• Ms. Saint Andre stated that she attended a community meeting in which it was discussed that this study
covered only the Washington Street/Randolph Street intersection and that some residents at the meeting
were concerned that the study did not include the Washington Street corridor that included the
i ntersections of Pleasant Street, Dedham Street and Chapman Street. Ms. Saint Andre stated further
stated that she was not in favor of the Town spending funding on this project without a more
comprehensive study being done.
• Mr. Emhardt stated that this study had been done within the bounds of the grant.

• The CPC supported this request 5-0-0, however, they had reservations about two buses being replaced at
the same time instead of staggering the purchases over a few years. Purchasing two buses at the same
time could mean that they would need replacement at the same time in the future.

condition. The Town is required to remedy the situation.

m ake repairs to abutments and installation of rip rap.

M r. Emhardt discussed a few of the cash capital municipal requests as follows:

M r. Emhardt explained a few of the department's capital requests that were not supported as follows:
• Parks &Recreation Request —Carpeting for the Armando Recreation Center - $7,000 —This capital
request was not supported because there were other requests that were of a higher priority. The carpet
request was a low priority.

request was removed because it could be eligible for CPA funding.
• Ms. Thomas questioned as to why the Parks &Recreation's requests for a Dump Truck ($76,000), a
Grounds keeping Trailer ($8,000), a Utility Vehicle ($25,000) and a Zero Turn Mower ($17,000) were not
a pproved, given that these items were being requested for the upkeep of the Paul Revere Heritage Site.
M r. Emhardt stated that the Town has not taken possession of the property yet and that for now $50,000
was being requested in the Parks &Recreation FY19 operating budget to hire an outside vendor for the
maintenance of the property.
• Fire Department —Office Furniture - $30,000 —This request was not supported and was a low priority on
the Fire Chief's list of capital requests. The Fire Chief was able to acquire furniture from the Town of
Sharon.
M r. Emhardt stated that they supported the Manager of Information Systems cash capital request for $160,000
for a Storage &Backup Appliance as this would help to increase storage capacity, decrease space and decrease
cooling.

regarding the number of classrooms, bathroom facilities, the square footage, connectivity to the main

necessary capital requests, the lack of information as to the number of classrooms and the temporary
nature of the project versus a more permanent solution.

CPC that the project could take 5-7 years to build a more permanent brick and mortar building, when
their larger scale plans for the district were to take S-7 years.

• Chairman Barker commented that the School Committee had reported at a Finance Committee last fall
that the School Committee was not anticipating any great influx of students
• Ms. Saint Andre stated that she was in support of a more permanent solution.
• Mr. Emhardt stated that the ideal solution would be to purchase modulars for the fall of 2019 and move
forward with a permanent solution in place for the future. The purchase of the modulars would be at
least a solution for the next eight years.

Ms. Saint Andre stated that without a comprehensive review of the Washington Street corridor including intersections at Dedham Street, Pleasant Street and Randolph Street the $69,000 for only the Randolph Street intersection would be a waste of money. A motion made by Mr. McKenna to recommend that $200,000 be appropriated from Free Cash for sidewalk replacement was seconded by Ms. Thomas. These sidewalks were in the Patriots/Lexington Street area. Ms. Saint Andre, speaking as a resident living on one of the streets that would be having its sidewalk replaced, stated that she was very concerned that the Town had not notified abutters of the work that would be done on these sidewalks. She had not received any notification of the work. Mr. Emhardt stated that the Town had received a complaint from a resident in the area and that they have a young person living in the area with a disability that requires these sidewalks be made ADA compliant. The Town would be doing this sidewalk replacement project to avoid any additional costs due to legal repercussions. Vote: 5-0-0. Ms. Saint Andre, rejoined the meeting.

Addition
was seconded by Mr. Barker.
M r. Murgia explained that the ATM 2015 had authorized $4.1 million for the Hansen School addition and that the
project came in under budget by approximately $500,000 with the Town having to borrow only $3,602,612 for the
project. The amount to be rescinded would be $497,388.
Ms. Saint Andre brought to the attention of the Committee that the Hansen addition for eight permanent
classrooms cost $3.6 million as compared to the $2,000,000 that the School Committee was requesting for four
temporary classrooms. Mr. Murgia confirmed that the Town did not receive any MSBA (Massachusetts School
Building Authority) funding for the Hansen project because under the funding formula the Town lacked the
number of students in order to qualify for the MSBA funds. There would be no MSBA funding for the modulars
