The Committee again discussed Mrs. Jean Seybold's request to have her
working hours reduced from a forty-eight hour week to a forty hour week.
The Committee recommends approval of this request with the provision
that the hourly rate of pay remain the same ($1.62.2). Mrs. Seybold
will receive consideration for a raise in pay at such time as this con-
sideration is given the entire Department.
The Police Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees that the Town
Attorney prosecute all cases in which a complaining witness files the
complaint and the defendent is represented by counsel and that the Town
Attorney interview the complaining witness prior to the filing of the
complaint.
The Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees that Chapter 9.3 of
the Municipal Code be amended effective May 1, 1968, raising the Police
Magistrates salary to $1,800.00 per annum.
Chief Banks appeared before the Committee and asked that the Town adopt
the contributory type policemen's pension plan. After considerable
discussion, the Committee decided to discuss this request further at
a future meeting when all members are present.
Chief Banks submitted the following report:

The Police Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees that the Police
Chief and Sergeant be give a three per cent salary increase and the rest
of the department be give a five per cent salary increase, effective
February 1, 1968. The reason for these is, the general need for a salary
increase plus the increase in the cost of living.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
