A Motion was made by Bob Blazek and seconded by Mac Bramley to move Technology Update after public participation on the Agenda.
Motion Carried. All votes were in the affirmative. There were no abstentions.
The approval of the minutes of the August 3, 2006 was tabled until next regular meeting.
Public Participation
Winnie Harrison had additional comments and questions regarding the gym wall. It is being brought to current standards? Where are the games going to be played? Why is it not going to be ready until next year?
Technology Update
Andrienne Longobucco stated that technology was going very well. They have communicated with the contractors and the BOE. She added a column on the spread re: when they thought they would need these items at the schools. She asked if the building committee would consider purchasing the Vbrick system now so that it can go in a block of classrooms.
Peg Perusse When you approve this it has to go to the State and then out to bid. You can approve the whole list and send it to the State and reserve the right not to buy some of the items on the list.
Jack Healy How long does approval take>
Peg Perusse Not long, possibly a few days.
The spread sheets were handed out and reviewed by the Building Committee.
Mac Bramley These items need to broken out between both buildings and we need to make sure it stays within the budget.
Jeff Zullo the $150,360.00 for the Vbrick system is a budget estimate
Andrienne Longobucco Yes.
Jeff Zullo Can we take this to the State in pieces.
Peg Perusse They said we could, maybe go two times.
Jeff Zullo Can we split the cost of the Vbrick system one-third/two-thirds between schools.
A Motion was made by Jeff Zullo and second by Bob Blazek to approve the purchase of the Vbrick Media Retrieval Server 16 Channel for a total of $160,360.00 of which $99,238.00 is attributed to LHS and $51,122.00 is attributed to LIS.
A Motion to Amend Motion was made by Mac Bramley and seconded by Bob Blazek provided that the State of Connecticut approves it being: (a) one of the entire plan; and (b) if allocation of two-thirds, one-third is appropriate.
Motion to Amend Motion Carried. All votes were in the affirmative. There were no abstentions
Motion Carried. All votes were in the affirmative. There were no abstentions
Andrienne Longobucco asked the Building Committee it they would consider projectors and screens for LHS 50 units at $2,000.00 each unit totaling $100K.
Jeff Zullo the issue here is that we would buy all 50 and only use 10 and the rest would have to be stored.
Jack Healy Id want to know what the breakout is.
Andrienne Longobucco I didnt realize you needed that. Can you tell me what lese you need?
Jeff We havent reviewed this technology in detail. A couple of weeks of review is a little more comfort level for me.
Jack Healy Is there anything else we should have for the State?
Jeff Zullo Is this project going to pay for non-capitalized equipment? We need to have a policy decision. The BOF and Capital Committee have asked me to convey to the BC that it isnt a good idea.
Andrienne Longobucco This list came from the BOE and technology committee decisions.
Bob Blazek Where do you cut it off and say its capital or operating?
Jeff Zullo We need to look at the total budget, add alternated and soft costs, etc. and then make a decision on these items.
Jack Healy Is it worth asking the BOF about changing the financing?
Jeff Zullo I will ask on Monday.
Dr. Vita Initially when we were working on this budget we thought there was $100K - $200K. A couple months ago the direction was to put together everything to make this project complete.
Jeff Zullo The BC has unallocated reduction in soft costs. We need the breakdown of LIS and LHS first.
Mac Bramley The total cost of the project will not exceed $33M and will not cost less than $33M. That state of our technology is more valuable than anything.
Jeff Zullo the BOF has the same outlook. FF&E is the most flexible are to allocate funds. But we are also talking about add/alternates.
Communication
Gary Waugh The BOE has forwarded a list they would like us to act upon.
Lynn Chapman Kelli Green has a conflict from now until December 14, 2006. We should put an ad in the paper. [Peg Perusse was then asked to put an ad in the newspaper.]
Mac Bramley There was a letter to the Editor in Litchfield Enquirer requesting we reinstate the plan to build an Auditorium at LHS. The Auditorium was never in the Plans for Litchfield Schools. There was a notation that there was an area where a future Auditorium could be built.
Gary Waugh I am concerned about the articles that have appeared about negative issues and personal attacks as to the honesty, integrity and competence of the Members of the BC. There also appears to be misinformation and incomplete information.
