JUNE 13 1995
THE SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE MET AT 7:36 PM ON
JUNE 13 1995. PRESENT WERE ROGER SANSTED, RICH RADVILLE, DAVE WILLIAMS, RUSS
GRAHAM, ROBIN DANTONA AND JOE LUPI. ALSO PRESENT WERE REPRESENATIVES OF
DESIGN PATNERSHIP AND DR. DELANEY OF THE PARKER MIDDLE SCHOOL.
DESIGN PARTNERSHIP AND DR DELANEY SHARED WITH THE
COMMITTEE PLANS AS THEY NOW STAND FOR THE PARKER PROJECT INCLUDING ANY
CHANGES SINCE THE COMMITTEE LAST SAW THEM. THE PLANS REFLECT THE INPUT OF
FACULTY STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION AND DO NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT THE PLAN AS
PRESENTED TO TOWN MEETING.
A SOURCE OF CONCERN TO ALL IS THE REALIZATION THAT THE
AUDITORIUM AS PRESENTLY CONSTITUTED IS NOT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE IN THE
BAICONEY AREA ONLY. WHILE THE AUDITORIUM IN GENERAL IS MORE HANDICAPPED
ACCESSIBLE THAN REQUIRED THE BALCONEY IS NOT. DESIGN PARTNERSHIP WILL LOOK
AT THE PROBLEM AND WILL REDO THE PLAN SO THAT THE BALCONEY BECOMES
ACCESSIBLE EVEN IF SOME SEATING WERE TO BE LOST.
A GROUP OF NEIGHBORS HAS SENT A LETTER TO DR DELANEY
EXPRESSING CONCERN OVER WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DURING
CONSTRUCTION. MR. GRAHAM AND DR DELANEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE GROUP AND WILL CONTINUE A DIALOGUE WITH
THEM TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AND TO ACT ON ANY OF THEIR
SUGGESTIONS.
DESIGN PARTNERSHIP AND ROGER SANSTED UPDATED THE COMMITTEE
ON THE JOSHUA EATON PROJECT. WHICH IS ON SCHEDULE WITH MINOR IRRITATIONS.
A CLERK OF THE WORKS HAS NOT BEEN HIRED FOR THE PARKER PROJECT
AND MR. GRAHAM WILL CALL ACTING INTERIM SUPT RICHARDS TO INQUIRE AS TO
WHERE WE STAND ON THAT ACTION.
ON MOTION OF ROGER SANSTED SECONDED BY JOE LUPI THE MEETING
ADJOURNED AT 10:05 PM.
