We're going to pick off our meeting today.

21
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,200
The very special ceremony we do each year.

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,940
But we recognize the new staff in Lamar,

23
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:24,380
or new license staff in Lamar.

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,340
And so, as we welcome them to the webinar, we're going to hear a little bit about their background.

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,500
And I'm going to hand it over to our APIs, our system principles for instruction in each building.

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,260
We'll introduce each of our new license staff.

27
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:38,880
They're going to ask them to share a little bit about themselves.

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,520
They're going to talk about their name, their role, where they have their degree from,

29
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:46,080
and what they are teaching or what their role is doing.

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,780
And so we're looking toward hearing more about them.

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,380
First off, I'm going to introduce Miranda Moses, our also very new API at the parties,

32
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:55,740

00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,900
Gonsi Valley High School for District 2, thank you.

172
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,880
All right, hello, I am Kiana Dope.

173
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:45,460
I am a new math teacher at Goldberg West.

174
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:47,500
I teach all of the algebraists,

175
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,960
algebra one, algebra two is trig and algebra three.

176
00:10:50,580 --> 00:10:53,400
I am a career changer, this is my first year in education.

177
00:10:53,860 --> 00:10:58,020
I have my bachelor's degree from DePaul University

178
00:10:58,020 --> 00:11:00,100
and my master's from the University of Washington,

179
00:11:00,340 --> 00:11:01,380
both in applied math.

180
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:03,940
I was working in business analytics for a while,

181
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,340
decided it wasn't for me anymore.

182
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:11,100
So I went back to school at National University University to get my certification.

183
00:11:13,020 --> 00:11:15,160
Hello everyone, my name is Albert El Cabaro.

184
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:19,000
I am a Columbia West. I'm a special education teacher.

185
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:23,940
I teach world history and bio. This is my first year teaching.

186
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,640
I graduated from Columbia North High School, Go Panthers.

187
00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:32,180
I've been a TA at Columbia West for 20 years with Go Hill toppers.

188
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,420
I'm coach, girls rustling here at the moment.

189
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800
My final class, you're all on the table.

190
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:42,900
Thank

191
00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:46,870
you.

192
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:47,210
Thank you.

193
00:11:47,850 --> 00:11:48,370
It's you.

194
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:49,850
Thank you.

195
00:11:50,130 --> 00:11:50,270
Thank you.

196
00:11:50,650 --> 00:11:50,930
Thank you.

197
00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:51,670
Thank you.

198
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:52,410
Thank you.

199
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:52,890
Well, thanks.

200
00:11:53,050 --> 00:11:53,330
Thank you.

201
00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:55,590
So we actually do not have reception plans tonight.

202
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:56,370
We're moving forward.

203
00:11:56,510 --> 00:11:58,030
But we're going to go ahead and start at this point.

204
00:11:58,350 --> 00:11:59,910
Just one more round of applause to think of them.

205
00:11:59,990 --> 00:12:00,790
We're joining on.

206
00:12:00,890 --> 00:12:01,710
I'll go to the city.

207
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:03,090
I'm going to take all that fun.

208
00:12:03,270 --> 00:12:03,890
We hear the names.

209
00:12:04,030 --> 00:12:04,370
We need to see.

210
00:12:05,630 --> 00:12:06,890
We're going to take a picture though.

211
00:12:07,150 --> 00:12:08,170
Yes, we should take a picture.

212
00:12:08,450 --> 00:12:09,590
All right, we're going to do it as the last.

213
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:10,270
That's it.

214
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:11,350
You want that?

215
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:12,610
That's what you're standing for nicely.

216
00:12:12,830 --> 00:12:13,490
You're going to get the wall waiting.

217
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:16,090
Come on back up with everybody at one time

218
00:12:16,090 --> 00:12:17,010
and we'll take a picture.

219
00:12:17,390 --> 00:12:18,470
Yeah, we can do two rows.

220
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,620
Three rows of folks.

221
00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:23,660
Maybe I stay a great child.

222
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,400
And then you can call me, guys, let's do a spot better.

223
00:12:26,580 --> 00:12:26,960
Thank you, Tim.

224
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:40,780
Yeah, if we can put, uh, yeah, if we can put heads between shoulders so we can see everybody's.

225
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:42,900
Oh, both of them.

226
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:43,080
Yeah.

227
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,080
What we want to do is hand it out.

228
00:12:46,420 --> 00:12:47,800
And the way we want to do it.

229
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Alright, so long as I can see everybody.

230
00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:51,340
Go.

231
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:53,620
Alright, I can see everyone.

232
00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:54,220
Here we go.

233
00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:55,340
It's a nice looking group.

234
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,420
Do you have a retreat?

235
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Did I check in that range and say anything?

236
00:12:59,060 --> 00:12:59,240
All right.

237
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,580
Here we go.

238
00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:02,420
On three.

239
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,020
One, two, three.

240
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:04,540
And again,

241
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,320
one, two, three.

242
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:08,220
All right.

243
00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:08,740
Thanks for watching.

244
00:13:13,250 --> 00:13:14,250
You're on the tip of the line.

245
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:14,870
Thanks, you know.

246
00:13:15,810 --> 00:13:16,250
Farrowly.

247
00:13:16,570 --> 00:13:17,110
You're on the tip of the line.

248
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:18,530
That's good.

249
00:13:18,810 --> 00:13:19,670
Yeah, be nice.

250
00:13:20,450 --> 00:13:20,570
Good.

251
00:13:20,830 --> 00:13:21,210
Perfect.

252
00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:28,190
Good.

253
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:55,180
public hearing for 2026, 2027, tentative budget. Call to order public hearing. I call

254
00:13:55,180 --> 00:14:01,860
the public hearing to order set to present. Yes. Good evening for education. Really

255
00:14:01,860 --> 00:14:08,520
pleased to come to you tonight to present our 2627 budget. This is a valid public display

256
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,480
and we've not all the requirements necessary to move forward in process standing for public hearing.

257
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:17,880
The presentation about the presentation, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

258
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,740
It's basically exactly the same as when we talked about sport being,

259
00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:26,520
was taking things up right in the presentation, please.

260
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,120
We'll go to the next slide.

261
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,580
So we always like to just talk about the purpose of our budget.

262
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:40,280
it's really supportive to my students who exist here, we've had the history of our balance

263
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,740
budgets, so I would see a position of recognition status in that as well.

264
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,120
We continue to have highest line rates in the state and we do not rely on a short-term

265
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:50,340
borrow.

266
00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:54,980
We go to the next slide, just talking more a little bit about the feeding of this past year,

267
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,440
you're well aware, transportation and emergency transportation services.

268
00:14:59,440 --> 00:14:59,940
This is it, so.

269
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Really impacted the fiscal state of the district. Original safely contracted 8.172 million. We were forced to go into emergency contract services over a six-month period across the 8.97 million. We finished on all the numbers at 17.168 million dollars, which was just over $6 million. I had done a bunch of anticipated amount. So what does that mean for this next year? That pressure continues on the transportation

270
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:39,440
side of the 12-month service for $2.3 million and if the emergency service is in the total

271
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,200
budget, of course, a little bit higher than that with other categories in there at $14.25

272
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,540
million.

273
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:52,520
So the emergency contract portion that is about $4.8 million ahead of the emergency contract

274
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:52,780
service.

275
00:15:54,650 --> 00:16:00,090
So as we go to the next slide, always going to kind of take a big picture, look at our finances

276
00:16:00,090 --> 00:16:05,990
is over the past decade, and we've had a history of learning very close expenditures and revenues

277
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:06,490
on our budgets.

278
00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:10,930
You can see the one exception in the 2020, where we're a little bit higher in expenditures

279
00:16:10,930 --> 00:16:12,350
than the revenues that year.

280
00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:18,150
As you go to the next slide, we've broken out the dollars in each of those years, and it's

281
00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:25,330
really just important to kind of know what the history was, what they were pursuing at

282
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:25,810
the time.

283
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:31,670
In 2016, there were no dollars transferred into capital projects at the time because there

284
00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:36,830
was a referendum passed and that was where they were going to say, try and reusing those

285
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:37,790
referendum dollars.

286
00:16:38,290 --> 00:16:43,010
From those capital projects, it was lean but it was sufficient to continue to work on some

287
00:16:43,010 --> 00:16:46,650
of those things to keep the buildings up to speed and operate.

288
00:16:47,570 --> 00:16:54,110
During that period of time, there were surpluses ran, we got into the COVID period, I came

289
00:16:54,110 --> 00:16:57,970
and in 21, so that's kind of mid-COVID area as well.

290
00:16:58,770 --> 00:17:02,550
And at that time, once those proceeds from bonds

291
00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:05,290
were no longer used, became district practice

292
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:08,310
to make transfers into the capital projects funds

293
00:17:08,690 --> 00:17:10,070
in order to fund capital projects.

294
00:17:10,170 --> 00:17:12,050
And so that's what was done over that period

295
00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:15,790
at time, $24.75 million was transferred in the capital projects.

296
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:19,850
Again, it continued to pursue warm safe drive projects.

297
00:17:20,510 --> 00:17:22,130
On the column on the far right,

298
00:17:22,130 --> 00:17:27,170
What you'll see is during hyperinflation, we talked about this a lot at the board table

299
00:17:27,170 --> 00:17:33,390
looking at how we could try to soften the global on an annual basis by debating the debt

300
00:17:33,390 --> 00:17:37,950
service portion of the levy, and that was done the $4.25.

301
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,640
So as we get into the budget itself, the budget process is ultimately by year-round process.

302
00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:52,080
So I actually just started this past week to look at the tax level for next year as we

303
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:59,480
as we prepare those documents and we'll see in November we then very quickly get into our

304
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,780
five projections and then we look at our at the allocation which is how we generate our projections

305
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:10,320
for the majority of our budget which is staffing. Once we have those set we develop those budgets

306
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:17,140
with our bill you administration work through all those details in the budget and then we eventually

307
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,800
as we get into this frame sort of reviewing budget draft one and then we go through the board

308
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,160
review process. So we've been undergoing that. So a little bit later this year, we've been

309
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:31,000
negotiating stake in place in a few weeks behind General Artificial Schedule over a rare kind of

310
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,020
on track to make that approval by the end of September, which is a required sketch growth.

311
00:18:38,260 --> 00:18:43,900
So to look at our key budget themes, we've seen declines over the past three years of about

312
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:49,240
one percent. Our budget is around $30 per month, so you know, one percent's a pretty significant amount

313
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:55,720
budget that size. We continue to see special education and help place costs, far outgasing

314
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,080
costs inflation. This district has a great relationship with our health insurance committee.

315
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,520
Mr. Rowan's been sitting in some of those meetings. It's really important that we work together

316
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,340
on our plan design because we are self-assured and we've been able to contain those costs

317
00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:16,500
working together. This past year has been a little bit more challenging

318
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:19,900
the most and that's going to impact our budget a little bit more than it has to pass.

319
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:27,640
Salaries, while they continue to rise, have been offset by retiring teachers and staff.

320
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:32,980
So it's good to have some long-term agreements in place because that makes forecasting the

321
00:19:32,980 --> 00:19:33,780
future much easier.

322
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:39,920
And then lastly, we talked a lot about the facility improvements that you can see that are capital

323
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,600
projects fund.

324
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,820
We also this year will have solar-revates that help offset the version of our expenses.

325
00:19:47,070 --> 00:19:53,090
So the board answered the administration, the folks behind me, and the bill, the administrator,

326
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:59,170
administrators, had worked very hard to find and identify some cost reduction measures as

327
00:19:59,170 --> 00:20:04,730
we came out of the negotiations, knowing that we were facing a potential deficit.

328
00:20:05,390 --> 00:20:10,230
And so, we prioritized some of those wanting to make cuts, and we made cuts in our technology,

329
00:20:11,630 --> 00:20:20,930
with our conversation, but they, NIS team, we looked at our events having looked at how we can better prepare based on historical trends.

330
00:20:21,390 --> 00:20:26,190
We looked at our contingency accounts and opportunities to turn to those areas.

331
00:20:27,090 --> 00:20:31,290
Our team did a wonderful job negotiating discounts to existing contracts.

332
00:20:31,950 --> 00:20:35,770
We have great relationships with vendors, people who want to work with District 87.

333
00:20:35,770 --> 00:20:40,590
and when we call them asking them to sharpen their pencils, even though they're not required

334
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:44,370
to do that or in contract, they do work with us the best that they can and you're able

335
00:20:44,370 --> 00:20:49,210
to see some discounts provided in that, and then also looking at just right sizing some

336
00:20:49,210 --> 00:20:54,470
of these budget accounts to make sure that over time as you add inflationary costs, sometimes

337
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:56,870
those are not necessary, so those are functions as well.

338
00:20:58,270 --> 00:21:03,110
We continue to take a very conservative approach on our revenue side because there's a lot

339
00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:08,470
certainly, and even in the last few weeks, we've seen different inflationary trends and we've

340
00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:12,250
seen different news from this view about where our projections are going to come out. So the

341
00:21:12,250 --> 00:21:16,450
budget that you're about to review and eventually approved the thing of the month will have very

342
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:18,450
conservative projections as you do.

343
00:21:20,670 --> 00:21:24,010
Under our budget summary, this really kind of gives it a

344
00:21:24,010 --> 00:21:28,690
breakdown of our operating funds. Again, our fund balances in the left, it's going to vary based

345
00:21:28,690 --> 00:21:32,870
on our audit or final audit, which you'll see in about a month and a half to two months.

346
00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:41,190
And what you're going to see is an operating fund surplus prior to the required transfers

347
00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:42,350
that we make for our ass funds.

348
00:21:42,610 --> 00:21:47,430
So we call that kind of the above the lines at surplus, but when we have to make those transfers

349
00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:52,230
into the air response, it will put us into about a two and a half million dollar budgeted

350
00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:52,550
deficit.

351
00:21:53,470 --> 00:21:57,530
And it's important to say that that's budgeted because we're well aware of opportunities

352
00:21:57,530 --> 00:22:00,490
And we're going to pursue opportunities to bring that in mind throughout the year.

353
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:04,930
The top is our operating funds, the bottom is our restricted funds.

354
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:10,950
So we look at all funds, we're at a deficit of about 39 and a half million dollars.

355
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:15,610
But that is to plan deficit as we went through our referendum projects.

356
00:22:16,210 --> 00:22:17,390
We issue bonds.

357
00:22:17,390 --> 00:22:20,950
And so we have surplus this past year that will finish with all funds.

358
00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:24,790
And now it's just a timing issue when we're actually going to have those construction bills

359
00:22:24,790 --> 00:22:25,090
hit.

360
00:22:25,090 --> 00:22:30,030
are any fund malls projected about $167 million.

361
00:22:34,050 --> 00:22:37,450
So in the state of Illinois, things are always done a little bit differently.

362
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:42,790
And so CPI is actually, it's sort of price index is the largest area

363
00:22:42,790 --> 00:22:44,190
that impacts the revenue side.

364
00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:47,610
What we can capture in terms of our tax levies.

365
00:22:48,350 --> 00:22:49,610
And it's split over two years.

366
00:22:50,010 --> 00:22:54,490
So the 25-bloody at 2.9% and the 26-bloody at 2.7%

367
00:22:54,490 --> 00:22:59,450
are blended together, which in this case is actually pretty tightly correlated.

368
00:22:59,550 --> 00:23:01,630
Some years we get a lot of variation in those two seed guys.

369
00:23:02,350 --> 00:23:08,610
But the total levy revenue is a combination of those about half of the 25 and 26 levies.

370
00:23:08,730 --> 00:23:12,430
And so for our budget, that reflects about 172 and a half million dollars.

371
00:23:12,990 --> 00:23:14,230
On the

372
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,200
next slide is just the pie chart and the breakdown.

373
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:23,660
And as you'd expect, 172 and a half has got a large portion of our budget.

374
00:23:23,660 --> 00:23:27,640
It's actually from a percentage basis a little bit smaller this year because we are intending

375
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:34,000
to issue the final third and final round of our friend of odds at about $48,000,000, so

376
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,240
that's taking a larger slice of the pie, so I'm coming here.

377
00:23:40,130 --> 00:23:46,630
So some of these categories we've been faced with are challenges when we look at our revenue

378
00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:47,070
sources.

379
00:23:47,450 --> 00:23:52,970
The L line is our other local sources and included in that is our consumer corporate property

380
00:23:52,970 --> 00:23:57,970
replacement tax, which is a measure kind of the health of local economy. We have

381
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:01,590
seen some drops in that area. I did mention the last board meeting when the

382
00:24:01,590 --> 00:24:05,590
projections came out, they were above what we had anticipated. I think every

383
00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:11,710
district who's a bit surprised by that bounce back, but in reality, it's still

384
00:24:11,710 --> 00:24:16,810
down from our eye, back in 2023. When you look at the federal side,

385
00:24:16,990 --> 00:24:21,650
coming out of the ESR funds in the COVID area, there will be continued to see three

386
00:24:21,650 --> 00:24:29,190
decreases on the federal side. And today, pretty stable on the state side. The other

387
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:34,930
space funding formula has provided a lost ability. We've seen a moderate increase to those

388
00:24:34,930 --> 00:24:39,930
allocations in that way, keeping up with the consumer price index and inflation, but still

389
00:24:40,670 --> 00:24:46,930
positive. We're starting to see a lot more proliferation on the categories at the top of that.

390
00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:52,950
So are you saying in other, I'm just going to ask the question, are you saying in other

391
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:54,930
as a reflective of the CPPRG?

392
00:24:55,410 --> 00:24:56,390
Yes, that's okay.

393
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:06,700
So looking at our budget highlights on the review side, we talked about the property tax

394
00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:07,100
levy.

395
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:13,360
When you take into account the new construction, they get an increase of, I just over 5%, our

396
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:18,140
collection rate is very strong, care as it is in most of the page county to pay at 1%,

397
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,340
estimate sometimes when you get as high as 99.8%.

398
00:25:23,380 --> 00:25:27,700
We have forecasted a decrease in CB parity and talked about that.

399
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:35,060
They get the last meeting where, in reality, those estimates are higher, but we're going to stay conservative on those numbers.

400
00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:40,120
School income, we've seen a vast improvement to our flashings.

401
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,940
We talked about this at a committee meeting.

402
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:44,260
A couple folks in my department came.

403
00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:45,660
Leo is a fantastic child.

404
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:51,840
the building, the APS and the APOs, it's a fantastic shout out of working to capture the collections,

405
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,880
use those areas, and that's especially paid off. On the interesting side, we're seeing stability

406
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:06,520
to rates. In fact, they continue to grow in some areas over the last six months. So we do

407
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,800
see a decrease, but that's not necessarily due to the rates. It's due to the effective

408
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,440
of balances are going to get spent down as we look at the construction project.

409
00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:21,680
That is based funding again, again, very stable. We are at tier three district, which means we're

410
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:28,340
above 90% adequacy and below 100% adequacy. So our slice of the pie is very small, about 21%

411
00:26:28,340 --> 00:26:37,100
of the money. So that's, you know, about 150, $70,000 typically annually. We are on a

412
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:41,160
and categorical growth side, seeing the increased correlation, the estimates from the state

413
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,980
or most recent estimates are somewhere between about 55% and 65% proliferation of our transportation

414
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:54,320
claim or especially the private facility claim, so that is a larger proliferation that we've

415
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,120
seen in fact downward of the correlation.

416
00:26:57,940 --> 00:27:02,020
And on the federal side, we've actually stabilized a bit there because Medicaid has gone up.

