The PBC Meeting was called to order at 5:03 pm. 1. Review stakeholder group & resilience level for the High School project as referred to in the Integrated Building Design & Construction policy. Mike Cronin shared that In a meeting with Jim Malloy, Joanne Belanger, Mike Mclean, Derek Sencabaugh, and Kelly Axtell it was determined that the new LHS would need to provide the following components to meet the emergency needs of the town: 1. The nursing medical cabinets and refrigerators would need to be on emergency power 2. Restrooms would need to be near the locations where sleeping may occur 3. Showers would need to be near the locations where sleeping may occur 4. A Pin and Sleeve should be added to the building to support full kitchen service 5. Automotive charging stations should be on emergency power to charge town vehicles that may provide services. 6. Plug loads to support the needs of a comfort station would need to be on emergency power 7. A storage closet should be included for supplies in the location where sleeping may occur There was some discussion about Town Shelters and their use. It was discussed that the sleeping arrangements could be accommodated for emergencies, however the hotels in the area would be utilized first, and the high school would be used as a last resort. A storage closet would be included for supplies where sleeping may occur There was discussion about designating some portion of the High School as a shelter, but not the entire Facility. This concept was supported by the initial recommendation of the majority of the building being designated a level 3 (Continued Operation) and some portion, such as the gym or fieldhouse or kitchen (in part), being designated level 2. 2. Review and Discuss Integrated Building Design Policy Article IV. Policy, Item 1. Chris Schaffer from The Green Engineer (TGE) referenced the Integrated Building Design & Construction Policy (IBDCP) requirement that “Prior to the initiation of the building design activities or the selection of the design team, the project stakeholders will establish specific targets for the project that consider each of the Integrated Building Design and the Construction Goals Checklist. The targets will be approved by the School Committee and the Select Board.”
