8. Discussion of Unemployment request of Select Board Allen Wooley.

a) The Town Select Board is willing to go half and half with SLA providing
they are willing to pick up the unemployment which the town has been
paying. The overall cost has been $30,000.00 a little over $10,000.00
for each milfoil inspector in wages and over $11,000.00 for
unemployment; the state has granted $10,000.00 and town and SLA have
each granted somewhat over $5,000.00 (town $7,500.00 a year in the past)
and this paid wages, but not the unemployment, which the Town has paid.

b) If SLA does not want to pay the unemployment, then it has 3 options:

i) Have the town to put the job out to lowest bid (several problems: state
may still unemployment with court costs; lowest bid may be higher then
$20,000.00; any coverage would be SLA’s responsibility).

ii) Hire people who would not collect unemployment (those in school or
college)

iii) Town writes SLA a check for same amount as the state grant, and SLA
can also petition for a grant from the town (Charleston gives Echo
Assoc. ca. $800.00).
