Moderator, Paul C. Dustin, presented the following comments
to Town Meeting members regarding the Budget process under Ar-
ticle 12.
BUDGET - MODERATOR' S REMARKS
1. Motions as moved will be to amend the votes taken
in April for the line items listed. You cannot amend
directly the actions of that Town Meeting.
These are new main motions for this Town Meeting. You may
therefore amend these as you would any main motion.
2. The budget to be presented is a carefully prepared and
balanced budget - any further line item changes presented
from the floor may result in an need to re- evaluate the
over all effect. Nevertheless, the Chair notes that as a
Town Meeting member you have the right to do this .
However, to avoid possible confusion, at the first addi-
tional line item offered from the floor, moved as an addi-
tional motion under the same Article, the Chair will call a
recess and any Town Meeting member who proposes to offer
other line items will be asked to come forward and make
their intent known.
So the Town can evaluate the overall impact following recon-
vening Town Meeting after the recess, no new line items be
accepted from the floor.
3. We will follow the same procedure as in the April .Town
Meeting to keep the line items open if necessary.
If we do not finish this evening, prior to adjournment, a
procedural move will be made to move reconsideration of all
line items voted, then table the move to reconsider.
In this way, the subject can be brought up again should
there be a need to readjust any line item previously voted
on.
This is the method recommended by Town Counsel until the
Bylaw Committee has prepared a specific Town Bylaw to cover
Town Meeting's handling of the budget.
Town Manager, Peter I. Hechenbleikner, presented the following
comments to Town Meeting members regarding the Budget under Ar-
ticle 12:
Mr. Moderator:
What I would like to do at the beginning of this Article is
to just go back to the packet of material that Town Meeting has
received and refresh our memories on some of the material before
US.
I think you all will remember that in Massachusetts,
municipalities do not adopt a revenue side of the budget. We
adopt an expense budget and obviously the revenues have to match
that. There are some instances where specific items of revenue
are appropriated to certain purposes and we'll see that as we go
through.
The material that you have on page 19 is reflected on the
additions and subtractions that have been proposed to the revenue
side. Some of those are due to the State Aid modifications ob-
viously, some of them are due to having accurate information
based on the close of year end FY89, which obviously wasn't there
392
Adjourned Special Town Meeting
September 18, 1989
in April 1989. The total amount anticipated for revenue is
$31,520,916.00. And some of the major changes are additional use
of cemetery sale of lots which gets applied to a specific line
item in the budget, payment in lieu of taxes from the Light
Department, which you heard in a report from the Light Board
Chairman last session, and use of certified free cash in the
amount of $95,000.00.
In response to a question from a Town Meeting member -
What is a shortfall? The shortfall was $797,000.00 which has
been made up as indicated on the slide .and on page 20 of the
Warrant Report. Therefore, the.total shortfall that we're
trying to deal with in modifying this budget is $602,000.00.
There was an agreement reached between the School Department and
the municipal side of government, for the municipal side to pick
up 60 per cent of the shortfall and the school side to pick up 40
per cent. The actual percentage of budgets is reversed. The
School Department takes up 60 percent -of the total expense budget
in the Town and the municipal, 40 percent. But the concern was
that the schools are less able, on very short notice, to modify
their budget because of contractual and other obligations. Pages
21 through 23 of your Warrant Report reflect in summary how the
Town and how the School Department are proposing to deal with
these issues. They're to be dealt with by total non - personal ex-
pense reductions of $32,550.00 on the municipal side, a reduction
in salaries of $223,355.00, and an increase in revenues of
$107,295.00. Town Meeting has previously dealt with those in-
creases in revenues. On the school side, the total cut in non -
personal expenses is $57,370.00. The total cuts in salaries
$103,930.00 and the total revenues are $77,500.00. In the
revenues on the school side some of those reflect a decrease in
the expense budget, and the reason for that is that there are
items for funds that are available to School Committee without
appropriation, things like the Summer School balance, the
facilities rent account balance and so forth. And so those are
available to them and are reflected as expense reductions.
As we go through each motion, you can directly correlate the
reduction to the material that you have in your packet in terms
where the reduction is in each department and I'll try to point
that out.
For example, we will point out each line item in the budget
as printed on page 24. You will see, for example, that line item
is proposed to be cut by $200 dollars and I will explain to you
where that falls into Group One, or Group Two, or Group Three
cuts. And that one, very simply, is a reduction in the expense
items in the Town Accountant's office in the area of 0ut -Of-
State- Travel. We'll go through how those group cuts apply to
their specific line items. At least that's the intent.
ARTICLE 12. On motion of Elizabeth M. T. Greene, it was
