required by State and Conservation was set up by town articles, but that the Waterways Commission is only an advisory committee. Deidre Greelish questioned Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Hommyer about the consolidation of Shellfish and Harbormaster. Dan Hommyer did not see why it wouldn't work as long as they could find one man truly qualified to do both jobs. He did not think the Herring Warden should be considered because he is responsible for uninhabitable waters. He did feel that this one person responsible for Shellfish and Harbormaster would need the help of 3 assistants as well as a part time secretary. Lew Schwartz felt that we should test market the concept. Deidre Greelish also agreed that this was a good idea before actually changing all of the by-laws. Dan Goggin suggested that we take Mr. Schwartz's memo under advisement. Lew Schwartz just wanted to make known that they needed the Finance Committee's support. MINUTES It was agreed that the minutes of February 4th and February 6th would be voted on February 13 , 1992. BUDGET - D.P.W. Al Polsi stated that he discussed a possible reduction in the D.P.W. 's budget with Greg Taylor. The discussion was about dropping 5% from their expense amounts totalling $36,345.00. Their level service budget request was for $726,914 and they considered dropping it to $690,569. Al Polsi also handed out a packet to members describing the department's job descriptions. He asked that the members review it for Thursday, February 13th. Tony stated that we should wait to see Kevin Harrington's budget on Friday. He felt that Mr. Harrington tried to take everybody and give them enough money to avoid layoffs. He did not put any money aside for worst case scenario. What Mr. Harrington came out with was that the town was short approximately $60,000. Meeting Adjourned at 10:00 P.M. Next meeting is on Thursday, February 13, 1992.
