Ms. Sauchuk reported we received applications but none had a CT E-1 license. Since the Town
has an individual on staff with a CT E-1 license a CT E-1 license is preferred but not required and
a CT E-2 would be accepted. A CDL license is needed. The position remains at the same pay
level. Ms. Patterson asked if this is a union position? Ms. Sauchuk stated it is.
Ms. Patterson felt on page 1, under item D. EXAMPLES OF ESSENTIAL DUTIES, item 14 should be
moved to page 2, item E, and rewritten as “ability to be a self-starter and take orders as
directed”
