Joint Meeting Prior to this meeting this committee met in the board room jointly with the School/Community Committee, Education Committee and trustees. The purpose of this meeting was to report on the progress of the Facilities Planning Committee and answer questions regarding the committee’s work to date.

 

1st Cut Scenarios On Scenario 3, 5 and 6 the words “renovate existing schools/high schools” will be deleted. A motion was made by Donnell and seconded by Mike for the 1st Cut Scenarios draft to become our first cut scenarios document. The motion passed.

 

Scenarios evaluation Work began on evaluation the scenarios according to the criteria. In discussing the criteria, Ludlow suggested dressing up the criteria to make them more adaptable to the scenarios and write up a phased approach. Number 1 and 3 could be combined. Number 6 of the criteria, Be sustainable within the financial resources of the district, would be hard to determine due to the many factors that may affect funding for building projects as well as district budgets. This criteria will not be used for evaluation of scenarios at this time.

 

On criteria number 5, Not contribute to urban sprawl, we will add: and complies to adopted growth policies.
