Resident objects to $5,000 highway superintendent pay cut; board defers to Nov. 5 hearing
Summary
Bob Ford told the board he was "very upset" about a $5,000 cut tied to his new role as highway superintendent. Supervisor Anthony Fernandez explained the Board's rationale and invited Ford to raise the matter at the Nov. 5 public hearing; the Board took no wage action at the workshop.
Public commenter Bob Ford told the Board he was "very upset" that his wage was cut by $5,000 after becoming highway superintendent. The comment was recorded during the Oct. 21 budget workshop public-comment period.
Town Supervisor Anthony Fernandez explained the Board's rationale for the proposed pay adjustment: that Ford is not a mechanic, which the Board said could increase outside repair costs for town vehicles, and that he has not previously held a supervisory role. Fernandez said no wage changes would be made at the Oct. 21 meeting and that Ford could make his point at the Nov. 5 public hearing when the Board will consider final budget and related items.
