Dallas,
School finished yesterday for the students. The teacherís contract runs through 
today. After that, minimal staff will be in the building. George Volk is the 
building contact. He will be who you will need to coordinate with. I have added 
him on this e-mail. Georgeís cell is 631-3437, but to keep Will, George, and 
myself in the loop, I would request scheduling and updates get put in e-mails so 
we all have the same communication. Will Hollander is the Assistant Principle 
and takes care of facility concerns. Dave Gurwell is my Assistant Director and 
also needs to be in the loop in case something he has in the works at City needs 
addressed. You can contact George to find out what the plans are and when works 
best for him. I would like to have a pre-repair meeting to get a better 
understanding of Priceís approach. This would involve George Volk and myself.
 
Thanks,
Paul

Paul,
 
I called and left a messafe for you a couple of weeks ago. Basically Price 
Electric wanted to do it when School got out for the summer. I assume that 
school will be out shortly if it is not already. Please let me know when school 
will be out and I will schedule Price to come in and do the work.

Dallas,
 
We have been flooded multiple times since you indicated you would have the area 
dug up and repaired correctly from the outside. As I indicated before, this is a 
safety concern with water coming in either from the inside or around the 
conduits feeding the new addition. Please give me a date that this will be 
repaired by tomorrow at the end of business day. It has been agreed this was a 
problem caused by the construction addition of 2004 ñ 2005. Numerous requests 
from the district and the design professional have yielded no results. We have 
cleaned up after several rains at our own expense in conditions that may or may 
not be safe to work in. Please let me know your intensions by the end of day 
tomorrow so the district can decide how to proceed. Please use e-mail or in 
writing.
 
George,
Dallas indicated MLC is not responsible to coat the roof which seems to be in 
discrepancy to the attached ìCity High additionî e-mail correspondence.

 Dallas,
 
The conduit is still leaking, though with the spray foam the electrician used, 
although not as bad. The type of repair made will allow water to sit in the 
conduit indefinitely. The wiring in the conduit is not rated to be under water 
to my knowledge. It will also shorten the life of the conduit. This situation 
that has existed for three years is now being questioned as a safety issue with 
water running out of a live conduit and custodianís vacuuming it up. I am 
requesting the repair be made from the outside as you indicated if this repair 
did not fix it. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
 
Thanks,
Paul
