of meals sales will generate $70,000 in meals tax revenue. Again while there is currently no historical data the Town has small but successful franchise restaurants and many other small restaurants and sandwich shops that are very successful. It is certainly conceivable that those restaurants already have food sales exceeding $9,333,000. The Town currently has two new and wonderful restaurants that even if evaluated in the context of a good economy are doing very well. When measured against a bad economy, their initial performance is incredible. While we don’t know the volume of sales from these new restaurants it is reasonable to assume that their sales will significantly increase the sale of food in the Town. The Warrant Committee believes that future revenues generated from a local meals tax will exceed the $70,000 imputed from the State’s estimate. The Warrant Committee sought feedback from the two new restaurants in the Town as to the impact that a local meals tax may have on their businesses. Vance Welch speaking for both new restaurants in the Town addressed the Committee. Mr. Welch stated that he is aware of the revenue needs of the Town. He will support the new meals tax if it will help Town finances. Mr. Welch did not think that the tax would have a significant impact on business provided that most communities in the area adopted the local meals tax option. He stated that he does have concerns if Milton is the only community in the area to adopt the local meals tax option. Mr. Welch urged that we not be too hasty in adopting the new tax. The cities of Boston, Cambridge and Brookline have all indicated that they will adopt the new tax. Other communities are contemplating but have not as of yet indicated if they will support a local meals tax. Other communities have already indicated that they will not support the local meals tax option. The Warrant Committee carefully considered all of the information before it and believes that the benefit of the new revenue source will outweigh the potential negative impact. In an effort to address the expressed concern of business owners the Warrant Committee has decided to recommend that the new tax not be imposed until April 1, 2010. The Committee believes that this will provide the new restaurants in the Town sufficient time to establish themselves and allow time to assess the impact on communities that have decided to adopt the tax earlier. The Warrant Committee anticipates that fiscal year 2010 will be a year filled with financial turmoil. The Town as you all know was the beneficiary of a $3.5 million proposition 2 1/2 override thanks to the concerned and caring residents of the Town. The override will allow the Town to continue to provide the quality of service that is expected by the residents of the Town. While the economy is starting to show significant signs of improving, the financial position of 288
the State still remains tenuous. The State’s stabilization fund has been significantly depleted and tax revenues are not expected to recover quickly. All signs indicate that the Town should anticipate additional cuts in State aid during fiscal year 2010. The Town will not have any free cash available for 2010 to absorb reductions in State aid. The Warrant Committee has set aside $49,000 for the reserve fund to help fund State aid reductions. As the year continues the Warrant Committee may be able to free some additional reserve funds for this purpose. The Committee feels any reserve funds available to mitigate cuts in State aid while helpful will not be sufficient to make a significant impact. Any significant reduction in State aid for 2010 will result in departmental budget cuts. As was the case last fiscal year the Warrant Committee is currently developing a communication to all Town departments with a recommendation to curtail spending in anticipation of these reductions.
