Public Comments: Dan Connell of Richmond – why are the public comments at the beginning of the meeting?  K. Cota informed the public that the public comments are at the beginning of the meeting but that she often recognizes members of the public throughout the meeting – as long as the comments are on topic. 

Ron Parent showed the committee blue prints for three different MPR’s  - two in the district -  Emerson approx. 5100sft  and Cutler approx. 5ksft- and one from Hinsdale approx. 4Ksft.

K Cota asked if the committee wanted to build any of these. 

 

Motion – Chuck Johnson - To ask the board for guidance -  to see if the board was interested in moving forward with a building plan at all.  Jon Kenyon 2nd.  Passed

 

Katie Chambers gave the committee an update on project funding list.  The School board approved 240,975.31, of which 214,565.02 was the 05/06 portion.  There is no funding for Master Key system at the high school (5K), replacement of the Surry doors (6k) – doors to be repaired for much less anyway, Emerson security camera ($700) , Troy paving 20K

 

Ron Parent gave the committee an update on Surry maintenance. 

Fencing and Parking – we own the dirt road.  Ron got 3 quotes to build more parking – Bell $7400, Brooks fixed rate of $5300, and Brooks to do it for materials and labor approx. $4100 – Ron spoke with Karen Cota about the materials and labor option and decided that since it was under the $5k policy to go with that as it was the best option.  C. Dreyfuss mentioned that there seemed to be a lot of traffic on that road.  Ron Parent will check the deed and keep Tim Peloquin in the loop as the Surry school board rep. 

Rug – a rug was installed in a classroom with asbestos tile floor which pulled up while cleaning/sealing.  Ron went out for 3 bids - $2176.00 Monadnock Flooring, Sids declined to bid, Carpet warehouse was close to Monadnock Flooring.  Ron went with Monadnock Flooring as it was the lowest bid and they could install immediately.

 

Wired glass was installed in two doors as per requested by a 2002 insurance survey as well as the most recent survey.   C. Johnson asked about tempered vs. wired glass.  Ron will look into state standard changes regarding this issue.

 

Electrical Drops – a quote for 20 triple receptacle and 20 double receptacle electrical drops.  (approx. 6k)  he was going to do further research but for now the school would work around what they have.  The receptacle for the server was done in house. 

Pat Bauries asked if 11K was going to cover everything in Surry?  Katie responded that all maintenance to date was within that dollar amount.

 

Jim C. asked who gave the authority to spend the 11K – he was under the impression that it would come before the board. 

C Dreyfuss stated that the 11K was for rent – rent was paid by the grant – grant spending has never come before the board. K. Dassau said he along with Katie and Ron discussed the issues as they arose and made the decision. 

K Cota pointed out that Dan Connell was taping the group, and asked that if he were going to tape to inform the group at the beginning of the meeting so everyone was aware of it. 

 

Playground equipment – Ken asked if Tim P. was getting a letter from the Surry PTO – K Cota said she would call and ask Tim for that letter for the next board meeting.

 

Griffin – Ken told the committee that there was a painting to replace the existing Griffin – K. Cota will place it on the next facility committee meeting.

 

 

Ron Parent informed the committee of emails from Margaret Thomas – a person from Frank Marinace  firm – regarding blueprints of Troy and Mt. C.   Ron informed the committee that we now have current up to date drawings of Troy and Mt. C. which is not something we had before.

Motion: C. Johnson moved to stay with the drawings we have received from Mr. Marinace and not ask for any further revisions.  C. Dreyfuss 2nd.  3 yes 1 no

 

Troy – ADA ramps.  Ron informed the committee that no one wanted to do the ramps at Troy.   He asked if the committee wanted Ron to get estimates for the sidewalk.  Ron informed the committee that we have $9900 to do something – he will bring back firm quotes.  K. Cota asked if we were ADA compliant currently – Ron said we were.

 

Karen asked for a list of project for the next warrant article.  Katie and Ron have been looking at getting a list together.  They will have something by Nov. 22.  and it will be Health and Safety related, things that got cut from the last list , priority order. K. Cota wanted to find out how we can group projects for optimum state reimbursement.

 

Ron asked if we wanted him to investigate Energy Audit options.   Ron and Katie are interested in finding someone who can help spec. out the vent system.
