READING SCHOOL COMMITTEE <br />READING, MASSACHUSETTS <br />BUDGET COUNCIL June 17, 1998 <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />Chair D'Antona called the School Committee to order at 7:33 p.m. <br />at the Senior Center. Present were School Committee members <br />Cavicchi, Dahl, D'Antona and Stohlman. Also present were <br />Superintendent Harutunian, Town Manager Hechenbleikner, Town <br />Accountant Richard Foley and Town Treasurer Beth Klepeis. <br />Chair Anthony called the Selectmen to order at 7:35 p.m. <br />Chair Keigley advised that the Finance Committee had met prior to <br />the Budget Council meeting and had already been called to order. <br />The Library Board advised that they could not call the Board to <br />order at this, time as they did not have a quorum. <br />PEAT MARWICK REPORT <br />Representatives from Peat Marwick gave a presentation on their <br />report regarding Reading Public Schools, Review of Custodial and <br />Maintenance Operations. After the presentation, the discussion <br />was opened to questions from the Budget Council. <br />Selectman Hoyt asked if the recommendation of contracting out for <br />all of the custodial services at a pilot school is implemented <br />would the custodians at the pilot school be shifted to other <br />buildings. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that there are enough openings so he <br />anticipates that no one will lose their job. <br />The Library Board stated their concern is that if maintenance <br />service at the Library is contracted out the current maintenance <br />staff does more than just clean, they perform ongoing maintenance <br />and questioned how that would be handled with a contractor. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that an RFP would be issued and the needs <br />of the Library would be written into the RFP. <br />Selectman Hines question whether the only solution looked at by <br />Peat Marwick was hiring additional help and if they had any data <br />on peer groups with less square footage and better results. <br />
