Date: Aug. 15, 1988 Constables Thomas A. Rankin/John S. Lowell TOWN OF NEWBURY SPECIAL TOWN MEETING RESULTS AUGUST 30, 1988 I The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by the Moderator, John Salter, who declared a quorum present. The call and return were read by the Town Clerk. ARTICLE 1. The article was read by the Moderator, moved by Alan Adams and seconded. Questions were asked of the Finance Committee. What funds are available at this time? None. Where will the funds come from? From the audit in mid to end of Sept. . Then why have a Town Meeting before we know how much money is available? We had to act within 30 days of the School Committee setting their budget. Will these additional amounts cause an override? No. Will this article have first option on any money available because it is presented first? Unsure. Can we act on Article 2 first? Options-suspend, lay on table, vote both down until we know how much money available. If we vote yes on Article 2 and the money is not available are we still bound to it? Yes. Louise Healey explained the school point of view whereby, after talking with Bruce Irving, they thought the money was available when they requested the $25, 000. Kriegle suggested a motion to amend the article to provide proportional amounts to each article. Dr. Fogg stated that the school amount is for their budget and can only be a yes or no on the full amount. Dr. Kohn explained what the school money was to go towards. Bruce Irving spoke on a Point of Order. He stated that he called Kohn after receiving a letter pertaining to EEO funds and only then did he call the committee by request of Kohn. The vote was called for on Article 1 as written and PASSED by a majority voice vote. I ARTICLE 2. Read by the Moderator, moved and seconded. Questioned by Gerry Reed of the school committee. If the money is not available can the Reserve Fund be used? No. Richard Walsh of the Finance Committee reminded the voters that if these amounts passed and created an override, then the entire budget would be void and we would have to start over. Dr. Kohn said if it was voted down then they would have to do a new budget requiring another vote and four positions would be lost. A counted vote was requested. Gene Case and Dean Robertson counted. YES 136 NO 43 The article PASSED by a majority. ARTICLE 3. Read by the Moderator, moved and seconded. This article came before town meeting in 1986 but was not discussed after Town Council stated it was the Board of Health' s right to make changes not town meeting' s. A judge ruled that it still must come up for discussion with the legality determined later. It was noted that this article is more restrictive than Title V. Richard Johnson explained that the Board of Health has already discontinued fall perks. He also explained how the perk time affects water quality. Joan Purinton, who initiated this petition, stated that our perk time is higher than all the surrounding towns. The Planning Board voiced their approval of the article. Mr. Machiros said this change would have extreme bearing on marginal land. A increase from 15 to 20 minutes was suggested but not acted upon. A -counted vote-was-taken:--YfS 142- NCr-25 -The ^articl-e- PASSED try- a--- majority. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05. 203 registered voters checked in. A True Copy tt�t Marcia J.
