RUMFORD - Selectmen heaped more responsibilities and work on police Chief Stacy Carter at Thursday night's meeting.
They also agreed to allow the fire department to operate at a minimum staffing of three full-time union firefighters at all times until the end of the fiscal year on June 30, after which, it can be renegotiated, Town Manager Len Greaney said.
Previously, the board only allowed two full-time firefighters to run the station if the third was out sick or on vacation.
Following an executive session, selectmen voted 3-1 to hire Carter as interim public safety director and increased his salary by $13,000 annually.

LOWER ALLOWAYS CREEK TWP. - In a bitterly controversial decision, the township committee has created a public safety director job here to essentially put the entire police department under the microscope.
After nearly an hour of back-and-forth debate at a township meeting Tuesday night, the ordinance was adopted by a 3-2 vote that held fast to party lines.
Mayor Ellen Pompper (R), Committeewoman Donna Rhubart (R) and Committeeman George Stiles (R) carried the decision while committeemen Sherman Wood (D) and Richard Venable (D) voted against it.Proponents of the post say the director will objectively evaluate the department and at some point in the future be able to choose the next chief, a position which has remained vacant since the retirement of Lee Peterson last November.

ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION: DeKalb public safety chief urged
A review of DeKalb County operations says the 911 dispatch system is “severely inadequate,” that “potentially large amounts of the county’s technology investments have been wasted” and that the county needs a new public safety director position.
The report, prepared for incoming Chief Executive Officer Burrell Ellis, notes the county’s projected budget shortfall of $40 million next year.
It says there are “numerous” areas that could be more efficient and questions whether departments are held accountable when they overspend their budgets.
