1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,360
Yes.

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,160
>> Yeah. So, essentially this is Robert's

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,240
purchases and Cory's maintenance and

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,720
purchases as well. It makes up that $13

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,960
million.

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,000
Um, so next slide, Adam is proposed

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
elementary school debt payments. We need

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,840
a loan to build these schools. We don't

9
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,760
have $55 million in reserve to build the

10
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,800
schools. We need a loan. So, I'll talk

11
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,519
about the detail of that later. $4.4

12
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:27,119
million.

13
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:31,039
In my conversations with lenders, it's a possibility they want us to put

14
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,600
essentially a reserve fund in case of

15
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,680
non-payment and they want us to

16
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,520
potentially have about a $4.5 million

17
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,000
reserve fund established.

18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,360
It's kind of like when, for example,

19
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,280
when I built my house, that construction

20
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,320
loan, the bank asked me to put a large

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,360
sum of money, $30, $40,000 into their

22
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,640
bank that they held that I couldn't

23
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,520
access until my loan was paid off. Same

24
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,160
concept. It's our money. they can't use

25
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,760
it, but they want to hold in reserve in

26
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,840
case we non-perform our loan. Not going

27
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,800
to happen, but that's part of the

28
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,280
unwritten process at the bank. I'm

29
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,600
working with them on that to hopefully

30
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,960
not have that, and I think I made

31
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,200
progress on that, but this is worst case

32
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:17,270
scenario.

33
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,479
I was asking a question about um can you

34
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:22,240
tell me again what loan we're talking

35
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,080
about for the

36
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,240
>> for the Discovery Elementary and West

37
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Tremont elementary school builds

38
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,640
>> total amount of that

39
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,040
>> about $55 million.

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,560
I'll have a slide on that. I'll go into

41
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,510
that detail at a later point here.

42
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,880
uh secure vestables. So HB84 back in

43
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,280
2003 required

44
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
uh school districts in any school really

45
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,680
to secure their front entrances called a

46
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,200
secure vestible, a place where they can

47
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,720
contain visitors that can't get into the

48
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,159
main part of the building without

49
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:57,200
verifying their identity uh and be

50
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,759
basically a secure area. Uh we have some

51
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:02,079
schools that are challenging to to

52
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:03,680
construct those that require significant

53
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840
capital investments. We're forecasting

54
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560
about $2.6 million. We haven't designed

55
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,160
those yet. That's just our best guess

56
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,599
based on what we know might need to

57
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:13,599
happen.

58
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,920
Um, security sewer preventive

59
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,680
maintenance. Right now, we're working

60
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,920
with our construction managers to

61
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,520
inspect all our sewer lines with a

62
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,920
camera, determine where they might be

63
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:26,800
failure points. And this is to fix those

64
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,680
failure points so later on during school

65
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,920
hours or in the future we don't have

66
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:33,280
broken lines. This is preventing the

67
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,959
maintenance. kind of like taking your

68
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:36,239
car to the mechanic and have them do a

69
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,800
once over and check everything that

70
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200
needs to be lubed or replaced, tires,

71
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,360
oil, uh, washer fluid, all those things.

72
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,319
That's what we're doing for our sewer

73
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,400
system to prevent that. Yes.

74
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,560
>> Does that amount does that amount

75
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,280
include um just finding out or does that

76
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,120
include the maintenance?

77
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,400
>> This is the repair. So, the finding out

78
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,680
we're doing right now in this fiscal

79
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,519
year with existing budgets.

80
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:02,400
>> Okay. Thanks.

81
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,560
Um then next we have air conditioning

82
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
installation. Now I have detail on these

83
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,080
line items in different slides, but this

84
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,360
is an overview. Um $5.1 million to air

85
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,640
condition the remaining parts of our

86
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,080
school district. So every building has

87
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
air conditioning. We know that was a a

88
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,000
um priority for the public in our

89
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,840
surveys. So we're putting forward

90
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,959
existing capital funds to do that.

91
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:25,040
Uh school bus purchases. So we refresh

92
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,599
our school bus fleet as buses age out.

93
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,239
Currently, we're doing about a million3

94
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:35,519
to a million5 per year. So, this is that line item for that those purchases.

95
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:36,959
Then, we take the older buses, we go

96
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:39,280
sell them at auction. A lot of times we

97
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,319
get 8 $10,000 for a school bus. Not a

98
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,400
lot. We use them till they till their

99
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,560
maintenance costs more to operate than

100
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,920
it is for us to buy a new school bus.

101
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,840
A biggest thing on school buses, the

102
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,000
problem is emissions items. So, they're

103
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,159
all diesel vehicles. So, the diesel

104
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,159
particulate filters and the diesel

105
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,799
exhaust fluid uh system are very costly

106
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:02,319
to replace. So, when we get to that

107
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:04,239
point where we're looking at a 40 or

108
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:06,640
$50,000 repair in parts, it's that time

109
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000
to replace that bus.

110
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Um, district vehicle purchases.

111
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,599
Currently, we don't have a plan for

112
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:15,680
purchasing district vehicles as they age

113
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,600
out. And this is for what we call our

114
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,639
white fleet suburbans, vans, cars that

115
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:21,840
are used around our district to

116
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,000
transport students and staff for their

117
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,080
different responsibilities. Um, as I

118
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,120
mentioned earlier, we have some

119
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,759
suburbans that are 200,000 miles. That's

120
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:31,360
pretty that's pretty high for a vehicle

121
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,840
that depends on to transport students

122
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,400
around the state. So, as these age out,

123
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,720
we will buy new vehicles, sell the old

124
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,800
ones at auction, but this is a line item

125
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,880
to to purchase those as we need

126
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,950
throughout the year.

127
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,400
Um, Bay River High School improvements.

128
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,150
>> Oh, you have a question?

129
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,759
» I was just curious if that was the same

130
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,800
budget for the driver's ed cars or

131
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,680
>> It could be.

132
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,400
>> Oh, yeah.

133
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440
>> Yeah. So, we can um move driver's ed

134
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,919
cars into the fleet and buy new driver's

135
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:08,479
ed cars. We try and use these vehicles

136
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:09,759
as much as we can till they start

137
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:12,160
costing us money extra for maintenance

138
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,800
or we feel like they're unsafe. So, we

139
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,960
try and for our larger vehicles are

140
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,280
trucks that are in CTE or maintenance

141
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,600
vehicles, they're about 150,000 miles

142
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,600
that we start to move them on. Other

143
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,120
vehicles, the sweet spots right about

144
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,880
100,000 miles where they still have

145
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,120
decent amount of value, but they're not

146
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,400
starting to fall apart so much need

147
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,800
maintenance.

148
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,479
>> Just a question or an answer about

149
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:36,479
driver's ed cars. We used to have a a

150
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:39,440
state uh grant that brought about

151
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,960
$60,000

152
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,960
uh annually and that grant was

153
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,000
eliminated. And so we would buy about

154
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,080
two cars and kind of replace the oldest

155
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,320
two. And so that would be kind of the

156
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,880
rotation. So now that that's gone, then

157
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,199
we're going to have to find a way to run

158
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:00,560
them, sell them, and use some general

159
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,950
funds to kind of help that.

160
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,230
12

161
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,759
13.

162
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:12,560
We're at 13.

163
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,160
>> Another thing about driver's ed vehicles

164
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,280
that they have some special equipment

165
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,000
inside them that about 10 to $15,000

166
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,560
extra for the passenger side brake and

167
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,680
things like that. There's other things

168
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,199
that go into those vehicles.

169
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:27,600
>> I mean, I I learned to drive without the

170
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,520
passenger side brake, but I'm sure most

171
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,400
today they appreciate it.

172
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,280
All right. Um, playground budget again,

173
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,080
4,000 five $500,000

174
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,759
total expenditures and most these are

175
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,390
onetime expenditures are $39 million.

176
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:57,120
» So, the high school,

177
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,639
>> we'll get to that. I have a slide for

178
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:02,070
that.

179
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,240
This is this is a we've not voted.

180
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,479
>> No, this is a proposal for us to

181
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:10,240
discuss.

182
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,560
>> Right.

183
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,830
>> Yes.

184
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,199
» I think when I met with you the Bear

185
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:20,240
Ridge High School improvements haven't

186
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,840
been fleshed out yet, so that wasn't on

187
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,840
there. That probably is new for you.

188
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,000
>> And that's the same for all of us.

189
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,029
>> Yeah.

190
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:30,960
So budgeted fund balances question mark

191
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,800
because we don't have a budget yet. When

192
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,240
we pass that budget in June, we'll have

193
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,960
a number there. Um estimated funding

194
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,280
balance based on this work here is $14

195
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,080
million. Remember we have $4.5 million

196
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,639
set aside for debt reserve. So really it

197
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:47,039
will be about $18 million.

198
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:48,400
Um I'm I'm pretty sure that's what we'll

199
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,160
end up at. I don't think we'll have to

200
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,390
have that debt reserve.

201
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840
So, our fund balance history in 2020, I

202
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,639
went back to there. $23.8 million is

203
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,520
what our fund balance was there. In 21

204
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,440
went to $31 million. What happened in

205
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,960
21?

206
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,759
We got a loan for Golden Spike. So, the

207
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,280
money got got deposited there. Um, so

208
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,800
that went up, but it's earmarked for

209
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,120
construction only. Then we built Golden

210
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,960
Spike and it went down to $17.5 million.

211
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,000
Golden Spike was a $15 million loan. The

212
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720
$25 million build when you factor in all

213
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,960
what we call FFN fixtures, furnishings,

214
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,319
and equipment that goes inside the

215
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:32,240
building. All your school lunch stuff,

216
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,719
all your desk, your chairs, computers,

217
00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:37,519
um furniture in the office, all that.

218
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:40,719
And that total bill was $25 million.

219
00:08:40,719 --> 00:08:43,039
So, we did about $10 million out of our

220
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,070
regular fund balance and 15 from alone.

221
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:58,470
» Any other questions?

222
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,480
uh West Treemont, we're we'll be about

223
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,920
nine years later by the time we start

224
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,440
construction.

225
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,920
So, great question. So, that cost to

226
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,640
build that school um as designed in 2017

227
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:18,720
was $17 million. No, it's 20 2021 when

228
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,600
>> Well, I'm okay. I

229
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,959
>> Yeah, I'm trying to compare Westmont to

230
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:25,519
Westmont then. Same building footprint,

231
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,920
$17 million. Today, same building

232
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,720
footprint, $ 35 to $40 million. We're

233
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,080
not done with engineering yet because

234
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,600
engineering standards change. So, it's a

235
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,040
little that's a wild card we have to

236
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,680
deal with there.

237
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,000
Any questions?

238
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,320
Okay.

239
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,519
So our low point was 2022 17.5. Then we

240
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:47,120
started building fund balance as we go

241
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760
through. Um

242
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,440
one of our bigger jumps right here was

243
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,839
due to there's a tax increase that was

244
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:58,959
passed by the board in 2023. So we have

245
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:01,760
a jump here about $4 million. There's a

246
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,200
bigger jump here. Um this mostly due to

247
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,640
construction projects that we that

248
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,240
didn't materialize and additional uh tax

249
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,160
funds mostly from our fee and loo and

250
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,640
other taxing our flat taxes that we get

251
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,240
that aren't part of the property tax

252
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,430
calculation.

253
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,800
So then we're going to end up

254
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,560
potentially

255
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,800
in end of this year end next year about

256
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,640
$14 million if we do all these projects.

257
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,399
really 18 million when you factor in the

258
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,160
debt service reserve, but I'm

259
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,680
forecasting for worst case scenario

260
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:40,310
here. You have any questions on this?

261
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,160
» Is there an amount we're supposed to

262
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160
have recommended amount?

263
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,279
>> There's not.

264
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:46,720
And that's been a question

265
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,920
amongst business administrators across

266
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,079
the state asking what is your

267
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:51,839
recommended policy? What is there a

268
00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:53,279
policy on your board for how much

269
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:56,160
percentage of cost you have in here? And

270
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,959
there's not because

271
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:01,600
districts are usually doing construction

272
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,160
or maintenance projects across the year

273
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,680
and their maintenance schedule or

274
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,680
construction schedule may vary. So when

275
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:10,800
you sell a bond or you borrow money, it

276
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,480
goes into this fund. So it may look like

277
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,959
a huge balance like we had in 21 $31

278
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:17,360
million, but half of that was earmarked

279
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,200
for construction.

280
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,839
So it's it's hard to have a recommended

281
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:23,279
ongoing fund balance in this fund

282
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,839
because of that. We could break out to a

283
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:27,680
different fund and sure we could have a

284
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,839
board target but there really isn't a

285
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:31,600
standard across the state for that

286
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,040
target because this all depends on your

287
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,320
facility and maintenance needs.

288
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,320
>> Yes. Clarification talk about the need

289
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,920
for

290
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
the 5%.

291
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,720
>> Oh yes

292
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,279
>> I don't know if that's part of it. Um

293
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:47,680
yeah so the general fund balance so

294
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,839
operational fund that's basically that's

295
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:52,079
what our mission is to teach kids all

296
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:53,760
the funds that support that called

297
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,600
operation or fund 10 fund 10

298
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,560
the targeted balance by the various

299
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,560
organizations that I belong to

300
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,040
government finance office association uh

301
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,639
gazsby government accounting standards

302
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,360
board and various Utah public treasures

303
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,000
association 25% of operational cost

304
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,480
should be saved in the reserve

305
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,519
That's essentially three months

306
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,320
operational cost. Yeah. So three months,

307
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,480
one quarter.

308
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,399
Uh that is consistent of what people

309
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:24,639
preach in personal finance. Have three

310
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,680
months of expenses saved. Uh for us

311
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,320
that's about $32 million.

312
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Uh we ended last year in the general

313
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,440
fund, not listed here, but in the

314
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,000
general fund about $28 million. Pretty

315
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,959
close to that target. Of that $28

316
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:41,360
million, some is earmarked for various

317
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,079
things. For example, we have $3.9

318
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:48,399
million and we call uh it's a a reserve

319
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,079
account the board selects and and funds

320
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:56,480
$3.9 million. The limit of that is 5% of

321
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,160
your expenditures. We have about 3.9% in

322
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,639
there. This year, if we want to as a

323
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:04,880
board, we can dedicate additional funds

324
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,440
to get to that max 5% in the operations

325
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,079
fund. Other things in there that are

326
00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:13,600
earmarked are uh funds for we call

327
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,079
retirement liabilities about $4.5

328
00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:18,560
million. There's additional funds for

329
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,880
other other dedicated projects such as

330
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,360
curriculum adoptions. We have dedicated

331
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,920
funds for personal uh development in

332
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,240
there. So we have various dedications,

333
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,720
but we have about $12 million in there

334
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,920
that's not earmarked for future

335
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,320
spending. That is just capital savings

336
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,000
for sorry operational savings for when

337
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,760
we have those needs because we know what

338
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,760
our state funding is going to be every

339
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,800
year. Our local funding kind of es and

340
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,320
flows

341
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,720
depending on the payment rate of taxes

342
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,880
in our county. Our county has about a

343
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,079
94% payment rate that's been coming down

344
00:13:54,079 --> 00:13:56,800
in recent years as high as 96. So that

345
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,480
affects how much local money we have

346
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,480
coming in. Also uh all our flat fees in L those up e and flow with the

347
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,440
economy we have a recession and we have

348
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,279
consumers not buying vehicles and

349
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:10,959
trailers and all those things that's

350
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:13,440
going to go down. So we have a fund

351
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,040
balance to take care of those

352
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,240
uncertainty in local tax flows. Also our

353
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,240
federal government at times cuts funding

354
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,680
or redistributes funding or we have

355
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,360
funding decline for different reasons.

