Town Council for award of services - final decision of award is with Town Council when they
are not present during the presentations - does not agree.
George Hosey - stated if projects exceed $500,000 an owner's representative shall be hired - why
that amount? PMBC in entrusted to interview and choose owner's representative - why not
include complexity and length of project - Jerry Tyminski stated project needs to warrant the
cost of an owner's representative. Kate DiPalma-Herb stated she would like an out to decide if
an owner's representative is needed - members agreed. Also if PMBC is interviewing, scoring
and choosing an owner's representative, why should Town Council be able to choose another,
when they have not been involved in the hiring process? She also stated the Mayor's comments
and Superintendent's comment are unclear - there was discussion at the Administration
Committee regarding there be 3 Board of Education members. She also stated when the school
projects were just getting started, Sam the BOE Facilities Director at the time, wanted to hire an
owner's representative, but the town declined. She also stated Wayne Donaldson and the
superintendent put together a timeline of the roof projects and HVAC system. There was a lot of
road blocks along the way - it was nothing the PMBC did or did not do.
George Hosey also questioned why the PMBC ordinance was being revised and the PMBC was
not aware of it.
Chairman Schneider asked each member to give their comments electronically so he may bring
them to the next Administration Committee meeting. He believes most of the proposed changes
are very positive.
