4:00 start the meeting >> today. I will do the guest stuff first and then we'll go through um >> but no if they want us they can sit through. He's brutal.
>> Renovation updates and then um any other business that would be the guess. So if you wanted we can do the renovation but first >> we'll do renovation updates. >> Well, welcome to the group de. >> This is what I've dealt with the last
two and a half years. >> Humor. I'm good with that. >> Oh humor that I need. I mean I'm okay with that. >> So we have dearis. Yes. And Sean here from EDM Studios. >> Yep. Sean, I think a lot of you have met
before, at least virtually >> as a floating head. >> The idea is now that he's um passed one of the deadlines he was involved with, he'll start shadowing initially more with me and then eventually as he becomes more comfortable, we'll kind of
trade off between the two of us as time goes on. >> So, I will um hand it over to Neil. to talk about the MBA. >> So demolition work is proceeding. I would say we're probably
70 to 80% there in the north wing. Um some things that have come up as I mentioned last we or two weeks ago when we were here um the floor is in pretty poor condition. A lot of cracking, a lot of uh unforeseen conditions that we're
going to uh try to address. um most likely with carpet or some kind of floor covering to improve the performance and appearance of the floor. As you recall, we had the finished floor in the original scheme was just a sealed
concrete uh which does not seem to be feasible. There will be some infill um and some other corrective work there. Uh some other things that have come up um the septic system, the cover replacement on the out in the field is loose. So,
we've got some advice um that recommends that should get addressed. Uh we're also going to speak with the DPW and see if they can address that. >> Yeah. So, after we thought maybe Dave could just fasten the >> 3x3 >> steel plate
>> steel plate, the one that we lifted for the arms. Yeah. >> So, >> it's the discharge of the >> pump chamber. So, it needs to be accessible for service down the road for you folks. So, it can't just be shot
into the top of the cupboard. Okay. Um, uh, electric, uh, we issued the proposal request for the reduction in the secondaries and we're working through that cost now. Um the we encountered
20 plus or minus rafters when we finished with the ceiling demolition that had um checked, split, or otherwise failed. So those rafters are going to have to get um sistered. We have the contractor looking at two or three different options as to how to address
that change and we'll have structural come back through and make sure those are the only ones we need to do and then release them to do that work. And then we found a small area of uh duct work that was wrapped with asbestous insulation above the ceiling in what
we're calling phase two, which is the corridor that goes out the the old entrance by the kitchen. So that that duck will get removed and um we'll dispose of it accordingly. So other than
that, um next week the contractor is planning to begin saw cutting of the floor for the under slab uh piping. They're continuing with the asbestous work as I said in the um return corridor and um
uh they're going to do a first window removal and markup of the framing and uh rough openings for each of the windows. So work is progressing. Um I think it's going as as scheduled and as anticipated
and um you know other than some small items everything has been relatively as as predicted. So we've been doing pretty good. >> Excellent. >> Yeah. Now everybody >> any questions? We I think we circulated
the budget at the last meeting. Um we're expecting another invoice from the contractor at the end of the month and when we meet again in a couple of weeks we'll circulate our budget update and keep that process moving forward. So that's all for me today. Anybody has any
questions, we're happy to take them. >> No. >> Back to you, Madam Chair. >> So, um, the designers here to help us with carpet. Um, fully knowing that we're
going to have to at this point carpet, not just a TA's office. And last time we met, we couldn't really, we didn't like any of the carpet that you brought. So, we have here her here for her expertise and viewable over carpet, wall, >> bathroom, tile,
>> pretty much everything. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, cuz the um the GC needs to get ordered. Okay. >> What's what preference that by saying it's not that we didn't like it, it's that we didn't think it would work the carpets with the hiding the the dirt as
much as it work. >> We liked the carpets, but they weren't what we needed and especially because the scope changed. It was just for one room. Now it's for the whole >> space >> space. So, we needed something a little stronger. >> Yep. >> No problem.
>> All right. I took what Tim brought back to the office and those notes from everyone and did bring, you know, some of these carpets obviously darker as you see in front of you. So, the first one I guess everyone seemed to like and this is a linear look is this entrance mat as
we walk in. Um, takes everything off your feet, you know, it's a carpet tile, easy for someone to replace. And then you walk into this either or but there's a monolithic on the left of me and then the right one has you know some kind of pattern
>> or a chevron. Yep. Herring bone chevron. >> Yep. >> So >> and both of these if we like the herring bone pattern. >> Um >> I think you guys can see it. Okay. >> If you if you want to look at it um there is a picture as well showing kind
of the field look of what each of them look like. Sorry. individually. Um, they do allow for multiple patterns too, which we can look at if we would want it just to read as a monolithic pattern. >> What this is here,
>> multiple patterns be more money or no, >> it can be from a labor standpoint as opposed to just doing a straight sort of grid or brick. >> Sorry, are those squares? >> These ones are this is the plank itself. This is a sample as it is.
Yes, it is. >> I guess that's I'm just looking to make sure when this project is over, we order some and have >> this what you show now. >> Yes. >> Oh, no. That's fine. I get I just didn't know if that was just >> a sample, but that's the actual.
>> So, those are the two to choose for all the flooring, but the bathrooms from what I understand >> and the kitchen. >> And the kitchen. So, I'll go into that in a minute. Okay. >> So, I think so. Um, >> I don't have a strong feeling either.
Wait, [ __ ] Both look nice. >> I have a strong feeling. Does anyone else have a strong feeling? >> I like strong feelings. Go. >> Yeah. Anyone? >> I think this gives, you know, again, it it gives it some kind of, you know, >> I think it will dark better. Probably
hugs it a little better, too. >> Well, >> it gives it movement, you know, as opposed to this monolithic one. Um, I would have been opposed to bringing both of them in in some capacity, but I'll go back to Tim on that.
>> Oh, bring both in >> if variety. >> If I want if we wanted to do that. >> The only caveat I'd put there is something we'd have to review with Carl if there would be a difference in price if we had more than one color. And it's a question too of from the standpoint of
long-term in terms of your operation and maintenance. Obviously, if you only have one you have to deal with, you only have one addex that you have to deal with as well. >> I think I think as much as I love doing a design with two, I think one probably >> I think one makes the most sense then we
have few cases, >> right? >> We can replace it anywhere. >> Yep. Exactly. As time goes on. >> Yeah. And I only like to throw stuff like that just to see how what kind of reaction I get. Um, so that's there. And then the
rubber base, which >> I think it's under your feet. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, just picking up on some of the gray on here. You know, this is kind of where I went to. Um, either or works. Um, you guys and give me that end color. But so,
I don't know how you feel about either one. The base that we originally had is gone. Now >> that's that color. You want to pull that one out. >> What's that one for? Are we >> We've kept that just so you have it as a reference point for the color of the tile cuz it's a pretty close match
>> of that burgundy tile and >> correct. Yes. >> So then it still isn't bad up against your dark carpet >> if you wanted to go that route. Otherwise, I know we had discussed potentially moving towards a gray. >> What do you think, guys? I think a
darker one's better. >> This one? >> No. No. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> He means this one for base. >> Yeah. Versus this one. >> That's interesting. >> I don't really care. I like the lighter though. >> I'm I'm go either way. What do you like,
Dale? >> I could go either way, but I think I like the lighter one, too. But it doesn't matter. >> Me neither. Go the lighter one. >> Yeah. What is your expert opinion? >> I brought you both. Don't bring me back into that of that weak answer.
