Welcome everyone. Happy New Year. >> Yeah. >> Uh before we get to the actual business, everyone's been through the building by now, right? Multiple times probably. >> Yep. >> How's it feel? How's it look >> for you guys that are going to be living there? And >> Amazing. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Great. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's okay. [laughter] >> I would like to see it a little more finished, but >> Frank Paige, three deerits. >> Yeah. Right. >> I agree. You know what, Frank? Maybe you should go. [laughter] All right. F first order of business. Uh the >> All right. [laughter]
Approval of 1218 minutes. Is there a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Seconded. Any discussion required andor preferred? Seeing none like a pretty limited squad for the roll call page. Oh
no, you were absent. Heather Brown. >> Ah, yes. You were there. He was there. >> I was there. says absent. >> Okay. >> I'd like to amend the minutes. >> He came late. >> Kathy Hill. >> Oh, you were here.
>> Definitely here. [clears throat] >> Uh Thompson. [snorts] >> Yes. >> Tom. >> Yes. >> Kimberly Collins. >> Yes. >> Mr. Quimby. >> Can we change that to Mark Frank there? Cuz he was here. I'm sorry. on the
minutes. >> Make the correction. I didn't know we needed to. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> And he can vote if you want. He's a yes. >> Yes. Unanimous. >> Okay. Excellent. [clears throat] >> Anybody from the public or is it simply
our committee members? >> Okay, Benjamin, I think that's you >> very much. still good things to report on the budget side. Um [clears throat] 91 million, you can see the numbers up on the board here. Uh [snorts] [clears throat]
almost 92 million invoice to date. We're starting to fall in that same pattern as I mentioned last time where uh we've received that uh much in invoices. Uh but what has been submitted to Propay is lesser because we have uh some big requisitions that um are yet to be
submitted or working through the process of being paid and all of that stuff. So 82,842 270 uh has been submitted to Propay. Again, Propay is MSBA's reimbursement uh system that we work with Pam and Laura to get the paid invoices and then submit
those uh [clears throat] by the cost code and then per the PFA uh the project fun to get reimbursements. So, um, speaking of which, the number that has been reimbured to date is, uh, 42,244,895.
Um, you'll notice below RFR, request for reimbursement number 22 is still pending reimbursement. Um, so this this number will inflate to, you know, 46 47 million um, after that is audited. Uh, so in good shape again, right around where
your your uh, reimbursement rate is. Uh that's all uh standard. Um but some of the uh divisions as I've mentioned before within like the construction contract uh because we've already reached the cap on what is reimburseable. Um everything from there
on out is not reimburseable and you also have uh the bills that are coming in now are much more uh finishes uh the billings for finishes are higher which are just categorically uh ineligible. So certain things are at play and then lowering that u percentage uh which is
natural and to be expected on these projects. But just want to >> you're saying based on the cost of the finishes they go over the acceptable reimbursement. >> I should have clarified >> finishes themselves are excluded by MSBA from reimbursement in there. So how they
look at construction costs and certain caps they put in there. Um certain things have a threshold where we will reimburse up to this amount and once you're over that then no. Um finishes are all ineligible. So a lot of the stuff we have going on right now, the painting, the tiling, things like that. If we have a large uh wreck, a good
portion of that is finish uh related. So those things get clawed out. Whereas early on everything we were uh putting in was reimburseable. So everything was closer to the your true reimbursement percentage. But okay. And then uh from there we do uh still have healthy
contingencies throughout uh the owner's contingency uh which again is used to typically fund I mean it's all uh in the same bucket for the for the project but the owner's contingency typically to fund like uh soft costs um uh soft costs
again you know amendments to the designer's contract for instance would be one uh things outside of the construction contract that would be considered hard cost. uh construction contingency. This is really like the owner's construction contingency. This is where the um uh change orders have
been. So the change orders to Fontaine's contract have all been funded from this. Um so still in good shape and for next meeting I will certainly put what we uh started out at and what we are at now. Um and then Fontaine's GMP contingency which we are showing at its uh original
value. There are a few pending uh PCOS in that uh which will be executed shortly. Nothing of huge value at this point, but um yeah, that's just a >> So when do we get to talk about spending the contingencies on contingencies?
>> Um we're so we're in budget season. [laughter] We're in budget season and the one project we're talking about spec is we you know kind of need an answer if it's a viable project through with this I don't know if now is the time or later
is the time to talk about. I know there's other options. >> You sir, you're the chair. You can do whatever you want. >> Get within reason. Within reason, keep you in. >> It looks very promising. >> Yeah, >> we're not going to have a final answer for a little bit longer.
>> If the answer is yes, is that a for this season thing or is that a for next season thing? >> We had talked about the following, right? Schedulewise. Yeah. So you'd be talking summer 27 is when it would be done. >> Yeah. >> Yes. When it would be
>> summer 26 is going to be a nightmare. >> No. [clears throat] >> So again, that makes sense. >> More on. >> Can I can handle it, but it's just, you know, see if there management bring it more on. If we just kind of bring it as we do the fields, we kind of kind of clean it together. Cleaned up on the door. >> We can still do it within the project >> if we can.
