Life guard: The town reimburses lifeguards for their recertification fee of about $250 and has a concern that the PLPD is paying for guards who only put in a few hours during the season.  We discussed how payment should be made – either at the end of the season, or on a per/hour basis – and will share that information with the town comptroller.
Advisory Board Member:  Our August efforts to find a replacement for Rich Filippelli yielded no results despite advertising in the papers, on our website and on flyers.  We will re-advertise asking for resumes to be in to the town clerk’s office by 10/7.  We will interview applicants at our 10/20 work session.
Meeting format:  The PLPD board discussed the current practice of having a public session followed by a work session on the first Thursday and another work session on the third Thursday.  Pat will check with the town to see what, if any, the requirements are.
