FINANCES


Finance Committee


FINANCE COMMITTEE - Standing, Robert E. Sperry, Raymond Samora, Richard D. Foulkes. Seated, C. Stephen Tsorvas, William E. Sweetman, Bayard D. Waring, Walter R. Moynihan. Proctor A. Coffin, Chairman; Robert G. Fraser not present.


The maturing of our Town during the last decade has caused many economic and operating prob- lems. Most of these have been faced squarely, with success. The Finance Committee recognizes the dedi- cation of Town employees, officials, and many citizens serving on a variety of committees. Their de- votion has certainly resulted in economies and improved services - a part of this success.


However, we still cling to certain practices not appropriate to a two and one half million dollar corporation. As previous Finance Committees have, we urge adoption of a more professional approach to our Town management. In keeping with this policy, the Town approved the purchase in 1964 of an accounting machine. The Town Treasurer, Mr. Higgins, has been very cooperative in adapting to it. His enthusiasm should be encouragement to the Town Accountant, Tax Collector and Assessors to con- sider its use in 1965. The Treasurer reports savings of time and improved accuracy in his department. There are more dramatic savings to be realized when these other departments use this machine to its full potential.


For several years a group of interested voters have studied our government with a view to up- dating its functions. When put to the Town Meeting last year, their proposals were not accepted. Nei- ther the discussion nor the vote indicated a total rejection of their recommendations. It is our opinion that the changes perhaps were too many and too fast. However, certain of our management problems are of such magnitude as to require solution soon. To this end we have held many discussions during the year. It is our opinion that there are three areas of prime importance:


1. PURCHASING. Department heads who frequently have neither the time nor the training do their own purchasing. There is no coordination between departments. (Example: Tires are purchased separately by the School, Highway, Police, Fire, Tree and Moth, and Park and Cemetery Departments. By pooling their needs and putting them out for bid, important savings could be realized.)


2. ACCOUNTING. We believe fiscal management aspects of this function have not been sufficiently emphasized. The need for more analytical work is apparent and to this end, we feel that a full time ac- countant might be the only solution to this problem. A full time accountant could do the accounting for the School Department as well. This is a practice followed in some communities.


109


3. MANAGEMENT. The Selectmen as part-time officials are greatly hampered by lack of staff. Their responsibilities are many and varied. It is unrealistic to expect them to be knowledgeable in all the problems they face and to resolve these without proper assistance.


We have prepared appropriate articles for the Town Meeting warrant and are recommending the ad- dition of a full time qualified person who would report to the selectmen. He would be responsible for all three areas mentioned above. The salary for such an official might come, in whole or in part, from funds already regularly appropriated for positions that would no longer be required. Our neighbor, Wake- field, has a comparable arrangement and is reported to be well pleased with it.


In our meeting with the School Committee in connection with this year's budget, we noted that, as in the past, the School Committee is endeavoring to hold expenditures slightly below the level of the highest-spending towns in the state, but not so low as to jeopardize the educational standards of the school system. For example, 1964 records indicate that eleven towns exceed Lynnfield in the starting salaries for teachers, thirty-four were at the same level and approximately two hundred and ninety towns were below Lynnfield in this category.


Per capita expenditures by Lynnfield for its schools also appear to be compatible with the fore- going fiscal policy, i.e. near the top but not at the top of all towns in the State. The school budget has increased 63% over the past five years (see chart below). The 1965 budget is 8% higher than last year, an increase of $140,000 over 1964 expenditures, which represents an addition of over $2.00 per thousand on the new tax rate (about $5.00 on old tax rate). The School Committee sees no hope that school costs will level off in the foreseeable future. If this trend continues, school costs over the next 10 years would add $20.00 to our tax rate.


The Town's assessed valuation has been increasing at a rate of only 4% per year or about 2.5 mil- lion on 100% valuations. This could easily be offset by the expected increase in the budgets of Town departments other than Schools during the next decade. Thus the entire amount of increases in the school costs would be felt in a direct proportionate increase in the tax rate.

Two matters we wish brought to the voters' attention were mentioned in our 1963 report. No change has been made in our system of work records. Employees are not required to turn in time sheets nor generally do department heads maintain logs of hours worked. We also continue to be con- cerned with the acquisition of capital equipment and other expenditures not in keeping with the intent and spirit of the original appropriation. Should this practice continue, it will force the Finance Com- mittee to so word the budget articles as to stop this practice. This would be unfortunate in that it could unnecessarily hamper departments and lengthen Town meetings which are already quite lengthy.


The somber financial picture which we have outlined above makes it necessary to analyze all pro- posed expenditures carefully, and to recommend against any expenditures which cannot meet the tests of necessity and practicality. Like most communities, we face difficult financial years ahead.