>> I loved it. >> Well, um the dark one I don't mind. Actually, >> the the nice thing about the dark one is it does have a little bit of warmth to it. >> Um a little bit of pink. The lighter one is a little bit on the cool side.
>> Dark it is. I'm happy with dark. Plus, it matches that brown a little better to be honest with you. I think. >> So then I introduced a general color that Tin brought and I think everyone was kind of in agreement to this here.
So I think I'll take these away. >> Wait, I'm going to take this away cuz we're not using this, right? >> So we'll take this away. Anything we don't care for, I'm just trying to create this palette together. Um, so that's most of our offices, right? the
corridor space and then when we walk into areas or maybe we can add some accents in the corridor. I was talking to the team um you guys have kind of these departments that we can kind of differentiate with a color. So that's
where we can add a color there either to the wall. So, I was proposing as you walk into the corridor kind of in the space where there's like a Tim help me here this
>> the knuckle if you will leading towards the DA's office >> that could be one color you know and that kind of different that kind of gives you some wayinding and then as you walk down that long narrow um hallway you can bring in some color you know and
spurts you know every word the doors are. Maybe kind of frame those doors. Let's say two doors are kind of close, six or seven feet apart. We can frame that with a color. Then on the other wall, frame that with a color. It could be the same color. We're just bringing
this general color with another accent. So, I brought in these. I'm not sure how you feel. I know everybody kind of and like this blue that everybody cared for. You can do that as well. So the whole hallway as just the base
would be one of these. Yes. And then only at those holes frames. >> So I kind of break it up here. I don't know if you want to look at it, Lyn, real quick just to understand. So here's a door. I kind of framed that area. When you walk into the next space,
>> another frame of color. Another frame of color >> because right here is a doorway by. So, if you guys just want to look at kind of my little markup. >> Yeah. Or so it's an option if you want to go down the option
>> um in terms of trying to put a little bit more visual interest into that hallway as you go down through it. Alternatively, we can just paint the entire corridor >> a color and you already have the mural on one side which will remain
>> and that can kind of be framed with color on either side or we can just take one wall on the left or right and just paint it one whole solid color and that can give it some dimension there and we don't cut it up at all. >> What do you normally see in a town hall
that you've done recently? Um we've brought in different color. So I did Bristol City Hall and one of our um in Connecticut and we did a little bit of a the walls were kind of these
curves and those curves became these accents. So the flat wall would be a general color and those curves in this case there's no curve. So, I was just trying to bring in kind of this look of color in in this space. So, it's just not bland and it's just not this
corridor that just gets lost. >> It it potentially be something like memorable to someone like, oh, like I know that the department that I need to go to is the one because I remember that. >> It's just to add a little bit of interest other than just having it be
all, >> right? And also when framing something like that, we you can introduce, you know, we've in the city hall that I've done, they introduced a little bit of uh some of the artwork, the town artwork. Not that we would do that, but bringing in that frames kind of an space and now
you can put something on that wall if you like. Well, I definitely like a color in the turn where the hall turns to go to the TA. >> No one else likes that.
>> So, as long as you don't pick too many colors, >> right, >> too many accent colors, it's not going to cost any paints. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Anticipate the feel. So, so to brighten it up and there's to make it
a a place of it that has a psychological feeling for employees to come in every day the space that's been through that before. >> And I'm glad you brought that up. >> So, I'm okay with splashing, especially in the corridor, splashing some colors in there to there's no extra cost. it. I
think it'll it'll have an effect on >> the well, plus the the the stigma that this project has. So, if people were to come in and walk down that corner and say, "Oh, wow. This is this is bright cheery." >> It'll it'll >> It's not a pig with lipstick.
>> Right. Well, wasn't didn't someone say that at one point? So, I guess >> I guess we could start off at the base, though. >> These are so similar, right? One's a little more yellow. >> Yeah,
>> one's a little more yellow. One's a little bit more pink. >> They're going to look the same to me. >> Um, >> the brighter the better. I >> I think I have the brighter, but >> yeah, the one in your left hand is definitely brighter, >> right?
Yeah, it's more yellowy. Yeah. >> And what what are you expecting that? Uh eggshell or >> Yes, >> eggshell. Correct. Oh, I'm going to put it in here as the >> things. They're reject. Okay. And then so I guess you guys have a wing
that is kind of away from space. >> It's off the corner. >> Yeah. So, it's right there. So I would that's where I kind of would propose if we went in the direction of this is one department, this is one color here, you know, in this corridor and then there's
another color in that space and it kind of differentiates. Oh, this is that department. That's that. >> Yeah. And you and I and Sean, we can kind of work through because to Jim's point, I don't know that we want a color for every department cuz I believe we
have >> eight, seven or eight. >> Yeah. And so it's it's it may be more a matter of we kind of work through zones if you will if we have like two or three colors >> that kind of
>> we can develop something with you. >> Lyn, is that okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um are you guys opposed to having an accent within the off the you know different office space? >> I think I think we having an accent wall. >> Okay, great. And that would be the one
>> opposite the window >> the one where the the door is at. So that would be the accent. Would it well are you >> against it being uh would it be the same or >> a different color >> across all the offices?
>> Yeah, I would assume it'd be the same, you know, as whatever we show on the corridor side. It would be the one that would be inside the offices. >> Oh, okay. Is that something you're good with? >> Yeah. Yeah. keep it more neutral before we start trying to pick
>> colors for different offices. >> And I thought that it was going to be one of those Graby blue color. We thought maybe to bring Graham blue into it. >> Y >> cuz blue and white. >> So this is where I kind of bring in these warmer tones. Um I kind of brought
this in cuz you guys had that purple looking base. So just showing you that. And it was more vibrant. Um kind of in your face sometime. for some people or sometimes it's enough. Um, and then
these were a little bit not that. >> So, this is for the accent on one >> accent color. Yeah, >> I brought in these, but you guys tell me what you care for and don't care for. >> Well, is the base going to be this color
down the hall and in all the rooms? Is that going to be that color? >> That would be this. >> This would be the field color. >> Well, this would be the base and then that would be the >> base color. all the ropes and so what and you're saying do a different color for every department or keep it the same
color. >> Well, that's where I come back to are you okay? >> The same color or we're choosing too many colors. >> So everywhere any accent would be the one color. >> What do you think? the inside the
offices the the the wall opposite the >> the windows. >> Yeah. >> Which I think in some ways makes sense to if only from the standpoint of when you have a brighter light inside too
what you see is always going to be the same from outside the building more or less. >> Sure. Yeah. which there's some sense there's kind of getting back to what we were talking about in terms of what you see from West Street. At least the portion we're doing has some consistency.
