5 <br /> (New Business, nt'd <br /> George-Schmidt clarified that the superintendent's budget presented to the school Committee. <br /> included an additional $148,000 over and above the Town Managers budget of$19,560,999. <br /> The request of the superintendent for an additional $148,000 was voted down by the School <br /> Committee. <br /> Mark Davini and Christopher Avis agreed that the School Committee should strive for a level <br /> funded budget, and not expect a 2% increase every year, and therefore did not agree with the <br /> Town Manager's 2% increase in the School budget for 2014. The $300,000 surplus in funds <br /> returned from the school to the Town in May of 2012 is included in the Torn Manger's 2014 <br /> School budget, therefore negating the notion of a level funded budget. <br /> Christopher Avis stated his opposition to raises in the teachers' salaries, based on the economic <br /> climate, and the freeze on raises in-muni ipalities across the state. Charles' Gasior responded that <br /> the school Committee is moving in.a direction they have never moved before. The Committee is <br /> going to be pert of the team cavilled the Town of Mashpee. They have made some great strides and <br /> commitments and this is not the time to say they are not doing their)ob. We have to pair t <br /> educate our kids, or else they are going off to other schools. <br /> Marry Davini agreed that the School Committee has come a long war in falling into line with the <br /> town's budget requests; this year they have used the Munis system;; their have approved the Town <br /> Manager's budget request; net year the school Committee will be held to the requirement for a <br /> level funded budget. <br /> Scott McGee summari ed his remarl s by saying that the new school Superintendent needs to <br /> figure out how to'keep our students in the Mashpee schools. Presently, there are 200 students <br /> leaving Mashpee daily by bus to attend other schools. Scott felt that the increase suggested by the <br /> Toon Manager was `generous' and that the recommended budget wound cover all contingencies <br /> including any possible increase in salaries that might be negotiated. <br /> David-Bloomfield, School Committee member, introduced himself to the Board, and commented on <br /> the student move from the Mashpee public schools. He commented that 0% of our school budget <br /> is in salaries. Sturgis-does not have unions, and dogs not have certification requirements. <br /> • <br /> Discussion/Vote on Town Manager's Recommended Budget <br /> iBoard of Selectmen/Office Of Town Manager: Approved - . <br /> - <br /> Maintenance of Public Properties: Approved 7-0. <br /> Building Inspections: Approved -1 (Chris Avis voted no <br /> - <br /> Police Department: Approved 6-1 (Chris Avis voted no <br /> Fire Department: Approved 6-1 (Chas Avis voted no) <br /> - School Dept.: Approved -8 (Chris Avis, Mark Davini, George Schmidt voted no <br /> - <br /> Library: Approv d -2 (Chris Avis, Mark Davini voted no) <br /> Charles Gasior stated that requests for explanations of negative votes by the Finance Committee <br /> members will be honored at the Town Meeting. <br /> ADDITIONAL TOPICS <br /> Special Town Meeting Warrant Articles <br /> The committee members voted ars follows on recommendation of the nine Special Town <br /> Meeting warrant articles: <br />
