Mrs. Smith noted the recommendation of the Director of Public Works that the petition be approved. There being no further comments, the hearing was declared closed. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the petition, plan and orders of the New England Telephone Company and Boston Edison Company to relocate a pole on Warren Street on the northerly side, approximately 18 feet in a westerly direction from its original site. (Pole #107/5) FY92 CAPITAL BUDGET Mrs. Smith outlined the purpose of the evening's meeting of the Selectmen, School Committee, Appropriation Committee and Capital Expenditures Committee, for preliminary discussion of FY92 Capital Budget requests. She referred to the upcoming election on November F, noting the uncertainties regarding the Town's financial position until the response of voters to the "Citizens for Lower Taxes" petition is known, but saw the need to move forward with the budget process, working with the School and Finance Committees. Mr. White reviewed his suggested "1990/1991 Budget Preparation Calendar ", which outlined the schedules for the Budget Preparation Schedule, Warrant Preparation Schedule and Open Money Report. The budget schedule called for submission of all budget requests, including School, by mid-December to allow for timely distribution and review of information. The School Committee distributed copies of a "Breakdown of 1991/1992 Capital Proposal ", which listed needed improvements at the High School, Hastings, Diamond, Clarke, and systemwide, with no priorities indicated at that time. Supt. of Schools Geiger reported that the School System's operating budget request would be ready for distribution to the School Committee near Christmastime, with adoption of the budget scheduled for the last Thursday in January. Mr. White referred to the requirement in the Selectmen /Town Manager Charter that he provide a balanced Capital budget, including School requests, for the Selectmen's review and approval.
