Report of the North Andover Advisory Board TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: Once again the citizens of North Andover are being called upon to consider the prudent use of limited funds to the best interest of the entire community. The major considerations this year are: 1) Requests for wage and salary increases; 2) Requests for large quantities of equipment in the Board of Public Works and Highway Dept.: 3) Budget increases. Your Advisory Board has very carefully inquired into all three areas. We feel that we cannot recommend any wage increases at this time since the Town Meeting of 1964 adopted Article 10 of the warrant to become effec- tive July ], 1964. This Personnel By-Law provides for a built-in ~vage increase in 1965 amounting to approximately $40,000.00 over 1963 levels. This amount will increase to $44,000.00 in 1966 and to $49,000.00 in 1967. This By-Law covers approximately ninety-four full time employees in the community and seventy-one part time employees. May we remind you that this does not include the School Department salary budget increase which is approximately $53,000.00 over 1964. Your Advisory Board is fully aware of the condition in which we have allowed our motor vehicles and earth moving equipment to deteriorate. We do not, however, feel that it is sound fiscal planning to borrow money to correct this condition. We therefore are recommending that we buy and pay for those improvements which appear most urgent. --3-- We have examined each and every budget very care- fully and have reduced requests where possible but only where requests were not in proportion to 1964 expenditures. If the recommendations of the Advisory Board are accepted by this Town Meeting, the effect will be an in- crease of $3.00 in our tax rate. We think any further in- crease would be unjustified at this time and not in the best interests of North Andover. We are grateful to the many town officials and de- partment heads who have cooperated so patiently during the preparation of this report. We urge you to attend the Town Meeting which will be held in the Veterans' Auditorium in the North Andover High School at 1:30 P.M., March 13, 1965. The Town Meeting gives you the opportunity to vote on how your money will be spent. If you are not there others will decide for you. Respectfully submitted, NORTH ANDOVER ADVISORY BOARD Theodore Peters, Chairman Douglas B. Allen Donald W. Coan Atty. Herve Moison Roger Pelletier Vance C. Peterson Atty. Merrill Rosenberg John J. Shaughnessy Fred B. Stephenson YOUR TALLY SHEET FOR ARTICLES REQUESTING FUNDS REMEMBER: Each time the Town votes to raise and appropriate approximately $24,000.00 means an increase of $1.00 in your tax rate per $1,000.00 of assessed valUation. 10.
