>> START IF YOU WANT [OVERLAPPING].
[00:00:04]
>> WE HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE BY SEVEN O'CLOCK.
>> PROBABLY NOT BE DONE BY SEVEN O'CLOCK [OVERLAPPING].
[1. CONVENE]
>> I WILL BE LEAVING JUST BEFORE SEVEN [LAUGHTER].
>> WE COULD BE DONE BY SEVEN [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING].
>> FOR NOW WE'RE NOT WAIT FOR ANYBODY, WE'LL GET STARTED THEN IF WE'RE OKAY.
I DON'T KNOW, KEVIN, YOU JUST WANT TO HIT RECORD, IF WE'RE-.
>> OKAY. PERFECT. I GUESS WE'RE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY SPEAKS HEAD OVER ESSENTIALLY TALKING INTO THE MICROPHONE BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE CAN GET STARTED.
WE'LL JUST, BEING THAT EVERYBODY'S IN PERSON, THIS MONTH WE'LL JUST DO ROLL-CALL LEFT AROUND THE CIRCLE.
>> MARTIN HARKING, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> HOUSTON MAYERS, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> DAN CORNELSON, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> JAMIE BLANKET BED, SPRING HILL SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> MIKE [INAUDIBLE], BOND OVERSIGHT.
>> SIENNA MCMILLAN, BOND OVERSIGHT.
>> [INAUDIBLE] NELSON, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> TEMI LONGSTAR SPRING HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH ADOPTING THE AGENDA UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENTS OR ADDITIONS, SUBTRACTIONS.
>> WE'LL MOVE TO ADOPT THE AGENDA.
>> AGENDA IS ADOPTED AS WRITTEN.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, ADDITIONS.
IF NOT, WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE AS WRITTEN.
>> YOU NEED TO ACCEPT AS WRITTEN.
>> ANY OPPOSED. MINUTES FROM APRIL ARE APPROVED AS WRITTEN.
[2. PUBLIC COMMENT]
NO PUBLIC HERE, AND WE ARE NOT HOPING WE'RE LIVE ON ZOOM AND THERE'S USUALLY NEVER ANYBODY ON THERE ANYWAY.>> IT DOESN'T SAY ACTUALLY WHAT TOPIC I RATHER DO BEFORE WE COULD DO THAT NOW.
>> YES. THAT WAS THE NEXT CONVERSATION, WAS ANY CONVERSATIONS REGARDING TOPICS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP TO YOU OR ANYONE IN THE GROUP OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO?
>> THE ONLY TOPIC IS MR. SHIN TAFFER'S WONDERING HOW HE GETS A HOLD OF THE GYM FLOOR PIECES.
>> OKAY HE'S ALREADY MADE HIM. [OVERLAPPING]
I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH HIM FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
>> BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT AND THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU DIDN'T HAVE IT AND SO HE CONTACTED? [OVERLAPPING]
>> I HAVE A FRIEND, EL WHO'S FRIENDS WITH HIM.
>> EL TALKED TO ME, YOU KNOW EL?
>> TAFFER CALLED ME IN. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGH THAT WE SHOULD FINALIZE IT TOMORROW.
BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE COMING UP WITH THE STANDARD PANEL SIZE.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO FEETS BY 10 FEETS PIECES.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT NUMBER WE'RE CHARGING, BUT 325,300 BUCKS A PIECE FOR TWO REASONS TO PAY THE CONTRACTOR TO DO IT.
BUT THEN ALSO, WE JUST WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT WANTING IT, GETTING ON THE LIST.
WE'RE TRYING TO REASONABLY ACCOMMODATE, BUT NOT HOW TO GET OUT OF CONTROL.
MR. SHIN KAFIR HE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
>>THERE MIGHT BE OTHERS TOO BUT I SAY, HE WAS WONDERING,.
>> THE PLAN, JAMIE, ONCE WE FINALIZE IT, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO POP SOMETHING ON THE WEBSITE SAYING LET US KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE ON THAT LIST AND THEN YOU GOT A CERTAIN NUMBER.
>> IS THERE A PROFIT IN THIS. THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT THAT'S GOING TO GET REPURPOSED.
>> I ASSUME THOSE WILL BE STRATEGICALLY.
>> STRIKE OUT ON THE FLOOR AND THE WORDING AND THE LOGOS AND THE YADI YADA.
[00:05:02]
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S PRACTICAL TO TRAP THE WHOLE FLOOR UP IN THE THESIS, BUT YOU GET FEW DOZEN OR SOMETHING.
PROBABLY MORE THAN ENOUGH. I'M SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TAKERS FOR THAT.
>> THESE WOULD BE INDIVIDUALS THAT GET A SECTION OF THE FLOOR BECAUSE THEY WANT IT PERSONALLY OR?
>> WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO USE IT IN THE WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE NEW DISTRICT DURING THE HISTORY OF BREWING, [OVERLAPPING] HE WENT TO THE WALL APPLICATIONS OR SOME BAR TOPS OR SOMETHING.
>> SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT LIKE HIGH BAR TABLES AND SET SOME PIECES UP ON THE WALL.
>> THAT'D BE PRETTY COOL. THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WAS MENTIONED THROUGH EL WAS.
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S ALL INVOLVED BUT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, MAYBE TRYING TO TURN THEM INTO SOME PLAQUES AND DO SOME FUNDRAISING WITH THEM.
>> THAT WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY.
CAN ALSO MENTION THERE'S NO PLAN WITH BOND MONEY TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE BRICKS BUT KEN DID GET CONFIRMATION THAT THEY AREN'T AS BEST AS COMPONENTS.
GUESS WHAT THE ROOM APPLIED IN WITH THE ROOF.
>> NONE IN THE MORTAR. MOVING FORWARD, I THINK IT'S PRETTY REASONABLE TO JUST SET THE DEMO CONTRACT OR MAKE A PILE AND THEN WHATEVER ENTITY IS DOING THAT FUNDRAISING THING.
IT MIGHT BE MEETING WITH A SHOVEL AND A TRAILER ON THE WEEKEND OR SOMETHING STUPID.
COMING IN ON SOME AMOUNT OR SOMETHING.
>> YEAH. IT'S EASY. I'M TECHNICALLY A CONTRACT FOR ON THE SITE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT LIABILITY STUFFS.
>> SPEAKS ALL OF THESE ARE BRICKS FROM WHITE GOLD MAIN, RIGHT?
>> SPEAKING FOR THE BOOSTER CLUB, I WOULD SAY I WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT.
>> TRAILING PROVIDER. PERFECT.
>> IT WON'T BE TILL NEXT SPRING.
>> THAT NOT BEST BUT, IT HAS BEEN ON THE DOCKET SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT.
CONTACT WITH THAT AS FAR AS THAT GOES.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'VE MADE A GROUP THAT'S DOING THAT STUFF, BUT AS FAR AS LIKE FUNDRAISING STUFF OR THEY HAVE BEEN DEFAULTED TO BOOSTER OR ANYWHERE IN THIS.
>> I KNOW THAT FFA HAS ALSO TALKED ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING.
>> BUT THE CURRENT PACE, IT'LL END UP BEING A PILE OF BRICKS IN THE CORNER AND COORDINATING WE CAN COMBINE ALL OF THAT.
>> I KNOW LIKE TONY TORRETTA, MAY HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED THAT THEY WANTED TO DO.
>> I THINK THAT'D BE GREAT IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING.
IF WE CAN JUST GET COORDINATES SOMETHING AGAIN, MAY JUST BE IN A NIGHT,.
>> ALL OF THEM BETWEEN EVERYBODY?.
>> I JUST SAW THE TRAILER AND JUST GET THEM OFF SITE.
THEN WHATEVER HAPPENS SOON AFTER THAT POINT IS NOT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S PROBLEM ANYMORE.
>> IT'S NOT HAPPENING UNTIL JANUARY, FEBRUARY SO FORGOT LOTS OF TIMES.
>> I STILL FEEL LIKE ITS NOT REALLY A POINT FOR THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS
>> THERE IS REALLY SOME PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING THIS IS OUR 50TH REUNION THIS SUMMER 1972, 50 YEARS.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE.
THEY'RE WANTING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A TOUR AND I KNOW GUYS, THIS IS WE CAN TAKE A BUNCH OF OLD FARTS THROUGH THE ELDERLY PEOPLE, THROUGH THE BUILDING AND DO THE WHOLE THING.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THIS IS THE 50 YEAR REUNION.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED.
>> THE OLD BUILDING, OR THE NEW BUILDING?.
>> THAT'S SOMETHING YOU AND I NEED TO TALK ABOUT MAYBE.
I'M SURE WE CAN WORK THAT OUT.
>> I THINK OLD BUILDING WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT EASIER THAN NEW BUILDING.
>> YES NEW BUILDING. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YEAH. YEAH. I MEAN, GRANTED YOU'LL HAVE THE GYM AREA SECTIONED OFF ON THE DEMO, RIGHT? BUT YOU COULD GET INTO THE REST OF THE SCHOOL PROBABLY PRETTY EASILY.
LIKE YOU'RE THINKING LIKE MOST OF THOSE DAYS.
>> THAT'S WHEN WE'RE PUTTING THE THING TOGETHER.
[00:10:01]
I SAID, THIS ISN'T SOMETHING I WANT TO DUMP ON KURT.>> TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THROUGH.
>> WELL, IT'LL BE A WEEKEND THING ANYWAY.
>> MAYBE AN EXISTING SCHOOL TOUR WITH A WALK?
>> YEAH, LOOKING THROUGH THE FENCE?
>> WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE COOL IN ITSELF.
>> I MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW A 30-YEAR CLASS THAT WANTS TO ALSO DO THAT.
[NOISE] THEY SAY I'M NOT OLD BUT [OVERLAPPING] I'M JUST SAYING.
>> SOMEBODY A LOT OLDER THAN YOU BROUGHT IT UP?
>> WELL, AT LEAST THE 30-YEAR GROUP, THE CURVE IT'S, THE SAME.
>> THE CURVE, YEAH [LAUGHTER].
>> WE'RE ALMOST THERE [LAUGHTER].
>> THE SMELL WILL STILL BE THERE.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THE PUBLIC COMMENT, COMMUNITY DISCUSSION TOPICS?
>> I HAD A LITTLE OVER HALF A DOZEN OR SO, MAYBE HALF A DOZEN STAFF TEACHERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL BROUGHT UP THAT THEY FELT LIKE THEY WERE NOT WHETHER IT WAS JUST NOT ADVERTISED WELL ENOUGH.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THE VOTING TOOK PLACE, BUT THE COMMENT TO ME WAS, I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANYTHING ABOUT VOTING ON FURNITURE AND I THINK THERE'S MAYBE SOME RUMORS GOING AROUND ABOUT THE TYPE OF FURNITURE THAT'S BEING PURCHASED.
ONE COMMENT WAS IN THE TEACHERS ROOMS, WHERE THEY WORK, NOT THE CLASSROOM BUT WHERE THEIR CO-WORKING ROOM IS.
THE DESKS THAT THEY HAVE DON'T HAVE DRAWERS IS WHAT ONE RUMOR WAS.
I SAID, WELL, DID SOUND REALISTIC BUT I'LL BRING THAT UP AND WE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE SOMEBODY LOOK INTO IT.
>> JOE, IT'S FAIRLY UNCOMMON TO HAVE DRAWERS NOWADAYS ON THE FURNITURE.
IT'S ACTUALLY UNCOMMON TO HAVE DRAWERS.
BECAUSE MOST SPACES NOWADAYS ARE DESIGNING FLEXIBLES, THEY WANT THE FURNITURE TO BE LIGHTER.
TYPICALLY DRAWERS COME IN THE SHAPE OF STORAGE, MOBILE STORAGE PEDESTALS, OTHER TYPE OF STORAGE, BUT THE DESKS THEMSELVES ARE LIGHTWEIGHT.
I'D HAVE TO DIVE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED TO NOT HEAR DRAWERS.
>> BUT IT'S ALSO APPLICATION ISSUE TOO, BECAUSE WHEN THEY START ACTING LIKE THIS, IT JUST SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL.
I WAS LIKE, JUST RAIN THAT THE TEACHERS NEVER REALLY BACK IN.
BECAUSE THERE WAS A GOOD VOTING PERIOD ON THE FURNITURE AND I REVIEWED EVERY FURNITURE FOR THE BUILDING AND NOTHING WAS QUALITY-WISE, ANYTHING TO BLOCK OUT, WHICH IS TYPICALLY WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED WITH IS THAT THE FURNITURE DOESN'T FALL APART.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, THIS IS CHANGE MANAGEMENT.
THIS REACTION IS CHANGE MANAGEMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE USED TO AN OLD-STYLE OF DESK AND NOW THEY HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL FLEXIBLE CO-WORKING SPACE. THAT KIND OF WE'RE THERE.
I THINK COMMUNICATION IS REALLY THE KEY OF ANSWERING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS, LIKE WITH THE LADIES IT WAS WHERE DO I LOCK MY PURSE? [OVERLAPPING] THAT KIND OF THING.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THOSE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> I'M NOT SAYING THEY DON'T, I'M SAYING THE PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW.
