• FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES
Monday, February 22, 1988 9.30 A.M.
A meeting of the Financial Advisory Board was held at 9:30 A.M. on
Monday, February 22, 1988, at Town Hall.
Members present included Richard Brunton, Ben Cohen, Grover Ensley,
Fred Firstenburg and Reese James.
Also present throughout the meeting were Mayor Betty Jean Stewart and
Town Manager Mary Ann Mariano.
Following review and upon motion properly made and seconded, the
minutes of the February 16, 1988, meeting were accepted and approved as
written.
There were no items of correspondence for consideration.
The meeting then proceeded with its continuing review of the proposed
personnel policies which is the only item on the agenda for this
meeting.
The Town Manager presented the F.A.B. with her rewrite of
• pages 5, 6 and 7 as had been agreed upon at the February 16,
meeting. During the discussion of this "rewrite", a number
of additional changes were deemed necessary and the Town
Manager again agreed to rewrite pages 6 and 7 to reflect the
agreed upon changes. Included in these changes was reconsi-
deration of the thrust of the EXCEL program. Following an
in-depth discussion on the intent as well as the effect of
this program, it was determined that the best results would
be achieved if the policy were rewritten to provide -
1. That "EXCEL" employees wage adjustments be calculated
on the Employee's anniversary date.
2. That the "EXCEL" payment be given in the next pay period
following such anniversary review.
3. That the amount awarded under the "EXCEL" program be
based upon the same percentage criteria as merit pay
adjustments as provided for in the Merit pay policy.
4. That the "EXCEL" payment be made in a single lump sum
payment and for positive identification purposes, the
payment to be by separate check.
The Financial Advisory Board then reviewed the original pages 8 thru 13
•during which the need for substantial changes were noted. The Town
Manager agreed to have the rewrites of pages 8 - 13 ready for the next
Financial Advisory Board Meeting.