356
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,399
For example, in title one, it's based on

357
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,120
poverty rates in our county. Those rates

358
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320
are declining. The 2020 census, our

359
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,199
poverty rate was 9% in our county. The

360
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:38,959
most recent census data came out on for

361
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:42,800
2024 year was 6%. So, we had 3% decline

362
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,279
in poverty rates in our county. That

363
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,639
equated to a $250,000 cut in Title One

364
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,000
funds. So we have these local savings to

365
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,519
account for those uncertainties that

366
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,600
happened throughout the over the years.

367
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,480
Uh questions.

368
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Okay.

369
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,509
Uh questions on fund balance history.

370
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,240
Okay.

371
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,519
Uh let's talk about our proposed

372
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,040
purchases. So we talked about district

373
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,560
vehicles. We're going to replace older

374
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,120
vehicles to reduce maintenance costs. Uh

375
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,560
school buses. Again, we're going to

376
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,279
replace 18 vehicles on a perox schedule.

377
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:24,079
Um, buses are a long lead item. We have

378
00:15:24,079 --> 00:15:27,920
some buses that we ordered in 2024

379
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,560
that have not been delivered yet.

380
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,040
We're still waiting on them.

381
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,639
So, that's why we have maintained this

382
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,160
budget here to periodically order buses

383
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,199
so we know when they come in, they're

384
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:41,120
available for use because they're not a common item. They're not like F-150s

385
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,279
that you build millions a year. They're

386
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:44,880
but not quite custom order, but it takes

387
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,959
a while. is only a few manufacturers,

388
00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:49,360
mostly Bluebird and International make

389
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,759
buses and so there's only two

390
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:54,320
manufacturers and it's it's a longer

391
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,949
time to get these buses

392
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:00,560
um secure vestable. So here's the detail

393
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,560
on that. Uh with Corey uh and DWA, our

394
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,560
construction manager, we estimated what

395
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,240
we're going to have to do, what we need

396
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,519
to So we need about uh 100,000 for Bay

397
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,120
River High School. We need about uh

398
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,240
$500,000 for Box Elder High School and

399
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,519
Box Elder Middle School. It's about $2

400
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:23,440
million because right now the office is

401
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,079
way down the hall. So to move that and

402
00:16:26,079 --> 00:16:27,759
pro and create additional space for

403
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:29,759
secure vestables in front will take some

404
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:34,079
funds. Um Corey is here to talk about

405
00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:35,839
this if we have questions on that for

406
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:44,949
Corey.

407
00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:47,440
Uh not for this state is the state

408
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,040
funding helping because they're

409
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:49,920
mandating.

410
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:58,150
>> No.

411
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,639
» And how long are we thinking that will

412
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,600
take? We well this if we approve these

413
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,640
projects that depends on the capacity of

414
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,959
local contractors we would have to go

415
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:10,559
through especially for the middle school

416
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:13,280
design process architects be involved

417
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,559
and go through that process. It's a

418
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:15,919
smaller design process but we still have

419
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:17,839
to go through that process. The deadline

420
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:20,880
for having these in place is 2034.

421
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,880
They gave us a long lead time notifying

422
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,079
hey we're not going to help you with

423
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,559
these construction costs. So please plan

424
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,039
on them. And so that's again part of our

425
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:30,320
capital balance is a plan for these

426
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,510
long-term construction projects.

427
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,960
» We would like to do it sooner than

428
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,919
later.

429
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:40,320
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. There are some safety

430
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,799
concerns that we like to address so not

431
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:44,000
everybody can just walk in the building

432
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:53,830
and not be noticed.

433
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,120
» Yes. Yes. But it is a

434
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,000
>> it is.

435
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,799
And this is uh I'm not sure what year

436
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:04,480
this building was designed to melt, but

437
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,720
I know it was decades ago that this was

438
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,720
not even a consideration.

439
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,039
My my son goes to Weber High and they

440
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,039
have the same problem. They you walk

441
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:14,480
into that school, they have a secure

442
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,720
vestible, but the office is way far away

443
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,880
and you walk into a giant courtyard that

444
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,120
spoken hub. So for them to secure it in

445
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,559
a meaningful way would be difficult as

446
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:24,480
well. So, we're not unique to the

447
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,640
problem that to comply with the law,

448
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,160
it's going to take significant amounts

449
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,789
of money.

450
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:35,679
Uh, oh, I can go back to this one here.

451
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:37,360
Sewer maintenance. Those are our

452
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,400
estimates. We don't based on a

453
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,320
historical cost and expenditures, for

454
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,960
example, the fix the lake view problems

455
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,840
about $120,000 this year. We don't know

456
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,200
what we're going to find. These are just

457
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,840
ballparks of what we think we might need

458
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320
and we'll know better about that um

459
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,880
probably closer to July. Cory,

460
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,600
>> hopefully it's just

461
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,520
>> okay.

462
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,240
Well, that's basically July.

463
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,990
>> Okay. July.

464
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,720
» Questions on the maintenance?

465
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,440
Yes.

466
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,000
>> Just that

467
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,520
>> is that like you in addition to what we

468
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,840
are expend.

469
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,679
>> Yes. So, we fixed the what was broken,

470
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:21,120
but we didn't fix what could break in

471
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,789
the future.

472
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:27,280
» Uh, air conditioning of the $5.1

473
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,240
million. Here's our breakdown.

474
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,240
Um, you can see Bear River High School

475
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,400
is the biggest cost. We have the

476
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,360
equipment. Um, I'm not We bought it

477
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:40,320
during the pandemic, but we didn't have

478
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,440
funds or or I wasn't here. I don't know

479
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,799
why we didn't install, but I know that

480
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:47,919
funding was an issue back then. And so

481
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:50,480
that's an estimate there and know we

482
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,919
haven't gotten very far on that one. So

483
00:19:51,919 --> 00:19:53,679
we're estimating about $5.1 million for

484
00:19:53,679 --> 00:19:56,240
all these projects. Caveat is we don't

485
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,760
have to dedicate all these funds in this

486
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,720
year. We have we can have some timeline

487
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,080
to do that, but that would be a priority

488
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,400
the board establishes.

489
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,549
>> This year we already

490
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,080
the current one we're in. We decide we

491
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,919
dedicated 1.5. This is in addition to

492
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:15,510
that 1.5.

493
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,360
So really that 1.5 will roll over to

494
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,320
this year because we're not going to get

495
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,720
it done this year. So that 1.5 will come

496
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,520
back into the fund balance.

497
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,960
It's not part of this.

498
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,320
>> And when we approve that, we just

499
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,200
decided we take a chunk that line item

500
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,400
when we approve that

501
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,600
one or two.

502
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,120
>> Yep. Yep.

503
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,919
>> The 1.5 was only for the middle school

504
00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:40,000
at the time for this year. These are

505
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,990
additions to those.

506
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,159
Yes, this but this is a need here that

507
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:47,360
we're going to earmark for those things

508
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:49,280
and we'll keep on rolling that forward

509
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,960
according to the board priorities of

510
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,799
when which schools to prioritize and

511
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:57,510
when to do those schools.

512
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,720
Uh playground upgrades $500,000. Here's

513
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,799
a rationale. Replace older playgrounds

514
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:05,360
that pose a safety hazard. Time to time

515
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:06,799
students get injured when a playground

516
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,000
fails. Um broken bones sometimes we want

517
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,159
to prevent that. They're very old in

518
00:21:12,159 --> 00:21:13,760
some places. They're not big enough.

519
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,880
They're antic spaces. We know we have an

520
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,080
overcrowding issue in a lot of

521
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,480
elementary schools. And contributing to

522
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,000
that is our playgrounds don't have

523
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,679
enough space for kids to spread out and

524
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:25,919
it creates behavior and other incidences

525
00:21:25,919 --> 00:21:28,240
where if we expand our playground spaces

526
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,000
and put newer, more modern playgrounds

527
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,440
in there that hopefully will alleviate

528
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,960
some of those issues. But with the new

529
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,960
playgrounds, do we just on wood chips or

530
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,000
are we getting like the

531
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,360
>> pour in place?

532
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:43,200
>> Does that mean the rubber thingy?

533
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,320
>> Yes.

534
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,240
That is this new standard for

535
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,120
schools.

536
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,640
>> Heidi, do you have something to add to

537
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200
that?

538
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,799
Did a really great job of summarizing

539
00:21:52,799 --> 00:22:00,390
it.

540
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,720
Okay, we do have 250,000.

541
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,320
>> Is your mic on? I think your mic's off.

542
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:06,480
I

543
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,200
>> think we have 250,000 in the budget

544
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,520
annually for ADA playgrounds. So, we are

545
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,919
working through that. Really good news

546
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:16,080
to hear. There's 500,000 for this summer

547
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,080
to get started on projects because there

548
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,159
is a major discrepancy between the

549
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:23,200
playground spaces that we have available

550
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,600
um the year and the quality and just the

551
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,360
availability of space to play at North

552
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,200
Park and McKinley when you compare it to

553
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,840
Sentry or Discovery or Hton Spike or

554
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,320
Garland. Many of our elementary schools

555
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,200
have a separate play space for our our

556
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,799
younger elementary students and our

557
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:40,320
upper elementary students. And in

558
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,440
addition to that, some of our

559
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,919
playgrounds also have a kindergarten

560
00:22:43,919 --> 00:22:45,520
preschool playground and an ADA

561
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,679
playground. At both McKinley and North

562
00:22:47,679 --> 00:22:50,480
Park, there's genuinely one little

563
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,000
playground that's smaller than the

564
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,760
center of this space that all 650 kids

565
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,000
get on at one time. And those are really

566
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,799
outdated and old. So that's the initial

567
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,520
intent here is to begin with those two

568
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,320
playgrounds and update and expand

569
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,919
increase so that we have less of those

570
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:10,000
safety hazards to repair some of the

571
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,799
broken stuff. Um make it so that they

572
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:15,760
have a space to separate the K2 and 35

573
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
students. That's something we've heard

574
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,640
many many concerns about and

575
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,320
frustrations from our school community

576
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,159
councils and parent communities in both

577
00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:25,919
of those areas over the last three to

578
00:23:25,919 --> 00:23:28,400
four years. So, I think that it's

579
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,600
something that they've really been

580
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,600
pushing for and promoting. This next

581
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,080
year, the ADA playground is being

582
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,880
allocated to um Century Elementary

583
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,440
um because they hold ESY there and they

584
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,960
have functional skills. We've been

585
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,520
alternating north and south end. We're

586
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080
considering the next one going in that

587
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,470
you learn based off of me.

588
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,080
» They'll be started this summer. It

589
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,600
sounds like they won't be able to be

590
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,950
done, right?

591
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,000
» For the ADA of 500 or in addition to

592
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,640
500.

593
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,760
>> Neil's saying in addition,

594
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,760
>> in addition, we wrote a new line item. I

595
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,440
want to say in March or February, I

596
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,120
can't remember which month. We have too

597
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,000
much fun together.

598
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,720
>> When we do 250,000, if we split up

599
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,559
between the two playgrounds and then the

600
00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:21,200
board in place itself is about 60,000,

601
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,080
that would leave like 60,000 worth of

602
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,520
equipment. And that is not very much.

603
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,559
It's like one climb on object without

604
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:34,000
slides or space. So 250 between the two

605
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,679
schools just would not provide them with

606
00:24:35,679 --> 00:24:37,520
very much. Yeah. I just wanted like the

607
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,960
context for me. I was like, "Oh,

608
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,360
$250,000 state-of-the-art playground."

609
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,200
But it's it's really not. And when you

610
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,480
split it between two schools and the

611
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,279
pour in place is really an upfront

612
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:49,679
expense for the safety.

613
00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:52,720
I think for context, the Discovery the

614
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,039
new playground at Discovery Elementary

615
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:59,200
ADA compliant is about $165,000.

616
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,080
They're expensive. They're needed and we

617
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,919
need to make them safe and have adequate

618
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:05,279
space for all our students because

619
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:06,559
recess is a really important part of the

620
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:15,269
elementary experience.

621
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:23,669
an explanation.

622
00:25:23,679 --> 00:25:27,360
» So the poor in place, we have a member

623
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:28,720
on his way and I want to let him know

624
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,039
that he can still come. It's clay is on

625
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:34,640
his way. The poor in place is a risk

626
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,360
issue. It prevents a lot of injuries,

627
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:39,360
serious injuries from falls. The wood

628
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:42,080
chips in the winter time they freeze and

629
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,760
they're hard as rock and they fall and

630
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,080
they hurt people. They often maintained

631
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,120
uh on a regular basis. Astro turf or the

632
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,320
turf artificial turf it sometimes gets

633
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,000
wear patterns and wears out fast and has

634
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,159
to be reconditioned. Pour in place

635
00:25:56,159 --> 00:25:57,840
really is the most cost effective at

636
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,760
reducing um uh injuries and being

637
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:12,310
longlasting.

638
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,149
other questions on playgrounds.

639
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:20,470
Okay.

640
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,159
Uh Boxeller High School.

641
00:26:24,159 --> 00:26:27,120
Um actually, let's skip this for now cuz

642
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,240
Clay Tus, vice principal of Box High, is

643
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,919
on his way.

644
00:26:31,919 --> 00:26:34,240
>> Sorry, Bear River High. I'm sorry. Uh so

645
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,240
let's skip these right here. Let's go to

646
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,830
the elementary.

647
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,279
All right. So, construction plans

648
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:46,720
discover expansion 12 classrooms,

649
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,400
eight are general ed classrooms. These

650
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,919
will eliminate the two portables that we

651
00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:52,159
already have there. Um, we have a

652
00:26:52,159 --> 00:26:54,320
preschool and we have special space as

653
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,190
well. Is that accurate, Cory?

654
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,269
» Okay.

655
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:05,520
» Oh, sorry. Net eight, but net of eight

656
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,960
when we take in the portables.

657
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:07,679
>> Yes.

658
00:27:07,679 --> 00:27:09,760
>> Okay. So, 10 general classrooms,

659
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,840
preschool classrooms, special ed

660
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,960
classrooms. We're going to take some of

661
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,559
our special ed students from other

662
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,880
locations that are have a high burden

663
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,520
for special ed, move them over to the

664
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,919
Discovery Elementary to spread out that

665
00:27:21,919 --> 00:27:24,000
population and allow students to attend

666
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,600
closer to the neighborhood schools where

667
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,360
possible.

