B. Personnel policies – No motion
Ms. Menard detailed that quite awhile ago a consultant was paid to do policies for personnel – but none were adopted. Ms. Menard has had challenging scenarios where if a policy is in place it would be helpful – in order to start that – thought small step at a time – as something comes in to be addressed, she will put policy together, check it against the union to make sure it is not in conflict with union – pass it by bos and then by attorney to determine legality and start policy making that way. These policies are drafted, just never finalized. To start one at time, it will be a helpful process and get the ball rolling in this direction. She wanted to let the Selectmen know of her intent to begin this process as they may start seeing some personnel policy
provisions on future agendas.
C. Renewal of Town Property Leases/2-years – No motion
Ms. Menard detailed the Leases historically and now they will all be set to renew on April 18. The First Selectmen’s office pulled all leases and made sure all prices were in line and everyone was equally treated. Now process will be renew once every two years and all are renewed at the same time making it easy to keep track of. This for the board’s information – any problems with them. Mr. Simmons mentioned the Park and Recreation discussions on the impact of farming on the water quality of reservoir. Ms. Menard referred to the second page of Kogut lease – there will be an agreement to cover pesticides – and she detailed specifically how the testing will occur and who will monitor the testing.

MOTION: To authorize the tax refunds in the amount of 2,400.86, as recommended by the Tax Collector.
Made by Mr. Hayes, Seconded by Mr. Farrell
ALL MEMBERS IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED.
Budget Discussion
Board of Selectmen recommendation to the Board of Finance
The following Board of Finance members came up to join the selectmen at the table for this discussion: Noreen Farmer, Chairman, Jason Bowsza, Kathy Pippin, Marie DeSousa, Jack Manette, Robert Little and Mary Szabo, Treasurer
Ms. Menard presented to the Board of Finance with a narrative containing all of the budget workshop minutes - condensed into one document that was in order by account number (the bolded part is the guts of what BOS decided); the Treasurer’s spread sheet with the Selectmen recommendations entered in; and the Summary of the spread sheet (cautioning that although it appears that the numbers are the same in the detail and the summary – they are assuming the numbers coincide) The summary looks to be the correct and that is the figure used by the Selectmen. Ms. Menard also presented the BBFD response to the BOF/BOS request, back up on the town property account which presents a clear picture for what entails purchase services and facility.
Ms. Menard detailed that at this early stage the Board is working in vacuum as they do not know the revenue side. She requested patience with this board as it is a freshman year doing this budget. The Board of Selectmen worked hard to be fair, knowing that Board of Finance would be looking at it again.
Except for one instance the Board did not touch the benefit pieces as that is what the Treasurer calculates. Ms. Menard also stated that if some recommendations are not under the auspice of the Board of Selectmen, it was not the intent to over step, again it is this board’s first time doing this process.
Ms. Menard inquired what the Board of Finance wished for her to present to them, a quick or detailed overview of the Selectmen recommendations. Noreen Farmer good to give general overview about increase in segments and thoughts on segments.
Ms. Menard stated the Selectmen looked at all budgets again. The selectmen were comfortable with Selectmen budgets as presented, so not many changes were made to the selectmen or town counsel budgets.
Town counsel was no change but the Board did address a question about the $20,000 for Assessor, $20,000 for contracts and split it out as two boards had discussed.. The auditor was not for the Selectmen to review; no recommendation was made as to the treasurer’s office as the Selectmen were not present for the presentation. Town clerk – originally when discussing this item, the Selectmen recommended 5% to full time salaries to bring into equity what was underpaid. However, looking at again, the Selectmen realized one person was a union position, so town clerk full time salary recommended 5% and union negotiated so stayed the same. In the Assessor the Selectmen recommended putting $50K for contracted service; Tax collector same as recommended, except communications.
Upon inquiry, Ms. Farmer indicate that communications going to be out of every budget.
