>> YEAH, I'M HERE CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> AND I AM HEIDI GIBSON WITH CFG.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THE SPEAKER'S ON THE STREAMING SO THAT RICK AND HEIDI IF YOU JUST WANT TO BE EXTRA LOUD WE CAN HEAR YOU BUT IT'S NOT GETTING THROUGH THE SPEAKERS HERE IN THE ROOM.
>> LET ME SEE IF I CAN TURN IT BACK ON MY END.
>> IF IT'S CONNECTED THROUGH MY COMPUTER WE CAN HAVE HER TAB.

MOVING ON TO THE MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH.
SAME THING, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CLARIFICATIONS, ETC? IF NOT WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE AS WRITTEN.
>> I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN THE CONCEPT OF CHANGING THE WORD OR TERM WISHLIST TO SOMETHING MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLING WHAT THE DISCUSSION WAS.
I FEEL LIKE THE DISCUSSION WAS AROUND COMMUNITY COMMITMENTS AND WHAT WE'VE INTENDED. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE PACK BUDGET DISCUSSION?
I JUST DIDN'T WANT IT TO READ LIKE THE THINGS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY BEING DISCUSSED WERE A WISHLIST.
IT WAS MORE LIKE THESE WERE OUR ORIGINAL COMMITMENTS AND NOW WE'VE GOT TO MODIFY THE COMMITMENT BECAUSE OF SOME STRUCTURAL OR DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> SO I WOULD JUST SAY PROBABLY SWITCH WISHLIST COMPARED TO LIABILITIES FOR ANTICIPATED ITEMS VERSUS WISHLIST ITEMS, I THINK THAT'S REALLY WHERE THERE WAS AN ASSUMPTION OR ANTICIPATION OR EXPECTATION OR COMMITMENT TO A CERTAIN DEGREE OF SOME TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS RATHER THAN THAT WISHLIST ETC. [OVERLAPPING]
>> ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR CORRECTIONS? ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE AGENDA OF THE MINUTES AS MODIFIED.
>> YOU NEED TO ADOPT THE MINUTES AS AMENDED.
>> ANYBODY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT.
THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED AS MODIFIED.
[NOISE] ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON TO SECTION TWO, PUBLIC COMMENTS.
[2. PUBLIC COMMENT]
SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME PHYSICAL PEOPLE HERE TONIGHT, SO THAT'S GREAT, I'M GLAD TO SEE IT, AND IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT,[00:05:02]
FEEL FREE TO STAND UP.JUST FYI, WHEN YOU DO, WE WILL DISCUSS YOUR COMMENTS HERE.
SO ASKING QUESTIONS IF THEY ARISE VERSUS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SCHOOL BOARD OR THEY HAVE JUST A COMMENT AND LEAVE IT AT THAT.
I THINK THERE'S A MIC AND JOE WAS RECORDING, ARE YOU DOING IT NOW? OKAY WE'VE GOT ONE, GOOD.
>> CHECK. MY NAME IS STEVE MINICKEY, I'M HERE MOSTLY JUST TO LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS.
WE'RE NOW GETTING INTO THE PORTION OF THE BOND WHERE MOSTLY AFFECTS MY AREA OF THE BUILDING PACK SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I'VE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT SINCE I'VE BEEN IN ALL THE MEETINGS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN IT STARTED OUT AS FIVE MILLION, THEN WENT TO TWO BILLION.
AND NOW IT'S GONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT.
I WANT TO HEAR IF THERE'S IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE.
AND SO I JUST MOSTLY WANT TO LEARN WHAT'S GOING ON SO I CAN PASS THAT ON TO PEOPLE THAT ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.
>> OKAY. I'M CHRISTIE FOREMAN, THEATER DIRECTOR.
SO I AM THERE MOSTLY AFTER-SCHOOL, BUT WE USE THE WEBINARS THERE QUITE A BIT.
SO I'M JUST CURIOUS, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO TO ANY MEETINGS SO THIS IS MY FIRST ONE.
AND WE WERE JUST CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHAT THE PLANS WERE.
THE MEETING GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF INPUTS IN THE AREAS AND TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE DONE.
AND I WOULD LOVE TO SPEND TIME IN RAISING FUNDS OR TO PERFECTLY WILLING TO GO AROUND LOOKING FOR EXTRA FUNDS IF WE RUN OUT OF FUNDS.
BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE IN MY HEAD OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING AND WHAT WE MIGHT NEED EXTRA FUNDING FOR.
>> JUST A FOLLOWUP THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT PERFORMING ARTS?
>> I'M RACHEL PRINGO, I'M A SIDEKICK.
[LAUGHTER] BASICALLY THE SAME THING.
JUST THINK WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S KNOWN, WHAT'S UNKNOWN AND WHAT MIGHT BE NEEDED.
I PARTICULARLY HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS THAT WE THOUGHT JUST MAY COME UP IN THE COURSE OF THE DISCUSSION TONIGHT.
SO I'M GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME UPFRONT WHEN YOU MIGHT ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS LATER.
ONE OF THE PRIMARY QUESTION FOR ME IS ABOUT THE ROOF.
SO HOPEFULLY IT'S GOING TO COME UP LATER IN THE DISCUSSION.
>> SO IF I CAN BACK UP ONE SECOND, IN YOUR COMMENTS, YOU SAID THERE ARE EXISTING CONCERNS.
THAT YOU HAVE CONCERNS, YES. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU SAID THAT YOUR COMMENTS, THAT YOU HAVE CONCERN OR A PAIR OF CONCERNS.
>> IS THERE GOING TO BE ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF? THIS IS MY FIRST MEETING.
SO AGAIN, MY BIGGEST THING HERE TONIGHT IS TO LEARN THE PROCESS SO FAR THAT'S HAPPENED AND TO KEEP THE PEOPLE UP TO SPEED.
>> SO MOST OF YOUR CONCERNS WERE BASED IN ON THE STATE AS FAR AS FUNDING?
>> OKAY. [NOISE] WELL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR ATTENDING.
WE DON'T GET THAT A LOT OF ATTENDEES AT OUR MEETINGS.
>> IT'S APPRECIATED THAT YOU WANT TO BE INVOLVED.
THERE IS A SPECIFIC PORTION OF TONIGHT'S MEETING WILL BE.
WE HAVE BEEN CIRCLING THE PERFORMING ARTS, AND I BELIEVE WE'LL GET SOME MORE INFORMATION TONIGHT.
HOPEFULLY, IT'S ENOUGH INFORMATION.
IF NOT, WE'RE AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS AFTER THE MEETING.
MIGHT EVEN BE A SITUATION WHERE WE MIGHT ASK IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DURING THAT DISCUSSION IF IT COMES TO IT.
WITH THAT, WE'LL JUST KEEP MOVING DOWN THE LIST.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS PROCEED FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS OVER THE PAST MONTH THEY'D LIKE TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE OR ANSWER HERE 2.02. MOVE ON THERE.
>> I DON'T SEE AN ITEM, BUT I KNOW THAT I'VE RECEIVED SOME COMMUNICATION FROM THE DISTRICT IF I GET IT ON THE RECORD HERE THAT THEY ARE HAVING A GOING AWAY PARTY FOR THE WHOLE MEAN SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 12TH.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO REALLY ELABORATE ON THAT, BUT IT'S JUST GOOD TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS IN OUR RECORD.
[00:10:03]
>> THAT'D BE AVAILABLE AS A FUNDRAISER THAT WILL GET YOU INTO THE BASKETBALL GAME.
>> WE'RE SELLING T-SHIRTS AND STUDENTS DID THE ARTWORK ON IT AND IT WILL BANG, SHORT SLEEVE, LONG SLEEVE, IT'D BE CLAIMED REALLY IN THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP, BUILD OLD-SCHOOL, OLD NAME FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE BASICALLY THE LAST TO OPEN HOUSE, AND JUST GETTING THE BUZZ AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
I THINK WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT AND SO WE'LL BE PUSHING OUT ALL THAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY.
>> MORE FUN UNLESS DEMOLITION FOR FEEDING.
>> I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THAT COME OUT AS WELL.
>> THERE WILL BE EXPLOSIVES INCLUDED WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY DEMOLISHED, RIGHT?
[3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]
>> MOVING ON TO UNFINISHED BUSINESS, COMMUNICATION LOOKS LIKE THERE'S UPDATED DASHBOARD.
LET'S SEE THAT KEEPS BEING LATE EVERY WEEK IN THE BOND UPDATE, SO I THINK THAT'S GREAT.
IF THERE WAS ANY SIGNIFICANCE.
AS OF THIS MONTH, WE'RE JUST SAYING WE'RE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE SECURE VESTIBULE ACCESS CONTROL STUFF EVERYWHERE IN THE DISTRICT, IS THAT CORRECT?
>> NO MORE PITCH, NO BELLINGHAM OR THE LAST TWO LINGERING ITEMS?
>> I THINK THAT'S A GOOD CHECK BOX.
MAYBE THROW OUT THERE THE BOND UPDATE, I KNOW IT'S BEEN FOCUSING ON HIGH SCHOOL, BUT, KNOWING THAT EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT NOW HAS SECURE ACCESS, I THINK IS A GOOD FEATHER IN YOUR CAP, IF YOU WILL.
OTHER THAN THAT, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON OTHER COMMUNICATIONS STUFF? FUND UPDATES, THEY ARE GREAT.
I THINK THE PHASING MAP IS CONTINUALLY PART OF THAT BOND UPDATE AS WELL.
I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY WORKING ON THAT NEXT PHASE, AND TRAFFIC FLOW AND STUFF INTO THE NEW SCHOOL.
HAVING GONE TO MULTIPLE SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN THE MIDST OF CONSTRUCTION, THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE A CRAZY TIME PERIOD WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO FOLLOW PEOPLE IN AND AROUND CONSTRUCTION.
I GUESS MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO HAMMER THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH PUBLIC CONSTANT AS FAR AS WHERE TO GET IN AND AROUND THE NEW SCHOOL.
IF EVERYBODY'S COMING IN GYM SIDE AND OVER, OR IF THERE'S ANY CLOSING OFF ALL ACCESS TO THE OTHER SIDE.
I GUESS THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY OTHER ACCESS BESIDES THE GYM SIDE ONCE YOU COULD GET INTO THE NEW BUILDING. YES, SIR.
>> WELL, WE WILL HAVE A WALKING PATH FROM HOMING AREA IN BETWEEN THE DEMOLITION OF THE OLD SCHOOL AND THE CTE, SO THERE'LL BE A CORRIDOR THERE.