668
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:28,880
Um, we're going to add additional gym

669
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,159
space because you can't have eat lunch

670
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:34,480
and have gym at the same time. And so we

671
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,000
don't have enough space for that. And so

672
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,520
we're adding additional gym space for

673
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,520
that purpose. So we can separate our

674
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,320
lunchtime from our PE time at and have

675
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,559
them run at the same time.

676
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:46,799
Um additional playground area as well.

677
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,240
We're going to have a playground area go

678
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,039
to the north into the field right there.

679
00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:52,240
Not the whole field, but a portion of

680
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,640
Davis Park will become play space for

681
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,240
these students. again with our our um

682
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,399
our aim to increase play spaces, have

683
00:28:00,399 --> 00:28:01,840
adequate spaces for students and

684
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,159
adequate playground uh equipment ADA

685
00:28:04,159 --> 00:28:06,000
compliant for those students that need

686
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,600
that. Um this will add between 180 to

687
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,919
200,000 students. Sorry, not thousand

688
00:28:11,919 --> 00:28:16,159
200 students 180 to 200 students

689
00:28:16,159 --> 00:28:18,960
um total capacity questions on

690
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600
discovery.

691
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,279
Uh not listed here is we're air

692
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,039
conditioning the building. So, as part

693
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,399
of this project, the old part of the

694
00:28:26,399 --> 00:28:27,520
building will receive air conditioning

695
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,200
as long as well as the new part.

696
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Um, cost is about $15 million total

697
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,080
cost. Yes,

698
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:44,159
>> I remember being in there with like the

699
00:28:44,159 --> 00:28:48,159
questions about um updating the

700
00:28:48,159 --> 00:28:50,159
>> controls,

701
00:28:50,159 --> 00:28:53,440
>> fire alarm. Yes. Fire, fire and air

702
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000
conditioner controls. Yes.

703
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,840
>> Yeah.

704
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Uh, one thing we didn't see coming when

705
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,240
we designed this building, um, this

706
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,840
building doesn't have fire sprinklers in

707
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,480
it. It wasn't required in 1994 when it

708
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,559
was built, now required. So, we're going

709
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,080
to have to have fire protection in the

710
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,159
new building and the old building. So,

711
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:12,960
we're going to have to sprinkle the

712
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,000
whole building. So, that's additional

713
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,080
cost that we weren't con considering

714
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,840
when we started the design process and

715
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,559
RFP process.

716
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:21,760
So we'll bring the whole thing up to

717
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,360
standards including secure vegetables as

718
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,520
well.

719
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,679
Uh West Traymon I think we're about 30

720
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:40,710
classrooms. Cory is that

721
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,640
» compare?

722
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,799
So, Golden Spike Elementary is 104,000

723
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:48,799
square ft

724
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:51,200
and this Fremont Elementary would be

725
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,960
85,000 square ft. So, it's about 20,000

726
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,200
square ft smaller. Um, we are about 34

727
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,440
classrooms.

728
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,880
Um, it's one story.

729
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,600
We we have done modifications to the

730
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,240
2017 design so that it is more suitable

731
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,919
for

732
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:17,120
um some of our populations that need

733
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,679
special accommodations

734
00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:22,320
and as I think I mentioned before also

735
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,760
additional office spaces for admin and

736
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,399
counseling.

737
00:30:28,399 --> 00:30:31,039
Garland is approximately

738
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:33,120
73,000

739
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,200
square feet, I think. So, it's about

740
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,880
10,000 square feet bigger. And back to

741
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,799
Discovery,

742
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:44,000
that addition is 28,000 square ft. The

743
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,360
current building is 53,000 ft. So, it's

744
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,679
going to put Discovery square footage

745
00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:52,320
somewhere between

746
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:57,039
the um Garland North

747
00:30:57,039 --> 00:30:59,279
about 85,000.

748
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:03,110
>> Where's our math teachers?

749
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:21,190
» Somewhere around 80,000.

750
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,000
the middle core or the middle common

751
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,559
areas that they use for

752
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:29,200
support staff that is not counted as a

753
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,960
classroom.

754
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,919
>> So in these 34 classrooms there's also

755
00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:36,640
support space uh there's conference room

756
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,399
space there's instructional training

757
00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:40,080
space. So, we're just talking about

758
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,360
actual student instructional spaces in

759
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,200
that 34 number.

760
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,120
>> Um, one of the things too I just want to

761
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,960
point out with Golden Spike versus

762
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Tmont. Golden Spike will have more

763
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,600
seating for students in the cafeteria.

764
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,600
We'll have more gym seating. So, Golden

765
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,320
Spike is 259 students per cafeteria.

766
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,799
Tmont is 281. The dining or the gym is

767
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:05,519
490 seats at Golden Spike, but at Tmont

768
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:08,960
it will be 624. And then the medium shel

769
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,840
is bigger because we just realized that doesn't work for the number of

770
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,399
students. So those common areas are

771
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:18,159
going to be bigger to accommodate the

772
00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:21,440
size of the school.

773
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,519
And if you've been in Golden Spike

774
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:25,760
Elementary

775
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,640
and you've been in the Garland Fielding

776
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,279
through Mount Creek Design,

777
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:34,159
this West Tmont Elementary really is a

778
00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:37,120
blend of those two as far as the

779
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,919
classroom wings are, how they function,

780
00:32:39,919 --> 00:32:43,120
and where the gym cafeteria

781
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,000
is kind of connected. It's kind of a

782
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,070
blend of those two designs.

783
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,039
Other questions on West Trmont on the

784
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:55,600
building design timeline, anything like

785
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,630
that?

786
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:04,549
Okay,

787
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:06,000
let's talk about the the construction

788
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,399
loan here. So, we have three uh banks

789
00:33:10,399 --> 00:33:12,240
that are helping us out here and we have

790
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,679
three because we need separation of

791
00:33:13,679 --> 00:33:15,279
duties.

792
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:18,240
So, Zans is our municipal adviser. Uh we

793
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,840
have a contract with them for them to

794
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,399
advise us on these types of scenarios,

795
00:33:22,399 --> 00:33:26,480
borrowings, uh loans, financing. uh they

796
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360
provide the financing detail every year

797
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,080
for our loans. They're actually the

798
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,279
trustee on our loan for Golden Spike and

799
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:38,240
also our uh general obligation loan as

800
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,039
well because they are advisor. They

801
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:43,600
can't be that's new in the past two

802
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,519
years. We signed a contract with them.

803
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:48,480
So when they loaned us funds for Golden

804
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,880
Spike, they are not our adviser. So they

805
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,399
cannot issue us a loan because that'll

806
00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:54,799
be a conflict of interest as an adviser.

807
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:58,240
So they're advising us on this. Bank of

808
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,640
America is our underwriter. In an

809
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,919
advisory capacity, Zans um put out a

810
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:05,440
solicitation

811
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,280
to various underwriters, other banks for

812
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,359
this project. Um there were three that

813
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:15,119
responded. Um

814
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:18,079
Bank of America gave us the best terms

815
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:19,839
between the underwriting, the bond

816
00:34:19,839 --> 00:34:23,359
council fees, and we call the spread. So

817
00:34:23,359 --> 00:34:26,480
spread is the distance between the a the

818
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,599
average market rates called MMD,

819
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:32,639
municipal market data and that is

820
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:34,879
calculated every day on every loan out

821
00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:38,639
on government debt. Uh mostly state and

822
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,800
local government debt.

823
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,679
And so their number of basis points they

824
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,919
wanted to cover the cost of this loan.

825
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:49,040
Underwriting legal fees was the lowest

826
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,800
amongst the three people who responded,

827
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,800
three banks who responded to this loan.

828
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,879
So they are the winner on basis of a

829
00:34:54,879 --> 00:34:59,359
cost. The Zans Bank also analyzed uh

830
00:34:59,359 --> 00:35:02,160
past performance experience with um

831
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,440
school financing uh deals in the past

832
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,040
and determined that Bank of America in

833
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,440
addition to the cost was the most

834
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,200
experienced and provide us the best

835
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,720
experience for securing this loan.

836
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:17,680
uh US Bank will be our trustee

837
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,240
because uh Zans can't be the trustee and

838
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,520
when you borrow usually have a third

839
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,440
party that's not the same party doing

840
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,960
the lending as the trustee to receive

841
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,920
the funds and distribute the funds. So

842
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,109
they'll be our trustee on this deal

843
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:34,800
uh the underwriting and the trustee

844
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,280
part.

845
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,910
>> Okay. So the underwriter

846
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,079
» separation of duties, separation of

847
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:47,589
conflict of interest.

848
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:50,960
» Okay. So Z is our adviser.

849
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,440
>> So they're like our I I'll compare us to

850
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,359
a mortgage loan. They're our loan our

851
00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:57,920
mortgage officer. Now, when you go get a

852
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,240
mortgage, you generally they have,

853
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:03,839
unless you buy from a in-house bank like

854
00:36:03,839 --> 00:36:06,160
Wells Fargo, Right Mortgages, but you go

855
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,760
to an independent mortgage officer, they

856
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,040
get mortgages from various different um

857
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,160
banks. And so, Bank of America is our

858
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,000
mortgage officer. They're going to look

859
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,520
at our financials. They're going to look

860
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,440
at our credit rating. They're going to

861
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,440
assess our creditworthiness. They're

862
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,560
going to say, "Based on this, here's

863
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,240
your risk and here's what we can get you

864
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:25,839
in the market." So they're going to

865
00:36:25,839 --> 00:36:29,359
guarantee us a certain amount of yield

866
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:32,480
or proceeds from this loan.

867
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,119
If and so that's that's where they're

868
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:38,240
coming from. US Bank is a trustee. So

869
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,240
back to mortgages,

870
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:42,160
generally the person the bank that you

871
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,480
borrow your mortgage from is not who you

872
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,640
pay your mortgage to. The third party

873
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,359
serer. So US Bank is the third party

874
00:36:49,359 --> 00:36:51,440
serer. They'll collect the funds and

875
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,200
distribute the funds and ensure

876
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,440
compliance with the loan requirements

877
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,440
and also with any federal or state

878
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,440
reporting requirements as well.

879
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,800
Currently, Zans acts as the trustee for

880
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,599
our golden spike loan and also for our

881
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:09,200
general obligation bond loan.

882
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,280
>> Which one?

883
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,430
>> Bank of America.

884
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,040
» And we chose them based on experience

885
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,829
and on total cost.

886
00:37:23,839 --> 00:37:29,430
Yes, Stephanie.

887
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,280
» Um, I just curious the 4.44%

888
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,079
interest,

889
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:34,640
>> correct?

890
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,480
>> That's that's the rate we're getting for

891
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,079
this loan.

892
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:40,560
>> Well, this is quoted on April 1 or about

893
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:41,440
April 1st.

894
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,599
>> The quoted amount. How how does that

895
00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:46,079
compare to the loan that we could have

896
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:49,280
had had it not been

897
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,640
Great question.

898
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,359
>> It's probably about the same because the

899
00:37:53,359 --> 00:37:55,280
middle of February is when that process

900
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,160
stopped. We still had a series of

901
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,800
meetings to hold legally before we could

902
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,800
have went out for the loan. We would

903
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,480
have been seeking the same that dollar

904
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,400
amount at this same time right now.

905
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,000
Probably probably in the month of May is

906
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,920
when we would have sold bonds and we

907
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,960
probably would have been at the same

908
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,280
cost. So it it's not the interest rate

909
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,920
that we would have had this time would

910
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,680
not have any different because the time

911
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,320
we started that process in December, we

912
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,920
had zero idea there's going to be a war

913
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,520
in the Middle East. And that's what's

914
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,160
driving interest rates up right now is

915
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:33,910
the war in the Middle East.

916
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,280
» So we have these three banks. Yes.

917
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,760
Involved banks. uh this right here this

918
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,839
interest cost is total interest cost

919
00:38:43,839 --> 00:38:46,320
incurred. So what they they do in

920
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,079
accounting terms they amateurize or

921
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,640
spread off the the cost of issuing the

922
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,680
this loan legal fees uh underwriting

923
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,079
fees credit check fees

924
00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:58,960
across the whole loan term and so the

925
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,920
fees are included in here. All three

926
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,800
banks are included.

927
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,069
>> Correct.

928
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:10,160
» All three are included in the 4.4

929
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,280
interest and in the 4.4 million annual

930
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:13,839
payment.

931
00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:16,400
>> Correct.

932
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,440
>> Is there a way to break them out so we

933
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:19,760
know?

934
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,760
>> Yes. I didn't display that here, but the

935
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,320
total the cost of issuing this loan are

936
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,160
about uh $170,000.

937
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,320
legal costs, underwriting costs, credit

938
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,040
check costs, cost of going to of of

939
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,440
doing all the research. That's what

940
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,599
those costs are. And those are spread

941
00:39:37,599 --> 00:39:38,800
across the life of the loan. We call

942
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,760
them amortized costs. So, we issue a

943
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,440
certain amount to each period of the

944
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,640
loan in each year. So, they get their

945
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,079
money up front, but we pay it back

946
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:49,680
overtime.

947
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,520
And that's the that's the requirement of

948
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,200
the underwriter. The underwriter pays

949
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,880
all those fees up front for us, and they

950
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,839
get their money overtime back. Other

951
00:39:59,839 --> 00:40:03,040
questions on this process?

952
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,320
>> So, how does this differ from what we

953
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,390
were looking at?

954
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,320
» Uh, it's not a bond and bond rates have

955
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,920
better slightly better interest rates.

956
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,839
It used to be between a general

957
00:40:17,839 --> 00:40:20,960
obligation bond and this type of loan,

958
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,560
there would have been a half percentage

959
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,280
point difference or 50 basis points.

960
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:31,440
that is narrowed to 25 to 30. So the the incentive to seek a general

961
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,880
obligation bond and all that process

962
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,200
goes with it is kind of out the window

963
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,520
because a lot more compliance costs and

964
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,520
timeline to get this type get a general

965
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,240
obligation loan. where this right here

966
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:44,079
can be done much quicker and the

967
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:45,920
additional cost for the risk the banks

968
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,440
incur is much less because a general

969
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,839
obligation is a guaranteed amount

970
00:40:51,839 --> 00:40:54,400
secured by property taxes earmarked only

971
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,640
to repayment of that loan through the

972
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,880
collection of property taxes

973
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,560
underwriters and banks see that as the

974
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,359
most secure form of government debt

975
00:41:03,359 --> 00:41:05,839
because earmark for that and can only be

976
00:41:05,839 --> 00:41:08,160
used for that purpose. This is being

977
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,599
funded by general property tax receipts.

978
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,839
There's not a specific area earmark for

979
00:41:13,839 --> 00:41:16,400
that. So they view that as more risky.

980
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,480
Essentially, if we wanted to, we could

981
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,119
not pay this back and keep our money.

982
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:23,520
And so that's why they have a higher

983
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,079
interest rate to account for that risk.

