February 21st, 2007 MINUTES Attending: Steve Murray (arrived late), Bill Kirkland, Wayne Shepard, Laura Moore and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:30 PM. The minutes of the January 17th meeting were approved. Steve is currently driving. One driver is out on medical leave and we are hoping for a temporary driver to come back. There have been a few days where a bus has not run but the staff have been able to notify people in advance. Laura and Jeff will be working together on the solar project. Storage needs were reviewed. Students at the Technical Center may be able to build something for a cheaper price. Paul Moccia is working with them on this. Security issues and needs were discussed. There is an effort by the SU to have all schools in the SU participate. Bill is involved at the High School level and will get more information when it becomes available. Discussed needs for the Crops By Kids group. They need a location near the School for their cold frames and a greenhouse. The front lawn by the flagpole and the lawn next to the Tech Ed. Ctr are two areas where these could go. There has been an issue with the gym floor. It has been very slippery and a white dust seems to be always on it. Steve will look into this. He is pretty sure it’s an issue with the cleaners and the wax that’s on the floor. An air handler needs to be replaced at a cost of $6500.
Steve Early will be working staff on a
security audit of the facilities.
The meeting adjourned at 5:45 PM.

January 17th, 2007 Minutes Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:30 PM. The minutes of the January 17th meeting were approved. The budget and the separate article were reviewed. Because of increased costs for new busses, and no increases over the past several years, a significant increase will be needed for busses starting in the next budget cycle. One driver is out on medical leave so Steve is driving. We are hopeful that this driver will be back soon and a spare driver should be available in either February or March. Steve is looking into an outside storage unit. Costs and different sized containers were discussed. Areas around the building where space could be better utilized were also discussed. Jeff is looking into solar power options for the school and will try and get something together for the February meeting. The lighting issue from the school to the parking lot has been addressed. A letter needs to be sent to Carol Rogers from the Superintendent okaying the use of a used bus for emergency services use. Jeff will ask Micelle to do this. Security issues and needs were discussed. There is an effort by the SU to have all schools in the SU participate. Bill is involved at the High School level and will get more information when it becomes available. Discussed needs for the Crops By Kids group. The composting has removed waste from the disposal containers but we have not seen any significant change in the cost. Steve commented on the size of the garbage containers as being a way of reducing those charges (we are charged on a per container/trip pickup, not by weight).
Engine heaters for the busses were reviewed in order to reduce the
amount of exhaust emitted by the busses. These will be needed so the
busses will have some heat for the students. This was tried in the past
but there was an issue with the The meeting adjourned at 5:45 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

December 6th, 206 MINUTES Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, Wayne Shepherd and Jeff Gagne The meeting commenced at 4:30PM. The minutes of November 16th meeting were approved. Budget items were discussed. The maintenance budget was reduced by $10K and there will be one bus driver position added instead of two. Steve will finalize the list of most needed maintenance projects for a separate bond item and give to the Business Manager. Barring any budget reductions, there are two part time positions still available. One driver will be coming back next year so we will have a spare (not including Steve). The two new drivers are now “on the road”. Steve will look into the light issue for the parking lot. He will contact GMP about an additional light on one of the poles and repairing the light on the side of the building. Bill commented that the High School is looking into money for security issues. They may also be looking into an SU-wide grant to assist in all three schools.
The compost/rubbish contract is every three years. We are putting less
into the dumpsters but we are not billed on a weight basis but a
container basis. There has not been a noticeable difference so far but
staff are looking at this in hopes to change pickups and save money. Kilawatt will be giving a presentation at the regular Board meeting tonight. The meeting ended at 5:40 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Committee Chair |

November 16th, 2006 MINUTES Attending: Steve Murray, Carl Rogers, Wayne Shepherd and Jeff Gagne The meeting commenced at 4:30PM The minutes of October 18th meeting were approved. Discussed budget needs with the Business Manager. Increases in utilities, bussing and overall maintenance require a sizeable increase in the budget. Electricity, wood chips and diesel costs have all increased in the past year. Steve will finalize the list of most needed maintenance projects for a separate bond item. Several projects have been “back-burnered” over the past several years and now need attention. A request will be also made to the Finance Committee for an additional bond item, similar to the roof fund, to cover large maintenance projects like the multi-purpose room floor replacement. Discussed bussing costs with the Town Manager. The bus budget has not kept pace with the costs of new busses (an increase from $55,000 a few years ago to about $80,000 next year) so leasing has been used instead of outright purchasing of busses. The added leasing costs have reduced the availability of funds for bus purchases ($13,000 alone in FY 07-08). A sizeable request will be requested to the Finance Committee to purchase busses outright in the future and pay off current leases in the next three years so finance charges will be eliminated. The air quality assessment
was reviewed. Except a minor issue in the copy center (still within
allowable limits), there were no issues found.