>> If we can. Yes. >> So what we would like to do is get a um promising again. Uh we would like to um and we do have a good kind of understanding. I think Fontaine's got done as good of a job as they can and we have as well at forecasting and taking
into consideration everything we have going on obviously with the the move and the certain things that you see are going on. We won't have a true value until we get proposals. So um we've we've estimated certain things um and and and use placeholders and that. We do want to before we get too far down the
road give you some a clearer picture of what that pocket will look like. We got do a little bit more vetting just so there's no big surp once you rip it all up and it's >> I don't want to jump in too quick but I just want to know when understandable right if we come to you without information too late is uh use because
there are other options but I think for me this is one of the most viable >> ideally when do you need an answer when do you need a yes it'll happen but on the timing that we discussed >> I don't know a month if we're talking about funding it other ways we need to know yeah relatively
soon >> I I I'm a little lost I From a design standpoint, the information that's provided has not been full design. It's been speculative of the potential of doing the project, right? Like,
>> right, >> we don't have a design. >> So, would that be the next process, Dorian? And when should we when should we do the design >> if we're considering it? >> Dory, Texas. This is simply based off of, and I don't want to speak for you folks, but Fontaine sourcing, you know,
multiple quotes, if you will, based on some limited information on what we think might be done. There's obviously some things that added to that and some design, uh, that would be necessary. So, um, wanted some indication, I think, before we built off of that. So, we'll definitely bring you into the fold on
that discussion. >> So, yeah, we we we talked about this. This was on the capital plan two years ago and because the vote went the way it went and we knew we were going to put everybody on that field, we didn't want to put [clears throat] 100,000 miles on
a new field the first year. Um, and so we had sort of every intention of putting it back on the capital plan and Greg and I have t, you know, bounced around ideas about about this. I I would I would still uh entertain getting it
back on the capital plan if nothing more than paying for the cost over 30 years instead of just paying for the cost of it. So I I I'm think this is all said and done if we have to do the field. I
think everybody probably agrees with that. >> Um whether Go ahead. No, that I I I I would I would probably like to see what the final cost of putting that in a 30-year note would look like or if we just
[clears throat] had the money to do it. Uh in the same time frame, I think that would be probably more advantageous for the town. Uh but uh those are my thoughts. >> When you say money to do, are you talking free cash or you talking about >> I'm talking the capital plan like it was
in the capital plan. Yes. >> And hidden CPC for the the part. >> Yeah. We had split it out before, right? CPC was eligible for a portion of it, then the rest of it was on the capital plan and then were paying for the cost of it at the time, not paying for the
cost of it over 30 years. >> Yeah. >> Which is naturally going to be more. I just I just see the opportunity to spend over a million dollars on a capital project that's not currently on the capital list. I know you know better than I do, D. I'm not trying to take that away from you. This is much better of an opportunity for for me as an
option because you're talking 4/10en of a percent of this whole project. So to say that it's going to break the bank by putting on a bond, let's spend the money on the roads and let's keep this in the in the project if we can explore all options. But that's what I think we should keep in this project. So
>> how do you feel about April one as a Here it is. Here's here's what we here's the number. >> That's that's two months. That's longer than you said, but I'm asking. No, I mean that's up to that's up to what >> I want to be on this year's capital plan anyway because we're gonna load that field again next summer because we're
gonna be building fields next summer, right? So, we're still going to be out there. >> So, how do you commit to two years from now funding that through capital? I just >> just me being abandoned by work. [laughter] >> That's right. I know you are. I know you are. I'm not questioning that. >> At least you play one on TV.
>> Okay. [laughter] >> Although I wasn't questioning that. I hope you don't think that. I'm just saying of course, you know, I'm >> you know how it is to fund anything in this town to say in 2 years the situation is going to look like it does now >> is not it's not reason it's not how it's going to look. So if we have the money
and we want to finish the high school project, the whole thing, let's get it finally done instead of putting it off and then in two years we say, "Oh, we don't have the million plus. We got to wait." You know, that's all that's my concern. So we can talk about it. We got time. >> We'll finish our research. We'll still come back to you, let's say, within six, eight weeks, and be able to say, "This
is where we think we are based on everything we know." >> If he's if he's not going on the capital plan this year, it doesn't it doesn't matter as much. I thought it would go on this year, but >> that's an option. Well, again, we're going to overload that field again next year, >> but the money is there now. It's not going to be there next year is my
concern >> potentially. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> We got time. >> Yeah, we're doing >> get us get us some numbers and we'll make a decision and if it's a viable to take it up from the continuum. >> Yeah. To piggyback on Steve's recommendation, April is a good time
frame in terms of when we can realistically present because that's we'll be through uh the move proposals. we'll have a clearer picture obviously from what else is needed out there. So, all right, we'll work. >> We can probably also do a test pit or something and see what we're dealing with. >> Yeah. >> So, I'm holding my my hand up just to
ask a very simple question. Just do we have >> that far. >> Sorry, I know. I'm sorry to interrupt. Um, do we just checking because there have been a lot of discussions about different locations. Is it clear what field we're talking about? Because it's
not to me. the stadium. >> Stadium. Okay. So, you're talking about that's >> replacing the turf in the stadium. >> The carpet needs replacement. It's overdue. And so, it's going to be a million plus. We're looking to wrap it into this project if we could. >> I see. Okay, great. Just wanted to check that we're not thinking partial. I heard
partial baseball at one point. So, I wanted to double check on that. Okay. Thank you. From there, Dory, we got some preliminary pricing based off of, hey, we got to pull this out, replace it, you know, not consider drainage and other things that we'll eventually have to get factored. >> Strictly talking about replacing the
turf in the stadium. >> We were all the way there at capital two years ago. It was a submitt. >> Yeah. >> I mean, where that million came from. We I we spend a million a year. >> Almost half of it can go to CPC. >> Half of it, 500,000. >> It's either the materials or not the materials. >> We can't remember which one, but one or
the other. I thought the carpet was not eligible then than then theation is >> okay. >> But we don't have to complicate it too. We can keep that CPC money because there's plenty of other projects. That's all I'm saying. This money is here already. It's an option. >> Okay.
>> Not borrowed for 30 years. >> But then you're just going to borrow for the roads, right? >> Moving on. >> Free cash. >> We'll get there. >> Put it up. >> Mr. Murphy. >> Yes. Could we move to the next one? Just quick updates. [laughter] Um >> I want to go back to the
>> How do we get here? >> So MSBA continues to be a good partner. Um the PFA bid amendment we are happy to is finally ready for uh signing. So Tom, Greg, and Steve, I believe it is right before you leave, please can we get your
signature on that? Uh so again, the PFA bid amendment, what you guys will be signing is just the adjustment >> my pen. It's the adjustment to uh the budget. Uh you had the project funding agreement. It gets amended after we uh executed Fontaine's GMP contract. You
guys remember that happened beginning of last year. Sent in all of those documents. Um a little bit of back and forth. Took about this long to get the finalized version. So you guys are good to sign. We've confirmed that that all checks out. Um and that basically brings us to a point um where we're good in the
propay budget. Uh there are my next item here uh budget revision requests. So in this whole process uh it's common that you'll have like designer amendments and things that h uh happen on the project and you need to uh reflect that in the budget.
