FY24 Municipal Budoet Requests - Discussion 
#544 — Revere & Son Heritage Trust — Victor DelVecchio and Alan Hines 
Mr. DelVecchio presented information regarding the FY24 budget request for the Revere & Son Heritage Trust. The 
following are highlights of the discussion: 
The trust has two part-time positions. The first is not a Board Secretary as staled in the MUNIS budget 
report but is an Administrative Assistant position for which the Trust is requesting a salary of $18,000 with an 
increase from 10 hours to 15 hours. The position actually performs the duties of an Executive Assistant 
position. The position started 2-3 years ago as a Board Secretary for the Paul Revere Commission and was 
performed by a different individual than the one in the current position. 
The Trust needs a "point person" for managing the second floor of the Mill as well as the Barn. Originally the 
position performed "ad hoc" research on museum related topics. The duties also included responding to 
website inquiries, coordinating meetings with Board members, coordinating volunteers with regard to social 
media distribution, obtaining electronic copies of documents and archiving of the documents, preparing 
PowerPoint and graphics, scheduling the use of the second floor of the Mill, scheduling use of the 
Barn/Museum, scheduling use of open space and Implementing various uses and regulations for the 
buildings. The position also prepares agendas, books meeting rooms and takes minutes. 
The position has evolved to someone that will research and draft rental fees for the Barn and the second 
floor of the Mill, preparing CPA applications and act as the Trust interface with the Northern Spy restaurant, 
the Town and the public. Also, the position will act as the facilities manager — sets up, purchases when 
needed, draft AC/heating instructions. The Trust will have the assistance of the Town maintenance 
department but the position will have to explain to members and volunteers on using the two facilities. The 
position meets on site with renters with the hopes of generating revenue and tends to the needs of those 
renters such as a wedding party. The position will provide back up to the Revere & Son Heritage Trust 
Program Coordinator/Event Planner. The position also bills the restaurant when they use the second floor of 
the Mill. 
The hourly rate will increase by 70 cents. 
Program Coordinator/Event Planner — Last year's budget was $5,000. The Trust is requesting an increase 
to $7,000. The Trust provided a $1,700 stipend (from a donation) to the Coordinator because the position
