The meeting was called to order at 7:33pm by Chairman Roland.

Minutes of the 10/12/06 meeting were unanimously approved as presented (Cowles, MacFeat). It was stated that, after last month’s meeting, it was decided at the meeting with MBA Principal N. Barry to leave the project completion date as 7/07.

MBA—E. Zahner reported hoods are up in the kitchen. Apparently the area was built as a bomb shelter, with 10 ½ to 11-inch floors, so work has been tight. EBI expects to make the December deadline. Offices painted, 60 doors to be hung. Chorus and band rooms—grids in ceiling now.

H.Pearson discussed the list of Change Orders as distributed. With these, 89.97% of the contingency is spent, with 80.1% project completion. He suggested #82 might come out of FF&E; B.Boutwell will call the State to see if this would be appropriate. Technology Equipment Budget was also distributed, showing what remains to be purchased. A motion was unanimously approved for total of $9516.00 for PCO’s 77B, 82 through 87 (O’Brien, Cowles).

Meeting dates for 2007 were approved as presented, second and fourth Thursdays of each month, with the second Thursday being our primary day to meet (MacFeat, Cowles).

Contingency left for SES is $46,030.00 and SHS $76,866.00. J,MacFeat stated final work with enunciator panel at SHS has not yet been done; directed to submit bill for final $1100.00. A letter from Ed Sullivan, Town Treasurer, to B.Boutwell was discussed; there is concern that these 2 projects be closed out as soon as possible, as the State is retaining 5%. This needs to be done by December. BOF meets 11/20.