By the guidance of MSBA, we've held off from processing these individual budget requests and we actually asked if we could just uh make the changes to the budget through the project funding agreement bid adjustment. we were told no because it's just going to complicate their process and it's really going to stall things for them and and uh it
would would have taken even longer than what 10 months 11 months whatever it was 12 months. >> Um so we we decided to hold off on that but we've uh we've got those ready to go. We will be sending the drafts over to MSBA. Um, these are, like I said, the designer amendments that, um, post the
PFA, basically. Um, the testing services. Steve, I know you were aware of of the certain things that were outside of the statement of special uh, inspections that we've needed, the the blower door testing. Um, nothing major there, but uh, do need to make those moves. And then the move services. Um,
we did carry some money in the budget for, uh, move services, but at the time, I don't think we I don't think anybody really thought it would get this complicated. none of it's that complicated, but we didn't expect the uh the annex to be moving certain uh things that we've strategized on and and think are needed. Um so we may exceed the uh
the budget for that. I don't expect by much uh but we will need to move money into that line item if we are then you know coding the invoices towards there. So uh we will spell that out for the for the committee for whoever is going to be signing those uh beforehand. Just want you to know that those are underway and
will be coming uh once MSBA blesses them. Um and then site visits. So they're out here on January 20th. I was not present. Rich, I know you uh handled that and uh effectively I believe it was right. It was a good one. >> Absolutely. [laughter]
>> Didn't hear anyative effect from them. So um you know, [clears throat] they're they're they're pretty good. Like I said, good partners. They they want to come in and see the building quickly, but they they don't spend a ton of time here. Um, which is a good thing unless something's wrong. Keep their distance. So, our next site
visit has not been scheduled the exact date. I think that uh Peter threw around a couple. >> Yeah. So, we'll we'll let uh Frank and and Gordon know. Again, you can uh attend if you want to. No need to if you don't. >> School move coordination. Uh so, a couple things here. Uh we're meeting
with a a group uh Greg, Tom, Ryan, uh Jamie, Frank, Gordon. That's anybody. Uh, forgive me, Pam. Um, it [clears throat] they've been super helpful uh in orchestrating uh the first leg of this was uh getting uh the
superintendent's office moved everything over in the annex portion of the building. Um getting that move prepared uh for April break. Uh in in preparation, we had to do the request for proposal which um uh is going out um
or sorry already went out and we received one proposal back which uh we confirmed was adequate uh through the state and uh Tom I think we're at a point where we'd like to maybe get over there if we can before the next RFP rolls out. We can talk offline. We don't need to get into the details there but
um if the I mean our recommendation is to go with it. So, if there's no further concern, if we can confirm on our tour that um you know, it meets the the expectations of the town. Uh there are a few other things uh we want to confirm just for the sake of of finishing up the
RP for the for the spring move. Um I know we talked about Ryan maybe getting in there earlier just to set things up uh and confirming if they have any kind of storage space that we could uh get creative with the RFP on. But anyways, we'll confirm those details and then my understanding is we just got to sign
them up. sign up the lease, sign the lease agreement. So, um if that all goes well, uh you guys will be moving into there. Um auction coordination. So, this was something we reached out to Auctions International, a company that Skanska's
worked with in the past. Um most recently up at Wakona for their high school move. Um they come in, they're really helpful. We weren't super confident that they were going to be able to do much with our project considering the constraints of, you know, schedule really uh dictates a lot
here. Um, and uh, everybody's gotten their their best use out of this building and equipment, let's say it that way. And we didn't see a ton of stuff that uh, seemed like it would be hugely profitable, but we wanted to bring in the auction company because they are experts in this. Um, and we're
glad that we did. Fontaine walked the building with us. Uh Frank did as well and and Greg. Um we are confident that we're going to be able to auction some of the stuff in the building. Uh Dave from Auctions International had talked
about uh putting together lots. Uh so for instance, like the kitchen equipment, certain lots of stuff that he thinks will sell uh quickly. And so he he analyzed the building and and told us what basically he would not include for auction, which is was kind of uh in line
with what we had done with our inventory list and uh the feedback that we had received from the the staff here. Um so anyways, we we sent all the information over to Dave. Uh Alex from our team is working with him to compile the lots for this. We're working with Pam and Dave to
confirm the information needed. Um, somebody from the town basically needs to confirm once the auction happens that uh whatever was submitted for proposals is uh acceptable. Uh should be pretty easy to do. Uh once that happens, he turns up the invoices uh works out the
payment to the town, all of that stuff. So, still waiting on confirmation of timing in terms of when this will happen. Dave made it seem like it can happen any time previous to the uh prior to the uh school ending. Um so, we're thinking sometime in May. Uh but we'll roll out more information once we get
that from him. Um and Fontaine obviously will make sure everything works there and uh the stipulations are that everybody needs to come get their stuff. Um needs to get out of here. Uh we do have a few more conversations I think to have in terms of disconnections and kind
of making that as easy of a process as we can because we are also going to be moving um you know all the regular supplies into storage away from the building that same day. We don't want people competing for space and clogging up the system, all of that. So, more to come on that. Uh the spring move RFP. Uh
so, we have tentatively targeted uh February 9th for the uh RFP to go out. I say tenatively at this point it is uh firm because we've actually advertised that as well. So, um we've got the RFP in good shape. We do want to confirm a
few things uh Tom if we can nail down a time to get over uh to the Cardamundi uh property. Uh, that'd be great. If not, we could always do an addendum or something like that. Get creative. So, um, the summer move, >> we can get over there. Yeah. All right.
Great. Fantastic. That I mean, we we kind of have to do it before we put in the paper. So, I mean, I'll I'll be on that. Yeah. >> Backed up this week. >> Anything that works with you guys, it's really you two and Pam. Um, within the next week, week and a half, uh, we we'll meet you over there and
>> Okay. You're you're free no matter what. >> We'll make it. Yeah. between >> someone will be >> four or five of us. >> Well, I heard rich is effective. So, I think >> as always [laughter] buzz word of the week. So, all right. Uh summer move RFP. So, a lot of this is kind of going to be happening uh
concurrently. Uh we I should have said in the spring move, we talked about uh securing the boxes for the uh for the teachers uh ahead of time, ahead of the the actual summer move. um so that those can be distributed to the teachers. They
can pack everything up beforehand. So in April uh is when that will be happening. Um we'll have a a site visit where the movers need to come. It'll be mandatory. They have to come to the site to see what we're up against. We drafted the RFP and put in as much detail in there
as we can. Um but we also want them to come see it to ask their questions to to really vet it out. Um same with the summer move. Uh we'll issue this in March. hope to get proposals back April. Again, the the dates that we've thrown out there are kind of loose now, but kind of needs to happen that way for it
all to time out uh for the for the opening. So, um we are online for Friday of next week to check in with the move management team. So, Tom will talk offline, set up the tour, and uh head into that meeting with the updates.
