Council lists town hall AV, Aldous cabin and park fixes among CIP priorities
Summary
At the work session, Mayor Sorensen and staff proposed capital projects including audiovisual equipment for the new Town Hall, refurbishing the Aldous cabin, park stump removal, a backup generator, cemetery lean-to, and drain-field repairs; some items have estimated costs in the budget notes.
Councilors discussed a practical list of capital improvements to consider in the next budget cycle. Mayor Richard Sorensen asked for audiovisual equipment for the new Town Hall; Treasurer Melissa Knowles and staff also identified stump removal at the park, a backup generator for Town Hall, a cemetery lean-to, repair of the park drain field, and replacing the old Town Hall floor.
Budget notes attached to the worksheets contain several cost estimates: stump removal estimated at $450 per stump with a $11,000 total, drain-field repair estimated at $20,000–$30,000, Old Town Hall floor $5,927.90, and History Museum floor $7,200. Councilors agreed to prioritize projects and seek grant funding (for example, for the Aldous cabin) where possible.
