Mike York from BVH gave an update on the project. They are in the process of re-routing the data voice cable, they will pull it back to the second floor telecommunications room. This will make the installation much neater. Because of this they had to relocate an equipment rack on the second floor which will add electronics and cooling. This process is being approved through Bemis Associates.

John Laskarzewski and Kevin Ross will add a data voice drop in the electrical room. They will install a security server, they are also requesting re-routing the existing fiber optic from the main office location to the storage room. The installation of the speakers and the speaker connections are in progress. Mr. York will coordinate installation of the projectors and smartboards with Emily Sledge from JCJ.

Ron Pavano would like Mike York to speak with Jim Adams if he has any questions on the project.

John Laskarzewski, Technology Consultant reported that everything is going great. He was asked about the absence of a smartboard and projector in particular rooms. Mr. Laskarzewski informed the committee that there would be a projector and a smartboard in every classroom. The committee was pleased with the update. At the next meeting John Laskarzewski will present the entire budget for approval from the committee. It then needs to be approved by the Board of Education and then go to SFU for approval. The projected budget for technology was $675,000.

Suzanne Greenbacker asked if a drop down screen would be installed in the gymnasium. Bill Mead will look into having a screen put in the gym as it was not in the original specifications.

Bill Mead from JCJ asked if a new timeline had been set up for deliveries of the FF&E. Mike Midgette from Downes is in the process of revising the timeline and should have it completed for the next meeting.
