APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE 1st REPORT, APRIL 4, 2007, TO 2007 ATM <br />underway will create an opportunity for the Town to develop amore-consistent facilities maintenance <br />program, to better achieve and maintain the expertise and skill sets needed, to realize savings through <br />operating efficiencies and economies of scale, and to protect school maintenance funds against the <br />pressures of other school operating needs. <br />Some members of this Committee question whether it is appropriate under the statute for Town Meeting <br />to vote to approve the consolidation of the school and municipal facilities departments before a specific <br />consolidation plan has been presented. Nevertheless, in the interest of keeping the process moving along <br />expeditiously, the Committee unanimously (9-0) supports approval of this article with the understanding <br />that if the School Committee were for any reason to vote to approve a consolidation plan which does not <br />meet with the approval of the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen (an exceedingly unlikely <br />event), the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen would have no obligation to implement that plan <br />during FY 2008 and Town Meeting could, in any event, revoke its approval of consolidation, under the <br />terms of the statute, at the next annual town meeting. <br />ArtlCle ZZ: <br /> <br />Appropriate Funds Re uested <br />q Funding <br />Source Committee <br />Recommendation <br />FYZUU$ EnterprlSe $6,078,058 Water EF Approve Requested <br />FUridS BUdgetS EF + $7,346,035 Amounts (9-0) <br /> Wastewater EF + <br /> $1,627,705 <br /> Recreation EF <br />FUNDS REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Enterprise Fund FY2006 <br />Actual FY2007 <br />Appropriated FY2008 <br />Requested <br />1.
