<br />Capital Expenditures Committee <br /> <br /> <br />Colleagues: <br /> Special Town Meeting <br /> 1. My notes of yesterday erred. The at Clarke Jan. 22 starts <br /> 8:30 p.m. 7:30 <br />at, not 8:00, so our meeting beforehand can, presumably, begin at, not <br />7:00. <br /> next Wednesday, Jan. 15, at LHS at 6:00 p.m. <br /> 2. We remain scheduled to meet <br />for pizza and talk about the STM, before the Summit, which begins at 7:30. George and <br />Shirley are coordinating pizza orders; let them know your preference. I am happy to bring <br />drinks, if desired, or to pitch in otherwise. Let me know needs/wants. (Given the limited <br />progress made last night, we can anticipate sending out for breakfast Thursday morning <br />during the Summit, too! [Only half kidding.]) <br /> comments and suggestions <br /> 3. Remember to e-mail Charlie by this weekend your <br />for our report to the Special Town Meeting <br /> on Lincoln Park fields. <br /> Appropriation meets tonight <br /> 4. Note that, partly overlapping TMMA (see <br />separately forwarded e-mail from Debra). <br /> rough priorities list from the <br /> 5. Charlie and Shirley asked me to re-circulate our <br />November 20 meeting <br />; it appears here, but remember that this preceded our briefing <br />from the School Committee, which alters things substantially: <br /> <br />Tentative priorities for FY '04 requests (using the preliminary School list, prior <br />to discussion with School Committee, and excluding LHS acoustics and <br />auditorium; based on Town Manager November 14 list and prior presentations <br />to the committee); assumption is cash, not borrowing, and with full 5 percent of <br />levy (current funding policy). Further assumes street work funded at Ch. 90 <br />level plus prior override ($950,000 total), but the remaining $85,000 cash <br />capital funding at risk; and committee wariness about sneaking operating items <br />(street striping, small equipment requests) into capital: <br />1. Landfill closure, $450,000 <br />2. Fire engine replacement, $327, 000 <br />3. Hastings foundation wall repair, $65,000 <br />4. DPW equipment replacement (amount from cash capital vs. enterprise <br />unclear, based on later presentation to Selectmen; assume about $125,000) <br />5. School roof leak repairs, as many as could be accommodated (up to about <br />$190,000) <br />6. Cary Hall retrofit out of building envelope, $150,000 <br /> <br />7. Fire air compressor equipment, $35,000 <br /> <br /> <br />Happy shoveling or skiing. JSR <br />2003-01-09 <br /> <br /> <br />
