Full Question from PNF member:
DPW budget still includes $185k to maintain KMS and CRT, which are not yet completed. Why can’t this be deferred to Spring 21 given project are not completed yet? Projected savings based on 2/3 of cost projection given lack to work needed in winter months.
Answer:
[My summary of the answer given by Jeremy Marsette in 6/10 DPW subcommittee meeting.]
This is based on the forecast of what is required for both KMS and CRT.
Rail trail is scheduled to open in the fall
This is the forecast for KMS including spring clean-up.
This is an ongoing additional yearly expense.
Requested follow-up:
What is the breakdown between KMS and the CRT in terms of ongoing maintenance?

Still curious if any consideration has been given to delaying the opening the CRT until the Spring and what the associated savings would be?
