Ongoing Business 
J. Belliveau presented a Personnel Action Form for the Committee's review.  The position of the 
Principal Assessor had been both put out on an RFP, as well as advertised as a Town job 
opening.  No formal bids were submitted for the RFP. The Town was fortunate to have several 
qualified candidates apply for the role.  A selection had been made and J. Belliveau was seeking 
approval for hiring the primary candidate at the approved Grade 15, but as a step 4, given the 
17 years of experience and the knowledge and skills of the candidate.  There is remaining 
surplus budget funding for this action.  The Committee reviewed the submission and verified 
that no other employees held comparable roles.  Both the Town Manager and the HR Director 
supported this action.  Special Note:  The Grade of this role at a 15 will be approved at the next 
appropriate Town Meeting as noted in previous minutes. 
Motion by D. MacDonald to accept the recommendation for the Principal Assessor candidate to 
be placed at a Grade 15 step 4   Second:  S. Andrews
