OWN% Selectmen's Meeting -5- March 19, 1990 He repeated that he does not want the East Lexington Fire Station matter included in an override question for that reason. Motion was made to support the "A" budget totalling $1,097,829 for the eight items listed with the amount for school reduced from $759,567 to $669,567 using the $90,000 saved on health care insurance towards the School budget and with LEXPRESS reduced by the $80,000 which is to come from the Parking Meter fund and to recommend to Town Meeting that the "A" budget be approved. The motion was simplified by amending to state "to accept the " A " budget as proposed by the Town Manager for FY91. The motion was seconded. It was voted 3 -2, with Mr. Dailey and Mr. McSweeney voting in the negative, to accept the "A" budget. Mr. Eddi son asked for the sense of the Board on their positions 'if the "A" budget is accepted by Town Meeting. Mr. Dailey said he would vote to put the matter on the ballot but that he would oppose an override. Mrs. Smith said she would support going to the public on having an override and would support the "A" budget. Mr. McSweeney said that if the "A" budget carries, he would vote to put it on the ballot but would not support an override. He would want the programs voted on item by item. Mr. Eddison would support the "A" budget and would be in favor of putting it before the citizens. He would not commit to his support, however, if the budget approved is different than the one accepted that evening by the majority of the Board and would not be in favor of a breakdown of the items. GOLF COURSE Mr. White reported on his decision to award the contract for management of the Pine Meadows Golf Course to Golf Facilities Management Inc., as recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee. Of the four responses to the R.F.P. sent out by the Committee, the proposal of GFMI had appeared to offer the best and most thorough service. The fixed fee structure; nine holes for $10., and 18 holes for $15., with discounts at specified times for seniors, is being reviewed by the Recreation Committee and will be presented to the Board at a later date. Mr. McSweeney complimented the Town Manager on the progress with the golf course operation and asked the newspaper reporter present to publicize the golf course reopening.
