9 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OCTOBER 9, STANDING REPORT CONSTRUCTION UP- DATE (Continued) 13.3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT Ms. Peres said before the dismantling project of the Columbia School House began, it was tested for hazardous materials and the paint is lead-based. As a result, the college cannot do a regular dismantle and cannot give the building to another non-profit organization because of liability. If it is dismantled, it will need to be done professionally to comply with hazardous materials regulations. The museum board is concerned about getting rid of the building and is recommending the paint be encapsulated. Either option has the potential of being expensive and may not be appropriate for using the General Fund. The Museum does have some funds that were donated which could be used for either purpose. The administration is in the process of considering options and have been discussing possibilities with experts in that area.
