Budget Committee agenda - January 19, 2009

David Schrumm's agenda for his meeting tomorrow:

BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETING
7:30 P.M., TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2010
ROOM 210, TOWN HALL,
84 SOUTH MAIN ST., CHESHIRE, CT 06410

AGENDA:

1. Roll call.
2. Pledge of Allegiance.
3. Water Pollution Control Authority budget.
4. F. Y. 09-10 Budget Status
5. F. Y. 10-11 Pre-Budget Planning
6. Adjournment.


And while I don't recall any public statements from the Budget Chair, I have asked him to clamp down on some of the Town's ridiculous spending in recent years - conferences & seminars all over North America, 6% & 7% payraises last year, etc. And I don't see any reason why that stuff needs to wait until "next year's budget." From my perspective, that stuff stops now - not on July 1 with the new budget.

It's one of the reasons I believe a GOP majority was elected.

That's right--eliminate ALL T&E. No raises either--you don't give raises UNLESS their is employee turnover and there is none...

How about eliminating Saturday overtime

If the TC & BOE budgets do not change, is it true the average increase per household in taxes will be in the neighborhood of $450/year.