417
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:08,520
So we look at our revenue variants pretty much everything on here.

418
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,100
I'm like last time we've talked about as you go down the bottom of this,

419
00:27:12,140 --> 00:27:17,220
you'll see that certificate's were shown a decrease in 32 minutes because

420
00:27:17,220 --> 00:27:21,720
we had the violations of 80 prior year, everything else.

421
00:27:21,820 --> 00:27:24,040
I think we touch on, so

422
00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:28,650
we'll keep them on on the expenditure side of things.

423
00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:35,690
Once again, salaries, benefits, and versus services are all kind of the largest group of

424
00:27:35,690 --> 00:27:35,750
them.

425
00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:36,770
You could put those collectively.

426
00:27:36,990 --> 00:27:41,510
We do have a significant amount of services in the district because we have so much

427
00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:46,870
transportation, we have so much food service, we have so much potential service, and also

428
00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:51,030
our physical services, so those are large areas that are in that category.

429
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:57,450
Again, percentage-wise can be misleading because we have $90 million of construction to capital

430
00:27:57,450 --> 00:27:58,130
products plan.

431
00:27:58,130 --> 00:28:02,290
So, you would see that's about a third of our budget, which will be the highest we'll

432
00:28:02,290 --> 00:28:02,550
have.

433
00:28:03,130 --> 00:28:07,310
So, through, for us, the time for this kind of an attempt last year.

434
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:10,680
Next slide.

435
00:28:11,740 --> 00:28:18,480
So, our highlights here are salaries and savings after accounting for our staffing plan and accounting

436
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,380
for tirements for around 4% in police.

437
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:28,720
Our health insurance benefits, we moved this up last time at about 6.8% but the kids didn't

438
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:38,060
We will, the next meeting we thought about our renewal, just a reminder that our increases

439
00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:42,960
come on January 1, so it's halfway through the fiscal year, so our increase will actually

440
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,420
be above that 6.8% of the count for the entire year.

441
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:55,500
On the supply side, that's mostly the 7.9% is mostly related to transportation fuel, which

442
00:28:55,500 --> 00:29:01,380
been increasing is, you know, purchase services or their transportation contract, but also

443
00:29:01,380 --> 00:29:02,060
under contract.

444
00:29:02,380 --> 00:29:07,800
So, it's settling in an average of about 18 to 2 percent, and we talked about our special

445
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,280
private tuition report being significantly higher this year.

446
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,580
The next one on our expenditures is kind of the things that fall outside of our operating

447
00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:26,100
expenses are capital outweighed, $13.5 million increase from the prior year, which is roughly

448
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:35,460
roughly 20% of those are both ARS and referendum bonds and 10 million is recommended from fund

449
00:29:35,460 --> 00:29:42,120
20 to crop or any census. And on the death side again, it increased around 20%. Death

450
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:48,320
side has those bonds essentially a portion to be paid off, so that increases the rate.

451
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:57,500
On the various analysis, again, I pretty much get on all these things. You can see the

452
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:57,720
Good.

453
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,140
The arm.

454
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,960
Benefits area, again, what I think we would really want to keep monitoring of everything else, who, with

455
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:11,260
festive honor, totally increase to an interest side of just under 10%. Our

456
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,880
next step, so this is the last formal presentation.

457
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,900
After the public hearing tonight, there is no action tonight. We will come back on 28th. It's going to look for approval.

458
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:31,920
We are statutorily required to approve by September 30th. Any questions?

459
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,020
I

460
00:30:38,710 --> 00:30:47,710
have a quick question. So clearly the impact of having to provide emergency transportation

461
00:30:48,390 --> 00:30:55,250
as had a negative impact on us, which we anticipated, but we also realized that we have to provide

462
00:30:55,250 --> 00:31:01,150
transportation to students. So it's not like, you know, I know there's been some discussion

463
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:06,690
of whether or not the change in the school day forces to do that. But in fact, we chose

464
00:31:06,690 --> 00:31:16,110
a vendor who came with a reference background who simply was crushed by I think the size

465
00:31:16,110 --> 00:31:22,010
of our contract or the difficulties in our contract but it had no impact of the change

466
00:31:22,010 --> 00:31:24,430
of the school day except when we changed vendors.

467
00:31:26,830 --> 00:31:33,750
So you know we are in this predicament of emergency service which is costing us a lot of money

468
00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:42,690
but we still have to get kids to school and that's going exceedingly well, but we're paying the price.

469
00:31:43,370 --> 00:31:50,050
So the question is how do we kind of knowing that pull back on some of this.

470
00:31:50,330 --> 00:31:56,830
I also know we're a little bit of a flux right because we're going to have some timing differences with construction.

471
00:31:57,590 --> 00:32:05,810
Before we get our next slow money from referendum, but we're still okay because we do have contingency,

472
00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:17,010
meaning we still have reserve balances that will support these kind of higher or more volatile conditions.

473
00:32:18,090 --> 00:32:24,370
Until we can get to that point where three quarters through our construction and things kind of smooth out again.

474
00:32:25,190 --> 00:32:30,390
Yeah, that's absolutely accurate, and I think that this is to your last point about

475
00:32:30,390 --> 00:32:31,270
preserves, right?

476
00:32:31,390 --> 00:32:37,010
Like we'll be talking in November 2nd about kind of our financial targets and things

477
00:32:37,010 --> 00:32:37,490
of that nature.

478
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:43,870
It's really important as we look ahead next year, next five or projections that we're all

479
00:32:43,870 --> 00:32:48,570
understanding some of the financial pressures that we have understanding where those targets

480
00:32:48,570 --> 00:32:53,150
need to be, because to your point, we actually have reserves to allow the storm, but we all

481
00:32:53,150 --> 00:32:58,850
also to be mindful that we can't continue that path of having recurring costs that continue

482
00:32:58,850 --> 00:32:59,670
to help pace.

483
00:33:00,110 --> 00:33:00,650
Oh, absolutely.

484
00:33:01,230 --> 00:33:01,610
Yeah.

485
00:33:02,090 --> 00:33:06,890
I think knowing that, I mean, I'm actually thinking maybe our projections need to go

486
00:33:06,890 --> 00:33:12,610
up the end five years, just so we can see that smoothness and maybe it will reveal kind

487
00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:13,450
of where we need to go.

488
00:33:14,990 --> 00:33:16,370
You know, we're in this predicament.

489
00:33:16,510 --> 00:33:21,890
We have to provide transportation, unfortunately we had a vendor who wasn't up to fulfill

490
00:33:21,890 --> 00:33:24,630
the land and contract, and we couldn't continue.

491
00:33:25,330 --> 00:33:29,670
I think we set out the directive to you

492
00:33:29,670 --> 00:33:31,490
that we had to get kids to school

493
00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:35,110
and we had done that since last January.

494
00:33:36,670 --> 00:33:38,790
So no matter what we would have done

495
00:33:40,430 --> 00:33:41,990
from a scheduling standpoint,

496
00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:44,090
that would have really had no impact on this.

497
00:33:45,070 --> 00:33:47,170
I so I want the public to understand that

498
00:33:47,170 --> 00:33:49,630
and I want the public to understand where we are

499
00:33:49,630 --> 00:33:59,010
And that we're, you know, we're looking out those five years and beyond as we get beyond this, you know, has a lot of little time.

500
00:34:00,030 --> 00:34:08,150
You know, you talked about the CPP RT and it going down, but the reality is the CPP RT was inflated during COVID.

501
00:34:08,830 --> 00:34:11,750
And so we're probably really seeing it more normalize.

502
00:34:12,210 --> 00:34:13,390
Yeah, that is fair.

503
00:34:13,390 --> 00:34:22,430
Yeah, and now we do have some things in here that we're going to we're making up for last year like some timing on transportation or transportation reimbursement, right?

504
00:34:22,970 --> 00:34:32,010
So we've got some things that we know we're going to come and soften what's going to happen here, and I know we're usually pretty conservative and even on our expense side.

505
00:34:32,010 --> 00:34:40,330
I am curious though, because we do have now more flexibility in our insurance, in our

506
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:46,170
insurance plans, our research-desert expenditures that we're seeing, or we have seen over

507
00:34:46,170 --> 00:34:52,350
the last few months that have made this a little bit more elevated, because we do have

508
00:34:52,350 --> 00:34:54,030
more flexibility than we ever had.

509
00:34:54,370 --> 00:34:59,070
Yeah, we have a large number of high cost payments that have had, right?

510
00:34:59,070 --> 00:35:03,510
And so, in those cases, you know, because we're self-insured, those are hard to forecast.

511
00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:04,570
Right.

512
00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:08,550
And when we get those really high-possed claimants, it makes a significant impact to our

513
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:08,710
opinion.

514
00:35:08,930 --> 00:35:10,610
So that's the primary reason for it.

515
00:35:10,910 --> 00:35:11,130
Okay.

516
00:35:11,810 --> 00:35:15,590
But in those cases, our stock gap, we do have stock gap.

517
00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:16,970
So our stock losses is...

518
00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:18,030
So our stock loss, yeah.

519
00:35:18,610 --> 00:35:18,970
It helps.

520
00:35:19,850 --> 00:35:26,010
But still, by the time you get to that point, we start tracking those, there were 50,000

521
00:35:26,010 --> 00:35:28,250
or kind of stock losses, or 75,000.

522
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:36,970
So anybody over 50s considered the high cost claimant and we're at somewhere around 34x and typical year. Right. OK.

523
00:35:37,930 --> 00:35:43,870
The other thing I want to think we should kind of think about and I know we're going to take a little bit deeper dive on this.

524
00:35:43,870 --> 00:35:52,490
You know, the one thing we can do to some degree is hold off on some of the capital, but,

525
00:35:52,690 --> 00:35:58,370
you know, we know when we did these ARS bonds, that was going to be part of our operations.

526
00:35:59,630 --> 00:36:00,230
You know, it's real.

527
00:36:01,450 --> 00:36:03,050
So that and those nervousness.

528
00:36:05,350 --> 00:36:11,630
But, you know, how do we begin to look at this more closely, but obviously keeping

529
00:36:14,570 --> 00:36:19,170
I don't want to say cuts because people want to interpret that in a different way, but keeping

530
00:36:19,170 --> 00:36:26,930
those expenses as close as we can to the budget so that we can end timing, right?

531
00:36:27,090 --> 00:36:29,730
We want to make sure things are timed in the right period.

532
00:36:30,430 --> 00:36:35,990
I think it's looking at it and looking at how liars come into play, like that bus thing hit

533
00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:41,410
all of us at no idea, and we weathered the storm and got through it, but we learned a lot

534
00:36:41,410 --> 00:36:50,610
We are going to talk quite a little later on in how we're looking at it moving forward what options we have with the current assets of the own compared to our agreements with Durham and first.

535
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:57,570
Even for student so I think to add to that you know what mechanisms can be put in place to be more predictive.

536
00:36:58,190 --> 00:37:10,830
Or just unless it's learned or one thing but something else can completely happen and I feel like a lot happened this year that was not anticipated for what steps can we take going into the future that we can weather this

537
00:37:10,830 --> 00:37:11,890
I'm a bit more.

538
00:37:12,850 --> 00:37:13,910
Yeah, that's a great point.

539
00:37:14,090 --> 00:37:18,530
I mean, you just, just by going out to bid, which will be both will have the,

540
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:20,110
the biz out sometime in that program.

541
00:37:21,210 --> 00:37:23,730
We'll have that approved by the end of January.

542
00:37:25,190 --> 00:37:27,390
So we're looking for a long term contract.

543
00:37:28,270 --> 00:37:30,810
That's a cost that we're at now in emergency contract services.

544
00:37:31,130 --> 00:37:34,730
I don't, I don't see exponential increases, right?

545
00:37:34,890 --> 00:37:36,430
Then that will stabilize.

546
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:40,370
Just been enough to sell because of the process to what extent?

547
00:37:40,370 --> 00:37:41,750
And we'll see where the market's at.

548
00:37:41,930 --> 00:37:43,330
I know the bidding market is tough.

549
00:37:43,350 --> 00:37:45,370
We don't have a ton of competitors that can take on

550
00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:47,170
a district of our size.

551
00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:50,670
If you think bigger is better, but in this case,

552
00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:51,970
and the state of the world will fight,

553
00:37:52,290 --> 00:37:55,030
there aren't a lot of vendors that can take on the size,

554
00:37:55,150 --> 00:37:57,270
but we are gonna have a competitive bid process,

555
00:37:57,510 --> 00:37:59,430
and they think that we'll see some good value back.

556
00:37:59,470 --> 00:38:01,090
I thought there was one new competitor,

557
00:38:01,090 --> 00:38:03,030
Wassera, who came into Illinois,

558
00:38:03,510 --> 00:38:04,530
or it's coming into Illinois.

559
00:38:05,670 --> 00:38:07,350
Well, I'm sure this is the one you're talking about,

560
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:12,230
I don't want to mess, is considering it, I have not heard if they're actually going to

561
00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:12,250
...

562
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:12,610
I got to.

563
00:38:13,930 --> 00:38:14,330
...

564
00:38:14,330 --> 00:38:19,190
Right now we know that the three companies that are large and, you know, are interested

565
00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:22,050
in our services, we're still in the dirt and stuff.

566
00:38:34,090 --> 00:38:35,410
Any more questions on the board?

567
00:38:35,790 --> 00:38:39,570
Well, I'm getting 2% from the federal government, too, but I think I'm going to go lower.

568
00:38:39,730 --> 00:38:41,210
Do we see any improvement in that?

569
00:38:42,410 --> 00:38:43,650
It can go a while lower.

570
00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:44,970
I think that just ...

571
00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:46,610
I mean, it's a great question.

572
00:38:46,610 --> 00:38:49,470
I mean, I think we're in a pretty good spot right now.

573
00:38:49,690 --> 00:38:51,670
I mean, it's just hard to predict the federal side of things.

574
00:38:52,590 --> 00:38:55,170
But I think that's probably about where we'll stay.

575
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:55,810
I don't see it really.

576
00:38:58,620 --> 00:39:02,520
So how long those lines?

577
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:05,780
There was just, I thought I'd just start an announcement today.

578
00:39:06,060 --> 00:39:10,020
We are members of the Department of Education

579
00:39:10,020 --> 00:39:12,220
that were focused on special education,

580
00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:16,660
are moving over to HHS.

581
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,480
And so there's been some, I think that's something we're going to have to watch.

582
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,320
It was said that, you know, kids would get, you know, special ed children would still

583
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:36,220
receive the services according to, you know, the, as the American disabilities, I don't know,

584
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:41,620
Janet, but now this, but we're, you know, you put in a least restrictive situation to, you know,

585
00:39:41,620 --> 00:39:50,780
to be educated, but I don't know. The person who was head of special education with the Department of Education just resigned.

586
00:39:51,260 --> 00:39:56,000
So I'm a little alarmed, and as you speak, she'll come back.

587
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:03,640
Yeah, and I'm a little also alarmed about Medicaid as well, because we know that those Medicaid cuts are coming.

588
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:10,400
So there's two things in there. One was the statement about funding that currently hits

589
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:16,020
the schools for students with disabilities moving over to each of your tests. That is our

590
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:22,260
Department of Rehab funding and we do have a sizable grant with them. We're working directly

591
00:40:22,260 --> 00:40:27,140
with the State Director as she is working with the governor and then they with the Fed.

592
00:40:28,220 --> 00:40:33,240
I see optimistic signs but they haven't released everything yet. It doesn't look like that

593
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:37,280
something that's getting cut that's really not on their radar. As a matter of fact, they

594
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:43,500
re-did their website, HHS said, and there's pages you can find that talk optimistically

595
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:50,300
about the impact these dollars have on young people attaining employment goals, having

596
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:54,780
those secondary goals, all of those pieces, and that's the work of directing thoughts.

597
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,120
So I think that's an optimistic signal. But of course, whatever goes change, right?

598
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,140
you need to keep close eye on it and I understand that, but I think those are optimistic signals around

599
00:41:05,140 --> 00:41:10,820
that shift that it's under each of us, but it doesn't look like it's going away at this point

600
00:41:10,820 --> 00:41:16,980
with signals like that. The second thing that you were mentioning was, I'm, I'm forgetting,

601
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:25,880
Medicaid. Medicaid at every time that there is an election and somewhere to change, Medicaid's

602
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:34,100
going to go and it hasn't. It is sustained. I think that is a signal of wheat. We've done

603
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:41,300
this before and it stands right now. We've received no direction and are medicated claiming to change,

604
00:41:41,660 --> 00:41:50,800
no warning that it may be on a block, nothing like that. Again, in that area, I'm not as concerned.

605
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:57,680
right, because at every time there is a change at the federal level that comes to the topic

606
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:03,500
and then it says, that's good news. I think that's your feeling, you can't, but we can

607
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:07,580
leave you on those two, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes me feel better. But it sounds

608
00:42:07,580 --> 00:42:16,800
like our placements are up, that we're 23% on, 23% change in expenditure. Yes.

609
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,060
We only have the ability to see so much, right?

610
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,220
So it's unpredictable.

611
00:42:28,340 --> 00:42:31,280
And you do the best you can to estimate every year.

612
00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:39,580
I made a reduction back based on prior history of having some surplus there.

613
00:42:39,980 --> 00:42:42,240
And then we got a lot more.

614
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:48,620
I didn't know what Jennifer did and then some so some of this year looks to be similar.

615
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,120
So we experienced last year, so we're raising that back up.

616
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,880
So that's 23.9% and give a little bit to see.

617
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,860
That that number is kind of budget to budget as opposed to like, right?

618
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:01,100
We're going just trending off the actuals.

619
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,800
But yeah, it's a huge problem.

620
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,500
And we're not doing once our peers are seeing very smart.

621
00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:24,980
And then they have to deal with all of the inflation issues that any other organization needs to deal with, and then it is case by case, what do we need to be, you know, layering and for this young person's individual needs?

622
00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:35,540
Yes, the numbers, the severity of need, all drives that up.

623
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,500
Thank you, thank you.

624
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,400
I would like to open the floor for public comments.

625
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:53,180
Would anybody like to address the board regarding the 2026, 2027 tentative bodies?

626
00:43:53,180 --> 00:43:56,680
Please use the yellow participation form.

627
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,100
Let's see this.

628
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,060
Before you begin, I'm just going to read our policy on the participation.

629
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,360
Okay, we just asked that you keep your comments limited to three minutes.

630
00:44:14,980 --> 00:44:20,720
It is not the requisite for management team to respond your comments and questions during this meeting.

631
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:25,900
to be good with personal staff and students or other members of the

632
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:29,720
one-ward community are encouraged to present the complaints first to the appropriate

633
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:34,740
district representative. We have speakers to address the people at one at a time.

634
00:44:35,420 --> 00:44:39,640
Individuals may not extend their treatment and allotment by using another individual

635
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:45,760
frequency as we listen to the public input. We ask that the audience to read a rainfall cladding,

636
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,360
making remarks or to strike or being in a distraction in any way.

637
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,460
Profounding interruption and or other interference would work.

638
00:44:55,020 --> 00:44:57,300
No, no, the meeting are not permitted.

639
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,280
Thank you.

640
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:28,840
I am ready, boy. I wanted to talk a little bit about this net operating deficit that was identified in the memo as well as in the budget presentation. When I see a net operation deficit, I don't really think that's a balanced budget that maybe perhaps you do. I'd like clarification on that at some point to see if we align or what we don't align. I will start with some questions, just so I don't run out of time.

