(160K for vehicles, 15K for radios, 31K for Misc repairs). The CBC is concerned about the sudden change of priority from the fingerprint machine which in the past was a high priority item. Brad has requested an explanation from the Police Department and the Committee will revisit these items after receiving a reply. We discussed the Fire Chief’s request for completion of Sta. 3 administrative space at a cost of 1.4M and the needs of Sta. 1 for ADA compliance if no Sta. 3 addition is approved. Art D. explained the options as, vote for completion of Sta. 3, take no action, ask the BoS to give us direction, vote a lesser amount for Sta.1. Much discussion centered around the cost and return on investment and future borrowing needs, given the Facility Plan projections. The CBC would like the chief to supply details on what the old 800K estimate for Sta. 1 would include and what would the 1.4M for Sta. 3 include. As an alternative, what can be done, and at what cost, to satisfy the ADA requirements at Sta.1. Art D. pointed out that potentially up to $100,000 of HUD funds could be used to offset the Sta. 1 costs. Art D. to investigate. The CBC discussed a debt exclusion and voted unanimously to recommend a $483,000 Debt Exclusion, using Peter’s “Debt Exclusion –Facility Repairs 2006 dated 10/31/06 as a guide and FY08 & FY09 columns as a project list.

D-Y Regional School Committee members: Phil Morris, Jim Dykeman Carol Woodbury - DYRSD Superintendent Skip Finnell - DYRSD Director of Fiscal Affairs Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District: DeBonville referenced his memo to the School District representatives of June 8, 2006. He reiterated his goal to establish an annual warrant article to address School District and Town capital needs that might be funded by some combination of funds from Town Free Cash, School Excess & Deficiencies (E & D) and School Assessment funds. Finnell indicated that School District E & D funds belong to both the Town of Dennis and Yarmouth and could not be used for Yarmouth capital purposes without an agreement with the Town of Dennis. He also stated that any funds to be spent on capital items would require an increase in the School’s Assessment to the Town. Johnson-Staub noted that the Town’s capital needs exceed $1.5 million per year yet only $1 million per year has been available for the past 15 years or more and thus it is not possible to address School capital needs from Free Cash. Woodbury gave an overview of materials distributed at the meeting which included documents with the following titles: Long Range Facilities Plan; Completed Projects July 1, 2005 – September 30, 2006, and Preventive Maintenance…In House, Public Item Summary. The School District requests for FY2008 Yarmouth capital items total $1,407,000. Finnell stated that the top priorities were related to security and communication systems totaling $140,000. Also proposed is a comprehensive building study for which an estimate of $500,000 is proposed. Woodbury suggested that after such a study is completed, the Town might consider bundling some building renovation items and seeking School Building Assistance funds from the state. There was a general discussion about how best to address the capital needs of the School District. Johnson-Staub suggested that the School District submit a debt exclusion request that could be reviewed by the Capital Budget Committee and ultimately the Finance Committee and Selectmen.

Run Pond Wetland Restoration: Neil Moody and three other members of a group known as the Friends of Run Pond were present to underscore the importance of this wetland restoration project. Moody noted that the problem at Run Pond is the result of the construction of the parking lot at Bass River Beach and Shore Road. Karl von Hone, Natural Resources Director described the causes and effects of reduced tidal flow. He referred to cost estimates provided by the Army Corps of Engineers in 2005. The least expensive alternative identified has a total cost of approximately $2.5 million of which up to $457,000 may not be needed for land acquisition. Army Corps funds will not be available this year. Von Hone indicated that the earliest funds might become available from the Army Corps is calendar year 2008. If the Army Corps does provide funding in the future, the net cost to the Town could be as little as $500,000. Goodwin proposed that the project might be more likely to receive Town approval if the Town’s costs could be met by a three-way cost share including: Beach Parking receipts, debt exclusion, and a betterment charge to the abutters of Run Pond. Action on this item was held pending notification of Army Corps funding. DPW Administration: Based upon a written report received from Carol Wall and distributed at the meeting the Committee took the following position: • DPW Director’s Vehicle $40,000 – Replace Director’s SUV with a pick-up truck and plow.

