Meyer Willey About 20 he the hall Councilor Soucy. Councilor Soucy Mr. Chairman, if I may. Meyer Willey yes, councilor. Councilor Saucy If wea to mo n to another location we have a number of items an the agenda that I believe there are people here that came and possibly with their attorneys for a particular ]ague. Should we move I would [eCommend that we move the appropriations to the last item on the agenda, and while the people are going to the other location we could finish. - 1 don't think it would take very long - to finish the agenda and then proceed down there. Otherwise you're going to force people who came for ether issues to move or to sit and wait until we came back. Mayor Willey Shank you Councilor Soucy. Councilor Socrates Councilor Brountas Yee. 1 think that if the audience knows the inconvenience of so moving down to the auditorium and Civic Center and this will be placed in the Last, and maybe this -- it is a Little inconvenience and it is \ a little overcrowded, but I personally feel that its the next thing on the agenda and if youcanhang in there, you'd be better off because we'd have to go through all the other items (applause).

Councilor Brountae Mr. Chairman, Appropriatiuo Resolve 235 AG to the municipal appropriation for the year 1979. The total L979 annual budget is $20,244,993 which includes the General operation of the City, a well m the School Department. With Am estimated value of $428,296,210 that would produce an estimated tax rate of $22.75 -a additional $1.75 over last yea late. This - budget in total represents a 1.18;increase over the 1978 appropriation resolve. Considering the inflation rate and general economic conditions of our society, I do act think this is an exorbitant increase in our budget and it 'a Well within any Presidential guideline which I have ad. 0 the City Charter calla for this appropriation resolve Is to be read on two separate occasions, I would wave that Council Resolve 235 AG be coraidered at our next meeting.

Mayor Willey Yes, Councilor Wood. 3 Councilor Wood I would move that the Approm lotion Resolve 235 AG have amendment as follows; The first paragraph, page 1, first line - strike the word 'Forty". and insert the word "Ninety"; aeand line strike the number as you written am Insert $20,294,993; in tha and paragraph, third line, first page, strike the word "Forty" and insert the word 'Nivety"; fourth line insert $9,794,453.

Mayor Willey Do we have a. second to Councilor— Councilor Lemzian Seconded. Mayor Willey It has been -- Councilor Wood has m ved and ar onded Resolve 235 AC be amended by inserting figures-- do you want an to go through that again? I think we can refer to -- Councilor Gass Doubted. Mayo[ Willey Councilor good's handout here. If you want me to go through It I'd be more than glad to, but .. Councilor Wood. Councilor Wood 'hunks Mr. Chairman. Inewhat we have asked for in this amendment is that thenSchool budget be increased by $50,000. SO that the increase is from 3.75 to 4.25. I would like to, if I may Mr. Chairman, make a few commend. I will try to keep them brief because I know how much of this has been C red, and there will be many people who would like to speak to the ie I would like to say, Mr. Chairman, that there a certain facts which I considertobe truisms and I think if you don't Spam ton men time on these maybe we can get to the substance of the issue. Number am, the Council and the councilors love their children just as much me everybody else loves their children. Similarly, aeSre d with education as Bryon else I think it's very important that w allconcerned x cognise that so that e do not it any ay impose the integrity and the devotion of the people on the Council. I would hope that all of or are here with one purpose - and that in to Increase the school budget, and therefore we think, improve education. Which brings me to the second truism. I'mwn n the Council but I ca a you as I watched things evolve - your role and my[ole am those who might support this amendment iso of persuasion. In" is not a negotiation session.No one is In a position to 1t a sense negotiate this Issue we are there to persuade. Norare we there to try am intimidate am I would make a observation which I thinksome people sometimes get - This is Bangor with 32,000 population, this. is cot Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and of the 9 Cnuncilors you see here moat of us profess only tobe Interested Citizens. No sure as devil are cot politicians. So in a sense the community has said to u we would like for you to do your beat to try and administer the City, we don't expect you t0 make a full-time job of it, and we expect you to retire at the appropriate meant which brings me obviously you have a chance come October t0 retire , but Bally in a sense you door have .all of us sharing ainterest again here to persuade each other and not anything were. And walre