>> WE'LL GET STARTED WITH OUR AUGUST MEETING
[00:00:03]
OF THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND START BY ROLL-CALL.[1. CONVENE]
WE DON'T HAVE WI-FI, SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY ON TEAMS, BUT WE'LL JUST GO AROUND CLOCKWISE.>> MARK HARTING, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> TRISTEN BYERS, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> DAN CORNELSEN, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> MARK DEEBACH, FERNDALE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> RICK STRISSEL, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> MIKE CONTEZAC, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> BRIAN LYNCH, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> RILEY CORNELSEN, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
>> ALL RIGHT. NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS WOULD BE TO ADOPT THE AGENDA OR MODIFY, [NOISE] AND WE HAVE A LATE ADDITION.
[NOISE] JOE LUPO, [OVERLAPPING] BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
[LAUGHTER] NEXT ITEM IS TO ADOPT THE AGENDA OR IF ANYBODY HAS ANY ADDITIONS, COMMENTS, ET CETERA AS WELL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO MODIFY IF SO.
>> ALL IN FAVOR OF ADOPTING THE AGENDA AS WRITTEN?
>> ANYONE OPPOSED? THE AGENDA IS ADOPTED AS WRITTEN.
MOVING ON TO THE MEETING MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH.
AGAIN, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, MODIFICATIONS, FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP NOW OR WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE AS WRITTEN.
>> I MOVE TO ACCEPT WHATEVER IT IS, THE MEETINGS FROM THE PAST.
>> ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE MINUTES FROM JULY AS WRITTEN?
>> ANYONE OPPOSED? THE MINUTES FROM JULY ARE APPROVED AS WRITTEN.
I DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND WE'RE NOT HOOKED UP TO TEAMS OR ZOOM,
[2. PUBLIC COMMENT]
SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO 2.02, WHICH IS ANY PUBLIC COMMENT RECEIVED OVER THE PAST MONTH.>> YOU ADDRESSED IT IN THE EMAIL.
IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER THAT A PUBLIC COMMENT BY THE STUDENTS.
>> OKAY. IF NOBODY HAS ANYTHING, I HAD COUPLE EMAILS THIS PAST MONTH TO BRING UP AND DISCUSS OR AGREE OR TO SHOOT DOWN.
I HAD A STUDENT REACH OUT TO ME AND ASK THAT WE BRING IT UP IN THIS COMMITTEE.
IT'S MORE OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT ITEM, BUT THEY REQUESTED THAT THERE BE A PLAN PUT IN PLACE LIKE SEND OFF FOR THE STUDENTS FOR THE OLD BUILDING TOWARDS THE END OF THE WINTER, ALMOST LIKE A STUDENT DEMO DAY.
NOT NECESSARILY DEMO, BUT A CHANCE FOR STUDENTS TO GO THROUGH THE BUILDING.
I THINK THEY DID A LITTLE SPRAY PAINT, GOODBYE STUFF IN THE LOCKER ROOMS. THAT TYPE OF DEAL, A CONTROLLED GRAFFITI PARTY, IF YOU WILL, OR DEMO PARTY, WHICH HAD I BEEN A STUDENT, I'D BE ALL OVER THAT.
>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT TURNS INTO A PUBLIC EVENT TYPE OF THING, BUT PALOMA [INAUDIBLE], I THINK, WAS HER NAME.
>> [OVERLAPPING] THINK SHE'S ONE OF THE-
>> [OVERLAPPING] OLD SETTLERS? YES, SHE ORIGINALLY WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY COULD BRING SLEDGEHAMMERS AND SUCH.
I THOUGHT THAT THAT WASN'T SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
>> YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF A FULL-BLOWN DEMO PARTY IS REALISTIC OR PRACTICAL, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A FUN EVENT FOR THE STUDENTS TO DO TO SAY GOODBYE AND EVEN IF IT DOES BLEED OVER INTO A PUBLIC INVITE, I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO THROW MY SHOW UP AND PARTICIPATE AND CHAPERON IF NEED BE.
[00:05:03]
BUT THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.I PERSONALLY MEANT SUPPORT AND TOLD HER THAT I WOULD BRING IT UP HERE FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE POWERS THAT BE AT THE DISTRICT AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT WARRANTS FURTHER DISCUSSION OR IF IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT?
>> IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, I WOULD REFER HER TO THE PRINCIPAL.
>> IF I DON'T WANT [INAUDIBLE]
>> YEAH. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW YOU CONTROL WHAT'S [NOISE] REALISTIC.
THERE'S 1,200 KIDS. NO,[NOISE] YEAH.
>> FROM WHAT I HEARD WAS GOING ON LAST FALL AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, MAYBE IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THEM TO GET IT OUT OF THEIR SYSTEMS BEFORE THEY GET INTO THE NEW SCHOOL.
HOPEFULLY THAT'S IMPROVED, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
>> ANOTHER THING THAT'S TAKEN SOME TRACTION WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE, THEY'RE ALL GOING, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE? WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO A FULL WALK-THROUGH, PUBLIC WALK-THROUGH OPEN HOUSE? I'VE HEARD THAT FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE, YOUNG AND OLD.
THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN [NOISE] AT SOME POINT, AND I'M SURE THAT WE WILL. [NOISE]
>> IT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.
>> WE MIGHT JUST THROW THAT ON A OLD BUSINESS OR FOLLOW-UP ITEM FOR NEXT MONTH.
IT'S JUST A OLD MAIN SEND OFF, IF YOU WILL.
THEN WE CAN JUST SEE WHERE IT GOES AND IF IT GOES NOWHERE, IT GOES NOWHERE.
THE OTHER ITEM QUESTION I HAD IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE BEFORE, BUT I DID WANT TO BRING IT UP AS A MATTER OF PUBLIC COMMENT.
I HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE REACH OUT AGAIN REGARDING THE PACK AND WHAT IS EXACTLY THE SCOPE AND PLAN FOR THE PACK, WHICH I KNOW IS AN ONGOING TOPIC AS WE GET THE BUDGET HAIR DOWN AND FIGURED OUT.
I GUESS MY ONLY COMMENT ON THAT WOULD JUST BE THAT THERE IS PUBLIC INTEREST SPECIFICALLY IN THAT TOPIC OUTSIDE OF THIS COMMITTEE.
SO ALL THE MORE REASON TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE AND PASS ON THE INFORMATION AS WE CAN.
>> YEAH. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I SAT ON A MEETING WITH ERIC AND ONE OF THE TEACHERS AND THEN THE DRAMA OR I GUESS THEY DO MUSICALS MOST OF THE TIME, AND THERE WAS CERTAINLY A LOT OF INTEREST IN THAT SCOPE OF WORK.
RELATED TO THAT, ON THE TOUR, IT SEEMED MOSTLY WITH CULINARY, IF THERE HAD BEEN A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCUSSION UPFRONT OR MAYBE TIME FOR IT, THAT MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE TEACHERS NEEDED IN CULINARY COULD HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED UPFRONT, SO I'M HOPING THAT MAYBE THERE'S STILL A TIME FOR THAT SAME THING TO HAPPEN WITH THE PACK.
I THINK THAT ERICKSON, HE'D JUST BRING IT ON, LET'S SEE WHAT'S ON THE LIST AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I THINK THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON IT.
>> WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CULINARY?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THEY CHANGED STOVE TYPES, IS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DID OR LAYOUT OR SOMETHING, JUST TWEAKED IT DURING THE DESIGN OR DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
BUT IT'S A WHOLE NEW TYPE OF EDUCATION, SO THEY PROBABLY ARE GOING IN BLIND ANYWAY.
>> THE OTHER DISCUSSION THAT'S COME UP A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW IS CENTERED AROUND THE PEOPLE THAT WERE REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN THE PAST AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT MADE THINGS LIKE
[00:10:03]
THE CURRENT AGRICULTURE OR HORTICULTURE OR GREENHOUSE ACTUALLY BECOME A REALITY.[NOISE] SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS ACTUALLY GETTING BUILT ON OUR CAMPUS.
I ALWAYS SAY THAT THERE'S LEADERS OUT THERE THAT EITHER CAN BUILD A PROGRAM OR KILL A PROGRAM.
I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN PEOPLE IN THE PAST THAT MADE IT.
THAT PROGRAM IS A FLAGSHIP PROGRAM.
I'M TALKING ABOUT BASICALLY THE AG SCIENCE.
ALONG THOSE LINES, I THINK THERE WAS SOME INTEREST IN, OR SOME THOUGHTS IN POSSIBLY NAMING THOSE FACILITIES AFTER FORMER TEACHERS THAT ACTUALLY MADE THAT PROGRAM SOMETHING OF WHAT IT IS TODAY AND OBVIOUSLY DICK RIGHTMYER IS A NAME THAT [NOISE] WITHOUT HIM, YOU GUYS PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE BUILDING THESE BUILDINGS.
THAT'S THE REALITY. FROM AN ATHLETIC STANDPOINT, THE [INAUDIBLE] CAME TO MIND, AND SO THERE WAS THE POTENTIAL THOUGHTS OF NAMING THOSE FACILITIES AFTER THOSE PEOPLE. [NOISE]
>> THE DISTRICT BUILDING-NAMING POLICY ACTUALLY SPECIFICALLY SAYS WE WON'T NAME BUILDINGS AFTER PEOPLE.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE A BOARD POLICY CHANGE. [NOISE]
>> I THINK THAT COULD BE A REALLY GOOD WAY OF HONORING PEOPLE THAT HAVE MADE WHAT WE HAVE TODAY A POSSIBILITY.
THOUGH WE SHOULD DIRECT PEOPLE, STEVE.
>> SPEAKING OF LEGACY, WHAT ARE THE PLANS OF THE BANNERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO PUT THEM BACK INTO THE GYM? DID YOU RETURN SOME OF THE LEGACY ITEMS THAT WERE IN THE OLD SCHOOL AND TRY TO REPLICATE IT, ARE THEY GOING TO CONDENSE IT? HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WE TAKE THOSE MEMENTOS TO THE NEW BUILDING?
>> WELL IT'S INTERESTING YOU BRING THAT UP.
[NOISE] ERIC'S BEEN WORKING WITH EICHMANN.
WE HAD AN ORIGINAL LIST OF MONUMENTS AND SIGNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
RIGHT NOW PRESENTLY THEY'RE WORKING ON A PLAN, WHERE DO YOU USE THOSE ITEMS? WHICH ITEMS TO ACTUALLY USE? THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE IN PRETTY QUESTIONABLE CONDITION, SO [NOISE] THAT'LL BE PART OF THE DISCUSSION BUT THAT'S ALL IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW AND ERIC'S WORKING WITH EICHMANN ON THAT.
>> THERE WAS A HUGE DISCUSSION AT WESTERN WHEN CARVER WAS REDONE BECAUSE CARVER HAD ALL THE OLD ORIGINAL BANNERS AND THEY'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO IN THE NEW GYM, AND IT WAS A COMPROMISE ESSENTIALLY.
>> BEFORE WE EVEN STARTED, WE WENT THROUGH A PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING AND SAFE GUARDING ALL THOSE ITEMS. THAT WAS EVEN BEFORE THE FOOTBALL STADIUM CAME DOWN AND WE WENT THROUGH WITH CORNERSTONE AND COLLECTED UP THOSE ITEMS AND HAVE THEM IN SAFEKEEPING.
NOW, ERIC AND THE SCHOOL WERE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EICHMANN WHAT TO WEAR OR WHAT TO USE AND WHERE TO USE THEM?
>> BECAUSE EVEN JUST THINKING OUT LOUD LIKE THE WRESTLING MAT ROOM OR THE PE MAT ROOM, I WAS THINKING IN HINDSIGHT THE DIFFERENCES AND THE OLDER ROOM IS SO SHORT AND THE NEW ONE SO TALL AND I WAS LIKE, ALL THOSE WRESTLING BANNERS THAT THERE'S REPETITIVE ONES.