641
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,440
I'd like to know,

642
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:38,940
will the board pass a budget with this negative, not being aligned?

643
00:45:39,420 --> 00:45:41,580
The book about not being aligned and balanced.

644
00:45:42,540 --> 00:45:47,920
Did the teacher contract cause any of this budgetary issues?

645
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,840
I think that the teacher's contract was recently negotiated.

646
00:45:52,820 --> 00:45:56,580
It said how a hand in this wasn't mentioned, but I think it should be addressed.

647
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:07,740
What cuts, if any, were made to get to the $2.5 million deficit, and can this be identified

648
00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:10,800
with the actual values amounts totaled?

649
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:17,920
I think that would help the public understand the predictor we're in with this budget.

650
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:19,920
I

651
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:32,080
would say, this is a different way of running a budget from my experience of doing the

652
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:39,140
same with similar types of dollars, never considered going before client with an unbalanced

653
00:46:39,140 --> 00:46:39,680
budget.

654
00:46:43,070 --> 00:46:50,130
I just, I think that, I think the end, I'm not sure, I guess we should say this, I see a pattern

655
00:46:50,130 --> 00:46:52,990
that's being developed with budgets.

656
00:46:54,150 --> 00:46:57,990
Search was the referendum that was approved at $312 million.

657
00:47:00,810 --> 00:47:03,010
And we know that was the original budget,

658
00:47:03,190 --> 00:47:06,970
but the original budget is really just a column on a sheet of paper.

659
00:47:07,330 --> 00:47:13,810
And the actual costs are very up to $373 million, $341 million,

660
00:47:14,190 --> 00:47:15,930
and perhaps coming down, but nonetheless,

661
00:47:15,930 --> 00:47:23,490
Why can't we just honor the three hundred and twelve million dollar budget, same goes with today's budget?

662
00:47:24,790 --> 00:47:26,690
I mean, it just is unbalanced.

663
00:47:28,010 --> 00:47:29,490
That's why I see it as unbalanced.

664
00:47:29,850 --> 00:47:37,670
And so why would the board not request or demand that the administration balance the budget?

665
00:47:38,710 --> 00:47:40,710
Why would you approve an unbalanced budget?

666
00:47:40,710 --> 00:47:49,990
It just makes no sense to me at all, but there is a pattern on how the finance group handles

667
00:47:49,990 --> 00:47:50,550
the money.

668
00:47:50,850 --> 00:47:55,330
And I think you should, if you are unaware of that, we haven't looked at it in a big

669
00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:55,770
picture.

670
00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:58,530
I think it would be worth your time to do that.

671
00:47:59,150 --> 00:47:59,650
Thank you.

672
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:07,860
Do you have any other comments?

673
00:48:14,540 --> 00:48:14,600
Okay.

674
00:48:15,460 --> 00:48:18,780
So you know, for the comments, do I have a motion of close public hearing in the next

675
00:48:18,780 --> 00:48:20,020
in the regular session.

676
00:48:26,540 --> 00:48:27,040
Yes.

677
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:28,420
Yes.

678
00:48:28,420 --> 00:48:28,520
Yes.

679
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,380
Do

680
00:48:36,590 --> 00:48:41,790
I have a motion to approve the minutes of the April 24th, 2026 regular meeting and a

681
00:48:41,790 --> 00:48:43,250
host such a meeting as presented?

682
00:48:44,290 --> 00:48:45,930
So are there any corrections?

683
00:48:45,930 --> 00:48:46,170
Bye, no questions.

684
00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:46,790
Bye,

685
00:48:55,380 --> 00:48:55,780
the satany.

686
00:48:56,380 --> 00:48:56,520
Sure.

687
00:48:57,820 --> 00:48:58,900
Oh, was it?

688
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:01,740
It looks like a bad motion.

689
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,380
By everything is called wrong.

690
00:49:03,780 --> 00:49:04,400
No, Andy.

691
00:49:04,620 --> 00:49:05,020
Yes?

692
00:49:05,300 --> 00:49:05,540
Yes.

693
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:07,100
Out the words.

694
00:49:07,380 --> 00:49:07,520
Yes.

695
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,520
Bastien, De La Rosa.

696
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:10,580
Yes, sweet.

697
00:49:11,020 --> 00:49:11,160
Yes.

698
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:12,920
Okay.

699
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,040
Or committee or supports and actions.

700
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,580
Finance and Facilities Committee Chamber.

701
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:20,020
All right.

702
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,680
That was an action act hour and 32 minutes.

703
00:49:23,860 --> 00:49:26,360
So I apologize to the body for a certain two minutes late.

704
00:49:27,700 --> 00:49:33,680
As you'll see soon, we have higher than regular invoices,

705
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,460
or that is due to ongoing capital projects.

706
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,200
Another part was happy payment for the technology center of DuPage

707
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,060
that came out of this one.

708
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,820
We also discussed our construction updates,

709
00:49:46,060 --> 00:49:48,120
which we'll hear more about in upcoming bids,

710
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:50,340
which I just wanted to focus a couple things on,

711
00:49:50,420 --> 00:49:53,260
or from south, or getting new secure insurance and so on.

712
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,500
And Jeremy's team will come into more details on that one.

713
00:49:56,260 --> 00:50:00,000
South, of course, we talked about how it's going to cause a little bit of a change in

714
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,380
where they enter school next year.

715
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:10,180
We heard the update on the West construction and the delay because of the soil, we got

716
00:50:10,180 --> 00:50:16,080
a great update on how they've been able to move forward and Jeremy, I won't speak on it

717
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:21,440
so I don't ruin it, but touched on the timeline and when they will know better about how they're

718
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,240
progressing on that because it's still early in the stage.

719
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:29,900
We received an overview on how the business department is tracking the spending on each

720
00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:32,100
bid release to ensure everything is staying on track.

721
00:50:33,340 --> 00:50:40,060
And back to it in case we missed it, we started the busing bid conversation again.

722
00:50:41,420 --> 00:50:43,760
It was the first part of the meeting.

723
00:50:44,020 --> 00:50:45,340
We will continue on that.

724
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,220
The next meeting we got the timeline where we will be hearing about this.

725
00:50:49,220 --> 00:50:54,360
They were October through November through December, as we talked about in the budget.

726
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:02,040
Our emergency contract played a key role in a gross surplus and net deficit.

727
00:51:03,220 --> 00:51:11,520
So as Seth talked about, you know, they're looking at ways that might change the new long-term

728
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:12,060
contract.

729
00:51:12,060 --> 00:51:14,540
Martha talked some detail.

730
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:15,460
We'll hear this.

731
00:51:15,460 --> 00:51:19,880
I believe it's the next meeting in the board, correct, about the bossing.

732
00:51:20,540 --> 00:51:27,920
Some of the ways are going about the bidding and hopes to gain a very competitive bid for

733
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:28,380
the students.

734
00:51:29,580 --> 00:51:32,000
And with that, I do have some bills to pay.

735
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:37,420
So I have a resolution improving this September 14th, 2026, it invoices for payment in an amount

736
00:51:37,420 --> 00:51:42,060
of $13,522,814.47.

737
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,080
The second is needed, Clara.

738
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:49,460
Yes, yes.

739
00:51:49,460 --> 00:51:49,700
No, Lan.

740
00:51:49,940 --> 00:51:50,200
Yes.

741
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:50,860
Genome.

742
00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:51,260
Yes.

743
00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:51,940
Al Dumber.

744
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:52,340
Yes.

745
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:52,960
Yes.

746
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:53,500
Yes.

747
00:51:56,260 --> 00:52:04,400
And at a resolution of between August 5, 2026 and August 2026, gross payrolls in another 9, 162,042.

748
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:05,660
It's in thin and accents.

749
00:52:06,700 --> 00:52:09,260
Coming from a standing committee, no second is needed, Clara.

750
00:52:09,820 --> 00:52:10,220
No Lan.

751
00:52:10,580 --> 00:52:10,900
Yes.

752
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:11,660
Genome.

753
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:11,940
Yes.

754
00:52:11,940 --> 00:52:22,680
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Jane. Communication's legislation and

755
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,700
participation of a partnership committee, Todd.

756
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:33,660
It's a few. No, it works night, but we are meeting Wednesday night six o'clock later.

757
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:39,520
You know, Jim has been posted. We're all advanced, so I reward next meeting.

758
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:46,060
That was good. Thank you. Thank policy committee. We met tonight and we have two policies that

759
00:52:46,060 --> 00:52:48,260
we'll discuss tonight for. Oh, I'm sorry.

760
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,700
Yeah, we met tonight and we don't have

761
00:52:53,780 --> 00:53:00,220
policies that we discussed tonight that we presented at our 928 meeting. But also tonight

762
00:53:00,220 --> 00:53:05,100
on the item of discussion, we will have some policies that we'll be presented tonight.

763
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:16,120
Thank you everyone. I believe student performance and achievement for me has not met so we'll get

764
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:22,020
an update from Martha after the next meeting. Do I, are there any board member reports?

765
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:28,860
I have one. So coming up on this Wednesday, Wednesday to be busy,

766
00:53:28,860 --> 00:53:34,020
We spend a lot of time morning and afternoon in the evening.

767
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,300
Super tonight's aunties will speak at the Long Barter Edge

768
00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:43,640
chamber, a bunch of 1132, it says 1115.

769
00:53:43,780 --> 00:53:46,240
I'll teach you a bit about that one, but anyway,

770
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,940
it's at the Weston in Long Barter.

771
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:53,140
We're excited and I'm on the committee line.

772
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,260
I might have heard of speak and we're looking forward to it.

773
00:53:56,940 --> 00:53:57,540
So I want to be sure.

774
00:53:57,540 --> 00:54:00,600
everyone knew that, and if you are the attorney,

775
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,560
let me know if I can get your answer.

776
00:54:03,180 --> 00:54:03,320
Correct.

777
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:04,840
Exactly.

778
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:06,300
Very cool.

779
00:54:09,090 --> 00:54:10,970
I have a little tip to share.

780
00:54:11,230 --> 00:54:13,110
Actually, this is too a challenge.

781
00:54:13,950 --> 00:54:18,410
I had in my other life had the opportunity

782
00:54:18,410 --> 00:54:24,330
to tour a Soaring Eagle Academy, which I have long seen

783
00:54:24,330 --> 00:54:33,470
on our on our list of all places and I just want to share with you the

784
00:54:34,550 --> 00:54:42,370
intensive work that the therapeutic school does with students to bring meaning

785
00:54:42,370 --> 00:54:51,390
and purpose to children's lives. It was an incredible place to tour and it made

786
00:54:51,390 --> 00:54:53,210
May we realize why we do what we do?

787
00:54:54,050 --> 00:54:54,890
So, there you go.

788
00:54:56,870 --> 00:54:57,510
Thank you.

789
00:54:57,770 --> 00:54:58,410
Thanks for sharing that.

790
00:55:00,010 --> 00:55:00,490
Okay.

791
00:55:01,290 --> 00:55:05,890
This is an opportunity for public importance for the agenda related items only.

792
00:55:06,130 --> 00:55:09,850
Would anyone like to address the board regarding any of the seemings agenda items?

793
00:55:15,050 --> 00:55:15,130
Okay.

794
00:55:15,310 --> 00:55:19,970
Seeing no one I will close public participation and move on to action items.

795
00:55:22,620 --> 00:55:23,020
All right.

796
00:55:23,020 --> 00:55:28,400
So first up in the Arkansas report here is our personal report and so I'd like to take

797
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:28,620
a minute.

798
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:31,780
We actually have one of our approvals in attendance here.

799
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,060
So I would like to invite Jim Pearson to come on up here.

800
00:55:34,260 --> 00:55:38,400
You don't mind because I have a second to read by his experiences.

801
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,040
So if you just kind of stand by and vice that there, whatever that area is, and welcome, Jim

802
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:43,360
Pearson.

803
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,140
Our report signed for approval for our new director of communications.

804
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:52,000
So I just wanted to give him a chance to meet the board and also share a little bit about

805
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:52,440
his background.

806
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,520
cyber-prepared statements, so I don't pass up all the amazing things that he's done,

807
00:55:55,580 --> 00:56:00,220
so I will go ahead and just read for him here. So Jim's going to be joining us on October 1st,

808
00:56:00,260 --> 00:56:04,880
the product approval of his professional journey actually started as an aspiring muralist

809
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,840
before the starting artist's work in a little too real. That led him into advertising,

810
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:14,360
marketing, and communications where he built his career as some of the world's largest

811
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:19,280
agencies that's working with brands including practice gambles, Kimberly Clark, and Coca-Cola.

812
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,920
Over the years, Jim has worked through dramatic changes in how organizations connect with people

813
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,900
from the rise, be, commerce, and social media to the impact of AI.

814
00:56:29,740 --> 00:56:33,400
Through all of it, the things that made the work successful really didn't change.

815
00:56:33,860 --> 00:56:40,740
Have a firmness, tell good stories, understand people, build connections, and create something of value.

816
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:47,520
That belief eventually brought Jim to public education, where he saw an opportunity to apply those same skills

817
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,700
to make a more direct impact on students, families and communities.

818
00:56:52,420 --> 00:57:02,220
More recently, he has led communications at Rockford Public Schools, a district of 41 schools, nearly 28,000 students, and approximately 4,000 staff members.

819
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:17,500
During his time there, Jim worked to move communications beyond simply pushing out information and toward building relationships by establishing a district brand, simplifying systems, improving storytelling, and creating more opportunities to listen to.

820
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:22,940
and connect with the community. He is proud of what the team accomplished but even more grateful

821
00:57:22,940 --> 00:57:27,900
for what the experience taught him. Jim is excited to bring those lessons to Limbard and I believe

822
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:33,360
that the first responsibility of any communicator entering a new community isn't to start talking

823
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:38,040
is to listen. So, from Jim himself. So, let's give him an round of applause.

824
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:52,240
Also on the sends agenda tonight, you see acceptance of donations. We have two donations here

825
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:58,360
For the Frick family, generously donated $9,850 for a Yamaha baby grand piano at West

826
00:57:58,830 --> 00:58:05,820
and David and Jamie Mercurno donated generously $500 towards the voice soccer program at North.

827
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:08,960
So those are my consent items.

828
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:16,100
The administration recommends approved consent items 1 and 2. Is there an item to be pulled from the consent

829
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:16,620
agenda.

830
00:58:18,740 --> 00:58:24,460
Do you have a motion to approve the items one and two other consent agenda? So moved.

831
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:30,440
Sorry. Sorry. No one. Yes. Yes. I've been worked. Yes.

832
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:36,110
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

833
00:58:36,750 --> 00:58:40,330
Superintendent's recommendation. We have Margaret and Seth here. In case there's any questions,

834
00:58:40,330 --> 00:58:44,910
but you did see this in the last meeting as well. You can find the information there, but

835
00:58:44,910 --> 00:58:47,990
but I'm not ready to do a quick little summary of what I'm going to do.

836
00:58:48,170 --> 00:58:53,750
So last time when we discussed purchasing of two new vehicles,

837
00:58:53,750 --> 00:58:59,970
two new car new vehicles, dedicated to our agency, the city district and

838
00:58:59,970 --> 00:59:03,870
police, we did a similar exercise a year ago.

839
00:59:04,470 --> 00:59:06,970
We did not trigger 10 vehicles at that time,

840
00:59:07,130 --> 00:59:10,290
as we did not know what truly is needed. So we're going to want to just purchase

841
00:59:10,290 --> 00:59:14,110
for the same purchasing. We allowed a year to learn how our

842
00:59:14,110 --> 00:59:20,610
system, Marxists, we transition to the engineers being the district employees. And now this

843
00:59:20,610 --> 00:59:28,030
is a budgeted purchase of two vans trimming in its three vehicles. And then the only difference

844
00:59:28,030 --> 00:59:34,390
is one of the 25s, if the one we're available, hence there is a sheet and then there's one

845
00:59:34,390 --> 00:59:38,590
I'm 225 and I'm 226 and I should list the lower cost.

846
00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:42,770
So yes, I figured that we don't mind that.

847
00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:49,050
Any questions?

848
00:59:50,930 --> 00:59:52,390
I just like quick questions.

849
00:59:53,070 --> 00:59:58,190
Do we have a framework for decision making

850
00:59:58,190 --> 00:59:59,830
in terms of when we were visiting?

851
01:00:06,460 --> 01:00:29,980
We have a detailed file that lists, and then we keep a close track on the mileage, the usage, the maintenance, how much we're investing in the vehicle, not always to replace the oldest vehicle we replace the vehicle that needs to be replacing. For example, one of the vehicles that we're currently trading in, we're scheduled to invest in large vehicles.

852
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:35,320
some money that is just not in our benefit to do. We're getting a very good

853
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:40,800
trading value before that vehicle, so we chose to do that instead. We're investigating what the

854
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:46,820
current market is and what would it look like instead of trading it, if we went out and simply sold

855
01:00:46,820 --> 01:00:53,240
the vehicles, would we get more money that way for the vehicles? But then coming back to just keeping

856
01:00:53,240 --> 01:01:00,960
a track, how we're making the vehicles to be carried on and that report will follow after

857
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:05,780
this purchase and it will outline, we call it post-things report, and that's our primary

858
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:12,520
physician for our vehicles. Okay, so a couple things, this is just things we should keep in mind.

859
01:01:13,580 --> 01:01:18,580
I really think we should make, especially on these kinds of vehicles, make them move to an electric

860
01:01:18,580 --> 01:01:24,180
vehicle, a couple of reasons, one, lower emissions, right? And I know you could say, well, we need to install

861
01:01:24,180 --> 01:01:30,520
the apparatus for charging, not really, because on two ends of town you, at least in the district

862
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:37,580
here in Guadalu, and we have ample ways in which to charge a vehicle, which we wouldn't have to do an

863
01:01:37,580 --> 01:01:43,500
investment in. I think it's the right thing to do, and I think we need to move in that direction,

864
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:47,080
and you can easily get a Ford 150 that is electric.

865
01:01:47,860 --> 01:01:50,100
I think we should do a cost analysis on that.

866
01:01:50,340 --> 01:01:51,780
I hope that's not the only electric.

867
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,580
So I think because of some of the infrastructure issues that we have,

868
01:01:55,860 --> 01:01:58,200
but I think it's worth having that investigation.

869
01:01:58,900 --> 01:02:05,360
Yeah, I think we just, you know, we're about the future of young people

870
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:11,520
and climate change is on us. So it purchase to

871
01:02:12,580 --> 01:02:15,780
shoppers and it's right at North at North.

872
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,340
And maybe you could use that to piggyback what impact it was

873
01:02:22,340 --> 01:02:24,280
to cost compared to the same types of vehicles.

874
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,660
You know, there's a school that receives a

875
01:02:28,780 --> 01:02:32,590
little bit different. But you know, in terms of you

876
01:02:32,590 --> 01:02:36,130
You have to, you have to fuel a vehicle, you go to a gas station.

877
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:43,030
The same thing, you know, you charge your vehicle, but there are two, the shell station on

878
01:02:43,030 --> 01:02:48,610
Roosevelt, the shell station on Main Street, and we both have six charging stations, takes

879
01:02:48,610 --> 01:02:51,650
20 minutes, maybe 20 minutes, 15 minutes, charging on it.

880
01:02:54,450 --> 01:03:00,960
So I definitely think it should be something we look at and move towards that, and I would

881
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,980
imagine we can definitely investigate it, right?

