Presentation Gibson — Reviewed in detail the FY2015 Capital Requests, which includes a new fire
department building. Explained what the Tier rating meant: Tier 1 critical, Tier 2 necessary,
Tier 3 can wait.
Discussion First Way: Right of Way Committee had recommended improvements for pedestrian safety.
DPW has widened the road and cut back brush. There are varying opinions as to whether or
not paving is necessary. The Superintendent of Schools recommends waiting on any
additional work pending decisions in regards to expansion of school facilities.
Street light Repairs: There is a need to have inventory on hand. The long -tern plan might be
to transition to LEDs and replace poles and fixtures to cut down on maintenance. Consensus
is that "upgrade" is a better term than "repairs" for what needs to happen with the street lights.
Schools: The schools have design money for the expansion design but are not yet ready to put
forward a construction proposal. Mr. Cozort will go over those capital projects when he does
the school presentation.

Discussion TOWN ADMINISTRATIONBOS
continued Baxter Road acquisitions: Would involve takings for alternate access in the event Baxter
Road fails. This is being actively worked on so that should the road fail this winter, a plan is
in place.
Surfside Area Roads acquisitions: This would further the effort to acquire several of the
roads including: Boulevarde, Monohansett Road, Okorwaw Avenue, and portions of Lovers
Lane.
Town Pier parking renovationtreconfiguration: ReMain did a concept to reconfigure the
lot which could add 10 and 30 additional spaces; this comes from discussions with their
surveyor. The Town Pier was constructed with federal funds which required a permanent
restriction be put in place to set aside parking for people who use the pier. A study needs to be
done that covers the entire summer to establish how many reserved spots are actually used
and necessary. The $250,000 is a preliminary number for construction but it is not a final
number.
Stambaugh asked about 20 South Water: Gibson explained that will probably be in 2016; a
space -needs plan has to be put together.
Hulbert Avenue Ways acquisition: One or more ways leading to the water are blocked off at
the end. Over time residents have encroached or land - courted the land and there would have
to be a taking. Andrew Vorce has more information.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Sewers: Construction of sewer extensions to Shimmo and Monomoy are on hold until the
C WMP update is complete. Borrowing authority for the extension to Shimmo has been
rescinded. Tiffany wants to see the impact upgrades and expansion would have on sewer
rates. The Sewer Work Group is charged with providing recommendations for financing
options.
Solid Waste: The Town is still in discussions with Waste Option and the consultant as to
whether or not the construction of additional lines cells is an expense for FY2015 or FY2016.
Capping of the cells will not happen in FY20IS. The $8.2M is a floating number but not for
FY2015.
FIRE
New Fire Station construction: The possible off -set from sale of the land for the
construction of a new fire station could be about $5M, possibly. Fire Chief Mark McDougal
has procured a timing- response study to be discussed by the Board of Selectmen at its October
16t' meeting. There is a design for the new station being added to the Public Safety building
but there are no engineering plans. Some committee members want the new fire station to be
more utilitarian and for shared -use to be maximized. Tiffany stated that good planning is to
build a building for 5 years and make it expandable.
Stambaugh: Suggested a prioritization method that spreads the big- ticket items out over the
next 10 or so years so that they don't all hit at once.
Motion None
