The committee unanimously approved the minutes of 02/09/04 as corrected. CONSTRUCTION BILL. Iry Goldberg reported receipt of a construction bill in the amount of$51,210, covering the beginning of site work and construction to date. The total amount of the bill was $53,902, with a 5%withholding amount of$2,695.10 deducted. After reviewing the bill,the committee moved and seconded a motion to approve payment of the bill. The motion was unanimously passed. The committee agreed that, going forward, meetings would be held the first and third Monday of each month. Since the construction bills are issued the end of the third week of the month, there will be ample time for all parties involved to review the bills before the committee's meeting on the first Monday of the following month. Site Meetings. Iry reported that Irv, Jim Long, Joyce Mason, Bob Clark and Ernie Virgilio are attending the site meetings, conducted by JCA. Because the trailer at the site is rather small, with steps that are not too sturdy, it was agreed that the committee meetings would continue to be held at Town Hall for the time being. Location of Electrical Input. The location of both temporary and permanent electrical input is still unresolved. There is a meeting with NSTAR scheduled for tomorrow at the site. Site Sign. Joyce Mason reported that the request for a second Senior Center sign to be placed at Rt. 151 was denied. The reasoning was that it would be unwise during the construction period to direct visitors back to the site, with heavy construction equiipment in use. The suggestion to place a thermometer at the Mashpee Rotary is under consideration. Abutters Report. Bruce Taggart stated that Abutters are no longer able to cut through the site area to get to Mashpee Commons. He reported that there is a non-English speaking Italian family currently living in the area having a difficult time, with no means of transportation back and forth for shopping needs. Jim Long agreed to investigate the situation, and will get more information on the family from Bruce. 1
