Nould trade for the pool ? <br /> Peter asked how many classrooms that would be? <br /> About 10 classrooms , or the auxiliary gym ( 5 ,452 ) plus 4 classrooms - but <br /> the dollars do not tradeoff equally . <br /> Paul Griffin said we cannot build a pool for $155 per sq foot, it is more <br /> like $200 . <br /> Peter said , if the Committee agrees the program should stay in tact, then <br /> the first option it out. Can we build a pool within the budget? <br /> Ed said Ian would have to tell them what the construction budget is. In his <br /> opinion , it probably cannot be done within the $27 million . If you decided <br /> to seek additional funding from the State, you would need about another $2 <br /> million . <br /> Paul agreed it would be very tough to fit a pool within the $27 million <br /> budget. The State may reimburse us for community use items, but not as <br /> much as the cost of a pool . He would like the architects to show, however, <br /> how it may fit into the design . <br /> Bill Jones added that staffing and operating the pool also has to be <br /> considered when making this decision . We must give the public options . A <br /> logical time to bring this to the community would be October town meeting . <br /> Would that be a problem for the architects? <br /> Bob explained that if the community decided for the pool , the documents for <br /> the pool may not be completed by the Dec . 20 bid date but could go out soon <br /> after that. <br /> The pool does not have to be open by Sept. 1996 . <br /> Mark Chen asked if the pool will be part of the discussion at tomorrow <br /> night' s open house? <br /> Peter said people will ask about it . They can tell them they are doing the <br /> best they can to fit the pool within the budget. <br /> Ian suggested that at about the time the schematics are completed we should <br /> get an idea of what the pool may cost . <br /> Bob Fournier said if the Committee wants to try to get the pool reimbursed <br /> they should start discussions with GESS and Dr . DeMoura to see if the <br /> educational program could be changed to include the pool and see how much <br /> community use they will reimburse . You will then now how much to rely upon <br /> from the State. <br /> Dr . DeMoura explained the State has already said they would reimburse the <br /> pool within the 183 , 000 sq feet. Presently there are already too many <br /> teaching stations in the physical education area and the pool would add <br /> another . It would be difficult to add the pool where we already have too <br /> many teaching stations. <br /> Peter asked Dr. DeMoura if the auxiliary gym is essential to his program? <br /> He responded it is not. It is in the program for Leisure Services , <br /> community use. <br /> Ed said they will need to know that early in the schematic design phase if <br /> the community wants to swap the auxiliary gym for the pool . <br /> Net to Gross ratios - Ian and Paul still have some reservations . They <br /> asked what the State would consider for the factor? <br /> Ed said he does not think the Sate cares. <br /> Paul said they have already told the Committee that 1 . 45 was too high and <br /> is not acceptable. <br /> Site Development -last week the Committee agreed on the playing fields . <br /> 2 <br />
