Paul Lindoerfer, Chair of the Tax Analysis Task Force, presented their comparative study of Easton’s town spending. Spending in different areas of government was compared to that of similar-sized towns, specifically Redding, Weston, and Woodbridge. The study was not conclusive as there are many variables that need to be deciphered.

The P&R Extended Day Director’s salary was discussed. The Board will take the funds from the P&R Activity Fund to cover the wages included in the General Fund P&R Budget for the upcoming 2010-2011 fiscal year.

The Public Works Capital Project to rebuild Morehouse Road is eliminated from the 2010-11 budget and will be considered as a project at a later date. There are LoCIP funds of $232,000 available and the balance would need to be considered for bonding.

Ed Nagy informed the Board of possible unexpended funds in the Highway budget ($7,000 in the overtime account) and approximately $25,000 in the 660 Morehouse Road Wage account.

Sal Tartaglione moved and Andy Kachele seconded a motion to adjourn at 9:51 p.m. Motion unanimously carried.
