At the Annt, a.1 Town Meeting, decisions will be made on how much money and for what purposes Town Departments, Officers, Boards and Connnittees w111 have to spend. Proposed c~es to the Town's Zoning and other bylaws will be considered as well as other matters relative to how the Town should be governed. If you are a registered voter in the Town of No~th Andover, your vote is important and it will be counted at thia meeting to amend, adopt or reject articles contained in the Town Warrant. This is your opportunity to have a direct say in how our Town shouldbe governed. Municipal Te logy The following terms are frequently used in this report and at town meeting. In order to provide everyone with a better understanding of their meaning, the following definitions are provided: RAISE: To raise is to tax. The tax rate is dependent, to a large extent, on the amount '~spenff at town meeting. It is set by the Board of Assessors after the meeting. APP~~~: To appropriate is to authorize spending. Once an appropriation for a budget or an article has been made by town meeting, the appropriation can only be changed by another town meeting vote. There is one exception, a transfer from the Reserve Fund. RESERVE FUND: This fund is established by the voters at an annual town meeting only. It is an omnibus appropriation made to provide flixibility to meet extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures by town departments. It may not exceed 5% of the tax levy of the predeeding year and is within the exclusive control of the Advisory Board. SURI~U~ REVENUE: Often referred to as ~'Excess and Deficiency~, this fund represents the amount by which the Cash, Accounts Receivable and other floating assets exceed the liabilities and reserves. AVAILABT,~, FUll8: Often referred to as 'F~e C~h", it is an amount certified annually by the State Bureau of Accounts bydeducting from surplus revenue all uncollected taxes for prior years. These funds serve as the town's daily operating account and they may be used by a vote of the town meeting. People lucky enough to have money in the bank can and usuallydo spend it. A towm cannot spend its savings until the total sum has been certified by the State. STABIT,T~&TION FU17D: This is a fund created to provide a rese~ze, % savings account~, for capital projects. Appropriations from the Stabilization Fund may be made at an annual town meeting by a two-thirds vote for any purpose the town is authorized to borrow money under Sections 7 or 8 of Chapter dd. OUER~',&Y: The overlay is the amount raised by ~he Assessors in excess of appropriations and other charges for the purpose of creating a fund to cover tax abatements granted and to avoid fractions. OVERLAY RESERVE: This is the accumulated amount of the Overlay for various years not used or required to be held in the specific Overlay account for a given year, and may be used by vote of the town for extraordinary or unforeseen purposes or voted into the Reserve Fund. T,~,G_A_L T,~ I,TMIT: The legal levy limit is the maximum annual increase allowed by the State Department of Revenue. It is calculated by multiplying the legal levy limit from the prior year by 1.025 t~hen adding local new growth. This limit on the growth of the levy never changes except for an override vo~e or by the addition of new growth to the taxable base. NEW GROWTI-I: Any new construction or the lots of a subdivision which are taxed as separate parcels for the first time are considered new growth in the year they are added to the tax rolls. RTewgrowth also includes anypreperEv whose valnation increases by 50% or more in any one calendar year because of renovations or additions. In the ease of commercial or industrial propemyit is any increase m valuation over $100,000 which occurs in one year due to new construction or renovation. Utilization of new growth in accordance with Mass. General Laws Chapt. 59, Sec. 21 c, Paragraph f allows a town to increase its levy limit to accommodate the increased demands for services that comes CI-IERRY SI-FEET: Named for the cherry colored paper the State Dept. of Revenue uses to print it on, it shows the break down of State aid, lottery distributions and school aid as well as County and State charges against the Town. These figures must be used by the Assessors in determining the balance to be raised by taxation. Report of the Advisory Committee Town Meet~-~, April 27, 1985 To the Voters of North ~~r As a general policy, the Advisory Board has attempted to address what it feels are the most pressing needs of the Town. Our first objective has been to capture all available revenue sources. The result is a more reasonable financial approach to our budgetary process. In recognition of the Town's growing water needs, the most significant recommendation is for a new water filtration plant at Lake Cochichewick as well as a comprehensive study of the Lake. The increased pressure on the Conservation Commission to enforce the wetlands protection laws necessitates the addition of a Conservation Commission Assistant. In conjunction, we are reaffirming our commitment to a long term Capital Budget Plan by recommending the reestablishment of a "stabilization fund". Another problem facing the Town is the student to teacher ratio in the school system. We are recommending the addition of 7 new full-time and 2 half-time posisitons. In total we are recommending that the voters approve $1,517,630 in articles, and the amount of $11,100,000 in new bond issues. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank the Selectmen and their Administrative Assistant, Keith Bergman, and all Department Heads and their staff for their co-operation during the year.

