Consultants view grade school Representatives from two municipal financial consulting firms appeared before the Colby Board of Education Monday night, and presented their firm’s proposal for handling the school district’s proposed referendum for a building program.
Kingsley Forness representing the Springstead Company appeared first and he was followed by Laurance Shaughnessy of Shaughnessy and Company. The board took no action following the presentations, but is studying the presentations of the four firms that have appeared and made presentations on the various methods of financing the costs of a building program. These presentations occupied the major portion of the meeting. In other action, a committee composed of R. Neal Melvin, George Kadonsky, Merlin Kilty and Earl Boss was appointed to work out a proposal for a garage at the Unity School Building. Currently no storage exists for the district-owned truck as well as lawn mowing equipment and various other pieces of equipment needed at the school. Several different proposals have been presented for consideration and the committee will review these various plans and determine the most appropriate one for the Unity School.
They also approved an increase in pay to the drivers of athletic buses, both team and spectator, to $10 per trip from $9 per trip.
