Donna Harrington and Gale Farrugia explained the population of residents age 60 and
over has increased dramatically over the last 20 years, and will increase more quickly
over the next 10 years. The COA serves 800-900 people a month, plus case management.
The committee discussed leasing versus purchasing equipment and noted the $5,050
.- request for a photocopier is not eligible as a capital purchase because it is under $10,000
and has a life expectancy of less than five years.
Louis Costa explained his first priority is Tyler Forms, $17,000 to purchase and $1,700
for yearly maintenance. Without Tyler Forms, it would cost the town $6,000 annually to
purchase the necessary forms for the MUNIS system.
Mr. Costa said his second priority is "Sonic Ring," which is part of the fiber project. He
said some of the funding would come from the agreement between the town and FIOS.
The Recreation Department presented information regarding the completion of the
Plymouth Street "Back 40." The original estimate, $653,831, included lighting and
electric piping, but that has been taken out for a new estimate of $556,031. $200,000
would allow the project to begin.
