April 8, 1992
7:45 p.m. Meeting called to order in the parking lot of the
Municipal Light Department as the Committee was unable to gain
access to the building. Members then proceeded to the Conference
Room to continue the meeting once the building was unlocked.
Members present: Jack Russell, George Theophanis, Dolores
Carroll and Ed Murphy, serving as acting Chairman.
Phil Pacino asked Ed to convey a conversation he had with the
FinCom who voted 6-0 NOT to recommend Article 8. They felt there
would be a potential conflict between the FinCom and the Capital
Improvement Advisory Committee and that a subcommittee of the
FinCom be established rather than a separate standing committee.
George moved that we make an instructional motion to the FinCom
to form a Capital Improvement Subcommittee to report to FinCom
on the Town's capital improvement program and all warrant articles
relating to capital expenditures.
On motion of George Theophanis, seconded by Jack Russell, the
Committee voted 4-0 NOT to recommend Article 8.
Discussion then turned to Article 10 with the Committee agreeing
that there are many nuances which are unclear, and we do not want
to give up Town Meeting's perogative when the pay back is undefined.
On motion of Dolores Carroll, seconded by George Theophanis, the
Committee voted 4-0 NOT to recommend Article 10.
After reviewing Article 2 of the Special Town Meeting Warrant,
the Committee felt that since the Early Retirement Bill has
yet to pass, on motion of George Theophanis, seconded by Jack
Russell, it was voted 4-0 NOT to recommend Article 2 as of
April 8.
Minutes of Meeting #198 were read and accepted, as corrected,
by a vote of 3-0, with one abstention.
9:20 p.m. Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Dolores S. Carroll
