03/09/2022 AC Minutes (e) Center Playground Bathrooms and Maintenance Building Renovation: The SB has not yet taken a position on this article because of issues associated with the potential location of a new high school. If the project does go forward, the facility would be renovated—it would not be a modular building or reconstructed—and the cost would probably be less than the current$915,000 appropriation request. It was agreed to defer taking a vote in view of these uncertainties. (k)LexHAB – 116 Vine Street Construction Funds: Because the cost estimate for this project has increased from $5.3 million to $5.7 million, LexHAB is considering whether to postpone the project at this time. The Community Preservation Committee is meeting next week, at which time LexHAB could request the additional funds if it chooses to do so. It was agreed to defer taking a vote because of uncertainties. After identifying the sources for the funds being put into the stabilization funds under Article 19, Ms. Kosnoff provided additional information, as follows: • She will provide official stabilization fund balances as of the end of the most recent fiscal year, together with a list of other amounts that have been deposited into them since that date; together, these should closely approximate current fund balances. • The School Committee voted to request that a special town meeting be called (which would be STM 2022-2)to address the need for an LHS feasibility study, with a funding request of $1.825 million. The SB has not yet acted on this request. • The appropriation requested under STM 2022-1 Article 2: Police Station Replacement is being reduced from $32.8 million to $32.4 million. • Under existing legislation, public meetings can be held remotely until July 15, 2022. The SB has decided to hold the 2022-1 STM and ATM remotely. Mr. Parker reviewed the articles for which votes still need to be taken. These should be addressed at this Committee's March 16 meeting. It can be decided at that time whether another meeting the following week is needed. Mr. Parker also said that he would post 7:00 p.m. meetings for each evening before town meeting sessions, to be held only if necessary.
