Carroll Budget Committee
Minutes of March 26, 2007


In attendance: Tom Gately, Karen Moran, Bonnie Moroney, Carmine Fabrizio, Lori Hogan. Absent: Ken Mills, Ben Jellison

The Vice-chair, Tom Gately, called the meeting to order at 6:45. Karen nominated Tom to become Chair of the Committee, Bonnie seconded, all were in favor.

Bonnie then nominated Karen to continue as Secretary, Carmine seconded, all were in favor.

Karen then nominated Lori Hogan to Vice Chair position, Carmine seconded, all were in favor.

Tom made a motion that the Budget Committee acknowledge the dedication and time of the Chair, Linda Dowling, as well as the efforts made by Pam Walsh, a member-at-large, both of whom resigned from the Committee. Karen seconded the motion, and all of the Committee members expressed sincere thanks to both members. Tom noted that he would like to send a letter of thanks to both; all agreed that would be a polite sign of our gratitude.

Discussion ensued about the night on which the regular monthly meetings will be held. Karen will check with all members, as well as the Town Hall to determine the day least likely to conflict with other scheduled meetings.

Carmine informed the group that he will be unavailable from May 4 through May 12.

Lori reminded the group that during the last quarter of the calendar year, she may have scheduling conflicts.

Karen provided Bonnie with the benefit accounts which included the benefits for a second firefighter, had that warrant article passed. The LGC and DRA informed the Budget Committee that the line items’ increases were the most reasonable and compliant manner in which to incorporate the anticipated benefits. Because the warrant article did not pass, the following amounts included in the following accounts will not be used for the purpose intended:
01-4155.10-200 Retirement $4,996.20
01-4155.10-202 Medicare 478.50
01-4155.10-300 Employee Insurance 15,388.42
01-4155.10-301 Unemployment Comp 6.00
subtotal benefits: 20,869.12
In addition, the warrant article for the Highway Department truck included $10,500 from the “Transfer Station Budget”. This warrant article did not pass, so the $10,500 within the Transfer Station Budget is also available. These accounts and amounts were brought to the attention of the group as the Select Board determines the manner in which the Police Station and the corresponding health hazards must be addressed.

At 6:50 Tom adjourned the meeting and the group went to the Town Clerk’s office where each took an Oath of Office.

Respectfully submitted,
Karen Moran, Secretary