WE'VE SET UP FOR ADA ACCESS TEMPORARILY THAT WOULD COME THROUGH THE CTE BUILDING.
THERE'S A RAMP THERE THAT WE'VE INSTALLED AND THEN CROSS-HATCHING OVER TO THE BUILDING. SORRY, I SHOULD BE TIMING.
AS FAR AS THE FINAL PLAN FOR BUSES, THE DISTRICT IS STILL WORKING ON THAT, THAT'S A WORK IN PROCESS.
THAT'LL BE THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
BUT THERE IS AN ACCESS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
>> FOR THE PRIMARY ENTRY POINT, AND THAT MAIN GYM?
>> I'VE GOT A DIFFERENT TOPIC. ONE THING AND PROBABLY MAYBE I HAVE NOT SEEN IT PREVIOUSLY, ON UPDATES NORMALLY WAS NOTIFICATION ABOUT THESE MEETINGS.
I HAVE NOT NOTICED THAT IN THE MOST RECENT BOND UPDATES.
>> AS WE DID HERE. WE CAN PUT THE BOND THAT PAYS AND GIVING ANY.
[00:15:01]
[BACKGROUND] GOOD JOB.>> NOT REALLY A QUESTION OR A COMMENT, BUT I KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A YEAR AND YOU GUYS TALKED ABOUT IT AS A TEAM.
BUT IS THE INFORMATION GETTING TO THE KIDS IN A WAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT? MEANING THROUGH THEIR CHANNELS HAVE BEEN THE WAY THAT THEY COMMUNICATE? BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST PLAN IN THE WORLD, BUT IF NONE OF THE 1,400 KIDS THAT ACTUALLY GO HERE TO MAKE SOME TIKTOK VIDEOS.
BASICALLY, PROBABLY IT'S A TIKTOK VIDEO AND MAYBE SOME LIVE SNAPSHOTS AND THINGS LIKE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
BUT I MEAN, IT'S A REAL THING.1,400 OF YOUR ACTUAL PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW HOW TO GET WHERE THEY NEED TO GO. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
>> YEAH, WE DO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE WHERE SOME STUDENTS ACTUALLY DO SOME VIDEOS ON THE TRAFFIC FLOW OF TRAFFIC PATTERNS, GET INTO THE SCHOOL, GETTING AROUND SCHOOL WE GOT AN ACCESS TO GET SOME STUDENTS IN THERE TO DO THE COUNTING FROM STUDENT TO STUDENT.
I THINK THEY'LL BE THE BEST MODE OF COMMUNICATION ON THAT.
>> THE ONLY PART OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL DAY ON JANUARY THE 3RD IS TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO THE STUDENTS?
>> YEAH. JANUARY 3RD, AND I'LL BE ABLE TO GET THAT OUT AGAIN.
MOST REALLY STARTED RAMPING THAT UP TO THE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FIRST, OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN GET THE TEACHERS TO GET THE KIDS IN AND EVERYTHING ELSE, SO I'LL START CRANKING OUT NOW.
>> THE PLAN AND JUST SEMESTER BREAK, NOT AFTER WINTER BREAK, RIGHT? THE SWITCH. THAT'S AN AFTER WINTER BREAK.
>> AFTER WINTER BREAK, JANUARY.
>> WE'RE PROBABLY RIGHT THAT THE JANUARY 3RD [OVERLAPPING] WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT RIGHT IN HERE.
THAT'S JANUARY 3RD IS VERTICAL DAY AND IT STOPS SOME OF IT AND KIDS COME BACK ON THE 4TH.
[NOISE] THE DEMO SCHEDULE WE HAD THE CONVERSATION CAN BE DELAYED UNTIL SEMESTER BREAK, AND THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN MEET THE TIMELINE IF THEY DON'T GET THE WHOLE THING STARTED.
>> THEY SECRECY IS JUST FOR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS THOUGH, RIGHT?
>> AND THERE'LL BE A OUTSIDE OPTION FOR THE STUDENTS THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO INTERNET.
SOME CLASSROOMS IN THE WHOLE CTE BUILDING, I THINK IT'S WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING FOR TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON PUBLIC COMMUNICATION? [NOISE] MOVE ON TO 3.02 AND JUST GETS A FEEDBACK FROM THOSE THAT WENT ON THE SIDEWALK LAST WEEK.
>> LIKE THE TREES THAT ARE GOING AROUND THE POSTS AND THE CONCEPT, IT GETS REALLY COOL.
IT'S REALLY COOL TO SEE THE TEACHER.
I KNOW ABOUT IT IS THE OFFICE AREAS PLUS THE ONE-ON-ONE MEETING [NOISE] PEOPLE WITH THE GLASS.
I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW THE PLANNING IS GOING TO TEACH HONESTY OR TO TEACH US HOW TO USE THOSE SPACES AND HOW IT'S GOING WITH THEM, SHARING CLASSROOMS, HOW THAT WHOLE THING IS GOING.
BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE, I MEAN, IT'S OBVIOUSLY COMING TOGETHER FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SPACE IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN THEY CURRENTLY DO.
BUT FACILITY WAS AMAZING. WE'RE EXCITED.
>> I NEED TO GO BACK TO MY NOTES FROM THAT JBL CONSOLE THING.
CAN I REVIEW THAT MERIDIAN PLUS, IT'S WORTH VINTAGE.
SOME PIECES FELT REALLY ENORMOUS AND TRYING TO REMIND OURSELVES IF THE COMMUNITY FEELS THE SAME WAY, HOW THAT CAPACITY BUILT INTO SOME OF THOSE AREAS.
GOING BACK TO THAT JBL ANALYSIS FROM A FEW YEARS AGO AND REVIEWING SOME OF THOSE NOTES BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FEEL ENORMOUS IN SOME AREAS.
[00:20:06]
THE COMMUNITY MAY FEEL THAT TOO, THAT THE CAPACITY IS THERE IN CERTAIN PLACES TO EXPAND.EVEN THOUGH THE STUDENT POPULATION ISN'T THERE RIGHT NOW, THAT MAY BE A PARODY THAT SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET TALKED THROUGH THEN.
IT SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE I'M ALREADY IN CLASS WHEN I WAS IN THERE.
>> I FEEL LIKE A DOLLAR HAS BEEN PUT.
THE DOLLARS THAT IT CAME IN AT THE SCHOOL FEELS BETTER THAN THE DOLLAR NUMBER FOR ME, EXACTLY, YEAH.
>> YEAH. I THINK THERE'S SOME, AS MUCH AS I HAVE MY OWN [NOISE] OPINIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE DESIGN FEATURES.
THERE ARE SOME VERY ECONOMICAL DESIGN FEATURES THAT GOT BUILT INTO THE BUILDING.
THAT WELL, THEY DON'T SCREAM MONEY SAVINGS JUST STACKING THE BATHROOMS WAS A HUGE MINDSET.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME FLOOR PLAN THREE FLOORS UP.
IT WAS A HUGE MONEY SAVING THING.
YES. THERE'S ISSUES WITH LOADING IN THE KITCHEN, BUT DOING THE THREE INCH BUILDING FOR THE GYM AND THE LOCKER ROOM SPACE WASN'T HUGE MONEY SAVING THING.
AS IT GETS CLOSER AND THE FINISHES KEEP COMING IN, MY FEELING IS THAT WE'RE GETTING A GREAT VALUE FOR THE DOLLARS WE SPENT, AS I KEEP TOURING.
THAT'S MY BIG PICTURE TAKEAWAY.
SMALL PICTURE TAKEAWAY, I THINK THE LEARNING COMMONS LIBRARY SPACE THAT BIG, CAN BE END OF THE HALLWAY TRANSITION PIECE BETWEEN THE CORNERS.
I THINK THAT WHOLE SPACE WILL END UP BEING A MASSIVE USED SPACE FOR THE KIDS AND A SPACE THAT ALL THE KIDS WILL COME, WHATEVER DEMOGRAPHIC YOU'RE BELONGING TO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ONE GROUP HANGING OUT IN ONE WING AND THE OTHER END ANOTHER.
I FEEL THAT'S A PLACE WHERE THERE'S ENOUGH SPACE.
THERE'S HIGHER, LOWER, EVERYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME TO THAT SPACE.
I THINK THAT'S A BENEFIT TO THE KIDS.
I THINK IT'S A BENEFIT TO THE FACULTY TO HAVE EVERYBODY IN THAT SPACE.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY THING.
BUT THAT WAS SEEING THAT SPACE PHYSICALLY.
>> CINDY, DID YOU MEAN THAT WHOLE BUILDING SO HUGE OR AREAS OF THE BUILDING?
>> I'VE NOT BEEN INTO CAMERA DOORS FOR QUITE AWHILE, BACK TO YOU CINDY AND INTERPRET WHAT I THINK I HEAR YOU SAYING IS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FLOCK IN THAT HALL, WHY DID YOU SPEND MONEY ON THESE HUGE AREAS AND NOT BUILDING MORE CLASSROOMS? IS THAT MY INTERPRETATION CORRECTLY OR GETTING OUT?
>> I THINK MAYBE SOME OF US THAT LIVED THROUGH THOSE NO VOTES [LAUGHTER] REALLY TRY TO GET IT TO THE YES, ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE CHANNELING SOME OF WHAT THE COST CONSTRAINTS.
I JUST THINK THE DISTRICT WOULD BE SMART TO BE PREPARED FOR SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
I ECHO WHAT RILEY SAID TOO, SOME OF THOSE STAIRS WHERE THE KIDS CAN SIT ON IN THE COMMONS AREA.
HE CAN SIT RIGHT ALONG WITH THE GEN ED KIDS.
THE SAME NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS AS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.
IT FELT LIKE WHEN YOU GOT INTO THE CLASSROOM, IT WASN'T TOO BIG.
IT WAS RIGHT SIZE AS THE SCIENCE CLASSROOMS, [INAUDIBLE] IN INCHES.
THAT WAS LIKE SOMETHING AT WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.
>> YEAH. I THINK YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE A FEW PEOPLE THAT COME IN AND GO.
[00:25:01]
THEY'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THE STUFF AND THINK THAT IT'S GRANDIOSE.I THINK THAT WAS SEVEN INCHES. I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'VE GOT OPINIONS OF ALL BRIDGES, BUT I THINK THERE IS SOME VALUE TO REMEMBERING THAT THOSE LARGE COMMUNAL SPACES ARE BUILT FOR 1,600 SCHOOL CLASSROOMS. [NOISE] I THINK IT'S PROBABLY GOOD TO REFRESH THAT.
