NEW LODGE INFORMATION
Building Committee Report — September 12, 2016
The Murphy Drive building project continues to make progress and remain on schedule and on budget.
The committee held a sneak peek open house on Saturday September 10. Approximately 30 members stopped by. Questions and concerns were addressed by building committee members. Members have been asked not to visit site without prior permission and approval due to a host of issues including safety and work slowdown. On Friday 9/9 alone three members walked in and felt comfortable walking around even after the site supervisor questioned their doing so. This is a problem on so many levels and any member wishing to do so must receive prior approval. Any member of the building committee can make those arraignments with the necessary persons and will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
We anticipate the next open house for members to be within the next 3 to 4 weeks.
Flooring and storage space continue to be a challenge. The conditions of the existing flooring through-out is being evaluated. Currently we believe we can avoid a complete replacement. We have budgeted for a worst case scenario. As for storage, we are attempting to put additional shelving behind the bar along with the same in the bar storage room.
The committee would remind the members that the consolidation into a smaller space will require some hard choices. Plans for the auction will be developed over the next several months for a 2017 auction.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee
David Lozeau
