Monadnock Regional School District; Facility Committee Minutes

Unapproved Minutes 09-24-07

Present:  Karen Cota, Bill Felton, Tim Peloquin, Jon Kenyon, Colline Dreyfuss

Absent:

Others Present:  Brett Beliveau, Katie Chambers, Ken Dassau

Public Present:  Neil Moriarty, Dick Bauries, Jim Ells

Note:

Approval of Minutes:  Minutes of 09-11-07 approved.  Motion to accept TP and second by         JK, the line “they should be attached to the minutes, (they are not being retyped herin)” needs to be scratched.  4-0-0-1 (CD came in after this vote)

                                Minutes of 09-19-07 Same as above… Changed page 4, paragraph 5 (starts with: It was decided) needs to be moved to under paragraph 1 after the words “makes sense to do.” 5-0-0-0

Public Comments:  Mr. Bauries indicated that all comments should be recorded—that he, (as well as others), take their time to come to these meetings and often times have important things to say—so ALL of these comments should be recorded.  In line with that, Mr. Bauries also pointed out that his letter, as included in the minutes of 09-19-07—that references his comments during the meeting on 09-11-07, seems out of place—given that there are no comments attributed to him in the minutes of 09-11-07.  Mr. Bauries also pointed out that the word “Special” was used to described this meeting—this meeting, 9-11, was not noticed as a special meeting.

Editorial Note:  With regard to the word “special”.  This was not a special meeting, but a regularly scheduled meeting, the minute taker, TPeloquin, used this word to describe the meeting—in the correct context, the word means that this meeting had only KB issues on the agenda.

                        With regard to unrecorded comments…Mr. Bauries arrived almost one hour late for the 9-11 meeting.  His comments were not made during public comments and he had not been recognized by the Chair.  His comments were not on subject and therefore not recorded.

                        Mr. Bauries is correct, all comments are important and the committee very much appreciates the attendance of the public and in line with that, it is always the minute takers intention to capture and record those comments

 

Brett Beliveau, prioritization of the Project List

The list of proposed projects has been re-arranged and is now being presented in order of most to least pressing issues—Health and Safety issues are being addressed at the top of the list.

          MS/HS

It was decided that this list is to be left open until such time that it can be gone over with KB and there input can be gotten.

Brett will send them the list of proposed projects and we will wait to hear back from them.  We would also like to know what to do with the projects we have put on hold…including gym repairs, roof repairs and several smaller things.

          Troy

Everything on the list, EXCEPT for the following three things are going to be priced out….replacing 3 sets of double doors in the MPR, replacing single door in MPR and sanding/refinishing the stage floor.  The recent NH Fire Marshalls report has been incorporated into the list.

Other Business

       SAU Building

This building is already over-crowded; it is not thought that anymore work space can be added to it at this time.

MC2

Where could this program be run from if it needed to move—there is no place for it to go.

Troy Master Plan

Should all schools have a master plan…this will be looked into.

Facilities Director

          This is still being looked at/worked on by Katie C.

          Mt Caesar

It has been brought to the committee’s attention that this project has run short of money and that Betty Tatro has already spent $2,000.00 on it.  They are now asking for an additional $2,000.00.  This was discussed at length and is NOT a Facility Committee issue; it will be referred to Finance.

Next Meetings

October 1, 2007 and October 15, 2007 at 7.00 pm, these are for KB presentations/discussions.

Public Comments

       Neil Moriarty would like to know—have clarified, relative to Warrant Articles, does the F/C think that it will submit one article for MS/HS issues and one for other schools; or just ONE article for everything.  He also thinks that giving the $2000.00 for the playground is money well spent.

Meeting adjourned
