Mr. Noris handed out copies of the memorandums from the Town Manager to the
Building Department, Accounting Department and the DPW regarding reduction to be
made to their budgets. Mr. Noris stated he had a reserve fund transfer request from
the Fire Department for balance toward the purchase of a new ambulance. He stated
that the Fire Department was given a $15,000 trade in for their old ambulance and
therefore were able to purchase the defibrillator they needed for the new one_
MOTION: To transfer $32,541.89 from the Reserve Fund to the Fire Department
account # 3192304.001.
All in favor. PASSES.
Mr. Noris stated that the candidate he had interviewed for the secretarial position had
informed him that she would be unable to accept because she was moving Ms.
McShane suggested placing an advertisement for the position in the School newsletter.
Mr. Noris reviewed the memo from the Schools regarding the funds for the social
studies text books being used for both social studies books and science books. Ms.
McShane stated she did not agree with this because the School had presented their
need for social studies text, not science text. She stated that social studies books
should be bought first with the funds and if there is any money left, the Schools should
request and show backup for the science books they now say they need. Mr. St.
Hilaire inquired if an article had been placed on the warrant to change the wording of
the original article. Mr. D'Agostino stated there was no article and therefore the
Schools request cannot be voted on. Mr. St. Hilaire stated he would like the Schools to
come and give an explanation for the requested science books, but only after the social
studies books are bought. Mr. Noris stated that he would put together a letter to Mr.
Moretti stating the FINCOM would only support the purchase of social studies books
right now. That any other requests must be made after those books are bought_
