A
Educational
programming
to
the
school
department
goal
one
was
to
present
a
balanced
budget.
There's
no
increase
in
the
appropriation
from
the
town.
It's
going
to
be
level
funded
from
2018
and
remained
at
57
million,
plus
the
fiscal
year.
2019
budget
is
balanced
with
an
increase
from
fiscal
year,
2018
of
1.5
percent.
A
A
Oh
I'm
sorry
goal
two:
compliance
with
ope
and
pension
contributions,
state
pension,
14
percent
increase
ope
will
be
decreased,
approximately
200
000
dollars
based
on
actuarial
valuation
and
the
municipal
pension
will
have
a
four
percent
increase
goal.
Three
consideration
of
future
budgets:
fiscal
year,
2019
budget,
developed,
keeping
in
mind
expenses
in
upcoming
years
goal
four
support:
educational
programming
in
the
school
department.
A
A
These
accomplishments
not
only
reflect
the
great
work
being
done
in
the
school
department
and
our
continued
commitment
to
the
revalidation
of
the
town.
It
sheds
a
positive
light
on
the
town
of
west
warwick
as
being
in
innovative
and
progressive
realizing.
The
town
continues
to
be
in
need
of
support
from
the
school
department.
The
school
department
budget
proposes
level
funding.
Once
again,
the
school
department
has
come
committed
to
the
helping
in
the
town's
fiscal
recovery
efforts,
as
demonstrated
over
the
past
several
years.
A
B
C
B
That's
come
to.
Our
attention
is-
and
I
know
angelo
addressed
this-
the
other
day
was
sodexo,
possibly
dumping,
lunches
out.
If
the
kid
doesn't
have
enough
money
or
whatever
or
taking
stuff
away,
do
we
have
any
type
of
funding
or
anything
like
that
to
help
those
kids,
because
yeah.
E
D
And
it's
been
very
much
topical
conversation
in
the
past
couple
of
weeks
and
as
recent
as
today,
we've
been
talking
about
just
that
how
to
support
students
in
every
way,
including
lunch.
So
we
will
have
some
recommendations
from
the
high
school
and
sodexo
met
today,
as
a
matter
of
fact
to
to
address
just
that
problem.
Does
that
happen?
D
F
G
The
accusation
was
against
a
lunch
lady
and
I
guess
I
don't
know
who
it
is.
I
stopped
commenting
when
it
started
getting
crazy
and
I
heard
you
were
involved
and
I
said,
listen.
I
want
facts
before
I
even
say
another
word
and
from
what
I'm
I'm
understanding,
it's
not
one,
two
three
or
four
different
people.
It's.
D
Can
say
is
that
I
don't
know
that.
That's
not
come
to
my
attention
that
it's
happened,
but
we
do
address
any
concerns
that
do
come
to
our
attention.
B
D
I
D
G
D
D
J
J
Well,
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
that
I'm
not
unaware
of
the
financial
situation
in
the
town,
the
current
financial
situation,
but
this
is,
after
all,
the
one
time
during
the
year
when
I
get
to
address
all
of
you
and
anybody
else
who
may
be
listening
about
the
importance
of
the
library
and
the
importance
of
adequate
funding
for
the
library.
J
So
I
will
soldier
on
the
library
cost
the
town
relatively
very
little,
as
you
know,
we're
less
than
one
percent
of
the
budget.
We
never
go
over
budget,
not
many
surprises
no
overtime
at
the
library.
We
don't
have
a
capital
line
in
the
town
budget.
We
take
care
of
our
own
capital
through
grants,
some
grant
funding,
and
after
50
years
we
can
count
on
one
hand
the
number
of
library
employees
who
are
collecting
a
pension,
but
the
town
gets
a
tremendous
return
on
its
investment.
J
We
coordinate
closely
with
west
warwick
schools
in
providing
after-school
arts,
health
and
science
programs
for
youth
and
teens.
We
have
continuing
education
for
adults
and
seniors.
We
provide
workshops
and
small
business
development,
citizenship
and
english
language,
training,
workshops
and
well
computer
classes.
J
One
of
my
jobs
as
director
is
to
seek
out
that
support
in
sponsorships
collaborations
partnerships
grants
and,
most
importantly,
what
I'm
doing
here
before
you
now
advocating
for
the
library
in
our
annual
budget
this
year.
For
my
budget
narrative,
I
provided
you
the
chart
of
our
appropriate
appropriation
history
for
the
last
20
years,
because
just
a
glance
provides
you
with
most
of
what
I'm
going
to
address
tonight.
You've
seen
this
before,
but
I'll
ask
you
to
take
a
look
at
it
now.
J
J
J
J
Last
year
I
provided
the
council
with
data
and
graphs
illustrating
how
library
staff
is
the
lowest
paid
in
the
state
by
a
significant
significant
amount
and
how
that
affects
the
recruitment
and
retention
of
our
staff.
We
don't
can't
afford
a
family
medical
plan
at
the
library,
which
complicates
things
even
further.
J
Another
is
we're
just
four
hours
from
achieving
our
goal
of
being
open,
60
hours
a
week,
which
is
the
state
minimum
standard
for
the
population
of
west
ward.
Once
we
get
to
60,
we
don't
have
to
apply
for
a
state
waiver
anymore,
but
we've
come
as
far
as
we
can
without
hiring
another
full-time
staff.
Member
we're
entering
into
negotiations
with
the
teamsters
this
year,
who
represent
our
full-time
staff.
J
The
unit
hasn't
had
an
agreement
since
2013
and
we
have
absolutely
no
wiggle
room
in
our
current
budget
costs
for
doing
business,
medical
costs,
utilities,
materials,
virtually
every
kind
of
cost-
has
gone
up
way
up
since
o203,
so
we've
had
to
cut
back
to
the
bone
and
there's
no
place
further
to
go.
J
J
J
So
finally
there's
another
reason
for
asking
for
the
additional
funds
this
year.
It's
because
it
would
be
irresponsible
for
me
not
to
I'm
responsible
not
only
to
the
board
and
to
the
dedicated
staff
of
our
library,
but
to
all
the
west
warwick
residents
who
find
in
our
library
a
valuable
destination
and
a
resource
that
helps
to
enhance
the
quality
of
life
in
our
town.
J
B
B
B
You
have
job
recruitments
there,
and
not
only
that
the
assets
of
the
books,
the
computers
and
a
lot
of
children
in
our
community
don't
have
the
ability
to
have
internet
at
home
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
they
have
to
go
to
the
library
or
their
internet's
down
that
day
and
they
have
to
use
utilize.
The
library
seniors
reading
day
for
children
there's
just
so
much
that
goes
on
there.
That.
B
Keeps
the
town
and
the
library
vibrant,
so
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
your
budget.
I
really
don't
it's
feasible.
I
know
one
thing
we
talked
about
last
year:
you
have
individuals
who
are
master
degrees,
making
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
I
can
tell
you
right
now,
they're,
probably
paying
for
that
college
with
that.
B
With
that
rate,
to
be
honest
with
you,
so
you
know,
and
one
thing
I've
said
right
along
right
now,
we're
in
arbitration
and
it's
been
awarded
for
the
police
department
to
get
a
raise,
and
I
honestly
feel
the
same
way
is:
if
we're
given
one,
we
we
can't
give
not
give
others,
and
we
have
to
figure
a
way
out
to
do
that,
also
getting
back
up
to
60
hours
a
week.
I
personally
feel
you
know
that
library
needs
to
be
open
60
hours
a
week.
J
K
D
K
J
It
is
quite
a
bit,
I
think,
partially
it's
due
to
be
being
open
some
extra
hours,
but
that
doesn't
account
for
nearly
that
amount
of
people
coming
in.
I
think
we've
really
upped
the
programming.
We've
we've
more
than
doubled
the
amount
of
programs
we
have
at
the
library.
So
a
lot
of
people
are
coming
in
about
60
people
a
week
come
in
from
job
club
about
30
people
come
in
for
the
week
for
our
senior
exercise
program,
our
senior
tech
club
has
about
20
people
coming
in
every
week.
J
We
have
a
number
of
programs
where
people,
just
it's
dropped
their
drop
in
programs
where
they
can
come
in
so
also.
I
think
our
general
profile
has
been
elevated
in
in
the
community.
J
Honestly,
I
think
in
part
it's
because
we
never
had
any
signage
out
there
for
for
for
years
and
now,
finally,
we
were
able
to.
We
had
a
little
extra
money
from
the
grant
to
put
in
the
new
windows
and
we
were
able
to
ask
the
champlet
foundations
if
we
could
use
that
money
for
some
signage
and
they
agreed
that
it
was
okay.
So
now
we
have
good
signage
outside.
In
front
of
the
building
on
the
building,
we've
upped
up
our
marketing
efforts
just
locally
in
the
newspapers,
our
our
newsletter,
our
online
presence.
J
Yeah
there's
a
counter
right
when
you
walk
through
the
door
and
right
on
the
security
gates.
J
G
B
Don't
use
this
as
an
example,
my
boss
spoke
very
highly.
He
utilized
the
job
club.
I
brought
this
up
three
years
ago,
he's
from
west
greenwich.
Unfortunately,
they
don't
have
that
program
up
in
west
greenwich
and
he
came
to
he.
He
drove
from
the
route
3
side
up
off
up
in
the
woods
over
on
that,
through
really
used
to
be
to
westwold
every
time
he
came
here
and
that
job
club
brought
him
in
with
cox,
communications
as
a
management
role
and
what's.
B
Again
they
utilized
it
and
you
could
be
right
on
that
angelo,
but
to
have
an
asset
like
that
in
our
town.
No,
that's
not.
G
J
J
Tell
you
98
of
the
people
walk
through
that
door
was
work
residents.
We
do
have
some
programs
that
draws
people
from
in
from
other
places
because
they
are
act.
They
are
unique
in
the
state
and
we
actually
have
recognition
in
the
state
for
some
of
our
programs,
which
are
very
unique.
One
of
them,
which
is
is
job
club,
but
another
program
is,
is
our
esl
citizenship
program
that
draws
in
about
half
the
people
who
come
into
that
are
from
west
warwick.
J
There
are
people
from
30
40
different
countries
that
come
in.
We
have.
We
have
a.
We
have
an
attendance
at
in
those
programs
of
about
2
600
people
coming
in,
so
half
of
them
are
from
west
warwick,
the
other,
the
other
half
from
nearby
nearby
towns,
some
come
from
as
far
away
as
providence,
because
it's
known
as
a
very,
very
good
excellent
program.
My.
G
So
I
think
it's
a
little
worse
than
what
anybody's
trying
to
come
out
with,
because
I
think
it's
an
election
year,
but
I'm
a
straight
shooter
I'll,
tell
you
right
out
we're
in
trouble
over
six
million
dollars,
there's
no
way
out
of
it,
no
way
by
giving
extra
money
to
any
department,
and
I'm
a
true
believer.
If
police
and
fire
get
a
raise,
I
think
the
municipal
should
get
a
raise.
It's
either
all
or
none.
G
So
I.
G
G
G
J
I
understand
and
I
I
understand
what.
F
J
It
would,
it
would
have
to
be,
it
would
have
to
be
across
the
board,
for
it
would
wouldn't
be
a
a
raise.
It
would
be
a
salary
adjustment.
