Page 4 read that the Board of Selectmen would hold the debt exclusion question, it should have read the debt exclusion election, until the regular town election. There also were three changes in the document, where it read the special town meeting being changed to the night of the annual town meeting. It should have read the special town meeting in March being changed to the special town meeting the night of the annual town meeting. Members noted these corrections and voted unanimously 7-0 to accept the minutes of February 18th and February 19th. Tony Gallo, Chairman, indicated that there were two requests to tranfer money from the Reserve Fund into certain departments. One request was from the Treasurer. They reqested that $312. 30 be transferred into the Treasurer's Salary and Wages to correct the return mail problem. There is 150 to 200 changes that need to be made in the computer. The problem was that the tax rate was being set so late. The second request was from the Town Clerk. She requested the transfer of $1,000 to the Town Clerk Wage Account. She requested an additional person be hired throughout the month of March for sticker sales, shellfish licensing and data entry. Ed Baker motioned to transfer the money from the Reserve Fund into Anne Shaw's expense account in the sum of $312. 30. Deidre Greelish seconded the motion. All members were opposed, 7-0. Dan Goggin suggested that Ed Baker, the liaison to the Town Clerk review the situation with Jane LaBute, and get back to the Committee as to what he feels they should recommend. The problem is that there is an employee who is out of work on leave and is still being paid, so there is no extra money to hire someone else to do some of the work that the office is getting behind on. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Al Polsi discussed some of the questions the members had pending last meeting regarding the departments that he is liaison to. Mr. Polsi handed a copy of a memorandum from Greg Taylor to the members. The memo was written to Mr. Polsi and Mr. Harrington regarding the estimated town trash pickup program cost. Mr. Taylor
