Mark
Marston stated the Budget Committee began the budget process today with the
Recreation department. Kim Marston and Kelly Willigar were
present to update the Selectmen on the fundraisers for Summerfest.
They also requested that the Board consider a
license contract to allow the town to show movies as fundraisers for Summerfest
and asked that the fee of $545 for MPLC �Motion Picture License Company to be
paid from the towns legal account. The Board will review the license contract
and discuss this further at the next meeting. 7. CITIZEN'S COMMENTS. Hollis Hafford stated he is not in favor in raising taxes for any raises for town employees. Hafford also said he thinks the town should re-assess the homes in town since he feels many values are not correct. Linscott stated that he is not in favor of raises this year but that Mark Scally stated at a previous meeting that out of respect for the town employees at the end of the budget season the Board look at the bottom lines and re-address the matter then. Linscott also said he would like to correct that there were no raises for teachers last year as M. Scally stated at a previous meeting. Mark Scally acknowledged that he stands corrected and
appreciated that this was brought to his attention. Scally also said he agrees
with Hollis and does not want to raise taxes but if raises could be given
without raising taxes that was discussed since the municipal employees have not
been given raises for the last four years. Scally said he felt that if town
employees are not given raises then the same should be done for school
employees. Susan Brown said she was in a learning process about the town
budgets and asked about the pool this summer and if this is free swim. Brown
said the cost for the five lifeguards and two attendants was costly and wondered
if a small fee should be charged for the pool use. The Selectmen stated the
recreation budget will be discussed at next weeks meeting but that at this time
it is free swim. Lelah Villalpando said she is planning a
Valentine craft time in the Library for after school on