984
00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:27,839
It's kind of like getting a home equity

985
00:41:27,839 --> 00:41:31,200
loan versus a first mortgage. Your first

986
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,440
mortgage is always first repayment and

987
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,960
has a lower interest rate than a home

988
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,030
equity loan.

989
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,359
So the general obligation fund is that

990
00:41:41,359 --> 00:41:44,319
the same as the lease revenue fund? No.

991
00:41:44,319 --> 00:41:46,560
So how is this different from the least

992
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,000
revenue fund?

993
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,079
>> Uh this is a direct lending product to

994
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:51,920
us. Uh doesn't go through the lease

995
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,319
revenue process. It doesn't have the

996
00:41:54,319 --> 00:41:56,000
same resolutions. It's not a separate

997
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480
legal entity. In this case, the building

998
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,000
authority for lease revenue bond that

999
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,560
takes it out. So this is a a direct loan

1000
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,920
product.

1001
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,000
So really the difference in the is in

1002
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,560
the legal details of how it's secured

1003
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:18,870
and what is allowed

1004
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,200
as far as how it affects us. There's not

1005
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,160
much difference. I mean there might be a

1006
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,839
talking basis points. So each basis

1007
00:42:25,839 --> 00:42:28,480
point is 01%.

1008
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,319
So there might be five to seven basis

1009
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:32,319
points difference between this and a

1010
00:42:32,319 --> 00:42:34,800
lease revenue bond. Again, a lease

1011
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,920
revenue bond doesn't have a dedicated

1012
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,839
funding stream because it's not

1013
00:42:37,839 --> 00:42:39,280
generally not voted and approved by the

1014
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,800
taxpayers for a separate myab on your

1015
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,200
taxes. It's funded out of existing tax

1016
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,390
receipts.

1017
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,359
» So with this route, who actually owns

1018
00:42:49,359 --> 00:42:53,359
the buildings? It will there will be we

1019
00:42:53,359 --> 00:42:54,560
essentially it will be like a lease

1020
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,240
revenue where there's a entitlement to

1021
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:02,240
the underwriter Bank of America that we

1022
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:04,000
lease back from them till the loans paid

1023
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,520
off. It's the same thing with Golden

1024
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,359
Spike. Golden Spike is a is a ground

1025
00:43:07,359 --> 00:43:11,119
lease from Zans and that the we make

1026
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:13,839
lease payments to Zans. They hold title

1027
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:16,640
to it. No different than when you buy a

1028
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,720
car dealership with a loan. the

1029
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:20,640
dealership has a lean on that title. You

1030
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,839
can't sell that that car until your lean

1031
00:43:23,839 --> 00:43:26,720
or your loan is satisfied. So, this is

1032
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:29,920
no different that we already operate.

1033
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,040
>> How many buildings the past 10 years

1034
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,160
have built using this finance option?

1035
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,319
>> Um,

1036
00:43:38,319 --> 00:43:42,720
Golden Spike and

1037
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,960
>> Fielding are the two ones that I'm that

1038
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,079
I know right now that we have

1039
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:48,319
outstanding. Those are two outstanding

1040
00:43:48,319 --> 00:43:50,400
debt right now. So, general obligation

1041
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,160
bond, which is we used to expand high

1042
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,240
schools back in 2008, is one of our

1043
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:56,640
loans, and that was a 30-year loan. Um,

1044
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,480
Fielding was also, I think, a 20-year

1045
00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:59,599
loan. We're going to pay that off this

1046
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:01,359
year. Last payment is this year. And

1047
00:44:01,359 --> 00:44:04,720
then Golden Spike as well.

1048
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:08,079
>> Like, elementary, Sunrise High School,

1049
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:09,599
>> those were all fun with existing build

1050
00:44:09,599 --> 00:44:11,599
uh capital reserves.

1051
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:13,200
>> The difference between that is the cost

1052
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,200
of building was much less than it is

1053
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,510
today. Other

1054
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,589
questions?

1055
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:27,520
» Um, I guess my question is this.

1056
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,440
When we

1057
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,560
um received a petition um of 8,000

1058
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,240
people asking us not to go out and do

1059
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:38,560
this kind of a loan.

1060
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,160
To me it looks like that this is

1061
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,800
the same kind of kind of a finance

1062
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,119
vehicle kind of like a horse of a

1063
00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:49,440
different color. So what are we

1064
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,319
interpreting that the people ask us with

1065
00:44:52,319 --> 00:44:55,760
that petition?

1066
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,640
>> I would say from my perspective as the

1067
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,560
business administrator and financial

1068
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,880
adviser of the board if you will the

1069
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,280
difference here is the amount and the

1070
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,960
projects.

1071
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,040
Um leader I would say the district

1072
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,839
leadership feels that these elementary

1073
00:45:11,839 --> 00:45:14,400
projects are a must need now given the

1074
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,000
growth we've seen from our demographer

1075
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,920
that's forecasted given the building uh

1076
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,839
developments we know are coming and

1077
00:45:21,839 --> 00:45:23,280
given the overcrowding we have in our

1078
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,440
current buildings right now don't feel

1079
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,200
like we are at a luxury of waiting an

1080
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,040
additional 18 months or more to secure

1081
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,680
financing by putting on the ballot begin

1082
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,599
construction we feel this is a need that

1083
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:40,000
we must address now, not in 18 months.

1084
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,920
So that's I say that's the rationale for

1085
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,400
proposing this and going forward with

1086
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:45,280
this.

1087
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,680
>> I see that the rationale and and I'm not

1088
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,520
saying I disagree. I'm asking

1089
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,480
specifically the financing vehicle part

1090
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,200
of it.

1091
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,359
Oh, it looks like we're we're going out

1092
00:45:59,359 --> 00:46:01,280
to get financing, which I think the

1093
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,319
petition was asking us not to encumber

1094
00:46:04,319 --> 00:46:06,079
the residents with that kind of a

1095
00:46:06,079 --> 00:46:08,720
long-term debt.

1096
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:11,520
We're going out with another horse of a

1097
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,920
different color to encumber the

1098
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,880
residents. Again, we're not encumbering

1099
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,119
the residents for any additional funds

1100
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:20,640
that aren't already secured by local

1101
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,480
property taxes. This is within our local

1102
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,880
property tax budget. I understand that

1103
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,920
there's a public uh opposition to our

1104
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,400
financing. I feel that we have that what

1105
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,560
we were seeking before actually not have

1106
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,440
almost a third 55 million versus 140

1107
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,680
million and red restricted it to

1108
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,839
elementary projects only which has been

1109
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:43,520
a concern of the residents that has

1110
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,520
expressed to us through the different

1111
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,560
surveys we did and community feedback.

1112
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,160
So yes, it's a different financing

1113
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,560
different different color, but it's it's

1114
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,520
done to address the needs we have right

1115
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,200
now.

1116
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,480
So, would it be possible to um again go

1117
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:09,359
back to the residents and ask them in a

1118
00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:12,160
voted question, I guess, if they would

1119
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,400
support these projects and do it with a

1120
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,680
general obligation bond, which puts the

1121
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,720
power back in the residents rather than

1122
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:24,640
us going forward with these. I'm not

1123
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,480
saying that the projects aren't needed.

1124
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,079
My question is only the funding

1125
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:29,599
mechanism.

1126
00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:34,720
Um I I just feel like that although we

1127
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:38,640
feel that they're needed, um

1128
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,960
we are I think legally required to

1129
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,560
represent the residents and I think

1130
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,240
they've told us in a couple of different

1131
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:50,160
ways that they don't want this kind of

1132
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,880
obligation. So I'm just wondering if we

1133
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,319
might be

1134
00:47:54,319 --> 00:47:56,240
stepping over a line that we are

1135
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,119
supposed to represent them first.

1136
00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:00,880
>> So I will answer it in a few different

1137
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,240
ways. First of all,

1138
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:06,079
>> the first question is could we go to a

1139
00:48:06,079 --> 00:48:08,880
voted question on these projects and

1140
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,440
this amount and a and a geo bond

1141
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,520
government bond is possible by the vote

1142
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,599
of the board in by August to approve a

1143
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:21,520
ballot question for the financing of

1144
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,440
these projects. That is an option the

1145
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,640
board has. By doing so, the soonest that

1146
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,680
we would have the go-ahad from the

1147
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,240
voters would be in November. And then

1148
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,880
we' go through that process again if

1149
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,359
it's through a lease revenue process to

1150
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:41,200
start the resolutions again. We have our

1151
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,920
we really have like close to 90 days of

1152
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,400
legal requirements to be able to start

1153
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,400
that lease revenue bond process again.

1154
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,119
So that puts us into February before we

1155
00:48:51,119 --> 00:48:53,760
can even go out for the loan and go

1156
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,920
through the underwriting process. We

1157
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,839
probably wouldn't have funds until this

1158
00:48:57,839 --> 00:48:59,599
time next year going through that

1159
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:02,630
process.

1160
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,240
» General obligation bond will be an

1161
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:08,079
additional not

1162
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:09,680
>> Yeah, that's what I wanted to say was

1163
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,720
you said general obligation bond. So, in

1164
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,480
order to pay for that, it would have to

1165
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,119
be an additional tax

1166
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:22,000
um a lease revenue bond, which was um

1167
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,920
which failed or you know, they had the

1168
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:28,079
signature stop that. And so, anyway,

1169
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:29,599
>> yeah, I'm sorry. I should have said in

1170
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:32,240
that formula that we could roll back the

1171
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:36,079
taxes, roll back the taxes.

1172
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:37,920
You know, we've heard you a couple of

1173
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,960
different times that this isn't what you

1174
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,680
wanted. We feel like that this is what

1175
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,839
we've heard that you do want because you

1176
00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:48,880
mentioned the surveys as

1177
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,480
this something that you would support

1178
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,800
financially. This is what we think that

1179
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,000
we heard you different but this is would

1180
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,960
you support a geo bond financial

1181
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,319
mechanism? So in addition to what I just

1182
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:06,230
go ahead

1183
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:09,040
» I think everybody understands that yes

1184
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,000
that could happen that that question of

1185
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,359
course it could it would just it would

1186
00:50:13,359 --> 00:50:17,040
take the board to vote to do that right.

1187
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,839
So if it was a clarifying I mean we all

1188
00:50:19,839 --> 00:50:22,000
know that of course that is an option

1189
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,520
but it would take the board to vote to

1190
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,240
do that.

1191
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:28,720
>> I might just go I I might add a couple

1192
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:31,599
things. So when we start talking about

1193
00:50:31,599 --> 00:50:34,720
and I agree if we want to do a a survey

1194
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:36,880
about that question certainly if the

1195
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,359
board wants to do that uh I think one

1196
00:50:39,359 --> 00:50:43,040
thing that we need to note is that you

1197
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,960
know there's a lot of things from the uh

1198
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,960
2024 bond that changed. Uh there's a lot

1199
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,240
of things that based on that feedback we

1200
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:57,040
changed for the lease revenue bond

1201
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,680
option and what we're hearing and I hope

1202
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,400
that as you saw the presentation we're

1203
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,040
investing in Lake View North Park

1204
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,680
Middle.

1205
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,680
We have to extend the life of these

1206
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,559
buildings. You can also see the grades 6

1207
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:19,040
through 8 92 is off the table. Now

1208
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,800
whether it ever goes back on the table,

1209
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,960
I do believe that that would be a vote

1210
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,359
of the people through a survey to say,

1211
00:51:25,359 --> 00:51:28,800
is that something you want to pursue?

1212
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,079
But the immediate need uh as we're all

1213
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:34,480
hearing and as you look at the

1214
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,079
elementary

1215
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:39,040
uh portables that keep coming

1216
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,280
um there is a need there and all other

1217
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:47,680
things have been put to the to the

1218
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,000
wayside for now and whenever that

1219
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,880
happens whenever there's an appetite I

1220
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,000
think we look at that but having a

1221
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,800
secure vestable at our three largest

1222
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,640
schools is a priority. Uh having AC in

1223
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,559
Bear River Middle a priority. Some may

1224
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:05,920
say, well, why are you putting AC in a

1225
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,000
building? Well, because right now

1226
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,720
there's not a mechanism

1227
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:14,480
to secure a loan. But to Karen's point,

1228
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,640
if there needed to be a situation where

1229
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,359
we said, you know, we're going to roll

1230
00:52:19,359 --> 00:52:21,359
back and we're going to go for a

1231
00:52:21,359 --> 00:52:25,200
geobond, are you okay with, you know,

1232
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,960
these two projects that influence

1233
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,839
roughly a population of 600 students and

1234
00:52:33,839 --> 00:52:36,960
800 students? Um, so not a significant

1235
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:38,800
amount of our students are going to be

1236
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,240
affected by these two projects. if we go

1237
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,640
out to a general obligation bond. So,

1238
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,359
that would be interesting to see if the

1239
00:52:47,359 --> 00:52:49,839
people would vote for that if it didn't

1240
00:52:49,839 --> 00:52:52,480
affect Bear River Middle, Boxiller

1241
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,760
Middle, Lake View, uh, North Park. So,

1242
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,200
those are just some thoughts, but I hope

1243
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,240
that if anybody's watching or listening

1244
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:02,800
that you hear that the plans that we've

1245
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,359
had have changed.

1246
00:53:05,359 --> 00:53:07,200
It's very significant that they have

1247
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,520
changed. They're not the same. we've

1248
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,520
pulled back and I think that means we

1249
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,359
have listened. We have listened and if

1250
00:53:15,359 --> 00:53:18,800
the people don't want us to go forward

1251
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,920
uh with any of these projects, I guess

1252
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,240
that's something we'll have to deal with

1253
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:26,640
as well. So, that could be the question

1254
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,119
uh that you might ask. So, anyway, that

1255
00:53:29,119 --> 00:53:32,240
was just a a thought. Um, but I hope

1256
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:34,559
that we do know that we're not going to

1257
00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:37,359
put the initiative on the ballot for a

1258
00:53:37,359 --> 00:53:40,559
lease revenue bond in November based on

1259
00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:43,200
the signatures that were gathered.

1260
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,359
That's not going to happen. At least I I

1261
00:53:45,359 --> 00:53:47,359
got zero sense from the board that that

1262
00:53:47,359 --> 00:53:48,559
would be something where we're headed.

1263
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:51,200
So, those are just some insights and

1264
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,599
thoughts, but I would love to hear the

1265
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:56,559
rest. Um, I guess my thoughts on this

1266
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:59,589
are

1267
00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:02,000
I'm hearing from my constituents now I

1268
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,520
know that we all represent different

1269
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,319
people that they are actually in support

1270
00:54:06,319 --> 00:54:08,079
of the school district building these

1271
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:10,240
buildings and moving forward and

1272
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:13,200
understand the financing is necessary

1273
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,040
and realize that we do not have

1274
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,440
a year to 18 months to put this off. And

1275
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,160
I think that um

1276
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,640
I think the longer we hold off, the more

1277
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,720
it's going to cost us and the greater

1278
00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:29,200
the needs are going to be. And just with

1279
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:30,960
this lake view situation, it's become

1280
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,319
really more apparent to me because when

1281
00:54:34,319 --> 00:54:36,559
you have a school with the sewer and the

1282
00:54:36,559 --> 00:54:38,559
restrooms and it was an inconvenience

1283
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:40,640
for most students and they could

1284
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,559
survive, but there were some that was

1285
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:46,480
actually uh inhibited their learning in

1286
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,680
a very significant way. And if we say we

1287
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,440
are here to educate all students and we

1288
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,599
do not provide facilities that are

1289
00:54:53,599 --> 00:54:54,880
appropriate for those students to be

1290
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,400
educated in, then we are not doing our

1291
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,800
jobs. And if that's going to cost us

1292
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,359
some money and I think we're with this

1293
00:55:01,359 --> 00:55:04,319
plan, we've shown we're putting sewer.

