MA 02649 FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Town Hall February 14, 1989 Present: Edward Dolan, John Ferriday, Carl Heller and William Towner The Finance Committee convened at 7 p.m. Chairman Heller informed the members that he had been advised that the cost per child to attend Falmouth High School is $4,317.19. Theere are 170 children from Mashpee attending the school. This year the tuition cost will be $733,922.30. He noted that this figure did not include the cost of transportation which was Mashpee's responsibility. 1{e noted that as of October 1988 Mashpee children made up 12.7% of the school enrollment. ® The Finance Committee proceeded to review two Requests for Transfer from the Reserve Fund. The first request was submitted by the Town Accountant Diane Rommelmeyer for $804.00 to be transferred to the Police Management Salary Account. The present balance in this account is $34,660.58. The funds have been requested to pay for the salaries of the Police Chief and Deputy through the fiscal year. For some unforseen reason the amount of the original appropriation was insufficient by $804.00. The Finance Committee voted and unanimously approved. The second request that was reviewed was submitted by the Treasurer Tax Collector in the amount of $143.01. She asked to have this amount transferred to the Clerical Salaries account. Insufficient funds were appropriated for this year and she needs $143.01 additional to fund the position. The Finance Committee unanimously approved. The Finance Committee next turned to the task of reviewing the FY90 budgets. Members expressed some concern regarding the 53rd week and how it was to be included in the salaries and wages. The 53rd week was supposed to be funded by an article but what about the wages? The Committee started with the General Government section of the budgets for their review. Assessors — Members expressed concern about the $82,000 in expenses, $5,000 in mapping and $50,000 in legal and the $3,000 in supplies. Also Board Secretary wages should be in the Personnel Budget and members questioned what "district needs" were in the wage account.
