Can we get the money back?

Mayor surrenders the chair.

"had an opportunity to learn last week...that there were moneies held in balance...in excess of $700,000...perhaps the school department doesn't need the money...asking what moneies are held in balance in that money." City has over $1 million in their account. Need a plan going forward. In other cities its included in one lump sum..."see some real reforms...now that we have the other chamber ready for meetings...maybe the School Committee adding subcommittee meetings taped...which to me isn't understandable...there has to be much more transparency, openness, and accountability"

Concerned about transparency being hampered.

"more of a sense of direction than letting money pile up to over $700,000...sitting there, not doing anything..perhaps the city ought to take over the money" Praises the city side: "I'm afraid I can't say the same for the school side."

Chair asks for a time period.
Balances by next meeting. Plan in 30 days.
