PUBLIC COMMENT-

No public comment at this time.

Mike Courtemanche stated that he wanted to address some on-line comments.

Vernon Police Applicants-

Chief Turnley e-mailed the board that if following the interviews and candidates successfully cleared background checks could he have permission to immediately hire two full time certified officers interested in working part time in Vernon.  Both individuals would require no or little training and could start immediately. The board agreed that on June 1st Chief Turnley was to start the hire process and after the process is completed Chief Turnley would make his recommendations to the board. 

Seasonal Employees Overtime-

Mike Courtemanche stated that seasonal employees were putting in for overtime and they are not subject to overtime. Sally had determined that through State Statue summer seasonal employees are not entitled to overtime. Seth knows about this and has conveyed this with his employees.

It is the consensus of the board to comply with the overtime rules of the State Statue.
