ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Mr. Franklin Moore offered the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION
Whereas it has been established in the course of con- siderable discussion in connection with Article 7 of the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting of 1944, that vari- ous Town Boards and Department Heads have occasionally, toward the close of a year, increased the rate of compensa- tion of some employees under their jurisdiction, using for this purpose funds made available by some unforseen cir- cumstance, such as the resignation of another employee under the jurisdiction of the said Board or Department Head.
Whereas such an increase was not contemplated in arriving at the original amount of the appropriation for "Personal Services" for that Board or Department made by the previous Town Meeting.
Whereas it has not yet been determined, in the case of an employee under Civil Service jurisdiction, whether an increase in compensation established by a Board or Depart- ment Head in one year must be maintained in succeeding years by the Town irrespective of the wishes of the Town Meeting.
Whereas it is believed that an expression of opinion on the part of the Town Meeting with reference to the above controversial practice would be helpful to the several Boards and Department Heads concerned, and would result in a · better understanding between the Town Meeting and the various Town Boards and Departments.
It is, therefore, hereby resolved that
It is the feeling of this Town Meeting that Town Boards and Department Heads should not, during a given year, increase the rate of compensation of an
79
TOWN RECORDS
employee under their jurisdiction beyond the rate con- templated in the original appropriation made by the Town Meeting, except, in case such increase has first been presented to and approved by the Finance Com- mittee. The Town Meeting fully realizes that, once an appropriation for personal services has been made, the distribution of such funds legally rests with the gov- erning Board or Department Head. Since, however, the amount of the original appropriation is determined by the Town Meeting, based on requirements as estimated by the Board or Department Head, it seems only proper that, should altered circumstances appear to justify a change not previously contemplated in some individual's compensation rate, such a change should be referred to the Finance Committee which is the Town Meeting's advisory board.
There being no further business under Article 7, the Moderator declared it disposed of.
