Also attending were staff John Moynihan and consultant Rowlands. Minutes of nrevious meetings - Review postponed until next meeting in light of Erna Green s absence. Points arising from last meeting - Bill Kennedy informed the committee that field house roof problems were close to being solved. An agreement in principle had been reached by all parties (Briggs, Morello and Lexington); however no contract/agreement had been executed. There seemed to be some trouble between Morello and Briggs in that Morello were willing to do the work but wanted Briggs to provide the design and detail. This seemed a reasonable approach to the committee. It would seem that Brigg's attorney is difficult to reach and seldom returns his phone calls. It was agreed with Palmer and Dodge's blessing that Chartwell would initiate some discussion with Briggs to speed up the process. Wheelchair Lift - Since last meeting TAMS had received some communication from Mr Frederickson the building inspector It is evident that a waiver is necessary for the wheelchair installation to be legal. A proposal of$7,000 was forthcoming from TAMS to pursue this variance as an extra service because the original set of plans was passed by the building inspector. Mannie Coscia reported that the wheelchair was in working order but was not being used by the school. John Moynihan added that the handicapped pupil in question was being carried upstairs. With this in mind, Bill Kennedy suggested that they consult with Dr Geiger on the future use of the wheelchair before incurring further cost on the matter. School Inspection - General inspection/information tours have been held over two weekends to outline the school's maintenance/capital spending plan for the future. The work completed under the renovation program was well received; however much is left to be done to bring the schools up to a reasonable maintenance standard. /3i 90 Progress - Mannie Coscia reported that all punch lists are in final stages of completion with the exception of Fiske & Diamond Libraries. J.P Construction is very slow in completing the outstanding items which may be due to some legal problems with its subcontractors. Mannie Coscia stated that it is his general intention to complete these punch lists before the end of April but Diamond & Fiske Libraries may extend past this date. Coscia commented that he planned to retire from the town in April but would be willing to deal with some items for the committee on as as needed basis. Future Court Action - The PBC asked Chartwell for a fee proposal to cover any investigative support work for the town if J.P Construction should file suit for delays incurred on the Fiske &Diamond Libraries. Chartwell will submit a fee proposal directly to the Town Manager Richard White within the next 2 weeks. Payments for the months of February/March are tabled. VOTED to pay TAMS for their reimbursables but not the outstanding balance of their basic contract until all projects are complete. Meeting adjourned until April 9 1990. cR.5spec sub ed, Brian Rowlands
