I move that the Town vote to approve Article 14 as printed in the Warrant, with the exception of the phrase “or take any other action relating thereto.” Motion passes at 7:33 PM Article 15 To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and transfer from the Community Preservation Fund 10% Affordable Housing Reserve in accordance with the provisions of M.G.L., Chapter 44B, §5, the sum of $168,084 for the purpose of funding the Homeyer Village Roof Replacement Project, including necessary costs and expenses related thereto, as recommended by the Community Preservation Committee, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Community Preservation Committee Explanation: The goal of this project is to preserve affordable housing for the senior population residing at the Frank J. Homeyer Village. A new roof is required to preserve and maintain the integrity of the facility. The asphalt roof shingles and other system components are original to the 1990 building. Conditions include worn, brittle, curling and missing roof shingles. CPA funding at the state-aided senior development would leverage Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) funding as well as High Leverage Asset Preservation (HILAP) grant funds for additional capital repairs. The Community Preservation Committee recommends approval of Article 15 by a vote of 9-0. The Board of Selectmen recommends approval of Article 15 by a vote of 5-0 The Finance Committee recommends approval of Article 15 by a vote of 7-0 Motion Made by Selectman Sherman; I move that the Town vote to approve Article 15 as printed in the Warrant, with the exception of the phrase “or take any other action relating thereto.” Motion passes unanimously at 7:34 PM Article 16 To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and transfer from the Community Preservation Fund 10% Affordable Housing Reserve in accordance with the provisions of M.G.L., Chapter 44B, §5, the sum of $264,893 for the purpose of funding the Breezy Way Roofs, Siding & Windows Project, including necessary costs and expenses related thereto, as recommended by the Community Preservation Committee, or take any other action relating thereto.
