The meeting began with Peter explaining the operating
procedures for all committees. He also explained some of the
history regarding past efforts to remodel and renovate the Police
Station. Lt. Silva continued with an update of the Feasibility
Review Committee, in it's efforts to develop a short list for
Peter. Lt. Silva explained that there is an "unofficial building
committee" made up of officers from the RPD who will act as a
sounding board for our "official committee". Mr. Hoxie suggested
that we draw a floor plan so that we can visualize the size and
configuration of the present site. Mr. Hoxie also suggested we
consider a secure and protective area for officers to prepare
equipment to respond to major disasters. Bill Bogaert questioned
the acceptance by neighbors of a large facility on the present
site. Jim Cormier and Lauretta Raffi asked if a new building was
part of the plans. Stephen Blewitt commented that a lot of work had
to be done to gather support for this project.

from a.tour of the police facility. Our next meeting was scheduled
for April 18, 1995. Spoke to Trudy Wells and she will post it.
