Michelle and Martin updated the committee on the sidewalk project.  The scope was slightly decreased (sidewalk not as wide, less plantings and benches).  Current estimate is at $400k.  Devens needs to approve of changes before hopefully going out for bids in the next month. 

The committee discussed the 2021 plan for upcoming projects.  The committee agreed that the current projects include the sidewalk (estimate approx $300k from reserves with rest privately fundraised), the courtyard and windows (assume $300k from reserves with the rest privately fundraised), and bathroom renovations ($50k from reserves).  The committee also agreed on the need for apprx $250k in other emergency funding.  The committee did not believe any other projects were of immediate need.  The committee also agreed that the strategic direction should inform future facilities spending beyond the current planned uses. The committee agreed that the remaining funds, after holding $750k to $1 million back in the facilities reserve, could be reallocated to the general reserve at the direction of the board.