THERE'S SO MUCH WALL SPACE THAT YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AND YOU'RE STILL HONORING THEM WITHOUT CONGESTING BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT LESS WALL SPACE SOMETIMES IN NEWER FACILITIES TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT I JUST KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WITH STRONG ATTACHMENTS TO SOME OF THE BANNERS.
>> YEAH. WE TOOK PICTURES OF ALL THE BANNERS.
WE STILL HAVE THEM, WE'LL REPLICATE THEM IN A MORE EFFICIENT [OVERLAPPING] BANNER LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND SO WE HAVE LESS WALL SPACE, BUT THEY WILL BE RECOGNIZED.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THE PUBLIC COMMENT SPHERE?
>> FROM THE TOUR THE OTHER DAY, TOOK A COUPLE OF THINGS AWAY THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE DISTRICT TO GET ON THE WEBSITE OR IN SOME WAY, IDENTIFY TO THE PUBLIC, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH FACEBOOK OR WHATEVER, THE AMAZING REBATE FOR THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A HUGE STORY TO TELL AND WE SHOULD BE TELLING IT BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG DEAL AND THAT'S SOMETHING
[00:15:04]
THAT THE COMMUNITY WILL LATCH ONTO AS FAR AS A POSITIVE THING.THE DOLLAR SPENT AND DOLLAR SAVED IS ALWAYS A BIG TOPIC.
WHEN WE WERE DOING THE BOND ALL THE WAY THROUGH, THAT WAS ALWAYS A BIG TOPIC.
THE GYM FLOORING THAT'S GOING ON THE WALLS, THAT'S A GREAT THING TO SHOWCASE AND TO BRING UP TO THE PUBLIC, AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THAT'S BEING REPURPOSED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITHIN THE NEW BUILDING TO SHOW THAT THAT'S CARRYING FORWARD.
I THINK THAT WAS A REALLY COOL THING.
THEN WHAT I REALLY LIKED WAS THAT MULTIPURPOSE PE ROOM.
IT REALLY SHOWCASES THE MULTI-USE OF A SPACE AND I THINK A REALLY GOOD USE OF THAT SPACE.
THERE'S NOT A BIG STORY TO TELL THERE, BUT IT'S A GREAT STORY TO BE ABLE TO TELL, IS THAT PE ROOM THAT'S ALSO A MAT ROOM THAT CAN BE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WHETHER IT'S EXERCISE OR MEETINGS OR WHATEVER.
IT'S A REALLY GOOD SPACE AND I THINK A REALLY GOOD FEEL-GOOD STORY THAT THE DISTRICT CAN TELL FROM A BOND PERSPECTIVE.
>> YEAH, I AGREE WITH ALL THOSE, JOE.
THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, THE PE LAB IS, I THINK, A HIGHLIGHT.
>> [OVERLAPPING] IT'S A GREAT ROOM.
>> I WAS IN THERE TODAY AND IT LOOKS BETTER EVERY DAY AND SO I THINK THAT'LL GET A LOT OF USE.
I THINK THE TOUR WAS FANTASTIC, BUT THOSE THOSE THREE ITEMS, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING THAT PUBLICLY, WE SHOULD BE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS BECAUSE IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO WRAP THEIR HEAD AROUND WHAT'S GOING ON.
THEY JUST SEE A BIG THREE-STORY BUILDING AND IT'S REALLY HARD FOR A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON OVER THERE, SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD SHOWCASE FEATURE, AND THE FACT THAT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT PAY TAXES BUT MIGHT NOT HAVE KIDS IN THE DISTRICT OR EVEN GRAND-KIDS IN THE DISTRICT DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY OPENING PART OF IT EARLIER THAN THE REST OF THE SCHOOL, AND I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER STORY TO TELL ABOUT HOW MUCH GOOD WORK HAS GONE INTO IT AND CONTINUED.
WE CALL IT COMMUNITY EFFICIENCY WITH DOLLARS.
I DON'T KNOW, THERE WAS ANOTHER WORD THAT YOU USED THE OTHER DAY.
I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT IT'S A GOOD STORY TO TELL AND WE SHOULD BE TELLING THAT.
>> I THINK WE WERE WORKING ON THIS LAST WEEK, RIGHT, MARK? WHEN WE WERE ARE TALKING ABOUT TELLING THE STORY [OVERLAPPING] WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE PHASING AND GOING THROUGH THIS AND THIS IS A HUGE POSITIVE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP THE GYM, WHICH ALLOWS US TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE COMPLETELY FINISHED WHEN WE OPEN IT AND THE ARTWORK'S NOT GOING TO BE UP, THE GYM FLOOR RE-PURPOSE, AND THE GYM ISN'T GOING TO BE THERE, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO CATCH UP, BUT WE CAN USE THE SPACE.
IT'S HATS OFF TO THE ARCHITECTS AND CORNERSTONE FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND EVERYONE ELSE.
>> WELL INTO YOUR POINT, JOE, [NOISE] LAST WEDNESDAY WE STARTED AN OAC MEETING WITH A SPECIFIC MEETING ABOUT TELLING THAT STORY, SO WE HAD ROB, THE PRINCIPAL, AND THEN SELENA.
WE HAD SELENA, WHO IS THE COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR, AND WE SPECIFICALLY TRIED TO GIVE THEM THE INFORMATION ON WHAT THAT STORY WAS [NOISE] AND THE REASONS WHY WE'RE MOVING INTO THE GYM EARLY, AND THAT THE ORIGINAL DEADLINE WAS FALL OF '23.
WE'VE TRIED TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK WITH THEM AND HAD CORNERSTONE PARTICIPATE IN THAT TO GIVE THE INS AND OUTS OF HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.
THE OTHER PART OF THAT WAS TO MANAGE EXPECTATIONS IN THAT.
WE ARE TURNING OVER THE ATHLETIC WING, BUT NOT A 100 PERCENT OF EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE.
ALL THE LIFE SAFETY, ALL OF THAT IS GOING TO BE A 100 PERCENT, OF COURSE, AND INSPECTED ALL THAT STUFF, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE MINUS SOME ITEMS OR MINUS SOME CEILING CLOUDS.
JUST SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO WE WANTED TO MANAGE THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY'RE NOT WALKING INTO A TURNKEY FACILITY AND A LOT OF THINGS WILL BE IN A TEMPORARY CONDITION, ALBEIT SAFE.
>> THE FACT THAT A CONTRACT IS WILLING TO DO THAT, PERIOD, IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
COMING FROM THAT WORLD, THEY DON'T HAVE TO.
IT'S WAY MORE EFFICIENT FOR THEM TO NOT ACTUALLY, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO DO THAT IS A BIG DEAL ON THEIR PART.
IT JUST SHOWS THE GOOD FAITH TO THE COMMUNITY.
[00:20:04]
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON PUBLIC COMMENT ITEMS? WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMUNICATION STUFF,
[3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]
I SEE THERE'S AN UPDATED DASHBOARD WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT'S GETTING LUMPED IN LINKEDIN WITH THE BOND UPDATE EVERY WEEK, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT.MORE INFORMATION THE BETTER, SO THAT'S GOOD.
>> ON THAT, I'M WONDERING IF WE'RE FAR ENOUGH ALONG THAT WE CAN TIGHTEN UP THE VISIONING IN DESIGN SIDE, AND GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL TO THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE OF IT, SHOWING SOME OF THESE MILESTONES THAT YOU'RE HITTING, AND JUST SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS.
BECAUSE THIS GOES UNTIL SCHOOL OPENS, BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ON-SITE DEMOING THE OLD BUILDING AT SOME POINT, WHETHER IT'S WITHIN THAT TIME-FRAME OR NOT, I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY, BUT I'M JUST WONDERING IF OPENING UP THAT BACK INTO THE SCHEDULE ON THIS DASHBOARD, CONDENSING THE FRONT END MIGHT BE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE HELPFUL, JUST A LITTLE MORE TRANSPARENCY.
>> WELL, I THINK THE MOVE-IN SCHEDULE THAT WE ALREADY HAVE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE, YOU THINK THAT TELLS THAT STORY? BECAUSE WE SHOW YOU DEMO.
>> [OVERLAPPING] I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE.
>> THERE'S ESSENTIALLY A MOVE IN PHASING MAP.
>> WHICH SHOWS THE DEMO OF THE OLD SCHOOL AND THE DEMO OF THE GYM AND THOSE COMPONENTS, SO I THINK WITH THIS AND THAT COMBINED, THAT TELLS THAT STORY.
>> MAYBE LINKING, I GUESS MAYBE THE SHORT BEFORE WE RE-INVENT OR ASK TO HAVE THIS THING RE-INVENTED AND MAYBE ON THAT BOND UPDATE, THROW IN THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH SCHOOL STARTING NEXT WEEK.
>> IT'S ONLINE, BUT THIS IS ON THE BOND UPDATE EVERY WEEK.
>> BUT THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA JUST TO THROW THAT LITTLE SNAPSHOT IN WITH THE LIST OF PICTURES.
JOE, WOULD YOU PREFER TO SHRINK THAT UP STILL?
>> IF IT'S LINKEDIN, IT'S A CLEAR PATH, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE FINE.
I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, SO I GUESS I'M A LITTLE NAIVE IN THAT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, SO I APOLOGIZE.
I PROBABLY HAVE SEEN IT AT SOME POINT, I JUST DON'T REMEMBER.
>> ON THAT TOPIC, AND I THINK WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS, IT TIES IN WITH THE TOUR, BUT WITH SCHOOL STARTING NEXT WEEK AND HAVING USED TO THAT, JIM, I ASSUME YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER WAYFINDING MAPS FOR STUDENTS AND PUBLIC.
IT FUNNELS YOU THROUGH WHAT THE FENCING AND STUFF FOR ANYBODY THAT'S BEEN ON CAMPUS.
BUT I'M JUST THINKING FOR VISITORS TO CAMPUS AND VISITING TEAMS AND ALL THAT STUFF, MAKING SURE THERE'S A CLEAR ENTRANCE, EXIT, FIRE, YADA-YADA-YADA.
>> YES. THAT'S BEEN A TEAM EFFORT BETWEEN DYKEMAN, THE CITY.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY AS TO WHAT THAT POSTINGS WOULD BE, WHERE THE EGRESS PATHS ARE, WHERE THE AREAS OF REFUGE ARE AT.
THEN THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST WEEK AT OUR WEDNESDAY MEETING WITH RAV.
THEN ERIC HAS BEEN KEEPING IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH THAT.
WE SHOULD BE OUT AHEAD OF THE GAME ON THAT.
>> YEAH, WE'VE GOT THE MAPS COMPLETED.
THEN OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL BE WHATEVER 2, 3 MORE ITERATIONS OF THAT WITH THE SEMESTER TURNOVER AND END OF SCHOOL AND ALL THAT.
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE TRICKIEST ONE I THINK IS WHEN WE GO TO [OVERLAPPING] DEMO OF THE OLD SCHOOL TO BE BLOCKING OFF.
YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY SENDING EVERYBODY DOWN ONE LANE, ONE ENTRANCE, RIGHT?
>> WELL, WE ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
>> LIKE AROUND OLD MAIN AT THE BACK.
>> YEAH. IT'S STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS,
[00:25:02]
BUT THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION WOULD BE TO HAVE SOME OF THE FOLKS COME AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE AND COME AROUND THE NORTH SIDE SO IT'D BE TWO APPROACHES.>> I GUESS, WHEN THE KIDS GET THERE ON THE 31ST, IS THAT RIGHT? 31ST? WILL THEY KNOW? WILL THEY HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE TO GO OR WILL IT JUST BE A WALK AROUND AND LOOK AROUND?
