The Meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by the Moderator, Stephen L. Doyle. The Tellers were Doris Alm, Althea E. Alling, Ruth Hanlon, Eileen Karwoski, Eleanor Nielsen, and William Nielsen. The Checkers were Beverly A. Fuller, Catherine Flaherty, Elizabeth Hardy, Dorothy D. Leone, Sharon Morgan, Sherry A. Ryder, Beverly Smith, John Unger, and Mildred Unger. A quorum was present. The Town Clerk, Joan K. Cole, read the warrant. There being no objection, the Moderator dispensed with the reading of all the articles. ANNUAL REPORTS ARTICLE 1. To act upon the Annual Report of the Board of Selectmen, Town Officers and/or other Special Committees, or to take any other action relative thereto. (Board of Selectmen) MOTION: I move that the Town vote to approve Articles 1, 2, 11, and 18 under the scope of the consent calendar; MOTION: I move that the Town vote that Article 11 not be considered under this motion. ACTION: Articles 1, 2, and 18 ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY REPORT OF THE BREWSTER FINANCE COMMITTEE May 1, 1995 We would like to welcome you all here tonight and thank you for coming to participate in the management of our town. We will present tonight for your consideration a warrant which includes town and school operating budgets which we have reviewed in depth. In the beginning of your warrants, your will find a description of how we reviewed these budgets and the parameters we used in determining their merit. Again, we would like to express our appreciation to the department heads, committee and commission members who worked with us in developing the budgets. We are very fortunate in our Town to have personnel who are willing to work for the benefit of our Town as a whole. There are several articles in the warrant tonight which some may find controversial. It is the Finance Committee's responsibility to look only at the financial impact of these articles. We will attempt to answer any question relative to our recommendations as they relate to the financial implications. A lot of speculation has taken place recently relative to the increasing debt being brought before the voters tonight. Issues will include the acquisition of land, high school renovations, septage plant renovations, expansion of the library and undoubtedly on Wednesday night the new Elementary School. It would go without saying that the Finance Committee is concerned about these issues and the long term financial implications. All of these projects have received continual review by our Committee with concerns raised often. It is our expressed opinion that the projects being brought to you as taxpayers and voting residents are unavoidable at this time. As our population continues to increase we have no choice than to provide the services required by that population. 1 ATM 5/1/95 Recently I received a copy of a report put together by the Wellfleet Finance Committee. The report was reviewing costs and trends for the town over a twenty-five year period from 1970-1995. Although little of the information was relevant to Brewster's current financial status, the population figures really stood out at me. In 1970, only twenty-five years ago, the population of Brewster was 1790 compared to our current 8, 000 plus, nearly a 400% increase. That's a lot for a town to grow and we are paying to provide services to our residents. In long term planning, the administration, finance committee and capital planning committee have tried to prepare the Town for these situations. By squirreling away, if you will, funds each year for the past five years in our Stabilization Fund, or the Town savings account, we have $2,415,021 in that account. It is our intent to now use that money in order to offset the necessary spending for these projects. Although it will not pay the full costs of these projects, it will allow us to go forward with a stabilizing effect on our tax rate. As we go forward through the Warrant tonight, we will try to explain how we will use this fund and other financial methods in order to keep the tax rate within reasonable levels considering the enormity of our needs. In order to put this into perspective, for every $100,000 we use out of the Stabilization Fund over the coming years, we save .11 on our tax rate. Over the years since 1970 we have had several years of "growing pains". When I first stood before you as Finance Committee Chair, I was almost embarrassed to tell you of our free cash negative balance and our debt position. By using our stabilization funds and the continued retirement of outstanding debt issues, I can tell you at this time, that even with the projects going forward, our debt position at its worst over the next few years should not reach the levels we experienced in FY92. I hope you will keep this in mind as we vote on the issues at hand. We hope you will keep the Finance Committee recommendations in mind as you vote. All will not agree with our positions on several warrant articles, and that is as it should be. We will gladly provide you with our sense of reckoning with each issue as it comes up. Again thank you for coming. Respectfully submitted, Linda E. Riedl, Chairman Brewster Finance Committee RECESSED the Annual Town meeting in order to open the Special Town Meeting at 7:15 p.m. RECONVENED the Annual Town Meeting at 7:37 p.m. HERRING FISHERIES ARTICLE 2.
