6. Status of lease —The following is from an email sent to the BOS on 7/17/2018 regarding a
phone call I received from DCR Commissioner Roy:
"DCR Commissioner Roy called and said he spoke with DCAMM and they could offer an
extension of the lease such that we have thirty years remaining in the lease —the combination
of what's remaining in the original lease and the extension. For instance if we bond in 2020
we'd have ten years left of the original lease and DCAMM would authorize another 20 years."
The lease will be discussed the October 24th DCR meeting. Town Counsel has been asked to
attend.Source page 10

Project: Metropolis Rink Renovation/Restoration
Canton, MA
Subject: Scope of Work –FEMA Reimbursement
By: Thomas A. Scarlata, CSI, CCS, CCCA, AIA
Principal
The Investigation and Evaluation Report of the Metropolis Rink in Canton MA evaluated the current
condition of the structure, identified damage and code deficiencies, and proposed a scope of work to
rebuild the rink to a functional code complaint condition. Total construction and project costs were
prepared based on the requirements identified in the report. The costs did not define work that was
directly attributable to the collapse, also referred to as the “event”. This document breaks down the
components that require replacement or repair that are a direct result of the event.
DEFINITION OF THE EVENT
• Collapse of the roof structure at the south end of the rink space (roughly ¼ of the roof)
• Damage to roof structure adjacent to collapsed area where members were pulled or twisted
when the roof structure collapsed
• Damage to the wall framing at the collapsed area
• Damage to the building envelope at the collapsed end, south, east and west walls.
• Damage to the north wall caused by internal air pressure created by displacement of air when
the structure fell.
• Damage to the locker room roof structure where the support columns were displaced from the
roof collapse.
• Damage to the low-E ceiling membrane at the collapsed area and partial damage at the next
bay
• Damage to the light fixtures and devices in the collapsed portion of the rink
• Damage to the fire alarm system devices in the collapsed portion of the rink
• Damage to the dasherboard system in the collapsed portion of the rink
• Damage to the fixed bleachers at the collapsed portion of the rink
• Damage to interior finishes at the collapsed portion of the rink, rink mating, etc.
• Damage to the interior wall between the rink and locker rooms

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE EVENT
Plumbing and Hydronic Heating System
The unknown nature of the collapse prevented entrance to the building. Gas and power service were
terminated and the building’s heat and recirculation pumps were shut down. The building’s domestic
water piping, plumbing fixtures, drains, heating appliances, hydronic piping, and heating elements could
not be drained down to protect pipes, equipment, and fixtures from freezing. During the I&E
investigation, damage to frozen pipes and equipment was observed.
Damage of Finishes and Equipment from Exposure
Other damage can be attributed to the unheated condition of the building. This includes:
• Finish damage from moisture, condensation, and freeze thaw
• Electrical component damage and loss of function from moisture and freeze thaw
• Refrigeration system damage and loss of function from moisture and freeze thaw
The building was functioning and received routine maintenance from the Town at the time of the event.
The closure of the rink and its unconditioned state has contributed to corrosion of metallic elements and
parts of equipment, failure of finishes, and moisture condensing and collecting in mechanical and
electrical equipment. A portion of the replacement cost of these elements is attributable to the event.
Selective Demolish Costs
The scope of work includes selective demolish of existing components that are essential to the repair of
the damaged work and reconstruction of the rink. We have not included demolition costs to remove the
collapsed structure.

SCOPE OF WORK
Items and Description of Work Related to the Event are in Bold
SELECTIVE DEMOLITION ESSENTIAL TO RECONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR
1. Remove existing roof trusses and structure at the rink, including wood columns and CMU infill
walls; existing transite roof shingles are Asbestos Containing Materials.
A portion of the adjacent roof assembly next to the collapsed area were affected by the
collapse of the adjacent bays; connections and framing in this were severed and later
cut away.
The collapse of the roof at the south end of the rink cannot be attributed to the
condition of the remaining roof trusses and supports.
1a. Remove existing roofing on flat support building areas.
Damage to the low rise locker room roof adjacent to the collapsed area is attributable
to the event.
2. Remove existing concrete rink bed and piping, and existing dasher board system around rink.
The existing ice bed has been directly exposed to the elements (it is currently on the
exterior of the building). Exposure damage has compromised the surface of the slab.
3. Remove existing rink refrigeration equipment and header piping, including exterior cooling
tower.
The cooling tower was operational at the time of the event. Sitting idle and exposed has
damaged the equipment and made it inoperable. A portion of this cost is attributable to
the event.
4. Remove existing HVAC system including hot water boiler, piping system, fan coil units, roof
mounted exhaust fans, and central dehumidifier.
The hydronic heating system was operational at the time of the event. The system was
not drained. Sitting idle and exposed to freezing temperatures has caused freeze
damage that was observed. The majority of this cost is attributable to the event.
5. Remove existing light fixtures, emergency lighting and exit signage throughout the building.
Replacement of equipment in the collapsed area and adjacent locker rooms is directly
attributable to the event. The unheated and exposed condition of the building has
caused damage to the equipment from moisture and freeze thaw cycles.

