The new Town reorganization process has been further detailed.
Speaking with My Bancroft Now, Acting Clerk Lianne Sauter and Fire Chief Pat Hoover spoke more about the town reorganization process that they’ll both have a major part in.
Along with Sauter and Hoover, Public Works Manager Perry Kelly, Treasurer Arthur W. Smith and Treasury Department Coordinator Melissa Dynes will be joined by one more member. The position of manager of Community Development and Deputy Clerk will be filled in the New Year. Sauter says a HR consultant will be brought in to review of pay equity, review the job description for this new position and help put a pay grid in place.
With the new reorganization plan, current management members will take on extra duties. Public Works Manager Perry Kelly was asked during the presentation to Council earlier this week if he, specifically, will be prepared to take on extra duties. He said he would be. Sauter said a lot of time was spent working on the work load during the planning process.
Hoover said that going forward more presentations will be done. Most likely, he says, they will be done within a closed Council session. That’s because they’ll be dealing with staff structure within the new layout, which will involve unions. Once that’s finished the plan will be shown to the public.
The reasoning behind the reorganization has been mentioned every time it’s been talked about by Council: communication. Hoover put it simply when he said things don’t work well when you don’t communicate.
