Okay. It being 7 o'clock, do I have a motion to open the meeting? >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Excellent. Meeting is open. Uh this is a meeting of the finance committee. Today is Wednesday, May 6th, uh, 2026. Uh, the
meeting is being audio and video recorded. Can we please stand for the pres pledge of allegiance? I >> pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. So today we are going to review the warrant. Mr. Kelly, if you want to >> Well, I think >> take it over. First tell I I'd like to
tell you where we're at with the budget and I there's a sheet in front of you that looks like this and it goes down describing what we've done so far as far
as cuts, what we've done as far as reviewing some budgets. Some are still open such as CMS is still open because we're waiting for bids to come in.
Uh and water, sewer, and golf you I consider still open until we determine the offsets.
And I'm meeting with some of the insurance providers Friday to uh see if I can keep their uh costs coming down. uh
treasurer, collector and technology. Uh we sent them back to the departments for some revisions. Uh police were still working on as you
can see we seem to have come to a a workable budget with fire. All of these have to be presented to the full board of selectmen. Uh
and uh there are some budgets that uh as you know from the presentations are going up and they're not under the control of the
town. such as the uh elections and board of registar. They're just because this year we have a lot more elections than we've had in other years and it's a cyclical thing. and uh
the planning uh clerical position which this board and a majority of the board of selectment
even though they haven't voted on it they verbally said they want to restore that position. So that's why you see the increase in the planning board. Mhm. >> Good. >> Uh 16 departments have are level funded
zero increase. Six departments have decreased including the board of selectmen. Eight departments have increased and that includes those elections.
two departments for involving the elections and the planning board. And there's what I would consider a reasonable increase in the fire department. The uh you can see the decreases are in
red and the zeros are in black. 12 departments were still reviewing the budgets. If we have to cut, we'll continue to cut. It is nice to see our debt number go down.
>> Yeah. Mhm. >> And as uh pension we the pension line isn't going to change a lot but the uh Medicare number is
uh a formulaic on the total payroll. So that's why we haven't locked that one down yet. And that would probably uh change uh as soon as we get the
school budget and the number of layoffs. >> Quick question. Um, has there been any thought or discussion by the select board uh about asking the board of assessors for any surplus overlay this year or is that uh
not being considered? We discussed it and looked at what was out there as far as appeals and we thought it wasn't advisable. >> Okay. doesn't mean that if we needed a
little bit to balance the budget, we could ask them. >> Okay. Thank you. And uh the old colony is coming in before the selectman next Wednesday
and I think the school committee is reviewing their budget tonight. >> They're meeting tonight. So hopefully they'll be reasonable or they'll be looking for me with uh
pitchforks and >> uh torches. >> Burn the witch on the uh we've got a draft of the town warrant. Uh if you open it to page
17, that's where the uh verbiage begins. I'm sure Michael write his letter. Uh we haven't written
the selection letter yet. Article one is standard yeartoyear and yes there is a typo there and 2025 has to no I'm sorry that is right
because we're a year behind always on annual reports. uh article two, you will get that as when the warrant closes and we see if
there's any past bills. As of right now, there is not. >> Okay. >> That doesn't mean >> but still. >> Yep. >> Mhm. >> Article three is a typical
PEG access cable related fund. Uh, the only reason those numbers are highlighted is because that's year-to-year numbers, but I want to verify, give them the respect of having
me ask if they're right. Article four, five, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are the consent agenda articles that we usually vote on as a
group. Article 11 is the authorization of revolving funds and that is yeartoear. As you can see on page 19 that we have 330,000
in free cash available and we have three articles to expend it. one is to uh put 19,750 into the MS4
uh consultant account. This is not the MS4 stabilization account. This is a year-to-year article that we put in for our engineering services to comply with MS4 and all the reports.
Article 13 is the yes program and we've uh decreased it by 5,000 this year just because of what we need to do sad.
And then we have the typical capital free cash. We are looking for not to exceed 65,000 to purchase new turnout gear for the fire department.
The current second set is over 10 years old and is not compliant for certification. that it's very dangerous not to have gear that's compliant.
