Meeting Motions / Actions and Summary of Discussions:
An update of the Georgetown Senior Community Center included a report that Ambient Temperature Corp. of Newburyport has been named as the project’s General Contractor. Students from Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School have begun demolition of ceiling work needed to begin framing work. Expected to complete their work this spring, the students will return in the fall to complete additional carpentry work. Metal studs stored in the attic of Town Hall can be used as framing for the project. The Community Preservation Committee has recommended $125,000 of the requested $175,000 needed to complete the project. Colleen met with the Finance Committee on Sat. Feb. 27 to review the COA’s proposed Operational Budget of $133,961 for FY17, along with a proposed spending plan for the next
three years. The budget includes an increase in hours for current staff as well as money for maintenance of the new Senior Center, rent for the current location through the fall and some furnishings for the new center. With regret, the COA accepted Treasurer Sue Gardiner’s resignation from the board. Board members agreed to recommend Alternate Ann Stewart be named as a full board member. Colleen will email the recommendations to the Board of Selectmen. Resident and volunteer Janice Downey has expressed interest in the vacant alternate position. Colleen will provide her with an application and orientation information.
