Mr. Jones suggested staying with the original estimate of $2 <br /> million . <br /> **Ms. Ahlgren made a motion to present this information to <br /> the Selectmen with a recommendation that they put in a <br /> percent for a buffer above that cost. Ms . Mills seconded <br /> the motion. ** <br /> Discussion: <br /> Ms . Ahlgren does not know what the percentage should be . <br /> Bill Jones thinks it is the Selectmen 's responsibility to get the <br /> land and they should make the call . We will put the building on <br /> it. <br /> Mr . Greelish thinks it should be in the body of the motion that <br /> the Committee questions the validity of the estimate numbers. <br /> Mr. Dinizio stated the Committee will come up with one number for <br /> everything . Mr. Franceschi gave the figure of $27 . 7 million for <br /> project costs , based on the formula. Does the Committee want to <br /> recommend that to the Selectmen? <br /> Ms. Ahlgren does not think we can afford to do less . <br /> Ms. Mills agrees, and noted we don 't have to spend it all . <br /> Tom reminded the Committee that town . counsel said a survey of the <br /> • land is needed for the taking (acquiring) . Will that be covered <br /> in this figure or do we need to come up with a separate figure? <br /> Does each parcel have to be identified? <br /> Mr. Dinizio turned the chairmanship of the meeting to Mr. <br /> Greelish . <br /> ** Amended motion . Mr . Dinizio made a motion to present <br /> this information to the Selectmen with the recommendation <br /> the Executive Secretary, Selectmen, Town Planner, <br /> Assessor and Town Counsel determine the amount <br /> it will cost to go through the process of acquiring the <br /> site and then add an appropriate contingency in the event <br /> the taking or negotiations are higher than the assessed <br /> values and for the cost of a survey, if needed. Ms. <br /> Ahlgren seconded the motion. All members were in <br /> favor.** <br /> **Ms. Ahlgren made a motion to present to the Selectmen <br /> $27 . 7 million for project costs . Mr. Jones seconded the <br /> motion .** <br /> Discussion : <br /> Mr. Greelish stated the Marstons Mills school had a difficult <br /> time doing it this way, using the formula. <br /> We know construction costs are about $100 per sq , foot and <br /> • average cost to equip it is $20 per sq foot. It would be prudent <br /> to come up with a figure less then the $27 . 7 million that we can <br /> stand behind based upon more of a calculation . <br /> 3 <br />
