A Meeting of the Board of Public Works, October 28, 1985 Page 1
A meeting of the Board of Public Works convened in Room 16, Municipal
Building at 7;30 P.M. Present were Chairman Barker, Secretary Hampson,
Board Members Griffin and Boucher, Superintendent A.V. Fletcher, P.E. and
Assistant Superintendent William A. Redford.
Under the Superintendent's Report;
Superintendent Fletcher stated we have been working on the FY87
Budget. As far as we are concerned, there won't be any encumbered
accounts after next June. I predict that we will be totally out of
encumbered funding by the first of June.
Regarding the burning of the limbs, etc. from the hurricane at the
landfill, we have been ordered by the State to stop. We will have to chip
this and send it to Resco.
Mr. Boucher asked can the wood be used for mulch anywhere?
Mr. Fletcher replied yes, we could chip it and leave it on the site.
Regarding November Town Meeting preparation, Chairman Barker suggested
the following members make the presentations;
Article IS - Mr. Hampson
Article 16 - Mr. Barker
Article 17 - Mr. Boucher
Article 18 - Mr. Hampson

backup stories for the Board, and supply the By-Law Committee with five
copies of the motions for their October 31 meeting.
Under the New Facility Discussion, Chairman Barker requested two
presentations;

Mr. Griffin stated we should advise the Task Force that we have
considered as a base price the $2,000,000 option and find that in order to
get there, there would be a serious operations deficiency cutting area
rather than design. The value of the pre-engineered buildings was based
on what would appear to be the average cost based on square footage area
and could be further verified through most catalogs.
Chairman Barker stated I would envision this to be three to five
separately constructed buildings set on pads. I would then put in a
series of qualifiers. These figures would not include the utilities and
site preparations necessary.
Mr. Griffin stated I think the type of discussion that has gone on
here tonight should be presented to the Task Force in answer to their
questions.
The Board next reviewed the Biggio Property Site Plan and made
revisions for presentation to the Task Force.
The Board next reviewed the FY Budget. Chairman Barker asked the
Board Members if they want to provide direction to the Department to bring
the budget down to an overall 5% increase.
Mr. Griffin stated my feeling is that we should go through the first
round with our ears open. I would like to see where we sit this year as
last year we were only given 1.6%. Perhaps this year the message will be
different.
Mr. Hampson stated I agree with Bob, the Enterprise System helped out
a number of other Department budgets last year.
The Board signed the Payroll and the Billroll for the period ending
October 25, 1985.
The meeting adjourned at 8:32 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted,
