The council also voted to approve a contract with the DPW Marlborough Public Works Equipment Operators Association (MWPEOA).

The MWPEOA contract will cost the city $52,725.22 for one year. The money is a one time stipend, rather than dealing with the calculations for retroactive pay. The contract itself does not have many changes, according to officials, and would go into effect retroactively to Jan. 1.
