District Program and Facilities Advisory
Planning Committee Meeting/Board Workshop
February 25, 2009

Summary of Meeting 

The meeting started at 4:05 p.m. with Dr. Suzanne Wesson welcoming the members, guests, and board member.  There were 16 members, 4 board members and 2 guests present. 

Dr. Wesson introduced Albert Soto, Architect, to the committee.  Mr. Soto presented each member with a preliminary working estimate based on the changes he had made since his last presentation. The estimate was intended to be used to reach an estimate on the total amount the committee would recommend to the Board of Trustees for the cost of renovation and construction.  (These documents are available at the Tidehaven Administration Office.)  The committee members were encouraged to ask questions and voice concerns they may have with the presentation.  After much discussion, several items were adjusted, mainly in the area of square footage.  Mr. Soto also adjusted some costs per square feet.  After the discussion session, the committee’s consensus was to recommend a bond in the amount of $33.5 million to the Board of Trustees. 

The committee did not set a date for another meeting.  The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
