>> Excellent. >> Waiting for I know that >> I know I was absent from Oh >> yeah, it was too >> second. >> Two new people. >> It feels like a second. >> Don't get used to it.
>> Don't get used to it. >> Any questions, concerns, need for further discussion. >> Well, except I I'm looking. I guess I was absent as well, so I shouldn't. >> Good thing Tom jumped in. >> Yeah, >> I I think you can still make >> motion. You just can't vote. >> Just can't vote. You could still vote.
rule iron technically you're here today. Do we have people online that are with >> Kathy and Kim? Okay. So, so we'll do a roll call. Uh Mr. Crucial and I'm a Yes. Miss Blair, you're

>> Okay. Mr. Fenny online. Uh, Miss Lear, >> yes. >> Yes. >> Mr. Thompson. >> Yes. >> Christensen? >> Yes. >> Miss Collins? >> Yes. >> And Mr. Kimby, you are absent. Are you abstain? >> I am.
>> Okay. So, those are approved. The yeses have it. >> Yeses have it. >> Jimmy, do we have anybody from the community on >> thus
there or two? Did you anticipate it or no? >> He was invited. I can't speak. >> That's it. Okay. >> A response to the email. No. >> Just table this for now. maybe give them one more meeting to >> I think
>> deadline uh for the design team I think is September. But yeah, when we when we spoke in June uh about this issue uh Jamie I know that you brought it up um that you know ultimately Fontaine would need the documents probably five months at that time you were thinking Novemberish was kind of that that time.
So um I don't know if we fully explained what is necessary in order for that to happen. Um but the design team obviously needs to to do a fair bit of work um beforehand to to issue the changes over to Fontaine. So um we did talk about this meeting being that um final
decision uh date um because the November deadline for Fontaine documents that would be produced by the design team. So they need pretty much late September to November to get those documents if we were to make the change. I don't want to speak for your team, but
that's what we kind of discussed. So, I made it. >> We haven't done any design. We've only done feasibility discussions. >> So, we knew this was a big ask to begin with. >> Yeah. >> Right. So, I Ben, I stand corrected. Sounds like we should cross this one off.
>> Is this something we should take a formal vote on? >> I would be I would just leave it. There's nothing to vote on. Yeah. >> Go be it. Benjamin, you're up next. >> Thank you very much. All right, my monthly ritual of boring you guys first
before I kick it over to Fontan and JWA. Um financials, happy to report. Good. Um so we have a process with uh Pam and Laura uh which has been working great in terms of the the reimbursements. Um so you can see what you're taking a look
at. Uh the snapshot here is just our internal budget tracker which is a a summarized condensed version of um all of the project invoices that are received. Um so Scansa uh facilitates that. We enter all invoices as they come in. Um we uh then recommend or approve
uh them for the town and then and Pam and Laura uh do a great job of helping us out with processing them and then supplying the information that we need to enter to enter the um the propay request for reimbursement. Um, so once we get that information, uh, it's monthly. Uh, we submit that into Propay.
And so you can see invoice to date we're at 58,3 378,45. And then you notice there's a pretty big discrepancy between that and what's been submitted to Propay. The reasoning for that is we've had several large Fontaine uh, wrecks that need to go in. And it's
just kind of the timing of it, right? We need to process these wrecks um, and pay them and get the warrant information and then it goes in for reimbursement. So often times those uh wrecks are a couple months uh uh past when we finally uh receive reimbursement. Um so you see the
uh 25 million 374 542 has been reimbursed to East Long Meadow. If you're doing the math um you're noticing it's not coming up to your 61% yet. Um but that's because the latest RFR you notice at the bottom request for reimbursement has been submitted to uh MSBA is over $4 million and we're
expecting uh around $2.5 million in grant back on that. Um, and so those uh invoices are excuse me um all at this point basically eligible for reimbursement. I know earlier when I uh uh updated the committee uh explained to
you guys at some point that's going to change, right? Because at some point we're going to start hitting caps within um within the budget and it's all spelled out in the PFA bid amendment Tom that you'll be receiving uh soon. I'm stealing my own thunder. Um but basically there are caps within each of the categories within the construction
budget. um and we can go back and revisit what those are, but at some point here, and we projected kind of in the spring, um that's going to start dipping down a little bit. So, your your um you know, reimbursement rate is 61.95%. We always talked about that eligible reimbursement rate once that starts to
uh set in place. So, keep you updated on that. Um but yeah, all things are good. Uh we've had two change orders to date um totaling $475,423. We do have another change order that is kind of in the works right now um for
the fire pump and several other things that we hope to get uh approved at the next SPC me meeting. We're still kind of formalizing some of the the documents on that end, but that will um ultimately I think it was around 100. So all in all uh we're still under 1% way under 1% on
uh changes. Um so good there. The Fontana know your contingency has remained unharmed to this uh time. So, that's uh kudos to you guys. Um, so yeah, all good things to report on this. Any questions with the budget or the process? Again, kudos to to Pam and
Laura. They keep us on the ball every single month. We're we're putting in for reimbursement. Um, so we we'll help Fontaine spent some of that, though. She >> I shouldn't have uh >> just just so to summarize that that fire we had already talked about that was the
whole pressure out. Yeah, Stan is correct. Yep. Roger >> that. Thank you. Yep. and Yep. So the PFA bid amendment. So if you all recall, we're operating right now under a project funding agreement that was set back at schematic design.
Um so the PFA bid amendment once we brought Fontaine on board and they uh completed their buyout, well most of it, um we then need to submit their schedule of values and their uh GMP uh amendment with their full GMP to MSBA, which basically you know is actualizing the
the full budget um post bid. Um, so we're still waiting on that document. We sent it back in February. Um, but I do have it on good authority that is kind of with the last uh people who need to sign off on it. So we're expecting that soon. Tom, that'll go to you. Um, nothing that you really need to do other
than sign. Um, and we'll enter into propay, the new budget. Um, so we'll help you take care of that. Um, site visits, we had one yesterday. Uh, Gordon was on for that. It was a a positive meeting. It's uh rather uneventful. They weren't able to come out on site. It's
good when they get out cuz we were able to take them through the uh the building and show them the progress and all of that. But, you know, just summarize the construction activities for them and went through the deliverables and set up our next meeting on November 12th. So, thought it in the MSBA land. I should
mention that the commissioning agent who is contracted by MSBA for the project um we've been coordinating uh they've been on site regularly uh the building enclosure side of things. They've had two, three site visits at this point. Um, and we're just engaging the MEP uh,
inspections now. They've been um, reviewing submitts all throughout the project. Uh, giving the design team and our team feedback. U, but now is kind of that that time when it actualizes. They get out on site and they're doing their their testing inspections in the field. So, um, FST is the commissioning agent
and and nothing but good things to report so far. Fontaine off. >> The reports are on Procore. >> All on Procore. Yep. Yep. As are um the design teams inspections. Uh the site is regularly you know inspected by not only JWA and SMMA you
know all their consultants come through all the major disciplines uh MEPs structural all those things are saved on Procore as well. Any questions regarding financials or MSBA? Anybody want to come to November 12th visit?
They'll be on site. So you giving a tour, right? >> Maybe. I don't know. They were supposed to be on yesterday, too, and they canled last second. So, we'll see. >> Thanks for volunteering, Jamie. >> Good. >> Good. Yep. >> Mark, I think it's you. >> So, real quick, there's a lot going on.
We all know here. So, we uh kind of open the parking lot. Hopefully, it's working out for you guys. You know, the parking lot's going here. So out front still um tomorrow we're paving the top uh co course on the tennis courts just so you know tomorrow. Okay. So that's happening tomorrow. We'll kind of do that. Then we
got a cure time and hopefully for uh midocctober we're actually going to be putting down a tennis surfacing on that. Um we're working our way then once that happens we'll kind of clean up around that area to the to the existing t ticket booth for kind of paving putting a sidewalk in there and then on site we're actually paving the east road by
midocctober kind of brings us towards the parking lot. inside. Yeah. Inside and outside the building. We've got guys and people, you know, and girls everywhere working. The mason has now finished the loading dock north side of building D. And he's working himself around the building to clockwise. He's laying brick on the south side of D
right now and laying granite on on on E building. Uh, and that's working really, really well. As he's going through, I think he's getting a good system now. He's actually moving a little bit better, washing down the building. Um, inside we're building D1, E1, and D2 are all inspected. Inwall inspected. We started doing drywall on D1. We're
moving to E1 shortly. And then door frames are showing up today and then on Monday also. So we'll be able to actually do three sections of the academic wing. Um looking for inspection in E2 by the end of the month, maybe first week in October. Then that whole academic wing will be inspected, done, and ready to drywall right through.
