<br />FINCOM <br />Meeting Minutes <br />November 20,2025 <br /> <br />Collins also addressed parent concerns about potentially placing a School Resource <br />O?icer at every school. He does not support this, stating that current safety measures— <br />including controlled entry, camera monitoring, real-time police access, and a rotating <br />SRO—are e?ective, and that sta?ing each school is not justified. He noted that police <br />respond immediately to any potential school threat and can monitor cameras from patrol <br />vehicles. <br />Town Manager updates on other items <br />Town Manager Rodney Collins reported one additional upcoming request from the IT <br />Department, noting that they will complete the appropriate form for Finance Committee <br />review. The Town Manager explained that when the request first came in, he initially <br />declined due to the cost. However, the Director returned with support sta? and further <br />information, and the Town Manager agreed to forward it to the Finance Committee because <br />it appears the proposal could save the Town money in future years. He emphasized that the <br />IT Director will present the full details directly to the committee. <br />Discussion of upcoming budget process <br />The committee discussed the upcoming budget process, noting that once the new budget <br />materials are ready, they will be placed into members’ binders for review. Members will <br />receive a full binder of departmental budget requests to use during department meetings, <br />which are optional but provide an opportunity to hear questions, ask their own, and report <br />back to the committee. Attendance must remain below three members to avoid a quorum. <br />After receiving the budget book, the chair will update the spreadsheet used to analyze <br />departmental requests, Town Manager recommendations, and year-to-year changes. <br />ADDITIONAL TOPICS <br />(This space is reserved for topics the Chair did not reasonably anticipate would be <br />discussed) <br />NEXT MEETING <br /> December 11, 2025 @ 4:30 pm <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Motion to adjourn made by Keith Machado. <br />Motion seconded by Darlene Furbush. <br />Motion passed by unanimous consent. <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
