Dan Goggin MOTIONED to accept the memos, which Deirdre drafted to the Board of Selectmen for tonight's meeting. The memos consisted of a By-law change request not being necessary; inviting Wampanoag Tribal Council to assist in Eco-Tourism; contacting the Water District re: Stonedust instead of grass; privatization of cleaning of town buildings; and lastly a reminder of the March 2nd meeting in which temporary borrowing, lifeguards and the people who are authorized to sign Middle School warrants, were discussed. John Ferriday seconded the Motion to accept the drafts and members voted 5-0, Deirdre abstaining. The originals were signed and delivered. Dan Goggin and Ed Baker wished to speak about the town's revenues. Roger Dunivan stated that he wished to save the revenues discussion for a later meeting. Deirdre suggested scheduling a meeting with the executive secretary and getting an updated printout from the town accountant, to see exactly the amount of revenue the committee will work with. SCHOOL BUDGET John Ferriday mentioned that he would be happy with a figure somewhere between level funding and an additional '$400,000. Some members agreed that $4,000 per student seems reasonable. There was a question as to whether Dr. DeMourals or Tom Fudala's number of students were more accurate. There seems to be a discrepancy of approximately 30 students who will be entering kindergarten. Dr. DeMoura lists the amount of children as 182 . Mr. Fudala lists the amount as 152 children. Deirdre asked Mr. Baker how it would impact his decision if the committee used Mr. Fudala's figures or Dr. DeMourals. Mr. Baker stated that he was willing to give them a number based on the following formula (kindergarten through eighth grade students projected for FY94 x $4,185 - State and Federal aid to the school department + $100,000) . Ms. Greelish asked Mr. Baker where the $100,000 came from? He stated that it was listed as the high school transportation figure. Mr. Gallo
