Budget Updates Tom, Stephanie and Kris met recently with Mary Ann Sumner to discuss the
Commission's budget. In addition to anticipated county and state cuts, the county administrator
recently eliminated all youth municipal jobs money; for Dryden iii 2009 this was $5677. If the Town
reduces its match by this amount and the other budget cuts are factored in, significant cut's to youth
programming kill be necessary. The group discussed hove best to handle this if tihe Town keeps its
support at the same level as 2009 this would mitigate the impact of the cuts. Mary Ann thought this
may be possible; she requested that when the D C irneets to do budget allocations that it prepare
scenarios. mim mum required match by Town, Town match at same level as 2009, Town match
increasing to cover cuts. The members thanked her for her support_ Mary Ann also suggested that
DY may want to come to apeoining Town budget sessions to clarify the cuts and request_ She will
notify Tom of dates. Iris has no other news about possible budget cuts.

any questions on the funding proposals_ She clarified R S's youth employment — number of kids
employed and in what: settings. DYC members asked that CCE provide more regular details about this
component of their program; iris will pass on this request_ iris clarified a couple of other items in the
Jr IYS budget also.
