Select Board approves hiring Dana Griswold as Sunday transfer-station attendant
Summary
During an executive-session action authorized under 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(3), the Londonderry Select Board moved to hire Dana Griswold as the transfer-station Sunday attendant at $30 per hour (no benefits) and approved the appointment by voice vote.
The Londonderry Select Board entered executive session under 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(3) on Jan. 5 to discuss appointment and employment matters related to the transfer station. In executive session a member moved "to hire Dana Griswold at $30 an hour for the transfer station on Sundays," specifying that the hourly position would not include benefits. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board had said earlier that the previous Sunday attendant resigned and that Keith had been filling in; the approved appointment establishes ongoing Sunday coverage. Staff indicated they would complete any necessary employment paperwork and finalize scheduling. The board did not discuss additional benefits during the recorded motion.
Why it matters: maintaining regular staffing at the transfer station ensures ongoing permit distribution, operations of the vending machine and service continuity for residents. The hiring was handled under the statutory executive-session exemption for personnel matters, with the board reporting the final decision in the open meeting.