J
I
would
advocate
for
four
or
five
thousand
dollar
salary
adjustment
for
the
nine
full-time
people
plus
we
have
13
part-time
staff,
who
already
this
year,
we've
had
to
increase,
increase
their
salaries
up
to
minimum
wage,
some
of
them
at
least
half
of
them
up
to
minimum
wage
and
we're
expecting
minimum
wage
to
go
up
again
so
next
year.
So
it
would
be,
it
would
be
a
an
across-the-board
salary
adjustment
or
bump.
So.
F
F
Just
I
mean
looking
at
the
numbers:
if
you're
looking
at
5
000
across
the
board
say
from
31
000,
that's
a
pretty
significant
jump,
I'm
not
saying
it's
not
deserved
and
not
earned,
but
it's
a
huge
percent
increase
that
you
know
the
police
won
the
arbitration
they're
not
going
to
get
this
type
of
increase.
They
weren't
asking
for
this.
So
to
make
it
well
when
you.
B
B
F
My
next
question,
which
is
more
of
an
internal
question
ernie,
I
see
that
you
you.
I
know
you
didn't
make
many
cuts
in
the
budget.
I
went
through
the
budget
several
times,
which
is
your
call,
but
you
you
ended
up
cutting
this
one.
I'm
just
curious
as
to
why
right.
L
First
of
all,
I
would
say
that
I
would
agree
with
everything
that
was
said
about
the
value
of
libraries.
I've
been
on
a
tour
of
the
library,
it's
an
excellent
facility.
I've
been
there
as
a
patron.
It's
a
great
facility
with
libraries
and
such
agencies
like
that
they
have
the
ability
to
apply
for
grants
for
the
champlin.
L
Rhode,
island
foundation,
they
give
grants
on
all
kinds
of
things
to
help
bring
funds
in.
L
They
also
you
have
endowments
to
use
so
looking
at
that
agency,
I
felt
they
have
other
alternatives
that
they
may
explore.
That
was
reason.
I
believe
that
the
facility
is
a
a
truly
remarkable
facility.
I've
been
there,
the
programs
they
have
I've
been
there
as
a
just
a
regular
patron,
and
it
is
a
good
facility,
something
that
talent
should
be
very
proud
of,
but
that
was
the
rationale.
J
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
it
seems
like
I'm
asking
for
more
money
and
yeah,
and
I
am
of
course,
but
what
I'm
really
asking
for-
and
this
this
is
for
all
of
you
is-
is
a
restoration
of
balance.
It's
if
you
look
at
the
library
in
terms
of
of
other
departments
and
and.
J
F
J
There's
been
a
lot
of
confusion
over
the
years
about
the
library,
the
library
personnel
and
their
personnel
in
in
in
the
scheme
of
things
as
municipal
workers
and
whatever,
when
it
came,
became
time
for
the
library
to
join.
They
were
not
allowed
to
join
the
municipal
union,
so
we
had
to
join
the
teamsters
union.
J
J
So
so
what
I'm
asking
for
is,
like,
I
said,
a
restoration
of
balance.
It's
it's!
It's
not
a
lot
of
money
to
bring
us
up
at
least
to
the
bottom
of
the
playing
field.
Right
now,
we're
not
even
on
the
playing
field,
and
when
I
say
it's
a
house
of
cards
that
can
fall
apart.
If
I
lose
one
or
two
key
personnel
and
it's
they're
staying
on
because
they
love
this
town,
they
love
the
the
the
library
they
could
be
making
a
lot
more
money
elsewhere.
J
But
there's
a
lot.
That's
good!
That's
going
on
the
library
in
the
library
right
now
that
you
guys
don't
see
that
keeps
these
talented
people
there
and
it's
frustrating
for
me
not
to
be
able
to
compensate
them
to
the
extent
they
should
be
compensated
and
it
it's
frustrating
to
see
them,
lay
their
careers,
their
professional
careers
out
on
the
line
for
for
the
people
of
west
warwick
and
not
not
get
enough
compensation.
J
So
I
think
a
restoration
of
balance
is
is
called
for
if
not
this
year
because,
like
you
say,
angelo
we're
in
deep
doo-doo
right
now,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
50
000
can
be
found
anywhere
by
any
of
you.
But
if
it
can,
it
would
be
much
appreciated.
I.
K
I
just
like
to
comment,
you
know-
and
I've
said
this
before
you
know
when
it
comes
to
any
of
our
employees,
whether
it's
the
library,
the
fire,
the
police,
I
personally
believe
and-
and
this
is
not
to
get
into
an
argument
over
what
we
don't
have
right
now,
but
you
do
have
to
be
aware
of
you
know
the
other
side
of
this.
You
know
obviously
we're
we're
in
a
major
financial
mess
right
now,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
want
to.
K
As
I
said
before,
we
don't
want
to
lose
our
our
ability
to
compete
with
other
cities
and
towns.
Here's
a
situation
where
people
with
master's
degrees
and
as
you
acknowledge
it's
it's
almost
an
insult.
It's
embarrassing
what
we're
paying
these
people
and
we're
gonna
start
losing
people
we're
losing
people
from
our
police
force,
we're
gonna
start
losing
the
library.
These
are
valuable
resources.
So
it's
kind
of
like
where
you
don't
wanna
bite
off
your
nose,
despite
your
face,
so
you
know.
K
Obviously,
we
have
major
financial
issues
that
we
do
have
to
tend
to
and
difficult
decisions
have
to
be
made,
but
we
will
be
giving
some
raises
this
year.
Personally,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
give
50
000.
I
think
just
you
know
as
a
show
of
good
faith
that
maybe
even
half
should
be
considered,
so
they
don't
get
a
five
thousand
dollar
raise.
Maybe
they
get
a
two
thousand
dollar
raise.
It's
just
my
personal
opinion.
D
K
K
K
J
G
D
M
M
Mr
council,
president,
council
members,
you
can
see
by
looking
at
the
planning
budget,
we've
actually
reduced
the
budget
by
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
fifty
four
dollars.
Most
of
that
is
attributed
to
a
reduction
in
the
line
item
for
the
comprehensive
plan.
As
you
know,
the
last
couple
of
years
we've
been
working
on
the
comprehensive
plan
update
we're
almost
complete
with
that.
M
At
this
point
we
have
a
first
draft
that
has
been
finished,
we'll
be
forwarding
that
to
the
review
committee
and
the
planning
board,
and
at
some
point
hopefully
before
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
on
june
30th
we'll
be
forwarding
that
to
the
town
council
for
consideration
at
this
point,
there's
about
three
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
left
for
the
completion
of
the
comprehensive
plan
and
I've
carried
over
into
this
year's
budget
about
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
for
any
residual
cost
that
might
be
outstanding
in
the
plan,
including
printing
copies
of
the
plan.
M
Once
it's
adopted,
that's
the
major
change
in
the
budget.
If
you
look
in
last
year's
budget,
I
think
the
comprehensive
plan
cost
was
carried
in
supplies
and
expenses
at
eight
thousand
five
hundred
dollars,
whereas
the
prior
year
there
was
actual
comp
plan
line
item,
so
we've
reduced
the
supplies
and
expenses
line
item
from
8
500
to
2500.,
and
I'm
thinking
by
the
end
of
this
year,
we'll
probably
be
returning
close
to
seven
or
eight
thousand
dollars
that
will
go
unspent
in
the
planning
department
budget
this
year.
M
B
D
B
M
27
right
very
quickly,
as
you
know,
the
building
official
has
been
out
on
a
long
long-term
leave.
Ernie
asked
me
if
I
would
take
over
some
of
the
duties
associated
with
the
building
department,
assisting
with
day-to-day
activities,
doing
zoning
and
building
interpretation
for
the
building
department.
Although
pm
does
a
pretty
good
job
at
that,
ernie
also
asked
me
to
take
a
look
at
the
budget.
M
I
went
over.
The
budget
pam
poulin
did
assist
me
in
that
task.
She
has
a
better
understanding
of
the
building
department
than
I
do,
although
I'm
a
little
more
fiscally
prudent
than
probably
most
people
you're
going
to
run
into.
So,
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
at
the
budget
last
year
over
this
year,
him
and
I
working
together
have
actually
reduced
that
budget
by
about
17
000
and
we
can
go
down
through
the
budget,
but
I
think
we're
looking
at
building
maintenance
as
a
reduction,
slight
reduction
supplies
and
expenses.
M
B
L
L
I
know
it's
on
our
website,
I
believe.
Well,
the
discussion
we
had
is
we've
posted
on
various
websites
like
indeed,
and
places
like
that.
L
Yes,
we
have.
The
building
official
from
coventry
is
working
with
us
part-time.
You
know
during
his
lunch
hours
and
any
leave
time
so
he's
handling
all
the
building
responsibilities,
whether
they
become
approving
permits,
which
you
can
do
online
doing
inspections
attending
meetings
as
needed,
so
he's
assisting
on
those
building
functions
in
the.
C
L
For
the
minimum
housing
officer
lee's,
which
I
think
is
thursday,
I've
asked
another
employee
who's
working
part-time,
who
has
got
some
experience
or
an
understanding
of
the
citation
issues
to
go
who's
our
recycling
coordinator
to
go
in
and
sit
with
the
million
minimum
housing
officer
and
learn
some
of
those
responsibilities
and
during
the
interim
period,
while
we
are
recruiting
for
a
full-time
position,
that
person
will
be
assisting
in
any
type
of
urgent
minimum
housing
needs
that
come
up.
So
so
that's
what
we're
doing
in
the
short
term.
L
Until
we
get
a
full-time
person
in
there.
B
H
H
H
B
H
H
F
H
F
G
B
D
G
N
I
could
talk
to
the
library
director
saying
that
they
have
an
organization,
friends
of
the
west,
warwick
library
that
do
fundraisers
and
also
help
apply
for
grants
and,
as
a
citizen
I
might
add,
for
school
department
commitment
without
an
increase
for
that
many
years.
That
is
unbelievable.
You
don't
see
that
anywhere.
N
I
just
yeah
I
was
looking.
I
got
your
fiscal
years
july
through
june.
I
was
wondering
why
some
of
the
actual
was
lower
than
I
had
really
I'm
just
here
to
talk
about
so-called
board
payroll.
We
don't
have
anything
really
to
do
with
the
tenants
affairs
board.
I
don't
even
know
why
it's
on
there.
N
I
might
add
that
the
tendency
of
fizz
board
is
really
an
anachronism,
although
it
was
established
under
around
general
law,
4525
the
city
and
also
referred
to
the
towns
that
was
when,
before
housing
authorities
had
any
advice,
but
now
we're
required
by
hud
to
have
resident
advisory
boards.
We
I
have
a
resident
advisory
board
at
the
housing
authority,
with
eight
residents,
four
from
the
manor
and
four
from
the
tower,
and
we
meet
on
a
quarterly
basis
or
soon
when
we're
doing
our
our
annual
plan.
N
I
also
meet
with
the
residents
open
meeting
once
a
month
at
both
developments,
take
spitballs
and
praise
and
everything
else
and
they
get
get
fatter
because
they
cook
all
this
food
and
make
me
eat
it.
But
so
I
just
said
you
could
consider
that
there,
the
tenants
affairs
board,
but
if
everyone
showed
up
now
we
have
a
larger
board.
We
have
seven
members,
all
good
members,
good
appointments.
N
If
they,
if
everyone
showed
up
to
every
meeting,
it
would
be
twenty
one
hundred
dollars
a
year.
Now
they
don't.