6. Remove existing plumbing – hot and cold water and waste piping – and domestic hot water
system.
The unheated and exposed condition of the building has caused damage to the piping
from freezing that is directly a result of the event. The system could not be drained
after the event.
A review with the State Plumbing Inspector after completion of the I&E report identified
the need to replace existing domestic water piping and hydronic piping. Visible
portions of the underslab piping, drains, and clean-outs were inspected and freeze
damage was observed. Testing of underground piping that is currently not visible is
required. Replacement of piping will require removal and replacement of existing walls
and finishes to perform the work.
7. Remove existing loose paint on all walls and exposed ceilings in low-rise areas north and east
of rink.
Damage of finishes is a result of exposure and the unheated condition of the building.
Additional partition removal will be required to expose concealed plumbing lines that
have been damaged by freezing.
8. Remove existing vinyl floor tiles and mastic from public rooms at the north low-rise area,
which are Asbestos Containing Materials
Areas in the west Locker rooms that have been subject to water damage after the
collapse are attributable to the event.
Damage to finishes is a result of exposure and the unheated condition of the building.

NEW CONSTRUCTION
1. Provide new structural steel roof framing and roof assembly, supported on existing
foundations.
Structure over collapsed rink and work in immediate adjacent bay are attributable to
the event.
2. Provide new reinforced CMU enclosure walls with translucent façade panels on existing
foundations.
Walls surrounding the collapsed rink are attributable to the event.
Damage and replacement of the north wall is attributable to the air pressure (air
displacement) caused by the event.
3. Provide new concrete rink bed and piping, and new dasher board system around rink.
One third of the dasherboard system was crushed and damaged at the collapsed area
and the slab below the collapsed area, subject to exterior exposure is attributable to
the event.
4. Provide new rink refrigeration system – either (3) Cimco chillers - or a hybrid gas-engine
driven chiller with secondary electric chiller - and a new open loop cooling tower and reservoir
tanks.
The refrigeration system was operational at the time of the event. Sitting idle and
exposed has damaged the system. A portion of this cost is attributable to the collapse.
The event has made the equipment inoperable.
5. Provide completely new HVAC system, including gas-fired boiler, pumps, piping and terminal
units; new exhaust systems for the locker rooms, toilet rooms and chiller room; a new central
dehumidifier and ductwork to serve the rink area; and new roof mounted exhaust fans with
ECM motors.
The hydronic heating system was operational at the time of the event. The system was
not drained. Sitting idle and exposed to freezing temperatures has caused freeze
damage. The majority of this cost is attributable to the event.
Ventilation and control work would not be attributable to the event.

6. Provide new light fixtures, emergency lighting and exit signage throughout the building.
Light fixtures, emergency lighting and exit signage in the collapsed area of the building
are attributable to the event.
The unheated and exposed condition of the building has caused damaged to this
equipment that is indirectly a result of the event.
15. Provide completely new plumbing system, including hot and cold water and waste piping, and
new domestic hot water system. At Women’s restroom, provide (2) new accessible toilets and
(1) new accessible lavatory.
The unheated and exposed condition of the building has caused damage to the piping
from freezing that is directly a result of the event. The system could not be drained
after the event.
A review with the State Plumbing Inspector after completion of the I&E report identified
the need to replace existing domestic water piping and hydronic piping. Visible
portions of the underslab piping, drains, and clean-outs were inspected and freeze
damage was observed. Testing of underground piping that is currently not visible is
required. Replacement of piping will require removal and replacement of existing walls
and finishes to perform the work.
16. Provide new LULA lift or handicapped-accessible elevator to access the north end rink
mezzanine.
This is not attributable to the event.
17. Repaint all walls and exposed ceilings in existing low-rise areas north and east of the rink.
Damage of finishes is a result of exposure and the unheated condition of the building.
Additional partition removal is required to expose concealed plumbing lines within the
walls and replace the piping, fittings, and equipment.
18. Provide new vinyl flooring in all public rooms at north low-rise area, and repaint existing floors
and base in locker rooms at east low-rise area.
Areas in the west locker rooms that have been subject to water damage from the
collapse are attributable to the event.
Damage of finishes is a result of exposure and the unheated condition of the building.