CROUCH RAMSEYA. BAHRAWY Selectmen of North Andover ATTEST ............................................. CONSTABLE North Andover, MA April 3, 1985 ATTEST: A true copy DANIEL LONG: Town Clerk 51 Town of North Andover Massachusetts 1:30 Recommendations of the Advisory Board are included in tb~s booklet. It is your guide to the Town Meeting. Please bring it with you. Town of North Andover Massachusetts REPORT for the ANNUAL TOWN MtlETING Saturday, April 27, 1985 This booklet contains the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to be held in the Veterans Auditorium of North Andover Middle School on Satu~_s.y, April 27, 1985 at 1:30 p.m. It also contains the recommendations of your Advisory Committee. At the Arln112.1 Town Meeting, decisions will be made on how much money and for what purposes Town Departments, Officers, Boards and Committees v~11 have to spend. Proposed changes to the Town's Zoning and other bylaws will be considered as well as other matters relative to how the Town should be governed. If you are a registered voter in the Town of North Andover, your vote is important and it will be counted at t~ ~ meeting to amend, adopt or reject articles contained in the Town Warrant. Thi~ is your opportunity to have a ~t~ect say in how our Town shouldbe governed. The following terms are frequently used in this report and at town meeting. In order to provide everyone with a bettor understanding of their meaning, the following deFmitions are provided: RAISE: To raise is to tax. The tax rate is dependent, to a large extent, on the amount %pent~' at town meeting. It is set by the Board of Assessors after the mee~g. APPI~PRIATE: To appropriate is to authorize spending. Once an appropriation for a budget or an article has been made bytown meeting, the appropriation can only be changed by another town meeUing vote. There is one exception, a transfer from the Reserve Fund. RESERVE FUND: This fund is established by the voters at an azmual town meeting only. It is an omnibus appropriation made to provide flixibflity to meet extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures by town departments. It may not exceed 5% of the tax levy of the predeeding year and is within the exclusive control of the Advisory Board. ~IF~ REVENUE: Often referred to as '~Excess and Deficiency~, this fund represents the amount by which the Cash, Acco~mts Receivable and other floating assets exceed the liabilities and reserves. AVAILABI~ FUNDS: Often referred to as "Free Cash", it is an amount cemified annually by the State Bureau of Accounts by deducting from surplus revenue all uncollected taxes for prior years. These funds serve as the town's daily operating account and they may be used by a vote of the town meeting. People lucky enough to have moneyin the bank can and usually do spend it. A town cannot spend its savings until the total sum has been certified by the State. BTABILIZATION FUND: This is a fund creatod to provide a reserve, % savings accounff, for capita] projects. Appropriations from the Stabilization Fund may be made at an annual town meeting by a two-thirds vote for any purpose the town is authorized to borrow money under Sections 7 or 8 of Chapter d4. OVERLAY: The overlay is the amount raised by the Assessors in excess of appropriations and other charges for the purpose of creating a fund to cover tax abatements granted and to avoid fractions. 0VEI~,T,&Y RESERVE: This is the accumulated amount of the Overlay for various years not used or required to be held in the specific Overlay account for a given year, and may be used by vote of the town for extraordinary/or unforeseen puu~poses or voted into the Reserve Fund. T,~,G_AT, T,EVY LIi~IT: The legal levy limit is the maximtnn annual increase allowed by the State Department of Revenue. It is calculated by multiplying the legal levy limit from the prior year by 1.025 then adding local new growth. This limit on the growth of the levy never changes except for an override vote or by the addition of new growth to the taxable base. NEW GROWTI-I: Any new constrmction or the lots of a subdivision which are taxed as separate parcels for the first time are considered new growth in the year they are added to the tax rolls, lqew growth also includes anyproperty whose valt~ation increases by 50% or more in any one calendar year because of renovations or additions. In the case of commercial or industrial propemyit is any increase in valuation over $100,000 which occurs in one year due to new construction or renovation. Utilization of new growth in accordance with Mass. General Laws Chapt. 59, Sec. 21 c, Paragraph f allows a town to increase its levy limit to accommodate the increased demands for services that comes with growth. CI-IEI~-RY SHEET: Named for the cherry colored paper the State Dept. of Revenue uses to print it on~ it shows the break down of State aid, lottery distributions and school aid as well as County and State charges against the Town. These F~gures must be used by the Assessors m determining the balance to be raised by taxation. Report of the Advisory Commit~ee Town Meeting, April 27, 1985 To the Voters of North Andover As a general policy, the Advisory Board has attempted to address what it feels are the most pressing needs of the Town. Our first objective has been to capture all available revenue sources. The result is a more reasonable financial approach to our budgetary process. In recognition of the Town's growing water needs, the most significant recommendation is for a new water filtration plant at Lake Cochichewiek as well as a comprehensive study of the Lake. The increased pressure on the Conservation Commission to enforce the wetlands protection laws necessitates the addition of a Conservation Commission Assistant. In conjunction, we are reaffirming our commitment to a long term Capital Budget Plan by recommending the reestablishment of a "stabilization fund". Another problem facing the Town is the student to teacher ratio in the school system. We are recommending the addition of 7 new full-time and 2 half-time posisitons. In total we are recommending that the voters approve $1,517,630 in articles, and the amount of $11,100,000 in new bond issues. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank the Selectmen and their Administrative Assistant, Keith Bergman, and all Department Heads and their staff for their co-operation during the year.
