ARTICLE 3
Recommend Favorable Action on Article 3
MOTION moved by Mr. Barrett to recommend Favorable Action on Article 3 seconded by Mr. Gallivan Mr. Salvatore the way the board voted previously. Do we have any idea how much each of the turf fields cost? Mr. Johnson no we do not. Mr. Gallivan I know we can’t respond to cliff, I am comfortable with the cash; I like the way it is going to go. There is a group that is forming to do fundraising for things that were taken out, focusing on the buildings such as a snack shack and handicap accessible playground. I do like the project. Mr. Barrett the police station re-appropriation of $100,000 so there will be $241,000 left in the police funds, I think we should look at some of Cliffs ideas. I would support Cliff in the need for those. Mr. Salvatore the $300,000 in the police fund that was borrowed and set aside. Mr. Johnson stated yes that is what is left. We borrowed the full amount. It is $341,309, and the project is pretty much done. We have to spend the money. I didn’t want to spend all the money I wanted to leave a buffer. Mr. Salvatore in my discussion I believe this project is extravagant, I think asking tax payers to fund this project with a potential for a new middle school is extreme. Put this money in a place when the override comes for the middle school we have put money aside. Interested in supporting one turf field that would have provided two football fields and baseball fields. Mrs. Mackenzie many years ago we started with a lot of needs. I think we have done a great job taking care of Public Safety, schools, People playing on the fields, we did scale back an took away the things that could be fundraised, the work Ben and Mark have done with fundraising. It speaks volumes for the town. I am excited to see this go forward
