Community Preservation Committee Minutes December 8, 2022 Catherine Laurent,Director of Public Works/MashpeeMSchool Delartment wfuashnet School _..—..............ww_.._w._._._ ... _ ...m. ..._. ..kw. _.._— Playgtgyp, Improvements Phase II:,(continued) In discussing this project there was comment regarding the school expenditure that should be funded within the capital and school budgets. Splitting the courts between the entities was also considered. In support of this expenditure,it was noted that Mashpee is unique. The Department of Public Works maintains all buildings and grounds. The educational budget of the school department does not include the care and maintenance of any buildings and grounds. In the Capital Improvement Process (CIP),the DPW presents a project to the Planning& Construction Committee,and recommendations are aligned in the CIP program. The capital budget is limited in funding, and there is a prioritization process. Projects such as this may fall within alignment, but are often not prioritized due to funding constraints. It was agreed that a subcommittee would be formed to meet with a subcommittee of the CIP to review their 10-year plan. There is concern with respect to community access with funded CPA projects. Being no further comment, the CPC took the following action; Motion made by Mr. Hyde to approve and recommend to the May 2023 Special Town Meeting,the Quashnet School Playground Improvement project—Phase H in the amount of$378,080. Funding shall derive from the Budget for Appropriation Reserve. Motion seconded by Ms.Waygan. VOTE: Unanimous. 7-0.