Our
average
attendant
is
around
90
percent
and
one
person
100,
all
the
others
miss
one
or
two
meetings,
very,
very
good
attendance
rate.
We
have
one,
commissioner,
who
I
think,
he's
on
another
commission
for
the
town,
which
means
you
can't
get
double
josh
barrett,
so
he
doesn't
pay.
So
it's
around
eighteen
hundred
dollars
a
year.
Everyone
showed
up
at
every
meeting
which
which
they
want.
B
Well,
I
think,
see
the
board.
The
tenant
affairs
is
bolder
right
and
broad
payroll
is
1800.
That's
right
on
the
money.
I
I
agree,
the
tenant
affairs
is
drastically
dropping
like
flies,
and
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
be
filling
those
positions
anytime
soon,
and
I
I
think
that
budget
item,
even
though
it's
where
it
should
be
if
everybody
show
up
to
every
meeting.
But
if
you
look
at
the
actual,
I
don't
see
an
actual
for
this
right
now,
I'm
not
even
sure
if
there
is
one
if
they
even
used
any
money,
because.
I
N
I
don't
know
about
voda,
but
I
know
for
the
housing.
It
says:
pay
board
payroll,
that's
for
the
housing
authority
and
the
tenants
affairs
board.
You
know
one
of
the
most
vocal
members
who
was
a
resident
at
the
at
the
wwe,
and
I
said
I'll
put
you
on
the
resident
advisory
board.
Now
we
don't
pay
them.
Maybe
I
could
give
them
a
little
sniping
but
save.
G
N
This
might
be
added
we're
having
our
annual
board
meeting
april
17th
in
the
evening
around
four
o'clock
and
you'll
be
getting
invitations
to
attend,
we'll
be
giving
a
presentation
in
the
last
previous
year,
all
our
key
matrix
metrics
rather
and
about
our
strategic
plan.
So
if
you're
gonna
attend
we'd
love
to
see
it.
Thank
you.
I
L
I
lighting
what
you'll
see
is
an
increase
in
street
lighting
to
be
more
reflective
of
really
what
the
actual
bills
are
right
now
actual
through
january,
31st
was
only
17
000
because
I
believe,
starting
in
october
I
haven't
paid
prison.
There
are
monthly
bills
we
held
back
on
those
because
of
poor
service
and
maintenance
of
the
streetlights.
L
The
public
can
call
in
lights
directly
if
there's
an
issue
with
streetlights,
and
we
just
didn't-
have
a
good
handle
on
it,
and
now
we've
been
provided
a
list
of
outstanding
issues
to
be
resolved.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
big
help
to
us
in
moving
to
resolve
any
type
of
outstanding
issues
we
have
so
the
maintenance
has
gotten
much
better,
not
perfect,
but
it's
much
better,
and
now
we
do
have
a
record
of
what
the
outstanding
issues
are,
so
we
can
continue
to
monitor
them
and
keep
track
of
them.
L
So
we
will
be
paying
these
bills,
but
they're
just
not
reflected
here.
So
we
have
the
monthly
bills
that
we
play
plus.
We
also
have
a
little
fund
there
for
installation
of
street
lights
or
repairing
lights.
L
B
I
L
L
L
The
services
that
we
have
today
currently
were
budgeted
for
the
19
budget,
so
there
are
no
decrease
of
services
here.
There
are
no
decrease
of
employees
here,
both
decrease
in
operational
items
or
a
decrease
in
employees
would
would
affect
some
level
of
service,
and
that's
not
what
the
intent
of
the
budget
was.
L
The
budget
was
intended
to
be
a
current
services
budget,
that
was
balanced,
revenues
and
expenses
are
appropriate,
and
if
that
budget
this
budget
was
adopted,
you
would
not
have
to
go
back
in
three
or
four
months
afterwards
and
revisit
it
for
having
any
type
of
structural
deficits.
The
budget
also
and
we'll
go
through
here
also
had
to
include
structural
deficits
that
were
in
18,
and
some
of
these
items
as
we'll
go
through,
had
to
be
increased
and
some
substantially
to
get
to
where
they
needed
to
be,
especially
like
liability,
insurance
and
workers
comp.
L
But
as
we
go
through
these,
we
certainly
will
discuss
them
and
open
up
for
questions
the
first
first
one
a
large
increase
for
severance
payments.
L
Last
year
we
budget
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
believe
this
year
kristen
it
may
be
over
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Maybe
more
next
year
we
budgeted
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
There
are
a
number
of
employees
that
can
retire
and
we've
referred
number
and
police
department
that
can
retire
and,
generally
speaking,
when
you
come
to
the
end
of
a
contract,
if
someone
is
close
to
retirement,
they'll
see
whether
or
not
they
want
to
retire
because
there's
uncertainty
with
a
new
contract,
at
least
employees
will
know
what
they
have
going
forward
in
july.
L
So
all
right,
so
that
that
is
the
severance
for
the
questions.
Chris,
you
want
to
do
the
benefits.
C
Sure
so,
basically
we
took
eight
percent.
We
increased
our
benefits
by
eight
percent.
If
we
put
in
the
recommended
increase,
our
budget
just
couldn't
sustain
it,
so
we
did
eight
percent.
C
This
is
the
retiree
dental
for
the
retiree,
and
then
this
is
the
retiree
health,
and
this
this
number
is
a
little
tough
to
pinpoint
because
as
people
turn
65,
they
go
from
the
regular
plan
down
to
the
one
that
costs
a
lot
less.
So
it's
probably
about
a
seven
and
a
half
percent
increase
on
the
retiree
health
care
and
then
the
pension
is
right
from
the
pension
valuation.
C
The
workers,
compensation
and
general
liability
insurance-
I
budgeted
eight
percent
over
what
we
actually
paid.
I
emailed
colleen
at
the
trust,
and
she
said
my
starting
numbers
are
good
that
maybe
the
general
liability
may
be
coming
in
a
little
bit
less
and
she's
supposed
to
be
getting
back
to
me
with
a
file
number.
So
I'm
hoping
during
the
hearings.
I
can
give
you
some
good
news
on
that,
and
maybe
we
can
bring
that
back
down
a
little
bit.
C
G
You
know
we've
been
discussing
this
for
a
couple
years-
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
how
they
even
got
the
bid
to
begin
with,
but
we
know
this
is
an
ongoing
problem,
nobody's
happy
with
that
nothing's
working
correctly,
not
here
and
we're
paying
through
the
nose.
So
what
are
we
waiting
for?
Are.
C
So
I
believe
we
have
to
give
60
days
notice,
so
we
can
get
out
to
get
out,
but
we
need
to
have
a
plan
of
course,
so
we
have
been
looking
into
different
avenues
as
far
as
we
want
to.
We
want
to
have
an
analysis
done.
Should
we
have
an
I.t
department,
or
should
we
find
a
consultant
that
is,
you
know,
more
feasible
for
us
an.
L
Person
in
the
department:
well,
that's
what
we
need
to
do.
This
is
what
we
don't
know
because,
again
as
a
layperson,
I
would
think
you
need
someone
as
a
director
that
has
a
skill
set
to
do
all
the
types
of
program
be
familiar
with
the
programs
that
we
have
for
police
fire
municipal
and
then
you
have
to
have
another
person,
that's
a
little
bit
less,
but
still
can
step
in
to
assist
as
well
as
do
the
regular
type
of
troubleshooting.
L
B
On
the
previous
budgets,
yeah,
the
computer
services
were
all
over
the
place,
so
it
was
in
every
department
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
So
we
as
a
council
a
few
years
a
couple
of
two
years
ago,
decided
that
we
want
to
go
with
this
consultant.
Unfortunately,
this
consultant
is
not
doing
the
best
job
right.
I've.
D
B
It
I've
dealt
with
it.
I've
been
called
here
to
come
here
when
it's
stuff
they
could
have
resolved
over
the
phone
and
they're
charging,
both
cool
bucks
and
it's
well
over
budget.
You
know
we
were
told,
be
about
60
to
80
000.
The
first
year
was
gonna
be
a
little
expensive
because
they
found
some
hardware
and
stuff
and
some
software
that
needed
to
be
upgraded
and
the
town
to
be
protected.
But
with
that
being
said,
we're
well
over
budget
this
year
on
that
even
what
was
projected
to
be
over
we're
well
over
that
me
personally.
B
You
could
probably
get
for
that
rate
with
less
a
little
less
than
that
rate,
but
also
here
in
the
building
at
all
times
and
able
to
help
in
multiple
departments.
Now
the
school
department
does
have
an
I.t
department.
Now.
Is
that
something
that
we
may
want
to
tack
on?
In
other
words,
maybe
we
put
another
I.t
person
in
the
school
department
that
runs
the
town,
see
what
I'm
saying
where
they
already
have
a
director.
B
They
already
have
a
department
head
looking
over
everybody,
so
they
would
report
to
the
school
but
work,
the
town,
hall
and
police
and
fire
and
youth
center,
whatever
it
may,
whatever
it
may
be,
because
a
lot
of
times
it's
a
simple,
let's
unplug
the
mode
and
plug
it
back
in
you
back
up
and
run,
but
that's
rcc
will
come
here
charge
you
300
to
do
that,
for
you
a
keyboard
whatever
it
may
be,
software
issues
not
being
able
to
launch
excel.
B
F
L
Our
thought
was
to
send
out
an
rfp
for
services,
and
we
spoke
in
the
rcc
and
said
this
is
a
possibility
for
services
and
look
to
solicit
companies
to
bid.
I
believe
there
are
other
communities
a
few
that
have
firms
that
operate
their
systems,
so
contact
those
firms
see
if
they're
interested
in
bidding
go
out
and
re-bid
for
the
for
this
pro
for
this
service.
L
You
know,
what
do
we
need?
What
kind
of
staff,
the
skill
level
the
salaries
we'd
have
to
recruit
and
possibly
part
of
that
could
be
sharing
services
with
the
schools
you
know:
can
they
assist
us
in
some
manner?
Can
we
combine
services?
Many
communities
now
are
looking
to
combine
services
with
the
school
departments.
Sometimes
it's
you
know.
B
D
L
Right,
one
of
the
recommendations
with
rcc
was
well.
You
can
hire
a
part-time
person
here,
so
we
wouldn't
be
as
expensive
for
us,
but
then
you
know
the
person
would
have
to
have
some
certain
hours
and
if
something
happens,
they're
not
here
that
could
be
a
problem
or
if
we
could
find
a
firm
or
someone
that
would
be
an
hourly
rate,
which
would
be
less
cheaper
than
rcc
and
that
certainly
doesn't.
B
Departments
we
just
threw
that
out.
We
just
threw
that
out
there,
but
again,
I
also
you
got
to
look
at
it.
This
way,
too,
are
the
employees
utilizing
rcc
if
they're
having
a
mouse
problem
or,
if
they're,
having
a
keyboard
problem,
are
they
calling
rcc?
Let
me
go
get
another
keyboard
off
another
one
and
try
it
are
they
are
they
doing
that?
I
don't
know.
B
L
B
L
Right
there
there's
a
few
authorizers
for
rcc
there's
one
someone
in
a
sewer
authority.
I
believe
police
have
one.
I
have
one
and
municipal
municipal,
it's
kristin
myself
and
maybe
joanne.
L
B
L
B
But
as
far
as
adding
a
person
to
the
account
of
it
and
then
saying
they'll
report
they'll
have
a
department
head
to
report
to
and
they
can
oversee
the
town
hall
we're
going
to
make
sure
we
hire
the
people
that
and
we
had
an
it
department
here
before
danny
e.
