Selectboard narrows transfer-station role to attendant, approves posting at $18–$20/hour
Summary
After revising the job description to remove managerial and budgeting duties, the selectboard voted to post a transfer-station attendant job (estimated 15–20 hours/week) and to require the New Hampshire solid-waste operator certification be obtained after hire.
The selectboard voted to revert the transfer-station role from a manager back to an attendant, removing managerial and budgeting responsibilities from the job description and approving a posting with a hiring range of $18–$20 per hour.
Members reviewed the draft position description line by line and agreed to remove duties that implied long-term budgeting or personnel management while retaining responsibilities such as cleanliness, maintenance oversight, collecting fees, recordkeeping and ensuring recyclables meet quality standards. The board decided the attendant should report to the road agent, provide weekly transaction summaries to the town administrator, and attend selectboard meetings quarterly. The position will require the New Hampshire solid-waste operator certification; staff said the certification can be obtained after appointment but must be held within a specified time frame.
After discussion about hours and pay—typical work was estimated at 15–20 hours per week—the chair moved to post the position with the modified description and a hiring range of $18 to $20 per hour; the motion passed by voice vote. The board authorized Jeanette (town staff) to post the advertisement and handle recruitment logistics.