not here really for group therapy. It does no goad for you and I to hrranpe each other, to express our anger am our frustrations in some things we do. Rage seldom leads to reason. Third truism -nm nthis r s far as I'm concerned really knows the magic number of how That budget should be increased. Whether its 564, 456, 315 of 425. And what we've tried to do is to, in this compromise, Is to present something that I felt would allow the citizens a1,m increase that I think we might get IT= the City Council. Now you might want 456, you might want 700,000 but I can assure you prom having listened and thought that the chances of getting clownclowne f Enures approach were. What we saying in a e is we don't want - I am saying that we don't went to strip does all of the education with no motor and Likewise, we don't want a flrebird with mag wheels or cb and so forth. So I think what we would like is a balance and this If what we are trying to achieve. The last point is as l've watched things over the last few months I must efly that the thing that stands out - there's been an awful lot of talking and very little Liatening. We really - we haw tried to express a Council or group with varying persuasions to people within the School Committee that we felt there was a range which we could arrive at - a compromise. We've done this though a letter in February and a meeting in March, and other meetings so we won't belabor that. We end up in April with somebody -- swee group saying you need 564 - we say you need 315. And so I feel that 315 is insufficient and I've expressed myself to my fellow councilors as several occasions in the last ten days. They have listened graciously. I haven't convinced any of them. I would like to suggest however that 425 would allow a smoother transition from where we stand now to wherez hope we stand and not Fall of 1980. And I ca education with that extra $50,000 portion together a Little bit better education opportunity for the children. You may feel this should be 564 but I can asu a you it's not going to be. $425,000 equals about 1 mill in our tax rate. Its an increase of 4.82 in the school budget, and if you ask where the money comes from I would say that it can me from a very specific spot. 0n May Let at the Finance Committee meeting it was noted that and has been recorded In the press, that the City budget had a balance of $900,000. Now this was -- one thought this was $800 it turns out to be $900,000. So the Finance Committee of the Council said that we've taken money away from our toad maintenance program, Let's give $100,000 back to our road maintenance program. 1 would like to say that I will be delighted if they took $50,000 of that 100 and put it into education - it would be more profitable to benefit our children than to fill our potholes. If 1t is desired not to do it that way then Ithink the community can well afford an increase of $50,000 but there is money there. And I think if we can approach this in Ihope a calm and relatively unimpassioned fashion, we could arrive at this figure as being acceptable. I was going to further suggest that somewhere In the next two weeks the Finance Committee sit down with the Superintendent and the Asst. Superintendent and discuss this and see if there is Sood, way you could do. But then I realized as I mediated about this on Friday afternoon. and I don't say this sarcastically, but in this era of openness, that's not the way you do things. So I guess we can't say to 3 people as the Council sit down with 2 people in the School Committee, or I she& say the school administration and see if you can work outs mething that allows the children to get $50,000 more for education. Cause everybody maybe everybody will want to get Into the act. But this is a way to do it, this is the efly things are accomplished. Crowds very frequently arouse each other not to thoughtful reaction but to anger, and I don't thick that's what we need now. And my Last point Mr. Chairman - 1t seems ve can't hathis form of soft and easy exchange between 3 members of theCouncil and 2 members of the administration of the school, I would flak that the citizens, and particularly those pcesent,in their thinking about thin issue recognize a very obvious point you My not like it but let's recognize 1t. oft times when you - if you have somebody speak to you as a til about an Issue and you agree that person is an interested citizen. if you speak to the Council about something you disagree you're r special Internet. And I think If that be a and it is from them to time then the rale of the parents and the teachers might beet be to seek out the Leaders with Lu the community - the Chamber of Commerce members, the Bwcary, the bankers, the attorneys, the physicians from time to time. And put it to him and tell them what you think about the issue, have them tell us I think you will find there will berresponsive note if they do it rather than you do it. Now you may not like that again, but what I'm suggesting is that you can get to the council better by having a diffused base rather than just having a teacher base or parent base. So with those c ent$, W. Chairman, I appreciate your tolerance in allowing me to talk so 1®g, I would move that the .