sidewalks and it falls under DPW and Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS).
Hussey — Asked if the cost for Our Island Home (OIH) includes moving its location or staying
where it is.
Turbitt — It authorizes funding for design and construction, not location; that will be determined
through the design process.

Documents' General Fund Town Capital Projects spreadsheet
Discussion Turbitt — Reviewed the revenue and expenses status of on -going capital projects, listed by
project and department. Reviewed the status of on -going projects funded by debt override.

Company, NMA, Sewer, OIH, and Solid Waste. Typically he gets together with every
department on a quarterly basis to reassess the status of projects.
Welch — Asked Electronic Data Management and security are town or department.
Turbitt — They are both town wide.

Turbitt — The first was project was for repair under winter storm Juno, which brought it back to
the state it was before damage by that storm. The second project is for ongoing maintenance.

quickly.

in regards to the school.

Turbitt — He will talk to Bob Gardner of Wannacomet Water Company and get the information
to the committee members.
Welch — Airport rescue /fire support vehicle, there's about $720,000 cash available; he thinks it

portion and /or Finance Committee recommendation and /or Enterprise Fund recommendation.
The Sewer Treatment Plant modification, asked what the capacity of the plant is relative to
adding the new Madaket sewer.
Buzanoski — The current capacity is 3.5 million; the project will increase its capacity to 4 million.

Kelly — The point about the workgroups, there are two kinds of workgroups, internal and Board
of Selectmen (BOS), with different charges. Explained how the BOS charges its workgroup.
Welch — He would like to get a better handle, using the sewer as an example, on how that's rolled
out and where and when this committee is involved and for the committee to establish protocols
that better assist in making decisions.
Kickham — Asked what the balance for Affordable Housing Trust is and if the balance is
managed annually.
Kelly — It's $1.2 m
Turbitt — Some money came from sale of a lot, some is allocated; the Affordable Housing Trust
manages its money. There is not an annual appropriation.
