After executive session, Selectboard raises water operator pay to $500/week; vote 3-0-1
Summary
The Selectboard entered executive session Nov. 17 under VSA §313(a)(1)(B) and (a)(3) for personnel; after exiting, the board approved raising the town water operator’s pay to $500 per week, paid bi-weekly. The motion passed 3-0-1 with one abstention.
The Selectboard entered executive session at 6:52 p.m. on Nov. 17 under the Vermont statute cited in the minutes (VSA §313(a)(1)(B) and (a)(3)) to discuss personnel and staffing. The board exited executive session at 7:07 p.m., and subsequently voted to change the town Water Operator’s pay.
According to the minutes, "Leanne makes a motion to update the Water Operator’s salary to $500 week to be paid on a bi-weekly schedule. Dan seconds. 3-0-1 (Mark abstains)." The motion was carried with Leanne Barnard and Daniel Khan voting in favor, Suzanne Dollois voting in favor, and Mark Brouillette recorded as abstaining.
The minutes do not include the Water Operator’s name or whether the pay change is retroactive; the motion specifies a rate of $500 per week and that pay will be issued on a bi-weekly schedule. The board’s use of executive session for personnel matters is consistent with the statutory citations recorded in the minutes; the transcript excerpt does not provide further context for the personnel discussion.
