January 5, 2006 <br />financial comparison with assumptions and let the audience come to its <br />own conclusion. We should have preliminary distributions before the <br />meeting so all can come prepared to discuss. Our objective would be to <br />have a final version of something for two weeks later. Distribution is to be <br />determined, but the idea is probably to distribute to the TMMA list, <br />possibly to put something in the Library, the Minuteman, and perhaps on <br />the Town and/or TMMA website. <br /> <br />b. It was suggested that we validate the facts of the presentation given to us <br />by the advocacy committee, being careful not to validate the presentation <br />itself. <br /> <br />5. Budgets: Michael Young supplied the following information: <br /> <br />a. He handed out School Budgets and School Enrollment projections. If soft <br />copy is desired, someone should contact Ann Giombetti. It was pointed <br />out by Helen Cohen that the School Committee had not yet approved this <br />budget so it is subject to change. <br /> <br />b. On January 18 there will be a Town Manager Budget including the data <br />from the school budget just handed out. This will start the process of <br />balancing the budget. The packets are expected to include the following: <br /> <br />i. Program Summary—Level-Service and Needs-Based <br />ii. School <br />iii. Yellow pages—mirrors line items and object codes <br />iv. Base & Needs-Based—Municipal <br />v. Capital—Municipal <br />vi. Where we stand—expectation vs. reality <br /> <br />c. A question was asked about the $2M free-cash allocation to the revenues. <br />Michael says this is part of the revenue model. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 . <br />PM <br /> <br /> <br />PAUL HAMBURGER <br /> <br /> <br />Approved February 2, 2006 <br /> 5 <br />
