VI. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.
During the discussion regarding grievance procedures the committe
raised the question of whether or not it would be legal for a
Personnel Board to serve as a binding arbitrator in a personnel
decision. It was suggested that the Borough Manager's office
check into the Charter as to the legalities of such.
Workmen's Compensation was also a topic discussed by Lorna Arndt
in reference to health insurance. The secretary was asked to
check locally with the State Department of Labor and find out
what their requirements were regarding Workmen's Comp.
VII. PERSONNEL BOARD.
Throughout the meeting reference was made to a Personnel Board.
The consensus of the committee was to establish a Personnel Board
and the decision was expressed to go on record stating such. One
of the committee's objectives when putting together the personnel
policy package will be to provide a policy statement for the
mechanics of setting a Personnel Board up and granting authority
to it within the policy.
