Goddard said he felt the more important project was the utility of the Fire <br />Headquarters. <br /> <br />Ms. Weiss asked Ms. Vine if there was any chance of the Human Services <br />Department relocating in Town Offices. Ms. Vine addressed this issue, stating <br />that the Human Services presently occupied 10,000 square feet of space, and <br />physically would not fit in Town Offices. A general discussion of the Human <br />Services and Youth Services department ensued <br /> <br />Mr. Adler suggested that the Town office design team should carefully consider <br />what can be done with temporary wall dividers, which would be far less <br />expensive than tearing down and rebuilding permanent walls. He said it was his <br />experience that temporary reconfiguration could accomplished a great deal at a <br />very reasonable cost. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2.Fire Headquarters Renovation and Redesign Update <br />– At the request of the <br />Committee, Mr. Goddard updated those present on the progress of the Fire <br />Headquarters Renovation and Redesign Project. He said there was still not <br />consensus on the most appropriate plan of the three options (ie, A, B, or C). He <br />reported that discussions with the Historic District Commission had opened up the <br />topic to re-evaluation. What is likely is that additional study monies will be <br />sought, in the range of $100,000, with approximately $29,700 requested from the <br />CPC. The additional monies would extend the design period and allow for <br />continued community input. Ms. Weiss asked who the design consultant would be <br />for the continued work, to which Mr. Goddard replied that it would be the <br />McGuire Group, who has done the design work to date. <br /> <br /> <br />3.Executive Session <br />– At 5:25 pm, the Committee voted unanimously to enter into <br />Executive Session for the purposes of discussing land acquisitions, such <br />discussions if held in Open Session, could jeopardize the negotiations for the <br />purchases. The Committee also voted to return to Open Session after the <br />Executive Session. The Committee returned to Open Session at 5:37. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Meeting was adjourned at 5:40 pm. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nathalie Rice <br />Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />Community Preservation Committee <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
