Old Business/Status of Year 2003 Fund Balances: The last year’s CIP
Appropriation Chart (Summary) and CIP 2003 Plan were distributed to all in
attendance. Lee Maloney is still in the process of collecting all
available balances. The Searles Fund balance, plus any rental income
collected, will be used to offset the renovation bond payments which are
scheduled to begin in June, 2004. The $100,000 bond is a variable rate
bond, not fixed. Lee Maloney will check on the particulars on the bond
and to explore locking in a rate while rates are still low. The Land Fund
is used by the Conservation Commission who has made several purchases
recently. The Road Improvement Fund carryover balance is not for future
CIP use. The balance needs to be netted with current
Church Street expenditures. A request was
made for the figures of promised funds for the Rt. 28 Substation Fund (ie.,
Hadleigh Woods and Lamplighters). A comment was made that only 18 new
homes received certificates of occupancy for the first half of 2003. The
collections of impact fees for new homes from January 1-September 1, 2003
will be available for the current CIP. Lee Maloney will find out when the