>> Where's everything go for the summer move? So, in the RFP, it's going to be storage. Some typically these uh moving companies will have, you know, on site or some field somewhere where they they put their stuff. Um, so we'll put that out there. That is all got to be stored. We don't have a place in town for it,
unfortunately, and it can't go over to the new school yet. So, it'll be uh somewhere for a couple months. Um, I don't Alex is not here. He'd be able to confirm, but I I don't think there was anything in there that uh required special storage. I know that the music
instruments we talked about originally, but I think that's all been vetted out. So, anyways, Alex has spent a lot of time in the school with the uh department heads and then various uh other staff uh just to confirm that we have all the details for this. I'm sure the mover will come in and ask us a
million questions on top of that. Um but yeah, that's uh that's the update. We're hopeful that we can get the same moving company for for both. Um >> because you can't do the same RFP, right? So the way it works, this is a a a 30B procurement um for goods and
services essentially. So it's it's based on a threshold and because we're dealing with drastically different scopes for these moves, we're expecting the first move to come in somewhere around $50,000, which just so happens to be their threshold. Anything below $50,000,
you just need to solicit. You get three written quotes essentially. Um we are utilizing basically the the full process if you will in terms of advertising on comb buys uh goods and services bulletin just because we want to increase exposure on it get the best pricing um
but you don't necessarily need to for the second move for the summer move because it might I honestly don't know I think that will be closer >> over 50 >> over 50 so it's safe to assume that we will be doing so and we've uh scheduled it that way uh >> it's a longer process is that why you
just put them together more you got to bring in the the proposals and then you got to base it off the selection criteria in there. So, it's a little bit longer. It's not as like stringent as some of the things we have to do for like file sub bidding and stuff like that. It really, as Tom knows, is it's
it's all in the favor of the district as long as you do it the right way, but it's it's just kind of the the red tape of getting there. Um, so anyways, that's the way we're structuring the two. We did see the need to separate the two. Originally, we talked with the group about making this one RFP. We just
didn't have the details and we're going to have kind of when we'll have information is not uh >> so the summer move is going to depend on when the last day of school is. >> We had we had two snow days. >> How concerning >> chickens >> chicken
um how concerning is that? Should we try to address it is what I'm asking cuz we can try. >> Every day is important. So >> that's what I'm asking. >> Does it jeopardize there and we see what we're doing? So, >> well, the option would be to take two days back. We haven't talked about it
yet. Sorry. >> It's been mentioned. >> Okay, good. Uh, in April, um, to get those two days back. >> That would just be for the high school. >> Just for the high school. >> Is it worth >> Let's see. Let's find out. Let's see what when the winter ends. >> That's my hesitation is happen one or
two more, right? Let's all I mean, I wouldn't want to jump right now. Okay. But let's Well, >> the only reason why >> we have to let people know, families know specifically. Understand? Yeah. >> How does that work, Greg? How does that >> taking the days back? >> We would move them to the April vacation to be a vote of the school committee.
>> No, we Oh, won't we be moving >> annex here? We will this part. >> Yeah, just the annex. Yeah. >> So, >> that won't that [clears throat] won't impact the building at large when that's happening. >> Well, that's that's why I brought it up, but it sounded like no.
No, >> it's maybe [clears throat] arbitrary at this point, but when does school committee need to >> I guess my question is like sectioning that off, >> closing down that hallway like that's >> 10 days from >> you're not wheeling everything out by the front office. >> Well, the more time we can get families
>> the better it is for all of us and that's what and we have to still talk to the union and we have to go through that whole process. So, there's a bit of a process. >> I think you >> if it's worth it, >> if it's not worth it, then we won't do it. I just don't want to not get in the first day because >> that's just where I'm at is it really
does have to be worth it. You have to tell us like we need those days just >> I know vacations are already planned. People are not going to be here and staff so might look a little different for those two days. My only thing you know
>> so wait >> I would say wait until we know what the rest of summer winter looks like. >> So when do you want when should we know >> other side of February break? That would be my position. I mean, that's three weeks from now, >> right? >> I think at that point, >> you know, you know how the winter's gone. You get into March, you're pretty
much good. >> February break usually, knock on wood, snow days are kind of >> behind us at that point. So, we have an idea of how many we're talking, >> you know. >> Yeah. >> So, >> okay. >> I I don't think three weeks is going to
>> All right. Great. Thank you. [snorts] >> That's about it for me. >> That's about it. [laughter] >> It's not about me. >> Yeah. Right. if we have if we have kids in this building. >> FBI, what do you think >> moving forward? Um, just kind of real
quick in in the overview as far as I don't know if there's any overview slides, Ryan, at all, but I mean, um, looking and and where we're at, you can see a little snow filled. So, we're moving forward with some of the finishes. We're starting in in the academic wings and we're working our way
through. As far as the rough in general, we're actually into the gym finishing that last bit of inwall rough. Um kitchen's been inspected. We have the um [snorts] uh we have the band chorus. The whole uh building A is all done, inspected. We're looking at closing all
that. They right there. You see that there were setting up staging in the auditorium. So there's your auditorium. Lower sections done and inspected. We kind of closed some of the corridor walls. What we're doing now is we're staging that auditorium so we can drive lifts off the second floor because we got all these uh mechanicals high up in
the auditorium. We can't reach them on the slope on the slope stage and the tiered seating. So what we do is we stage that. So now it makes it quicker for the trades to work their access up there. So they'll drive their lifts on there, put the duck work in there, we'll do fire suppression, then we'll work our way down paint and start our ceilings and lights. And then we'll take that
down. Our goal on this is about two months to be able to get this in done and out of the way. doing seating and then doing the walls. This kind of makes it a little bit better for all the trades. Um just a better access and a little bit more accessible for them to get that because
it's way up high for the into those. So that's kind of where we're at with this here that like I said the kitchen got uh done and inspected. We'll start sheetrocking that as early as tomorrow. Freezer cooler coming in another week. We got the kitchen hoods coming in. So all that kind of stuff is kind of tying together now for us to kind of move ourselves through the kitchen, the gym
area where we're in that back gym. We'll start blocking and looking at um doing all the uh power for all the above um basketball and and equipment like that for the batting cages and stuff like that. We'll work on all that electrical and then we'll be starting to kind of clean those walls up too and kind of when that next month and a half we
should have the drywall pretty much set. Building A, as you hear like in Frank's area, that that's all done, sanded, ready, turned over to the painter. And then we're looking at kind of cleaning up the balance of A by the art rooms in the backside [clears throat] by central office. Next few days, turning that over to the painter also. So, as we move out
of the D&E, we're going to run ourselves into A and then keep going into B. The same time we're in the C-spine, the pool building there. As you look at that, this the decking, all the structural steel is now done. We're actually tenting in the bottom side and doing the exterior of the building there as far as the block work and kind of cleaning that up there. And then once we kind of
finish that and enclose the building, we'll be dumping heat in there to start the interior walls and started working on the on the pool there. So very active, still six days a week, still 200 people on the job a day, roughly 180 to about 200. Uh we're pushing at least 100
showing up on the weekends. Um it's a hard press. So but you know, trades are working great together. The coordination's been great. Um so it's just getting us through the finish line. It's all good. >> Good winner to be closed in. >> Good winner to be closed in. Absolutely right. you know, I mean, it is, you know, hindering us a little bit. The
panels are going well on the roof. That's that's our biggest hinder. But we have all the units set. We've have all the power done, disconnects are done, all the gear is on site now. So, now we're distributions on our side. We have power to the building. So now once we finish our distribution and tie into the
units the units so we're on track to actually turn power onto the building by you know mid to end you know mid by before March we'll be distributing through the building for permanent power which is a great aspect for us to have power on our side so that's a bonus so
all good thank you anything else on the Fontaine side here Daniel you look like you got something [laughter] always we always have something we'll leave Aviva, I think that's you. >> Tori, did you want to talk about design
or should I? [snorts] >> Would you like to? I'm happy to, but uh your call. I'm all ready if you need. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Okay. All right. Um >> person in the room. >> Yeah, I know. It's we're we're pretty
interchangeable. Go uh next slide then. So [snorts] the you're going to see again some little bit of repeat here but I just want to share this because this is our last week's starting slide and if you click to the next one uh this is where we are. So mainly it's a weather
report you know [laughter] um so it's been interesting to see how well uh this project has handled the cold weather change and it's things have been very smooth I must say on keeping heat in the building. So, thank you, Fontaine. Next slide.
