43 <br /> III . GENERAL DISCUSSION <br /> Mr. Blaisdell informed the Committee that he had been in <br /> touch with the Winchester Personnel Board and presented <br /> Vice Chairman Mitchell with a copy of their By-Laws and <br /> job descriptions. Briefly, their Board is comprised of <br /> 5 men and it is to be increased shortly. A meeting was <br /> set for Thursday, December 6, 1973 at 8:00 P.M. at <br /> Mr. Mitchell's home to discuss with Messrs. Bernier, <br /> Blaisdell, and Burnell the material and knowledge so far <br /> gathered regarding the Personnel Board. <br /> Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. , joined the meeting briefly and stated <br /> his feelings regarding the Board and felt that the Board <br /> ;r; Members should be selected by the Moderator. <br /> The meeting adjourned to the Selectmen's Room to hear the Presentation <br /> given by Fire Chief Spellman. <br /> The Chief gave a very excellent presentation and feels <br /> that in order to do the very best for the Town of Lexington <br /> it will be necessary to add four new men to the Department. <br /> All equipment is up to date and in his estimation the best <br /> available. The manpower situation is however not up to the <br /> best standards. A comparison chart of surrounding communities <br /> is attached. <br /> IV. Howard Levingston reported on his meeting of November 27, 1973: <br /> The main topic of that meeting was the request of four new <br /> people. In answer to the question of the whereabouts of the <br /> cherry picker it is presently doing nothing! The DPW Hydrants <br /> are in the process of getting new fittings on them for the <br /> new pumpers and Fire Box Maintenance is under contract. However, <br /> this later point was disputed by Mr. Blaisdell. <br /> Meeting adjourned at 10:15 P.M. <br /> Next meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 10, 1973 at 7:30 P.M. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Elizabeth M. Flynn/mo'b <br /> Secretary <br />
