BUDGET MINUTES 2 JANUARY 16, 1997 <br />Mr. Cummings asked for the FT equivalent for custodians and Mr. Twomey <br />suggested adding that information to the narrative on page 6. <br />Dr. Harutunian explained because of the new additions at the Eaton and Birch <br />Meadow Schools each would have a .5 custodian and there would be one at the high <br />school. A feasibility study will denote where the distribution will be. <br />Mr. Stohlman stated it needs to be clear and should be explained that way. <br />The Superintendent noted that our carpenter retired this year and because the <br />Director of Buildings voiced the need for a HVAC person the carpenter position <br />was not filled. Dr. Harutunian offered justification for a carpenter. <br />School Committee reviewed the information that was provided and asked for further <br />explanation. <br />Chair Cavicchi left the room while natural gas was being discussed. <br />Ms. D'Antona raised a question about the cost of natural gas. Dr. Harutunian stated <br />that it did cost more than what we were told for Eaton. We should be able to get a <br />better price for gas now that we are bigger. He noted that there is less cleaning and <br />components for gas. <br />Mr. Cummings asked for the year to date figures for gas. Associate Superintendent <br />Richards provided that information. <br />Mr. Stohlman asked about the Asbestos Abatement Due to Heating Repairs for <br />$15,000 and if it would be included in the $1.85 million for the high school. Dr. <br />Harutunian said he would like to keep it in the FY98 budget. <br />Mr. Twomey asked where the vendor costs for Dr. Harutunian's November 20, 1996 <br />school recommendations were. <br />Mr. Stohlman said this needs clarification on what is being paid for through <br />maintenance. <br />