We
had
an
I.t
department
here
in
the
90s
and
you
know
people
know.
I
said
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
difficult
system.
B
Now.
Internet
security,
of
course
that's
getting
a
little
more
difficult
to
deal
with
you're
going
to
make
sure
they
understand
that
also.
You
know
that
was
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we
had.
We
were
vulnerable
with
our
old
system
right
where
rcc
did
discover,
saying
hey,
you
know
you
are
leaving
yourself
wide
open
here,
so
they
they
went
and
did
the
steps
and
that's
what
cost
us
extra
money.
You
know
firewalls
and
whatever
else,
to
keep
the
tom's
information
safe
right.
B
L
Keep
that
safe,
you
know,
so
our
thought
was
to
give
rcc
notice
go
out
to
bid
solicit
other
vendors
to
come
in.
You
know,
for
for
at
least
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
have
a
vendor,
not
necessarily,
and
then,
if
we
you
know,
can
and
and
find
someone
who
can
troubleshoot
for
a
lesser
cost
that
we
could
on-call
it
comes
in
when
we
need
them
on
time.
Look
at
that
and
then
have
this
study
done
to
have
someone
come
in
with
experience
and
determine
again
what
is
the
best
for
us?
L
L
L
But
again
you
know
some
evaluation.
Some
objective
evaluation,
with
with
individuals
with
a
strong
skill
set
in
that
area,
can
make
a
recommendation
for
us,
but
there
are
communities
that
are
outsourcing
it.
There
are
a
number
of
them,
and
so
there
are
companies
other
than
rcc
that
do
this
and
and
at
worst
we'll
just
compare
you
know,
I'm
sure
we
assume
rcc
would
bid
and
then
other
companies
would
bid
and
make
make
a
decision
something.
F
Sorry,
that's
so
are
you
I'm
hearing
everything
you
said?
Are
you
and
I
know
what
david
just
said-
councilman
gosling
regarding
talks
with
the
school
department.
Is
that
something
that
you
can
approach
the
superintendent
with
asap
just
to
make
sure
that
options
on
the
table.
L
Well,
yeah,
certainly
I
can
approach
her
tomorrow.
I
know
originally
way
back
when
you
know
there
was
a
very,
very
brief
discussion
about
some.
Maybe
it
helped
in
the
interim,
but
they
were,
as
I
said,
full
staff.
They
are
with
all
their
issues
with
you
know,
chromebooks
all
the
things
that
schools
do
today,
they
didn't
have
any
assistance
to
us
in
an
interim.
Certainly,
I
can
discuss
with
her
about
an
additional
staffing
that
can
do
certain
things
for
us
right.
J
H
L
A
lesser
cost
you
know
as
far
as
that,
but
as
far
as
you
know,
well
I
mean
again
again:
there
are
some
things
that,
as
you
said,
we
have
things
that
we
do,
that
you
know
doesn't
require
the
inspector
expect
more
expensive
consultant
to
do.
You
know
our
services
are
layered
they're
different
layers
for
different
services,
but
if
there's
a
position
they
can
maybe
look
to
fund
that
could
help
us
with
certain
levels,
but
I
don't
know
if
they
would
be
have
the
ability
to
have
an
I.t
director
type.
L
You
know,
do
the
types
of
services
that
we
do
here,
because
again
they're
they're
into
schools,
we're
into
you,
know
public
safety
24
hours
a
day
that
type
of
operation.
So
again
you
know
you
know,
being
that
24-hour
a
day
operation.
You
need
something
you
need
it
right
away,
which
is
a
little
bit
different.
You
know
from
from
what
they
have.
F
I
I'm
sorry
go
ahead.
Are
you
well,
it's
the
next
line.
Actually
the
advertising
where
again
I've
asked
this.
Last
week
too,
with
some
different
things,
and
I
know
we
have
still
have
five
months
to
go,
but
we've
we've
only
used
8
388
in
advertising
and
we
budgeted
for
35..
Is
that
what
is?
Is
there
a
plan
to
use
the
rest
of
that
money?
Is.
C
I
believe
they
use
that
for
positions,
and
I
know
we
have
some
positions
that
we're
going
to
be
advertising,
for.
I
got
to
look
to
see
what
else
they're
using
it
for.
C
It
has
gone
up
since
january.
I
thought
I
could
get
on,
but
I
can't
get
on.
F
C
F
And
the
reason
I'm
asking
is
is
not
to.
I
am
nickel
and
diming
it.
You
know
a
little
bit
because
when
director
o'donnell
came
up
and
is
asking
asking
for
extra
money
and
advocating
for
his
program
and
his
staff,
I
put
value
to
that
yeah
and
if
we're
gonna,
even
if
it's,
if
it's
25
and
there's
a
10
000
savings
that
we
have
sure
here,
I
mean
every
little
bit
would
help
and-
and
you
can
make
the
argument
where
it
could
go
versus
just
a
cut
right.
C
D
K
C
But
I
believe
I
was
also
looking
at
the
last
three
years
where
they
came
pretty
close
to
spending
it.
Last
year
they
came
in
about
eight
eight
thousand
under.
F
C
Yes,
it's
definitely
staffing,
it
definitely
bids.
I'm
assuming
any
of
our
hearing
budget
ads
would
would
come
out
of
there.
F
F
D
G
F
It's
related
to
this.
I
just
want
to
just
because
I
think
I'm
unclear
with
this
we're
talking
some
big
numbers.
I
know
I'd
sent
you
an
email
yesterday
regarding
the
pensions
right
and
the
number.
B
F
D
C
D
F
Million
all
right,
so
my
numbers
won't
be
right
there,
okay,
so
my
question
to
to
get
at
this
is
what
I
was
doing.
Trying
to
do
is
is
looking
I'm
looking
way
long
term
here
in
in
10
15,
20
years
down
the
road.
How
much
is
actually
coming
in
and
how
much
is
going
out
per
year
and
when
that
gap
closes
is
where
is?
B
Comes
with
charity,
one
of
the
things
going
back
to
four
years
ago.
We
were
putting
in
1.5
million
dollars
and
paying
out
7
million,
so
it
was
6
million.
It
was
draining
quickly.
Now
we've
put
some
sort
of
band-aid
on
it
where
it's
coming
out
evening.
Anyway,
whether
or
not
it's
it's
very
close,
it's
not
minus
seven
million
a
year,
it's
pay,
what's
paying
in
and
what's
paying
out
is
very
close,
and
this
in
the
gap
is
closing.
You
are
100
right.
F
G
B
F
It
is
a
concern
with
all
the
decisions,
because,
if,
if
we're
cl,
if
we're
close
right
now
and
all
of
a
sudden
13
people
say
you
know
what
I'm
done
or
20
people
10
people
say,
I'm
done
at
what
rate
and
they're
all
different
rates.
Is
that
going
to
be
an
overturned
right
away?
And
I
am
asking
because
we
just
had
to
find
four
million
dollars
in
six
months.
F
L
F
G
F
L
This
budget
is
is
balanced
so,
depending
on
what
decisions
are
made
again,
whatever
decisions
are
made
by
the
council
as
long
as
you
know
they
equal,
I
mean,
for
example,
if
you
cut
fire
or
place
overtime
and
you
have
to
pay
it,
then
that's
not
a
cut,
but
again
I'm
sure.
As
you
go
through
you
will.
You
know,
make
whatever
determinations
you
make
getting
back
to
your
pension
question.
The
income
is
three
three
legs
to
the
stool,
employer,
contributions,
employee
contributions
and
investment
income.
That's
that's!
L
L
Any
any
number
right
yeah
it's
good
now,
because
in
market,
but
then
you
know
there
are
variations,
you
know,
and
so
again
that's
always
a
number
that
is
looked
at
and
I
believe
our
investment
rate
of
return
is
seven
and
a
half
percent
and
that's
a
study's
been
done
or
being
done
to
determine
if
that's
adequate
or
if
it's
too
high
or
too
low.
L
So
that's
being
done
now
and
valuations
are
done
every
year
based
upon
more
information,
so
they
can
change.
But
there
are
long
range
projections
that
say:
yes,
it's
going
up,
retirees
are
retiring
and
it
is
an
issue
that
you
know
the
town
has
dealt
with
and
in
the
future,
we'll
continue
to
deal
with
how.
L
Might
might
be
more
or
maybe
around
300
yeah.
I
do
have
the
number,
but
no.
L
Yes,
well,
it
might
be
higher.
B
So,
just
a
quick
number,
you
figure,
for
you
know
that
many
employees
paying
out
seven
to
nine
million
dollars,
quick
math.
But
if,
if
you
take
and
one
thing
that
I
looked
at
in
the
past,
with
pensions,
it
takes
about
20
to
25
employees
per
million-
maybe
maybe
a
little
bit
more,
depending
on
what
employees
retire.
So
police
and
fire
based
upon
their
base
salary
and
how
many
years
they
have
20
years
is
60.
Chief
20
years
is
20
years,
60
of
their
salary
50.
O
B
So
figure,
if
you
have
10
13
police
officers,
who
all
do
that
now
that's
three
hundred
thousand
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
pension
again,
but
then,
when
you
hire
rehire,
you
know
their
contributions
and
whatever
I
think
right
now,
their
percent
is
13
of
their
salary,
12
13
13
in
the
fire.
So
that's
what
the
employee
pays
into
the
contributions.
I
C
Nope,
that
is
the
infinite
visions.
That's
the
the
support,
the
maintenance
support
for
the
infinite
visions,
the
accounting
software
we
use.
Okay,
thank
you,
you're
welcome.
So
basically
I
tried
to
keep
this
as
level
funded
as
possible.
C
The
only
thing
that
really
went
up
was
the
health
care
and
that's
because
there's
an
extra
family
plan
in
this
department
now
don't
say
who
it
is
and
then
basically
some
some
lines
I
adjusted
up
and
down.
I
I
adjusted
training
and
conferences
down,
because
I
don't
I
don't
generally
leave
the
state
for
conferences,
so
I
try
and
keep
mine
all
rhode
island.
So
there's
really
no
traveling
involved.
C
The
higher
class
I
did
bump
that
up
to
5000
because
you
know
at
201
dollars
a
day.
You
know
three
thousand
dollars
was
going
to
cover
about
15
days.
You
know
with
vacation
and
sick
or
if
I
have
conferences
to
go
to,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
have
enough
in
that
line
to
cover
when
joanne
covers.
For
me
life
insurance.
I
got
the
corrected
rates
from
karen,
so
that
came
down
supplies
I
brought
down
based
on
the
three
year
average.
C
I
know
it's
down
now,
but
they
have
severely
cut
back
on
supplies.
Just
to
you
know,
save
save
the
town
some
money
this
year,
the
audit
I
did
have
to
raise
that
up
and
that's
based
on
the
bid,
I'm
not
quite
sure
where
the
number
was
coming
before,
but
we
are
over
budget
this
year
because
there
was
not
enough
in
the
budget
and
it
was
in
and
it's
it's
based
on
the
bid.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
correct
number
in
there
and
that's
about
it.
K
So
the
it
consultant
yeah,
just
pretty
large
gaps
from
you
know,
fy
2015
through
2017..
Was
that,
like
a
year
where
we
bought
the
software
yeah.
C
K
L
Well,
mr
president,
I
just
want
to
answer
the
first
question
you
asked
for
about
the
I.t
consultant
for
the
study
in
the
general
government
budget.
