From the minutes
“Ms. Manugian moved to grant the Juneteenth holiday, that all town buildings would be closed on June 20, 2022 and employees paid for this day. Mr. Cunningham seconded the motion. Ms. Pine said that the Commonwealth had made it a holiday and was glad they were also. Mr. Degen said he could not support this adding the unions had had their agreements ratified and creating holiday pay for this day without opening the contracts was not something he could support adding he fully supported the closure of the buildings in recognition of the Juneteenth Holiday. He suggested that they eliminate the last sentence of the press release and vote separately on the holiday pay. Ms. Pine said that they had discussed this and thought some things carried over from previous negotiation years adding this would be no different. Mr. Cunningham said he couldn't see this being difficult to add this to the contracts. Mr. Haddad said that if this was voted that evening, they would reach out to the unions and add side letters to the contracts. Mr. Degen said that he didn't agree with the process. The motion carried 4-1 with Mr. Degen opposed..” (Motion: Manugian, second: Cunningham)
