[Town Meeting] Amending the substitute motion - Article 21

[Paul Schlichtman]

I am contemplating offering an amendment to Mr. Carreiro's substitute
motion, as follows:

While we are at it, we should look to see exactly WHO gets a
salary/stipend and why.

VOTED:
  That the Town establish a Part-Time Elected Officials' [Salary and]
Benefits Study Committee, whose membership shall be:
• A member of the Post-Employment Medical Benefits Committee, appointed by
the Post-Employment Medical Benefits Committee.
• A member of the Retirement Board, appointed by the Retirement Board.
• A member of the Finance Committee, appointed by
• the Chair of the Finance Committee.
• A member of the Board of Selectmen, appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
• [A member of the School Committee, appointed by the School Committee]
• A Town Meeting Member, appointed by the Moderator.

  The Committee is charged to study and recommend whether or not paid
part-time elected officials of the Town should have limited retirement
allowances, whether or not paid part-time elected officials of the Town
should pay for healthcare benefits in excess of what the General Laws
provide, [which part-time elected officials should be paid] and, if the
Committee finds they [benefits for paid part-time officials] should
exist, what those limitations or excess payments should be.

  The Committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the 2007
Annual Town Meeting and then be dissolved.
