FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
AUGUST 30, 1985 10:00 A.M.
A meeting of the Financial Advisory Board was held at Town Hall on Fri-
day, August 30, 1985, at 10:00 A.M.
Those attending included members Richard Brunton, Walter Peklenk and
Reese James. The Town Manager Hugh Williams was also in attendance
throughout the meeting.
Absent were members Ben Cohen and Joe Murania.
The minutes of the July 22, 1985, were approved as written.
The following agenda items were discussed:
- The Town Commission's Resolution No. 477 dated August 6,
1985. The expansion of the F.A.B. from three (3) to five
(5) members was noted, as well as the expanded role of
the F.A.B. The F.A.B. expressed its appreciation for the
confidence the Town Commission has demonstrated in the
F.A.B. thru its new resolution and will do its best to
assist the Town Commission in fiscal matters.
- The Town Manager's memo of August 6, 1985, re. staffing/
Town Hall Complex was reviewed in much detail with the
Town Manager who, in the course of the review, presented
his rational for his proposal. It was the conclusion of
the F.A.B. that in view of the significant decline in Build-
ing Department activities, that a reduction in the depart-
ment work force was in order. It was also the sense of the
F.A.B. that the Town Manager's proposal was one method; how-
ever, it was also believed that there were several alterna-
tives that could offer even greater savings without a major
impact on the function and purpose of this department.
These were discussed with the Town Manager who agreed to
investigate these alternatives for a final presentation to
the Town Commission.
- The subject of future areas of review by the
F.A.B. was then taken up. It was agreed that
the chairman would draw up a list of these
subjects with proposed time table for their
action. Copies of the F.A.B. action agenda
are to be furnished to the F.A.B. members as
well as to the Town Commission and the Town
Manager.
