RECEIVED SELECTMEN CENTER REVITALIZATION COMMITTEE MEETING I' 'tf t 1984 March 15, 1984 The Center Revitalization Committee (CRC) met on Thursday, March 15, at 12 Noon in the Selectmen' s Meeting Room in the Town Office Building Present from the CRC were Margery Battin (chair) , Joseph Trani , Laura Nichols , John Powell, Karsten Sorensen, David Wells , Robert Sacco , and Jacqui Bateson Present from the Town were Wal- ter Tonaszuck, Robert Bowyer, Captain James Lima, and Robert Hutchinson Also attending were Tim Wege (Chamber of Commerce) , Angela Frick (MAPC) , and John Oberteuffer (Conservation Commission) Item 1 Mr Hutchinson went over his report (dated 3/15) with the committee on the proposed attendent parking program He said that since we cannot use anticipated revenues to fund the project that we would, theoretically, be talking about a $10 ,000 deficit for the first year, depending on how costs for DPW & Police services are allocated He suggested that we go forward and receive pro- posals . Although it was suggested that capital costs could be reduced by using 1/2 of the lot (closest to Station Way) , it was the con- sensus of the committee that we want to use the entire lot but, alternative plans will be considered Dave Wells asked about possible risks Will the lot be used? (This relates back to the question of what is the actual deficit?) Wells also asked about the procedure for raising the parking fees and was told that this could happen at anytime since the decision would be up to the Selectmen Mr . Tonaszuck advised the committee that sewer construction in August , in the Meriam Street Lot , could put a damper on our plans for attended parking John Oberteuffer pointed out that the attended parking could actually help to minimize the impact of the sewer construction on the parking situation Captain Lima asked if the Town could have the right to review the applicants for the attendent positions Mr Hutchinson advised that this can be written into the proposal At Mrs Battin's request , John Oberteuffer will make a pre- sentation to the Selectmen at Monday night 's meeting Mr Hutchinson suggested that while we 'll look at contract vs lease he still thought that contract would be the best way to go Sacco raised the issue of our obligation to plow the lot at a certain time Mr Tonaszuck pointed out that as a matter of course that lot is plowed first thing in the morning (if it is a nightime storm) or after the lot clears out (if it is a daytime storm) A) rt�ti
