MA 02649 FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Town Hall February 25 , 1988 Present: Edward Dolan, Carl Heller, Joyce Howell Joseph Murphy, Executive Secretary Vern Polka, Town Accountant The Finance Committee meeting commenced at 7 p.m. There was no quorum however, the Chairman decided to proceed with review of the budgets. Decisions regarding these budgets would be made at a later date when a quorum was present. Town Clerk, Jane LaBute, joined the meeting to discuss the Town Clerk and Elections and Registrations FY89 budgets. The Town Clerk amended the Town Clerk budget at the meeting as follows: Salary $23,000 Clerical Salary 8,271 Wages 1,200 Expenses 3,600 $36,071 Jane noted that the figure for the clerical salary could change. The figure for the 20-hour position will have to be computed. The Elections and Registrations budget was presented as follows: Salary $1,375 Wages 3,790 Clerical Salary 9,037 .60 (20-hr. position) 15,815.80 (35-hr. position) Census 7,000 Jane presented this budget showing the 20-hr. clerical position and a 35-hr. - position. Chairman Heller inquired as to whether the $7,000 would be required for the census if the 35-hr. clerical position was approved. Jane noted that she could not eliminate the $4,850 wages from the census as people would still be needed to go door-to-door. The Town Clerk noted that the census takes up a great deal of time, the last census was 265 pages, and she is facing a population of 9,000. This census is required by General Law every year. Jane noted she is not really sure how many people will be required, and when the computer will be available to aid in the census , so she is not sure how much could be cut from this wage part of the census.
