Town records $2,720 per-parade staffing cost; board to consider cruiser rate for recovery
Summary
Town Manager Jessica Cyr presented a $2,720 per-parade cost (8 officers at $85 for 4 hours). The board asked staff to consider applying a cruiser rate when recouping event-detail costs from organizers.
Jessica Cyr reviewed parade-detail cost calculations that produced a $2,720 per-parade figure based on eight officers at an $85 detail rate for four hours. The select board discussed options for recovering those costs from event organizers.
Select Board member Shane Beattie suggested the town might apply a cruiser-rate charge in addition to officer-detail fees to better recoup expenses. No policy change was adopted at the meeting; staff will continue to refine cost-recovery options.
