Home My Public Portal About20150422 - Appropriations Committee - Meeting MinutesTown of Hopkinton Appropriation Committee Minutes of Meeting on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 Room 215, Town Hall, Hopkinton, Massachusetts In attendance: Mike Manning Pat Mahon Wayne Pacheco Pam Waxlax Shahidul Mannan Chris Howell The meeting was called to order by Mike at 6:35 PM. There was no public comment at the meeting. Jay Guefli was not able to attend our meeting tonight due to another commitment so Chris presented the Parks & Rec Director's updated revenue projections on his behalf (see Attachment 1.) Discussion of the FY16 portion notes that the revenue side reflects estimates that Jay has given to Chris based on current programs. The committee recommends that a business plan be developed to plan for the future of this enterprise fund. The town needs to determine what to do with it in the future and how much/if the town should subsidize it. If retained earnings are used to offset expenses in FY16, nothing would be left for future years. More detail is needed for analysis of individual programs with the split between revenues and expenses both for FY16 forecast and historical. At this point the committee started discussing articles and making recommendations. Wayne moved and Pat seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 22 - Fruit Street Auxiliary Facility - Construction, to borrow $500,000. The motion failed by a vote of 2-3. Discussion prior to the vote noted this facility would have batting cages, indoor soccer and indoor basketball court/practice facility. On the negative side there was a concern of increases for Parks & Rec related expenses to the town and would like to see expected generated revenues from this. On the positive side this would increase the quality of the Fruit Street facility, would be good to see it all built at one time with the portion of the building funded by CPC funds for concessions, bathroom and storage, may be more cost effective to build at one time. Wayne moved and Pam seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 23 - Joint Information Technology, to borrow $200,000. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Discussion prior to the vote noted that this is a borrowing this year for what is likely an annual expense. The town does not have the levy limit for $200K this year and free cash has not been certified yet to use that as a funding source. Wayne moved and Pat seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 2, FY2015 Supplemental Appropriations, to raise and appropriate $227,360 as written in the draft warrant articles and motions document (see Attachment 2.) The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. It was noted that Snow & Ice Removal Deficit Spending is no longer included in this article. A determination for its funding needs to still be determined once free cash has been certified. Wayne moved and Pat seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 5, Unpaid Bills from Previous Fiscal Years, raise and appropriate $5047.60. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Discussion prior to the vote noted that even though Cook and Company's bill (see Attachment 3) is more than a year old, they are a longstanding vendor with the Town's HR department and we agree the work has been completed. The other invoices are related to the DPW as discussed in the 4/18/15 committee minutes. Wayne moved and Pat seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 8 - FY16 Operating Budget as written in the draft warrant articles and motions document (see Attachment 4), as summarized in and supported by the financial model dated 4/21/15 on pages 3 of 24 through 13 of 24, bringing the total operating budget to $72,479,681.26. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Discussion points to bring to the BOS meeting next week when Mike meets with them regarding the operating budget are: • Parks & Rec comments as discussed previously in tonight's meeting. • Schools - Full Day Kindergarten strategic initiative revenue from Chapter 70 of $120k in FY15 and going forward annually was not realized making the initiative more expensive than forecasted. The schools provided positive academic improvements based on initial results of students experiences in this program. There is a question of sustainability of budget given student population has been relatively flat and new residences may impact future student population growth. • Assistant Town Manager - Question regarding this position's specific responsibilities in terms of need. Other requested positions had been identified but not filled in pervious budgets or shown a clearly defined need for the addition. • 2 Additional Firefighters - Based on needs identified during meetings, we analyzed the request within the budget presented and have options for funding this. • We continue to watch what will be happening to the budget in future years, especially with upcoming debt projects and avoiding pricing homeowners out of the community. Wayne moved and Shahidul seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 29, Community Preservation Recommendations, to appropriate from the Community Preservation Fund Reserves $407,000 and to borrow from the Community Preservation Fund Reserves $500,000 as written in draft warrant articles and motions document (see Attachment 5.) The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Wayne moved and Pam seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 43 - Acquisition of Property at 135 Hayden Rowe St, borrow via Debt Exclusion $1,800,000. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Wayne moved and Shahidul seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 44 - Acquisition of Property at 147 Hayden Rowe St, borrow via Debt Exclusion $1,500,000. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Wayne moved and Pam seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 47 - Acquisition of Property at 15 Claflin Avenue, borrow via Debt Exclusion $310,000. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. Wayne moved and Pam seconded the Appropriation Committee recommend Article 48 - Acquisition of Property at 102 Fruit St, borrow via Debt Exclusion $2,500,000. The motion passed by a vote of 3-2. Discussion prior to the vote noted we needed a better explanation for the uses and breakdown of the parcel, need an appraisal, there are a lot of land purchases this year, and possibility of future well expansion/use. Wayne moved and Pat seconded a motion to approve the minutes of our 4/21/2015 meeting. The motion passed by a vote of 5-0. At 9:30 PM Pat moved and Wayne seconded a motion to adjourn. The motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
