• SPECIAL BOARD MEETING May 20, 1985 Page 2 Chief Lou Barth met with the Board. He submitted a copy of a letter and article by John Roussos, owner of New Orleans Restaurant, 1920 Fordem Avenue, for apprec- iation of efforts of the police department. Discussed with Chief Barth Attorney Herrick's interpretation on James McCarthy's request for reinstatement to the police department and that his previous letter of resignation be rescinded. After discussion, Ms. Harvey moved, seconded by Ms. Matthews that we continue James McCarthy on a limited term basis, temporary appoint- ment for a period up to six months from date of hire, and encourage him to apply the next time we have the recruitment process. Motion carried. Chief Barth is to relay this message to Mr. McCarthy. Discussed the Sergeant position with Chief Barth due to the request of Dennis Staple- ton asking for a demotion from Sergeant to police officer for personal reasons. This request was approved by the prior Board and has been held in abeyance by the police department until a decision has been reached as to coverage for the 3rd shift. Chief Barth outlined the temporary solution for use of the swing-shift person and this will be implemented without filling the vacant Sergeant position at this time. Ms. Matthews moved, seconded by Ms. Harvey that the request for variance for Gilbert Docken under Petition #1352 for a sideyard variance at 1909 Sherman Avenue be approved upon the recommendation of Mr. Uttech. Motion carried. Request for excavation permit by Terra Engineering for Landmark was approved and Mr. Uttech is to have Terra take the appropriate action to get on our approved list of contractors to do work in the town. The Board discussed general town and personnel issues at length. Minutes of the May 13, 1985 regular Board meeting were read and approved on motion by Ms. Harvey, seconded by Ms. Matthews and carried. General vouchers were approved and signed. Operators applications (1984) for Surinderpal S. Bamrach, Susan D. Lobins, Patrick Hockers were approved by the Board on motion by Ms. Harvey, seconded by Ms. Matthews and carried. The request for Eric K. Hanson was denied; and the applications of John G. Casad and Stephen eAre deferred until they meet with the Board (after June 17, 1985) to discuss their applications, on motion by Ms. Harvey seconded by Ms. Matthews and carried. Letter from Mike Spencer of the Teamsters Union ref health insurance deduction for Rob Luther was discussed. Letter is to be directed to him, with copy to Atty. Herrick, advising him that the April premium was deducted on March 8 (because health insurance premiums are paid a month in advance) and Mr. Luther did not give verbal notice of termination until after that date. Per town policy the full amount is then deducted from the employee's check. Minutes of the police departments informational meeting on the XR-5000 held May 7 were reviewed and placed on file.
