These are Zoom only meetings. Scheduled dates are: &nbsp;Feb 5th, 2022 at 11AM and Feb 14th, 2022 at 6:30 PM. I don&#8217;t know what it says for the state of romance in Norwich that the Selectboard scheduled a meeting for Valentine&#8217;s Day evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kudos to the Selectboard for scheduling these extra sessions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some questions I hope are addressed at the first meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When does early and\/or absentee voting begin?<\/li><li>When will the Town Report be available to the public?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Budget <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This budget is advertised as a &#8220;level-service&#8221; operating budget. However, I am having a bit of difficulty with that characterization based on the number of new initiatives in the budget and increases in designated fund funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Where can the public view the budget, in advance of the publication of the Town Report?<\/li><li>What was the COLA used for wages and salary in this budget?<\/li><li>By what percentage have health insurance premiums increased in 2022, compared to 2021?<\/li><li>What new initiatives are in the budget? [My review reveals at least five new initiatives in the budget. These include: a  Regional Energy Coordinator (previously a separate article), adding a part-time Zoning Administrator, funding for police body cameras, funding for a police vehicle, and a new line item named &#8220;Legal&#8221; funded at $90,000. Are there other new or expanded expenditures in the budget?]<\/li><li>What accounts for the jump in the line item for Telephone in the Finance Department, Recreation Department and Planning Department?<\/li><li>Last year, the Town had a $300,000 budget surplus. How are last year&#8217;s under spent line items addressed in this budget?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Article 7<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Article 7 creates and funds an &#8220;Unanticipated Expenses and Emergency Reserve Fund&#8221;. The Town will use $750,000 in accumulated budget surpluses to fund it. Future budget surpluses also automatically go to this Fund. The purpose statement for this Fund will appear in the Town Report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accounting name for the accumulated surplus is the &#8220;unrestricted fund balance.&#8221; Use of the unrestricted fund balance typically requires voter approval, unless voters give the Selectboard control over all or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">part<\/span> of the money under <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/statutes\/section\/24\/077\/02804\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">24 V.S.A. \u00a7 2804<\/a>. Note, however, to my knowledge, the Town did not access the unrestricted fund balance during the emergencies related to Hurricane Irene or the July 1, 2017 Storm Event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Where can the public view the purpose statement for Article 7, in advance of the publication of the Town Report?<\/li><li>Why is Article 7 needed? What circumstances caused the Selectboard to ask voters to change existing practice that required case-by-case voter approval? <\/li><li>What constitutes an unanticipated expense? Isn&#8217;t that term overly broad?<\/li><li>What other towns in Vermont give the Selectboard total control over the unrestricted fund balance?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">*  *   *<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also have questions related to Articles 8, 9, 10 and 11. But they need to wait for another day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Selectboard will be holding two bonus information sessions on the municipal issues related to Town Meeting.
