About to record, report on the capital Budget subcommittee meeting scheduled to start at 5:45 PM, franklinma.gov/sites/g/files/… #cbsc0426
Round 2 of Capital after covering all the snow/ice funding, the funds had been held aside in case there was need and hence there is more to disperse. Town clerk starts with request of $3k, precinct polls and vests, staffing for clerk/ election staff (wardens in particular) ...
Vests of election warden uniforms to enable easy identification, used for the day and kept in the stores with the other election items. Very well explained, to be voted on individually, recommend vote, passes 4-0 (Pellegri, Dellorco, Chandler, Cormier-Ledger) ...
SPED van to replace 2011 vintage but so many repairs needs to get replaced. Warranty coverage is good, good Ford mechanic now at the DPW garage (from Franklin Ford), equipped with cameras, wheel chair vans, model holds 3 #cbsc0426
Chandler this was my favorite, thanks for getting this in the 2nd round #cbsc0426 vote on $77k van replacement, passes 4-0.

How can the @TOFranklinMA better brand itself? A public process will be facilitated to help with this effort. Identified by Franklin For All, Economic Development and other voices. Way finding signs, etc. Vote on $50k (not 57 in earlier tweet) approved 4-0 #cbsc0426
$600k proposed for roads in operations budget, largest ever in a budget, with intro of storm water fee, the ops budget can do more of what it has already needed to #cbsc0426 developed an assessment mgt inventory in 2010ish, in 3rd generation of road plan, added sidewalks ...
Recall the 2014 override for roads failed significantly, have only used Chap 90 funds since then, until now and then when cap budget items are available #cbsc0426
Mill/overlay $550k/mile (over 200 miles in town) other layers to be added, mentioned too quickly to capture accurately. #cbsc0426 road acceptance is also something to dealt with; Baron Rd. $1.2M per mile - looking to finish Country Club road, Brutus runs through options
No objections to the money, questions on how to use it remain. Baron would be nice but too expensive without funds available now to do so #cbsc0426 incremental improvements help tell the story of progress with limited funds
140 miles of sidewalk, we have rehabbed 40 miles, so it is something but not enough. #cbsc0426 maybe do parts of the tough sections especially where there is asphalt, that can be DPW work. Currently down 2, soon 3
Pellegri questioning the epoxy sidewalk and lasting not as long as it should, maybe Dean can help. Vote on approval of $581K passes 4-0 #cbsc0426
Vote on total as well 4-0
Vote on total as well 4-0
Meeting adjourned, stay tuned for Town Council at 7 PM #cbsc0426
