Mr. Baker stated <br /> that he would like to see lifeguards budgeted but he would like the <br /> return on beach stickers to cover the total cost. <br /> David Consalvi, School Committee, was present at the meeting. He <br /> requested a recommendation for the school department, a figure that <br /> they could begin their work with. Mr. Ferriday explained how the <br /> committee came up with their recommendation of $5,353,000. The <br /> total amount of increased revenue to the town is 6/10 of a percent, <br /> and so Mr. Ferriday moved to raise the school department from last <br /> year one percent. He stated that he did not go through line items <br /> this year but just increased the department one percent from last <br /> year. Mr. Consalvi stated that he was inquiring because the <br /> department needed to sign pink slips by April 15th. <br /> LEISURE SERVICE <br /> The Finance Committee is recommending $102,743 for salaries and <br /> $15,155 for their expense totalling $117,898 . Mr. Baker stated <br /> that he would go along with the increase of $50,000 over last year, <br /> as long as the department can come up with exact figures in good <br /> faith. There are ten lifeguards listed in the budget. The amount <br /> budgeted for the lifeguards is $33 ,013 .20 and the amount budgeted <br /> for the gate attendants is $17,463 . Last year there was only <br /> $5,000 budgeted for gate attendants. Deirdre mentioned that the <br /> department would like to double the program supervisor's hours and <br /> move one secretary back to the school department.

Library catalog cards will not be typed anymore and the <br /> public will be able to utilize this new terminal in place of the <br /> card catalog. Mr. Baker questioned the reason why the library <br /> repair and maintenance hasn't gone down, because the library has <br /> gotten rid of their duplicator. Ms. Greelish mentioned that they <br /> did lower their energy and communication costs. Ms. Greelish did <br /> not sense that any money was being hid. The number of books <br /> increased.
