[3:28] once see me other she throws secretary and Ashley manager we'll get right into
[4:10] our business first one young that gender is across North so afraid in the problem
[4:20] whoever wants to start
[4:24] okay my role I ended up way back bring them in come on with us before we get
[4:29] out of this coma again thank you all for hosting us tonight and for the support
[4:34] that you give Papen County Schools I know we say that all the time that is
[4:37] treatable is such a good working relationship that we have between our
[4:41] two boards serve the children every time but all the way down so thank you all
[4:48] for that we certainly do appreciate that we we we
[6:35] well as that is here tonight we're ready to begin the projects and funding is
[6:41] allocated I'll let mr. Nelson's we call Hulett Nelson speak today and answering
[6:50] questions we pretty much just come to you not to answer any questions you may
[6:54] have as to where we are what we do where we're going when we did the project
[7:02] maybe just probably first time we slowly live with a metal roof replacement
[7:10] bringing seven-week last time we met in January didn't talk about that so we
[7:17] have not looked at possibility of shingles what that cost would be if the
[7:25] line metal put those out there the results were very close I don't believe
[7:32] we have a single bidder that way above anybody else from one plate look
[7:39] they range the low beardless Eastgate forgiven and changed to teen track which
[7:50] was slightly higher on a 1.8 the average would have been around one and a half
[7:56] it's like leaving the city we met Jane where we provide a letter back this year
[8:04] estimating the shingle roof would run o'clock $800,000 thinking at that time
[8:13] so we felt good about the beer where it came in and did come in slightly under I
[8:19] didn't know that there are additional cost associated to that engineering cost
[8:23] as well as we've done some groundwork we need to do the governing system and what
[8:31] we decided to do there we pulled that ground pork out beer and decided that
[8:39] would be something we could get out locally we have enough people in our
[8:44] counties that are well versed in digging and we are then is it gives a mammal
[10:16] replacement these are some structural damage mm what what happened okay
[10:21] what we're doing is taking all old chute
[10:30] that way we're doing that for a couple reasons
[10:35] it gets all of this out of the way to start with it this job there's so much
[10:48] I'll show you and there's similar manages to put a story show that keeps
[10:55] you guys here the project gets the mess all over done with it start the job and
[11:01] we start on the everything to back so it's got an
[11:12] expansion joint flashing and then you going to reach camp and passing the
[11:18] words there and the problem is with this three visits cut up you can see we've
[11:41] got more than two groups of reasons on but then goes they'll get for flashing
[11:47] you know get started on this route only six panels and they got start finding
[11:54] which and it's just they get around that time then they just stop lashing out and
[12:04] it's just like that's one and it's just a very labor-intensive job so we've been
[12:23] doing this a long time we got system system so we spent a long time on the
[12:39] flash
[13:14] underneath the crack the lock system if you take care of this this is going to
[15:03] be addressed was thank you we're not going to have any conversation
[15:25] another reason we'll put ice water shield back we won that - water shield
[15:29] down there is stop that compensation if that Cupid metal where it came from and
[15:34] it served as a service of movement they can retire then it's also asserted as an
[15:39] air barrier which how much L know about wind damage to roofs the building
[15:49] stumble over item eight blow up but comes from the wind starts blowing the
[15:53] air pressure is lowered and it's enough to make these buildings literally boil
[15:59] up once you do by controlling that air pressure
[17:12] [Music]
[17:55] the structure was causing machines to turn a originally cannon at that time he
[18:09] indicates that the lack of ventilation may have been a factor in splitting the
[18:15] routines up and pulls down the induced stresses cannot be relieved at each
[18:19] angle as they should every every item that he's referring to
[18:24] the issue that has to do with the ventilation and he does not reference
[18:29] anything in the document about that the rafters have been damaged you may be in
[18:34] said at a meeting that we don't repair the roof against the leak a leak could
[18:41] lead to an issue with the rafters deep into people caused a lot of damage to
[18:46] that was not addressed in this report and then publishing is they can be ready
[18:51] to address this within three to five years in order to keep further than I
[18:58] don't know like tomorrow additional questions does this address the pension
[19:05] yes it does we you have you have some Gables up
[19:11] there and the cable through the only ventilation we need to seductive would
[19:21] like to go but the you know we did have a dressing we have a problem we know
