Agenda item number 1. Michael Cronin, Director of Public Facilities, met with the BOH to discuss the town building relating to industrial hygiene and COVID-10. They were contracted to ensure all equipment is performing to manufacture specifications. They generated a list of equipment not operating and not operating like it is supposed to. They put in a work order and repair the pieces of equipment and dial back. There were 71 items for the schools and around 50 items for the Town buildings. The color scheme is green, red and yellow. Green means its fixed, yellow means it is in the process of being fixed and red means it needs to be fixed immediately. They will verify there are three air changes per hour,the code requires something different for the Town buildings but they are keeping it all consistent. John Flynn asked about the enrichment program in Cary Hall. Michael stated they are working to see which spaces will be used for the program and those spaces will have three air changes per hour. The system is simple and the size of the group in a space does not matter to the three air changes per hour. They do not get a report until the very end. They do not have a final report for the School buildings yet. BOH requested the final report be shared with them. The concern for how they will handle the rooms in Cary Hall that cannot support the three air changes was raised.
