There are six tennis courts and two full- size basketball courts existing at the school. The courts are original to the school's construction in 1996 and they are in dice need of reconstruction. Ms. Laurent indicated the tennis and basketball courts have failed. In normal process,the project has been included in the Town's Capital Improvement Program (CIP)budget. Due to capital budgetary constraints the project was identified for funding through Community Preservation Act funds. Ms. Laurent indicated she has discussed this project proposal with Town Counsel. The project is intended to be replaced in its entirety and therefore identified as a permissible project under the guidelines of Community Preservation Act funding. With funding authorization the project would commence in October weather permitting. Unfavorable weather conditions would delay the project to the summer of 2017 as tennis is considered a spring sport. Some of the work is anticipated to be completed at no additional cost to the Town by the DPW. Contracted services would complete the remainder of the work.
