____________________________________________________________________
1. Chair Joe Bierwirth called the Advisory Committee meeting to order at approximately 6:30 PM.
2. School Building Project
The Committee discussed the letter received by Superintendent Galo from MSBA staff on this date. The letter gives a figure of $10,370,000.00 as the maximum grant amount that the staff is currently prepared to recommend to the MSBA Board at its March 31 meeting. This figure will be presented at the Special Town Meeting.
The Committee also discussed ways to monitor the total expenditures on the new school project, with a goal of assuring that money is not spent simply because it is authorized and available (e.g., the contingency of approximately $1,000,000.00).
The Advisory Committee meeting recessed at approximately 6:58 PM and reconvened at the Special Town Meeting. The Committee meeting adjourned coincident with Special Town Meeting adjournment
The next Advisory Committee meeting is scheduled for 3/4/08, 7:30 PM. Meetings will continue thereafter on a weekly basis, Tuesday evenings, 7:30 PM, unless otherwise scheduled.
Respectfully submitted,
Jerry Seelen, Secretary
