Bob said they have not yet be able to get a contract signed . Bob Whritenour gave him 3 copies of a revised contract for review last Thursday . He reviewed it over the weekend and there are a few remaining issues. Peter suggested they supply a list of all those they intend to work with . Bob said their proposal lists all the consultants , except Chiles , the tech consultant. Bob will make a package of information on Chiles available to the Committee. Building Design : Peter asked if the design the Committee is leaning towards appears to be achievable within the budget? They don ' t want to go down the wrong path . Bob said that design has an efficient net to gross , there is not a lot of corridor. The other designs had more circulation space. Janice explained that she feels strongly that a lighthouse is not appropriate for a Mashpee school . It has nothing to do with the town , Mashpee has no port. There are a lot of other themes that have to do with Mashpee - indians , cranberries , shellfishing . She thinks the Committee needs to express that immediately . Norris explained the intent was a symbolic type of entry , a focal point. Peter added a lighthouse is typical of Cape Cod in general , we are looking for something more typical of Mashpee . It is not our character. Joan agreed she would like to see something unique to Mashpee - something that will educate the students before they even enter the building . Site Layout: Dan Saliene walked the site again and looked at the layout considering last meeting ' s issues - dispersing the parking as much as possible , tennis- location and possible dispersement, football - north to south orientation , Insure entrance is not in shade so there will be no icing , larger buffer between the site and 151 . 1
