Minutes of Meeting on Monday, May 2-3, 2016
Room 257, Hopkinton Middle School, Hopkinton, Massachusetts
In attendance:
Mike Manning
Hanan Cohen
Pam Waxlax
Chris Sandini
The meeting was called to order by Mike at 6:30 PM.
There was no public comment at the meeting.
We discussed Mike’s presentation at ATM for the operating budget (see Attachment 1.) The debt
schedule is not complete and we discussed that this schedule should only reflect excluded debt as all
other debt is borrowed within the levy limit. Based on information from last fall’s STM, we were able to
determine what the impact would be to the average homeowner so that Mike could deliver this
information verbally. The taxpayers of the town should be made aware of the impact of excluded debt,
especially with 3 large projects coming online in the next two years, and next year’s presentation will
have such a slide included.
Pam moved and Hanan seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 2, FY2 016
Supplemental Appropriations, as written in the warrant articles and motions document. The motion
passed by a vote of 3-0.
Pam moved and Hanan seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 4 - Unpaid Bills from
Previous Fiscal Years, that the Town vote to authorize payment of the following bills incurred in a
previous year, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, section 64 of the Massachusetts General
Laws, as follows, said sums to be paid out of the FY2016 Operating Budget:
Dept #-Name, Vendor, Amount
145-Treasurer/Collector, Unibank, $2000.00
161-Town Clerk, LHS Associates, Inc., $599.00
145-Treasurer/Collector, New England Office Supply, $89.53
410-Engineering & Facilities, W.B. Mason, $453.72
The motion passed by a vote of 3-0. Discussion prior to the vote noted the warrant incorrectly has this
coming from free cash, not a budget transfer.
Pam moved and Hanan to reopen Article 8, fiscal 2017 Operating Budget. The motion passed by a vote
of 3-0.
Pam moved and Hanan seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 8 – Fiscal 2017
Operating Budget as written in the Warrant Articles and Motions document, except that all enterprise
fund revenues are deemed to be from FY2017 rather than FY2016 as stated therein, as summarized in
and supported by the financial model from Attachment 4 to the 4/27/16 minutes on pages 3 of 16
through 16 of 16, bringing the total operating budget to $75,982,132.38. The motion passed by a vote of
3-0. Discussion prior to the vote noted the motion had changed slightly since our vote on 4/27/16, but
none of the amounts had changed. The Appropriation Committee Recommendations (see Attachment 2)
was made available as a handout at ATM.
Pam moved and Hanan seconded to reopen Article 30 – Cemetery Roadway Opening. The motion
passed by a vote of 3-0.
Pam moved and Hanan seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 30 – Cemetery
Roadway Opening, to transfer $2,500 from the Sale of Lots Fund. The motion passed by a vote of 3-0.
Discussion prior to the vote noted we had the wrong amount in the original vote we made.
At 6:50 PM, we moved to the Hopkinton Middle School Auditorium for ATM.
At 11:00 PM on Monday May 2, 2015 at the adjournment of Annual Town Meeting for the evening, Pam
moved and Hanan seconded a motion to adjourn, to reconvene the following night prior to Annual Town
Meeting. The motion passed by a vote of 3-0.
Mike reconvened the meeting at 6:50 PM on Tuesday May 3, 2016 in the auditorium at the Hopkinton
Middle School.
Hanan moved and Pam seconded a motion to approve the minutes of our 4/27/2016 meeting. The
motion passed by a vote of 3-0.
At 10:06 PM Pam moved and Hanan seconded a motion to adjourn at the conclusion of Annual Town
Meeting. The motion passed by a vote of 3-0.

Appropriation Committee Recommendations
Annual Town Meeting
May 2, 2016
Middle School Auditorium
To the Citizens of Hopkinton:
The Appropriations Committee has reviewed the FY2017 operating budget presented by the Town
Manager and Board of Selectmen, and presents it to Town Meeting for consideration. During the
budget process for fiscal year 2017, the Committee continued to focus on the Town’s ability and desire
to pay for services and infrastructure development, with evaluation of strategic initiatives and emphasis
on long‐term sustainability in future years.
The challenge to support services at a level acceptable to the citizens of Hopkinton remains a major
struggle. Across all departments, payroll and employee benefits continue to be the biggest drivers of
spending. Additionally, new mandates from the state must be included in the operating budget and
accounted for in future years’ budget growth. We have tried to be mindful of the need to balance
maintenance and improvement of the Town’s infrastructure against raising taxes.
We continue to make use of free cash for appropriations for Pay‐as‐you‐go capital and continued
investment in both the General Stabilization Fund and Other Post‐Employment Benefits Liability Trust
Fund (OPEB). This year we are also utilizing it to increase our pavement management budget to
augment the Chapter 90 funds provided by the state.
Investments in the General Stabilization Fund are critical in maintaining the excellent bond rating that
the Town has been able to achieve, and in maintaining and strengthening the financial condition of the
Town. With the underride of two years ago, bond agencies no longer weigh the town’s excess levy
capacity as heavily when determining our bond rating. Following the cost inflation of health care over
the past few decades, communities across the country are required to measure and report their OPEB
liability on their financial statements. With Town Meeting’s approval of this article, Hopkinton would
both fully fund its annual required contribution for this liability as well as capture the underfunded
portion from FY15, there by fully funding our obligation for the first time.
As with every year, it is only through continued dialogue among citizens, employees, elected officials
and board/committee volunteers that we will succeed in providing a balance between taxes and Town
services.
Respectfully Submitted,
The Hopkinton Appropriation Committee
