Paul Wojtowicz from Downes Construction asked Bill Mead from JCJ what the status was on the roof
drawings. Mr. Mead needs to understand how the roof will tie into the gym roof. Discussion regarding the roof drawings continued.

The next Technology Sub-Committee meeting will be held on Thursday, March 3, 2005 at 3:00 pm at Linden Street School in Suzanne Greenbacker’s office. Mr. Iskra asked Bill Mead from JCJ to request an Electrical Engineer from Bemis Associates attend the meeting.

Mel Masse told the committee that they have a hot water heater being used at Linden Street School in the mechanical room. He is wondering if they could use the existing water heater and receive credit for the one that is in the specifications. Mike Midgette will look into it for the committee. Downes Construction also feels that a water softener would not be needed. The unit is a 4-pipe system and doesn’t switch from heating to cooling.
