Minutes
The working committee is awaiting costings from the VSB. In order to continue making progress, the group developed a list of what is important in terms of amenities if there is a need to use the portables at Van Tech.

Van Tech Portables
- Adequate space – office, staff room, resource room, library, prep room, nurse’s room
- access to the track
- walkways to the school and around the portables
- access to a gym
- computer access from each portable
- fencing
- working bathroom facilities
- basketball court, resurfacing, playground equipment
- staff / prep room
- gym equipment and storage of gym equipment

Secord
- Adequate space – office, staff room, resource room, library, prep room, nurse’s room

Questions:
1. What is the number of portables we can feasibly get on our grounds at Secord?
2. Is Garibaldi Annex an option? How big is it? Are there other schools?
Action: Kerri to contact the Administrator at Garibaldi.
3. Is Van Tech a one shot deal or is it a revolving door for a number of schools going through seismic upgrade?

Discussion:
Information has been made available to the working group through the parents at Secord related to zoning, heritage, portable location and stacking of portables.

Meeting adjourned at 4:15 p.m.