>> IT'S HONESTLY NO MISTAKE IF ANYBODY ELSE IT'S JUST PEOPLE FEAR CHANGE.
THIS IS JUST CIRCLING BACK AND EXPLAINING WHAT THE INTENTION OF DESIGN IS, WHAT THE FURNITURE IS, AND MOVING FORWARD.
>> THE OTHER PART OF THIS THAT CAUSES SOME OF THIS IS THE FACT THAT THE PRINCIPAL WHO STARTED THE PROJECT THAT WAS IN ALL THE MEETINGS ISN'T HERE ANYMORE.
YOU HAVE ERIC WHO'S COME ON BOARD LATER, WHO WASN'T AT THE VERY BEGINNING AND HAS GOT CAUGHT UP GREAT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME KNOWLEDGE AND THE PRINCIPAL THAT IS THERE NOW AS FAR AS THE WHOLE PROJECT, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO GO THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS, WHICH IS ERIC, TRIP AND RAV, AND THEY WILL FIND OUT ANYTHING THEY NEED TO FIND OUT.
>> YEAH. I GUESS IN THEIR DEFENSE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT IT CHANGED PEOPLE.
ALSO, WHEN THEY ASK ME, [NOISE] I BRING PUBLIC COMMENTS.
>> THIS TECHNICALLY IS A FORM OF PROPER CHANNEL.
>> YOUR NAME NEVER HAD A PROJECT THAT DIDN'T HAVE THIS IN IT.
>> LIKE I JUST PLAN FOR THIS, IS PART OF THE CONVERSATION ESPECIALLY WITH TURNOVER AND A PROJECT THIS LONG.
>> ESPECIALLY ADD STUDENTS INTO THE NEXT TWO AND THEN TURNOVER GETS QUICKER.
[00:15:02]
NO, IT'S JUST TIME TO LOOP.>> I DON'T THINK IT'S ANYTHING THAT'S INSURMOUNTABLE.
I THINK IT'S JUST A COMMUNICATION TOOL.
I DIDN'T SAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, I JUST SAID, OKAY, I'LL BRING IT BACK.
KNOWING THAT A NEW BUILDING IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN AN OLD BUILDING, I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY THAT.
I THINK, I GUESS THAT PROBABLY THE LESSON IS, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION.
>> WELL, IT'S BIGGER THAN THAT TOO IN THIS PROJECT.
>> REAL QUICK. BECAUSE THEY LOST PRIVATE SPACE IN THEIR OWN CLASSROOM.
NOW THEY HAVE NO PRIVATE SPACE IN THEIR OWN WORK AREA.
IT'S NOT JUST THERE'S NO DRAWERS, THEY NO LONGER HAVE THEIR OWN CLASSROOM [NOISE] THAT THEY OWN AND CAN STORE STUFF.
I'M HOPING THAT THERE IS PERSONAL SPACE.
>> I'M WORKING ON AS WE SPEAK. HE'S WORKING WITH PEREL TO GET CUT SHEETS ON ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF FURNITURE THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO THE TEACHERS FOR PERSONAL STORAGE.
THEY'VE GOT THE CABINET IN THE PLANNING ROOM, THEY'VE GOT THE DESK IN THE PLANNING ROOM.
WHICH YOU'RE CORRECT, THEY DON'T HAVE DRAWERS, BUT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CUBICLE.
THEN WITHIN THE CLASSROOM THERE ARE SO MANY PUBLIC SPACES AND THERE'S CERTAIN AMOUNT SET ASIDE WHERE THE TEACHER CAN STORE SOME PERSONAL THINGS.
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS, TRYING TO COME UP WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CUT SHEETS AND MAYBE SOME 3D MODELS TO SHOW THE TEACHERS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET.
RIGHT NOW I'M SETTING UP A MEETING WITH RALPH FOR LATER IN JUNE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH ALL THE TEACHERS TO DO A MOVING MEETING, PREPARE THE TEACHERS FOR WHERE THEY'RE GOING, HOW MUCH PERSONAL SPACE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE RELOCATING TO, AND FILL IN A BUNCH OF THOSE PIECES.
AT THE END OF JUNE WHEN WE HAVE THAT MEETING, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO RECEIVE AND WHEN THEY'LL DO THE MOVING.
PART OF THAT EXERCISE IS TO DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A MILE OF ROOM LIKE THEY USED TO AND THEY NEED TO TAKE THE PURGING PROCESS SERIOUSLY WHERE THEY'RE GETTING RID OF A LOT OF THE 20-YEAR-OLD COLLECTIONS, WHICH IS ALWAYS A REALLY BIG DEAL.
IT WAS A BIG DEAL AT T-HOME AS WELL.
>> I'M WORKING WITH PEREL TO DO SOME PRESENTATION AT THAT MEETING LATER IN JUNE.
THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF US, BUT THAT COMMUNICATION IS FORTHCOMING
>> GOOD. I THINK THAT'S GREAT.
I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
I'D SAY DO IT BEFORE THE 17TH BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN SEE HIM AFTER THAT.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME IN JUST TO TALK TO YOU [OVERLAPPING].
>> WELL, SHE ASKED TO DO IT ON THE 16TH WHICH I FLY IN FROM KUWAIT ON 15TH, WHICH PUTS ME IN A BIT OF A BIND.
>> YEAH. BECAUSE AFTER THAT FRIDAY OR SATURDAY I AIN'T COMING BACK.
>> THE OTHER THING I'LL SAY TOO, IS WE HAD A LONG MEETING ABOUT THIS WHERE CSG OR EXCUSE ME, CORNERSTONE HAS A FORMER PRINCIPAL THAT'S GONE THROUGH THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN HER CAREER.
>> THAT HELPED US START MAKING THE PLAN OF THE MOVE.
ONE OF THE THINGS SHE REALLY EMPHASIZED IS SHE TOLD RAV ACTUALLY YOU BETTER SCHEDULE MORE TIME THAN YOU REALLY THINK YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR NEW SPACES.
>> BECAUSE IT HAS CHANGED OWING TO [OVERLAPPING] TRISTAN'S COMMENTS.
IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THAT YOU'RE HEARING THINGS LIKE THAT ON YOUR END AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HEAR THINGS ABOUT STUFF THAT THEY APPEAR TO BE UNHAPPY WITH AND WE'RE AWARE OF THAT.
I'M TRYING TO MAKE THE TRANSITION AS BEST AS WE CAN.
BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN A LACK OF COMMUNICATION.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR TO THE TEAM THAT'S THERE NOW.
>> I'M NOT SAYING IT'S BEEN A LACK OF.
IT'S WORKING CONDITIONS IS A BARGAINED FOR ITEM AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION.
I DON'T THINK IT'S IN THE BOND OVERSIGHT'S COMMITTEE.
HE SAID THE PUBLIC COMMENT, WE MOVE ON. WE HEARD IT.
I THINK ANY CONVERSATION THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO BE TO THE DETRIMENT OF EITHER.
IT'S GOING TO PIN PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
I DON'T NECESSARILY THINKING OF 10 PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE JUST SETTLING IN WHAT THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS.
TO ME, IT'S LIKE I'VE ALREADY ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM IN A PROJECT, I WOULD EDUCATE THEM ABOUT NEW CONCEPTS IN EDUCATION.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE FURNITURE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS, I WOULD BE BROACHING OTHER TOPICS COMPLETELY BECAUSE ONCE THEY WRAP THEIR HEAD AROUND WHAT THEIR FUTURE LOOKS LIKE AFTER FERNDALE HIGH SCHOOL HAS BEEN THE SAME WAY FOR DECADES,
[00:20:02]
THEY SLOWLY COME TO TERMS WITH WHY THE FURNITURE LOOKS THE WAY IT LOOKS.BUT IF YOU TRY TO FORCE THE BACK ISSUE, EVEN SHARING IT'S BED SHEETS, THEIR BRAIN DOESN'T WANT TO SEE SPEC SHEETS.
I WOULD SAY, YOU EDUCATE THEM ABOUT WHY THERE'S THESE THEY'RE LOOKING THIS WAY, WHAT THE BENEFIT IS OF THEM.
THEY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE, IT'S GOING TO CHANGE.
PEOPLE JUST DON'T LIKE TO BE SURPRISED EVEN IF THEY DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE? SO AS LONG AS YOU GIVE THEM THE HEADS UP, THE 3D MODELS, WHY IT'S DESIGNED THAT WAY, THEY'RE NOT SURPRISED ANYMORE.
SO YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK THERE.
>> YEAH. I ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO SEE IF WE COULD GET SAMPLES TO BRING OUT.
BUT IT'S ALL BUILT TO ORDER SO THERE ARE NO SAMPLES TO BE HEARD.
I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE BETTER THAN A 3D MODEL.
BUT AT THIS POINT, THE 3D MODEL IS WHAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON.
WE CAN GET THE MODELS WE CAN FROM THE MANUFACTURERS, BUT THEN [INAUDIBLE] CAN HELP US PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN AROUND A MODEL FOR A ROOM OR AS THE PLANNING ROOM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> YEAH. I THINK THAT'S GREAT.
THE OTHER ONE WAS THE PERFORMING ARTS DIRECTORS.
THE TWO THAT ARE IN CHARGE OF THAT.
I FELT A LITTLE BIT IN THE DARK IN THE SENSE THAT I KNOW THAT FOR ME, MY PERSPECTIVE, I KNOW THAT IT'S A WAYS OUT THE WORK OUT THERE.
BUT I THINK ABOUT IT FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND THEY PLAN, 6-9 MONTHS IN ADVANCE OF A PERFORMANCE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PURCHASE THE RIGHTS AND DO ALL THESE THINGS.
SO THEY'RE JUST A LITTLE BIT WORRIED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PURCHASE THE RIGHTS FOR PERFORMANCE AND NOT BE IN THE BUILDINGS.
SO THEY JUST WANTED TO HAVE MAYBE A LITTLE COMMUNICATION ON WHEN AND WHERE THAT WORK IS.
I THINK THAT THAT'S ALL THAT THEY REALLY ARE ASKING FOR.
THEY'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING CRAZY, JUST I KNOW THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST WORRIED ABOUT TIME DOWN.
BECAUSE THEY DO PAY A FEW $1000 AND THEY DON'T HAVE A HUGE BUDGET SO GETTING THOSE RIGHTS IS A BIG DEAL FOR THEM SO THEY DON'T WANT TO PROBABLY TIE INTO SOME RAGS THAT THEY CAN'T GET OUT OF AND THEY CAN'T USE THEM.
>> IS THE SCOPE OF WORK STILL IN FLUX FOR THE PARK?
>> WE'VE BEEN MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET, BUT WE HAVE PINNED DOWN WHAT THE SEISMIC FROM UPGRADE NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE.
WE'VE GOT DOLLARS PUT TO THAT, WE'VE GOT DOLLARS PUT TO THE DIFFERENT PARKS OR EXCUSE ME NOT THE PARKS BUT THE ALTERNATE SET WENT ALONG WITH THE PARK.
SO WE'LL PROBABLY BE READY TO TALK THAT THROUGH NEXT MONTH.
WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH JAMIE AND ERIC, PINNING DOWN ON THOSE SUPPLIED ITEMS. WE'RE IN OUR FINAL PUSH TO REALLY PIN DOWN THE BUDGET IN ITS FINAL FORM, IF YOU WILL.
IT'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK, BUT PRETTY MUCH ERIC AND JAMIE HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE STAFF.
WE'VE GOT A LIST, WE'VE GOT THE PRICES PUT TO THE LIST.
SO I PRETTY MUCH GOT THAT BUDGET BEFORE AT THIS POINT.
THEN WE DID JUST RECEIVE IN THIS LAST WEEK, THE NUMBERS FROM CORNERSTONE ON THE PARK TOWARDS IN THAT FINAL BUDGET STRATEGY.
>> I THINK THAT WORK WAS SLATED FOR NEXT SUMMER.
>> USUALLY WE DO SHOWS AT SUMMER.
SO THEY'LL BE LOOKING AT JUST NOT DOING SOMETHING OR MOVING IN OR WHATEVER.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I THINK IT IS SAFE TO ASSUME THAT WHOLE SUMMER IS GOING TO BE TURNED OUT.
>> THE SITE'S GOING TO BE PRETTY ROUGH TOO, ISN'T IT? AROUND THE BUILDING?
>> THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE DOING THE WHOLE PARKING LOT AND EVERYTHING.
NEXT SUMMER IS ALMOST NO ACCESS HERE AGAIN.
>> YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE PULLING UP.
>> I GUESS COMBINED AND MAYBE ENCOURAGE WHEN YOU GET THOSE THINGS, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING, ENCOURAGE THEM TO GO THROUGH. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT GO THROUGH THE CHANNELS AT THE SCHOOL.
THERE'S A REASON WE HAVE, ERIC SITS ON EVERY SINGLE MEETING THAT I'M AT, SO THAT THERE IS A CONDUIT DIRECTLY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL THAT KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON.
MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHO TO ASK. I DON'T KNOW.
I DID GO TO A PERFORMANCE A COUPLE OF FRIDAYS AGO. IT WAS A MIDDLE SCHOOL.
MY FRIEND'S DAUGHTER WAS IN ONE OF THEIR PERFORMANCES [OVERLAPPING] AND THEY ARE REALLY GOOD.
THEY'VE GOT A GOOD PROGRAM. I WAS SO IMPRESSED.
>> IT'S LIKE A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTION.
[00:25:02]
IT WAS GREAT. I WAS BLOWN AWAY.>> [OVERLAPPING] ONE OF THE BIGGEST PERFORMING ARTS IN A STATE LIKE THE STAGE, THE SIZE OF THE STAGE, THE SIZE OF THE AUDITORIUM, THEY DON'T MAKE THEM THAT BIG ANYMORE. NOBODY CAN AFFORD IT.
>> YEAH, IT'S REALLY USUALLY FULL.
>> THAT'S ALL THE COMMENTS YOU CAN MONETIZE.
>> ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE ON PUBLIC COMMENT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM WITH [INAUDIBLE]?
[3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]
WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC.I SAID WE GOT UPDATED CRITICAL PROJECTS IN THE DASHBOARD WHICH AT THIS POINT ARE ON AUTOPILOT FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM.
>> I ALSO NOTICED THEY MOVE IN MATH THAT'S ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS POINT.
>> IT IS AND ALSO. [BACKGROUND].
>> ONE OF THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND ONE AT THE GROCERY OUTLET.
>> FOLLOW UP. FROM LAST MONTH, THERE IS A TOUR.
THERE'S TWO TIMES SLOTS, NOON AND ONE ON THURSDAY.
TAMMY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HAD ANYBODY SIGN UP FOR.
>> YEAH. TRISTAN IS GOING TO BE AT NOON, LAUREN IS AT ONE.
>> OKAY. THERE'S AGAIN, THREE OF US ALLOWED AT EACH TOUR.
I GIVE MYSELF A SELF-GUIDED TOUR ON A WEEKLY BASIS, SO I'M GOING TO PASS.
>> IS IT CLEAR WHERE YOU MEET FOR THE TOURS?
>> WE WANT TO MEET AT THE CORNERSTONE OFFICE.
SO YOU'LL COME IN AT THE RAILROAD ENTRANCE.
IF YOU WAIT, YOU'LL FIND A PLACE TO PARK NEAR THE TRAILER THERE AND I'M JUST COMING TO TRAILER.
I'M GOING TO BE ON THIS TOUR THIS TIME.
>> WHICH ONE IS STILL OPEN, TAMMY?
>> THERE'S A SLOT AT EACH TIME SET, 12 AND ONE.
>> I'LL GO WHERE JOE IS GOING? [BACKGROUND].
>> TWELVE NOON. DO YOU WANT TO DO 12?
>> I CANNOT MAKE THURSDAY WORK.
>> I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK EITHER SO YOU DON'T GET UP [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING].
>> [OVERLAPPING] I'D RATHER HOLD YOUR HAND AND TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP FLOOR.
>> HOW CLOSE? I DIDN'T KNOW. THERE'S NOTHING THERE
>> IT'S ALL GOOD. IT'S ALL GOOD, TAMMY.
>> I HAVE MEETINGS ALL DAY THURSDAY.
>> ALL RIGHT. ONE O'CLOCK, I'M SET. THANK YOU.
>> OKAY. IF IT DOES OPEN UP, ANYBODY STOOD UP AND UP ONE SLOT LEFT FOR NOON?
>> TRISTAN AND MIKE ARE BOTH GOING AT NOON?
>> CAN I COME WITH ANOTHER BABY AT A PERSONAL TOUR?
>> [LAUGHTER] OKAY. UPDATE ON SOLAR POWER GRANT, THERE WERE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT LAST MONTH.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY UPDATE TO HAVE OR OTHER THAN JUST.
>> I DID REACH OUT TO HARNESS AND WORKED THROUGH THAT.
THERE ARE NO ELECTRICAL GRANTS.
WE DON'T QUALIFY FOR ANY GRANTS.
WE MET THE MINIMUM CODE THRESHOLD AND TO GET THE GRANTS YOU HAVE TO EXCEED IT BY A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND THEN YOU WOULD BE ELIGIBLE.
BUT WE JUST MET THE CODE AT MINIMUM, BEFORE I WAS AROUND THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SOLAR, THE AMOUNT THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST AND THE DECISION THAT WAS MADE WAS NOT TO PUT IT IN THAT INFRASTRUCTURE.
THERE ARE SOME EXTRA CONDUITS THAT GO UP TO THE ROOF THAT CAN BE USED FOR THAT.
THAT IS AS FAR AS ANY OTHER TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE [INAUDIBLE].
THEN WHILE I'M TALKING ABOUT IT, I'M GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO FINALIZING THE GRANT WITH CASCADE NATURAL GAS.
THEY REQUIRE YOU TO TURN IN INVOICES ON ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT SHOWS THE COST, THE MAKE AND MODEL, SERIAL NUMBER.
I'LL BE TURNING THOSE IN BY TOMORROW.
NOW THAT ALL THE EQUIPMENT ARE IN PLACE, I'M GOING TO GO UP AND TAKE PICTURES.
I HAVE TO HAVE PICTURES OF EQUIPMENT STATING WHERE IT'S GOING.
I'LL GO THROUGH AND TAKE PICTURES OF ALL THE DATA PLATES AND SEND THAT OFF TO CASCADE AND THEN WE SHOULD BE DONE AND CROSS THE FINISH LINE FOR THAT.
>> WHAT KIND OF MONEY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
[00:30:02]
>> IT'S BIG, IT'S LIKE 65,000-70,000 DOLLARS.
THAT WAS ALL TEX, SO TEX WAS DOING IT AT SUE MASS FOR THEM AND HE SAID, HEY, WE'RE ALSO WORKING AT FERNDALE, CAN YOU LOOK AT THIS CASE? THEY DID AND SO WE JUST HANDED IT OFF TO ME, SO TEX DID THE WORK HIMSELF.
>> I TALKED THAT THROUGH WITH THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND THEN ACTUALLY TALKED IT THROUGH WITH THE GUY WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THAT PROGRAM AT PSC.
>> KEN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CODE DIFFERENCES OR WHATEVER YOU SAID WITH PSC.
>> DON'T QUOTE ME BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE YEARS, BUT THERE'S BEEN DIFFERENT ENERGY CODE UPDATES.
THERE WAS LIKE IN 2009 OR 2015.
>> IT'S EVERY SO MANY YEARS THEY RELEASE A NEW CODE FOR THAT PARTICULAR YEAR AND SO THEN THEY SET THE MINIMUM BENCHMARK FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY THE CODE.
IF IT PROVIDES THE 2015 CODE, WE MET THE REQUIREMENTS BUT WE DIDN'T EXCEED.
WE NEED TO EXCEED TO GET THE GRANT.
>> BUT THEN MIKE ALSO MENTIONED BEFORE THE MEETING THAT HE SAW SOME PROGRAM, WHATCOM COUNTY PROGRAM?
>> IF YOU'RE REPLACING TOILETS?
>> WHICH MAY BE 100 DOLLARS PER TOILET.
I WAS GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT AS WELL.
>> I THINK THEY ONLY HAVE 50 SPOTS FOR THE WHOLE COUNTY.
>> SO WE WOULD TAKE THE WHOLE THING?
[LAUGHTER] WE DON'T WANT THAT FRONT PAGE PRICE.
>> ARE THEY GETTING TO USE THEIR OLD PANELS? IS TONY, IS HE DOING SOMETHING WITH THEM AT LEAST?
>> YEAH, WE'RE STILL UTILIZING THOSE BUT NOTHING BIG.
>> YEAH, NOT ADDING INTO THEM OR TURNING IT INTO A DIFFERENT SYSTEM.
YOU'RE STILL GOING TO KEEP IT 16 PANELS OR WHATEVER YOU GOT?
>> WHAT'S THAT BACK FEED THROUGH THE CPE BUILDING, DOESN'T IT?
>> WE TALKED ABOUT MOVING THOSE.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S IN THE SCOPE.
>> IS HE GETTING TO PUT HIS WIND THING BACK UP TOO?.
>> ALL THAT JUST BACK FEEDS INTO THE SYSTEM REDUCES [OVERLAPPING]
>> THEY WERE WORKING ON WHERE TO PUT THE WIND TURBINE, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE THEY SETTLED.
WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE BEST SPOT.
>> YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOCATION WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE WIND INTERFERENCE AND THE BUILDING BEING THREE AND TWO STORIES TALL.
>> YEAH. [OVERLAPPING] WIND INTERFERENCE.
>> I WANTED TO PUT IT ON THE GRAND STAND, BUT I DIDN'T WIN THAT BATTLE. [LAUGHTER].
>> HOW ABOUT THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING?
>> I'M NOT SURE WHERE THEY LAST THEY LANDED ON THAT [LAUGHTER].
>> I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE WE LANDED ON THAT.
>> SOMEWHERE IN NORTHEAST SIDE PRIOR SOME SOUTH [OVERLAPPING]
>> I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT POTENTIALLY ON A LIGHT POLE FOR THE STADIUM.
I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE THEY LANDED ON IT.
>> SO 65 TO 70,000 DOLLARS GRANT FROM CSG.
>> WHAT WILL THAT BE SPENT ON? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR SOLAR PANELS?
>> A LOT OF MONEY [OVERLAPPING].
>> A LOT. WE ACTUALLY VALUE-ENGINEERED IT IN THE BEGINNING.
>> THAT'S WHY WE LOOKED AT IT, LOOKED AT THE COST, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO PAY IT BACK.
>> [OVERLAPPING] IT WAS SUPER SIGNIFICANT.
IT WAS A LONG TIME TO GET THE COST OF PUTTING THEM IN BACK.
>> YEAH, I KNOW AT SEA HOME IT WAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
THERE WAS A 200,000 DOLLAR DONATION THAT YOU RECOVERED YOURSELF.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THE TOPIC? I THINK WE'LL CLOSE THAT TOPIC AND THEN KEN, AS YOU FIND OUT MORE ON THE CASCADE NATURAL GAS.
WANTED TO JUST PUT AN UPDATE IN THE REPORT SOMEWHERE.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO HAVE IT AS A TOPIC EVERY MONTH ANY MORE.
3.02C, BI-ANNUAL REPORT TO THE BOARD, I THINK IT WENT WELL.
THE ONE BIG TAKEAWAY FROM THE REPORT AND SUBSEQUENT DISCUSSION WAS AROUND THE TOPIC OF ANY FUNDS THAT ARE LEFT AVAILABLE ON THE SAFETY, SECURITY, MAINTENANCE BUCKET.
[00:35:01]
I KNOW THAT THAT SCOPE AND BALANCE IS STILL UNDEFINED.IT MIGHT END UP BEING VERY MINIMAL WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE.
THEY ASKED AND I THINK RIGHTFULLY SAW THAT WE BRING THAT BALANCE BACK TO THEM TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AS THEY ARE THE ELECTED LEADERS IN THE DISTRICT, TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THAT MONEY VERSUS US OR THE DISTRICT USING THAT FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY LISTED ON THE BOND.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG TAKEAWAYS WHICH I THINK WAS GOOD.
OTHER THAN THAT I THINK THE REPORT WENT WELL.
>> I WATCHED IT BACK, I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE BEST PRESENTATION THAT YOU'VE MADE AND THEN I THOUGHT WAS THE BEST DISCUSSION THAT HAPPENED AROUND THAT TOPIC TOO.
>> YOU WERE THERE TOO, WEREN'T YOU?
>> YEAH, I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY GOOD TOO.
I THOUGHT THEY'RE VERY ENGAGED.
I THINK WE LEARNED SOMETHING THIS TIME TOO, THAT THEY DON'T SEE OUR REPORTS OR THE PACKETS THAT WE GET, THEY DON'T SEE.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT WE'RE IN.
>> THEY DID HAVE ANOTHER TOPIC THAT I THINK THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MAY BE INTERESTED IN.
THAT WAS ABOUT OPERATIONS POLICY, I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS CALLED.
IT WAS PROBABLY A THREE-PAGE DOCUMENT OR SO, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY PAGES IT WAS EXACTLY BUT IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU CAN READ IT, IT HAS HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION OF HOW THE PRIOR CAPITAL BONDS FAILED, SOME INSIGHT ON LEADERSHIP.
A LOT OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ISSUES WERE BROUGHT UP IN THAT REPORT.
I LEARNED A COUPLE OF NEW THINGS BY READING IT TOO.
BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THIS COMMITTEE GET THAT REPORT AND BE INFORMED A BIT MORE.
I ALSO THOUGHT IT HAD A PIECE IN IT ABOUT CAPITAL PLANNING AND LONG-TERM CAPITAL PLAN.
