respiratory problems (US average is 3%) and Cape Cod because of the <br /> location to water. <br /> Merry Sue asked after the building is occupied, how often should we re- <br /> test? <br /> Mr Hamilton said to wait 3 months , until the winter season. Get the <br /> immediate problems under control then wait until December. <br /> Janice said this Committee and the School Committee should not make a <br /> decision until Occuhealth has met with the town authorities . It is a <br /> positive report but we need to use our experts on this issue . <br /> ** Paul made a motion to authorize Joel Seeley to notify Occuhealth to <br /> re-test the high school asap. Janice seconded the motion. <br /> All members were in favor 6-0** <br /> Joel said if the opinion is the students could occupy the building during <br /> concurrent testing and then elevated levels are found after students are in <br /> the building , those rooms will be vacated, cleaned and re tested. If the <br /> levels are then low, the rooms could be re-occupied? <br /> Paul said it is Occuhealth' s opinion that the rooms don' t have to be <br /> vacated. <br /> Mr. Hamilton said they will make a determination for any area found to be <br /> elevated whether the room should be vacated, based on species . <br /> Steve asked if a room is found to have high counts next week, will it be <br /> cleaned and re-tested again? Yes. <br /> The Committee asked Dr. DeMoura and John Williams how they felt? <br /> John Williams said his concern is what if 20 rooms come back high next week <br /> and they have to be evacuated, after the students are in the building? <br /> Paul asked Mr. Hamilton if he would expect to see any levels like that? <br /> Mr. Hamilton said there is a very remote possibility. What he saw in A was <br /> very positive as well as second floor of B. <br /> Joel said however, in the first floor of E, where the majority of mold was , <br /> only 1 test was done there. <br /> The remedial work as been completed there now, however. <br /> Steve asked if they inspected the duct work? <br /> Mark, from Occuhealth said there was some construction dust in the air <br /> handler. The HVAC system was cleaned , the filters changed and it looked <br /> good. He saw some grit on the bottom of the pan and that was normal . In <br /> area E some exposed duct had some tacky discoloration which looked to be <br /> from oil . The majority of duck work he saw was very clean. He recommended <br /> they clean the interior area of the duct on the second floor, where the <br /> tacky areas was . <br /> Paul said the Committee will have to hear what town counsel has to say <br /> about this . He has serious concerns if we don' t open the school , due to our <br /> choice , and the chance for liquidated damages . <br /> The school department has the right to make that decision not to open the <br /> school . <br /> 8 <br />