>> Any thoughts? >> No, I agree with that. What color you choose is if you're going to use the the uh gravy blue or and then just use the >> So, one of these two I mean I think those colors are really pretty, but I I guess I think we were
just trying to tie it in to Graham Pride. But >> okay with that. Then the out. What would you choose for the outside accent colors? >> The hallway. >> The hallway color. >> The same blue. >> The same blue. That's kind of where
everybody seems >> different color. >> I wouldn't mind, but I think going back to their comments, I think it's just one color that they prefer. >> Well, I think we're talking about a lot of different things, I suppose, at once. >> Yeah. So, I mean, at first you brought up the
um the change in office space >> being a different color. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And then we we kind of pivoted to something else. So, >> um >> so let's nail let's nail down what we're doing in the corners first. >> Yeah. >> Which is this. And and then
>> and then the question is, do you want to do different colors around the doors depending on the office or keep it all the same? Well, you're talking about eight different colors now, aren't you? >> Uh, what's how many offices are there? 1 2 3 four. There five. Oh, but then
there's the conference room. >> Yeah. Plus then the TA. So potentially seven programs, if you will. Because the one thing I could see doing too is create as opposed to going to the extent
of six or seven different colors, do a rhythm >> Mhm. >> of colors. So whether it's two or three colors that you just kind of rotate through as you progress, which depending on how far you want to take it could be
literally different colors. They could and demar I'm sure you have other ideas too that you could suggest but um or could even be different tones or >> I would do tones if anything cuz it is office space right if not
>> go ahead >> I think I would have wanted a separate color from the offices on the corridor so that would be three right you have your general color you have your blue and then whatever comes I mean your blue in the quarter side
again bringing that theme of you know this is where you are kind of picking up on that and then in the offices because or departments no certain people are going in there you'd get one color for those departments. So every department
would have the same color correct. >> Yeah. >> On the opposite of that of those windows. So, >> and and so do you want to do blue in in the offices or do you want to do all knowing that this is the carpet? I'm
sorry. This is the carpet. >> I pick one of those blues for the accent walls in all the offices. >> And then pick two or two or three colors for the the corridor that you're going to >> Yeah. You don't have a gray. You want to
do a gray for an accent color? A darker gray. I would I can match that gray. Well, let's go to the blue. Which blue do you guys like as an accent wall knowing that this is 3/4?
Do you want the wall to be darker? No. Oh, yeah. This is the brighter one. >> Mhm. We'll go with the brighter one. >> This one. >> So that in the offices
>> Yep. I I need to see it. Square them some for me. >> I'm not good at putting it all together. Yeah. No. And remember, it's paint, >> right? >> Repaint in two years or whatever. If someone's >> has that big of a problem with some of
the accent colors, then they just have to live with it till they come in on a weekend and paint it themselves. >> So then would you do an accent color? I don't think green works at all. I want to do green. That's just like a random color. Actually, all those colors are
kind of random, but pretty. If I was doing a house, >> I wanted to bring in different blues. Okay. And then are you how do you guys feel of those? >> So this would be the accent color in the hall then.
>> So that would go be would go around the doors. >> The brown tone might do well. >> The darker one. >> Well, particularly cuz we have that glaze block. >> You've got glaze block that's of that
>> map. You're going to have mill work in the doors. >> It's going to have brown use in them. >> What What are we painting the door frames? >> How we doing? >> The hollow metal ones. >> Yes. >> So, the frames would I would actually go
with just two or three shades higher than this >> and it'll be satin. >> It'll be what? Satin. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, they're different from the wall cover. >> Yeah. just a little a touch nur. >> Yeah.
>> So, just to recap, this is in the offices, right? And then in the corridor >> were a little open to this color and the corridor would just be around the door or is it like on the floor
around the door? Lower around the door. >> Essentially, think of it kind of picture the doors. It wouldn't be on the floor because this would be your >> Oh, yeah. And you have this on the base. >> Could we eliminate the burgundy base
infill in the cor where there isn't the glaze block? >> So, where we have infill, I think we would still do the burgundy >> just because where we have a glaze block, we want to match it as closely as possible, >> but that really would be the only
location. I mean um um can I see the burgundy color? Sure. I just want to looks very nautical. Let's >> see. Um or the other thing she can do is
instead of this color do gray. >> Mhm. >> I just think the gray would kind of wash out. >> Yeah. It'd be cold again. >> You're not warming it back up. I could see doing something more like um like a taupe potentially.
>> I just think that maple syrup color is a little not right. >> That to me is better. But I actually would like any I'm okay with any color. Can you share? I mean any as long as it's the color and in the shade of brown.
>> Yeah. But are we trying to brighten up the hallway? Make it a little bit more lighting. >> Right. >> And the other thing is I wouldn't I wouldn't go around the doors. There's there's going to be natural breaking points down the hallway where there's >> there's glaze floor.
>> Mhm. >> Pardon me. >> The glaze block partition. Yeah. >> So you're saying put the put the color there. >> Yeah. and go go from where the door or this side of the door to wherever there's a natural thing. >> So find a natural corner basically.
>> Correct. That's what I would >> that's where that's >> I guess I don't I don't >> you saying going around the door, >> right? Yeah. So don't do that. >> That's that's going to be difficult to to >> where you stop cut it in >> and then and then cutting in to another
one to match it. So it you're not getting this find natural breaks in the wall >> in the corner. just to start one color. >> So where are the bricks in this? >> So I think to that point you you have the one door there. I think what we
would want to do then >> is use the accent >> essentially the way you would do it. You know how you have the glass block from opening on one side >> block except the field color >> and fill the other side. Okay.
>> So, >> and then when you look beyond that, >> take a look at that. >> The dominant color in the hallway now is knuckle. >> Yeah. >> And that's where we're trying to stick. >> That's where the accent goes as opposed
to stopping it on a flat plane. >> So, we can take a look at where it breaks and then bring in this color. >> So, so why don't we just pick the colors and then later on we can do a field walk through. >> Yeah. You could see where it stuck these st. So you're I like this color. Um if
you want to go a little warmer, I can do that. And I'm not opposed to this one either. We can change that as can. Can I see that one again? >> Sure.
>> This one picks up kind of on the door >> the door frames. So that's why or that's where my intention was. I'm okay with I personally don't really I I'm okay with either of them. I mean, this kind of picks up that. But, um,
when we get to this point, they're actually painting, they can actually do a quick mockup. >> Yeah. Stop. >> Yeah. And we can choose. All right. So, pick one. >> I like the dark one. >> This one? >> Yes. >> Yeah.
It's going to be an offic. So, I mean, you might be able to introduce some >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Or do both of them. >> Yeah, we can. >> I don't mind doing both of them. That would be great. >> Well, especially if we're going natural baking breaking point.
>> I think it just brings everything. >> We can kind of >> do a little bit of way finding that way. Well, as they said, you know, wherever this CMU kind of stops and starts, we can look that come back through and we'll do a walk through as we said. So,
we agree with that. >> Okay. >> So, we're not just so I get it clear, we're not going to change the color in the round portion when you take your left to go to the TA's office. >> That potentially would be because you could do it break it at the corner where because you know how it kind of widens
out with that square. You could potentially paint a lot of that. >> There is a lot of brick still in there which is something else that we need to work through. >> Okay. >> And turn and we'll I think what we'll do
is we can do a rough idea of it and then to Jim's point when we get a lot of time. >> Okay. >> All right. a lot of that. >> This is what I was proposing in that space. >> It's pretty >> because it just turned the corner and
there was >> we may want to go to either side with the color. >> Well, and you also have across the the um mural. >> So, >> yeah. >> All right. So, next. >> We're not done yet.
