Mr. Wojotowicz asked Bill Mead from JCJ for the revised roof plan. Bill Mead will have it for him by next week. He also reported that the price of insulation has skyrocketed.

Mel Masse asked if they had used the curing compound for the concrete. Downes has not added the Peskon Solution to any of the concrete as of yet.

Bill Mead reported that the SFU had a question regarding payment #6. He will write a response and e-mail it to Kathy Binkowski to be put on letter head with her signature. A copy of the letter will be given to the committee.

Ken Prigodich gave an update on the Technology Committee. Ron Pavano, Ken Prigodich, John Laskarzewski, Kevin Ross, and Mike York from BVH met with Downes Construction regarding the technology for the project. The committee will check with SFU to see if the fiber optic they would like to run from the High School to Linden is reimbursable. It would be run above ground.

Mr. Prigodich would like a revised budget for technology for the equipment by January.
Downes Construction would like a schedule.

There was lengthy discussion regarding technology and bringing fiber optics to the Linden Street Building.

Ron Pavano reported that at the last PTO meeting the PTO is requesting permission from the committee to sell bricks as a fundraiser. The bricks would be placed outside of the Library in a small area. All the money raised would be put towards the playscape.

The committee would like the PTO to keep the maintenance low on the project.

There was a parent complaint that a large truck made a delivery and cut between the bus and the parent drop off area. Mr. Pavano spoke with the drivers and this will not happen again.

Mr. Pavano has been in contact with the Police Department regarding parents parking on the south side of Linden Street where “No Parking” signs are posted. Starting Monday, the Police Department will ticket any cars that are parked there. The fine will be $25.00. Suzanne Greenbacker has sent home many notes regarding this matter.

Due to a recent incident which took place at the High School whereby an administrator was assaulted, safety and security has become an issue. No one should be on the work site at Linden Street School in the evenings or on weekends. If you wish to see the construction site, contact Mr. Pavano for a tour.

The students have been taking “field trips” to the construction site and viewing the equipment from a separate fenced off area. Pictures of the construction are being placed in the building. The Kindergarten section should be enclosed within 6 weeks.
