Summary

Tim Laughlin said the committee intends to finalize the FF&E package and complete 1049R submissions by month-end; he said the filings could result in statutory relief for Sherman taxpayers given the town's position.

Tim Laughlin, a Board of Education member on the School Building Committee, told the committee the team is completing 1049R submissions and expects to finalize the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) package for simultaneous submission to the state by the end of March. Laughlin said that because of Sherman’s particular position the submissions "may result in statutory relief for the town’s taxpayers," a potential fiscal benefit that will depend on state review and approval.

Architect Michael LoSasso said Antinozzi Associates is preparing FF&E and technology documents and expects to use state procurement processes to streamline purchases. The committee did not take a formal vote on the state submissions at this meeting and did not specify the statutory provision(s) that could apply; Laughlin’s remark was offered as context for why the filings matter to taxpayers.