The forest project is close to being finalized and Russ will contact the full Board when complete. The meeting ended at 5:55 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Committee Chair |

October 18th, 2006 MINUTES Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, and Jeff Gagne The meeting commenced at 4:35 PM The minutes of September 20th meeting were approved. Not purchasing a new bus next year was discussed. This would help with increased fuel costs and pay off the financing of previously purchased busses. Because two busses were purchased this past year, offsetting the purchase of a new bus would not adversely affect the fleet but would positively affect the budget. Steve is working with the Business Manager on bus and custodial positions, including the new ones requested by the Board. The Committee looked at the current staffing on the bussing side. There is the potential of several drivers retiring within the next 5+ years. The two drivers in training are working towards completing their training sometime in November. Steve will finalize the special budget list for the Finance Committee meeting in November. Bill announced that the forest inspection is complete and that Russ will present information to the whole Board at the November 1st meeting. Bill reported that an audit was done for the potential of wind power. The project may be possible sometime in the future (5 – 10 years?). Air quality and storage were discussed. Air quality results should be back in November. An additional building may be needed for additional storage especially if items such as bikes continue to grow. Steve is looking into the possibility of a Town-wide storage unit where the Town, School, EMS and FD could use. The SU move went fairly well with no major issues. Things are tight but staff seem to be coping well.

September 20th, 2006 MINUTES Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, Terrie Salvadore, Carl Rogers, Michele Fagan, Jeff Gagne The meeting commenced at 4:35 PM The minutes of August 9th meeting were approved. Bussing issues were thoroughly discussed with the Town Manager, Carl Rogers; specifically ways to save money by increasing the amount budgeted for busses. This would save potentially $8,000 a year in interest charges. Bus routes, the number of busses in the fleet and how long the school keeps the busses were all discussed. It was determined that an adequate plan is currently in place regard those items just mentioned. Fuel costs and new bus purchases have dramatically increased. This will affect the budget in the ensuing years. Two busses will be sold and one will be purchased, reducing the fleet by one. This is because of a lower student population and less buys runs. Bill is still working on getting information on wind power. There are some issues with the budget in what was actually budgeted, this year and last. Jeff will try and get some answers from the new Business Manager once he is settled in. Discussion of a separate bond vote on maintenance items was also discussed. Steve will finalize his list and the committee will review it at the next meeting before submitting it to the Finance committee. Bill announced that the forest inspection is complete and that Russ will present information to the whole Board in October. Steve is looking into various forms of outside storage for items such as bicycles, There are still some storage needs in the building that will need to be addressed.
Jeff asked Steve if the old network rack was
still in the electrical room near the custodial break room. Steve noted
that it The meeting ended at 6 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Committee Chair |

Barre Town Facility & Transportation
Committee Attending: Steve Murray, Michele Fagan and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:00 PM. A quick tour of the facility was given to Michele, our new Superintendent. The minutes of the June 21st meeting were approved. Steve and Terrie are continuing to look for more drivers. Four more interviews have been held. Steve and Terrie are hoping to expand the number of bus drivers so the runs can be shortened. Discussion about locking the side doors (entering only) to improve security and cut down on time spent by custodial staff during the wintertime. This will force visitors to enter the school using the front entrance where staff will be able to see them. No new information in regards to wind power. There are funds available. It is hoped that Bill Kirkland will have information at the next meeting. Summer work is continuing to
progress with the new maintenance and transportation office projects
ahead of schedule. Work on the playground (asphalt section) will
commence soon.
