Kelly Foster noted the School Board had discussed this meeting. She asked if this is a Budget Committee meeting the School Board is invited to or vice versa.

Chairman Hart noted he would check on the Budget 2010 rules.

Jack Fitzgibbon asked how Budget Committee members are notified of meetings.

Chairman Hart answered meeting reminders are usually sent via email to those members who have internet access and phone calls are made to those members who do not use the internet.

Dana Glennon noted the Planning Board and Town Council all have nametags so residents at home can know who is speaking. He asked if nametags could be provided for Budget Committee members.
