J Ryan
Absent: R Neumeier, M Mairson
* P Lapointe has spoken to R White and M Battin about the postponement of Article 5
until Wednesday, April 26. The SC is scheduled to meet on Wednesday just prior to the
Town Meeting and will be prepared at that time to present their request for supplemental
funds for Fiscal 1995.
* BOS is meeting and will discuss the municipal requirements for a reserve fund transfer
as J Ryan discussed with the AC last week. The request will be in the area of $ 150,000
for Police(Dispatch) and Fire
* General discussion of Article 4 issues. Question as to whether D O'Connor will be
offering any amendments this evening.
* General discussion of the position to be taken by the AC with respect to the items
appearing on the override. If the recommendations meet the criteria of the AC and are
well defined services or program elements, it is not the role of the AC to micro manage
the decisions of the BOS. It is ultimately their decision.
* There has not been an amendment or motion put forth as of yet for RePlace
* General discussion of Article 14,the alternate fuel vehicles. Discussion as to whether the
AC wishes to change its vote since Lexpress does not appear to be an override item.
R Leone feels that the article does not meet any of the guidelines of the AC.
* R Borghesani will not be here on Wednesday to discuss the article. He feels that he
could support the article for the clean air benefits but not for the required management
of an expanded service.
* Motion to adjourn
