All Boards are comfortable with the <br />projections. <br /> <br />Overlay Accounts <br /> <br />The Boards need to determine how much of an appropriation should be made to cover <br />abatements on property tax bills. Assessments need to be improved so that the data <br />needed to deny abatements is available. <br /> <br />Health Benefits <br /> <br />Ms. Vine informed the Boards that a 10% increase is being budgeted for FY06 Health <br />Benefits. She will be meeting with a consultant on Thursday and is waiting for the report <br />from the Health Benefit Review Committee. <br /> <br />Before ending the meeting the Boards briefly discussed Cash Capital Policy, School <br />Department Capital Requests, municipal departments doing an analysis of fees and the <br />school doing an analysis of user fees and how the two sides should share the deficit in the <br />budget. <br /> <br />The group ended the meeting at 9:00p.m. <br /> <br />The Appropriation Committee adjourned. The Capital Expenditures Committee, the <br />School Committee and the Board of Selectmen remained in session to continue individual <br />board meetings. <br /> <br />A true record, Attest: <br /> <br /> <br /> Lori Manning <br />Clerk <br /> <br /> <br /> - 4 - <br />