Steve presented a preliminary list of items needing maintenance and/or replacement. A finalized list will be brought before the Finance Committee in September or October. The meeting adjourned at 5:15 PM. Next meeting August 9th (time: 4PM). Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town Facility & Transportation
Committee Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, Ted Riggen and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:30 PM. The minutes of the May 21st meeting were approved. The group took a quick tour of an updated office/storage plan. All were satisfied with the changes. Jeff will see if the Board needs to approve the project again or if the changes are fine as is. Steve and Terrie are continuing to look for more drivers. Interviews are being held and ads have been placed. Ideas were discussed to improve student drop-offs. Because of budgetary restraints probably few changes will be made. Locking the side doors (entering only) will help improve security and cut down on time spent by custodial staff during the wintertime. Bill will be meeting with someone on June 30th to go over information in regards to wind power. Bill mentioned Russ is working on finalizing information for the land thinning – timeframe: possibly next week. Maintenance items, long overlooked over the past few years, will be discussed at the July and August meetings. A finalized list (of items needing much needed attention) will be brought before the Finance Committee in September or October. Summer work has started off well. The summer crew has worked hard early on to get work completed. Concrete repair out in front of the school will occur, the wood chip bin wall is in, the steam tables are in and many more projects have been started. The bike path was quickly discussed. Steve mentioned that some parking spots might need to be moved/removed as the view of and from the bike path is limited where it meets the parking lot and cyclists could be injured because of the limited view. Some students rode bikes in the school leaving marks on the floor. Storage issues, in regards to the current fleet of bikes, and more to come, were briefly discussed. More discussion will follow at the July meeting. Steve was contacted by the
elevator company and told a sump pump needs to be placed in the elevator
pit. The cost is The meeting adjourned at 5:30 PM. Next meeting July 19 (time: 4PM). Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town
Facility & Transportation Committee Attending: Terrie Salvadore, Laura Moore, Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:30 PM. The minutes of the April 19th meeting were approved. We have one bus driver retiring before the end of May and two drivers still out because of medical conditions. Steve is the current “spare”. Two new busses will be ordered for the 06-07 year. We are still looking for more drivers to reduce the bus runs and Steve will be placing an ad in the paper again. There is a safety patrol picnic on June 8th. Staff are working on updating the SMS system for more accurate information on students that ride the busses. Bill has worked with Russ Barrett on the land thinning. It appears there should be no issue with property markers and where the lines are in the woods. Bill mentioned Russ is working on finalizing information for the land thinning – timeframe: about two weeks. Someone is supposed to be at next Board meeting to discuss the use of wind power. The security team has met and is reviewing the checklist written up for them. Steve will be performing a check on all doors, alarms, rooms, etc. for any issues. Storage needs are still a high priority. Steve will try and finalize this, with the Administrators. Jeff would like to get a proposal to the Board asap. Maintenance items were reviewed, including future budgetary needs, classroom walls, carpeting and replacement items for the kitchen. Steve produced a list of projects that will be done this summer. A question arose about the $9000 left from the windows project. Jeff will check with Ollie on this. Steve will also put together a list of upcoming projects that will need to be done in the next few years. A proposal to the Board for a separate vote may be needed, depending upon costs. Safety and security concerns
were discussed again in regards to where students are picked up and
dropped off. This will be reviewed over the summer. It was also
mentioned that a lot of students are dropped off early (just after 7 AM)
and The meeting adjourned at 6:10 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

April 19th,
2006 MINUTES Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:35 PM. The minutes of the March 15th meeting were approved. Bussing is slowly improving. We have only one driver out now and have two spares (substitutes) if issues arise. We are still looking for more drivers to reduce the bus runs. Bill has worked with Russ Barrett on the land thinning. It appears there should be no issue with property markers and where the lines are in the woods. This will alleviate any need to hire a surveyor. Someone will be at the next Board meeting to discuss the use of wind power. The security team has met and is reviewing the checklist written up for them. Storage needs are still a high priority. Steve will try and finalize this, with the Administrators, and a proposal should be forthcoming to the Board. Maintenance items were
reviewed, including future budgetary needs, classroom walls, carpeting
and replacement items for the kitchen.
