Work Group Comments: <br />Mr. Rogers asked about demolition costs. Mr. Thompson stated that there was now $250,000 in the <br />deconstruction budget, and that this had to include asbestos abatement that had to take place before <br />they did the deconstruction. There is $2 million available for construction in addition to the $250,000. <br />Mr. Rogers asked about land contamination issues. This has been discussed and anticipated but none is <br />expected with this sort of facility. There were other sources of asbestos contamination, such as the <br />glazing compound of the cafeteria windows, the mastic under the floor tiles in the cafeteria, and pipe <br />insulation, and roof deck. Mr. Talbert clarified that these sources of asbestos were not currently creating <br />a hazard but that the asbestos was only an issue when it was disturbed such as during deconstruction. <br />Mr. Rogers asked if the designers were aware that there was interest in saving and reusing some of the <br />materials. Could the bricks be re -used? Discussion followed and there was general agreement that some <br />materials could be used in a creative manner in the new facility. Also, some group members felt that the <br />materials not being re -used should be offered to anyone in the community who may want some. Mr. <br />Thompson explained that the County will seek to recycle the old brick and other materials. <br />Mr. Rogers raised the question of the lack of a good grocery store in the northern part of the county and <br />how much they would like to have such a store. Could a portion of the school house this? Mr. Thompson <br />explained that the county is not in that business but that they could speak with developers of such stores <br />to see if there was any interest. <br />
