MA 02649 CE COMMITTEE FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES Town Hall March 29, 1990 Present: Ed Dolan, Carole Dunivan, John Ferriday, Tony Gallo, Carl Heller, Vern Polka and Jim Vaccaro The Finance Committee convened at 7 p.m. The Chairman noted that the purpose of this meeting was to review budgets with departments and explain Finance Committee recommendations on department budgets. Departments will be given the opportunity to express their opinions. Selectmen, Carter, Hanson, Jocobson, and Lawrence were in attendance as well as the Executive Secretary. Ed noted that several changes had been recommended to the omnibus at the Finance Committee meeting of March 28 and they are as follows: + $1,000 to the Tax Collector's budget + $1,000 to the Town Clerk's budget + $1,460 to the Elections & Registrations + $580 to the Building Inspector's budget + $655 to the Board of Health's budget - $1,000 to the FinCom Reserve - $5,000 to the Pension Reserve Carole motioned that the Board of Health budget be discussed first as they were required at a BOH meeting also. This motion was seconded by John Ferriday. BOH member Greelish was protesting the cuts to salary for the BOH. Chairman Dolan stated that the Finance Committee is only recommending a 2% salary increase plus steps for all employees and in essence what the BOH is requesting is a sixth step to the PAP. George Costa felt that the salaries for both the agent and the assistant agent were unacceptable and that these individuals deserved more, and he further requested that the committee recommend an additional $1,600 in salaries. Chairman Dolan again noted that these positions were not following the PAP guidelines and were requesting the committee to authorize a 6th step on the scale which does not exist. Costa insisted that it was not a step. The Finance Committee agreed that if additional monies were needed for the agent and assistant the BOH should find the money in their own salary account. Pam Davis of the Assessors discussed her budget. Pam questioned the reduction of $6,131 in wages. Ed noted that the Assessors had been illegally using wage money to pay for a permanent part-time position. At an earlier meeting he requested that Pam submit an article for the position as it was really a permanent position and should not be funded out of a wage account.
