#2. REVENUE PLAN
Mr. Mauceri reviewed the FY2010 Revenue Plan. He made the following adjustments: deletion of $100,000 from the Solid Waste Stabilization Fund. Mr. Mauceri summarized available revenues. The amount available for municipal services is $11,559,973 and $22,352,344. Mr. Mauceri proposed these budget actions be considered for FY2010: 1) Modify insurance to match benefits of costs of the GIC; 2) freeze salaries and step increases; 3) adjust expense increases to available funds "no across the board" elimination of services or programs, level fund health insurance at FY2009 levels. He noted that failure to control the increase in health insurance costs and freeze wages and steps will result in a corresponding reduction in services and employee layoffs.