>> IT STARTS WITH FRESHMEN ORIENTATION ON MONDAY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE MAPS OUT.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE GROUPS OUT THERE.
THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW THEIR WAY AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
WE'RE GOING TO DO A VIDEO FOR THE STUDENTS THAT THEY'LL SEE IN THEIR EAGLETIME, SO THEY'LL KNOW WHERE TO GO.
WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT.
ALONG WITH ALL THE EVACUATION ROUTES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THE APPS ARE READY TO GO AND THE KIDS WILL GET IT AND WE'LL TAKE THEM THROUGH IT.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON PUBLIC COMMUNICATION STUFF? WE'LL DO SOME FOLLOW-UP STUFF FROM LAST MONTH AND JUST GET FOR THE FOLKS THAT WERE EITHER WALKED BY THE BOOTH, SAT AT THE BOOTH, TALKED TO PEOPLE ABOUT THE BOOTH, WERE ADULT SETTLERS, HAD A CONVERSATION IN THE BEER GARDEN, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, ANY FEEDBACK ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOND SELLERS WEEKEND?
>> THERE WAS A BOOTH. YOU WERE SIGNED UP TO BE THERE FROM 10:00 TO NOON ON SATURDAY.
>> YOU DID AWESOME ACTUALLY. EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW THAT JOE GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF.
>> I DIDN'T GO DOWN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
THE LOCATION OBVIOUSLY WAS HORRIBLE AND FOOT TRAFFIC WAS MINIMAL.
BUT I HAD A FEW PEOPLE STOP BY AND ASK QUESTIONS.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PROBABLY A BETTER LOCATION AT THAT GATE ENTRANCE OR SOMETHING.
>> WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS DROPPED OFF IN THE DROP BOX?
>> THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME PIECES OF PAPER IN THE DROP BOX.
>> I WAS OUT OF TOWN. I NEVER KNEW. I KNOW.
[LAUGHTER] I HAD TO MOVE MY DAUGHTER TO CHICO, CALIFORNIA.
>> IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO BRING BACK TO US, THAT'D BE GREAT.
IF IT'S STUFF YOU CAN ANSWER FROM THE DISTRICT.
>> ANYTHING ELSE FROM OLD SETTLERS WEEKEND OF NOTE BOND-RELATED? THE OLD MAIN TOUR.
DAN, ANY COMMENTS FROM YOUR TOUR OF BREAD, THE OLD SCHOOL?
>> WE LITERALLY HAD THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE THERE.
NO, THE TOUR WENT WELL AND THERE WERE LITERALLY PEOPLE THERE THAT HADN'T BEEN IN THAT HIGH SCHOOL SINCE WE GRADUATED IN 1972.
IT WAS GOOD FOR THEM TO GET A FEEL FOR IT AND THEN THEY WERE BEMOANING THE FACT ABOUT HOW WE HAD TO TEAR IT ALL DOWN OR WHATEVER.
THEN JAMIE SAID, WELL, LET ME SHOW YOU THIS.
AND AS WE WALKED OUT THE FINAL DOOR OUT TO WHERE THE GYM WAS STARTING TO GET READY FOR DEMOLITION, THERE WAS A TWO-INCH MAIN BREAK AND HE SAID, THIS IS THE REASON, THIS HAPPENED AT THREE O'CLOCK YESTERDAY MORNING, AND THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
THAT WAS A REAL GOOD POINT WHERE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS STRUGGLING AND THIS IS WHAT WE GO THROUGH ON A REGULAR BASIS.
BRAD WAS ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF US AND JAMIE WAS ABLE TO FILL STUFF IN AND TOM DEMO WAS THERE AS WELL,
[00:30:02]
SO YOU HAD THIS WEALTH OF INFORMATION, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, THAT REALLY WAS ABLE TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS.I THINK IT WAS GOOD. IT WENT REAL WELL.
>> THE TOUR I WAS ON RIGHT BEFORE YOURS, WE HAD SOMEBODY FROM CLASS OF '63, YES '63, I THINK, AND HE DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE PLACE.
IT DIDN'T BOTHER HIM AT ALL THAT IT WAS COMING DOWN.
IT LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHEN HE WAS THERE [LAUGHTER].
HE WAS HAPPY TO SEE WHEN YOU LOOK OUT THE WINDOW IN A COUPLE OF THE ROOMS WE WENT IN, SEE THE BUILDING BEING BUILT.
EVERYBODY WAS REAL EXCITED TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
THEY ALL GOT TO SEE THE WATER SPEWING OUT OF THE GROUND, OUT THE DOOR.
>> HERE'S ONE THING I HAVEN'T HEARD ON THE SALVAGE LIST.
THERE'S THAT THE COOL OLD BLUEPRINTS OF OLD MAIN THAT ARE FRAMED ON THE WALL IN THE LIBRARY.
I THINK THAT'D BE SOMETHING WORTH AT LEAST HANGING ONTO, MAYBE NOT REUSING IT, BUT AT LEAST CAREFULLY TAKING IT DOWN AND PRESERVING IT.
>> THEY'RE LITERALLY OUR BLUEPRINTS.
THAT OLD CHIMNEY BACK THERE USED TO GO OUT ANOTHER 20 FEET TALL, YOU KNOW THAT? IT'S ON THE OLD PLANS, TAKE A LOOK.
>> IS THERE STILL DRAFTING CLASSES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, THAT THEY OFFER?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THERE WERE DRAFTING CLASSES OR CAD CLASSES, BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, THERE'S A LOCATION TO PUT THE PLANS.
>> I COULDN'T HEAR YOU. WHICH PART?
>> DO THEY HAVE CAD OR DRAFTING CLASSES? DO THEY OFFER THOSE? I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING [OVERLAPPING] OBVIOUS ON THE TOUR.
>> YEAH, WE'VE GOT THAT IN OUR CTE.
>> BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST PLACE THAT THOSE WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE.
>> BECAUSE NO ONE ON THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR.
THOSE DRAWINGS ARE ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE LEFT. THAT'S COOL.
>> I KNOW WE TALKED A LONG, LONG TIME AGO ABOUT AND EVERYBODY WANTED TO KEEP CHUNKS OF PLYWOOD AND CRAP THAT WAS NOT WORTH KEEPING.
THE CONSENSUS WAS WE'LL TAKE SOME PICTURES OF THE OLD STUFF AND FIND PLACES TO PUT IT UP.
I ASSUME THOSE PICTURES GOT TAKEN.
>> I THINK THAT THE COMMITTEE THAT WE PUT TOGETHER FOR THE ARTWORK, I THINK THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE AND LOOKING AT THAT, SO I HAVEN'T KEPT UP WITH THEM LATELY, HONESTLY.
>> THAT WOULD BE GOOD I THINK FOR OUR GROUP BECAUSE BEING THAT THAT WAS A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WAS JUST TO GET AN UPDATE ON, ACTUALLY PROBABLY TALKED ABOUT THE ART STUFF TOO.
IT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO GET AN UPDATE FROM THAT THROUGH IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO?
>> NO, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. ALONG WITH THE RECLAIMED GYM FLOOR AND WHERE THAT'S GOING TO BE PUT.
IT BLENDS TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT.
>> ALL THAT LIKE RECLAMATION, HISTORICAL NOSTALGIA STUFF.
KEN, UPDATE ON THE CASCADE NATURAL GAS.
I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE AUTOBAHN IN GERMANY WHEN I GOT THE EMAIL, AND WE WERE SHOOTING FOR AROUND 65 GRAND AND WE ENDED UP WITH 105. BIG DEAL.
>> BIG DEAL. THAT'S A BIG DEAL TO THIS COMMUNITY.
>> IT PAYS FOR THE LOGO ON THE BLEACHERS.
>> NO, IT ISN'T GOOD. IT'S A MAJOR POINT TO PUT OUT THERE FOR SURE.
>> YEAH, IT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT THEY'RE OVERCHARGING ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS IN ORDER TO REBATE BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED A QUITE FRAME IT LIKE THAT, BUT I UNDERSTAND. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU DIDN'T WANT IT FRAMED LIKE THAT.
>> ONE THING TIED TO THIS A LITTLE BIT, BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT TELLING SOME OF THOSE STORIES.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY KEEPS COMMENTING ON, AS WELL AS THE FOLKS THAT WENT ON THE TOUR IS HOW WELL THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED THAT ON A HOT DAY, YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR AND YOU INSTANTLY EXPERIENCE ABOUT A 15 DEGREE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE.
THAT'S WITH NO AIR EQUIPMENT RUNNING.
WE DON'T HAVE COMMON AIR CONDITIONING, BUT NO AIR HANDLING EQUIPMENT WAS RUNNING,
[00:35:03]
AND WE STILL EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT 15 DEGREE.IT'S A TESTAMENT TO THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY THAT THE DESIGNERS IMPLEMENTED INTO THE BUILDING.
FROM THE SUN SHADES TO THE TYPE OF GLASS THAT WE HAVE, TO THE TYPE OF VENTILATION WE HAVE, ETC.
HONESTLY, I'VE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED MYSELF EVERY TIME I WALK IN AND OUT ON A HOT DAY.
USUALLY, I THINK MOST OF THAT STUFF'S PLYING THIS GUY, BUT IT WORKS.
IT'S A COOL STORY, AND IT'S GOING TO LEND ITSELF TO MEETING THAT 2019 CLEAN BUILDING ACT THAT STARTED LAST YEAR.
I THINK IT WAS JULY OF LAST YEAR WHERE THERE'S A NEW STANDARD THAT THE BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MEET.
THAT WAS ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE IMPLEMENTED A NEW SPECIAL INSPECTIONS PROTOCOL FOR THE DUCT SEALANT ON ALL THE DUCTS.
TRADITIONALLY WHAT'S HAPPENED IF THE DUCKS AREN'T SEALED, THEY SIMPLY GIVE IT MORE PRESSURE AND THAT OVERCOMES THE PRESSURE LOSS, WELL, THEN YOU'RE NOT EFFICIENT.
IF THE DUCKS ON THIS BUILDING WERE INEFFICIENT OR THE AIR HANDLING EQUIPMENT WASN'T EFFICIENT, WE WON'T MEET OR YOU GUYS WON'T MEET THOSE STANDARDS GOING FORWARD AS THEY'RE BEING IMPLEMENTED OVER THE NEXT 5-10 YEARS.
IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH WHERE EVEN THE DUCT SEALANT, WE DESIGNED A NEW PROCESS HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO START DOING THAT ON ALL OF OUR CSG PROJECTS WHERE WE HAVE THE SPECIAL INSPECTIONS BECAUSE OUR COMMISSIONING FOLKS HAVE ALWAYS HAD SUCH A CHALLENGE GETTING THE DUCTS TO HOLD PRESSURE.
ANYWAY, BUT IT ALL DOVETAILS TOGETHER FOR THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BUILDING AND MEDIUM THAT CLEAN BUILDING ACTS.
>> MARK, I REMEMBER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT NOT HAVING A CEILING IN THAT BUILDING.
DID YOU THINK IT WAS GOING TO WORK? JUST PUTTING SUN SHADES AND THE DIFFERENT GLASS?
>> YES. [LAUGHTER] I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
>> BECAUSE THE OTHER THING TOO, WE'VE GOT CEILING FANS GOING IN AS WELL TO CIRCULATE THE AIR.
WE OUTLINED A LOT OF THE MEASURES THAT IT'S A LAYERED APPROACH.
IT'S STILL GOING TO THIRD FLOOR AND THE SPRING THERE SHOULD BE A FEW DAYS, THEY'RE STILL A LITTLE BIT WARM.
[OVERLAPPING] IT'S MUCH BETTER THEN.
