ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
SECTION 3. AMENDMENT OF THE PLANS.
The Classification plan, or the provisions included herein for the administration thereof, may be amended in the man- ner provided by law, or in the manner provided by the By- laws of the Town, whichever is applicable. The minimum and maximum salaries to be set forth in the pay plan may be established or changed by vote of the town at a Town Meeting, or as provided by law, whichever is applicable.
SECTION 4. PERSONNEL BOARD.
There shall be a Personnel Board consisting of three mem- bers as follows :- Chairman of the Board of Selectmen or a member designated by him, who shall be a member ex- officio and who shall be chairman; the Chairman of the Board of Public Works or a member designated by him, who shall also be a member ex-officio; and a third member who shall be a citizen of the town appointed by the Moder- ator. The first appointment of the third member shall be forthwith after the effective date of this By-law for a term expiring the following May first, or until his successor is appointed. Thereafter, the third member shall be appointed on or before the first day of May in each year. Said Per- sonnel Board shall have the power to employ and pay an Executive Secretary.
SECTION 5. CLASS DEFINITIONS.

SECTION 6. INTERPRETATION OF CLASS DEFINITIONS.
The definitions of the classes shall be interpreted as de- scriptive only and not restrictive. The definition for any class shall be construed solely as a means of identifying positions properly pertaining to the class, and not as prescribing what the duties or responsibilities of any posi- tion of the class shall be, or as modifying, or in any way affecting, the power of any administrative authority, as otherwise existing, to appoint, to assign duties to, or to direct and control the work of, any employee under the jurisdiction of such authority.

TOWN RECORDS
SECTION 7. RECORDS AND REQUISITIONS.
The Personnel Board shall keep such records of all em- ployees of the town, including the name, age, date of employ- ment, Civil Service classification, if any, department in which employed, nature of duties and other information as it deems desirable. All requisitions for persons to fill posi- tions or perform duties classified under the Civil Service law, all requests for transfers, increases in salary, changes in ratings, or other requests made to the Director of Civil Service or the Department of Civil Service shall be cleared through the Personnel Board.
SECTION 8. ALLOCATION OF POSITIONS TO CLASSES.
The Personnel Board shall allocate each position subject to the provisions of this By-law to its appropriate class in the classification plan. Whenever a new position is estab- lished, or the duties of an existing position are so changed that in effect, a new position of a different class is substi- tuted for the old position, the Personnel Board shall allocate such new or changed position to its appropriate class. It shall likewise reallocate any position from class to class whenever it finds such action warranted by reason of error in the allocation then in effect. It shall afford reasonable opportunity to be heard to any employee or appointing au- thority affected by any allocation or re-allocation, upon writ- ten request therefor, and may afford such opportunity in the absence of such request.
SECTION 9. TITLES OF POSITIONS.
No person shall be appointed, employed, or paid as an employee in any position subject to the provisions of this By-law, under any title other than that of the class to which the position is allocated. The title of each class shall be the official title of every position allocated to the class for all purposes having to do with the position as such, and shall be used to designate the position in all payrolls, budget esti- mates, and official records and reports, and in every other connection involving personnel and fiscal processes, but any abbreviation or code symbol approved by the Personnel Board may be used in lieu of the title to designate the class of a position in any such connection.
SECTION 10. INTERPRETATION OF PAY PLAN.
The interpretation and effects of the minimum and max- imum salaries at any time hereafter established by vote of the town, and provisions for initial adjustments to the pay plan, shall be included in the votes establishing such salaries.
