i <br /> Paul said Stone did not do it . They were asked to do it . They knew we were <br /> running tests . <br /> He explained, after cleaning , they will re-test every room in the building . <br /> 30% of the rooms were previously tested. Those cultures will take 10 days <br /> to grow and the remedial work must be done first . <br /> If , after that, there are rooms with high counts , it could be an interior <br /> wall problem. <br /> Peter said that is the worst case . We should have a plan for that . What <br /> will it take to mobilize the trailers? <br /> Dr. DeMoura said he will have to talk to the School Committee about this <br /> but the students and faculty are settled in where they are . He doesn't <br /> know if we should disrupt them again to move to trailers . <br /> Paul said they may need only some trailers , for breathing room. <br /> Dr. DeMoura agreed that they won' t be able to do lunch under the tents much <br /> longer. <br /> He reminded the Committee that substitute teachers are costing $400 . per <br /> day to cover the time when teachers are going between schools . <br /> Paul explained there is a joint meeting tomorrow at 6 : 30 with the Selectmen <br /> and School Committee and the Building Committee should be there . <br /> John Williams said the staff and students have responded well so far to the <br /> school not opening but he said you will see spirits drop, him included, if <br /> this goes on much longer. <br /> Paul said under normal circumstances a contractor would rectify any problem <br /> quickly but Stone ' s prior history is they <br /> don' t do that . We don' t know how <br /> Stone will react to this . <br /> He said town counsel will be speaking with the bonding company and doing <br /> research. He understands we need this building . He will be making a <br /> recommendation to the committee . <br /> Peter said the damage clock stops if and when we don' t make a good faith <br /> effort to occupy the building . <br /> Tom said as of today the issue rests solely on the'- air quality issue . We <br /> have to be sure the tests will stand up. <br /> Paul ' s concerns is there are no State or Federal regulations dealing with <br /> this type of contamination. That is why town counsel needs to do research. <br /> Peter asked if SMMA as issued substantial completion certificate? <br /> Paul said no . In their letter of last week there were 7 items that needed <br /> to be completed. The remaining 2 were addressed today. <br /> Joel said the last issue is the air quality. <br /> Peter said of course the health of the students come first before financial <br /> issues . If this hadn' t happened today, all the pieces would be in order to <br /> pen the building . <br /> Peter asked how the test results compared to background levels , outside . <br /> Paul said there was no comparison, outside was lower than inside. <br /> Dr. DeMoura said the classroom are not as clean as they should be . He has <br /> need to bring people in to do basic cleaning and he shouldn' t have to do <br /> that . Should he have the building Committee approve that additional cost <br /> first . Should they be cleaning? <br /> Paul suggested they do not clean the building now. He will notify Dr. <br /> 4 <br />
