  I. Call To Order

      The Building Committee meeting was held at the Administrative Office, and was called to order at 7:15 pm by Chairman P. Omichinski.

 

 II. Approval of Minutes

      A motion to approve the meeting minutes of October 17 and October 24, 2006 was made by L. Sadler and seconded by R. Sadecki.  All in favor none opposed.  No additions or corrections.

 

III. Old Business

·  Progress Report  – F. Khericha reported he met with Cherry Hill Glass owner regarding a $4,759 charge for some trim work (discussed at the October 17, 2006 Building Committee Meeting).  Upon review, contractor dismissed the charge.

 

D. Fortin also brought up the subject of possible theft.  Emergency light fixtures in the gym and wiring in the guidance area were missing after demo work.  It is not known if they were actually taken or simply disposed of in the course of demolition.  K. Hunt has not observed, or heard of contractors/workers taking items.  If someone is found stealing, they will be dealt with.  K. Hunt stated it was not unusual for losses to occur.  D. Fortin also reported loss/theft of some power tools and laptops.  D. Lenihan asked for a list of items, and will check with insurer to see if a claim can be submitted.

 

D. Fortin also discussed the small room off of tech ed.  Rather than paint the floor (approximate size of 20’x 25’), recommends tiling it.  Estimated cost is $1,200.  D. Fortin to obtain quotes.

 

There was some discussion concerning the layout of the front entrance and the use of bricks, dirt, trees and shrubs to control traffic and aid in water drainage from rain and melting snow.  Back area needs to be cleaned up before winter.

 

P. Schwartz pointed out that in the 5th grade wing design, it was now discovered no water fountains had been put into the plan.  There was some discussion on how to handle this problem.  As water fountains must be handicap accessible, they are recessed into wall space so as not to stick out into hallways.  Because the fifth grade wing is almost complete, it would be difficult to cut into existing walls.  There is the possibility that a fountain could be placed in one of the larger corridors.  KBA to look into alternatives.

D. Fortin asked about the status of power in the maintenance garage.  Without power, custodial staff cannot move their equipment and supplies into that area.  The garage was to have been completed in September ‘06.  D. Fortin and K. Hunt will meet with the contractors responsible for completing the work.
