T it O <br /> P. O. BOX 1108 <br /> MASHPEE, MA 02649 <br /> NANCE COMMITTEE <br /> March 28, 1988 <br /> Paul Gately, Editor <br /> Mashpee Enterprise <br /> P.O. Box 363 <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Dear Mr. Gately: <br /> The article in your March 23rd issue entitled Fincom Budget Review <br /> Goes On At Non-Posted Sessions, has been read and noted by all members. <br /> The fact that an error was made on the part of the Finance Committee <br /> Chairman in not notifying the Town Clerk of the sessions was fairly stated. <br /> It. was not the intent of the Committee to avoid participation of any of <br /> the public or Town Department Heads. This condition has been corrected and ;;sY <br /> in essence should never have existed. <br /> However, our concern is with the immature and irresponsible actions of <br /> your reporter, Susan Billings, in contacting Department Heads advising them <br /> of reductions in their budgets which she had been told in no uncertain <br /> words were not finalized. 1% <br /> This has caused great concern to the members of the Finance Committee <br /> and to the Department Heads. It should also be noted that she was advised <br /> that there would be a finalization of the budget recommendations on Monday, <br /> March 21st. 1Is. Billings did not attend this meeting, however, in her <br /> article she does make statements as to what actions were taken at this meeting. <br /> We do not feel that the decisions reached by this Committee are being <br /> properly portrayed to the Town of Mashpee or the Department Heads. I wish <br /> You would so advise your reporter and take corrective actions where necessary. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Carl Heller, Chairman <br /> Edward Dolan <br /> Carol Dunivan <br /> John Ferriday <br /> Joyce Howell <br /> William Towner <br /> CH/gm <br />