There
is
a
line
item
for
consultants.
It's
been
normally
budgeted
at
forty
thousand
dollars.
I
budgeted
at
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Ten
thousand
dollars
was
an
estimate
for
the
consultant
for
the
feasibility
study.
I
also
have
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
there
for
actuarial
studies,
as
the
town
is
going
into
collective
bargaining
felt.
The
need
may
need
some
actuarial
assistance
and
developing
you
know
the
town's
positions
so.
E
Really,
my
only
line
items
that
I
really
take
care
of
visa
you
know
are
like
supplies
and
expenses
which
our
supplies
and
expenses
aren't
just
little
like
w
mace
wb
mason.
We
have
our
contracts
for
our
leasing
equipment
like
our
folding
machine,
our
stuffing
folding
and
stuffing
machine.
We
have
a
letter
opener,
we
have
our
fax.
We
have
everything
comes
out
of
that
our
alarm
system.
E
There's
a
person
called
rock
there's
a
person
named
roxanne
oliver
and
hopefully
we
can
get
like
a
state
bulk
rate,
because
we
do
mail
out
like
30,
000
tax
bills
come
july
and
and
the
only
really
thing
that
we're
needing
in
our
office
is
one
more
receipt
bill
printer
and
that's
like
900
for
that,
but
we
really
ours
is
just
what
you
see
is
is
basically
what
is
here.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
questions
about
anything,
but
he.
D
E
Our
computer
services
is
vision,
we
have
software,
it's
vision
and
we
share
with
the
tax
assessor.
They
have
tax
admin,
but
they
have
their
own
fee
and
we
have
our
own
fee
with
the
computer
services.
H
H
H
J
E
Get
everything
rolled
over
once
they
assess
everything,
it
gets
locked,
we
roll
it
over
to
the
tax
collection
and
that's
when
we
can
see
our
our
figures
protect.
You
know
for
the
tax
bills
and
just
you
know,
payroll
taxes,
medical
insurance,
dental
that
that's
kristin,
you
you
did
all
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
C
B
C
D
C
B
What
else
do
we
have
coming?
We
have
what's
our
next
bond,
we
have
a
couple
in
2022,
but.
C
Yep
those
would
be
the
the
q
zab.
D
C
N
C
L
I
just
want
to
mention
that
kristen
alluded
to
the
fact
that
this
is
principle
and
interest
and
we
are
both
used
to
having
a
you
know,
debt
principle
and
interest
separate.
You
know,
budget
pages
and
principal
and
interest.
So
again
the
thought
was
at
this
point
coming
in
when
we
did
we're
just
going
to
do
everything
the
way
it
was
done
before,
but
we
have
talked,
and
you
know
next
year
there
will
be
different.
You
know
maybe
may
look
a
little
different.
Some
of
the
categories
line,
items
and
principle
and
interest
will
be
one.
L
C
L
All
righty,
it's
our
capital.
We
handed
out
a
sheet
with
the
departmental
requests.
I
have
extras
in
case.
You
may
need
that
from
what
each
department
requested
to
what
was
recommended
and
again
these
were.
This
was
one
of
the
last
tasks
we
had
in
preparing
the
budget,
the
capital
requests
and
the
other
we'll
mention
we
get
into
revenues,
but
again
at
the.
L
We
tried
to
be
very
conservative
in
the
requests.
You
know
we
had
some
issue.
We
wanted
to
focus
some
on
computer
issues,
repair
replacement
of
computers
consoles
some
servers,
some
servers
for
again
enhanced
performance
as
well
as
security
issues.
L
L
At
this
point,
that's
coming
from
the
fund.
That's
dedicated
for
details
which
we
sort
of
scarfed
up
for
the
deficit
reduction
plan.
At
this
point,
that's
my
belief
and
that
the
town
will
end
fy
18
in
the
black
and
just
depends
what
that
will
be.
With
our
plan
we
have
and
then
we
will
be
in
a
position
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
to
come
back
and
look
at
the
items,
as
we
said,
and
maybe
ratchet
back
some
of
those
you
know
for
equipment.
L
That
was
a
concern
of
the
council,
so
I
believe
will
be
based
on.
We
see
today
we'll
be
in
a
position
to
do
that,
but
as
well
as
the
fire
fire
equipment
so
for
their
replacement
fund.
But
with
that
said,
this
is
the
equipment
that
was
was
asked
for
and
recommended
for
specific
items
on
the
items.
You
know.
Certainly
the
colonel's
here
to
answer
any
specific
questions.
B
F
Before
you
do
that,
I
have
a
question:
if
you
don't
mind
sure-
and
I
spoke
to
ernie
about
this
before
we
had
a-
we
have
an
account-
I'm
not
quite
sure
if
it's
the
a
line
item
in
the
in
the
budget
or
if
it
it
was
in
the
it's
in
the
capital
for
this
year,
for
the
citizens
appreciation
day,
correct,
we've
talked.
K
It
was
specifically
for
citizens
appreciation
day.
I
thought
that
was
a
line
in
recreation
for
some
reason
I
knew
they
drew
from
that,
but
I
I
drew
from
that.
No,
I
mean
before
you
with
the
citizen's
appreciation
day.
I
know
fred
had
had
drawn
money
from
that,
but
I
don't
think
it
was
ever
allocated
specifically
to
that.
So
I
don't
know
what
the
history
was
of
it.
I.
F
So
if
it's
there
right
now
and
the
animal
shelter
needs
to
be
fixed
right
now,
there's
I
want
to
say
there's
15
000.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
I
drew
100
from
that
last
last
october,
through
through
marcarullo
when
he
was
in,
and
so
that
means
it's
14
000
and
change
left.
I.
F
Well,
if
whatever
is
there
that
we
can
use,
if
we're
not
going
to
use
it
could
be
reallocated,
can
we
reallocate
that
money
towards
the
animal
shelter,
because
it's
already
there,
it's
already
been
approved
instead
of
just
putting
it
back
in
I
mean,
obviously
the
animal
shelter
needs.
I
mean,
I
know
the
chief's
going
to
go
over
it,
but
it's
quite
a
bit
of
repair,
so.
L
L
Well,
no,
this
is
you
know,
because
for
the
capital
account
are
there
any
funds
that
are
remaining.
O
We
had
money
left
over
from
prior
years.
I
could
speak
for
the
police
department,
obviously
for
our
body
cameras
when,
when
mark
carrillo
took
over
as
interim
town
manager,
we
gave
that
back
to
help
the
improvement
plan
so
that
money
went
to
the
wayside.
That
was
from
like
14
15.
O
Ernie
coming
in,
we
market
put
a
freeze
on
our
capital
as
well,
so
there
was
there's
probably
a
lot
of
money
showing
in
capital
because
we
haven't
spent
it
the
difference
this
year
on
mine
last
year.
It
shows
35,
however,
that
wasn't
the
amount
because
building
had
put
in
money
for
the
animal
control,
so
this
year
building
is
not
so
that's
why
I
I
knocked
it
down
5
000,
because
we
did
do
some
repairs
with
help
of
some
of
the
donations
from
volunteers.
O
And
what
have
you
so
to
answer
that
I
mean
we've
talked
about
fencing
coding
getting
up
to
code
with
electrical
plumbing
heating.
We
just
had
over
the
winter.
Some
issues
we
had
to
just
recently
purchase
a
oil
tank,
so
most
of
that
money
is,
is
designated
for
the
animal
shelter
being
again
coating
electric
heat
plumbing
mechanical
in
that
those
areas,
a
small
portion
for
the
range
which,
if
you
know
the
police
department,
has
our
range-
it's
I
think
2010
it
was.
O
Just
portions
of
it,
some
of
some
of
the
the
I'd
have
to
look
and
see
where
we
got
all
of
our
things.
I
know
some
of
it,
like
volunteers,
have
done
some
work,
so
I
don't
know
if
they
got
the
the
architectural
shingles
at
the
time
or
not,
but
no
it's
not,
I
shouldn't,
say
the
roof.
I
should
say
shingles
some
damage
from
from
what
have
you,
but
the
roof
itself
is
solid.
That's
okay!
I
apologize
for
it,
but
we
did
again
sitting
there
with
with
christian
and
the
town
manager.
O
Eventually
we're
going
to
need
to
update
our
our
radio
system.
We
were
able
to
do
quite
a
bit
of
research,
major
knot,
kudos
to
the
fire
department,
chief
barrisses
radio,
guys
we
had
several
meetings,
trying
to
put
our
systems
together
to
save
money
which
we're
gonna
have
to
do
in
the
future.
But
by
doing
it
together,
it
will
certainly
save
money
but
again
kudos
to
them
they're
able
to
find
a
company
with
the
assistance
of
of
our
radio
company
that
our
system
is
so
old.
They
don't
have
the
parts
any
longer.
O
However,
we're
able
to
find
a
company
that
we
can
buy
a
spare
part
at
a
much
less
lesser
cost
right
now,
because
we're
talking
over
almost
100
over
200
000
on
the
police
side
about
160,
I
would
say
the
remainder
coming
from
fire,
but
we're
able
to.
Hopefully,
with
that
5
000,
we
can
buy
a
spare
pot
to
have
on
the
shelf.
So
should
that
unit
go
down,
we
can
just
pay
someone
to
come
and
put
it
in
and
it'll
get
us
through
for
the
time
being,.
O
O
K
P
P
I
had
a
few
different
versions
because
I
was
waiting
for
quotes
to
come
in
on
different
items
on
my
capital
to
come
in,
like
a
boiler
for
station
2
and
and
all
and
what
had
happened.
There
was
one
item.
P
I
also
requested
sixty
five
hundred
dollars
for
a
thermal
imaging
camera,
which
I
gave
back
in
this
fiscal
year
that
we
did
not
purchase
to
help
save
money
building
improvements.
Ten
thousand
we
are
in
dire
need
of
a
another
server,
which
is
twenty.
Two
thousand
three
hundred
in
the
heating
system
boiler
nine
thousand
dollars
for
station
two,
which
amounts
to
sixty
thousand
six
hundred
dollars.
P
I
have
to
say
I
look
back
from
since
when
I've
been
here.
This
is
the
lowest
capital
budget
request
I've
put
in
in
10
years.
P
P
So
if
the
rescue
goes
out
that
whole
garage
door
opens
up,
there's
not
two
separate
doors
there,
so
it
cools
down
the
building
very
quickly
and-
and
it
strains
to
keep
the
heat
up
we
get
by
over
the
years.
I've
insulated
the
building
a
new
roof.
We've
done
a
lot
of
things
to
help,
but
it's
getting
to
the
point.
It's
going
to
need
a
a
little
bigger
system,
especially
on
the
apparatus
floor.
What.
P
Yes,
we
have,
we
have.
We
still
have
some
older
ones.
We
have
received
a
couple
through
grants.
I
currently
have
a
grant
out
there
for
thermal
imaging
cameras,
but
that's
not
guaranteed
to
get
it.
If
we
do
get
it,
we
only
have
to
pay
10
percent
of
it.
If
we
do
get
the
grant.
B
Myself,
along
with
jim
thomas,
the
former
town
manager,
we
were
at
a
training
facility
in
south
kingston,
where
we
went
into
a
burning
building.
We
were
dressed
in
a
fire
apparatus,
ironically,
and
very
impressive,
and
everybody
knows
my
family
history.
