Committee thanked Ms. Shaw for shepherding the sign project to completion. c. Ms. Manz updated the CPC on the progress of the SB 765, An Act to Sustain Community Preservation. She said she and Ms. Rice had attended a ten-year celebration of the Community Preservation Coalition at the State House in September, and had had the opportunity to talk to Lexington’s legislators about the bill. She noted, that despite support for the bill, it did not seem to be “at the top of the list” for passage. 3.Cary Library Supplemental Appropriation for FY12, $34,151 - Sergio DeMango, Facilities Project Manager, Koren Stembridge, Director of the Library, and Rob Addelson, Assistant Town Manager for Finance were present for the discussion. Mr. DeMango presented the Library’s request for supplemental funds for the project to build a secure storage room for historical documents. The 2011 Town Meeting approved $100,000 for this work, but the project had come in $30,000 over bid. The Library had also realized that the existing shelving, which was to be reused in the new storage room, was not sufficient. Mr. DeMango explained that the storage room, (not technically a vault) would have fire suppression, HVAC and humidity control. He said he would work as the general contractor for the job to save money, and he itemized the fire suppression, HVAC, electric and construction costs. He estimated the total project costs to be $31,757 including $4,000 in contingency costs. The Committee discussed the proposal, noting that there might be additional costs, and voted (8-0) to recommend approval of the application for $35,000 in supplemental funding. 4.Review of Municipal Projects - Ms. Manz reviewed the municipal applications for CPA funding, and there was a brief discussion on each of the projects.
