August 9, 2010 A "summit" meeting with the Community Preservation Committee to discuss CPA policy has been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, September 29 but Susan McLeish reported that the Board of Selectmen may want to accelerate it. Joe Pato and Al Levine reported on the status of their review of health benefit subscription and cost issues and a recent meeting with Carl Valente and Denise Casey. Some progress has been made but there is a good deal more to be done and work on this issue will likely continue up until the next annual town meeting. Al Levine reported on a meeting of the Permanent Building Committee that he attended on June 27. A presentation was made by the architects hired to study the building needs of the police and fire departments, which are considerable. The PBC will be making a report on these issues to the Board of Selectmen in September. Alan commented that the Town will face an enormous challenge in prioritizing and funding the large number of capital needs that have been identified, including not only the police and fire stations but also the high school, several elementary schools, and a new senior center, all of which would require debt exclusions. This will require a great deal of discussion and will be a long process. The meeting concluded with a brief discussion of agenda items for the next meeting, which is scheduled for Monday, August 23. The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m. A list of documents and other exhibits used at the meeting is attached. Respectfully submitted, John Bartenstein Approved August 26, 2010 -3-
