LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen voted Monday to accept and sign two three-year contracts with the unions that represent the Police Department, the Public Works Department and sewer treatment plant workers, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said Tuesday.

Union workers have been operating under contracts that expired on June 30, 2012.

The new three-year contracts have a start date of July 1, 2012, and will expire June 30, 2015, Flagg said.

Workers will not get a raise or retroactive pay for the current year. In each of the second and third years of the contract, workers will receive a 1.5 percent increase, she said.

The insurance stayed the same, she said.

The town pays 92 percent of the Maine Municipal Association’s Point of Service C Plan and the workers pay 8 percent. The town has Northern New England Benefit Trust through the Teamsters. The difference in the two insurance plans is paid in full by the employee, she said.

In other business, selectmen agreed to put the town-owned 2 Gagnon St. apartment building out for bid for demolition. Any asbestos has been removed from the building, Flagg said. The town foreclosed on the vacant property several years ago for $4,071.59 in unpaid taxes and sewer fees.

The money for the demolition will come out of the $25,000 voters agreed to transfer from the undesignated fund to demolish the building.

Flagg said she also informed selectmen that she personally thanked a representative of Verso Paper Corp., Mike Luciano, for the company stepping up to pay for the liability insurance for the Memorial Day Parade.