- Mayor Willey Order please, let Councilor Wood flnieh_hls speech Councilor Wood We continue with discussion of the amendments. Mayor Willey shank you Councilor Wood. Councilor Baldaccf. Councilor BaldaccL the only thing that I would like to say is that I've talked with a lot of interested parents and students, and W brother still goes to school and so does my sister, so I listened to the people that are of the situation - the teachers and the patents and I don't need a banker or a lawyer or am attorney to cell me how I should vote on it and I just (applause). kayo: Willey If we could just keep the noise down -- I'm afraid we'll get out of control folks. I don't want tm Like a dictator up here, but if wejustkeep it nice and calm and give e everybody the right consideration without too much of an ovation or some e other response, I think it might be beat for a all. Ihank you Councilor Ba Ldacci. I've got to first ask the Council if they wish to comment on Councilor Wood's amendment then I will go to the audience. Is there any ocher councilor, yes Councilor Weymouth? Councilor Weymouth mr. Chairman, since I must comment on the amendment before My only comment has to do with the fact that I believe It doesn't quite cover the territory quite enough. In rev teeing the and I don't like to review a lot of things that people knew, but I think there are one or two things that we should take a look at, and a of the things that is very obvious to members of the Council who have been her many, yea and to s of us who have been here only a few years is that the moneys which are asked for by the School Committee and provided through the Council -by the taxpayers -moneys that people either begrudgingly or willingly give for whatever they anyare believe or not believe in. the thing that I'm most concerned with is that for several rat years now the Council has told the School Committee that certain things have to be done to Come in line with the tremendous increase in costs, and a of those things were done and some wave not. In the paste rat weeks there have been indications that more is being done and muchfa yet to be date. For example, the closing of Harlow Street School has become a reality - that will be closed. The idea of redistricting Singer schools Is one that I understand has been accepted by the School Committee. The probability of consolidating physical plant usage Is one of the Its=that is being considered. The obvious necessity of cutting personnel Is an item that obviously has been considered. AsM there were program cuts. I'm concerned about cute that get into t the fl of personnel and programs without the Mcessaxydeliberatton. I would hope, and Iagree with my colleague Dr. Wood, that probably nome of us here knows the magic number. We wonder just what the magic number is. I knew the magic number that was given to asearly [his year to the estimate was $9,602,000 and that e just too much. That was reduced again. And with communication this reduction has been made. And then when the School Department did me rbefore the Fiance Committee, the Finance Committee apparently recommended another reduction of $180,000 189,000 I Buses. I think [hat's a little too much personally - speaking as a member of the Council, as me who has been involved in education and I think that we reed to go about these changes with deliberation - with thought - and hot try to do the whale thing in a matter of month or two. I think that's herrendouse and it upsets people, it does some of the things that Cooncilor wood eluded to about getting people a little heated or [hinge, about the concern for where their children go to ecbool and so forth. Vn I think that this caa�does, and apparently to me there are very good signs that thoughts are going in that direction, and something will and is being done. I would hate t0 think that we did hot allow enough then to car school budge[ to allow the administrator$ to make Che necessary changes along with the help of the school personnel and the parents and the citizens Of Bangor that we ham¢ to force this on them in a short time. We're nearly 6 months into the budget we haven't yet passed. ffiat'a rather interesting, but that's the way its been done for 3 years I Somas. I think we new t0 look ahead. We can't get into a budget and be almost 6 months into the budget and than decide this IS what the budget's going to be and operate uncle[ what we [bought it might be. So i would -- well, I would favor the motion if that's the Only way out the amendment -- I would be opposed to 1t only because I feel that