I
did
was
a
relative
here
when
I
swore
to
a
fire
back
in
the
90s
from
here
to
major
knot
to
chief
barris
when
when
the
smoke
was
going
on,
I
couldn't
see
him.
I
couldn't
see
anybody
on
the
floor.
B
Nothing
but
as
I
walk
in
with
a
thermal
imaging
camera
and
I'm
the
firefighter-
and
I
just
aim
that-
and
I
see
the
body
clear
as
day
but
gets
right
in
front
of
me
and
I
can
go
all
the
way
back
to
major,
knock
and
see
that
body.
It's
an
amazing
tool
and
I've
said
that
day.
If
you
ever
ask
one
of
these,
I'm
not
saying
no,
because
it's
it's
a
life
of
death
matter
there
and
you
know
when
you're
in
a
smoky
building
every
second
counts.
B
G
I've
been
to
numerous
ones,
the
aci
creation
rush.
P
J
K
P
Then
we'll
replace
some
of
our
older
ones
that
we
have
also,
or
put
it,
put
an
extra
one
on
a
different
truck
that
doesn't
have
it.
This
not
only
is
a
life-saving
tool.
It
also
to
find
somebody
in
the
building,
our
own
people,
and
also
it
conserves
property,
because
if
there's
a
fire
behind
that
wall,
you
can't
see
it.
P
This
will
also
tell
you
where
that
fire
is
and
that
that
saves
damage
to
the
property
and
all
by
pinpointing
where
it,
instead
of
opening
up
all
the
ceilings,
all
the
walls
to
find
ways.
P
Condition
heavy
the
the
new
ones
now
affordably,
the
officer
just
puts
it
right
on
his
his
coat
part
of
his
equipment.
We
do
have
two
other
ones
at
that
big
handheld
ones
very
cumbersome
when
we
only
have
two
guys
on
the
truck
you're
carrying
extra
tools
and
all
that
so.
P
Well,
I
had
budgeted
two
in
this
fiscal
year's
budget.
I
gave
one
back,
we
bought
one.
I
gave
one
back
to
help
save
money
and
right
now,
if
you
notice,
we
have
39
000
left
over
in
our
capital,
which
I
told
the
manager
I
would
not.
I
would
not
spend
for
the
rest
of
the
fiscal
year
yeah
unless
we
had
something
happen
between
now
and
june
30th
we
get.
We
gave
back
some
communication
stuff
and
all
we
already
had
some
things
already
bought
before
the
the
spending
freeze,
yeah.
B
We
just
want
to
make
sure
whatever
you
I
understand,
you're,
giving
back
and
that's
great,
but
we've
also
overspent
in
other
areas.
So
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
because
we
went
through
this
before
in
dbw,
where
they
saved
a
lot
in
one
year
and
the
council
went
ahead
and
approved
a
dump
truck
and
a
couple
other
things.
And
lo
and
behold
the
town
manager
comes
back
and
says
well
the
other
department's
overspent,
but
we
don't
want
to
get
into
it.
B
I
appreciate
every
department
saving
money
as
much
as
they
can,
but
there
are
departments
that
are
going
to
overspend.
We
want
to
make
sure
whatever
we
have
elsewhere,
we'll
like
tell
manager,
said
earlier,
at
least,
if
somebody's
here
and
somebody's
here
we
want
to
make
sure
in
the
end
the
scale's
hit.
You
know,
even
I.
P
P
K
B
Would
cover
the
two
at
the
10
percent
that
we
got
the
percentage
we
got
to
pay
so
at
least
if
he
gets
awarded
that
we
have
that
in
the
budget
and
then
we'll
get
the
two
cameras.
Now,
if
you
want
to
authorize
a
65.
B
B
H
D
B
B
Obviously
I'll
make
notes
and
grant
passes
and
now
he
says
1300
because
I
already
spent
the
65
on
the
camera
july
1st.
I.
F
P
G
P
P
Now,
like
I
said
on
this
in
front
of,
you,
does
not
show
the
12
800
for
two
portable
radios
that
were
part
of
our
capital
improvement
plan,
five-year
10-year
plan
that
we
will
purchase
start
replacing
our
radios.
P
P
P
B
H
D
P
P
Oh
okay,
all
right,
so
I
didn't
know
which
one
you
you
you
did
see
that
letter,
because
I
I
forwarded
to
mock
because
mark
was
the
acting
and
it
and
mainly
it's
the
asbestos
tile
floor
tiles
and
the
they
should
be
overlaid
and
the
front
front
ramp
is
cracking
and
someone's
we're.
Gonna
have
a
liability
there.
B
L
Yes,
there
are
two
lines:
a
sprinkler
line
and
an
irregular
service
line.
Both
those
are
required
to
have
backflow
preventers
and,
I
think,
was
january.
Kent
county
was
actually
notifying
businesses
that
they
were
going
to
turn
off
the
sprinkler
service
until
they
would
make
arrangements
to
have
discussions
to
install
these
back
preventers.
L
B
L
It
is
the
one
building
it's
the
dpw
headquarters
on
junior
street
and
is
for
two
lines,
a
sprinkler
line
and
a
service
line.
That's
the
estimation
yeah.
Q
The
domestic
line
so.
B
J
B
Because
he's
another
one,
he
totally
expensive,
ten.
Q
Q
That
was
the
that
was
the
price
that
we
got
when
dave
asked
for
the
for
the
quote,
when
we're
still
here,
ask
too
we
got
the
quote
from
ps
past
fire
alarms.
B
I
I
would
definitely
put
that
out
of
it
because-
and
I
don't
know-
maybe
because
they
say
it's
a
town
they're
going
to
jack
up
the
price.
But
I
can
tell
you,
if
you
reach
out
to
some
of
the
businesses
around
here,
that
just
use
their
plumbers
or
whoever
it
may
be.
It's
the
pots
expensive,
but
the
labor
and
whatever
else
wasn't
too
bad.
B
You
know,
like
I
said,
they're
doing
it
for
ten
thousand
versus
the
part
itself
is
like
six
two
parts
combined
one's
cheap,
one's,
very
expensive
and
then
the
labor.
On
that
you
know,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
just
going
to
spend
25
000
when
it's
only
10.
sure-
and
I
only
know
this
because
and
I've
contacted
chief
paris
numerous
times
this
kent
county
water,
sending
these
letters
out
saying
we're
shutting
your
business
down.
Shutting
your
water
down
and
that's.
B
And
my
big
concern
in
chief
barris
is
concerned
was,
if
you're,
shutting
the
water
down
from
the
sprinkler
system
and
they
still
stay
open.
What's
what's
the
safety
issue
now
you
just
left
the
you
just
it
becomes
our
issue
and
now
you're
going
to
build
them
with
no
sprinkler
system.
So
at
that
point
you
know
I
I
have
an
issue
with
that.
You
know
and
not
only
that,
putting
the
place
out
of
business
and
in
danger
you
know
and
that's
something
we're
going
to
talk
about
tuesday
night
at
the
council
meeting.
B
Q
H
B
Because
I
mean
we're,
gonna
have
this:
this
is
a
lot
of
money
and
if
we
have
to
do
it
in
the
town,
hall,
fire
departments
and
wherever
else
that
we
have
to,
I
would
rather
see
this
go
out
to
bed.
I'm
not
going
to
pay
one
company
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
something
that
could
be
done
for
30..
G
You
have
enough
to
get
the
job
done
later
on:
okay
and
this
25
000
pound,
lift
12
and
a
half
ton
right.
That's
an
awful
lot
of
money.
Twenty
thousand
I
mean
garage
down
me
all
he
does
is
big
dump
trucks.
He
probably
has
a
forty
five
thousand.
It
didn't
cost
that
much.
So
I
don't
know
where
that.
G
Q
G
Q
Time
but
never
know,
but
then
there's
times
where
I
need
it
right
away
and
I
can't
get
a
hold
of
anybody,
a
dinosaur
plant.
No,
no
and
you.
G
B
Well
again,
the
the
department
request
and
the
manager's
request
and
two
different
animals
here:
department,
request,
department
requests
requested
us
a
hook
truck
the
town
manager,
scratched
that
the
six
wheel
dump
the
town
manager
scratched
that
inspection
camera
the
town
manager
scratched
that
mobile
radio
and
base
station,
the
town
manager
scratched
that
and
the
mini
excavator
the
town
manager
scratched
that
the
only
two
things
were
bad
necessities,
which
was
the
lift
and
the
back
full
valve
and
town
manager
approved.
B
Q
Yeah,
well,
I
asked
for
it
last
year
I
mean
it
was
it's
just
something
that
we
could
it's
a
obvious,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
time
and
money
and
manpower
when
we
can
have
it
right
away.
You
know
instead
of
waiting
and
calling
somebody
and
have
to
wait
three
four
days
to
get
it.
No,
you
know.
Q
Okay,
the
the
six
wheeler
dumps
and
sanders.
We
have
three
of
them
that
are
96s
and
where
they
they're
getting
band-aids
over
band-aids.
So
it's
it's
be
more
cost
efficient
to
get
a
brand
new
one
rather
than
try
to
keep
a
band-aid.
You
know
those
old
trucks,
pushing
camera.
Q
Okay,
the
mobile
radios
I
like
to
put
the
mobile
radios
back
in
all
the
vehicles
for
safety
issues,
so
I
don't
have
to
call
anybody
on
their
cell
phones
during
during
snowstorms
and
stuff
like
that
to
get
a
hold
of
them
for
the
breaks
and
having
somebody
you
know,
while
you
want
to
cover
other
runs,
I
gotta
call
four
or
five
five
people
you
know.
So
if
I
had
the
radios,
it
would
be
a
safety
issue
so
because
they
shouldn't
be
on
their
phones
anyway.
Q
So
it's
a
lot
easier
with
the
radios
to
get
hold
of
everybody
at
once
and
then
many
excavated
there's
some
there's
some
jobs
that
we
do
in
some
type
of
spots,
where
it's
hard
to
get
the
backhoe
in
and
then
on
on
the
smaller
excavation
jobs.
So,
like
the
pipes
and
drainage,
you
know
it'll
be
I'll.
Be
good
to
work
with
and
cost
efficient
and
less
manpower.
Q
Mean
I
mean
we've,
we've
gotten
used
ones
enough
in
the
past
used
vehicles
in
the
past.
I
can
always
look.
I've
been
looking
at.
I
use
ones
too,
so
you
know
I
can
get
a
used
one.
I
can
get
some
quotes
on
some
news
ones.
You
know
they're
out
there.
B
B
To
look
into
just
don't
think
we
have
it
this
year,
but
that's
something
that
that
we've
talked
about
because
we've
talked
about
in
the
past.
Yeah
cleaning
up
the
bike
path
and.
H
B
H
F
H
No,
it's
like
a
lake
like
the
reeds
they
they
adopted
the
spot
in
the
center
of
it.
They.
D
J
N
H
H
F
Okay,
well,
I
I
had
I
I
spoke
with
freddie
on
this.
I
knew
most
this
wasn't
going
to
get
passed
or
considered,
but
I
asked
him
to
put
these
things
in
and
and
the
reason
for
it
is
because
I
I
have
an
idea,
I
I
know
to
work.
F
F
So
one
of
the
things
coming
up
on
the
agenda,
I
believe
it's
the
next
one
next
council
meeting
is
to
to
raise
the
fees
to
all
the
groups-
leagues
that
pay
to
use
the
fields
that
that
they
have
to
pay
for
by
ten
dollars
a
game
and
we
pay
by
the
g.