19. Provide new membrane roofing at the north and east low-rise parts of the building.
Damage to the low rise locker room roof adjacent to the collapsed area is attributable
to the event. Roofing on a third of the rink space is attributable to the event.
20. Provide new fire protection system, dry system in rink, wet system in support spaces; work
includes a new separate water service. This is a code compliance issue that is required and
triggered by the project scope.
This is not attributable to the event.
21. Provide new rink dasherboard system, netting, scoreboards, goals, etc.
A portion of this cost is attributable to the event. This is the 3rd of the rink equipment
below the collapsed roof. The scoreboard was mounted on the wall that collapsed.
22. Provide new aluminum decking with wood seats at existing bleacher framing.
A portion of this cost is attributable to the event. . This is the ¼ of the bleachers
located below the collapsed roof.
23. Provide new low-e ceiling system in the rink.
The low-e ceiling that was attached to the underside of the roof structure failed with the
collapse, the remainder of the low e-ceiling was removed to expose and inspect the
structure. Replacing the low ceiling over the entire rink area is attributable to the
event.
Notes:
Hazmat: All work associated with the hazardous material removal is not attributable to the event.
Accessibility: Maintaining the mezzanine would require the installation of a lift (LULA) or elevator; this
is not attributable to the event.
Fire Protection: Reconstruction of the rink requires an automatic fire protection system. The area of the
collapsed portion is attributable to the event; without the event, the system would not be required

Wednesday, August 1, 2018 in the Salah Meeting Room of Town Hall.
A. Approval of Agenda
Chairman Barker reviewed the items on the agenda which included funding a study to implement renovations or

