Charlotte <br />Rogers, Director of Human Services was also in attendance. Mr. Goddard <br />noted that the Upgrades Project was the second phase of the Muzzey Senior <br />Center applications, the original project having commenced in FY 12 with an <br />Improvements Study. He summarized the work to be undertaken in Phase 2, <br />which included; the installation of a new stairway, infilling areas between the <br />two floors, upgrades to the HVAC system, lighting upgrades, a wheelchair lift <br />and the correction of MAAB (Massachusetts Architectural Board) violations. <br />He said there were several issues of safety, such as unequal stair treads, which <br />needed correction. In response to a question from Mr. Wolk, Mr. Goddard <br />explained that he did not know if the Muzzey Condominium Building would <br />be the ultimate home of the Senior Center, but that the improvements were <br />very necessary from a safety standpoint. He noted that the Senior Center <br />serves up to 100 people a day, many of whom have limited access issues. <br /> <br />Mr. Adler noted that the project may benefit the Muzzey Condominium <br />owners since it involves upgrades to the main entrance, and questioned <br />whether the project qualified as an affordable housing project. There was <br />some discussion of this point, but the CPC felt the work should remain in the <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