TALKING POINTS IS THE WRONG TERM AS THAT FEELS TO ME LIKE TELLING A STORY THAT'S NOT COMPLETELY TRUE.
>> I THINK YOU ARE GROUNDING THE POINTS.
>> IN THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM THE TASK FORCE TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.
THIS JBL ANALYSIS WAS REALLY GOOD AT THE TIME.
>> BUILDINGS HAVE A FUNNY WAY OF LOOKING REALLY ENORMOUS WITHOUT FURNITURE.
ONCE THE FURNITURE GOES IN, THE SPACES WILL SCALE DOWN A LITTLE BIT TOO, RIGHT NOW THEY CAN GO IN MOMENTS.
BUT ONCE YOU PUT TABLES AND CHAIRS IN THEM, YOU'LL START TO NOTICE SCALE AND SPACES AREN'T THAT BIG.
THEY'RE BIG I THINK ENOUGH TO GRANT BIG SPACES BUT THEY WON'T GO IN UNUSUALLY OR SUSPICIOUSLY [INAUDIBLE]
>> I THINK THE OPPOSITE TO THAT OR THE COUNTER ARGUMENT TO SOME OF THOSE OPINIONS IS COME WHEN THOSE KIDS ARE THERE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL SEE THE VALUE.
BECAUSE THEY'LL BE OCCUPYING THE SPACE, HOW IT'S INTENDED TO BE OCCUPIED.
I BELIEVE YOU'LL SEE A DIFFERENT VALUE IN DIFFERENT SPACES.
THEY MAY LOOK BIG BUT THEY WON'T LOOK NEAR AS BIG AS 200 KIDS [LAUGHTER] AT ANY GIVEN TIME ALL OVER THAT PLACE.
>> YEAH. ONE OTHER THING, THIS ISN'T RELATED TO THE [INAUDIBLE] TWO ON AUGUST.
IT WAS 85 DEGREES, JUST MUGGY OUTSIDE AND WE WENT INTO THE SCHOOL WITHOUT THE HVAC RUNNING YET, NO FANS.
IT WAS, OH, I FELT 65 DEGREES.
I JUST DON'T THINK THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN ONLY GET THAT, I HAVEN'T FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE BUILDINGS BEING REMODELED AND THEY'LL DECORATE WITHOUT ANY SYSTEMS EVEN RUNNING YET.
>> ANYBODY ELSE COMMENTS ON THE TOUR SITE VISIT? ANY QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP BUT THEY DIDN'T GET INTO DISCUSSION? OKAY. WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE ARTWORK COMMITTEE UPDATES.
MARK, IF YOU GOT ANYTHING OR WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONTH?
>> YEAH, I GOT NOTHING. I THINK LAST REPORT, SUSANA, OUR CURATOR, HAD A FAMILY MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO RE-COORDINATE SCHEDULES TO THEM.
WE'RE WAITING, PENDING HER SCHEDULE AT THIS POINT.
>> WE WILL KEEP IT ONLY ALL BUSINESS POINT ARTWORK.
>> JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY IS SOME OF THE ARTWORK LARGE SCALE WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO IN THE BUILDING ON THE WALLS.
ISN'T THAT SOME OF THE ORIGINAL THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT OR IS IT NOW MODIFIED TO SMALLER SCALE TYPE STUFF? CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK, BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT ON THE WEEKENDS OR WHENEVER SENSIBLE COUNT ON, IT'S ALMOST TO ME, BE A LITTLE BIT BEHIND.
>> I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, THE FEEDBACK THAT EVERYBODY GAVE HAS NOT CHANGED.
THE ART COMMITTEE PROVIDED HIM WITH A GIVEN INPUT FROM MEMORY, WE GOT IT FROM THE SUSANA WHO HAS BEEN OUT LOOKING FOR ARTWORK.
THE NEXT MEETING IS THE PRESENTATION OF WHAT SHE HAS FOUND TO BRING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY TO SAY, HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION OF THE VOLUME OR SIZE OVER NATURE IN ANY OF IT OTHER THAN I WOULD EXPECT THAT IT WOULD MIRROR WHAT INSTRUCTION WE GAVE.
I DON'T KNOW IF GEORGE AT THIS POINT.
>> WAS THAT GROUP OR THAT, I GUESS COMMITTEE GIVEN AN END DATE UNTIL HAVE SOMETHING COMMITTED AND READY FOR PURCHASE.
>> [OVERLAPPING] INSTALL READY FOR THE FALL OPENING.
IS THE HARDWARE THAT'S BEEN PAID.
[00:30:09]
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON OUR COMMITTEE? WE WILL MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS AND SPENDING.
[4. NEW BUSINESS]
I SEE WE DIDN'T GET A SUMMARY SHEET THIS MONTH.I DON'T KNOW IF HEIDI IF YOU HAVE ANY, YOU JUST HERE FOR QUESTIONS, OR DO YOU HAVE ANY TYPOS? [NOISE]
>> WELL, WE DO HAVE SOME INFORMATION AND I'M TURNING TO MARK BECAUSE I'M NOT QUITE SURE AT WHAT POINT IN THE AGENDA WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT THIS.
>> I BELIEVE WE'RE DOING THAT NOW.
I'M JUST GOING TO LAY A LITTLE PRECURSOR GROUNDWORK THAT HEIDI AND KEN CAN GET INTO THE DETAIL.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING FOR QUITE A WHILE ABOUT, KEVIN DETAIL ON THE PATH.
YOU GUYS BEEN ASKING SOME REALLY GOOD QUESTION ABOUT, WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE PROCESS OF THE BUDGET AND WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THAT AND IN THE BEGINNING NOW.
KEN AND HEIDI AND EVERYBODY ON THE TEAM HAS BEEN SCRUTINIZED IN THE BUDGET PRETTY HARD.
AS WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE END AND MAKE SURE WE CAN CONTINUE TO DELIVER UPON THE COMMITMENTS OF THE BOND.
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF SCRUTINY, A LOT OF TIME IS SPENT RECONCILING AND RE-RECONCILING AND MAKING SURE ALL THE NUMBERS ARE ACCURATE AND EVERYTHING WAS ACCOUNTED FOR.
IN ADDITION, NOT ONLY EXPENSES BUT CONTINGENCIES AND ALL OF THE POSSIBLE REVENUE THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PROJECT TO MAKE SURE WE COULD HONOR THE COMMITMENTS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS THE PERFORMING ARTS.
WE KNOW THAT WE MET IN SHORT ON PERFORMING ARTS.
WE'RE GETTING TO THE POINT CORNERSTONE IS CAUSED IF WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT BUILDING COMING YOU CAN MAKE SOME DECISIONS AND COMMIT TO SOME OF THE WORK.
BUT WE NEEDED TO MAKE REALLY POSITIVE SURE WE HAD THE FUNDING NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO COMMIT TO IT, SO THAT'S THE PROCESS.
I'M GOING TO LET THIS POINT THAT HEIDI AND KEN JUMP IN AND FILL IN THE DETAILS OF WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE THE LAST MEETING.
WELL, I WILL LEAD OFF WITH THIS AND I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT OF NUMBERS AND INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.
SO I'LL JUST DIVE INTO IT AND I'M SURE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME QUESTIONS.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUMMARY REPORT THAT JUST GOT HANDED OUT TO YOU, I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THAT.
THIS JUST GIVES YOU A BUDGET UPDATE OF BOTH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE PACK AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED IS, OF COURSE, THE FACT THAT THE PATH PORTION OF THE PROJECT IS HOW IT WAS STRUCTURED WITH THE BOND IS A COMPLETELY SEPARATE POT OF MONEY.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TWO DIFFERENT AREAS.
IF YOU WILL RECALL, QUITE SOME TIME AGO, WE STARTED OUT WITH 9.15 MILLION IN CONTINGENCY, AND THAT WAS BASED ON 10 PERCENT OF THE ESTIMATED.
A MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CONSTRUCTION COST, OF WHAT WE CALL A MAC, AND THAT WAS BACK INTO THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE.
THAT'S WHERE THAT 9.15 IN ORDER OF CONTINGENCY CAN TRACK.
OF THAT CONTINGENCY, WE DESIGNATED $3 MILLION THAT WE, "GAVE TO CORNERSTONE".
WE DIDN'T ONLY GIVE IT TO THEM, BUT IT WAS UNDER THEIR PURVIEW TO USE FOR OWNER'S CONTINGENCY FOR CONSTRUCTION-RELATED ISSUES.
ALL ALONG, THAT $3 MILLION HAS BEEN TRACKED IN THE CORNERSTONES MONTHLY CMR REPORTS, AND IT WAS PUT IN PLACE AS AN ESTIMATE TO HELP CONTROL COSTS.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FIRST SPREADSHEET SNIP ON THE PAGE, WE HAVE AT THIS POINT 5.19 MILLION OF THAT INITIAL CONTINGENCY REMAINING IN CONTINGENCY.
THIS WALKS THROUGH THE PROJECT BUDGET, AND THESE ARE THE BUDGET NUMBERS THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE.
THE SUMMARY REPORTS, OUR STAFF FUNDING AND 105 MILLION FROM THE BOND FUNDING.
THAT WAS OUR $125 MILLION TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET.
AS MARK MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WE'RE AT THE POINT IN THE PROJECT WHERE WE ARE REALLY GETTING DOWN TO THE END AND CORNERSTONE IS LOOKING AT ALL OF THE ESTIMATED COSTS AND THINGS THAT WERE ANTICIPATED, AND WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME PAST SIX WEEKS OR SO,
[00:35:02]
4-6 WEEKS WITH THE ENTIRE PROJECT TEAM, MAKING SURE THAT WE WERE PRICING AS MANY THINGS THAT WERE LEFT OUT THERE ANTICIPATED COSTS.IT TURNS OUT THAT CORNERSTONE IS ESTIMATING THAT WE WILL NEED AN ADDITIONAL $557,000 IN OWNER CONTINGENCY ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT INITIAL $3 BILLION TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, AS PART OF THE OVERALL FINANCIAL STRATEGY, TO RECALL, THE DISTRICT CHOSE TO SELL BONDS EARLY, AND SO THAT THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL INTEREST EARNINGS.
