May 5, 2009 6:30 p.m.
Present: Board of Selectmen: Chairman E. Bernard Plante, Joseph F. Coggans, Jr., Kenneth I. Schold, Francis B. King, Brian W. Stowell.
Robert Spain, Town Manager, Brian Turbitt, Finance Director.
Chairman Plante opened the meeting
Discussion regarding the article on the fire truck and how the Selectmen and the Fire Chief have made an agreement to postpone it until next year as the library debt exclusion will be finished. Selectman Coggans noted that we are still awaiting funds from Congressman Neal’s office.
There will have to be another Town Meeting, possibly June 23 only for things that need to be changed on this warrant.
School Committee, Superintendent Hitchcock and Rick Bedard entered at 6:47 p.m.
Chairman of the School Committee Jane Pojani stated that they wanted the savings from the insurance to be included in the budget amount. She believes that the Finance Committee is not adhering to an agreement to change the budget before Town Meeting.
Mr. Spain said that they had a meeting on March 27 with Brian Turbitt, Superintendent Hitchcock and Rick Bedard in which they agreed not to put the number in because they did not know what it would be and they would change it at the Special Town Meeting.
Finance Committee Chairman O’Connor came in to reiterate that an agreement between the Selectmen and the School Committee saying that the insurance savings would go towards reducing layoffs was made and they could not change numbers the night of Town Meeting.
Motion to adjourn made by Selectman King at 7:20 p.m., seconded by Selectman Schold.
Motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Tish Hayes