Safety and security concerns were discussed in regards to where students are picked up and dropped off. This may need to be changed and will be reviewed over the summer. The meeting adjourned at 5:15 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town Facility & Transportation Committee
Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, Ollie Jakob and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:30 PM. The minutes of the February 15th meeting were approved. A substitute driver will be back in about 3 weeks and the bus driver-in-training is coming along. The new bus is online. Medical issues with drivers are less of an issue but are still causing a shortage. Steve noted that we are still waiting on a response from the contact person in regards to the wind turbine. Russ Barrett will be at the April 5th Board meeting to discuss the forest plan. Bill is meeting with Town Manager Carl Rogers to discuss this plan and the wind plan. Steve is continuing to work with Tim on the safety team. Steve is looking at carpet tiles as a replacement for existing, worn carpet. The initial costs are more but the long-term costs should be less and, if there a damage or wear in certain areas, carpet tiles are easier to replace than whole sections. There were some questions at the last Board meeting about facility costs in regards to the updated facility policy. Steve will get a (short) list to the Policy Committee for their review. Composting was brought up with concerns about added labor costs for staff. Other schools have students involved so costs should hopefully be minimal. Jeff will look into this with Ted. There was a concern about a less-than-expected facility budget. Jeff will check with Dorothy and Ollie as to the status of the difference in actual and requested budgets. The second pole in the
parking lot was knocked down. GMP should be up soon to replace the first
pole, knocked down last year, and hopefully this pole.
Several maintenance items were discussed, of which Steve will put into his replacement/repair schedule as soon as possible. The meeting adjourned at 5:45 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town
Facility & Transportation Committee Attending: Terrie Salvadore, Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:35 PM. The minutes of the January 18th meeting were approved. Steve noted that we are still waiting on a response from the contact person in regards to the wind turbine. Bill will contact Russ Barrett about the status with the forest plan. A new bus will be arriving on February 22nd (2 more next year). There is one person in training for a bus driver and another looking to be a spare driver. Neither will be available until sometime in March. Medical issues are still causing a shortage. This will probably not be relieved until April. Communications between parents is going well with few issues. A copy of a letter that is sent home when a bus issues arises was handed out to the committee members. Legislative bill H.804 was briefly discussed. The bill proposes giving schools money to switch the busses from diesel to bio-diesel. Although it has benefits to the environment and reduced fuel costs there are downsides like more wear on engines and the expense of converting new busses when they are purchased in the future. All busses were inspected by DMV and, except one minor issue, all busses passed. Steve is working with Tim to reorganize the safety team. Storage needs were further reviewed. Steve forwarded his proposal to the administrators and they will discuss his plans. Steve presented a project list for 06-07. The projects were reviewed and discussed. Windows, doors and carpet were some of the major projects along with several other items that need attention. Discussion about a Fire
Safety Day at the school, in conjunction with a yard sale, was
discussed. More discussion will The meeting adjourned at 5:45 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town
Facility & Transportation Committee Attending: Terrie Salvadore, Steve Murray, Kerri Lamb, Bill Kirkland and Jeff Gagne The meeting started at 4:30 PM. The minutes of the December 21st meeting were approved. Steve noted that we are waiting on a response from the contact person in regards to the wind turbine. Discussion in regards to the thinning of the Barre Town School forest will be heard at the regular board meeting tonight at 6:30 PM instead of the Facility meeting. We are still not able to have an adequate number of bus drivers to fulfill the need. Medical issues and little interest from the public are part of the reason. Staff have worked hard on this issue and will continue to do so. A second IEP will be needed as those student numbers have risen this year. Steve has completed the Facility Policy and has forwarded it on to for review by the Policy Committee. Steve will meet with Tim to reorganize the Safety team that used to exist. Storage needs were further reviewed. Steve will be working on his proposal some more before the Committee finalizes it and forwards the suggestions to the whole board. Steve and Terrie are working on information that will go into the parent newsletter along with bus safety information. There are items needing replacement in the kitchen. Steve will review these and prioritize those that are of the highest need for replacement and can be scheduled into the budget. The list for (more) door and window replacements will be reviewed. Money from the state will cover these costs. There are several items that
are no longer needed by the school but are still in usable shape. The
Webmaster will be contacted about putting these on the website under a
“For Sale” category.
