Select Board approves hiring-freeze exemption for seasonal cemetery and parks workers
Summary
The Select Board granted an exemption to the townwide hiring freeze to allow hiring intermittent seasonal employees for cemetery and parks operations; finance had previously approved seasonal positions and the board approved the specific hire to proceed.
The Select Board approved an exemption to the town's hiring freeze to permit the hiring of intermittent, seasonal workers for cemetery and parks operations.
Staff said the finance committee had already approved the seasonal positions and was waiting only for individual hires. A staff member explained the hiring delay was due to timing (for example, a candidate waiting to finish school) and that the department requested confirmation so seasonal work could proceed. The board moved and approved the exemption during the meeting.
The discussion referenced earlier communications from Don Hayes dated in April but did not include specifics of the hire or salary; the board’s action authorized the department to proceed with filling the seasonal position rather than authorizing a permanent hire.