C. New Business
Reserve Fund Transfer Request for Bolivar Pool Design Services - $200,000
Chairman Barker recognized Mark Porter of the Board of Selectmen. Mr. Porter thanked the members of the
Finance Committee for meeting in August.
Mr. Porter provided the following information regarding the Bolivar Pool project:
• As with any project that is presented before Town Meeting, the Town needs to be familiar with the cost of
the project in order for the voters to make reasonable decisions.
• He stated that typically it costs a lot of money to have a consultant determine how much a project will
cost.
• If funding for the study was not approved until the Annual Town Meeting in May of 2019, then it would be
2020 before the Town could fund the cost for the construction of the pool and it could be as late as the
fall of 2020 before construction could commence.
• The Recreation Commission determined that $340,000 would be needed for design services.
• The Board of Selectmen looked at various sources of funding which included Free Cash, the Assessors
Overlay, the Board of Selectmen’s mitigation funds and the Finance Committee Reserve Fund.
FINCOM 20180801 Minutes Page 1 of 5 10/15/18Source page 35
• The Board of Selectmen decided that it was wise to review with the Finance Committee first before
spending this amount of money.
• Chairman Barker was contacted by the BOS to discuss how best to proceed with the funding for this study.
• Mr. Porter stated that the Finance Director had indicated to him that the funding for this project may not
have to come from the FY19 Reserve Fund and that FY18 Reserve Fund was still available.
• The Board of Selectmen had approved the total amount of $340,000 out of their mitigation funds. Mr.
Porter did not think that it was a good idea to use mitigation funds to fund the entire study and that it
would be better to split the cost of this project by using some of the Reserve Fund.
• Mr. Porter stated that one way or another the project would be funded now to avoid an emergency
situation in 2019 or 2020.
Chairman Barker reminded members that this project had been before the Community Preservation Committee
and Annual Town Meeting but that the project had been withdrawn until a better understanding of the exact
scope of the project was determined. Mr. Porter stated that the Community Preservation Committee had been in
support of the project but realized that a more comprehensive study for a much larger project would be needed to
resolve the numerous problems with the Bolivar Pool.
Mr. McCourt provided the following information as well:
• The Recreation Commission along with the advice of the BRC determined that the Commission would ask
for a new liner and a new concrete pad to extend the life of the pool.
• After the feasibility study was completed the BRC recommended that this was not a good fix for the pool
and it would not be a guarantee for the longevity of the already 44-year old pool.
• The BRC’s recommendation to proceed with design services was too late to be addressed at the May 2018
Annual Town Meeting.
• With the total project cost to be projected at $4.5 to 5 million, the design services portion would cost
approximately $400,000 or 8% of total cost. The Owner’s Project Manager (OPM) cost would be
approximately $200,000 or 4% of the total project cost. An OPM is required by the state because the
project cost is expected to be greater than $1.5 million.
• The Recreation Commission has the support of the BRC on this project.
• The goal of the Commission is to have the design services completed in order to make a recommendation
for funding of the project at the 2019 Annual Town Meeting.
Chairman Barker opened up the discussion for questions and comments from the Finance Committee.
Ms. Saint André asked for clarification on the total cost of the design process.
• Mr. McCourt stated that the total design cost and to oversee the construction would be $625,000. This
would be included in the $4.6 million total cost of the project.
Mr. McKenna appreciated having a copy of the report in order to review the project prior to the meeting. He
stated that he came to two conclusions: either renovation or new construction. Mr. McCourt stated that the BRC
concluded that the best approach was new construction instead of repair. If the pool were relined there was no
guarantee as to the life of the liner. Infrastructure such as sewer lines and ADA accessibility were not up to code
due to the age of the pool. If new construction were done the estimated life would be 20-30 years.
Ms. Holcombe questioned as to how the cost of the design services was determined. Mr. McCourt stated that this
was broken down in the feasibility study and based on percentages of the total cost of the project. An RFQ
(Request for Qualifications) would go out to solicit design services. The OPM would represent the Town of Canton
to represent the Town’s interests during the project.
Mr. Mauro asked about the design phase and specifics of the project. Mr. McCourt stated that the feasibility study
addressed such issues as a zero entrance pool to eliminate the need for apparatus for handicapped accessibility.
The current kiddie pool would not be replaced. There would be no future need for a 14’ deep end because it is no
FINCOM 20180801 Minutes Page 2 of 5 10/15/18Source page 36
longer required given that there is no longer a diving board. Mr. McCourt addressed the reason for using the
existing location for the pool. There are already services to the property, the pool has served the community for
44 years at the current location, there is no other site being considered. Water, sewer and electric utilities are
already at the site. The cost for the site work for a new location would be astronomical.
Mr. Mauro asked if there was enough public input in the design process. Mr. McCarthy stated that an architect
with expertise in this area would be selected and that it could slow the project down if smaller groups of residents
had conflicting opinions or ideas on the design of the pool. Mr. McCourt is hoping to have drawings and plans