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND A LONG-TERM CAPITAL PLAN IS WHAT I THINK THIS COMMITTEE COULD GIVE ADVICE ON TO THAT POLICY.
I DON'T BELIEVE WE TALKED ON THE POLICY YET.
I BELIEVE THEIR FEEDBACK TO YOU IS BRING BACK RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE REMAINING FUNDS FOR SECURITY AND THEN THEY WOULD JUST SIGN ON IT.
>> I THINK THIS GROUP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ARE, BUT AS THE BOND WORK, CLOSE THIS OUT.
WHETHER IT'S FRAMED AS AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE OR A CAPITAL PLANNING COMMITTEE OR WHATEVER, I THINK THERE'S VALUE IN ADDITIONAL WORK BEYOND JUST THE BOND WORK BECAUSE THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A NEED IN THE DISTRICT FOR FUTURE CAPITAL PROJECTS.
I THINK THAT WAS GOOD, A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION, IT WAS NICE TO SEE IT ALL IN ONE PLACE.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE SEEN PIECES OF IT THROUGHOUT THE PAST FIVE YEARS THROUGH THE BOND TASK FORCE STUFF, BUT NOT ALL THAT LIKE GAVE THE WHOLE DECADE LONG STORY OF HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ERE.
>> HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE.
>> THAT WAS ON PURPOSE, FOR THAT REASON.
>> WHAT ONE OF US PUT TOGETHER FOR THAT REPORT.
>> I THINK DEFINITE VALUE IN OUR GROUP OR A SIMILAR GROUP TAKING THAT RETURN FORWARD, SO TO SPEAK.
THE DISTRICT IT'S ALSO NOT LEFT TO BE THE ONLY DECISION-MAKER.
>> HOW CAN THE DISTRICTS EVER BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE THAT IT HAD THIS GROUP OF CAPITAL VOTES? IT HAD THE FACILITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO ON TASK FORCE BUT NOW WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE LARGEST CAPITAL BILL, THE DISTRICT SCENE.
NOW WE CAN GO BACK AND FORM THE BEGINNING PART OF THE PROCESS BEFORE THEY DO THE NEXT CAPITAL BOND.
I DON'T THINK THEY'VE EVER HAD THAT BEFORE.
>> WE KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE PUBLIC HELP WITH MOVING THESE THINGS FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, WE KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PASS SOMETHING.
I MEAN, THAT'S THE WHOLE TALKING ABOUT LONG TERM AND LONG-RANGE PLANNING.
[00:40:06]
IT CAN'T BE JUST THE DISTRICT BECAUSE IT WON'T FLY.>> YEAH. THOSE THREE CAPITAL BOND FAILURES INFLATED THIS COST 20 PERCENT JUST FROM [OVERLAPPING] ESCALATION.
THAT'S THE FRUSTRATING PIECE IS THAT THIS COMMUNITY CAN'T FAIL ANYMORE.
WE GOT TO START GETTING THROUGH THE REST OF THE SCHOOLS THIS DAY PESTERING.
>> ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE REPORT? I GUESS MY FINAL COMMENT WOULD JUST BE WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, OBVIOUSLY NOT SEEING THE IN-DEPTH DETAIL.
I DO THINK THAT'S PROBABLY EVEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR US WITH THE PACE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE DO MAKE AN EFFORT TO DO THAT PROBABLY SO IT DOESN'T SLIP TO THAT FIVE MONTHS OR WHATEVER.
THEY ARE ADDRESSING A LONG AND WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS EVERY MONTH, RIGHT? THE BOND WORK IS REALLY ONLY PART OF IT, BUT THAT WOULD BE MEANING WE PROBABLY NEED TO START HAVING THE CONVERSATION NEXT MONTH ABOUT THE NEXT REPORT, AND FINALIZE IT A MONTH AFTER THAT.
>> I'VE GOT A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THAT.
>> I DID HEAR A COMMENT FROM A STAFF MEMBER AND I THINK SHE SENT YOU AN EMAIL.
>> SHE DID. [OVERLAPPING]. YEAH.
>> COMPLEMENTING THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL AND HOW SHE VALUES THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING.
>> YEAH. IT WAS GOOD. I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME OFF THE TOP MY HEAD, BUT I DID GET AN EMAIL THAT SAID THANK YOU AND IT'S BEEN REASSURING BOTH FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE THAT THIS COMMITTEE EXISTS.
I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF, BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE WE COME HERE EVERY MONTH AND BE ON ZOOM AND WE ALL TALK FOR TWO HOURS AND THEN WE LEAVE AND SOMETIMES THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT? IT MEANS THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING THE DAY-TO-DAY WORK ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.
WE DON'T HAVE TO COME HERE AND GET INTO A BIG FIGHT AND HAVE SUBCOMMITTEES TO ARGUE ABOUT WHATEVER.
>> SHOULD WE BE ENGAGING MORE INSTEAD OF BEING REACTIVE? LIKE SHOULD WE BE ENGAGING MORE [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE'VE RECOMMENDED THE DISTRICT TO SEND INFORMATION OUT.
I THINK THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF PUSHING IT FROM THE WEBSITE IS, FOR ME, NOW THERE IS COMMUNITY MEMBERS STANDPOINT, IT HAS PROBABLY MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU WOULD REALLY WANT TO OR NEED TO ABSORB.
I MEAN, WE CAN ALWAYS DO MORE RIGHT? THEY COULD ALWAYS.
>> JUST THINKING [NOISE] THAT THEY EXPECT US TO BE MORE VOCAL. [OVERLAPPING].
>> THAT'S OKAY I KNOW WE'RE DOING OKAY BUT IF IT'S ALL A NEGATIVE RESPONDENTS, [OVERLAPPING].
>> NO IT'S A VERY POSITIVE [OVERLAPPING].
I THINK THAT THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE. [INAUDIBLE]
>> EVERYBODY I TALKED TO HAS NO IDEA THAT ANY OF THIS EXISTS OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY SEE THE BUILDING GOING UP.
IT'S LIKE THEY ARE NOT ENGAGED BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE ENGAGED.
YOU KNOW LIKE I SAID, EVERYTHING IS GOOD.
>> YEAH, IT'S A MATTER OF SIGNING UP FOR AN EMAIL STRING THAT SHOWS UP EVERY FRIDAY AND READING IT, RIGHT? I MEAN, [NOISE] LIKE BOMB THE FEET, THE 100 AND SOMETHING NOW OR WHATEVER.
>> YOU GOT TO BE INTENTIONAL IF YOU WANT TO.
>> YEAH. I CAN SEPARATE THOSE [LAUGHTER].
>> THEN MARKETS HAS PUT HIS NAME ON THE BOTTOM.
[LAUGHTER] I WILL SAY FOR AS MUCH TIME AS I HAVE SPENT OVER.
I DON'T KNOW, THE LAST SIX YEARS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE LAKE, THE RESPONSE FROM A POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE HAS NEVER BEEN HIGHER THAN IT CURRENTLY IS.
FROM COMMUNITY PEOPLE JUST ASKING QUESTIONS.
THERE'S LOTS OF QUESTIONS GETTING ASKED ABOUT, WHEN THEY SEEM LIKE THEY'RE FISHING FOR WHAT'S THE DISTRICT SCREWING UP ON THIS TIME? DO THEY HAVE THIS AND YOU'RE LIKE, YEAH, THAT'S THERE.
BEEN PLANNING FOR THIS, YEAH, WE'RE PLANNING FOR THAT.
THAT'S A POSITIVE THING EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NOT THAT TON OF PEOPLE REACHING OUT.
IT'S LIKE YELP COMMENTS, RIGHT? LIKE NOBODY EVER LIKE TO TAKE SOME TIME TO GO ON AND SAY, "HEY, GOOD JOB" BUT NOBODY'S JUMPING ON AND SAY, "HEY,
[00:45:04]
BAD JOB" EITHER, SO BY DEFAULT, THAT'S A GOOD POSITIONING TO BE. FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH.>> YOU KNOW GOOD OPPORTUNITIES.
GINSBERG, THIS SUMMER, YOU ALMOST SEE THE FINISH LINE.
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TO WALK YOUR FINAL MARK ON THAT.
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME WE WANT TO PUT IT IN THIS BUT, WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE A LITTLE BOOTH AND AFTERNOON NAP AND BE THERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, AND THAT WOULD BE A MORE EXPOSURE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS PROJECT THE WHOLE TIME? I DON'T KNOW.
>> THE DISTRICTS HAD A BOOTH THERE IN THE PAST.
I KNOW WE DID WHEN WE WERE DOING THE TASK-FORCE STUFF [NOISE].
WE HAD A BOOTH THERE, I KNOW LAST SUMMER, I KNOW THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OR ANYA HELPED SET UP LIKE A DISPLAY THING WITH ALL THE SIGHTING AND FURNISHES AND ALL THAT STUFF.
FOR OLD SELLER, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE A BAD IDEA.
>> THAT'S LIKE THE BEST WAY TO GET US MONEY. [OVERLAPPING].
>> YEAH. TO SET UP A BOOTH AND LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF THE DISTRICT IS DOING THAT AGAIN, OR IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS BIG ELECTION. WELL, MAYBE IT DOESN'T.
>> I'D VOTE FOR YOU GUYS TO DO IT.
>>I FOR THE FIRST TIME [OVERLAPPING] WON'T BE IN TOWN FOR ALL [INAUDIBLE] TO LIVE WITH HIM. LAST WEEKEND.
>> I STAND THERE AND OVER THERE.
IF YOU WANT TO DELEGATE THEN DO IT. [OVERLAPPING].
>> MANAGE SET UP AND MANAGE A DISPLAY FOR WHOLESALERS?
>> I DON'T KNOW. IF WE NEED A MOTION? [LAUGHTER]
>> I DON'T KNOW IF WE WOULD SET UP A BOOTH SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BOND STUFF, BUT IF THE DISTRICT HAS, IF THEY ARE GOING TO RELEASE SOME TYPE OF OUTREACH, WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THEY EVEN [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT IT OR AT LEAST I HAVEN'T HEARD US TALKING ABOUT IT.
DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. YEAH.
>> THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE LIKE A TOPIC OR AN AGENDA ITEM LIKE YOUR HUSBAND IN THE PAST THAT WOULD REQUIRED.
BUT EVEN IF IT WAS JUST SETTING TOP-NOTCH, YOU GET ABOUT TRYING TO SET SOMETHING UP AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE-
>>YEAH JUST WITH THE MOVEMENT AND [OVERLAPPING] SOMETHING LIKE ITS NOT BE A BAD IDEA.
I THINK IT GOT MENTIONED, BUT IT'S UP ON THE WEBSITE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S AT [INAUDIBLE] AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, A COUPLE LOCATIONS.
WERE THERE ANY CHANGES FROM THE LAST TIME YOU SHOWED IT TO US?
>> TO THE MOVING MAP COMPARED TO LAST TIME WHEN YOU SHOWED US.
>> JUST THAT I DON'T REMEMBER THE TIMING WHEN I ADDED THE PACK.
>> HE ADDED A NOTE ABOUT THAT.
>> THAT WAS NOT DISCUSSED, TRUST ME.
I GOT UPDATED AND WAS PART OF THE PACKET BEFORE LAST MONTH OR SO.
THEN THERE'S SOME CONVERSATION LAST MONTH, I GUESS MOVING ON TO ITEM E. THERE'S SOME CONVERSATION LAST MONTH ABOUT SOME REMAINING BALANCES, SCOUT FUNDING, UTILIZATION.
HEIDI SENT ME AN EMAIL AND I APOLOGIZED, I READ IT WHEN SHE SENT IT TO ME.
TAMMY SENT IT OUT AND I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY THE VERBIAGE ON IT.
>> DO YOU WANT ME TO COME IN ON THIS?
>> NO. THEY'RE NOT HERE AND I DON'T KNOW KELVIN HOW FAMILIAR YOU ARE.
I THINK THAT'S HEIDI'S EXPERTISE.
>> I ACCEPT VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
>> MAYBE KEEP IT ON THE OLD BUSINESS.
IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA TO GET A BREAKDOWN FROM HER AT A MEETING SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ATTEND.
I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO PLAY A GAME OF TELEPHONE IF I TRY TO EXPLAIN THE ANSWER TO MY OWN QUESTION.
>> BRADLEY THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LEFTOVER BUDGET FOR SEED MATCH?
YOU HAVE TO PROVE. I DON'T WANT IT.
>> BASICALLY, IN SHORT, SHE SAID SHE'S NEVER SEEN IT, EVER NOT COLLECTED.
[00:50:01]
I WILL SEE IF MAYBE SHE COULD JOIN US NEXT MONTH AND EXPLAIN THAT.>> YEAH, EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR THAT FIVE-MINUTE BLOCK WHERE SHE COULD PROVIDE SOME MORE CONTEXT AND ANSWER ANY FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER, MUCH LESS EXPLAIN.
BUREAUCRATIC PROCESS BY NATURE MAKES IT COMPLICATED.