882
01:03:02,980 --> 01:03:07,020
Yeah, I think it's, I just think we, you know, it's, you know, we have these solar arrays.

883
01:03:09,860 --> 01:03:12,860
They go back 300 miles, unless they've been charged. Right.

884
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:14,880
Batteries.

885
01:03:17,570 --> 01:03:18,530
Okay, any other comments?

886
01:03:20,170 --> 01:03:22,930
They have emotional proof of maintenance, vehicle purchase and

887
01:03:22,930 --> 01:03:26,270
present it. Absolutely. Sorry. Any discussions?

888
01:03:28,010 --> 01:03:31,450
Sure. Yes. How did it work? Yes.

889
01:03:31,450 --> 01:03:31,850
Yes.

890
01:03:31,850 --> 01:03:32,130
Last year?

891
01:03:32,390 --> 01:03:32,590
Yes.

892
01:03:32,810 --> 01:03:33,310
Do that also?

893
01:03:33,570 --> 01:03:33,710
Yes.

894
01:03:34,030 --> 01:03:34,390
Yes.

895
01:03:37,690 --> 01:03:38,410
All right.

896
01:03:38,550 --> 01:03:42,670
Next in our super-transfer recommendation, we have approval revised finance committee meeting

897
01:03:42,670 --> 01:03:43,090
schedule.

898
01:03:43,730 --> 01:03:45,450
So that's going to talk a little bit about this.

899
01:03:45,570 --> 01:03:48,530
But we wanted to bring this to the attention and formalize this.

900
01:03:49,470 --> 01:03:49,950
Yeah.

901
01:03:50,830 --> 01:03:52,150
And I think there's two generators.

902
01:03:52,910 --> 01:03:56,710
We're not going to meet on October 13th for finance committee.

903
01:03:56,710 --> 01:04:05,510
I can get to my conference, I'm presenting that following Wednesday and some of the things

904
01:04:05,510 --> 01:04:06,730
so that's one of the reasons.

905
01:04:07,470 --> 01:04:14,530
And then the other reason is the addition of the second network workshop on our financial

906
01:04:15,050 --> 01:04:16,930
objectives and strategic objectives.

907
01:04:17,150 --> 01:04:22,250
And so in the process right now, developing that presentation, we do, we will have with

908
01:04:22,250 --> 01:04:31,430
us at the meeting of Auditor, Bigger Tilly, it will also have a PTA there to provide some

909
01:04:31,430 --> 01:04:35,770
market analysis and to give you guys kind of some context around other things that districts

910
01:04:35,770 --> 01:04:41,370
are doing. But ultimately the goal coming out of that meeting will be to contemplate any

911
01:04:41,370 --> 01:04:47,190
fun policy changes and then also to consider the targets and the measures that we've been

912
01:04:47,190 --> 01:04:51,930
using in the past. Still the ones that we want to continue to use or do want to modify our

913
01:04:51,930 --> 01:04:56,310
adjust those. And that's extremely important before we get into the fire projections because we

914
01:04:56,310 --> 01:05:01,550
want to make sure that whatever we're doing is aligned with those priorities. So that's the

915
01:05:01,550 --> 01:05:05,990
intention at night. Obviously a very, very important one and hopefully everybody can attend.

916
01:05:07,270 --> 01:05:11,050
Yeah, I was just going to echo that last evening. I said that while we made the decision to make

917
01:05:11,050 --> 01:05:15,030
a finance committee meeting and a special meeting, it is one that if you think it's important that

918
01:05:15,030 --> 01:05:19,950
all board members attend as reminding all of our committee meetings are open to the public.

919
01:05:20,870 --> 01:05:24,710
And so just as a reminder, that's why we wouldn't officially make sure that it was ever more

920
01:05:26,250 --> 01:05:34,290
countered. Okay. And to almost you to approve the revised 2026, 2027 finance to any meeting scheduled

921
01:05:34,290 --> 01:05:41,930
as presented. Sorry. Sorry. Any discussions? Sure. A number? Yes. Last year? Yes.

922
01:05:41,930 --> 01:05:42,030
Yes.

923
01:05:42,130 --> 01:05:42,350
Yes.

924
01:05:43,510 --> 01:05:43,610
Nolan.

925
01:05:44,150 --> 01:05:44,450
Yes.

926
01:05:44,750 --> 01:05:45,050
Shannon.

927
01:05:46,970 --> 01:05:47,450
Lee.

928
01:05:47,730 --> 01:05:47,990
Yes.

929
01:05:53,660 --> 01:05:54,140
Next.

930
01:05:54,580 --> 01:05:59,400
We have corrected emergency contract for general education transportation services.

931
01:05:59,860 --> 01:06:01,160
We have an amendment to this.

932
01:06:01,380 --> 01:06:04,800
And so, again, I said that might have been self comfortable up here.

933
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:05,340
There is enough.

934
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:06,420
This is the next level to that.

935
01:06:06,540 --> 01:06:06,640
Yeah.

936
01:06:07,260 --> 01:06:07,860
Thank you.

937
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:08,580
Thank you so much.

938
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,980
So always a connect with something that we have proved.

939
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:23,140
As we looked at the contract, we were closely realized that money that we thought had not been paid on prior bills

940
01:06:23,980 --> 01:06:31,340
was, in fact, paid, so that the amount of the total amount of over $900,000 that was listed in there was inaccurate.

941
01:06:32,020 --> 01:06:34,600
So we get that number which provided by the room to us.

942
01:06:35,620 --> 01:06:43,020
I know from myself, I was looking at the daily rate, I wasn't even paying attention to the number that's on me to be able to confirm those numbers.

943
01:06:43,020 --> 01:06:48,400
make sure that we hadn't paid those legally. We could have just gone ahead and moved forward,

944
01:06:49,060 --> 01:06:53,200
we didn't consult an attorney, but we performed in his emergency to bring this back.

945
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,660
Make sure that you could approve it at the actual amount.

946
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,600
Chooses a $1,000.

947
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:00,960
I think that you said. I think that you said $1,000, okay.

948
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:01,580
Thank you.

949
01:07:01,820 --> 01:07:08,120
Yeah. So that's the reason for this. And that's the, I don't know, there's some questions about what,

950
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:12,660
What is that? So just to remind everybody that's for two additional drivers, two buses,

951
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:21,940
the contract did contemplate if we needed additional capacity to have service and be on our

952
01:07:21,940 --> 01:07:28,000
A&K rounds, then maybe additional drivers. And so that's in fact what we need went through a

953
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,100
pretty lengthy process because there are made a assumption that they needed for. And in fact,

954
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:36,760
we disagreed with that. I'm back for it, then we settled that two is the appropriate number,

955
01:07:37,060 --> 01:07:43,220
and so the amount in the contract is reported with that daily rate for two drivers for the

956
01:07:43,220 --> 01:07:48,560
remainder of the school year, which I think is around the six or eight seven days. So that's how we

957
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:53,460
came up with that number of under-dress yourself. Yeah, I think both of us have a similar question,

958
01:07:53,720 --> 01:08:01,980
so yeah, it's fine. Sorry about that. That was not there. No, it's okay. There were some, like you said,

959
01:08:01,980 --> 01:08:04,880
last time when we were talking by him, we came up with the nine and then we saw that other,

960
01:08:05,060 --> 01:08:08,520
I think that's how I reached out and said, I, so the daily rate and the numbers weren't adding,

961
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:13,480
which is a safe hash in the West. Yeah. Yeah, and I seriously thought that it was because we're adding

962
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:17,140
in other bills. Yeah, yeah. Again, that's that was the issue, but well, we'll have a break. Yeah.

963
01:08:17,300 --> 01:08:23,300
Okay, perfect. Thank you. Okay, Jeb, a motion to approve the amendment to the Durham contract

964
01:08:23,300 --> 01:08:29,660
for emergency transportation services for the 2026, 2027, the school year, inclusive of summer school.

965
01:08:29,660 --> 01:08:30,560
So, we'll move.

966
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:31,360
Sorry.

967
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:32,100
Any discussions?

968
01:08:32,740 --> 01:08:32,940
Yeah.

969
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,320
I do have one question.

970
01:08:34,580 --> 01:08:36,840
So, well, a couple of things.

971
01:08:36,980 --> 01:08:40,220
One, I'm just going to say this is a comment of process.

972
01:08:41,340 --> 01:08:44,620
That is massively different in numbers.

973
01:08:45,340 --> 01:08:54,000
And as we approach our school, let's put a checklist together of looking at all the numbers

974
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,720
before they come to the board because that's massively changed.

975
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:08,960
Yeah, and so and that that's just different. So I so the first that Durham thought there was four how it got in the contract. I don't know, but again, maybe a checklist item as we're closing contracts.

976
01:09:10,460 --> 01:09:12,180
Um, and now we got to two.

977
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:19,180
And if we're going to have those available every day, I was thinking it was 180 because 180 school days, right?

978
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:24,100
That still doesn't add up to the number. I don't know how we ever got to the 900.

979
01:09:24,740 --> 01:09:33,980
I am either that was from that was from Durham. Okay, so but but then it changed. So my question is what did we pay in the prior fiscal year?

980
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:50,000
And what did we pay and what and so does this is the balance that didn't get paid or is this reflective of 136, 132? I guess the difference is $773,000.

981
01:09:50,000 --> 01:10:00,750
So I want to know if that's a deal or did we pay that yes in the prior year correct it didn't

982
01:10:00,750 --> 01:10:06,630
carry over I think that was your question was a time we paid it what was it based because even yet

983
01:10:06,630 --> 01:10:12,710
even if you took the bill it wasn't for that okay it was seven bills okay yes yes yes yes

984
01:10:12,710 --> 01:10:18,490
yes it gave us a total like outstanding at that moment oh okay this was their outstanding at that

985
01:10:18,490 --> 01:10:25,090
moment in the way. Okay, I was thinking it was only reflective of these extra buses and extra drivers

986
01:10:25,090 --> 01:10:31,670
that we have every day and what so really what this is costing us if we used 180 days would be

987
01:10:31,670 --> 01:10:33,990
$141,000 for the year.

988
01:10:36,050 --> 01:10:41,690
Yes, per day per day. Well, no, but there's two of those. So the

989
01:10:41,690 --> 01:11:10,590
So it's really $1,500 a day, but yeah, because it's $7.89 per person per day. Oh, it's per person per day. So, okay, so that's $282,000. That's right. That's right. Okay. And on that, I guess I'm trying to understand where the weather is. We're slowly below. We don't quite have half the days. We have a little less than half the days remaining this semester. And so, right. The semester's not balanced for the days.

990
01:11:10,590 --> 01:11:10,970
That's right.

991
01:11:11,170 --> 01:11:11,470
That's right.

992
01:11:12,390 --> 01:11:19,150
Those are going to take you to January and May of what we were active as a school when

993
01:11:19,150 --> 01:11:20,910
that you were transporting our students.

994
01:11:24,290 --> 01:11:29,290
So we did pay this other amount in fiscal correct.

995
01:11:30,310 --> 01:11:31,810
That's a significant.

996
01:11:34,730 --> 01:11:35,750
I just want to be clear.

997
01:11:36,390 --> 01:11:45,950
what you say the other amount is really what we paid Durham and what we paid for because,

998
01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:52,530
you know, as I look at this and we have a dispute on, you know, what was that in the

999
01:11:52,530 --> 01:11:52,930
contract?

1000
01:11:55,090 --> 01:11:58,650
It just cost us a ton of money.

1001
01:11:58,650 --> 01:12:04,930
So, I think what you're trying to ask is what I'm thinking right now, from the start of

1002
01:12:04,930 --> 01:12:08,550
the emergency contract and now did we pay for four drivers, did we pay for two drivers,

1003
01:12:08,910 --> 01:12:09,910
right? Is that what you're trying to do?

1004
01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:16,310
Yes, and, well, again, because it's just one big number, I didn't know, I thought that was

1005
01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:24,550
just the driver, extra driver and buses, extra drivers and buses. So, I'm going to ask the

1006
01:12:24,550 --> 01:12:26,370
question is how often do we need it?

1007
01:12:28,090 --> 01:12:32,210
Regularly, I think pretty much every day, is that, is that, is that, is that, oh yeah.

1008
01:12:32,690 --> 01:12:38,370
We, we went back and forth on the right number and what we explained to Darryl is that

1009
01:12:38,370 --> 01:12:41,050
we were not going to staff this with access.

1010
01:12:41,690 --> 01:12:49,810
Okay, so give me a scenario in which that exists in you, yeah.

1011
01:12:50,730 --> 01:12:59,450
We have on their own side 50 routes that divide the school to take students home but at the

1012
01:12:59,450 --> 01:13:05,530
same time we have up to 34 filters that are those three schools that depart for athletic

1013
01:13:05,530 --> 01:13:07,990
needs or whatever at the same time.

1014
01:13:09,030 --> 01:13:16,050
So because we don't know and it's not a steady number that every day we have three athletics

1015
01:13:16,050 --> 01:13:20,250
and whatever, it's their months or weeks that it's higher or lower.

1016
01:13:20,430 --> 01:13:26,450
It was then that we negotiated that we will send Kate to our like guaranteed numbers that you will always have.

1017
01:13:26,850 --> 01:13:28,770
And I would dispose of the rest of you to figure it out.

1018
01:13:29,250 --> 01:13:30,790
Okay, so we don't always know.

1019
01:13:31,410 --> 01:13:35,910
Is that something that the need can build to say these are, you know,

1020
01:13:36,230 --> 01:13:38,430
I mean, you're going to reserve a bus for a field trip.

1021
01:13:38,770 --> 01:13:41,530
Oh, no, no, we do that. We already have that.

1022
01:13:41,530 --> 01:13:47,190
Okay, there are weeks that we have, let's say, only 10 trips in a week, and then there are

1023
01:13:47,190 --> 01:13:51,050
some days we have 34 weeks, sometimes curbing.

1024
01:13:51,610 --> 01:13:56,570
So we can't ever guarantee that, you know, always be 20 per week.

1025
01:13:57,710 --> 01:14:03,570
So while we always need extra drivers, we couldn't say, yes, 10 is a great number, we will

1026
01:14:03,570 --> 01:14:09,770
always have 10, we will pay for 10 because it's simply not sustainable for us.

1027
01:14:11,730 --> 01:14:18,690
I'm just worried that we have drivers and buses that we're paying for that we're not

1028
01:14:18,690 --> 01:14:19,050
using.

1029
01:14:19,310 --> 01:14:20,090
That's my concern.

1030
01:14:20,610 --> 01:14:25,990
Oh, we're definitely losing the amount of flights that it needs.

1031
01:14:26,410 --> 01:14:27,790
It's definitely the opposite.

1032
01:14:29,250 --> 01:14:29,450
Okay.

1033
01:14:30,570 --> 01:14:31,970
We're not 100 percent.

1034
01:14:32,370 --> 01:14:32,610
Okay.

1035
01:14:32,750 --> 01:14:34,710
But we're not also at 80 percent.

1036
01:14:35,450 --> 01:14:37,250
We're not far from 100 percent.

1037
01:14:37,250 --> 01:14:40,570
We're going to open in a low 90% of the organization on this.

1038
01:14:41,250 --> 01:14:45,830
Is this amount reflective of an emergency situation?

1039
01:14:47,450 --> 01:14:50,870
Can we expect to see this go down substantially?

1040
01:14:51,130 --> 01:14:57,670
I think we're going to start from this contract differently, so there's not any misunderstandings

1041
01:14:57,670 --> 01:14:59,970
and we're going to make sure that it is part of the arrangement.

1042
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,620
No contract. There's no. It doesn't show as an additional. In fact, no addition turns. Okay. Well, I don't, I don't have an issue with additional charge. I have to issue an issue with, you know, are we sure that we're, I just don't want to have people in the wings waiting, where we're paying for it, but we're not really using them for certain that situation. And, you know, in the bigger scheme of things when we're trying to cut our expenses, I think we have to be, you know, really careful.

1043
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:36,860
And having something come back at, you know, coming first in nearly a million dollars,

1044
01:15:37,300 --> 01:15:39,720
and then OPs now is only 136.

1045
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,400
It doesn't give a lot of confidence.

1046
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:47,380
So maybe we can utilize, I mean, we've got the record on, oh, I'm sorry, RP coming out

1047
01:15:47,380 --> 01:15:48,320
in October.

1048
01:15:49,660 --> 01:15:49,980
Right?

1049
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:51,940
We're releasing.

1050
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:56,880
So, I don't know if it's between now or if it makes sense and look at last semester or

1051
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,100
And last semester was kind of okay.

1052
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,500
So I don't know how accurate that would be to go pick.

1053
01:16:00,900 --> 01:16:03,320
Yeah, to see how much of that we actually utilize.

1054
01:16:03,500 --> 01:16:06,160
If it is 90, 95% that's a compelling story.

1055
01:16:07,660 --> 01:16:10,100
How many drivers and how many filters are there?

1056
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:10,880
Is that what you're going to see?

1057
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,700
Well, that or they go to here and see how much we're there.

1058
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:15,460
What they use.

1059
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:16,040
Yeah.

1060
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:17,060
We get it.

1061
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:22,740
And I think you're going to notice that it's really important

1062
01:16:22,740 --> 01:16:27,200
to look at any of our variable costs related to the transmission.

1063
01:16:27,660 --> 01:16:27,780
Right?

1064
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:28,140
Yes.

1065
01:16:28,220 --> 01:16:29,860
We know we've got the A&P.

1066
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,560
That's sort of the thing that has to happen, but any under variable costs, we should be

1067
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:35,880
examined.

1068
01:16:36,540 --> 01:16:36,660
Yep.

1069
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:38,500
That's fine.

1070
01:16:39,060 --> 01:16:42,440
And I just want to have been here and say, and we've had multiple conversations about this

1071
01:16:42,440 --> 01:16:46,620
as just like we're here to talk about this because we're owning the fact that this was very

1072
01:16:46,620 --> 01:16:47,320
convoluted.

1073
01:16:47,440 --> 01:16:49,040
It was, it was, it was messy.

1074
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:54,460
it was not clear the numbers were there coming from Durham but also what was

1075
01:16:54,460 --> 01:16:57,620
included in that number and the number was presented to say this is the

1076
01:16:57,620 --> 01:17:02,220
cost of the extra and then to come back right after so your comments are

1077
01:17:02,220 --> 01:17:07,020
very valid they're very fair that that trust is of the utmost importance right

1078
01:17:07,020 --> 01:17:10,100
now as we go through the emergency contract and making sure those numbers are

1079
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:13,000
clear of exactly what we're getting and what we're getting it and that's that's why

1080
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,460
I thought that doing a great job trying to explain where we went wrong and we're

1081
01:17:16,460 --> 01:17:19,680
you know, how we're going to make sure that's remedied. So, please, no, we, we,

1082
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:23,760
of course, Dan, you also want to know exactly what are we paying for, right?

1083
01:17:23,980 --> 01:17:28,700
I think all those things are very fair. And, and again, that's, that's why we've made the

1084
01:17:28,700 --> 01:17:33,540
choice to really bring this forward, because there's no reason to think it cost more than it did.

1085
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:37,680
And so we wanted to be sure that it's already as expensive as, you know, we would ever want it to be.

1086
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,400
And now, here, we want to make sure that that's right there, what those extra two drivers cost.

1087
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:46,900
Yeah, I mean, ultimately, our most important objective, which is kids are getting to school

1088
01:17:46,900 --> 01:17:52,580
all the time in a safe environment, right, and we knew it was going to be expensive.