And you do need a second set because if you go fight one fire and then come back, you've got to have a second set to be able to put on that's dry, etc. We're
going to go out and answer the second call. For the police, we need to replace the 911 recording system that it's not to exceed 13250.
current system is not compliant with the federal state requirements including the mandated retention period and secure access controls. >> Uh 911 grant isn't paying for that. Does that go towards salaries probably?
>> Probably. I' I'll ask the chief, but uh we've got a couple things that uh issues uh that we're trying to rectify for the
police department here. We're replacing the Glock firearms holsters and providing training because the firearms we have now jam. Yep. >> And there'll be um I'll put the reason
in there, but currently uh I'd like to have the chief help me with writing the reason for the voters. >> Uh >> how about they jam? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We we've covered it in past meetings for
it and every single one of these we've said, "Yeah, it's a critical need. It needs to be done." So, >> yep. and we need to purchase seven new AEDs and associated equipment not to exceed 12 grand for the same reason.
And even though it's not my philosophy in this year, I'm asking the selectman to take 65,000 out of free cash to purchase and equip one police cruiser unmarked. I
believe it should be in the operating budget because they roll over quicker than what I think capital items could be, but this is not the year to jump back into doing that. >> Yeah. And we've also put it off.
>> They've been unmarked for a couple years now. >> Yeah. I mean that those what five years, right? If it's capital, it should be five years. I mean, they're unmarked probably go 10 anyway. So by that >> Yeah. But I mean I'm just saying what I know. But how long's it been out of the budget? Right. A couple of years now, though.
>> No, it was one year. We We use We put it back in in the fall. >> Mhm. >> For the We've In other words, we've missed the rotation once. >> Sam, how long's it been out of the um budget?
>> Uh the year we missed the rotation totally last year and now this year. So, let me ask you, do we know how old their current vehicle is that we're replacing? >> I think I
>> it's got to be more than five years, right? I think that's the point. >> I think it's at a minimum maybe more. >> No, I think the if it's the car I'm thinking of that's like an unmarked like 2011 Explorer,
>> it's probably 15. I would say if we have >> we have a budget with excess and in the ability to spend then yeah maybe 5 years or less than 5 years but I don't see us being able to maintain something in under five years >> uh and the near future.
>> Yeah. And then it's up to the uh new town administrator for his fall town meeting whether he wants to then purchase another vehicle once free cash is certified.
>> Yep. >> How much do we have in free cash? Is it just the 285 that's listed here? >> 330. Well, with the others, go back to the >> the other page. >> I'm spending it all.
>> That was the question. Got it. >> I know it. >> So, how are we paying the snow and ice >> uh transfers? >> Oh, you have enough. Well, we have and also the supplemental budget where
250 to 300 in snow and ice and then the uh over uh we've got a maybe 5,000 overtime with fire and then we get the police overtime.
We we put in for FEMA on that yet or >> it's >> yeah you put in for that but it's also >> it's going to take forever but yeah >> state has put 53 million into the supplemental budget to help the communities that were severely impacted
and I think we will qualify. >> Y we're at the second highest total snow total out of the state. will qualify but we won't get anything >> half a percent. >> Be happy with it.
>> And then uh the school department I opted for to repair the tubes and the boilers. That's not to exceed 95K. Uh, present boilers are in disrepair,
but rather than spend the 3 95, >> I opted for the 95. >> Do we know how long the 95 will give us for a useful life? >> Exactly. >> Aldo said maybe four or five years at the most.
>> That's just for the one boiler though. Didn't Aldo >> true. >> I thought Aldo said he was going to do one this year and then wanted to do one. >> Yeah, but this is for two. the 95. >> Okay. >> It's just to replace the tubes in there. >> So, we're gonna spend 95,000. So, in 5
years, we're going to spend 500,000. >> Yes. Exactly. >> And MSBA um has a a boiler program also. >> Okay. >> Just like roofs. So, MSBA will kick in the community percentage for boilers.
