The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.  The first item on the agenda was to choose chairpersons.  Jeff Trexler and Dan Gobin were nominated by Lori and seconded by Carl to be co-chairs.  The motion was passed unanimously.  Meeting dates are to be the lst and 3rd Mondays of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the School.  This may change depending on any personal scheduling problems occur.

Jeff gave out copies of the DCPC 2002 Report, Dan gave handouts on the DCBC Press Release, and an Agenda for our April 30, 2003 meeting.  We agreed to keep the committee name the DCBC-Dunbarton Center Building Committee.

 

Next came the discussion of our Project Planning:

 

l. What is Our Mission/Goals?     --       To develop/present a one building plan with        construction cost estimates & sufficient details to bring to a public forum for discussion and then to the voters at Town Meeting in March 2004

 

2. How will we achieve these goals?   --  thru phases with the use of a time line.  We will need an architect, a construction manager (CM), sufficient drawings and documentation for the GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price)  -- about 80% completion, full details after acceptance by the Town, the architect cost should include 100% completion of drawings, RFP’s to be prepared and sent out for first the architect and later the CM. Dan Gobin made the motion for an RFP to retain an architect and retain a CM shortly after attaining of the architect.  Carl Metzger seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

Dan will follow-up with Chief Nelson regarding the straightening of the road and sidewalks (2005) funding/project.  We will also plan to communicate with the Board of Selectmen & Towns people thru Marketing.  Norman Roberge will be the Library Trustee liaison to our committee.

 

We discussed the existing Town Office. Dan volunteered to explore different avenues of funding i.e.:  grants, historical renovation funding, Library funds, etc.
