Meeting of the Appropriation Committee, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 1968, 7:30 p.m. <br /> Present: D. Grant, Chairman; J. Blaisdell; R. Blomfield; L. Burnell; <br /> E. Furash; R. Perry, Comptroller; D. White; L. Zehner; R. Souza <br /> Reserve Fund Requests <br /> $400 requested for Board of Appeals, Expenses, by Mr. Nickerson. Present <br /> balance is $94.70. $1300 was appropriated, $1775 had been requested. <br /> Letter requesting the transfer stated that there had been greater <br /> expenditures bedause of more hearings, more secretarial work needed, <br /> and higher prices. The $400 would be used for secretarial services, <br /> Minute-Man Publications and Lexington Press. <br /> Voted totransfer $400 fror Reserve Fund to Board of Appeals - Expenses <br /> $300 requested by Doris Barclay, Tax Collector, to be transferred to <br /> Account #2700. Present balance is $62.99 of the $2100 appropriated. <br /> $2,550 was the original request. The $300 is neededfor supplies which <br /> U were aiiidx$t not heavily stocked because of the anticipated change <br /> in Tax Collectors and, therefore, in forms. <br /> Voted to transfer $300 from Reserve Fund to Account #2700. <br /> $1,000 requested by Selectmen for Clerical Pool, to be used for office <br /> help. <br /> Voted to transfer $1,000 to Clerical Pool from Reserve Fund. <br /> Dick Perry reported that we can anticipate a request for transfer of <br /> funds for Engineering Dept. - expenses. The balance is low. This would <br /> be for equipment rental, for a car for Mr. McSweeney. Four vehicles <br /> are charged on a rental basis. <br /> Tax Bills. Dick Perry reported that, by last Thursday, all real estate <br /> tax bills were in the mail. As a result of telephone calls made by Mr. <br /> Cataldo andhimself to large tax payers, some money has been received <br /> already and more is expected. If these receipts are as great as expected, <br /> the need for tax anticipation borrowing may be over. The Selectmen will <br /> write letters of appreciation to the companies which have paid taxes <br /> early; most of them seem to wish no further publicity. <br /> Public Works Dept. - Capital Projects A letter was received from Mr. <br /> Burke giving the present status of capital projects for which appropria- <br /> tions have been made. Copies will be made for members of the Committee. <br /> School Committee <br /> Logan Clarke requests that we put together some information which might <br /> help him in negotiations with teachers. He suggests that we consider <br /> what the outside limit of future school budgets might be. Though he <br /> would like as much back-up material as we can provide, Logan has requested <br /> that there not be a member of the Appropriation Committee on the School <br /> Salary Study Committee this year. <br /> Dick Perry has prepared some graphs showing, for example, the increase in <br /> school operating expenses, compared with the increase in general operatig <br /> expenses and with total town expenses. Ed Furash has figures on consumer <br /> price increase and Lexington income figures. <br /> This discussion of what the outer limits of school budget should be and <br /> what basis should be used in expressing possible increases (total budget <br /> figures, proportion of total town expenses, per pupil cost) continued <br /> for the remainder of the meeting. Between 1964 and 1968 there was a <br /> 33% increase per pupil and a 6% increase in cost of living. <br /> TheCommittee tentatively agreed that the school operating budget should <br />