>> Um, so I'm going to focus on the interiors a little bit more than Fontaine did. So, we're excited because now is when the finishes are coming in. Um, so E-wing is starting to show its tile, its paint, its, uh, casework. Um, and that really starts to communicate
the design. So, it's a lot more fun to bring people through the school. They're starting to really understand where it's all going. Uh, next slide. Um so also exciting uh I think just in the last couple weeks is the um u science lab case work is coming into place uh and
that's really gives a much better extent of uh this complicated coordination and what it feels like and the quality has been excellent. Um you see on the right hand side uh this wing shows uh the um water fountain bays throughout and how
they're protected um and what they're going to feel like. And then that yellow wall is showing you the cross corridor and the academic wing um uh that is essentially part of the bathroom core uh for each wing. Um so the tile in the
hallways is pretty extensive now and looking really fantastic. Um and really as a whole the the progression as you know is from the academic cores um over to C-wing and B-wing and A-wing. So
we're we're feeling the the direction really when we're in D and E uh and uh still seeing framing and um and uh infrastructure on a big level. Um still working heavily on A and B. So if you go to the next, what that means is that
we're starting to really we're still working out some issues that answering questions relevant to the core and the finishes. And this these two slides are showing you the glue lamp beams and the main entry area that carry from the lobby all the way through the media
center. Um those are structural and they're exposed and they're a finish element. Um and they're looking lovely. Um there's been a lot of uh coordinated conversation about the care of those beams and and what they're going to look like when they're all done. On the right is the learning stair which is a big
what I think of remember is from way back the heart of the school. This kind of um point where students can gather at the beginning of the day. It's complex piece of steel going in and a lot of finishes happening on that. Um next slide.
Um, so this is the gymnasium and I bring this up because I wanted to talk about the fact that we're um we're answering questions and completing the the essential bones of this. Um, and the next thing as you see from the process here is that we get into the finishes.
The drywall goes up. Um, some of the equipment starts to roll and be worked around and then the final finishes happen. Um, so in the lefth hand side, our gym is primarily abuser resistant gip and wall pads. Um, and then your gym floor. And on the right in the corridors
around it, we have a lot more block than in the academic wing. We have very little block there. Um, and um, and you see some of that accent detail. So, you start to see in the B-wing, we have a lot of the the the reds, the Spartan red and gray. Um, and in the next slide,
this raises um a a conversation point um that there's been this discussion about um whether or not we want to take a beat here and formalize a process of putting um a a kind of a custom um mural on the
wall. So JDA kept um we can come back to this in a second but just if you go to the next slide just to understand context. Um on the bottom is a render of the gym and the focus I just want you to focus your attention on that part that says East Long Meadow Spartans. So in
the package owned already is a painted mural with essentially that graphically. Um it's a little bit different than that, but that's a general idea that it'll be painted um taped and painted by the painter as scope. And we placed it there so that it's across from the um
student seating. And this was just or the the the because the bleachers are all on one side of the gym. There's a lot of equipment that you don't see in this render that comes down or it's a little bit hard to see that kind of blocks your view to the other sides. Um we also have some chases on the other
side. So, the longest expanse to us and the most obvious place was to place it um on um this um side where it's shown. Um and if you flip back now um we've also by the way added an American flag that'll be in the corner there. So,
sorry about that. Um so, the conversation has been do you want to do something more uh out of your remaining contingency to pay for something more custom? And this is something that um that was brought to
us as a question by Steve um and that we just wanted to put on the table because if it's going to happen, we need to kind of get it organized and in play um now so that it's ready and doesn't in any way slow down the process. And the same
question is going to be applied in another few slides to the pool and I can walk through that and then we can come back and discuss it if that makes sense. Yeah, let's walk through it, please. >> Okay, so go to the next to the redstone. >> To the redstone. Okay, keep going.
