41 <br /> Appropriation Committee Meeting, 7:30 p.m4, January 17, 1966 <br /> Present: Messrs. Parrish, Carlson, Gary, Noyes, Zehner, Mrs. Souza <br /> Chairman Parrish has heard from Selectmen that: <br /> Salary Study Committee has been appointed — Lincoln Cole, <br /> Selectman; Sidney Williams, TMMA; Don Noyes, Approp. Comm.j <br /> Neil Chapman, H.P.Hood; and Milton H. Bretscher, Insurance Co. <br /> Selectmen have agreed to do something about Town Report, <br /> possibly appoint a committee. <br /> Selectmen wrote Planning Board that it is their policy not to <br /> grant increases above the regular step increases, therefore they <br /> do not approve raising Zaleski from 525 III to 525 V. <br /> Selectmen wrote Fire Commissioners that they have reconsidered <br /> previous action and voted to approve 1 man in addition to the 1 <br /> man previously approved. <br /> Budget Requests discussed and voted on. All budgets through #4250 <br /> which had not been previously approved were discussed. <br /> The following budgets were held open: <br /> #1950 Town Clerk, Elections — to be checked with Mary McDonough <br /> #2470 Recreation — decided to ask Chairman to discuss this with us. <br /> #3750, 3800, and 4100 and 4150 Police and Fire — to be discussed <br /> with Selectmen. <br /> Selectmen will be advised that $1,000 has been approved for #1130 <br /> Guide Director, instead of 11,500 requested. <br /> #1760 — Printing Town Report — $3,300 approved since the contract <br /> has been let already. A letter is ID be sent to Selectmen recommending <br /> a smaller budget for next year. <br /> #3025 — Assessors Provessional Services $2,500 voted <br /> #3300 Health $8,125 voted. Tuberculosis care budget reduced — no <br /> known cases. <br /> #2900 Out—of—State Travel $0 voted <br /> All out—of—state travel budgets which were approved were approved <br /> subject to further discussion with Selectmen about possibility of <br /> having one out—of—state travel budget administered by them to replace <br /> the many small ones we now have. <br /> #1600 — Arthur Bryson of Planning Board entered to discuss this. <br /> Planning Bd. is unanimous in their wish to increase Alec Zaleski's <br /> salary two steps this year. He was paid the minimum salary to start <br /> because he had had no previous experience as Planning Director; they <br /> feel that his performance has been superior, for example, he handles <br /> all details of subdivision control which formerly took much of the <br /> Planning Board's time. Appropriation Committee agreed to rate of <br /> $11,500 for this salary and voted 013,518 for this budget. <br /> Meeting adjourned at10:57 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Ruth F. So: za, acting secretary <br />