1089
01:17:53,140 --> 01:17:58,700
So I'm just trying to take as much of the any creep away from that as possible.

1090
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:03,160
Yeah, I don't know if you want any, you're going to.

1091
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:09,260
No, I appreciate it, you know, I think if your concerns are valid in her and, yeah,

1092
01:18:09,260 --> 01:18:10,740
We're not going to have this happening.

1093
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:12,780
Okay. Thank you.

1094
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:13,600
Okay.

1095
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:14,200
Okay.

1096
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:14,220
Okay.

1097
01:18:17,260 --> 01:18:17,460
Yes.

1098
01:18:18,020 --> 01:18:18,180
Yes.

1099
01:18:19,420 --> 01:18:19,800
Yes.

1100
01:18:20,300 --> 01:18:20,820
Yes.

1101
01:18:21,100 --> 01:18:21,620
Yes.

1102
01:18:21,740 --> 01:18:21,940
Yes.

1103
01:18:25,380 --> 01:18:25,740
All right.

1104
01:18:25,900 --> 01:18:27,020
Next up, yes.

1105
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:27,260
Yes.

1106
01:18:27,260 --> 01:18:27,500
Yes.

1107
01:18:48,580 --> 01:18:49,360
All right.

1108
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:54,740
to allow some $250,000 that we didn't realize there and move it into the self-construction,

1109
01:18:55,040 --> 01:19:01,720
which is their package PR-4S. So just taking it from one contract to the other, we'll close

1110
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:02,760
out the cell somewhere.

1111
01:19:05,190 --> 01:19:07,510
Any questions? I will just say, I'll be talking to the C committee.

1112
01:19:07,850 --> 01:19:14,110
This will happen again as we close out. The packages will be transferring any leftover money

1113
01:19:14,110 --> 01:19:16,110
So this won't be the first time you'll see this.

1114
01:19:17,630 --> 01:19:18,910
Or last time I'll just say.

1115
01:19:21,590 --> 01:19:25,970
And we did not have any ODA for the self-instructions list.

1116
01:19:26,350 --> 01:19:27,850
I hope in that we'll help that out.

1117
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:33,520
Okay.

1118
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:34,940
Yeah.

1119
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:36,000
There's other side.

1120
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,600
I thought of the other side.

1121
01:19:38,460 --> 01:19:43,200
I've been trying to do the motion to approve the two PSI contracts amendments as presented.

1122
01:19:43,900 --> 01:19:45,240
So I'm sorry.

1123
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:46,280
Any discussions?

1124
01:19:49,860 --> 01:19:50,460
Yes.

1125
01:19:50,860 --> 01:19:50,960
No?

1126
01:19:51,500 --> 01:19:51,800
Yes.

1127
01:19:52,060 --> 01:19:52,320
No?

1128
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:52,800
Yes.

1129
01:19:53,100 --> 01:19:53,300
No?

1130
01:19:53,580 --> 01:19:54,000
Yes.

1131
01:19:56,620 --> 01:19:57,820
Thank you.

1132
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,020
All right.

1133
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:02,040
Superintendent's report.

1134
01:20:02,540 --> 01:20:03,780
That's exciting things to share.

1135
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:08,140
So this week, September 17th of the 23rd is Constitution Week.

1136
01:20:08,660 --> 01:20:12,640
It marks the 239th anniversary of drafting the U.S. Constitution.

1137
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,520
Our schools are Illinois democracy schools, which are recognized for providing high quality

1138
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,740
civic learning opportunities for all of our students.

1139
01:20:20,620 --> 01:20:23,080
I'm going to do some congratulations to some individual students.

1140
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,860
We have six member students who have been named semi-finalists and national merit scholarship

1141
01:20:26,860 --> 01:20:27,420
competition.

1142
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:34,700
Carl Robbrook from East Simon Kubik and as a manure from South, Judah Cabral, Steven Hockett,

1143
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:35,840
and Martin Miller from West.

1144
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:40,880
So semi-finalists as a reminder, advanced to the final standing in the competition by meeting

1145
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:46,500
high academic standards. We see recommendations in their principal and earning SAT scores that

1146
01:20:46,500 --> 01:20:52,540
confirm the earlier qualifying test performance. Also, if you more congratulations to six students

1147
01:20:52,540 --> 01:20:59,400
in Glenbart, who've earned a perfect 36 on the ACT. So Samantha Gutierrez from North, Steven

1148
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:05,380
Hackett, Cole Lusuke, Nicholas Mulan, Martin Miller, and Alexander Sorenson from West.

1149
01:21:05,820 --> 01:21:09,980
Typically less than one tenth of one percent of high school students receive a perfect

1150
01:21:09,980 --> 01:21:15,620
come out of the sport 36 and exceptional sport 36 on the ACT provides colleges with evidence

1151
01:21:15,620 --> 01:21:22,380
of study readiness and academic rigor that lies ahead. Also excited to share in our post-secondary

1152
01:21:22,380 --> 01:21:28,280
passion and purpose area dual enrollment cohorts are underway for the 26th to 27th school year as

1153
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:34,380
a reminder we have dual credit and dual enrollment. So our new dual enrollment welding cohort includes

1154
01:21:34,380 --> 01:21:40,600
12 students and we currently have 24 students enrolled in our dual enrollment health care program.

1155
01:21:41,100 --> 01:21:45,320
So those are courses and programs that they actually take at COD in the evening and still have

1156
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:51,880
a full schedule here. We also launched a new blue credit American politics and AP US government

1157
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:56,540
and politics course this year. I mean for a little bit about this already but the specific course has

1158
01:21:56,540 --> 01:22:02,380
256 students enrolled this year providing students to have an opportunity to earn both college credit

1159
01:22:02,380 --> 01:22:08,160
and AP credit. We've received another donation here to mention and are much

1160
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:12,360
appreciated to the Glenbart family dental for $250 towards the football team at

1161
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:16,920
Glenbart East. And then when it celebrates some community events that we have had

1162
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:22,240
and are upcoming. So upcoming here will be hosting community facility tours over

1163
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,300
the next several weeks for two of our four buildings that are a little further

1164
01:22:25,300 --> 01:22:30,660
along in their bigger projects, particularly Glenbart South and Glenbart East. So

1165
01:22:30,660 --> 01:22:32,780
So the purpose of these are to welcome our families

1166
01:22:32,780 --> 01:22:36,700
and anyone within our landmark community as it is now,

1167
01:22:36,860 --> 01:22:39,440
but also the community members, the greater community members

1168
01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:40,880
that might not visit the school,

1169
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:42,960
get us any opportunities to come inside the buildings

1170
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,220
with their students or open house or other events,

1171
01:22:45,620 --> 01:22:46,800
but to come in for that tour.

1172
01:22:47,420 --> 01:22:50,460
Also invited a large number of government stakeholders,

1173
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:52,880
community members, business owners, chambers,

1174
01:22:53,180 --> 01:22:55,940
rotaries, really tried to give outreach preschool directors

1175
01:22:55,940 --> 01:22:58,780
like basically really a way to connect with the communities.

1176
01:22:58,780 --> 01:23:00,760
So, you know, this is a big deal for everybody.

1177
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,500
So, LEMART South Facility Tour will occur

1178
01:23:03,500 --> 01:23:05,980
on September 23rd, starting at 5 p.m.

1179
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:08,700
And then that night is very convenient

1180
01:23:08,700 --> 01:23:09,580
because after that tour,

1181
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:10,740
the guests are invited to stay

1182
01:23:10,740 --> 01:23:11,880
and experience Raider Pride

1183
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:13,460
by attending the Homecoming Pepp Rally,

1184
01:23:13,540 --> 01:23:16,320
which is a community event each year at 6.30 p.m.

1185
01:23:16,440 --> 01:23:17,840
So, you could kind of be a Raider all night

1186
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,460
that night if you'd like and be able to take a tour.

1187
01:23:20,740 --> 01:23:22,920
And LEMART East Facility Tour will start

1188
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:25,580
at 5 p.m. as well on October 6th.

1189
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:27,120
So, we hope the board will join us there.

1190
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,640
and some of the non-immunities we won't discuss business,

1191
01:23:29,860 --> 01:23:31,360
but we'll tour like the community does,

1192
01:23:31,620 --> 01:23:32,700
and we hope you'll join us.

1193
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:35,000
We also want to give a shout out.

1194
01:23:35,340 --> 01:23:38,740
The Merred West served as the host site on September 6th

1195
01:23:38,740 --> 01:23:40,840
for Glenn Allen's rescheduled for the July fireworks

1196
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:41,560
at Lake Ellen.

1197
01:23:42,540 --> 01:23:44,760
Alongside the spectacular fireworks display,

1198
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,000
there was a drone live show that lit up the ninth sky

1199
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,660
and also featured the Merred West and the Merred South

1200
01:23:49,660 --> 01:23:51,880
logos over Lake Ellen.

1201
01:23:52,180 --> 01:23:54,760
So fantastic evening and glad to continue that partnership.

1202
01:23:55,700 --> 01:24:00,260
Also, as always, please remember to access and attend GPS parent series.

1203
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:06,020
All the details are on the website, upcoming September 15th, tomorrow, noon, and 7 p.m.

1204
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:06,660
situated.

1205
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,060
Find the people in places that bring out your best.

1206
01:24:09,740 --> 01:24:13,740
And then September 17th at 7 p.m. we have our BPAC event in Spanish.

1207
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:18,620
Parents under pressure, practical tools for navigating life's challenges, and obviously

1208
01:24:18,620 --> 01:24:20,400
there's more link up in the following weeks and so on.

1209
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:25,360
So that is my information report, as well as our FOIA report, this part of my report.

1210
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,380
I have 13 FOIAs to report on, all that have been responded to in no prior.

1211
01:24:33,460 --> 01:24:38,600
That can get in that. So I think next we're going to go to our sketch fans, right?

1212
01:24:39,740 --> 01:24:44,100
It's on my budget update, great quarterly construction of updates.

1213
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,100
We're going to welcome Dr. Chapman back up,

1214
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,620
Wholes turning the role of Bill Bank.

1215
01:25:00,540 --> 01:25:01,030
Yeah.

1216
01:25:06,470 --> 01:25:10,810
I just met her in the back of the

1217
01:25:10,810 --> 01:25:11,650
top.

1218
01:25:12,050 --> 01:25:14,090
Evans Cali Anderson Andrews.

1219
01:25:14,150 --> 01:25:16,070
I work with Brighton eight.

1220
01:25:18,470 --> 01:25:21,590
Kevin spider ray.

1221
01:25:23,510 --> 01:25:29,050
his retirement here at the end of the calendar year and as such in the in the last few years,

1222
01:25:29,610 --> 01:25:36,450
I have been transitioning into the role of our regional lead for K12 business group here in Illinois.

1223
01:25:36,990 --> 01:25:42,670
So as he is transitioning out, I wanted to come make an introduction of myself to you all

1224
01:25:42,670 --> 01:25:49,130
just as sort of a another leader of full of our text and engineers and some of that is available

1225
01:25:49,130 --> 01:25:53,810
to support Jocelyn and the team and the work that they continue to do here.

1226
01:25:53,910 --> 01:25:57,810
I know they've been very dedicated to collaborative work here with the

1227
01:25:57,810 --> 01:26:01,570
district and have been delivering a high quality experience and

1228
01:26:01,570 --> 01:26:06,610
successful projects, which I will have them jump into with the status update of all of those.

1229
01:26:07,710 --> 01:26:08,470
Thank you.

1230
01:26:16,910 --> 01:26:17,550
Well,

1231
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:20,960
get the leg.

1232
01:26:21,420 --> 01:26:27,680
Yeah, so we started the introduction here. We'll have the design schedule status update.

1233
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:33,860
We'll talk a little bit about budget and track budget, cash flow, construction progress

1234
01:26:33,860 --> 01:26:35,520
and community communications.

1235
01:26:35,980 --> 01:26:41,340
So, picking it off on this slide here, the two red boxes are really where we're at in

1236
01:26:41,340 --> 01:26:45,760
the design phase and getting out to getting ready to go out into the bidding.

1237
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:51,120
So bid release seven with the North and East Tennis Quarter replacement that's kind of all

1238
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:55,940
to bid later on in October to come here to the board for award in December.

1239
01:26:55,940 --> 01:27:02,260
I've been released eight over at north. Yeah, north is the secure entrance and learning

1240
01:27:02,260 --> 01:27:08,480
commons edition as well as the 2027 to 2028 renovations scope. That's actually going

1241
01:27:08,480 --> 01:27:13,400
out to bid next week. That'll come here in November for award. I've been released nine

1242
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:21,800
is over at south. That's their entrance edition and they're 2027 and 2028 renovation piece that

1243
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:27,740
again we'll come here for award in December and similarly on the same on the same timeline

1244
01:27:27,740 --> 01:27:32,860
has been released 12 which is Miss Lannes and Campbell upgrades throughout a couple of buildings

1245
01:27:33,460 --> 01:27:39,020
around that PSI that will run on the same track has been released nine compared for bid award in

1246
01:27:39,020 --> 01:27:45,300
December 12 so we're back into the fall we've come out of the busy summer construction and we're

1247
01:27:45,300 --> 01:27:53,520
had into big season. So, what's on the horizon? Turning next to the updates here, just a couple

1248
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:59,260
of final photos from the work over the summer itself, the culinary lab on the left, the

1249
01:28:00,020 --> 01:28:05,020
childhood development classroom on the right. On the next slide, you'll see some of the

1250
01:28:05,020 --> 01:28:11,600
repressed classrooms. Again, that's the 100 level of the tower wisdom this summer. In the new

1251
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:17,820
windows wrapped up on all three levels of tower. As many windows as can be put in the tower and

1252
01:28:17,820 --> 01:28:22,340
then put in the tower. So that wraps up that portion of the project.

1253
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:30,140
So I'll try to keep it brief. I know this is a very familiar plan to everyone, but this is just

1254
01:28:30,140 --> 01:28:37,080
showing everything highlighted in a color is what is being included in the bed release nine scope of work

1255
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,320
plus the parking lot reconstruction.

1256
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:42,720
So understanding that the subgrade needs a little bit of work.

1257
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,120
They're doing that full depth parking lots, repair and replacement.

1258
01:28:46,780 --> 01:28:51,760
But as Jeremy mentioned, the accessible and secure main entrance being kind of at the forefront

1259
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:56,620
and then the resulting cafeteria, commons and student services renovations

1260
01:28:56,620 --> 01:29:02,140
to bring it in line with all of the other schools that we're making these upgrades to.

1261
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:09,200
So like Jeremy said, we're issuing a key milestone for estimates here at the

1262
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:13,640
end of this week. So I'll have a good idea on numbers and tracking where we are

1263
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:20,460
in scope by mid-October before we go out to bed. Make sure that we're in alignment

1264
01:29:20,460 --> 01:29:25,440
there. We want to go to the next slide. Just a couple of images and highlights for

1265
01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:30,500
what the design is shaping up to look like. We are kind of in the final stages, so

1266
01:29:30,500 --> 01:29:33,320
This school has seen a lot of these images,

1267
01:29:33,740 --> 01:29:36,580
which was some final tweaks and adjustments.

1268
01:29:37,180 --> 01:29:38,720
But really carrying through this tower,

1269
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:40,520
first one of the tower renovations

1270
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:41,660
to other areas in building,

1271
01:29:41,900 --> 01:29:43,480
bringing in some of the warmth in the wood,

1272
01:29:44,460 --> 01:29:46,480
bringing in some of the kind of interest

1273
01:29:46,480 --> 01:29:47,740
at the ceiling and the angles

1274
01:29:47,740 --> 01:29:49,720
and playing with strategic branding,

1275
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,440
making sure that those colors are highlighted

1276
01:29:53,440 --> 01:29:56,160
by not overpowering any of the spaces.

1277
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,400
So a couple of key areas that entrance

1278
01:29:59,400 --> 01:29:59,780
inside.

1279
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:27,980
So the main building has actually a small slope to the floor. So we're avoiding lift, but we do have an accessible entrance then for ourselves. Instead of hiking up the deceptively steep hill, you're able to get there at that more of a gradual incline inside and outside. And then a couple of images of the cafeteria comments show how much we're able to open up on either side of the hallway, taking away the hallway between the cafeteria and the office space now.

1280
01:30:27,980 --> 01:30:32,480
getting opened up and having a couple more flexible areas in there to bridge

1281
01:30:32,480 --> 01:30:36,820
student services and then just a little bit of a view of the reception area

1282
01:30:36,820 --> 01:30:41,860
people are walking in and having their welcome to. It's an alignment with a lot

1283
01:30:41,860 --> 01:30:46,080
of the other receptions at each of the other buildings and then the staff lounge

1284
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:50,680
being important because it is being currently displaced and a department offices

1285
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:55,940
are becoming satelliteed into smaller groupings so just reinforcing some of

1286
01:30:55,940 --> 01:30:58,660
that stack cooperation so it's as well.

1287
01:31:00,780 --> 01:31:02,160
So then shifting to the exterior,

1288
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:04,740
we are still working through some of the signage,

1289
01:31:04,740 --> 01:31:08,840
but it's kind of our last phase of detail exploration,

1290
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:10,900
but really making sure that we're highlighting

1291
01:31:10,900 --> 01:31:14,180
the entrance from both the road and bringing it to visible

1292
01:31:14,180 --> 01:31:15,860
from the practice as much as possible.

1293
01:31:16,380 --> 01:31:18,360
Some of the shapes that you see on the exterior

1294
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:21,220
highlight some of the changes that we made

1295
01:31:21,820 --> 01:31:24,800
with the windows and the tower itself.

1296
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,400
adding those in and kind of bringing those forward and then bringing some

1297
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:33,660
interest and some daylight into that best of fuel as well. So the big

1298
01:31:33,660 --> 01:31:36,500
architectural features there but the big goal is making sure that it's

1299
01:31:36,500 --> 01:31:40,580
visible as an inside the courtyard bringing it as far forward so that you can

1300
01:31:40,580 --> 01:31:43,940
see it from our field and from the parking lot as well.

1301
01:31:46,100 --> 01:31:53,420
Right, but just more landscaping. Yeah, I know those are potential renderings and they

1302
01:31:53,420 --> 01:32:03,920
They want to show the structures, but I really think the softening of our campuses is so important to social, emotional health.

1303
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:08,280
Absolutely. And there's light keeping included in all of that, but it's not accurately.

1304
01:32:09,780 --> 01:32:17,720
It's it. We might be, I saw when you do the entrance of a fighter field, is that can it be still there?

1305
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:26,110
because Boston can be will be gone. So it's still there right now, but as soon as that entrance is complete, the bus can't do we don't.

1306
01:32:27,940 --> 01:32:35,040
Just being right, you should be able to pull up and get it right. It gets ready pretty fast. Yeah. Yeah, it can't be. It's good for it's good.

1307
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:46,220
All right, transitioning over to North, then a couple of progress photos from the work that finished up over the summer again, complete science labs on the left.

1308
01:32:46,220 --> 01:32:53,260
We did three science labs there this summer. They have the last three science labs to be renovated, which will happen next summer.

1309
01:32:53,800 --> 01:33:02,360
I'm just going to touch on that in a minute. And then on the right, they re-finished dimple and all new bleachers and sold.

1310
01:33:03,440 --> 01:33:06,340
And those will be the last three in the district science labs.

1311
01:33:09,730 --> 01:33:14,690
Next slide here shows some of the progress that we're continuing working on throughout

1312
01:33:14,690 --> 01:33:15,330
school year.

