The Town will be looking for Town Meeting approval to fund and implement the cost of items of the first year of pending collective bargaining agreements between the Town and its employee unions and employees covered by the Personnel Bylaw (Article 2C).

Article 2C

Approve and Fund Collective Bargaining Agreements

To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate $400,000 to fund and implement the cost of items of the first year of pending collective bargaining agreements between the Town and its employee unions and employees covered by the Personnel Bylaw, for the period of July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024; or take any action relative thereto.

Summary

The Town has reached agreement with each of its collective bargaining unions and non-unionized employees. State Law requires that the first year of union agreements be funded by a separate article. These agreements cover employees in our Police, Fire, Dispatch, DPW, and Administrative Departments covering all Town employees for the period beginning July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2026. This article approves funding needed for fiscal year 2024. The total funding required for the three-year period totals $550,000, which is the subject of a proposed Proposition 2 ½ override vote at our Town election.

Town Meeting

May 6th

10:00 a.m.

Nauset Regional High School Athletic Field

100 Cable Road, Eastham MA

State Law requires that Town Meeting be held within the geographic limits of the Town, unless a special law, charter, or bylaw provides otherwise. Due to the Nauset Regional High School building project, the gym and cafeteria at the High School will be unavailable for the next 3 years.

We are proposing this bylaw addition to allow the Select Board to make the decision to hold town meeting indoors at the Nauset Middle School or any other suitable location in Orleans or Wellfleet if necessary while the renovation is taking place.

ARTICLE 5A (LOCATION OF TOWN MEETING IF NRHS IS NOT AVAILABLE)

To see if the Town will vote to add a new section 5 to Chapter 4 of the Town’s General Bylaws, Administration of Government, as follows:

4-5. Location of Town Meeting In the event that the Select Board determines that no suitable location is available to conduct a Special or Annual Town Meeting, the Board may call for such Town Meeting to be conducted at a suitable location in Orleans or Wellfleet; or to take any other action relative thereto
