Historical Commission. If no answer is available within 48 hours, the commission
will ask ERF+A to hire a consultant.

Von Duprin panic hardware and Collins & Aikman "Sentinel" carpet. Mike L.
made the motion, Nancy L. seconded, and the vote was 2-0 on each item. The
specifications will request these items for all 6 schools.
Mike was given a list of people to contact regarding the front end of the specs. Any
changes must be made ASAP.
The City Council should vote tonight on the permit fee waiver.
Mike Raclner has two site issues to discuss - Hannah parking and irrigation at the
new school. The ConCom doesn't like the current proposal for Hannah parking.
The Building Commission will discuss alternatives at the next meeting. The cost of
irrigation for the soccer field at the new school is estimated to be $20-30,000. This
will be discussed at the next meeting as well.
The next meeting will be held on Monday, June 24 at 10:00 a.m. at the Briscoe
Middle School.
Respectfully submitted,