1313
01:33:15,650 --> 01:33:21,290
So this is the music edition on the right hand top of the on the left photo right half

1314
01:33:21,290 --> 01:33:23,910
is the new edition music edition.

1315
01:33:23,910 --> 01:33:27,170
We top that structure out on August 25th.

1316
01:33:27,170 --> 01:33:33,090
We are also working inside of that existing what used to be our rooms and will be music space

1317
01:33:33,770 --> 01:33:35,190
coming to start next school year.

1318
01:33:35,190 --> 01:33:39,470
So inside we've done all the underground plumbing and electrical work.

1319
01:33:39,730 --> 01:33:40,990
We've poured the slab back.

1320
01:33:41,150 --> 01:33:41,850
We've framed walls.

1321
01:33:42,030 --> 01:33:47,250
We're drywalling where we can prepping for exterior windows to go in and really just trying

1322
01:33:47,250 --> 01:33:48,550
to get ahead in that space.

1323
01:33:49,010 --> 01:33:54,070
Well on the addition piece we're underground plumbing and electrical is done.

1324
01:33:54,190 --> 01:33:59,490
We're prepping for the slab in that area and prepping for next week to start framing the exterior

1325
01:33:59,490 --> 01:34:01,170
walls and pushing towards the closure.

1326
01:34:01,170 --> 01:34:04,990
So the overall goal on this project really is,

1327
01:34:05,430 --> 01:34:07,270
and before we get to the next summer,

1328
01:34:07,410 --> 01:34:09,490
that this edition is primarily wrapped up.

1329
01:34:09,750 --> 01:34:12,010
So we can turn on our focus so they have your renovations.

1330
01:34:12,010 --> 01:34:12,650
We're not so.

1331
01:34:13,210 --> 01:34:15,750
We were able to reply the teachers parking.

1332
01:34:16,410 --> 01:34:19,110
That was taking up from the student spots.

1333
01:34:19,210 --> 01:34:20,470
How did that go?

1334
01:34:21,270 --> 01:34:22,090
Um, so.

1335
01:34:22,250 --> 01:34:23,170
That was staff spots.

1336
01:34:23,510 --> 01:34:23,630
Yeah.

1337
01:34:23,790 --> 01:34:26,270
It's like the student spots move the staff.

1338
01:34:26,570 --> 01:34:27,170
I'm sick of it.

1339
01:34:27,270 --> 01:34:28,570
The staff spots were gone.

1340
01:34:28,630 --> 01:34:28,950
What did they.

1341
01:34:29,130 --> 01:34:30,110
I don't believe so.

1342
01:34:30,110 --> 01:34:32,810
I think they're able to keep their same number from all the more.

1343
01:34:33,110 --> 01:34:36,270
We don't have a lot of access to our input.

1344
01:34:36,310 --> 01:34:37,910
Oh, that's an access set for you.

1345
01:34:38,130 --> 01:34:38,250
Okay.

1346
01:34:38,650 --> 01:34:39,190
Thank you.

1347
01:34:41,170 --> 01:34:44,350
So again, this plan should be pretty familiar to everyone.

1348
01:34:44,670 --> 01:34:46,210
It stayed pretty stable.

1349
01:34:46,750 --> 01:34:49,590
So anything colored is happening in bid release eight.

1350
01:34:50,550 --> 01:34:52,250
As far as renovations, additions.

1351
01:34:52,890 --> 01:34:58,010
We are focusing on that secure main engines and kind of flipping the main office function

1352
01:34:58,010 --> 01:35:03,090
with that addition, as well as raising the heights of that learning commons, so your existing maintenance

1353
01:35:03,090 --> 01:35:08,970
bay, we are raising the height of that structure. And that's kind of the big portion of the addition

1354
01:35:08,970 --> 01:35:13,370
there, but the rest of the building is getting those renovations for student services,

1355
01:35:13,950 --> 01:35:19,390
for cafeteria commons, and then for the art spaces. And then shifting to the second floor,

1356
01:35:19,570 --> 01:35:26,230
that is the last three science labs, and then a couple of creating the right locations for functions

1357
01:35:26,810 --> 01:35:31,310
co-related to departments. And then we are also looking at adding all of those remaining

1358
01:35:31,310 --> 01:35:38,430
windows along at Eastern North Faces. So then again, every room at North that can have

1359
01:35:38,430 --> 01:35:41,330
an exterior window of will by the end of this bit released.

1360
01:35:43,990 --> 01:35:48,510
Just to the next view, just a couple of quick views of the entry,

1361
01:35:48,570 --> 01:35:53,710
massive fuel and reception, again, really bringing in like it's often like it's the other

1362
01:35:53,710 --> 01:36:01,350
buildings, bringing in that big welcome, making sure that it has the clarity that it is

1363
01:36:01,350 --> 01:36:05,810
the entrance, and not just another door in the belief. And then bringing in some of the

1364
01:36:05,810 --> 01:36:11,250
warmth and materials, some of the refined branding into the reception spaces. And then

1365
01:36:11,250 --> 01:36:15,850
as you look down at the comments on the lower right is really what happens when you walk right

1366
01:36:15,850 --> 01:36:23,050
inside the door. So that casual learning stair or collaboration space ties into the coffee

1367
01:36:23,630 --> 01:36:29,130
So it's that I was slightly higher platform. There's still accessible access to that through kind of a processional way of

1368
01:36:30,010 --> 01:36:37,450
Creating really a by nice experience through that first holding and a landing zone for students waiting before our after school.

1369
01:36:38,130 --> 01:36:41,270
And then looking at the comments to the lower left.

1370
01:36:41,790 --> 01:36:53,030
You can see how open it is taking away those those doorways limiting the structure wherever possible to keep it is open and free flowing is possible between kind of those two anchors of the

1371
01:36:53,050 --> 01:36:59,850
the auditorium and the gym being kind of your high profile space for the building before

1372
01:36:59,850 --> 01:37:00,750
an agrar school involved.

1373
01:37:02,270 --> 01:37:06,250
Then just giving a quick highlight of the parking lots.

1374
01:37:08,450 --> 01:37:14,890
So I'll see your point having the parking lot kind of at the north there above the finance

1375
01:37:14,890 --> 01:37:15,330
edition.

1376
01:37:15,610 --> 01:37:20,170
That will be complete this summer and then turns back over so that any of the additional

1377
01:37:20,170 --> 01:37:25,070
contract or parking is kind of taking away some of the supplement, not your

1378
01:37:25,070 --> 01:37:30,090
base parking, but any of the areas outlined in orange, just kind of in parking spaces,

1379
01:37:30,570 --> 01:37:36,850
still is determining staff and students with Eric and John, but making sure that

1380
01:37:36,850 --> 01:37:42,150
we're outlining kind of the travel path for any of the car queuing. You've got

1381
01:37:42,150 --> 01:37:47,890
the ability to to fan along the side and peel out around someone just to make

1382
01:37:47,890 --> 01:37:53,830
show that we're going to be back to the parking. That occurs deeply there. We are so within the

1383
01:37:53,830 --> 01:38:00,550
village requirements for parking. So we do, we are showing a net loss, but as staff mentioned,

1384
01:38:00,770 --> 01:38:07,510
the school had a surplus of staff spaces. So the school is comfortable with losing that,

1385
01:38:07,830 --> 01:38:08,730
less than interested.

1386
01:38:11,530 --> 01:38:15,270
And then this should also be familiar, again, finalizing some of the signage,

1387
01:38:15,270 --> 01:38:19,390
and some of the way finding into the space, but carrying the curve over in some of those

1388
01:38:20,130 --> 01:38:26,510
in the forms on the canopies and the forms in the glazing, you can see kind of in the far back,

1389
01:38:27,110 --> 01:38:34,130
the the addition for fine arts and how that ties back into the main entrance edition.

1390
01:38:34,650 --> 01:38:38,470
And then just starting to make sure that we've got visibility from the street for the the

1391
01:38:38,470 --> 01:38:43,430
school name and then for the main entrance itself. So carrying through a lot of the themes that we've

1392
01:38:43,430 --> 01:38:46,790
been talking about, just kind of doing final refinements.

1393
01:38:47,190 --> 01:38:51,530
But you can also see it kind of behind the upper left image

1394
01:38:51,530 --> 01:38:52,890
that strip of windows.

1395
01:38:53,230 --> 01:38:55,810
That is the raised structure that we're adding

1396
01:38:55,810 --> 01:38:57,410
for your learning comments.

1397
01:38:57,410 --> 01:38:59,090
So that sits right about those stairs.

1398
01:39:02,510 --> 01:39:02,630
OK.

1399
01:39:03,330 --> 01:39:05,750
Transitioning over to less than a couple of photos

1400
01:39:05,750 --> 01:39:07,290
of progress today.

1401
01:39:07,770 --> 01:39:11,570
We did the last two signs left here and less over the summer.

1402
01:39:11,650 --> 01:39:13,670
That's the photo on the left, one of those.

1403
01:39:14,430 --> 01:39:17,230
renovations complete on the right-hand side of the

1404
01:39:17,230 --> 01:39:21,350
surround aggregate peers fully installed for both the classroom and the learning

1405
01:39:21,350 --> 01:39:26,710
commons additions. So those were completed at the end of July or early August and

1406
01:39:27,330 --> 01:39:31,270
really faked the way it brought us to their continued forum with footings and

1407
01:39:31,270 --> 01:39:37,010
combination walls. The quote on the left here on this slide is the Earth's retention

1408
01:39:37,010 --> 01:39:43,190
system that we've talked so much about and have worked on for the past several months

1409
01:39:43,190 --> 01:39:46,550
and finalizing the design and then the sequencing of the installation.

1410
01:39:47,250 --> 01:39:53,110
I'm very happy to say that that's fully installed and we're fully excavated along that existing building at this point in time.

1411
01:39:53,730 --> 01:40:06,750
And the photo on the right shows the footings that toward the classroom addition being excavated out those footings at this point are about half of the footings for the classroom addition are formed.

1412
01:40:06,750 --> 01:40:13,510
We are forming our first sections of wall as we speak or not as we speak, but currently

1413
01:40:13,510 --> 01:40:14,070
this week.

1414
01:40:14,730 --> 01:40:21,450
And we are, we are endeavoring to pour our first section of wall next Monday, this is the

1415
01:40:21,450 --> 01:40:21,770
tournament.

1416
01:40:22,030 --> 01:40:27,070
So there's approximately four wall pours on the classroom edition.

1417
01:40:27,750 --> 01:40:30,470
In the meantime, we're also starting on the learning count.

1418
01:40:30,590 --> 01:40:33,790
We dug out a few of the footings at the end of last week.

1419
01:40:33,790 --> 01:40:39,990
we're going to be pouring those later this week or early next. I'm trying to kind of consolidate

1420
01:40:39,990 --> 01:40:44,950
the schedule with the classroom and the learning comms together pulling the learning comms forward

1421
01:40:45,570 --> 01:40:52,630
in our overall goal of trying to have the two and three hundred levels ready for the start of next

1422
01:40:52,630 --> 01:41:00,090
later. With the earth retention system that added what was the overall? I know you gave us estimates

1423
01:41:00,090 --> 01:41:05,170
of some delays. What when is you guys experience actual on the secret that's in there?

1424
01:41:05,330 --> 01:41:06,110
Yeah, I'm sorry.

1425
01:41:07,350 --> 01:41:08,010
I'm sorry.

1426
01:41:09,250 --> 01:41:11,650
You're not putting in a full foundation.

1427
01:41:12,670 --> 01:41:14,270
The footing is kind of the base.

1428
01:41:14,370 --> 01:41:15,030
The base of what.

1429
01:41:15,150 --> 01:41:15,270
Yeah.

1430
01:41:15,450 --> 01:41:16,790
So the footing of the.

1431
01:41:17,070 --> 01:41:17,790
That's the right thing.

1432
01:41:18,190 --> 01:41:19,210
What's the width of the wall?

1433
01:41:20,030 --> 01:41:20,350
Hopefully.

1434
01:41:21,130 --> 01:41:23,010
And so we have on this building.

1435
01:41:23,610 --> 01:41:24,870
Some very large footing.

1436
01:41:25,030 --> 01:41:25,530
Some more.

1437
01:41:26,090 --> 01:41:26,530
Yeah.

1438
01:41:26,530 --> 01:41:33,850
a few item spots. And so yeah, we've poured 100 and it goes 105 yards of concrete just

1439
01:41:33,850 --> 01:41:40,390
before Labor Day for the first quarter. So and that was like I said about, well less

1440
01:41:40,390 --> 01:41:43,830
than half of foundation footings or classroom addition.

1441
01:41:46,950 --> 01:41:48,590
So if you drive around the back,

1442
01:41:48,590 --> 01:41:55,610
you'll start to see the 100 up to 200 level walls being framed and getting ready for

1443
01:41:57,030 --> 01:42:02,750
Just as this slide's just the renderings for the exterior on the left, and some of those

1444
01:42:02,750 --> 01:42:08,870
renderings on the interior, learning commons, classrooms, small group areas, all the work

1445
01:42:08,870 --> 01:42:12,190
that's being worked on within, they really sucks, certainly.

1446
01:42:13,930 --> 01:42:20,730
This next slide here kind of highlights all of the work with the addition and the renovations

1447
01:42:20,730 --> 01:42:27,530
planned here at West and this is just a snapshot of the 200 level but really

1448
01:42:27,530 --> 01:42:32,850
anything on the West half of the building starting with that learning how

1449
01:42:32,850 --> 01:42:39,450
many of the orange area of the blue guidance counselors sweep everything to the

1450
01:42:39,450 --> 01:42:45,310
left of that or the West was bit out and bit really six and that's for all four

1451
01:42:45,310 --> 01:42:49,730
levels everything on the right half of the building or the East half the building

1452
01:42:49,730 --> 01:43:00,150
is slated to be bid in design with bid release 10, which will start kickoff in 2027 or 2028 construction.

1453
01:43:01,510 --> 01:43:06,750
So some of the milestones on the addition, we are aiming to complete foundations in October.

1454
01:43:08,330 --> 01:43:13,710
Structure, structural steel will follow behind that, completing by the end of the year here.

1455
01:43:13,710 --> 01:43:20,530
We're aiming to be construction, whether tight February finishes to follow that in final

1456
01:43:20,530 --> 01:43:24,590
site work and landscaping per spring slash summer of 2027.

1457
01:43:25,810 --> 01:43:31,670
Some of the current projections or the current targets, they should say level two and 300.

1458
01:43:31,670 --> 01:43:37,070
We are endeavoring to complete by August 20th, but it's just in time for the start of school.

1459
01:43:38,130 --> 01:43:40,810
Teachers in turn on August 23rd.

1460
01:43:40,810 --> 01:43:46,950
The level 400 in black box is one as a reminder to show me one classroom on the 400 level

1461
01:43:46,950 --> 01:43:51,010
and the black box theater would trail behind that in October.

1462
01:43:54,390 --> 01:43:59,370
The next slide will talk a little bit about the recovery strategy and where we're at,

1463
01:43:59,370 --> 01:44:03,250
what we're doing today that we try and better the schedule the best we can.

1464
01:44:03,970 --> 01:44:09,110
So obviously we're impacted pretty heavily by the soil conditions and the redesign there

1465
01:44:09,110 --> 01:44:25,150
In reality, we were we were set back about three months. We are trying to recover that through a number of things, but also putting together a plan for a contingency plan if things don't go our way and we're not as the recover as we hope we are.

1466
01:44:25,150 --> 01:44:31,410
So we continue to be regularly talking about this with both this administration and the

1467
01:44:31,410 --> 01:44:38,190
less administration and talking about the plans specifically revolving around the renovation

1468
01:44:38,190 --> 01:44:46,170
piece of 2027 summer, the 2,300 and 300 level renovations are pretty extensive but they

1469
01:44:46,170 --> 01:44:51,370
make a lot of places are very dependent on the additional portions of the additional peak

1470
01:44:51,370 --> 01:44:56,850
complete. So working through strategies there, what could possibly wait with the

1471
01:44:56,850 --> 01:44:59,790
animations, whether it weights sort of ball of 2027.

1472
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,980
That happens, those areas are ready to be at during the school year, or if they have to wait all the way until the summer on 20th. There's a couple of different scenarios there that we continue to monitor. And as I said in the finance committee meeting, we really are going to have to monitor this hard between now and the end of the years. We get concrete foundations moving along structural skills started and push towards our enclosure traits. That's really our critical time in getting this building on.

1473
01:45:29,980 --> 01:45:34,240
often running and hopefully the weather will cooperate with us this fall and into the

1474
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:39,440
winter. Some of the things we're doing now is working instead in work days and work weeks

1475
01:45:39,980 --> 01:45:46,020
with our concrete contractor and our steel contractor specifically. We bought six day work week.

1476
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:52,720
We bought eight hour days. We are complaining 10 hour work days. Monday through Friday to try and

1477
01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:59,440
basically pick up one extra day a week with those crews. So some of that here we're projecting out

1478
01:45:59,440 --> 01:46:02,560
and overtime expenditure to work additional hours.

1479
01:46:03,060 --> 01:46:04,940
And what the district would be paying

1480
01:46:04,940 --> 01:46:07,020
there's just a premium time portion.

1481
01:46:07,440 --> 01:46:10,400
So the overtime portion of the, of the hour of the race.

1482
01:46:11,480 --> 01:46:14,060
So first and foremost is with the concrete contractor

1483
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,980
of trying to get a few days over there,

1484
01:46:17,420 --> 01:46:20,360
roughly six week duration in here on the foundations.

1485
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,420
And then I'll, that'll move on to the masonry contractor

1486
01:46:23,420 --> 01:46:25,900
with the structure for the stairs and the elevator.

1487
01:46:25,900 --> 01:46:29,800
because we're required prior to the start of snow.

1488
01:46:31,060 --> 01:46:34,000
And then Masonry, Facebook, Facebook installation.

1489
01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:35,740
So we can get the Lindo's going center,

1490
01:46:36,060 --> 01:46:39,000
get it closed, and the exterior frame contractor.

1491
01:46:39,700 --> 01:46:42,340
They are on board for six, they work weeks already.

1492
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:44,500
And when we will look to do with them,

1493
01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:46,100
we'll work the 10 hour work days,

1494
01:46:46,500 --> 01:46:49,260
where it's possible to gain again,

1495
01:46:49,460 --> 01:46:51,040
basically let it one day a week.

1496
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:52,120
I hope that was true.

1497
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:54,720
So we continue on going discussions,

1498
01:46:54,720 --> 01:47:02,700
meetings with our time directors often about the schedule. What our manpower of needs are going to be so that they can best prepare and help us to

1499
01:47:02,700 --> 01:47:04,760
expedite the schedule where they can as well.

1500
01:47:05,780 --> 01:47:14,240
The other cost that we know is going to be or the other impacted cost we know we're going to have is a lot of our concrete work for slabs.

1501
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:19,660
For building slabs has pushed from the fall into the winter months, and so there's

1502
01:47:19,660 --> 01:47:23,820
upcharge with the common herd for admixtures and blank big picture that's a factory

1503
01:47:23,820 --> 01:47:24,780
crop that was cures.

1504
01:47:25,260 --> 01:47:30,200
We anticipate that to be somewhere in the $50,000 range, and that is something that would

1505
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:36,120
come out of the contingency bucket, which started at $1.3 million, it was about $1 million

1506
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:37,280
remaining today.

