categories for further breakdown that could be presented to the BOA, Board of <br /> Selectmen and the Finance Committee for their review and comments. <br /> r <br /> Jason Streebel distributed copies of an Estimated Fiscal Year 2010 Tax Fate <br /> Breakdown report that he worked on very closely with Dawn Barry, David Leary and <br /> Marilyn Farren. The report presents varying options for breakdown of the tax numbers. <br /> Jason Streebel explained that part of the difficulty in getting an accurate picture for each <br /> department or category is that there is a general fund from which monies are allocated <br /> as needed, but is not allocated per se to the various departments or categories. It is <br /> ' therefore not possible to define the enact amount of money that will go to Education, Fire <br /> Dept, Police Dept., etc. <br /> Jason Streebel attached a copy of a current tai bill to the report, which contains <br /> information required by law, and clearly illustrates that there is no room for additidnal <br /> information on the form itself. . <br /> Joyce M stated that her only concern was that the school might feel that the Town <br /> is trying to illustrate that the Education category appears to be receiving the largest <br /> amount of the town's budget. .Joyce Mason added that distribution of the information <br /> has benefit, but perhaps not on the tax bill. <br /> Jason Streebel suggested doing an insert in the tax bill - ' here Your Tac honey Goes" <br /> - or perhaps a handout at Town Meeting. Gregg Fraser suggested adding a statement <br /> on the tax bill with information as to where to find further breakdown on where the to <br /> monies go, i.e., the torn website, Gregg Fraser added that he personally favored the <br /> overall percentage breakdown of the tax rate by Town function. <br /> After further discussion, the group agreed that ars insert with the tax bill was the best <br /> idea. Jason Streebel estimated that it would involve approximately one worts-day to <br /> prepare the insert. <br /> Gregg Fraser made a motion to recommend to the Finance Committee and the Board of <br /> Selectmen that an insert be included in the tax bill that would provide an estimated <br /> breakdown of the tax rate by Town function. Sheldon Holzer seconded the motion. The <br /> motion was unanimously approved. <br /> Gregg Fraser made a motion that the BOA go into Executive session, to reconvene to <br /> Public Session, in order to comply with the provisions of General Lav 59, Section 60 to <br /> discuss abatement applications, the contents of which are not public recon. Sheldon <br /> Hofer seconded the motion. All approved. <br /> The Board re-convened the Public Session at 6:38 PM. _ <br /> Roll Call: Paul Andrews, yes; Sheldon Holzer, yes; Gregg Fraser, yes. <br /> Sheldon Holzer made a motion to ratify all the votes taken in the Executive session. <br /> Gregg Fraser seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. <br /> Gregg Fraser made a motion to extend the filing deadline for charitable exemptions ptions from <br /> March 1, 2010 until April,1, 2010.
