9 2. Meeting of the Appropriation Committee March 13, 1967 Planning Board Chairman, Roland Greeley met with Approp. Ctee. Personal Services budget: Board is worried about losing Zaleski, Planning Director. They have revised job description, wish to change his grade from S 25 IV to a 26 C (increase from $+11,080 to $12,487), instead of merely raising him within his present grade as proposed by Salary Committee from S 25 IV to S 25 D 011,080 to $12,190) Money is minor but status is very important. They may take this to Town Meeting to decide. Lloyd Land and Whipple Hill land . Planning Board wants Town to 1f� buy both. If they had to choose, would take Whipple Hill first ,.� because they think it safer to wait on Lloyd land. Whipple Hill is owned by developer who wants to develop it as soon as he gets access through Winchester. Lloyd land is wanted for active recreation. Children's play area of 3 to 5 Acres would be enough, but since the land has only one narrow access it is not practical to get only 5 Acres without paying as much, or almost as much, for that amount as for the whole 14 Acres. They would probably not be opposed to using the back portion as conservation land. Appropriation Committee voted: to recommend Zaleski's salary as previously budgeted, to recommend purchase of Whipple Hill, to postpone Lloyd land purchase, to recommend acct. #2470 as voted before (Rec. Ctee. requests an increase in that budget for basketball program in preference to Article for grandstands) to add $225 to acct. #4400 (C.D. out—of—state travel) because Mr. Burrell will need money for meeting before next fall when he becomes chairman and has meeting money made available by the association. Art. 73: Permanent Building Ctee. Propose that three people appoint this committee rather than just the Ooderator; suggest these be the Chairmen of Selectmen and School Committee plus the Moderator. Selectmen, when asked their opinion, agreed; they will offer amendment. By—Law forbidding members of finance committees to serve on other Town committees preparing expenditures was discussed. Selectmen's Meeting Selectmen have decided to recommend against bonding for Art. 14, sewer laterals; they do recommend bonding for Arts. 16 and 17 Art. 14 — Selectmen will propose $325,000 (about $50,000 more than we have) Art. 71 — Selectmen will propose indefinite postponement $5,000 for loaming and seeding Baskin playground Streets — Selectmen will recommend all streets except Art. 23,(which is included by mistake). Total is $69,000 more than we recommend. Respectfully submitted, "uth F. Souza, secretary
