Also present= David Alfonso~ Kevin Delehanty~ and William Marcojohn of the S.~, Johnson Building Committee, Engineer Paggi. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed addition to the $.W.Johnson,Firehouse. Bngineer Paggi explained that towards the end of May, the Johnson Engine Co. was presented with a sketch and cost estimates for a 30'x72' addition to the present firehouse. An allowance was eluded for several items such as heat, ~entilation, and electric service since more specific estimates would depend upon the actual design plans. A second report was subsequently prepared in early June addressing projected costs of drainage work that would be required in con~unction with this project. In response to various questions he further explained that the figure for the heat allowance was estimated before receipt of the hydraulic engineer's report but he stated :hat the cost of~e work detailed in that report would probably be fairly close to the previous allowance. He also stated that some fill would be needed to sub- grade~e property; and that there did appear to be some difficulty with the placement of~e present retaining wa~l, in about three locations. Trustee Mazochi said that it was his impression that the fire company had offered to put up the building if the village would provide the material but that seems ~ have changed. MEe Delehanty stated that with the increased scope of the work, the fire company did not have the technical capacity to do the work themselves since there were no longer any masons nor electricians in the company~ and they anticipated having t o subcontract the work. Mayor Synnett stated that there was not suf[icient funds available at ~is time to undertake a project o~ this size; that the money previously designated from the CDBO funds was no longer available, and would bare to be used towards the water line repairs at the Bleachery~ Treasvrer Campilii explained that approximately 16~ of the village budget was already Committed to bond projects for the acqu£sit~&n~ of the firehouse properties, the purchase of the loader, and other projectsI and since bond anticipation notes would have to be paid off in five years, this would create to heavy a burden on the taxpayers at this time, Me also explained that to float a bond on this pr®ject, the villag· would have t o put 10% dow~ or approximately $13,700.