We're kind of working our way through that. Elevators uh shipping showing up mid-occtober. So we'll start working on our elevator. Um and then we're also working as we work our way around. We're kind of poured the kitchen today. So, the kitchen's all installed and done. Slabs poured there. We're kind of working our way through the locker
rooms. That area is actually done in fire spray in building B. Um, we're going to start the block work in the locker rooms and within the main electric room within about two weeks or so and kind of clean that area all up. And in the gym right now, we're trying to work there before it actually get adds up as a storage area. Uh, sprinkler
is complete there. Um, our uh duck work is about, you know, eighth done, I should say. All the duck works on site, but now we're putting all the big mains spirals in and the plumbing's done in that area also. So, as we kind of work our way through, we're just kind of the rotation through the building. We're in building A, which you know in in your area. Well, not going to be your area,
Gordon, because you're not going there, but in that whole area, building A and around the side is that we're framing that the fireproofing is done there. We're sheetrocking electric room so the electrician get a good jump on that area there and kind of clean us up in those areas to kind of get a jump on pulling power. Generator showing up next month.
uh gear is showing up in the middle of February if everything's on track. Units are showing up in December. Windows will start uh early about the second and third week in October. So you'll see windows will start going off. So those are showing up too. Well, it's kind of a little bit of everything everywhere.
>> Does it make sense, Mark, uh with everybody here to talk a little bit about what it looks like? um you know cuz we've been talking in smaller groups around the schedule for this spring and how it's possible we get this fix
>> take it offline which allows you to start >> abading taking it down working uh connecting the suit >> right >> uh detention basin there's a lot that has to happen >> of sewage so >> yeah we have to start to look at um how what powers this building too and what
else is powers in the building so you have to get through that. If this is an option, you know, of taking, like we've talked about, maybe putting you, you know, you guys are displacing you as guys for a little bit to start that, that'd be a great thing. Um, the way it's going to look as the end of school year, like we've kind of just talked about is once you're the school's over
and you're out and we got disconnected power, we have people in here doing abatement and demo and it's going to start fast and furious. The way that like your office in particular, Gordon, is the building's not going to be ready for you because we're still receiving furniture. We're still working on final cleaning. We're working on flush outs. We're working on a lot of things that
are happening in the building. Testing fire alarms. I mean, all that stuff's happening next summer as we go. Ryan, we're going to need you over there because you're going to have to start programming your cards unless they all work the same. We got look at cameras and making sure they're aimed correctly. I mean, there's so many things that going to go. There's really not going to be room for you guys to kind of go in
there and sit down and and do something because there be too much things going on. >> You say that. What time frame are you talking about? >> I'm talking through June and probably end of August as we get to that area there. Right. So, all the way through June, July, right? And then we're >> August. Mean end of July. Well, I mean, no, we're working through. Yeah. So,
into August into August. Yeah. No, no, but I mean, >> end of August. Whoa, whoa, whoa. >> But, no, no, no. As as we get there, though, Frank, we're going to be still going and and substantial completion, everything. Substantial completion is a word, right? It's just, you know, the building is ready, but we're still making sure elevators inspected, everything's all turned over. You know,
we walk through the building department, the fire department is good, you know, the signage is good, all that stuff to make life safety correct. We have to make sure that's right. And to bring >> We don't get the occupancy permit at that point. We don't get the algorithm per not until Yeah. You will get the alchemy permanent at the end. We could
be in a good position Pam where we can bring in you know like Frank step because they have to learn and train right they have to learn the systems and so like we would bring in like his team and they might not have a place to just you know to call their home yet but we'll get them in there and they'll just you know again we can't come in and bring in a lot of times teachers want to
come in early. want to bring their kids cuz they don't have daycare or they want and all that stuff and then all of a sudden we're still working around the site because remember this building the access to the building is going to be insane, right? Because we're tearing the building down, but we're actually building the front entrance. So getting people in there safely and making sure they're they're geared correctly and
dressed correctly is a hard thing for us as we go through. We'll have the road kind of one of the reasons why we're working on the east road now. will have that role because that's where your FFD will be pulling in and all your furniture and that'll be your access for you know you know Frank staffing because the main building is torn apart right by
the time we build the detention base and we build that bridge and we start doing all the lighting and you know the EV all that stuff that goes from the existing building out is a lot that's going to happen and we can't do that till the building's gone. So you put that in together and there's no rest for us next summer, right? So
>> I want to add in the So then the flush out period >> flush out too. I mean >> that is when we there's a high scrutiny here is that mechanical systems have to a lot of materials in there, a lot of furniture that's offging. You want to flush the building out and get lots of
circulation of air through that building before it becomes fully occupied because all all the staff that are working there are kind of OSHA trained but right, you know, right are not really prepared for that. >> Right. As Dory's point, we're testing all equipment. We're testing the units. We're making sure everything's working and then they're running 24/7 bringing
in fresh air from the outside just to make sure we do flush out all those gases, excuse me, from all the furniture at that point for the most part, flooring, all that kind of stuff. Um, a lot going on, Gordon, right? to kind of bring, you know, and I know as we get closer, we'll have more conversations and see where we're at, but just knowing
the access to the building, you know, how do we get you inside and and what is it going to look like inside? And there's be nobody going to be able to, you know, furniture is still going there. We still haven't done final clean yet because we want to push people out of the way as far as crews are concerned, you know, get them out and moving to kind of clean up that whole area while we're working in the front of
the building. >> So, sorry, please. >> People, you know, um crucial to get in like some of your staff, you're referring to custodial. because I'm custodial and I'm trying to frank stuff have to you know food services all depends on we try to get them then in there early but we have to walk through
testing of the hood we have to make sure the anel system's good have to make sure health department comes through to clean all that up then we have to make sure the freezer coolers are on and we have to do them for a certain time to make sure we test those to contain the food then yes we'll bring them into that section there and that's where they need to stay right to work on that but it depends how much they need do they need
two weeks or do they need three weeks then we got to work that all together as a team because that's the only way it works team needs to come And you know you know let's say in the beginning of August we'll just pick that date for now right so his team needs they need to learn the building they need to learn the systems they need to learn that we'll be setting up training whatever trading metric matrix whoever they want
trained we'll we'll bring that through there custodial staff should be there and even if somebody like Mike wanted to be here the whole summer we can make that work and he can come in addresses construction I'll give him hard hat and he'll learn the building talk with the trades talk with the plumber know where the valves are right all that kind of stuff is huge for your staff at the end
of the day and I think instead you're going to relocate Most your staff, custodial staff or somebody like your head custodian should be with us for that summer just so he understands what's going on and where things are. >> At what point could I bring all of them back because I'd like them to learn systems too, you know? >> Well, they'll definitely be open for the training. We'll make sure any training
that they have, we'll send you that matrix, Frank, and you'll say, I want these guys there. And then as that gets, >> but remember when they walk in, you know, >> John Baros? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Anybody like that. But as you walk in, you won't have the summer clean you have here, right? And stuff
like that. We'll be taking care of that to kind of give you that >> I should expect you shouldn't expect >> right but to learn the systems absolutely we can have those conversations as we get as we get closer you know how that works but it's a lot of moving parts >> what about um the other offices so
central office would need to come in at some point >> so I think we talk with central office in the big picture right and depends what happens with you guys and if we kind of kind of relocate you I think that in my mind is it crucial to you to be here day one and that's up to you guys decision Or is it crucial you going
to move in when you're comfortable? >> Really crucial for >> I know you. >> I am. It will be. >> Am I going to look at you? >> I mean, it depends what we we do and how we find a suitable place for you, Gordon. Right. And where you guys are going to be this fall? I mean, it's spring. Excuse me. I'm trying to fall. Um, where you're going to be, right? And
how that's going to work, Pam, and where you're going to be. And if you're set up comfortably, do you need to make that mad rush where everything else is going on here, or do you wait till we're set and open and then you move in in September and you bring it in your own pace? That's something we can have a discussion about, >> right? Okay. You know, the question is, do you need to be in here with his staff
and everybody else >> and try to get set up and people are coming in when you're already set up someplace else and then your transition is a little bit better and more calm. >> The priority is to obviously prioritize my staff and getting the kids into the building and then if we have to take
that a little bit slower because we're focusing over here. Okay, >> that's how I see it. You guys can tell me something different >> if we had to. >> That makes sense. >> Ryan's staff is an interesting >> Ryan staff. Are they >> Jamie will talk about also you're not forgetting you back there >> the cross right they're technically involved in the school as well is it
>> we're going to if if it's not Ryan alone and he has a team then that team's going to have to come and help work with the electrician to kind of make sure your systems are up and running we got to look at security we got to look at the cards we got to look at all that stuff that goes with this you know it's going to he's going to be a big part of that you know so it' be like with Ryan's team
it would be you know Frank's team and then we can work him with how your team kind of makes >> sense yep Would it benefit to bring trailers on for their offices to go in like your offices and these offices? >> We talked about that, but trailers at Burch Park or trailers here, right? You got to look at where do we put them that
aren't going to be moved again 10 times because now we put them someplace. Now, a trailer is a box, right? And it's electrical that I got to pull someplace. It is not a running bathroom or it's, you know, what do you want to live in? We'll call it for that period. And to your point, Mark, if it's open to the
public and you put it out in the parking lot, you guys are going to have so much going on out there in that area, you know. So, >> how do I get somebody to come visit you, right? You know, so is it someplace else in town that we set a trail? We could look at that also, Pam, but we have to look at that to make it, you know, again, we want to make you comfortable so you you can function and then you
move back when it's >> could be an option. Yeah, >> sure. Yeah. >> Uh, what's that timeline look like? So when when I I hear you saying that it's going to help you out immensely if central office is out of here at some point. >> Mhm. >> What is that point? >> We were thinking April break. >> We were thinking April. We were thinking
April break. But I do think that to your point Mark, you guys need to come in and I know Brian was talking about it today to see if this is feasible first because Gordon, you brought up a good point that the boiler down here feeds some of the classrooms. So um first they need to come in and see, you know, what a shutdown to this uh annex would would
mean for the uh the building >> for the school. So >> where does the power feed from? Right. And is the is it after >> not even cold anymore? >> Well, yeah. If is it after >> after the winter session, we don't need heat, but is it is there air circulating? You know, do you have just air circulating with no you know what I mean? What is it? So, we need to look at that a little closer before I say, you
know, go and let's, you know, but there's a lot to do as you guys all know. There's no one's hiding any of that, but we just try to sequence it the best we can to make your transition a little bit better. Is >> that scheduled, Mark? >> We need to set that up. So, who should from the town at that meeting um to walk >> looking at the boiler? >> Yeah. >> Trying to get Brian beginning of the
week. Then maybe we talk about that beginning next week to try to get somebody in there. So, we can we can coordinate that with >> I don't want to send you an email with Brian's information and then we can rather than try to figure it out. Now, >> John Baros uh and I would have Michael, >> I think. So, just take a look and see what feeds whatever. But that's, you know,
>> are we saying we need to just wait and see if if we can do this or we're saying we're going to do it. It's just what it's going to take. >> Both, right? if it's something that's undertaking that we have. Well, it is because gas lines underneath. I don't know what's feeding it. I've looked at some of the older drawings. I really can't tell enough. I looked need to look at them a little bit better.
