Public Comment. None
Old Business:
Mark briefed the Committee on his meeting on June 24 with the Board of Selectmen. Board is aware of the budget issue. Mark presented both Scheme A and Scheme B, both building and site plans, along with the comparative estimates that Silver Petrucelli had prepared. The Board of Selectmen is aware of what the Committee has cut, and suggest that the Committee work on the plan that they feel best meets their needs.
There was discussion on the pros and cons of each of the Site Schemes. Each committee member expressed their views on both Schemes with the Committee agreeing that Scheme A has the most merit. An initial motion was made by Ryan Burdick with a second by Charles Steinhart, V to proceed with Scheme A. Prior to a vote being taken, the motion was amended by Ryan Burdick to select Site Scheme A as the preferred option for the Committee to proceed with. Second by Charles Steinhart, V. Amended motion was approved. Amendment was made to clarify that it was the site scheme only that was being voted on.
Additional bonding funds and the STEAP Grant are still in limbo, awaiting the Governor’s action.
Mark Perkins plans to arrange another meeting between himself, Don Smith and the Zoning Enforcement Official prior to the next Committee meeting and the August Planning and Zoning meeting to review site plans and what is necessary for application for Special Permit.
The next Building Committee meeting will be on July 28. Silver Petrucelli will be asked to come and update the Committee on the progress of plans.
Motion to adjourn was made by Mark Perkins, second by Ryan Burdick. Motion passed and meeting adjourned at 7:20 PM