we don't wish to disrupt, or at least I would net like to see many of the disruptions that we have been told will Occur. So that's my comment, Mr. Chairman., , Mayo[ Willey Thank you Councilor Weymouth. Councilor Megatons. Councilor McKernan I have a number of things I'd like to say. I guess on Of the first things, excuse , I would like to echo everyone who Na spoken so fat that we don't want emotionalism to overcome good sense. I don't think we started Out that way right now by being told the only people who Influence councilors are -called big business and professional people. I think that m a low blow. I think we've all talked to many parents, to many teachers, to many people who have had children in school, to many people who are Being to have children in school find believe aneve heard from all of you all of them. From what I heard - people that have called no one ante to hurt education. Everyone wants to have a good school system if for an other that say w came from Bangor, Maine and we're proud of o education system so we can e c r our system. But what I hes[ 16 we jus[ simply have to cu[ out masala. I've been the Council now for 3 wyearse and we've talked about this, how we have pe cut down. half that every penny we spend xe ve Bot to get o penny s. return - a reason and a half Ice we can - and I [honk we've been trying to do this. Por e n the School the message. Or Board o as raw we tiondeco ed that combined hasn't beenjust ablerear ed get the me sage, qha I gveea a decided that this year it had just reached the point where we had to do something. We talk about compromise. I have compromised. I seat through the budget a carefully as I could, I found what I thought w obvious places where you don't spend money when you don'[ have it. And I cam were with enough money to justify what in my mind would be a $275,000 Increase from last yea[. Is talking with some Of the other Finance Committee sobers, they felt that was too much of a cut. So I went along and added a. $100,000 to what I thought the school could live with. I decided yesterday that I'd like to know 1f this has over happened anywhere else; and if so, how it worked. We heat about many schools that are going to be closed in Maine, going to be closed met year. So we don't have any yardstick. Well, fortunately I have a friend who's on the school board in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Portsmouth Is equal population to Bangor, their school board was told last year by the Council that they had to retrench. So they did. They redistricted their schools, closed schools, and this was done unanimously by the school board. So of course it was the school board that got the grief, and I guess they Got plenty. And they said it was avery Hard thing to do. But they stock to their guns and they did it and now that. it has been in the process fox almost a year, those same people that called them are new calling than to apologize and said they were sorry that they'd gotten so motional, and gotten so upset that it w all working out very well and they wanted the school board people know this. to Obviously this made me feel quite good that if everyone wants something to work , it generally does. I just thought I'd throw this out for your information. Their yardstick apparently was Grades K through 3 - they would have 24 children per teacher. Grades 4.through 6 30 children per teacher. And junior high and senior high approximately 30 students per teacher. Portsmouth schools have 5,800 students. We in. Bangor have 5,053. So I think we are talking In the area of the same population in the schools, as wall as Just people in generalin the City. Paeir cost per student is 1,587. The cost in. Bangor for L979 will be 1,8L6. I questioned them on their pay scale - it seemed to be very mar ours, some people there - the superintendent wasn't quite as much as mos but their pxiactpal in their high school (tape change) Mayor Willey You're free to proceed Count floc McKernan I'm glad to say that I'm going to vote against this amendment and I wanted you all to know why. Thank you. Mayor Willey Thank you Councilor McKernan. Counc LLm Zeadaian. Councilor Zemizlan Szwse me if Intakes: a moment to get my thoughts together as I go through this because they're quite scattered. I Sense that 'unlike some of the other 8 members of the council, but ,rot unlike Sam members of the School Committee, I have no children in the public schools in Bangor and didn't ge, there myself. So I came and look at this situation from perhaps a favorable abstract viewpoint. I dispute the contention that the Finance Committee of the City has looked at the School Committee's budget with an eye. for Looking for waste. The Initial budget or the initial interaction between the School Committee and the finance Committee was a letter from the Finance Committee chairman addressed to the School Committee suggesting a half -million dollars be cut. I got to admit that Its a rather arbitrary figure. We have a $415,599 cut from the March 6 estimated budget. The - I would like to echo same of Dr. Wood's comments. whet v concerned with here is the students - the children is Binger, and the tax dollars andthe people In Bangor to pay for education. Now we can decide whether we're going to give them a good educatianmediocre education, a a terrible education. We can also decide among the other priorities of age city. Will we have a good, mediocre or terrible Police Department; good, mediocre or terrible Fire Department; Welfare Department,; City Hospital; Airport, right on down through the. line. We can draw our priorities. If we eek foruniform mediocrity I'm a achieve it. However, T a councilor will ro settle for uniform mediocrity. Iaseek uniform excellence but I recognize that uniform excellence comes at a price. The question is can we afford the price for uniform excellence? perhaps w cannot. If We cannot achieve uniform excellence, then something has to give. I would oat see as go to uniform medincticy. Some things that the city provides for its citizenswill have to be excellent, same will have to be leas. than we would seek. It in my contention that you take the priorities for the City of Bangor; that if you do not include education in one of the top three priorities £n the City of Bangor that any councilor who fails to put it there is totally misreading the purpose for which we have a city, the purpose for which we raise taxes and the purpose for which we have a hedger to establish priorities. It is my belief, that the top three priorities for the city are fire protection, police protection and education for the common goad. Everything else after that is icing on the cake. If we've going to cut from education in order t0 retain excellence in some other department of the city, that is cat in a top peority, then we're misapprehending the proper structure of a= priorities. personally, I would prefer to see the entire $189,000 cut restored. However, and Mrs we are perhaps political realists, maybe cat politicians but political realists, I can count =sea and I an not count 5 noses for that amount. I'm an a sure I ca e count more than on So I am very willing to accept a smaller load,nrather thannone. The proposal made by Dr. Wood realistically recognizes that the arbitrary attempt to attain thin half million dollar cut which we fall short of would have a devastating effect on the School System in. Bangor. The rush -- the pressure that we put on our school administration and our School Committee to save the money tNt talking about going to cut out of the budget will necessarily lead to errors being made, pedistricting isn't as simple as taking the city deep and $am Linen around ft. There are a lot of factors to consider. The legisties of it are almost mind boggling when you consider the additional problems caused by bussing (who and where) the cost (who and where) if they're not going to be bussed then they have to walk (where do the children walk; are they going to have to the Interstate bridge on Essex Street) that's a factor to be considered because in the wintertime that's a hard bridge to get across because of the plowing. Are they going t0 have to C some major streetsin town that they don't n ? Are we going to have to havecrossingro a ing guards there? It's simple matter of drawling linea. If we rush tosave thin money now we may very well in the future find ourselves spending that same money all overagain to try to rectify the errors made In rushing to resolve the tax crunch now. Anther problem chat I have had with the consideration - I've had a lot of problems with the way the budget's considered and I'll save those for the Inch. But another problem I've had with the consideration of the school budget is the us ne them approach of the Finance Committee. References to a school budget versus the city budget. Well, the school in part of thin city, and its not a separate item. The priorities go across the board, the school and the city; its within the school and then within the city. Its all part of the whole thing - ame taxpayers, same children, same money. I think for auncilor tonight to vote against the proposal to appropriate $50,000 would be an irresponsible =vs. I'll tell you why. This is not the final consideration of this item tonight, it comes up on the 30th because of the holiday. In the ten days or two weeks, whatever it in between now and than, it would be possible perhaps for the school administration to tell the City Council, to tell all of us what they could do with an additional $50,000. Would it help statute the crunch that we under new. Would it postpone a rush to decision on redistricting. Dr. Wood has given a suggestion to where the $50,000 can come item without any change in the tax rate. In my opinion I'd rather see us fill our