Most motions passed by roll call; one member recorded a No vote on the Tower CO.
The Permanent Public Building Committee and the School Building Committee approved several routine construction change orders and invoices during their March 23 hybrid meeting.
The PBBC approved Change Order No. 3 from Tower Construction Corporation for $9,856.84 (general contractor budget) to address an infill/cove light fixture detail; the motion passed by roll call with Rob Pettit recorded as voting No and the remaining members recorded as voting Yes.
The committee approved an NV5 commissioning invoice for $2,199.60 (miscellaneous budget) and a later NV5 commissioning invoice for $2,138.14; both were approved by roll call. The PBBC also approved four GovConnect technology/AV invoices (aggregate approximately $7,551.40) from the technology budget and a G&R Construction change order for $1,266.84 (rebar changes) for the DPW fleet maintenance project.
A Westland Samson invoice for February 2026 designer services for $59,537.12 (designer budget) was also approved by roll call.
On the SBC agenda the committee approved two Lyro Hill invoices for January and February 2026 services, aggregated at $39,655 (miscellaneous budget). The SBC thanked Lyro Hill for assistance in the consultant selection process.
All votes were recorded by roll call as the meetings were hybrid; where recorded, the transcript shows members voting 'Hi' (affirmative) and the chair voting 'I'. No formal roll‑call tallies with named Yes/No for every motion are provided in the transcript beyond the tower CO No vote that was explicitly recorded. The committees adjourned following the votes.
Ending: The committees adjourned after completing votes; the SBC will reconvene as needed for schematic approvals and the PBBC will meet again per its schedule.
