GUESTS PRESENT: Bob Gmek, Bernie Jackson, Russ Hartmann, Steve Habeeb - Gale

A motion was made to pay $1,250.00 to settle the Protect claim. Motion passed
unanimously.
Bernie Jackson reported to the MBC on the status of the high school wall. He stated that
there were no bidders on the job. Prospective bidders expressed concern over the
unknown variables and liabilities and bond questions. The committee requested that Mr.
St. Pierre attend a future meeting of the MBC to discuss the repackaging and negotiating
of the project.
Mr. Habeeb and Mr. Battles attended the meeting to discuss the draft of the Capital Asset
Management Plan as prepared by Gale Associates. Steve explained that each of the
members of the MBC reviewed an individual school. Steve stated that the report included
many items that were not capital improvements but day-to-day operational items. He was
distressed to learn that the maintenance staff had been cut this year. The MBC felt that
preventative maintenance was critical. This was an issue that not only plagues the schools
but the municipal buildings as well. The overall review of the report was adequate, the
MBC felt that pay back items should be included such as if a furnace is replaced not only
will it be reliable but we will recognize a cost savings on efficiency. They felt the pay back
issues would be beneficial as a selling point at Town Meeting.
Mansfield Hiuh School - Rich Feeley
1. Is the roof age correct? Why are some items not covered by warranty.
2. What is the pay back period on the cost of water savings on the low flow
toilets.
3. Is the cost of $102,000 to rehab the fields accurate?
4. What is the savings of converting to low energy electrical fixtures?

from the ADA study.

Committee and the Mansfield Public Schools, as well as removing the quotes of Bernie
Jackson from the report. Steve will incorporate the comments from tonights meeting and
prepare a final report for the Committee. The NESDC report will be reviewed on June
14, 1994, when the options are decided upon and we enter into the engineering phase of
the projects then the two reports can be combined.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
