Herring Warden <br /> Denise presented the Herring Warden's budget. The Herring Warden is asking for a $500 stipend <br /> and an increased expense account from $1,000 to $1,500. That is a 100% increase in this budget. <br /> The Committee decided to level fund it, saying the Herring Warden accepted the appointment <br /> with no salary. If he no longer chooses to do the work without compensation, he can resign. <br /> Council on Aging <br /> Deirdre presented the Council on Aging budget. Deirdre recommended reinstating the Director <br /> to 40 hours, as requested in her budget, and a reduction in the Outreach Workers hours from 21 <br /> to 19. The Outreach Worker was increased to 40 hours last year; but this year, the new Director <br /> feels that is not needed. The Outreach Worker has a baby and asked for a reduction in her hours <br /> from 40 to 25. Actually, she is working 21 hours, 8 hours for 3 days with an hour off for lunch. <br /> The Committee supported the reduction from 24 to 19. <br /> Deirdre recommended Ievel funding the expense budget at $10,155, down from the requested <br /> $12,350. COA spent $5400 in '92 and $4700 this year thusfar. Ed recommended $7200 based on <br /> this history. Deirdre said the renovated building is twice the previous size, and the COA wasn't in <br /> the building for more than 6 months this year; so the $4700 is not an accurate reflection of the <br /> cost of running the plant. The Committee agreed to an expense budget of $8000, but would <br /> revisit the issue if Deirdre got more concrete information to support a higher amount. <br /> Leisure Services <br /> Deirdre presented the Leisure Services budget, supporting the addition of lifeguards and gate <br /> attendants, and the expense figure. However, she prefers to limit spending on lifeguards to the <br /> amount of funds raised through the sale of beach stickers. From July to January of this fiscal year, <br /> $15,350 was raised, and in FY92 it was nearly $43,000. <br /> Due to the late hour, the Committee decided to postpone a decision on the budget. Deirdre will <br /> find out if the Selectmen plan to increase the beach sticker fees. <br /> Adjournment: 10:20 p.m. <br /> Submitted by, <br /> Deirdre Greelish <br />
