Asst.; Sandy Shaw and Dick Wolk. David Kanter, CEC liaison was also present. The meeting was called to order at 2:07 pm. The purpose of the meeting was to review four projects before the CPC for FY 2010. These included Greeley Village roof replacement, Open Space planning for the Conservation Commission, the Police Station Needs Study, and the Munroe Tavern Historic Structure Report and Needs Study. 1.Greeley Village Roof Replacement - Steve Keane of the Lexington Housing Authority presented the Authority’s request for $320,828 for the replacement of roofs on 25 buildings at Greeley Village. (This represents 100 units of housing.) Mr. Keane explained that a 40 year shingle would be used which had a high efficiency rating. He said there has been some damage to the gutters and fascia over time, and that some repair work is needed. He is working on this aspect of the project with the DHCD . There was some discussion of the skylights, which the Committee felt might not be an eligible expense. In response to a question about other sources of funding, Mr. Keane told the Committee that the Authority receives $46,000 annually from the State, which is earmarked for asbestos removal and other projects. Ms. Weiss asked if the requested amount of $320,828 would be enough to cover the entire roofing job, to which Mr. Keane replied that it would. Mr. Keane updated the Committee on the progress of the FY 2009 project to replace windows at Greeley Village. He said they were about 40% complete with the project, and he anticipated the job would be finished in 2-3 weeks. At Vynebrook Village, he said an architect has been hired, and they are about 90% st done with the concept plan. He expects the job will go out to bid on January 1, with work expected to commence in the spring. 2.Executive Session –The Committeeconducted a roll call vote and voted unanimously to enter into Executive Session for the purposes of discussing CPC funding related to land acquisition. The Committee said it would return to Open Session to resume its public Meeting. The Committee returned to Open Session at 2:50 pm. 1
