Board weighs formal review process for town staff, orders fireproof file and tightens office security
Summary
Selectboard discussed establishing a formal annual review process for administrative staff (noting differences between salaried and hourly employees), agreed to order a fireproof filing cabinet from available general-fund balance, and confirmed plans to implement locks and staff responsibilities for securing offices and restrooms.
Board members discussed creating a consistent review process for administrative positions, including the treasurer and administrative assistant, and whether review timing should be based on anniversary dates or during budget preparation. The Chair said the increase for the treasurer is built into next year's budget and encouraged a written process to avoid inconsistent past practice.
Separately the board agreed to purchase a fireproof filing cabinet for selectboard records and to pay for it in the current fiscal year from general-fund balances. Members emphasized the need to place invoices on the Monday warrants list so payment can be processed before year end. The board also confirmed new locking procedures for the renovated bathroom and town-office doors and asked the Chair to coordinate with the town clerk to communicate who is responsible for locking after meetings.
