HomeMy WebLinkAbout19671967 TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS Advisory Committee Report and Town Warrant REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOWN MEETING MARCH 1967 FELLOW CITIZENS OF NORTH ANDOVER: On The pages That follow in This report are The recommendations of your Advisory Committee. In This connection, a great deal of time and effort bas been expended in The interest of making The best possible decisions directed Toward a sound economic climate. While you may not agree with all of These decisions, should be recognized That The underlying motives can only be identified with The overall welfare of The Town~ its citizens and yourself. AT The start of our meeTings~ it was obvious That unless careful restraints were exercised The 1967 Tax rate would reach extreme proportions. As a matter of fact, at one point in Time The Committee was faced with a situation whereby The sum of $350,000 in expenses beyond anticipated revenue would be placed upon the Town should all requests for funds be approved. Moreover~ The usual so-called available funds Turned out To be $60,000 instead of The expected $184,000 Thus reducing This source of income by roughly $124,000. In short, we were faced with The need To pro- vide one-half million dollars of additional revenue. We are sure you will agree that To proceed without judicious restraint would be econimically unfair To our people and most certainly would not be in keeping with our responsibility as an Advisory Committee. Toward this end, The recommendations reflect our collective opinion as To what we believe is the best course To follow within sound economic limits while continuing and even imp~roving The services and benefits maintained over past years. A good purpose may be served in explaining The rationale behind our approval of certain of the major cost items appearing within This report particularly in The areas of education, welfare and health. A school budget providing for an increase of money in excess of $200~000 was submitted by The School Committee. The Advisory Committee hearily concurs with The prudent expenditure of money Toward The end of enhancing our school system so That The children of The Town in The formative years of life can be exposed To The best possible educational Techniques, facilities and Teachers. While we have no author- ity as a body To recommend acceptance or rejection of such school expenditures, we feel That we would be remiss if we did not comment favorably upon This need for addi?ional revenue. As you may know, There is a serious situation within our Town with respect To its water supply. While, at The present Time, it is not deemed To be critical, if prompt action is not Taken it could result in a potential health hazard and an annoying inconvenience To The Town and people of North Andover. We have satisfied ourselves That There is an urgent need for additional water and The drilling of new wells as a source of supply is a practical answer. Upon our recommendation of last year, an Ad Hoc Committee was named ~o sTudy~ on a composite basis, The need for a new police sTaTion~ new fire station and a new Town garage To house and maintain Town equipment. The report of That Committee places a priority on ~he police station and concurs on The need for a fire s~aTion and a Town garage, in This order. We are Taking The first step in answering such needs by recommending The erection of a new police station with The hope That ec- onomic circumstances in future years will allow The Town To satisfy These other needs. As you may know, an unhealthy air pollution condition has occurred due to spontaneous combustion causing fires in the town dump. Investigation has revealed that the most practical'way to remedy this situation is to provide the highway surveyor with much needed equipment to effectively operate it as a land filled facility. We believe that it is imperative to take action this year to eliminate or minimize the adverse effects being produced. We feel that we would be failing in our duties if we did not recognize in some objective way the performance and dedication of the people who work in the various town departments in order to provide services and conveniences to our citizens. Therefore, realizing that the cost of living has been increasing each year, we are in agreement that a substantial part of the Personnel Board's recommendation for increasing salaries and wages should be put into effect beginning April 1, 1967. In conclusion, we would like to make the observation that a town is good be- cause of the inherent value and quality of its citizens and the wisdom and fore- sight of its administrators. In making our judgments, we have tried to keep these points in mind as criteria. If the Committee's recommendations are followed it would appear, and this is an estimate, that the tax rate would increase by approximately $8. We realize that this is a significant hike in the tax rate, but we believe it is necessary in the best interests of North Andover.
