Todays meeting consisted on going over the budget of the pending jobs to be done and allocating the monies that are still pending for release of the $500,000.00. Currently, there is $296,753.00 left in change orders.

A report was created (Board Of Education and Pecora Bros.) indicating the jobs and cost, however a request was made by building committee to make such report more specific as to where the allocations and the responsible parties should be.

Major issue still pending is the ventilation system and lack of delivery of steel panels for the front of the building.

The Building Committee is waiting for a full report that should be presented by the end of the day as to any issues or clearance with this matter.

The issues with the thermostats, light switches, parking, front steps, and exits sign are being addressed. (Architect has made an appeal to the state in regards to the violation of the thermostats) We should know by Tuesday the outcomes to these situations.

Building committee has gotten pricing for the chimney caps. Worth Construction refuses to pay for this. Board Of Education and Building department is getting a third party to take care of this matter.

The kitchen was being inspected today by the Board of Health.

Currently, the building committee has $20,000 left in funds. Frank Mazza indicated that we have enough to pay the architect but not the project manager. As of now the Building Committee is going forward to request an additional $200,000 (for a total of $700,000). At this point the Building Committee feels that it is important to request this sum in order to have the job completed and not to delay any other possible cost that may occur later on.

The frustration within the Building Depattment and the Board Of Education was felt and they ultimately want this project completed. Frank Mazza will be presenting this new information to the BET on Monday 09/08/08.

There was no discussion on a moving date, that is schedule to be discussed on next Tuesday's meeting on 09/09/08.

As of now, the Sept. 15th TCO date is pending.

Meeting adjourned at 8:55am.
