Jr. DeMoura would rather give up a space than cut they size of the <br /> classrooms. He suggested eliminating the large group classroom at this <br /> time. <br /> ** Merry Sue made a motion to delete the large group classroom from <br /> the program for a savings of 1 , 700 sq feet. Janice seconded the <br /> motion . <br /> Discussion : <br /> Paul agrees they should cut the large group classroom but with a caveat , <br /> asking the architects to remember it as an item that has been deferred , not <br /> eliminated . <br /> Steve suggested, if the program requires that kind of space, considering <br /> moveable walls in some classrooms . <br /> ** Merry Sue amended the motion to add this item has been deferred and <br /> ask the architects to remember it. All members were in favor. ** <br /> Gus Fredricks said he has looked at the office space for Leisure Services. <br /> Is there a way he could share space with another area? Otherwise 100 sq <br /> feet will not be enough . <br /> Peter stated the Selectmen do not want Leisure Services to have a permanent <br /> office in the high school . <br /> Nancy Caffyn said the Selectmen never discussed that issue . <br /> She does not see much community in this building , she doesn ' t see it <br /> physically . 100 sq feet is impossible to work in . To run a community <br /> educational program you have to have comfortable office space to do it in . <br /> 4e want to use the facility 100%. <br /> Peter said her point is well taken but the Committee ' s previous guidance <br /> was the Leisure Services permanent office will not be at the high school . <br /> Nancy said she feels bad about that but she does not know where that came <br /> from, the Selectmen never discussed it. She looked at Sandwich high school <br /> today , their community program' s office is in the school . <br /> Merry Sue noted the community aspect is just a large office, if you look at <br /> the school you don ' t know what the community uses are. Every space at the <br /> school can be used by the community. For Mashpee , people would sign up at <br /> town hall and then go to the high school for their class . They don ' t need <br /> to check-in at the high school office space. <br /> Nancy said the community aspect of the high school was sold to the town , we <br /> want community use. Personally, she wants the office at the high school . <br /> Merry Sue said Nancy stating that this is not a community use building <br /> bothers her. All of it is designed for community use - the access, the <br /> double gyms, the only thing not here is the main office and we will not get <br /> reimbursed for that office . <br /> Peter asked if we get 5% sq footage reimbursed from the State for community <br /> use? <br /> Mr. Frennette said the cost of construction will probably govern . If it is <br /> not for the education program, it will not be funded. He feels we are <br /> already over budget. <br /> Bill Jones said Leisure Services should be treated the same as the <br /> administration offices. Gus needs the space but there will soon be a new <br /> configuration of town hall and his office space should be here . <br /> fancy disagrees , this is considered education space and she thinks it will <br /> be reimbursed. <br /> 4 <br />