They
paid
by
the
game
doesn't
break
the
bank,
but
it's
it's
ten
bucks
and
those
will
add
up
and
that
will
go
into
a
special
account
for
recreation.
Only.
F
I
also
spoke
with
with
steve
lawton,
who
runs
the
summer
basketball
league
and
that's
the
biggest
league
in
town
and
there's
a
lot
of
non-residents
that
play
in
that
league
and
I,
in
speaking
with
him,
the
idea
was
to
contribute
ten
dollars
per
non-resident
child
to
a
non-resident
participant
to
this
recreation
fund
which
to
low-ball.
If
you
have
250,
kids,
that's
2500
and
that's
I
would
say
consistent
every
year
and
and
again
I'm
I'm
going
low
he's.
F
He
agreed
to
it
thought
it
was
a
good
idea
on
the
condition
that
the
other
leagues
participated
as
well.
So
one
thing
I'm
thinking
of
is
a
base
fee
of
100
bucks
per
league
charity
and
or
if
they
have
their
non-residents,
are
they
have
more
than
10?
Then
they
will
contribute
that
amount.
So
what
happened?
F
Well,
you
do
that
twice
for
the
same
grant.
You'd
go.
I
wouldn't
have
the
the
nerve
to
put
it
in
for
a
third
time,
because
if
I'm
reviewing
that
what
I'm
looking
at
is
all
right,
it's
west
walwick
again
there
we
already,
we
already
said
yes
twice
like
the
salt
shed
yeah,
and
but
this
will
give
us
that
one
again,
this
no
you
won't.
F
But
but
this
right
here
will
give
us
leverage,
though,
if
you,
if
you
put
in
for
a
grant
for,
say
the
flail
mower
to
be
used
on
the
bike
path
around
town
in
our
community.
It's
a
20
percent
match.
F
We
will
have
believe
me
that
account
will
grow
and
we
may
we'll
have
that
or
if
we
don't
get
that
for
three
years
and
we
do
other
projects
in
town
for
recreation
to
the
different
fields.
I
think
it's
a
win-win.
It
doesn't
come
off
the
taxpayer
at
all.
But
that's
why
I
asked
freddie
to
put.
K
B
So,
for
instance,
cal
ripken,
I
could
tell
you,
does
not
have
more
than
five
out
of
town
kids,
it's
usually
strictly
in
town,
because
we
have
crosstalk.
We
can't
there's
bylaws
again,
so
you
can't
like,
for
instance,
babe
ruth.
If,
as
long
as
west
fork
has
a
charter,
coventry
can't
take
the
kids
unless
you
authorize
it
less
less
authorized.
B
So,
like
I
was
talking
to
nate
from
he's
the
president
of
cal
ripken,
I'm
still
involved
in
the
board
as
far
as
babe
ruth
goes,
and
it's
all
one
west
walk
baseball
and
I
threw
it
by
and
I
told
him
that
it
was
your
idea
and
he
says:
100
bucks
is
okay,
it's
feasible,
it's
very
easy
for
them
to
maintain
steve.
On
the
other
hand,
you
know
when
you
throw
ten
dollars
per
person
and
he's
got
250.
Kids
he's
got
to
probably
charge
them
ten
dollars
more.
F
B
F
L
D
B
B
Yeah,
absolutely
so,
you
know,
because
it's
not
like
we're
taking
that
money
and
putting
it
aside,
but
the
leagues
have
come
to
me
with
some
ideas
to
take
it
over.
Instead
of
let
the
town
do
it,
they
want
to
do
it.
They
said
we
have
volunteers
who
want
to
cut
the
crest.
We
have
volunteers
who
want
to
fertilize
it.
We
have
volunteers
who
want
to
put
the
tick
stuff
down.
They've.
Come
trust
me.
All
the
leagues
want
to
help
the
town
too.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
they
have
their
ideas.
Also,
it's
just.
B
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
when,
when
we
and
being
a
coach
and
whatever,
when
we
send
out
that
registration,
they
say-
and
it's
strange
because
coventry
charges
130
150
per
child
to
play,
baseball,
westworld
charges,
a
hundred
and
people
say
they
don't
want
to
pay
a
hundred
dollars
to
play
baseball,
so
they
don't
sign
up
or
they
can't
afford
it.
So
you
know
if
they
charge
a
hundred
and
two
hundred
and
two
dollars
and
fifty
cents
that
made
it
to
them
to
sign
up.
Also
just
I'm
just.
Q
F
F
Produce
I'm
going
to
bring
this
up
only
because
you're
I
wasn't
going
to,
but
I
was,
and
I've
brought
it
up
several
times
in
the
10
months
that
we've
been
looking
to
have
a
recreation
meeting.
This
was
on
my
agenda
for
each
of
those
10
months
and
we
haven't
had
one
yet
so,
although
I'd
love
to
get
those
numbers-
and
I
think
they'd
have
them
readily
so
when
that
meeting
is
going
to
be,
I
can't
tell
you:
that's
not
my
responsibility
so.
L
The
the
building
improvements
we
received
a
letter
from
kent
county
water
authority.
There
is
an
old
meter
water
meter.
I
believe
it's
in
the
police
department,
that
is
kent
county
would
like
to
replace
because
they're
going
to
you
know
for
reading
meters
with
radio
frequencies,
where
they
can
read
it
enough,
like
residential.
You
can
read
it
from
outside,
as
you
drive
by
so
they've
asked
that
this
old
water
meter
be
replaced,
and
it
is
behind
some
equipment
or
lockers.
I
believe
so.
L
L
Coming
in
to
be
received,
so
I
had
to
put
a
number
in
so
I
estimated
5
000.
G
D
B
L
I
believe
it's
to
relocate
the
meter
or
from.
L
Yeah,
it's
it's
they're,
saying
it's
not
accessible
where
it
is,
and
the
meter
needs
to
be
replaced
for
this
kind
that
has
the
remote
control
or
the
radio
frequency
that
can
be
used,
and
they
also
said
by
the
way,
while
you're
doing
that,
you
may
want
to
look
at
a
backflow
preventing
device
in
your
line
going
in
as
well,
but
the
cost
estimate
was
for
this,
the
plumbing
necessary
for
the
meter.
I
believe
I
believe
it.
I
believe
it
works,
it's
something
it's
not.
G
D
F
Ernie
with
same
question,
I've
had
before
for
other
department
heads
it
was
allocated
for
159
000
in
capital
for
town
hall
improvements.
We've
only
used
13
to
13
200.
Are
you
going
to
intend
to
use
that
money,
or
is
that
part
of
the
money
that.
O
I
don't
know
if
these
lockers
are
facing
this
way.
It
just
happens
to
be
located
in
the
police
department.
No,
those
are
lockers,
so
they
can
see
it
they
can
get
to
it
yeah.
O
B
L
I'll
do
that
basically,
it's
to
replace
about
eleven
thousand
dollars
is
to
replace
10,
pcs
to
start
replacing
older,
pcs,
they're
they're,
you
know,
pc
is
less
than
that.
But
again
by
the
time
you
when
you
purchase
it,
you
buy
the
software
package
and
then
somebody
installs
it.
So
we
have
the
cost
to
purchase
the
pc,
which
you
know
varies,
let's
say
800
and
then
there's
a
cost
to
have
the
software
and
it
cost
to
have
somebody
set
it
up
and
make
sure
it's
operating
properly.
L
It
is
a
security
risk
and
any
of
the
windows.
10
workstations
can't
print
from
this
old
server.
So
that
estimate
is
four
thousand
dollars
for
the
new
server
and
those
are
the
two
items.
K
Windows
2003
how
many,
how
many
systems
have
come
out
since
then?
Oh
gosh,
yeah.
L
C
So
I'll
start
with
prior
your
taxes,
we
we
adjusted
that
down
to
a
more
realistic
number
based
on
the
three-year
average
and
we
adjusted
that
down
to
1.7
the
prior
tax
interest,
we're
going
to
keep
pretty
steady,
it's
trending
right
on
target
for
prior
tax.
This
the
state
aid
is
based,
is
provided
by
the
state,
so
the
school
formula
is
given
to
us
and
also
the
telephone
tax,
the
meals
tax.
All
of
those
are
provided,
numbers
are
provided
to
us
out
of
the
governor's
proposed
budget.
C
C
That's
basically,
the
debt
portion
of
the
school
housing
aid
at
the
time
when
they
solidify
this
number.
There
had
been
no
additional
projects
submitted
to
get
any
additional
school
housing
aid
on
that
investment
income.
We're
holding
steady
on
that
clerk.
I
I
bumped
that
up
to
640,
it
seems
to
be
trending
high
this
year.
So
I
think,
I
think,
with
the
additional
building
going
on
in
town,
that
that
that's
a
safe
number
and
also
and
then
I
held
steady
on
the
building
official.
C
C
Yeah,
it's
not,
it
doesn't
trend
very
high,
it's
it's
definitely
trending
in
the
past
and
the
average
it
hasn't
trended
very
high,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
different
type
seat
in
my
previous
life
each
department,
my
other
town,
each
department
had
categories.
So
you
could.
It
wasn't
just
a
lump
sum.
It
wasn't
just
town
clerk,
it
was
all
the
different
kind
of
fees
and
it
was
detailed.
So
you
could
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
what
in
that
department
was
trending
high
trending
low.
So
you
know
as
far
as
the
police
revenue.
C
G
C
The
same
with
the
sewer,
that's
their
reimbursement
to
us
for
administration
fees
and
then
the
school
crossing
guards
in
the
sro.
That's
a
school
reimbursement.
L
Yeah
just
a
couple
things
in
the
state
aid.
Even
though
we
received
a
million
dollars
more
in
motor
vehicle,
we
had
to
give
272
thousand
dollars
back
because
the
housing
was
was
less
than
that
was
272.
000,
less
departmental
revenue
is
up
195,
as
kristen
said.
Most
much
of
that
is
the
state
reimbursed
well
yeah
sc
outlined
in
different
areas.
You
know
that
are
up
on
that.
L
The
big
issue
is:
is
our
property
tax
number
and
again,
as
we
mentioned
briefly,
the
property
tax
calculation
and
the
levy
calculation
has
changed
this
year.
First
time
I
can
ever
remember,
the
levy
was
based
upon
property,
tangibles
and
motor
vehicle
for
the
levy.
This
year.
It's
changed
because
of
the
reimbursement
the
state
has
taken
out
the
motor
vehicle
from
that
calculation
and
then
with
the
exemptions.
Then
you
add
that
back
in
so
it's
not
part
of
the
levy,
it's
just
something
that
was
changed
this
year.
L
L
You
know
putting
account
numbers
in
and
verifying
the
values
with
those
account
numbers.
You
know
we
were
required
to
submit
our
budget
to
the
council
by
the
19th,
which
we
did.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
was
delivered
at
least
by
friday,
so
you
had
an
opportunity
to
look
at
it,
so
we
used
an
estimate
of
value
at
that
time.
L
L
L
Guess
they
have
actual
figures
if
you're
interested
in
that,
so
by
virtue
of
timing,
the
proposed
budget?
Actually,
you
know
the
tax
increase
has
gone
down
because
of
additional
values,
so
I
mean.
C
It
is
a
moving
target
just
so
you
know.
Obviously
you
know
we've
gone
through
this
before
and
the
tangibles
the
the
annual
returns
were
due
march.