you have to get into the you have to get into the whole queue but um so it is >> so it may be you know a longer term than what they have I know over the years tubes have been replaced it's you know it's something that does occur that
>> it's a bandaid >> but it's a bandaid to get us to that >> that I that I feel more comfortable I don't know what you think you know that but so who's going to put that in like >> it would be up to the school department to put it in and it would go through the board of selectmen also. The school
committee and the board of selectmen have to vote to authorize the application and then it gets into the MSBA and then the MSBA will vote on the projects based on you know need and how how much money they have, how many
applications they have at the time, how bad it is. um you know so and some years they haven't had the the programs some years they have some years they haven't >> and remember things will be changing
substantially for the schools in two years because they'll go through all the permitting and everything else on that solar project and then they'll
have the construction and once they do that then their energy co the money they're spending on energy you can probably spend elsewhere >> now is the project the one that we talked about for years now the solar
>> the parking yeah >> so the boilers are in the middle school right the ones that are the issue >> no I was told both schools will are getting >> so I thought they said one was fine in the middle school and the other one wasn't like there was >> I I think there's two in each school.
>> There is two in each school and the idea is they do I was just going to say that they they alternate. So you always want to >> you know have both of them >> ready to go. >> So So are we saying that this So given the fact that in two years the utility costs may drop because of the solar
panels. What's the right timing for request because it doesn't eliminate the need for the boys? >> No, I mean for requesting from the SBA. >> Yes. >> Uh you can do yesterday. And so I guess the question is like is Aldo Aldo did that?
>> I don't know. That's a question for you to ask him. >> That's a question I can ask. >> I wanted to I want to know what the process is to make sure that things don't get talked about and forgotten. So I'm glad to call Aldo. >> No, I mean I can I can ask him. Uh
>> yeah, >> it shouldn't be asking. It shouldn't be. It's it's the expectation is is that you're now >> I mean that should be first and then come to us. >> I know he wants to order these and get the order the tubes
and get get the order in etc. because >> yeah you don't want to wait till winter start >> the the and the price could go up at any point as a number of things are. >> So what they run one boiler and the other one's like a backup stand. >> It's like a redundant. Okay.
Okay. >> So, a band-aid approach now seems to make more sense given the opportunity to get funding to help cover the boiler. So, that >> as long as >> as long as they're applying. >> Mhm. >> You know, if I recall, it's been a it's been a couple years since I've done a
roof project and but it was there's a certain time period that is open to apply. So, you know, this may or may not be the time. So, right. It's just a matter of making sure it's on the the to-do list on the radar.
>> It's calendared so that way when it does open, Kristen, to your point, that it's done. >> That That's all. So, Jamie, you're you want me to do it or >> you'll take care of it? >> I I'll >> It'll be your final goodbye for me. I'll I'll ask him to make sure he
communicates with you folks about his future plans on the boiler and getting money from the SBA. >> Perfect. >> Don't say it's your last. We haven't gotten through this yet. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Meeting yet, so don't
>> Yeah, that might not be the last ask for that, but I will have Okay. Yeah. You You submit a statement of interest. That's what they call it during the open submittal period. And usually districts get a notice either through, you know, their business managers group, through their superintendent group, from the
MSBA as to when that open time period is. >> Okay. >> Maspos still operating. >> Yes. >> Miscellaneous articles. The first one is
uh as you know when I got here I created a uh health insurance stabilization account. Well, subsequent we've had some articles that
uh put money into various health insurance type things. The money that's left over right now, I'm asking that, and it's short money per se, but I'm asking that it be put
into the health insurance stabilization. you haven't spent it on what we thought we might spend it on. And I'm sure I'm encouraging the administration to look at this each year because
our health insurance is a hybrid self self uh group plus self insurance plan. And if I was in the private sector running a
uh health insurance plan for a corporation, the Department of Insurance would want me to have two quarters of premiums >> in a reserve.
>> So I'm just hope the town eventually can get there. So where are we now towards that goal? >> Uh 50% you're about uh somewhere around one quarter.
