Carroll Budget Committee
Minutes of August 17, 2011
Members present: Members present: Bill Vecchio, Joan Karpf, Sue Kraabel, Dan Walker. Member excused: Karen Moran. Members not present: Linda Dowling, Mark Catalano
The meeting was called to order at 7:02. A quorum was confirmed and the meeting began.
A Joan motioned to approve the minutes as submitted. Sue seconded. All approved.
A discussion of the Rules of Respect took place. As rewritten by Sue and as discussed in the previous meeting the title was changed to “Carroll Budget Meeting Policy”. Bill suggested to remove the wording “…and remember everyone is not wrong all of the time”. Joan motioned to accept the policy as corrected. Dan seconded. All were in favor. Sue will amend the document.
The September 24th LGC workshop was discussed. The fee is $40 per person. The Budget Committee has a $200 budget for training or five attendees. Sue will decline as she attended last year. Dan has registered and will pay his own way. The chair will ask Maryclare to enroll the remaining five budget committee members.
To date department budget line item descriptions have been submitted by police department, fire department, transfer station, water and highway.
A discussion took place regarding the Comstar line item in the fire department budget. Items discussed were revenue, billing and recordkeeping.
Bill updated the committee on the energy audit applications to North Country Council and TRC. Bill will be meeting with a representative of Public Service of N.H. (PSNH) on Wednesday, August 24 to review opportunities. A lengthy discussion took place regarding municipal street lights. The town is billed for 127 street and area lights. Bill will look into how the charges are applied by PSNH and their policy on street light reduction.
A discussion on meeting with department heads took place. Dan suggested that the budget committee could attend select board meetings when departments present their budgets. This does not preclude them from attending subsequent budget committee meetings after the select board has submitted their budget to the committee. Joan offered information on the Wages and Salaries Report as posted on the LGC site to then compare Twin Mountain to similar towns in N.H.
Under old business a revue of the planning board revenues was discussed. The only revenue found in the board’s special revenue fund is building permits, certificates of occupancy and building inspections. The committee is reimbursed for ads placed in local newspapers.
Joan distributed information on small municipal water systems. Also distributed was the town’s 2010 report. A lengthy discussion took place regarding the disparity of revenues and expenses amounts on the report and how is the town recovering the revenue shortfall – what does the water department owe the general fund and is it recovered. The ultimate goal of a water department is to be self-sufficient.
With nothing further, Bill motioned to adjourn, Dan seconded. Chair closed the meeting at 8:54pm.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday September 21, 2011 at 7pm at the town hall. These minutes will be reviewed, and any amendment recommended and approved will be so documented in the minutes of that meeting.
Respectfully submitted:
Bill Vecchio, chair
