This memorandum expresses understandings on the part of the Bath Rotary Trust and those members of Regional School Unit 1 supervising the construction of houses or other buildings under the auspices of the Bath Rotary Trust. The Trust Agreement itself is made a part of this understanding and a copy of the same is attached hereto.

  1. For purposes of administering this understanding, a Building Committee consisting of 3 representatives from RSU 1 appointed by the Superintendent of Schools, and 3 representatives from the Bath Rotary Trust and such others as may from time to time deemed appropriate, shall be formed. The Director of the Vocational School shall be responsible for all academic aspects of the building program under this agreement, including liaison with the Bath Rotary Trust and shall be a member of the Building Committee. This Committee, under the Chairmanship of the President of the Bath Rotary Trust, shall have the full responsibility for the recommendation of construction plans and budget for projects under this memorandum, with the final approval given by the Bath Rotary Trust. 2. Prior to beginning construction the Building Committee and appropriate school authorities will approve the building plans and a mandatory budget. Changes shall be allowed only under the following conditions.

a. Changes which in the opinion of the school authorities would provide valuable training experiences, but would not add unduly to the cost of the building.

b. Changes which are necessary because of defects in original planning.

c. Changes which do not fall in the above categories and/or which substantially increase the cost must be approved in advance by the Building Committee. No specific extras will be added for a prospective buyer until a firm buy and sell agreement has been properly executed.

  1. The Building Committee shall give careful consideration to the type of house to be built, the possible price range and the degree of completion of the building. These houses will be sold off the Congress Avenue building site as a modular unit to be moved to the buyer's own lot at the buyer's expense.

  2. Nothing in the above shall be construed to limit the right of the school authorities to recommend plans to make all necessary purchases approved by the Building Committee and to control all aspects of the program relating to the instructional aspects of the vocational building trades curriculum.

  3. All bills will be submitted to the Director of the Vocational School for his/her written approval before payments are made by the Rotary Trust Treasurer.

In order to insure complete understanding by all concerned, these documents shall be reviewed annually as soon after July 1 as practicable so that the new officers of the Bath Rotary Trust and the representatives of RSU 1, if any, may be familiar with the rules of operation for the ensuring year.
