IV. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION A. Health Status
1. Bungay School a. Oil Spill-Root Cause and Corrective Action
Mr. Falzone reviewed recent minor oil spill. The oil spill may have been caused by a defective vent pipe, which will be addressed when the weather warms up enough to inspect the oil tank and pipe. The contracted oil company has p~id all expenses to remediate the effects of the spill and subsequent deliveries have been monitored by a Seymour School employee. Mr. Falzone indicated that the oil tank would also be inspected and sludge removal would be done during the summer. Bungay School is the oldest building in district at this time and is need of major repairs. Major areas of concern are floor tiles, roof leaks, paving issues and heating issues including the need for a new boiler. Mr. Belden indicated that we are going to need to address these issues. The district will either have to start putting significant operating expense funds into addressing these issues or we can go to the town Permanent Building Committee as well as the First Selectman to start talks on a "renovate as new" capital building project. Mr. Kubik says he will broach the issue with the town. He would also like to do a walkthrough to see for himself the areas of concern.
2. Chatlield-LoPresti School The only area of concern with this school is the Snow Melt system, which is now in the hands of the town attorney,
3. Seymour Middle School The floor tiles in this school are reaching end of life and are starting to need replacement. There are also several roof leaks and the roof is reaching end of life.
------------ "IT'S ALL ABOUT STUDENT LEARNING" -"--,---------
4. Seymour High School a. Boilers
The two boilers had eight sections replaced at a cost of $35,000 during the summer of 2017. The water returning to the boilers was too cold resulting in cracking. It was decided to call in an outside company to see if there are any solutions to this issue (i.e. insulating pipes, mixing value, and a system to monitor the return water temperature.)
b. Pool The pool has a dedicated boiler which runs 24/7 and is not energy efficient due to the length of the pipe run. Mr. Falzone reco·mmended the possibility of adding an auxiliary pump.
C. OCR Status Update Mr. Belden distributed a copy of our Voluntary Corrective Action Plan with the areas that we are continuing to address. Mr. Belden indicated we are chipping away at the open issues and Dr. Wood (State Consultant) is satisfied with the work that is being done. An annual report is prepared for the State OCR department with the status of the remediation efforts. Mr. Belden noted that there is significant work to be done in the locker room/gym areas if a student/staff member requires ADA accessibility.

Dear Mr. Falzone,
CONNECTICUT STAT;lilFfflFJ.·.SAFETY CODE ABATEMENT ORDER OF FIRE/LIFJ)lSAFETY HAZARDS
On 8/14/2017, at approximately 1030 hours, an inspection was conducted of the premises located at 211 Mountain Road, Seymour, Connecticut for the purpose of compliance with Connecticut Fire Safety Code and the applicable referenced applicable standards, adopted pursuant to the Connecticut General Statutes §29-292 and §29-293. The Code and said standards are available for your inspection at this office.
The violation of the code found on the date of inspection are listed on the attached inspection report.
You are hereby ordered to take the proper corrective action to remove or remedy all the listed violations within thirty (30) days from the day that this notice is received, unless otherwise noted on the attached inspection report.
If you believe that compliance with the code will impose an unreasonable hardship, and that alternative methods of achieving an equivalent level of safety could be attained, you may request, in writing, a modification of the requirements of said Code as outlined in the Connecticut General Statues§ 29-296. If you believe compliance will take more than that specified, you may request an extension of time prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day.period, unless otherwise noted on the attached inspection report. Sample forms for application for modification and extension of time for compliance are available from this office. In addition you have the right to appeal this order pursuant to Connecticut General Statues §29-306 for a period of not more than thirty (30) days from receipt.
Plans/specifications for work to be done shall be submitted to this office prior to the commencement of any construction. This review of all plans/specifications would avoid unnecessary expense that could result from non-complying changes. Please note that the correction of certain violations may require proper permits and approval from the building official and other local agencies prior to any construction.
This is the only order you will receive. This office will conduct a re-inspection of the premises to determine compliance with this order after the expiration of the thirty-day (30) or the time period noted on the inspection report. Your failure to comply with this order within the period specified as determined by said re-inspection consti.tutes your failure to comply with the Connecticut State Fire Safety Code which may subject you to criminal prosecution as prescribed by Connecticut General Statues §29-306 with penalties ofa fine not Jess than two hundred dollars ($200.) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1000.00) or imprisomnent ofup to six months or both, as prescribed in Connecticut General Statues §29-295. Non-compliance may result in a civil proceeding against you as authorized in Connecticut General Statues § 29-306
This Office is looking forward to working with you in the interest of fire and life safety for the community and awaits your timely response to this matter.
