David Pinsonneault, new Superintendent of Public Grounds, was introduced to the members <br />of the Recreation Committee and welcomed to the Town. <br /> <br />2. The minutes from September 20, 2000 were approved. <br /> <br />3. Capital Budget 5-year <br />Karen Simmons had to turn in the 5-year Capital Budget last week. Some changes have been <br />made, so we need to go over it. We’ve got some big developments on the Pine Meadows <br />project. The entire project is going to cost over $530,000 for the maintenance building, parking <br />lot and road. With such a high cost, we cannot afford to do the entire project in one year, so <br />Karen is recommending in the budget that the project be phased in over two years. <br /> Phase I: would be to complete the road. <br /> Phase II: would include the maintenance building and the parking lot. <br /> <br />Don led a discussion with the committee questioning whether or not this was a necessary <br />investment. The committee feels that the overall cost is a bit expensive, and would like to look at <br />it again at the next meeting. The feeling is that the members need to be able to rationalize the <br />expense themselves before they can defend it at Town Meeting. It was suggested that Dick <br />Lakutis come to the next meeting, if possible, to outline the details of the project and what the <br />various components would be when broken down. <br /> <br />Retaining wall - The engineers are still conducting their study on the retaining wall. Karen does <br />not have a recommendation for the committee yet. However, she had to include it in the 5-year <br />capital plan, so she has put a placeholder in for FY05.
