Last year on the town web site that miscellaneous category was broken down. It included money allocated to the Farm Market manager, the Holiday market, the recreation department and the Riverdale Days events among other things.

All of us have a right to know how this information.  They are things that happen every year and a certain amount of money is allocated to each of these things. It is misleading to call this section of the budget miscellaneous, where is the transparency?

To: TownTalk <TownTalk at riverdale-park.org>


Friends and Neighbors,

The first Finance Committee Meeting to discuss the fiscal year 2011
budget will be this Wednesday, May 12, starting at 7:30 PM, at Town
Hall (5008 Queensbury Road).

Because the budget is a long and complicated document, I hope to limit
discussion at this meeting to General Government (Town Hall)
expenditures.  I may take a little time at the beginning of the
meeting, perhaps with input from the Mayor, to give an overview of the
budget, and some budgetary realities facing us this year.  If we have
energy and time at the end of the evening, we might also discuss some
of the "Miscellaneous" expenditures.

Tentatively the meetings scheduled for the 17th and 19th of May (both
starting at 7:30 pm) will be, respectively, the Police Department and
Public Works budgets.  If we are moving fast enough in either of those
meetings, we will discuss revenues.  Otherwise we will schedule a
meeting for some evening beyond May 19th to discuss revenue.

For those of you currently without a copy of the budget, you can find
a scanned copy of the budget as proposed at
http://www.thompsonward2.org/20100501FY2011MayorsProposedBudget.pdf

As with all meetings of the Town Council and committees, members of
the public are encouraged to attend and participate.

Alan Thompson
Ward 2 Town Council Representative and Finance Committee Chair
