The below is shown as presented at Town Meeting. I do not feel it can be presented one way and then try to say, well, it includes this or we did not include debt when we stated 2.5%. It is all included in one article with one dollar amount, same as last year and it shows almost a one million dollar increase in costs.

I move to appropriate the sum of Nine Million Six Hundred Ninety Thousand Two Hundred Seventy Four Dollars and no cents ($9,690,274.00) for the operations of General Government for Fiscal Year 2020, and to meet said appropriation with a transfer of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($250,000.00) from the Ambulance receipts reserved for appropriation, anticipated receipts, and the balance from taxation.

    Does (2) apply to both snow and Ice along with Advisory Committee? If so how is it presently utilized by the Administration.

    Section 6: Towns; reserve funds for extraordinary expenditures; establishment
    Section 6. To provide for extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures, a town may at an annual or special town meeting appropriate or transfer a sum or sums not exceeding in the aggregate five per cent of the levy of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the fund, to be known as the reserve fund, is established. No direct drafts against this fund shall be made, but transfers from the fund may from time to time be voted by the finance or appropriation committee of the town, in towns having such a committee, and in other towns by the selectmen; and the town accountant in towns having such an official, and in other towns the auditor or board of auditors, shall make such transfers accordingly.
