Karen
mentioned in light of the comments at the last board meeting she reviewed the
meeting schedule. She noted that the committee had met 17 times since the March
election. 3 of those meetings had no quorum and 2 were held for delay while waiting
for committee members to arrive. And the public was informed both times that
the committee member was in route. Karen thanked the committee members for all
their dedication.
Public
Comments: Dick Bauries told the committee that he
felt the Gym warrant was a "lay‑up" clarifying when asked that
it meant that it would easily pass. Therefore, he felt that we should attach a
bigger ticket item to it. So "we would get something for our
trouble". He suggested we attach the roof. But he didn't clarify which
roof. (As a note the committee had already stated that
the gym roof would be part of this warrant. So it's unclear which roof Mr. Bauries was referring to) Karen clarified that she didn't
think any committee member said it would be a "lay‑up".
Discussion
on Gym Warrant Ron informed the committee that the ceiling was not currently a
problem structurally it was simply not visually pleasant. And there were no
good products on the market to repair it cost effectively. The committee chose
to leave it as is for now. Ron informed the committee that it was recommended
that the bleachers not be replaced but rather repaired. The cost of the repair
estimate that he has is 12,000. The totals for the whole warrant are now as
follows: Roof. $75,000 Ceiling: skip Floor: $90,000 Bleachers: $12,000
total ‑ $177,000
Ron
also told the committee about a new issue with the gym. Water is coming in
through degraded door sashes onto the floor. To replace all three double sets
would cost. $10,000.
The
committee added that to the Gym warrant. For a total of
$187,000. There has been fund raising for the gym floor and the total
raised so far is approx. $40,000 Which would be
subtracted from the total warrant article. Motion Colline:
2"d Jon Motion: To Bring to the full board a gym warrant article which
would read To raise and appropriate for the repair of the gym floor, roof,
bleachers, and doors/casings $187,000 minus the $40,000 already fund raised for
the gym floor repair for a total $147,000.
