aul said he just spoke with Tom Cahir . He is not sure the legislature will <br /> ct on that this budgetary cycle . He is also having a real problem trying <br /> o get 75% reimbursement for Mashpee . He does not think Mashpee will get <br /> ny relief on the reimbursement per sq foot. Paul has a letter from the <br /> tate saying they have accepted the project, dated Nov 30 , 1994. That date <br /> ocks the project into a reimbursement rate. <br /> eter said in politics nothing is locked in . If the State raised it to <br /> 163 per sq foot in the next month or so, and Mashpee is allowed that rate <br /> t would bring the budget up by $2 million . The town is only responsible <br /> or 42 % of it. The Committee could ask that from town meeting . <br /> eter said it seems , when the budget was put together we did not budget for <br /> he site as much as we needed . <br /> aul agreed , they estimated $6 per sq foot, which is $10 off . The STP was <br /> of even calculated in . <br /> teve said the original calculation figured 6 . 5% for inflation and that is <br /> here we are now. The difference is in the design . <br /> aul asked Steve what he would cut from the design? <br /> aul said the Committee has to make a decision , ask SMMA to re-design or <br /> gree on cuts/alternates or go back to town meeting . <br /> teve said the second page ( alternates ) is unpalatable to him. <br /> oe would like to see some re-design . <br /> aul said re-design will cost the project because a 6-8 month delay with 6% <br /> nflation rate, the cost of inflation will eat up any savings from re- <br /> esign . <br /> an feels the project will hit a bad bidding period if you wait ( past <br /> arch ) . <br /> ill thinks the Committee should seriously look at the gym, it is only a <br /> argain if you can afford it . <br /> oe is suggesting cutting some of the angles , curves , not re-designing the <br /> ntire building . <br /> anice would like to hear from Ian , who represents the Committee. <br /> an said he would avoid a re-design . The Committee made a good decision to <br /> ick that design . The architects have not worked hard enough to meet that <br /> esign . He would cut the gym first. <br /> eter said he does not want the long term quality of the project, which is <br /> n important part of our community to suffer because a decision may be <br /> uncomfortable in the short term. He suggested presenting to the voters a <br /> choice . The community use items are alternates , the primary task it a <br /> building . It is easier to add to the site than to add a building addition . <br /> The Committee can present the town with a balanced budget, if we cut the <br /> gym, and then tell town meeting what has been cut. If they want in back in <br /> they have to pay for it - with additional funds. Let the town decide . <br /> Merry Sue came to the meeting assuming there would be cuts to make . There <br /> are a lot of finishes she could live without . As much as she believes in <br /> the athletic facilities , the building is first. The Committee could go to <br /> town meeting and say we can build a building but not outdoor facilities <br /> because of inflation . <br /> Peter said his concern is the Committee makes all of these cuts and the <br /> 7 <br />
