   I.      DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AMENDING “ATTACHMENT A” OF RESOLUTION 
           NO. 719, POLICE DEPARTMENT WAGE AND SALARY PLAN.
           Town Manager Hoskovec stated that the changes to Attachment A of Resolution No. 719 have been made as
           discussed at the budget workshop held on August 27, 2003.  Town Manager Hoskovec stated that on Page 2. 
           under the Step Plan section, Paragraph A. has been reworded as follows, “Fiscal Year Salary Increases: On 
           October 1 of each fiscal year, those employees whose annual performance meets the departmental standards 
           will be eligible to receive up to a 5% salary increase.”  Town Manager Hoskovec recommended approval of the 
           amendment as presented.

           Mayor Crispen stated that this change in wording allows the management to give the 5 percent immediately, 
           to defer it until a later date with some type of management letter or to hold the increase.

           Commissioner Walters asked what is meant by “departmental standards” as before we discussed that the 
           evaluation needed to be a very good rating?  Vice Mayor Smith commented that departmental standards is 
           a satisfactory on the evaluation.  Town Manager stated that a satisfactory has always been held in the past 
           by the Police Department from his understanding.
