NEW BUSINESS VT Department of Health Form The Select Board reviewed a form received from the VT Department of Health for the Town Health Officer appointment from April 30, 2005 through April 30, 2006. The Select Board appointed Bruce Babcock as Health Officer at their March 2, 2005 meeting. The Select Board unanimously approved H. Pelkey to sign the form.
Pension Plan Town employees working a minimum of 24 hours a week are entitled to participate in the Vermont Municipal Employee Retirement System. Records indicate Mike Warfle, Constable often works in excess of 24 hours a week and had not become a member of VMERS. Gordon DeLong researched VT Statutes and found that an employee covered through another pension plan could be exempt from the pension plan if they so requested such an exemption. M. Warfle requested in writing to be exempt from the Town pension plan and enclosed a letter form the City of Rutland stating he is covered by their pension plan. The Select Board agreed to have M. Balch draft a letter to VMERS requesting M. Warfle obtain exemption status from participating in the VMERS plan
