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