[19:37] that we can put the metal on there go to great plates about ventilating doesn't
[19:45] know
[21:00] and it's going don't think about seems to spend a hundred on changes and turn
[21:11] around employees and another hundred thousand on shakin for me
[21:26] normally he just said keep everything make sure no matter wat to start
[21:30] accumulating laying on the heels 24 gauge galvanized steel and his collar
[21:40] gallery has got a canary the aluminum coating is phenomenal there is a final
[21:50] finish
[21:59] a good example a lot of bucks 35 years
[22:12] I'm 35 a minor making conversation yes speaking we change much experiences
[22:28] endemic you in some way this phenyl organization some work that it is and we
[22:39] think we have done a dew point calculation and you the dew point in
[22:47] this room is dependable comedy areas is down in the insulation and when it's
[22:53] down in the insulation that happens inside convinced all then it stays in
[22:59] the gashes he can't get up high enough to a cool surface because we've got the
[23:08] recording we've got the insulation there and keep them water vapor can get to the
[23:14] place where the condensation then what you got you got your metal ring that
[23:22] will apply wood and you've got a way to three inch plastic foam insulation
[23:28] moisture is trying to get it to that metal to convince that what it wants to
[23:33] be like you know it makes that cold service
[23:35] you can't the way we've got this design of the bill we can't do now I got
[23:45] splinters going through it and if it's ten degrees outside zero degrees outside
[24:01] you know those crews might get they've got to all the more to this
[24:29] [Music]
[24:35] so six sixteen hundred thousand dollar ranch did the shingle range and it's
[25:50] been between 1.2 1.5 is what we try to express I know when I presented this
[25:59] back in the budget cycle the 1718 school year we brought that to you at that time
[26:08] we we did present the numbers based on the shingle replacement because the
[26:13] assumption was we'll go up the lower amount that we had a single room to go
[26:20] back within those facie evidence intentionally perceivers
[26:29] mail and Windows Phone they were expendable so we the initial initial
[26:41] presentation for shingles network again right around $700,000 we quickly
[26:47] abandoned math of course that time we were telling you this since he were that
[27:35] report we had extreme labor issue we went back and looked about 1960 the
[28:04] prices this is a pretty good price taking all the things in labor issue
[28:15] that's got everybody on pins and needles and congratulations your accounting for
[28:31] it's not I don't think you to be cheaper thank you lay down
[28:38] well no I don't think you know I think I come from my old stage and we always try
[28:47] to Jean I've been here since 2000 tonight and I heard it's to discuss and
[29:11] at one time with this money back and was going to start it and it was watching me
[29:20] that then it's doing the same thing they do doesn't mind they pitied unreserved
[29:31] pregnancies founded by virtually the same price the government in January for
[29:40] that we have States a little bit of money to colonic or not a big deal and
[29:52] we know that our budget for next year is going to be a lot of difference so I'm
[30:09] gonna do some money that I really that can make it to a metal roof and we're
[30:20] gonna go back and do it just if we had I don't have that itchy right there on
[30:38] that one to remember
[30:59] engineer
[31:12] [Music]
[31:18] [Music]
[33:57] we have requested a hundred faces of penguin from down we're getting close
[34:10] yes you hear back until later when we came through the normal month of meeting
[34:16] to make that request of eight percent and it was based on one and a half
[34:20] million dollars but one religion over we did go up we're getting you're not
[34:54] eating the only thing you get is they the only thing you get in this piece of
[35:02] paper neon that is the only thing that's changed about this part
[35:23] [Music]
[36:54] something like this kind of cream because my experience has been that
[37:01] these are $42 teachers in 20 years or whatever that same entity being in that
[37:17] same place but
[37:29] you know whenever come up for you know that was we we feel that was three
[38:38] handing them considering all the place and that's where part of that's where
[38:49] Mark was talking about and just then where did we did when we've been looking
[38:53] at this we were hoping to be surprised and what money that be here our baby you
[39:05] know reserved with everything else it's help this year you know it's interesting
[39:19] this one thing keep in mind whatever we're gonna do we're on a time out but
[39:26] there's no reasoning on that bill
[40:07] we vacation in G and typically they're six right okay
[40:47] they have to figure that into their country if there's nine ring bases and
[40:52] they can come back to this insane there was three days can can you a contractor
[41:08] finish that yes because I know certainly I know the deal yes to me it's a big
[41:20] bill and that's kind of but they they can do it it is a huge loser coming
