Chairman Bonetti called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Cohasset Swim Club-Representative for the Swim Center-Scott Terrio-62 Aberdeen Drive, Scituate
discussed the proposal with the Committee. He discussed how valuable the pool is to the community.
The equipment needs major renovations and they have ADA compliance issues. They discussed the 3
phases of the proposed project. Phase#1 is for the construction of the building (plumbing, shower
stalls, basement renovation, electrical and replacing the diving board). They are planning to start in May
and have some funds to begin. Phase#2 is equipment for the pool. The filtration system needs to be
replaced. The new system will help save water and keep the integrity of the water. They will be adding
an automated chemical control system. They also need stainless steel gutters. Phase#3 is a facelift and
ADA compliance lifts and natural gas heating system to help them have a longer season.
Kari O'Donnell asked why they aren't doing the ADA Lifts in the first phase. Mr.Terrio said they are
taking a disciplined approach by doing it in phases. After a brief discussion, he agreed that it would
beneficial to add the ADA lifts to the first phase. Mr.Terrio stated they have filed for the building
permit, had discussions with the Board of Health,the Building Inspector and the Water Department.
The members discussed the proposed funding, which would be a 50/50 split between CPC and the Swim
Center. Mr.Terrio added there will not be any increases in fees.
Chairman Bonetti asked if they have investigated any grants for the ADA compliance. Mr.Terrio said
they have not. Chairman Bonetti asked if they added any contingency for the cost estimates. Tom
Reardon added that they may want to do that since projects do run over. It is better to ask for more
initially then have to come back and ask for more. After further discussion,the Swim Club will come
back with a reworked budget on January 28, 2019.
Historical Commission-Restoration of Oil Shed at Government Island-Member of Historical Commission
Jackie Dormitzer-111 Atlantic Avenue discussed the request. They plan to restore the brick oil house
which has deteriorated over the years. They would like to replace the brick, repair and resurface. The
floor is sinking and needs to be taken up, leveled and redone. They are asking for$17,400 which is an
estimate from West Mill Restoration. They are contributing$1000 of the total project of$18,400. It is
not a complicated project, but they would like to have it done before the 2501h Anniversary Celebration.
Chairman Bonetti advised Mrs. Dormitzer that it is town owned property and they would need the Town