>> That's where we're going to put it. >> Um, >> this is actually just because we're at B-wing. I wanted to just remind you there was a question raised. I think it was sent to us by um uh Kevin perhaps. I'm not sure. But there's there's been this general question about okay, are we
going to be able to fit the trophies from the current school in the new school? So, I just want to put this out here to show you the extent of trophy case. This is the drawing. None of these are in place yet, but they're all under fabrication right now. Um, and each each
one of these two door um cabinet areas is a glass twodoor area that's I believe 42 in wide, eight um roughly 7 feet tall. So, it's a lot of casework with um movable shelving that can be adjusted to
fit the height of your various trophies and more shelving can be added. You know, there's the the dash lines show you how much. So, we think it's extensive enough to meet your your need. It's uh we did kind of organize that originally. Originally, there was a
discussion that the school is going to get rid of some of what they have. So, um I can't guarantee that it that it that it's going to store the entire history of your community because that was never the design goal. Um there's also two more that are less publicly
present. They're in the the back of Bwing, but I just wanted to share this as a general contextual slide um to help answer any questions the school committee may have about that or or the athletic boosters. And then on the right you see that black square is where we've
located power and data for a hall of fame kiosk that the boo that uh uh school booster club asked for and they've shared that they have arranged to provide that touchscreen interactive that will allow them to allow people to
be able to um uh come and I think flip through more information about the history of athletics um in the school district. Um so that's that was a bit of a late ad. So there is a little bit of coordination I think on finishes around the tile there um that
I'm still working through, but generally that's just something so you're aware of it. And on the the left and right are the two entry door areas into the gymnasium. Um next slide. >> Dory, did you get the specifications for that wall mounting for that? Um,
[snorts] I got the specifications on the actual kiosk itself. >> Okay. >> Um, and I just have one last followup I need to do on the actual bracket and housing because it didn't tell me about the bracket. I just want and usually they come with the So, currently, Greg, it's a mounted bracket and a TV off the
the wall, which should get it be proud of the tile, which is I think fine. I don't think more is needed, but we need to coordinate that bracket to be sure there's no change to the wall. Is it inset? Um, >> it is does not look to be from what I
got. >> Are folks going to bump into it, kids walking by? Are we worried about that? >> Well, usually the bracket's going to carry it 2 in off the wall and the monitor itself is under two. So, technically it's fine that way. Um, what we're doing elsewhere in the school,
like in this location, is we actually have a housing that's built in to the wall and the monitor goes inside. >> Okay. So, if we wanted to add that, we would have to put that into order as a change to be sure that the similar type
of housing is provided for that um kiosk. >> Would you recommend we do that? >> I think for consistency it's a good idea and it does kind of clean it up. >> Yeah. >> You just say it's a touch screen. [snorts] >> It's a touch screen. Dory, this the
image that I'm looking at right now. Is >> this just like something you threw up there or is this an actual plan of something going in? >> Oh, this is your Yeah, this is a plan that we've shared. So, this is where you're just general digital signage. >> So, I guess more what I'm asking is that
uh you have the school mission up there, >> right? Which Yes, that you gave us. Yes. >> Okay. So, I will say that gets revi that gets reviewed every 10 years and right now we're in the process of potentially revising that. >> Uhuh. >> So, you >> that's why I put it up because none of this has come to us as a submitt.
>> Okay. >> Um so, um of these two things in front of you, the one on the left is a vinyl >> and the one on the right that says Spartans is paint. >> Yeah. And >> I would just >> refrain from putting our our school
mission anywhere in the building just because it is something that does get reviewed and revised every 10 years. Sometimes it stays. Sometimes it does get tweaked and I just don't want it to become antiquated immediately, you know, >> and you're in the process of that right now. >> Yeah, we're in the process of that right now. We have we're going to have to submit this to NAS over the summer. We
[snorts] are talking about tweaking some of the wording in this. So that's just what I want to put on your radar now. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, that's great to know cuz um and we should talk about whether you would want to eliminate it all together. It's a prominent wall. So, this is the
entry point. You come into the school, this is what you're seeing. Um we can continue the the paint concept and just kind of add to that. So, you have sort of a candy cane here. Um >> Yeah. Or >> I don't I don't have an issue with any of it. I'm just hesitant to put the
mission statement up there just because that does get >> it's going to change. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Um, yeah. I think I think when we talked about this two years ago, you were excited. You want you asked for that, but I can see why that might evolve. [laughter] >> Gets excited.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Dory, Mark just brought up a point about is there a cover? Were you talking about covering that touchcreen for the Hall of Fame? >> So, so, >> so on this one, the right hand, the one you're looking at here, there is a cover. So, you get to spec whether you're covering it or not. It's this one
is not a a touchcreen. The one on the other one is um >> a touchcreen. So you can still have it in the housing but not have the um the glazing. >> So this one is the hallway going to the pool. Correct. And the other one is the bottom of the stairs. Is that correct?
>> Correct. It's right in when you walk through the vestibial before you take a right into the auditorium. You can see it in front of you and you can see the stairs to your right. >> So it's the main Yes. like as you walk through the main >> main entrance left. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Right on the left. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. >> Okay. >> The like career coach uh coach area. [clears throat] >> And Dory, is it or is it safe to say there's a similar amount of uh uh trophy space as we have now? >> Roughly. >> Looks like a lot. >> Roughly. I mean, you have a lot. And
this is a lot. Um uh >> we're [laughter] going to pair it down. We are going to pair it down before we move. But yeah, just so we have an idea of what what what kind of space there is. Yeah, we we and I um again there's that count down there below. The reason why I took off the linear foot count is
that it kind of depends on how you I mean I can tell you what the linear foot is on shelving, but you can add shelving. It depends on the size of your trophies, right? So in each of those you see um you know um one, two, three, four, five shelves essentially if you
count the bottom. Um uh so it's a question of how you want to arrange and and and and do that and we could conceptually add more but um this is sort of a a something that the school was going to spend time thinking about and I think they're starting to so I'm
bringing it up for that reason >> 1900s. >> Yep. I think it looks good. >> Yeah. >> The trophy case. Yep. >> Okay. So next slide. Thank you for the comments there. So now as you move out of B-wing, you're entering into the
vestibule. This is the we've talked about the graphics here. So I just wanted to give you an update on that. So um this is the the wall that you see when you enter the vestibule at the pool. There's this wall right in front of you, which is the one we wanted to hit with that graphic and signage to
help direct people into the school or into the pool. And then if if you're looking straight through to the the landscape behind, that's the that's the [clears throat] other vestibule coming from the behind the pool building, right? And the all this open space to
your left is going to be filled in with walls and that's your kind of office, etc. And the big wall you see is the back of the pool essentially. Um, so this is your your entry point. So we remember we talked about this. If you see on the upper left hand side, [snorts] there's that graphic we showed
you as a render concept that you guys liked and then we wanted to take that out and explore it further and get some historic language review. We've now done that. So on the right hand side you see the final board in the language which um we've kind of shared uh with um with
Greg and some folks and gotten some text input back. Yeah, it's got the text and that's been around for review. So we're feeling pretty good and ready to go with that. The colors look a little funny on my screen, but that just might >> Is it going to be more of the redstone instead of the gray the red one on the bottom? >> That was the thinking. Yes. And the
reason is that the text the gray board pops a little bit more. So that is the one thing I just wanted to double check. >> Yeah, I like it. >> Yeah. And then we're going to keep the red flag signs above one to gymnasium and then keep the the columns in gray. So that that's the only other change there.
>> I just I wanted to mention so Tom Behan was the one who uh wrote that for us. the president of historical commission. Uh he passed away last week. >> Able to show this to him >> actually two days before uh and he was very happy, very pleased with it. So
>> just wanted to acknowledge him and his efforts not only for >> his name down >> but for the town. >> Well, I thought about putting his name as the author, >> right? I mean, why not? >> Yeah, that's a really good idea. >> He wrote it, right? >> Yeah. [clears throat] >> Would you like us to do that or site him at the bottom?