[41:26] seascape is a small article which is
[41:35] what was your that I can get that we pulled out for the engineering work the
[41:41] cavalry and grant work well we have a figure of a denial we're anticipating
[41:48] that politics today
[42:53] happens
[44:31] [Music]
[45:01] [Music]
[45:06] [Music]
[45:38] [Music]
[45:51] the warranty Justin the engineers that
[46:01] work one day and 598 seven seas
[47:17] [Music]
[47:44] [Music]
[48:15] because he's very like
[48:49] and if we were to get it through code the spring and your professional opinion
[50:13] on this but if you think these would be better is there is there you hear that
[50:20] you can't get mail running I'll still manufacture you stay on the target is
[50:24] eternity supply if you think people get back to work and they've learned to deal
[50:29] with this code and we get through the winter and people are catching that that
[50:34] there could be a possibility that in the spring
[52:54] Danis I stayed at Woody's version probably positionality
[53:03] no I I mean the discussion is moot at this point as far as needed and
[53:11] possibilities I mean look you'll agree we were aware of that community and it
[53:20] just firmly as the main camera I mean there looks at our budget this year
[53:27] party extended past what we started with you know we started best discussions and
[53:37] that's me you know run backwards I liked it I mean we we can have to be dead I
[53:53] would like to examine as we look at the funding rather than just a you know
[54:06] automatically appropriations and
[54:15] schedule may try to look at some avenues for it to be paid from or through but as
[54:29] far as it being funding to ID about thinking way around the back you asked
[54:40] question when this we will get along on
[54:50] that part yeah
[55:44] [Music]
[55:54] go ahead and it's appropriated both so I'll just remind the board that we did
[56:47] so we have a balance in the lottery as
[56:52] June 1st of 364,000 that come June we're allocated so much amount for that money
[57:04] in stoves and
[57:11] okay now for our next agenda and you're in middle school our condition project
[58:30] thank again we have had sort of been success for their concept of the
[58:36] standalone need a mr. Olsen and the maintenance team went in and they
[58:42] personally installed the first time this test and cannon it took longer than what
[58:54] we were doing he sure did perfect 60 80 70 degrees even under the stressed
[59:04] conditions so we have had tremendous success with our tests so people a
[59:14] expand on that we're basically painting in style each of you
[59:20] there's about a four by four home has to be coming wrong yes agent so he went
[59:26] extinct together so against bottom line bottom line what we're looking at here
[59:35] is two thousand dollars of human for the material and the unit itself
[59:41] do need to purchase a total of 25 to complete second home so we're looking at
[59:51] just that there's the dream however what we are in the process of trying to
[1:00:00] determine tears can begin the same concept install licensed professional
[1:00:13] and what would that cost be the reason for that is it took about a day to
[1:00:20] install the unit for our maintenance thing so 25 units it's going to take a
[1:00:27] month which means our maintenance team will be devoted to that project over the
[1:00:33] summer the normal process changing air filters and taking care of killers as we
[1:00:52] preventative maintenance that goes all plus the things that come up over so -
[1:01:02] that must department do with it and they're not against doing it either as
[1:01:08] long as everybody understands this is throughout together they're one of the
[1:01:12] you know this would be priority you know unless there's
[1:01:16] sparkline or water
[1:01:34] that was another concern I made your take away or you're going with people do
[1:01:43] this every day I agree with that so absolutely
[1:02:08] those were the two graphs as right now it isn't working
[1:02:22] there's one thing the crank facing off [Music]
[1:02:37] don't we I mean not the place you better get this thing to be a constant
[1:02:45] yes I mean you get the contract reading and getting over and get this 10 kids
[1:02:51] get back in school we do I mean I see where we are with another e stuff to
[1:03:00] relate to people you deal with when you're going out the contract labor is
[1:03:10] hand or force trying to find someone that is six months out there's only so
[1:03:18] many HVAC people in a or County it'd been done this surgery they see let's
[1:03:26] remember the full plan to eat you yes they'd be able to most question about
[1:03:41] that about the same alone how does that work in common areas like I think
[1:03:48] by a postman's from office that big open area order we would have to
[1:03:53] strategically place them at all four locations I consider I get it
[1:04:01] so okay I'm just curious you know
[1:04:38] [Music]
[1:06:04] [Music]
[1:06:29] [Music]
[1:07:06] [Music]
[1:07:50] the cranberries
[1:08:17] yes I can't answer that it is a fair question and yes we replaced single
[1:09:15] sections and blowers in the past I do know that when we did the high school
