BOARD DISCUSSION:
1. Emergency Services Building Committee
Mr. Stephenson learned at the ESBC’s meeting that the contract for the new fire station was going to be signed any day, which required a vacant site. In order to comply with the agreement, the town was going to have to relocate the Town Hall Annex personnel and demolish the building quite possible by the beginning of February.
He understood that Mr. Bugbee’s initial plan was to lease ( 1 ) double wide and ( 1 ) storage container. Issues with the proposal were that the accommodations were inadequate for the town hall annex functions, and the storage containers were neither secured or temperature controlled.
Representatives from the Board of Health, the Planning Board and Building Dept were requesting two ( 2 ) double wide trailers, with adjustable floor plans, so that annex personnel can configure their own spaces. Mr. McLean noted that there was sufficient funds to cover costs for the two ( 2 ) double wide trailers and for the site preparation. The question was whether there was enough space for the trailers and the connector road.
There being too many questions and no answers about the requirements for a building permit, a disposal works permit, electrical and plumbing permits, it was recommended that they give themselves a week to assemble the information.
Thomas Pachico, the Health Agent questioned Mr. Bugbee’s figures, suggesting that the quote(s) would be substantially less if the Public Works Department did the work. He offered to secure general figures for the site preparation with local contractors for the bid specifications. Mr. Pachico, Mr.. Barwick (Building Inspector), Mr. LaPiana (DPW Director) all agreed to work together to resolve these issues.
Mr. Stephenson thought they should convene regular meetings to work out floor plan layout. Mr. Peak understood and noted that he did not have an issue with the recommendation. He agreed that it was important to get the views and opinions of the individuals that were going to be impacted by the proposals.
Mr. Packer indicated that he has rented trailers in the past for the operations of his business, and recommended that they check the weight factor for the filing cabinets.
Mr. Stephenson inquired if Mr. Packer wouldn’t mind calling Mr. l Bugbee with regards to the modular trailers. Mr. Packer offered to share what information he had with the town administrator.
