Finance Committee had a few remaining recommendations to make for Town Meeting.
Article 2 - Transfers
Polowczyk moved to recommend Article 2. Loewenstein seconded, and the motion carried 7-0.
Article 7 - Teamsters Contract
Loewenstein moved to recommend Article 3. Polowczyk seconded, and the motion carried 8-0.
Article 19 - Rehab of Old COA Building or South Wellfleet Fire Station
Town Administrator Paul Sieloff explained that the Article would authorize the Town to go forward with rehabilitating an alternate space if air quality problems at the Building & Health Department offices cannot be corrected. The next effort will be a rebalancing of the air system. John Morrissey suggested moving money from the Stabilization Fund instead of borrowing, but other members were not in favor of that. Sylvia Smith said that the Town did not own the old COA building and was against recommending tearing down a structure that the Town did not own. Sorrell and Loewenstein supported the plan to authorize borrowing because the air quality problem needs to be remediated. Sieloff said that renting trailers was only a temporary solution.
Sorrell moved to recommend Article 19. Loewenstein seconded, and the motion carried 5-3.
Article 29 - Beach St.
Bradford moved to approve Article 29. Sorrell seconded, and the motion carried 7-1.
