Bill Mead reported that he had a date to go to SFU (School Facilities Unit). A letter was given to Mr. Prigodich regarding that matter. He also reported that he met with Lucian Dragulski from Bemis Associates regarding the exposed piping through the Media Center and the ductwork in the gym. Discussion regarding this matter continued.

Mike Midgette gave an update on the project.
In Area 1:
• The Kindergarten wing exterior brick is done and the tarps were removed.
• The interior Kindergarten wing is completed and painting will begin next week.
• The ceiling grids are complete, lights and sprinkler drops will also be installed.
• Windows will be installed during the week of 4/18/05.
In Area 2:
• On the first floor 80% of the MEP is complete.
• Block work is 95% complete on the 1st floor.
• Exterior brick work is 30 % completed.
• The 2nd floor is 30 % complete.
• Ferguson Mechanical is installing large ducts in the corridors. This has slowed things down slightly.
• In the gym, there is an 80% slab on grade which has been removed. They will begin the ramps on the north side of the gym and construct a retaining wall.
• Cafeteria work has also begun.

Mr. Midgette reported that next week when the students are on vacation they will begin abatement in the cafeteria and the server area. They will also begin Hazmat in the gym where the temporary wall is located.

Mel Masse is concerned about the shelving in the kitchen area closet. He wants to make sure it doesn’t get thrown out. Next week Mr. Pavano and Mr. Masse will do a walk through to see what needs to be kept. Paul Wojtowicz from Downes Construction feels there will be plenty of time before Manafort Brothers begins demolition.

Bill Mead stated that the Linden project is beginning to come together. You can actually see how the project is beginning to look. The lobby is defined, the bus turn-around is near completion, curbs are
installed and the center sidewalk is complete. The Committee is very happy with the progress of the project. Mr. Pavano will make himself available to anyone who would like to tour the school. Please contact him for a tour if you are interested.

Ron Pavano spoke to Suzanne Greenbacker regarding parents parking in ‘no parking zones’ in front of the school. She told the committee that she has taken a great deal of abuse from parents regarding this matter. She has sent home many letters and still the illegal parking continues. Ron Pavano said that the reason the signs were in place was to remove the traffic from the streets to protect the children. Mel Masse stated that it is nearly impossible to get down Linden Street at certain times with the cars parked on both sides. The committee is concerned about kids and safety. Ken Prigodich would like to be contacted if she has any further problems.
