1. Secretary's Report
Mr. Amon moved, Mr. Fuller seconded, and it was unanimously voted to accept
the Secretary's minutes of the March 2, 1993 Trustees Meeting.
2. Finance Committee Review and Change of Cemetery Budget
The Finance Committee meeting of March 3, 1993 was attended by Chairman Miller,
Mr. Silvaggi, Mr. Driscoll and Director Keating. The details of the meeting
were reviewed, with the recommendation by the Finance Committee to delete the
$16,077 from the General Fund for the Cemetery Budget resulting in a zero appro-
priation from the General Fund.
3. Revised Budget
Director Keating presented revisions in his budget to compensate for the loss
of $16,077 from the General Fund. This included decreasing the Capital Outlay
from $10,000 to $7,800. The supply budget was dropped from $31,250 to $26,075.
Director Keating furnished a proposed revision in certain fees which would increase
the annual income by approximately $12,000. After a discussion relative to means
of balancing the budget it was agreed to accept Mr. Keating's proposed reductions
in his budget.
On a motion by Mr. Fuller, seconded by Mr. Driscoll, it was voted to increase the
fees approximately $12,000 effective July 1, 1993 on a vote of three to one.
4. Publication of New Fees
Chairman Miller was requested by the Trustees to have a paid notice published in
the Reading Chronicle outlining the new fee schedule, necessitated by the lack
of a appropriation from the General Fund.
5. Next Meeting
The next scheduled meeting will be April 6, 1993. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 P.1
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel Driscoll, Secretary