WE JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT WHAT THAT AMOUNT IS AND THAT GIVES US AN ADDITIONAL $2.2 MILLION IN FUNDS AND ALSO RECEIVED $105,000 WILL BE MADE FROM CASCADE NATURAL GAS.
THAT GIVES US AN EXTRA $2.31 MILLION AVAILABLE FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT.
WITH THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN MIND AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THE NEXT PAGE AND THE NEXT STEP OF THE SPREADSHEET TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THE FUNDS WE'VE SEEN BEFORE, THE SCAP FUNDS, THE BOND FUNDS, THE ABS IN THAT $2.3 MILLION.
THAT GIVES US A TOTAL OF $128 MILLION TO SPEND OUR TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET WITH THE UPDATED CONTINGENCY, INCLUDING THE OVERAGE OF THE $557,000 IN THE OWNER'S CONTINGENCY, BUT THE CORNERSTONE AND IT SHOWS THAT WE WOULD HAVE ESTIMATED AT $3.9 MILLION REMAINING AT THE END OF THE PROJECT.
THAT THEN FLOWS THROUGH INTO THE NEXT SECTION WHEN WE'LL TALKING ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
WE KNOW THAT THE BOND ORIGINALLY SET THAT BUDGET AT $2 MILLION FOR THE PATH PORTION.
THAT $2 MILLION WAS SET EARLY ON AND DID NOT REALIZE AND HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE SEISMIC UPGRADES WOULD BE REQUIRED.
THOSE UPGRADES, AS WE KNOW, ARE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE PROJECT.
OVER $500,000 WORTH OF ACQUIRED SEISMIC UPGRADES.
THAT EAT UP A LOT OF THE BUDGET THAT WE HAD.
WITH THOSE SEISMIC UPGRADES AND THE REQUIRED ALTERNATIVES, MECHANICALS, THE CONTROL SYSTEMS, AND ELECTRICAL, PUSHING THE TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT BUDGET FOR THE PATH UP TO 3.15 MILLION.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE SNIP FROM THE SPREADSHEET HERE, THIS IS HOW THE BUDGET FLOWS DOWN AND SHOWS THAT THE ANTICIPATED PROJECT COST IS 3.15 MILLION FOR THE PATH WHICH IS ABOVE THE INITIAL $2 MILLION THAT WAS ALLOCATED FROM THE BOND FUNDS.
WE KNOW THAT THERE WERE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WE ARE CALLING HERE AT THE BOND PROMISES THAT WOULDN'T BE FULFILLED WITHOUT ADDING ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THAT PATH BUDGET.
AS A PLACEHOLDER, WE'VE ESTIMATED ROUGHLY AN EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS TO ALLOW FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PROJECT.
WITH THAT INITIAL ALLOWANCE, THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL COST ESTIMATE UP TO THE 3.15 MILLION.
IN SUMMARY, THERE'S YET ANOTHER COST THAT WE ARE PUTTING A PLACEHOLDER IN FOR, THE CTE BUILDING DEMOLITION.
WE HAVE A $500,000 PLACEHOLDER JUST FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DEMOLITION, UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT BE ABATEMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, OR ANYTHING THAT WE MIGHT FIND HIDING UNDER THE BUILDING AND IN THE GROUND THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS THERE.
TO SUM THAT ALL UP, IF WE TAKE THAT 3.93 MILLION THAT WAS REMAINING IN THE HIGH SCHOOL REPLACEMENT PROJECT BUDGET, WE WOULD NEED ROUGHLY 2.65 MILLION OF THAT TO COVER THE PATH AND THE CTE BUILDING DEMO.
WITH THAT WOULD LEAVE AN ESTIMATED, AT THE VERY END, 1.3 MILLION REMAINING IN THE PROJECT BUDGET, AND YOU CAN SEE IN THAT SNIPPET, THAT NEXT HINT RIGHT THERE.
JUST SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT ABOUT THESE NUMBERS IS THESE ARE ESTIMATED NUMBERS BASED ON BUDGETED AMOUNTS.
THESE ARE NOT BASED ON THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES.
WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN PARTS OF THE BUDGET THAT WON'T BE SPENT COMPLETELY AND HAVEN'T RELEASED THOSE FUNDS YET, BUT WE'RE ESTIMATING MAYBE EVEN UPWARDS OF $4 -500,000 THAT MIGHT BE HIDING IN THOSE POTS OF MONEY THAT WON'T BE ALLOCATED AND PROBABLY NOT EXPANDED.
BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE'RE KEEPING THEM WHERE THEY ARE, NOT TO RELEASE THEM YET, BUT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING ELSE TO KEEP IN MIND.
I'M SURE YOU PROBABLY HAVE QUESTIONS [LAUGHTER] TAKING A LOOK AT THIS.
IN THAT $4-500,000 YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT ARE
[00:40:03]
WE TALKING ABOUT DEMOLITION ISSUES AND OTHER DIGGING ISSUES? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE? WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IS THESE NUMBERS ARE BASED ON OUR BUDGETS.WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN CATEGORIES THAT WE'RE NOT LIKELY TO SPEND 100 PERCENT OF THAT BUDGETED AMOUNT.
IT'S JUST SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BUDGET OF AREAS THAT WE KNOW WE WON'T BE SPENDING THE FULL BUDGET AMOUNT.
AT SOME POINT AND THEN WE CAN RELEASE THOSE FUNDS WITHIN EACH OF THOSE BUDGETS THAT AREN'T SPENT INTO THE GENERALIZED CONTINGENCY.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. THAT WE'RE HOLDING ONTO THOSE SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE UNFORESEEN.
IT'S BETTER TO HAVE IT NOT NEED IT THEN WE CAN RELEASE IT AND SPEND ABOUT OTHER STUFF VERSUS ALL OF A SUDDEN OOPS WE FOUND THE UNDERGROUND OR WHATEVER HAVE A PROBLEM.
THAT IS WITH THE CTE BUILDING SPECIFICALLY.
I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY THAT ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT'S CALLED OUT FOR IN HERE AS THE 500, BUT I BELIEVE SHE WAS MENTIONING ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT IS BUILT INTO THE OTHER LINE ITEMS IN THE BUDGET. CORRECT KEN? CORRECT. SORRY. GO AHEAD.
IS THE 3.5 MILLION OWNER CONTINGENCY, IS THAT ALREADY SPENT OR IS IT POSSIBLE WE COULD SEE SOME OF THAT COMEBACK?
>> POSSIBLE I BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THAT IS BASED ON ESTIMATES AND KEN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG WE COULD POTENTIAL SEE SOME OF THAT BACK BUT I KNOW THAT THOSE ESTIMATES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY TIGHTLY DONE.
>> THAT'S CORRECT AND SO IF YOU RECALL WE HAD A CONVERSATION AT ONE POINT WHERE THE REAL CONTINGENCY WE HELD FOR FIVE MILLION DOLLARS BUT WE ARTIFICIALLY SET A LOAD THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO JUST ESTABLISH THE TONE THAT WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF HOW WE'RE SPENDING THE MONEY, SO WE'VE EXCEEDED THAT ORIGINAL THREE MILLION BUT ORIGINALLY WE HAD THE FIVE MILLION JUST ENTER BROADCAST TO EVERYBODY.
PEOPLE THINK WE HAVE A BUNCH OF EXTRA MONEY THAN THEY STARTED ASKING FOR MORE MONEY.
IF YOU RECALL WE TALKED ABOUT THE ORIGINAL CONTINGENCY WAS OVER FIVE MILLION WHERE RIGHT NOW ABOUT THREE-AND-A-HALF BILLION READING ABOUT ONE-AND-A-HALF MILLION IN THAT PURSE, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AT THIS POINT, WE'RE TRYING TO PULL EVERYTHING EXTRA ALL THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY WHAT THAT IS PUT ALL THE CARDS ON THE TABLE AND SAY OKAY HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD ON THE PARK AND WHEN DO WE DO THAT? WE'RE GOING TO NEED AN INCREMENTAL STEPS WHERE THE FIRST STEP WAS TO MAKE THE PROJECT WHOLE REGARDING THE ORIGINAL SIZE AND UPGRADE AND THEN THE ALTERNATIVES THAT BID THE JOB IN THE BEGINNING.
WE'VE COMMITTED TO MOST OF THOSE TOP ALTERNATIVES AT THIS POINT.
A LOT OF THEM BEGINNING COMMITTED TO AS SIGNAGE AND THERE'S SOME EXTERIOR SIGNAGE, DIFFERENT THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE LONG LEAD TIMES ASSOCIATED SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS RELEASING ALL THE ALTERNATIVES FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT THAT IF WE WANT TO GET IT IN TIME FOR NEXT SUMMER WE HAVE TO ORDER IT NOW.
OUR FIRST STEP IS TO GET EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE HAS TO BE ORDERED AND SOON, GET IT COMING AND THAT'S PRIMARILY MOST OF THE ALTERNATIVES.
WHEN YOU TAKE THAT ALTERNATIVE THAN THE SIGNAGE WHICH WAS AT 60,000-63,000 DOLLARS, LUMP ALL THOSE THINGS TOGETHER AND THAT BRINGS US UP TO THAT 3.2 MILLION DOLLARS 3.2, I DID 3.1.
>> 315 OKAY. ANYWAY, SO THAT WOULD BRING US TO THAT 315 AND THEN WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS GET THROUGH THE BUILDING DEMOLITION AND THE ABATEMENT AND DIGGING MORE DIRT TO SEE HOW MUCH OF THAT ADDITIONAL MONEY NOW CAN BE REDIRECTED TO ADDITIONAL ITEMS IN THE PARK THAT FOLKS WOULD LIKE US TO DO.
BUT RIGHT NOW WERE STILL BE IN A HOLDING PATTERN UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THOSE HIGH RISK ITEMS TO MAKE THOSE FINAL DECISION.
>> JUST FOLLOW UP QUESTION ON THAT 3152 HOW CURRENT ARE THOSE IN PRICES?
>> I THINK MOST OF THEM ARE PRETTY CURRENT, WE WENT BACK THROUGH THE CONTRACTOR THAT I'M JUST FORGETTING NOW IS AND NEITHER WAS I THINK ONE MARKET THAT YOU STILL NEED TO DO SUMMARY PRICING ON I RECALL ON.
WE WENT BACK THROUGH CHECK WITH THE CONTRACTORS AND SAID THAT THESE NUMBERS DON'T GET IT AND MOST DON'T ADD SO I JUST HAPPENING THAT NUMBER IS [INAUDIBLE].