1294
00:55:04,319 --> 00:55:06,559
We we realize we don't have the money to

1295
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:08,000
build all the buildings that we need.

1296
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,400
It's just a fact. But if we can use the

1297
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,480
buildings that we have and make them

1298
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,559
more usable for longer and prevent some

1299
00:55:14,559 --> 00:55:16,720
of those issues, then we are serving the

1300
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:18,400
needs of all of our students and not

1301
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,240
just

1302
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:23,119
and even if it's only 2% of the students

1303
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:25,280
that we're not serving because of these

1304
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,640
needs, that's 2% of our students. And

1305
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,640
there are and I would argue it's far

1306
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,880
more than that because of the we don't

1307
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,720
know the situations or the circumstances

1308
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:37,440
that every child is coming from. And so

1309
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,839
we have to have safe schools as we're

1310
00:55:39,839 --> 00:55:42,000
those secure best schools. We need to

1311
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,640
have functional schools and if we have

1312
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,559
to put in money and if and air

1313
00:55:46,559 --> 00:55:50,000
conditioning has been a a big push and

1314
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,599
people that I've talked to are like my

1315
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:53,839
kids their elementary like we why don't

1316
00:55:53,839 --> 00:55:56,160
we have uh air conditioning in Lake View

1317
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,680
and you know because in the past we're

1318
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,720
like well we're going to replace Lake

1319
00:55:58,720 --> 00:55:59,839
View. Do we want to put that much money

1320
00:55:59,839 --> 00:56:01,040
into it? Well we're at the point where

1321
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,160
yeah we're going to have to keep using

1322
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,440
Lake View. So, we've got to put money

1323
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,720
into those things. But the from what I'm

1324
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:09,200
seeing from cities and the growth that

1325
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,040
we're experiencing or potentially

1326
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,520
experiencing, we have got to be prepared

1327
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,440
and do everything we can to make our

1328
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,240
buildings last longer and then do what

1329
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:21,520
we can now and not put it off

1330
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,680
until later. And so, I know that they

1331
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:24,960
gathered signatures. I know there are

1332
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,119
people that are very adamantly opposed

1333
00:56:27,119 --> 00:56:29,599
to our plans. the from the people that

1334
00:56:29,599 --> 00:56:32,319
I've talked to, they are actually

1335
00:56:32,319 --> 00:56:34,319
supportive of moving forward and they

1336
00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:36,319
want us to do something. They want us to

1337
00:56:36,319 --> 00:56:37,839
invest in our schools and our

1338
00:56:37,839 --> 00:56:50,870
infrastructure.

1339
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,520
» Again, I'm not opposed to projects. I'm

1340
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,240
just wondering with I think the way that

1341
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:58,640
the that we're legally supposed to move

1342
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,680
forward is based off of the we're

1343
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,400
supposed to represent the repres the

1344
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,960
residents. So I'm just wondering have we

1345
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,960
looked at other funding mechanisms? Have

1346
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,559
we looked at any grants or other options

1347
00:57:12,559 --> 00:57:14,880
for getting money?

1348
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:15,680
>> Um

1349
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,920
>> there are no grants available to build

1350
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,270
schools,

1351
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,880
» you know. Um,

1352
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,680
Julie was saying that the people she's

1353
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,839
listening to want it and I some of the

1354
00:57:29,839 --> 00:57:31,839
people I've heard want the elementary

1355
00:57:31,839 --> 00:57:33,920
schools. That's why I think that they

1356
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:38,000
would actually pass a bond. Um, but I

1357
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,280
think that we've got to go back and and Keith mentioned, you know, we've

1358
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,680
heard that from the the bond that didn't

1359
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,599
pass the people didn't want that. We've

1360
00:57:47,599 --> 00:57:49,440
heard from the signatures they didn't

1361
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,240
want that. What mechanism do the people

1362
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,880
have to tell us they don't want this?

1363
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:56,960
How do we how do we know that we're

1364
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,400
doing what we're supposed to legally do

1365
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,119
and that's represent residents because I

1366
00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:04,799
don't know that they have a mechanism to

1367
00:58:04,799 --> 00:58:07,520
come back and tell us don't want this.

1368
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,400
>> I want to say one thing here. What we're

1369
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,480
doing is legal. We've run it through our

1370
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,960
bond council at Chapman and Cutler.

1371
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,559
They've done the research. We are

1372
00:58:16,559 --> 00:58:18,000
allowed to do this. School districts

1373
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,680
have needs they have to address on a

1374
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,559
regular basis. I'll give you an example.

1375
00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,280
Earthquake in 2020 in Magna damaged a

1376
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,040
school in Grant School District they

1377
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,520
were unable to inhabit. They would not

1378
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,520
have been able to fix that school for

1379
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,599
the following school year if they were

1380
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:35,680
not allowed to get a loan right then and

1381
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,599
there. That was an immediate need they

1382
00:58:37,599 --> 00:58:40,799
had. They could not have the luxury of

1383
00:58:40,799 --> 00:58:43,760
going out to the voters in a bond

1384
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,240
election to ask for the permission to

1385
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,160
get a loan. They had to address it then

1386
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:49,440
because they had a a school that would

1387
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,119
not be functional for a significant

1388
00:58:51,119 --> 00:58:54,559
amount of time if they did not.

1389
00:58:54,559 --> 00:58:58,160
>> Yes. I just would add

1390
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,680
I just I in the tree mountain end I just

1391
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,520
see

1392
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,720
how crowded they are and we also serve

1393
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,799
these kids to make sure that they have a

1394
00:59:08,799 --> 00:59:13,520
good place to learn which I I mean we

1395
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,119
talk about the portables how they're

1396
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:16,319
nice because they have the air

1397
00:59:16,319 --> 00:59:18,319
conditioning but we're also running down

1398
00:59:18,319 --> 00:59:20,400
our buildings that we have currently

1399
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,280
because they're being over

1400
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,359
overused a good I don't know. But the

1401
00:59:25,359 --> 00:59:28,079
restrooms and just putting that added

1402
00:59:28,079 --> 00:59:32,240
pressure onto those buildings that

1403
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,760
I just I see

1404
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,319
that putting it out to

1405
00:59:38,319 --> 00:59:43,280
um the uh ballot would be really uh

1406
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,119
what's the word like they supportive. Um

1407
00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:50,160
somebody like said that they want that

1408
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,079
validating. can't be very validating for

1409
00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:54,720
the community to be able to say yes to,

1410
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,520
but in the back of my mind, well, what

1411
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,200
happens if they say no? And then what

1412
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,359
about all these kids that are also now

1413
01:00:03,359 --> 01:00:05,440
moving in? And and as we continue to

1414
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,880
grow, like I just feel like we're doing

1415
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,799
such a disservice

1416
01:00:08,799 --> 01:00:10,480
to the students that are there that this

1417
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,960
is impacting a lot. Um, you know, the

1418
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,440
new school comes in, Garland students

1419
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,359
that are going to fielding can now come

1420
01:00:17,359 --> 01:00:19,440
back to Garland. Kids that are getting

1421
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,839
bus from Thatcher can now go to the

1422
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:23,680
closer school and now Garland kids can

1423
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,520
go to Garland and McKinley can fit in

1424
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,440
their school. It just doesn't seem like

1425
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:32,720
this is a a a want. It really does seem

1426
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,559
like a need and I just think we have an

1427
01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:40,799
obligation to these students to um make

1428
01:00:40,799 --> 01:00:44,559
decisions that are in our purview to

1429
01:00:44,559 --> 01:00:46,960
make sure that that happens. I don't

1430
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,160
know.

1431
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,319
>> That's I guess how I feel. I would add

1432
01:00:50,319 --> 01:00:52,799
that we did a democratic study. The

1433
01:00:52,799 --> 01:00:54,400
study came back and said over the next 5

1434
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,319
years over 5,000 households are planned

1435
01:00:58,319 --> 01:01:00,400
in new construction

1436
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:04,400
for our county. So if we were to go to

1437
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,839
the voters and wait till next year start

1438
01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:08,559
this process, this new school probably

1439
01:01:08,559 --> 01:01:11,200
would be functional, have students in it

1440
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,920
for 3 years. We're in the middle of a

1441
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,200
thick and grow cycle in 3 years. I feel

1442
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,799
like that if we wait that time, we're

1443
01:01:20,799 --> 01:01:23,359
going to have 15 more portables in the

1444
01:01:23,359 --> 01:01:26,559
north end than we have right now.

1445
01:01:26,559 --> 01:01:29,359
One consideration in our calculus to put

1446
01:01:29,359 --> 01:01:34,950
this plan forward.

1447
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,799
» Um, if I remember right, the uh

1448
01:01:38,799 --> 01:01:43,839
the survey that came back from the

1449
01:01:43,839 --> 01:01:46,079
what's the paper again? demographer

1450
01:01:46,079 --> 01:01:49,839
>> demographer I think we are up 190

1451
01:01:49,839 --> 01:01:52,400
students in five years which if you

1452
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,160
spread that out it's like one student

1453
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,599
per classroom so we do have growth but I

1454
01:01:57,599 --> 01:01:59,359
don't know that it's overwhelming growth

1455
01:01:59,359 --> 01:02:01,440
per the demographer not the per the

1456
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,760
demographer so the other thing I'm um

1457
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,200
again stressing is that I I don't know

1458
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,280
that anybody would say that these

1459
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,040
projects don't need to be done just

1460
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,799
saying that the financing mechanism

1461
01:02:16,799 --> 01:02:19,599
looks a lot like we're just trying to go

1462
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:22,960
around, but they us not to. I don't know

1463
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,359
if that's crossing any lines that maybe

1464
01:02:25,359 --> 01:02:28,079
we wanted to consider. Um, I've had a

1465
01:02:28,079 --> 01:02:31,520
lot of phone calls since the newspaper

1466
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,440
article came out a couple weeks ago. I

1467
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,040
don't take the newspaper, but I've had a

1468
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,119
lot of phone calls saying that in an

1469
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:40,160
interview with Keith um that he

1470
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,640
acknowledged that we need to build

1471
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,799
trust. Like again, I haven't read the

1472
01:02:44,799 --> 01:02:46,079
article, just what people have been

1473
01:02:46,079 --> 01:02:50,160
telling me. So, if we want to do that,

1474
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,240
I'm just wondering, is this the best way

1475
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,839
to do that or is it it might be better

1476
01:02:55,839 --> 01:02:58,160
in the long run to build trust for

1477
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,839
future projects to go back and get their

1478
01:03:01,839 --> 01:03:04,000
um input and help them to feel like that

1479
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,599
they're a vested part of this.

1480
01:03:07,599 --> 01:03:10,319
>> I would say that's um a board discussion

1481
01:03:10,319 --> 01:03:12,240
item. Us as leadership are putting forth

1482
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,480
a plan that we think addresses our needs

1483
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,559
educationally. we feel this is the best

1484
01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:20,079
way to address them in the near term.

1485
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:21,520
>> So speaking to that Karen because I

1486
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:22,799
thought about that a lot. I thought are

1487
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:24,799
we going against the will of the voters?

1488
01:03:24,799 --> 01:03:26,720
Is this number one it's not illegal. I

1489
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,400
don't think we are doing anything that's

1490
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,640
out of line out of step in any way shape

1491
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,000
or form. I think what we have is an

1492
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,839
obligation to to our students and to our

1493
01:03:35,839 --> 01:03:37,839
residents and to go forward in the best

1494
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:39,359
way we can. So I don't think it's a

1495
01:03:39,359 --> 01:03:43,200
legal matter at all. But secondly,

1496
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,200
one of the things that I consider as a

1497
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,640
board member is I am a representative of

1498
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,200
the people, but that doesn't mean I

1499
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,640
listen to the loudest or that I I have

1500
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,960
to, you know, like there they did gather

1501
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,039
signatures, but that was still not the

1502
01:03:59,039 --> 01:04:00,880
full percentage of the county. We know

1503
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:02,640
the bond failed at a significant rate.

1504
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,960
Yes. So, we went and reworked it. But as

1505
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,799
a representative,

1506
01:04:06,799 --> 01:04:08,640
I feel like they're putting trust in us

1507
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,880
to look at the data, look at the

1508
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,559
solutions, look at what we need to do,

1509
01:04:12,559 --> 01:04:14,319
and make the best decision possible. I

1510
01:04:14,319 --> 01:04:16,640
see Tom's here, Tom Peterson. He's my

1511
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,039
representative in the state legislature,

1512
01:04:19,039 --> 01:04:21,760
and I don't necessarily

1513
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,760
know all the decisions that they make

1514
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,200
and what they're doing, but I know he's

1515
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,599
representing a large group of people and

1516
01:04:27,599 --> 01:04:30,000
he has to, but I also trust that he's

1517
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,079
doing his homework. like when he goes to

1518
01:04:32,079 --> 01:04:33,760
vote on something, he's looked at it and

1519
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,280
said, "Is this what is best for the

1520
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,280
majority of the people for the purpose

1521
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,039
that it is?" And I think that's our role

1522
01:04:39,039 --> 01:04:40,799
as board members. I don't think our role

1523
01:04:40,799 --> 01:04:42,480
is to go out and take a poll every time

1524
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,000
somebody we're going to do something and

1525
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,920
say, "Are you okay with spending this

1526
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:47,119
money this way? Are you okay with us

1527
01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:49,039
spending money that way?" I think ours

1528
01:04:49,039 --> 01:04:50,640
we take the feedback and they say, "Yes,

1529
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:52,640
we support these projects and we say,

1530
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,200
okay, this is how we have ability to do

1531
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:56,799
that." And then we move forward in that

1532
01:04:56,799 --> 01:04:59,280
way. And so one of the things that I

1533
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,880
think that when we talk to the public

1534
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,240
about this, I think we need to be really

1535
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,079
clear that it's not that we're not

1536
01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:06,160
listening to you, it's that we are

1537
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,559
trying to do what you want us to because

1538
01:05:08,559 --> 01:05:09,920
I've heard people say we want the

1539
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,520
elementarymentaries, we want those

1540
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,920
things, but hold off until we approve it

1541
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:15,039
in a certain way. And I just think

1542
01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:17,280
that's actually costing us more money

1543
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,400
and actually

1544
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,400
depleting trust with the rest of the

1545
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,000
community that the people that, like I

1546
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,119
said, the people that I've talked to,

