Mtg notes: Selectmen 01.21.15 – Selectmen to seek Prop 2 1/2 override in FY17

The three pronged strategy calls for a) an override in FY16 to cover health care costs associated with an injured fire fighter b) using one time “free cash” to underwrite FY16 operations which will serve as a bridge to c) an operations override in 2017. Hurley opposed the motion saying “it’s not a strategy . . . it’s playing with fire.”