children' minds than fill our potholes if we have to structure one priorities I don't see how anybody can go other than that. If you're going to structure priorities - but if you're going to ignore priorities than you'd beable to vote to fill potholes but leave the Inds empty. I'm going to make a motion that the amendment proposed by Dr. Wood be tabled until the meeting of. May 30th. Councilor Wood Seconded. Councilor "as Doubted. Mayor Willey It has been moved and Seconded that the amendment to I have your name Spend the appropriation resolve 235 AD by adding $50,000 back into the school budget be postponed until May 30th, Paul. - Councilor Zendaian yes. mayor Willey Yes. Councilor Gass Doubted. Mayor Willey The motion has been doubted. Is there any discussion on the motion? Will the clerk call the roll please. City Clerk Baldacci CdrdCilop Baldacci Just a - I. want to get this clarified. The motion 4 - the resolve that Dr. Wood brought to the Council will be considered at our next meeting, is that correct? Mayor Willey Tbe2s right. Councilor Baldacci O.R. yea. City Clerk grandma - oop Gass - ad;. Mcfernan -; Soucy - no Weymouth - yea; Willey - o; Wood - yea; zendaian yea. 4 yen, 5 W. Mayor Willey The motion to award the amendment by postponing it until May 30th loses by a vote of 5 to 4. ne -- IML11 think we may - is there anybody -- am there any other councilors that would like to speak on Councilor Wood's ameadment? Is there anybody in she audience that would Like to co®ent on Councilor Wood's amendment? Let me give you ground rules an thin too. Men you come up, in case you haven't been here before, when you came forward to give testimony give your name and address and I wish that - would you turn that down Qeaee - and I wish also that you would limit the discussion as much as possible to areas not we red then far in the debate. You will have mother time to debate this Lean atthe passage of the budget am May 30th. Yes, sir, come forward? Mayor Willey, I think I can speak for -- Kayor Willey Could I have your name and address? 10 My none is Bill Carpenter, I. live at 4 Moosehead BwAn!ward. If this Is going to come to be tabled m would like to have this meeting th next time, at least I would like to a it, at the Brewer Civic Center where everybody will be able to be there to see it. Mayor Willey The Brewer Civic Center? Bllt Carpenter I mean Bangor. Mayor Willey yes, I think that's a reasonable request, six. Yes. Bill Carpenter net's all Iame. Mayor Willey Rank you. Yee Mar, come right down If you'd like to. We'd like to gat you on tape if we could. Ibis is a formal proceeding and we can do our research later. Your name and address? Pat Jenkins, 1689 Broadway. Before I start I have a couple questions for Ms. McKernan. You mentioned Portsmouth. I understand that New Hampshire does not have state-wide kindergarten. He youknow if Portsmouth does have kindergarten? Councilor McKernan Yes,they do. Pan]enkins nay do, akay. Bud just a comment on the figure you used. I have heard 3 different figures that Bangor was. You know, per pupil cost and so the figure you use depends on where you're coming from so I think the 1,800 figure could possibly be misleading for a mm people because its definitely not agreed upon that that is the figure. Messages c and we understand that changes have to be made in the Bangor school systemacx= accept they have to come. I believe that they should c c I dealt accept that because of the budget cute demanded by the Finance Committee thatwe are faced with drastic Cutsthat have to be made rather than cuts that are planned, with their consequence to education. I honestly feel that the school budget needs the $189,000 that has been cut. I recognize the realities of the situation. If wecan't have the $189,000 I plead with you give um the $50,000 tohelp in the change -over process. As things stand n re 1n total classes. We need the $50,000. We need more, we need that at least.e Mayor Willey nark you, Mia. Jenkins. Yee, mem. By Deme 18 Judy Guay and I live at 64) Finmov Koad. I have anequestion for Ms. McKernan before I make my staremevC. kTan they were doing their redistricting in Portsmouth, did they have a pre -planning peficd? Councilor McKernan No, there was -- It was demanded by the Council last year. Judy Gnat' Like on the saw idea that we pre doing tonight? Okay. What I would like to say is it seem we are almost 6 mouths into a budget at thispoint, and I was told at a meeting earlier Pmem don't remember which meeting it w , that next year we are going to start early C,h the school budget, and the entire city budget, to try to get itat a more appropriate time at the beginning of the year so you'll be working a budget that we'll know what supposed to be spending. I would like to say that it seem a lot of the changes that will be made won't take effect until September which leaves us only very few months left in this