[4. NEW BUSINESS]
I MAY HAVE JUST BOND-RELATED SPENDING, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON THE COST SIDE.>> I WANTED TO DISCUSS SOMETHING ON THE EXPENDITURE SUMMARY.
>> ARE WE INSURED OR NOT? [LAUGHTER]
>> IT WAS A GOOD CATCH ON YOUR PART BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY AN ACCOUNTING THING.
>> WELL, BASICALLY, IT'S ON HIGHLY SENT.
BUT WHEN WE ORIGINALLY HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH CORNERSTONE, IT WAS GOING TO BE PART OF THE SERVICE THAT THEY OFFER.
>> I GUESS IT'S TWICE AS MUCH I THINK WHEN CORNERSTONE HAD IT ON BOARD.
>> BUT WE GOT A BETTER DEAL HAVING THE DISTRICT ITSELF.
>> EXACTLY. SHE NEVER ADJUSTED IT ACCOUNTING-WISE TO TAKE IT OUT OF THAT BUNDLE AND TO HIGHLIGHT IT.
SHE'S GOING TO FIX IT NEXT MONTH.
HIGHLIGHTED UNDER THAT ONE CATEGORY FOR THE BUILDER'S RISK INSURANCE.
>> IT'LL COME OUT OF THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT LINE ITEM?
>> NO, THERE'S A LINE ITEM THEN THE BUILDER'S RISK INSURANCE.
>> CORRECT, BUT IT'S GOING OUT.
>> IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT LINEUP?
>> THANKS FOR NOTICING THAT. WE'LL GET THAT UPDATED.
THEN ON OUR EXPENDITURES, WE'RE AT $51,100,221 SPENT TO DATE.
[NOISE] WE'RE CRUISING RIGHT ALONG.
THEN YOU GUYS GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE CASH FLOW CHART.
>> WHAT'S THAT, THE CASH FLOW?
>> YEAH, THE CASH FLOW. BY THE END OF APRIL, WE'RE ALMOST BACK TO OUR THEORETICAL LINE.
WE'VE HAD A FEW UPS AND DOWNS ALONG THE WAY, BUT WE'RE TRACKING VERY CLOSELY TO WHAT OUR PROJECTION WAS.
>> IS THE PRICE, THE ACTUAL STILL LOWER THAN THE ESTIMATED?
>> A HUGE INFLATION OR SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES GOING ON.
I WAS AT A MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEY SAID THEY HAD 30 PERCENT INCREASE ON DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL STUFF.
>> SO FAR, KNOCKING ON WOOD, WE'VE DONE WELL TO MANAGE.
THERE IS SOME REQUEST FOR ESCALATION THAT WE STILL NEED TO ADDRESS.
IT'S NOT TREMENDOUSLY HIGH NUMBER, BUT BECAUSE WE DID LEAN ON [INAUDIBLE] TO GET THE PACKAGE READY TO GO OUT TO BID SEVERAL MONTHS EARLY.
THEN THE SECOND STEP OF THAT WAS TO TELL ALL THE SUBCONTRACTORS GET US YOUR SUBMITTALS AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
WE TOLD [INAUDIBLE] TO WORK OVERTIME, TO WORK SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND GET THEM ALL APPROVED SO WE CAN BUY EVERYTHING.
WE WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL AT DODGING THAT BULLET BECAUSE WE WERE SOON ENOUGH IN THE QUEUE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
THERE ARE SOME REQUESTS THAT WE'LL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH WITH CORNERSTONE.
BUT SO FAR WE'VE DONE FAIRLY WELL.
>> JUST SAY YOU'RE NOT GETTING A LOT, LIKE FUEL SURCHARGES, HANDLING SURCHARGES, SEEMS LIKE THE OFFSETS AND COST INCREASES, OR YOU'RE NOT SEEING THAT?
>> ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE ARE FACING A VERY STEEP TRANSPORTATION COST WAS FOR THE FURNITURE.
[LAUGHTER] ONE OF THE STRATEGIES WAS TO GO AS LOCALLY-SOURCED AS POSSIBLE FOR THE PACKAGE.
INSTEAD OF ORDERING THINGS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ORDER THINGS FROM COMPANIES IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS.
PERILL, I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THAT SHIPPING AMOUNT, BUT IT WAS A HUGE AMOUNT THAT SHE SAVED BY SOURCING MORE LOCAL.
SO FAR WE HAVEN'T BEEN SEEING THE REQUESTS.
WE'VE SEEN SOME, BUT NOT AS MANY AS I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED.
[00:55:04]
THERE WAS THE ONE PLACE ORDER.LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND THE ONE [INAUDIBLE].
>> I THINK THERE WAS A WRONG VALUE FOR SOMETHING.
>> YEAH, THERE WAS FOUR [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING]-
>> AND THAT WAS FOR VOLATILE MARKET THAT WAS EITHER 120.
THEN THERE WAS COVID PROCLAMATION COMPLIANCE, SO YOU KNOW THAT 120 IS AT 450,000.
THEN THE COVID 19 PROCLAMATION IS AT ZERO, WHETHER THAT COMES TO, YOU HAD THE DISCUSSION OF THE CORNERSTONE, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE NOW IT'S ZERO.
I THINK THEIR LAWYER RECOMMENDED THEY NOTIFY THE DISTRICT, SO THEY DID AND THEY SENT THE LETTER AND IT WAS DULY NOTED THAT WE'VE RECEIVED IT OKAY.
SO THAT 450 IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH WITH CORNERSTONE.
I THINK CORNERSTONE IS WAITING TO SEE HOW THINGS SHAKE OUT, TO SEE IF SOME OF THAT GOES AWAY OR NOT.
THEN AS, OF COURSE, WE GET CLOSER TO KNOWING WHERE OUR CONTINGENCIES LAND IN THAT CIRCUS GIVING CORNERSTONE MAYBE A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY OF DECISIONS.
BECAUSE IF THEY WEREN'T THE CONTINGENCIES, THEY WERE ON THE HOOK.
SO A CONTRACTOR IS GOING TO GUARD ON HIS CONTINGENCIES AS AGGRESSIVELY AS HE CAN.
IN THE END IF HE SAVES THE MONEY, IT GOES BACK TO THE DISTRICT ANYWAY.
WE KIND OF BENEFIT FROM THEM BEING REALLY AGGRESSIVE TOO.
THAT IS A BUCKET THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HELP WITH THAT NUMBER.
>> THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM MEETS AND THEY DISCUSS HOW CLOSE THE CORNERSTONE WHEN THEY USE IT OR WHEN THE OWNER USES IT.
>> CORRECT. THE CORNERSTONE, IT'S THEIR CONTINGENCY, BUT EACH DECISION HAS TO BE WITH THE CREW [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE HAVE TO APPROVE THEM SPENDING THEIR OWN CONTINGENCY.
WITH ALL THE OTHER CHANGES THAT MIGHT HAVE LED A MASTER SPREADSHEET THAT TRACKS EVERY SINGLE CHANGE AND THEN IT ENSURES THAT WE GET A FULL REVIEW FOR EACH CONSULTANT THAT OWES US A REVIEW TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'VE BEEN THOROUGHLY VETTED OUT.
THAT THEY'RE NOT CHARGING TOO MUCH, THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING DOUBLE PAID FOR THINGS, WHICH OFTENTIMES HAPPENS, JUST SLIPS THROUGH THE CRACKS AS ONE GUY CHARGES YOU FOR TRENCHING, THE OTHER GUY DID THE TRENCHING [OVERLAPPING], RIGHT?
>> ANYWAY, EVERY OTHER THURSDAY WE SIT DOWN AS A CREW TO INCLUDE JAMIE, MARK.
AS THE OWNERS, WE FELT THEY'RE IMPORTANT.
LOT OF TIMES WE DO CHANGE MEETINGS MORE INDEPENDENTLY, BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT MARK AND JAMIE SITTING ON PRETTY MUCH EVERY MEETING.
I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE PRETTY MUCH BEEN INTO EVERY ONE.
JUST FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS AS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WHERE THE WIND IS GOING, HOW WE MADE THE DECISIONS WE MADE.
THAT'S A GROUP BETWEEN CORNERSTONE, MYSELF AND THE DISTRICT. WE HAD A SMALL GROUP.
>> HOW DO YOU TWO TAKE MANAGEMENT CHANGE ORDERS.
>> WELL, IT'S A FEE ADJUSTMENT NOT A CHANGE ORDER.
>> WE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL- [OVERLAPPING].
>> BUT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T YOU SET, THE MAXIMUM FEE THAT AN ARCHITECT CAN CHARGE ACCORDING TO THE SIZE OF THE CAPITAL PROJECT?
>> I DON'T REMEMBER THAT. I CAN FIND OUT, OF COURSE FOR YOU.
>> NO, I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF [INAUDIBLE] HAS COME BACK AND ASKED FOR MORE. I WAS JUST CURIOUS.
>> REALLY, WE HAD SOME FEE ADJUSTMENT POTENTIAL FOR THE GOLDEN EAGLE ACADEMY.
>> I THINK WE'RE STILL SEEING PURCHASE ORDERS TOO.
WE WOULD SEE IT AT THE POINT THAT THE PURCHASE ORDER IS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT CHANGED THE [INAUDIBLE] CONTRACT.
>> IF WE ADDED SCOPE OR SOMETIMES [OVERLAPPING] WE WOULD SEE IT THERE.
WE DID MAKE SOME CHANGES EARLIER ON THAT DID LEGITIMATELY INCREASE THEIR SCOPE WITH SOME OF THE VALUE ENGINEERING EXERCISES WE WENT THROUGH.
LIKE WITH THE STORM DETENTION SYSTEM ORIGINALLY DEALT WITH CMP.
CMP WAS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT ESCALATED DURING THE ADD UP.
THEN IT WENT UP TO HUGE AND THEN THE MEANTIME PUSHED WAY OUT.
WE HAD ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSING SWITCHING TO WHAT'S CALLED THE EBS SYSTEM, WHICH IS A PLASTIC DOME TO TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME VALUE ENGINEERING.
[01:00:02]
WE ENDED UP WITH ALL THE ESCALATION THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.WE ENDED UP LANDING AT THE ORIGINAL BUDGETED AMOUNT, BUT AVOIDED THE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO COMPENSATE SOMEBODY BEFORE FOR THE CMP. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> I THINK WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION BEFORE.
>> WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAVINGS, BUT WE HAVE THESE PAROCHIAL RECORDS.
>> YOU JUST STARTED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE GOLDEN EAGLE ACADEMY ON ESCALATION, OR SOMETHING?
>> IT'S SEPARATE FROM THIS PROJECT.
>> I KNOW ONE WAY TO TIE IT INTO THIS, BUT OKAY, NEVER MIND.
>> THERE ARE SOME OTHER WORK OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT THAT WE'VE ASKED THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT.
CONTINUING ON, SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE CMR?
>> MY QUESTION IS THAT GOLDEN EAGLE ACADEMY.
I SEE THERE'S A LINE ITEM THERE FOR LIKE THREE MILLION BUCKS.
>> YEAH, THAT'S JUST SOMETHING PROPOSED RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING IN THE BUDGET.
>> REALLY THE GOAL IS TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE TOTAL PROJECT.
TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY LEFTOVER MONEY THAT COULD BE SENT IN THAT DIRECTION.
>> I MEAN, I KNOW WHAT THE GOLDEN EAGLE ACADEMY IS, I KNOW THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ONCE UPON A TIME ABOUT SHOVING THEM INTO THE OLD CTE BUILDING AND BRINGING THAT UP TO EQUAL STANDARD.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT BUILDING IS NOT OF EQUAL STANDARD NO MATTER HOW MUCH LIPSTICK YOU PUT ON IT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PRE-INCH BUILDING CONDITION.
>> WOULD IT BE LIKE ON THE END OF THE CTE BUILDING?
>> YEAH. IT WOULD BE IN THAT AREA.
THEN AS THAT PROCESS AND ITS FUTURE VISIONING HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE WHERE WE ENVISION PLACED MARKERS FOR A VILLAGE.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ONE BUILDING THAT WOULD CO-EXIST WITH THE CURRENT CTE.
BUT THEN THERE WOULD BE A COUPLE OF PLACEHOLDERS FOR A COUPLE OF MORE BUILDINGS TO CREATE A VILLAGE [OVERLAPPING].
THE CTE, WE DIDN'T REALIZE IN WHAT POOR CONDITION IT WAS IN UNTIL IT GOT FLOODED AND THEY STARTED TEARING THE WALLS APART.
>> YEAH, DID WE FIT ANY [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING]
>> GOOD, [LAUGHTER] I AM WORKING ON THAT TOO. IT IS SO CONSUMING, BESIDES ALL MY OTHER ONES, I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU AND REPETITIVE REQUESTS FOR THE SAME INFORMATION IN A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT, BUT YES, I'M WORKING ON IT.
IT'S MY FIRST EXPERIENCE, YOU'D THINK I GET USED TO IT.
>> I'VE HAD A FEW AND THEY ARE PAINFUL.