1507
01:47:37,820 --> 01:47:43,260
The majority of that decrease there has been regarding the search retention system, and as

1508
01:47:43,260 --> 01:47:46,720
as a reminder, both the allowances and the contingency

1509
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:49,200
were built into the original contract,

1510
01:47:49,480 --> 01:47:51,740
when bit of these six was built, brought forward.

1511
01:47:51,940 --> 01:47:54,300
So it's not additional funds going into the project

1512
01:47:55,100 --> 01:47:56,520
and they are things.

1513
01:47:56,860 --> 01:47:59,080
A lot of times the allowances are kind of built in.

1514
01:48:00,100 --> 01:48:02,000
We build those in four things like this,

1515
01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:03,780
you know, we're going to need to apply over time

1516
01:48:03,780 --> 01:48:05,680
at certain points of the job.

1517
01:48:06,220 --> 01:48:07,840
Just don't know exactly where.

1518
01:48:08,380 --> 01:48:11,160
And so that over the allowances allows

1519
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:14,680
to make our best judgment calls when we're going to buy that.

1520
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:17,960
Let me see.

1521
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:22,820
I think I hit on the rest of the consideration set,

1522
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:24,600
anything to add on this one.

1523
01:48:25,460 --> 01:48:27,340
No, I think any covered really well.

1524
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:29,920
I went just kind of echo and reiterate,

1525
01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:34,340
but I appreciate the foresight from the team to put this stuff in the contract.

1526
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,720
We knew this project had a lot of variables,

1527
01:48:36,940 --> 01:48:41,320
so we're not, we're not behind the involved with these costs right now.

1528
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:45,080
I think we've got a great opportunity to get back on track.

1529
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,420
You've displayed some of the challenges that we've had.

1530
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:52,200
The only thing I guess I would add is just the fact that we've talked a lot about making sure

1531
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,680
that we don't get work or burnout.

1532
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:57,780
And so a lot of these extra hours we're going to have are going to be targeted.

1533
01:48:58,020 --> 01:49:01,200
We're not going to try to get one trade too much so that we can issue that.

1534
01:49:01,260 --> 01:49:04,120
We're proficient with the use of that additional retirement.

1535
01:49:06,660 --> 01:49:12,620
So is there an opportunity there instead of over time to just add more income?

1536
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:15,040
That would be the area.

1537
01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:15,520
Yes.

1538
01:49:15,900 --> 01:49:20,800
So like exterior framing, we've already had the conversation with our friend and contractor

1539
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:22,660
and said it went to one level at a time.

1540
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:27,480
Our original plan was in close to 100 level and close to 200 level.

1541
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:29,100
We'll work our way around and up.

1542
01:49:29,340 --> 01:49:29,420
Right.

1543
01:49:29,780 --> 01:49:32,180
We've already had the conversation with a man.

1544
01:49:32,180 --> 01:49:38,720
and power will be available based on some projections to do two floors, two levels at a time

1545
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:43,800
as soon as the concrete slats are in place and ready for a lot available for them to work.

1546
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,500
So yes, and there are times like that.

1547
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:52,960
We're also in conversations currently with our concrete contractor about adding a second

1548
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:58,520
crew to start for any comments or to read about the learning comments while we focus heavily

1549
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,260
of classroom populations.

1550
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:00,960
Okay.

1551
01:50:01,540 --> 01:50:02,720
So, yes.

1552
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:03,620
No, thank you.

1553
01:50:03,860 --> 01:50:04,100
Mm-hmm.

1554
01:50:07,530 --> 01:50:11,030
We would actually prefer to do that rather than work.

1555
01:50:11,650 --> 01:50:12,970
So if I was thinking of the same thing,

1556
01:50:13,170 --> 01:50:15,870
but eventually you have a good diminishing returns.

1557
01:50:16,670 --> 01:50:16,870
Yeah.

1558
01:50:17,330 --> 01:50:19,070
And it's a really valid point.

1559
01:50:19,230 --> 01:50:21,690
I've appreciated the discussion with the group on that.

1560
01:50:22,290 --> 01:50:24,630
And the acceptance of that.

1561
01:50:24,850 --> 01:50:28,470
I think we see it going through the summer heavy schedules

1562
01:50:28,470 --> 01:50:34,850
and people come out of, we get to August and everybody's just, wow, and you have to recharge

1563
01:50:34,850 --> 01:50:38,130
your green color. So we don't want to get that over in 12 months.

1564
01:50:42,020 --> 01:50:44,880
Next slide here, transitions

1565
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:50,320
over to East couple of progress photos. The greenhouse on the left is wrapping up. We're slated

1566
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:57,740
to turn over to the greenhouse to the school at the end of September. So we finished up landscaping

1567
01:50:57,740 --> 01:51:03,940
the brick on the outside and dialing in the systems on the inside of that, so it starts

1568
01:51:04,370 --> 01:51:09,400
to join the new greenhouse space on the right, a couple of images of the cafeteria space

1569
01:51:10,170 --> 01:51:18,760
as they're different. That's one image of the cafeteria space here that finished up over

1570
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:25,020
the summer and that's been released three. I should point out on this that we are looking

1571
01:51:25,020 --> 01:51:30,160
and close out those contracts before the end of point 26 as well. So that will wrap up in

1572
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:35,080
release three and full. It punchless and close out documents complete before we transition,

1573
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,700
or as we transition in the three more bid releases.

1574
01:51:40,580 --> 01:51:49,820
You guys, I shared it at finance and my conversations at and when I'm knocking doors is

1575
01:51:49,820 --> 01:51:55,900
He's been really positive around these and just things that people see happening there.

1576
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:58,800
Such an appreciation like community.

1577
01:51:59,980 --> 01:52:06,000
So I've been hurting people to make a step in, you know, on those days so that they can

1578
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:09,260
really see the insight but they've really enjoyed the outside.

1579
01:52:10,260 --> 01:52:11,300
So on

1580
01:52:14,110 --> 01:52:18,150
the left hand side here is the curtain wall, the section curtain wall that was replaced

1581
01:52:18,150 --> 01:52:25,790
in full over this summer. We are still wrapping up the red exterior fins. They're on a little bit

1582
01:52:25,790 --> 01:52:31,150
of a delayed order in arriving here in October, so I've still put the hop on the badge of what was

1583
01:52:31,150 --> 01:52:38,790
done last year. But on the right hand side is the learning comments. It doesn't look like much

1584
01:52:38,790 --> 01:52:46,010
in this picture. In this photo, the foundations were poured. As we sit today, we are actually topping

1585
01:52:46,010 --> 01:52:52,410
off the structural steel tomorrow. So that structure is fully erected or will be by the end of

1586
01:52:52,410 --> 01:52:58,330
the day tomorrow. So that's the last beam tomorrow and move on to endeavoring for the slab under

1587
01:52:59,070 --> 01:53:05,290
starter exterior wall framing, temporary roofing, and get that building enclosed prior to winter.

1588
01:53:05,530 --> 01:53:13,190
So underground plumbing is done, underground electrical is mostly done in this space as well. So a lot of

1589
01:53:13,190 --> 01:53:16,130
progress happening on the learning comes edition.

1590
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:23,640
First of all, I'm going to apologize to the board.

1591
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:26,000
This version is not the one you saw in committee.

1592
01:53:26,260 --> 01:53:28,300
It looks like it's a different version.

1593
01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:31,900
There's Makiko on the big up the rust here.

1594
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:35,860
So this is the cost analysis that we're looking at

1595
01:53:35,860 --> 01:53:38,140
and kind of the review of how we have structured

1596
01:53:38,140 --> 01:53:43,760
a part is by Bill and so on the left hand side,

1597
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:45,320
you'll kind of see where we're at,

1598
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:47,620
the budget for the referendum and the percentages

1599
01:53:48,060 --> 01:53:51,020
and we're at three or $12 million is the budget.

1600
01:53:52,100 --> 01:53:53,520
But as after we went through school review

1601
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:56,640
and looked at the projects, we were at three or $41 million.

1602
01:53:56,780 --> 01:53:57,980
As we talked about a year ago,

1603
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:01,220
we have a lot of escalation, contingency,

1604
01:54:01,220 --> 01:54:04,300
and other costs in there that were very conservative.

1605
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,780
We fully anticipated to work ourselves down.

1606
01:54:07,340 --> 01:54:08,760
And as you can see, we have currently,

1607
01:54:08,900 --> 01:54:11,560
as at the end of August, we're at $32.7 million,

1608
01:54:12,820 --> 01:54:15,880
even as recent as April, we're at $328 million.

1609
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:21,500
dollars. And so on the bottom, on the left side, you can see where our escalation

1610
01:54:21,500 --> 01:54:26,320
contingencies are at. We're just over 16 million right now. So that's about $3.7 million

1611
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:35,780
drop from the April summer. And so we're confident that we're going to continue to work on that

1612
01:54:35,780 --> 01:54:42,240
and see hopefully some good results on bid day. Also want to point out that when we look at this,

1613
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:50,740
We fully understand it by the time we get through this 10-year commitment that those percentages need to be in line with what we talked about with the community.

1614
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:53,560
So we've got a couple of school, they're all higher, a couple of lower.

1615
01:54:54,160 --> 01:55:03,740
But as we go through these upcoming bid packages, there's a lot of estimates that are still in there and those will come into actual numbers and then we'll adjust and work our scope from there.

1616
01:55:03,740 --> 01:55:07,280
We still have over $70 million of on-aligator projects.

1617
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:09,720
I mean, they haven't put it into a bid yet,

1618
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:12,180
so that gives us a flexibility to kind of work through

1619
01:55:12,740 --> 01:55:14,220
the timing of those projects,

1620
01:55:14,220 --> 01:55:17,880
work might fall into the 10-year and work with the buildings

1621
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:19,380
to make sure that their priorities are on it.

1622
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:26,280
So this slide just kind of gives you

1623
01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:28,720
a little bit of a summary of kind of by building

1624
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:30,860
in my bid release at the very bottom.

1625
01:55:30,860 --> 01:55:33,180
You'll see the on-aligator numbers I was talking about.

1626
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:36,180
Anything ingrained or things that were bit out

1627
01:55:36,180 --> 01:55:37,740
and awarded already.

1628
01:55:38,100 --> 01:55:40,260
So those are real hard numbers,

1629
01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:41,800
and then we get into the balloon numbers.

1630
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:45,960
Those are numbers that were an estimating rate-prior gift.

1631
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:50,220
So if everything below that are a lot less confident numbers,

1632
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:52,480
that we have that we're working off of.

1633
01:55:52,580 --> 01:55:55,340
And we compare that to our variance for our 10-year projections

1634
01:55:55,340 --> 01:55:55,720
as well.

1635
01:56:01,690 --> 01:56:02,430
Please take that, please.

1636
01:56:03,750 --> 01:56:05,970
On the last slide, all those costs

1637
01:56:05,970 --> 01:56:09,270
that you saw in the current total column,

1638
01:56:09,270 --> 01:56:11,470
We're told what we call total project costs.

1639
01:56:11,910 --> 01:56:14,990
And so we want to take not to finish the spend a minute

1640
01:56:14,990 --> 01:56:17,590
talking about how do we get to those total costs?

1641
01:56:17,790 --> 01:56:19,450
What are all the discussions and conversations

1642
01:56:20,030 --> 01:56:22,630
that are had around getting to the total cost

1643
01:56:22,630 --> 01:56:25,490
of a project and what are all the components?

1644
01:56:25,730 --> 01:56:28,230
So it starts with obviously getting

1645
01:56:28,230 --> 01:56:32,190
the design documents from Waldo and PSI,

1646
01:56:32,330 --> 01:56:36,510
the band and PSI both concurrently do our takeoffs

1647
01:56:36,510 --> 01:56:38,130
and our pricing, our estimating

1648
01:56:38,130 --> 01:56:43,130
on the various phases of those, we determine where our trade package, bid package

1649
01:56:43,130 --> 01:56:47,810
allowances should be based on the nature of the work, the complexity of the work, as

1650
01:56:47,810 --> 01:56:54,250
well as the overall schedule for the work, renovations naturally come with more surprises.

1651
01:56:54,530 --> 01:57:02,590
We try to account for that in our allowances, as well as our contingencies, as we get further

1652
01:57:02,590 --> 01:57:09,290
along in the more ports than 95% CD estimate, which is what you're seeing a snapshot up here

1653
01:57:09,290 --> 01:57:15,170
for bid release eight. We start to determine our bid-packed strategy, right? How does it make sense

1654
01:57:15,170 --> 01:57:22,910
that we can, how can we track the most bidders and get the both the best results? How does breaking

1655
01:57:22,910 --> 01:57:30,090
up the work yield for the best results? So we determine that and then we go out to bid.

1656
01:57:30,910 --> 01:57:37,370
The escalation continues, escalation and contingencies are built into these from the

1657
01:57:37,370 --> 01:57:39,590
start of the estimates all the way through.

1658
01:57:40,050 --> 01:57:43,090
The escalation drops off when we take bids.

1659
01:57:43,710 --> 01:57:47,430
The design estimated contingency drops off when we take the bids.

1660
01:57:47,810 --> 01:57:49,890
The construction contingency remains.

1661
01:57:51,310 --> 01:57:59,390
on the kind of the, once we get all of the, the top half is, is Gilvain hard-cost estimates.

1662
01:58:00,110 --> 01:58:05,730
Then we've got the Gilvain fees and insurances in that kind of little section on this page.

1663
01:58:06,250 --> 01:58:10,990
Then we have the PSI costs and their estimates for this particular bid package.

1664
01:58:12,390 --> 01:58:16,790
And then on top of all of that, we have the owner, owner and other costs.

1665
01:58:16,790 --> 01:58:19,650
And so the first is three line items under there.

1666
01:58:20,290 --> 01:58:24,690
The first one is the bid release eight estimated owner cost.

1667
01:58:24,850 --> 01:58:27,070
We've been tracking that at 18%.

1668
01:58:27,070 --> 01:58:30,690
Ballistically across all projects that accounts for things.

1669
01:58:31,290 --> 01:58:35,170
The the world architect and engineers fees furniture,

1670
01:58:35,530 --> 01:58:40,930
abatement, soil testing and material sampling.

1671
01:58:42,030 --> 01:58:45,330
And a few other owner items.

1672
01:58:45,330 --> 01:58:59,310
We track that budget, we discuss the low voltage or IT needs for the particular project to see if that will fit within the 18%.

1673
01:58:59,310 --> 01:59:08,290
Or if it's a major cabling project or moving an IT closet, is there additional funds that need to be allocated for that project?

1674
01:59:08,290 --> 01:59:15,010
So you'll see in some cases this low voltage cabling work by owner having an additional balance

1675
01:59:15,010 --> 01:59:20,930
and then last but certainly not least determining what the right size construction continues to

1676
01:59:20,930 --> 01:59:26,690
see carry on the owner's side is with a big red bit package. So those are kind of all the categories.

1677
01:59:26,970 --> 01:59:32,830
A lot of discussion goes into that. We review the estimate multiples phases along the way and determine

1678
01:59:32,830 --> 01:59:35,070
And, you know, are the loans as appropriated?

1679
01:59:35,210 --> 01:59:39,070
Are the contingencies appropriate from not just to go

1680
01:59:39,070 --> 01:59:40,790
vain or DSI side of things,

1681
01:59:40,790 --> 01:59:42,850
does everybody agree with those numbers?

1682
01:59:43,510 --> 01:59:45,790
And that brings us to what we come up with

1683
01:59:45,790 --> 01:59:47,130
as a total cost projection.

1684
01:59:48,010 --> 01:59:49,870
In this case, for Ben, we say it's 30,

1685
01:59:50,030 --> 01:59:52,170
it's currently 35.49.

1686
01:59:52,670 --> 01:59:54,850
You'll see how that stacks up against the bench,

1687
01:59:54,990 --> 01:59:57,110
but this allows us to have that big package

1688
01:59:57,110 --> 01:59:58,610
by big package comparison.

1689
01:59:58,950 --> 01:59:59,830
Let me know where it's actually.

1690
02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:34,000
So, so this chart is part of our casual projections. Tournament is team work on this. We also, that if you're not seeing work with PTMA, and they provide kind of our projections based on bonds. And so we actually take our actuals, provide that back to PTMA. And then we get a very good understanding of where we're at in the project. Um, surely not to worry, but we do. We actually look at this by each fund issuance, and there are spend down.

1691
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:38,560
so it's not like we spent the first part of the $60 million and that got all

1692
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:42,220
spent and we moved to $75 million and we actually stagger that so we can take advantage

1693
02:00:42,220 --> 02:00:47,560
of our version positive, our version positive interest rates evolving beyond what we are

1694
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:53,080
paying on the on response. So you see the dates down below when we issue those

1695
02:00:53,080 --> 02:00:57,480
we're targeting an issuance of somewhere between March and June for the

1696
02:00:57,480 --> 02:01:03,420
third, it's $48 million and we've got some flexibility in that timing and we're

1697
02:01:03,420 --> 02:01:07,140
going to wait to see if the market is ready for it from the early side of that or the late

1698
02:01:07,140 --> 02:01:12,220
side of that. You'll know these projections are calendar year quarter, so we're in the

1699
02:01:12,220 --> 02:01:17,620
middle of quarter three. So those are all projections of blue bars above where the in the

1700
02:01:17,620 --> 02:01:21,960
black is where we're at. And we're actually training a little bit ahead of us then after

1701
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:26,260
a very busy summer. So as we get through the remainder accused me three we should kind

1702
02:01:26,260 --> 02:01:30,520
of level out to the projections. Probably still be able to be a little above it but nothing

1703
02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:36,020
not too crazy. And we're trending to the right there towards, you know, if you have a projection

1704
02:01:36,020 --> 02:01:41,740
of about 220, 4.7 million, and our target at the end of 28 is to be in around 230 million

1705
02:01:41,740 --> 02:01:48,840
or less. So all that is this contract in terms of where we're headed. We're monitoring this

1706
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:54,680
more than quarterly, more likely monthly, trying to track and see how we're headed.

1707
02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:55,660
So,

1708
02:01:59,330 --> 02:02:06,250
this sheet is a sheet that myself and more actively is data and even our constable

1709
02:02:06,250 --> 02:02:11,590
team is we actually are inputting every invoice that we paid and we're coding it specifically

1710
02:02:11,590 --> 02:02:14,590
back to the right vendor connected to the right bid release.

1711
02:02:14,970 --> 02:02:18,830
And so, there's ever a question about what we paid it.

1712
02:02:19,150 --> 02:02:23,890
We have a detailed tracking of each and every expenditure related to the construction project.

1713
02:02:23,890 --> 02:02:30,610
and so we gave you a case of sample of eight, which is that kind of bullish color.

1714
02:02:31,070 --> 02:02:36,830
You can see nothing has been spent anywhere except for wolf and some other other costs.

1715
02:02:37,470 --> 02:02:43,350
No, I'm sorry, not no one. And so we only will have design expenses at this point because

1716
02:02:43,350 --> 02:02:48,690
we haven't started yet. So it's important as we go across, that we're checking kind of our total

1717
02:02:48,690 --> 02:02:54,550
spend we're about $8.6 million dollars in the end of August and then our contracts right now are

1718
02:02:54,550 --> 02:03:00,870
lining up to about $176 million. So again we're tracking this on a very regular basis and if you

1719
02:03:00,870 --> 02:03:06,310
better reservoir that question on a specific project or what was the invoice we know exactly where

1720
02:03:06,310 --> 02:03:08,370
that's at and can get the information to you.

