MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Town Council Members

 

FROM:            Mayor Kevin Foy

 

SUBJECT:       Change in Authorized Hours for Assistant to the Mayor Position from Part-Time to Full-Time

 

DATE:             November 25, 2002

 

 

The demands on the Mayor’s Office make it necessary to increase the hours of the Assistant to the Mayor from part-time (20 hours) to full-time (37.5 hours) weekly.  Having a person in this position full-time is necessary to respond to citizen telephone calls, e-mail messages, letters, and visits during the normal business hours at Town Hall.

 

The Assistant to the Mayor position is at Grade 37 in the Town’s pay plan, with a full-time pay range of $36,294 (hiring rate) to $54,441 (maximum rate).  The current budget for this position for 20 hours per week includes salary and benefits totaling about $29,000.  Funding the position at full-time (37.5 hours per week) effective immediately at Step 2 of the salary grade would require an additional allocation of about $15,500 for the remainder of the fiscal year. 

 

I request that the Council enact the attached ordinances:

 

• Ordinance A would amend the authorized Position Table to make the Assistant to the Mayor position a full-time (37.5-hour) position.

 

• Ordinance B would amend the current year budget to transfer $15,500 from the General Fund contingency account to supplement funding for the position for the remainder of the fiscal year.
