Town of Plymouth Report of Advisory and Finance Committee on the Articles in the Town Warrant
March 27, 1965
The Town of Plymouth this year can meet the cost of community services and improvements on what we believe to be a highly acceptable level while holding the line on the tax rate.
The following are highlights of what the appropriation requests recommended for acceptance by the Advisory and Finance Committee would provide:
1. Wage and salary increases reasonably in line with gener- ally rising pay rates elsewhere or, in regard to teaching personnel, slightly above new minimums established by State law.
2. Payment of the Town's share of work on Supporting Facilities to be done this year in accordance with the October, 1962 contract with the Plymouth Redevelopment Authority.
3. Immediate payment of a substantial part of the Town's share of Harbor improvements to be financed principally by Federal funds under a plan initiated almost ten years ago.
4. Full payment for the proposed new fire station in Cedar- ville.
5. Updating and improvements in equipment, buildings, roads, etc. including replacements for seven vehicles; surfacing work on about twelve miles of roads; the be- ginning of a long-range, town-wide program of repairs to existing sidewalks, and acquisition of major new office machines for the joint use of three departments.
-351 -
In making their decisions, we hope the Town Meeting Members will find our recommendations useful and also will find useful the additional information in this year's report. If the recommendations are followed, the tax rate should be about a dollar less than in 1964, the exact amount depending on the new net valuation applied in setting the official rate later this spring.
We wish to express our deep appreciation to the Town Officers, Commissioners, Department Heads and all others who have been so cooperative in the preparation of the many budgets and the warrant articles.

REPORT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE DECEMBER 21, 1964
The Capital Outlay Expenditures Committee was estab- lished to inform the Town each year of anticipated capital expenditures for the succeeding five years. This forecast is compiled from estimates submitted by the departments and committees. A capital outlay is defined as an expendi- ture of not less than $1,000 for an item that will serve the Town for a number of years.
With the cooperation of all Town departments and com- mittees in providing information, the Capital Outlay Expen- ditures Committee will be able to predict in advance the ef- fect of capital expenditures on tax rate over a period of years.
The function and duty of the Capital Outlay Expendi- tures Committee, which was created at the 1963 Annual Town Meeting, are to schedule and report to the Advisory and Fi- nance Committee as to the Town's anticipated future capital improvements over a period of years according to priority of need and consistent with its fiscal procedures and its abil- ity to pay. In addition, the Committee's objective is to fore- cast necessary borrowings and their probable impact on the operating budget and on the tax rate of the Town.
The annual operating budget, namely Article 7, while being far from routine and uninvolved, generally contains the same items from year to year, varying in amounts as the needs require. Certain necessary future capital outlays are inevitable and these expenditures should be set down on a long-range plan so that they may be met in a practical and knowledgeable manner in step with growing needs of Town.
The projects and capital outlay expenditures as reported by the various Town departments and special committees have been listed on the following pages in schedule form. These reports may be revised annually and additional proj- ects listed in order to give the Town more complete and updated information. The cooperation of the departments and committees is very important and the Committee wishes to thank all who submitted reports.

TOWN FINANCE TERMINOLOGY
The following terms are frequently used in the Annual Town Report and at Town Meeting. In order to provide everyone with a better understanding of the meaning, the following definitions are provided:
SURPLUS REVENUE: (Often referred to as "Excess and Deficiency")
This fund represents the amount by which the Cash, Accounts Receivable and other current assets exceed the liabilities and reserves. This is a bookkeeping item.
AVAILABLE FUNDS: (often referred to as "Free Cash").
A fund certified annually by the State Bureau of Ac- counts by deducting from surplus revenue all uncollected taxes for prior years. This fund may be used by a vote of the Town Meeting.
OVERLAY:
The Overlay is the amount raised by the Assessors in excess of appropriations and other charges for the purpose of creating a fund to cover abatements granted and avoiding fractions.
RESERVE OVERLAY:
This is the accumulated amount of the Overlay for vari- ous years not used or required to be held in the specific Overlay account for a given year, and may be used by vote of the town for extra-ordinary or unforeseen purposes or voted into the Reserve Fund.
RESERVE FUND:
This fund is established by the voters at an annual town meeting only and may be composed of (a) an appropriation (not exceeding 5 per cent of the tax levy of the preceding year), (b) money transferred from Overlay Reserve, or (c) both.
Transfers from the Reserve Fund are within the exclu- sive control of the Finance Committee and are for "extra- ordinary or unforeseen expenditures."
STABILIZATION FUND:
This is money set aside in interest bearing accounts for future capital outlay expenditures, i.e. building or remodel- ing of Town buildings.

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE DECEMBER 21, 1965
In connection with long-range planning, which is its function, the Capital Outlay Expenditures Committee also intends to project the estimated tax rates for the years in which the expenditures may be made for the purpose of stabilizing the tax rate.
The 1965 forecast is based on reports submitted by twen- ty-five of the various Town boards, commissions, depart- ments, and special committees. We wish to emphasize that the anticipated year or years of expenditures as indicated in the schedule of proposed projects are recorded as re- ported to us by these agencies of the Town. In evaluating these requests, we would suggest that consideration be giv- en either to initiating some of these projects before they have been requested or delaying them, as the case may be, in an attempt to stabilize the tax rate. Only when estimates of costs are provided with all reports of proposed projects will it be possible to relate the effect on the tax rate sta- tistically.
We wish to point out that the 1965 schedule does not reflect the additional operating expenses, such as mainte- nance, personnel, etc., that may result when specific proj- ects are completed and in operation. We are also aware of the fact that certain properties will be available to the Town by virtue of the proposed municipal buildings included in this report and that returns might be expected from the urban redevelopment area as it is rebuilt.
