I agree, Dave, that such a refocussing conversation would be helpful, and I think our immediate objective is your option b)  "what ]the unified 2011 budget] would have been ... if we had been consolidated [at that time]."  I think I'll eliminate the "average" column in my spreadsheet -- since we rarely think half of the combined is the correct amount -- and replace it with place for our estimate of that 2011 number.  

After we have that task done, it be be easier to apply your percentage formula (and any other considerations you think applicable) to grow each number to its 2014 or 2015 value. -- Ross

I think we made good progress at last night's meeting however there is a lot of work to do so that is why another meeting in scheduled for 9/14 with another a week later.

    In going over in my mind the activity of the meeting I think we need to start off next meeting redefining what is our objective.  I feel there is a difference of  opinion as to wjether we are preparing a probable 2015 separate budget for the Town, Village and what it would be if the community consolidated  or   what would have been the 2011 budgets if we had been consolidated. 

     Following this discussion and agreement then we will review what we accomplished last night and see if it conforms and the continued on the review, analysis and resolution of what Sally and Ross have done .
