Finance Committee Minutes <br /> June 15 , 1988 <br /> Page 3 . <br /> 9 . Request for Transfer from the Reserve Fund <br /> Submitted by Joseph Murphy , Executive Secretary <br /> Amount of request : $2 , 666 . 00 to the Selectmen ' s Expense Account . <br /> This amount represent the local portion of a state grant to <br /> conduct a feasibility study for establishing a human services <br /> agency . The state portion is $8 , 000 . Wendy Rubin , Director of <br /> Park and Rec joined the meeting to discuss this Request . She <br /> noted that at present there is a lack of coordination between <br /> different services . This grant would identify human services <br /> and youth services needs in Mashpee and make recommendations <br /> which will aid the town in evaluating the need for a human services <br /> agency . Wendy noted that this is a six-month project to commence <br /> July 1 , thus the need for the Finance Committee to approve <br /> immediately . Vern Polka noted that if the Finance Committee should <br /> approve this request they will be taking on an action that is <br /> really a town meeting action . Vern stated her belief that this <br /> grant proposal was developed prior to town meeting and there was <br /> ample time to get it on the warrant . She expressed her belief <br /> that someone was not doing their job . Wendy Rubin noted that in <br /> April she had given the proposal to the Executive Secretary and <br /> town counsel . Carole Dunivan voiced support of Vern ' s objection <br /> to approving this Request . Carl also agreed with Vern but stated <br /> that he hated to lose state monies , a lot of work had gone into <br /> the project at this point . Heller motioned that the Finance <br /> Committee approve the Request , however , notify Murphy of their <br /> concern over the way the matter was handled . Gerald Sewell noted <br /> that it was not a good policy to take away the town ' s opportunity <br /> to speak on this Request . Chairman Heller withdrew his motion <br /> and suggested a meeting with the parties involved to discuss this <br /> Request . The persons involved are Joseph Murphy , Wendy Rubin , <br /> Dr . DeMoura and Jim Rommelmyer . This meeting will be held Monday <br /> morning , at 9 a . m.