Carpet replacement, shower stall consolidation and purchase of a plow (to reduce winter costs) were also discussed. The meeting adjourned at 5:50 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town Facility & Transportation
Committee Attending: Dorothy Anderson, Steve Murray, Jeff Gagne and Ron Ide The meeting started at 4:35 PM. The minutes of the November 16th meeting were approved. Rob Ide from the VT Dept of Public Service gave a presentation on wind power. Issues such as site location of a wind turbine and costs were discussed. Rob gave a contact to Steve who will call to set up a site visit to see if there is a viable site for a wind turbine. There is no cost associated with this visit. Bussing has improved with one of two new drivers fully tested and trained. A second driver is progressing towards that goal. There is still one driver out on medical leave with another to be out in January also on medical leave. Steve is still advertising for more drivers. Steve will make final modifications to the Facility policy which, when completed, will be forwarded to the Policy Committee. Steve mentioned that there was once a safety committee that met from time to time to review areas in the school where staff or students could be hurt. Dorothy will check with Tim on getting having this committee start back up. This committee will also look at security. Steve has preliminary plans for storage that the committee will review in January before submitting to the full Board. Steve is looking for bids to have the playground seal coated. This will be done once school is done. Window and door replacement was discussed. Steve will review those windows and doors that are left to be replaced so they can be worked on this summer. This work will be covered by the $39K that the School received from the State. Green Mountain Power is supposed to replace to light pole in the parking lot that was hit and knocked down last year. Steve will contact them as to when this will happen. Steve looked into complaints
about some of the new windows being leaky. Several windows were not
fully closed but still will look into this further in case the issue is
not resolved. There are a few areas where air flow is inadequate. Costs
range from $10-$15K for new units. These will be installed when the
budget will allow it.
The meeting adjourned at 5:40 PM with a quick walkabout by Steve and Jeff in areas of concern in regards to safety. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne, Chair |

Barre Town Facility & Transportation
Committee Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, Terrie Salvadore, Jeff Gagne The minutes of the October 19th meeting were approved. There was quick discussion about the potential for wind power but because of a scheduling conflict, the meeting was postponed until the December 21st meeting. The thinning of the forest behind the school was reviewed. More information will be forthcoming and reviewed in the ensuing months. Bussing is still an issue but should be minimized sometime in December when we should have two more drivers fully licensed and ready to go. Medical issues and sickness have caused a few routes to not run on certain days but, overall, the busses are all running and the staff has responded in outstanding fashion. The IEP bus (#2) is near capacity and a second bus, or a larger bus, may be needed to fill the void. A second bus requires an additional driver but a larger bus will have issues with turning around in driveways. An ad has been placed advertising for more drivers, with salary included. Steve will review the Facility policy and return it to the Policy Committee with any changes. Staffing needs were reviewed. A request for a much needed maintenance person will be put into the budget. This is to replace a position that was cut several years ago. It has been determined that facility maintenance is suffering from the lack of this position. Security of the facility was also discussed. Members will look at more proactive ways to ensure on facility security and the safety for all those in the facility. Storage needs were
discussed. There is not a lot of space in the building to adequately
store certain times. This is a must to comply with State laws and to
keep the facility safe for staff, students and the public.