Ms. Farmer indicated that Board of Finance will pull out communications from every department and putting them into one account – so next year it will be one account under Selectmen budget. It is the intent to get all communications under selectmen office monitored as a whole so individual departments do not do it – more prudent to have communications as separate entity. The Board of Finance will do that thru the budget process – those numbers will be tweaked as Ms. Menard works on them. It was discussed putting the radios communication piece be within that as well as it ended up in public safety and it is a grey area as to whose responsibility it is. If all communications are in one slot, then the Selectmen can monitor. The Public Safety does not have the responsibility to
monitor that, so it is thought that will be incorporated into the Selectmen’s office for review.
Most of Board’s and commissions did not have a change. For the Registrars the Selectmen did not recommend 3% increase but did understand need for more part time due to presidential elections in November.
Town Property has the $50,000 which came out of the CIP and put into town property as on going town maintenance rather than consider capital improvements. Ms. Menard referenced her back up which explained the segments of the town property line. An example of the segments would be. There is quite a bit to do for ongoing maintenance and repair – the Board cut purchase services by $10,000 thinking some might fall into Facility repair now.
Ms. Menard confirmed the adjustment was made in the CIP, taking the $50,000 out.
The Selectmen went along with the EDC request as they felt it was important for future commercial growth to provide balance in tax base and invest some money there.
1124 Town Planner – There is no contract for the ZEO and that position was filled by an agreement for her salary, but no contract signed. K. Bednaz is an at will employee. The Board of Finance inquired as to the precedence that will be set for financing the education. There is no contract. The Treasurer indicated in past the Town has paid $500 per semester because was negotiated thru contract. It was mentioned that it seems every non union position piggy backs off union contracts and more. The only thing there is an offer letter.
Ms. Farmer detailed part of confusion is Lori Whitten was clear ZEO has offered to follow contract. The Boards discussed a contract where the town details reimbursement and spell out employment specifics, similar to the Assessor. Mr. Manette noted the Town can even do individual letter that addresses the education piece that says we will pay for this, but the Town wants this in return. Ms. Menard stated the board has not had time to do that.
Mr. Hayes stated the Town is getting great services from the current ZEO. He is the liaison for that board the ZEO commands a lot of respect. Ms. DeSousa made it clear this is not about the individual – it is about policy and procedure and going forward. Ms. Farmer understands looking into the future for benefit of town – but on finance side need to look at what is fair and equitable for town and what door is being opened – where other people who work town not under contract that state they want to go to education. Ms. Farmer stressed that it is important to create ongoing policies for these types of issues with employees.
The 5% increase were first selectmen and town clerk and both were done as equity adjustments due to surveys done showing those were out of sink with surround areas, not merit raises – they are truly just equity raises. Mr. Hayes indicated back up was provided for First Selectmen of surrounding towns. He also made it clear Ms. Menard was not involved in that research or recommendation.
Ms. Menard detailed for the Building Department it was recommended funding five weeks instead of ten – covers three weeks vacation and $40 an hour, did not have a basis if that was a fair representation of the cost. The Board did not have a lot a lot of time to do the research on that on the hourly rate. Mr. Stanley submitted that, assumed building inspector would know an appropriate rate - it would be helpful if he could provide where that figure came from.
Senior Transportation – Ms. Menard detailed because old van that was biggest repair item, it was felt monies could be removed from the repair line - now only maintain and repair four.
Ms. Menard indicated that the Charter and Ethics Committees are together for secretarial – as charter revision done again, that is why it is increased.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Hearing Officer – Ms. Menard will research who this is and what the process is. It was inquired if the Police Department is issuing tickets.
The Selectmen felt adding a dispatcher was an appropriate move, freeing up officer’s time and coming in place with statutes. Ms. Farmer noted police officers are certified dispatchers so the Town is covered statutorily. But an officer covering dispatch is done at higher rate of pay.
