from Town meeting, May 20, 2013:


Article 59
To see if the Town will vote to rescind Town By-Law XLVII, the Personnel ByLaw, and replace it with the following:

The Board of Selectmen is responsible for the administration of all personnel policies and procedures. Submitted by the Personnel Board On a motion duly made and seconded the town voted that Revised General By-Laws, Article XLVII- Personnel By-Law, be amended to read as follows: The Board of Selectmen is responsible for the administration of all personnel policies and procedures.

 Passed/May 20th @ 8:10

The above seems to say the selectmen and not town meeting approves personnel policies and procedures such as hours compensation etc. The people who pushed for this should not now speak of "it should go to town meeting" or "it has gone to town meeting in the past" That has/was changed with this town meeting vote along with other votes.