>> He's on his phone over there. No. Um, >> so then in the spaces where we were Well, actually, no. Let's just go to the door. Yeah. >> Right. Um, so I put together kind of these three schemes based on the the
ones you cared for and I wanted see what your thoughts are. So, this is going back to the clear red oak again. Kind of lightening it up. Um, this just gonna bring it all together. But
this is the laminate. I wanted to introduce two colors to that. The top and bottom of those cabinets. So that's where we kind of have two different plastic laminates if you cared for. Or we just stick to the one. >> Wait, what cabinet?
>> I'm thinking what room are we in? >> Yeah. >> Well, because I'm bringing in the doors, so maybe I should just stick to that. difference. So, these are the four that we liked, right?
Or at least we were we spoke to and I was proposing the lighter one. I was good with that. >> The lighter one because it uh popped with the darker carpet. So, now that we've narrowed in on these, if
we're still here, or are we going into some more of the red? >> The lighter one. >> These two are definitely out. And then it' be this one or or this one. And I like the lighter. Okay. What do you
think? >> Sounds like a decision. >> Lighter. Yep. Sounds like, >> right? >> Which which is surprising to me cuz I like dark, but lighter will be easier to take care of. >> It'll show less of nicks and scratches. >> Yeah. Well, Tim had mentioned last time
we met with with >> you liked the dark. >> I really like the black just like you. I was like, damn. But I was like, okay, cool. >> Yeah, but you didn't bring it. So, >> I >> I can't convince them. Well, we we did bring some dark codes in
because we know, >> but it's a good point that it can get dent, you know, scratched and so on. Um, but because this is more of a space where adults are in and not really children, that's where I was okay with with going dark. Um, so
do we want to go into the cabinets or into the LVT that's going in the bathrooms and kitchenet? finish up the the uh >> the floor >> the kitchenet on the kitchen. >> Oh, not the >> Okay. So then the laminates based on
>> the lighter. >> Are we going here? Definitely. Yes. Okay. >> Yep. >> All right. So then that's where I introduce a two-tone. So I like bringing in the bottom, you know, either the base cabinets being one color and the top
upper cabinets being a different color. It also brings in the color. So that's this. We can also do your black. Um, so and then either
I'm I'm a fan of the ones with some speckle. It would bring in some of the brown in it. So either or what's that? Counter top. >> This would be your solid surface counter tub. This is a different black as well. Different grain. This has a pattern to
it. And I'm sorry you guys don't see it. I see the pattern. >> This is a more, you know, wood grain. And then this just has kind of a graphic to it. So those are what I'm thinking. >> What What color are the walls in the
kitchenette? >> So they're going to follow the same trend. >> The light. >> So they're still going to use those standard. And there's going to be a blue >> for the wall. Um >> there's going to be an accent wall in the kitchen. >> Yes. So where the back So I usually
would have a backsplash in this case, but I mean sorry, not in this case. So I would bring in color to that back wall where the cabinets are. >> Yeah. So >> this is where we come back to these two. Do we bring in this blue there or this
maple syrup color? >> Or either this one. >> What do you like, guys? >> Are these two the same? >> Close enough. >> A little bit more. >> This is a little less uh the speckle is a lot tighter. >> Yep. >> Yeah.
Do you want to >> stick with the laminate? The wood grain laminates. >> Those two. >> These two. >> Yeah. Or these are wood grain. That's wood grain. >> Yeah. >> Not black. >> That's not. >> So, not this solid color.
>> No, those are >> Oh, okay. I would do those. So, can I just pass them around really quick? >> I think the blue with the >> I just rather get everybody's So far a good exercise. >> The camera. >> I like those too. >> I do too.
>> Do you like circles? No. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's it's um we can bring >> Okay. Just cuz >> Wait, what? What are you saying, Jim? >> Oh, light a lot. >> I don't care for doing countertops being dark. >> All right. So then she bought out the
gray. >> Why not? >> Like a full table. >> I said they're scaled. >> Look at this >> solid surface. I mean, you're going to wipe this. It doesn't matter how much you paint it. So that's where I I'm always with. But
>> pretty durable product. >> I also bring that gray. So >> gray with the blue one. I don't like the gray with the blue and the Well, that's not bad, I guess. >> Now, put the other one. No, no, it's the
It's a different top and bottom. >> So, put the put the light bottom, dark top, and then >> Oh. >> Oh, yeah. I like that. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> Wait, it's Do you want solid one color
cabinets? You don't want You could do one solid color, too. >> So, what are you what are you saying? The uppers are going to be one color and the >> It's fine. >> So, those But >> so, make make the blue the base.
>> Better. >> Well, I would make the I would make the blue the uppers because that will show people kicking and stuff where the lighter color won't show thing. >> What do you say, sir? So the base would be the more wood
lighter grain and then the top would be the solid color. But I'm not >> but I'm not I'm not opposed to either. >> And this will be the backsplash also. Thank you for
>> Yeah. So it'll be a chest exercise to you guys. You know that right? >> But >> just poem. Yes, dear. I'm just trying to make the conversation. >> Yeah. >> All right. I'm not opposed to yours though. I actually don't >> opposed but doesn't like it.
>> No, I do like it. I'm just >> Look, I'm really surprised that someone suggested it. >> So, >> wait. Oh, wait a minute. No, before you do, um the accent wall behind all of
this. So, are we good with this color >> or would we go into the blue or either the maple syrup? Yeah. Now, how does it work? >> Um, this and this and this work good. >> I like the blue
>> top. >> That would be an accent gray. >> And that's just >> one wall and then the rest >> side walls are going to be the field color. >> Yes. >> Can I Can I see that other grain? Just I just want to look at it because I haven't looked at it before. that
you move it away. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> And you guys don't like the black cuz you think it's going to show spots. >> Just let me make a decision. >> Meaning it's not going to show anything. You want to see that it's very
he so funny. >> Actually, the gray. I like the gray. >> What do you want for the accent wall, people? >> Neil likes the blue. I don't like that one. >> No, I said I don't like the blue.
>> I don't like the blue with the blue. >> I'd say the maple syrup like going to like it. >> I like the maple syrup. >> I know your chief. >> Yes, maple syrup's beautiful. >> Right. >> Mhm. >> I love it. You're probably going to have to get an email afterwards and we're wasting a
bunch of time change all of our votes. >> I can't believe what they picked. I mean, >> let me pick >> I really like it. >> It'll be a fun writing. >> Nothing writing. >> It also picks up on the graining on the
doors. >> That's where I'm at. >> That's beautiful. >> I like that. >> Nice job, Chief. Don't change your mind. Like, I don't know. That's good. All right, on to the the bathrooms. Bathroom or the laminator. >> Jim has strong feelings about the
bathroom. >> Oh, you do? That's what she said. >> So, at the we we have the LBT going in the kitchenet as well and the bathroom. So, I was trying to introduce two different
colors of this this book here. So now that we've kind of >> gone here, right? We have this color. >> We can >> 20. Pick the other two. >> We can stay in the neutral zone with two
different accents there or pick up a nice color. >> Wait a second. Sorry. >> The colors are about to change. Well, there's also the taupe color on the bottom near the orange that would work too. >> This guy.
