Finance Committee Minutes
Finance Committee Minutes
January 28, 2009
A meeting of the Finance Committee was held on Wednesday January 28, 2009 in the Superintendent’s office.
Committee members present: Trish Brigham, Karen Burke, Peter Cotter, Rebecca Millett, Kathy Ray (Chair), Mary Townsend
Staff present: Alan Hawkins, Pauline Aportria
Food Service: Alan and Sue Buckley met and cut the equivalent of a full time position from the food service staff as of January 26, 2009. Increased production and quotas for items such as number of sandwiches produced were covered with the staff.
Negative student accounts were reviewed and a program for write-offs and collections will be developed by Alan and Pauline.
Discussion took place about looking at having an outside company run our lunch program. No decisions were made.
Question was asked as to whether we have streamlined our food offerings, and answered that we have cut back on the number of offerings.
Question asked about how we have progressed on working on the amount of time kids have to eat at Pond Cove. Karen and the Wellness Committee have formed a group that is working on the issue. It was suggested that Tom Eismeier should be asked to attend the next finance meeting to update us on the progress.
Monthly Energy Report
Diesel is now at $2.41 a gallon.
Alan will be updating the energy plan for the public, such as how we have lowered the temperature in the buildings.
Efficiency Maine
Ernie is still working on the lighting fixtures at the High School gym that he got from Efficiency Maine. The Pond Cove and Middle School are completed.
Advertising Banners at Holman Field
The request to continue the banners that were approved last year were approved by the Finance Committee to go to the board for approval at the February business meeting.
09-10 Budget Format
Alan will present both the old and new format of the budget to the board. The budget books will be available about Feb. 4-6.
Presentation of the Budget
Feb 12, 2009 will be the first meeting of the presentation of the budget to the board. The second meeting will be Feb 24, 2009 and the third meeting, if needed, will be Feb 26, 2009. All meetings will be at the high school library. Any questions that come up while reviewing the budget books should be sent to Alan with a copy to the whole board so he and his staff have time to gather the information for the budget meetings.
At the Feb. 10, 2009 school board business meeting, Alan will give a brief overview of the budget.
The superintendent’s budget will reflect a 2% increase over last year’s budget per the school board’s target request.
The next meeting of the Finance Committee will be held at 6:30 pm on Feb. 24, 2009 at the high school library prior to the budget meeting.
