He said bids have been opened and negotiations <br />are taking place with the low bidders. He said it is a 14 month project. He said there is <br />no funding for the gymnasium floor o r new bleachers. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Dede Smith, School Board member, Mr. Mollica <br />said that the HVAC work will impact the orchestra and band space. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox asked if the bids came in within the $6.5 million budgeted in the CIP, <br />and Mr. Molli ca said the bids have not yet been analyzed, but it is possible that some <br />elements of the project may have to be removed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch asked when it is anticipated that the gym floor will be replaced. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mollica said the floor is shot now, but it is usab le, and it has to be compared <br />with other priorities such as new roofs. He said replacement of the floor is in the five <br />year CIP but is not funded. He said the bleachers are safe. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Smith, Mr. Mollica said the tennis cour t <br />resurfacing is expected to cost approximately $225,000. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said that the tennis courts have an added value because they are <br />used by the public as well as students. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Schilling, Mr. Mollica said there are thr ee <br />other tennis courts at CHS that are functional, but they are not lighted and do not provide <br />enough space for the CHS tennis team. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said he understands that a community organization is interested in <br />building an indoor pool and said that locating it on school grounds would allow a duel <br />use. He said he would like to get a dialogue going about this and see if it is feasible. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said that as staff has started looking at future costs, one question to <br />ask is does the City need two indoor pools. He said perhaps a group such as this could <br />purchase one of them. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch asked if any changes are proposed to be made to the Johnson School <br />driveway as it does not make a great presentation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Linda Bowen, School Board Chair, said there are no immediate plans to <br />change the driveway at Johnson School, but the School Board can look at the situation. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mollica said there are no current plans, and it is part of a larger, non - funded <br />project. <br /> <br />
