Special Town Meeting - Monday Khy 13/68 <br /> Question came from tha fear at this point askin for exq j ion <br /> of the terms "take from available funds" and "raise and appropriate. " <br /> Chairoan Benway of the Finance Committee rose to explain that "one <br /> shot" items are usually taken from available funds; whereas "repeat" <br /> articlep which in all probability would be coming up year after year <br /> axe Usaally voted to raise and appropriate. <br /> Homeyer: May we ask if the maps are completed yet? They are sup- <br /> posed to have been completed. , We have , spent $YS,000.00 for these <br /> maps. <br /> Assessor Hicks: It is true they are supposed to honie been ccczqpleted <br /> the first of January. They are not yet complete. A penalty clause <br /> is in the contraUg a sum of money for each month can lesion is de- <br /> layed after completion date. hi 1,000.00 is an account to be <br /> set u for future up-dating. It is foolish to spend $25,000.00 and <br /> not have something for keeping them up to date. We have asked for <br /> $1,000.00; it might be more or less tha,n we need. We have set <br /> this hum to have funds tc cover. <br /> Drury: Are we penalizing $300.00 a month? If so, we should have <br /> $1500.00 penalty money coming. <br /> Hicks: We have been told to hold back on payment of bills until the <br /> maps are finished, and then see. <br /> Drik , : Can the Assessors extend the contract withcut penealty if <br /> they" See fit, <br /> ' Hicks: No, got exactly that. it says we can extend. We haven't <br /> made a move for penalities yet. . . . . . (speaks of holding out on <br /> payments) <br /> Drury: In other words - you may not penalize? <br /> Qs. Probably not. <br /> From the floor: (Mrs. Larsen?) inq wires if what was voted Ica <br /> I <br /> Dean paid in on the j25,000.00. States this money was to have <br /> been paid in installments. She questions why we Leed this $1000.00 <br /> if us axe to have mpney coming bick. <br /> rs: We sti Assesso ll have $8500.00 we have not paid in. We are MIA <br /> ing this back on advice of counsel. (Hicks here explains again that <br /> the money asked for is for future yeams, and that it is neededVo <br /> establish a fund for continuous updating. <br /> Mabrator: These and could not be transferred, and are for a <br /> definite purpose? <br /> Answer: Yes. <br /> Notion was made and seconded the sum of $1,000.00 be raised and <br /> appropriated - and it was so truani mows ly V-Oted.' <br />
