What it means: This Article proposes using the Unassigned Fund Balance to add a 1-ton Dump Truck to the Town’s fleet for cemetery maintenance.
Those in favor say: No one spoke in favor of this Article at Deliberative Session
Those against say: It was questioned why these funds are not being withdrawn from the Cemetery Trust Fund. The reply was that those funds were being reserved for general maintenance. Also, according to Town Manager, the Dump Truck would also be used for other Town purposes (not just the cemeteries).
Fiscal impact: The $65,000 cost is being proposed to be withdrawn from the Unassigned Fund Balance and thus there would be no new tax cost for property owners.