>> THERE WAS 20 ODD ULTIMATE ITEMS IF I REMEMBER RIGHT IN THE INITIAL BID PACKAGE FOR THE PARK?
>> YEAH RIGHT NOW IT'S A FAIRLY A LOT OF THOSE WERE
[00:45:03]
REDUNDANT ITEMS FOR THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING ONE CONTRACTOR VERSUS THE OTHER IN WHICH ONE HAD PROPRIETARY EQUIPMENT VERSUS THE OTHER SO A LOT OF THOSE WERE REDUNDANT AND SO THAT TO THIS LIST WAS OFF.THE FIRST ITEM WAS THE SIZE OF UPGRADING OVER THE ORIGINAL ALLOWANCE AND THAT WAS 500 AND SOMETHING THOUSAND THAT I WAS ALLUDING TO.
THE PARK HAUL, 680 IS ASSIGNED AN INCH AND SO ON FOR 63,204 THAT'S THE ONE THAT WE PUT OUR EYES FOR NOW JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE TIME TO SEE ON THAT THEN THERE'S ALL SIX VM1 PARK MECHANICAL UPGRADES WHICH ARE PLACED.
SOME OF THE CONTROL AND CONTROL WIRING TO GO ALONG WITH ALTERNATE 6B PARK MECHANICAL UPGRADES WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIGGER AMOUNT OF HITS AND THAT'S OVER 500,000 AS FOR NEW NEW HVAC EQUIPMENT FOR THE BUILDING MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND THEN THERE'S THE ASSOCIATED WORK ON ALTERNATE 6C THE PARK ELECTRICAL THAT DEALS A LOT WITH THE MECHANICAL WITHIN A LITTLE BIT FIRE ALARM.
IT'S NOT A COMPLETE FIRE ALARM REPLACEMENT IT JUST CERTAIN UPGRADING OR UPDATES AND THEN TYING IN THE ORIGINAL AND THEN THERE WERE SOME MONEY.
IN TODAY'S WORLD WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIREARMS WALKIE TALKIE WORKS IN THE BUILDING CODE REQUIRY SO IT'S THE PNS SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTED THE PNS SYSTEM.
ANYWAY SO WE HAVE A PLACEHOLDER IN THERE FOR THAT WHICH MIGHT BE COLD JANUARY REQUIREMENT THAT BELONG TO WHAT WE'RE DOING AND SO THAT BRINGS US UP TO THAT 3.15 MILLION NUMBERED WITH THOSE THINGS INCLUDED.
THEN BEYOND THAT WOULD BE THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SOUND SYSTEM SOME THINGS THAT WEREN'T IN THE ORIGINAL BOND RESOLUTION BUT AS A TEAM WE FEEL WE NEED TO ADDRESS THEM THERE'S BEEN SOME WATER AND CHOOSING ISSUES IN THE AUDITORIUM.
WE FEEL IT'S A RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO TO FIX THE WATER INTRUSION PROBLEM BEFORE WE EVEN DO SOMETHING ELSE AND SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW WE'LL WORK THROUGH THE ORIGINAL BOND RESOLUTION LIST WHICH IS A FAIRLY SHORT LIST AND THEN THERE WAS A BOND TASK-FORCE LIST WHICH WASN'T IN THE BOND RESOLUTION BUT THEY WERE BASICALLY IDEAS.
THEN THERE WERE OTHER ITEMS THAT JUST INTERNALLY WE'VE DISCUSSED THERE A TEAM IS THAT TRACKING THOSE ITEMS NOW AS WE GO TO CAPTURE WHAT THE DIFFERENT DISCUSSIONS WERE.
>> THERE ON THE WEBSITE THERE'S A LIST OF ABOUT 11 ITEMS. GROUNDWATER INTRUSION, REPLACE NOUNS IN A CERTAIN PLACE, GENITAL STAGE, LIGHTING BASED CURTAIN SYSTEM REPAIR GROWTH, REPLACE H PARK REFERS TO ART ROOMS THAT'S OBVIOUSLY OUR EXTERIOR UPGRADED RESURFACE FLOOR ON STAGE, ADD SPRINKLER SYSTEM, TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES AND ALL THE CLASSROOMS. THAT'S NOT IN THE ORIGINAL [OVERLAPPING]
>> LET ME JUMPING IN BRIAN AND SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT LISTS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T CONFUSE.
THERE'S THE ORIGINAL BOND RESOLUTION AND THAT'S THE LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT SAYS THIS IS A BOND AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING IN PARK ONE AND IN ADDITION TO THAT THERE WAS A SEPARATE EFFORT FROM THE BOND TASKFORCE WHICH AT THE LIST THAT YOU JUST READ IN THE BOND TASK-FORCE LIST UNTIL THAT'S CAUTIOUSLY NOT TO CONFUSE THAT WITH THE ORIGINAL BOND RESOLUTION WHICH IS [OVERLAPPING].
>> BUT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILD
>> THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE SHOULD'VE BEEN BUILT FROM THE TASKFORCE LANGUAGE THAT'S THE PROCESS AND WHEN [OVERLAPPING] IT WAS DONE.
>> TO INCLUDE ALL OF THAT I THINK THAT WAS OUR INTEREST ON THE TASKFORCE.
>> IF THE TASKFORCE WORK WAS DONE FIRST AND THEN THE RESOLUTION WAS WRITTEN.
>> IF YOU REMEMBER THOUGH WHILE WE WERE GETTING DATA ON THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THE TASKFORCE AND PUTTING THE CONCLUSION ON IT WE KEPT THE PARK WORK AT TWO MILLION DOLLARS SO THAT LIST I BELIEVE MR. MURPHY ACTUALLY PRESENTED TO US AT THE TASK FORCE MEETING THAT'S MORE THAN TWO MILLION DOLLARS WORTH WORK SO NOT ALL OF THAT GOT PUT INTO THE SPECIFICALLY INTO THE BOND RESOLUTION LANGUAGE.
THE LANGUAGE IS A LITTLE MORE SIMPLIFIED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO PUT IN A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF THAT WE WOULDN'T END UP ACTUALLY WE [OVERLAPPING].
>> YEAH SO THOSE TWO DON'T LINE UP.
BUT THAT'S WHERE IT KEN IS TALKING ABOUT THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT LISTS POINT.
[00:50:04]
THERE IS THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE TO DO BECAUSE EITHER THE BUILDING NEEDS A MECHANICAL, THE ROOF ISSUE, WATER INTRUSION, THE SEISMIC AND THEN THE BOND RESOLUTION ACTUALLY CALLS FOR UPGRADING TO THE SOUND OF GREAT DELIGHT SO WE HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE RESOLUTION AND THEN THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO IF FUNDING PERMITS WHICH IS SOME OTHER THINGS ON THAT LIST THAT BRIAN WAS READING FROM THE TASK FORCE.>> THAT LIST ACTUALLY DOES, THIS IT WAS WRITTEN IN 2018.
>> 17 MAYBE IT DID SERVICE BASICALLY YOU GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE AND SET IT UP TO TWO MILLION BETTER.
>> WE KNOW NOT TO THE ESTIMATES THAT CAME OUT OF THE TASK FORCE WORK AND NOT FROM THE TASK FORCE BUT FROM THE INFORMATION THAT WE WERE PROVIDING THE NUMBERS WERE REALLY LOW.
WHEN WE DID THE COST ESTIMATE FOR THE ACTUAL BUILDING OF THE SCHOOL COMPARED TO WHAT WE WERE USING AS THE NUMBER FROM THE TASK FORCE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT 20 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT TO START OUT SO THAT NUMBER IT MAY HAVE SAID TWO MILLION AND THE TIME BUT THAT WAS NOT A GOOD NUMBER.
>> BASICALLY FROM FOR ME JUST TO PUT IT IN A NUTSHELL AND JUST TO PUT OUR KEY CARDS ON THE TABLE THERE WAS THE ORIGINAL TWO MILLION AT THIS POINT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO FIND THE THREE MILLION AND REALLY IT'S A GAIN IN HOUSEHOLD AND TO TRY AND HOLD ONTO ANOTHER MILLION BUCKS AND MEET THAT CLOSE TO THE FORMULA MATTERS BUT THAT LAST MILLION BUCKS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE JUST DON'T KNOW AND CAN'T COMMIT TO IT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO TURN ON BUILDING OUT AND WE HAVE TO DIG THE DIRT AND SO BUT IF WE CAN PUT FOUR MILLION TO THE PARK THAT WOULD BE OUR DESIRED AND THAT'S OUR GOAL, THAT'S CORE DRIVING TOWARDS THAT WE DON'T WANT TO OVER-PROMISE AND THEN UNDERPERFORM SO FOR NOW I WOULD SAY THAT WE'RE DRIVING TOWARDS THAT THREE MILLION.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH DIRT [INAUDIBLE] AND WERE GOING DIGGING DIRT AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE IF THAT EXTRA 500-1 MILLION COME TO FRUITION BUT RESPONSIVELY WE CAN'T COMMIT TO THAT.
>> CAN I GET SOME CLARIFICATION REAL QUICK? I NEED TO YOU SAY THAT TOTAL 3.152 MILLION CORRECT? ON PAGE TWO.
>> PAGE THREE LISTED AT 2.15688 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE PARK?
>> THAT'S THE TOTAL ADDITIONAL NEEDED.
>> THE 3.15 IS THE INTEREST BARE BONDS, BUT THE MINIMUM REQUIRED BY THE RESOLUTION, AND THEN IT WOULD BE THE ADDITIONAL 1.25 IF WE GOT ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT WAS DESIRED DURING THE BOND TASK FORCE, IS THAT CORRECT? YOU NEED ONLY $2.15 MILLION TO MAKE A PACK.
THE POINT IN WAS GUARANTEED IN THE BOND.
>> THEN WHY DOES IT SAY 2.15 ON PAGE 3?
>> THAT'S WHAT THE ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVES AND THE ADDITIONAL PROMISES, AS I'M READING IT, MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE ADDITIONAL CURTAIN STAGE FLUORINE.
>> RIGHT. YOU NEED $2.152 MILLION TO MEET THE BOND REQUIREMENTS.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE FAIREST REASON.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. YOUR NUMBERS SWITCHES OFF A MILLION DOLLARS.
WHAT'S THERE WAS ON PAGE 2, PAGE 3, AND TOTALLY YOU NEED ON THE PACK?
>> I HADN'T REVIEW THAT ONE, IT'S THEIR DOCUMENT.