>> Okay. >> I thought >> so 50%. I wasn't that far off. you want to >> uh the next article I've to check the wording
uh with the council bond council just to make sure but this is so you know what's going on and it's the uh to put 200,000 uh
into the payment for the ban on engine 2 EMS funds, but uh I've got to make sure of all the awarding and I will from council
and I'll fire chief and I are going to talk on it. But this is in effect a placeholder to do that. And as you know, bond council tells us exactly what to say. It doesn't give us
any option on authorship. uh article 1x is it might change the numbers subsequently but uh this is something the board has to consider. Uh
we are looking at taking and putting 25,000 in the reserve account from the EMS receipts uh to for the repair maintenance of department vehicles, equipment,
facilities and associated I put equipment or technology but uh and it would require a vote of the board of selected to spend And this is just so we don't have to go to town meeting for
minor repairs, etc. We don't have to come in and hit the the reserve of count if we have the 25K sitting there and it's authorized by town meeting under the EMS
from the EMS reserve account and it needs a vote of the board of selectman. It's I think you have reserve accounts in uh other areas such as cable and the
enterprise accounts. I think this is just a smart uh way to put a little bit of your EMS reserve money into an account that if the fire chief needs it, he can go to
the board of selectment and say, "I need X for quick repair." >> Is it just fire EMS or is EMA also or is that being cuz where he's he's running EMA now? Would that qualify that? I
don't think so. I I'm not sure you can use EMS reserve funds for EMA. >> I know we use it for uh additional funding in the revenue
account, but that's because of the EMS cost when do looks at it. >> Yeah. Mhm. What can the EMS reserve receipts be used for? >> Pretty much uh fire and emergency
medical. >> It's just limited to fire, >> but we use it uh as a revenue source >> if you remember. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> If we went beyond what fire and EMS cost us,
do would take my head off. I don't see a problem with that. >> What do you take off? >> To be fair, you're trying to leave us anyway. But >> I Yeah, I don't I don't see the problem
with that anymore. The next two articles are uh articles that fire chief asked to put in to repurpose some leftover funds in prior articles. I am there might be an article in the
warrant still but I'm waiting for uh the accounting office to give me the list of art uh old old articles that have money in it. >> Mhm. >> But uh we're still looking at that
because we cleaned it up so recently a couple years ago. There isn't much. >> Yeah, >> I like 18 though. Just sending 665 for 15. That works for me. The next article is the CPC article.
And as you've known from years past, I put 13,000 in which is what is supposed to be for committee administrative expenses. And
this the appropriation figures are based on how much you collect year to year and that's the minimum do says you have to appropriate but uh I anything that is not spent goes
into the undesated pool and I don't think we've come close to expending anything out of uh the administrative rate of cost year to year, but you got to put it in.
I'm uh suggesting that the beautifification committee uh have an uh $5,000 from undesated balance to take care of
some of the grounds around like town hall or buy mulch, buy Christmas decorations, etc. then just leave. >> Yep. Uh I'm suggesting
uh for this next year until they figure out what they're doing on all the detail money that the town consider 7,500 and from the undesated balance to take
care of some public safety cost for the Apple Peach Festival. So, you're going to pay the police details for the Apple Peach Festival out of CPA funds and that's going to fly. >> Uh, because you've been doing Apple Peach so long,
>> it is considered a historic event. I asked the same question of councel >> and they said it was okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. weather.
>> It's kind of what the town is known for. >> There could be another I'm waiting for the next meeting of the board of selectment, but there could be another town administrator expense from the undesated balance of
$10,000. And that would be for uh to for some of the expenses for the 2 a 250 anniversary parade. >> Mhm.
>> And I've talked to the veterans agent, the uh Miss Fiveras from the beautifification committee. They're talking also to the uh gentleman from the Lions Club who organizes the Apple
Peach Parade to see if they can put something together. It probably wouldn't be for July 4th because everybody else is doing one on July 4th. So, they're looking at a later date, maybe still within the year.
Uh, I'm asking for 47,500 from the undesated balance to repair roof for roof repairs on town hall and parting ways building. You've got two
historic buildings here that is starting to leak like a civ. >> I got a question. They did this roof not long ago, didn't they? >> This roof. >> That one. >> This that >> I was just I've seen them on this one not long ago. >> I'm I'm sitting under. Oh,
>> okay. >> Just that. >> Just for clarification. >> Look, they're going to include like the painting in the front and the >> what the columns? >> No. Well, the front of the building where it's all peeling >> that it wasn't. It's just the roof to
keep the water out. This used to be the ambulance bay. Remember that? >> Yeah. This was a fire department. I I've been I've only been here since >> Oh, yeah. >> This was a police station. This was a garage. >> I remember the police station, but I didn't know the fire department.
