S. Malek with TERRA Engineering discussed the plans for water intrusion in the Admin Building.  S. Malek shared the drawings to discuss in further detail. 

The following topics were discussed: 

• Drain Tiles and Downspouts
  • Diverting downspouts away from the building
  • Adding foundation drain tiles on the east side
• Roll curb at garage entrance of Admin building
• Other topics: rain garden, new heavy-duty trench drain to divert water from buildings.

Discussion of Einstein Academy (Lease of Space) as a backup plan if EMSA is unable to have the Admin building down for next year.

Mobile classrooms were discussed as an alternative option, and how (3 - 4) classrooms would be needed.

D. Alexander advised that Illinois Tollway will do a noise study for noise pollution. A barrier wall at the swing set playground would reduce the noise, and not disrupt learning. The estimated cost would be around $135,000. It was discussed that there might be cost-sharing in regard to building this barrier wall. 

A discussion was done about traffic flow in and out of the school onto 25. D. Alexander recommended sending a letter to IDOT with the traffic concerns and cars having trouble coming out of the school. S. Bennett recommended having a sign put up.
