My Name is Paul H Cosentino. I started this Blog in 2011 because of what I believe to be wrongdoings in town government. This Blog is to keep the citizens of Templeton informed. It is also for the citizens of Templeton to post their comments and concerns.

Elementary School Building Committee votes;
The committee voted to submit option C to the BOS for action.
This option is for K through grade 5 with a conceptual project cost of $50,088,996.00 with the Town cost of $22,058,890.00. The difference of $28,030,106.00 to be paid by MSBA. Again this is only early projected cost, which the selectmen will have to vote on. Also, there was a meeting of the school committee which also approved the option voted by the committee. Hopefully there will be clarification about this project being a town project rather than a district one. For those who may have forgotten, the projected cost for this project back in 2009 was about $32 million with the town share at around $16 million.
On another subject, I spoke with Bill Clabaugh and I was given the nickel tour of the completed wood chip boiler project. I was told the present chip cost is at the middle 40 dollar per ton range. If you are interested, a tour of this facility can be arranged and it is worth it.

Why are they spending 40 a ton ?? I know they could have done better. Maybe they have money to burn, but I don't, and I'll bet I'm not alone. Bev.
ReplyDeleteThat is a question for the district, Some of it may be quality of chip, quantity available for delivery and delivery track record. There are probably a number of reasons, but as I wrote, take the tour and ask the questions. Remember that it is now a done deal so the things to watch is the per year costs, savings if any and how are those savings applied.
