FROM THE NEWSROOM: At Wednesdays Special Town Meeting, taxpayers approved an appropriation of up to $2,500 for the purchase of services from the Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (NECCOG) to perform an employee classification and compensation study. The study will address public concern over whether municipal workers are compensated appropriately, and examine what working is being done at the town hall. First Selectman Russell Gray says that the study will inclue a comprehensive analysis on whether municipal employees are correctly compensated for the work they do, as well as categorize the workers at town hall depending on their particular department and specialty. Gray also believes that this report will benefit the people of Sterling, and provide answers about how taxpayer money is being spent, which is particularly important around the budgeting season. Gray says that he has been told that NECCOG will deliver the report within five or six weeks of the start of the analysis. He also asserts that the plan for now is to have this report be a one time event; if the situation changes and there is a need for further analysis in the future, Sterling will look to get a new, similar report, or will build on the initial analysis. Tune in for the full report.