>> IT'S ALSO A PROGRAMMING ISSUE TO WHERE IF YOU DO HAVE SUMMER SCHOOL IN THE HIGH SCHOOL, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SUMMER SCHOOL DOWN ON THE FIRST FLOOR, NOT UP ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE COLDER FLOORS BECAUSE THE THIRD FLOOR WILL BE WARMER THAN THE TWO FLOORS BELOW.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE GOOD TO MOVE ON? WE'LL GET INTO NEW BUSINESS AND I DON'T THINK
[4. NEW BUSINESS]
WE GOT HEIDI'S EXPENDITURE SUMMARY THIS MONTH.>> SHE DID MAKE APOLOGIES AND SHE'S LEAVING ON VACATION TOMORROW AND SIMPLY RAN OUT OF TIME.
>> ON THAT, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE EXPENDITURE BECOMING THE EXPENDITURE PACKET AT THIS POINT ON THE LIST?
>> WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE FOR THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM?
>> I THINK WE'RE UP IN A 187,000.
[OVERLAPPING] WELL, I THINK THAT WAS UP.
I'D PULL IT UP BUT I THOUGHT I SAW ONE OF THE POTENTIALS PCA ACOS OR MAYOR'S COMBINED ONE.
>> INTERNET, I WAS PULLING IT UP BUT THAT'S NOT WORKING SO WELL FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
YOU SHOULD KNOW EVERY PAGE AND EVERY LINE ITEM.
>> WE ACTUALLY GOT IT TO GO DOWN.
WE WERE SITTING AT 180 SOME THOUSAND.
>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT AND THEN I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEWHERE AMAZING COMBINED.
I JUST WENT THROUGH IT LAST NIGHT REAL QUICK ON THE ACTUAL CHANGE ORDER.
>> LET ME DO [INAUDIBLE] TO TRY AND FIND IT.
[00:40:48]
>> YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS ON CASH-FLOW OR EXPENDITURE OR?
>> YOU SAY WORK CONSISTENTLY [OVERLAPPING].
>> SO WE'RE UNDER BUILD FROM WHERE IT WAS PROJECTED AT.
MY 30,000 FOOT VIEW WOULD SAY THAT SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER ARE GOING TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER WITH FINISHING THE ACADEMIC BUILDING THAT'S SITTING IDLE, WELL, NOT IDLE, BUT IT'S SITTING SECOND TIER PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.
THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS, IS THAT STUFF THAT WAS SLATED TO SHOW UP THIS SUMMER.
>> WE'RE ONLY TRACKING $3.6 MILLION OFF OF WHAT IT WAS OBJECTED AT THIS POINT ON 60 MILLION SO IT'S FIVE PERCENT, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN SHOT THROUGH STATE SO ACCURATE.
>> WELL, IN THAT OVER TIME WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN USING THAT OVERTIME TO GET TO THIS POINT NOW.
OUR BIG PUSH IS TO TURNOVER AT THE GYM.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHERE WE LOST MOST OF THE TIME ON OUR SCHEDULE.
WE'RE USUALLY RUNNING THROUGH 20,000-30,000 IN OVERTIME PER MONTH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT THE STUDENTS IN ON TIME.
THOSE ARE ALL BUILT INTO THAT GCCM RISK CONTINGENCY.
WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN EXPANDING.
IN FACT, I'M HOPING THAT ONCE WE GET THE STUDENTS MOVED IN, WE START EASING BACK ON THAT.
I THINK WE WILL, BECAUSE THE ACADEMIC WING YOU COULD SEE HOW FAR ALONG IT IS AND IT'S PRIMARILY BEEN SITTING THERE, NOT IDLE, BUT NOT A LOT OF WORK HAPPENING FOR THE LAST MONTH.
>> THE TIME THEY LOST OF THE GYM, THEY GOT AHEAD OF THE SCHEDULE IN THE ACADEMIC WAY.
>> THEY'RE FARTHER ALONG THAN WHAT THEY SHOULD BE ON THE ACADEMIC WING.
THEY'RE SPENDING MORE CATCHING UP ON THE GYM BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE THE CASE ONCE WE MOVE INTO THOSE.
>> PART OF THAT WAS AS A TEAM, WE AGREED EARLY ON TO INVEST IN A TEMPORARY ROOF SYSTEM OVER THE ENTIRE ACADEMIC WING, WHICH MEANT THAT WE TOOK THE VAPOR BARRIER THAT WAS HIGHER UP IN THE ROOFING SYSTEM AND MOVED IT DOWN AND ADDED SOME BACKER BOARD SO AS SOON AS WE HAD THE PAN DECKING DOWN, WE FLOP THE BOARD DOWN, WE PUT THE TEMPORARY MEMBRANE ON THERE TO GET THE BUILDING AND THE DRY.
THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED UP HAVING SO MUCH SCHEDULE SAVINGS IN THE ACADEMIC WING WAS BECAUSE WE DID INVEST IN THAT TEMPORARY ROOF SO THAT THE WEATHER MITIGATION WAS A LOT EASIER AT THAT END OF THE BUILDING THAN AT THE BIG OPEN PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDING.
[00:45:25]
>> IT DOES RUN IN SYNC THOUGH WITH THE PROJECT SCHEDULE.
WE'VE ALREADY BUILT MOST OF THE FACILITY.
WHEN WE GET PAST THIS TURNOVER AND THE EXPENSES GO DOWN UNTIL WE GET BACK TO TEARING DOWN THE OLD SCHOOL, STARTING TO FINISH.
YOU SEE THERE'S A CURVE HERE WHERE WE TAPER OFF, AND THEN LATER ON IN MAY, JUNE, JULY, WE START GOING BACK UP.
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE THIS DROP, THEN WE'D RUN OUT OF MONEY.
>> JUST FOR CORRECTION, ACTUALLY I FOUND IT.
IT'S ACTUALLY ACCUMULATED BALANCE, THE $500,000, NOT JUST FOR THE IRRIGATION.
I JUST REMEMBERED WRONG FROM LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH IT REAL QUICK.
IRRIGATION IS 161,740, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE LESS THAN WHAT THE ORIGINAL WAS.
WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE VALUE ENGINEERING STEP TO APPLY ONCE WE'RE IN THE FIELD DOING THE WORK.
WE ALL AGREED THAT [NOISE] ONCE WE GET TO THE POINT OF INSTALLING THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO PAUSE.
WE'LL HAVE JAMIE COME OUT, THE GROUNDS KEEPERS COME OUT, AND WE'LL ONLY INSTALL WHAT WE FEEL IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE GRASS GREEN MOST OF THE TIME. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? NOT A GOLF COURSE, BUT ANYWAY, SO WE GOT 27 GRAND OUT OF IT IN THAT MOVE, AND THEN WE GOT LOCKED IN WITH THE PRICE WITH THE LANDSCAPER.
THEN WE DO ANTICIPATE TO DO ONE MORE ROUND AND TRY AND CHISEL THAT DOWN SOME MORE.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET ANOTHER 20 GRAND OUT OF IT, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO SEE LATER ON.
>> SINCE IT'S NEXT ON THE LIST, ANY UPDATES ON WHERE WE'RE SITTING WITH THE PARK BUDGET OR THE TIMELINE FOR TRYING TO FLUSH THAT OUT?
>> NOT READY TO DISCUSS THAT TONIGHT.
[NOISE] BUT HEIDI AND I HAVE SCHEDULED THE TIME FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD PRIOR TO OUR NEXT MEETING.
HEIDI IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE COMING UP TO FERNDALE AND I THINK SHE'S GOING TO MEET WITH TAMMY AND JUST DO SOME RECONCILING WITH WHAT THEIR PROCESS IS.
BUT THEN SHE AND I ARE GOING TO SIT DOWN ON AND DO A DEEP DIVE INTO THE BUDGET.
WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT IT AND JUST WHERE WE'RE AT, WHERE THE MONEY SITS.
THEN ONCE WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION, WE ARE GOING TO PLAN TO SIT DOWN WITH MARK AND JUST SEE IF WE CAN DO A PROJECTION OUT THROUGH THE REST OF THE PROJECT JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FEELING COMFORTABLE, SO THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> WE'LL JUST KEEP IT ON THE LIST.
SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME ALL THESE THINGS FROM WALTER E.
NELSON THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS BUYING? [BACKGROUND]
>> CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE [INAUDIBLE].
>> THAT NOW BECOMES UNDER THE UMBRELLA?
>> NO. [BACKGROUND] CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT.
>> I THINK FROM KEN'S PERSPECTIVE IT'S DIFFERENT, IT'S NOT UNDER THE FF&E BUDGET THAT'S PART OF THE SCOPE.
>> YEAH. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THE DISTRICT PROVIDES AND THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT GET PROVIDED IN THE FF&E SCHEDULE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE DRAWINGS, THERE'S FF&E DRAWINGS THAT SHOWS ALL THE FF&E ITEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BASE CONTRACT FOR THE JOB.
[00:50:04]
[NOISE] ANYTHING NOT ON THE FF&E DRAWINGS IS AN OWNER SUPPLIED TYPE ITEM AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH JAMIE AND ERIC ON THOSE TO GET THOSE ALL SUPPLIED.I THINK THE PLAN IS TO TRY AND FUND THAT THROUGH THE PROJECT BUDGET, BUT IT DOESN'T COME OUT OF THE FF&E BUCKET.
>> WE HAD THAT ORIGINALLY FF&E WHERE PAREL CAME IN ABOUT A MILLION BUCKS, $900, 800 WHATEVER IT WAS UNDER HER ORIGINAL PROJECTION.
[NOISE] BUT THEN THAT'S LIMITED TO WHAT WAS IN THE DRAWINGS ON THE FF&E PAGES.
THEN ANYTHING BEYOND THAT IS AN OWNER SUPPLIED ITEM WHICH WE'VE ACTUALLY WORKED WITH DICHMANN, PAREL, AND MYSELF, ERIC, TO IDENTIFY AND SHAKE OUT ALL THE ITEMS WE ARE GOING TO NEED, BE IT A MICROWAVE OR A PIZZA OVEN OR ESPRESSO MACHINE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
THOSE THINGS ARE ALL BEING RAN THROUGH THE OWNER FURNISHED ITEMS.
>> THERE WAS A BUNCH OF POS THAT CAME THROUGH FOR HENRY SHINE ALL THE ATHLETIC TRAINING EQUIPMENT.
>> EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE THERE IS BEING TRACKED IN OUR DIFFERENT SPREADSHEETS, AND SO THOSE WOULD BE ALL IN THE OWNER FURNISH OWNER INSTALLED BUCKET.
THAT'S WHAT ERIC AND JAMIE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON.
DICHMANN WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO SPEND A BUNCH OF TIME WITH PAREL, SHAKE OUT EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T PROVIDED FOR IN THOSE FF&E PAGES.
WE CONVERTED THOSE INTO SPREADSHEETS TO HAND OFF TO ERIC AND JAMIE AND WORK WITH THEIR STAFF BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS, THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WE KNOW WHAT TO ORDER FOR THEM.
IF IT'S TABLES AND CHAIRS, IT'S EASY.
IF IT'S A POPCORN MACHINE, WHATEVER, THAT INFORMATION HAS TO BE DEVELOPED BY THEM.
>> YEAH. WE'VE EAR MARKED MONEY IN THE DISTRICT OPERATING BUDGET FOR ITEMS THAT WE KNEW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
NOT SPECIFICALLY KNOWING WHAT THEY WERE AT THE TIME, BUT KNOWING YOU MOVE INTO A NEW HOUSE, YOU NEED NEW STUFF, WHATEVER, SO WE SET SOME GENERAL FUND MONEY ASIDE FOR THAT, FOR THINGS THAT DOESN'T FIT UNDER THE BOND MONEY.
