Regular Session - 2 - January 7,1999 <br />Mr. Stohlman asked how this plan differed from other plans. Superintendent Harutunian <br />explained that it included Killam, Barrows and no portables. Mr. Stohlman agreed that <br />we should get rid of the portables. <br />Mr. Dahl asked how the base cost of the Ulam Project was arrived at. Dr. Harutunian <br />responded that it was an architectural figure received from Earl R. Flansburgh & <br />Associates, Inc. <br />Mrs. D'Antona stated that school bonded projects were at a 6 % rate of interest. Mr. <br />Twomey said that 6% was high. We have an excellent bond rating and the actual rate <br />would probably be less. <br />Mr. Twomey moved to recommend the January 5, 1999 Capital Plan directing the <br />Superintendent to deliver it to the Town Manager. Mrs. Caviechi seconded the <br />motion The vote was 4 -0. Mr. Stohlman abstained. (Mrs. Williams was not <br />present. <br />GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND LAND SURVEY <br />Dr. Harutunian invited Mr. Sid Bowen from Earl R. Flansburgh & Associates and School <br />Building Committee member, Mr. Russell Graham to the table. He explained the time <br />constraints on the Dividence Road Building Project. The SBAB dead line is March 1, <br />1999 instead of June 1, 1999. <br />In the planning of a project the Architect takes into consideration the school needs. <br />However, there are two things that are not known at this time at Dividence Road. The <br />boundaries of the land are not known and we do not know the topographical composition <br />of the land. A Geotechnical Study and a land survey would solve these two problems. <br />Dr. Harutunian checked with Town Counsel and was advised that it was legal to do this <br />before the January Election. <br />Mr. Bowen stated that The Topographical survey would show them how to deal with the <br />land so there will be no future conflict because the land composition does not change. <br />Mr. Stohlman stated that whatever the Town decided to do with the land, this survey <br />would still need to be done. Mr. Dahl asked if the money would be SBAB reimbursable <br />at a later date. Dr. Harutunian stated that it would. <br />Mr. Twomey agrees with the need and rational. The Town Engineer did not have the <br />information on the boundaries. <br />Mrs Caviechi moved to recommend Dr. Harutunian's proposal to transfer funds up <br />to S 18,500 from the Maintenance Budget to have the land survey and Geotech <br />Survey performed Mr. Twomey seconded the motion. The vote was 5 -0. <br />
