George Costa of the Board of Health was present and asked to address the committee. He stated that the Board of Health has agreed to abide by the budget recommended by the Finance Committee. However, he would like to transfer $1,500 from the Lagoon Maintenance into his management salaries for his agents for FY91. He noted that this would still give him enough money to maintain the lagoons and he may even be able to return a small amount of money. He stressed that the bottom line of his budget would not change. Ed Dolan emphasized that the committee had only recommended a 29 increase in salaries for town employees and this would give the agent and the assistnat agent more than a 29 raise. Costa stressed that he is taking this $1,500 from his expenses and funding the additional raise from his own budget. Carl Heller motioned that the Finance Committee approve this requested transfer and Jim Vaccaro seconded. The motion carried with one opposing vote by Dolan. This would make BOH salaries/wages $97,789 and expenses $48,392 for a total budget of $146,181. Chairman Dolan asked the committee if they wished to reconsider their recommendation of the Town Planner's budget. It was noted that no guideline had been received from the Selectmen regarding this. John expressed his concern that perhaps the committee had not truly considered all the ramifications of the budget. Vaccaro noted that there are presently three departments with assistants. The Town Planner is the one department that does not provide direct service or generate revenue. He further noted that Fudala was. never clear about the impact of a cut to his department. There was no motion to reconsider this budget.