1547
01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:26,559
they're just like, "My kids are

1548
01:05:26,559 --> 01:05:29,200
suffering. How come my

1549
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,599
for example like Golden Spike new school

1550
01:05:31,599 --> 01:05:33,520
and they had something there and they

1551
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:34,960
had like different dance team like I

1552
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,039
think it was literacy night and they had

1553
01:05:37,039 --> 01:05:39,039
different dance companies or different

1554
01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:41,200
performance groups come and perform and

1555
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,839
her kids go to Lake View and they went

1556
01:05:43,839 --> 01:05:46,319
and performed there. just like

1557
01:05:46,319 --> 01:05:48,880
how is that fair that my kids have to go

1558
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,240
to this school without even enough

1559
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,960
bathrooms and then other kids have to go

1560
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,880
here and at the same thing how come my

1561
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,640
kids are all crowded into this space

1562
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,960
where this school has plenty of of space

1563
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,039
and room available and we're trying and

1564
01:06:01,039 --> 01:06:03,920
I think we have to consider the whole we

1565
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,160
need the space we're trying to make

1566
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,280
things right for us and obviously we

1567
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:10,880
have older buildings and we can't just

1568
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,880
build everything new but I think the

1569
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,119
public is asking us to do what is best

1570
01:06:15,119 --> 01:06:17,359
with the money that we have in the way

1571
01:06:17,359 --> 01:06:19,280
the best we can. And this is our this is

1572
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,599
our option. We don't have a huge

1573
01:06:21,599 --> 01:06:22,880
business coming in. In fact, any

1574
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,160
business that does come in, we don't get

1575
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,280
the taxes for a long time. You know, we

1576
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,799
don't have we have a different

1577
01:06:28,799 --> 01:06:31,359
demographic. We know that. But we are a

1578
01:06:31,359 --> 01:06:33,359
community and we are trying to do what's

1579
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:37,359
right as a community to benefit

1580
01:06:37,359 --> 01:06:40,480
our students and our community in the

1581
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,960
best way we know how. And so when I look

1582
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:44,079
at it this way, I don't think we're

1583
01:06:44,079 --> 01:06:45,680
going behind anybody's backs. We're

1584
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,000
being very open and saying we need this

1585
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,799
done. This is the option we have and we

1586
01:06:50,799 --> 01:06:52,880
need to move forward because any weight

1587
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,640
is actually costing us more. And I was

1588
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:58,000
sending I don't know if they pass it

1589
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,599
with just that particular thing on the

1590
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:01,280
bond because it's only affecting small

1591
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,640
groups of people and and maybe the Lake

1592
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,160
View parents are like, well, I'm getting

1593
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,799
nothing out of this. like they could be

1594
01:07:08,799 --> 01:07:13,200
upset and and so I don't know I said too

1595
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,119
much but that's what I'm thinking.

1596
01:07:15,119 --> 01:07:17,280
>> I guess that's where my my biggest

1597
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,119
question lately has been is like if

1598
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:20,559
we're going to take everything to the

1599
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:22,400
ballot then what am I doing here? Like

1600
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,079
why am I sitting why am I doing all this

1601
01:07:24,079 --> 01:07:25,760
homework to figure out if this is a good

1602
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,880
idea if we should just put it on the

1603
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,960
ballot? I I guess that's just been my I

1604
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:37,430
don't understand.

1605
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,760
So just the political culture, the

1606
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,559
climate that we've been in for the past

1607
01:07:44,559 --> 01:07:47,839
years, I just think over and over again

1608
01:07:47,839 --> 01:07:50,400
that we live in a representative

1609
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,520
republic, not

1610
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,240
people vote for representatives, not

1611
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:57,839
only

1612
01:07:57,839 --> 01:08:02,799
we don't go by popular opinion. We don't run by

1613
01:08:02,799 --> 01:08:05,200
we don't sway and make decisions based

1614
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,079
on popularity in the moment. We we study

1615
01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:10,799
things out and we we are elected to

1616
01:08:10,799 --> 01:08:13,359
choose to do what is best. I think we

1617
01:08:13,359 --> 01:08:15,359
say we've said this a lot but this board

1618
01:08:15,359 --> 01:08:17,440
has said we want to get the biggest bang

1619
01:08:17,440 --> 01:08:20,560
for the buck. We're trying to spread out

1620
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,719
the funds that we have that we receive

1621
01:08:24,719 --> 01:08:26,960
in the best way possible to affect the

1622
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:32,000
most students possible. and teachers and

1623
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,560
that just keeps coming back to me. Um to

1624
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,480
run a poll and to run

1625
01:08:38,480 --> 01:08:40,960
a questionnaire whatever every single

1626
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,600
for all these decisions

1627
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,560
isn't what our

1628
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,199
that's not how our government runs. I

1629
01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:52,239
have just I have not had someone talk to

1630
01:08:52,239 --> 01:08:54,719
me and say I want you to give my taxes

1631
01:08:54,719 --> 01:08:57,600
back. I have had a lot of people say to

1632
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,319
me, "What are you going to do with it?

1633
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:01,679
You've got it. What are you going to do

1634
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:04,560
with it?" And some of those names were

1635
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:08,400
on the petition. I'm just And I've also

1636
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,560
had people say, "I signed that petition

1637
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,000
because they told me you were raising my

1638
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,120
taxes again." So, the petition bears

1639
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,759
weight with me. It's important. I

1640
01:09:17,759 --> 01:09:21,199
listen. I'm listening. I but there were

1641
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:23,040
people on that that signed that petition

1642
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,359
for all different reasons. Not just

1643
01:09:25,359 --> 01:09:28,719
saying I think I would dare say that

1644
01:09:28,719 --> 01:09:30,719
it's the vast minority that signed that

1645
01:09:30,719 --> 01:09:32,640
petition to say we don't like the

1646
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,719
funding mechanism you're using. I know

1647
01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:37,839
some did. I know some did. But people

1648
01:09:37,839 --> 01:09:39,359
signed that petition for all different

1649
01:09:39,359 --> 01:09:43,279
reasons. For spite a huge amount for

1650
01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:44,960
spite because they were angry about

1651
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,520
their taxes. that what I'm hearing now,

1652
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:52,239
even from that email that I forwarded to I think all of you from the the Tree

1653
01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:54,159
Mountain groups that represent four

1654
01:09:54,159 --> 01:09:56,159
quarters of Tree Mountain, they don't

1655
01:09:56,159 --> 01:09:57,199
want to know if they're getting their

1656
01:09:57,199 --> 01:09:59,199
taxes back. They want to know, are you

1657
01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:01,120
looking for growth? What are you doing

1658
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,719
with our money now that you've got it?

1659
01:10:02,719 --> 01:10:06,480
What is your plan? And so, personally,

1660
01:10:06,480 --> 01:10:08,960
I'm not willing, and this isn't a vote.

1661
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,239
We're not taking a vote tonight. This is

1662
01:10:10,239 --> 01:10:12,239
a discussion. I'm not willing to say

1663
01:10:12,239 --> 01:10:15,199
let's give the taxes back because it

1664
01:10:15,199 --> 01:10:17,920
wastes time. It wastes money and we have

1665
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,480
we're rethinking and we're reusing and I

1666
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:23,280
think we're trying to use this money

1667
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:24,960
to get the biggest bang for our buck for

1668
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,000
the most people. So

1669
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,470
that's

1670
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:34,480
um I'm not suggesting that we take a

1671
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:38,320
poll on everything. Um, I think that 95%

1672
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,120
probably 98% of our decisions we make

1673
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,760
and we do the best we can to represent

1674
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,719
the people. Um, I'm just saying that

1675
01:10:46,719 --> 01:10:49,280
we've had this

1676
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,560
kind of a question with the bond with

1677
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,679
the petition on this question. I think

1678
01:10:55,679 --> 01:10:58,320
that it might be worth going back to the

1679
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,480
people on that. I'm not saying that the

1680
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:02,560
projects aren't good projects. I'm just

1681
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,320
saying that I think that the people have

1682
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,800
kind of said, "Okay, on this one we want

1683
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:14,000
to be able to have some input." That's all I'm saying. Um I know that um

1684
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,480
we've heard that some people are getting

1685
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:18,320
phone calls saying that they support

1686
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,239
this and like I said, I've had some that

1687
01:11:20,239 --> 01:11:21,840
say, "I would definitely support

1688
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,600
elementary schools and you know, the

1689
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,560
security issues." So that's why I'm a

1690
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,040
believer that if we rolled back the

1691
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,239
taxes, give the public the opportunity

1692
01:11:32,239 --> 01:11:35,360
to be invested in it, I think we have a

1693
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,520
very good public, I think that they

1694
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:39,199
would see that these are needs and I

1695
01:11:39,199 --> 01:11:40,640
think that they would actually vote for

1696
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,600
that geo bond, which um I think would be

1697
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,960
the right way to do it. But just a side

1698
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:50,560
note, I have also had a member of my

1699
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,120
community come and tell me that their

1700
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,920
neighbor is now selling her blood twice

1701
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,480
a month, be able to pay for increased

1702
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:01,360
taxes. So, I don't know what everybody

1703
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,440
out there's doing, but I know that this

1704
01:12:03,440 --> 01:12:05,600
is hurting some people. And so, I'm just

1705
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:13,270
wondering if there's a better way.

1706
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:18,390
» Thank you. Thank you for that.

1707
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:19,920
Danielle, did you have anything you want

1708
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,880
to add to any of this?

1709
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,800
All right. Is there any other

1710
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,960
discussion? Directors, do you have

1711
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,760
anything for us?

1712
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,080
Wisdom, director, superintendent, you'd

1713
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,880
like to share?

1714
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:36,080
>> Oh, yeah.

1715
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,320
>> No, I I think we've had this

1716
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:39,280
>> this discussion.

1717
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,360
>> Yeah, we've had it several times and I

1718
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,120
appreciate it. It's so important for us

1719
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:47,040
to really understand try to understand

1720
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,520
I appreciate this time. Does anyone feel

1721
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,080
like we need to keep

1722
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:56,550
>> here? Yeah, I'll hand

1723
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,280
» um I just wanted to say after I don't

1724
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,880
remember which meeting it was, but we

1725
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,560
did have a lot of the members that were

1726
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,600
really pushing the petition um and

1727
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,159
really advocating to get that signed. A

1728
01:13:08,159 --> 01:13:10,000
member from the community up north that

1729
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:11,920
lives kind of by me. I don't know this

1730
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,679
individual very well, but after one of

1731
01:13:13,679 --> 01:13:15,440
the board meetings where they came to

1732
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:18,320
listen about what we were doing, um this

1733
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,560
individual, she stopped and stayed at

1734
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,480
the end when the board went into close

1735
01:13:22,480 --> 01:13:25,360
session and she spoke very strongly and

1736
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:28,000
adamantly about the fact that as she was

1737
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,560
gathering those votes, she felt like the

1738
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,159
people really wanted to see West

1739
01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:34,560
Traymont and built that that that area

1740
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,239
really strongly feels that it needs

1741
01:13:36,239 --> 01:13:38,960
done. And I I just wanted to speak

1742
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,440
because to that because as you said, I

1743
01:13:41,440 --> 01:13:43,600
do think that a lot of people signed the

1744
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,120
petition for a lot of different reasons

1745
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,440
and we can't really speak to what that

1746
01:13:47,440 --> 01:13:49,760
reason was, but I just thought it was

1747
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,600
worth noting that that individual who

1748
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,520
was listening to a lot of people and

1749
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,679
really pushing that petition felt like

1750
01:13:55,679 --> 01:13:57,600
we really do need to move forward with

1751
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:00,640
Traymont. And I I've gone back and forth

1752
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,600
on this a lot. And I just don't know how

1753
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,520
to meet the needs of the students in

1754
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,440
elementary school without doing

1755
01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:10,640
something. It's it's not fair what we're

1756
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,480
doing in our title one schools to those

1757
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:14,320
kids. And it is our three title one

1758
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:15,920
schools that are seeing the most amount

1759
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,880
of impact. They're the ones with less

1760
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,960
playground space. They're the schools

1761
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,280
with less flexible space in their

1762
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,159
classrooms. We we don't have those same

1763
01:14:26,159 --> 01:14:32,480
problems at ThreeMile Creek. And it it's a big difference for those kids in

1764
01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:34,800
our most impacted schools that that see

1765
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,880
the hardest things day in day out. And

1766
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,880
this has been a problem that we've had

1767
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,040
for four years since I've been in my

1768
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,520
position. A big fear about the building

1769
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,120
and construction that's going in in

1770
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,120
Tmont and how that's going to impact the

1771
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,840
schools. and we've been limping along

1772
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,320
for a really long time doing all that we

1773
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,400
can to make do and do without and

1774
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,520
support the kids. And I I do genuinely

1775
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,159
believe that the majority of the

1776
01:15:02,159 --> 01:15:04,159
community does understand that something

1777
01:15:04,159 --> 01:15:06,560
has to be done for elementary schools.

1778
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,480
And that's just what I wanted to add as

1779
01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:10,320
the elementary assistant superintendent

1780
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:14,080
since that's what we're discussing.

1781
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,480
Ultimately all this information as we

1782
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:18,640
think about the different that are shown

1783
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:22,159
to us tonight ultimately so as we have

1784
01:15:22,159 --> 01:15:24,560
action items

1785
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:28,560
to approve contract

1786
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:33,199
I know the help me here the construction

1787
01:15:33,199 --> 01:15:35,440
what is the name of that construction

1788
01:15:35,440 --> 01:15:37,040
management

1789
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,760
the action item on Wednesday right

1790
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,760
that's that's a vote so we just if you

1791
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,760
at that meeting decide no this is not

1792
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,480
the way I want to move forward then

1793
01:15:48,480 --> 01:15:52,000
that's when you go right um and then we

1794
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:53,440
reate things

1795
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:56,320
>> can we propose a brief restroom break

1796
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:57,760
for a few minutes here before our next

1797
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:01,590
topic

1798
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,360
» 8:30

1799
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:19,830
reconvene that's that's good

1800
01:16:19,840 --> 01:23:34,390
Oh no.

1801
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,480
I didn't get to ask what you thought

1802
01:23:36,480 --> 01:23:39,510
about.

1803
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,880
» I should have asked

1804
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:51,990
>> the facilities.

1805
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,840
» Oh, before we go to facil

1806
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,280
>> Clay, would you join us up here?

1807
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,159
>> We're next to Cory. He doesn't bite.

1808
01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:01,679
>> And Mr. Gilmore, I think you were up

1809
01:24:01,679 --> 01:24:06,709
here, too.

1810
01:24:06,719 --> 01:24:08,880
» Now, I just I want to clarify the

1811
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,120
facilities

1812
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:15,040
committee was shown this two months ago.

1813
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,080
>> About that. Yeah,

1814
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:17,679
>> about two months ago. Part of it. I

1815
01:24:17,679 --> 01:24:20,080
don't even think all of it. And and this

1816
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:24,080
is just a way to There's a problem.

