6.3. Safety updates for "wood" shop.
Rationale:
Executive Summary:
It is my recommendation that the board authorize the building committee with a budget not to exceed $30,000 for safety improvements in the shop. Rationale: With the summer at hand, time is very limited, and decisions will need to be made quickly. By delegating this budget to the building committee, they will be able to make decisions in a timely manner yet still within limits, and be accountable to the board and their goals. Committees can communicate by phone or text, which speeds up the process, which would otherwise need to have a special meeting called with a 48 hour notice.
Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
Electrical and High Pressure Air needs to be fixed in the shop area. The ceiling and other areas will need to be repaired. Approve $30,000 for the building committee to use as needed to make changes to the shop area, to correct the safety issues in that area.