Jeff Zullo We have not has any progress updates in the newspaper. This outlook is very good. Is it worth it the release project status?
Lynn Chapman It is worth it. The schools opening is delayed because of construction it is a construction project!
Jack Healy The BC can not make decisions for the school. Delays are not our decisions.
Jeff Zullo We have not responded to allegations regarding the question of honesty, integrity and competence of the BC. We should update the Town about the status but not address those issues.
Mac Bramley Id like to applaud all the efforts of the BC. You are volunteers. I applaud the people who write letters when they get ticked off. I dont think we are being attacked. Thats a fact of life and volunteerism. Dont get thinned skin.

1.
The ceilings at LHS

Construction Manager Update
Louis Rosenblatt Area 1 (7-8 grade wing) remains on schedule for a September 22, 2006 delivery. Area 2 (guidance/administration wing) has had unforeseen condition subterranean issues. This is scheduled to be delivered on October 16, 2006. Louis Rosenblatt passed out monthly cost control reports. Project is about 57% at LIS pending changes for LIS at $97K. We have prepared change orders. Can we set up a separate meeting to attack these change orders?
Jeff Zullo We have 57% completion at LIS and have consumed 5% of contingency.
Regarding the Administration Wing a Motion was made by Mac Bramley and seconded by Kent Gilyard Motion Carried. All votes were in the affirmative. There were no abstentions
Jeff Zullo We have 50% completion at LHS.
Jack Healy Out of the $1.647M contingency, we have spent $400K
Louis Rosenblatt A special meeting will be required to make a decision on the gym walls and change orders.
Jeff Zullo [to Jack Healy] You have the authority to approve those change orders.
Louis Rosenblatt We have three options from HSN to fix Gym Walls:
1. Steel Columns (5 per wall) with an estimated cost of $65K
2. Rebuilding Masonry Wall to todays standard with an quote of $221K
3. Store Front In Fill with a total quote of $316K
Two Options from Pettini Engineering:
1. Post Tension System with a quote of $75,000.00
2. Fiber Reinforced Polymer with a quote of $80,420.00
The Engineer said we are not required to do anything to these walls. The Gym Walls are not unsafe. The Building Committee voted being these walls to code. O & G does not believe that HSNs option #2 is a viable option.
Jack Healy Is there any way to mix these options?
Louis Rosenblatt Option #3 is mixed.
Jack Healy At this point the Building Committee does not want the beams inside the Gym.
A discussion of all the options ensued.
Louis Rosenblatt Regarding the drainage from LHS - there is a stilling (siltation) basin that collects the water and is intended to slow the flow of water into the adjoining pond. I dont know if it will operate properly until the area is stabilized. A DEP representative cam two weeks ago to inspect it and she was extremely satisfied.
Louis Rosenblatt Regarding the Mock Room it will be done. Most of the ceilings have a finished coat and the BC should come and look at it.
Jack Healy Laminated Beams are clear coated?
Gary Waugh is there a potential if we put a ceiling up that there are things that have to be undone.
Louis Rosenblatt Yes, lights and sprinkler system.
Jack Healy Do we have a cost estimate for metal siding on gym?
Louis Rosenblatt - $32K, but the roofer said it is not a good idea.
Parking and Traffic Patterns
Jeff Zullo We are short parking spaces. I spoke to Louis about looking at parking expansion across LIS maybe going in 40. By net meeting can we have some schematic?
Louis Rosenblatt The parking flow was changed temporarily as suggested by the police.
Jack Healy Its a design that been approved. It has to follow that design.
Peter Bowman Its not a fundamental change but Youll want to have it approved.
Mac Bramley In the investigation of these parking lots, have we spent any money?
Louise Rosenblatt and Peter Bowman No.
Dr. Vita We need somehow, in order to accommodate parents, students and faculty, another 100 spaces. It is not just the school day there is not enough parking for special events after school.
Kent Gilyard There has always been a parking problem.
Wayne Shuhi Weve gone from 75-80 spaces to 19 spaces.
Loading & Dumpster Area & LIS
Louis Rosenblatt this issue has been agreed upon.
Jack Healy Faculty bathrooms at LIS.
