Chair Julie Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance. Committee members present were: Nate Allie, Sheryl Alpers, Julie Anderson, Weldon Birdwell, Jodi Cockburn, Jon Dyre, Wendy Jam, and Travis Niemeyer. Members absent were: Eric Anderson, LuAnn Birdwell, Dennis Deppmeier, Jim Hartung, Jason Jam, Karin Lucas, Gary Romei, and Rachel Romei. Also present were Ex-Officio Members Lee Kvilhaug and Kathy Aragon, and Architects Bob LaPerle, Keith Rupert, and Kristine Keller. COMMUNICATION FROM THE PUBLIC There was no public communication. APPROVE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS The minutes of the October 27, 2008 and November 10, 2008 meetings were approved. UPDATE FROM CTA ARCHITECTS Julie Anderson turned the meeting over to Keith Rupert of CTA Architects. Keith handed out three documents which were prepared by his firm for this meeting. The first document is the CTA Meeting Minutes of the Staff Interviews which were held on November 11, 12, and 13, 2008. The minutes include questions posed to each group and their answers. Christine Keller explained how she was able to determine the space needs of the school based on the results of the interviews. The second document is the School District No. 2 Broadwater Elementary Program of Spaces Summary. This five page document shows the break down of the square footage of the existing buildings, the proposed occupancy programs, and the four proposed building options. The third document consists of four pages of 3-D drawings of the preliminary options presented for the Broadwater School complex. Keith explained the first option would keep the Annex Building, connect the existing buildings, provide the most square footage, provide less land space, and have two elevators. The second option would eliminate the Annex Building while maintaining the historic building, add on two levels, and the square footage is more efficient. The third option would be built as three levels and provide more land space than option two. The fourth option would remove all existing buildings and replace them with all new buildings. This option would have the least square footage while at the same time providing the most efficient use of space. CTA Architects will present more details and costs for each plan at the next meeting. The general consensus of the Committee is not to pursue Option 1. Keith will present plans for occupancy rates of 330 and 400. Bob LaPerle said after the costs have been figured the next step will be to take the three options to the public. The next Committee meeting will be held on Monday, January 12, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Broadwater Elementary School. The date of the next Neighborhood Meeting will be decided at this time. A short update of the Committee’s work to date will be presented to the school board on January 19, 2009. A work session of the Central Core Team will be held between January 12 and January 26, 2009. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business Julie Anderson adjourned the meeting at 9:20 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
