The tapes will be reused. <br /> MINUTES <br /> The Reserve Fund has $96,000 remaining as of March 18, 1993. <br /> John Ferriday shared with the committee a letter he received from <br /> Dr. Lincoln DeMoura regarding the utilization of grant receipts and <br /> the regulations on Chapter one monies. It is noted for the record <br /> that Mr. Ferriday never made any statement or should have given <br /> anyone the impression that the Finance Committee wanted to spend <br /> grant monies on anything other than the reasons they were intended. <br /> He stated that he was inquiring about the grant money for the <br /> Finance Committee's information only. The committee wanted to know <br /> what grant monies were available to the school department and what <br /> they were used for. <br /> The committee reviewed the memos which Deirdre Greelish drafted for <br /> tonight's meeting regarding the Vehicle Maintenance Account and the <br /> Privatization of office Cleaning to be sent to the Executive <br /> Secretary and the Board of Selectmen. Members agreed that the <br /> drafts were to be signed and sent. <br /> The committee then spoke about their procedure for department <br /> budget review and how each liaison should communicate the <br /> committee's recommendations to their departments. Members agreed <br /> that after any decisions were made or tentatively made, the <br /> department should be notified in writing or orally about the <br /> decisions. Deirdre suggested drafting a form which would inform <br /> the department of the committee's decision on expense and salary <br /> recommendations and any comments the Finance Committee had. Each <br /> liaison would be responsible for filling out this form and <br /> circulating it to their departments. Members agreed that this was <br /> a good suggestion. Mr. Ferriday stated that he would tell the <br /> school department what the committee tentatively decided on. Mr. <br /> Baker asked that James Vaccaro be invited to a meeting to explain <br /> the Board of Selectmen's decision to level fund the school. <br /> Members decided that at this time they would like to meet with the <br /> Board of Selectmen to clear up any concerns they have regarding <br /> vehicle maintenance, cleaning, outreach worker, lifeguards, <br /> education budget, bidding fixed costs and the possible <br /> consolidation of shellfish/harbormaster and animal control.
