TH RAC
Members of the THRAC committee presented information in response to questions
posed by Capital Budget Committee members including but not limited to available
grants, the amount of meeting space, the amount of storage space, the assessment of
the composition of current stored items and what process would be implemented to
reduce and converts these items to digital or other permanent storage solutions, the
potential use of green building technologies (like geothermal) and the protocols
necessary to pursue green building funding opportunities. This session was primarily to
provide information that the Capital Budget Committee members could use in their
overall assessment of the project.
Sandy Beach Association
Kari O'Donnel and members of the Sandy Beach Association presented the project
plans for a new facility to house and manage Sandy Beach operations, provide
bathroom and changing facilities to patrons and food service operations, as well as
storage. The current structure is 45 years old and in addition to it being antiquated it
has electrical and plumbing issues. The Association ran a successful capital campaign
that raised $250,000, and subsequently the CPC agreed to provide funds that brings the
total committed funding to $500,000. A local firm donated the architectural plans and
four bids are being sourced from local builders. To date a written bid of $440,000 and a
verbal bid of $430,000 have been received. A portion of annual beach fees will
continue to be utilized to fund ongoing maintenance of the new facility. Capital
Budget had no objections and recommended support of the project.
10-year Capital Budget Plan
The committee is waiting to receive an updated 10-year plan from the Town Manager,
however, the Capital Improvement Plan Funding Request Forms needed to complete
the plan remain outstanding from most town departments.
A time for the next meeting was not established. There being no further business we
voted to adjourn at 10:04pm.