Fire Department: Chief Randall Sherman was present to respond to some questions asked by the Committee. He distributed a memo dated 9/26/2006. The Committee had asked if the purchase of an ambulance replacement could be deferred one year. Sherman noted that the ambulance would be 7 years old with over 100,000 miles of use when replaced, if the request is approved at the upcoming Town Meeting. He reviewed the repair history with the Committee. The Committee had previously voted not to recommend replacement of the 1979 Ford Pumper which was traded in and not replaced in 2004 when the Tower Ladder was purchased. Purchase of this pumper would provide a second pumper for the West Yarmouth Station. Sherman explained that from 1986 until 2004 the Fire Department had two pumpers at each station. In February of 2004 additional personnel were hired and assigned to Station 3. At that time, an ambulance was assigned to Station 3 and there was no longer a place to garage a second pumper at Station 3. The Fire Deparmtent’s stated plan at the time was two trade in one pumper and to replace it upon completion of Station 3 at which time there would be a place to put it. Sherman described the reasons for having two pumpers at each of the three fire stations. The second pumper is used by call firefighters and off-duty personnel when needed. The second pumper is also used when the front-line pumper is being repaired. Sherman noted that having two pumpers at each station is a factor in ISO ratings which affect residential, commercial and municipal property insurance rates. DeBonville asked if the 1986 Pierce Pumper could be retained and repaired in lieu of purchasing a new pumper. Sherman reviewed the repair history of the 1986 Pumper noting that the drive train and suspension will likely need to be replaced at a cost of $35,000. He also stated his desire to replace the last open canopy cab for improved safety. • •

The Committee voted 4 – 0 to recommend approval of $168,000 for replacement of the 2000 Ambulance. After some discussion, the Committee voted 4 – 0 to recommend approval of $160,000 for the second lease-purchase payment for a replacement of the 1986 Pumper.

• •

The Committee voted 3 – 1 to recommend approval of $150,000 for replacement of the 1979 Pumper to be housed at the new Station 3 in West Yarmouth when completed. The Committee voted 4 – 0 to recommend that the purchase of the Brush Truck be deferred in hopes that the Fire Reserve for Appropriation funds might be allocated toward other Fire Department operating or capital priorities in FY2008 or a future year.

The memo stated that 86.5% of Chapter 90 funds expended from 1999 to 2006 was spent on road construction. The Town Administrator indicates in the memo that he believes the condition of the roads will not be compromised by the proposal to allocate $400,000 of Chapter 90 funds for construction of a Salt Shed and asks the Committee to reconsider its recommendation against this proposal. Following some discussion, the Committee voted 4 – 0 to recommend approval of the Salt Shed.

D-Y Regional School District: DeBonville opened the meeting noting that he would like the Capital Budget Committee to vote a recommendation on School Capital requests at this meeting so that the Board of Selectmen can consider including a warrant article for any recommended funding. Finnel distributed a revised D-Y Regional School District Long Range Facilities Plan dated 1/25/2006 that grouped the requests into three funding source categories: Borowing, Pay-As-You-Go Budget (within D-Y Assessment), Pay-As-You-Go Budget Supplemental (special article funds over and above D-Y Assessment). Due to budget pressures, no funds are proposed to be allocated toward capital from within the D-Y Assessment. Finnel noted that the requests shown for John Simpkins Elementary would likely be withdrawn given the School’s plan to discontinue use of the School Building for FY2007. DeBonville stated that he did not feel the School and Town were ready to present a comprehensive plan for the maintenance of School and Town buildings and he therefore did not support an override for the Schools for FY2007. He indicated he would like to work with School and Town representatives to develop such a plan next year. Following a review of the individual items proposed for FY2007, the Committee voted 5 – 0 to recommend a debt exclusion of $463,000 for the following items: SCHOOL L.C. MacArthur Elementary M.E.

He has asked the Superintendent to submit a proposal within the next few weeks so that the Committee could vote a recommendation before the January 31st Selectmen meeting. DeBonville stated that the Committee has been asked to designate a representative to a John Simpkins School Building Committee formed to consider whether the building should continue to be used as a school. The Committee has also been asked to designate a representative to a D-Y School committee on financial planning. DeBonville offered to represent the Capital Budget Committee on both of these new ad-hoc committees. The Committee voted unanimously to name DeBonville to these committees.
