Salary Committee finds that Arlington and '.Waltham are competitors fax of Lexington. For Si and S3 positions, trey are paying higher salaries.

For example the difference between S5 and S4 is $200; this would be maintained. This would result in a smaller percentage increase in the higher grades. Step increase plus increase in salary scale would be about 10% increase. Police salaries have not been decided. Health budgets discussed with Rufus IicQuillan He requests tnat the Clerk's title be changed to Agent and t:.t she go from S7 to S12.Because she acts as agent, the Director can function as inspector.
