Council will identify and reduce service to accommodate additional
salary expense Council members 'advice on service item reduction

be reflected by an enhanced job description (to include executive
duties) and that any new wage rate proposal must be comparable to
equivalent jobs in Town, i e Veteran Benefits Director, and Recreation
Department Director Town Personnel Committee and Town Manager must
approve any new part-time employee wage rate using the principle of
comparable job/comparable wages Our suggested FY ' 80 Coordinator
wage adjustment is in line with this principle

Manager by October 27, 1978 (see attached) The Executive Committee
