BUDGET 2015-16
FIRE MARSHAL
Rod White was present to explain to the Board of Finance
requests he had made for a Fire Inspector who could help him with inspections
of businesses in the Town. He had also
requested that money be put in the budget for a part time Deputy Fire Marshal
that would be available if needed or when Rod was away. Following discussion it was determined that
$1,000 would be added to the Fire Marshal budget for a Deputy Fire
Marshal/Inspector. The Board recommended
$1,000 for the Cert Team budget to purchase supplies, since the State will no
longer be giving out grant money to the Town for this program. The Board members discussed the Fire
Marshal’s request for a pickup truck.
Rod had requested $40,000 for a pickup truck. Following discussion it was determine that
$20,000 would be put into the Capital Expenditures for a used pickup
truck.
HEALTH INSURANCE
First Selectwoman Gorski reported that the health insurance
premium would increase 6% not 15% as previously budgeted.
DEBT SERVICE
Board members determined that they would like to see the
cost of debt service for road repair moved back to the Public Works budget
rather than in the debt service budget as previously indicated.
After the changes have been made to the working budget draft
as suggested at this meeting, a copy will be sent to all the members.
ADJOURNMENT
Adjournment was called at 9:15 after a motion was moved by
Sally Huyser and seconded by Chip Spear.
The vote taken was unanimous.