IF WE CAN FUND IT OUT OF THE SAVINGS, GREAT.
IF NOT, THEN WE'VE GOT THE BACKUP RESERVED FOR IT.
>> NORMALLY YOU TAKE SOME OF YOUR OLD STUFF WITH YOU WHEN YOU MOVE TO A NEW HOUSE, BUT.
THIS IS MAYBE NOT COME OUT OF THE BOND FUNDING.
THIS WILL BE OUR GENERAL FUND, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW YET BASED ON SAVINGS.
>> RIGHT. WE'LL DO A BUDGET TRANSFER TO BALANCE THE BOOKS AT THE END.
>> A LOT OF IT LIKE THE FLOOR SCRUBBERS AND THE EQUIPMENT IS DIFFERENT.
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT MATERIALS, DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLOORING, DIFFERENT LAYOUT, IT'S DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT THAT'S NEEDED.
A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT WE DON'T TAKE WITH US FROM THE EXISTING HIGH SCHOOL WE'LL REPURPOSE INTO OTHER FACILITIES, SO IT WON'T GO JUST TO THE DUMP.
IT'S NOT GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SIT AT THE GOODWILL.
>> CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT IS HOW YOU GET YOUR BUILDING TO LIVE LONGER, SO INVESTING IN GOOD CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT IS ALMOST A BONUS NOW BECAUSE THAT MEANS THE FACILITY WILL LAST LONGER AND YOU'RE NOT HAVING TO PAY TO REPLACE YOUR FLOORING OR DO WHATEVER ELSE THAT COULD BE DAMAGED.
I THINK IT'S HUGE TO BUY THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT.
>> I JUST WASN'T SURE ABOUT THESE RIDING LAWNMOWERS IN THE BUILDING.
[LAUGHTER] I'M SORRY, RIDE ON FLOOR SCRUBBER.
>> YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER [OVERLAPPING]
>> THOUGHT THAT GETTING EXERCISE WOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT. GO AHEAD, YES.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN HORIZON OPENED, I WAS A STUDENT THERE AND I REMEMBER THE CUSTODIAN HAD ONE OF THOSE MACHINES AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER AND HE LOVED IT EVEN MORE THAN WE DID.
I WAS HOPING THE HIGH SCHOOL WOULD GET ONE OR TWO BECAUSE IT HAS BIGGER FLOOR AREA.
>> WELL, IT REALLY IS A STAFF EFFICIENCY ITEM TOO.
IT'S LIKE WITH A RIDING LAWN MOWER, YOU CAN BUY ONE THAT'S GOT A FOUR-FOOT DECK, OR YOU CAN BUY A TRACTOR THAT'S GOT A 20-FOOT MOWING BAR BEHIND THERE.
HOW MANY PASSES DOES HE MAKE IN 10 YEARS AND HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU SPENDING FOR LABOR TO RUN THAT EQUIPMENT.
THAT'S A BIG PART OF THAT STAFF EFFICIENCY COMPONENT TOO.
IN FACT, I'M GLAD JAMIE JUST WALKED IN BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
[00:55:03]
RESEARCHING THE MOST EFFICIENT APPROACH FOR SCRUBBING FLOORS.I MEAN, I THINK HE EVEN TALKED ABOUT THEY HAVE ROBOTS NOW THAT DO IT.
>> IT'S A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM ON THE PERSONNEL AS WELL SO IT'S NOT JUST EFFICIENCY, BUT GOT SOME REPETITIVE USE INJURIES, WHICH CAN BE VERY COSTLY.
>> YOU GUYS WAITING FOR ME TO SAY SOMETHING OR? [LAUGHTER]
>> YES, FEEL THERE WAS A VERY AWKWARD PAUSE THERE.
[LAUGHTER] I WAS BEATING UP ON THE RIDING LAWNMOWERS FOR INSIDE THE BUILDING.
>> FROM A CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE, A TOOL 98 TIMES OUT OF 100 IS A BETTER USE OF MONEY THAN ADDITIONAL TIME SPENT WITH THE WORST TOOL.
I FELT THAT WAS MY JOB AT WESTERN WAS TO PREVENT LAWSUITS THROUGH INTERIOR DESIGN.
>> WISH YOU WERE WRONG. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, STUFF REGARDING THE COST, A AND B AND C, 4.01 ALL THE PAST [NOISE] STUFF THAT WILL GIVE KEN THE FLOOR FOR THE.
>> I THINK I CAN TAKE IT, HERE ISN'T A LOT THAT CHANGE BUT I CAN CERTAINLY GIVE AN UPDATE.
NO WORRIES. YOU SAID THAT THAT BED RESULT SHEET WAS IN HERE. IS THAT RIGHT?
>> THERE IT IS. I WANTED TO UPDATE ON THE LAST A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING UNDER THE CRITICAL BUILDINGS PROJECTS AND THAT'S A GLOBAL HVAC CONTROLS.
WHAT THAT INVOLVES IS WE'VE GOT THREE SCHOOLS THAT WERE ON THE ORIGINAL LIST TO RECEIVE DDC CONTROL UPDATES AND SO THESE ARE SCHOOLS THAT PRESENTLY HAVE DDC CONTROLS, BUT THEY'RE VERY OLD AND OUTDATED AND THEY DON'T CONFORM TO THE DISTRICT STANDARD AND SO THOSE SCHOOLS ARE CASCADIA, CENTRAL AND HORIZON AND THEN THERE WAS ONE SCHOOL THAT WAS LEFT OFF OF THE LIST FOR SOME REASON I'M NOT SURE WHY I WASN'T AROUND FOR THAT AT ALL, BUT VISTA WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WASN'T INCLUDED IN PROVIDING THOSE UPGRADES AND SO WHAT MY APPROACH ON THIS WAS TO BID OUT THE THREE SCHOOLS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY PROMISED IN THE BOND AND THEN HOPE THAT WE HAD ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO PERHAPS DO VISTA MIDDLE SCHOOL IF THAT'S WHAT THE DISTRICT WOULD LIKE TO DO, SO THAT'S NOT MY DECISION TO MAKE, BUT I WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED THAT VISTA MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO WE GET THE PRICING NOW AND SEE WHERE WE'RE AT ON THAT.
[NOISE] WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.
BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND, I USED A PARTICULAR RCW THAT ALLOWS A SELECTION PROCESS BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS OPPOSED TO JUST THE COST ALONE AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE WORKED ON PRETTY HARD IN THE BEGINNING, MARK AND I AND JAMIE, AND GETTING THE ATTORNEYS TO REVIEW AND APPROVE IT, AND IT WAS ALL BONAFIDE AND MEET STATE RULES.
BUT WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THAT LAST SHEET IS OUR QUALIFICATION SCORE SHEET AS TO HOW WE FINALLY SELECTED THE CONTRACTOR, SO PREVIOUSLY THE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS DOING ALL THE CONTROL WORK WAS UNITED ENERGY ENGINEERS IN BELLINGHAM.
[NOISE] THEIR OWNER DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO RETIRE TO OUR CHAGRIN, WHICH DIDN'T MAKE US TOO HAPPY.
BUT IN HIS PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR FOLKS THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING HIS COMPANY, HE DECIDED TO SELL OUT TO ATS IN BURLINGTON, WHICH IN THE PAST HAS NOT BEEN OUR PREFERRED FOLKS UNTIL HE HAD BEEN OUR PREFERRED FOLKS.
[01:00:05]
IN THE LAST ROUND, WE USED A SIMILAR PROJECT FOR ALL THE DDC UPGRADES WHERE WE SWITCHED OUT THE AIR CONTROLS FOR THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS AND USE THE SAME PROCESS HERE.BUT NOW WE HAD ATS TO CHOOSE FROM LONG SERVICES OUT OF AVERY AND HOLADAY-PARKS WHICH WAS DOWN IN SEATTLE.
IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE LIST, WE HAD A DIFFERENT QUALIFICATION, SO THE FIRST ITEM WOULD BE THE THE SYSTEM FRAMEWORK AND THAT'S THE NIAGARA TRIDIUM SOFTWARE AND SUPPORTED BY GUESTTEK FIELD DEVICES [NOISE] AND SO FOR THE THREE COMPANIES ATS PROVIDED THE NIAGARA, BUT THEY PROVIDED AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE FIELD DEVICES WHICH IS DELTA, WHICH COINCIDENTALLY IS MADE RIGHT ACROSS THE BORDER IN SURREY.
LONG AND HOLADAY-PARKS BOTH PROVIDED THE REQUESTED ITEMS AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEIR SCORES, ATS HAD 10 POINTS FOR NIAGARA NO POINTS FOR THE GUESTTEK AND THEN LONG AND HOLADAY-PARKS HAD 20 BOTH FOR PROVIDING THE BASE SYSTEM THAT WAS REQUESTED.
THEN WE HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT ITEMS, EXPERIENCE WITH THE SOFTWARE ON THE DDC COMPONENTS, AND THEN EXPERIENCE WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
THE ATS AND LONG BOTH SCORED MAXIMUM ON THOSE HOLADAY-PARKS, DID NOT RESPOND SO THEY WERE GIVEN ZERO.
THEN ONE THING THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO JAMIE AND THAT WE REALLY HONED IN ON IS THIS SERVICE COMPONENT, TO THE QUALIFICATION AND SO WE WENT DOWN WITH WHAT WAS THEIR ANTICIPATED RESPONSE TIME SERVICE TECHNICIAN, HOURLY RATES, SOFTWARE UPDATE PROVISIONS, ANNUAL CONTRACT AVAILABLE OR REQUIRED.
SOME COMPANIES REQUIRE YOU TO GET LOCKED INTO A YEARLY SERVICE AGREEMENT, WHICH IS REALLY EXPENSIVE AND YOU DON'T REALLY GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH AND THAT WAS A CONCERN OF JAMIE'S.
THEN AT THE END, [NOISE] THE CONTRACT OR REFERENCES AND WHATNOT AND SO ATS HAD SCORED 20 ON ALL THE SERVICE COMPONENTS LONG WAS 10.
HOLADAY-PARKS DIDN'T RESPOND TO ANY OF THOSE ITEMS, SO THEY WERE GIVEN ZERO.
ON THE CONTRACTOR REFERENCES, BOTH ATS AND LONG PROVIDED GOOD REFERENCES THAT ALL CHECKED OUT, THEY GOT 10.
HOLADAY-PARKS DID NOT THEY GOT ZERO.
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
PRESENTLY, THERE ARE SIGNED UP FOR $582,000 FOR THE BASE CONTRACT, WHICH ARE THE THREE ORIGINAL SCHOOLS AND THEN THERE'S AN ADD ALTERNATE WHICH WILL HAVE TO DECIDE ON WHAT'S THE DISTRICT HAS DECIDED WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY, IF WE'RE GOING TO EXERCISE THAT ALTERNATE OR NOT, SO THAT'S HOW THAT PROCESS WHEN YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR?
>> YOU REMEMBER THE AMOUNT THAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THOSE THREE SCHOOLS? ORIGINALLY. IT WAS 300 OR SOMETHING CRAZY LIKE THAT.
>> WELL, OH, YOU MEAN THE ORIGINAL.
>> NO LESS, WAY LESS, 200,000 FOR ALL OF THEM.
>> YEAH. I'D HAVE TO LOOK IT UP BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW.
I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE OVER THERE, 6, 700,000 COMPARED TO WHAT THE ORIGINAL PROJECTION WAS.
BUT IF YOU RECALL, WHEN WE GET OUR OVERALL BUDGET, ORIGINALLY TEXTS AND JAMIE WORKED TO DEVELOP THAT BUDGET TO WHERE WE FIT IT WITHIN THE BOX AND WE DID AND SO EVEN THIS NUMBER HERE IS $100,000 MORE THAN MY ORIGINAL PROJECTION.
