HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JUNE 28, 2010 Hearing opened at 6:45 P.M. with Councillor Salvatelli, Chair of the Finance Committee, presiding. All members were present except Councillor Nickel The following PETITIONS were the subject of the hearing: C-109 Relative to the appropriation of $97,730,000.00 to the City of Leominster General Fund Fiscal Year 2011 Budget, same to be raised by Fiscal Year 2011 Revenue. C-110 Relative to the appropriation of $4,400,000.00 to the Water Department Fiscal Year 2011 Budget; same to be raised by Fiscal Year 2011 Water Department Estimated Receipts as authorized by Chapter 44, Section 53E of the Massachusetts General Laws. C-111 Relative to the appropriation of $3,600,000.00 to the Sewer Department Fiscal Year 2011 Budget; same to be raised by Fiscal Year 2011 Sewer Department Estimated Receipts as authorized by Chapter 44, Section 53E of the Massachusetts General Laws. No one in the audience spoke in favor or in opposition to C-109. Councillor Dombrowski said at the last Finance Committee meeting he proposed approximately $500,000.00 in cuts to C-109 from the administration side of the budget and does not make those cuts lightly He said it is his personal recommendation to transfer any moneys cut from the administrations budget to the school department to save some jobs and programs. He said he knows it is not the Council’s prerogative and we don’t have the authority to do that but those would be his suggestions. His proposed cuts are $2,600.00 from the Assessor’s Expenses (line 24), $2,000.00 from the Treasurer’s Expenses (line 28), $440.00 from the Collector’s Salary and Wages (line 29), $450.00 from the Collector’s Expenses (line 30), $28,000.00 from the Other Finance Officers and Accounts (line 32) $1,500.00 from the Audit of Municipal Accounts (line 33). He said the reason he would make those cuts in the budget is to keep those particular line items consistent with last year’s budget. He said he understands from the Comptroller during the committee meeting had indicated that these matters were contractual. He said even if they are contractual he thinks the administration can come down and discuss them. Even if they are contractual it seems to him they are not bidding out all the contracts. He would cut $50,000.00 from the City Solicitor’s Expense. He said the reason for the cut is that he feels that the City Solicitor has become a lawyer for the administration rather than a lawyer for the City and cutting the budget insures better scrutiny when we want to pay money for legal fees. He would cut $22,000 from Collective Bargaining Expenses (line 37) to keep it consistent with last year and better scrutiny, $75, 342.00 from the Planning Department (line 55). He said during this economy we do not need a Director and Assistant Director. He would cut $2,400.00 Planning Department Expenses (line 56), $35,000.00 Economic Development Expenses (line 64), $37,880.00 from Police Overtime (lines 80) and $87,150.00 Fire Overtime (line87) keeping it all consistent with last year. He said cut $20,000 from the Snow and Ice Overtime (line 136) and $60,000.00 Snow and Ice Expenses (line 137), and $10,500.00 from the Christmas Decorations (line 196). He said if any Councillors agree with any of the cuts he requests that you bring them up. No one in the audience spoke in favor or in opposition of C-110. No Councillors spoke. No one in the audience spoke in favor or in opposition of C-111. No Councillor spoke. HEARING ADJOURNED AT 6:58 P.M. _______________________________ Lynn A.
