*APPROVED DECEMBER 11, 2018* <br /> Capital Improvement Program Committee <br /> Minutes <br /> December 6, 2028 <br /> APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS (can't) <br /> _School Department (con't) <br /> MMHS Auditorium Lighting System can't <br /> Mr. Gottlieb mentioned that perhaps they could use the Cape Light Compact and Mr. Richardson <br /> said that perhaps it could be done in stages. Chairman Collins said it was very hard to see the <br /> audience from the stage and Assistant Superintendent Hanscom agreed that it is a bad system. <br /> Mr. Collins asked if there were any more questions and there were none. <br /> MMHS Cafeteria Li-ghting Total Funds:$25,000 <br /> The Superintendent said the lighting in the cafeteria only aims up at the ceiling and there are no <br /> lights in the ceiling and she doesn't know what the answer is for proper lighting in the MMHS <br /> cafeteria. Andrew Gottlieb asked where the School Department got the amount of $25,000 for <br /> this request and Patricia DeBoer responded that it was a guess, School Technology Director <br /> Moroney suggested that lighting could be placed where the wall comes down in the cafeteria. <br /> Mr. Richardson asked if one company had been looked at to take care of the auditorium and the <br /> cafeteria and perhaps get a better price and Mr. Moroney said the project in the auditorium <br /> (lighting and sound) was looked at to combine. <br /> MMHS Library Upgrades Total Funds:$100,000 <br /> The Superintendent stated that the MMHS Library has many issues due in part to the age of the <br /> building and in part to a poor design of the HVAC system that makes it impossible to hear when <br /> it is running, The carpet is original, and they have explored getting new furniture and adding <br /> stationary bikes to the room. Mr. Collins inquired about the stationary bikes and what they are <br /> for in a library. Hope Hanscom explained that they are an established and proven way to get <br /> people to read. Mr. Gasior asked why these type of requests for flooring or for that matter all <br /> building requests are not going through the Planning and Construction Committee process. <br /> Patricia DeBoer stated that the Planning and Construction Committee uses the $50,000 in the <br /> CIP to replace approximately six classrooms flooring. Sean Moroney went back to the noisy <br /> HVAC system and explained that it is the conduit and lack. of noise insulation around it. Patricia <br /> DeBoer explained that the vision of the schools is to make the library a center for expanded <br /> learning. Mr. Collins asked if the carpeting was in sections and the Superintendent responded <br /> that it was. Andrew Gottlieb asked what the estimated cost was based on and the <br /> Superintendent responded it was based on the recent Quashnet School renovation costs. Mr. <br /> Gasior brought up the Planning and Construction Committee again and said this should also be <br /> going through that process. <br /> 3 <br />
