They questioned whether other such pipe failures might be found which would increase the FY 2013 request of $605,718.

He said he did not expect the estimate for Phase III to be increased. Mr. Pinsonnealt explained the timing of the Phase II and III and the various rotations of the playing fields.

Mr. Keane said he had been working with engineer Fred Russell and that Town Engineer, John Livsey was familiar with the grid design proposed by Mr. Russell. He said the engineering work was still in progress, and that Mr. Russell felt there would be no significant impact on the Vine Brook Mr. Keane explained that the project would eliminate the 2-3 feet of water that accumulates after storms in the crawl spaces below the units, often resulting in mold problems. In response to questions from the Committee, Mr. Keane explained that the design study would be finished in January, and that the drainage work would be completed within a year.
