The only substantive changes, following todayÈs discussion by this Committee, would be: (1) Inclusion of Mr. AddelsonÈs updated table as the Appendix to the CommitteeÈs Report; (2) Under Article 3 (Land AcquisitionÄOff Concord Avenue), to include in the Funding Requested Authorization the estimated legal expenses from the presented Taking Estimate; and (3) To reverse the order of the Add Alternates identified in the discussion under Article 10 (Amend Article 5 of November 4, 2013, STM, Renovation to Community Center). Mr. Kanter reported that, as proposed at the CommitteeÈs meeting on June 3, 2014, in regard to Article 10, he had spoken with Pat Goddard, Director of Public Facilities, about the CommitteeÈs concern with the possible need for the structural work that had been eliminated during the value-engineering effort if heavy office equipment were to be installed in the office area that would have had the additional structural support. Mr. Goddard said the current supporting structure would handle the placement of such heavy equipment along the walls and if there were need to create a vault area full of such equipment, it would be done in the basement storage area of the mansion. Mr. Kanter also reported that the Community Preservation Committee (CPC) had at its meeting earlier today voted to recommend the identified funding request to the STM and that a funding request had been made to, and approved by, the Community Preservation Committee for use of its Administrative Budget for the Title Review effort regarding the land addressed by Article 3.
