Town administrator outlines wage-study options; board shown $23,000–$35,000 budget impact
Summary
Town Administrator Emily Nolan presented a wage study comparing similar towns and proposed two pay-adjustment options; the Select Board was shown potential budget impacts of $23,000–$35,000 and asked Nolan to return in August with edits to the evaluation form.
Town Administrator Emily Nolan reviewed an employee wage study compiled from towns of similar population within roughly two hours and presented two options for the Select Board: raise all employees to at least the 50th percentile, or base pay percentile on years of experience. Nolan estimated the budget impact for next year would be between $23,000 and $35,000 depending on which option the board selected.
Nolan also presented a revised employee-evaluation form that uses a point system intended to support merit raises. Select Board member Doucette asked that Ashland be included in the comparative data; Prentice requested adding a comments field beside each evaluation category. Nolan said she would make those edits and return to the board in August.
