The meeting began at 6:15pm.

Discussion: The Selectmen were present to discuss final recommendations for the budget and the wording of an override question. Jim presented several options to the board. The Advisory committee feels it is better to present a general override to the voters.

The committee agreed to take another look at salary increases to non-bargained employees if the override fails.

The meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Rauscher
