n , <br /> Paul said he spoke with Jim Anderson a while ago about this <br /> space. He told him we did not want this space to be disqualified, <br /> and it would probably be a minor amount of money to retrofit. He <br /> said, if it is not a lot of money, he would most likely overlook <br /> it . <br /> Steve said he has not problem using the space for this purpose , <br /> he has a problem with the retrofit costs ; they are outrageous. <br /> Paul said Stone will not do anymore pricing . We can let them <br /> shop it out. <br /> John Williams suggested putting a modular house on the site . <br /> Peter said the Committee looked into that, to make it handicapped <br /> accessible it would cost $200 ,000 . <br /> ** Vote on motion to recommend a not to exceed amount -of <br /> $65 ,000 to the Selectmen: 4 members in favor: Paul , Joe , <br /> Peter and Merry Sue, 2 against, Steve and Bill . <br /> Paul said the estimate to make changes , as requested by CCR, came <br /> in at $307, 000.

To turn the stage into a space good for video so it <br /> could be used as a large TV studio . <br /> Peter asked if this is the most cost effective way to spend <br /> $300, 000 , it is not an educational necessity. <br /> Paul said we have already paid SMMA and CCR to design this, now <br /> it is time to step up to the table to pay. It should have been <br /> questioned before . All of this is in the original $4 . 7 million <br /> technology budget . <br /> Mike Kirwin from CCR was present to discuss the results of the <br /> technology bids . <br /> Telephone system: he presented a letter to the Committee <br /> recommending they approve and award the contract to National <br /> Telephone.
