Attendance: Wakeman, Host, Dormitzerand Franklin
Schools - Sullivan, MacMillan and School Committee Member Maher
Wheelchair Van $55,000
Schools presented their cost benefit analysis to the CBC. The analysis was not fully loaded
however, CBC members felt that demand for a single additional route would tip the
analysis to be strongly favorable.
A motion was made to approve $55K for the purchase of a wheelchairvan capable of
providing transportation for the schools. Vote 4-0
MS Entrance - $40,000
While re-presenting the MS Entrance request, the Schools mentioned that the staff had
already been moved from the HS to the MS offices. This move which occurred in the
Spring of 2019 was prompted by the management crisis. The School Committee voted to
relocate the MS offices and hire replacements, however, this was not done in time for the
ATM . Based on that newly communicated information, the CBC made the following
motions:
A motion to rescind the prior vote to defer this request to ATM was made. Vote 4-0
A motion to approve $40,000 for security improvements and other upgrades to the MS
entrance was made. Vote 4-0
Harbor Project
The party who came to represent Harbor left the meeting so no presentation was made.
Additionally a CBC member cited a MA guideline that needed further to be vetted
before any furtheractions by CBC
There being no further business we voted to adjourn at 20:30.
Respectfully submitted
