The Standing Building Committee reviewed correspondence dated July 7, 2009 from Henry Bobek re Middle School Project.  Mr. Bobek would like to confirm his design approach and assumptions in a one-on-one meeting with Mike McKeon.  It was the consensus of the SSBC to have Chair Gladstone respond to the request informing Mr. Bobek that the SSBC will not request that KBA meet one-on-one.  However, as a courtesy to Mr. Bobek, a member of the SSBC (Bill Croteau), a registered architect, has agreed to meet with him and to listen to his proposal. 

Also, discussed was needing to let the public informed about the Middle School Project.
