Selectboard schedules evaluations, approves Physical Fitness Policy and holds executive session on personnel
Summary
The board agreed to require supervisor/employee meetings in executive session for merit raises, scheduled further sessions for August 6, approved a standalone Physical Fitness Policy (Grant recused), authorized Schwartz to sign a Financial Management Questionnaire, and entered executive session for personnel (8:10–8:35 PM) with no decisions recorded.
During administrative business the Selectboard discussed scheduling supervisor evaluations and recommended that all town employees meet in executive session with their supervisors as part of merit‑based raises. The board asked staff to create an employee evaluation form and begin scheduling supervisors and employees for the next meeting on August 6.
The board approved a stand‑alone Physical Fitness Policy for employees and elected officials (motion: Isaacs; second: Schwartz); Member Beth Grant recused herself from that vote. The board also authorized Vice‑Chair William Schwartz to sign the Financial Management Questionnaire for towns and cities; audits were scheduled for August 13–14. At 8:10 PM the board voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters and reconvened at 8:35 PM; no decisions were reported from the executive session. The meeting adjourned at 8:36 PM.
Why it matters: the board’s approach to evaluations and merit‑based raises affects personnel practices. Approval of the Physical Fitness Policy sets a personnel standard to be applied to employees and elected officials as written.
