The Monday morning status meeting occurred on Tuesday morning this week, with Lee, Peter, and Anna.

3) Entry Glass
- 3 of the 4 glass panels over the main entrance were damaged by homeless

- Everest will install
4) North Wall
- Peter delivered a CO earlier Tuesday morning
- The Board will review and sign off ASAP
5) Windows
- Replacement OEM bulb gaskets for the operable windows are difficult to find - the manufacturer is not being much help
- While the mock-up solution worked to seal the window (essentially foam weatherstripping tape), it’s not a good long-term solution
- Anna suggested that, based on her recent experience with a similar building, fabricating new gaskets might be the fastest, easiest path
- Alan (door and window guy) is continuing to search for solutions
6) East Wall Coating Certification
- Anna asked about a certification letter from Figley for wall coating adhesion on the east elevation
- Rick from Figley was going to send something; Peter will follow up to find out why it hasn’t arrived
