New Business 
The Committee reviewed the amended job description for the Sewer Business Manager.  The Committee suggested 
that Bill consider increasing the level of experience given the expansive knowledge needed for this role. The 
Committee also acknowledged several other areas that the revised description better explained increasing the degrees 
of some areas.  The new total = 655 pts./ Grade 10. 
The Committee then began a review of the roles that covered the Council on Aging employees.  One outstanding issue 
was the element of confidentiality.  The Committee agreed that the kitchen positions should be a degree 2 for 
confidentiality. That adjusted their totals. COA Dietary Aid (also corrected Physical Demands to Degree 2 like all the 
other roles in that group. 345Pts/Grade 5; COA Asst. Meal Site Manager 370 pts/Grade 6;  Van Driver 460 pts/Grade 
7; COA Meal Site Manager did not change.  The COA Outreach Coordinator also was adjusted for confidentiality, 
from a Degree 3 to a degree 4 changing to 615 pts/Grade 9. 
The Committee did not review the Land Use or the Facility Directors job descriptions.  
 
The Committee reviewed what remaining positions needed review and the next steps of the process. The Committee 
will begin to develop a new salary grid over the next few meetings.   
 
The group set aggressive February meeting targets given the need to prepare for the presentation to the Select Board; 
Targeted:  January 31 - Wednesday; February 7 - Wednesday, February 12 - Monday