I'M WONDERING IF THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE COULD SEE THAT GOLDEN EAGLE, I DON'T THINK WE'VE SEEN THIS NEW.
>> I'M ASSUMING IT'S A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF ROUGH LIKE, HEY, WE NEED ROUGHLY FOUR CLASSROOMS OF THIS MANY SQUARE FEET.
BRING IN TO BUILDING IS $325 A SQUARE FOOT.
>> NO. YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
>> IT'S 10 PERCENT OF THE 10,000 FOOT LEVEL, [NOISE] AND IT WAS IN RESPONSE TO REALIZING THE POOR CONDITION THAT BUILDING WAS IN, AND WE NEEDED TO SPEND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GET IT TO WORK EVEN TO BE TO HOUSE STUDENTS WHEN WE FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE WASTE OF MONEY.
THE CHANCES OF OUR PRESENT BUDGET COVERING THAT GOLDEN IS SLIM TO NONE, [NOISE] BUT WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO COME UP WITH A LONG-TERM PLAN.
PLUS THE OTHER COMPONENT TOO IS NOT TO BE TOO PHILOSOPHICAL, BUT HERE THE REST OF THE STUDENTS ARE GOING INTO THIS BRAND NEW PALACE OF A BUILDING, AND NOW YOU'RE ASKING THESE FOLKS THAT ARE ALREADY MAYBE NOT IN THE MAINSTREAM TO GO TO THE DERELICT BUILDING. WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THREE MILLION BUCKS DOESN'T INCLUDE DEMOING THE EXISTING CTE BUILDING?
>> NO, IT'S FOR A NEW BILL. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE CTE IS STILL GOING TO BE USED FOR STORAGE, RIGHT?
>> THEN THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND ON THAT NUMBER YOU SEE IN HERE, THAT'S COST OF WORK IN PLACE.
THAT'S NOT SOFT COSTS FOR A SERVICE.
[OVERLAPPING] [NOISE] YOU'RE LOOKING AT CLOSER TO FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FOR THAT FACILITY.
[01:05:04]
>> WHAT I MEANT IS, ORIGINALLY BEFORE THE GOLDEN EAGLE CAME TO THIS DISCUSSION, CTE WAS TO BE USED AS JUST A RECORD STORAGE FROM HISTORY.
>> WHAT? NO. WELL, IT WAS ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT HOUSING THE SOAR PROGRAM AFTER THE NEW SCHOOL OPENED BECAUSE WHERE THEY'RE AT NOW IN THE PERFORMING ARTS WAS GOING TO BE A PHOTO LAB, WHICH NOW IS ALREADY CHANGED.
WE WERE ALWAYS PLANNING ON HOUSING THEM IN THE CTE BUILDING.
>> NEXT QUESTION. ON THE LAST MEETING ON YOUR MOVING MAP, THERE WAS WHAT YOU CALLED THE CTE VILLAGE TO THE SOUTH.
>> HE WAS THE STUDENT VILLAGES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S CTE VILLAGE THAT'S TO THE NORTH.
THAT'S LIKE GREENHOUSE, AQUACULTURE, AG SCIENCE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S WHY IN FRONT OF THOSE BUILDINGS, I ASSUME THAT'S WHAT THOSE WAS.
I WAS WONDERING IF THAT DRAWING INCLUDED BUT THAT WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATE.
>> THIS WILL BE ESSENTIALLY CREATING ANOTHER VILLAGE ON THE SOUTH FROM THE OLD CTE BUILDING, GOLD NAVAL ACADEMY AND THEN POTENTIALLY SOME OTHER FUTURE.
>> I'M JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT THAT LAST MEETING SAY, WHAT ALL THOSE BUILDINGS WERE THAT WAS COMMUNICATED.
>> WHEN WE FIRST WERE APPROACHED ABOUT THAT GOLDEN EAGLE BY THE PREVIOUS PRINCIPAL AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, THERE WAS SOME THOUGHT THAT THE REMOTE ACCESS IN THINGS WOULD INCREASE OR THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASED POPULATION IN THIS.
DO WE KNOW THAT IT'S FACTUAL NOW OR DOES IT LOOK LIKE [OVERLAPPING] ITS LESS.
>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS, BUT I KNOW THAT THEIR PROGRAM IS GROWING.
[BACKGROUND] I THINK YOU'RE ABOUT RIGHT.
>> ARE WE TAKING MORE QUESTIONS ON THE COST MANAGER REPORT?
>> ON PAGE 512 ON THE CASE, IT'S ITEM NUMBER 41.
CORRECT ME IF I'M BEING WRONG BUT $78,000.
THAT'S FOR THAT NEW BUILDING THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE.
THIS IS ALL HINDSIGHT, BUT I GUESS I'M WONDERING WAS THAT JUST A FUNCTION OF NOT GETTING THE DESIGN BUT NOT TALKING TO TONY FROM THE BEGINNING ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED OR WHAT HE NEEDED? HOW DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A REVISION ON SUCH A SIMPLE BUILDING?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THEY WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT.
>> AT THE TIME THAT I WENT OUT TO BID IT WASN'T FULLY DESIGNED.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS TO UNDERSTAND IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CHANGE EVENT THAT THAT FALLS UNDER, IT'S UNAWARDED ALLOWANCE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS YOU SEE THOSE NUMBERS ARE IN PARENTHESES, IS BECAUSE AT THE TIME THAT WE WENT OUT TO BID, WE KNEW THAT THESE THINGS WEREN'T CLEAR AS TO WHAT WE WERE DOING, SO WE TOOK THE EDUCATED GUESS AS TO HOW MUCH THEY WERE GOING TO COST.
WHEN WE DID THIS THAT 77,000 WAS ALREADY IN THE BID AND THEN IF THE FINAL LANDING SPOT COST A LITTLE MORE OR A LITTLE BIT LESS THEN, WE ADJUST THAT NUMBER TO 77 BUT THE 77 ISN'T EXTRA, IT WAS INCLUDED ORIGINALLY, IT JUST WASN'T FULLY ALLOCATED TO THAT PART.
YOU SEE THE PIE CHART GETTING SMALLER ON THE UNAWARDED, WE'RE SLOWLY WORKING THROUGH THOSE AND THERE'S MORE IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER AS THOSE THINGS ARE DOING AND THAT'S HOW YOU SET THE PRIORITY.
>> BACK A PAGE, PAGE 4 WHERE IT SAYS THE TAX SEISMIC UPGRADES AND SUPPORTING STORE, THAT'S AGAIN A PLACEHOLDER THAT'S NOT THE ACTUAL NUMBERS YOU GOT FROM THE CORNERSTONE?
>> CORRECT. THAT WAS THEIR PLACEHOLDER IN THE UNAWARDED BECAUSE AT THE TIME THE PACK WAS NOT DEFINED AS TO WHAT SEISMICALLY WAS REQUIRED SO SIMPLY A PLACEHOLDER.
>> THEN ON PAGE 9, THE "PENDING, NOT PROCEEDING", DOES THAT MEAN THAT WOULD BE DEAD OR THAT'S JUST STILL NOT SURE YET? I'M TALKING ABOUT ITEM 48.
[01:10:03]
WE'RE WAITING FOR FINAL, WE ASKED THEM TO BREAK OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS SO WE HAVE MORE SPECIFIC COST.
WE ACTUALLY VALUE ENGINEERED WHAT THEY CAME TO US WITH AT FIRST TO REDUCE SOME OF THAT COST SO WE'RE WAITING FOR THE NUMBERS [NOISE] FOR THAT.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S $100,000 LESS THAN THE FIRST NUMBER YOU GAVE US, RIGHT?
>> NO. I THINK THIS IS STILL THE ORIGINAL NUMBER AND THAT'S WHEN WE MET, WE MADE SOME CHANGES TO HELP HEIGHTEN THAT SCOPE AND THAT'S SOME COST WITHOUT LOSING WHAT WE WANT TO GET ACCOMPLISHED. FAIR?
>> SORRY, KEN I INTERRUPTED, YOU WERE SAYING?
>> THEN THE BATTING CAGES. THANK YOU.
YOU HAD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT BECAUSE WE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE ELECTRICAL, WHEREVER STRUCTURAL TO SUPPORT THAT COULD WAIT LONGER.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THE ELECTRICAL, ETC.
SO WE JUST WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD.
>> YOU'RE HAVING A BAD INTERBANK CASE BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE.
>> I THINK THAT WASN'T ON THE ORIGINAL SCOPE.
>> THAT WAS A STRAIGHT AT THAT TIME.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE NOT IN THE GYM, WHICH IS GREAT, IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE REST OF LAB, THE PE LAB.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE THE PE LAB IS GOING TO BE A MUCH MORE MAT ROOM, ITS GOING TO BE A LOT MORE FUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR OUR CURRENT SETTING.
>> WHY THERE'S MORE APPROPRIATE FLOORING IN THAT ROOM FOR A BATTING CAGE THAN AT THE GYM. THAT'S WHY I'M EXCITED.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S WHY I SAID IT.
>> IS THIS REMOVABLE OR IT GOES UP?
>> IT DOES, WE GOT A TAGGING SPACE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] GYM BUILDINGS, SO THE CEILING IS 30.
YOU CAN PUT BATTING CAGE UP AND STILL HAVE FOUR FEET HEIGHT IN THAT ROOM.
>> THAT'S GOING BE REALLY NICE.
>> I GUESS, JUST FOR YOUR RECORD, WHEN SOMETHING SAYS "NOT PROCEEDING", IT REALLY MEANS NOT PROCEEDING AT THE MOMENT, IT CAN STILL PLAN TO PROCEED. IT'S NOT VERY CLEAR.
>> TO BE HONEST I'M STILL FIGURING OUT HOW THIS WORKS. THANK YOU.
>> WHERE AM I AT ON MONTHLY REPORTS? IS THAT RIGHT NOW?
>> DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE COST MANAGEMENT STUFF BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD AND THEN COME BACK TO IT? I GUESS WE'LL ROLL INTO YOUR COURT REPORTS.
>> FIRST WITH FERNDALE HIGH SCHOOL.
THE GRANDSTANDS, THE HEART SKIPS AROUND THE GRANDSTANDS THAT NEED TO BE FORWARD PRIOR TO THE GRANDSTANDS BEING INSTALLED HAD BEEN COMPLETED.
THE GRANDSTANDS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THE SITE AND INSTALLATION HAS BEGUN.
>> ANYBODY SEE IT TODAY? PRETTY DARN EXCITING. IT'S GOING UP.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO GET PEOPLE UNNECESSARILY EXCITED ABOUT FOOTBALL TEAM.
>> I KNOW, OR THINKING WE'RE PLAYING THERE.
I KEEP TRYING TO GET HIM TO MOVE UP INSTALLATION.
>> [INAUDIBLE] SOME BOOSTER DOLLARS TO PRINT A BIG SIGN.
>> NOT THIS YEAR. SORRY. [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] 2022.
>> CHANGES ARE TAKING ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO PUT IT UP.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE.
>> IT LOOS LIKE IT'S HALF DONE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THE BIG SHOW RIGHT NOW.
>> WHEN WE START DETAILING AND DOING A LITTLE SCREWS.
>> THEY COULD PUT UP THE GRANDSTANDS AND PUT THE BIG MONITOR UP AND THEY CAN THEN STREAM THE GAMES TO THE MONITORS [INAUDIBLE] FIELD. [LAUGHTER]
>> [OVERLAPPING] [INAUDIBLE] WORKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE FOR NINE MONTHS.
>> I HAVE [INAUDIBLE] FRAMINGS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS, GETTING CLOSE TO WRAPPING UP EXCEPT IN THE KITCHEN AREA.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ROUGH-IN IS ONGOING.
EXPECTED TO RUN THROUGH MIDDLE LATER PART OF JUNE.
SHEET ROCK HAS BEGAN IN MAY LAW FIRM, SO THOSE AREAS ARE STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE.
THE MAIN ELECTRICAL PANELS THAT WILL ENERGIZE THE FACILITY IS CONTINUING.
[01:15:04]
WE ARE TARGETING THE 4TH OF JUNE TO BE FULLY ENERGIZED.I DID HERE A WORD TODAY THAT THERE'S SOME MISSING RIGHT HERE SO [INAUDIBLE] LOOK INTO THAT.
WE MIGHT NOT HIT THAT 4TH OF JUNE.
SOUND ATTENUATION PANEL INSTALLATION, THE ACCELERY GYM IS WRAPPING UP THIS WEEK.
PAINTING IN THE GYM IS NOW COMPLETE.
GYM EQUIPMENT HAS NOW ARRIVED AND INSTALLATION IS STARTING THIS WEEK.
WE HAVE TODD WILEY, FROM [INAUDIBLE] ANYWHERE AROUND FOR THESE SUBJECT MATTERS. PRETTY COOL.
THEN GYM FLOORING WILL ARRIVE ON JUNE 6TH AND PREP WORK FOR THE FLOORING WILL BEGIN.
THE FLOORING ITSELF WILL NEED TO SIT FOR TWO WEEKS TO ACCLIMATE TO THE BUILDING PRIOR TO THE START OF THE ACTUAL FLOORING INSTALLATION.
