I am confused. I thought the Spc.Town meeting vote charged the CCBC to develop options that were 50% and 75% of the price tag of $25 million, and to look at other sites for program locations.
“...to assist the CommunityCenter Building Committee in developing a range of Community Center design choices and budgets, including options not to exceed 75%, and 50% pf the current project estimated cost of $25 million for the Hartwell Complex supplemented or not with existing available town space with the intention of presenting said choices at a fall, 2023 Special Town Meeting for a vote on a preferred option;….” Why is the CCBC now presenting “…3 required options (up to 100%, up to 75%, up to 50%….”? (See below). Where is the “requirement” of a 100% option? How does this comport with the vote of a (packed) meeting? How does this reflect the will of the town? Perhpas I have missed something here. See you tomorrow night.
