The Meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by the Chairman, Mr. Bouchard.
Mr. Seamans presented his report to the Commission on the status of the school building projects.
Mr. Bouchard updated the Commission on the status of the boilers at the high school. The right-hand
boiler was fired yesterday morning and is now the lead boiler. They will have this boiler run for
approximately seven days and then they will take the old boiler off line.
Mr. Bouchard reported that the Beverly Farms Library is at 23% completion as of today. There is rebar
showing in the deck in the foyer of the building and additional core samples are being taken to make sure
the deck is safe.
Mr. Bouchard reported that a Public Meeting was held on January 6, 2003 regarding the Beverly Golf &
Tennis veranda roof. There is a signed, executed contract and work is ongoing.
The Massachusetts Historical Society is involved in both the Beverly Farms Library project and the
Beverly Golf & Tennis because both buildings are on the historical register.
Mr. Bird gave the Commission with a copy of the Change Order Log for Centerville School. He also
presented a “Draft” of the Centerville School Dedication Sign which will be mounted in the lobby of the

Collaborative” organization being included on the sign. The matter was tabled until revisions could be
made to the draft.
