The swim center came before the committee to present their plans for an $800,000
improvement project anticipated to take place over a period of 3-years. They will be
pursuing a few sources of funding, including CPC monies, funds raised via a capital
campaign and a grant from the South Shore Playhouse.
Phase 1$500,000 - 2019
Upgrades to pool house infrastructure, all windows and doors, changes to the locker
rooms and check in station, as well as improvements to the plumbing and electrical
systems. The Diving Base and Board will also be replaces and ADA lifts will be added to
the pool deck to afford patrons easy access to pool. Finally, sprinkler features will be
installed in the baby pool area.
Phase 11 - $200,000 - 2020
Upgrades to pool filtration system including an automated chemical control system to
regulate pH and chlorine content. Addition of an ultraviolet water treatment system to
disinfect the water prior to it entering the filtration system, which reduces the amount of
pool chemicals that need to be added to the water. This phase will also include repairs
to the stainless steel gutter around the lap pool.
Phase III - $100,000 - 2021
Introduce a natural gas pool water heating system that will extend the swim season. This
system will require that a gas line be brought into the building. Additional improvements
in this phase include enhancing the lobby based snack shack for food and beverages.
Sidewalk Plow ($110,000), Michelle and Jason
The town has an opportunity to purchase a Trackless Sidewalk Plow with attachment
(sidearm mower, ribbon blower, v-plow and a sweeper) from the Town of Hull at a
discounted price of $110,000. Hull purchased this unit but is unable to use it effectively on
their narrow sidewalks. Discussion of other sidewalk plow alternatives ensued. Members of
the committee had more questions to vet and decided to postpone voting until Annual
Town Meeting (ATM).
Wide Lawn mower($63,000), Jason
Previously presented to the committee, Jason clarified some outstanding questions with
regard to need for zero turn radius and the appropriate length of cutting decks. The DPW
has selected a Toro 4100 series mower.
A motion was made to move $63,000 for a Toro 4100 Series Wide Lawnmower, which was
seconded and voted 3-0 in favor of the acquisition.

To be funded under Green Communities so no longer a stabilization fund item. Jason
mentioned that addition analysis is being done to determine the proper sizing and
configuration for the solution.

There is $700K in retained earnings. The cost of the roof is estimated between $200-$250K
and the truck $50K.
A motion was made to move $300,000 for a new roof and the acquisition of the truck, which
was seconded and voted 3-0 in favor of the acquisition.
Public Safety Building Roof Repair, Jason
5 bids have been received for the roof repair at the public safety building, with a few being
under $20K, so no revote was needed on this item.
