To All: Attached is an update to my file I previously sent. Found a couple errors. Also will have a comparison on income for Monday. Agenda will be to review our previous calculations based on 2011 Town and Village and see if we want to make any changes. Then review Kevin's committee input for possible changes. If the committee decides it advisable will then go to developing a Town and Village only budget.
MEETING WILL BE IN THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE AT 7:00 PM
To All: Remember we have a meeting next Monday, Nov 19th at 7:30. Will let you know where the meeting will be before the end of the week. Attached is a chart showing the data on expenses from Ross's 11-06 report with the Tn 2013 Budget. This will be helpful when we make the 2015 budgets for Town and Village as separate entities. On Monday I want the committee to re-look at the proposed merged budget and see if we want to make any adjustments. Dave
00:00:00 FC meeting starts right off with a discussion of the $520k DPW/Highway savings -- it sounds like this figure has newly arrived, at least to Dave Lent. Dave questions various aspects of this savings figure. Susan says that water and sewer was never discussed in the meeting between her, Sally, Bleu and Chris. She says that savings was identified in the purchasing of salt, in equipment such as the village being able to use town trucks for snow removal instead of contracting out, and in other contractual services. It did not include a reduction of staff or benefits. However, it sounds like the 2013 Town budget reductions are already included in the $520k savings.
00:08:40 At 8m40s the discussion turns to the HR report.
Since this meeting is many weeks prior to 12/3, discussion about the figures and the numbers themselves are still in development. This meeting is just prior to when the New Paltz Times (11/9/2012) quoted Sally as saying that the committee has
"come up with right now $1.4 million in savings" if merger occurs."
