Associates, and the following citizen/parents: Amy Siemasko, Maureen
Zweck, Marge Sullivan, Toni Musante and Maureen Hobin. The architects
handed out an agenda and spreadsheets regarding the budget for the project.
There was much discussion about the renovation items that had been cut to
contain costs, such as replacement windows and new roofs. The Mayor
expressed his dissatisfaction with the costs of site development at each school
and asked that they be reduced. It was generally agreed to reduce the scope of
the project to 115 classrooms due to the demographics and to allow more
money for renovations. This would still allow for full day kindergarten and a
total of 2,530 students at 22 per classroom with a maximum capacity of 2,760 at
24 per classroom. ERF & A was asked to come to the next meeting with
various budget scenarios and classroom configurations using the 115
classroom model as well as figures showing the amount that would be saved
if full day kind~ergarten was not implemented. Two meetings were scheduled,
one on Thursday, February 29, 1996 at 2:30 p.m. and one Monday, March 4,
1996 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Secretary/Clerk
