<br />recommendations: funds available from free cash, $667,000; $60,069 from the MCAT fund; recreation
<br />10141 is going to be coming out of their enterprise funds, with a total of $738,014. The CIP Committee
<br />voted unanimously to recommend, with Town Manager approving the recommendation. Chris Avis

<br />• Finance Committee Report— May 2015.
<br />Discussion followed regarding the possible options for preparation of the May 2015 Finance
<br />Committee Report. One idea suggested was to divide the warrant articles evenly among the Finance
<br />Committee members for preparation of the report. A second suggestion was to have the Finance
<br />Committee members be responsible for their liaison -assigned departmental reports. The individual
<br />reports would be fine-tuned for the final Finance Committee report. Mr. Gasior offered his assistance
<br />to the Finance Committee members in the preparation of their reports. The Committee decided that
<br />the liaison representatives will be responsible for reporting on their assigned departments. Their
<br />reports will appear at the end of each warrant article, thus keeping the Town Meeting Booklet into one
<br />document.
