Doing a little afternoon reading, minutes of selectmen workshop of March 22, 2018, the sewer budget was on the agenda, with Kent Songer and sewer commissioner Tom Jeleniewski in attendance to present their budget to selectmen. On the subject of sewer department admin assistant to be full time or part time with benefits to be accrued. Carter Terenzini suggested "that we move into the budget discussion and move into the other matter at a later time.

April 2, 2018, selectmen meeting, there was discussion of whether admin assistant would be 36 hours in FY2019 and 40 hours in FY 2020.

Discussion on collections of sewer bills done in town hall and could those indirect costs be billed to sewer enterprise fund, answer yes. Would that help the general fund expenses, yes, stated by John Caplis.

Vote to make sewer admin assistant to 40 hours in FY2019, yes by all selectmen. Additional cost to sewer enterprise fund stated as $2,750.00 for FY2019.

Stated that on April 23, 2018, a report from the T/A to BOS regarding costs and or savings for sewer rate payers and general fund expenses.

Watch selectmen meeting of April 23, 2018 and saw no reference of any report concerning sewer enterprise fund. On April 2, 2018, T/A stated time frame to complete report, about 6 hours.

Why would a pay raise be denied by the T/A for the admin assistant for sewer department. Who is the town employee charged with adjustments to payroll? Do you think that employee would ask and follow direction from the T/A even with a raise budgeted for and paid from an enterprise fund. Is this the same practice followed regarding light and water employees? Why would it be different? Templeton municipal light has to go before selectmen for things like a pole hearing, so why not pay raises too?

Some funny stuff going on in town hall these days. Time for sewer commissioners to have a public sit down with selectmen and ask some questions!
