MARION — Pavement repairs , sewer system upgrades and a new ladder truck were some of the 30 items and projects listed by the Marion Capital Improvements Planning Committee that could appear on the ballot at Marion’s next Town Meeting.

Committee secretary Richard Giberti and committee member Casey Barros presented a ranked list of capital improvements requested by various town departments in a presentation to the Marion Select Board on Tuesday, Feb. 7.

“All projects we look at have to cost at least $10,000,” said Giberti. “And they have to have a five-year lifespan.”

According to Giberti, committee members score each project individually based on need, and then a weighted average was taken and compiled into two ranked lists.

One list consisted of 14 projects proposed by the Department of Public Works.

The top three items on the list was a lead service line inventory which is estimated to cost $75,000, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System upgrade which is estimated to cost $150,000, and a Water Pollution Control Facility upgrade which is estimated to cost $100,000.

According to a report compiled by the Capital Improvements Planning Committee, the total cost of the 14 projects proposed by the Department of Public Works is estimated to be approximately $1.29 million.

The second list included 16 projects proposed by other town departments including Sippican School, Old Rochester Regional High School, the Marion Council on Aging, Marion Police and Fire, and facilities.

The top three items on the list was the refurbishment of a rooftop HVAC unit at Sippican School which is estimated to cost $50,000, pavement repair at Old Rochester Regional High School which is estimated to cost $35,000, and a new carport at the Marion Council on Aging which is estimated to cost $200,000.

The most expensive item on the list is a new ladder truck requested by the Marion Fire Department at a cost of approximately $1.6 million. It is ranked at number 11 out of 16.

“On Saturday there was a fire in Wareham and our ladder truck came limping back out of service,” said Select Board Chair Randy Parker, who also sits on the Capital Improvements Planning Committee.

According to the Capital Improvements Planning Committee’s report, the total cost of the 16 projects is estimated to be approximately $2.46 million.

The total cost of all 30 capital projects is approximately $3.75 million.

According to Interim Town Administrator Judy Mooney, not everything will be funded. She explained that the town will “go down the line,” of ranked items but when the town runs out of money “that’s it.”
