Verizon New England, Plan #875, Dale Street, place approximately 700 feet of underground conduit. OLD BUSINESS: New Police Station At their last meeting the Board requested the Police Building Committee do additional work to reduce the overall cost of the proposed new police station. The committee trimmed the cost of the station by $1.7 million by cutting $265,000 in construction cost; $141,000 on communications equipment, computers and furniture; $70,000 in savings of moving expenses and miscellaneous items; and $135,000 by changing the material planned for part of the building's exterior. The bulk of the savings calculated into the new estimate comes from the sale of the old police station and adjacent land. The town estimates realizing $900,000 on that real estate, and selectmen suggested the town may be willing to change the zoning of that parcel. This brought the new figure to $7.3 million. Voters at Town Meeting will be asked to appropriate $8.2 million for the project until the current police station is sold. The Town Manager said that if the Board of Selectmen decide to go forward with this proposal, the Board must vote tonight to schedule a Special Town Meeting on February 7, 2005, open the warrant, and include the two articles, and close the warrant. Selectmen discussed whether a special town meeting in February had to be held or if the matter could hold until the Annual Town Meeting in May. By holding a Special Town Meeting first, voters have the chance to have all their questions answered including the amount of the override and then head to the polls informed on March 29, 2005. Voters would be voting for a Proposition 2 'h override to fund the new Police Station. Board of Selectmen Minutes December 20, 2004 14 Selectmen Donald Stewart said many would see $2,500 as wasteful and the Special Town Meeting would only attract those specifically invested in the police station. Stewart predicted the override would fail. Wendy Wakeman made a MOTION, seconded by Mark Caggiano, to hold a Special Town Meeting on February 7, 2005. Vote 4-1. Donald Stewart opposed. Wendy Wakeman made a MOTION, seconded by Mark Caggiano, to open the Warrant. Vote approved 5-0. Wendy Wakeman made a MOTION, seconded by Mark Caggiano, to place Article 1A on the Warrant as outlined by Palmer& Dodge LLP, in memo of December 15, 2004, placing in the blanks $8.2 million dollars. Vote approved 5-0. Article is as follows: To see if the Town will raise and appropriate $8.2 million for constructing, originally equipping, and furnishing a new police station, including any necessary additional architectural services, construction management services, demolition and site improvements and to meet this appropriation the Treasurer, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, is authorized to borrow$8.2 million under Chapter 44 of the General Laws, provided, however, that no expenditure shall be made, and no debt may be incurred, unless the town has voted at an election to exempt the principal and interest costs from the provisions of Proposition 2 %, so called, and furthermore, should the Town sell all or part of the land and buildings where the current police station is located, that the proceeds from that sale be used to defray the debt service of the new police station and that this appropriation be expended under the direction of the Town Manager who shall be authorized to take any other action necessary to carry out this project or take any other action relative thereto.
