Other Business:
Policy and Practices Manual - The subcommittee has finished its review. Each Director received a copy of the draft. The result is some charts have been added showing responsibilities and clarifying that other permits besides KWIC’s are required. Each Director will be prepared to discuss further or approve the Manual at the June meeting.
Uniform Local Wastewater Law - Each Director received a cleaned up copy of the draft. It was noted that we had not discussed the “penalties” section and there may need to be some editing of this section. Again each Director will review the document before the June meeting in hopes we can have final passage of this document.
Intern position: The Personnel committee reviewed 3 or 4 people for this position which will reenter data known to be incorrect in the existing data base which will be necessary before the new software program can be utilized. Chairman Butchko offered the name of Docia Demmin who is capable of the job and is a student. The terms of the offer are ten dollars per hour for twenty hours per week up to $4000. Evaluations will take place every three weeks. Upon motion of Socha and second by Jones the hiring of the intern was approved.
An updated roster was distributed.
The next meeting is June 28, 2010 at the Town of Wayne.
