leaks behind the jamb, causing flooding in the entranceway and freezing doors open in winter. There were no questions about this project. 6.Vynebrooke Village Drainage Project (Design Study) - Mr. Keane then addressed this project which requested $10,000 in CPA funds to design a drainage system for Vynebrooke Village. Mr. Keane explained that at present, there is standing water around many of the units, and that surface flow from rain events drains into the basement crawl spaces, causing flooding and mold problems. The requested funding would enable the Housing Authority to work with an engineer who can design a system to direct surface flow away from the units. It was Mr. Keane’s belief that water can be directed to the storm drain system, but this will require Conservation Commission and potentially state permitting. The $10,000 will cover such permitting costs. There were no questions on this project. 7.Cary Memorial Building Signage - Ms. Candy McLaughlin, Organizational Development Director, introduced this project request for $25,000. She explained that the project would include the purchase and mounting of signs for the interior of the Cary Memorial Building, and the exterior of the Town Offices, Cary Memorial Building, and the Police Station. She said there were also plans to erect a free-standing “campus” sign on the lawn in the circle in front of the Cary Memorial Building. Mr. Pagett questioned if there would be too many signs, to which Ms. McLaughlin responded that there would be approximately twenty. Ms. Jane Pagett, (TMM) questioned if a consultant would be used to aid the Town in designing the signs, to which Ms. McLaughlin explained that a consultant had been used in the initial sign project in FY09, but that the vendor for the signs was so adept at making mock-ups, that they did not feel the need for the consultant for this project. Ms. Fenollosa asked if the Historic District Commission (HDC) had reviewed the project to which Ms. McLaughlin responded that she and Shawn Newell, the Project Manager, had walked the buildings with Mr. Joe Welch, Chair of the HDC, and that he had shown support for the project. 8.Archives and Records Management/Records Conservation - Ms. Donna Hooper, Town Clerk, explained that this $150,000 request for CPA funds was the third year of a five year project. She described the work conducted in the first two years and said that FY11 would be devoted to the digitization of Town records, Historical Commission and Historic District Commission records, Assessor’s records, and the reformatting of ten volumes of Cemetery records. She described the work to be undertaken in year 4, and said that she anticipated that Year 5’s request for CPC funds might be less than $150,000. There were no questions about this project. 3
