ARTICLLE 2.
Mr. Canavan, Jr., submitted the following report of the Personnel Board:
At the 1960 Annual Town Meeting a motion was made by Mr. Withington which instructed the Personnel Board to review the posi- tions of various elected officials of the Town of Braintree and to make salary recommendations. The Personnel Board has done so but wishes to make clear to this Town Meeting its stand regarding the evalu- ation.
35
The Town By-Laws under the Salary Administration Plan Part I, Section 2 states that the Personnel Board shall periodically review the "positions of all officials and employees in the service of the Town other than its positions filled by popular election and those under the direction and control of the School Committee."
According to law, a post filled by popular election is specifically excluded from classification and compensation under the jurisdiction of the Personnel Board. On the other hand, an elected body such as a Town Meeting can request any body or group of citizens such as a Personnel Board to make recommendations regarding position evalua- tions or salaries to the Town Meeting. Accordingly, Charm and As- sociates were retained by the Board to assist in this evaluation. Charm obtained position descriptions from the Selectmen and Assessors with the full cooperation of the incumbents. Pro forma descriptions were prepared by Charm for Town Clerk, Tax Collector and Treasurer. These officials did not submit information as to their duties to Charm.
As indicated, the Personnel Board has no direct responsibility per se for the evaluation of these positions of elected Town officials. How- ever, in accordance with the instructions of the 1960 Town Meeting the Personnel Board wishes to make the following advisory ratings of these elected positions:
1. Selectmen (887)
2. Assessors (723)
3. Tax Collector (625)
4. Treasurer (580)
5. Town Clerk (565)
The Board would recommend slotting the two full time positions of Tax Collector and Treasurer at an annual salary of $6500. The other positions are of a part time nature and any salary set for these posi- tions must be adjusted to fit the part time nature of the office.
SO VOTED That the report of the Personnel Board be accepted and placed on file.
ARTICLE 14. Salaries elective Town Officials.
SO VOTED That Article 14 be considered in conjunction with Article 15.
ARTICLE 15. Funds for Interest, Maturing Debt and Town De- partments.
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED That there be raised and appropriated or transferred from available funds for Maturing Debt and Interest and for charges and expenses of the Town Departments, the following ap- propriations, the salaries of the elective Town Officers in each case to be for the calendar year 1961, except any salary increase for Elec- tive Officers which may be approved shall not become effective before the beginning of the fourteenth week of 1961.