1721
02:03:14,790 --> 02:03:18,510
As we well let's just as supposed to be the last slide

1722
02:03:18,510 --> 02:03:22,210
do you mind anything go to the next two slides we'll come back to this one. I'll go back there.

1723
02:03:22,210 --> 02:03:22,810
Thank you.

1724
02:03:24,570 --> 02:03:25,430
We'll go back.

1725
02:03:26,130 --> 02:03:27,330
We're going to finish the table.

1726
02:03:27,670 --> 02:03:28,490
There we go.

1727
02:03:29,350 --> 02:03:30,850
I'll work in reverse quarter.

1728
02:03:31,070 --> 02:03:32,510
So I'll start with this on the memo backwards.

1729
02:03:33,170 --> 02:03:36,290
But it's time to give you a highlight on some of the initiatives,

1730
02:03:36,290 --> 02:03:39,210
kind of from the previous 10-year school,

1731
02:03:39,370 --> 02:03:40,930
or that warm safe draft priority.

1732
02:03:41,990 --> 02:03:43,530
As previously mentioned,

1733
02:03:43,870 --> 02:03:45,150
at the end of 2027,

1734
02:03:45,150 --> 02:03:48,210
we will be 100% complete with the original science renovations.

1735
02:03:50,250 --> 02:03:51,850
At the end of 2027,

1736
02:03:51,850 --> 02:03:55,530
and we will also be 98% complete with re-roofing.

1737
02:03:55,710 --> 02:03:57,590
But every roof will be under 20 years

1738
02:03:57,590 --> 02:03:58,730
and with an active warranty.

1739
02:03:59,310 --> 02:04:01,890
And I think there's a plan by 2028

1740
02:04:01,890 --> 02:04:03,890
that that remaining two percent is resolved

1741
02:04:04,450 --> 02:04:06,050
and he's over here at Meester Fieldhouse.

1742
02:04:06,530 --> 02:04:08,030
And then the student classrooms

1743
02:04:08,310 --> 02:04:11,970
were chipping away at those by the end of 2027.

1744
02:04:11,970 --> 02:04:13,170
There's a handful left.

1745
02:04:13,730 --> 02:04:15,270
And really, that's just finishes.

1746
02:04:15,750 --> 02:04:17,530
Everything in high-profile areas

1747
02:04:17,530 --> 02:04:20,430
is being renovated by the end of 2027.

1748
02:04:21,650 --> 02:04:26,190
I'm really just wanting to highlight those long-term standing commitments, getting results

1749
02:04:26,190 --> 02:04:32,670
in your completion, and then just highlighting some of the accessibility improvements throughout

1750
02:04:32,670 --> 02:04:33,030
the district.

1751
02:04:33,190 --> 02:04:37,430
So we know that there are a lot of challenges to some of your older buildings who are resolving

1752
02:04:38,410 --> 02:04:41,190
ADA challenges anywhere and everywhere that we can.

1753
02:04:42,230 --> 02:04:48,230
You know, I highlighted it at sound, for example, the entrance becoming accessible, but also

1754
02:04:48,230 --> 02:04:53,970
accessible, and it means without a mechanical solution, wherever possible. Obviously,

1755
02:04:54,170 --> 02:05:00,490
for traversing full floors, that has its own solution. But you can see that all schools

1756
02:05:01,110 --> 02:05:06,530
completed and in progress could mean either actively paid or being paid in the next couple

1757
02:05:06,530 --> 02:05:13,330
of weeks here. ADA stations and all science rooms, pleasure replacement does have the ability

1758
02:05:13,330 --> 02:05:19,910
to pull up and push for accessible seating requirements at the court side, and then all the classrooms,

1759
02:05:20,510 --> 02:05:24,950
door elbows at the court, or have the maneuverability requirements for push and pull,

1760
02:05:25,490 --> 02:05:33,050
for anyone with mobility devices, or aids. And then all new renovated restrooms will have

1761
02:05:34,810 --> 02:05:41,150
compliant accessible entries, and the way that my kids' school has their own individual and unique

1762
02:05:41,150 --> 02:05:46,750
challenges, where we're resolving as they come up. And like I said, wherever possible,

1763
02:05:46,930 --> 02:05:52,130
there are some that are proving a little bit more tricky than others, but we're looking into all

1764
02:05:52,130 --> 02:05:52,750
of those options.

1765
02:05:56,140 --> 02:05:56,280
No.

1766
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:04,380
We have our time-lapse cameras on our website, so there's plenty of information,

1767
02:06:04,540 --> 02:06:10,260
instruction, all of our website will continue to add quarterly updates with our communities and our

1768
02:06:10,260 --> 02:06:13,720
buildings and it's not on here, but the Sandy Drugs

1769
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:16,780
about the open houses against South is on September 23rd,

1770
02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:19,180
5 o'clock, East is on October 6th, the 5 o'clock,

1771
02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:22,280
and then we'll soon enough get to North and West

1772
02:06:22,280 --> 02:06:24,600
as we get to progress under those abilities

1773
02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:26,220
in the coming of bid specs.

1774
02:06:27,020 --> 02:06:28,540
Continue to have great relationships

1775
02:06:28,540 --> 02:06:30,080
with our government, all of speed.

1776
02:06:30,580 --> 02:06:31,500
That got through permitting.

1777
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:32,860
It doesn't stop there, you know,

1778
02:06:33,060 --> 02:06:34,340
work with them regularly and make sure

1779
02:06:34,340 --> 02:06:36,700
that we're on the same page with our trending

1780
02:06:36,700 --> 02:06:38,760
and any concerns that we have with it,

1781
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:42,020
whether it be traffic flow or otherwise.

1782
02:06:43,140 --> 02:06:45,100
And then lastly, we'll continue these correlates.

1783
02:06:45,100 --> 02:06:46,880
Our next goal is to get through for the next report.

1784
02:06:49,210 --> 02:06:51,130
What questions do we have to put in?

1785
02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:55,800
Any questions?

1786
02:06:56,160 --> 02:06:56,960
It's amazing.

1787
02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:58,760
I thank you for doing those slides

1788
02:06:58,760 --> 02:07:04,140
with the percentage of restrooms and science labs.

1789
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:07,180
I mean, that's really, I'm thinking about our beginning slides.

1790
02:07:08,900 --> 02:07:10,400
It is incredible.

1791
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:15,080
it really is. I think it's incredible progress and a tie back to what our

1792
02:07:15,080 --> 02:07:21,140
regional commitment was. There was a comment about referendum for $314 million.

1793
02:07:22,060 --> 02:07:27,680
$180,000. So I just wanted to... I think she's looking at that slide

1794
02:07:27,680 --> 02:07:33,020
but had to pre referendum budget and post referendum budget. Yeah, maybe that's it. I don't know.

1795
02:07:33,160 --> 02:07:40,380
For the title. For the title. I just like to say that. I like to say that.

1796
02:07:40,380 --> 02:07:45,880
he said a good thing. Yeah, and obviously he definitely had fidelity to the plan.

1797
02:07:47,300 --> 02:07:52,580
So thank you for that. Thank you for the work, Phil. Yeah, you know, cracking all of it.

1798
02:07:54,440 --> 02:08:01,380
But a roof's under 20 years is really good. Great job. It's a big milestone.

1799
02:08:01,380 --> 02:08:05,080
So, I think that a live real area is that it walks a lot of them personally.

1800
02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:13,440
It's remarkable. I toured East this summer and just to look at it now, it's like a different building.

1801
02:08:13,740 --> 02:08:16,140
So, Kudos to you guys getting that. I've been getting students.

1802
02:08:16,220 --> 02:08:19,160
I was really questioning that it would not happen.

1803
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:20,360
But if you did so.

1804
02:08:20,440 --> 02:08:21,680
Oh, I was repushing. I was sure.

1805
02:08:22,040 --> 02:08:22,180
Yeah.

1806
02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:27,860
But we might be next year only West is going to have the late start.

1807
02:08:31,440 --> 02:08:35,660
We have an extended, we have an extended summer for the entire district, I'm going to count

1808
02:08:35,660 --> 02:08:36,420
there as much.

1809
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:39,200
Yeah.

1810
02:08:39,680 --> 02:08:39,900
Different.

1811
02:08:40,060 --> 02:08:40,520
A lot of work.

1812
02:08:41,300 --> 02:08:42,260
A lot of work.

1813
02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:44,180
So.

1814
02:08:45,460 --> 02:08:50,440
And we had the other comments come through and see any emails or anything from board members.

1815
02:08:50,600 --> 02:08:52,440
And you talked a lot more people.

1816
02:08:52,440 --> 02:09:03,560
I just those are things that I you know as I'm out I can do that and so I take advantage of it just to get you know it's my anecdotal you know survey but

1817
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:14,000
I suppose you'll campaign just just you know just getting a check in because I think people are willing to talk and so I think it's always good to have those check ins with people.

1818
02:09:14,620 --> 02:09:20,680
And I just know that Lombard is very pleased and that I think they I think of I think of their

1819
02:09:20,680 --> 02:09:25,740
perspective. They were always the step child. And I'm thinking, no, you just didn't see all the

1820
02:09:25,740 --> 02:09:31,040
bathrooms inside in the past. You just didn't see all the things. Now you can actually see that

1821
02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:38,060
Kurt Mwell has been on our list for quite a long time. Right. So I take advantage of it because I think

1822
02:09:38,060 --> 02:09:42,920
it's really important to a community. And just getting around west and you guys had a lot of

1823
02:09:42,920 --> 02:09:47,720
challenges with the Hill and construction and the equipment has we had any hiccups there

1824
02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:53,980
or had been no disruptions to flow. Yeah, no, it's been working really well actually

1825
02:09:53,980 --> 02:10:01,460
the traffic plans, the plossing, stacking, it's been working really well in conjunction

1826
02:10:01,460 --> 02:10:02,840
with construction traffic.

1827
02:10:05,180 --> 02:10:09,620
Perfect. Yeah, I'm going to stay now there. I'm going to be

1828
02:10:13,380 --> 02:10:19,120
I think I'll just kind of close with just adding, I think you see this in a lot of the

1829
02:10:19,120 --> 02:10:24,720
updates as you get it, but just there's a concept pulse on the work and this team basically

1830
02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:29,860
lives here and lives here with us on a regular basis and we're going to all four buildings

1831
02:10:30,380 --> 02:10:30,860
every day.

1832
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:37,780
Seth and Craig, huge thank you to you and your team as all the work, this is an additional

1833
02:10:37,780 --> 02:11:07,180
20 hours of meetings some weeks sometimes only 10 but sometimes 20 on top of every all the other great work that you hear here and it's fun to see the results come through and everybody in the team is very much at the building level working very hard to add all those meetings to and still leading the building and leading instruction so you know thank you for the board support and also are all the work that it's taking to make this happen and super exciting because we really take it seriously.

1834
02:11:07,180 --> 02:11:08,560
because these are generational genius

1835
02:11:08,560 --> 02:11:11,780
for the next 100 years of families and students,

1836
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:13,580
and it's really a privilege,

1837
02:11:13,580 --> 02:11:15,320
and we're really thankful to the community

1838
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:17,680
for supporting it to allow us to make these progress.

1839
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:20,700
So thank you.

1840
02:11:21,120 --> 02:11:21,940
Yeah, thank you.

1841
02:11:22,220 --> 02:11:22,640
Thank you.

1842
02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:23,360
Thank you.

1843
02:11:23,820 --> 02:11:24,060
Good work.

1844
02:11:36,990 --> 02:11:47,210
Yeah, this is an important process, though,

1845
02:11:47,370 --> 02:11:48,570
because this is what it ensures

1846
02:11:48,570 --> 02:11:52,290
that the transfer would be to cover the debt payment,

1847
02:11:52,450 --> 02:11:54,850
but these are not covered by the tax payers

1848
02:11:54,850 --> 02:11:56,270
and we're actually covering these out of them.

1849
02:11:56,930 --> 02:12:00,250
So this, we just twice a year, this is the interest payments,

1850
02:12:00,530 --> 02:12:02,390
and then come back to the principal later in here.

1851
02:12:03,810 --> 02:12:04,470
Any questions?

1852
02:12:05,610 --> 02:12:05,730
Yeah.

1853
02:12:06,390 --> 02:12:07,630
Just a quarter of them?

1854
02:12:09,310 --> 02:12:09,750
No.

1855
02:12:10,490 --> 02:12:11,010
It's a line.

1856
02:12:11,370 --> 02:12:11,810
How is that?

1857
02:12:12,130 --> 02:12:12,330
Yeah.

1858
02:12:13,490 --> 02:12:13,670
Okay.

1859
02:12:20,540 --> 02:12:20,980
Thanks.

1860
02:12:21,060 --> 02:12:21,280
Thanks.

1861
02:12:21,420 --> 02:12:21,640
Thank you.

1862
02:12:25,360 --> 02:12:25,800
Josh.

1863
02:12:26,500 --> 02:12:30,580
Next up are policies and procedures for first reading discussion.

1864
02:12:32,940 --> 02:12:38,620
All right, so I know everybody got distracted from all the construction and you guys all read the policy.

1865
02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:47,160
And you'll probably notice there was a trend in all the policies that really purpose was if we had some title changes that we had to add.

1866
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:53,200
We are required to actually list the name title of the people that are our

1867
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:58,580
complaint managers, so we hadn't go through and I'll see. So that's what the

1868
02:12:58,580 --> 02:13:05,200
majority of things are. I realize it was just this again. I

1869
02:13:08,270 --> 02:13:09,410
have a quick

1870
02:13:09,410 --> 02:13:18,590
question. I'm 710 and the attribution that was made on 710, I never looked. That

1871
02:13:23,130 --> 02:13:28,010
I didn't, I didn't know the purpose of that was other than was maybe part of your meeting.

1872
02:13:29,270 --> 02:13:42,990
So, so 710, if there's policy and then there's two procedures and we consider both of those procedures in community and one of those we had some numbers of the public and spoke to us, that's not the one that was decided to it fall.

1873
02:13:43,490 --> 02:13:46,570
Okay. I just, that's why I was confused that it was in the back.

1874
02:13:46,570 --> 02:13:46,710
Okay.

1875
02:13:46,990 --> 02:13:47,230
All right.

1876
02:13:47,410 --> 02:13:49,250
Well, it's 7 times 8 key 2.

1877
02:13:49,790 --> 02:13:50,170
Okay.

1878
02:13:50,390 --> 02:13:50,530
Yeah.

1879
02:13:50,770 --> 02:13:52,210
Was there 7 times 8 key 1?

1880
02:13:52,370 --> 02:13:52,610
Should not.

1881
02:13:52,970 --> 02:13:53,130
Okay.

1882
02:13:53,610 --> 02:13:55,190
So that's in the back there.

1883
02:13:56,110 --> 02:13:57,010
Was I on that?

1884
02:13:57,130 --> 02:13:57,210
It was.

1885
02:13:57,390 --> 02:13:58,150
I think it's AP 2.

1886
02:13:58,370 --> 02:13:58,930
It's AP 2.

1887
02:13:59,150 --> 02:13:59,490
Okay.

1888
02:14:01,330 --> 02:14:02,250
I just saw that.

1889
02:14:02,250 --> 02:14:03,210
I saw it at the end.

1890
02:14:06,840 --> 02:14:07,540
It's just the second.

1891
02:14:07,680 --> 02:14:08,320
It was a second.

1892
02:14:08,320 --> 02:14:08,540
Yeah.

1893
02:14:08,700 --> 02:14:09,700
The second part was in 1.

1894
02:14:10,280 --> 02:14:11,360
I think in a second.

1895
02:14:14,830 --> 02:14:15,230
Okay.

1896
02:14:16,150 --> 02:14:17,170
So we are.

1897
02:14:17,390 --> 02:14:18,290
We are.

1898
02:14:18,510 --> 02:14:18,950
I don't know.

1899
02:14:18,990 --> 02:14:21,810
I don't know.

1900
02:14:21,810 --> 02:14:33,890
changing. There's no proposal to change the to, you know, to reflect anything on what was

1901
02:14:33,890 --> 02:14:42,850
proposed by the community member proposal. Okay. I know we had one, so that. Well, so yeah,

1902
02:14:43,010 --> 02:14:49,630
okay. It's just the contact information. Yeah. What was the discussion and I appreciate

1903
02:14:49,630 --> 02:14:59,970
Yeah, no, I appreciate the work that they did. I really do, but I feel like the policy that we...

1904
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:29,640
Yeah, you know, we're within the framework of IASB and the throngs of attorneys that do that. So, okay. That was my, that was my only question. Thank you. Okay. Oh, Guardian, Guardian was taken out of one of those and I thought that was one. Maybe it wasn't. There was so much red. It was hard to see. There was a lot. There was a lot of red. I'm like, there's another part. And a lot of the, but don't see it changed as well, which then don't hear in the car.

1905
02:15:31,240 --> 02:15:37,560
Yeah, I just want to note to myself, there was some parent guardian, guardian was struck and I was thought that was funny.

1906
02:15:38,240 --> 02:15:39,200
Maybe it was a miss.

1907
02:15:40,500 --> 02:15:42,900
This generally we have guardian accommodated in there.

1908
02:15:47,240 --> 02:15:49,520
That was my only question on this.

1909
02:15:50,860 --> 02:15:53,580
All right, I will let you know before next time.

1910
02:15:54,020 --> 02:15:54,540
It is in there.

1911
02:15:54,920 --> 02:15:55,260
Thank you.

1912
02:15:55,500 --> 02:15:56,160
All right.

1913
02:15:56,660 --> 02:15:58,020
Okay. Thank you very much.

1914
02:16:01,860 --> 02:16:11,880
Is there any new business? A board member requests I actually have one and it just came up from something that sets at the very beginning from the budget.

1915
02:16:12,380 --> 02:16:20,580
Something just to keep in mind and maybe from the back of your on the agenda for the 2028 budget.

1916
02:16:21,120 --> 02:16:23,580
We do a lot of outsourcing in certain areas.

1917
02:16:23,860 --> 02:16:24,660
Certain makes sense.

1918
02:16:25,080 --> 02:16:29,140
Can we maybe look at any places to self-perform or work?

1919
02:16:29,140 --> 02:16:31,380
And does it make sense financially?

1920
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:33,260
Maybe moving forward?

1921
02:16:34,320 --> 02:16:35,540
Just need to look at it again.

1922
02:16:42,380 --> 02:16:43,620
And we have a few questions.

1923
02:16:46,440 --> 02:16:49,720
Hey, this time I will open the floor

1924
02:16:49,720 --> 02:16:52,360
for public participation and we'd like to address the board.

1925
02:16:54,700 --> 02:16:57,400
So you know when I will close public participation,

1926
02:16:57,400 --> 02:17:00,400
may get a motion to adjourn, so moved.

1927
02:17:00,960 --> 02:17:01,180
Sorry.

1928
02:17:01,720 --> 02:17:02,180
Clara?

1929
02:17:03,400 --> 02:17:03,920
Nolan?

1930
02:17:04,360 --> 02:17:04,660
Yes.

1931
02:17:05,020 --> 02:17:05,340
Sandra?

1932
02:17:05,580 --> 02:17:05,760
Yes.

1933
02:17:06,020 --> 02:17:06,580
I'm the Lord.

1934
02:17:06,760 --> 02:17:06,880
Yes.

1935
02:17:07,160 --> 02:17:07,760
That's Dan.

1936
02:17:07,980 --> 02:17:08,140
Yes.

1937
02:17:08,400 --> 02:17:08,580
Yes.
