In essence, the current plan by the administration under the $4.85 million bonding proposal would convert the back three-story building at 460 Main into a municipal center, while razing the front structure at 686 Main to offer more parking. Fiscal concerns aside for the moment, there is little ques- tion the community has needed a larger, more modern Town Hall since the 1960s. The town was cited by the stale in 1966 and 1972 for inadequate vault space, and that situation hasn't improved one iota since. But the town has gotten bigger and more populated. Parking at the clock-towered 37 DeForest Street hall virtually is non-existent, and there arc few public parking slots available at the Town Hall Annex at 424 Main, where several other key town offices are located. Neither the Town Hall, Annex, nor School Department offices in the nearby Munson House are handicap accessible, a fact that will run smack into the mandates of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1994.

The Watertown couple — cel- ebrating the 15th anniversary of their Connecticut Gymnastics School on Main Street — have been introducing and teaching gymnastics to local youngsters since 1957. That's the year both Mike and Dolores became the new physical education teachers at Watertown High School, in what is now Heminway Park School. They began teaching the kids of ihose kids in 1978 when they opened ihe school and 15 years laicr are leaching the kids of the kids of the kids. "We have worked very hard on building a reputation of excellence," said Dolores. "I think we've succeeded in that."

When Jeremy Greco of Bethlehem went down to Atlantic City last month for a karate competition, it was a pretty good bet he would bring back some trophies. Jeremy, 10, who trains out of the Academy of Karate in Watertown, competed in the Fight for Cancer Tournament at Donald Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City on August 14. It was an international competition, attracting some 3,000 entrants from across the world. Jeremy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Greco, won second place in weapons forms and third in breaking in his age group. He also competed in free sparring and forms. Jeremy, who is a red belt (with a stripe), is a fifth grade student at Bethlehem Elementary School.

September 9, 1993 I am a resident of Watertown and a principal of G & W Real Estate and G & W Management, inc. G & W Real Estate was the broker in the negotiations between R.R.P. Holdings, inc. and the Town of Watertown for the proposed new Town Hall.

On September 14, 1993 the registered voters of Watertown will decide to accept or reject the proposed Town Hall to be located at 680 Main Street.

The acquisition cost of the land and buildings is one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000), which equates to approximately $37.50 per square foot of space. This may be the last chance for the town to locate a Town Hall on a Main Street site. The property owners were asking six million dollars ($6,000,000) for the site in 1989. Due to the distressed commercial real estate market, the town has the opportunity to purchase the property at the attractive price of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($ 1,500,000).

The present Town Hall and the Town Hall Annex are not accessible to the elderly or handicapped, and are out of compliance under the law entitled: "Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)". To comply, the town will have to appropriate approximately one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) to two million dollars ($2,000,000) to bring the existing town owned buildings up to ADA standards. Even if money is appropriated to comply with ADA requirements, the town still has to address the present lack of space and structural problems in the existing town buildings. The Town Hall and Town Hall Annex do not meet present state building codes, and present facilities are located in six separate buildings.

Some residents are not in favor of this proposal. However, what are the alternatives? The town still has to address the issues cited above.

The most important issue at hand is your right and obligation to vote. Whether you are for or against the proposal, your vote does count. Watertown has been discussing a new Town Hall for approximately twenty five years. We now have the opportunity to get involved and be a part of the solution rather than the problem.

We are proud to be a Watertown-based business and look forward to being a part of watertown's progress.

Very truly yours,

Andrew J. Gionta
