Mill St Hwy Barn Debt Exclusion Vote – Sept 7th
Tim RoughanChairman - Capital Planning Improvement CommitteeCPIC Member - Facilities Development CommitteeAugust 2004
Facilities Development History
A few years ago the town looked into putting all services in the center of town Re-hab the Town Hall More space for all departments New library
Estimate was more than $7,000,000 Too expensive for town Additional land needed
Facilities Development History
What have we done? Repaired Library roof and replaced furnace Began needed electrical work at Town Hall Approved Town Hall roof repairs
Recently, we looked into moving all departments down to Mill St property Estimate was over $5,000,000
Too expensive
Another thought was to add bays to existing highway barn
At least $200,000 and would only be a temporary solution (less than 5 years)
Part of Five Year Capital Plan
Re-locate Highway Dept. to new 13,600 sq. ft. facility to be built on the Mill St. site Provide Emergency Squad facility by
re-locating Emergency Services to existing Fire Station
Re-locate Fire Station to existing Highway Barn
Plan benefits
Adequate space for Emergency Squad and other departments for 10-15 yearsBalanced approach to long-term costs Use anticipated reductions in notes on
Elementary and High Schools to fund improvements
Adequate space for all Departments
Existing Ambulance Barn
Existing building is falling down
No room to service Ambulance inside
Fire Station
Highway Barn
5-7 pieces of equipment are stored outside. Need indoor storage as well, can not freeze. Less susceptible to vandalism and equipment lasts longer when stored inside.

Hwy Barn Comparison
For Brookfield using an average of 3 sq ft per person results in a minumum requirement of 9,000 sq ft for needs known in 2004. Need larger size to accommodate future needs.
Space for future Municipal building
Proposed new Mill St Hwy barn
13,600 sq ft
Proposed DPW Facility(Highway Barn)
Proposed Reorganization of ExistingFire Station & Highway Barn toAccept Ambulance/EMS
Mill St project
Develop engineering drawings for bid package, do site prep work, then construct 14,000 sq. ft. facility for no more than $990,000$860,000 paid over a 40 year note (24¢ per thousand) $130,000 from Stabilization
$48 per year for a house valued at $200,000 Limited renovation needed for existing buildings
to accommodate new departments Goal is to move departments by early 2005
Best long term plan In 2-5 years will need to do something anyway
How will this plan help?Lays the groundwork for critical center of Town improvements Will be able to utilize all 4 floors of Town Hall More room for all departments More parking Allows start of modifications required to
make building handicapped accessible – it’s the law
Additional study needed for future facility needs
Proposed layout of Town Hall improvements

Estimated 24 cents per thousand on tax rate $48 per year for a $200,000 home Less than $1 per week to solve many long-
