Mr. Schneider stated that the agenda items are primarily paying bills, but what would be helpful

Schneider suggested that the construction manager provide this. Mr. Bonin asked if Mr.

Schneider was talking about a report from the owner's represetantive, Mr. Schneider answered

yes, from the owner's representative. Mr. Schneider continued, stating that Colliers does this, but

it is typically only shown on the screen. Mr. Schneider stated ideally it would be part of the

agenda packet that goes out on the Fridays before the meeting, allowing the committee to have

time to review it. Mr. Fritsch stated that this would be helpful.

Mr. Graber stated that the Board of Ed put in to do an assessment of the high school. It has been

put forward and is going through the process for approval. Mr. Fritsch or Mr. Graber will

provide updates as to the status of this. Mr. Bonin asked if Mr. Garber was talking about the

NEAT study, Mr. Graber stated yes. Mr. Tyminski asked if this would have to go before the

town council, Chairman Gush answered yes. Mr. Bonin stated that he thought this was coming

out of existing capital and was to begin before the new budget. Mr. Graber and Mr. Fritsch both

stated that it is part of the upcoming capital budget.
