Finance Committee Minutes <br /> August 6, 1990 <br /> Page 3. <br /> Members left the joint Selectmen's meeting and reconvened the Finance <br /> Committee meeting. Carl stated that he believed the school should be warned <br /> that the $100,000-$250,060 estimated tuition deficit may have to come out of <br /> the school budget. Carl is meeting with 'the School Committee on August 7th. <br /> Members agreed that Carl should express the Finance Committee's "concern" <br /> and state that the money is not available. They should be put on guard that <br /> they may have to find the money in their existing budget. Demoura has .admi.tted <br /> that he did not use the proper numbers to arrive at the tuition figure thus <br /> causing the deficit. He has stated that it will be at least $100,000. <br /> .Tim save each member a worksheet stating how much money the department <br /> they are monitoring returned. Jim suggested they meet with the departments <br /> and ask about the the funds that were returned. He noted that it just may <br /> be the case that departments were trying to save money. <br /> The Mashpee Taxpayers' Association, Dick Terry, has volunteered to do any <br /> research that the Finance Committee would like. Jim noted that this would be <br /> a complex and emotional year with decreased personnel. Jim noted that Finance <br /> Committee members will need to guide their assigned departments in their- <br /> budget presentations. He stressed that the Committee, will rely on the liaisons <br /> . and the Taxpayers' Association will help with the research of data. Jim. <br /> distributed a copy of some research they have already completed on per capita <br /> expenses. This research which ,compared per capita expenses with two other <br /> Cape towns illustrated a "frightening" debt figure. Jim stated that the <br /> comparison graph did not reflect the money we got back from the transfer station <br /> so the DPW/Trash figure should really be about $125. <br /> I <br /> �j Comparison of Per Capita Expenses <br /> Average Amount - FY91 <br /> I <br /> Average Amount <br /> $3,000 <br /> I <br /> $2,500 <br /> S2,000 I <br /> $1,500 € ' E <br /> $1.000 4KI <br /> !
