Good Morning All,

While I agree the pressure is on, I think we can get it done. However, Ken Bond's firm has not been hired, a contract signed or payment agreed to. This must be done first.

In your report proposal I would like to see the underlined portion amended. To promise no employee terminations when we know there are duplications in the Clerks' office, Financial offices, Building  department etc. is not correct. We also need to add the recommendation of a hiring freeze on vacated positions.

We need to state where the police will be located and to receive from the Town proof of rental agreement which has not been verified.

Item B does not justify the statement that the present Village users will see an increase. How do you come to this conclusion. All users benefited bare the cost, so if I am a user and am added in I bare some of the cost. If I have misunderstood this needs clarification.

Sally

To All:  The pressure is on. The Village and Town must approve a specific date for referendum by Dec 20th That means we must have our report by Dec 13th at the latest.  With Ross's latest updates and some small info I need for Nancy I can finalize impact on Town/Village Tax rates. I expect to get these to you before the meeting.
   In order to accelerate our process I've started a proposed report (see attached).  Big ? is whether we want to propose and to what extent
a BID for a portion of the Police cost.

              The Agenda for MOnday.

     A.  Review  impact (rates) for Joint Consolidation
             (Discussion and understanding)
     B. Schedule needed to do to make 2013 State Budget Cycle ( 1 mil in 2013) S. Zimit

     B.  Review of Police Zones, Decision do we want to recommend it, what zones should it include, what percentage of Police cost.

     C.  Review Draft of Committee report.

     D. Still need projected water and sewer rates.
