Concerning the liquor license fees, Selectman Hanson would like the Board to consider this one payment due on November the 30th be broken down into two payments or quarterly. He feels it is a bad time of year for establishments to make the advance payment. Memorandum from Superintendent of Schools: In a memo from Dr. DeMoura and the School Committee to the Board they have protested to the duplication of department efforts. Mr. Polsi who is a member of the Fiscal Advisory Committee has recently made overtures to area school systems relative to the tuitioning of high school students. Kevin Harrington has suggested the Board send a memo in response that it is not and has never been the Selectmen' s intent to handle negotiations for the town. Selectman Carter feels it is time for the Board to invite the School Committee to a meeting to get on an even footing especially with the budget process. g Selectman Lawrence feels Mr. Polsi has over stepped his bounds and the memo should be made clear to the School Committee that it is not the Board' s charge. Mr. Polsi should also be advised that this is also not his charge. It can be very counter productive. Kevin Harrington will arrange for a future meeting. Approval of a Step Increase - Barbara Flynn: The motion was made by Selectman Gottlieb to approve the step increase of Barbara Flynn as secretary to the Fire Department. Select- man Hanson seconded the motion. The vote of the Board is unanimous. Selectman Jacobson expressed interest in her evaluation.
