After a lengthy discussion it was decided to reallocate the $56,000 for the Paint Ellsworth School Exterior item to use for road resurfacing, the amended motion was approved unanimously.
Discussion regarding what projects to Bond
Ms. Snyder stated that the Road Resurfacing amount should be higher. Mayor Pelkey stated that the last time a bond was done, it was for $10 million and he agreed that it should be done again.
The Committee discussed putting all of the ADA upgrades for all buildings into one item. Mr. Hankard stated that he is sorting through the information and that there may be duplication of some items within the SWHS ADA Updates (OCR) and High School code upgrades. He was going to recommend that the High School Code Upgrades item be changed to School Code Upgrades. The Mayor stated that the Committee needs to have a better understanding of these projects before going to referendum. There was discussion regarding separating life safety updates and setting a priority list of those items. It was decided that staff will go through the items that need to be completed in the High School and Town Hall and those will be addressed in the referendum question. Ms. Snyder pointed out that it wouldn’t be
prudent to include the elementary schools because they are unsure of what the future plans are.
Mr. Walter Summers distributed information related to the Town Hall Fire Upgrades. Information is attached as Exhibit C.