2147 Communication System. – Public Safety committee met same night as BOS workshop, this committee has had difficulty getting a quorum and finally did. They recommended $6,000 – they have $17,000 in radios not spent. They wanted to ask for $30,000 in equipment – radios, warrantees, etc. Ms. Menard indicated that was not very specific. The budget recommended is $6,000 for maintenance and phone by the tower – a large chunk of money is for Tolland Dispatch. This committee wants to take out the $6,000 and add $30,000 – Ms. Menard will forward that info on to the Board of Finance. The Selectmen are recommending that it stays where it is – as there is still money unspent this year.
2150 BBFD – Ms. Menard indicated that at the Selectmen workshop the night before she got called away during the discussion for this item. Ms. Menard is on board what is recommended but she cannot speak to reasoning. Mr. Farrell led this discussion
Mr. Farrell stated what the Selectmen did BBFD gave good presentation in the book including past performance. Over last five years BBFD have had success of turning in budget less than proposed. Ed referenced proposed versus actual – approx. 8.4% less than they asked for. Ms. Menard indicated what they got is what they lived within.
This formula brings the amount down to $219,405.
The Board did not get the same kind of information from WHPFD – but did same arithmetic with their proposal. Noted the incorrect number on sheet – please correct it to a Selectmen recommendation of $273,179.
Ms. Farmer noted that when BBFD brought up she had not heard back from them regarding the Boards request for audited financial June 30, 2007. The First Selectman and the Chairman will send a joint request.
Ms. Menard if there are issues to discuss and work on together – the BOS is willing to do it jointly rather than the Board of Finance doing it alone.
Ms. DeSousa inquired if the Board of Selectmen took into consideration that Warehouse Point Fire has paid fire marshal that Broad Brook Fire does not have one. Mr. Farrell, no just simple arithmetic.
2160 The town relies on the Water Company figures for the hydrants, not the fire departments. There was a question about the amount – originally the Board of Selectmen had been told 13% water company increase and there was, but not for municipalities.
Ms. Menard indicated the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management were last items discussed by the Board before they ran out of time. Warehouse Point Fire Marshall raise was discussed. Ms. Menard stated that Warehouse Point person does large industrial buildings –
Fire Benefits - $210,000 request was cut to the $180,000.
$30,000 Annuities for this piece needs to be investigated and researched and the Board of Finance needs to be provided with the specifics. No one knows the details – how are the registered – who gets the monies? Ms. Farmer indicated it would be important to find out the details – as currently it is an annual annuity with no details. This might fall as a charge for the Public Safety committee. Ms. Menard will locate that within her office and find the detail.
Ms. DeSousa noted that for the Incentive Program – the Board is not able to find the original agreements for the program. It was brought to attention that it was originally intended that what ever money allocated for year, once year over, anything unpaid is a moot point – they don’t get it. She cannot find the original minutes to meetings. She would like to have that information before April 7. Ms. Menard indicated that was a specific committee for that – the First Selectmen’s office will research the origin of that committee.
PUBLIC WORKS
Ms. Menard detailed that the Public Works Director asked if Selectmen would be discussing the request for two additional people and Ms. Menard indicated that there was no request. He stated he had been asking for a while – and she stated it is not in his budget proposal and so it was not put forward. Mr. Norton is aware of that. Salary is town crew, not Director/Engineer.
Ms. Farmer received some back up on street signs. She will call Mr. Norton to inquire how many do we have, how many do we need, how many are left to get?
Treasurer indicated tomorrow the numbers will be entered into the detail so it matches the summary. It may not be available tomorrow. Revenues are the focus of tomorrow’s meeting – but worksheets will be available next week.
PLEASE NOTE: There were issues with the selectmen recommendation numbers with the public works department and the building department. It was understood that due to mathematical calculations, those figures may vary and the Selectmen may have to amend their recommendation to incorporate the correct numbers, as set forth in a calculated spread sheet.
The Engineer salary is drawn out of the one account.
Ms. Menard spoke regarding the trash collection and disposal. The recommendation reflects 3% for collection, knowing thru the end of December 3% - she is talking with the hauler to try to extend the contract. Not sure of success prices have gone up significantly. Contract negotiations have gone back and forth. Disposal CRRA has gone up. The Treasurer will have specifics as to what has been paid for hazardous waste disposal.
