ATT EST: TOWN CLERK Constab SPECIAL TOWN MEETING - 6/18/91 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING June 18, 1991 - Walter S. Parker Middle School The meeting was called to order by the Moderator, Paul C. Dustin at 7:40 P.M. there being a quorum present. The Invocation was given by Reverend Alan B. Bond, First Con- gregational Church of Reading, followed by the Pledge of Al- legiance to the Flag. The warrant was partially read by the Town Clerk, Catherine A. Quimby, when on motion of Eugene R. Nigro, it was voted to dis- pense with further reading of the warrant, except for the officer's return, which was then read by the Town Clerk. ARTICLE 4 - On motion of.Willard J. Burditt, Chairman of the Finance Committee, it was voted to take Article 4 out of order, and he proceeded to make the following motion: WHEREAS, the Motions made under Article 9 of the April 8, 1991 Warrant for the 1991 Annual Town Meeting appropriating funds for the Proposed FY 1992 Budget were reversed by vote of the voters at a special election held on June 3, 1991; and WHEREAS,.General Laws Chapter 39, Section 9 requires that an An- nual Town Meeting shall complete its business on or before June 30th; and WHEREAS, it is necessary that a FY 1992 Budget be in place and operative for the Town of Reading by June 30, 1991; NOW, THEREFORE, in order to ensure compliance with State law and the budgetary needs for the Town of Reading, pursuant to Section 2-15 of the Reading Home Rule Charter the following Motion made under Article 4 of the Warrant for the June 18, 1991 Special Town Meeting is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the peace, health, safety or convenience of the Town of Reading: MOVE that the Town appropriate for the Proposed FY 1992 Budget, the sum of Thirty-Five Million Three Hundred Seventeen Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars ($35,317,296.00) representing the total of all previously made motions under Article 9 of the April 8, 1991 Warrant as amended; funds for all but line 114 are to be provided as set forth in said previously made motions, funds for line 114 are to be provided as follows: Eighty-Two Thousand Dol- lars ($82,000.00) from Special Real Estate and Four Hundred 1 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING - 6/18/91 Eighty-Four Thousand Dollars ($484,000.00) from Sale of Real Es- tate with the remainder from Property Taxes, State Aid, and Non- Property Tax Local Receipts. Mr. Burditt then presented the following Finance Committee Report to Town Meeting: "The motion that I made contains an emergency. preamble. I am not a Lawyer and I do not understand all of the Whereas's, but I have been told that this is what the Charter allows. What I am, however, is a realist. I do not want to see this town shut down on July 1. If we need another special election because someone does not agree with a budget that this body votes, then because of the time it would take to call for the election and have public hearings, that is exactly what would happen so I ask your support for this. We did have an election that did in fact overturn the budget that had been voted by Town Meeting. What did the voters tell us? After the Finance Committee voted to recommend the same budget as voted by Town Meeting I received a call from a citizen who was concerned about our action. We talked for over an hour about the concerns that we all have. During this talk she told me that she voted NO. I asked her what she did not like about the budget.and she said that she did not know what was in the budget. She said she did not know why the budget was increasing. from $31 million to $35 million and could not afford a tax increase of $450 to $500. I explained that the budget without the Water and Sewer En- terprise accounts was a decrease of about $63 thousand. This puzzled her. She wanted to know why this was not explained to her. I could not answer her. So, what have the voters said. I still do not know after that call how many voters were as con- fused as she was. The Reading Taxpayers Association made a presentation to the Finance Committee on Monday June 10. I was hoping that they would have some new ideas that'we had overlooked but unfortunately I couldn't find any. I had many calls before we voted the budget and every one of them urged that we vote the Town Meeting ap- proved budget. On Wednesday June 12 we did vote the same budget 8-0-0. I would like to differ with a letter in yesterdays Chronicle from the RTpA that said that Fincom did not discuss their recommendations. I made an opening statement in which I summarized my own opinions of most of the points that they made and other members also commented on it. We also had discussions on their recommendations at their presentation on Monday night. We had time between the night of the presentation and the night that we voted to review their presentation and it was the presen- tation and this review on which I based my vote. I assume that we will be back in the fall when reductions will need to be made when the State Aid numbers are finalized. I talked with State Representative Rob Krekorian today about what some of these numbers might be. His assessment is that the House 2 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING - 6/18/91 Proposal may cost