>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE, LET ME SEE IF I CAN CLARIFY THIS.
IF WE LOOK ON THE PAGE 2, IT'S THE 3.152 MILLION FOR THE PACT PROJECT BUDGET.
WE KNOW THAT WE ALREADY HAVE $2 MILLION FROM THE BOND.
WE KNOW THAT MAKES US $1.15 MILLION MORE THAN WHAT THE BONDS SUPPLIES, WHICH REPRESENTS THIS 1.152 ON PAGE 3 OF THE ADDITIONAL MONEY REQUIRED FOR THE OPTIONS.
THEN IF WE ADD IN THAT ADDITIONAL MILLION DOLLARS ALLOWANCES FOR THE FIRM PROMISES,
[00:55:04]
THAT MEANS THAT IT WOULD NEED THE ADDITIONAL 2.15 MILLION ABOVE THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS PROVIDED BY THE BOND TO FUND.>> THAT WOULD COVER EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE ORIGINALLY QUARTERLY BUDGETED LIST OF THE BOND TASK FORCE DID.
>> WELL, THAT'S VERY SUBJECTIVE BECAUSE WHAT IS [NOISE] A SAILING SYSTEM.
I CAN SPEND 70 GRAND AND I CAN SPEND 150.
RIGHT NOW, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE NUMBERS, WE PLUG CERTAIN NUMBERS.
FOR SOUND SYSTEM, WE'RE SHOWING 150 GRAND.
THAT'S A GUESS. WE CAN GET SOME HARD PRICING THAT WAS MORE 110, BUT CAN IT COME FROM THE STAGE CONSULTANT, THEATER CONSULTANTS.
IN FAIRNESS TO THE PROCESS, WE'D WANT IT TO GO THROUGH THAT AS OPPOSED TO JUST RELYING ON A CONTRACTOR WHO IS SAYING YOU SHOULD DO THESE THINGS ON YOUR THEATER. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> [NOISE] WE PLUGGED THAT NUMBER.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND SOME OF THEM OR MORE OF THEM DEPENDING ON HOW CREATIVE WE ARE AND WHAT WE ACTUALLY WANT EACH ONE OF THOSE THINGS TO LOOK LIKE.
ONE MEASURE THAT WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN, WHICH WAS GREAT.
TURNS OUT THAT THE [NOISE] HOUSE LIGHTING IN AUDITORIUM AND THE REST OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE ALREADY ALL OF THEM ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE LEDS, AND SO JAMIE HAS ALREADY AGREED TO TAKE THAT ON WITH HIS OWN IN-HOUSE STAFF, WHICH IS GOING TO SAVE HUGE QUANTITY THAT WE CAN REDIRECT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
NOW IS HOW DO WE GET CREATIVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW FAR WE CAN MEET THAT MONEY SPEND AND IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES TO SPEND THE MONEY ON.
THAT'S THE DISCUSSION WE'RE GOING TO NEED HAVE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS AS WE GET THROUGH THAT CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF TEARING DOWN THE WHOLE BUILDING AND DIGGING THE DIRT AND SEE HOW MUCH RISK IS STILL OUT THERE.
WE DO HAVE SOME THINGS BUILT IN FOR CERTAIN MATTERS.
WE HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY FOR SOME AGREEMENT.
SOMETHING THAT CAN GO UP IN COST.
WE OF COURSE HAVE SOME SUB-GRADED ISSUE WITH THE EDS SYSTEM WHICH WE'VE PROVIDED SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR.
THE DISCUSSION WE NEED TO BE GOING FORWARD, IS HERE IS THE LIST, HERE IS OUR PRIORITIES, HERE IS HOW MUCH WE HAVE LEFT, AND THIS IS WHAT EACH ONE OF THE PRIORITIES IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, A SCOPE-WISE THAT IS HOW MUCH WE DO IDENTIFY EACH ONE. IS THAT?
>> YEAH. I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL FOR ME ANYWAY.
JUST LIKE WE HAD THE LIST OF ALTERNATIVES AS FAR AS THE AUXILIARY GYM, THE AQUACULTURE, X SCIENCE, AND THE GREENHOUSE, THOSE ARE ALL ARTS AND ALTERNATIVES IN A SPECIFIC ORDER.
IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL TO ME TO SEE THE BUDGETED FOR ITEMS IN THE PACK CURRENTLY IN THE LIST OF ALTERNATIVES IN ORDER OF WHAT WE WOULD PICK OFF.
>> OPEN ON MY SCREEN, BUT I'M NOT READY TO SHARE YET, BUT I'M LOOKING AT EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED.
I HAVE EVERYTHING LISTED OUT, THE ORIGINAL WORD ALTERNATES, AND THEN ALL OF THE THINGS AS WERE DISCUSSED IN THE DIFFERENT, EITHER THE BOND RESOLUTION, THE BOND TASK FORCE, AND WHERE THOSE ARE SEEING PRESENTLY IN OR OUT OF THE BUDGET.
I AM NOT READY TO SHARE IT YET.
BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SHARE DOWN THE ROAD.
IT IS A PRIORITY LIST THAT SHOWS THE ASSOCIATED DOLLARS THAT ARE UP HERE MARKED FROM THOSE PRESENT.
>> YOU SAID A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY.
WE HAVE THAT SAME CONVERSATION, BUT WE NEED TO GATHER SOME MORE INFORMATION.
WE NEED SOME BETTER PRICING ON SOME OF THE ITEMS BECAUSE LIKE KEVIN SAID, THE LIGHTING COULD COST $75,750, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR PRIORITY IS.
WE ALSO NEED TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM STAFF AND SOME OTHER FOLKS ON THAT PRIORITY LIST OF ITEMS THAT WOULD GO INTO THAT, WHAT ORDER THEY WOULD SORT OUT IN.
ONE IS THAT THE STARTING POINT, WE VERY LOOSELY ASSIGN THEM PRIORITIES TO ALLOW THE DESIGN TEAM TO START WORKING ON SOME ITEMS THAT MIGHT BE LONG LEAD ITEMS, AND ONE IS ATTACHED TO THE NECK.
[01:00:02]
WE VERY LOOSELY PUT THEM IN A PRIORITY.WE KNOW THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE, BUT HE WISHES TO GIVE US SOME TERMINAL DIRECTION TO GO.
WHAT TO PUT THE DESIGN TEAM, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THERE, WHAT THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT FIRST, AND THEN BASED UPON THAT, WE CAN GET REAL PRICING. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
>> CAN I ASK A QUESTION? [NOISE] WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT POOLS, WE HAVE THE [INAUDIBLE] WHILE ON TASK FORCE, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME OF THE ITEMS INSTEAD ARE IN THE BOND, THEY WERE PROMISED THAT WILL HELP TO BUILD.
SOME OF THOSE ITEMS OVERLAPPED INTO ONE TASK FORCE, CORRECT?
>> THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE POOLS AND MY QUESTION IS IF THEY'RE ALREADY COMMITTED IN THE BOND, WHY DON'T WE TAKE THOSE ITEMS OUT OF THE TASK FORCE, MOVE THEM ON TO THE LIST THAT IS ALREADY EXISTING ON PROMISES? THAT SHORTENS THAT ON TASK FORCE LIST SO IT DOESN'T LOOK AND THEN THAT SEPARATES THE MONEY AND THAT'S THE WAY TO UNDERSTAND.
>> YEAH. THAT'S THE WAY I'M SAVING THAT ON THE SPREADSHEET HERE.
I'VE GOT A COLOR CODED SYSTEM THAT GIVES THEM A LAUNDRY LIST OF BOND RESOLUTION IN THE LAUNDRY LIST OF THE BOND TASK FORCE.
THEN I DROPPED THEM COLOR-CODED AS WE'RE EMPLOYING THE NAMES, BUT WE CAN SEE THIS ITEM.
>> YES. THIS ITEM IS FOUNDED ON BOTH LISTS AND THIS PACK IS OVER HERE ON THE LEFT ON THE BUDGET SPREADSHEET.
>> I THINK THAT CLARIFIES THE MONEY VALUE OF EACH ONE.
[OVERLAPPING] YOU DON'T WANT TO GET CONFUSED AS TO THE BOND TASK FORCE.
WE'RE GOING TO SPENT THE TWO MILLION HERE AND THEN OVER HERE WE'VE GOT THE 3.15 MILLION PROMPTS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING THAT'S ALL.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, I MEAN, WE BUILT ARTIFICIAL NUMBERS IN THE BEGINNING TO GIVE OURSELVES SOME LENIENCY.
NOW, WE GET CRUNCHING NUMBERS.
WE'RE GOING TO GET SPECIFIC ON THE NUMBERS AND THEN WE DRILL IT DOWN.
I THINK THAT'LL BE A HELPFUL TOOL TO DRILL DOWN THE REAL NUMBERS.
>> YEAH. THAT'S THE WAY I'VE SET IT OUT HERE.
WE HAVE A SINGULAR REPRESENTATION OF EACH [INAUDIBLE] IN FACT, I HAVE THREE LISTS.
I'VE GOT THE EXTRA LIST, JUST THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.
THAT WOULD BE GOOD THINGS TO DO IF WE CAN AFFORD IT.
THINGS LIKE FIRE SPRINKLERS WOULD BE GREAT TO CREATE A NEW FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM.
RECENTLY, WE'VE DETERMINED THAT IT WON'T BE CODE REQUIRED TO BUILDING THIS OKAY THE WAY IT IS.
THAT SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT BUT LIKELY WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
YOU HAVE ALL THREE LISTS SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH THE BUDGET.
>> BY THE WAY IS THAT A DRY OR A WET SYSTEM?
>>OKAY. [LAUGHTER] I HAD TO ASK.
ARE WE COMMITTED TO DOING THE THINGS IN THE BOND THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR ARE WE LIMITED BY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE HAVE?
>> IF WE HAVE THOSE THINGS IN THE PACK THAT EXCEED OUR CURRENT FUNDING, ARE WE STILL COMMITTED TO THOSE THINGS THAT WERE IN THE BOND EVEN IF THEY EXCEED OUR FUNDING?
>> CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG HERE, IN CATEGORY, BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE BOND RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE NOT COMMITTED TO FUND WITHIN THE CURRENT BUDGET AS WE PRESENTED IT.
>> EXCEPT FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM.
>> NO. WE'VE GOT MONEY IN THERE FOR THE SOUND.
THAT'S AGAIN JUST TO BE CLEAR.