WE HAVE DAN FROM TNT FLOORING.
YOU MIGHT HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE PAST.
HE'S VERY UNORTHODOX [NOISE] BUT I REALLY LIKE HIM.
[LAUGHTER] HE TRIES TO OFFER HIS PEOPLE NETS BECAUSE HE'S THE OWNER AND OPERATOR AND DOESN'T LIKE TO DO PAPERWORK.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO DOING THE WORK AND CARRIES THEM.
WINDOW AND SIDING INSTALLATION HAD BEGUN AT THE ATHLETIC WING AND THAT UNDER THE BUILDING WILL START HAVING A FINISHED LOOK.
ACADEMIC WING PAINTING AT LEVEL 2 IS ONGOING, MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
TO PAINT IN THIS AREA SHOULD BE CLOSE TO WRAPPING UP OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
THE CEILING GRID INSTALLATION AT THE WEST END OF LEVEL 1 IS ONGOING AND APPROXIMATELY 90 PERCENT FINISHED.
THE WEST END OF LEVEL 2 IS ABOUT 50 PERCENT COMPLETE.
CABINET INSTALLATION IS ONGOING AND MAKING GOOD PROGRESS AND IT IS ABOUT 90 PERCENT COMPLETE AT THE WEST END OF LEVEL 1.
THE COMMON AREAS, STAIRS WITH CONCRETE TREADS HAVE NOW BEEN COMPLETED.
THE MIDDLE SET OF STAIRS WILL RECEIVE PRECAST TREADS AND ARE EXPECTED TO BE INSTALLED OVER THE NEXT MONTH.
THAT WAS A COOL MILESTONE TO GET SOMETHING YOU ALWAYS FEEL EXCITED TO HAVE YOUR STAIRS DONE.
THAT WE'RE REALLY CLOSE TO HAVING OUR STAIRS DONE, IT'S PRETTY COOL.
SIDING HAS MADE GOOD PROGRESS AND LIKELY WILL BE COMPLETE AROUND THE ENTIRE COMMONS AND ACADEMIC WING BY THE END OF JUNE.
WINDOWS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE WITH SMALL AMOUNT OF GLASS YET TO BE INSTALLED.
THE STOREFRONT SYSTEM INSTALLATION IS ONGOING AND MOVING ALONG NICELY.
WE ANTICIPATE THE INSTALLATION WILL BE CLOSE TO COMPLETE BY THE END OF JUNE.
THE BATHROOM TILE ON LEVEL 1 IS WRAPPING UP AND CRUISING GETTING STARTED ON LEVEL 2 BATHROOMS. ROOFING IS NOW 100 PERCENT COMPLETE.
THAT'S ON THE ENTIRE FACILITY EXCEPT FOR THE CTE VILLAGE, OF COURSE.
ANOTHER MAJOR MILESTONE TO GET THE PERMANENT ROOFING BATHROOM.
ONE OF THE THINGS JUST TO POINT OUT THAT WE WORKED ON AS A TEAM, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH NOTING, WE WORKED WITH THE ROOFING COMPANY TO SWITCH TO A SYSTEM THAT HAD VAPOR BARRIER THAT WE COULD APPLY EARLY TO USE AS A TEMPORARY ROOF, WHICH ALLOWED US TO GET INTO DRY AND START DOING THINGS LIKE PULLING WIRES, WHICH YOU CAN'T DO UNTIL YOU WERE IN THE DRY, [INAUDIBLE] OBVIOUSLY, AND MOVING ON TO THOSE FINISHES.
EVEN THOUGH ROOFING JUST COMPLETED NOW, MOST OF THE BUILDING HAS BEEN IN THE DRY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
THAT WAS AT ADDITIONAL COST THAT WE DID THAT AND THAT WAS THROUGH THE CONTRACTORS CONTINGENCY BECAUSE IT'S A SEQUENCING DEAL.
BUT I JUST FELT LIKE IT WAS A REALLY SUCCESSFUL EFFORT BY THE TEAM TO GET US IN THE DRY TWO MONTHS EARLY.
WE'RE JUST FINISHING THE REAL ROOFING, BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING IN THE DRY PRIMARILY FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
>> WAS THAT DECISION MADE AFTER THE BASE SCHEDULES MADE THEN OR WAS THAT ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE SCHEDULE?
>> NO. WHEN I CAME ALONG, I BROUGHT THE IDEA BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO GET YOUR ROOF ON AND GET IN THE DRY.
THAT'S WHEN YOU TURN THE CORNER AND MOVE ON TO THIS OTHER ACTIVITY.
WHEN I CAME ON BOARD AND I SAID, "HEY, I KNOW IT'S GOING TO COST SOME MONEY, BUT COLLECTIVELY FOR THE SCHEDULE, IT'S GREAT FOR THE MORALE ON THE JOB, IT'S GREAT ONCE GUYS ARE NOT FREEZING AND COLD.
EVERYBODY IS HAPPIER AND ARE FAR MORE PRODUCTIVE." IT WAS JUST A GREAT TEAM EFFORT TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT APPROACH.
>> I'M NOT DISCOUNTING IT, BUT I'M JUST ASKING, DOES THAT MEAN THE PROJECT IS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE OR IS THAT MEAN THAT IT'S JUST NOT BEHIND SCHEDULE?
>> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WITH THAT BEING IN PLACE, WE HAVE SCHEDULE SAVINGS.
>> NOW THROUGH THIS WINTER WITH ALL THE FLOODING AND THE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS THAT WE FACED, IT'S SURPRISING THAT WE'RE SITTING WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WE'RE STILL WHERE WE WANTED TO BE ORIGINALLY AND STILL TURNING OVER FROM THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT WE'RE STILL ON TRACK.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF WE SAVED, UNLESS YOU DO A DEDUCT FROM WHAT WE WOULD HAVE LOST AND WHERE WE'LL B NOW.
[01:20:05]
>> THE SAME CONCEPT AS THE ADS [INAUDIBLE].
>> REMAINING. DOES IT REALLY HOLD UP ON THAT? THE WINDOWS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETELY SMALL, BALANCE OF THE GLASS TO BE INSTALLED.
>> THERE'S BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO GET GLASS OR EVEN OR NOT.
WE ACTUALLY HAD TO SWITCH SOME PRODUCTS TO NOT GET BEHIND.
SO IF WE WERE TO START WITH OUR ORIGINAL GLASS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE GLASS RIGHT NOW.
>> BUT USUALLY WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS, I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, THEY PUT IT, AND THEY PRE-MEASURE AND PRE-ORDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT, BUT THEN MAYBE IN THE LAST DAY INTO THE WALL.
THEY WAIT UNTIL IT'S ALL INSTALLED AND THEN THEY GO [INAUDIBLE] MINUS 21 AND A HALF INSTEAD OF 22.
>> IT'S A QUALITY CONTROL MEASURE.
>> THERE'S ALSO A GENERAL AMOUNT OF GLASS THAT BREAKS IN THE PROCESS TOO.
>> THAT WAS WHAT WE WERE THINKING OF WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE BUILDING AND THERE WAS SOME MISSING GLASS.
WE WERE THINKING, THERE'S PROBABLY SOME THAT BREAKS WHEN THEY'RE PUTTING IT IN?
>> MOST OF THAT WAS INTENTIONAL, ESPECIALLY ON THE BIG STOREFRONTS ALONG THE STAIRWELLS.
>> THAT'S A BIG CLEAR STORE THAT GOES ALL THE WAY UP.
>> THAT'S AN ACTUAL CURTAIN WALL THAT GOES FULL-HEIGHT, STRUCTURAL MEMBER, AND SO THEY CAN HOLD TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DIMENSIONS.
WHAT RILEY AND I WOULD USE TO BE USED TO IS, WOULDN'T HAVE ORDERED ANY OTHER GLASS UNTIL ALL THE FRAME WAS [INAUDIBLE] ACTUALLY SUPPLYING LIKE 80 PERCENT OF IT, AND THEN FILLING IN ONCE THEY'VE TAKEN THE LAST MEASUREMENTS.
BECAUSE IF THEY BREAK TOO MUCH, THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MAINTENANCE.
THEN THE CTE VILLAGE, WE ARE UNDERWAY WITH THE FOUNDATIONS FOR THOSE THREE BUILDINGS.
IT'S PRETTY COOL. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING ON THE CRITICAL BUILDING REPAIRS.
BUT WOULD NOTE THAT, I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE BID PACKAGE FOR THE LAST THREE BUILDINGS TO STANDARDIZE THOSE PVC CONTROLS.
THEN WE'RE ALSO GOING TO CARRY VISTA AS AN ALTERNATE TO DO THE UPGRADE THERE AND SEE WHERE THE PRICING LANDS.
PERHAPS WE CAN AFFORD THAT LAST [INAUDIBLE].
IT WAS NEVER IN THE ORIGINAL BOND PROMISE.
BUT THAT WAS ONE SCHOOL THAT JUST GOT LEFT OFF.
ANYWAY, WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'LL HAVE IT AS AN ALTERNATE AND MAYBE WE CAN AFFORD TO DO THE WORK.
THEN EVERY BUILDING WOULD BE ON THAT SAME SYSTEM, WHICH WOULD BE REALLY COOL.
>> I SAW A COUPLE OF POS COME THROUGH [NOISE] TODAY OR SOMETHING FOR WORK AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE.
>> FIFTY GRAND SEEMS LIKE A LOT FOR THE DISTRICT OFFICE, JUST ON FACE VALUE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW COMPLEX THAT SYSTEM IS OR WHAT HOTSPOT OF A SYSTEM THAT DISTRICT OFFERS US BUT 50 GRAND SEEMS LIKE A LOT FOR THAT BUILDING JUST TO UPGRADE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND, SIXTY NINE DOLLARS AND THAT WASN'T PART OF THE BOND MONEY BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOND PROMISE, RIGHT?
>> I'M GOING TO GO BACK REAL QUICK [INAUDIBLE].
JUNE 4TH, WHEN YOU SAY ENERGIZE, THAT MEANS HEATING EVERYTHING WILL BE TURNED ON AND THEY WILL BE COMPLETELY ENERGIZED.
>> NO. MEANS, THAT WE HAVE PERMANENT POWER THAT'S FEEDING THE BUILDING FROM THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION PANEL.
>> AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE MOST OF OUR HOME WIRES INSTALLED, SO THEN THE POWER IS AVAILABLE.
AS SOON AS THEY SET A DEVICE THEY CAN CONNECT THE POWER AND ENERGIZE IT.
>> OKAY. I WAS JUST READING THAT AND I [INAUDIBLE] AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUNE 6TH, THE FLOORING.
YOU WANT THAT TO BE TO A STANDARD ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE YOU START LAYING IT, RIGHT? WILL WE ACTUALLY BE HEATING THE BUILDING?
>> BACK TO THE HVAC STUFF OR DISTRICT OFFICE.
>> I WAS JUST FINISHING UP ON PUTTING THAT BID PACKAGE, ACTIVELY PUTTING THAT TOGETHER AND THAT'S BEYOND IF WE CAN AFFORD TO DO THE CANOPY ENTRY AT CUSTER, WHICH IS A MINOR PROJECT, THIS REPRESENTS THE LAST BIG PROJECT FOR THE CRITICAL BUILDING REPAIRS.
WE'RE IN THE HOMESTRETCH. THEN I THINK THE DISTRICT
[01:25:02]
HAS A FEW THINGS TO DO OVER THE SUMMER, THEN WE'LL BE LOOKING IN GOOD SHAPE ON CRITICAL BUILDINGS.>> CAN THE [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE GEO FILES IN CTE FOUNDATIONS?
>> NO. WE ONLY NEEDED THEM ACTUALLY IN THE THREE-STOREY SECTION OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE OF THE LOADS.
BUT WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT POINT OF VIEW, YOU'VE GOT THE THREE-STOREY OVER HERE, YOU'VE GOT THE COMMENTS WHICH GRANTED IT'S TALL, WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME LOADING BECAUSE THERE'S NOT INTERMEDIATE FLOORS.
THEN YOU HAVE THE GYM, WHICH IS NOW A DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPE.
WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT FROM ONE SECTION TO THE NEXT, SO WE ALSO ADDED THEM IN THE COMMONS AND IN THE ATHLETIC WING, JUST AS EXTRA SECURITY WHERE WE GOT MOVEMENT AND BIG CRACKS.
I JUST HAD THE ENTIRE BUILDING RE-SHOT BY THE SURVEYORS I THINK A WEEK AGO, AND EVERYTHING HAS SOLIDIFIED.
WE SAW A DIFFERENCE OF ONE-QUARTER OF AN INCH, AND THAT COULD BE JUST AS MUCH HUMAN ERROR ON THE SURVEYORS PART, BUT THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
IT WAS CONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD SO THE FLUCTUATION UP AND DOWN WAS POSITIVE MINUS QUARTER-INCH.
QUARTER-INCH BEING THE AVERAGE MOVEMENT THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.