>> You know, what does it feed? Does it feed the power? Can we get the power from someplace else? How much power do you need? I mean, that's the feasibility we have to look at, right? >> They're going to try to get creative, Steve. But if the if we can't shut down the class, if we can't do it because it affects the classrooms, then you can't do it. Don't ask Gordon to leave or anybody leave. How much does it be on
that >> even then >> end of school Gordon the the district offices can't operate your >> that's right >> need and then it's then it's a hectic time for you because you got all your files on where you're going with them how you set up and where you live in the summer
>> you know maybe it's Tom's garage I don't know >> I think in a perfect world either way we're kind of vacating this building whether we can completely shut it down or not because even if we just get people out of here and let's say a system needs to still run we can start debating around that system as long as >> meaning the annex.
>> Yes. >> Yeah. As long as we kind of get everybody out of here like obviously >> the challenge um that we're finding is >> I know >> summerland probably could house most offices central office student support services
high school office. However, if we're moving folks in April vacation Bland is operating as a school coming out of April vacation. So maybe they can handle student support services and uh one other small group. Um and so it's
finding without making it multiple moves, >> right? >> Finding a home for everybody. >> How many when you say everybody, how many people do we need to find a home for? >> 12. >> Uh yeah, 12 to 15. >> 12 to 15. >> But but you're setting up offices that
are >> public facing. Yeah. you know, like student support services has to be accessed by the public. Uh central office has to be placed somewhere where, you know, even if we're in a bullpen setting, you know, we're able to be accessed by the public and Wi-Fi and, you know, have
a phone system, which I know Mr. Quimby will take care of us. But, um, how you feel about 3:30 Chestnut? >> Just kidding. >> I was wondering, what about the >> Tom? back is machinery.
>> There you go. I'm just kidding. >> property. >> I mean, I know that the there's not sewer stuff there, but maybe you got to do like the toilets inside porta potty, you know, that kind of a No, but you know how they have the real >> I know, but I think we could put it on a school before we put them out in the on the farm.
>> No, I mean I think >> Thank you. >> They got me on the farm. >> Yeah, behind the barn. Don't you worry. >> Right. >> It is town and Yeah. Right. Well, so basically we have to plan for April for the annex. We'll plan to get out of here
by April and whether we could take the whole thing or not. You're going to start >> way I think the transition for them next fall is better if they're someplace else and then try to work out of >> thinking trailers or leasing space then we'd have to look at budget >> and do we have any idea the cost of
those? >> Depending what you need you have to give me your parameters if it's 15 people what we're looking for have this conversation. >> We can six or seven. I was gonna say we can probably pick off a couple and be strategic about things. >> Yeah, I think we can get student support services hopefully into virtually. >> You know, I'm sure we can maybe work
>> and set them up there. >> You know, there's probably people we can pick off space in person. We can move student services and payroll comfortably. It's office here. >> Is work from home an option for anyone? >> Don't necessarily need >> this. Can anybody work from home?
>> I think there are some, but there's >> No, you can't. >> We need a not on a on an everyday basis. doesn't feel like it anymore. >> Public facing. Yeah, >> you can do whatever. >> But I think there's a at least two or three off the top of my head. I feel like we could find space for here >> in the building. >> Yeah, I think in April the old
superintendent wing would be easy for us to move out of too because at that point we're wrapping up all of our meetings and Kevin's been displaced before. So, >> and then that's fine, but then we still have to move somewhere. >> No, I agree. >> April we could move there, but then June
12th we're moving again. But we still have to find something. >> And that's what I'm trying to say. Your one transition accurate. >> Makes more sense if you're trying to deal with the public. >> Do trailers usually cost less than leasing commercial space? >> It depends what it is. We can get a trailers by the month. But then you also
have to look at hookup and you have to look at and servicing for the bathrooms if there is bathrooms. There's a lot of things that go with that, right? And where you going to get the power because depending where you set up, you got to pull the power from someplace. And so that setup if you find a place that'll give you something a month a month for a few then we can look at that. I think
we're going to look at how many people we'll look at that and then put our heads together and let's look for some spaces >> and if there are spaces probably in industrial >> park perhaps if we were toilet be able >> designated for us >> so it depends where the electrical room is to how how do I get power through a
building that's existing you know I can't tap into a transformer outside coming from an electric which is a gear right so you have out of the gear and where do I put it y >> through a building through a wall through a hole >> right >> you know so we got to look at all that or can I or is there overhead wires I can tap off of that and come down from that it's another area depending where you locate them. Right. But also it
needs to be something like almost on the parking lot where where somebody can come and visit them. >> Exactly. >> Space in the old in the um west side of the building that's going to be here until September. The classroom wings >> do I have uh
>> available space this side of the building? >> No. >> Okay. It's that side. >> I think it's No, I think it's going to be like I can I have an office here and little little things, you know, >> pockets. >> But that's all leaving in June though. But those will all disappear in June. Yeah. So, we want to do one move. >> Yeah. About like if we're looking to try
to cover certain roles to reduce the number of people we have to place to just make that displacement more manageable for everyone, you know. So, if you guys are looking at 10 spots instead of 15, you know, >> like one of the people Frank mentioned on a pretty much a 10-month contract, so
she doesn't need to worry about >> some Yeah. But and she also has more of a counselor role um like the MECO coordinator, right? So like I could I could find a space my building um because she works with our kids and bounce around to the other schools anyway, you know.
>> So stuff like that. I think if we maybe peel one off here, one there 10 or 12, >> we could we could produce that number. >> Makes me, >> you know, it'll make it >> Yeah, I mean we we've identified >> maybe you could go >> the maker space, >> you know, the maker space room at Berlin. Yeah. We've identified that for
student services potentially. >> And so there's how there's five right there. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> But it's central office that we >> it's >> Yeah. >> How many people is just a central office staff? >> Five on a regular basis. Yeah. >> Because we Tammy and
>> and Tammy and Laura. So seven, >> right? But we identified somewhere in person for them, right? As well. >> Yeah. I mean they haven't seen it yet. conditioning in that identified a lot of things go see it that it changes have to figure
out something. >> All right, we'll work on the April then. Now we know we got to do it. >> I mean I I work with them so close that I'd rather be with them to tell you the truth if I could have them. >> What if you utilize the whole library >> and the summer li be able to do that
during the school year? >> We'd have to move again. But if you kind of thought of moving some of the library services into say >> they that library gets >> library it's pretty active >> get used a lot >> amazing >> all right >> and and what do you need to bring with
you Pam that's the thing too what do you need for space with you what are you bringing with you are you bringing files or what are you bringing you know that's also got to be in you know >> right yeah my spreadsheets >> not even the space computer >> also getting we're not looking at just people
I mean we're have five people you might have, you know, unbilling the rooms of stuff >> to talk to the staff about exactly that, what what does their footprint look like, right? So that we can get a better handle on our needs. So we'll continue to do that and get that to you. >> There money budgeted for I know moving
but not necessarily temporary housing. >> That wasn't necessarily uh there's a um an other category for $100,000, but it wasn't necessarily thought of that we were going to be doing this. So >> Okay. >> Um >> this would be this would be other though. But this would be other. >> It definitely would be other.
