The restructuring would consist of <br />creating a new Town Facilities Department that would be overseen by the Facilities Director <br />and Supervised by both the Superintendent and Town Manager. The Town budget will <br />increase with facilities being added. Number wise, nothing will change with facilities, it will <br />just be where it is shown in the budget. The Town added an Assistant Facilities Director <br />position and another custodian. The new line M1 in the proposed FY16 will need to be voted <br />on since it is truly shared costs. Joe Huggins is going back to his position as Facilities <br />Director and will answer to Mr. LeLacheur and Dr. Doherty. <br />Chairman Dan Ensminger called the Board of Selectmen to order at 7:45 PM. <br />Mr. LeLacheur then explained the changes being proposed to November Town Meeting <br />under Article 5. The Article proposed a net increase of $977,250 to the FY16 budgets. A <br />total of $478,250 of Capital is being requested for technology and DPW equipment. An <br />addition of $150,000 is being requested for FINCOM reserves in case the modular <br />classrooms exceed their budget.
