Finance Committee <br />Minutes <br />February 1, 2024 <br /> <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL TOPICS <br />Patty Deboer asked if there were any questions regarding the school’s budget. She said that she appreciates the <br />chain of command through the Town Manager but, that it’s also helpful to contact the School Department <br />directly with any questions. <br />Ms. Deboer went on to state the she believes there are either 11 or 13 Towns that are a part of Cape Cod Tech <br />and that she has found that their budget is not scrutinized and they are never asked to cut. She said that she <br />has great respect for their Superintendent and has watched him present with little to no questions being asked. <br />She said that she believes that the Finance Committees that are involved from those 11 or 13 Towns really look <br />at Cape Cod Tech’s budget. <br />Ms. Deboer directed the Committee to page 55 of the school budget. She stated that it appears as though she <br />has a 10.8% salary increase. She said that if they were to look at the 2023 actuals and the 2024 budget, the <br />numbers are static. Also, in the 2024 revised budget it indicates the figure of $93,295 includes a lot of <br />unknowns in Unit A contracts as it is prepared well in advance due to deadlines. FY25 represents monies into <br />various people. <br />She stated that in FY20 her increase was 2 ½%, in FY21 it was 2%, FY22 2.25%, FY23 3% and FY24 it was 5% <br />based on the School Committee giving her an exemplary rating for the first time. <br />It was explained that the 10.8% increase is a placeholder for unknown contract negotiation settlements and that <br />the actuals will be able to be seen at the end of FY24. <br /> <br />NEXT MEETING <br />Thursday, February 15, 2024 <br />6:30pm <br />Waquoit Meeting Room <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />A motion was made by Mr. Weiner to adjourn. <br />Motion seconded by Mr. McKelvey. <br />Motion passed by unanimous consent. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:50pm. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Susan Donovan <br />Board Secretary <br />4 <br /> <br />
