9-.8% is the Town's increase after applying surplus. It was also

The Board's discussion with the Management Advisory Committee
covered the job description of the Town Administrator. It was
agreed that the Town Administrator is necessary to the day-to-day
management of the Town. The Board members ' job description was
also discussed at the same time. During the discussion, suggestions
were made to make the Administrator's position more effective and
it was also requested that Mr. Altieri write his own job description.
The discussion next centered on the Board members' priorities and
it was suggested that time be set aside for long-term objectives
so that short-term objectives do not take up 100% of the Board
members' time and effort. The Committee feels that the Town Board
should select certain objectives for the coming year from the list
of priorities and assign people to carry out these objectives.
There was an extensive discussion on cash management.
