REPORT OF COMMITTEES
8.1
Committee of the Whole
Chairman Denesiuk provided information on the committee of the whole meeting held on
May 17, 2004:
a.
Penticton Secondary School Reconstruction
1.
Review Design Questions
The secretary-treasurer briefly reviewed issues related to Options A to D
including the limited opportunities to find alternative use for Shatford in
Options A and C plus work done to develop plans for Option B. Trustees
acknowledged that if Shatford were left without a plan for its use and without
funding for renovation upgrades, the building’s future would need to be
confirmed. It was also observed it may not be possible to identify tenants for
Shatford that would be compatible adjoining a high school.
Nick Bevanda reviewed planning for Option B and a new Option B3. The
work with Option B included design review for the multipurpose room, drama,
administration, and foods. Mr. Bevanda observed the initial review supports
locating the multipurpose room at the basement level of the Ellis building;
drama, and administration, and foods would adjoin. Ramps were suggested
by Mr. Bevanda as the means for students to walk to the next floor levels.
The committee was advised further review of an option to construct the
school behind the façade of Ellis and Shatford was found to be too
expensive.

2. Costing Update
The committee was provided with the current cost estimates for the options
as follows:
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
$23,487,488
23,794,006
22,024,868
21,354,919
The cost estimates have been prepared by Spiegel Skillen and Associates
and are based on numerous assumptions. These estimates will change as
additional information is gathered and at this stage are provided to estimate
the relative cost differences between the options. Option B3 is expected to
be similar to B1 with savings expected from temporary accommodations and
additional expenses due to ramps/covered walkways required to connect the
three buildings.
3. Sources of Funding
The Ministry of Education would be expected to provide funding at the Option
D level and may approve at Option C level. Should Option B be the district’s
goal, then additional funds would be required. The committee was provided
with a summary of possible uses for the annual capital grant for the next ten
years and the secretary-treasurer observed there are limited funds from ACG
available to support the Penticton Secondary School project. Other possible
sources of funds could be property sales such as land in Naramata or
adjoining Uplands but only 25% of a sale would be at the Board’s discretion.
The need to obtain some community funding if the Ellis/Shatford buildings
are retained was also discussed.
4. Heritage Status
The committee was provided with a December 12, 2003 report prepared by
City Planner Donna Butler which was approved by the council on May 17,
2004. The options available to the city regarding heritage were summarized
including the option to give heritage designation.
5. New Penticton Secondary School Operating Costs
The secretary-treasurer reviewed the calculation of operating costs at the
school and estimated savings when the new building is completed. It was
noted the savings will be less than previously estimated when the project
was proposed due to reduced maintenance service levels required in the last
three budgets and expected utility expenditures due to new air conditioning
and air quality enhancements.
6. Feedback from Community, Staff, Student Meetings
Meetings were held on April 26, 27, and 28 to review PSS design options.
The committee was provided with a summary of written comments received
at these meetings and a graph which reported first and second choices of
participants.
7. Next Steps
The committee supported that a meeting be arranged between the city and
school district to review the options and funding issues.