budget_ It seems to ma that it would be much sure feasible for us to work on a budget that would keep us at the level that we were last year and begin now to make the changes thatyoufeel a necessary, and i that a lot of us feel possibly. there are changes that arearyand cute that could be made but it shouldn't be done by taking a map and saying well ant of kids that live here are going hereand x amount here. I think that it should be something that should be studied very carefully, Looked into, all Parts of changes should be studied, what will happen, whet it will cost, what I m trying to say is why not keep our program the way It is through hmcember, have our changes all mdde when our budget is due to came up and preplanned and then make am cuts and changes. This seems to be a lot more logical to me than gave all of this uprise, dieheaval, people being very upset, people not eager - standing people, people Nrt communicating. I think that it would be much wiser to do it.this way and I think in the long ran we would save a lot more ney. Mayor Willey Thank you Ms. Cozy. Is there anybody alae in the audience who would Like to comment? dach,.15 Forest Avenue, Bangor. I only haw a couple of questions Jerry Lynch So do we Ms. McKernan First off, before I have acme questions I press I'd like to thank Dr. Wood for stating it as it is, not how some people ant to believe it is -as you're right, you talk to the lawyers, you talk to the doctors, they listen and that's the truth. However, M. Baldacci, you said tell it face to face. These people are here to tell it to you face to face. People have been calling you and telling you - telling It to you face to face. one of the beet ways to tell it is through an american tradition known a applause. However, tonight we have been asked not to applaud. M. Weymouth, thank you for your Support. The children thank you for your support. Mrs. McKernan you say that a figure of 1,587 was the per pupil expenditure at Portsmouth, or at Portland? Councilor McKernan Portsmouth, no I dou'C know anythingabout Portland. Jerry Lynch And where did you gs that figure? - Ccuncilor McKernan I divided 5.,800 Into $9,200,000. Jarry Lynch I see. Now do they show their Federal yards in their budget? Councilor McKernmn No. It's the same as aura. Jerry Lynch - I see. We show ours. Councilor McKernan We're talking about - Jerry Lynch Do they show their --- Councilor McKannen We re talking about money, Jerry -- Jerry Lynch I realize we're talking about money. Councilor-Mcgernan They have a lot more federal funds than we do because they have a navy base. 38rry Lynch I don't understand that comment. Councilor. Meernan Well, they get many per pupil forevery student whose parents or whose parent is at the Portsmouth Naval Unit. Jerry Lynch So do we Ms. McKernan 12 Councilor McKernan We don't have the large amount that -- Jerry Lynch I a - yeah. I'd like to speak to am other thing. Am I've heard 1t over and over and over again. This decision that you're making here tonight, you're sitting there am you say please don't be emotidnal. Folks, you may be dealing with dollars am cents, False dealing with kids. You don't have to get emotional, but parents and teachers do. Thank you. I hope to see you all on the 30th (applause). Mayor Willey Is there any other comment anybody would like to cake. Yes efr. My cave is John Burne, I. live at 84 Fifth Street. I am until recently anyway a maker of tuition, avd thatfe whaL you ve been heating from tonight and of re the Bangor Education Association. Its been said avd said that you know ,reparty is not - s for kids and one perhaps is mt. I think Dr. Wood said everyone inforte kids. Its jnet an issue of how we feel is the most responsible way to be for the .kids. Most of what Icould say tonight has already been aid, and said better. than I could say. I would like to say that the problems don't begin than year. Tke problem doesn't begin with so-called terrible Finance Casualties making its cut. The problem begins with a two - with two. groups of people - one of which has the responsibility for fiscal accountability. That group has been trying to say for years do something with theschool system that was set up years ago for a pupil c of years ago,;am such things a energy coats of years ago. Tame thingswere not done. - Very recently I heard it said, Superintendent Storm was gucced In the paper as saying that he was against the closing of any schools for purely fiscal trustee. I've heard the same thing from the M. That certainly doesn't strike use as an attitude that is one of compromise that would enable us to giveus what we all want - the best education for our kids ata cost that we can bear. At a cost we can bear - not only this year, but in the years to come. Thank you. Nayor Willey. Thank you Mr. Burns. Are there any other comments to be made by anybody in the audience. Yee. I'd like tanake one. Mayor