Capital Improvement Plan Draft Reviewed, Funding Adjustments Made for Multiple Projects

The committee discussed the proposed capital improvement plan (CIP) for the upcoming years, focusing on various projects and their funding. Key discussions included the revaluation cost for 2028, adjusting funding for fire department training structures and station needs, and reclassifying the South Bow Tower replacement as urgent. They also debated adjustments to the drainage capital reserve request, the townwide paving budget, and the public works vehicle capital reserve. Significant time was spent on the town building maintenance reserve, particularly the need to move forward with the broken chairlift replacement and adjust the timeline for the safety center parking lot project. The committee also discussed the historical old town hall project's timeline and its reliance on grants and donations. The draft CIP was accepted as amended.
