8/23/16Executive Session Minutes Construction Funds—Fall 2017 STM funding request. It is anticipated that construction of the swing space would begin in the fall of 2017, with a completion target date of summer 2018 when construction of a new fire station would begin. Funding for the replacement fire station would require a comparable,overlapping,funding sequence. It is assumed that adebt exclusion vote would be required, although timing has not been discussed by the BoS. It was noted that use of the swing space for the fire department should not exceed two years because of the potential toll on fire department equipment and morale issues. The School Committee has been asked to refrain from considering the immediate use of 171-173 Bedford Street for its purposes. It might be used as swing space for the police department when a new police headquarters is built. There was discussion about this Committee’s report to the STM2016-5, which should be finalized by September 8. It is hoped that the Letter of Intent would be signed by September 1.