BUT THEN I ADDED IN THE PROJECT CONTINGENCIES, BUT THEN I ALSO HAD SECRET CONTINGENCY.
[LAUGHTER] [NOISE] EVEN THOUGH WE'RE 100,000 OVER,
[01:05:02]
IT STILL FITS WITHIN THE BUDGET AND HOPEFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH MARK AS TO WHERE THAT BUDGETS AT HOW MUCH MONEY IS LEFT SO THE DISTRICT CAN MAKE A DECISION IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS OR NOT.MY PERSONAL [NOISE] POINT OF VIEW SINCE THE WORK'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL NEXT SUMMER, IT'S PROBABLY A DECISION THAT WE WANT TO WAIT TO SEE HOW THE REST OF THE PROJECTS PAN OUT BEFORE WE COMMIT TO SPENDING THAT MONEY.
BUT IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE AVAILABLE.
>> JUST SEE IF I'M ACTUALLY REMEMBERING CORRECTLY.
THESE ARE THE CONTROLS FOR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL, RIGHT? LAST MEAN, THE MEAN BEFORE IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE REALLY EXPENSIVE TO HARD WIRE IT AND DECISION WAS TO GO WIRELESS BECAUSE THE SPACING ABOVE THE TILES WAS TOO SHORT.
I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. I'M REMEMBERING THAT CORRECTLY, RIGHT, JAMIE?
>> WE THOUGHT THERE'D BE MORE DIFFERENCE IN THE BID THAT WAY AND ATS BID IT AS HARD WIRING IT.
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS REMEMBERING CORRECTLY ON THE WIRELESS.
>> YOU'RE REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, BUT ALL THE CONTRACTORS THERE INDICATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A LARGE SAVINGS TO BE HAD, BUT IT DIDN'T MATERIALIZE.
THERE WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT, SO IT WASN'T EVEN WORTH PURSUING, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE FOUR CONTRACTORS ALL GOING, HEY, YOU SHOULD DO THIS, WE'VE FIGURE WE'D SAVE A LOT OF MONEY, BUT IT WASN'T.
>> ATS IS FOR PURCHASING UNITED ENERGY?
>> THEY ALREADY HAVE. ARE THEY CONTINUE TO OPERATE OUT OF BELLINGHAM?
>> OKAY. YOUR TECH ISSUES ARE GOING TO COME FROM BELLINGHAM? [OVERLAPPING]
>> CORRECT. WE HAD MEETINGS PRIOR BECAUSE ONCE WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRANSITION OWNERSHIP, HE ALREADY OWNS THE CONTRACT FOR THE OTHER SCHOOLS, FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEN WE FIRST FOUND OUT THAT THIS TRANSACTION WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THEN WE ACTUALLY SAT DOWN WITH UEE JUST SAYING, OKAY, WHAT'S THE PLAN HERE? WELL, DAVE'S NOT LEAVING, WHO'S THE OWNER.
GALEN, WHO HAS BEEN ONE OF THE OWNERS IS NOT LEAVING.
DAVE'S PLAN IS, IS TO FACE HIMSELF OUT OVER THE NEXT YEAR.
THEN WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE OTHER FOLKS, YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.
BUT RIGHT NOW THEY'VE COMMUNICATED.
THEY'RE INTENDING TO STAY OPERATING LIKE THEY NORMALLY HAVE.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES OUT WORKING WITH US.
>> IT WAS A BUNCH OF WORK UP HERE SO WE'RE HOPING THAT OBVIOUSLY ATS GAME PLAN IS TO STAY UP HERE HAVING SOME LOCAL PEOPLE, BUT WE'LL SEE.
I'VE NEVER DEALT WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO MANEUVERING THROUGH IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A CHALLENGE, BUT WE GOT THROUGH IT.
>> HOW OFTEN CAN YOU NOT HANDLE THESE ISSUES IN-HOUSE AND YOU NEED AN OUTSIDE TECHNICIAN?
>> DARREN HANDLES A LOT OF THINGS IN HOUSE.
BUT WHEN YOU CAN'T, YOU GOT TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME UP.
THE FIRST PART OF THIS WILL BE MOSTLY THE PROGRAMMING SIDE THAT DARREN DOESN'T DO THAT PIECE.
AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL, SOMETHING WENT WRONG, DARREN HANDLES A LOT OF THAT.
>> IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, ONE OF THE CONCERNS WITH THE SALE WAS ATS NOT HANDLING THE SAME PRODUCT?
>> NOT HANDLING THE SAME FIELD DEVICES? [OVERLAPPING].
>> IT'S THE SAME SOFTWARE INTERFACE.
WHEN THIS PROJECT IS DONE, WHAT DARREN IS GOING TO SEE ON HIS INTERFACE WILL BE IDENTICAL TO WHAT HE WOULD HAVE SEEN EITHER CIRCUMSTANCE.
IT'S ACTUALLY THE ACTUAL DEVICE THAT GETS MOUNTED ON THE FAN OR WHATEVER, THE EXHAUST FAN.
THE ADVICE THAT GETS MOUNTED TO THAT, THE INTERFACE IS BETWEEN THE DEVICE AND THE SOFTWARE.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS.
REALLY, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT PROGRAMMING OF THE DEVICE IS DONE BY ONE GUY FOR THIS BRAND AND ONE GUY FOR THAT BRAND.
BUT ONCE IT'S PROGRAMMED AND IT'S INSTALLED, DARREN WON'T REALLY REALIZE THE DIFFERENCE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
[01:10:08]
>> WE'LL NEED TO HAVE BOTH FORD AND CHEVY PARTS.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, ONE OF THE DIFFERENCES.
>> BUT FOR $400,000 [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE COULDN'T JUSTIFY TRYING TO STAY WITH THE SAME IN FIELD DEVICES WITH THE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BIDS.
>> WELL, AND FRANKLY PUT, I THINK ATS WAS NERVOUS ABOUT LOSING THE DISTRICT AND THEY CAME IN VERY AGGRESSIVE ON THEIR PRICING TO SEE A DELTA 400,000, ITS A THIRD ROUGHLY.
DISTRICT IS REAPING SOME BENEFIT FROM THAT, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO SEE GOING FORWARD.
I THINK WE'VE HAD ENOUGH DISCUSSIONS WITH ATS WHERE I THINK JAMIE WILL GET GOOD SERVICE AND THINGS WILL BE GOOD.
>> HOW LONG IS THAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT OR WORK WARRANTIED? DO YOU KNOW LONG THE WARRANTY [INAUDIBLE]?
>> WELL, THAT WAS ANOTHER BONUS SCORE THAT THEY COULD GET WAS BASICALLY THERE'S A ONE-YEAR WARRANTY.
I INDICATED THAT WHOEVER HAD THE BEST OFFER ON A WARRANTY WOULD GET THE HIGHEST, AND WHOEVER HAD THE BASE WARRANTY WOULD GET ZERO SCORE, AND EVERYBODY WOULD BE FANNED OUT IN-BETWEEN.
THEY ACTUALLY TIED BECAUSE ATS IS PROVIDING A TWO-YEAR WARRANTY ON MATERIALS AND LABOR WHERE LONG SERVICES, THEY PROVIDED A THREE-YEAR PRODUCT ONLY WARRANTY, NOT ON THEIR LABOR.
I SCORED THOSE TWO OF EQUAL WEIGHT AND GAVE THEM BOTH 10.
>> YEAH, THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE THAT WAS EASY.
>> WE [OVERLAPPING] GOT DOUBLE THE WARRANTY, WHAT YOU TYPICALLY GET.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE IT'S GETTING TO KNOW THE DEVICES, ET CETERA.
IF THEY START FAILING OR WHATEVER, IT'S NICE TO HAVE THAT BUFFER AND NOT HAVING TO HAVE IN-HOUSE STAFF TRYING TO JERRY-RIG NEW EQUIPMENT.
THAT'S REALLY GOOD THAT THAT WARRANTY IS THERE.
>> YEAH. THEN QUICKLY ON COUPLE MORE ITEMS TO MENTION ON CRITICAL BUILDING.
THE MILL THICKNESS AND WHAT NOT AND HAD SOME PROBLEMS OUT AT CASTOR ON THE ROOFING.
WE REQUESTED THAT THE CONTRACTOR COME UP AND MEET WITH US AND BRING MANUFACTURERS REPRESENTATIVE WITH HIM.
THEY DECIDED JUST REDO THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT BRINGING IT UP TO MANUFACTURERS' REP. THEN GEOTEST INSPECTED THAT PROCESS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY NOT ONLY PUT ON THEIR REQUIRED MILL THICKNESS THIS TIME, THEY'VE ACTUALLY NOT QUITE DOUBLED IT FOR PROBABLY 30, 40, 50 PERCENT HEAVIER THAN THEY HAD TO GO, SO THAT SEEMED TO HAVE WORKED.
ANYWAYS, AND THEN WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF SOFTER REPAIR WORK.
I WAS JUST MORE OF A [INAUDIBLE] THING.
WE WERE GIVEN ALL THIS EXTERIOR WORK AND WE FELT LIKE IT WOULD GIVE THE WRONG IMPRESSION IF PEOPLE WALKED BY AND SAW HOLES AND SOFFITS AND WHATNOT.
EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T IN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT, JAMIE AND I DECIDED IT WASN'T VERY EXPENSIVE.
IT WAS 13,000 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT I FINISHED TODAY OR YESTERDAY, ONE OF THE TWO.
THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR CRITICAL BUILDINGS.
I'LL TRY AND BURN THROUGH THIS HIGH-SCHOOL REPORT QUICKLY.
THE ATHLETIC WING BLEACHER INSTALLATION THE MAIN GYM STARTED LAST WEEK AND IS CLOSE TO WRAPPING UP.
POWER STILL NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED, BUT RIGHT BEFORE THE MEDIAN, I STOPPED BY AND WALK THROUGH IT AND THE BLEACHERS WERE A 100 PERCENT, SO THAT'S AWESOME.
THE BRICK SEALER APPLICATION WAS COMPLETED LAST WEEK AND THE BRICKS LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
ONE OF THE TYPICAL PROBLEMS YOU HAVE IS THE EXPANSION JOINTS TO GET THOSE TO MATCH THE GROUND JOINTS AND THEY LOOK GREAT, SO WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH THAT.
I THINK HERE IT'S PROBABLY EVERYWHERE.
BUT THE GREEK GRAFFITI PROTECTED THE SEALER.
IT'S NOT AS GREAT AS IT COULD BE.
BUT IT'S STILL NOT THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THEIR PRODUCT TO STRIP THEIR PRODUCT OFF, WHICH THEN RELEASES ALL THE GRAFFITI.
IT DOESN'T JUST MAGICALLY WASH OFF AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK.
[01:15:02]
>> IT'S A PRODUCT TO PROTECT IT, NOT A PRODUCT SO KIDS CAN'T DO IT?
>> IT'S A PRODUCT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO STRIP IT OFF.
>> INSTEAD OF GETTING EMBEDDED IN THE BRICK.
>> IT'S OPPOSED TO PROVIDE A BARRIER BETWEEN THE BRICK, BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO USE A STRIPPER TO STRIP IT OFF.
IT'S NOT A MAGICAL SILICON WHERE IT JUST DRIPS DOWN THE WALL.
[LAUGHTER] BECAUSE OF COURSE, AT CITY HOME WE GOT TAGGED BEFORE WE'RE GOING DOWN AND IT WAS GREAT. IT WAS LOT OF FUN.
[NOISE] THE WALL BOARD IS HUNG IN THE OX GYM.
TAPING AND FINISHING WAS COMPLETED LAST WEEK AND THE AREA IS READY FOR PAINTING THIS WEEK.
