Any member of the Call Fire Department or Special Police Force
in active service who suffers an injury, illness or disability connected
with the performance of his/her duties as a member of said Department
or Force, if such injury, illness, or disability renders that member
temporarily unable to work, shall receive expenses and damages, including
loss of pay, from the Town during the period of such injury, illness
or disability.
Any and all powers, proceedings, determinations, recommendations,
and findings under this bylaw shall be exercised and performed by
a majority of the members of a panel consisting of the Town Manager,
the Town Counsel, and a physician designated in writing by the Select
Board. The panel is directed and empowered, if the injury, illness
or disability be self-inflicted or self-imposed or if there be any
other good reasons or cause, to deny a member of such department or
force sick relief under this bylaw.
