They're hoping for a quote next week and to do the construction work this fall. They're holding o1I on beginning the previously approved dredging of the detention basin as there is more-extensive dredging now contemplated under the request for FY20 10. (Approximately $20K of' the prior appropriation, therefore, will be available to apply to the new request.) There's a lot of contaminated water coming into the Old Reservoir and the detention basin, hence the new request. Review of past appropriations 08/14(a), $77K, Center Restroom project. I)/E is in progress with construction in the spring hopefully. 08/14(b), $100K, Bridge athletic field, construction started last week. Bowman, FY08. There is a problem with the company not following through on the bid. They'll re- hid Bowman and they may be able to do it this fall. The backstop was bid separately and is done. The rest of the job was bid out but not under contract. 08/28: Supplemental fur Center basketball courts. This is almost complete. SS: asks about Valley Tennis court orientation (N/S/E/W).

New Requests Stormwater Mitigation at Old Reservoir. $569K for phase 1, CPA (preserving open space and recreation). The high bacteria in the reservoir was due to storms, not swimmers. 2 outflows go into the reservoir and 2 into the detention basin. The detention basin flows into the reservoir through a 4" pipe. There's a plan to expand the basin so that bacteria die there. They're recommending two basins. They're looking at "319" grant (60% Federal/40% town)—a Federal grant under the Clean Water Act, but administered b the state. y Q: Could we have used 319 grants previously? [Rec: probably not] Q: How would the grant be administered? [Rob Addelson: we would appropriate the gross cost and then reimburse the CPA account] Phase 2: create 2detention basin, $190,047. CPA in FY11. 11d Pine Meadows, $200K CPA, FY 10.
