This session shares the Finance Committee meeting conducted Thursday, May 1, 2025. 7 members of the Committee participated, 6 in Council Chambers, 1 remote (Hamilton) 1 absent (Nagel) for the last of the series of Budget Hearings for FY 2026. This session covered the General government line items and led to the series of recommending votes. Quick recapUp for review tonight were the General government departments, many of them much smaller than the Police, FIRE, DPW, and Schools covered previously but all key to Town services. Recreation pays for itself with fee revenue from servicing 7200 kids with 3 full time personnelLibrary just above the minimum required by State legislation not revised since it was enabled over 100 years agoTown Clerk's office runs the annual census, dog licenses, registrations, and this year 2 elections; the special override election June 3 and the local election in November (Town Council, School Cmte and other elected positions, including this year the Town Clerk).Senior Center has a minimal expense budget most of it is personnel and a good portion of it is covered by fee revenue or grants. Still working on how to fine tune it, won't likely get to the fee supported status of the Recreation Dept. May 15 ribbon cutting for the van and gazebo at the Senior Center (10 AM)Resolutions for approval - all passed by same 7-0-1 (1 absent) roll call voteResolution 25-20: Recommendation of FY2026 BudgetResolution 25-21: Salary Schedule: Full-Time Elected Official Resolution 25-22: Expenditure Limits for FY2026 on Departmental Revolving Funds Established by Franklin Town Code Chapter 73, as Provided in MGL Chapter 44, §53E½, as Amended Resolution 25-23: Snow and Ice Transfer of Funds Resolution 25-24: Appropriation and Transfer of Funds from Water Enterprise Fund Retained Earnings to Water Line ProjectThe meeting runs 2 hours and 28 minutes, so let's listen in.--------------Franklin TV video is available for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/live/C5g8YGdpTmI?&t=430 The agenda and released documents for this session -> https://www.franklinma.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_05012025-1710 My notes in one PDF -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFcbiY2E14_zoCwZHMOjuSOpnIaaUM1J/view?usp=drive_link -------------We are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm) or 102.9 on the Franklin area radio dial.

Dr Alex Herzog is here in studio talk about the volunteer fair Guiding Good is putting on in May in Claremont at the Senior Center.  We talk about volunteering, different opportunities and more.  Plus we run the gambit on a whole bunch of other topics. 

Our 11th Podcast Town escapade finds us in the real-life town of Marshfield, Massachusetts. Billy interviews the hilarious Peg Davis, our literal resident expert. Peg cleverly explains why the town is called MARSH VEGAS and confirms that Steve Carrel indeed owns the general store that his sister-in-law runs because...well...he's a busy celebrity type guy.  Find out what else Peg reveals and how the BIT Players bring the town to life with their podcast segments and scenic adventures! Enjoy these highlights from the Marshfield Podcast Network: The DIY Show - YOU CAN DO IT: Hosted by newlyweds Molly and Hal Cunningham.  This week's projects include making your own boat and birdhouses. The couple bravely embarks on their homemade dinghy's maiden voyage while trying to avoid the many surfers dotting the shoreline. We are unsure how Hal got trapped in the rafters at Bob's Steakhouse, but we hope he finds his way out!  YOU BETCHA!: Hosted by the semi-nefarious Gamblerino siblings, Gil and Gilda. These two find ways for Marsh Vegans (VAY-Gans, not Vee-Gans) to bet on everything from little league games to Pickle Bowling and surf lessons. Gil even hosts a "speakeasy" game night in the house they inherited from their Granny Sisterino Gamberino. We are convinced that the fix is in at the Senior Center, but you can form your own opinions. (NOTE: Gilda and Molly are high school besties.) Hall of Fame - Marshfield: Bobby and Robby may or may not be broadcasting from the Senior Center's basement. We are unsure where they come from, how they know each other, or why they have a podcast. We DO know that they have an intense bromance going, and Robby's ancestors fought on the "wrong side" of the American Revolution. Their podcast conjures up historical characters, like Benedict Arnold, primarily to shame Robby and guilt him into paying for their Surf Fest entry fees and lunch overlooking a decorative balcony.  Sponsors include Mom's Donuts, Levitate Shops, 2025 St. Patrick's Day Surf Festival, BoB's Steakhouse, the Gamblerino Kids, Kane's Sign Shop, the Marshfield Senior Center, The Pickle Bowling Association of Massachusets, and the National Pickle Bowling Association.

In this engaging episode of the Senior Matters Podcast, host and estate planning attorney Mark E. Wight welcomes Mike Thompson of the Meridian Senior Center, for a thoughtful conversation about the essential role senior centers play in supporting the well-being of older adults. They spotlight how these community hubs offer far more than just a place to gather—they are lifelines for connection, activity, and purpose. Mike shares his insights into the Center's mission to help seniors "live younger," and explains how programs like chair yoga, Fit and Fall Classes, line dancing, live music, and knitting groups foster social interaction, physical fitness, and mental stimulation. From local outings, casino trips and nature walks to daily lunches in the center's cafeteria, the Meridian Senior Center is bustling with opportunities designed to keep Idaho's older adults active, engaged, and nourished—both in body and spirit. Mark and Mike also explore the challenges of reaching seniors who may be isolated, and how the Center goes the extra mile with newsletters, outreach, transportation, and welcoming tours for new visitors. Whether you're a senior yourself or someone caring for an aging parent, this episode offers practical insight into how vital community support systems can help seniors maintain independence, build new friendships, and enjoy a higher quality of life. Tune in to learn how the Meridian Senior Center is redefining aging—one dance, one lunch, and one meaningful connection at a time.

More was expanded upon here. The documents will be posted to the Town budget page today. We are in a $3.8M deficit and coming up with that (or an amount close to it) is likely the only way to maintain "level service".
