Keith Arlund stated there is an issue with regard to the old Brandon Training School.  Mr. Arlund advised the state has determined they are going to sell buildings J, K and the Administration building.  There was a question raised concerning the roof drains and he noted they need an answer for tomorrow's closing.  They would like to know the issues with the roof drains and he stated that Tom Schmelzenbach and the wastewater staff have done smoke tests and they feel the drains are set up on J and K, but not on the Administration building.
