i <br /> Article 14 continues <br /> Mr Garland: If I may respond to Mr. Swart, in Section 1 , the key is <br /> unused sick leave to pay to employees pursuant to Collective Bargaining <br /> agreement . We do have agreements at the present time. I am sure you have I <br /> read of the problems that exist for unfunded liabilities -in the State. <br /> What we are trying to do is to get a handle on this so , someday this Town <br /> is not hit with providing a billion dollars for unfunded liabilities. <br /> It is like a Savings bank; you put in 1 dollar and hopefully you will get <br /> 2. <br /> Mr Re: What % of the taxes are involved? <br /> hIr Garland: 1 percent in any one year. <br /> Mr Re: Does that mean 1 percent of the 5 million dollars? <br /> Mr Garland: Not to exceed ; 1 percent of the taxes for the previous <br /> year. <br /> Mr Re: What was raised in the previous year? <br /> Mr Garland: Approximately 3.8 million. <br /> Mr Re: 1 percent of 3.8 million; approximately $35,000.00. <br /> s•nf4l. <br /> Moderator: We will vote on Article 14 as moved and seconded. All those in <br /> favor aye; opposed no <br /> Motion is not passed. <br /> it <br /> Moderator read Article 15 i <br /> ARTICLE 15. To see if the Town will vote to accept �t <br /> the provisions of Section 53E of Chapter 44 of The Mas- 4!! <br /> sachusetts General Laws as adopted by Chapter 339 of <br /> the Acts of 1981. <br /> Submitted by I <br /> The Board of Selectmen ,j l <br /> Kr Garland: I move Article 15 as printed. <br /> Motion seconded. <br /> Mr Garland: I defer to Joseph Murphy. Mr Murphy: This Article, if 1 <br /> accepted., would allow the Town greater accountability for some of i <br /> the receipts for such things as Beach Permits. At this time when you pay <br /> for a Beach permit, that money goes into a RevolvingAccount; -that account <br /> can be expended without the Town Meeting. The intent is to allow <br /> the Town Meeting to have greater control over what would be expended.. <br /> There will be an attempt to use Chapter 40 * Section 53E in connection <br /> .with the Recreation Department budget. <br /> The Town would be appropriating the total amount that would be expended, <br /> in this case, then allowing an estimate for the receipts for the next year. <br />
