Catherine will draft language for review at the next meeting. The Commission's <br />recommendation would then be forwarded to the Selectmen for approval, <br />The Commission discussed whether plot owners should be notified if items are removed but <br />agreed that this would be too burdensome, DPW will store items for a short period of time so a <br />plow owner can ask for them to be returned. <br />Plot Sales and Account Balance <br />There is approximately $84,000 reserved for future capital expenses. Annual plot sales had <br />been averaging $30,000 but in FY15, sales dropped by almost 50% to just over $17,000. <br />FY17 Budget <br />Catherine reviewed typical expenditures for a year: approximately $4,000 spent for normal <br />expenses such as electricity, fertilizer, flags, and signs; approximately $6,800 spent for <br />equipment and plants; and approximately $4,200 spent for miscellaneous expenses such as flag <br />pole roping, irrigation repairs, and similar. She asked if the Commission in light of the slower <br />sales wanted to decrease the budget request. The Commission voted unanimously to maintain <br />the budget at $15,000 for FY17. <br />FY16 Projects <br />The Commission discussed improvements for the current fiscal year. These improvements <br />included additional light posts, additional trash receptacles, concrete pads for existing and new <br />trash receptacles, and additional plantings around the flag poles with irrigation.