>> THE BUDGET HAS PRESENTED THE EXTRA FUNDING.
>> YES. THE 3.1 DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SOUND SYSTEM.
>> IT'S ABOUT THE MEDIA TOP PRIORITY FOR ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE SEE IN OTHER AREAS.
>> HOLD ON. [OVERLAPPING] YOU HESITATED WITH THAT.
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THAT 3.1 MILLION?
>> I THOUGHT THE EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS HAD SOUND AND LIGHTING.
>> THE EXTRA MILLION DOLLARS DOES HAVE SOUND AND LIGHTING.
>> NO, AND WE'VE SAID IT DOES NOT, THE 3.1 DOES NOT.
>> SO NOW WE'RE UP TO 4.1 MILLION ON THE BACK, NOT THE 3.1 THAT THEY WANTED VERSUS THE 2.1 THEY SAID THERE IS THERE.
WHAT NUMBERS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT, 2.1, 3.1, AND NOW 4.1?
>> WELL, ACTUALLY EARLIER, I DIDN'T SAY THAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR A FOUR MILLION DOLLAR TARGET AND THAT PRESENTLY WE'RE AFTER THREE AND WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS FOUR.
[01:05:01]
>> THE 4.1, THE FOUR ROUND NUMBERS WOULD INCLUDE EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE SOUND SYSTEM?
>> EVERYTHING IS VERY SUBJECTIVE, SO [LAUGHTER] I'M NOT GOING TO COMMIT TO EVERYTHING THAT [OVERLAPPING].
>> I CAN TELL YOU WHAT MY HIGHEST PRIORITIES ARE.
JUST LOOKING ON RESOLUTION WOULD BE THE SOUND SYSTEM WOULD BE RIGHT UP AT THE TOP OF OUR LIST.
JUST BEYOND THE GROUNDWATER AND CHOOSING HERE INTRUSION, WE'LL BE IRRESPONSIBLE TO DO THOSE THINGS BEFORE WE FIX THE FLOODING BUILDING CONDITION.
ADDITIONALLY, WE ALSO HAVE MAYBE A HARDWARE FOR THE DISABLED FOLKS THAT ARE USING THE BUILDING WHICH WE CURRENTLY HAVE A STUDENT THERE.
WE'VE ALREADY DONE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TEMPORARY MEASURES OVER THIS LAST SUMMER BUT WE ARE CONSIDERING, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO BRING THAT BUILDING INTO CURRENT COMPLIANCE WITH ADA, WHICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC [INAUDIBLE].
BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT SOUND SYSTEM, LIGHTING, WE CERTAINLY NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT ADA AND DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR OTHER REASONS AND THOSE THINGS WOULD BE BEYOND THAT 3.15 MILLION.
>> I THINK THIS IS A GOOD FIRST STEP AND I THINK THIS GOT TO FLUSH OUT SOME OTHER STUFF.
>> I DO HAVE TWO BIG HIGHER-LEVEL QUESTIONS.
BEING ABLE TO JUST ROUNDING OFF NUMBERS.
I'M GOING TO GO INTO THE $3,934,000 NUMBER, WHICH IS THE ANTICIPATED FUNDING REMAINING AT THAT PROJECT.
>> THIS IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO AVOID.
>> WE'VE BEEN WAITING TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS THOUGH.
IS [OVERLAPPING] THAT NUMBER OR THAT BALANCE.
ARE YOU GUYS COMFORTABLE WITH ANTICIPATING THAT THAT BALANCE IS A FAIRLY CONSERVATIVE NUMBER AT THIS POINT? I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE THE GOAL AND THE MINUS AT THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS TO STAY CONSERVATIVE, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT.
SO WE ARE FAIRLY COMFORTABLE OF OWNING THAT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.
HOPEFUL RANGE OF BALANCE AT THE END OF HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.
>> I THINK IT'S FAIRLY CONSERVATIVE, OREN, THAT WE RAN INTO SOME VERY UNEXPECTED CONDITIONS.
>> THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT AND GET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS, AND KNOW IF THAT NUMBER IS REAL OR NOT.
>> JUST LIKE TODAY WE STARTED THE DAY BEFORE THE TRACK AREA DOWN AT THE NORTH END OF THE FIELD AND THERE'S SOME PRETTY DUTY CLAIM AND MIGHT BE THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF REMEDIATION THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED FOR THAT DUTY CLAIM BUT WE CAN PUT IT IN THE TRACK OF A DUTY CLAIM, FOR AN OBVIOUS REASON.
SO YES, IT'S A CONSERVATIVE NUMBER BUT WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER BEFORE WE'RE OUT OF OUR RISK.
>> YEAH. IT'S A CONSERVATIVE, IT'S NOT A MINIMUM.
>> SO IT COULD GO DOWN AND THAT'S FINE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT'S FINE. I JUST WENT BACK, IT COULD GO UP.
>> OR LIKELIHOOD GOING UP IS NOT NEAR AS MUCH AS IT GOING DOWN.
>> WELL, [OVERLAPPING] AN EXAMPLE, IF WE GET THROUGH OUR PRICING EXERCISE AND THE CMR, AND THOSE BOND AMOUNTS ARE HIGHER THAN THE ACTUAL PRICING.
IT CAN GO DOWN IN THAT BUCKET.
IF WE GET THROUGH THE ABATEMENT AND WE DO APPROVE THE ORIGINAL ABATEMENT CONTRACT, AND THAT WILL RELEASE AN EXTRA FUNDS THAT COULD MAKE THAT NUMBER ALSO GO UP.
BUT TO BE RESPONSIBLE WE HAVE TO ACT LIKE THOSE THINGS DON'T EXIST RIGHT NOW.
>> LIKELY WITH DEMO, WE'RE GOING TO SEE [OVERLAPPING] SOME STUFF, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DEMOING OLD MAIL.
WE GOT [OVERLAPPING] THE CAFETERIA.
>> YOU HAVE BUCKETS IN THE WRONG?
>> IN WRONG VALUES RIGHT NOW, ANTICIPATING THAT SOME OF THAT IS HAPPENING.
>> IT'S NOT IN THE WRONG, BUT WE HAVE LINEMAN AND CONTINGENCY COVERING THEM.
YOU HOLD SOMETHING LIKE THAT SEPARATE SO IT DOESN'T GET CO-MINGLED WITH OTHER THINGS.
>> BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE JUST DEDICATED TO JUST THAT ITEM BECAUSE IT'S THAT WHICH WE ARE ASKING.
>> HAVE YOU DONE ANY STUDIES SO FAR, [INAUDIBLE] AS FAR AS ABATEMENT [INAUDIBLE].
[01:10:01]
>> YEAH, FULL SURVEY HAS BEEN CONDUCTED, WE HAVE FOUR 800 PAGE REPORT BUT THERE'S A LAW THAT CONCEAL THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY DON'T TEAR OFF THE WALLS TO SEE WHAT'S IN THERE.
SO IF THE WALLS ARE ALL FILLED WITH VERMICULITE HAS ASBESTOS AND IN TODAY'S WORLD, ALL IS TREATED AS ASBESTOS.
SO THAT'S A NEW [INAUDIBLE] INDUSTRY TO PAY.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE, ARE THEY QUALIFIED ABATEMENT PEOPLE OR YOU HAVE TO CONTRACT?
>> NO, THAT'S ALL THROUGH GENERAL CORNERSTONE.
>> THEY'VE MADE THE CONTRACT ABATEMENT?
>> CORNERSTONES NOW THEY CAN CONTRACT.
>> YEAH, IT'S A SUBCONTRACT BUT TO YOUR POINT, THEY'VE DONE SOME REASONABLY ORGANIZED ASSESSMENTS.
SO THE RISK IS RELATIVELY LOW TO MODERATE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU WEREN'T ANTICIPATING.
>> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FOR THAT. [OVERLAPPING]
>> BUT WE HAVE TUNNELS UNDER THE BUILDING.
>> I HAD NO ACCESS AT THE TIME OF THE SURVEY.
SO AGAIN, ANY CONCEALED ITEM THAT CAN HAVE READILY ACCESSIBLE DURING THEIR FIELD SURVEY COULD POTENTIALLY BE AN EXTRA COST.
SO I WOULDN'T SAY WE HAVE A LOW-RISK, I'D SAY WE HAVE MODERATE RISK AND WITH THE TUNNELS NOBODY EVEN REALLY KNOWS HOW BIG, HOW LONG, HOW MUCH ASBESTOS IS IN THERE, IF THERE'S ANY ASBESTOS IN THEM.
BECAUSE THEY'RE SEALED UP AND THERE IS NO ACCESS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT WAS WHEN I THINK ABOUT THAT RISK.
THEY TESTED INSTALLATION, THEY TESTED COATINGS, THEY TESTED CERTAIN ASPECTS OF IT THAT YES, IT MAY GROW IN THE QUANTITY OF INSTALLATION, BUT IT'S LIKELY TO NOT BE A WHOLE NEW ITEM, SO IT'S VERY MODERATE RISK AND THAT MAYBE THERE'S MORE INSTALLATION OR MORE OF WHATEVER A, B, OR C BUT IT'S NOT LIKELY GOING TO BE SOMETHING ALL NEW.
SO THE SURVEY IS GOOD, THIS IS HAVING A SURVEY GIVES YOU A LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE.
>> YEAH, BUT WHAT YOU CAN SAY IS THAT THE SURVEY CAN'T GO INTO CLOSED AREAS, RIGHT?
>> NO, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> THERE COULD BE SOME SURPRISES AS IT WOULD BE, IT WAS IN THE GYM.
WE HAVE SURVEYS ON THE GYM THAT THERE WAS A WALL AS WE HAD TO STOP FOR A WEEK BECAUSE THERE WAS A WALL THAT WASN'T ON ANY OF OUR SURVEYS INTERNALLY.
THAT WAS 19, PROBABLY WHEN THE NEW EDITION CAME ON IN '70S OR WHATEVER IT WAS, THAT THERE WAS AN OLD WALL THAT GOT BURIED THAT HAD ASBESTOS IN IT AND THAT WASN'T ON OUR NAME, SO THE LIKELIHOOD OF FINDING STUFF LIKE THAT AND THEY TOLD ME AND THAT'S WHY WE GOT TO BE CONSERVATIVE.
>> BACK TO RILEY'S CONFIDENCE IN THE 3.9 MILLION.
IT WOULD SEEM LIKE BY JANUARY, FEBRUARY.
