Richard Felone, Aloyse Jellison, Jane Soule, <br />Lorna Knapp, Woodrow Baldwin, Elizabeth Knox, Sebastian Tine, <br />Frank Lemaire and Rheta McKinley. Absent: Penny Richards. <br />Meeting opened at 7:33 p.m. A motion MADE and SECONDED to accept the <br />minutes of the previous meeting. <br />FINANCIAL REPORT: Jane Soule reported that, based on the November printout, <br />everything seems to be in line. She questioned an expenditure of $156.00. <br />(This was for a small body repair on the van. The person that damaged <br />the van had her insurance company pay the total amount of $156.00 which <br />we deposited and then placed on the warrant to pay the bill we received.) <br />Motion MADE and SECONDED to accept the Financial Report. <br />OLD BUSINESS: The Annual. Dinner; Dick thought it went pretty well. He also <br />thought that intermingling, although great in theory, was not working. <br />He feels that people want to be seated with their own friends. Dick <br />would also like to do something about the huge mob that waits outside <br />the door. Aloyse suggested that services be right at the tables, rather <br />than in the upstairs chapel. Dick suggested that everyone give it some <br />thought for next year. Sebastian thought the meal was "superb"`. A <br />motion MADE and SECONDED to send a gift check to each of the three individuals <br />who ran the dinner ($25.00 each). Also a $100.00 donation to Austin Prep <br />in appreciation of the use of their facilities. The donation to come out <br />of the regular budget. The $75.00 to come out of our revolving account. <br />PART-TIME AFTERNOON CLERK: Rheta says that Edna is interested in~Qing the <br />present part-time clerk position, a full-time position. -BsrLt~-feels that <br />two workers at four hours each means you get two people that are "fresher" <br />rather than one person working a full day. Rheta pointed out that this <br />way, no benefits are necessary and the town might be more agreeable to <br />hiring the additional clerk. A motion MADE and SECONDED to ask for an <br />additional part-time clerk for the afternoon. <br />BUDGET: Motion MADE and SECONDED to accept the salary proposal, with salary <br />proposal changes and change the Administrative Secretary position to <br />increase the hours not to 35 but to 372 hours. <br />Motion MADE and SECONDED to invite Brian McMenamin to the January <br />meeting to review the budget with him. Wednesday, December 11, we have <br />been invited to meet with the selectmen at 7:30 p.m. to discuss our new <br />facilities, along with the School Committee. <br />CHRISTMAS: PARTY: This is scheduled for December 19. We are hoping the Jaycees <br />will fund this event. If they do not, and all other means are exhausted, <br />Dick would like the Council to fund it. A motion MADE and SECONDED to <br />outlay the approximate $100.00 for this event, only if necessary. <br />NEW BUSINESS: Dick read a letter received from the Tea Dance Committee. They <br />have purchased a public address system, made possible by collections at <br />the Tea Dance as well as special donations by the Tea Dance Committee. <br />This will be available for our use at all COA functions. <br />Motion MADE and SECONDED to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m. <br />Res. ectfully submi ted, <br />Edna A.