Reading almost $300 thousand in additional as- sistance but the Senate Proposal may cost Reading almost $700 thousand. This is in addition to the level funding of the lottery distribution which is in both Proposals. We have used a $236 thousand increase that was in the Governors Proposal. He is doing all that he can to reduce the impact on the town. There could-be some other changes to the budget that.would save us some money. A list of possible mandate changes was made and we may see savings of $120 thousand. I do not know where these State revenues and this years FY91 local revenues will take us in our ability to make better projections, so: Now it is time to vote this budget because we do not have any hard facts to adjust the revenue yet. I urge all of you to vote a budget that includes this emergency preamble. This will require a two thirds vote." Eugene R. Nigro, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen addressed Town Meeting , explaining the purpose and need for adopting a FY 1992 Budget under "an emergency preamble." Richard V. DeLong, Co-Chairman of the Reading Taxpayers Associa- tion, was granted permission to speak to the meeting on the ra- tionale of the amendments proposed by the Taxpayers Association: "Mr. Moderator, Members of the Boards, Town Manager, Town Meeting Members: The Reading Taxpayers Association appreciates the opportunity of making a presentation here tonight before the Town Meeting mem- bers that promotes a FURTHER REDUCTION of certain areas of the FY92 budget. Town Meeting may make substitutions or additional eliminations of budgeted items to accomplish a downward revision. It has been the Reading Taxpayers Association's goal for over a year and a half to begin a budget reduction program that would allow this town to begin again to*"Live Within It's Means." We continue to review budgets and other requested documents that are made available to any taxpayer for reducing excessive taxes or fees. This town should be able to function within reasonable bounds on a budget of $30 million or less. Economic times dic- tate such a policy. The special election of June 3 was an emergency use of the tax- payers' rights (for the 3rd time) to begin the process of further reducing expenses and requesting Town Meeting to reconsider its actions on the FY92 budget as passed. It is our contention that a 10% budget reduction vs. a 3.2% reduction for Fy92 was more realistic for redirecting some of our expenses. Therefore, the Reading Taxpayers Association requests that the Town Meeting Members give careful consideration to the items put forth here tonight for a concerted effort on behalf of the tax- payers to reduce their financial burdens wherever possible!" 3 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING - 6/18/91 On behalf of the Reading Taxpayers Association, John W. Price, Town Meeting Member, Precinct 4, moved the following amendments, each line item to be considered as a separate amendment, all of which were defeated: "Move that this meet ing vote to amend the appropriations made for the f ollowing line items of the Fisca l Year 1992 Municipal Budget by am ending the vote taken under Arti cle 9 of the Warrant for the Annua l Town Meeting of April 8, 1991 as follows, unless otherwise indic ated the source of the appropria tion remains the same: Line Item 10 Decrease by $7,378 Line Item 12 Decrease by $40,904 Line Item 17 Decrease by $11,775 Line Item 27 Decrease by $4,672 Line Item 30 Decrease by $3,237 Line Item 31 Decrease by $1,500 Line Item 32 Decrease by $5,000 Line Item 33 Decrease by $15,000 Line Item 36 Decrease by $18,595 Line Item 53 Decrease by $850 Line Item 56 Decrease by $20,550 Line Item 60 Decrease by $3,195 Line Item 65 Decrease by $5,465 Line Item 75 Decrease by $2,414 Line Item 77 Decrease by $5,446 Line Item 79 Decrease by $52,403 Line Item 87 Decrease by $486,000 Line.

Mr. Stephen W. Thomases, Precinct 8, presented for the record the following petition signed by 260 residents of Reading. "We, the undersigned citizens of Reading, believe that the FY 1992 Budget adopted by Town Meeting on April 22, 1991 provides insufficient funding for one or more of the following services provided by Town Government: o Police Protection o Fire Protection o Street Sweeping, Maintenance and Repair o Library Services and Hours of Operation o Elderly Services, Transportation, Shopping Help 4 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING - 6/18/91 o Public School Services Including: - Athletic Team Coaching, Equipment and Facilities - Elementary and Intermediate Music Training - Computer Training - Individual Academic Assistance for Needy High School Music Programs, Bands, etc. - Special Needs Both for Disable and High Achievers - Library and Media Training and Experience - Educational Field Trips - Other:" Janice M. Jones, Precinct 5, offered an amendment to decrease Line Item 17 in the amount of $2,600 and increase Line Item 60 - Public Safety, to be used for a crossing guard at the corner of Walnut Street and Red Gate Lane. Both of these motions were defeated. Michael M: Guenther, Precinct 3, requested that a roll call vote be taken on the amendment to reduce Line Item 87 by $486,000 (Trash Fee). A Yes.vote would reduce the line item, and a no vote would leave the line unchanged.
