CommitteeÈs Report to the June 16, 2014, STM:
th
Mr. Kanter led a discussion of the 5 draft of this CommitteeÈs report. 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.
