APPROVED 9119102 SCHOOL FACILITIES TASK FORCE MINUTES May 16, 2002 MEMBERS ATTENDING: Margaret Brown, Keith Cook , Gloria Faley, Alice Gordon, , Lisa Stuckey, Dana Thompson STAFF ATTENDING: Craig Benedict, Ken Chavious, Raymond Cooke, Donna Dean, John Link, Bill Mullin, Steve Scroggs, Rod Visser Meeting Chaired by Margaret Brown Margaret Brown welcomed the group. There was consensus that she and Alice Gordon would alternate chairing task force meetings. Margaret suggested that the group determine what they want to try to cover during today's meeting, as well as a time frame and number of meetings we may need. Gloria Faley stated her understanding that this should be an organizational meeting, identifying tasks to be covered. Margaret concurred. Rod Visser pointed out that the School Facilities Task Force (SFTASK FORCE) report from April 2001 comprehensively covered topics that task force discussed. Several were left unresolved deliberately. This group can pick up on those, plus other issues identified by elected boards during the past year. Alice noted that some tasks are more urgent than others, such as the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (SAPFO). Dana Thompson raised concerns that multiple committees not duplicate effort— perhaps we will need enhanced communication between groups like the High School Planning Task Force and SFTF. Alice thinks the objectives cover everything, but some need higher priority, such as SAPFO. She notes it would be good to have work done on construction standards before the new middle school and high school are started. Elementary#9 is "already out of the box". Gloria inquired whether this task force is going to address 3 separate issues that came out of the Carrboro Aldermen meeting the other day, although they approved the SAPFO Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Alice noted "there are issues and there are issues" - seven were identified in SAPFO materials as having to be resolved. There are other issues Carrboro raised. Gloria asked if this group will address those. Margaret suggested that those be written down, then the task force can discuss whether they should address them.
