Furniture & Equipment/Delivery Schedule (continued) page 4 Upon question from Joel, Manny informed that all of the office furniture, including teachers ' desks and file cabinets, is scheduled to be delivered the week of the 26th. Paul recommended that Manny request this shipment be moved up one week because the teachers will have to get ready for school . Lengthy discussion followed. It was strongly recommended that all classrooms and offices not being used initially should be used to store furniture. Manny informed that library furniture and chairs are scheduled for shipment next week; they probably will arrive the following week. Concerning other items , Manny does not yet have firm shipment dates. Paul requested that by the end of this week, Manny put .together a schedule of all furniture delivery dates and give it to the Clerk at the job site . Any items without firm dates should be listed and shown that the dates are unknown; when each firm date is received, Manny should fax the information to the Clerk as soon as possible . Status of Bids: Manny informed that he has a package going out for bid tomorrow; it includes copiers and equipment, televisions, home economic equipment, re-bid of other equipment, and missing pieces . Paul asked if there will be a problem receiving these items by school opening. Manny informed that some items may be a problem. We will receive bids on the 14th; by the time we evaluate and award, it will be close to September 1st. Many items are off the shelf ; copiers and televisions are generally delivered quickly; we may receive a partial shipment of items . In addition, Manny informed that the last package of fatness equipment has been awarded; we have additional equipment for the gym and expect more.

Music equipment - we have the list and are working on the specs for the next package. Some art equipment has been awarded; we expect a supplementary list. Science apparatus -- we have seen the list and are working on the specs for the next package. Tech educational hand tools for the Workshop we have and are being brought in . . . we do not plan to purchase any. The Library security system is waiting for technical information from the selected vendor. Lengthy discussion followed concerning tools and equipment owned by the School Department that will be used in the new High School . The Committee agreed that a reputable company, such as Brentwood Machinery , should do a maintenance check on the items , and move and install them if necessary so that they are certified to be in good running condition. Paul recommended that if the name is known of a local person or company who has experience in this line of work, the name should be given to Manny.
