Consensus was that the Committee should go through lists of requests submitted to the Committee; prioritize the requests; and for those that fall under the DPW/Town Manager area o responsibility refer those requests to Town Manager to be handled. Discussion Highlights of topics briefly discussed; The Committee had lists of some of the maintenance work that needs to be done at the Police Station, Town Hall,DPW, and the Schools. Ken will ask Joyce to follow-up with the outstanding departments and ask them to get their maintenance needs to this Committee within the next week. In the me ntirn , the Committee will do a walk-through at Police Headquarters to see the condition of that site. Then at the next meeting the Committee will review all lists and prioritize order in which needs should be addressed, as well as reviewing budgets to deterrmine which maintenance sterns are covered in the budget. When needs are prioritized, Joe Krait may be abl to bring in crew to do the work which would be cost-effective. Town needs a good maintenance p 1 an to be in place. In future, whenever building projects are undertaken,be certain planning includes staff support that will be-needed for the new facility. This 1s critical. No sense fin building larger, improved fae)lity If Town doesn't have ample staff to keep it running. In building municipal building, determine whether or not generator needed. Suggestion made by one of the members that maybe this Committee could took at the High School and see if pert ap s there is a way to organize to separate age groups bett err.
