October 28, 2009 <br />estimated expenditures have been reduced by about $8,000 (not including a potential <br />appropriation under Article 9 for the Sister City events), due primarily to the termination <br />of the Adult Day Care program. After discussing the proposed adjustments to the FY10 <br />budget, the Committee voted, 7 -0, to recommend approval o£ Article 10, providing for <br />the appropriation of $35,000 recently received from The Beal Companies for a Hayden <br />and Spring Street traffic master plan to the Traffic Mitigation Stabilization Fund; and <br />Article 12, providing for the appropriation from the Traffic Mitigation Stabilization Fund <br />$25,000 for a pedestrian crossing in the vicinity of 1010 Waltham Street. The Committee <br />also voted 7 -0 to recommend approval of Article 14, which will adjust the amounts <br />appropriated for MWRA costs included in the water and sewer budgets to reflect the <br />final, actual assessments announced in June 2009. Votes will be taken on Article 11 <br />(appropriation of net incremental revenue of approximately $675,000 to the Stabilization <br />Fund) and on Article 13 (amendments to the FYI operating budget) when the final <br />numbers are known. Rob Addelson explained that potential additional incremental <br />revenue of approximately $210,000 that could be expected in FY 10 if the restaurant and <br />hotel/motel local option taxes were adopted at the STM would not be included in revenue <br />estimates for tax -rate setting purposes but would become part of the Free Cash balance as <br />of July 1, 2010. <br />Article Positions for Special Town Meeting.