>> No, no, it used to be police station used to be in this building. >> Oh, yeah. >> This building. >> This building, not I only remember it across the way. >> Yeah. No, the the part that juts out. If you look above the entrance, it's got the old You can kind of see >> before my time building.
>> Yeah. It was all flip-flops. >> Wow. >> I've only been here 20 years. >> 27. >> I've been here my whole life. >> Think we could throw a few bucks in and replace the flag at town hall? That one's a little tattered. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah.
>> We we replace them a number of times. It's pretty sad. >> Needs to get done again. I'll let them know. Uh the next are the historic commission. As you know, year to year, we've been
chipping off at the various repairs. >> You place the ceiling in the apartment, >> the bar one. >> Yes. >> What's the terminology I was given? Yeah.
>> Uh, so you know, we've actually used some of the Yes Kids to do some of the work up there, too, as far as painting and stuff. >> And then we're I'm waiting on a price from the park department to uh get a
trailer to transport their equipment. Uh they had to wait considerable time to uh transport stuff for repairs, the tractor for
repairs, etc. to get a trailer from the DPW. It just makes sense. >> Do you know what size you're looking for? >> No. Chad's go Chad who's chair of the CPC as well as the parks is going to
he's done the research and he'll have it as a next meeting. But uh I have like a 7 by 16 I think flatbed where the the tail drops down and it's the whole
ramp for it. But I used to have it for my ATVs, but I'm currently not using it. And if they have an interest and they can use it, I'd be willing to donate it. I put new tires on it two years ago. Could probably use new sneakers, but
I'll have them contact you. Next three articles are placeholders if the contracts are finished in time. And I suggest the there be a tenative meeting before town meeting just in case we have to present
to the finance committee. >> Usually do one. >> Hm. >> We usually do one. >> No, but for I don't know how close they are even. >> Yeah. No, we usually do one like in
library. Yeah, but no, I don't know how the close they are in any of the negotiations >> if it's even going to be ready. The next is an article to uh
file a petition for special legislation to allow appointment of retired police officers who have not reached 70 years of age to serve as special police officers to perform police duties. Uh
police details. I'm surprised this hasn't been done already. >> Why? Yeah. Why does this need to be done if they're already building it? >> Uh this is uh the board of selection
uh requested that this be included. I assume it means that folks between 65 and 70 are allowed, but
>> Oh, maybe. I'm just wondering what the the need is. Is our need so great that they have to extend the retirement age? >> No, they're already doing it. That's the thing. They have >> up to 70. >> Well, they have retired officers working right now, >> right? >> Yeah. No. Oh, actually, well, >> well, I mean, today they had the sheriff
department, >> but I think it's a 65 to 75. >> But there's a lot more in this than that. That's the only thing. Doesn't the chief say that he has like a huge age gap between all the guys that are retiring and the next ones in line? He said he had like a big age gap.
>> Oh, but with all the with all the uh solar projects causing all the rewiring of town. There are more details than there are folks.
>> Okay. plus all the uh all the tree work halfway road all over the place with no detail. The uh next article is uh one that you see every year from the school department and it allows
uh the transfer of funds uh at the I assume the end of the school year to the school special ed reserve fund. And I think that it's been there as long
as I've been here. >> I mean, it's it's it's yes, it's relatively newish. I think it came in with the previous two town administrators before you. Um, but there is a limit, too. So, you can't just keep
socking away money into that account. There is there is a limit >> of net school spending. >> Yeah. the budget we talked about, the operating budget we talked about, uh sewer enterprise
and the golf enterprise budgets. uh figures will have to be based for sewer when and water of course when we're doing the rates and New Bedford's
cost for their services etc. Uh we'll be finalizing those in the next week. And then the golf course is asking
in article 28 for retained earnings uh transfer not to exceed 100k for the v capital repairs. That's also an article you see almost
every year. >> It's their own reserve fund. And we're two years out, two and a half years out for having the golf course paid for. >> Uh until you build the uh
>> the clubhouse. >> Yeah. But I mean, we're is am I right? We're two two and a half years. And I would suggest I don't know what the administration is uh thinking, but
my advice is that you do not borrow, you ban and you can pay it off a lot quicker and it's less cost borrowing costs. >> But it depends really on the price,
right? As long as you get the ability to pay, you can do short-term notes. You just only can do them up to 10 years. >> But after 10 years, if it's not paid off, you just read.
