Selectmen present: Jim Vaccaro, Chairman; George Costa and Nancy Caffyn. Judy Mills and Peter DiNizio were not present. Bob Whritenour, Executive Secretary was present for this meeting. Please note for the record that the taping of this meeting is for the transcription of the Minutes only. Once the Minutes are approved, the tapes will be reused. Ms. Caffyn requested that an open meeting be held prior to entering into Executive Session. She had questions regarding Stabilization and certain other articles. Mr. Vaccaro stated that free cash was not certified and not available to be placed in Stabilization. Mr. Vaccaro said that it could be placed into Stabilization in May. Mr. Golub's concern was that a capital need may arise in May and that the free cash may not make it to Stabilization. Mr. Vaccaro mentioned that it was the Selectmen's commitment to take all but $200,000 and place into Stabilization. Mr. Goggin asked if there were any new growth numbers from the assessors? Mr. Whritenour answered that it looked pretty close to the estimate. i Ms. Caffyn also mentioned that there was not a particular grade listed in Article 5. She felt it would be helpful to list the present grade and the grade being requested in the article. Mr. Costa answered that the present grade is 10 and the request is to move the Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen to a grade 12. This grade 12 salary would equal the salary amount of the Personnel Administrator, according to Mr. Costa. Ms. Caffyn reiterated that she would like to see this listed in the article. Ms. Caffyn's next concern was that the article numbers would be changing after the Warrant had been approved. She felt that any articles that would be added should be placed at the end of the Warrant. Mr. Vaccaro stated that the petition articles are always, at the end of the Warrant. Ms. Caffyn then suggested placing any new articles after the last article, but before the petition articles-. Mr. Goggin asked the purpose of acquiring the State Beach. Mr. Vaccaro explained that it would be in the Town's favor to takeover the State side. The side which the Town now uses will eventually be destroyed in a storm and will not be rebuilt. It was Mr. Costa's opinion that the State will not hand over their parking lot any time soon or too willingly.
