Renderings of Main Entrance to Town Hall - January 2010
Please visit our documentation page to view floor plans approved by the committee in January 2010. These plans will be part of the bid package currently being put together for the project.
December 2009:
The committee (MSCC) has been quite active, as we head closer to a referendum on converting the former Middle School to a Town Office complex. Since receiving approval to expend Phase II Design funding at a Town Meeting in October 2009, we have been meeting with the architect to develop plans which will be used to solicit actual bids (instead of using conceptual plans and estimated project costs to go to referendum) and continue to modify those plans to reduce potential costs.
Each of our subcommittees has been working hard on a variety of projects:
- Grant and Legal Subcommittee, under the leadership of Sharon Wheeler, has presented on RFQ for a construction manager and researched different grant opportunities-including adding the building to the historic registry.
- Facilities Subcommittee has toured the complex numerous times and with the assistance of our building inspector and architects has sought code modifications to the State of Connecticut to reduce costs and use existing materials.
- Public Relations Subcommittee hosted an informational booth during election day from 6am-8pm.
Space Needs Subcommittee has allocated additional space for the Ambulance Association and met with the architects to fine tune the layouts. Also, under the leadership of Patty Stricker, have inventoried remaining property, allowed town non-profit organizations to view and arrange pickup of leftover items (not including that which will be re-used by the Town) and are going through the process of liquidating what remains.
We will continue to evaluate the design process and hope to be able to bring this project to the Board of Selectman sometime during the Spring of 2010.
We regrettably received a member resignation from Richard Everett. Ed Blaschik was moved to regular member status and we welcomed new alternate member David Nelson.
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month in the Town Office Annex. All agendas and minutes are posted on this site and at the Town Hall. Public input is always welcomed.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns.