>> No, I mean, you you can't keep rolling over a ban, but >> but that's the thing. Like, is it feasible? That's what I mean. Depends on the starting price to determine whether it's feasible. very reasonable for it's very reasonable for you people to pay
probably it off in five years. >> Okay. >> Because they were going to be paying out of their reserve fund. >> Okay. >> And the golf course is paid off. So that monthly nut is gone. >> Yep. >> All right. Jamie Kelly said on May 5th
>> I could I could figure out how >> I need to write this down. It's going to be reported. >> I could figure out how to pay for it in five years. Other people might take seven. >> Neither one seems pretty reasonable. >> Be here in 5 years. >> Who? >> You.
>> The golf enterprise. >> Yeah, my husband. I told my son if they were allowed to go in the golf course after last last meeting. >> Why? What did you do? Let's just say my son was worried he wasn't going to be welcome at the golf
course if he had questions. >> Uh the next zoning articles and >> which we don't typically vote on anyways, right? Right. >> It's not. >> And and then after that are citizens petition articles like
>> and they have to they have to go on as written. >> Yep. >> And uh we've got >> Oh, >> we've got no uh
say on whether they're enclosed or not. How many votes do you need for that? >> The signatures 29. >> I think that was 100. Sorry, I think it was 100. >> Yeah, he came. >> He He came to the club.
>> Who Who did that? >> Um I know what is I can tell you offline. >> Fiscal year 28 29 articles pretty good. I know a lot of them are non-fiscal related articles.
>> And there was a write in uh candidate. There was a a write in uh Victor for moderator but uh he hasn't yet accepted the job.
>> So >> I can't say anything. Uh so what happens wondering if we don't have a moderator who >> then town meeting of parts >> I thought it was him by default >> I saw last uh at the grocery store talking a little bit
>> did you get him to say he goes >> I couldn't go >> I know that >> what does the writing candidate need to get to be u >> a moderator >> moderator you can't be part of it >> he was he he was the highest writing
vote getter. But if you only have one right in, then that's the victor. But this person got more than one. >> How you actually
>> you could win. If you're the only person and you're in >> I did, >> but this person clearly didn't know people were going to write them in >> if they haven't accepted it yet. wasn't that they >> well Pam has to get him to accept and
then swear >> but actually >> wouldn't those results be published anyway >> not the writing >> yeah the writing's usually published >> yeah but that's that's later that's later usually >> yeah she does like a preliminary and
then she does a >> right >> like a final and then that's where the writing >> making so for the MSBA project. I they're move they've moved away from boilers so it's heat pumps. So I don't know if that factors into I was just
like reviewing it really quickly. I knew they were phasing it in and I may have gotten into the one of the last few boiler replacements that I did. >> So now it's zero emissions or
>> so that might be one of the reason you know why they're going. If we call mass, you know, mini splits, >> you disconnect your boil or >> mini split like every single classroom, right?
>> Oh, that. Yeah. >> So, that's it. Any uh questions? I would say you could probably vote all the standard articles if you wanted. I I could read them by number.
Do we have any that anybody had questions on or was against? >> Go pretty quick, Damian. Then I would ask that you vote article 1, article 4, article
5, article 6, article 7, article 8, article 9, article 10, article 11, article 12, article 13, article 14,
Article 15, article 17, 18. >> I'm going to need to do those all again. I can't look any >> 21 20 21 22 23 Wait. 21
>> 20 21 23 >> 20 21 Okay. >> 24 >> um even though Wait a sec. Sorry. So 2021 22 I thought were placeholders. So we're still going to vote them even though
>> you vote them but then we pass over them at town meeting because we don't have the contract. >> Gotcha. Did you say >> and I don't think you people vote uh zoning. Do you vote zoning?
