October 30, 2007 Committee Assignments. The following were confirmed as Committee assignments: Deborah – SPED out-of-district budget line, capital Eric – CPA Pam, Susan – Ad Hoc Budget Timetable Committee liaisons Susan, Alan – Selectmen’s meetings Pam, Rick, Mike – school budget Mike, Deborah - reserves Pam, Rod – School Financial Review Committee liaisons Rod – financial projections Budget Timetable. Susan McLeish and Pam Hoffman reported on the status of deliberations by the Selectmen’s Ad Hoc Committee on the Budget Timetable. Next spring, the Town election will be held on Tuesday, March 4, 2008. The Committee is expected to recommend a timetable under which Town Meeting would start on Wednesday, March 12, and the operating budget would be brought up for debate on Monday, March 17. This schedule would allow the school budget to be determined earlier than it has for the past few years and would allow the School Administration to make hiring offers earlier in the year and thus hopefully be able to attract the better candidates. However, it would put a squeeze on the time available for this committee to review and report on the financial articles. The Chair noted that the next meeting of the Appropriation Committee will be in conjunction with a summit meeting on November 13 at 7:30 PM in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room after which the A.C. will continue to meet on its own in G-15. The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:50 PM. Respectfully submitted, Alan Levine Approved November 13, 2007 - 3 -
