LEOMINSTER -- The City Council approved a bond of approximately $3.2 million for the replacement of the roof at Northwest Elementary School Monday night during its regular meeting.

"This is a high-quality project at minimal cost," Superintendent of Schools Jim Jolicoeur said about the roof replacement and how the Massachusetts School Building Authority, using its Accelerated Repair Program, will reimburse the city nearly 72 percent of the construction cost.

Once the project is completed, the city will have paid about $909,767 for the $3.2 million repair.

The leaking is damaging the roof's supporting structure and could potentially damage the wooden parquet floor in the school's gymnasium, Jolicoeur said when first describing why the project was necessary.

Jolicoeur was before the council Monday night with district Facilities Director Anthony Sciabarrasi to answer questions from councilors about the project.

During their brief presentation, Jolicoeur said that while consulting engineers were designing the repair project, an additional issue was raised -- channeling the water that runs off the areas of the roof that are sloped.

"It's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed," Sciabarrasi said about the water and the ice that accumulates in the winter, especially in the building's entrances and doorways.

"It creates a serious hazard," he said, adding that custodians often must chisel ice out of doorways when the temperatures drop.

The repair will cost about $81,000 and will create a drainage system that will channel the runoff directly into underground storm water pipes around the school, which is at 45 Stearns Ave.

The $81,000 project does not meet the criteria for the MSBA Accelerated Repair Program, so Jolicoeur said the city will have to bear its full cost.

The Board of Education for Tri County Technology Center met Thursday evening and approved several items including a replacement roof for the centers Osage Room and Osage Annex as well as a new marketing plan for the school.

According to Eric Randall, TCTCs director of physical plant services, the roof over the Osage Room and Annex is approximately 30 years old, and in recent years the roof has started to leak.

Were looking at approximately 7,800 square feet of roofing that has outlived its usefulness. We have been planning to have this expense for several years now, and the roof is in a condition now where it is leaking in spots and a patch job would not solve the problem, he said.

Randall said he expects the project to cost between $80,000 to $100,000 to replace. After discussion, the board approved action to re-roof the Osage Room and Annex and to begin negotiations to hire architect Dan Keleher to design and oversee the project.

In other business, TCTC Chief Marketing Officer and Director of Human Resources Tiffany Bruce presented a plan to the Board of Education to change the marketing angle and plan for TCTC.

According to Bruce, the marketing committee held a focus group to discuss how the technology school can better identify itself in the community. Based on the focus group, a new marketing plan and logo was discussed. According to the proposal, the name of the center would be shortened from Tri County Technology Center to simply Tri County Tech.

Bruce said a new logo is in the design phase and would be available for marketing purposes towards the end of February 2015. According to Bruce, the model mirrors those of other CareerTech centers throughout the state, citing names like Tulsa Tech and Moore-Norman Tech.

Following discussion the board voted to approve the new marketing plan. TCTCs Board of Education next meets on Feb. 12.

TCTC board approves new roof, new name

Our committed staff has served thousands of clients, ranging from those with quite urgent needs to those looking for reputable products that can extend the life of an existing roof. When it comes to fix RV roof leaks we receive countless calls from folks in desperation telling us stories of dealing with RV leaks repair. Many of our customers have faced the same issue year after year and others just discovered their leak just after recently purchasing an RV or motorhome. For many customers we hear the same story over and over again; well we put this elastomeric on our roof every 4 years but it still leaks. OR we have tried everything and when we wash our roof the material we put on starts peeling off. When customers call us we are not at all surprised with their initial skepticism. But after viewing the videos sent in by our customers and reading the testimonials it becomes clear very quickly that Liquid EPDM is unlike anything out on the market. This is part of the reason for its 26 year history in successfully recoating RVs.

Chemically speaking, EPDM is basically ethylene propylene diene monomer and was first developed in the 1960's and has since been a great solution within its niche of industries. The drying properties of the EPDM are depended on the prevailing air temperature and oxygen availability. The curing mechanism in this product will therefore vary depending on the air temperature. Although the material can be put on at any temperature; oxygen is required to activate the hardener. The curative properties of the EPDM Liquid rubber will therefore change from inactive to active and back as temperature changes. Quite frankly Liquid Roof can be applied at freezing temperature but it wont cure until it gets above 55. In fact a newly coated roof can be exposed to ponding water and if the temperature of the water is above 55 it will actually cure underwater. You will also be pleased to learn that the physical and protective properties of Liquid EPDM are not compromised even during temperature swings. You cant say that about any other product! Liquid EPDM takes a relatively shorter time of about 3-5 days to dry and cure your RV roof. As mentioned however, this time is depended on temperature.

EPDM is used in a wide range of recoating and repairs, these include:

In the case of asphalt roofing, it's advisable to apply our ProFlex primer first before applying the Liquid Roof. ProFlex has been tested to work in conjunction with Liquid Roof and is the best available water proofing product. It can also be used on concrete roof decks. If your RV roof leaks the only solution for you is Liquid EPDM (Liquid Roof). Just look at the numerous benefits and advantages which cannot be compared to any product of its kind on the market.

EPDM Coatings is proud to offer the only one coat 10 Year warranty in the RV industry and is transferrable. With over 25 years of proven success in the RV industry; Liquid Roof has proven time and time again to outperform any other RV roof coating. Once you get to our order form you will be given the opportunity to upgrade to a 10 year warranty or keep the existing 5 year warranty. To upgrade you simply choose "Yes I want a 10 Year Warranty". The system will automatically update your order by adding enough material to be applied at a 30 mil vs a 20 mil. A gallon covers approximately 42 sq. ft. per gallon but for a 10 year warranty you will want to apply it at the rate of 30 square feet per gallon. Once you place your order you will simultaneously be e-mailed a warranty certificate containing your order summary and warranty number.

SOUTH AMHERST About 70 residents attended a Firelands School District meeting Thursday to discuss the future of their high school, middle school and elementary school buildings.

The school board has considered the issue for nearly a decade, said Superintendent Robert Hill.

Bob Mcullough, a representative from Hammond Construction in Canton, presented results of assessments his company has completed on the three buildings.

Firelands High School needs major renovations, he said. Plumbing, roofing and the electrical system need replacing, he said, and exterior walls require only a few improvements. He also suggested upgrading the schools fire alarm system and handicap accessibility.

Mcullough said the middle school, built almost 50 years ago, should be replaced.

Its not a suitable building, he said.

Despite Mculloughs suggestions, Hill said Firelands residents will make the final decisions on building renovations or replacement.

The Board of Education is making every effort to be as transparent as possible, he said, adding that letting community members add their input was a clear decision by the board especially since reconstruction would require a bond vote. Its their district. Its their money.

Residents left the room Thursday with clear instructions: Talk with their fellow community members and gather ideas on how to press forward with the building reconstruction project.

They plan to meet againJan. 29 at the high school.