Ms. Menard detailed that the Ambulance has one more year on the contract. This will be reviewed by the First Selectmen after the budget crunch.
Ms. Menard discussed the Warehouse Point Library and referenced the selectmen work regarding that budget and discussions with a library board member for projected revenues numbers. Ms. Menard advised the BOF specifically of what the revenue figures were based on what Ms. Speilberg told the Board. Going forward the library will provide projected revenues in the budget. The Selectmen explained their rationale for the increase, which followed paralleling the library endowment contribution.
Ms. Menard stated for Parks and Recreation the Selectmen recommendation is not to fund a full time person, but rather increase part time help – this is the one place where the Selectmen removed from the benefit section. The Boards discussed that something to be looked at in the future is who covers what for ground keeping as it seems to. The benefits reduction was explained to the Treasurer – she explained that there is other benefit stuff to be addressed as well.
It was reiterated the Treasurer office restates and recalculates all of these items as they are entered into the master detail spreadsheet, specifically references employee benefits.
Ms. Menard understood $50,000 taken out and put to legal. The Board did want to lose sight of the retirement pay out so added funds to contingency. Treasurer indicated that pay out is calculated into another part of the budget. The Selectmen knew this is the BOF portion, but looked at it. Contingency at $200,000.
Ms. Menard detailed the Historical increase involving funding the obligation of the contract
Ms. Menard read the very specific detail from the hand out on the Selectmen workshops regarding the Board of Education and the selectmen’s recommendation.
Discussion took place regarding the Cemetery Association and the Selectmen thoughts on unconventional approaches with this line item. It was suggested that the Selectmen meet with the Association to have an agreement in place as to what the Town gets for the budget amount. Mr. Manette detailed that in beginning the Town contributed to this Association as a means of support as had it no money. It was felt the income of this Association needs to be investigated and answers sought. Ms. Farmer stated there is a letter she will give to the Board of Finance on this Association as well. Ms. Farmer indicated that the BOS is responsible for policy making. Ms. Farmer was not sure the BOF can do the quarterly payment. General discussion took place as to if there is a difference between
assistance to cemetery and library working off endowment – the library is also a service. Ms. DeSousa stated when you go to library you do not have to pay for the books; when you go to cemetery you pay for everything ,including perpetual care – so paying for lawn care, when paying for perpetual care, seems like double dipping. Mr. Farrell land bought not owned by the town – corporation owns. It was mentioned there are total assets that exceed $600,000.
Ms. Farmer stated this needs to be discussed during the year.
CIP – explained that this was a large challenge – the Webster bank spreadsheet and the Treasurer worksheets did not match. The treasurer disagreed and that will be figured out over time. She explained everything as set forth in the Selectmen write ups.
There was extensive discussion on this items, when it was determined the Board of Selectmen were working from different sheets than the Board of Finance currently had. In summary, referencing the final sheet from 20th per the Board of Finance the additional items removed per board of Selectmen recommendations were the:
WHPFD Engine 238
50K for study
Assessor Reval 50K
Five minute recess. Reconvened at 928
The discussion regarding Selectmen recommendations for removal of CIP items is detailed as follows:
Ms. Menard stated the WHPFD replacement vehicle monies removed. The Selectmen had significant discussion and felt that if in such bad shape and so desperately needed rather than CIP – should be out of CIP and added as possible short term bond. They felt there was not enough back up to detail what the cost was or what the specs were.
When it was mentioned, Ms. Menard stated she did not know about any agreement last year not buy another big truck until paid BB truck off. Not having that information, the Selectmen felt it seemed prudent to take out and put into proposed bonding.
Ms. Menard reminded the Finance Board of her caution at the start of the meeting this is a new Board of Selectmen who are not privy to the agreements made and reasons for doing things in the past. These are Board of Selectmen recommendations – again as newer board and not knowing all nuances of budget – the Board of Finance can change recommendation. Ms. Farmer elaborated that if it is the intent to put the requested truck into bonding situation – everyone needs to understand there are costs associated – so bonding has effect on operating cost of budget. Ms. Menard indicated the Selectmen are recommending it be taken out but that is not to say Board of Finance cannot say - that’s a crazy idea - and put back in.
