everyone happy to see so many people at this presentation this evening this is major capital project working group and our purpose tonight is to undealt for you a lot of the work that we've been doing since last february as i prepared this material and was going over it late this afternoon i started to think that this whole process at least since labor day for those  may be familiar with track and field events this is starting to feel like a sprint medley and we've got two more runners to go so what i give you tonight is going to be a lot of information and i may be going most recent financial task force cap rouge is here with us tonight who've done tons of things but most recently permanent building committee and she is also on the high school building community there she is our information conduit to the major report on november thirteenth but our committee will continue and i'll get to that point is we lost our charge is as i said to look at the library also the incinerator site and to do all of that within the context of the high school which is now a project which is goals and we know that that will take up a lot of our finances it will take up a lot of our time interest and energy but nonetheless we have to find a way  material itself in addition our information gathering has been quite expensive and has not expensive we were doing it very cheaply because everybody isn't very cooperative and that's a good thing involves some input from them and they have really now what we also have been working with the town planner and his new assistance realty director development fire keepers and very helpful at one particular juncture in helping us out with a problem as has the interim a lexus like manager library director and several weeks ago here in this spot we had a very productive meeting with the waverly neighborhood when i get to that point on the slide is very evening as we moved along through our process we had a number of developments in a number of decision making points first off as you know belmont high school early in the process back in two thousand and sixteen  incinerator site as a viable location for d p w or the library for a number of reasons but basically we felt that the site was too remote to some of those uses  and what we quickly figured out was that we had to go into directions simultaneously we realized that both facilities were in dire need of work they both needed to be replaced they both fund that shorter work is therefore we are looking at two main employee working conditions and those are the two things that guided us as we made our decisions about what we could manage and what we could do the b w the art is very easy to work with and the solutions that we are add buildings for washing the vehicles because we are moving that function out of the main building so that we  and also improving evidence storage is right now is practically on my additional parking will be done here as well within the building will be the things that i've talked about safe weapons walk up walking area holding cells evidence storage all that will be done within the building some of the stories to incinerate doing that allows us to avoid relocation and therefore it saves a lot our goal is after meeting with way the neighbors  also can design a low enough building so that we keep the profile amenable to the neighbors saying greening woodlands trees is not a public way and we will consider  employees are at any given moment or in any given day monday through friday there are twenty five to thirty employees coming in as is the equipment that doesn't change and the neighbors i'm good with that and there's no coming and going unless it is on saturday and sunday we however is a point where seven jobs so we have some numbers on the police their first involved twenty three employees their second shift advantages first of all they love it they love the location it gives them plenty of marking which they don't have now it isn't safe to do exercises as a whole regional meetings isn't like that that they can do now in the presen change week knowledge that and we have knowledge that we would need to deal in some way with all of that is manageable and we have time to do that part where we talking about the money because that's are not written this is not the final word this is the estimate we can put together based on our consultants based on our analysis of what we need to station will cost two point eight million dollars the grand scheme of things keeping it under five million which i think is very reasonable to create a safe excessive opening environment both  the which i was thinking doesn't really need to be addressed to make until you said well if the short term plan doesn't then this might be a project of one of the concerns that wasn't on your list that seems to me the i mportant factor certainly a common factor in police stations is that they're located within communities in a reasonable visible inaccessible location for the public and obviously i don't think p w building but it does seem to me that it's a prominent municipal building and by putting it in a live road it really becomes invisible within the community that's the question  and that's the concern the what if is had cited earlier the challenge of renovating a store building for the police the what seems to me that any other municipal use or any other commercial use temporarily relocating a police station in the d p w area and rebuilding one when you know like student the electric building is the commission taking the whole site for a new police station that would give you emory mentioned that we go to people because unfortunately there's no packing i mean i we know that we have very a lot of elderly residents and when they call they want to talk to me and they want to come and they i got a problem i got to address it i have i can't tell you how many times but do you know what i'll come to you because first and foremost i don't know where you're going in that depending on the circumstances and the weather and things like that i think it's a lot of good way to be but unfortunately we were founded by a number of things not only the profit if you want to feel we have the railroad behind us the railroad track behind us a lot of we have a lot of operating procedure so it's a limitation so i suggest to me that having a central location that's visible or easily testable to the public is a good long term effort i'm not an architect but when i look at that area it seems to me that there's another land buildable so there's not square footage on the site to accommodate a police station and architects can do great things with sloping sites that would also provide
