Reports
Mayor Talerico couldn’t make it to the meeting because of weather. Dave e-mailed his report to the city clerk.
The 2011 preliminary budget will be present to the assembly. $15,000.00 is in the individual line item for the Anderson Fire Dept. and $11,792.00 for the city’s per capita for a total of $26,792.00. This is preliminary and could change. Also Dave reported on the State capital budget. It currently doesn’t show any request for the city being funded. I am checking into that as I expected something on there for the wild land fire truck replacement.
Anderson School Report; Principal Bill Bedouin was unable to attend and sent a report. The school testing went well. School attendance is great. Getting ready to wind done from a great year.
