3. RECALC response to COA letter
John Sasso: The response since to be somewhat generic not the details we were looking for.
Fidel reached out to state agency to come to forum for November 1n to answer ADA or
access for seniors.
John O'Neill: The initial design is a high-level version, not a final design.
Marilyn Shapleigh: We just don't have enough information.
Parking situation should be added to cost of any building.
John Sasso: reiterated the charge of ReCALC, to pull information together and make
recommendations. Not to select a permanent site. We will continue support the evaluation
for the Walgreen site.
John O'Neill: Looking forward to the UMASS study
Michael Coltman: Walgreen's can accomplish a lot of things for Senior Center. The current
estimates presented for all the proposed potential sites during the Select Board meeting
10/11/22 are most likely accurate. Town of Lexington style center is not in the cards for
Reading.
4. Updates on presentation for Select Board on October 25, 2022
John Sasso: Presented the proposed slides for the Select Board on October 25, 2022
Received some feedback, obtained updates statistics and facts to be included.
Jean Delios: Would like to see Pre -pandemic trending in the slides.
ARPA funding is helping with additional programming, (day trips, using the library etc)
A 4-1 decision to remove the PSC statistics slide from the presentation since there hasn't
been enough analysis completed by the committee.
Excellent work by John Sasso and Ron Assini on the draft presentation.
Next Steps. John Sasso to send out a PDF version to Jenna to send out to the committee for
comments, feedback and change requests.
5. Communications Update from John Sasso
Updated newsletters are pending, based on ongoing work.