1817
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:24,560
>> Yes,

1818
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:30,550
>> there's a big problem.

1819
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,520
» Um, so we need a solution. This is one

1820
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:34,800
solution, correct?

1821
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,199
>> That's correct. It's a proposal from the

1822
01:24:37,199 --> 01:24:39,600
facilities leadership of how we can fix

1823
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:40,880
some problems we see.

1824
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,400
>> All right. And this solution wasn't

1825
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,560
built by the facilities board members

1826
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:45,440
committee, right?

1827
01:24:45,440 --> 01:24:46,000
>> Correct.

1828
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,360
>> But but we were shown it months ago.

1829
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:55,910
>> Yeah.

1830
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,040
» And I'll lean on Corey here to correct

1831
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:00,800
me on size if they're wrong. Is this the

1832
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:02,960
right size of Boxelder High?

1833
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,360
>> 51. I'm close.

1834
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,920
>> All right. This is the size of Boxelder

1835
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,480
High. As we can see by the text here,

1836
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:13,199
it's actually 51 acres.

1837
01:25:13,199 --> 01:25:16,719
Look how spread out it is. We have the

1838
01:25:16,719 --> 01:25:20,000
Let's see if this doesn't work here.

1839
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,840
Um, here we go. We have the NAT right

1840
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,159
here. We have the baseball and softball

1841
01:25:26,159 --> 01:25:29,440
up here. Then we have the uh football

1842
01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:32,560
field. We have the CT area, the main

1843
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,639
part of the building. Then we have

1844
01:25:34,639 --> 01:25:36,320
parking back here, additional practice

1845
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,520
fields, uh down here at tennis courts.

1846
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,320
We're pretty well spread out.

1847
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,199
Now, when we get to Bear River,

1848
01:25:45,199 --> 01:25:47,040
we're at 29 acres. Is that accurate,

1849
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,440
Cory?

1850
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:51,120
And

1851
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,120
see if this is going to work here. We

1852
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:56,480
have softball next to baseball. We don't

1853
01:25:56,480 --> 01:25:58,800
have a lot of parking. And those sports

1854
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,120
happen in the same season. Here we have

1855
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,159
the track and lacrosse actually lacrosse

1856
01:26:04,159 --> 01:26:06,320
happens in the springtime. All four of

1857
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:07,920
those sports happen the same time and

1858
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:09,360
sometimes we have home events for all

1859
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:11,199
four sports. There's not a lot of

1860
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:13,840
parking and space back here.

1861
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:15,440
We have a practice field up here that

1862
01:26:15,440 --> 01:26:17,440
also doubles as a parking lot during

1863
01:26:17,440 --> 01:26:19,679
spring for our different athletic

1864
01:26:19,679 --> 01:26:22,400
events. Um seminary building we don't

1865
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,400
quite own yet, but we don't have parking

1866
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,280
up there. And then I go across the

1867
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,840
street. We have parking over here. And

1868
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,520
then we have the NAT over here and more

1869
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:34,159
parking. But what happens is, and we

1870
01:26:34,159 --> 01:26:35,360
can't really see this on my picture

1871
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,560
here, I apologize. Along these roads up

1872
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,199
here on 14 north, students park on both

1873
01:26:41,199 --> 01:26:43,040
sides of the roads because we have

1874
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:47,040
adequate parking. Down here in between

1875
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,280
the Bear Center and the CTE building and

1876
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,199
the main building, we have buses running

1877
01:26:51,199 --> 01:26:53,840
back here to pick up students. We have

1878
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,639
buses running in front here to pick up

1879
01:26:56,639 --> 01:26:59,360
students. And over here we have student

1880
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,120
parking over here that students cross

1881
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,760
right here and create a massive traffic

1882
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,159
jam on Main Street. Same thing up here.

1883
01:27:06,159 --> 01:27:09,120
They cross over here. We have a parking

1884
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:12,719
problem. We have a space problem.

1885
01:27:12,719 --> 01:27:14,080
>> Going to be built.

1886
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,600
>> Okay. Um I'll get to that.

1887
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,120
>> Okay. It's not anywhere there.

1888
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,040
>> Uh it it is it is. But I I think my

1889
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:22,080
visual better illustrates it. Well, our

1890
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:23,679
parking problem creates a student safety

1891
01:27:23,679 --> 01:27:26,560
problem. Now to the north here, we own

1892
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,560
land across the street, but it's not

1893
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:30,320
really safe to have kids crossing that

1894
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,000
main road on a regular basis for

1895
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,120
parking. Um, it also requires

1896
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:36,639
significant

1897
01:27:36,639 --> 01:27:38,320
um amount of construction to get it

1898
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,510
there.

1899
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,639
So, here's our bus loading zones behind.

1900
01:27:44,639 --> 01:27:47,280
We load uh some special ed students, but

1901
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,840
we also load in front as well. And this

1902
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,480
is morning and afternoon that happens.

1903
01:27:52,480 --> 01:27:54,320
There's about 35 buses that come to this

1904
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,000
area on a daily basis each morning, each

1905
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,880
afternoon. It's a lot of bus traffic and

1906
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:00,400
a lot of student traffic mixed with

1907
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,400
buses. A lot of traffic on Main Street

1908
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:03,679
that gets backed up for students

1909
01:28:03,679 --> 01:28:07,120
crossing back and forth and buses. We

1910
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:08,960
really think that we need to alleviate

1911
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:14,390
this in some form or fashion.

1912
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,239
So, we went through a design phase as

1913
01:28:16,239 --> 01:28:18,400
part of the RFP authorized about this

1914
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,600
time last year to redesign this campus

1915
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,159
to the intent was to allow 9th graders

1916
01:28:24,159 --> 01:28:26,080
to come up with the high school. So,

1917
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,600
this is what the redesign looked like.

1918
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:30,800
Let's see if I can get this to work

1919
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,400
better here. So, proposal is to purchase

1920
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,639
a seminary building, which we are going

1921
01:28:36,639 --> 01:28:38,560
to be doing, and we would extend have

1922
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,400
extended this building up through here.

1923
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,080
Now, that we're no longer building this.

1924
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:43,679
For the time being, this would area

1925
01:28:43,679 --> 01:28:45,040
right here, the semary building become a

1926
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:48,400
parking lot next year in August of 27.

1927
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:49,360
Probably be available for us to

1928
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:51,679
construct a parking lot.

1929
01:28:51,679 --> 01:28:52,960
Here's a new seminary building right

1930
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:54,960
here, right across the street. We traded

1931
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,840
land size for land size for them to have

1932
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,080
this building over here.

1933
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,280
And so we need to create a parking

1934
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,600
entrance right here for parking to come

1935
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,520
in the back side of the auditorium

1936
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,080
because Main Street is a UD do road. UD

1937
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,320
do will not authorize another curb cut

1938
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:13,920
to allow traffic in from this side over

1939
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:15,920
here. So, we're going to have to come in

1940
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,320
down through here to put parking in

1941
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,400
here.

1942
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,840
And then here's a potential moving of

1943
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,120
the base of the softball field because

1944
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:29,199
we want to create the practice field,

1945
01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:31,920
make that a so a parking lot for

1946
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,000
students and for buses. buses would come

1947
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
in around the perimeter of the field of

1948
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,199
the of the parking lot, but line up for

1949
01:29:39,199 --> 01:29:41,840
um students to board them. That removes

1950
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:45,600
them from behind here

1951
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,199
and in front of the school where we have

1952
01:29:47,199 --> 01:29:49,440
lots of traffic already. And in the

1953
01:29:49,440 --> 01:29:51,600
center would be student parking during

1954
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:53,679
school time and event parking for

1955
01:29:53,679 --> 01:29:55,360
different events we have at the high

1956
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:58,000
school. Doing that, we need a practice

1957
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:02,320
space. So the softball field will become

1958
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:04,480
a practice field and then the softball

1959
01:30:04,480 --> 01:30:07,440
field move over here. In doing so, that

1960
01:30:07,440 --> 01:30:10,080
alleviates spring sports congestion back

1961
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,480
here and people trying to get out on

1962
01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:14,800
Main Street from behind the school. It

1963
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,239
would be moved over here. They could

1964
01:30:16,239 --> 01:30:17,840
park in an auditorium parking right here

1965
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,080
and exit out that way. They could park

1966
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,320
over here and exit this way or down Main

1967
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,560
Street easier and wouldn't create so

1968
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:26,320
much traffic behind the school during

1969
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:30,070
events.

1970
01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:32,719
So this is what it looks like.

1971
01:30:32,719 --> 01:30:34,719
Add parking remove and it also removes

1972
01:30:34,719 --> 01:30:36,639
all the student parking from the roads.

1973
01:30:36,639 --> 01:30:38,480
We wouldn't allow any student parking on

1974
01:30:38,480 --> 01:30:40,320
the roads anymore. Creates a safety

1975
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,320
issue. The speed limit on that road up

1976
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:45,360
there 14 or north is pretty quick and we

1977
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,360
we'd hate to see an accident like that

1978
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,120
involving a vehicle. Either students

1979
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,120
backing out because they pull in or

1980
01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:52,560
students trying to cross the road or get

1981
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:54,800
in their vehicle. It's just a a risk

1982
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:57,040
that we think we need to address um

1983
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:00,320
sooner than later.

1984
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,280
So, natory parking lot changes. Samurray

1985
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:04,480
is going to start construction this

1986
01:31:04,480 --> 01:31:07,440
summer, probably August or September. Um

1987
01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:09,360
and then we need to access drive the go

1988
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,080
here to the back parking lot and extend

1989
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:13,600
potential expanded parking lot on the

1990
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:15,199
new softball field if we choose to do

1991
01:31:15,199 --> 01:31:17,760
that. But we do need to create this

1992
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:21,199
parking access drive uh this summer to

1993
01:31:21,199 --> 01:31:22,719
bring in there. It can be it can be a

1994
01:31:22,719 --> 01:31:24,880
temporary drive not be permanent but

1995
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:27,280
this is part of this plan to be allowed

1996
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:29,760
to gain access back off of 1400 north

1997
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:33,440
into the natoran parking

1998
01:31:33,440 --> 01:31:33,840
>> yes

1999
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:37,040
>> this was the slide for that

2000
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:42,070
>> yes

2001
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,910
» north of the

2002
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,520
» any other questions so far

2003
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:54,229
>> what what are they right

2004
01:31:54,239 --> 01:31:56,239
What are they using that area right

2005
01:31:56,239 --> 01:31:59,350
there?

2006
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:02,239
» Right now that's a practice field or

2007
01:32:02,239 --> 01:32:04,719
>> middle school.

2008
01:32:04,719 --> 01:32:13,510
So

2009
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:16,560
» they have adequate PE space north of the

2010
01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:18,480
building and even north of this there's

2011
01:32:18,480 --> 01:32:20,239
still a fairly good chunk

2012
01:32:20,239 --> 01:32:22,400
>> right that grass area is not used for

2013
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,280
medical middle school anything right now

2014
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:26,880
right

2015
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:34,390
>> rarely it's not needed for PE space

2016
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:36,719
uh practice field changes. So the

2017
01:32:36,719 --> 01:32:38,239
current softball field will become the

2018
01:32:38,239 --> 01:32:42,320
practice field next to tennis courts. Um

2019
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:45,040
eventually we would if we use the

2020
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:46,480
current design we've invested in for

2021
01:32:46,480 --> 01:32:48,800
this high school. We would take down the

2022
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:51,120
CTE building

2023
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:54,239
uh right here and build a new space here

2024
01:32:54,239 --> 01:32:56,560
and this will all become parking. And I

2025
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,000
forgot to mention we also have tennis

2026
01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,840
back here. So tennis is another spring

2027
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:02,080
sport. So we have five spring sports

2028
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,000
potentially that are occurring on this

2029
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,719
29 acres that most high schools have

2030
01:33:06,719 --> 01:33:09,920
double the space.

2031
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:13,440
>> Neil about that CT

2032
01:33:13,440 --> 01:33:17,360
>> that CT is that CT building and changes

2033
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:18,320
down the road

2034
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,520
>> down the way. Yes. Yeah. We're using

2035
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:24,000
existing design that we worked on for

2036
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,400
the expansion as a basis of how we can

2037
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:29,360
improve access and parking at the build

2038
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:34,229
at this campus.

2039
01:33:34,239 --> 01:33:37,040
Uh those are those slides. Um this is a

2040
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,840
brief overview. If you go back to the

2041
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:42,800
remember the initial slides um we're

2042
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:44,800
proposing

2043
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:48,639
let me see I think it's four or

2044
01:33:48,639 --> 01:33:54,229
um

2045
01:33:54,239 --> 01:33:56,960
yeah I I don't want to misspeak uh $4

2046
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:00,480
million for improvements.

2047
01:34:00,480 --> 01:34:02,000
>> Yes,

2048
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,239
that's just estimate from architects

2049
01:34:04,239 --> 01:34:06,080
what it may cost. We don't have any

2050
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:07,760
bids. This isn't even designed yet. This

2051
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,239
is a rough stage one design of this

2052
01:34:10,239 --> 01:34:11,360
campus. We haven't gone through

2053
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:13,679
engineering on this campus yet. And so

2054
01:34:13,679 --> 01:34:17,199
the engineering and design work uh civil

2055
01:34:17,199 --> 01:34:19,280
work has not been completed yet. We

2056
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:20,320
haven't even gone down that route yet.

2057
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:22,320
We haven't invested in that. But this is

2058
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:24,880
where we're at so far with the uh high

2059
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,920
school plans.

2060
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:29,280
>> Yes, Stephanie.

2061
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:33,110
>> Are you

2062
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:34,880
» Yeah, this is No, this is your time now.

2063
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,719
I'm done with the presentation about the

2064
01:34:36,719 --> 01:34:38,320
but we can go back to the pictures.

2065
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,080
>> I I don't know if this is a you question

2066
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:42,239
or you question but we just approved

2067
01:34:42,239 --> 01:34:45,199
doing the turf for

2068
01:34:45,199 --> 01:34:45,920
the

2069
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:48,960
>> baseball We'll also be doing it we'll

2070
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,280
be doing it for the softball as well. So

2071
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:52,880
this is a really good time to make that

2072
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,920
decision so that we're not undoing what

2073
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,679
we just do. So making that plan

2074
01:34:59,679 --> 01:35:01,760
and so that would does does the money

2075
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:03,520
that we approved is that part of the 4

2076
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:04,800
million or is that

2077
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:07,679
>> no money? So that we approved a

2078
01:35:07,679 --> 01:35:11,360
receiving a donation for the purposes of

2079
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,560
re of renovating the baseball field. We

2080
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:18,870
haven't approved that project yet.

2081
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,520
» Yes.

2082
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:23,600
>> The match funds are not included in

2083
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:26,320
this. No, it actually if we include the

2084
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,320
match funds that would be a $3.5

2085
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,400
million, but that match is not part of

2086
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:36,870
the budget that we're doing right now.