available for inspection prior to Annual Town Meeting. Mr. Porter stated that they would be willing to balance
small-group suggestions along with the suggestions of the designer.
Mr. Cole asked if the project cost included the paving of the existing parking lot. Mr. McCourt stated that it did
include site work but would not necessarily include asphalt. The BRC would have to work with the Conservation
Commission on the parking lot because it is currently located near wetlands and the lot is also considered an
earthen dam for the pond which could not have impervious surfaces.
Chairman Barker inquired as to what coordination would take place between Canton and the Blue Hills Regional
Vocational School.
Mr. McKenna inquired as to the funding for the pool. Mr. Murgia stated the following:
• Once the cost of the project is determined he hoped that discussion would take place with the
Community Preservation Committee.
• He suggested that this project could be funded through borrowing similar to the land purchase at the Paul
Revere Heritage Site.
• It would have to be determined if this project would qualify for Community Preservation funds so the
Town could borrow the money for the pool and have the CPA surcharge pay for the debt service.
• Mr. McCourt is optimistic that the Community Preservation Committee would be supportive of the
project and the method of funding.
• Mr. Murgia explained that because this would be a $5 million project if it is not funded through the
Community Preservation fund than it would typically be a debt exclusion override where the taxpayers
would have to approve the borrowing of the funds through a tax increase.
Mr. Cole inquired if the Bolivar Pool project was competing with the Metropolis Rink project. Mr. Murgia stated
that it could be in competition with the Rink but that the Town is working very hard with FEMA to obtain 75%
reimbursement for the Rink project. The 75% reimbursement combined with insurance proceeds received thus far
could avoid a debt exclusion override thus having the borrowing within the tax levy.
Mr. Arsondiadis inquired if the Town had enough debt capacity to cover the pool project. Mr. Porter explained
that the Rink could be funded within the levy (if the Town were to receive the FEMA reimbursement) but that the
Bolivar Pool would require an override if Community Preservation funds were not utilized.
There would be no state aid available to help with the funding for the pool project.
st
Ms. Saint André was amazed that as of August 1 the Town still had funds available from the FY18 Reserve Fund.
Mr. Murgia stated that the books had not been closed yet for FY18 and that there was $200,000 remaining in the
FY18 Reserve Fund and that there was $500,000 in the FY19 Reserve Fund. He advised that it is very early in fiscal
2019 to withdraw a substantial amount from the FY19 Reserve Fund. If the FY18 Reserve Fund were not used it
would fall out as free cash whereby the voters could then appropriate the funds at Town Meeting.
A motion made by Ms. Saint André to transfer $200,000 from the FY18 Reserve Fund to the Board of Selectmen
for the purpose of funding design services for the Bolivar Pool project was seconded by Ms. Holcombe.
Vote: 8-0-0. Mr. Barker thanked the BRC for their hard work on this project.
FINCOM 20180801 Minutes Page 3 of 5 10/15/18Source page 37
Metropolis Rink Update
Mr. Porter deferred to Mr. Aspinwall. Mr. Aspinwall provided the following information with regards to the Rink
project
• Town officials have been working diligently with DCR (Division of Conservation and Recreation), FEMA,
MEMA, Representative Galvin and Senator Timilty.
• The DCR (Division of Conservation and Recreation) has granted an extension of the Rink lease set to expire
in 2030. DCAMM (Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance) Commissioner Roy offered an
extension of the lease to another 20 years. If the project were finished in 2020 the Town would have
another 30 years to lease the Rink.
• If the Town were to get the replacements costs from 44% to 50% of the costs FEMA would reimburse the
Town 75% of the project. The insurance proceeds would be removed from the top of the cost of the
project and the 75% would be of the remaining amount of the project cost including code upgrades. The
Town would be responsible for 25%.
• The timing of the final determination made by FEMA was unknown at the time of the meeting.
• The Town would be seeking appropriations in December or January. A contract would need to be in place
by February 2019.
• The Town is reexamining their costs already reported to FEMA. The replacement of the structural beams
would help to get the Town at the 50% reimbursement amount.
D. Other Business/Open Issues
FY19 Cherry Sheet Final Numbers
Mr. Murgia referred the members to the meeting documents and provided a recap of the FY19 final Cherry Sheet
numbers to the Finance Committee:
• Because the state budget had finally been enacted the local aid amounts due to Canton were updated.
• The net state aid for FY19 is $7.5 million. The Town had budgeted $34,000 more than that. While this is
not great news the $7.5 million was about what the Town had expected.
• The two meeting documents with Estimated Receipts and Estimate Charges are what the Town receives
from the state and pays to the state.
• The Ch. 70 receipts of $6.1 million will most likely be what the Town will receive.
• Another fairly solid figure is the $2.2 of Unrestricted General Government Aid.
• The final cherry sheets are used in the fall to set the tax rate.
E. Approval of Minutes
A motion made by Mr. McKenna to approve the minutes for June 18, 2018 as written was seconded by
Mr. Cole. Vote: 6-0-2. Ms. Holcombe and Ms. Saint André abstained from the vote.
F. Next Meeting Date: The next meeting date would be determined in the near future. Chairman Barker
spoke about holding a session sometime in September with a PowerPoint overview of how the budget process
works and the various funds that feed into the process. He asked for interested parties to let him know.
Adjournment: A motion made by Ms. Saint André to adjourn the meeting at 7:55 p.m. was seconded by
Ms. Holcombe. Vote: 7-0-0