I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'VE STARTED THAT OR NOT.
CONCRETE FLOOR, GRINDING AND POLISHES, THEY'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH WRAPPED UP RIGHT NOW.
THEY WERE PULLING THE FLOOR PROTECTION OFF AND THAT'S LOOKING PRETTY NICE, SO PRETTY EXCITING TO WALK THROUGH THERE TONIGHT.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME FOR ME WHEN THE FLOOR PROTECTION WAS GONE.
FINAL CEILING TILES ARE BEING INSTALLED THROUGHOUT THE WING.
PLUMBING FIXTURES ARE NOW FUNCTIONING, THEY WERE PART OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTION LAST WEEK.
FINAL APPROVAL WAS GRANTED BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR STUDENTS TO MOVE IN AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
THE CITY OF FERNDALE CAME THROUGH LAST WEEK FOR A PRE INSPECTION WALK AND HAS GIVEN FINAL DIRECTION ON WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY.
FINAL OCCUPANCY WILL BE RECEIVED THIS WEEK.
WE ACTUALLY RAN INTO A HICCUP WITH THAT ITEM.
YOU'RE ALWAYS ASKING ABOUT PROBLEMS, MARK, BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
>> WE BLAME IT ON YOU BY THE WAY.
>> ONE OF THE ITEMS I'VE MENTIONED THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE COMPLETE WERE THE CEILING CLOUDS.
WE KNEW THAT WOULD BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THE FIRE SPRINKLERS.
WE CONTACTED THE CITY NOT LAST WEEK, BUT THE WEEK BEFORE AND SAID, HEY, WE GOT TO MOVE THE STUDENTS IN, WE HAVE THIS ISSUE, WE NEED YOU TO COME WORK WITH US AND FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
THEN LAST FRIDAY WE GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE CITY SAYING, "WE ARE QUESTIONING THE PLAN." WE WENT INTO ACTION YESTERDAY, WORKING WITH MARCUS, AND THEN TODAY WITH MARK AND DYKEMAN AND METRICS.
THE LATEST WORD WE'VE GOT FROM THE CITY, [NOISE] IS IF WE'VE GOT THIS PLAN, WE HAVE A FIRE PROTECTION PLAN, WE DO X, Y, AND Z.
THEN WE GET BUY-IN FROM THE DISTRICT AND WE GET BUY-IN FROM THE ENGINEERS THEN THEY WOULD ACCEPT THAT.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
JUST BEFORE THE MEETING, I CALLED MARCUS TO SEE IF HE HAD GOT ANY WORD BACK FROM KYLE BEFORE THE MEETING. HE HADN'T HEARD BACK.
HOPEFULLY IN THE MORNING WE ARE IN TOUCH.
I THINK KYLE'S COMING OUT FOR A WALK AGAIN TOMORROW, AND GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE WITH THAT.
[NOISE] ACADEMIC WING AND COMMON, LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION WAS COMPLETED AT LEVEL ONE LAST WEEK AND IT'S GETTING ROLLING AT LEVEL TWO.
THE CULINARY ARTS CLASSROOM IS NOW HAVING THE CABINETS INSTALLED AND THE OTHER FINAL FINISHES WILL START SOON.
MARKER BOARD AND TACKABLE WALL SYSTEMS ARE COMPLETED AT LEVEL ONE AND MAKING THEIR WAY ACROSS LEVEL TWO.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL [INAUDIBLE] AMOUNT IS ONGOING AND MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
FINAL CEILING TILE INSTALLATION STARTED THIS WEEK AT LEVEL ONE.
LAST WEEK, CREWS WERE IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING UP AIR HANDLING UNITS AND WATER PUMPS.
THIS WEEK, THE HYDRONIC HEATING WATER WILL BE ENERGIZED AND TESTING WILL BEGIN.
FINAL FINISHES ARE NOW IN PROGRESS ON ALL THREE LEVELS OF THE ACADEMIC WING.
CTE VILLAGE, ALL THREE BILLINGS, GREENHOUSE, EGG SCIENCE, AQUACULTURE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED STRUCTURES AND ARE READY FOR ROOFING INCITING, WHICH WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.
I NOTICED TODAY THAT ON THE AQUACULTURE BUILDING THE ROOFING WAS DOWN, SO THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.
OLD GYMNASIUM. THE DEBRIS FROM THE OLD GYM HAS NOW BEEN HAULED OFF SITE AND DEMOLITION OF THE OLD ATHLETIC BUILDING HAS BEGUN.
ACTUALLY, THEY ARE WAY AHEAD AND THE LAST FEW BUCKETS ARE BEING SCOOPED INTO TRUCKS WHEN I WAS THERE AN HOUR AGO. SITE WORK.
THE SIDEWALKS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE NEW GYM ARE NOW COMPLETE AND READY TO BE USED BY STUDENTS AND STAFF WHEN SCHOOL STARTS.
THE UNDERGROUND STORMWATER DETENTION SYSTEM, EXCAVATION IS NOW COMPLETE.
ON ONE DAY DURING THE EXCAVATION, 116 TRIPS HAULING DIRT WERE MADE BY DUMP TRUCKS WITH TRAILERS, IN TOTAL, ABOUT 500 TRIPS WERE MADE TO COMPLETE THE ACTIVATION.
THAT WAS A MARK ITEM, SO I THROW IT IN THERE.
[01:20:10]
>> YOU SAID ON A TOUR THAT WE'RE RIGHT ON BUDGET AS FAR AS THE OVER X WAS REQUIRED.
>> WHAT [NOISE] MARCUS AND I DID IS WE CAME UP WITH A STRATEGY HOW TO PROVIDE FOR POTENTIAL OVER X.
WE ANTICIPATED THAT A 100 PERCENT OF ALL OF THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEMS WOULD NEED ALL OF THE DIRT AMENDED ONE FOOT DOWN.
WE PROVIDED IN THE CONTINGENCIES NUMBERS TO PROVIDE FOR THAT.
ON THE EXCAVATION TO THE SOUTH OF THE BUILDING, WE HAD A SMALL AMOUNT, SO WE PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT THERE.
ON THE ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE, IT WAS ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE FOOTPRINT.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE LAST ONE UNDER THE CURRENT DROP-OFF AREA IN THE PARKING LOT.
WE'VE CARRIED THAT IN THE CONTINGENCY TO HAVE MONEY TO DO THAT.
>> ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO RECONCILE THOSE PORTIONS OR JUST KEEP THAT FULL BUCKET UNTIL WE'RE DONE?
WE'LL GET A COST ACCOUNTING FROM THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE, AND SUBMIT THAT AS A PCO OR REVIEW, APPROVE, PAY.
>> PULL THAT MONEY BACK OUT OF.
>> YES. I'M SURE [INAUDIBLE] WANT TO GET PAID FOR IT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SCOPE, IF YOU WILL?
>> IT'S NOT BEEN THAT LONG SINCE THE TOUR, BUT IS THERE ANY UPDATE TO MOVE IN SCHEDULE FOR THE ACADEMIC WING, IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN OVER CHRISTMAS OR IS THAT GOING TO GET PUSHED OUT?
>> THAT'S HAPPENING. [LAUGHTER] WE JUST CAN'T NOT HIT THAT TARGET BECAUSE THAT PUSHES THE WHOLE PROJECT OUT.
WE HAVE TO START TEARING DOWN THE OLD BUILDING TO FINISH THE PROJECT.
IF WE DON'T MOVE IN DECEMBER AND HAVE THE STUDENTS THERE IN JANUARY, WE'RE IN TROUBLE.
JUDGING BY WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T SEE WHY THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
IF IT WERE MY SCHEDULE, I'D PROBABLY BE GOING ON VACATION AGAIN.
>> THE LOGISTIC PART OF THAT IS THAT TEACHERS BOX ALL THEIR STUFF UP AND THEN SOMEBODY MOVES IT OVER THERE.
>> WE'VE STARTED ON AND PLAY AND THAT'S GOING TO START THERE IN NOVEMBER, IF NOT BEFORE.
GETTING A MODEL CLASSROOM OPEN TO WHERE TEACHERS CAN GO IN THERE FOR MAYBE A HALF A DAY AND JUST LEARN, AND THEN PUT THEIR ARMS AROUND IT AND LEARN HOW THE LIGHTS WORK AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
KNOW WHAT THEY CAN MOVE IN TO THEIR NEW CLASSROOM AND THEIR NEW SETTING.
THEN WHEN THEY DO MOVE IN THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE BEHIND WHAT THEY DON'T WANT.
ALL THOSE PLANS ARE BEING FORMULATED RIGHT NOW.
WE'VE GOT SOME ANXIOUS PEOPLE. CHANGE IS HARD.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO SET TOGETHER A REAL GOOD PLAN FOR THEM AND LISTEN TO THEM, AND MAKE IT AN EASY TRANSITION, AS EASY AS WE CAN.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON HIGH-SCHOOL CRITICAL PROJECTS, QUESTIONS? WE'LL MOVE ON TO 4.02, WHICH IS JUST FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD MEETING.
STEVE'S NOT HERE. DON'T KNOW IF MARK HAS ANY INPUT.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THE BOARD SEEMS ENGAGED AND THEY ARE I FEEL LEANING ON US PRETTY HEAVILY FOR THAT ADDED DETAIL AND MARK ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR THE UPDATE ON THE BOND STUFF.
I DO THINK IT'S GOING BE IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO MAKE A POINT TO DO IT QUARTERLY AND NOT GETTING INTO THIS DELAYED SIX-MONTH DEAL JUST BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF STUFF THAT THE BOARD IS GOING OVER AND REVIEWING.
THE BOND SCOPE DOESN'T TAKE A HUGE PORTION OF THEIR TIME EVERY MONTH.
[01:25:07]
I THINK HAVING MYSELF FOR US PRESENTING ON A QUARTERLY BASIS IS HELPFUL FOR THE BOARD TO BE REASSURED THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO SPEND THE ADDITIONAL TIME ON THAT OVERSIGHT THAT THEY MIGHT NORMALLY WANT TO OR NEED TO.BUT THEY ASKED ME QUESTIONS AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD POSITIVE PROCESS QUARTERLY SO I DON'T KNOW IF MARK HAS ANY FURTHER INPUT.
>> THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, THEY CONTINUALLY EXPRESS A DEEP AND SINCERE APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK AND THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT YOU GUYS GO THROUGH.
IT IS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL TO THEM, TO HAVE YOU ALL DIGGING IN AND REALLY GOING THROUGH THE DETAILS AND SCRUTINIZING EVERYTHING, GIVES THEM A LOT OF COMFORT IN THERE.
THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER LEVEL ON THE REVIEW, LIKE RILEY SAID.
THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING THE TIME IN IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
EVERY TIME THEY GET A REPORT OR HEAR THEY ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING, AND I WOULD AGREE, I THINK THAT THOSE QUARTERLY REPORTS ARE EXTREMELY VALUABLE.
>> THE LAST ONE I WAS AT WAS THE ONE YOU GAVE THE REPORT? THEY BASICALLY LEFT US WITH AN ACTION ITEM TO BRING OR TO HELP BRING WHAT?
THERE WASN'T REALLY A CLEAR DIRECTION ON A MOUNT OR IDEAS FOR WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE IF WE KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR TODAY, BUT THAT WAS AN ACTION ITEM THEY LEFT US WITH.
>> YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST MONTH AS WELL.
THAT WAS PART OF THE ALTERNATE FOR ONE OF THE ITEMS WAS THAT ALTERNATE DDC CONTROLS AT VISTA, WHICH NOW THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER FOR, CAN RECONCILE WHAT THAT CAMERA, WHAT THAT VALUE OF THAT IT WAS A MILLION BUCKS, FIVE MILLION BUCKS OR SOMETHING FOR THAT CRITICAL PROJECTS BUCKET, IF YOU WILL.