>> Classify as other. So >> classify as other. >> What are our next steps? >> I will say just to chime in just because about moving the annex. We're also talking about moving a few other classrooms down here as met with all the teachers this week. Uh we're already starting to map out where we potentially
move. So they know it's coming. They know that they're all pretty good right now. We're expecting to kind of roll with it. >> Bringing vocal music with us. >> Okay. I've been next to him for 16 years next to me before I leave. >> Yeah. So, um we already kind of have
some ideas where stuff could potentially move. So, you know, those three space the the three academic spaces down here already accounted for. >> So, great. >> I think the next move is see how many people see what you need for a footprint and then we start looking and where are we going to do
>> say Ryan? >> Where's it? So, I mean, we also have to >> it >> it where they're going to go. >> Well, he's good until June, though. You're good, right? >> June 12th. I mean, he's got to move >> weeks, right? >> And assuming we'll probably get 300
Chromebooks and then we have to >> I was thinking about I'd be like moving summer, >> right? >> I think it's >> Yeah, >> industrial park might have some too. Let's put them all up. package machinery is looking looking
better. Old fire station >> does just street right >> in there. >> Yeah. >> Got a shot, right? >> All right. So, next steps would be we have to finalize footprints and needs and uh solidify what we're using in
Birchland during the school year and what our other potential insights will be. I'll start making a couple calls and places I know might have some space. >> All right. Thank you. >> Church on Parker Street that used to be a school. It's now not a school all the
way at the end. They have to have offices there. Can they rent that? Is it rented? >> I don't know. That could be a call. >> Have a school there. >> Congregational church has that whole upstairs annex.
>> That that's on my list. Just give me the loop because we will have to get connected at some point. >> Yep. >> The church on Westwood when the library was getting redone, they housed the library. >> Really? >> People are will Yeah. Yep.
>> put a trailer up there and off they went. But they've got >> I don't know any >> solar. >> Yeah, they do. I don't know if they got some. >> So Tom, sounds like this is yours for the immediate future. >> I'll make some calls. Yes. >> If we do consider the trailer though, how would we go about that?
you give me parameters and take it from there. But we need to know where it's going and I have to look for where we all >> would do a recommendation as to where it should go in terms of what town property >> air access is what I'm worried about. Right. So there has to be some point in like almost a parking lot, right? What school or what you have for a parking
lot that's going to work there >> next to a transformer with an empty w that goes with it. I mean, besides that, >> other than that, >> anything else on the CM update? >> Did you want to go through some of these? Yeah, >> some of the stuff on where we're at. You
can kind of see, you know, so right in here, it's just kind of where we're at right now. You can keep going. You can see a couple that's the mockup. So, if you haven't seen the building, have a chance to go look at the building. That's the actual >> move in here. Gordon office. I tried moving them in there. They're going to have Ryan to get some power to
>> bodies right around it. Good. >> No waiting. >> So, that's kind of the mockup. We're kind of working on the different colors of brick and then, you know, and how that, you know, kind of works with all the paneling and everything else. >> I don't know if you're getting there, Mark, but is the exterior of the um uh
bathroom concession stand brick as well, cuz right now it's black. >> That's it. That's it. That's the finish. Yeah, that is the finish. >> Polish block. >> It's just not polished yet. >> Polished. Is it
>> got going on there? >> So, this is in August. You can see we've done a lot more a lot more AVs going on. The building in the the front part there is building E. Mason is now installing uh insulation. The building to the right is obviously building D and the brick is already going up. There's about like I
said over a third and up on the building in the back in the background is a gym that's all AVD with the uh silver um aluminum aluminum clad uh AVB and then it's actually that whole roof is on the back too in the back part there by the gym area. So pretty much the building is
all tight as far as the roof and there's the parking lot there. The loop there you see there that is that's not complete because it actually goes just about into the building where the small uh gym is in the wait room. So that loop next year once that building comes down we'll a little bit bigger
oval there so it be a little bit easier for that but you can kind of see the parking lot taking shape >> utilizing that loop >> and you're utilizing that loop. >> It's been great. >> It's working. No >> Tori someone brought up to me there are no um walkways through the parking lot.
Is that to change or meaning you know how some spots are striped for walkways? There's no direction to go >> the So the walkways they're they're >> there's sidewalks in there >> sidewalks for >> but if you got out of the middle your cart in the middle and you're either
going you know I didn't bring it up >> striping on >> someone came up to me and said you know I was trying to walk through the parking lot I couldn't navigate it. I didn't >> stripes >> well it used to be wide open. I don't know. I'm just asking is this it or >> right that is that is a design right there and what happens is you walk you know any sidewalk you hit will dump you
to a to another sidewalk where it gets you to the stadium or back to the school but >> Eric goes on the call >> and we're we're going to be but there are passageways that are not kind of fully baked in here >> like I would imagine coming through there would be some a ramp and a
sidewalk cutting right out towards the building instead of having to transverse around the peninsula >> though at the end of the A right when we're done this right that whole area by the loop is all concrete all >> so wherever you go in that whole area you'll be able to walk right into the
main building. So all that is a large plaza if you look at the at the rendering or you know at the end of the day. So where the air they have designed that that whole top of that parking lot where that loop is that's all concrete right into the main building. >> So foot traffic coming out of there will naturally flow west. >> Yeah. >> And south. >> Correct.
>> Instead of straight south. >> That's correct. Okay. Yes. And depending where you go and that big loop is done that is all concrete in the front and then you have the bridge going over the detention basin. Yeah. Yeah. >> There's a slide further on that looks at the site plan. So we can look at that question about there's additional
walking that connects um sort of islands of parking. >> Right. There's usually a natural path to get Yeah. Right. >> So this is the north right by the loading dock there. So this masonary is done. Now we're actually washing it down and moving itself around there. But so that masonary there is all complete. The windows, like I mentioned, are coming in
like the first week of October. Um, so hopefully we'll get them started install by mid-occtober. >> I like those redstone bricks, >> the accent ones. >> They're perfect. Yeah, >> they even sharper when it's washed down. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And then the the the
feel different pattern difference. It's adding a lot to >> Yeah. >> And and the pool the pool is moving forward here where we're actually working on the underground electrical for all the lights that are in the pool for the timing system. They'll be done with tomorrow. We'll kind of clean it up and back fill in the plumb. We'll start
with the trench drain. And once that trench drain is done and set, then we'll be looking at pouring that slab probably by mid-occtober. And then we'll be ready for the measure. Interior, like I mentioned, build D, we're starting interior sheetrocking. MEPs are going up. Um that's building
looking down quarter in building D. So you can see the black line. Those are sprinkler lines. The ducts installed, refrigeration lines are above that. Electricians all done in all tied in there also. So that's all complete. And you can even see that they're actually, you know, wrapping insulation on the
ducks. And insulation is going in too. >> Okay. >> Thank you, Mark. >> Aside from the annex and that whole mess up topic, >> what else has given you pause? >> What else is giving me pause? How much
time do you have? I mean, it's it's all moving forward. We're working uh diligently as a team looking at what's lead, what's getting pushed back, what's getting approved, you know, as the as they approve, what we need, making sure it's ordered, making sure we're doing a follow-up, all that stuff, you know, see if we just
kind of keep moving through, right? Um it's a lot that we're doing and I think we're funneling, right? You know, it's just keeping the pedal on for the next >> You got a lot of workers. We've done hundreds of quies. >> Yeah. We we're at about what's today? 107 80. Yeah, >> right in that area. We're trying to push
and of course like 20 more, 30 more, you know, depending what trade we're at, trying to push them up. Trying to push up our carpenters now. Trying to push up a lot, you know, because now that all the drywall is opening up, I'm hoping I can start banging out that whole um academic wing so we can start the tapers and then the painters and then it comes to the finish traits. You know, I got mil work we got in case work showing up
sometime in December. We're trying to work that in to make sure these guys are out of the way into the next section of the building. So, there's there's a lot going on. We just can't have any hiccups. So everybody's working and great as a team. So it's all good. >> Is PV gonna be done when the building is done in next June? Is that go on?
>> Good question. I um I don't know. I would say I would not give it the highest odds to be honest simply because the process of getting the utility to sign off on everything is a slow process. Right now that's actually all in their hands and their design review. >> So that gives me pause and PB in general
as a as a supply chain issue is is like is one of the harder things to get delivered. And we've had many projects that were everything ready and sitting there in National Grid. It's a year later for to make you, you know, too nervous. That's what happens. I mean, we're sitting there ready and then all of a sudden say, "Oh, we want something else." And to her point, you know, we
got to go back to National Grid and provide what they need. Probably be on the roof, but the two-way meter won't be going. That's where >> in terms of what the town can do, Greg, we've been Tom's been doing everything on his end. We've been keeping the application going. It's really just I believe the meeting with the utility
service at this point to see what the construction phase >> and we're covering those up from the front of the building, right? >> Don't even >> you make a design choice on that. It should be a design choice. How's about we leave it at that, Gregory? >> I'm okay with that.
>> Okay. >> I think about it often. >> You think about it often. >> Do I I read that comment as possibly a little chitchat with National Grid might help? I was just saying no, I don't think so. I think we're actually in fine. Um I think you guys we don't have
any uh indication that this is taking any longer than it should. I think you just say that Mark because it has. We can certainly look into it with them. I think um Stella maybe could. >> Yeah. I mean we the regular Stella and John are constantly in you know and if there's they have it's like you feel
like it's a game because they'll suddenly put it on pause and they'll notice and be like why is it on pause and >> back into the review again. So, yeah, >> it's just constant. >> We get one of those emails twice a week. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Your application is on pause. >> Let me check in with them and see if that would benefit us at all, but I
don't mean to cause any uh Okay. And I think we're okay. >> Yeah. >> Everything has a 12step process and each step has like a Oh, we have three weeks to accomplish this step and then they send you back to the step you were before after 3 weeks. It just >> But that doesn't interfere with kids getting into school. >> No, no, no, no. That's true.
