WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1995
DIRECTOR'S ROOM, CARY HALL, 7:30 PM
* Present: P Lapointe, C Coughlin, M Miley, L Peck, J Pagett, M Mairson, R Leone,
R Neumeier, J Ryan
* Absent: R Borghesani
* R Leone distributed handout of possible slides to be used in AC presentation on Article
14 and Article 18
* P Lapointe began discussion of Article 5. Motion to appropriate $ 380,000 to the school
department for Fiscal 1995( $ 150,000 for early retirement program as agreed to by all
parties last spring and an additional $ 230,000 from "free cash" for special education
deficit this year)
* MOTION to recommend approval of the motion to be presented. Unanimous, one
absent.
* General discussion of Article 14 slides as prepared by R Leone and C Coughlin. AC
needs to explain its position on Article 14. There is a need for the AC to communicate
to Town Meeting the specific reasoning for its support or lack there of on all articles, not
simply stating that we recommend approval or disapproval.
* AC will use slides for Article 14. AC will speak to the "Fiscal Priorities" slide when
recommending approval of a Recreation article and will probably not use the slides for
Article 18 if there is a sense that Town Meeting wishes to wrap up.
* Motion to adjourn
