S. Heinrich called the meeting to order and noted that this was a special meeting called to clarify the various changes that had been suggested in the Final Report.
S. Heinrich reported that Rosemarie Rung, School Board Vice Chair, had requested a copy of the incomplete final report. He indicated that he had polled committee members for their opinions. W. Morrison was the only member who objected. S. Heinrich told the committee he had provided a copy of the report minus the Space Needs Profile and Profile Chart. W. Morrison told the committee the reason he objected was that he felt that there had been significant changes to the report and that the committee needed to approve the changes before any portion of the report was released. B. Triolo noted that he felt that the special meeting was unnecessary. He felt that the report had not been significantly changed. M. Morrison noted that he felt it was better to have a meeting to clarify the presentation issues that had been raised.
T. Koenig told the committee that they needed to provide credible arguments for the square footage additions they have recommended for the core facilities. S. Heinrich presented three versions of a Profile Chart. He noted that two versions separated Academic and Core facilities and the third did not separate them. W. Morrison noted an error on the charts which indicated only 1000 square feet for two Social Studies classrooms. The error was corrected and 1000 square feet plus 25 square feet for halls/lavs, etc was added. B. Triolo felt stating square footage is not enough. The committee needs to explain the square footage. W. Morrison wanted to be sure that the committee does not try to hide space or mis-lead people. The committee decided to include the Profile Chart which did not separate Academic and Core facilities. The committee decided to include Special Education as Additional Square Footage because they do not know exactly how this footage will be used. They agreed to asterisk two classrooms under Library because these were replacement, rather than new, classrooms. The final recommendation will read "17 classrooms (15 + 2)."
M. Morrison asked to have the sections Process and Other Issues Discussed moved to the Appendix. The committee agreed.
On a motion from W. Morrison, seconded by T. Koenig, the committee voted unanimously to reconsider the vote of 7-14-98 on the Final Report on High School Space Needs.
On a motion from B. Triolo, seconded by W. Morrison, the committee voted unanimously to approve the Final Report on High School Space Needs as finalized. (attached) The vote was unanimous.
The committee was reminded that the report would be presented to the School Board at their July 20,1998 meeting which would start at 7:30 P.M. in the high school cafeteria. S. Heinrich thanked the committee for their efforts to finish the report. W. Morrison wanted to be sure that the report presentation was a team effort. T. Koenig wanted the record to note that the committee thanked the clerk for her efforts over the past few months.
On a motion from B. Triolo, seconded by T. Koenig, the committee unanimously voted to adjourn at 8:55 P.M.