15Th
yeah,
so
they're
still
processing
the
annual
returns,
so
the
tangible
number
could
go
up.
You
know
could
go
up
a
little.
It
could
go
up
a
lot,
but
you
know
we
have
one
loss,
metlife,
division
road,
so
we'll
take
a
hit
on
that.
B
Better
from
here,
especially
when
businesses
off
so
they
do
rehires
whatever
it
may
be,
I
I've
seen
it
happen.
Yeah.
I
F
I
I
I
The
financial
time
meeting
I
mean
the
well
they
referendum.
We
only
have
in
the
civic
center,
but
anything
else.
We
always
open
up
all
of
them.
We
always
open
even
primaries.
They
say
you
don't
have
to
open
the
whole
day,
but
for
the
amount
it
would
save
us,
which
would
not
be
a
lot
because
we
really
don't
pay
our
poll
workers
very
well.
I
I
I
Year
as
a
rule,
we
aren't
huge
budgets.
None
of
my
budgets
are
huge
so,
but
we
never
are
in
the
negative
at
the
end,
once
we
get
to
the
last
as
well
as
the
last
month
or
something
chris,
and
we
can
change
things
around
to
make
sure
we
come
out,
we've
never
been
negative,
not
in
the
four
years
that
I've
been
doing
the
budgets
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
Really
something
left
over.
K
L
With
legal,
the
largest
increase
is
for
outside
services.
It's
currently
budgeted
15
000.,
we'll
be
exceeding
that
this
fiscal
year
I've
recommended
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
again
just
just
you
know,
broken
record
again.
We
have
all
of
our
three
contracts
up
for
renegotiation.
They
are
expiring
on
june
30th
of
2019,
so
with
the
three
contracts
that
are
we'll
be
negotiating,
that
type
of
legal
assistance
will
be
necessary
as
we
move
forward
with
those
negotiations,
a
little
increase
for
the
outside
services.
That's
the
attorney
that
assists
us
in.
L
Grievance
grievance
grievance
arbitrations
and
issues
arriving
at
existing
contracts,
implementation
of
those,
so
that
was
increased
a
little
bit
and
again.
That
may
be
a
little.
B
L
D
L
Yeah,
we
have,
we
have
a
number
of
grievances
and
then
we
have
a
superior
court
action
and
then
we
have
a
issue
before
the
labor
board.
L
The
outside
I
mean
the
that's,
the
labor
specialist,
the
outside
services,
that's
for
exclusively
for
expenses
with
negotiating
contracts,
and
I
believe
you
know
if
well,
for
example,
for
the
this
year,
for
we
had
wage
reopeners
and
those
are
also
costs
associated
with
arbitration
expenses
for
arbitrators,
neutrals
fees
for
arbitrating
services.
L
G
L
Well
again,
these
are
all,
for
I
mean
I'm
sorry.
These
are
all
for
what
I
mentioned
is
for
litigation
for
collective
bargaining
activities.
There
is
a
small
amount
for
insurance
claims
under
thirty
thousand
again.
If,
if
the
trust
covers
us,
you
know
they
would
identify
us
and
they
would
pay
the
claims.
Sometimes
you
know
they'll
recommend
settlements
and
the
dow
may
participate
in
that
item,
but
yeah
we
have
insurance
for
for
reliability,
and
you
know
for
issues
such
as
you
know.
L
Someone
falling
down
dog
bites
various
activities.
Somebody.
L
Yeah,
their
attorneys
represent
us.
So
again,
when
a
claim
comes
in
now
we
are
sending
those
to
the
trust
as
well
for
illegal
determination.
L
L
L
I
have
to
go
back
to
as
to
when
they
are.
You
know,
as
far
as
the
date
of
service,
but
I
know
there
have
been
some
that
have
been
processed
or
in
in
the
process
of
being
are
being
processed
that
are
higher
than
this.
It's
not
reflected
here
and
again
as
of
january,
then
we'll
be
going
into
the
set
amount.
You
know
the
retainer
plus
the
legal,
so
we're
it's
up
until
january.
It's
the
old
method
of
billing,
as
of
january
first
it'll,
be
the
new
method
of
billing.
F
L
I
wouldn't
no,
I
wouldn't
believe
that
I
believe
we'll
be
within
this
150
000
and
then
going
forward
you
know,
could
be
less
because
of
the
retainer,
and
the
only
thing
above
the
retainer
are
litigations
that
were
ongoing
or
litigations
that
come
in
that
are
approved.
B
Any
questions
on
legal,
no,
we
already
did
public
library.
Is
there
any
department?
We
have
not
gone
over.
F
Thing
I'd
like
to
suggest,
as
I
know
it
can't
be
done
right
now,
but
but
for
next
year,
because
we
have
I'd
like
the
the
civic,
the
ice
rink
and
the
field
house
budget.
F
H
Sooner
than
on
the
end
of
march
next
year,
too,
right,
what's
that
do
the
sooner
than
the
end
of
march
next
year,
what
would
be
aimed
at
the
end
of
february.
H
B
Mean
trust
me
I
like
to
I
mean
the
school
department.
You
heard
them
say
they.
They
voted
on
their
budget
mid
february
and
they
were
done
right,
we'd
like
to
all
be
done,
but
again
you
also
want
to
have
solidified
numbers
where
you
can't
really
get
january's
numbers,
probably
until
the
end
of
february.
B
L
L
Was
what
we
did
but
clearly
clearly
going
forward?
You
know
we
we
can
and
will
have
the
budget
earlier
to
the
council.
You
know
how
much
earlier
we
certainly
will
so
more
workshops
can
be
scheduled
also,
but,
as
was
mentioned,
an
expense
side.
L
You
know
you
can
have
a
real,
relatively
good
idea,
especially
if,
if
you
have
more
knowns,
what
is
difficult
is
the
revenue
side,
and
I
think
that's
why
the
council
concentrates
on
expenditure
side,
because,
ultimately,
the
tax
rate
will
be
set
when
the
assessors
actually
certifies
the
budget,
which
is
usually
in
june
experience,
is
that
normally
without
a
revalue,
although
next
year
will
be
a
reval
year,
real
estate
is
pretty
clear.
You
know
that
tangibles
are
due
in
january,
but
they
can
have
extensions
to
march
15th.
L
L
L
L
It
was
pulling
keith
to
get
the
assessor
to
give
us
numbers
by
the
end
of
april,
because
our
budget
was
due
to
the
council
on
may
15th.
Other
communities
are
earlier,
so
even
then
they
were
reluctant
and
they
would
give
us
numbers
so
the
earlier
the
budget
is
presented,
the
revenue
side
is
the
most
difficult
to
do.
Clearly
we
have
to
wait
until
the
state
the
book
governors
uses
their
revenues,
that's
our
benchmark,
for
whatever
the
government
proposes,
that's
what
we
put
in
for
state
revenue
and
then
as
a
competitor
horse.
L
But
you
know
we
do
have
some
revenues
that
are
unpredictable
earlier,
but
as
we
go
through
the
process
you
know
they're,
subject
to
change
and
ultimately,
when
the
assessor
certifies
the
tax
roll,
that's
when
we'll
really
know
for
sure
you
know
what
tax
rates
will
be,
but
in
this
case
it
worked
out.
L
I
mean
you
know
any
benefit
that
we
had.
I
mean
if
I
had
an
additional
week,
I
probably
would
have
put
more
money
into
health
care
because
we
put
eight
percent
as18
but
as
it
is,
it
is
what
it
is.
The
the
current
value
is
change,
so
it's
benefiting
the
levy
in
the
tax
rates
and
that
amount
has
to
be
raised
from
property
taxes,
and
I
guess
the
question
is
you
know:
can
that
motor
vehicle
change
again
it
can.
Can
it
go
up
or
down?
L
Yes,
wouldn't
think.
That's
like.
I
wouldn't
think
it's
going
to
go
down
because
you
know
all
finance
people
like
to
be
conservative.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
give
a
number
that
I
shouldn't
south,
not
here,
but
you
know
when
I
give
a
number
that
is,
is
a
number.
Then
it
comes
out.
It's
wrong
and
lower
on
the
side.
So,
but
again
I
know
that
he
wasn't
finished
pricing
and
between
the
19th
and
when
that
was
finalized,
the
values,
long
story,
short
motor
vehicles
and
tangibles
are
difficult
to
price.
B
Thank
you,
and
I
agree
with
what
you
said.
I
think
you
and
I
still
need
to
schedule
that
meeting
to
talk
about
what
we'd
like
to
see
for
a
restructure
of
that.
B
Apartment
we
need,
you
know
we
need
to
look
at
possibly
going
into
negotiations
or
whatever
else,
especially
the
way.
The
contracts
work.
B
B
That
was
a
request
from
the
union,
and
I
told
him
I
would
bring
it
up
to
the
council.
So
just
as
we're
during
budget
time,
even
though
we're
rightfully
so
we
can
use
these,
they
ask
us
to
use
positions
and
not
names.
That's
all,
and
I
told
them
I
would
pass
that
along
to
the
council.
So
if
we
could
just
stick
to
positions,
please,
like
I
said
I
was
guilty
last
meeting,
I
know
last
budget
session.
B
B
I
know
a
lot
of
department,
heads
and
employees
are
here
as
residents.
Jerry,
take
a
good
look
around
all
right,
sir
there's
one
person
from
the
public,
although-
and
I
will
say-
and
I
refrain
from
this-
a
lot
of
department
heads
live
here
in
town
and
employees
live
here
in
town
who
are.
B
As
we
say
all
the
time,
you
know
everybody
likes
to
be
involved
and
talk
about.
You
know
things
that
go
on
here
at
town
hall.
This
is
the
one
time
of
year
that
you
can
come
up
and
share
your
ideas
if
you
want
and
which
would
be
at
the
two
public
hearings,
I
think
there
was
four
residents
at
the
last
meeting
last
year.
B
Mr
oates
was
here
earlier
quick,
so
we
had
another
one
but
as
as
you
can
see
as
we
go
through
the
department,
it
clears
out
pretty
quickly
in
here.
Just
the
die
hards
are
here,
and
you
know
the
four
or
five
that
are
in
the
audience
now
are
the
same
four
or
five
are
at
every
council
meeting,
also
who
really
care
about
their
departments
and
try
to
be
here
and
I'm
not
saying
nobody
else
cares
about
and
kristen,
I'm
sorry
you're,
always
here
too
yeah.
I
just
was
looking
that
way
and
sal's
here.
H
I
said
the
point
is
that
you
can
complain
on
facebook-
all
you
want,
but
if
you're
not
here,
this
is
the
time
the
public
hearings.
This
is
the
time
to
come
out
and
talk
and
if
not,
I
mean
you're
free
to
speak
on
facebook
later
on,
but
this
is
the
time
to
come
out
for
the
next
public
hearing.
If
you
have
something
to
say,
this
is
the
time
where
we're
all
heirs.
B
In
every
every
town
financial
meeting
we
run
into
a
hiccup
where
people
come
up
and
start
talking
about
the
snow.
Plow
ruin
my
lawn
or
whatever.
That's
not
the
place
for
that.
The
council
meetings
are
for
the
place
for
that,
not
the
budget.
So
that's
all
I
got
to
say
about
that
and,
like
I
said,
we've
got
two
public
hearings.
I
hope
the
public
is
here.
H
Correct,
I
don't
have
my
planner
for
me,
the
first
one
is
on
tuesday.
Is
it
tuesday,
before.
