Ms.
Maloney called the meeting to order at 7:10 PM in the Planning and Development Room.
MINUTES: Motion by Ms. Unger to amend the
September 4, 2003 minutes to add that the
record should show that the Library Trustees submitted a request to the
CIP, but was unable to attend and present a report to the CIP subcommittee
at the last meeting. Motion by Ms. Unger, seconded by Ms. Prendergast, to
approve as amended the minutes of the CIP meeting held on September 4,
2003. Motion was unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS: Ms. Maloney reported the Searles Renovation Bond
obligation amounts for the years 2004 2011. Ms. Maloney will inquire
with Dana Call why the bond rate is variable, and not fixed. The property
valuations will not be available until the end of September. Ms. Maloney
will ask Peter Griffin what the anticipated rental revenues will be from
Searles Chapel. Ms. Maloney will ask John Barrett for the balance in the
Library CRF (Capital Reserve Fund). Ms. Unger reported the balance in the
School Impact Fees Fund, as of August 28, 2003, was $299,773. Therefore, approximately $250,000 (the
balance less $50,000 reserved) could be used for the 2004 CIP budget.
NEW BUSINESS: The subcommittee proceeded with the classification
process. Each member gave his/her classification ranking per request,
after which an average ranking was calculated and assigned to each
request. It was agreed that a discussion and classification of the two
School District high school and
elementary facilities needs requests would be deferred until our next
meeting. Ms. Unger will computerize the classification ranking results
thus far and email them to everyone before the next meeting. Ms. Maloney
will ask Fire Chief Messier to spec out Engine 2 to see what that type of
engine would cost as a comparison to the Fire Depts request for $410,000
for a new engine in 2004.
The
meeting was adjourned at 9:25
PM. Motion to adjourn by Mr. Hohenberger, seconded by Mr. Merchant.
These
minutes are in draft form and have not been approved by the CIP
Subcommittee.
Respectfully submitted, Suzanne Jortberg
