Finance Committee Minutes <br /> July 12, 1989 <br /> Page 3. <br /> Murphy noted that Anne Shaw the Treasurer-Tax Collector was present in her <br /> capacity as the District Collector. $6,000 is needed for the Water District <br /> Account. Murphy noted that there were a variety of options available to the <br /> Finance Committee in this matter. <br /> 1. Transfer the money right to the department <br /> 2. Transfer $3,000 in now and $3,000 at the November town meeting <br /> 3. $6,000 at the August special <br /> 4. Encumber $3,000 and in November ask for $6,000 <br /> 5. Do nothing <br /> 6. Reduce the amount needed. <br /> Murphy recommended that the Finance Committee go with the fourth option. Jim <br /> Vaccaro motioned that the Finance Committee encumber $3,000 for the Water District <br /> Account, and seek the $6,000 at the town meeting in November,seconded by Tony <br /> Gallo. There was a unanimous vote of approval. <br /> There was also a Request for Transfer in the amount of $2,067 to be considered. <br /> These monies are to be transferred to the Fire Management Salaries Account. <br /> The amount appropriated was inadequate to allow a salary step increase to the <br /> fire chief, due to an error. Jim Vaccaro moved the Finance Committee approve <br /> the Request, seconded by Ed Dolan and there was a unanimous vote of approval. <br /> The Finance Committee considered a Request for Transfer in the amount of <br /> $570 to be transferred to the Leisure Services Clerical Salaries Account. <br /> This Request would provide the proper salary for the part time clerk in the <br /> Leisure Services Department. The amount was budgeted incorrectly by the Executive <br /> Secretary. John Ferriday motioned for approval, Tony Gallo seconded, and there <br /> was a unanimous vote of approval. <br /> The final Request for Transfer to be considered at this meeting was in the <br /> amount of $264.38 to be transferred to the Plumbing Inspector's Salary. These <br /> funds are required as the 53rd week was not anticipated for FY89. John Ferriday <br /> moved for approval, Jim Vaccaro seconded and there was a unanimous vote of <br /> approval by all present. <br /> Murphy distributed to Finance Committee members the warrant for the August <br /> Special Town Meeting. There are 6 articles on the warrant. It was the consensus <br /> that recommendations on these articles would be made on the town as <br /> floor. <br /> This motion was made by John Ferriday and seconded by Jim Vaccaro, all members <br /> present were in agreement to this. Murphy urged that the Finance Committee <br /> call in the Town Planner before the Special Town Meeting to address articles <br /> 4 and 5. <br /> Article 1 - Murphy noted that this article needs to go to town meeting for <br /> appropriation, there is money in the bond. This article concerns <br /> the town well on town property (Route 28 and Orchard Road) to <br /> provide water to Summerwood and Asher's Pather. The town has <br /> agreed that the water district will provide distribution. The money <br /> is to reimburse the corporation for the well installation. The DEQE <br /> has stated that this is a town responsibility. <br />
