What is the town doing to economize?
The Town Manager is a member of a ten town consortium that looks for ways to regionalize projects such as purchasing to save money. Arlington became certified as a Green Community, which means it can receive grants for improvements that reduce energy costs. The town has found ways to outsource work in order to both reduce cost of the services and the town’s pension/health care costs. Administration and support personnel have been cut until they are as lean as possible. The Town Reorganization committee has put before Town Meeting an article proposing that common services be consolidated between the town and the schools to economize and standardize services. The DPW is constantly looking at new technologies to be more efficient and reduce staffing.
