to generate comments from the Committee and to make them part of the process . Bob Fournier said they have an obligation to bring this in as close to budget as possible . There are choices and judgments to make. Ian said presently , the biggest part of the estimate is the quantities. After that material alterations are not a big deal . Bob asked the Committee to study the document and get back to them with any comments or requests . The Committee agreed to coordinate their comments through Paul Griffin , fax your comments to him ( home phone number) . Paul has a concern about the theater showing an orchestra pit. The plan is wrong , there will be no orchestra pit. Merry Sue suggested the architect present to the Committee a balance between an auditorium and a theater. She would like to know what is available to us. Paul said the $110 per sq foot includes a simple auditorium. Peter explained Susan Butler has suggested designing the auditorium so it backs up to the gym, with a movable wall to expand the seating capacity . Ray said the back wall of the theater could open to the cafeteria but you give up the sound booth in the back and acoustics . Janice said opening of the wall ruins the acoustics of the theater . If you need large seating capacity , use the gym. Peter said this issue was also brought up by Bill Jones and he told Ms . Butler he would mention it to the Committee . Subconsultants - Ian explained nothing has been done and they are still awaiting approval . Ian sent a letter to Bob Whritenour but he said the Building Committee must take a formal vote and submit it to Bob and the Selectmen . ** Paul made a motion to accept Chartwell ' s subconsultants TAMES and Beacon and seek the Selectmen ' s approval as soon as possible.
