- Develop and execute a communication plan, using the information developed above, to inform voters for a town meeting to secure funding for the development of final plans & construction documents for a new public safety complex to be built at the Princeton center school site.~ The vote may include the choice of building all new or renovating and including a portion of the original building.~

- Option 3 additional construction requirements & costs for incorporating original classrooms of PC bld.
- From review, develop the above conceptual designs with input from citizens, format tbd.
- Work with Selectboard to secure small amount of funding ($10-25K) for the professional review, elevations, floor plans and cost modeling.

Key points from previous meetings:
- JWA did a detailed analysis of needs and NFPA and Police standards which drive much of the building size and configuration. FSCp2 needs this level of detail so that we can complete the review.
- Bill Holder, to maintain Town debt to less than 7% of Town Budget would constrain total borrowing to $4M-6M over the next 3 years for all purposes including a public safety complex.
