Carroll Budget Committee
Minutes of September 1, 2011

These minutes should be reviewed in conjunction with the subsequent meeting minutes, at which a review is conducted and any approved amendments recorded.
Members present: Bill Vecchio, Linda Dowling, Joan Karpf, Karen Moran, Sue Kraabel. Members not present: Dan Walker, Mark Catalano
• The meeting was called to order at 7:30. A quorum was confirmed and the meeting began.
• The Budget Committee has been asked to present its budget to the Select Board on September 12, 2011.
• The three accounts in which the Budget Committee expenses are recorded are:
Budget Expense
01-4150.10-113 FA Budget Committee Clerk Salary$ 1 $ -0-
01-4150.10-806 FA Budget Committee Expense $ 50 $ 40
01-4150.10-807 FA Budget Training/Mileage $200 $200
Total Budget 2011 $251 $240
• The $1 is maintaining the line item for any work that may be allocated by town hall employees. $40 for a box of paper (still to be posted), and $200 spent for five members to attend a budget seminar (to be held September 22, 2011).
• Regarding the recommendation for 2012, discussion took place regarding the request by the Select Board for a reduction of current budgets by 25%. Discussion took place regarding the need for the town’s budget to reflect the cost of efficiently operating the town.
• The $1 place holder for the 01-4150.10-113 was agreed to remain, in case the town hall employees incur time that may/should be allocated to Budget Committee work. The 01-4150.10-806 was discussed as needing funds to cover the cost of paper and ink for the printer, which is a color printer. Given that two members of the current Budget Committee had to pay for their own registration to attend the seminar, it was agreed that the 2012 budget for Training should reflect the current year cost of $40 per attendee for all seven members of the committee, thus 01-4150.10-807 FA Budget Training was recommended to be $280. Therefore:
Budget
01-4150.10-113 FA Budget Committee Clerk Salary$ 1
01-4150.10-806 FA Budget Committee Expense $ 69
01-4150.10-807 FA Budget Training/Mileage $280
Total Budget 2012 $350
Joan motioned to accept the overall $350 budget recommendation, Karen seconded, all were in favor.
• Chair asked if the minutes of the August meeting should be reviewed, Karen noted it had not been in the notice. August and September minutes will be reviewed at the October meeting.
• With nothing further, Karen motioned to adjourn, Linda seconded. Chair closed the meeting at 7:40pm.
• The next meeting will be held on Wednesday October 19, 2011 at 7:00pm 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.
