Rodney Wolfel asked if the report had been sent from Trane to Ferguson Electric regarding the air conditioning noise. Ron Pavano told the committee that the report has not been received. The neighbor is aware that the committee is working on the problem.

Fire Marshall Larry Sutherland sent a letter to the committee regarding the fire doors in the building. Suzanne Greenbacker explained that the doors are very heavy and that there are no windows. They are hard to open and because there are no windows you can’t see if there is anyone on the other side. She is afraid someone will get hit with the door. Fire Marshall Sutherland gave several suggestions how to solve the problem. Downes Construction will look into them for the best possible solution.

There also was a problem with the fire alarm not being heard in the Kindergarten wing and is ringing as a silent alarm at the Fire Station. These issue has been corrected.