>> So, I just Hi, Mish. >> Oh, sorry. >> So, I guess these are out, right? So, I'm going to just hide them. And then from here over, >> we can pick um a nice again field one
field color. And then either bring the second one as a bolder color or kind of just little accent. So pick one for the pick one for the kids >> and then stay away from that one for the bathroom. >> I know last thing when we took with when
we looked at the stuff last time we were trying to stick with two color two color blues >> for the bathrooms, but I'm not wedded to that. But that was the thought, the pop of colors and but now we have color in
the walls. So, so my idea in the kitchen was where that those base cabinets are, we would pull the LVT maybe 3 ft out and then the other color would be field. I don't, you know, it would just be just a
small accent to kind of tie in that whole wall. I don't know if you guys are, how do you feel about that? So, here's the wall. Yep. Here's the base. Here's the top >> of the wall. >> No, the cabinets. >> Cabinets. >> Oh, got it. >> There's the counter.
>> Okay. Yeah. What were we trying to find? >> How's that? >> In the kitchenette. >> It's beautiful. >> So, now what do you like for floor? This combination of colors. >> You want to bring them over here? Is this a
>> So, we're talking about the kitchenette and this is the LVT going down. I'm a >> This is a fit. >> So, >> knowing that this is the carpet in the hallways and all the rooms. >> Okay. >> This is the base. >> Yep.
>> Those are the doors. This is the door color. This is the >> uniform >> color throughout the walls. This is the accent wall in each room. And this is >> or that one. Can't remember.
>> Or maybe both. Yeah, those two were accents in the court. >> Our accents in the quarter. >> Okay. What were we choosing? Flooring in the bathroom and the kitchen. >> Before we go into >> So, the kitchenette is this color right here. >> That's the base, the wall base, correct?
>> So, maybe the floor matching the camera. It should be in the gray tones. >> So, I like the warmer that she just chose. I'm also not opposed to that one, but I do like that. Just kidding. Cuz see my is if this is like this, this
is like this. >> Yeah. >> It pulls from there. That's more matchy match. Can you go over here next? See? coming in causing some trouble.
>> Mhm. >> Well, this one the other thing too >> cuz the other the one to the left >> tree. >> Sorry, I didn't see it yet. >> Let me see. >> Too dark. >> Any thoughts, gentlemen? >> Jim, you had lots of thoughts last week.
>> That's That's the one I like because of the tracking of the floor. This one I thought be too dirty too quickly because we kept talking about keeping it dark. But yet this still has some color and it draws off the blue. That came into
>> Good job. >> What do you think? Um Gail, what do you like? >> What do you like? >> It's too >> I like guys opinion. I'll wait to see it come. >> I don't like this. I don't like that it's too yellowish. >> Yeah.
>> So, I would do this one. >> Or that's good. >> Would you keep it a solid color in the kitchen then? >> Oh, you add accent >> the whole kitchen. the whole kitchen or
something to what I was proposing. We're going to bring in a color >> like a square or whatever. >> It's right in front of the cabin. It's not, you know, it's just three feet in front of it at a different color. Again, I'm just going off of the notes that wanted people wanted to add some color
to this. >> We can keep it that as a field color. Leave it there. Yeah, the room itself is roughly about 12 by 15. >> So, it's a smaller smallish room. So,
that's the other consideration, too. >> But if you put the color three fade out, wouldn't it look like we ran out of color and then added another color? >> No. As opposed to like doing a >> You talk of like a center accent and then have that doing a center accent. But this is Yeah, I find this is all too
dark. But I know what you're saying by putting color in. Mhm. >> Put it >> and then put this put this in the middle like this. This is what you're talking about is taking a blue, put it in the center and put your tiles around and then you have your cabinet like this.
>> That's what I'm saying. >> That's what you're talking about. >> If you I I don't necessarily think it would be blue though. >> Well, I just use blue as I just That's what we have for colors. Oh, you want green?
>> No, no, no, no, no. >> That one's stick to the >> This is what I like. And I think just keep it one solid. >> You'll have the vinyl base at the base of the cabinets, right? So, you'll have the floor >> 4 in of the base color and bend the
wood. >> Yeah. >> So, it looks good to me. Again, this is your space, not mine. This is what you're going to live with. So, I'd rather have you guys like what you what you have. >> This room's like 20. What's this room?
20 by >> about 20 by about 15. >> So, 15 by 12. >> Yeah. So, so it's a little bit shorter. >> Yeah. >> Two colors in a row. >> I think the flooring is fine. That one solid color.
>> Okay. And then I we go into the bathrooms and I again introduce the same thing. You walk into one color and then where the partitions begin would be a different color or we can just go back to a solid color.
>> So you're saying like every time you're talking when you say partitions are you referring to a stall? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. So you said you want a partition that would be a different color and then the >> like the sink area and where you first
enter into the room >> would kind of define itself as one zone based on the color. >> Sure. >> So hatch the stall. >> So the thought is you have this sort of >> 10x 10t space in the frame which has your sinks.
>> I see. >> And then beyond that is where all your stalls are. >> Yeah. So the thought is potentially to differentiate between those two zones. >> Oh, I see what you're saying. >> Let's just kind of move into this install image, right? So
>> you see here there's two tones, right? Doesn't look bad. Not crazy. >> Um, we can go in that direction. >> You see how this is solid? It kind of defines the space. It just kind of breaks it up. So in the bathroom, I was trying to introduce where you walk in.
there's one color and then where that partition or toilet stall begins it'll be a different >> Yeah. It kind of differentiates between >> I'm going to get right to the point >> the shared shared space of where you are washing your hands or entering versus quote unquote the private zone of where
the stalls are. >> So this is just to get you guys to think about different things. Don't you know again we can go back to it. >> Oh, this is what you meant by the >> watching. >> Yes, >> that's what you meant by that. >> So, yes. So, they would come they would come in like you say from the doors.
>> That's what you meant by the kitchen. >> Oh, that's what you meant by the kitchen. >> Yes. >> You see where the cabinet kind of starts? It gives it kind of defines it. And then the other. >> So, >> Jim, last week you had an idea about doing two different color blues.
>> I'm not a designer. I'm rather than designer. different color blues. Yes, that's kind of where I was headed. So, going back to this, >> we would bring in, you know, one of these two or these two like just
slightly off, >> but we can pitch in again. We have two bathrooms. We have >> any one of these two with, you know, your field one that you've had in the kitchen. Any >> of the single user.
>> So, We can do that, too. So, we like this color, right? It's matching certain things. A solid surface counter is there, right? So, again, bring it back. >> Okay. So, my apologies. So, this one. And then you bring in one of the
>> blues. Kind of ties in. >> Yeah. That one's a distracting. >> It's It's blending into the >> Yeah. >> This is an accent wall. >> Yes. Not in the bathroom. >> Not in the bathroom. >> No, in the kitchen. >> No. Oh. department offices.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. I don't care. >> No, but she was just showing the tone of >> Well, I was just trying to figure I like Yeah, I get it. And then I get the other thing. The question is, did you want the two-tone? Cuz you said you want color. >> I said the ring color. That's not color.
