June 22, 2005 <br /> <br />keeps leading to same conclusion – current staffing is sound but this year was <br />unusual. <br /> <br />Inquiry was made about expected snow budget deficit. Linda Vine responded that <br />they were still completing budget closeouts but expected something in the range <br />of $400,000 - $500,000. Some possibility of additional money from the state to <br />offset this, perhaps as much as $450,000/$500,000. This would be in addition to <br />the $153,000 already received for blizzard relief. <br /> <br />Paul Hamburger pointed out that this will all affect how much money flows to <br />free cash after closeouts complete. Will we have an idea of free cash balance at <br />time of Selectmen’s goal setting? Linda Vine replied that they will try to do this, <br />and reminded the committee that much effort had been made to freeze spending <br />where possible in light of the tough budget year. <br /> <br />Al Levine questioned whether enough additional money appropriated for FY2006 <br />for library utilities. Linda Vine acknowledged that this will continue to be a <br />challenge. Both Jeanne Krieger and Linda Vine agreed that perhaps a re- <br />energized energy committee should look at this. <br /> <br />ACTIONS TAKEN: <br />Motion passed 8-0 to approve all requested reserve fund transfers. <br />Motion passed 8-0 to approve the $78,750 of special transfer requests under <br />Section 123 of the Municipal Relief Act of 2003. (Subject to BOS approval, as <br />well.) <br /> <br />3. Reports of other meetings and events: <br /> <br />John Bartenstein suggested that AC members do email write-ups of other <br />meetings attended and circulate in advance of scheduled committee discussion. <br />He will do this for the TMMA wrap-up meeting and the Division of Local <br />Services meeting. He did mention one item from TMMA session regarding TM <br />start time. There were significant concerns raised, especially by finance <br />committees, so Marge intends to survey the TMMA on this issue. <br /> <br />4.
