1983-11-03 Regular MeetingI
Architectural Review Board - November 3, 1983
The Architectural Review Board met at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 3, 1983 in
the Borough building conference room with the following persons present: Wayne
Coleman, Art Bors, Ron Chase, John Witteveen, Bill Beaty, Ray Camardella and Phil
Shealy. Jerry Gudenau, Lou Schneider and Dave Thompson were absent.
Ray Camardella reviewed the hospital office unit proposals noting that this was
the third time the project had been advertised and that three proposals had been
received this time. He reviewed the proposals in detail including Unlimited
Construction Company at $69,780 noting that this was a conventional building with
treated timber foundation. Ninety days are required for construction. Westwood
Industries proposal was $77,480 and consisted of two modular units with a pitched
roof. The foundation again was treated timber and the units were similar to the
trailers in Rasmussen Trailer Park. Ray noted that the units could be provided
in six to eight weeks with one week of construction required and that proposal had
extra crossbracing lending to moving the units later. The third proposal by William
Campbell Construction, Inc. in the amount of $99,849 was Blackstock type construc-
tion with concrete piers to a depth of four feet. Phil Shealy noted that $70,000
had been budgeted for this project. Considerable discussion ensued and Bill Beaty
stated that, in his opinion none of the building met code in that they are being
used as a commercial use and therefore should have conduit, solid core doors,
sheeting under the siding and numerous other requirements. After further discus-
sion Bill Beaty moved to recommend rejection of all proposals. Motion seconded
by John Witteveen and unanimously passed. Mr. Witteveen then moved to recommend
that if a building is erected for the hospital office it meet all codes and
sufficient funds be made available in order to do a proper job. Motion seconded
by Bill Beaty was unanimously approved.
Ray Camardella then reviewed the Akhiok generators noting that the existing
situation consisted of one 55KW generator. The village had received a direct
grant from the State in the amount of $60,000 and had requested two 150KW generators
as replacement units. The two generators exceeded the amount of funds available
and Ray had secured a series of proposals consisting of combinations of generators
and set up a meeting in the village next week with the two companies submitting the
proposals to review funding and village requirements. Further discussion followed
and Ray recommended installing one 75KW generator and making provision for a future
new backup unit as sufficient funds were obtained. He suggested that in the interim
the existing 55KW could be used as the backup. The Architectural Review Board
concurred in the methodology outlined by Ray noting that this would be coming to
the Assembly at their December meeting.
Mr. Camardella then reviewed the lockerroom floor outlining a problem of a series
of accidents resulting from the slippery floor. The Architectural Review Board
reviewed the floor material noting that it was the architects recommendation to
use this type of floor covering if funds did not permit installation of ceramic tile.
Ray noted that he had obtained permission from the contractor to deal directly
with the floor subcontractor thereby eliminating extra charges. Discussion followed
on what portion of the floor should be recovered with a more abrasive material and
it was agreed that the showers, main dressing room, team room and pool entry be
redone at a cost not to exceed $10,000. Motion by John Witteveen and seconded by
Bill Beaty and unanimously approved. Bill Beaty then requested that mats be put
down as a temporary measure until the floor could be resurfaced.

Ron Chase questioned which boilers were installed in the High School and requested
a report at the next meeting on the type installed and whether they met specifica-
tions.
Discussion then centered around small projects and the Architectural Review Board
instructed staff to advertise for an updated list for small project A&E proposals
in order to expand the technical type of companies available. Motion by John
Witteveen, seconded by Bill Beaty and unanimously approved.
The status report was reviewed in detail and several questions asked about various
change orders. Discussion then centered around asbestos removal and John Witteveen
was instructed to get several proposals and report back to the Architectural Review
Board.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