The meeting adjourned at
5:30 PM with a quick walkabout by Steve, Bill and Jeff reviewing storage
needs. |

Barre Town Facility and Transportation Committee
October 19, 2005
MINUTES Present: Bill Kirkland, Jeff Gagne, Steve Murray, Ollie Jakob, Terrie Salvadore, David Harrington Bill Kirkland moved and Steve Murray seconded approval of the committee meeting minutes of September 21, 2005. Two new bus drivers will be receiving training starting next week and may be available for bus routes sometime in December. There are four spare busses with two new busses being purchased each of the next two years. Some of the spares will probably be not needed and will be sold. With enrollment numbers falling, the number of busses needed will also be reduced, which should put us in good shape as far as the bus fleet is concerned. Safety information sheets were handed out that show duties that every bus driver must perform every day to ensure the safety of the students. A school bus safety information sheets are being reviewed that will be handed out to students to be brought home. There may be an issue with the IEP bus as it is almost stretched to the limit and one more student being added. Options such as a second bus or a van were discussed to alleviate the issue in the future. Bill quickly reviewed data that he collected over the past few weeks while riding busses, which he will be presenting to the full Board. Steve is working on a proposal to bring back the maintenance position removed several years ago. With the increased bussing duties, he is stretched to the limit and this position is much needed and it will provide adequate staffing for the safety and cleanliness of the school and busses. There was discussion of the replacement of carpet with some other alternative such as tile or embossed rubber flooring. The lobby carpet was replaced not too long ago but was still discussed. Tile would be too slippery and more labor intensive to keep clean if the lobby carpet was replaced. More discussion will follow in regards to classroom areas, halls, etc. Most projects are at or near completion, including the wood chip bin. We are waiting for reimbursement of funds from the State for the windows replaced this summer. These funds will be used to help replace more windows and doors. The kitchen steam tables need updating/replacement and Steve will look into costs. Fuel costs this year were $1.85 compared to $1.17 last year. Because of bulk purchasing the cost was not affected by the recent jump in fuel prices, however, prices next year will most likely increase. The charges for use of the
facility by outside groups were discussed. It was agreed to recommend to
the full Board to charge a default of four hours at the highest rate
(overtime considered into this charge also). Security of the facility
was also reviewed, especially in regards to unsigned visitors and on
weekends. A storage unit is being looked into, as space The meeting concluded at 5:30 PM. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey C Gagne |

Barre Town Facility and Transportation
Committee
Attending: Steve Murray, Bill Kirkland, Terrie Salvadore, Jeff Gagne A 3:00 PM walkabout commenced where Steve, Bill & Jeff reviewed items that will need attention by maintenance/custodial staff. Steve provided a lengthy list of theses items. The meeting commenced at 4:30 PM. The issue of bussing was discussed. Steve is in the process of getting two individuals’ their CDL’s but, because of retirements, is still short on drivers. Bus routes have been mapped out and are similar to the routes from last year. The time schedules are tight because of the length of the routes but may be changed if more drivers are hired. There is only one substitute driver who will only be available until November. Terrie left the meeting after the discussion of busses was complete. Discussion of staffing changes due to a retirement was discussed. The potential for consolidating custodial and/or maintenance positions with bus drivers was brought up. This would potentially alleviate the issue of trying to fill part time positions and potentially ease the bussing staff shortage. Bill suggested adding more days to Terrie’s position to alleviate Steve of any bussing duties. Facility maintenance is being put on hold because Steve is spending too much time on bussing. Summer projects were reviewed. 165 windows were replaced with blinds to be installed next week. Tim’s office is close to completion and all were impressed with the work performed. The Granite counter was installed as part of the front office makeover. The counter was donated by Granite Industries of Vermont and will give visitors a positive first impression when they enter our school. There is a wall still to be built in the computer area on the second floor. All work on the schools grounds has been completed. The wall for the wood chip bin is in the process of being fabricated. It should be in place before the end of September. Steve mentioned that he would like a network cable run to the wood chip plant so Steve can remotely control the computer in the plant from his (Steve’s) office. The Bocce Court was briefly discussed. Three bids were received from five requests. The bids will be presented before the Full Board and, upon approval of the Board; work can commence on the project. Bill mentioned that we should review the charges that are assessed to groups that use the School facilities. Staff is spending more time on cleanup and Bill thought it would be a good idea to check on the amounts of these charges. The meeting adjourned at
5:30 PM. Bill and Jeff finished the walkabout, reviewing several other
items from Steve’s list. If Sincerely, Jeffrey C Gagne, Committee Chair
