Meetings : Ian believes it is important to project a full range of meetings <br /> from now to the end of the design phase . It is easier to cancel a meeting <br /> than to schedule one at the last minute. <br /> Peter explained the Town Treasurer told him cash will not be available to <br /> pay SMMA and Chartwell until July 1 . <br /> REPORT FROM ARCHITECT: PROGRAMMING <br /> Since the last meeting , Mr. Frenette has made some changes : <br /> - changed the title and removed the "Junior" . <br /> - changed the budget to $26 , 566 , 225 . There is no reference to the land . <br /> - deleted Indian Education and Library classroom as teaching stations. <br /> Collaborative Ed . should go into one of the houses . <br /> - Biggest changes is the inclusion of references to the community <br /> facilities in the text. It does not however represent a big modification of <br /> the program. <br /> Mr . Frenette presented an agenda of items they would like to talk about. <br /> - Performing Arts Center and Future Elementary School - what is their <br /> charge relative to the whole piece of property? Is the PAC flexible , <br /> moveable or not? Is the elementary school part of this master planning <br /> effort? If so., what is it' s size? Is this site lead by where the PAC goes? <br /> Peter stated they should use the site to fulfill the high school program <br /> first and then see if the PAC fits. The Committee ' s primary goal is to the <br /> high school . <br /> Mr. Frenette said the PAC planning to date represents a commitment to a <br /> piece of the site - do we honor that or is it flexible? <br /> Tom reminded everyone the PAC siting has not been reviewed by any agencies. <br /> There is a major problem with their planned access . <br /> Merry Sue stated the Town has the authority , from the town meeting vote , to <br /> take the entire 200 acres . The Committee needs to know how much to buy for <br /> the high school . The elementary school is not still in the mix . The only <br /> piece left over is nearest to the power lines. The siting of the elementary <br /> school is a distant third . The prior Committee chose these 2 sites because <br /> they were large enough to house a high school and elementary school - but <br /> not the two schools and a performing arts center. <br /> Mr. Frenette said the elementary school has to be either in or out -you <br /> have to plan for it. There won ' t be a nice piece left over for the <br /> elementary school to fit in . <br /> Tom Fudala does not think all 3 would fit on the site. The idea, when <br /> choosing the sites , was for elementary and high school , with no thought to <br /> the PAC . This site was way down on the list of proposed elementary school <br /> sites. His opinion would be not to consider an elementary school on this <br /> site . <br /> ** Merry Sue made a motion to instruction the architects, when looking <br /> at the site , not to plan for a future elementary school . The usage <br /> of the site is High School first with possible performing arts <br /> center in the future and coordinate the placement of these 2 <br /> buildings and review the main entrances into these two sites for <br /> possible shared facilities ( roadway) . Janice seconded the motion . <br /> 2 <br />
