The minutes were approved unanimously. Update on Police Station & Solar Canopy Project Mark Barrett reported that there was a meeting with the HDC on November 2nd, and a certificate of appropriateness for the solar canopy was granted. The design was approved with the “high hat” or raised section in the middle. There were a couple of neighbors who spoke in favor of the high hat. The steel frame package is being priced. Steve Brown provided an additional update on the Police Station Project. He stated that the remainder of the brownstone was delivered and that the work continued to progress. The exterior masonry was expected to be complete in the next few weeks. The staging was making its way around the building. The exterior roof edge work, metal work, and gutter system were in the process of being installed. The installation of the main electric service pathways was complete. The beginning of exterior paver walk work on the west side was started and will be completed later in the springtime. There was a coordination meeting with the sub-contractor for the Radio Tower Foundation, and they planned on mobilization next week. The painter was working on both floors. The interior mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation was being worked on. There were progress photos presented of the exterior and interior. A Construction Change Directive was executed with the contractor so that they could begin the installation of the foundation for the solar canopies, and it included a schedule extension of 55 days. It was clarified that the 55-day extension was for the site work, not for the building. When the change proposal for the foundation for the solar canopy was received, some changes were not agreed upon and were being worked on. It was reported that they were waiting on a logistics plan, and there will need to be conversations about CO. It was reported that there were two meetings with the solar company, the electrical engineer, and the architect regarding the meters and the solar canopies to work on the design. Mike Cronin reported that the charging stations also needed to be behind the meter, and the electrical engineer and solar designer were working to ensure that the solution was appropriate.
