<DIV>Melissa,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm not certain why you are having so much trouble navigating to the information you seek as "Town Budget" seems to be very clearly listed on the main menu of the town website. However, in order to assist you, here is the link to the proposed FY 2011 budget:</DIV>
<DIV><BR>http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/FY11%20Proposed%20Budget1.pdf</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On it you will find that "Miscellaneous" actual consist of three items: Fire Department Grant, Veteran's Memorial, Social Concerns. Together they total $12,000.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Farmer's Market is actually categorized under "Economic Development".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is almost certain the the Budget will be acted on next Monday evening, so please do try to make the meeting if you have suggestions for improvements in the budget.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Vern<BR></DIV>

<DIV>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 <SPAN style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%">recreation department</SPAN> and the Riverdale Days events among other things.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?<BR></DIV></DIV>

I may take a little time at the beginning of the<BR>meeting, perhaps with input from the Mayor, to give an overview of the<BR>budget, and some budgetary realities facing us this year. If we have<BR>energy and time at the end of the evening, we might also discuss some<BR>of the "Miscellaneous"
expenditures.<BR><BR>Tentatively the meetings scheduled for the 17th and 19th of May (both<BR>starting at 7:30 pm) will be, respectively, the Police Department and<BR>Public Works budgets. If we are moving fast enough in either of those<BR>meetings, we will discuss revenues. Otherwise we will schedule a<BR>meeting for some evening beyond May 19th to discuss revenue.<BR><BR>For those of you currently without a copy of the budget, you can find<BR>a scanned copy of the budget as proposed at<BR>http://www.thompsonward2.org/20100501FY2011MayorsProposedBudget.pdf<BR><BR>As with all meetings of the Town Council and committees, members of<BR>the public are encouraged to attend and participate.<BR><BR>Alan Thompson<BR>Ward 2 Town Council Representative and Finance Committee Chair<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>TownTalk mailing list<BR>To post to the list, send mail to <A href="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org"
