the CPC was submitted at this time to meet the CPC's November 151 deadline. The MCA met with Jim Malloy, Carolyn Kosnoff and Mike Cronin to discuss the process before requesting construction funds. Ms. Kreiger left at 4:50 PM. Mr. Cronin stated that the proposed project looks great but there are a couple of steps that need to be followed first.The Design Review Team (DRT) needs to review the project as well as the Capital Expenditures Committees (CEC), the Appropriation Committee (AC) and the Select Board (SB) before presenting to the CPA for construction funds. Ms. Fenollosa stated that CPA funds are allowed to address accessibility but are not allowed to be used for new construction. Mr. Pato stated that the proposed time frame is aggressive and optimistic and as the Select Board liaison to the Commission on Disability he is hopeful that the MCA can make this project happen in the near future. Mr. Pressman asked about the other funding sources listed as "private" and asked if an application will be made in tandem with this request. Ms. Burwell stated that the State has a one for one match up to $200k. Mr. Pressman asked if the matching funds would affect the amount of CPA funds needed. Ms. Burwell said yes. Mr. Horton asked about using space at Muzzey and Ms. Burwell explained that there is not adequate soundproofing. Ms. Fenollosa asked how much of these improvements are the Town's responsibility and Mr. Poltorzycki responded none. Ms. Rhodes asked about parking and Mr. Healy stated that there needs to be a parking study. Mr. Langseth stated that the Committee needs to know which portion of Phase 1 is CPA funding-eligible. Ms. Burwell stated that they are looking for advice on the best way to proceed. Ms. Fenollosa stated that question is better suited for Mike Cronin and the Select Board. Mr. Cronin stated that review by the DRT, CEC, AC and SB needs to be the first step. Mr. Langseth suggested drafting a letter of support and Ms. Walker agreed to draft the letter for the Committee to review on December 91h. Mr. Langseth brought forth a motion to express support of the concept recognizing that the request is premature. The motion was seconded and then withdrawn to discuss at a future meeting. Mr. Cronin left the meeting at 5:33 PM. Ms. Burwell, Mr. Healy and Mr. Poltorzycki left the meeting at 5:34 PM.
