The 7-5 vote will help fund several restoration projects at the church. In return , the town will get a historic pres- ervation restriction placed on the property. That effectively givesthe town areal property interest in the church. During the council'spublic hearing on the request , Rev. Dr. Kristin Harper said that if the building couldn't be preserved , it was possible it could be replaced. "We will not sell this build- ing," Harper said. "What we will do, if we have to, is take down the building and build a more modern , cheap struc- ture. Thisiswhat mayhappen if we do not get the funds to preserve it." The $20,000 request was just a sliver of the origi- nal request made by the church,accordingto Commu- nity Preservation Committee chairman Lindsey Counsell. The committee reviewed and "cherry picked" those items it felt met the CPA's requirements and could be supported. Centerville Councilor Fred Chirigotis asked if a pres- ervation plan to provide continued maintenance and upkeep had been prepared to provide some assurance that the church would not be back asking for more restoration funds. Counsell said the com- mittee has not sought such requests , but thought the idea had merit. Other suggestions offered during the long discussion included an inventory of other churches and potential projects that could qualify for CPA funding and creation of a formal method of assess- ment for projects that come forward. A workshop on such things is scheduled with the Community Preservation Committee for sometime in the spring.
