COMMENTS1. PUBLIC
1. Dave Fronzuto, 20 Surfside Road — Had calls about the school committee expanding their campus and
"< �Iy wife and I own a couple of those properties. We've been approached by the
closing First \\ :<
school about the 1Purchase of our properties. The comment was a recommendation to put money aside to
purchase the land. Wants to know where that stands and what the process would be.
Welch — This firs into a request we have so would like to proceed with the agenda. There are three
different project requests from the Schools that relate to this; they are being confused by people: first is
acquisition of 'and, second is the renovation and expansion of the administration offices; third is an
athletic master pian.
Lowell — Pointed our -hat Diane O'Neil floated a plan to have a pot of money available, so the Schools
would have an option of first refusal should the properties come up for sale.

the bike and pedestrian path improvements along Old South Road from the Rotan- to Amelia

enables rhe "Down to receive grant money. If we withhold recommendation for Fairgrounds Road,

was for each area.

for the development of a plan.
Hussev — Last meeting, we questioned if this project could be delivered. Asked if we're satisfied

lot are incorporated in parking improvements and remove 37 Washington as a building.
Recommends that with the survev that includes the building footprint making it part of the
parking lot if one day the building disappears.

path buffed up from the Old South Road bus stop to Newtown Road bus stop the south side.

Hussev Asked about the status of the National Grid L8 Project; if we are going ahead with the
sc«-cr part of that.
Welch —This is a recommendation to authorize funding with no expenditure unless the project
happens. Separate from that is the need to identify sewer replacement work in that area, which we
will be doing; through the CMOM. If that were to change not to be contingent upon the L8,
asked if we should pre -authorize the work the same as if National Grid were still contributing.
McEaehern — Our recommendation was to fund 1000/0.
Lowell "phis is an authorization to borrow, not the borrowing.
Welch — V e've considered them separate, but this allows us to proceed either way. We've
addressed the changes and the report modifications. He will get the report out to the Select board
for inclusion in their packet.
