<br /> 14(e)9 Oakland Street-Renovation and Adaptive Reuse
<br /> In 2018, Town Meeting approved $200,000 of a total project cost of$425,000 to help fund the renovation
<br /> of 9 Oakland Street, part of the Douglas House site, to provide an additional common area for residents,
<br /> additional meeting and office space for staff from Douglas House, and space for the SLI Wellness Center.
<br /> Due to unanticipated Town Building Department requirements that the facility be made structurally safer,
<br /> the revised plan will require an additional $84,905 to complete.
<br /> This request seeks$70,000 of supplemental funds to complete the renovation of the building.The remaining
<br /> amount will be obtained through foundation grants,private donations, and contributions from SLI's Board
<br /> of Directors.
<br /> 14(t)Athletic Field Complex at Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School
<br /> Negotiations on a potential agreement between the Town and MRHS have not progressed to the point where
<br /> funding can be requested.
<br /> 14(2) Old Reservoir Bathhouse Renovation
<br /> The Old Reservoir Bathhouse was built in 1975 and needs a complete renovation. This is the second phase
<br /> of a two-phase approach;the feasibility study,design, and engineering costs associated with the renovation
<br /> phase were appropriated at the 2018 Annual Town Meeting. Based on the findings of the feasibility study
<br /> and due to cost implications, the decision has been made to renovate the existing building rather than de-
<br /> molish and construct a brand new bathhouse.
<br /> The project will include repairs to the plumbing system and installation of all new fixtures(showers,toilets,
<br /> sinks, and drinking fountain),installation of new aerators,replacement of the existing roof,reconfiguration
<br /> of the main entrance, addition of small program space, and the installation of a new shade structure. Addi-
<br /> tionally, based on the findings in the ADA Compliance Study completed in 2017, the bathhouse is not
<br /> ADA-compliant in its current condition. This project will address the accessibility issues in the bathhouse,
<br /> as well as the walkway and surrounding site.
<br /> 14(h)Park Improvements-Hard Court Resurfacing
<br /> This request will fund the resurfacing, painting, and striping of the tennis and basketball courts at Adams
<br /> Park. The project also includes the installation of a permanent bike rack at the park. The tennis and basket-
<br /> ball courts were last resurfaced in 2004. This is the latest project in the Recreation Committee's hard-court
<br /> resurfacing program, which includes resurfacing, painting, and striping the hard court surfaces (basketball
<br /> courts, tennis courts, track) and installing new posts, backboards, nets, and rims at recreational facilities
<br /> throughout the Town. Subsequent FY2022—FY2023 requests are anticipated for similar upgrades to the
<br /> Valley Road tennis courts, Center basketball courts, and Gallagher tennis courts.
<br /> 140) Park Improvements-Athletic Fields
<br /> This request will fund the Diamond Middle School Field renovation,including drainage,laser grading,and
<br /> new irrigation controls.An accessible route will be installed along the fence on the west side of the site that
<br /> connects the ball fields to each other and the parking lot. An accessible walk will be installed leading from
<br /> the parking lot and field area to the portable bathroom facility. This project is part of an ongoing multi-year
<br /> capital program to address safety and playability concerns and to provide adequate and safe field conditions
<br /> for neighborhood families,recreation,and school programs at playgrounds and parks throughout the Town.
<br /> The current request is for $435,000. Subsequent FY2021—FY2024 requests are anticipated for similar up-
<br /> grades to the athletic fields at the Harrington School Field, Muzzey Field, Fiske School Field and Bridge
<br /> School Field.
