Discussion:
The Bedford County Board of Education met in a study session on December 1, 2022 at 6:00 pm in the Central Office board room located at 500 Madison St., Shelbyville, TN. Board members Courtney Bogle, Andrea Anderson, Michael Cook, Glenn Forsee, Barton Williams, Shanna Boyette, and Brian Crews were present. Dan Reed and David Brown were absent.
Also present were Bart Kline from Kline-Swinney, Eric Pyle and Tyler Powell from Bell Construction and Jeff Sweeney, the Bedford County Owner’s Representative. Vice-Chairman Brian Crews called the meeting to order. A motion was made by Andrea Anderson to go to a brief recess because Chairman Michael Cook was running late. A second to the motion was made by Barton Williams. The meeting was re-started at approximately 6:20. The floor was opened for questions for Mr. Kline and the Bell Construction representatives. There was much discussion on Calsonic Way as to whether to make it a public road or a private road. Dr. Garrett suggested that the board sit down with city leaders and discuss Calsonic Way. Jeff Sweeney expressed his concern regarding security and that the Fire Department, First Responders, Police Department and others should be involved in the discussion. There was some discussion on putting the mechanicals on the roof to save money. It was not recommended because the roof systems have lots of issues and can cause leaking roofs. Walking on the roof to make repairs can also cause damage. It was said that saving up front will cost in the long run. 14,000 square feet has already been taken out of the floor plan to save on cost. Kline-Swinney and Bell Construction are to bring a preliminary price to the next board meeting on December 15th. |
