REPORT OF THE WARRANT COMMITTEE FOR THE OCTOBER 19, 2009 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING When Town Meeting concluded last May the State Budget was far from being finalized. Unlike past years when the Governor’s budget recommendations for local aid tended to be more conservative than the House and Senate this year turned out quite the opposite. The Governor’s budget recommendations were extremely optimistic and were significantly reduced in both the House and Senate versions of the State Budget. While the Warrant Committee took a conservative approach in the estimate of State Aid for the FY 10 budget cuts at the State went far deeper than anyone originally predicted. At the time of Town Meeting the only State Aid numbers the Warrant Committee had to work with was the Governor’s recommendation. The Warrant Committee estimated State Aid for FY 10 $454,000 below the Governor’s recommendation, believing that certain items were not likely to pass the House and Senate. As we now know the amount of State Aid allocated to Milton in the final conference committee budget for FY 10 was $331,000 less than the Warrant Committee projection. This leaves the Town with a budgeted revenue short fall that must be made up in order to balance the budget and set the tax rate for FY 10. There are only two ways to remedy the revenue short fall. One is to identify other sources of revenue to replace the lost State Aid. The other is to reduce appropriations. In other words cut budgets. Discussions with Town Accountant David Grab quickly revealed that identifying additional revenue sources was simply not possible. The Town already has a $200,000 snow and ice deficit from FY 09 that must be funded by additional available revenue from FY 10. There is not enough room in the revenue budget to absorb both the snow and ice deficit and the State Aid short fall. It is not expected that the Town will have any free cash available for FY 10. This leaves the unpleasant task of reducing appropriations or cutting budgets for FY 10. The $331,000 cut in State Aid was the result of an $85,000 reduction in Chapter 70 (aid to schools), a $155,000 reduction in police education incentive and a $91,000 reduction in general aid and payments in lieu of taxes. Last year midyear budget cuts were absorbed by the large departments, Schools, Police, Fire and DPW. After long deliberation and discussions with the Selectmen and the School Committee the Warrant Committee decided that all departments should share in the responsibility for FY 10 budget cuts. The Warrant Committee decided to recommend that cuts resulting from reductions in Chapter 70 and general aid be shared by all departments. The Committee further recommended that cuts resulting from reductions in police education incentive be allocated solely to the Police Department. 285
