4,9 7 In summing this situation up, the Chairman feels the Committee can recommend only one additional staff member to the Town Manager. POLICE Selectman Kenney feels that due to the great increase in armed robberies and investigations, which we did not have in the 60's the request here for additional men is very necessary. Chairman Furash stated that before we could recommend more than one man to the force, we would have to have more detailed information as to exactly where and how these men would be utilized. We would recommend, however, the addition of one man in 1973 and the second one added in 1974. t.7 Selectman Kenney stated that to better insure the Appropriation Committee of the detailed presentations necessary to make proper recommendations, he is going to schedule a series of informational meetings. DPW 2 men - dump 2 men - sewer RECYCLING The whole matter of recycling still needs much more research and further discussion. The prime target should be prolonging the longevity of the dump, the Chairman said. Selectman Kenney feels that there are some merits to recycling. We are very fortunate in being able to maintain the low cost of getting rid of our trash and we would like to keep it that way, the Chairman said. The presentations we have seen so far do not persuade us that recycling would be the best way to do this. RECLASSIFICATION Chairman Furash made the following points : a. we understand that you have a union problem; b. we do not understand the reorganization proposal - it is impossible to digest such a massive program in one setting and at such a late date ; c . we do not want the union to take over, management perogatives ; d. we are not going along with two additional laborers; e. we want additional information on the two men at the dump; f. give us a plan showing what will not get done if two 1 additional men are not added.
