Good evening, folks. You are at the finance committee. Today is June 24th, 2025. It's a Tuesday. It's a little after 5:30. This should be a rather quick uh meeting. Uh we're just trying to catch up on some year end stuff. So today, who is here? Joe Dei is here.
Paul Connley, Robert, Sher Nolton, Karen Deowski. Thank you. Absent is Lena and David. All right. So, first up, um let's see. W this agenda. Let's take men chever first
and and if you guys don't mind, how are you today? Come on up. I am fine. Have a seat. That's not on your agenda. Sure. Norm is from the master plan implementation committee. I said that wrong.
Implementation. Yeah. Yeah. Implementation. We know what you meant. So [Music] there's two different things. Yeah, it's two different all the same. Wonderful.
Thank you. Game going. Yes, sir. There you go. Okay. The master plan implementation committee is responsible to make the best value of the master plan that was developed and
approved by the planning board. There are 135 major action items identified by the master plan advisement committee and there's a lead a lead team for each of the 135.
It's heavily weighted towards the planning board and the select board for lead items but there are believe 25 different lead organizations. The lead has responsibility to
get the get the task completed. There are multiple support groups for each each uh lead action and the finance committee is has several of the support groups.
We're asking that the leads prioritize their list and then that the support groups prioritize their list. And this will help us then follow what the what the biggest impact items are that need to be focused on. It will
also help us develop what we want to do is come up with a top 50 list so we can focus getting 50 items spent in a relatively short few years and technically added to 240 to complete the task. So what you have in front of you
are seven. Who gave you that date? You guys or the state or Well, last I knew it wasn't it's a it's a theory and it's a great book. I hear it's a good read, but it's not mandatory anywhere. No. Right. Okay. Good. Just No. All right.
Cool. Continue. Yeah. Um so there are seven action items with the that with the finance committee has and you have those now? These are in front of us. Okay. What we'd like you to do is individually rate them one through seven. Number one
being your highest priority and number seven being your lowest priority. We ask that you do not repeat any numbers. Some people give only ones and nines. Okay. Yeah, I agree. And it doesn't help us differentiate priorities.
Uh and we can do it a couple different ways. up on the top of your page. I will have my email address. You can email them to me by paper copy. If you prefer to have an Excel spreadsheet, send me an email.
I'll send you the spreadsheet. Okay? And I'll tally up the all the data and get it back to Joe for your for your final priorities. Are there any questions? Yeah. So, it becomes a priority. How does the finance
committee play a role in that. We don't find money as you know, right? We've we were in charge of budgets and Right. So, what's your thoughts there? But you you determine what does get funded? Oh, absolutely. Yes. When it's in the budget and coming
in from us. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So, that's the theory then. Yeah. Certain department will try to fund something, right, to go along with it. Then it'll go through the process of the budget cycle and then eventually get to us. Yes, that's correct. Okay. No, lots of this stuff will be funded by grants.
Some of it will be funded by the town budget. Um, some may never get funded because Oh, you just don't know. We can't afford them all. Have you seen our our program? Yeah.
So, so the idea is to get as much done that has the maximum impact to to uh improve the town. Gotcha. Okay. So, that's our goal, right? So, not everyone's a dollar value. It's it's it's a process, right? Okay.
Wonderful. Any other questions? You guys want to email these to them? That'd be the best way to do it. We can send it to Absolutely. Yep. Right. And then can you email these to the two folks that aren't here Sunday? You know what I mean? Tomorrow they're copies. Very good. Thank you, sir. Thank you
very much. Y appreciate it. Look forward to your inputs. Oh, yeah. Yep. Now that we understand, we'll get it right to you. Okay, thank you very much. Thanks. Okay. Um, we approve with minutes for 56 2025 and 520.
They will run with Any questions? No. No. I need a motion. The doctor made the motion. I need a
second. Second. We second it. All those in favor? Ch. Paul Conley I Robert Sharon de reserve fund transfer
request passing request funds in the amount of 5,000 for additional cost of gas for fleet vehicles. So guys as you know it's the end of the year this number is rather close they may need it they may not need it. The good news is as a reserve fund transfer to only can
be used for this. So if they don't use it, so it's back to our budget for next year. Okay. So no one can grab it and go spend it. All right. Correct. So the request is for 5,000.
Anyone else have any questions? I need a motion, please. Motion. Second. You heard that? Okay. Yes, sir. Thank you. All those in favor Joe DD I Paul kindly I Robert Sharon Elton I
Hey thanks guys. So that's done with all right so we need to vote to authorize the chair and vice chair to complete the FY 2025 year end transfers to the municipal modernization. We do this every year. Um, some
departments have some monies left over. Last year they went kind of crazy with it. Um, this year we haven't further seen much. Um, and quite honestly I think that they got they've done what they need to get done and I'm not I'm not going to be in
a big push with just I ran dollars. It's not going to happen this year. So I still need a motion though for me and the vice chair to uh move forward. motion. Second made a motion. He seconded it. All those in favor? Joe DD I. Paul Connley I. Robert
Rochek I Sharon Olton I may I thank you. And then we're going to review the proposed 2025 year in transfers. And as of right now I believe that's going to be your paper here. It looks like um it's mostly salaries.
Miracle part-time. Oh that's your budget? That's my budget. Yes. Does it income budget? No. I have that cuz I give it to you at every meeting. Oh, good. That's why it's such a boy out in the corner. Thank you. Appreciate that. All right.
So, we have nothing to review. I know there's some finances to do with um some um payroll. Yeah. Payroll salary line items that watching. Yeah. Some of it is the cemetery um salary line items for the maintenance guys. For the
maintenance guys mowing the lawn roughly $600. Um and then we are watching the solid waste overtime that could be upwards of about $3,000. Oh, so for the two that I know of at
this moment for year end transfers and we're watching a couple of the utility line items, the electricity and fuel, especially on um the public safety building one just keeping an eye on those. So those might be, you know,
a thousand or a couple of thousand dollars for those. But again, if we add it at the year end transfer and it's not needed, it goes back to pre-cash, right? And it doesn't change their numbers in the end either. So next year, it's not like I said inflated inflated, right? So
that's okay. We discussed that. We voted to authorize the chair and vice chair to approve 2025 transfers to the sponsors. Vote to authorize the chair and vice chair to sign reserve fund transfers for the 2025 year end should there be any
motion. Second. Seconded. Thank you. Joe DDI Paul Connley. Robert. Sure. I car um new business. Anybody got anything? Usually don't. Old business.

budget. There wasn't many questions really, right? I mean, it seemed to go smooth on our end. Yes. Um, so thank you. All right. Um, anything else, Laura? Sound missing? No, I think we're good. We got the two
votes and that, right? That gives us the authority to do it. We've all discussed our personal budget, so that's good. Um, need a motion to adjurnn. Motion. Second. All those in favor? Joe DDI. Paul Connley. I Robert check. Sure. All
