Summary

Facing no qualified applicants for the permanent transportation coordinator, the committee approved a temporary, as-needed position to be filled by retired coordinator Sandy Labarge at an agreed hourly rate; the committee voted to create the temporary position.

With the transportation coordinator position vacant since April and no qualified applicants, the superintendent proposed a temporary, as-needed assignment for retired coordinator Sandy Labarge to handle vehicle inspections, registrations and limited coordinator duties until a permanent hire is found. The superintendent said Sandy has already agreed to occasional driving duties and recommended a temporary pay arrangement.

The request referenced an hourly amount in two places during the discussion (a draft line showing $50.50/hour and a subsequent statement requesting $55/hour). The superintendent asked the committee to approve the temporary as-needed position at a rate of $55 per hour, and Mister Underhill moved the motion; Miss Briggs seconded. The committee voted in favor and the motion carried.

Committee members discussed limits on hours for retirees under the collective-bargaining rules and confirmed the arrangement is intended to be short-term while recruitment continues.
