CORE team minutes 3-25-13



CORE 3-25-13
Monday, March 25, 2013
8:07 AM
Robin, Kathy, Kincaid, Kate, John

Robin is present mostly to give his last input and resign.
Kathy is worried about where the library will ultimately be placed.

Proposed agenda:
·         Review of DRB process and final application
·   Master Site plan will be completed with minor modifications
·   Act 250 will be processed concurrently with the DESIGN GUIDELINES
·   These will both be resolved with the DRB prior to the first actual building application.
·   Robin pointed out that the final disposition of the library and the use of the main building after the dining has moved out need to be articulated on the map.
·         Goals for Core Team in 2013/next steps
·   Master Site plan will be completed with minor modifications
·   Act 250 will be processed concurrently with the DESIGN GUIDELINES
·   Robin asked that we organize our Field Teams under a set of SuperOrdinate Goals set by the Core Team.  This leaves the job of the CORE to …?
·   Kin would like to see the CORE shepherd the new landscaping.
·   Kate's three year business plan needs to help drive the CORE process.  At the NESEA conference she noted that what makes us unique is the ability to recruit stakeholders and skill sets from our constituency.
·   Kathy thinks all new CORE members should take the Regenerative  Design course.
·   Kin would like to see the Pentad reinforced as the action component of the CORE team (as opposed to the CORE team trying to do all the heavy lifting.)
 
  Next steps for each of the field teams:
Goals:
                                       i.      Infrastructure and Site Work (non-revenue generating)
Scheduled so the first building would go up in 2015.  A special group needs to be formed that will balance the needs of waste-water, roads, storm water, etc.  - as these things will compete for resources.
                                     ii.      Phase One Buildings (revenue generating)
Start with a dormitory.  Then would come the second dormitory.  Finally the studio/shop buildings would be undertaken. 
                                    iii.      Design Process (D'Amigos)
      1. John to write up the way the Design Guidelines will help the YM designers and incorporate the design into the curriculum.
      1. Perhaps this needs a Design/Builder in residence….Or a Project Manager or a School Designer.
      1. Kate knows we need a Project Manager.
      1. John knows we need a DESIGN/builder.  Design with assembly and building science at its service.
                                   iv.      Fund Raising and Fiscal
How much is needed for phases i, ii, iii above?
      1. Jon Larsen or Bill Stutts.
·         How do we communicate our progress with the wider YM community?
·   Passage of the Master Plan will be a watershed moment that has the potential for CORE team recruiting, concept buy-in, etc.
·   Kin suggested getting Bill Reed and John Boecker to present and champion the MasterPlan to the Board and the YM community at large.
      • The Board schedule may be adjusted to allow Bill and John's involvement without further cost.

·         Nominations for new core team members