2087
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:39,840
» As we've looked through these options

2088
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,480
and I've talked with Neil, we want to be

2089
01:35:42,480 --> 01:35:44,639
clear that

2090
01:35:44,639 --> 01:35:48,000
the issues we are trying to solve are

2091
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,760
traffic, parking, and busing.

2092
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:58,320
And in the process of this and doing the shuffling of things around to make a

2093
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,600
better setup, there are some benefits

2094
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:04,000
that extracurricular activities will

2095
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,560
gain, but they are not the reason that

2096
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:09,990
this is happening.

2097
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:14,719
It is a crazy cramped

2098
01:36:14,719 --> 01:36:19,600
campus that they are doing all they can

2099
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:22,800
to make it work. and it's just a

2100
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,239
struggle all the time. I don't know if

2101
01:36:24,239 --> 01:36:27,520
you want to say anything else on that.

2102
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,760
>> Yeah, I mean I agree. We're we're we're

2103
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:32,639
basically doing everything we can do. Um

2104
01:36:32,639 --> 01:36:35,920
we probably have 35% of our students

2105
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:38,159
right now that don't park in any parking

2106
01:36:38,159 --> 01:36:39,840
lot. They park on streets. They park

2107
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,760
across from where the practice football

2108
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:43,760
field is on both sides all the way down

2109
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,920
the block all the way to the almost

2110
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:47,840
railroad tracks. We have people that

2111
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,400
park there. We have people that park um

2112
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,639
between the niatorum and the parking lot

2113
01:36:52,639 --> 01:36:54,159
on the street all the way that way and

2114
01:36:54,159 --> 01:36:56,080
then on the north side all the way down

2115
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,719
on that that piece every day come in the

2116
01:36:58,719 --> 01:37:01,040
winter time when there's a few uh snow

2117
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,639
piles makes it even worse. Um the bus

2118
01:37:04,639 --> 01:37:07,840
thing behind the school is a huge issue.

2119
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:10,080
We have we have I think we have eight

2120
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,480
buses that go behind the school um

2121
01:37:12,480 --> 01:37:14,800
including our our um sped buses that

2122
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:17,280
have um the kids that that have to have

2123
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:18,800
like wheelchairs and things. that's

2124
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,159
where they drop kids off. Um, we have no

2125
01:37:22,159 --> 01:37:24,000
choice but we have kids that have to

2126
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,560
walk past in between those buses all the

2127
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:28,639
time. There's they have to because of

2128
01:37:28,639 --> 01:37:30,960
where their school their classes are.

2129
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:35,119
So, like Corey said, the real the real

2130
01:37:35,119 --> 01:37:37,600
problem is the parking and the access to

2131
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:39,920
the school. In order to fix that, you're

2132
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:42,000
going to have to do some other things to

2133
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,239
make sure that there's other that those

2134
01:37:44,239 --> 01:37:45,840
get moved to a certain place. It's a lot

2135
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:47,360
like what happened with the baseball and

2136
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:49,679
softball field at Bosel. In order to be

2137
01:37:49,679 --> 01:37:51,679
able to build those buildings there, you

2138
01:37:51,679 --> 01:37:53,760
had to relocate and in order to do that

2139
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,159
sometimes you have to So yeah, I don't

2140
01:37:56,159 --> 01:37:58,080
know if there's any questions on on the

2141
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,000
parking or just the congestion. Neil's

2142
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,800
not wrong. Um we actually have six

2143
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:04,800
sports that would would be there. You

2144
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:07,040
got baseball, softball, track, both

2145
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,679
lacrosse, tennis, and then we have boys

2146
01:38:09,679 --> 01:38:12,560
uh uh soccer. We have generally

2147
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,440
baseball, softball, you know, a game on

2148
01:38:15,440 --> 01:38:18,239
the turf, tennis, a game in the gym all

2149
01:38:18,239 --> 01:38:20,880
in the same night. And and we have I

2150
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,199
mean, we we've had a couple of instances

2151
01:38:23,199 --> 01:38:24,560
where, you know, we have some older

2152
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:26,080
people that like to come to games. They

2153
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:28,400
have they literally have to walk from

2154
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,080
all the way over here by the by the

2155
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:31,520
junior high school all the way to the

2156
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:32,400
back of the building because they have

2157
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:34,800
nowhere else to walk.

2158
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:38,960
>> Yeah. And I would say if you're um

2159
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:40,719
wheelchair bound or have difficulty with

2160
01:38:40,719 --> 01:38:42,880
mobility, trying to get to the back of

2161
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:44,560
the softball field, the bleachers down

2162
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,960
that gravel or cobblestone you call it

2163
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,600
path is difficult.

2164
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,199
>> I was just going to say I was at we've

2165
01:38:51,199 --> 01:38:54,239
only been in one game this year was a

2166
01:38:54,239 --> 01:38:56,639
softball game and I watched a woman in a

2167
01:38:56,639 --> 01:38:59,199
motorized wheelchair try to get from

2168
01:38:59,199 --> 01:39:01,520
where the stadium seats are behind the

2169
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:03,440
softball field around to go to the

2170
01:39:03,440 --> 01:39:05,440
restroom.

2171
01:39:05,440 --> 01:39:08,800
I was really It was uncomfortable. It's

2172
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:09,520
hard.

2173
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,000
>> Yeah.

2174
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:17,109
I just wonder

2175
01:39:17,119 --> 01:39:20,790
for people to park

2176
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:22,960
» in the in the black areas but not

2177
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:26,960
actually but yes in the parking area

2178
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:32,390
highlight

2179
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,000
» just go to the tennis courts

2180
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:35,280
>> tennis courts

2181
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:52,149
>> yeah so yes there areapost

2182
01:39:52,159 --> 01:39:57,600
Maybe grandparents would say

2183
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:02,310
that's where I'm at.

2184
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,639
» Do we have any questions about this

2185
01:40:04,639 --> 01:40:08,629
proposal idea?

2186
01:40:08,639 --> 01:40:10,159
uh this will be from existing capital

2187
01:40:10,159 --> 01:40:13,440
funds. So if and I don't mean to make

2188
01:40:13,440 --> 01:40:14,800
anybody sick here, but if we go back

2189
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:18,639
here to the proposed budget,

2190
01:40:18,639 --> 01:40:20,560
it's within our existing capital funds

2191
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:22,000
that we'd be using this for. We would

2192
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,159
not be raising any additional funds to

2193
01:40:24,159 --> 01:40:27,750
make this happen.

2194
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,920
Is that one of the line items or is that

2195
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:33,520
>> Yeah, down here river improvements $4

2196
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:35,600
million

2197
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:39,199
>> and the vote is that is right.

2198
01:40:39,199 --> 01:40:42,639
>> So yeah, the process will be uh process

2199
01:40:42,639 --> 01:40:44,560
that superintendent works with me to

2200
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:46,159
develop a budget. He tells me what the

2201
01:40:46,159 --> 01:40:48,239
priorities are. We put the numbers

2202
01:40:48,239 --> 01:40:50,800
together in the budget book to publish

2203
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:52,880
for the public to consume and all wells

2204
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:56,159
the board and then in June we will have

2205
01:40:56,159 --> 01:40:58,320
a vote on what is going to be the

2206
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:01,600
proposed budget.

2207
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,560
So I the plan is to include that in the

2208
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:06,400
budget for for the board to consider in

2209
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:08,800
June.

2210
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,280
>> Yes.

2211
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,040
Uh

2212
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:14,960
then we essentially have permission from

2213
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:16,239
the board to start the construction

2214
01:41:16,239 --> 01:41:18,239
planning process to go through

2215
01:41:18,239 --> 01:41:20,960
engineering design and go get bids. I

2216
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:23,119
wouldn't anticipate that happening being

2217
01:41:23,119 --> 01:41:25,679
starting construction before the fall,

2218
01:41:25,679 --> 01:41:28,080
possibly next spring on many parts of

2219
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:29,520
this. There's some parts we can do.

2220
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:32,320
Parking lot's easy to do, but uh the

2221
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:34,800
field moves and the other parts of it

2222
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,600
would take more time.

2223
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:42,159
So, an immediate need would be access to

2224
01:41:42,159 --> 01:41:44,639
the Niatoran parking lot because right

2225
01:41:44,639 --> 01:41:47,199
now we have one access. It's on the

2226
01:41:47,199 --> 01:41:50,480
north and it's right where the new

2227
01:41:50,480 --> 01:41:53,840
seminary building would be built. So,

2228
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,719
before next school year starts, there's

2229
01:41:56,719 --> 01:41:58,880
a non-negotiable that we have to have

2230
01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:01,520
access into that parking lot. Even if

2231
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:05,360
it's just a roadbased road, those can be

2232
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:09,600
difficult to push snow off of. And that

2233
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,480
field between the Natorium and Bear

2234
01:42:12,480 --> 01:42:15,360
River Middle School is currently flood

2235
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:17,040
irrigated.

2236
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:18,880
So, there are some considerations that

2237
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,840
we do need to deal with before students

2238
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:23,760
are back in school next fall or

2239
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:25,199
immediately because as soon as the

2240
01:42:25,199 --> 01:42:28,560
seminary as soon as the LDS church takes

2241
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:32,960
over that area, we lose our access. So,

2242
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:34,000
we're going to have to do that in

2243
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:36,480
conjunction with them fencing off that

2244
01:42:36,480 --> 01:42:37,040
section.

2245
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:38,560
>> I would add that's probably the least

2246
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:41,119
costly part of this project. It's the

2247
01:42:41,119 --> 01:42:46,470
easiest to uh to do.

2248
01:42:46,480 --> 01:42:48,239
That's also going to take over 100

2249
01:42:48,239 --> 01:42:54,550
parking spaces

2250
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:54,960
building.

2251
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:56,239
>> Yeah, that where they're putting the

2252
01:42:56,239 --> 01:42:58,320
seminary building that we have a ton of

2253
01:42:58,320 --> 01:42:59,600
parking right there that will take

2254
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,080
almost all of that um because of the way

2255
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:03,760
that they access that and the way that

2256
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:06,159
they'll park on it. So, so again, we're

2257
01:43:06,159 --> 01:43:10,950
going from not very much to even less.

2258
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,040
How many current per parking spaces do

2259
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:15,440
we have right now versus how many will

2260
01:43:15,440 --> 01:43:18,880
we have if this is put through?

2261
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:20,719
>> Are we talking about the seminary

2262
01:43:20,719 --> 01:43:23,760
portion or the whole project?

2263
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:25,520
>> Um I don't have an estimate on that, but

2264
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:27,040
that parking lot is a pretty large

2265
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:28,320
parking lot. Let me see if I can read

2266
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:34,480
that what it says. Uh 225 by 49.

2267
01:43:34,480 --> 01:43:37,840
So that's a large 200. It's a nearly a

2268
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:39,280
football field long.

2269
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:40,960
>> It's actually a little bit bigger. I

2270
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:43,360
mean, as far as the whole thing, um

2271
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:46,159
right now there's about 240 spaces in

2272
01:43:46,159 --> 01:43:48,719
the parking lot south of the natiatorum.

2273
01:43:48,719 --> 01:43:50,560
Um that goes all the way over towards

2274
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,600
the um the middle school, that little L

2275
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:57,840
space right there. Um we have about

2276
01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:00,880
180 spaces on the north side of the

2277
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:04,400
natitorium. Um which that will take

2278
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,040
roughly a 100 spots. Um, so then you're

2279
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:08,800
looking at it, but I think it'll

2280
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:09,840
actually take a little bit more than

2281
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:11,280
that because of how you're going to put

2282
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:13,199
the the access points in. I think

2283
01:44:13,199 --> 01:44:15,840
that'll actually take more parking await

2284
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:18,159
as well. I'm pretty sure you're going to

2285
01:44:18,159 --> 01:44:20,239
get at least that much and most likely

2286
01:44:20,239 --> 01:44:23,040
more over here on the practice football

2287
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:24,719
field. It's a bigger space than either

2288
01:44:24,719 --> 01:44:28,080
one of those two are. So,

2289
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:29,760
>> yeah, you will lose Yeah. Yeah. Because

2290
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:31,360
you will have the bus lanes that go

2291
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:35,910
around.

2292
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:37,199
Yes.

2293
01:44:37,199 --> 01:44:40,239
>> But also next to the tennis courts and

2294
01:44:40,239 --> 01:44:42,880
Oh, we get those.

2295
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,440
>> Not yet.

2296
01:44:45,440 --> 01:44:48,639
>> It's just where like your

2297
01:44:48,639 --> 01:44:52,000
>> So we're looking at here some here. When

2298
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:53,920
the seminary comes down, the seminary

2299
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:56,400
will we will raise that and we will make

2300
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,600
it a parking lot. So that's

2301
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,280
>> Yes. 12 months out. Well, we haven't

2302
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,440
decided students or staff, but we will

2303
01:45:03,440 --> 01:45:07,350
have parking.

2304
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:09,199
» My preference is in designing this is

2305
01:45:09,199 --> 01:45:12,000
that staff park behind the school only

2306
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:16,400
and students park up here at the top

2307
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:20,800
and across the road and over here.

2308
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,719
>> So, if I remember right, you said that

2309
01:45:22,719 --> 01:45:25,119
this plan would have all parking

2310
01:45:25,119 --> 01:45:27,520
students and staff in a parking lot, not

2311
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:28,159
on the street.

2312
01:45:28,159 --> 01:45:32,629
>> That's correct.

2313
01:45:32,639 --> 01:45:34,400
goal. I mean, it all depends on how many

2314
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:37,119
kids drive to school, but that that

2315
01:45:37,119 --> 01:45:39,760
would that would go a long way.

2316
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:42,400
>> Well, we we feel like current drivers

2317
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,800
would all fit in this current system

2318
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:46,719
right now.

2319
01:45:46,719 --> 01:45:48,639
>> Current drivers would fit in.

2320
01:45:48,639 --> 01:45:51,760
>> Yes. I mean, if we have three 400 more

2321
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:53,280
students in the future, that's another

2322
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:56,950
conversation.

2323
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,360
Well, if you listen to the Tree Mountain

2324
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:00,639
City Planner minutes, they're looking

2325
01:46:00,639 --> 01:46:02,719
for big developments on Radio Hill. So,

2326
01:46:02,719 --> 01:46:04,400
I think it's more closer to reality than

2327
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:08,709
we wanted to believe.

2328
01:46:08,719 --> 01:46:10,239
Any other questions on this or anything

2329
01:46:10,239 --> 01:46:15,030
we've talked about tonight?

2330
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:16,400
» I think I'd turn it back over to board

2331
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:21,590
president.

2332
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:23,360
» All right. I think we have reached the

2333
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:34,550
end of our agenda. Anyone else?

2334
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:35,520
» Thanks everybody.

2335
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:37,920
>> Reminder 6 o'clock next Wednesday at

2336
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,639
Young Intermediate for the uh reception

2337
01:46:40,639 --> 01:46:44,560
for the retirees and then starts

2338
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:48,070
>> young intermediate

2339
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:49,920
» the reception.

2340
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:51,840
Is that what we call that? The reception

2341
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:55,990
open house.

2342
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,199
That's what it says. Is it?