>> Yeah. And and maybe he's the class of 80. Can we put an 80 next to his name? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And [clears throat] I was thinking about should we pull that through the whole building? So there's a lot of people that have that names are now going to be on this building that were graduates of the school. Some of the plaques and
such. Should we put years of graduation behind those names as well? It was just a thought. It adds kind of some >> Where else would it be? >> Makes it yours >> like on the plaques for the school building. >> Oh. >> Okay. >> Oh, like on those? Yeah, there's a
bunch. You know, it would just be an interesting fact as you're reading the plaque, I thought. But certainly I I would be in favor of adding Tom's name to this. >> Yeah, >> if I will say >> on the committee that >> Well, check with his family. Can you do that? Do you have the ability? Okay, >> sure. Let me know. Yeah, because we we
haven't um I don't think this has gotten kind of its final send. Um but we're getting close. Um on the building plaques, um Gordon, I think, has tried to get everybody to sign off on that. We haven't gotten a final from him. So, if you did want to add class denotions to
um the individual names on those committees, you speak [snorts] to Gordon because we won't begin layout till we actually get text from him and we haven't gotten that yet. >> Parentheses after like 2000 or 0. >> Yeah, you do like a >> Yeah. >> apostrophe 9. Yeah. 92, whatever.
>> 0. >> Which century? No. >> Yeah, we're we're going to jump the century here from this side of the table to that. So, >> [laughter] >> We're laughing ourselves here. >> Los of 80. Y'all was 80. I was 79. [laughter]
>> All right. So, if you could go to the next slide, please. >> So, and remember we're back to the mural question. So, the I'll say the pool committee has raised this idea of a mural here. And I'm showing you all four elevations. [snorts] So the elevations
here on this sheet just from the drawings that's the um the bleacher seats so [snorts] you can't put it behind them and then to the that is the wall to the left of the bleachers which is where the big scoreboards etc are and this is just an old render so don't
worry about what's on my point is just that so don't anybody on Fontaine's team start freaking out that it's not right this is just showing you there's [laughter] a lot of stuff on these walls these are not great walls for a mural go to the next slide. So, um, straight
across from the bleachers is the upper one. And again, I don't think that's a great wall for a mural because we have, um, essentially pilast or sort of ventilation shafts that kind of change the shape of that wall. We had expected banners to be installed that you're
seeing, but that I guess is a possibility. the wall to the right, which is over the entry to the office and the storage room and the the way you come in, that's that wall has always felt really blank. Um, so that's a wall that I actually think kind of would
strengthen the room if you were going to do a mural. >> What do you think about welcome to the redstone or welcome to the quarry? One of those things. >> Uh, I will have I I will not weigh in on the content really. I THINK [laughter]
>> [laughter] >> I LIKE THAT BETTER. >> Oh my goodness. >> You don't like redstone? >> I don't. >> Yeah, I do, but not enough. I think reading I think text alone like honestly my brain is like if you're going to do that put it to the left as a kind of
overarching over something more graphically interesting because uh yeah I don't my personal thought is that that's not interesting enough >> okay duly noted you for being honest >> hey you know >> so much for give an opinion right
>> come work in an architecture firm you're going to learn what it's like to take criticism quickly you know like that's what we do all day long you know what I mean I just think that you know, we've talked about athletes or swimmers or something like that. It has to be simple, has to be strong, it has to be
big. >> Um, and and if if it's just text, it's a bunch of text. I mean, um, you know, we can it again, I think the idea here is that I think the committee is interested in whether or not you want to
engage an artist to come up with some ideas, >> which takes some time. So Doria, text, any text you might put in the pool will probably be replicated in the gym if you were to do something like that. Correct. >> Font font wise. Yes, I would agree.
>> But also potential wording like they're both athletic areas, right? >> See, it's catchy. You see, it's hard to be picking up. >> Well, [laughter] so a mantra we've used here, we typically say like this is, right? So [clears throat] we're talking about like Spartan Nation, we say this is Sparta. So, if we're going to put one
in the gym in the pool, like that might be something we'd put in both. >> Yeah. Well, let me speak to that for a second. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> So, in talking with you and others and Scans and the design team,
it feels like we're at a good spot where we could go out, we could have Fontaine bring in a graphic designer would, you know, we give them some direction like Sparta or whatever, you know, whatever it is. >> They come back with some options. If we like what we see and we pick one,
then we turn them loose. The investment [clears throat] in this is very likely under 25 grand a building. >> Yeah. I I think I would just like some of >> It's not a lot of money. >> Something that in the pool would parallel what's happening in the gym. I don't I wouldn't want them to be like separate.
>> Well, agreed. >> You know, there there should be some type of connection between the two where they complement each other in some way. You know, >> Dory, correct me if I'm wrong, but the issue with just text in the gym, you were showing the location of the screen, that's in conflict, right, in terms of what was
>> um No, I'm not I mean, you wouldn't Well, I if you you can flip back and get a sense of that. >> Yeah. >> Um I mean, and and again, what we were trying to do is incorporate the the gray and white as well as text. Um uh and yeah, you could do something similar. I
think the one thing I would want to point out, and maybe this isn't a big deal, and everybody is already there, but the pool has is branded with the red and gray for sure, but it's also still a community pool that has um
Does it not have the Marlins? Don't they have their own? >> It does have the Marlins. Yep. Yep. >> So, um, >> welcome to the Redstone. It is [laughter] >> right. I see your point. That doesn't that's not it's [clears throat] strictly Spartan based. It's more more East Long
Meadow based. Okay, I see the thinking. Um I if you could go back to that slide with those other murals that might be helpful too. Um so [clears throat] you see I will say on the text basis the simplicity of the
number of words and letters helps with the scale and size. So, whatever we come up with, if it's text based, I think we can you can show some layouts and get that. And then you're just using the color around it and the background on it. Um, on the left, that idea of the
sort of like the athletic silhouettes. I think there was some conversation about like a, you know, a swimmer emerging from the water as a context, you know. So, I think >> it it you want to give a few concepts. Yeah. >> [clears throat]
>> But certainly, yeah, this is >> everyone general approach. >> Yeah. >> I don't mean in terms of what it looks like, but just the process >> engaging in graphic design and coming up with options >> versus the standard design that we have. >> Yeah. Second.
[laughter] >> [clears throat] >> Oh man, >> I think you just change Trojans to Spartans and call it a day. >> There [laughter] you go. >> He's pretty sharp. >> Whole new color scheme. >> Well, yeah. I mean, [laughter]
>> 25 grand. That's good. >> Any other questions, comments on on that idea? [clears throat] All right. Seeing none. >> Missed the end of it. So >> yeah, >> nothing. >> We're going with the Trojan. >> You're chair of a subcommittee.
