Notes:

 

A meeting was scheduled at 5:30 p.m. with the Education Committee to present the scenarios the planning committee has to date. There was no quorum for the Education Committee so the meeting was rescheduled for March 14, 2005 with the Education Committee and the Business Committee in the board room at 5:30 p.m.

 

This Planning Committee stayed to work on scheduling of meetings and speaking engagements. Those present were Barb Bryan, Ed Workman, Matt Brosovich, Donell Small, Mike Marnin, John Eisen, Peggie Smith, and Randy Hafer.

 

Matt reported that HB 436 has made it though the house but will need continued support. Conrad will be meeting in Lockwood with the Steering committee on Thursday and will mention it to them as well.

 

On March 24th at 7:00 p.m. the Lockwood Steering Committee will be meeting and Conrad has extended an invitation to do a presentation on the scenarios.

 

Barb is planning to meet with Woody Jensen, Director of Adult Ed to address his concerns about the committee’s scenario involving the Adult Ed. moving to another location.

 

Barb will be setting up a meeting with MAC McGahan and concerned staff regarding the scenario ideas for the Career Center.

 

Mike reported that Dave Morales of the Garfield building may be willing to lease or sell it back to the district.

John will try to get a range of cost estimates for the Scenarios to use in presentations if asked for dollar amounts.

 

Peggie will work on a schedule for presentations to the public.

 

Barb has asked Supt., Rod Svee for an e-mail address for this committee.

 

It was suggested that the board appoint a long range committee to review the facility plan at least quarterly to insure that the plan stays on track and is fully implemented.
