Sept. 15, 2010
Members present: Tom Gately, Jim Covey, Lori Hogan, Carmine Fabrizio and Bonnie Moroney
Excused: Becky Pike and Mike Shea
Guests: Nancy Metigay, Linda Dowling, Al Strasser and Devin Hogan
Meeting called to order at 7:05 by Lori
Roll call taken for members, all present but Becky and Mike.
Tom motioned to approve the Aug. 18th minutes, Carmine second and it passed.
Lori read the statement, ““This meeting is being taped by a private citizen. It is not done under the auspices of the town and is not an official record of the Town.”
Old business:
Surveys – We have the tallies loaded into the computer and now we need to get comments down to one word, so they will flow on a spread sheet. We will try to target for the 4th of Oct to get them to the Select board to go over the results. Carmine asked what percentage that we had gotten back and it was said about 13%.
A work meeting was set up for Sept 22nd at 6:30PM to complete the survey questions.
Bonnie went over the questions that had been asked at the Aug. meeting:
Mike asked about the question that Joan had asked about the $30,000. on the water dept.
Maryclare attached the information but we did not go over it as Joan was not present, we will address this at the Oct. meeting.
Bonnie to also ask Maryclare to 2009 revenue and full PNL at the end of the year.
This report was given to the members, but Lori, said we needed the final 2009 budget so that we can see the final expenditures, etc.
If we are aware of any pending audit adjustments
Not aware of any pending audit adjustments.
When or why we are paying for person cell phones?
Personal? We do not pay.
I was asked to find out about the resurfacing, culvert and sidewalk repair money that is in the budget.
Resurfacing and sidewalks are scheduled to start next week with central paving. Culverts are awaiting state bid price and will work on those.
It was mentioned that under the Warrant Articles that there are a couple that seem to be doubled. One is Casa of NH, it’s under 01-4920.10-022 and also 01-4920.10-029 and also Tri County Cap is 01-4920.00-013 and 01-4920-10026
Maryclare said that would be getting rid of those extra ones.
Bonnie asked Maryclare if it would be possible to put the currant budget figures into the Actual & Anticipated Revenue report.
She said she believed it is but she would have to talk with Anna @ BMSI as the budget has already been merged.
We addressed the 2011 budget process, Bonnie said that she would put the letters together and make up a list of dates. The dates that were suggested were. Oct. 20, 27, November 3, 10, 17, December 1, 8, 15. Bonnie said she would send out the schedule to the members when she puts it together, and get the notices out to the dept. and committees.
It was discusses the type of format we wanted to use with the presentation to the public this year, and it was decided that the two night public meeting was much better then trying to do it all in one night.
Lori said that last year we did the wage survey and some work on the health care, but this year we had done the survey, so that might be the project for this year.
Jim said we are getting a grasp of what the voters want from the surveys. He asked if the select board had asked the dept, for cuts in their budgets. Bonnie said that they had been asked to try not to increase the budget. He said that the public wanted a 5 to 35% cut. Lori reminded him that the surveys were really split down the middle in most of the articles, and that is was 50% or less that felt that way.
Al Strasser asked to speak to the group as the last meeting had been cancelled. Bonnie reminded him that the meeting had not been cancelled and that he had been on the agenda, but had sent his information with Jim to present to the committee. Lori said that he could have the floor, to go over his information.
Jim motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:07PM, Carmine second and it was passed. The next meeting will be Oct 20th at 7PM.
