Lisbon selectmen approve $1 increase to EMS base pay
Summary
The Lisbon Board of Selectmen unanimously approved a new EMS pay scale raising the base rate by $1.00; Selectman Arthur Boutin said such changes should typically be made during budgeting but the board approved the increase provided it does not exceed the salary line.
The Lisbon Board of Selectmen voted unanimously April 13 to adopt a revised emergency medical services pay scale that raises the base rate by $1.00.
Selectman Arthur Boutin questioned timing, saying he "feels as though this should be done during budgeting." Selectman Scott Champagne replied that he agreed it was preferable to address pay changes during budget meetings but that an off-cycle increase is acceptable if the board is not exceeding the salary line.
Boutin moved to approve the revised pay scale and Selectman Brian Higgins seconded; the motion passed with all members voting in favor.
What happens next: The change was approved at the meeting and will be implemented per the town's payroll procedures; the minutes do not specify which payroll period the increase will take effect.
