Mr. Skolski seconded. All in favor. Motion passes. Chairman Bouchard stated that all Flansburg Associate invoices have been processed except one since the credit has yet to be issued by Flansburg. Chairman Bouchard referred to the Windmill Report for the Centerville School. He stated that Mr. Seamans was asked to research this project from the beginning and he is doing this. Chairman Bouchard stated that the present location of the turbine is not going to work. He stated that he thought it was supposed to have a one-hundred foot mast and they installed a ninety-foot mast instead and ten feet may make quite a difference. Relocating this turbine may be an option. Chairman Bouchard would like to revisit this topic when Mr. Seamans has completed his findings. Planning and Construction Minutes – April 20, 2005 Page 3. Chairman Bouchard stated that he has nothing to report on the Golf and Tennis Club since he has yet to hear from the State. Chairman Bouchard stated that the Beverly High School HVAC Project is almost completed. The repair work on the failure is on-going and they will be looking at everything. Chairman Bouchard stated that the Lynch Park Roof Replacement Project is now on hold. Nothing will be done until after Labor Day. The whole project will have to be reconfigured as it is quite a bit over budget. The bids will be reconfigured to have the roof as the base bid and to have everything else as an alternate. Just putting the balustrades around the roof will cost approximately seventy-five thousand ($75,000.00) dollars and putting wood trim around the roof will cost approximately eighty thousand ($80,000.00) dollars and the roof itself is approximately ninety thousand ($90,000.00). There are two chimneys to fix and the skylight needs to be replaced or refurbished. Chairman Bouchard stated that the Trustees stated they would guarantee payment of the debt service for twenty thousand ($20,000.00) per year for ten years. He may have more information next week. Chairman Bouchard stated that a lead lag system would be installed for the boilers at Beverly High School and then the boilers will be fine tuned for highest efficiency. This should be done while there is still a load on the boilers and, if not, it will have to wait until fall. Mr. Maxner asked if there was still talk about dual-fuel boilers for Beverly High School. Chairman Bouchard stated that this is being held in abeyance. This may be a blessing in disguise since the bills came in as high as they did, over the appropriation, since the price of Planning and Construction Minutes – April 20, 2005 Page 4. oil skyrocketed. The savings that would have been contemplated were just not there. Chairman Bouchard stated that the appropriation for the Beverly High School design has been pushed off until the hearing scheduled for th May 19. The mayor is asking for 3.6 million with a 2.6 million appropriation and 1 million coming from surplus from the Centerville School. Mr. Maxner made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:24 P.M. The motion was seconded by Mr. Skolski and carried unanimously.
