4. SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE REPORT,Dr. Bouquillon In Mr. Spalding's absence,Dr. Bouquillon presented the School Building Committee update and reported that at this stage,two votes were needed to be taken for KBA Designs for the photo voltaic and the additional design work in order to understand more specifically the cost of moving forward with an enhanced athletic field complex with the Town of Lexington. KBA was open to negotiations in regards to their original estimates. This work has been confirmed with the MSBA and the Attorney General that we could move forward with those votes. Dr. Bouquillon reminded the Committee that the photo voltaic overlay district has been approved by the Town of Lincoln at the Town meeting in 2010, and that last year, Minuteman was included in the capital bond bill of$1.4 million to complete construction of the photovoltaic overlay district on the new student parking areas, and in anticipation of these bonds being released,we need to have the designs move along for further costs and implementation of that photovoltaic overlay. Dr. Bouquillon also reported that the project continues to be on budget and on time.