I THINK NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT NUMBER AND THE NUMBER FOR THE THREE SCHOOLS THAT WERE ON THE LIST.
I THINK WE CAN RECONCILE THAT AND THEN ONE OF THE ITEMS TO BRING TO THE BOARD IS THAT ALTERNATE FOR VISTA.
THEN THERE'S ONE OTHER, MAYBE IT WAS THE WIRELESS SYSTEM THAT'S NOW OFF THE TABLE.
ANYTIME WE'RE DEVIATING FROM WHAT THE LISTED SCOPE WAS, THAT'S THE BOARD.
>> DECISION TO MAKE WHAT TO DO WITH THOSE FUNDS.
JUST A MATTER WHAT THAT RECONCILIATION IS AND IF IT'S THAT DDC CONTROL AT LEAST PRESENTED TO THEM WHETHER THEY.
>> THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT I WOULD SAY WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL BOND PACKAGE, WHAT WAS COMMITTED TO, PROBABLY BEHOOVES US TO TAKE A LITTLE CAUTION OF WEIGHT CLOSER TO THE END BECAUSE I SUSPECT I DO NOT KNOW THIS, BUT I THINK IT AS KEN AND HEIDI GET A LITTLE TIGHTER ON THE PACK BUDGET, I THINK THEY EXPECTED WORK IS GOING TO EXCEED THE FUNDING THAT WAS COMMITTED FOR THAT PROJECT SO IT MAY REQUIRE SOME ADDITIONAL TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE PUBLIC.
BECAUSE IF YOU RECALL, WE'RE PUTTING A LOT MORE MONEY INTO SEISMIC AND SOME OTHER UPGRADES THAT WE DIDN'T INITIALLY PLAN ON.
I THINK THERE MAY BE SOME DISAPPOINTMENT IF WE AREN'T ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE SOUND SYSTEMS OR LIGHTING OR SOME OF THE OTHER UPGRADES PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING THAT WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE.
I DON'T SUSPECT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUNDING FOR IN THE STRICT PACK SCOPE.
THE OTHER PIECE OF THAT IS IN THE BOND RESOLUTION, THE ACTUAL LEGAL RESOLUTION THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS.
THE PROJECTS THAT WERE EARMARKED SPECIFICALLY IN THAT LANGUAGE,
[01:30:05]
IS WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO SPEND THE MONEY ON WITHOUT REDIRECTION OF BOND PROCEEDS.ONE OF THE TASKS THAT I HAVE WRITTEN ON MY LIST IS WHEN WE PUT IN THE BOND RESOLUTION, IF WE PUT IN DDC CONTROLS FOR OUR SCHOOLS THEN VISTA IS AN ALLOWABLE EXPENSE.
IF WE SPECIFICALLY NAMED THE THREE BUILDINGS AND DID NOT NAME VISTA, THEN THAT MAY REQUIRE BOARD ACTION TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT AS A BOND PROJECT.
NOT TO SAY WE COULDN'T DO THAT OUT OF GENERAL FUND, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE BOND PROCEEDS, IT HAS TO BE ALLOWED UNDER THE ACTUAL PASSED RESOLUTION.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT, JUST CONSIDERATIONS I THINK AS WE LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN USE THE EXCESS BOND MONEY FOR.
>> IS THERE ALSO A TIMING ISSUE WITH THOSE FUNDS?
>> HOW SO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? CLARIFY.
WE'RE DOING THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL AND INTERTWINED IN THAT IS OTHER THINGS.
THE TROUBLE IS YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR EXCESS FUNDS ARE TO THE END, BUT IS THERE A DEADLINE? WHERE DOES IT MAKE SENSE? THE HIGH-SCHOOL IS COMPLETE, THE BOND IS DONE.
EXCESS CASH HAS TO BE DEALT WITH IN ANOTHER WAY OR CAN IT BE ALLOCATED PAST THAT POINT? IS THERE A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS IN THE BOND?
>> YEAH. I THINK I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION.
THERE ISN'T A SPECIFIC DEADLINES. [OVERLAPPING].
THE HIGH SCHOOL CAN BE FINISHED.
THE DAY WE FINISH HIGH-SCHOOL ISN'T LIKE YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE MONEY SPENT BY THAT DAY.
>> OKAY. THAT'S ALL I KNOW. THERE ARE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. THAT'S WHERE I WAS.
THERE IS NOT A BIG RUSH IN THOSE FUNDS, IT'S JUST FIGURING OUT WHERE LEGALLY YOU CAN USE THOSE FUNDS.
>> DID YOU LEAVE MORE MONEY IN THE OPERATIONAL BUDGET THAT YOU NORMALLY WOULD LEAVE TO POTENTIALLY HELP WITH SOME OF THESE ISSUES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
>> WE HAD MONEY SET ASIDE FOR SOME CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DISTRICT BACK BEFORE THE BOND PASSED BECAUSE WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME STUFF IF THE BOND DIDN'T PASS AND THEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE MOVING MONEY THAT WE SET ASIDE FOR.
WE DO HAVE SOME CAPITAL PROJECT MONEY THAT JAMIE HAS BEEN WORKING THROUGH SOME PROJECTS THIS SUMMER, AND WE CONTINUE TO DO SO.
THEN WE'VE GOT SOME SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR HIGH-SCHOOL MOVING ITEMS. THE HIGH-SCHOOL MOVING ITEMS IS ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME MONEY THAT WE SET ASIDE.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT MONEY IS ONGOING THAT WE'LL USE AS NEEDED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO ALL THE WORK IN ONE SUMMER.
>> I GUESS TO GO BACK TO THE ACTION THAT LEFT US WITH, HOW ARE WE GOING TO ADDRESS THAT? I REALIZE WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH IT, BUT WE DON'T.
IT WAS ADDRESSED. I RE-ADDRESSED IT IN THE LAST QUARTERLY REPORT.
I THINK WE'RE NEXT MONTH AND THEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT OR HAVE ANOTHER QUARTERLY REPORT IN OCTOBER, I THINK.
MY PLAN WOULD BE TO BRING WHATEVER.
HOPEFULLY, THAT BUDGET IS RECONCILED AND THERE'S A TRAJECTORY, IF YOU WILL, AT THAT POINT, SO RE-UP THE NOTE AND THE PLAN.
I THINK I HAD MENTIONED THE DDC'S CONTROL IN MY QUARTERLY REPORT LAST MONTH AS A POTENTIAL ITEM.
I THINK IT'LL JUST KEEP BEING ON THE REPORT UNTIL.
LIKE MARK SAID, THERE'S NO TIMELINE TO DO THAT, AND MORE THAN LIKELY, LIKE MARK SAID.
COULD BE LATER. WE COULD GET DONE WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND MAYBE THERE'S AN EXCESS MILLION DOLLARS THAT ENDS UP BEING, NOT GOING TO BE WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK AT THE PACK, BUT ON THE ACTUAL NEW SCHOOL AND MAYBE THERE'S A MILLION DOLLARS LEFT IN THE CONTINGENCY BUCKETS THAT CAN GO TOWARDS THE PACK TO FLUSH OUT THAT SCOPE AND THEN THERE IS THAT EXTRA MONEY FOR SOME STUFF.
THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION SAYS, DDC CONTROLS BLANKET.
THAT'S A GREAT PLACE TO USE THAT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE 300 WORD RESOLUTION THAT WE PUT TOGETHER? NO, THERE'S A MUCH LARGER DOCUMENT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT,
[01:35:03]
THAT HAS ALL THE BACKUP INFORMATION.IT'S A LITTLE MORE DETAIL OF THAT.
BASICALLY, IT SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO SPEND THE MONEY ON.
THE SHORT ANSWER IS, ON THE QUARTERLY REPORT, THERE'S A LINE ITEM THAT SAYS, FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS REPORTS AND THAT WAS ON LAST MONTH.
IT WAS FOLLOW UP ON THE EXCESS FUNDS ON CRITICAL PROJECTS.
[OVERLAPPING] JUST CONTINUED TO BE FOLLOWED.
PROBABLY BE ON THERE AGAIN UNTIL THERE'S SOMETHING TO PRESENT.
I ASSUME THERE'LL BE SOMETHING FORMAL TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD BY MARK.
IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS, IT'S GOING TO BE DICTATED LARGELY BY HOW MUCH MONEY IS LEFT OVER.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A 100,000, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A MILLION, THAT'S YOUR OPTIONS ARE GOING TO BE LARGELY DICTATED BY WHAT'S LEFT.
NOBODY ELSE HAS ANYTHING ON THE QUARTERLY REPORT.
ANY OTHER TOUCHED ON IT INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE MEETING, BUT ANY OTHER FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS THAT WENT ON TOURS LAST WEEK? [INAUDIBLE].
YOU WANT AN UPGRADE? IT WASN'T TOO MUCH. TWEET THAT STUFF.
I JUST WANT TO SAY, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, KEN.
YOU DON'T PHOO-PHOO ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS.
YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE YOU'RE IN A HURRY.
YOU JUST DO A GREAT JOB OF GIVING THOSE TOURS AND YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT GO. [LAUGHTER] GRASS IN THE PARKING LOT. NOW YOU GOT TO ASK.
[INAUDIBLE] IT'S NOT IN THE CURRENT SCOPE OF WORK TO FIX THAT.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH A LITTLE BIT OF GRASS VOLUNTARILY GROWING? BECAUSE IT'S THE FRONT YARD OF THE SCHOOL.
WELL, NOW I KNOW WHERE THE EXTRA MONEY IS GOING.
THAT'S ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS THAT [INAUDIBLE] MIDDLE SCHOOL FIELD, ACTUALLY.
[NOISE] BUT IF YOU SAW WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THAT DONE.
ANY OTHER FEEDBACK ON TOURS? NO.
I'M IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY BY TRADE, SO I'M SUPER INTO TOURS.
I THINK THEY'RE HUGELY VALUABLE.
FOR THIS GROUP, I KNOW CORNERSTONE DID ANOTHER VIRTUAL TOUR, WHICH IS GREAT.
IT IS SOON TO BE THE LARGEST BUILDING IN THE TOWN OF FERNDALE.
PEOPLE DRIVE BY AND I'M SURE THEY'RE ALL WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE.
HAVING THE ABILITY TO GO THROUGH IS GREAT AND HAVING CORNERSTONE DO SOME VIRTUAL STUFF; THE BOND UPDATES, ADDING PICTURES, AND WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE.
[01:40:03]
[INAUDIBLE].THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD TO SAY, NO.
[LAUGHTER] WHY WOULD YOU SAY NO TO THAT? [INAUDIBLE].
YOU COULD. DONKEY BASKETBALL RAISED QUITE A BIT OF MONEY.
PETER ACTUALLY BACKED DOWN ON THAT LAST TIME.
I WOULD JUST SAY TO THE DESIGN IS SO COOL.
IT'S JUST ONE THING AFTER THE NEXT.
TAMMY, YOU SAID, YOU BOTH HAD THESE HUGE SMILES ON THEIR FACE BECAUSE IT WAS SO COOL.
IT WAS GREAT TO BE ON A TOUR WITH YOU TOO BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THAT BACKGROUND IN INTERIOR DESIGN.
[LAUGHTER] THAT IS REALLY INSENSITIVE OF YOU.
MAYBE WE CAN DO DONKEY SOCCER ON THE NEW FOOTBALL FIELD.
THAT WOULD BE [OVERLAPPING] THAT'S A DIFFERENT TRUE ANGLE.
[LAUGHTER] OOH, I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT IDEA, DONKEYSOCCERDONKEY.FOOTBALL.
ANY OTHER USEFUL COMMENTS? [LAUGHTER] THANKS, RILEY.
WE'RE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