>> Oh, and permanent power. I don't know if Bill on that. So yeah, permanent power which we're in great shape which is normally doesn't will happen right. So what we have for national grid is already got the meter set in the pole by us changing our secondary because originally the primary is coming right to the building. So we kind of work through the the things to make the
secondary all the way up to Maple Street. So primary from national grid stops at Maple Street and from there it's underground into our building. So right now >> get away from trees there might be >> next to the big it's right next to it. So, um, the wires on order. We expect
that another week or so. I'm thinking that we're going to have power on our side by mid-occtober, which great, >> right? And then we control that. So, now we still need the gear and everything for the building, but we'll have power to, you know, on our side, right? So, it's all secondary from there. Then we
control once the gear comes, we can line up, not waiting for grid, not waiting for us to all this kind of stuff. So, let's do it. And >> Pam, sorry, Beth, to your point about uh, you know, just overall utilities that are needed for the school to open up. I know Verizon, I think you're in good shape, too, with the telephone lines and all of that. Um, technically,
we have gas into the, you know, Eversource involved. So, all those things are going well. Uh, the PB is just kind of the outlier, but we'll check in and, uh, let you guys know. >> Okay. >> Yep. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> It's scary to see the word design,
right? because we're in construction, but uh uh there are some design issues still remaining, but we're working through uh on an FF. This is one of about 40 pages um that were reviewed last week with a subcommittee that's looking at uh furniture finishes and
we're reviewing the final selections on colors. And it was a kind of a complicated process because this is just the the furniture. So, the furniture sits within a building and the building has all these other finishes. So, I I brought a couple slides just to kind of help remind you of that. Um, and we can
flip through more of the furniture, but this is showing you just an example of one single um um room and the content in that room. And it's a little it's a little hard to follow. You got to use your little imagination, but basically the goal here is that the the student desks throughout the school um will all
be um a wood laminate, a laminate top that is maple in look. Um, and then the the legs generally you have a gray and we have a couple different shades of gray going on throughout the school. The chairs also have a gray look. And part of why there's a uniformity to that is
so that they can move throughout the school and you won't have a clash. So this is a very neutral palette because it's within a pallet in which each wing has an accent. So that that's kind of why that's intentionally done that way. The teacher chair is consistently the same throughout the school. Then some
things are unique and they vary a little bit based on again each manufacturer is different. Um so this is just giving you just a little bit of a glimmer of of of some of the materials and we have specific swatches for all of this and you can actually all if you ever want visit us at JW to see specific um
finished materials but this is all based off if we're in Boston and making sections. So, um, so we did go through all of each room throughout the school and review that with that subcommittee in order to be able to okay, um, Stfura going forward and and putting the
procurement documents together, which are really important because their next step is to meet with Pam to prepare those procurement documents so that they can go out to bid. Um, and what we were talking about today is being sure that um that uh when they're ready for your review, we're also simultaneously having
Stansa and Fontaine review them because we want to be sure in that process of procurement, we're also talking about all the things associated with the move in and when furniture is touched and and how it's being brought in and all those things. So that those documents have to be very complete in that regard as well.
Um and then that'll move forward. So um the committee had no problems in general with any of this. There were a couple things that were, you know, addressed, I think. Um, but if you go to the next slide just to talk about the one thing that came up, um, was that, um, this is, remember, this is almost 200,000 square
feet, right? You know, so it's a big building and it can seem like a lot of color to see so many different things. This is just showing you some of the paint and uh carpet and uh some of the tiles, but just to help you understand a little bit that there's a a sort of a
the impact of accents and colors in different areas of the building. So, this is the first floor and a reminder that the the district offices, admin, and guidance are all a kind of calmer um blue grays. Um, uh, you have the gym,
which you can't really see the colors there, but that's where the the pop of true Spartan red and gray are, um, similar as the pool. Um, you have a more of a a slightly more warm reddish tone in the auditorium and that seating fabric um, and the carpet. That's a
darker space because of our um, theatrical experience with a lot of wood in it. Um, and then you move from there into the academic wings and you have the four wings each with their different color. And the idea is that the left wing um the west wing is green at the bottom and the floor above it is blue
and they have the open stairwell that connects them. It's a light blue. Second page and the right is has a red accent with a a kind of a yellow on the gold floor above so that when you see those two they kind of collaborate well. The middle is a lot of red in the cafeteria.
Um uh um we did go through that and the seating on that and the LGI gray carpet with um red chairs and we're trying to keep those red because the LGI chairs are likely to wander into the cafeteria and back again. So we have loose chairs in both of those spaces. We
have a chair storage room. So we wanted to do that. And there was one question we're going to render out. Uh so a different look cafeteria may be a mixture of chairs. Um, so maybe they're loose red chairs and then the the built-in that are part of the tables
might be um black. There's typically not a gray. So people were interested in seeing a variation on that just to get a look of what how that's going to feel. I'm bringing all this up at greater detail than normal. Um because uh Frank was was I had done a presentation to
faculty and there was a little concern if you go to the next slide um on the next floor the yellow and we did a fly through that showed and that one really kind of popped out um uh as maybe was that too much yellow and it was largely I think because there's a reaction to
the fact that there's a lot of yellow block in this school that people are tired of. So I think there was a little bit of a like you know hangover effect of that and concern about that that um that yellow. Now the tile this was already been shared before. So we felt
fine about our floor choices and commitments to tile and this is a moving process. So those are committed to but we don't want to go forward to the paint process without being sure that everybody's comfortable with it. So we're bringing that forward as an idea um just as a discussion point. Um, so
again, as you can see, the left over the green, you have that light blue. Um, and there is some connection between the two, so you're not just going to see that. We have some of the soft furniture in the teacher planning room in some rooms kind of plays on that cooler quality, some on the warmer quality. So,
there's some differentiation. Um you have some unique rooms like you have that bright blue or sort of bluish floor in the middle of the um the uh e-wing uh second floor is the STEM room which is a unique classroom. So there's some very specific areas that for material reasons
have their own thing. The uh media center has neutral largely neutral coloring because the furniture carries more color there because we have more soft furniture. So, it's got a lot of um kind of rusts and and um it's got a nice mix of things. Yeah. From sort of, you
know, yellows to rusts to um oranges and um to kind of blend in with that nicely. So, uh if you go to the next slide, this just we after that meeting, we went ahead and rendered this because this we felt might help. Um, and this is showing
a typical classroom with your typical furniture in it and your typical approach to the accent. So, the accent isn't on every wall. It's only on the outside wall. Um, and the tile is on the entry that you pass through. So, if you're in the hallway, you're seeing
largely that protected um, uh, neutral tile that's protecting the wall. You have gip that's whitish off-white above. Um, you have a wood door that's maple. You have maple in the classroom. You have case work that you can't see because it's behind the wall um in there. So, you have a lot of maple. You
have a um a fairly neutral lun floor. And then the accent that brings the color into the room is that outside wall. And we put that there because the light is bouncing off the other walls. And you want to use as much daylighting as possible. All that doesn't matter for daylighting is the outside wall. Mhm.
>> Um so, um so this is kind of just to give you a sense that if you're a student and you're moving around, you're going to see hallways throughout the day. You know, you're not going to be hopefully stuck in one hallway. Um but as a teacher, you're teaching in one of these rooms. >> Our hallways always were colorcoded.
It's like, you know, like I know in the school I'm in, it's all the same color and it does get a little monotonous. Um, so really I would have thought if you threw pink up there people would be upset, you know, kind of, >> but um, >> you do run out of colors eventually. >> I I for myself I don't find it, you
know, there's one color on that palette I wouldn't have picked, but I think that it's a variety. And, you know, I think calming colors for the special ed situations and things like that are the best. >> But >> I think they are calming, too. I think they're calming colors, right? very
natural rather than primary. >> I just painted my front and side door that yellow and my mailbox. So, I'm a fan of the It looks I think it's cheery bright. >> Exactly. >> Um, >> so was the what wing's that going to be?
What classrooms are going to be in there? >> So, again, that's um uh east uh wing second floor and the school is largely um more interdisciplinary. So, you have two science labs in there um and you have a mix of classrooms. You do have
business one we zoomed into walk through happens to No, actually that's first floor. That's that's the floor right below. Um so it's a mix of classrooms. >> Um no and then again the the rooms
internal to those wings get we were going to do all of the walls in the color but I've changed that to just an accent because I I felt like it was going to be too much. >> Yeah. And that's what I thought you guys orig to do. And I I don't just like it. And it is paint. So >> not like it's
>> so the tiles on the outside of the room with the color. >> Yeah. Yeah. And they're not they're they're a nice um they're really interesting. They're vertical, narrow, matte. Um they're just they're not sort of uh pedestrian at all. They're very nice. I don't I wouldn't worry about
that. Um the bathrooms have a much more kind of mixed color. They're gloss that can clean real well. and are not very strongly colored. >> So Dory, we already have the tiles. So if you were going to change the color of the room, >> you'd be limited because you have to be
sure it's compatible. >> And was this the entire staff that was concerned or the subcommittee of folks in the design? >> I got a few different comments from people about about the yellow color. I'll just say I'm not a huge fan of the mustard. >> Okay. Um,
>> you're more of a pet. >> Sure. >> Mustard. >> Yeah. So, but I also said this to Dory and everybody else, I am just one voice, so I'm not going to dictate things, but I at least want did want to, you know, >> what's the color you would switch it to?
