Construction and Budget Status: Mr. Tom Feeney gave an update on the construction project. The move into the new building was planned for the February School vacation. It went well. He would like to thank the maintenance staff at Cottage for the outstanding job. Edwards Movers will be back again to move the music equipment because the gym floor was not completed. A temporary occupancy permit has been received. Strekalovsky and Hoit will be forwarding all the affidavits to the Building Inspectors office. Copies will be given to the SSBC. The elevator has passed inspection. The inspection certificate is being held by the elevator contractor due to a dispute with the general contractor. Mr. Yost stated that this would be resolved at the job meeting on Wednesday. A
pedestrian walkway has been installed. The mechanical contractor will be on site to address any mechanical issues. The faculty lounge is being used as a temporary kitchen. A list of construction concerns is being generated through the main office. Member Benjamin asked if any contractors are working in the newly renovated area. The construction personnel policy is being followed. Mr. Yost will prepare a form to be used by the teachers to document any concerns or problems in the new areas. The bleachers will be installed during the spring break. The members of the committee expressed concern that the bleacher parts were not being protected. These parts are presently being piled up on the sides of the gym. Member Benjamin asked if the gym was being used by outsiders. The modifications to the backstops will be made during the spring break. The science casework will be replaced.

Future work will be to enclose the building so that temporary heating can be brought in to remove the frost so that the slab can be poured.

A drawing will be issued to the contractor.

The committee asked Mr. Collins to research the diameters of the volleyball poles.