Willey yes 1 think thatcoument Is out of context, but that's alright. Must I'd said Mayor Willey ;lust for the record -- Moward Storm, 818 Ohio Street, Bangor. What I. said was I think schools should be closed strictly for financial reasons - that if closing aid retrenchment has to take place, it Should take place over a period of time. pretty much in line with nkat Judy said before, I think that makes sense, I don't think you do it abruptly and arbitrarily. There area lot of things said tonight that I agree with and enjoyed am liked. I think Dr. Wood about 2 0 3 weeks ago said something that I was very appropriate as far as I am concerned am that is, that it seem to me walre forming sides too easily. That before I've gotten to knew any of you and talk to any of you, onintent basis, too many minds were made up. It bothers me and I'm bothereda great deal by It tonight becauseaam I don't want to get emotional about It at all - but there are a lot of peoples' jobs at stake which bothers me most of all. And I don't want to throw 13 that in as a cheap shot because I know you people are as concerned about that s I. I agree with you Dr. Wood, I'think people are concerned together. I think the statement has been made, maybe its the approachof how we go about locking at this concern. I really don't believe in my heart, and I hope I doa't sound like Goldwater, I really don't believe in my heart that solve realty looked .together at these concerns in any consistent and systematic any. I am ready to concede to anybody that retrenchment could and should take place. I said that 3 or 4 weeks ago, I said it to acoalition group, I said it to this group, I said it in a newspaper article and I'll continue to say it but I think it has to be doe in a responsible may and I think it ham to be doe o unable period of time. That's what my objection Le. My objection Le that we have to get used to being ableto talk to each other. It seems to me that there is a history between the City Council and the SebooL Committee-, and of course I'm relatively new, which is taking precedence over the way we should act and should function. These are very difficult decisions for all of ns Magic figures people have spoken about, nobody knows the magic figure and I'm the Superintendent of Schools. I don't know it. I want know It until program budgeting really goes into effect, and we're starting two pilots in the next year. people want answers now and they want them ye and so forth. I was Mrs 6 months or so and somebody aaid to me, I bold you 6 fears ago to close schools. 'I wasn't here b years ago. But that's A.A. I can understand where people we coming from. on IML I can understand where the City Council is coming from because they want same reaction. I think that's appropriate and right, but I chink our problem still exist. I think we've had aunicat ions prob Lem - that's easy phrase to We bar I think its true. I think it's very true because I'm the Superintendent of Schools and I've spoken to darn few of you. And I think Umt's an. indication of something. It's as much my fault as anybody elae'.s. I don't know .what the magic figure is Mrs. McKernan, or anybody else. I think the magic figure is a lot closer than 564 than 375 and I think 275 would be o disastrous I would hate to contemplate It. I amwrried about the school system. I M also worried about Me teachers. I dont Like to stand on the backs of little children and say be careful, the poor little boys. and girls are going to go down the drain. I don't like using that kind of language that has been need in the peat historically when we referred tobees and desegregation, are. Its the kind of language that's always been offensiveto me and a lot of ¢her people. Nevertheless the way Jerry Lynch has need it is perfectly appropriate because kids can get hurt in this process. I am more worried right now about our teaching staff, and I am worried about the system - the public school system in Bangor. Thank you very much. Mayor Willey Thank you, Dr. Status. Is there any other comments to be made by anyone LB the room, any other councilors. Councilor Gaga M. Chairman, I move the question. Mayer Willey Ike goetion. Me been moved. Yea,. ma'am go right ahead. Beth SupranovLek 224 Larkin Street, Bangor. I would like to clarify several things in terms of perspective. Iwould like to share with you from Nig which is the National Institute for Education figures that indicate that Maine Is 47th Do what it spendsyper capita per child on education. I would note that New Hampshire was quoted they are In fact 39th and from talking with teachers in New Mampehire, and Ism saying this in all seriousness, I 40 not in 14 _ fact wish to have the kind of educat font system which New Hampshire offers. In addition to Maine being 47th, Bangor, according to the State Department of Education & Cultural Services is 34th within the State of Maine.
