Today's edition consists of email between the Dartmouth paralegal and Attorney Bartulis and his first attempt at contract language leading up to the Feb 9th meeting in Dartmouth which I posted about here.
Apparently the town had some communication problems which prevented the emails and contract language from getting through until Feb 7th. I posted the Feb 6 emails here, the proposed contract language here, and the Feb 7 emails here
Even at this time, Att'y Bartulis was warning that ...
...this language was unusual. He says on Feb 7, "While I am usually in the position of affording management, not the employees, with the most protections, and while I am not usually asked to bind a Town with more restrictive contractual language, since you have indicated that the Select Board wants to accommodate your concerns regarding funding, just cause protections, negotiable wages and job security, I have drafted some clauses which you and the Board might find useful to meet your shared objectives."
Another interesting point is that the contract provision requiring the EMPLOYEE to give the TOWN 90 days notice if the employee wants to end the agreement didn't make it into the final wording.

Ms. Copley certainly was a busy lady. Was she as busy working at her actual job that we were paying her to do as she was on guaranteeing herself a job (or some job) and her salary for life?
She certainly covered her bases well, essentially telling everyone what she wanted and how she wanted it worded.
And everyone went along with it.
But of course, they benefited from it, too. So much for looking out for us.
When will the citizens of Dartmouth wake up? these automatic renewals of contracts are a disservice to the tax payers of Dartmouth !!!!!
What were that 2006 selectboard thinking????????
Why didn't they listen to the lawyer that is looking out for the best of the town of Dartmouth ???

What's the difference whether or not you spell correctly. If you don't, you are called ignorant. If you do, you are accused of having other people do your writing for you.
