Town manager proposes $85 hourly police detail rate
Summary
Town Manager Jessica Cyr proposed an $85/hour police detail rate based on a breakdown of labor, equipment and town revenue; she cited comparator towns charging $80–$108.58/hour and recommended the proposed rate to the Select Board.
Town Manager Jessica Cyr presented a proposed police detail rate of $85 per hour during the Select Board work session. Cyr said the $85 figure is based on a breakdown of $55 per hour for labor, $22.91 per hour for machine/equipment costs, and $7.09 per hour in revenue to the town. She told the board she surveyed nearby communities and reported that Berlin, Gorham and Groveton charge $80 per hour, Coos County Sheriff’s Department charges $90 per hour, and Colebrook charges about $108.58 per hour.
Cyr presented the cost components to justify the proposal; the minutes record the proposal and comparator rates but do not record a formal vote or adoption of the $85 hourly rate. The board did not record further action in these minutes; any formal adoption or adjustment would require a subsequent agenda item and vote.
