ferring from the reserve to the Planning Dept. of $6,000.

Fund at a Special Town Meeting and would agree to
restrict transfer to an "as needed basis."

through the engineering budget, that position should
be utilized.

not be discussing personel issues but should stick
to matters related to finance only.