THAT WAS A GREAT REPORT [INAUDIBLE] SOMETHING WE ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT BEHIND THE SCENES.
THIS LOOKS LIKE IT TIGHTENED UP IN SEEING [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY CRACKING IN THE CONCRETE LIKE [INAUDIBLE]?
>> IT'S BEEN LESS THAN I EXPECTED.
I ACTUALLY ANTICIPATED THAT THIS BUILDING WOULD GET MORE CRACKING THAN I TYPICALLY WOULD SEE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE ARE SITTING ON.
I SPENT HOURS ONE DAY JUST LOOKING FOR CRACKS AND THE AMOUNT OF CRACKS IS LESS THAN I WOULD'VE EXPECTED FROM [INAUDIBLE].
>> THEN I COULDN'T SEE ELECTRICAL [INAUDIBLE].
>> ON ELECTRICAL? THE [INAUDIBLE] DOESN'T PERMIT ELECTRICAL, THAT'S LABOR AND INDUSTRIES.
>> BELLINGHAM THEY PERMIT THEIR OWN, BUT MOST SMALLER MUNICIPALITIES JUST RELY ON L&I.
THAT'S A LOT OF CONTRACTORS ON ONE PAGE [INAUDIBLE]? [OVERLAPPING].
>> NO INJURIES THAT I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE OF.
>> IS THERE A TIME LAPSE, SAY CAMERA'S GOING ON THE GRANDSTANDS OR ANYTHING?
>> A TIME-LAPSE OR CAMERAS ON THE GRANDSTANDS GOING OUT.
ARE THERE CONSTRUCTION CAMERAS?
>> WE DO HAVE A CONSTRUCTION CAMERA.
>> PANORAMIC KITS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE GRANDSTANDS ON THE PANORAMIC.
>> YOU CAN, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT GIVES YOU THE TIME.
DO YOU KNOW IF IT GIVES THE TIME FOR THE WHOLE?
>> IT TAKES A SHOT EVERY TWO HOURS.
>> YEAH, IT TAKES A FULL PANORAMIC EVERY TWO HOURS.
>> THAT'S COOL. BECAUSE I ALSO GET AT THE END OF THE PROJECT THOSE ARE ALWAYS FUN
>> IF YOU GO TO THE ART BOARD AND THEN GO TO THE BOND, IT'S ON THE TIME-LAPSE CAMERAS ARE ON THAT PAGE AND LINKS TO THEM.
>> THEY ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THE GRANDSTANDS ARE GOING UP.
IT'S LIKE NOW THINGS THAT ARE INTERESTING ARE HAPPENING.
>> WELL, IT WAS FUNNY IN THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN WE SET THE CAMERA UP.
THERE WAS A TREE IN THE WAY OF SOMEBODY'S CAMERA VIEW, AND I GOT A CALL FROM THIS GENTLEMAN, AND HE SAID, "CAN YOU CUT THAT TREE DOWN?" [LAUGHTER]
>> [INAUDIBLE] ANYWAY PERSONALLY.
>> WE MOVED THE CAMERA SO WE CLEARED UP THE VIEW, BUT THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD.
>> WHAT WAS THE COST ON VISTA BECAUSE I CAN'T OPEN THAT?
>> OKAY. I GOT ONE OF THE EMAILS, THERE'S A PO FOR [INAUDIBLE] BUT I CAN'T OPEN THEM.
>> THAT WAS THE ONE TODAY, AND I SAID VISTA.
BECAUSE I DELETED IT. IT WAS THE DISTRICT OFFICE SO I RE-ADDED. [INAUDIBLE]
>> [OVERLAPPING] SHE JUST USED HER OWN WORD, IT WAS THE DISTRICT OFFICE PO.
>> THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T LIKE IT.
[01:30:01]
>> [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE CITY, WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM FUNDS AHEAD OF TIME.
IT'S JUST REALLY COMPLICATED, AND I HAVE TO CALL SEVERAL TIMES TO KNOW WHAT MY BALANCE IS.
THERE'S LITTLE TO NO COMMUNICATION SO IT'S JUST EASIER SO I DON'T GIVE UP THE PROJECT. I HAVE [INAUDIBLE]
>> THAT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE'RE GIVING THEM SO MUCH IN RETAIL SALES TAX ON THIS PROJECT.
[01:41:58]
>> I THINK AT THIS POINT, I'LL LIKE TO USE MY BRILLIANT ALLUDED TO OVERRUN
[01:42:02]
A DOWNLOAD SLIDE FOR CASTING THE TOPIC OF THE PROJECT.THAT WAS ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN IN THE BACK OF MY MIND.
AT THIS POINT, I THINK A LOT OF YOU WOULD SAY THAT IT'S DONE BUT OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S STILL ENOUGH MONEY TO SPEND.
BUT I THINK THE INTEREST FOR ME IS SEEING HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.
OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE 25 YEARS WITH CONSTRUCTION, 30 YEARS [INAUDIBLE], AND I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY.
LIKE I SAID I'M GETTING LATE START ON IT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN PART OF ME.
>> YEAH. WHERE I'VE RUN INTO RICK ON DOZEN JOBS IS KEY.
I MEAN, THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ANYWAY, HE'S BASICALLY FINISHED THE JOBS.
FIRST, MARTIN WILL START THE JOB AND RICK WOULD BE THERE, BUT RICK STAYS THERE AT THE END AFTER MARTIN MOVES ON TO THE NEXT JOB AND HE FINISHES THE JOB.
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHERE THIS PROJECT IS AT.
I THINK THAT HIS EXPERIENCE IN THAT WOULD BE A GREAT FIT.
NEITHER MARK NOR I RECRUITED RICK, THIS IS SOMETHING HE'S INITIATED SO I THINK THAT SOMEBODY ACTUALLY IS SHOWING SOME SELF-INITIATIVE TO BE A PART OF OUR COMMITTEE IS A POSITIVE THING.
>> WELL, I'LL JUST THROW IN THAT I'VE WORKED WITH RICK FOR A LONG TIME.
HE AND I DID WORK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL [OVERLAPPING] AND MOTOR SCALE.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT RICK IS THAT HE'S GOOD NO MATTER WHERE YOU PLUG HIM IN.
HE'D BE FORMING CONCRETE FOR DOING ALL THE INTRICATE CROWN MOLDING AND WORKED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WHERE HE TURNED INTO AN ART AND IT WAS AMAZING. I COULDN'T BELIEVE.
I WANT TO WALK IN THERE AND HIS DOG. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I MEAN, THIS IS INCREDIBLE. HE KNOWS THE FULL GAMUT OF CONSTRUCTION.
HE WAS JUST A REALLY GOOD, SOLID GUY.
YOU TELL ME TO TRUST HE'S YOUR GUY.
I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT IN THERE.
IT'S BEEN A GOOD LONG [INAUDIBLE] IN RELATIONSHIPS.
>> WELL, IN A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM A [INAUDIBLE] AREA HAVE STRUGGLED WITH TRYING TO SPEND MONEY ON IT.
UNLESS IT INVOLVES COSTUME, TOTALLY INVOLVED COSTUME.
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A STRUGGLE THERE.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FROM THAT AREA.
>> JUST TO DOVETAIL THE SAME, WE'RE WORKING ON THE LONG-RANGE FACILITY RENEWAL PLAN
[01:45:01]
AND I KNOW THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THIS, BUT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT A FACILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE.THINKING ABOUT LONG-TERM PROCESS THAT GOES BEYOND THIS BOND ISSUE, I THINK RICK WOULD BE A GREAT GUY TO MAYBE PARTICIPATE IN THAT BECAUSE HE DOES KNOW CONSTRUCTION AND WHATEVER VERY REALISTIC.
JUST HAVING A COUPLE OF CONSTRUCTION GUYS ON HERE IS VERY HANDY.
PEOPLE THAT KNOW THE INDUSTRY.
I THINK RICK COULD FILL THAT ROLE AND MAYBE THE ROLE YOU PLAY ON THIS PANEL ISN'T AS HIGH AS THE REST, BUT I THINK LONG-TERM LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD TO PULL HIM INTO THE FACILITY ADVISORY GROUP, THERE MIGHT BE SOME UTILITY IN THAT.
>> YEAH. I THINK THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION AS I MEAN, WE ARE DOWN TO THE LAST 18 MONTHS OR 16 MONTHS OF OUR SCOPE AS A COMMITTEE THAT KNOWING THAT THIS TYPE OF COMMITTEE IS NEEDED BEYOND.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BECOME THE STANDARD FOR ANY GROUNDWORK MOVING FORWARD, I WOULD THINK, WHETHER IT'S US OR A DIFFERENT GROUP OF PEOPLE.
BUT I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE, ARE YOU ON BOARD WITH HER BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS WORK POTENTIALLY ROLLING INTO THAT TYPE OF FACILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE ROLE? I MEAN, ARE YOU PLANNING ON STAYING HERE?
>> YEAH. I PLAN ON STAYING ON HERE.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HELP OUT.
>> THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY SANDY FOR YOUR POINT AND HE LOOKS A GREAT GUY, BUT HE'S AN ALTERNATE MEMBER.
HE DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF THE VOTING MEMBERS.
HE NEEDS A CHANCE YOU ALTER THE CHEMISTRY A LITTLE BIT, BUT UP TO SPEED, HE KNOWS THE TERMS OF THIS PROJECT, HOW MANY OF US MIGHT DECIDE TO JUMP SHIP.
>> [LAUGHTER] BUILD A STRONG BASE.
>> IT'S LIKE RILEY SAID, WHO KNOW WHERE IT GOES ON NEXT.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN, BUT A NON-VOTING MEMBER RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO CHANGE THE DYNAMICS THAT MUCH.
I THINK WE ALL ON THE COMMITTEE, EXCEPT [INAUDIBLE] HAS BEEN HERE SINCE DAY ONE. IT'S BEEN WHAT? FOUR YEARS AND WE'RE ON THE LAST YEAR [OVERLAPPING] TO DISRUPT THE INDUSTRY.
>> I GUESS WITH THAT I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO BRING RICK ON US AS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE AS SUCH?
>> ME. I PROPOSE TO BRING RICK AS THE LAST ALTERNATE MEMBER OF THE PARTNERS.
>> ALL IN FAVOR TO BRING RICK ON AS THE SECOND ALTERNATE FOR [INAUDIBLE].
>> AYE [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER].
>> WELCOME. COUGAR. [LAUGHTER]
>> YOU DIDN'T CELEBRATE WELL THE LAST [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE BENCH IS FULL EVERYBODY IS DONE FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. [OVERLAPPING] [NOISE]
>> SUPREME COURT JUSTICES [LAUGHTER] DYING FOR DECISION NOW.
>> OKAY. IF YOU WANT TO GET TAMMY, YOUR OFFICIAL NAME FOR NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT EMAIL.
I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY UP TO SPEED ON SHAREPOINT AND ALL THAT.
BUT IF KNOW HOW TO USE PROFORM 3, YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE SHAREPOINT.
>> SOCIAL MEDIA AND EMAIL, THE ONLY GOOFY THING ABOUT OUR GROUP IS THAT WE'RE TECHNICALLY A BOARD, APPOINTED COMMITTEE.
WE'RE BOUND BY ALL THE PUBLIC MEETING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MEANS MORE THAN THREE OF US CAN'T BE IN A PLACE TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT IT BEING PUBLICLY BONA FIDE.
IT'S NOT REALLY AN ISSUE, BUT IT COULD BE IF SOMEBODY REALLY WANTED TO CARE AND I KNOW.
[01:50:01]
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? [INAUDIBLE] GET THEM AN EMAIL.>> OH, I THINK THAT'S IT RIGHT INTO THE SHAREPOINT SITE.
WHAT WE PUT ON THERE IS ALL THE DOCUMENTS CONTAINED IN THE PACKET AND THEN SOME WHEN I GET CHANGE ORDERS OR ANYTHING PERTINENT TO THE GROUP I UPLOAD INTO SHAREPOINT.
I TRY TO UPLOAD THEM AS SOON AS I GET THEM.
I MAY PUT THE MEETING PACKET TOGETHER, THE [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE MEETING [INAUDIBLE] INFORMATION.
BUT AS THE INFORMATION COMES IN I TRY TO UPLOAD IT RIGHT AWAY. [NOISE]
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR SCHEDULE IS, BUT THERE'S STILL SLOT AVAILABLE FOR A TOUR TOMORROW AT NOON.
>> THURSDAY, SORRY. I WISH IT WAS GOING TO SAY.
>> THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE, I'M SURE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
OR YOU CAN SWEET TALK KEN INTO A PRIVATE TOUR. I DON'T KNOW.
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY [INAUDIBLE] SWEET TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO IT. [LAUGHTER]
>> KEN ARE YOU GOING TO BE UP ON THURSDAY?
>> OKAY. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE I MAY HAVE TO FINALLY CANCEL SOME APPOINTMENTS AND PICK YOU UP IN PERSON.
>> BRING MY PEPPER SPRAY. [LAUGHTER]
>> ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER?
>> [INAUDIBLE] WILL DO.
