DPW—Total <br /> Mr. Avis questioned the increase in the DPW Total. It appears most of it is in the <br /> expense line. Mr. Collins said he would give them a breakdown that gets into a little <br /> more detail. He will give them a breakdown on line 47 and 48 —DPW Expense and <br /> Building and Grounds (Mr. Avis removed the hold) <br /> Line 50—Street Lighting Expense <br /> Mr. Klenert spoke about how dark his street is (Lowell Road). He felt the town should <br /> spend a little more on the safety of the people. Mr. Avis noted he was on the Street Light <br /> Committee and would bring this up at the next street light committee meeting. Mr. <br /> Collins said the street light committee will address any request or respond to any <br /> questions as to whether or not it is feasible. It was noted the decrease in the budget was <br /> due to the savings using LED lighting. (Mr. Klenert removed the hold) <br /> Total -Health <br /> Mr, Collins stated we are obligated to pay an assistant health agent for overtime so that is <br /> one of the adjustments under salaries.
