Discussion of Funding the Center Complex Restroom Renovation Project
Funding in the amount of $77K for that project was provided by the 2008 Annual Town Meeting
(ATM) under Article 14a. After having completed the Design & Engineering, $66,823 remains
available for the construction. The lowest responsible bid for the construction ($69,680), plus the
$5,000 contingency felt prudent by the DPF, totals $74,680— leaving a shortfall of $7,857. The Town
proposes to fund that shortfall from the $13,000 balance remaining in the FY2008 Building Envelope
funding (2007 ATM, Article 31j, for remodeling, reconstructing and making extraordinary repairs to
municipal buildings) after preserving the $75,000 estimated for a lift to the Bird Room in the Cary
Memorial Building. (Except for that lift, all other work contemplated with that Building Envelope
funding has been accomplished.)
Motion: Endorse funding the shortfall of approximately $8K on the Center Complex Restroom
Renovation Project (08/14a) from the FY2008 Building Envelope funding (07/31j). Approved 2 -1 (DK
opposed).
The Committee would like to see the installation of the lift to the Bird Room in the Cary Memorial
Building move forward as soon as practical, even if on its own.
8:OOpm: Rejoin the Summit.
These Minutes were approved by the CEC at its meeting on February 8, 2011.
