Joe provided an update on the
heat problem. Art is looking at the rental
and set up for a boiler ($5,000 per month).
In the mean time a repair team will provide update on Friday as to
whether the existing boiler can be repaired.
It could take two weeks to get the rental unit up and operating. Free
coffee, tea, and hot chocolate is being offered on a temporary basis. A suggestion was made to put up flyers and
email faculty with an update for students.
Jan will follow up.
Joe distributed the Facilities
Master Plan Input and Planning Process and the Measure E Bond Master Schedule. The first three projects were reviewed,
Infrastructure, Interim Swing Space, and the Science Building 2, 3 &4. Space is still needed for media services and
surrounding offices. Grouping buildings together will be more cost effective
and will help with safety issues. If we
do not have enough swing space, the last resort would be portables. The timeline for physical education will be
moved up depending on state funding. This
has been presented to HSF&G and Board Facilities Committees and will be on
the board agenda in Feb.
