Article #8 - ( I think this is correct) - $37,800. in Overlay Surplus
from 1969. Proposed Reserve Fund for 1970 would mean $87,200. to
be appropriated and raised on the tax levy.
Meeting was held at 8:45 P.M. with the Board of Selectmen in the Select-
men's Room. Present were Chairman Robert Cataldo, Irving Mabee, Fred C .
Bailey, Roland Greeley and Town Manager elect Walter O'Connell. Dis-
cussion was held as to the Planning Board's request for $4,000. for an
expense account available to them in emergencies. The Selectmen recom-
mend $2,500. Appropriations will hold decision after meeting with the
Planning Board. Chairman Gary stated that Appropriations felt that
the salary request for a Secretary in Acct. #1060 - Town Manager, P.S.
budget was high. T. I. O'Connell staterthat to acquire the experienced,
qualified type of person necessary would require a S-9-E title at a
salary of $7,125 or approximately $136. per week. Interviews are being
held, but of 16 persons interviewed, only 5 qualify and only 2 are really
to be considered to have the proper qualifications. Salary limitations
may lose these 2. The proposed $7,125. is necessary to attract the
quality secretary and administrative person needed.
Discussion was held on all money Articles in the Warrant. The Selectmen
explained locations and priorities on DPW and major money egguests
