and J Ryan
• General discussion of the BOS list of possible cuts and or funding of"program
improvements". The SC is in the process of preparing a similar listing.
• General discussion of"free cash". J Ryan will prepare an accounting of the
calculation when certified. J Ryan explained the growth calculation identifying
most of the growth being in the area of personal property. There is very little if
any growth in the commercial and industrial segment of the tax base. The
residential growth will probably slow down with the down turn in the economy.
• Discussed the proposed school capital program, specifically the Harrington
School. Concern expressed over the fact that the Harrington may be the swing
space for an extended period of time (15 or more years). The area would be hard
pressed to support two schools for that length of time. Discussion of swing space,
including the possible commercial space and using swing space other than the
Harrington School.
• Discussed the proposed health insurance appropriation request. P Hamburger will
continue to seek data from R Ducharm and K Walsh.
• Discussed project review, deadlines for submission and responsibilities
