Selectboard approves revised Town Hall job descriptions; defers personnel policy changes
Summary
The board approved amended job descriptions for 11 Town Hall positions (including renaming Finance Administrator to Finance Clerk and an assistant title) but deferred final decisions on social media and sick‑time buyout changes until Sept. 29.
On Sept. 15 the Brookline Selectboard approved revised job descriptions for 11 Town Hall positions, including renaming the Finance Administrator role and adopting amended hazard table language.
Stephen Dolfini moved to accept the job descriptions as amended; the motion passed 5–0. The board also reviewed Primex‑recommended edits to the town social media policy and proposed personnel policy changes suggested by Chief Stewart. Board members discussed independent contractor language, overtime calculation (confirming overtime is determined weekly, not averaged across a two‑week pay period), and whether to offer sick‑time buyouts to part‑time employees.
Members generally agreed to leave the current sick‑time buyout policy in place for this year and to revisit a possible transition to a Paid Time Off (PTO) model next year. Staff will bring revised social media and personnel policy language back for the Sept. 29 meeting.
