The meeting was called to order at 7:33pm by Vice-Chairman J.Persano.

MBA---A motion was made (Klein), seconded (Cowles), and unanimously approved to submit MBA and Central Office drawings and plans to the SFU for review, state #1290035BE-EA (C.O.) and #1290033EA-RNV (renovations).

FF&E Cost Estimate Rev.1 for MBA and minutes from the tech meeting 10/6/04 were distributed.

The Special Ed temporary office space at SES falls under the MBA/CO project (CO move budget); there was much discussion about the cooling unit for this area. A price of $5-7000 is estimated, and the committee asked that an individual wall/window unit be used instead. We will go with the contract drawings as they are. Inserting a unit will require a change order.

SES---revised figures from Enfield Builders for cafeteria expansion were discussed, Option B, $160,000 plus $5750 for winter heat and protection, additional drawings, ordering materials and re-mobilization. D.Moser stated B.Boutwell’s figures show $244,000 left in SES budget (before cafeteria). Consensus of committee was to wait and vote at next meeting, after Chairman and others have reviewed costs and spoken with Enfield Builders.

T.Cowles stated Greg Genlot, who is doing mechanical work, has asked why Enfield Builders has not paid him; the Town has paid its bills to Enfield.

E.Zahner stated the roof will be in by the end of next week, addition will be closed in within 3 weeks, inside mechanicals are done.

SHS---discussion of roof lines. E.Zahner stated this was known “several weeks ago”, questioned why Chairman needed to be informed, stated progress on SHS has not been slowed down because of this issue, said it is All-Phase’s problem and they have been working with Steel Fabricators (who will cover any expense). Committee feels E.Zahner and others need to speak with Chairman to clarify when he should be notified of problems.

The 2 floors are in, sprinklers are in, outside walls are going up, working on winter procedures now.

Bills---requisition from Enfield Builders, lien waivers have not been checked, no vote taken.

Meeting adjourned at 8:34pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Joan Formeister, Secretary