>> Well, I think the only options are to go more neutral, like you would go to a I hate to say beige, >> but uh gray >> um uh would be an option, but then it will feel really out of character with the others. So, you could go to duplicating the red but changing the
tone a bit, but I I worry a little more about the that is a darker the darkest of them. And I I'm kind of not eager to do that. One thing I thought it might help um is that I I carefully walk the video walk through again to see and I do
think that at the end of the corridor we have the stair that connects >> and I think that that light if we could paint all of that white so that the sense of like yellow isn't overwhelming in there. And then then you're really just experiencing it more as an occasional thing. I don't think it would
be it would feel as heavy. And August was with me today and I was looking that thinking that might actually >> take a little bit of that out. If >> you have a brighter spot then at the stair >> lighter spot there. >> Like I said, I'm just one voice. Um, so
if other people are good with it, >> then you just tone down the like you have the tile on the outside and just make it a like a >> shade different. >> Maybe the PT D and the P3D colors there.
So in order to keep it from being overwhelming, we do have two two colors that are occasionally coming in. And predominantly it's the P3D, the lighter one. We could just I mean if you're finding one is more objectionable than the other, we could kind of um shift the
whole pallet to slightly lighter. >> Um >> which one would be on which of the two would be on the classroom wall? >> Um well, currently in that plant is going to be the PTD, the darker one. And then the interior spaces, we're going to have the lighter.
>> That's the neutral. >> You can change it. >> P3D. Do you like the P3D better? I like the lighter of the if I I was choosing one of the two sound, >> you know, >> you did that and then just say that you
were talking about what's >> might be better. >> Okay. >> And that's Oh, you mean that? Yeah. >> A trapezoidal kind of at the end of the you can see that. >> Okay. >> Color now, but that would be >> Yeah. And I would honestly advocate for the lighter of the two and all the
hallways to be the more predominant of them if that's if that's something we possibly do. Just if you're doing it in one, you should probably try to be consistent, right? >> Oh, for all the colors. Um >> I'm probably if I'm being a pain in the ass, I'm going >> I I'm actually kind I've been generally eliminating seconds along the way. So
I'm I'm of the same like we could just go with the P3D, the P3F and eliminate. And from a a maintenance standpoint, I think that's actually easier. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> I would agree. So I have no problem doing that. So that's fine. I think if you go a
floor ahead just this thing or the back one floor back >> there. >> So you do the same here where I can't see the lettering but >> so everything and then >> thing becomes P3 >> C like kind of focusing more on the >> Yeah, I might have to play with the
greens a little bit. >> Although red that red is a pink more I would say and that P it's like a P green. play with it my story on a little bit. >> Yeah. No, I'm not saying eliminate it completely. Um but >> consistently. >> Yeah. And I just I prefer lighter colors
versus darker colors when we're talking about interior colors, you know. >> I think that's safe. Yeah. >> Yeah. Because I think what's on the outside of your house, Greg, is going to look different than if it was on the inside walls, you know. >> Yes. Agreed. Yep. >> Forward. Um now we have some fun stuff.
I like to bring you guys these fun issues. Here's a question we've had for a little while and we now need to answer. >> Wow. You know, it's a logo attached to them. It's, you know, on the side of the bleachers vinyl or there's a, you know, a wrapper essentially. It keeps kids from getting
stuck at the bleachers. So, lovely. It comes with a logo if we want to put it on the the um scoreboard needs some definition. This is what they send to you and say, "Is this what you want?" So, we haven't gone to the level of answering these questions yet. um for a couple reasons. Part is we're we're
trying to get enough of the different materials in front of us to make some decisions, but also when it came to the logo, we actually kind of we had reviewed the court. So that's that's what was been discussed was this eel in the middle of the court and Spartans,
but we kind of had expected we might be putting the Spartan logo around more. Um and then there are places so we need to reproduce this in a vector graphic that can be scales. And this is what was originally given to us from the school as the current logo. And before you
stick with it for 30 years, we wanted to give you a choice. >> Okay. >> As to whether you would like us to simplify it or tighten it up or if you want to have some graphic designer go and do something >> exit. Do we have to have the logo? >> No, you don't have to at all. I mean,
it's >> What's your thought? You had someone. So, we strategically really liked the eel at Center Court because it really unifies the town and it's a unifying logo and the recck department uses the
space a lot too. So, it really >> helps with that. So, that's why we really like the E at Center Court. Um, I love as many eels every as possible. I really feel like it's unifying for the town. Um, but again, like Frank said, I
don't want to be the only decision maker on that, but that's been my approach. >> Kevin, to that point though, would you go with home and guest versus Spartan and guest on the scoreboard? >> Yeah, >> you go with home of the Spartan, but you have it and you guessed if you wanted
to, right? Um, >> and take a few pictures off. I I don't know the double picture from the vendor. They're like, you must want this. I piggy back on what Kevin is saying don't have
the Spartan the Spartan head throughout the school now. We have Spartans throughout the school now. It's like the the words, you know, >> so I I don't know if we necessarily need the emblem like it's always on our jerseys. It's on our gear. We put it there a lot. >> Um it's on like letterhead. But when
you're talking about like the physical spots in the school, I mean, >> right? Well, cuz you know like the entry we don't have. We have Spartans. >> Where would we? >> So there's no It's really It's largely when you get into this um this equipment that the vendors >> are pushing and they kind of say,
"Here's put your logo here." We're like, "Well, we better check in." >> I'm just thinking like outside of the ones that are painted in the gym, I'm have them anywhere. >> No, I don't. >> And I think it's a new day, you know? It's it's very antiquated. So on the side of the bleachers for instance, the
eel would be better then if we if we and we don't have to put anything there but yeah could. >> Yeah, >> kind of like the eel. Do you guys like the yellow for the side of the bleachers? So have a defined >> I think it's easier so we're not I think it it allows us >> flexibility. Put the e on it. I think
that's cool. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Um, and then, um, so the for the scoreboard itself, >> on that same topic, Kevin or I can also give you the Yale varsity letters, >> which is if you wanted to look at something similar to that, that might be a good fit. Um,
>> but could we consider a modernization of those? >> Yeah, we could. I mean, they're they're fabricated. >> Now there's a time. No, I mean, for the >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Maybe it's a time to update that, though. I'm just saying. So, maybe this is I don't know. saying you got your shirt. Okay.
No, I I said it's always it's on our gear. We have it on our gear on our letter head. When you go to the physical jersey, >> it's not there. >> It's not there. So, I don't know if we have to like now force in the new building. >> You do not. >> And then >> I mean, I got a thousand shirts like this. >> So, so for the back of the scoreboard,
the home ask period home of the Spartans and take the other art off or do we put eel up there? I mean, we're duplicating the word home twice. That's the only thing that catches me with that. >> So, we could do eel Spartans or the
Spartans. I don't know. >> Thoughts? >> I that scoreboard that I see there, I like home or the Spartans at the top. >> Um, for the actual scoreboard, I I like home and guest instead of Spartans and Guest.
Um, and I don't like the logos on it >> and nothing. So, no logos at all or would you switch them to the >> on that? I I like Home of the Spartans as the >> message.
>> Great. At least they got you winning, Kevin. So that's >> um the next is >> um here's now if you thought that was fun. >> Is that the fact that we're talking about signage is a really good sign because that means we're really far into
the project. Um but one of the things that takes a long time is finalizing exactly what's going on the building plaque. And I realized as I was thinking about this that are there two building plaques. So this is in our drawings for the high school as >> well. We always need to stop at a
certain point and be absolutely sure you've got everybody acknowledged and you've got the spelling right. So someone needs to provide this to us. So in materially what we have and this can change but this >> this is a sizable sign that is on a you
have a stainless etched stainless steel plaque >> it's polycarbonate panel with um standoffs connecting it to the wall sort of like raised the font can change the content can change we have learned it's very important to be sure that you know
we acknowledge the MSBA and sec the uh treasur we will be sure that's there. Sometimes you're putting the, you know, the team that helped you get here, you know, and they're acknowledged. So, >> acknowledge the MSBA. >> Um, well, this would be at the bottom in
front with >> small checks clear the conversation. Um, >> just so long as his name's under superintendent >> because it's that it's that dicey thing and it's his name that's on it because that's >> you just put the logo.
