Alderman McCarthy The Construction Projects Committee met earlier this evening, and took no actions other than to approve invoices. As an update on the projects, Fairgrounds and Ledge Street are virtually 100% done. We’re waiting for the sign off from the architect on final completion. There is a small amount of work to do on the cafeteria floor of Ledge Street, which will be completed in 2 weeks, after school closes. JSSBC COMMITTEE MEETING May 31, 2012 APPROVAL OF INVOICES ALDERMAN McCARTHY MOVED TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING INVOICES FOR FAIRGROUNDS AND LEDGE STREET SCHOOLS: TO HARVEY CONSTRUCTION FOR $132,473.06; AND TO TURNER BUILDING SCIENCE FOR $2.851.80.

I’ve been talking about this for over a year. If there’s a way to reduce the size of this committee and make it more manageable. It’s an annoying meeting for most people because it’s this 5 minute meeting. If it’s easier to wrangle people to make sure we’re going to have people at a meeting, I think that would be good. Thank you. Mr. Mosher moved to adjourn. So voted at 7:24 p.m. Submitted by Jacki Waters 2
