Ian is concerned about the cost of design. Paul Griffin thinks it is too early to raise the flag . Tom questioned the site plan, does the building include the pool and all potential additions?

Greg added that seagulls also cause problems dropping shells on the roof. Tom presented a design layout idea to the architects . Paul said at one time the Committee talked about the high school kitchen becoming a central kitchen for the school system. Dr. DeMoura asked that the kitchen have a loading dock to accommodate moving meals to other schools. Paul thought there is a potential to save some money. Could we transfer kitchen equipment from the present schools to the high school ? Peter suggested the current food service company could do a feasibility study on this issue . SMMA will talk to them. Joan Tavares noted that Barnstable high school has a central kitchen for their large school system. Could the shop equipment from the Middle School be used at the high school ? It is 17 years old . Bob said it probably does not meet with current safety requirements .