>> 16 years of your existence. >> Yeah. Spartan logo. >> The one place. >> Yeah. Just the logo. >> Spartan logo. >> The only place the logo's on is on the >> So, uh, how do you as a committee want to make this decision? Like not
everybody has a city council or that says city council, but it's just the select board. Um uh that that can vary. Usually it's the building committee for sure. >> Yeah. >> Um and the theme is mentioned. Uh >> should we look at other like what what's
Birchland's plaque look like? >> What does >> I can answer that. >> Okay. >> Well, to the to the best of my recollection, um it definitely has the building committee on it. It had um
the principal's name uh the superintendent's name. It did not have at at that time it was still a board of selectman. I don't believe it had that reference to to the selectman, but it um
acknowledged the the general contractor. Um I'm missing a couple of things at that point in 1999 when we had to make that decision there was no MSBA. It was uh Department
of Education. Uh they didn't transition to that MSBA I think in maybe 2003 but there was um certainly a reference to that and at least um it's quick enough for you know somebody to snap a
picture of it and send it to the to this committee to look over. What we also did since we were in the same situation the high school is in is the what I'll refer to as the original Birchland was
built in 19 59 I think. Um, we took that old plaque, it was removed before the demo, and put it in the side lobby so that there was an acknowledgment of the fact that the
new Birchland in 2000 wasn't the the first of its existence, if if you know what I mean. >> And so that that's an option. Um, but certainly that's up to I don't know if it's up to Frank or it
should be up to the committee, but um those are my those are my two cents worth. I think the easy thanks Kathy >> is to replicate what Birland had use that as our template so we're not know upsetting people if they're included or
excluded you know uh you can just say hey we're just kind of rinse and repeating of a process that was outlined by a school in the past >> sure and there is a plaque up front for this >> yeah so that is a good idea making sure we save that >> and the addition happened eventually
>> as Ryan said there plaques for the additions too Yeah, the main one. I would just say the main one. >> The main one is probably the one they >> Yeah, cuz on those are smaller anyway. >> Yeah. Okay. We'll salvage those and find a home >> 5 by7 >> and we will if somebody send me the
first one just as a photo. >> And then what we'll do more names all over the font. So, you know, sounds like a good idea to keep it focused on the committee >> and we'll mock it up. But who should we direct it to? Gordon, can I direct it to you to verify everything on that? >> Sure.
>> Okay. because we just need a partner to own that responsibility. >> Now, is this going to be like a glass over like it looks like? >> So, it's behind the opposite. You have the um the um stainless etched is on top of a heavy piece that so it sits out so it looks like it's raised. Okay. Yeah.
And that could change if you have a if you want a more traditional type of plaque. Um that's not hard for us to shift it to a different material really. But >> we can send you some photos of this. I'll just plug this. Sounds like a small detail, but these take a while to make. >> Yeah,
>> like sometimes up to three months. So >> So you wonder what the hardest part of the job? It's right here. >> Yeah, >> I'm bringing >> I've ordered I've ordered stunt plaques on three different projects because the build plaque wasn't there on time. >> Yeah. And since this is >> the better,
>> sometimes there's like an an emblem like a tree or something behind it, but you know, I think the Spartan we talked about, so we Um okay. Um and then next um >> doctor
>> so um >> I was fortunate to get a tour as did Eric of um some of the available redstone uh and it's important Eric is on the phone as well. So I want to come back to that issue. We talked briefly about getting that into the pool area.
Um I was excited. It turns out that the drawings call for how many Eric? It's 60 to 70 lot. >> Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot. >> Yeah, it's a lot. I I can't remember exactly the number. Quite a few >> detention basins and and they're part of
the site consistently. Um uh so I was only looking for one stone. He was looking for a lot, but he also toured and felt like I think he can get as much we felt it was important to get as much as we could from here. I think that's the correct >> kind of ongoing the signage um or for
the what we have talked about and I have to say I've kind of thought about this a lot. Go to the next one and this is I know it doesn't look like I've thought about it because it's a really bad little sketch here. I was away on vacation last week but we did find enough stones that I do think that the bench idea is a good one. Um uh so
looking at the various options our thinking is that we replace the location of the bench and it's a it's a it would be a six foot longer than six foot long stone thick deep on placed on a base. Um we could even put in that base some time
capsule content if you're interested in that idea. That's something schools do a lot of something in the times recently that said nobody's ever very excited when they open the capsules. The idea is that we like create that location and then I was thinking that
would be a way where we could put the date in Roman numerals as a way of remembering the date of this event or we could just have a raw stone and have it be more raw feeling. So your call on that. Um but uh we've kind of talked through the possibility of this and this does seem like a better direction than
something that's vertical or kind of a tripping hazard on the other location because this is a pocket. It's off the wall. So, it's >> atrium though inside >> in that atrium. Yeah. Yeah. So, that's one inch. >> So, here's the picture to the left >> tucked in. >> Tucked in as a bench.
>> Um, you can sit on the bench. It would be sealed. It's as vulnerable as wood would be. So, there's the vulnerability issue that we talked about, but I think it's still a good and we can have that. We can we haven't priced this out. So, this is something we want to kind of get on now in order to get it in and because
we also need to know changing the weight at that location before they put the slab. so we can get prepped for that. So generally I just wanted to come back because I knew we'd left him in mixed feelings but you know my recommendation is that we go with the bench and then start acquiring that and O'Brien I think
it was was you know there were some nice pieces up there that I'm thinking about trying to >> oh is that where O'Brien's house >> that's where I saw some but we can we can go around but >> so you'd use one of those then you're >> our hope yeah and I think there's plenty of big >> it's appropriate to get it from me or
integrate to that okay >> bright Well, I mean, if you get you get >> Would you be able to >> Were they just kind enough to use the one piece or were they like else the town >> like in that whole thing where the bridge is they be utilizing it there at
all? >> That's where we will put some, but not we're not trying going to necessarily go to that one source. I think the the hope was to the town has a a bunch as well. We're pulling it out and making it available. So, I'm going to leave that to Eric and Bruce to to keep working
through. Um, and again, the the contractor has also identified a source, but we would really like to do as much as we can from here. That seems >> Dory, if if I may jump in on that, I I think we would actually rather reduce the number of proposed boulders on the
site um to avoid having to use an like an outof town source. So, I think um the plan right now is uh I'm going to be making another site visit on I think it's October 1st, and we're probably going to try to go over to the transfer station to see what Bruce has pulled out
and tag from what he has uh at least for this first round um that Fontaine Brothers needs. So, >> will you describe the bench itself so people can make the leap that that's redstone? Will we Oh, you mean will there be and
we can internally? You mean? Yes, certainly. >> We're talking about redstone on this wall and then over there's a bench. >> There's a sign. It's That's redstone. Yeah. >> Okay, >> sounds fine. >> Where did they make the leap? Where it came from? Yeah, like a literal leap. But yeah. >> Hey, there's a red stone. I wonder if
that's what they're talking about. >> Red stone that way, right? Yeah. >> You're in. >> Yeah. Yes. Exactly. A little bit of the history. Yes. If we could, that'd be great. >> We keep that picture of Bruce. >> Yeah. We're going to need that. >> Put that up on the wall. It should be on the plaque.
>> Just make that etched in the background. >> I was wondering with the plaque. >> Do the back. Although then you're talking stone and stone is heavy. Something that had a redstone feel to the back. >> And then with >> I know you know what I mean. I don't
know if they make similar. >> Is that where you're going with one or two plaques? You were you were going there. >> The two plexes. I realized that we have a pool. And so that's what I'm wondering if the second one could be that. The pool one could be that. >> I keep you want to keep them consistent. >> Oh, I guess we keep it. Of course. Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Right. Or at least relates to it. Yep. >> Yeah. I like that idea more than uh the plexi. >> Cool. >> Because then you could put this the plaque over the bench. >> Sure. >> If there's not a window. >> Um. >> Right. >> Okay. Great. Okay. Um um before we leave
signage, the one other thing I just want to let you know about is that we we were It's okay. It's no image for this one, but just that we realized that the records board at the pool is full. Congratulations, swimming team. Um
because we were talking about moving that over to the new location and then realizing that they're not in great shape and that it would be better if we have fabricated new ones. And that is been the discussion and I think that's
that we should pursue that and I just want to let everybody know that that's the plan >> ones that can be changed obviously. >> Yes. So now that's a different element because we weren't really you know that was in our design but we have to work on that but we will get on that right away to so that we can get that planned for. >> So it's going to be you're in favor of
that. >> Yeah. >> I might call you Kevin just to kind of check in on how those are added and what's in this mechanism and share that with you. But uh I think that's a good direction. a totally new design, Dory. We're talking different floorboard looking >> different
>> because right now you hang the things, right? It's hanging them up. >> Yeah. >> But we're not going to do that anymore. >> Right. And that's I have to figure out a better mechanism that's still changeable and addable and looks good and is what you know good in that environment. >> Okay. But all the records would transfer
obviously. >> Yes. The new >> and I assume the ones the way they are they can be. I mean you know this board better than I do. >> Well, are you doing a whole new board though Dory? That's what I'm asking. Were you you're taking pieces of this board? >> No. No. New board. >> None of them. Okay, great. >> But the but the records on the existing
board, are they portable on Can I transfer them as parts onto the new board or do we have to recreate all the records? >> I think you want to recreate it. >> Okay, that's what they're just hand painted and they're all different based on the year they were painted. >> Based on who paint when they got the record? >> Yeah.
