Summary

The committee approved a $19,500 transfer from ELHS capital reserves to fund code study upgrades needed for CTE/LRTC spaces at Edward Little High School; the motion was amended on the floor to specify LRTC/CTE spaces before passing.

The Auburn School Committee voted on June 17 to transfer $19,500 from Edward Little High School’s capital reserve fund to pay for a code study and upgrades tied to changes in the use of CTE/LRTC spaces.

Amanda Coocher, the district business manager, told the committee the Herman proposal in the meeting packet identified three engineering needs and that the work "would be necessary for us to receive our ... certificate of occupancy," explaining the upgrades are required because some spaces intended for one purpose have been repurposed.

Member Pat Gardier moved to amend the motion to specify that the code study upgrades would apply to LRTC/CTE spaces at Edward Little High School; after discussion and clarification that the quoted scope covered the identified CTE/LRTC areas, the committee approved the amendment and then carried the amended motion. Members also noted that a separate turf‑field electrical item referenced in attachments was tabled pending more information.

The committee did not record a roll‑call vote tally in the transcript; the chair stated the motion carried. The memorandum and contractor quote were included in the agenda packet as the basis for expenditure authorization.