That's >> right. >> I was talking about having the bathrooms being completely blue. One blue, the other bathroom being the other blue. and putting accent tiles of each of the other color blue in the other bathroom. >> Okay. >> Does that make sense? >> Yes. >> That's talked about last week.
>> Yeah. >> You don't like that? >> No. No. No. What do you mean? So, you're saying as you walk in there's blue. >> Um, >> so >> we don't want to introduce too many colors because of the price, right? So, but we figured if we got two blue tick pick two blues or two taes or whatever.
Um, but then we decide blues because it's going to be >> Mhm. One bathroom would be darker blue, the other bathroom would be a different tone blue. And then if we wanted to do something fancy, you could take some of the tiles from this bathroom and intersperse them kind of like that
picture. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Kind of have one be the accent and one >> and one be the villain, >> which is five. And so then you know you're in the bathroom. >> That's what I was just thinking. So well actually funny funny. That's exactly kitchen >> little accent against the thing if you
want to add these two colors in. >> Right. I'm just throwing I just chose this blue. >> And then in the bathroom, put this over by the sink where you wash your hands. So there's the water. This could be right where the stalls are. So there's your two accent. This is your act. This is your way to walk into the bathroom.
And then the other bathroom. You can flip it the other way around if you want or something. Is that what you're looking for? >> That's the general idea. >> Yep. At least that's not organizations. >> Which one? >> That's a banner floor. >> This one >> we're going back to the We did want to
add >> Oh, okay. >> That's what I think that was the plan. >> Oh, I thought we're doing pop of color with this with the pop of color. One of these >> in the kitchenette. >> Yeah. >> Oh, I thought we're in the bathroom. >> Yeah, we're back from the kitchen.
>> Yeah, the kitchen is right here. Perfect. Because it's too small. Well, cuz then when you said you wanted to add colors from the other room, so I was trying to drag the kitchenette into the bathroom by the blue cabinets. There's tones of blue everywhere.
>> Okay. So, the question would be what color floor? Um, that was what we discussed last week, but I'm I'm not married to that. I mean, you're the designer. So, >> I'm I am with him with I'd like to bring two colors into those bathrooms. I am I
like having that kind of you know change in um orientation for people here. So you're you're here and you know in this they're in this space. >> I am not. >> You don't like that one? >> I like them all. I like I'm partial to blue. So I'm happy with any blue being a
combination. But I think >> either of these three >> Yeah. But I think the top two probably are less oh in your face if you blend them. But I really like all blue. So I'm okay with any of those blues. >> So going back to you, I like the
lighter. And I don't mind bringing the light with one of these. So I'm okay with any. >> That's not choosing. >> Oh, no. You said I thought you said we're going to go with this one and then pop with this one. So that way they're
cuz this one is cuz you you didn't want it too popping, so you can't tell the big difference. So, I thought either these two, this one or this one. >> I like old. >> Yeah. >> This one's too dark. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And then on the other one, we flip that.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Great. And then now we're going to go to >> partitions or stalls. >> Stalls >> a lot. I know. >> No. So, that's okay. So, this is kind of why I went back to this two-tone, right?
So, we can make those partitions this bold, you know, kind of wall >> or we can go back to something. >> That one's out. >> Okay, that's >> that red is definitely out. >> Oh, I know. I'm sorry. >> Now, these two blues have a correct
difference to them. >> Okay, so there's that. Or we go back to something neutral. >> I don't like that green one. Is it gray? >> No, it has a green. >> It's a dark khaki. >> Yeah, but it showed green next blue.
>> So, there we go. So, then either one. >> I like that blue, but I don't >> That's my next question. Is this blue easy to It's the material, right? The material on it. >> The metal color is going to bear up better. >> Okay, that's what our question is.
>> What' you say? a lighter color is going to bear. >> Um, >> I think last week we were actually looking at that. >> We were looking at the >> No, not that one. I have it somewhere. >> It's called >> And that's the one I kind of like.
>> Well, it's uh basically an off-white. >> Yeah, that's what I'm looking for kind of. >> No, not white either. >> Wow. >> That's Oh, yes. I like the texture. >> Yes. And I Is that the one you like the texture? Because it's easier to hide stuff on there, too.
>> Yes. Um I like I think I like the textured one. The flat ones are just so >> bathroomish. Yes. And it's unfort Yeah. >> That's where you are. >> I know. I think they make people be happy. >> That's so industrial. >> You don't want them in there too long.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And it's nice up against both. Right. So, >> I like that one. Look at that. We did it. >> And it kind of matches. >> Yeah. >> Tim, this is set in stone. No phone calls from
>> And that is I'm a team player. How dare you >> ignore. >> Well, we were not against this. This is staying, right? Picks up on everything else. And then we were >> You said we were done. >> I apologize. One more. >> Is this correct? Shades. Shades.
>> So, going to the shades. We were kind of in between these four. >> Yeah. >> So the taupe >> ta >> this brown here then skip one >> this black one and then this really light gray. >> The one with your index finger. You don't like that gray? No. Up higher. Yeah.
>> You didn't like that one? >> I guess so. >> Because it was all this warm stuff. I kind of wanted to stay here. >> Well, that's my question is yes. >> Yeah. >> So I'm in these two. That's me. >> What's easiest to maintain? M again, >> it doesn't matter. They are very easy to
clean. >> This is not It's this is not an issue. It doesn't matter. I mean, I wouldn't really go the lighter route, I guess, but I'd stay. >> May I see that closer? Sure. >> I like the opposite. >> They're easy to wipe off with some
Clorox and, you know, a little bit of diluted Clorox. >> Yeah. Don't tell straight Clorox. >> Yeah. Don't do that. >> A whole of color. >> What do you think? Well, some of them already, you know, tell you that on their spec, but I don't like to tell
people that either. >> Where's the other >> It's It's the other uh that goes in. You said we have a lot of warm tones. So, what's our warm tone that goes in? >> So, in the offices, >> yeah, this is for the office, right? that base color wall color
>> and and the accent wall color the blue which is right >> on the opposite >> and and show the carpet. >> It's on the opposite. So he's right. It's not against this. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> This would be against it. This would be a
>> See, I think it pulls color out of that. >> Mhm. >> Which one did you like? This one? >> No. >> That one? >> That one? >> Yeah. You're staying consistent. >> That's what you said last week, too. >> Oh, I did
>> again. That one. >> I like you guys. >> Chief, what's your opinion? >> We didn't touch base on the countertops and the bathrooms. >> No, because they're walks.
>> I thought there would be solid surface, so that was my mistake. So Lynn likes this one. I like this one. >> I can't. And she had she liked something else. >> What did you like? >> Which one did you >> These two were where I was at. So I'm
good with that. >> I don't I don't really care. >> You don't like this one? Which one? I >> I like them all. If I was sitting by myself, >> you just I don't like dots, but it's fine. Either one. I don't care. It's on the wall. >> Oh, is that dots to you? Yeah, that's
>> So the frame would be this bronze. So wherever we go, I just want you guys So this is >> No, that's the window frame itself, >> but that's the same color. >> And the box that >> So that's kind of where I was tying everything that brought >> this. >> Yep.
