_______________________________________________________________
Sitting in for Andy Mooradian, who was unable to attend, Irma Lauter called the meeting to order at 6:35pm in the Town Hall Building.
Andy Mooradian was nominated and elected for another term as Chairman of the Committee.
The Draft of the Meeting Minutes from September 12, 2006 was reviewed and approved.
Greg Hall, Chairman of the Board of Assessors, and Lane Partridge, Town Appraiser, presented an update on the Geographic Information System (GIS) project and their capital requirements for FY2008.
GIS Project Update
• $30,250 previously allocated will cover March, 2007 fly-over and subsequent process imaging
• Total Phase II cost for the GIS project is estimated to be $120K, so $90K remains to be expended
Light Plant will contribute $10K, so $80K is needed to complete Phase II
FY2008 Capital Requirements
• $20,000 for GIS building capture for GIS Layer #2
Aquarion and/or KeySpan were potential contributors of $10,000, but this funding input now appears unlikely
• $10,000 for GIS contour development
Total contour development is estimated to cost $60K, but this price is not locked in contractually
Jerry Seelen updated the Committee regarding the Central Fire Station project. The new low bid for the work is $1,539,082 higher than the ~$4.9M approved at the 2005 Annual Town Meeting.
A Special Town Meeting will be held on December 11, 2006, since the bid is only binding for 30 days from submittal. A decision was taken to postpone any vote on the project until the next Committee meeting on December 4, 2006.
Ted Alexiades provided a summary of the salient departmental items that he felt the Committee would be addressing to prepare the FY2008 Capital Outlays for Warrant Article 6.
The meeting adjourned at 8:12pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Jonathan Asher
Secretary
