Council discussed the proposed budget and expressed concerns about the <br /> decrease in revenues commenting that if revenues were going to be less then <br /> spending should be curtailed. They requested the Finance Director to bring <br /> back a report stating the basic expenses,proposed projects and use of outside <br /> consultants. That way the Council could determine the bottom line costs and <br /> examine discretionary costs to determine if they were reasonable. Whether or <br /> not to use outside consultants to achieve these goals could also be addressed. <br /> For instance Council requested staff to bring back a report on the issue of doing <br /> building plan checks in house rather than contracting this out. Council <br /> believed the budget should be as accurate as possible and this report would <br /> assist them in achieving that goal. Casey also suggested that the proposed <br /> budget needed further review by the Finance Committee. She further <br /> commented on the $800,000 in the Solid Waste Fund which could only be used <br /> for solid waste projects and the several pieces of Town-owned properties as <br /> two examples of possible revenues which should be looked at. Council agreed <br /> that another meeting on the proposed budget would be scheduled for 5:00 p.m. <br /> on June 21St <br /> 3. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR: <br /> 4.