Cuz you're going to have a box essentially like a 4x4 inch at the top. >> You said this one, Michelle? >> Yes. I want to see the email. I'm fine. I'm not going to I'm fine with that. I don't care. Just you're good. Okay. So, look at
that. We went back to to >> Yeah, >> cuz it has a little gray, a little taupe, a little so to draw, like you said, the warm tones and everything else >> to it. >> Notes on. >> I think he's recording it, too. So,
>> yeah. No, I've taken notes. Some of them are saying, "You helped us. Yeah. Sorry. A little dizzy. >> No, you're good though. >> I know >> you still caught up. >> Okay, good.
>> Oh, yeah. >> Thank you everyone. That's all I have. >> Guess I got to continue on the meeting. >> Um, just so you know, this is the um >> project >> the project sign that's going to be
going up. Hopefully by the time of the ground breaking it'll be out outside um >> I'm sorry in the picture itself you talk about >> this is what the signs will look like >> this will be the sign on the piece of board that people
>> I was like >> just so you see that >> yeah doing transaction desks Yes. >> So,
>> we originally said we wanted five. >> Do we really need five? Someone asked me. Um the point of the transaction um counters was in the beginning to separate the public from the employers employees.
>> Um but not everybody needs a transaction counter and it's going to cost money. Who doesn't need? >> Yeah, that's Can someone request not to have a transaction? >> No, but someone
clerk, tax collector, assessor need transaction counters. Does the board of health need a transaction counter? Does the um building inspector need a transaction counter? And does the >> building inspector, I would say yes.
He's going to have people that are going to bring stuff in that they need to put down. Well, it's the same thing with the board of health when you're looking at the septic plans. >> Well, and that potentially is going into the meeting room, right? >> Because a lot of the initial reasoning
for the transaction counters as they are right now is based around two things. One was a desire for separation between the public and the employee space, the staff space, so that they couldn't just
walk straight into their space. That was what drove a lot of it. >> Um, the secondary piece to that is initially when we went through programming, there was a stated desire in many of the locations to be able to have that function as a workstation as well.
>> However, Go ahead. So, does the planning board get one? >> Yeah, their their space has one as well. >> Well, their planning board would be >> their shared space. >> We don't need that. >> Well, your shared space though with the
um assessor >> Well, with conservation and building department, I think you're all kind of in that same. >> So, the building inspector would have one. So that's that's part of the question is one do we still do that
>> and two one of the things we were talking about earlier today is shifting gears away from it being functional functioning as a secondary workstation for simply being a barrier where it essentially just
allows people to sign papers both a standing height and a ADA height. Well, if it's not a workstation and it's just a counter, will it be big enough for people to unfold there? Whatever they >> No, you'd have to go to a separate space, whether it's to a conference room
>> or a table. >> Whenever we're looking at these plans, they're we're in a a room. >> Yep. >> That that the public's in, right? We're in a >> conference room. We have a large
conference room that we're rolling out >> plans to look at. So, >> we invite the public in with us. Transaction tops are for people that are that are making transactions with
with uh like the tax collector on multiple once throughout the day. Planning board. >> No, we don't we don't need it. Um uh the building inspector may may want it to chief's point. We should ask the
board of health takes in paperwork throughout the day. So she might they might need it >> being on the on board of health prior to you would need a counter. >> Yeah. >> Okay.
Health not only needs a counter so legal. >> So that's five. That's f back to five. the clerk, the taxes, u tax collector, assessor, border health, building inspector. So, we're back to five. >> Well, we we may I think we should talk to Tom. I don't know that he necessarily needs one,
>> but the point is it's a transaction counter. It's not going to be a workstation because we can't afford it. Like when we we got our bids um we're not even sure. So, we got bids from we didn't get the bid from Pathfinder yet. They can't do they can only do one by
the time that we can that we need to be in. Massore can do five. Not sure though if Massore did all the uh looked at the specs in detail for their $28,000 that they said they could accomplish five.
>> So, um so my question to figure because you said you're trying to get rid of it. Is it you just want to get rid of the counter and just put a wall so they have to come in and be invited in to go to a table? >> Well, more what we talked about on site today was in place of having something
that would have like this level of depth. >> So, it would literally be something that someone could potentially meet and look over more documents. literally reduce it to more like what you might see at a bank or at a pharmacy or what have you
where it's more like 14 in deep so that you could have a set of papers here if you need to sign something sign a check more something along those lines. So you so you're trying to make it that this size >> a narrower >> that would work as the board of health with the paperwork cuz I know what
paperwork they have to go through and if they have to look at plans that's when you go to a table >> to another space >> to another space to look at that I think the smaller one is fine you don't we're going to change the transaction counters to >> to transaction tops count just just
counters not a workstation >> um >> I see I thought >> the question is would it be four or five >> that was I thought we had initially was just that size. I wasn't expecting a full size. >> They literally have a computer right on the counter when they're dealing with paying people paying their bills.
>> The tax lady. >> And so what are you asking? >> I think they need a transaction counter. That's correct. Browns. >> No, they need they need a full-size counter their computer to go on top of >> which is the design. Well, the way that's set up now, to correct me if I'm wrong, they've got the
counter up on top and then there's a table below it >> where the computer is that they thought. Was there a monitor up top? I thought there was something up high. >> There is. >> Let's revisit to make sure that we up there. >> Let's impression the small one. I wasn't
thinking of pull one when you asked me for the counter. Literally, when you when you talked to me said transaction counter, I think of the small one on the board of health that's this big. I'm sure if we look back at what we originally wanted two and a half years ago, >> the terminology is somewhat sloppy.
>> Counter space to work. >> Depending on how you look at it, >> I use the terminology transaction counter because you're doing a transaction over it. >> But it's one of those things where it's more of a transaction workstation the
way it's drawn right now. if we wanted to make it a little bit more defined in terms of how it's drawn. And so, >> so what's the difference between a workstation and so what's a workstation? >> Workstation typically is about 30 in deep. >> 30 space
>> with knee space to allow for someone to literally sit there, do their work. >> So, the width has to be at least standing >> which which we do have them standing. And the the reason they were set up wider is originally based around there
was a concept at one point originally during programming two years ago where they had been talking about needing to be able to work at that location and have a computer set up at that location. Now granted that may only be the tax
guys who need that >> um as opposed to the rest of the program. Let let's put the brakes on this and circle back and >> with with the uh department heads double check >> what they need,
>> right? >> Yeah. Pennywise found foolish >> something they don't need at all. >> Well, and to the point that we've talked a little bit, at least Jim and I, it could just be something that is furniture in the end. >> Yeah. working with other city halls have
always brought them into the conversation cuz we don't know what they are do you know how they work. >> Yep. Which we had initially. It's just about the town clerk's office too. She says stuff all over that. >> Yeah. >> She has a white counter. >> Yeah. She has all over that space.
>> Right. >> So maybe it'll be a combination of work to be bigger >> transaction counters. >> See it's like you say it's my vision. What I'm trying to think, every time you guys see a transaction counter, I think of the small one like you said at the bank. >> To me, that's a transaction counter.
