Vision Planning Committee, and Drummer Boy Park Phase I Improvements Mr. Lombardi stated that Horsley Witten has been instructed to stop any further phase 1 design work and remain in a holding pattern. The Town needs to revisit plans for reallocating the almost $5k in Barnstable County ARPA funds that need to be spent by 2024. The playground needs attention, the toddler play structure broke a few months ago and has been closed since. The Town worked with a local playground consultant to come up with a plan to reuse a portion of the structure and remove the rest of it and add a new climbing structure. The plan is to have the DPW remove a series of old plastic underdrains due to the Page Select Board 12.19.2022 www.brewster-ma.gov Doc ID: a33038a47844884ec1428a2aEb8b319f92225076 0� ,mrt2Seq�� Foil Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Office of: Select Board Town Administrator loss of woodchips. New mulch will be added following the work on the structures. The playground space is within Conservation Commission Jurisdiction and the Town has included in our application the removal of the old wooden structure at the back of the playground area. Removing of the structure will happen in the future. Phase 2 of the plan referenced making comprehensive upgrades, these plans are also on hold, however the Town will continue to maintain the area. The Select Board hadagreed to hold a second public forum regarding the boardwalk and pledged to bring an article to Town Meetijg this spring. Mr. Lombardi shared that Horsley Witten will update and refine the carrying capacity analysis to incorporate the ecological impacts on Wing Island, as well as cost estimates for the most recently discussed boardwalk scenarios. There was discussion on the Select Board's support in placing a Conservation Restriction (CR) on Wing Island (to be held by the Conservation Commission), an opportunity to memorialize our existing practices, including the Town's long-time partnership with the Museum of Natural 141story. The CR would require at least Town Meeting approval, Wing Island has Mass General Law Chapter 97 protections and may require a Special Act approved by State legislature. The feedback received regarding the Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) was overwhelmingly positive except for specific concerns about the inclusion of the boardwalk and the Drummer Boy Park Master Plan, The Vision Planning Committee will be meeting in January to hold their own debrief. Ms. Kalinick noted that it is likely that the LCP as proposed right now would not pass at another Town Meeting until the issues that we are aware of have been resolved. The Vision Planning Committee would like to continue in primarily an educational role providing opportunities to educate on the purpose and value the LCP has to the community. Selectperson Hoffmann stated that she believes we are still listening to our community when making decisions about Brewster and made the following comments: • There is a nee to change the direction of the past and current discussions regarding the boardwalk to Wing Island{. Future discussions should follow a process that engages and builds trust with the community. • We need to consider placing a conservation restriction on Wing Island that would include a complete outline of currFent conditions and provide regulatory framework for the area to protect this unique and valuable resource. • Concerns regarding the Drummer Boy Park Master Plan and possible lack of funding. Offered kudos to the DPW to try to address the issues in a creative way. Adding that we need to protect this resource, control the vekicular traffic flow, and manage and protect the viewshed. She suggests considering disentangling the Drummer Boy Park plans from the Wing Island plans until we work on future public engagement. • Supports and applauds the hard work of the Vision Planning Committee on the LCP. Members of the Select Board shared their thoughts and ideas on a public forum regarding Wing Island, warrant article for Town Meeting and the Local Comprehensive Plan, The Board will discuss details of the forum at a future meeting.

Mr. �ombardi suggested that during the transition period before closing the fiscal year would be to prorate the; percentage based on regularly scheduled meetings. Ms. Kalinick noted that the Board should allow boards y�nd committees time to meet and discuss the policy and possibly make the start date March 1, 2023.

The Board vote was 3 -Yes, 2-1\1o. Mr. Lombardi noted that the consensus of the group of the member Towns is to recommend a 25 -year level debt term. Information is provided in the packet on the different impacts on Brewster residents on the tax rate and the tax bill on the assumption of the annual tax impact based on the fiscal 23medium home value for residential properties. For the average Brewster resident, if the project moves forward and is approved at the dual election on January 10 and assumes a 4.5% interest rate and all other assumptions there would be a $466 annual impact. Brewster's share of the interest payments on the project overall, via the districts assessment, a 25 -year term vs a 30 -year term for Brewster would save approximately'$12M in interest over the span of the debt issuance. The school committee will take a vote on this after theJanuary 10 election. Selectperson Hoffmann moved to recommend the debt term for Nauset Regional High School Project be at a 25 -year level debt.

Also includes details about the $C7+M in scope production that the school building committee has made over the course of their deliberations and the $20+M project costs that have been incurred or encumbered to date. Selectperson Hoffmann asked if school funding passes, but the debt limit does not, wf7at impact does this have on the Town? Mr. Lombardi responded that Brewster's share of annual payments is on the order of $4M, if the debt is not excluded the Town would have to cut $4M from operating budget. This would mean Jeep and significant cuts to staffing, services and programs, as there is very little in the way of levy capacity. Adding that there is no way to fund the project within the Towns existing levy. If this unfolds, we will need to go back to voters with a follow up election seeking approval to exclude the debt. Selectperson Hoffmann moved to approve the additional funding for the Nauset Regional High School project. Selectperson Chatelain second. A roll call vote was taken.
