Town Supervisor Barriere opened the meeting at 6:30 p.m. by leading the assemblage in the Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag.
The purpose of this workshop was solely to discuss the proposed highway facility in order to assist the
Facilities Development Committee with fine-tuning the plans for the new highway facility.
Chuck explained that a square building would be the most cost effective, followed by a rectangular shape.
In planning the facility it was designed so expansion could occur in the future – both to the highway
facility and additions of other buildings such as a Town Hall.
Discussions followed on final design and cost concerns. These included building orientation, number of
doors, possible storage space over the office, number of bathrooms, location of fence, and number of
parking spaces.
There was much discussion on the necessity of a wash bay and a salt storage unit. Chuck agreed to work
up prices with both items included and with the items not included. He should have these figures ready to
present to the board in two weeks.
All board members present agreed this is a facility they can support the construction of.
We cannot go to bid until the time has passed for a permissive referendum. If a vote is necessary, it would
likely be held in November. Once bids are received, construction could begin in the spring of 2011.
Workshop adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Alice M. Linton
Enfield Town Clerk