>> Some of them could be 30 years ago painted. Some could be five years ago. There's definitely no statute of limitations here that we want to engage. We want to reproduce all the records. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> It's it's a s it would be sensitive to those people. Yeah. >> Going to take that original one and put
it anywhere like >> we could mail those to the people. I think >> times like that's a great idea >> was but I never made remember those. >> Sorry. >> Mailing them. You're in charge to track them all down. >> Put them in storage.
just not as >> pretty available to pick up. >> Go new, right? >> Great. Um, and then last just uh this was just a we were touching base on it. We ran out of time a little bit. >> Yeah. Do you want me to just kind of time in just where it came from? So, we
had our first Friday night football game last week um since the parking lot's been redesigned. And um it it was good to know, I saw it in Eric's email, that we actually are replicating the same number of handicap spots that we had
previously. Um but I will say we ran out of we ran out of handicap parking on Friday night. >> We ran out of parking. >> We ran out of parking. Well, we didn't run out of parking because if you count that front lot, you could go all the way to that. >> They were on the grass. >> So, um but there's people who were trying to stay close to the stadium.
They didn't want to walk. But >> um but there's also people who who were older and had difficulty walking. We do have a handicap section. >> Uh so the four spaces that we have close to the stadium I I don't know if they are going to accommodate when we have football games.
>> Oh, there's only four. >> There's only four. >> Yeah. So, um, one of the things I had reached out to Mark about, um, and then it became a bigger conversation with Dorian with Eric is can we potentially look at increasing those number of spots. Uh, I
don't know what the rate number would be. I was honestly thinking if we could potentially double it, but I don't know if that's feasible. But if we could get, right now we're at four. Get that to six, seven, I think that would be good. um just based on what we saw the other night because we do have a lot of elderly in our community who like to go to our
events and we want to make sure that they have easy access to those. You know, >> two things to point out before Eric jumps in. One is that just for you can't keep track of all the details that stretch going down had the long stretch of parking right over Pam's head.
>> Um that hasn't been built yet and there are um couple spots in there as well. Obviously, they're not close to the same entry point. >> Um, and what we were discussing is adding some around where you see those orange circles. Um, before Eric talks
about the options here, I did want to say that one, you know, point of concern about the question of how many you provide is also about how many you're taking away and and and whether you also want to talk about, you know, in the event of game nights doing something temporary.
Yeah, and if I could just piggyback on that one, too. It is my understanding that if we include that little side lot and the new front lot, we actually exceed the amount of parking spaces that we had in the original lot if we include those. So, the campus itself has more
spots when this project is completed than we had in the past. If you go to other other schools, if I go to Minichog, if I go to Long Meadow, you have to park and walk. So, I don't see taking a few handicap spots
close to the stadium as an issue if we as a campus now have more spots than we had in the past, you know? So, just with that caveat, I think we like if I am able-bodied, I can walk from that front lot to the football field and I'm fine. I did that on Friday night and I can do
that every year that I'm here. >> And we have St. Mike's, which is an easy one, too. >> Yes. >> Yeah. We just >> We can't tell people a part of St. Frank, if you were to convert those to handicap spaces, would you risk not having enough student parking during the day? >> No, we are more we have more than ample
student parking right now. It's about twothirds filled. >> Okay. >> I would probably say it's honestly closer to half. >> Yeah. >> So, >> I thought that there was like some I don't know rule about like the number of spots that you have and how many are supposed to be. >> So, so there is and I think Eric's gonna
hit on that, but it's throughout the campus and it's in different spots. >> I see. Um, I think just if we're if we're looking at our athletic events now, we're at we should look to >> increase that area, >> you know. >> Eric, do you want to speak to your
thoughts on this? >> Sure. Yeah. So, the requirements that the state has um and ADA has is based on the number of spaces you have in your parking facility. So, I'm going to omit the Nordon Street lot for a moment cuz that's sort of remote, but um around the
building you have 465 spaces. So, nine accessible spaces are required. So, we are proposing as part of the project 10 immediately around the building and they're dispersed to the different accessible entrances to the building. And then, so we have an extra eight
surplus um that we've located elsewhere. So you got the three at Nordon, the four at the stadium right now, and then there's one next to the JV football field. So you you you far exceed the number of required accessible spaces on
the site. But if you need more, the I there were a couple of initial thoughts. If you didn't want to reduce the number of spaces in the student lot, one option is to take those spaces kind of in the north row that already have an aisle, a
striped aisle there because there's a walkway that cuts through that landscape island and basically make those two on either side of that striped aisle accessible. We just need to work with Fontaine to make sure that the grades um work, you know, from an accessibility standpoint. Um, and then the other
option we thought is you could continue to basically add accessible spaces to the west of the four that we right next to them, the the four that we already provided. Uh, the only issue there is that Fontaine would have to add curb
cuts, redo curbing uh, there to get the flush access points and the ramps and things like that necessary to, you know, to provide an accessible route. Either of those locations can work though. um I think with a a you know more detailed
view of it. So it's really just how many you want, how many you can live with modifying, you know, losing from the student lot. Um I I think can be achieved. >> Eric, there are none outside of the east side of the pool at all. You're saying
>> there are there's two there's two for the there are two for the community entrance to the pool, >> right? Yep. >> There's two at the loading dock, two at the pool entrance, four in the staff lot
at the front, uh, one in the west slot that's sort of adjacent to like the district entrance, and then there's one further to the south near the daycare entrance. So, again, we just the state requires that we distribute them around the different accessible entrances.
>> No, those seem to make sense. Which one would you prefer of your two options to add by the stadium? would you suggest? >> Oh boy, that's a good question. I I think from a visibility and convenience perspective, they should be
next to the ones that we're already proposing. Those are the clearest sight line. You know, if if you're somebody with accessibility needs and you enter that parking lot, you're going to see those before you're going to see the ones in the back. um from a you know
trying not to undo work that's been done. You know the ones in the back would be easiest but you know that's not necessarily the right decision. Um you know I I mean if if if there's surplus parking I would extend the walkway
personally and and put them in that front row. I mean, if if we're picking up two in that front row where Eric is saying they're ideal and then there's two additional ones behind it that might be less than ideal, I would honestly say go with both. If we can pick up eight out
there, >> we with what I saw Friday, I I think you could see those >> being taken >> being taken. So, what happened on Friday and I I don't know if these people were handicapped or not, but next to the handicapped those walkways. People parked in those. >> Yeah. And then you can't do van access.
>> Exactly. >> Sorry. So >> this is why this is why we shouldn't duty at these games, right? Because >> we had details there. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Cuz that's what you should be they should be addressing is ticketing and and hauling those cars out of there cuz they should not be parking next to
handicap spots. What I can't tell you is >> those are there so you can get out of the car, right? Or the van. >> I can't tell you those being in the cross. >> Either way, they they're not allowed to be there. They should be yanked. Yeah. But um Eric, should we put the eight together or like Frank's Frank is saying
the six and two? What are your thoughts on that? >> You know, as you So, first of all, you don't want I don't think you want to put them as you're coming into that entrance. I don't think you want to put them on the right. Even though they're close, you do not want to make someone
cross that driveway. That's dangerous. So, I think the further that you put them to the like the west of the four that are there, the longer I mean it consolidates them, but it's it's sort of further. I I think you could go either
way. So, I mean, to me, typically it's a good idea to put them all together. Um, but because of the distances, I think you could make the argument for, you know, if you put two next to the four that are there and two in the back. I think you
could make that argument. Um, >> and it would save you a little of additional walkway. You know, >> what if we split the difference and go seven in a row and call it just one spot instead of >> I don't think anything that we add is good. Yeah. >> So, I I'm fine with whatever we do. I I
just just based on what I saw, I just wanted to make >> Now's the time to switch. Yeah. You know, >> well, it makes sense to make them in even numbers though, Greg, because the um because they can share an aisle. >> So, uh >> you know, it makes sense to um
>> Yes. >> two back >> adding two more to the front. >> What's your take on this? I I think that you you keep them together either way, you know, just keep them all together as my as the eight in a row. You were there on Friday. >> I was there on Friday. I kept pitching
people >> there. I mean, is it if you're if you're if those eight in a row, you're coming out of that space and you're going directly up onto the sidewalk, >> you have to go, well, we we would have to work with Eric and re, you know, take that whole curve, get the curb out, make that curb flush, and then create the
sidewalk to kind of make that all accessible. We have to create that whole walkway in front of that. >> And will we lose a spot because of the aisles or two total? >> So, we're going to lose a couple spots. >> Yeah. Yeah. You have to reconfigure the dimensions and we have to redo like probably three spots though. It's not
>> right. >> Yeah. Four four standard spots would become accessible. They'd be restricted. And then two spaces would become striped aisles effectively. Um, and we could look at it too because they don't all
need to be 8ft aisles there because you have way more van accessible parking than you need. So, if there was a way we could work the numbers so that you could get like some five foot aisles in there, then maybe that would save you a little bit of um maybe that'd save you space.
I'd have to take a look at it. >> So, go with eight in a row. That's the plan. >> You have to look Yeah, I think you have to look at the dimensions, Eric, and see how many you can fit in that area. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I I Mark that area at least by design is pretty flat. >> So um there's a catch basin over there
but I think that area is pretty flat. So >> right >> and if I can just ask one followup >> timeline on this. It's going to take a little bit of time. >> I need a design.
