The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. with a quorum present.

Facilities Project Update

Mr. Kalisz updated the Committee on the nearly complete Honeywell energy improvements. The balancing of the air and heat exchanges is continuing. Several motors have failed at the High School in individual heating units, the motors have been replaced and the unit ventilators are all working at this time.

Playground Update

Mr. Hopkins presented an update on playground projects and the funding source over the past few years. Mr. Kalisz mentioned that he has included some funding in the CIP for playground projects. The Committee will consider in the next few months if the District funds playground improvements or matches funding for playground projects developed by the PTA.

Holy Rosary Credit Union Sign

Mr. Hopkins shared the proposed Holy Rosary Credit Union sign for Wakefield Street and Chestnut Hill Road. The Committee would prefer the School District being on top on Wakefield Street and reducing the size of the credit union sign at each location. A change in the proposal will be presented to the next Building Committee.

Mr. Watson moved, second by Dr. Pastelis, to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.

Frank Callaghan, Acting Chair