[1:09:20] board last summer when we looked into it it actually ended up to the more
[1:09:27] cost-effective to replace the entire team there replaced their sleeves
[1:09:33] because of the way they construct those now they come in you can't get a single
[1:09:43] sleeve three sleeves school work so the more sleeves you got cheaper the total
[1:09:51] I'll need to go back and confirm with my I do remember discussing that and I
[1:09:58] can't remember how many sleeves in that boiler or actually
[1:10:06] I completed so we all surprised by that extended completion date yearns for
[1:11:14] accession so we're in the process right now following with the architect and the
[1:11:19] general contractor to see weekend okay or have provided to other McCleary scape
[1:11:25] to try to get that time trim back up to the reach month completion date as you
[1:11:32] all know in January we were told Christmas over mm from that project so
[1:11:40] it was quite a surprise to all of us that's where we are we received notice
[1:11:47] that piping is big the trenches are being dug
[1:11:50] Satan needs to put up a round side of that school they get his Rock I don't
[1:11:57] know they hit more oxidants their last update was in that trench that created a
[1:12:02] little bitty language we anticipate their rock they're making progress we're
[1:12:07] still looking at the labor amount of labor to come to campus each day
[1:12:13] hopefully they'll start picking it up now workers on site 19 as impact
[1:12:20] a labor force so what we had electrician stand down I think for a total of 10
[1:12:26] days that were quarantined it's a total of 10 days which makes it work stop so
[1:12:31] now that has been picked back up the electrician's have been cleared so
[1:12:34] hopefully we can see some good weather or white rain has been perceived as to
[1:12:39] see some significant progress projects anything but old days fit into winter
[1:12:59] days those new starting pistol suits page probably going to build into their
[1:13:05] schedule weather day I don't think what we're seeing is the
[1:13:13] code that is impacting access materials and the number of people working I had a
[1:13:24] conversation here last week and he did say that there was some discussion from
[1:13:31] branch going the duration of basically
[1:13:41] and Pierre said we're killing them note that contractually it can't be known
[1:13:48] there is a clause in the contract that will prohibit them in on our use of it
[1:13:57] as an excuse for an extension of their contract through sorry well - I've been
[1:14:07] told only 80 pursue the things that they had missed from the account for robbery
[1:14:16] - a person who cannot be Thanks if they can't be taken uses for it today was
[1:14:26] that accurate and it's keeping nothing
[1:14:36] [Music]
[1:14:54] [Music]
[1:16:22] is not building contract no it's not our that's not as powerful chat that's one
[1:16:30] time unit contract over time
[1:16:52] so it's not so we found a storage space to accommodate the pre-loading dwell in
[1:17:28] advance you know this materials I'm sign can't relate and we we asked was coming
[1:17:38] this far though remember last summer right after graduation that be there
[1:17:44] digging but it was all up in July before the ground up froze over
[1:17:49] we were we had a pretty good luck heart conversation with them the calls of
[1:17:57] amazement to them you all know mrs. June and July and a recounting a bill you
[1:18:04] mister to best mantra we're doing last month so again we we were disappointed
[1:18:12] that it came back as April code like everyone was saying in January or
[1:18:19] February dates so was one and four months we lost four months and thinking
[1:18:23] how that happened for those twenty days that were out there in a lot of ways 120
[1:18:33] days by the Brady yeah oh yeah posted a at all this hanjung nothing that bad
[1:18:41] Mitchell David Finnigan and August the starting action basically we were
[1:18:46] supposed to be going in the school started this fall but yet those those
[1:18:55] arrived instance initial things that was you
[1:21:37] so the other thing I wanted to bring up three minutes what we talked about this
[1:21:45] after school and we did meet with Wayne and Caribbean I'm wrong when he is
[1:21:53] committed to providing Africa to the citizens and instead it's very County
[1:22:00] working families and they said the money's going to come from somewhere so
[1:22:05] they're going to get active with the grants and we've got a meeting next
[1:22:10] Monday with Amy and we're just going to try to beat the misuse them we've got to
[1:22:18] have every school prayer working parents throw up you know any grants we could go
[1:22:25] after you know they're just like we can do great leadership and determination on
[1:22:38] kids and arranging the meeting next Monday
[1:22:54] we have talked some downstairs and we talked on each dish yes DSS yes and
[1:23:02] whammy is talking with them to get accredited so sue State dollars in help
[1:23:11] pay for efforts code we need to try to hit at that point and then rave - you
[1:23:18] know kind of say you know number one cause this first nailed on cue was the
[1:23:22] food indeed
