HomeMy WebLinkAbout19711971 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS Advisory Committee Report and Town Warrant article~~ t~at have Been submitted for town meeting. Your Advisory Committee has reviewed all items in this warrant calling for the expenditure of town funds and has evaluated these items from the point of view that in this year of inflationary trends our major objective, consistent with maintaining an adequate level of town services, was to hold the increase in expenditure~ to a minimum which accordingly would reflect a modest change in the tax rate. Following this criteria, we have approved budget increases in those areas where we felt they were absolutely necessary and accordingly were able to hold the proposed budget increases to l0 1/2% over the 1970 expenditures. The budget requests as originally submitted by the departments represented an increase of 13 1/2% over the 1970 expenditures. ~hile it is somewhat difficult to estimate the impact our recommendations will have on the 1971 tax rate, because of the uncertainty of various adjustments, we estimate that if our recommendations are accepted by town meeting, the increase in the tax rate as a result of increases in departmental budgets will be approximately $5.00. In connection with non-budge~ articles appearing in the warrant which would require the expenditure of funds, we have followed the same criteria as mentioned previously and accordingly we are recommending only those articles that are vitally necessary. As to sewer and water extension articles, we are following the recommendation of the Capital Budget Committee, and therefore are recommend- ing that the funds for these articles be raised and appropriated out of current revenue. If our recommendations are followed on the non-budget articles the effect on the tax rate will be an increase of approximately $2.00. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank all those who participated with us during the year and who have made information and data available to us for presentation within this report.

Following this criteria~ we have approved budget increases in those areas where we felt they were absolutely necessary and accordingly were able to hold the proposed budget increases to l0 1/2% over the 1970 expenditures. The budget requests as originally submitted by the departments represented an increase of 13 1/2% over the 1970 expenditures. While it is somewhat difficult to estimate the impact our recommendations will have on the 1971 tax rate, because of the uncertainty of various adjustments, we estimate that if our recommendations are accepted by town meeting, the increase in the tax rate as a result of increases in departmental budgets will be approximately $5.00. In connection with non-budge~ articles appearing in the warrant which would require the expenditure of funds~ we have followed the same criteria as mentioned previously and accordingly we are recommending only those articles that are vitally necessary. As to sewer and water extension articles, we are following the recommendation of the Capital Budget Conxmittee~ and therefore are recomm~nS- ing that the funds for these articles be raised and appropriated out of current revenue. If our recommendations are followed on the non-budget articles the effect on the tax rate will be an increase of approximately $2.00. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank all those who participated with us during the year and who have made information and data available to us for presentation within this report.

Retain for Future Reference to the Building By-Law. 1971 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER Advisory Committee Report and Town Warrant _J repo~ non-budget articles tha~ have beensubmitted for your aotion,~ town meeting. Your Advisory Committee has reviewed all items in this warrant calling for the expenditure of town funds and has evaluated these items from the point of view that in this year of inflationary trends our major objective, consistent with maintaining an adequate level of town services, was to hold the increase in expenditures ~o a minimum which accordingly would reflect a modest change in the tax rate. Following this criteria, we have approved budget increases in those areas where we felt they were absolutely necessary and accordingly were able to hold the proposed budget increases Do l0 1/2% over the 1970 expenditures. The budget requests as originally submitted by the departments represented an increase of 13 1/2% over the 1970 expenditures. While it is somewhat difficult to estimate the impac~ our recommendations will have on the 1971 tax rate, because of the uncertainty of various adjustments, we estimate that if our recommendations are accepted by town meeting, the increase in the tax rate as a result of increases in departmental budgets will be approximately $5.00. In connection with non-budget articles appearing in the warrant which would require the expenditure of funds, we have followed the same criteria as mentioned previously and accordingly we are recommending only those articles that are vitally necessary. As to sewer and water extension articles, we are following the recommendation of the Capital Budget Committee, and therefore are recommend- ing that the funds for these articles be raised and appropriated out of current revenue. If our recommendations are followed on the non-budget articles the effect on the tax rate will be an increase of approximately $2.00. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank all those who participated with us during the year and who have made information and data available to us for presentation within this report.
