-Y/d Fire Dis- patchers Salary In- crease Jere Frick Appt. to MAPC II' Reports From Manager Capital Budget Selectmen's Meeting - 4 - January 2, 1979 The Manager referred the Board to its report from the Personnel Advisory Board relative to the request to review the Fire Dispatcher salary increase. The Personnel Advisory Board approved the increase. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to grant four fire dispatchers an increase of $500.00 each to be effective January 2. A transfer from Article 5 is authorized to implement this increase. The Manager informed the Board that, subject to its approval, he plans to reappoint Jere Frick to the MAPC as she is willing to serve again for three years. The Board gave its approval. Other items that the Manager reported to the Board were that the B.C. interns had filed their human service report and it will be dis- tributed to interested Boards on Tuesday. Joan Tuttle of D.E.P. informed Mr. Hutchinson that Mrs. Murphy is ex- pected to sign the authorizations for our grants this week. He expects the final report of the Sewer Advisory Committee next week. Administrative Public Hearing regarding Chapter 90, Adams Street will be held on January 10 and the Selectmen's hearing will be held on January 22. During a discussion of the capital budget, it was brought out that several pieces of road machinery will need to be replaced at an approxi- mate cost of $165,700. Included in this figure was $80,000 for a new compactor at the landfill. It was felt that it would be more cost effective to replace the old one rather than repair it. The new machine could be utilized until the closing of the landfill about 1981. Cemetery equipment replacement was a major consideration as it was felt that better equipment would help to continue the expansion program and produce better maintenance. Mr. Busa asked the Manager to look into the possibility of drilling a 100 foot well to provide water for cemetery uses. Mr. Hutchinson said that he would look into it and come back with a report. An additional $10,000 is needed for a sewer line for the center pool. There was some discussion as to whether or not this amount should be in- cluded in the sewer program or the pool project. The Manager recommended an additional $140,000 for revaluation and $200,000 for the reserve fund. Conservation expenditures are covered by available money. The Chairman thanked the Manager for these preliminary figures and the meeting adjourned. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn at 10:00 P.M.
