Robert H. Kingston Oscar R. Carlson
Frank T. Parrish Jr. Raymond L. White, Sec
Ralph B. Fifield Jr. was out of town.
The Board of Selectmen requested a trans'er of $179.00 from the
Reserve Fund to the Accounting Department - Expenses Account. This was
necessary due to hiring outside clerical assistance when one employee
left. A motion was made by Richard H. Battin and voted to transfer $179.00
from the Reserve Fund to Accounting Department - Expenses account.
Robert H. Kingston stated that he and Robert M. Gray got together
last Thursday night on preparing long range planning for the Town and
tentatively figured that the long range planning costs Arlington $3 ,000.00
Long range planning would consists of certain items, such as
1. Make long term Planning
2. Prepare budgets
3. Operating budget
L1.. Build hospital
5. Buy up non residental land
6. Limit operating expenses
The $2,000.00 to $1 ,000.00 mentioned previously would cover consultants
fee and some clerical help.
The next item considered was a request by the Board of Selectmen for
$970.00. This amount needed as that amount was paid to Charles M. Evans
for the extra work beyond his contract at the time Frederick Staples left
the service of the town. The $970.00 was used from the Selectmen' s budget
and now they have insufficient funds for the balance of the year. After
general discussions a motion was made by Logan Clarke and seconded by
John Blaisdell and voted to turn down the request.
Robert H. Kingston stated that the long range planning study was
a joint venture by the Capital Expenitures and Appropriation Committees.
Logan Clarke had roughly prepared a make - up sheet as to what the
total Town valuation would be for this coming year, also the total Town
expenditures for this coming year and the possible tax rate for the year
1964. Logan Clarke figures were based on a $39.00 tax rate. Logan Clarke
-- is to copy his make up sheet for members of this committee only.
