Facilities and Grounds Review Board Committee Meeting Minutes
March 1, 2004
 

Attendees:  John Miller, Don Berger, Jess Garcia, Louise Romanow, Bill Coulthart, and Chuck Burdick  

Amphitheater:
The committee members reviewed the two proposals for an Amphitheater.  LR suggested placing an Amphitheater next to the flagpole and construct it out of granite/stone.  The model she proposed is big enough for a class of 20 students.  It would be located this side of the low area, between the two trees, and open and angled toward the quad.  JG stated that we would need to be careful with the placement due to drainage.  It could be made more secluded by plantings.  Susan Little estimated that the first model would cost roughly $30,000.  Committee members also liked the second proposed style of amphitheater which would hold larger classes.  This style would work well on the hill between the Fine Arts Building and the Middle School building. 

The mission for the Facilities and Grounds Committee is to figure out if the proposals fit the guidelines CA has in place regarding the improvement of the grounds/landscaping.  The committee would like to move forward on both Amphitheaters.   

To Do’s
LR will go back and ask the Grounds Committee members about the second sight suggestion.  The Grounds Committee would oversee the two projects.   

A more accurate estimate of the building costs for both Amphitheaters needs to be obtained.  

Fine Art folks need to be asked for input on the Amphitheaters.     

MS Trellis Update:
The lowest bid for the revised trellis plans is $138, 500. 00.  Committee members feel that both plans are appropriate and would feel comfortable building the original plan which cost much less.  We need to seek Board approval for the aesthetic nature of the first proposal.
