336 <br /> REPLACE (Continued) <br /> Mr. Blaisdell stated he was definitely opposed to <br /> the increase . This is not the responsibility of <br /> the townspeople to pay for i .e . , those living on <br /> fixed incomes ; Vinebrook and Greeley Village <br /> residents. The number of kids that are being reached <br /> is relatively small. What they need here is a group <br /> of businessmen to run this. <br /> Mr. Campbell stated he felt that the center does not <br /> seem to be run very well -- is this a drop-in for <br /> socialability purposes or for need? I feel that <br /> the parents can and should in most cases pay a fee <br /> for the services. <br /> Mr. Dailey said he felt there was an overlapping of <br /> services here . I do not think we need a $17 , 000 plus <br /> a $14,000 persons <br /> Mr. Furash asked where the report was that was requested <br /> in the 1977 Report of the Appropriation Committee . I <br /> simply would say "no report - no money" . Mr. Furash <br /> also said that he felt it would be wrong to let "Replace" <br /> off the hook as far as fund raising was concerned. We <br /> should keep pushing this. <br /> II . LIBRARY <br /> 1. Security System - a savings on books is being realized <br /> now. There have been enough people caught to justify <br /> the system. <br /> 2. $5,000 increase is not to add books but to meet inflation <br /> prices. Book prices estimated to be up 10-12% next year. <br /> 3. Grant of $5,000 just received so will leave Appropriation <br /> Committee 's reduction in budget stand. <br /> III . ARTICIE 59 <br /> Mr. Lupo appeared before the Committee to inquire as to why <br /> the Appropriation Committee voted "favorable action" on <br /> Article S9 re Weights and Measures. It was explained to him <br /> that the decision was based on the fact that there was no <br /> money requested in the Article . <br /> Mr. Lupo also had some questions re personnel matters and was <br /> told by the Committee to speak directly to the Town Manager. <br /> EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> The Committee voted to go into EXECUTIVE SESSION at 9:00 P.M. <br /> to discuss Conservation Articles with the Commission. <br /> Meeting adjourned at 10:20 P.M. <br /> Next meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 6, 1978 at 7 :30 P.M. <br /> Reepectiv2ely submitted, <br /> Ri"c airci�r�I i' P Y b <br /> ecreary <br />
