I. Introductions
II. Review of the November 18, 2020 Meeting Minutes
Chairperson Cain made a motion to accept the minutes as presented and was seconded by
Mr. King.
III. Update of Macdonough School Enrollment Study
Mr. Gaylord, Chief of Operations & Communications along with the IT Department have
supplied Malone and McBroom all of the information they needed for an enrollment study. This
document is the first step in the process for constructing a new school building. The purpose of
the study is to establish potential distribution of students in the district after the combination of
Keigwin and Woodrow into the new Beman Middle School. Demographics, housing and
enrollments are factors of this study as well. The goal is that that it be complete before March
2021.
IV. Update of the 21/22 Plan of Capital Projects for 21/22
Mr. Staye explained the capital project plan via a spreadsheet with focusing on ‘new’ and ‘to do’
items. The tan area are projects that are considered as priorities. Replace metal roof panels at
Middletown High (#200) is work to address a section of the roof above the gym that is no longer
under warranty. Educational Specifications and a RPF for Architects/engineers to replace the
roofs at Farm Hill and Snow School are currently being developed. Documents will be ready for
review at the January 2021 meeting.
V. Update of the new Beman Middle School Construction
Director Mr. Staye has toured the site. The exterior is closed in and the interior is heated. The
boilers are on at 55 to 60 degrees with pumps working. Cabinetry is coming in and on schedule
as well as the painting and suspended ceilings. Section C is around 80% complete. Sections B
& C each are a little less complete with work still progressing well. The project is running under
budget and is ahead of schedule. TSKP is competing the Furniture, Fixture & Equipment
(FF&E) process with submittal to the building Committee expected in January, and the Board of
Ed in February 2021. The existing furniture in Woodrow Wilson Middle School is being
evaluated to determine what can be reused throughout the district. The balance will be disposed
of. The public was allowed to remove unneeded items from the old High School as part of
closing that building.

VI. Review of Custodial Labor Study
Mr. Staye reviewed the study at the November meetings and explained the spreadsheet. APAA
standards determine how much labor is needed to achieve cleanliness at various levels, and
overall cleanliness varies at each school. Most schools achieve a level 2 at the end of summer,
and decline as the year progresses. Beman will require additional 3 FTE staff if it is to be
maintained at a level 2 of cleanliness. Recommendations for more staffing reflects what level
we attain. Mr. Penney stated that he was very impressed of the work Mr. Staye has
accomplished which contributes to the outcome of the educational end of facilities.
Mr. Giuliano stated that the Snow School, where he is Building Superintendent, is at a level 2
but could be better if they had more staff available.
VII. Follow-up Discussion on Ordinance Article IV – Standing Building & Projects
Committee(s)
Mr. Staye stated this was under review by the General Counsel for further discussion.
VIII. Review Proposed Change to Language of the Building Use Request
Mr. Gaylord explained the adjustments that were made to the original Usage Request. The
$48.00/an hour fee was kept but now a 50% deposit 14 days in advance of the event. The
second page also reflects a few changes including the addition of the new Beaman Middle
School. The athletic track and field will be discussed at a later date and the Middletown High
School gym remained the same. Keigwin School was kept on the form but the pool at Woodrow
Wilson Middle School was deleted where the Recreation Department will be obtaining the pool.
IIX. Miscellaneous
Chairperson Cain read a letter from Mr. Raymond Townes who is in charge of the Black History
Month event that is held at the Keigwin Middle School every February. Mr. Gaylord has met
with Mr. Townes and all the information will be digitized for the City and a designated space
has been made for the artwork and history at the Community Center where is will accommodate
all the exhibits. Sandy Aldieri has been hired to assist with this program as well.
The meeting adjourned at 6:31 PM by Chairperson Deborah Cain and seconded by Mr. King.
The next BoE Facilities Committee meeting will be on Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at 5:30