Mr. Farrell no response from memo from WHPFD – so if want a fire truck, give the boards details with how to work with them. Mr. Manette noted that when the fire departments gave recommendation for original truck the combined analysis to the BOF. Ms. Farmer gave a history of this item and indicated there was joint presentation to CIP and BOF last year or so – of the fire departments co-mingling equipment – it was a full plan presented in full force room of firefighters. The decision was made because of joint presentation it ended up and because working so good together for first time – the five year plan was great – and thus the bonding would look into the bonding. Everyone thought was great – at the time of the town meeting for this –
Warehouse Point Fire stood up and said they were not part of it and claimed not to know what had happened, in the meantime the money for bonding BBFD truck was spent for bond – as well as for a piece of equipment for Public Works/WPCA and the high school boiler. At that time WHPFD stood up at the meeting and said they never agreed to that. So BOF has asked for more information – and not received it and in fact are no longer getting any information on anything from WHPFD. That is background – part of agreement with joint plan – we will bond truck and start to put away money, so over five year course save for the other. Ms. Farmer is concern that Board of Selectmen minutes imply that truck will be bonded.
Ms. Farmer indicated there is a possibility that this may happen if specific information is provided it will be considered, it is not set firm this will happen. Ms. Menard indicated this is the Board of Selectmen recommendation – if the BOF feels it should be in CIP – that is their initiative.
The ownership and title for the trucks with the Department were discussed. Who holds title for trucks? Not too many on town inventory – the new truck will be on the town’s inventory. If the plan is to revert to five year plan, what do for CIP? Per Mr. Manette this WHPFD funding aside would not start for two years. So the $550,000 could be divided by three years. The BOF can make the decision as what might be appropriate for planning out on this idea.
Ms. Farmer indicated even if money is allocated, it will accumulate while throughout the years while the specifics are gathered.
Ms. Menard suggested that if there are issues that need to be revisited by both boards, she invited them to enter discussion with the board, as time frames permit.
After Ms. Menard finished her presentation Ms. Farmer wanted everyone present to bear in mind the Selectmen recommendation does not include any salary increases and no revenues done yet either.
Mr. Manette thanked the board for their effort. Ms. Farmer indicated that the salary increases are going to drive up substantially and she outlined the history of getting a budget passed and the worries of the budget process and the plan that needs to be in place if the budget fails at referendum. Ms. Menard stated that the revenue side is not there yet, so it is unknown what the balance will be. It was the Selectmen’s intention was to take a first stab at this – to clean it up some for BOF so they Board of Finance can take the next go at it. Ms. Menard stated the Boards are all in this together and they will stand together at the end of the day and support what BOF does as this is not an individual budget, but joint. The Selectmen understand this is the first step in a long process. The Selectmen welcome the Board of Finance, if needed, to come back for further explanation and further discussion and Ms. Menard suggested a joint tackling of this task. Ms. Farmer wants
everyone to be aware – there was an exceptionally low mill rate and it got turned down because people don’t look at it – only what they can expect as an increase as tax payers. Those voting against it do not see what money is for, but see high spending and are on the negative for the budget. Ms. Farmer is hoping when revenue numbers are run it will allow the Board to move forward in a lot of respects – but wants everyone to bear in mind that that spending increase will not be taken well.
MOTION: To revise the Motion made at the workshop prior to this meeting which stated: To recommend to the Board of Finance a 2008/2009 budget grand total of $33,018,418, which represents an increase of 8.02% over the 2007/2008 budget with the following conditions: this recommendation is subject to the numbers in the budget detail being verified, it is understood that there will be contractual increases to the clerical and police salaries subject to ongoing contract negotiations; the revenue pieces are to be calculated in future meetings; and this number is subject to confirmation by the Treasurer after calculating mathematical inconsistencies.
