Selectboard directs Personnel Committee to create contract templates and evaluation framework
Summary
The New Salem Selectboard charged its Personnel Committee with drafting standardized contract templates and an annual evaluation framework for contract-required department heads, starting with the Town Coordinator, after noting several leadership positions lack signed contracts.
The New Salem Selectboard on July 23 instructed the Personnel Committee to develop standardized employment contract templates and an annual evaluation framework for department heads who require contracts. Chair Rick Taupier and board members emphasized the need to create consistent contract language and evaluation procedures beginning with the Town Coordinator position.
Board members said the action responds to a broader gap: the police chief, fire chief and town coordinator currently lack signed contracts, and the board intends to use annual appointments as an interim approach while the Personnel Committee completes its work. The Personnel Committee will return with templates and a proposed schedule for implementing evaluations.
