Topics of Discussion:
Meeting called to order at 6:05 PM.
Meeting minutes from the February 4, 2019 were reviewed and approved as submitted.
The group discussed the idea of Permanent Building Committee (PBC) liaisons for capital
projects and how they can assist. For instance, the security project will have a building
construction/renovation piece.
The Elementary Master Plan Enrollment Study will also yield a potential project that in the
end will have a building project for PBC involvement.
Pat Tompkins is interested in having the group act as a resource and assist Facilities.
The liaison would report back to the group on projects.
Pat Tompkins asked Bob LeLacheur to review the PBC's mission statement to see how it
aligns with the liaison idea.
The group walked the exterior from 6:30 - 6:50 PM.
The group went through the Barrows and Wood End assessments and discussed the
deficiencies.
The group noted the issue with the Wood End tile and the large gaps that exist. Facilities
will investigate the matter and report back to the PBC.
The narratives for the buildings were reviewed - Joshua Eaton In particular.
