r ARTICLE 5 To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and transfer from available funds $33,000 to the Fire & Rescue Salary and Wage Account, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Fire Department Explanation: This amount of money is required to fund the remainder of the new collective bargaining agreement partially funded at the October 1998 Annual Town Meeting. Recommendation; The Finance Committee recommends approval. ARTICLE 6 To see if the Town will vote to appropriate $193,444 for the purchase of a new fire pumper truck, including the payment of all costs incidental and related thereto, to determine whether this appropriation shall be raised by borrowing or otherwise, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Board of Selectmen Explanation: This action authorizes borrowing for the purchase of a new fire engine previously approved under the 1998 Annual Town Meeting Capital Improvement Budget. Recommendation; The Finance Committee recommends approval. ARTICLE 7 To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and transfer $11,000 from the Waterways Improvement Account to the Waquoit Popponesset Account, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by Waterways Commission Explanation: This amount of money is required to pay the County Dredge for material dredged during the February March 1999 maintenance dredging in the Popponesset Bay Area. When the Harbormaster Department and Waterways Commission were planning the maintenance, we estimated that the amount of material to be dredged would not exceed the funds remaining from the sum voted at Town Meeting in October 1996. The before-dredge survey on 17 February 1999 shows that we have underestimated the funds needed by $11,000. The money is available to be transferred from the Waterways Improvement Fund. Recommendation; The Finance Committee recommends approval. 3
