Gus Fredericks , Leisure Services Director will do research on the revenue <br /> possibilities. <br /> This Committee must decide if the pool will be a gym station . The <br /> Committee' s job is to weigh what is the best decision for the town and then <br /> decide how toP ut it out for community decision . The Committee agreed to <br /> look at the whole program, when it is completed, before prejudging how to <br /> make those choices. <br /> Paul Griffin explained to the Committee the $110 per sq foot average cost <br /> will be in SMMA' s contract. We will require them to go back , if necessary, <br /> to design it to only $110 . <br /> Mr . Fournier added they have to present cost reduction options to the <br /> Committee to look at and vote in favor of some of them to bring it back <br /> into the budget. We all have to live within the budget constraints . <br /> Paul does not want to see it designed for $120 and then have to go back and <br /> cut items out. From day one it should be designed for $110 . He would <br /> rather design it under and then give back some extra. <br /> Paul has an objection to the draft program presented today which states <br /> $120 per sq foot. From this point on it should be $110 . <br /> - auditorium size and stage facilities : the auditorium is presently <br /> scheduled to seat 600 people, which is 1 /2 of the student body . Mr. <br /> Fournier explained because of handicap access requirements , the size of the <br /> room must be larger than Dr. Calabro' s draft. Also, the desire to make the <br /> room devisable with retractable walls requires wider isles and also <br /> increases the space needed . The sq footage has to grow to accommodate <br /> these issues . <br /> Dr . DeMoura stated the questions to be decided are should it be large <br /> enough for town meeting and how much of a performing arts center will it <br /> be? He does not think you can depend on it as a teaching station . <br /> The Committee agreed the gym bleachers will accommodate town meeting, not <br /> the auditorium. <br /> Should this be designed as if the proposed performing arts center won ' t <br /> happen, or do we coordinate with them? <br /> Janice Mills said she spoke to Mr . Thompson about this issue . The high <br /> school auditorium has to be designed for plays, concerts , etc. We cannot <br /> plan on their facility being available. <br /> The Committee agreed to design a full auditorium to meet the program. We <br /> wont' make our auditorium less because we have one next door . <br /> - Air conditioning : will this building be air-conditioned? The Committee <br /> would like SMMA to look at the cost to put it in and to operate . Mr . <br /> Fournier said the office space for year round staff will be air <br /> conditioned, as will the auditorium. <br /> Community awareness program, what does the Committee have to do? <br /> Merry Sue asked when the charette will be. That is her idea of community <br /> access . <br /> Mr. Fournier said it will be during the schematic design phase , according <br /> to the preliminary schedule during the 3-4th week of May . <br /> Who should be there? Who does SMMA need there? <br /> Mr. Fournier said they do not need anyone there, but if you want to come in <br /> 4 <br />
