Ongoing Business 
J. Belliveau outlined the current status of the HR Consultant project, and noted the material she had sent out 
the previous day and her concerns that the delays that had been experienced were a concern and asked if we 
would be better served to just postpone, and not rush an incomplete project before the Select board and for 
approval at Town Meeting, but rather propose a COLA for FY24 and move to complete the project by fall. 
D. Fortune offered that we might just move the job descriptions portion to the fall.  W. Bertrand expressed 
frustration that we needed to get this done as we had discussed it for the last year.  How that might be 
accomplished was discussed and when we should meet again, perhaps in person if that was possible. 
As the town was currently in a severe snowstorm and most participants did not have power and the HR 
consultant was not able to be on the call, all agreed continued effort to complete be project for Annual 
Town Meeting should be made.   
 
New Business 
J.  Belliveau presented a pay rate request to the selected candidate for Recreation Director at Grade 9 Step 3 
due to her education and experience.  She noted that the town has been recruiting for this role since August 
2022 and had few qualified applicants.   
Motion from S. Andrews to accept the recommendation of the HR Director to offer the candidate for 
Recreation Director the role as a Grade 9 Step 3.
