Public
Comments: Dan Chalifour
asks to speak. For clarity, as was
explained at the meeting…Mr Chalifour
is a district resident and the Manufacturers Representative for Firestone,
Building Products. He had asked for 15
or more minutes to give a presentation to the comm. Committee Chair explained the process and
allowed him five minutes. He explained
his concerns about the roofing projects at the Ms/Hs and Mt Caesar. He provided the board some reference
materials. He sells “TPO” roofing
products and not PVC, (which were specified in the bid process). He offered to assist the comm../district
with the project. NOTE: The roofing bids are due on 11-16-07.
Gene White offered that this proposed building
project was significant and that rather than sending the Finance Comm. a “memo”
about it, there should be a joint meeting of the committees to discuss, in
depth, this issue.
Brett—Updates
The comments of Mr. Chalifour
were discussed. A.L. Johnson, Roofing,
recommended PVC. The existing roofs are
PVC. Dave King of KB uses PVC and does
not care for TPO.
Roof Bids…due on 11-16-07
by 3.00 pm. They will be opened by Brett and K Chambers,
in K Chambers office. They will not acted upon at time of opening.
Auditorium Vents:
Started work on these Monday and should be done by Friday,
11-16-07. The repair company will be
back next week to crane off the debris from this job.
Amer Electric: Will also be in to test the vents and fire
alarms.
Generator:
Bruce Bohanan asks that the generator be
exercised. Make sure that it provides
the necessary power to run the systems at the school and that when “street
power” comes back up, the generator switches back over to it.
Troy Egress:
This is all done.
Troy Windows:
The windows/materials should be here in a week and they should be
installed by Christmas.
Security Cameras and Monitors: These are all in and the magnetic locks are
now being installed.
One Source:
Relative to cameras and a monitor and an intercom at the Ms/Hs. This project had been put on hold, until we
could check with KB—to see if this made sense to do at this time. KB says yes, all systems could be re-used if
the master plan goes through. The
budgeted amount for this project was $4,900.00; the bid came in at $2,980.00
and with a 10% contingency fee, comes to $3,278.00.
Motion…J.
Kenyon moves…to accept the bid of $3,278.00, which includes a 10 % contingency
fee, for One-Source to install the camera(s), monitor and intercom. B Fenton second. Vote…5-0-0-0.
As an aside to this issue, Brett informed the comm.. that SRO Fischer wished to
add several cameras to this proposal.
The request came to late and with no supporting information. Brett will look into this as it is possible
to add cameras at a later date to the system.
Kitchen Hood:
The hood, which Stromgren will replace, will be done at the end of the
school year. It is too disruptive to try
and due while school is in session. Tom
Walsh was spoken too about this time frame and reports that doing during the
summer break is not an issue.
Brett-Project
list items and health savings money
The issue/question at hand is…can some of the
items on the project list be paid for with the money commonly referred to as,
“the Health Savings Money”. K Chambers
stated that these projects should be completed before June of 07. The basis for this is…there things are very
important and they could be done now.
In discussing the project list items, it was also
brought up that the new deconstructive testing, re high-walls, should not be
forgotten. That money should be left in
the health savings account, in case the walls need immediate repair. It was then asked if the cost of the testing
could be taken from the $80,000.00 budgeted for the Master Plan.
The following list, represents the projects that
the Facilities Comm. feel
warrant immediate attention.
Troy Install new interior in resource
room 676.50
Troy Magnetic door closers on third floor
1,969.00
Troy Redo small bathroom 13,200.00
Mt
Caesar Fix roof on “Pope” wing 5,390.00
Gilsum Courtyard 40,700.00
Mt
Caesar Fix siding 9,350.00
Emerson Fencing around septic 2,200.00
Mt
Caesar Drainage issue at front of
school 1,127.50
Troy Remodel reading room/moisture 35,200.00
TOTAL………………………………………………………………………………………………..$113,663.00
Motion: CD
moves…$113,663.00 be removed from the Health Insurance account to cover the ten
prioritized items from the Health and Safety Warrant Article. JK second. Vote. 4-0-0-1 (BF out of room).
Note: The
issue of the sixth grade being moved to the Ms/Hs should be on the full board
agenda—as this issue could have a substantial impact on the Master Plan.
Katie-Warrant
Article wording relative to Facilities Director:
K Chambers read a warrant article relative to this
and it asks for $94,953.79 to fund this position.
MC2:
Where does it go…It has been discussed and seems
most sensible to move this to the
Electrical
systems need to be updated.
Can
the septic handle a load of students.
Bathrooms
are not handicap accessible.
It
will need a sink and drinking fountain.
Wilcox would be/is in need of renovation. Modulars would have to be used to house the
present Wilcox employees/programs.
It is clear and was decided that we need more
advanced cost projections/estimates for renovating Wilcox. What is the present cost of a modular—2
classroom trailer.
Could these costs also come form the “health savings”.