>> It's not large, it's whatever. You're not putting anything. Somebody comes over. Oh, I have this. Okay. Oh, you need more? Let me open the door. Come sit at the table. >> I'm I'm I have a different perspective, which is why I'm a little bit sloppier with my speech on it. >> Okay. >> Because ADA specifically kind of gears
it towards a larger unit. And that's where my head kind of >> I guess ADA. Yes, >> which we would still need to make sure we have knee clearance, but if we transition it more to being a simple
>> literally a transaction, we just need to make sure we have that knee clearance on the customer quote unquote side. >> The other side can literally just fall straight down at that point. All right, I'll send an email to um the department heads asking them what they
actually need for uh to air. Well, do they need a transaction from counter or do they need a work space? >> Okay. >> Uh before I move on, I can you guys approve the minutes from last meeting? >> Make a motion to to approve the March
31st, 2026 evening minutes. Second >> as written. >> Yeah. Is a second. >> All in favor? >> I >> um the well reactivation uh mclair sent
in the report to the D on April 1st and they could take up to 72 days. So we'll just wait to hear back. We also got about 10,000 for the well draw down so far.
>> Last bill was like 14. Oh, 14. >> There was another 3500 or something prior to that. >> So, we've paid him for half the job, I think. >> I don't remember. >> You see that one? >> No, >> you handed it to me. I'll get it to you.
>> I am right here. >> I'll show you that. >> That's fine. >> There you go. Uh, let's see. Grants. So, um, two things. The ADA grant isn't available to May 1st. I told you guys that already last meeting, but now we're
getting a lot of emails coming through for that. Um, I'm not sure if we're going to be able to apply for that one because there are five requirements and even though we have one through three, four and five I have to see if we have, which is a self-evaluation and a
transition plan. And I don't know when the last time Grammy did a self evaluation and I don't think we can get one done before the due date, >> but I'm going to um go through some files in the TA's office to see if I can find them.
>> Well, you're talking about assault evaluation. >> So for the ADA, um >> for the >> Yeah. So I have to look into that. and uh chief and I got a congressional spending
fund application in on April 3rd for funding, federal funding. I think we asked for >> about $10 million. >> Mhm. >> Um so that went in. We did all the
requirements to get that in. >> Oh, thank you. We got um Senator Ala and uh dome representative dome to write us letters of recommendation.
So that night waiting to hear back from that. So >> fingers crossed. >> Where did that go? That go to >> Marky and went to Warren Warren and Marky's off. They're behind it. Okay. because it's a
federal grant. Yeah, that was a lot of work. That was a lot of work to get done. Um >> that's what I kind of figured I should say thanks for doing that. >> You're welcome. And then lastly, if we can talk about the real Oh, wait. Um so
close. Just so we know, you guys know, we had an auditor request for all our documentation regarding OPM and architect choice to make sure that uh because we have ARPA money that we're spending. >> Yeah. um we had to send them all our
documents to show them that we followed the procedures that we needed to follow legally. So that was done since we met last. >> And then last, let's talk about the groundbreaking ceremony. All the
invitations went out on April 2nd and April 3rd. So far we have a one center Jake's coming. Um 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 17 about 21 people have RSVPd in town
uh department heads and um that doesn't include us. So there should be a few people there. The RSVP is next Wednesday. So once that comes in, I will then um go to Atkins and try to get
refreshments set up. >> Um you need help with that one, you know. >> So again, >> we're not letting them in the building that day. Correct. >> We are not letting them in the building. It's a active construction site. You need hard hats and uh it's it's it's the
GC's building right now and we will not be going in the building. They >> still be containing. >> Yeah. Right. Um, what else do you need to know about? So, we asked who's dropping the dirt, Jeremy
or Dave? >> Jeremy. >> Jeremy's dropping the dirt. Um, we're going to drop the dirt in the uh parking lot. Um, island. What do you call that? >> Yeah. Median kind of >> the median where there's grass on the
other side where those smaller trees are. Mhm. >> So, we'll drop the dirt there and we'll put the refreshments underneath the where the door is that we're not using to get into the school anymore >> because it's covered just in case it rains.
Um, so what do we do at groundbreaking? Do we talk? >> Sorry. >> I don't I've never been to ground breaking. So, does somebody speak? I
>> often yes it's usually a few remarks relating to the nature of the project and more often than not it's a grab bag of appreciation for people who have been working on the project >> okay
>> and who have helped it reach this point. Um, if you've had I know we've struggled with if we've had donors supporters, if we had those would be the type of people we would try to thank thank and bring up and >> acknowledge
>> boards and agencies that were so helpful to our process. >> So, our list is low >> including the ones that are currently working on it. >> Put a little pressure on that. Mhm.
>> Uh who who are we talking about? >> Warren. >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> very anybody that's out there. >> Yeah, >> Warren's not coming. >> That's fine. But if if if even if they even said someone for office should go on record that they were working towards
a >> right >> a grant for us. Okay. >> But there it's usually pretty simple remarks. At least the ones I've been to your wife.
Um, >> so there's no after we're done with everything, do we take the wine bottle like I do with ships and we're done? >> No, that would be the ribbon ceremony. >> Okay. So, who are we having bold shovels?
Does everybody um >> a lot of times they'll do them in waves? Yeah. >> Do the board select one first or select board, excuse me, first, the water second. >> All by yourself. >> Building committee. Yeah.
>> I don't think we're going to have all the select board members there. >> I think right now only one has RSVPd. I mean, um, >> we'll we'll have a dozen shovels. I think we have we have tw 10 or 12. So,
we'll bring them all >> cuz most groundbreings are mostly just in a a photo op. >> Okay. And the hard hats. Oh, don't we do we need hard hats if we're outside? >> If we're not going out if we're not going inside, we don't need hard hats. >> Okay. Yeah.
So it's more what I've run across is typically a question of again kind of groupings of people um where typically to Neil's point it will go down the list of governmental figures >> the building committee the uh design and
the construction crew um maybe the end users like department heads I could see doing something like that too. So that's that's kind of what it is. But >> I don't think we're going to have enough people in each one of those clumps
>> to do their own picture. I mean, I was thinking, you know, TA, >> OPM, architect, GC, either all of us or some of us on the committee. >> Simple. >> Yeah.
>> As opposed to doing I mean, we could do photo ops. I don't think I don't think we have enough people to hear everybody cast >> and of course >> you might want to give the opportunity to the >> to let them speak >> to let them speak as well if they have >> which I think
>> any remarks. >> Mhm. >> Cuz usually they always like to give a remark. >> Yeah. Even if it's only a couple sentences. >> Exactly. >> Okay. couple of sentences >> because he even he even gave >> long sentences sometimes >> the mortorials >> what we did
>> he even made a remark one of the senators came and made a remark >> so they always like to talk >> okay give them a time to bring >> so um and Oscar >> that's all I have got one minute rants
yeah all right so when do you want to meet next >> week in May Okay. >> Is that for the whole committee, Lyn, or just subcommittee or everybody? >> The whole um committee to meet uh May 5th.
Cinco deo with me >> and by then we'll be able to uh will we pass the groundbreaking 5526 4:00 here entertain a motion to end the meeting.
>> Motion to adjurnn. >> Second. All favor. >> Bye.
