Selectmen’s Meeting Minutes September 8, 1997 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, September 8, 1997 in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, Town Office Building at 7:30 p.m. Chairman McSweeney, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Eddison, Mr. Enrich; Mr. White, Town Manager; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel; and Ms. Smith, Executive Clerk, were present. Third Annual Volunteer Celebration Mrs. Eddison requested that permission be given to use the Battle Green for the Third Annual Volunteer Celebration on Saturday, October 4 before the start of Octoberfest. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the request to use the Battle Green on Saturday, October 4 for the Third Annual Volunteer Celebration. School Renovation Project Mr. McSweeney acknowledged all the hard work put forth by the Permanent Building Committee on the school renovation project. Mr. Bruckman reviewed the report given to the Selectmen and explained the most recent estimated figures for the project would be around $113,200,000. There was much discussion about what contributed to the jump from $83.4 million to $113 million for the project and what the possibility was of the number going even higher. Appropriation Committee Chairman Paul Lapointe reported that his committee voted to endorse the project and hoped it would be brought before Town Meeting this fall and then a debt exclusion override be put before the voters. Capital Expenditures Committee Chairman Bill Kennedy reported that his committee requests that the Board of Selectmen vote to schedule, as soon as possible, a special town meeting and special election. After much discussion the Chairman indicated that the Board members would be reviewing the report and cost estimates they were given this past weekend. There will be a full board present at the next meeting on September 22 and it is hoped that a decision will be made at that meeting on whether or not to call a Special Town Meeting and a debt exclusion override election.