>> Wonderful. >> The game starts in the heart. >> Another one. >> Welcome to >> talk more about this and we'll bring some [clears throat] >> direction to it. >> Okay. >> Dory, anything else on design? >> Um, no. You can flip back forward. Sorry
to have thrown you backwards there. Uh, okay. Uh, uh, just to get into the change order proposal that you'll be signing off on today. Should I, uh, you want to enter that, Ben, or you just want me to >> jump? You you were more on the ball with
it with me being out last week. So, I'd appreciate that. >> I appreciate the way we support each other on our um, busy weeks and quiet weeks. >> Likewise. [laughter] >> Okay. Sure. I'm gonna lean in closely. >> One, talk fast. Is that >> I'll tell Mark about our >> Okay. Sorry about that. So, generally,
this is change order six. Uh just want to give you a little bit of status on on what they're coming from here. Um uh 11R uh is um that we uh missed honestly in the concessions building providing a
paint finish uh on the interior. Um and that paint finish will somewhat replicate some of what you saw at the pool. It'll be quite simple but with a red band. Um and that was on us. Um, basically the concessions building was sort of on its own separate drawing track. Um, so, uh, we had to own that
that needed to be picked up. Um, the non-loadbearing CMU wall, there's a required clip that really secures it to the deck. So, it's a very small detail, but that small detail, it was agreed through the the process. Um, was essential to kind of anchoring those um,
CMU walls. Um, not actually a a big deal, but an important one. um steel tariffs by um kind of previous conversation topic tariffs were going to be agreed. Uh they were not something that could have been anticipated by um
the CM um or uh anyone at this point. It's such an kind of completely up and down issue. Um so any changes that are coming about through the tariff process are going to be directly applied to the owner's contingency. So the this is one of the tariff um invoices that we'll
have to face and there will be others. Um the adult toilet room the uh school decided that they wanted to have a unique um um hardware set that allows um visibility and access and a specific key for teachers only. So it's different
than the other um restrooms. Um, so that change to the door hardware, uh, what brought about that $11,000 change order. >> And then, uh, back in the day, there's a lot of discussion about ways to support LCAT's use of, uh, LCAT's coverage of
events in the, um, the gymnasium, the pool, the auditorium, and the LGI, large group instruction space, which is really the essentially the um, seven roads room. And that >> saved [laughter] it. You pulled all
that. Good morning, Curry. >> So, there's a lot of unique locations that we had to pull um some infrastructure [clears throat] to to be able to support uh LCAT in the school, and that's what that change order is relating to. So, all in all, total um cost of these change orders
together is $74,238.92. Um [clears throat] I >> I don't know if it matters, but LCAT has an E on it. I don't know if this is going anywhere, but Oh, right. Sorry. >> That's right. >> Yeah. >> Ain't long metal. Dory. [laughter] >> And if I could add some context before
uh the motion here on the steel tariffs. So Dory mentioned there will be other ones to come. We were able to uh purchase much of the steel for the building prior to these uh being in effect. Um so really it's largely just associated with the pool and then some
decking. And so it was limited as much as we could do. Um but it's kind of one of those unfortunate force major type of uh circumstances. So >> I think we did as well as we could >> honestly expedite some trucking just >> there was some strategy there and seeing other projects that got hit hard by it
like for nothing >> last year >> saved a lot approximately how much would the impact be if we had not done >> well this is only part of the decking I think the next one's even more for the steel it would have been 50. I don't have the exact for you, Frank, but we could sign. It's significant.
>> Talking like figures. >> We're talking easy. Six. >> Good work. >> Well done. Is there a motion to approve change order six? >> Move to approve change order six. >> Is there a second? We have a second. Any
more discussion required? >> Seeing none. >> Mr. Thompson? >> Yes. >> Mr. Christensen? >> Yes. >> [snorts] [clears throat] >> Miss Brown, >> yes. >> Mr. Quimby, >> yes. >> Mr. Paige,
>> yes. >> Miss Hill, >> yes. >> Miss Collins, >> yes. >> And I'm a yes. I think we pass. Any new business other than scheduling
the next gathering? >> [clears throat] >> Seeing none, Ben, when do you need people back? >> What I'd like to propose since we're getting into crunch time here. I mean, it's all crunch time, right, Mark? But, um, for meetings, if we could target the last Thursday of every month or, you
know, so long as that doesn't conflict with any holidays or any other town events. Um, we just are going to need one a month. [snorts] So, that h happens to work for everybody, it'd be great. If not, we can adjust. >> Can I push back? Sorry. Sure. >> Um
>> that's actually break time, isn't it? >> What? >> That's school break. >> Uh the 26th is going to be a little tough for me. >> Okay. >> Uh we have um curriculum night that night. >> So [laughter]
just so that takes probably Heather and Gordon as well. [clears throat] >> Invited [laughter] just teasing. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, what's important to us is just meeting once a month. So, >> you want to push it to the 5th and then just do the first Thursday. >> Yeah.
>> Perfect. >> The fifth. >> Can you make it through February? >> I think so. I don't want to speak for the rest of the crew, but I think uh given that we're at where we're at today, >> get jammed up, we can pull together a Zoom if an approval is needed. >> And I'll say, Ben, if you moved it one day back to the 25th, like that's fine.
It's just the Thursdays sometimes get tricky. That's all. >> I'd prefer that much better, but that's just me and Frank. Wednesdays. >> Wednesday. That's just as good to us. I don't know how we got into the Thursday groove, but uh >> Yeah. Yeah. I I'll say Wednesdays work much better. >> Throw people off. >> Same time.
>> A lot of stuff on Zoom. Could we promise to be done by 5 for conservation at 6? >> Yeah, that'd be a 2 hour meeting. But >> yeah, we could do that. >> Um if we feel as though the agenda is encroaching on that, we'll let you know. But yeah, we can do that.
[clears throat] >> So, are we going to Wednesday? Are we going with the 25th? >> 25th. >> Yeah. >> Can everybody do that? Yeah. 25th 3 p.m. >> rest of our team that seems to work right. We'll let you know if it doesn't >> and that'll just be and not you know we can carry that out as long as you guys
need but the expectation is probably through the summer and then we'll address what's needed from there. >> Okay, cool. Very well. Motion to adjurnn. >> Make a motion to adjurnn. >> Second. >> Lovely. Any any debate? You want to stay
for a while Mark? >> Say four. >> Tom. >> Yes. >> In a room. >> Yes. Good one. >> Ryan. >> Yes. >> Frank. >> Kathy. >> Yes. >> Kim. >> Yes. >> I'm a yes. Thank you very much. Okay.
Thank you. >> Thank you all.