HOW DOES THE TIMING GO TO THEN HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN THE PATH NUMBERS? IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE AT THE POINT NOW WE CAN'T DISCUSS THIS UNTIL SOME MORE KNOWINGS HAPPEN.
>> I'M GOING TO BE THE TOPIC EVERY MONTH, [OVERLAPPING]
>> THIS IS LIKE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO WITH IT.
>> I GUESS THE POINT OF ME ASKING THAT QUESTION WAS TO SAY, WE'RE FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THE BALANCE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN ALL THE DEBT SETTLES, WE FEEL OKAY WITH THAT $4 MILLION NUMBER.
MIGHT BE TWO, MIGHT BE ONE, MIGHT BE FIVE, MIGHT BE SIX, WHATEVER.
THERE'S A COMFORT AROUND THAT $4 MILLION, AND THAT $4 MILLION BALANCE ALLOWS THE ADDITIONAL 2.1 ON TOP OF THE TWO MILLION THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED TO DO WHAT THE VOTERS APPROVED TO DO IN THE PACK.
THAT WAS MY VERY LONG WAY OF GETTING TO THIS SHORT STORY.
[LAUGHTER] I GUESS WE TOOK A DETOUR.
>> BUT THAT WAS THE BULK OF MY QUESTION IS IF THAT FOUR MILLION NUMBER IS A NUMBER WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.
[01:15:02]
WE WOULD STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT IN SOME OF IF NOT ALL HOPEFULLY, THE VODCAST WORKS NICELY, IF YOU WILL, AND MAYBE OTHER ITEMS THAT AREN'T ON EITHER ONE OF THE LISTS.THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD BEFORE WE MOVE ON BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY NEED TO MOVE ON.
THE TWO OTHER CONTINGENCY BUCKETS, CMDC RISK AND UNAWARDED.
YOU GUYS ARE ASSUMING THAT THOSE ARE GOING TO BE EXHAUSTED AT THIS RATE?
>> WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY'RE NOT FULLY EXHAUSTED AND THEN THOSE BECOME ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THAT BALANCE.
>> YOU MEAN LEFTOVER GCC AND RISK CONTINGENCY OR THE NSS BUCKET SO THE NSS FINES ARE HEALTHY RIGHT NOW SO THAT FEELS GOOD.
THAT'S A POTENTIAL AREA, BUT I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT WE WOULD HAVE MUCH LEFT IN THAT BUCKET AND I DON'T ANTICIPATE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH LESS LEFT IN THE GCC AND NSS BUCKET AS WELL.
A LOT OF EXPENSES WE HAD WAS A LOT AUTHORIZED OVERTIME TO RECOUP WHAT WE LOST THROUGH THE LAST WINTER AND FLOODING AND STUFF.
>> AGAIN, OPERATING CONSERVATIVELY ASSUMING THAT THOSE BUCKETS ARE EXHAUSTED BUT, IF WE GET $100,000 ON LOAN WOULD BE GOOD.
>> I SPECIFICALLY WENT THROUGH THAT WITH CORNERSTONE.
CORNERSTONE AT TIMES IS GIVEN BACK DECENT AMOUNTS OF MONEY, BUT THAT WAS ALWAYS THROUGH THAT RISK CONTINGENCY OR THE NSS.
I FELT IT IMPORTANT TO TALK THAT THROUGH WITH THEM SINCE THAT HAS OCCURRED ON OTHER PROJECTS, THEY WILL ANTICIPATE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON HIS JOB.
>> IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT THE GOLDEN EAGLE ACADEMY IS GOING TO STAY IN THE PACK FOR NOW?
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK THAT TOO.
>> I BELIEVE THEY'RE PLANNING ON MOVING THEM INTO MAIN BUILDING.
>> WE WERE GOING TO KEEP THAT BUILDING FOR 5-6 MORE YEARS TO TRY TO GET STATE MATCH OUT OF THAT BUILDING.
>> THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SHED MORE LIGHT ON THAT.
THE WAY WE EXPLORED THAT IT WAS NOT PANNING OUT IN OUR FAVOR.
I KNOW TEXTS LOOKED INTO THAT QUITE A BIT AND PRETTY EXTENSIVELY, IT WAS NOT LOOKING LIKE A VIABLE OPTION.
>> THERE'S 120 STUDENTS IN THE VIRTUAL ACADEMY AND GOLDEN EAGLE.
I WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE'S THAT MANY STUDENTS, IT'S ALMOST 10% OF THE POPULATION AND YOU THINK MOVING THEM INTO THE MAIN CAMPUS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR THOSE STUDENTS?
>> VIRTUAL STUDENTS ARE [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEY ARE NOT THERE BUT THE GOLDEN EAGLE.
>> YEAH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY ACTUALLY TAKE CLASSES LIKE A REGULAR CLASS, TO GO TO OUR CLASS OR LIVE AND THEN THEY ALTERNATE BACK AND FORTH.
SO IT'S VERY EASY TO INTEGRATE THEM IN.
>> YOU MAY ALSO JUST STAY CONFUSED AS I DID.
THE LAST TIME WE HEARD THE CTE WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR THAT ACADEMY BECAUSE THOSE KIDS WANTED THEIR OWN SPACE AWAY FROM GENERAL POPULATION.
NOW YOU'RE TELLING US TO KNOW THE GENERAL POPULATION IS FINE AND YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL US ON THE IDEA OF USING THE CTE BUILDING FOR THAT.
AM I WRONG ON THAT SUMMARY OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS?
>> I THINK IT CHANGED OR SOMETHING.
>> WELL, THEY DID DIDN'T SAY THE CTE BUILDING IS NOT INHABITABLE, I BELIEVE, RIGHT?
>> LAST YEAR, IN FACT, TOMORROW, [OVERLAPPING] SO LAST YEAR WHEN THAT BUILDING WAS FLOODED AND WE WENT IN TO LOOK AT THE REPAIR WORK, WE REALIZED THAT IT WAS IN CONSIDERABLY WORSE SHAPE THAN THE BAD SHAPE WE KNEW IT WAS IN AND IT BECAME [OVERLAPPING] VERY CLEAR IT WAS NOT WORTH IT TO SAVE IT OR CONTINUE TO USE IT.
>> OKAY AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE USING IN THE PACK.
I GUESS MY CONFUSION WAS THE SELLING POINT THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT FACILITY FOR THOSE KIDS VERSUS THE GENERAL POPULATION.
THOUGH WAS THE PATH FOR THE CTE AND DIFFERENT THINGS AND MORE OF A SELLING POINT QUESTION BECAUSE THE ACTUAL [OVERLAPPING] CONVERSATION ABOUT THEM, THAT GROUP WANTING A SEPARATE SPACE.
[01:20:02]
IT WAS MORE ABOUT GIVING THEM A SPACE THAT'S OF EQUAL CALIBER AS THE REST OF THE SCHOOL.>> NOT GIVING THEM LIKE A SECOND TIER OF SPACE.
IT WASN'T NECESSARILY ABOUT THEM NOT WANTING TO BE WITH THE REST OF THE KIDS.
>> OUR PREVIOUS PRINCIPAL SOLD US IN THE IDEA, I THINK OF THEM BEING IN A DIFFERENT SPACE.
SORRY, IT'S MORE OF THINGS WE'VE BEEN TOLD OR SOLD ON OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AND THEN IT JUST SEEMS A LITTLE CONTRADICTORY VERSUS THE ACTUAL LOGISTICAL PART OF IT, IT'S ALL.
>> ONE THING AT A TIME, THE PREFERENCE EXPRESSED BY THE HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION WAS THEY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A SPACE FOR THAT PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY HAD A SPACE IN THE PACK THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE THE CTE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.
WE BROUGHT THAT FORWARD SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? YOU SAYS AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE IT A DECENT SPACE FOR THEM AND IT WAS A SECOND TIER EXPERIENCE.
WHEN THE FLOODING TOOK PLACE WE REALIZED WE COULDN'T MAKE IT ANYTHING BUT PROBABLY THE THIRD TIER AND OPTED TO GO DIFFERENT WAYS.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO GENERAL, SO THEY WON'T BE IN THE PARK THEY WILL BE IN THE GENERAL POPULATION.
>> SINCE YOU DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE CTE BUILDING UNDER THE TEARDOWN.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU DIDN'T TAKE ANY INSURANCE CLAIM? THERE WAS NO INSURANCE CLAIM ON THAT?
>> OH, THERE WAS HUGE INSURANCE TO FIX THE BUILDING AND MAKING IT HAPPEN.
>> THERE WAS $1 MILLION OF INSURANCE MONEY ON MAKING THAT BUILDING FUNCTIONAL FOR THE REMAINING TIME THAT WE HAD.
>> PART OF HANGING ONTO IT TOO, WAS I MEAN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT INTO IT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
I MEAN, WHAT WE FIXED WITH THE INSURANCE MONEY WITH THE FLOODING DIDN'T FIX A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE ONGOING AND LIKE MARK SAID WHEN WE WALKED THROUGH THERE AFTER THE FLOOD AND YOU LOOKED AT ALL THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE, PROBABLY NOT A GREAT USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS TO KEEP THAT BUILDING GOING.
I MEAN I'LL START WITH THE ROOF.
WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF ISSUES IN THERE WITH THE ROOF.
THAT ROOF IS GOING TO BE PRETTY DARN EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.
SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SPENDING TO TRY TO UPGRADE IT ENOUGH TO LIVE IN IT FOR A FEW YEARS.
YOU'RE SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO GET IT UPGRADED.
>> SO THAT MEANS YOU DID NOT INVEST INSURANCE MONEY BACK IN THAT BUILDING SUCH AS ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR OTHER USES?
>> WE HAD TO SPEND THE INSURANCE MONEY TO GET IT SAFE TO INHABIT.
>> SO ALL THE INSURANCE MONEY WAS USED BASICALLY TO STABILIZE AND DRY IT OUT AND KEEPING IT.
>> EXACTLY, AND TAKE OUT ALL THE WET DRYWALL, TAKE OUT ALL THE FLOORING, YOU GET IT.
SO WE CHOSE SOME THINGS LIKE LEAVING THE FLOORS CONCRETE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPEND MONEY ON REPLACING THE FLOORING THAT WAS IN THERE WITH THE VCG.
>> ONE OF THE HIDDEN BENEFITS IN THAT WAS WE ACTUALLY DID MOST OF THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT.
>> AS PART OF THAT REPAIR WORK WE WON'T HAVE TO DO IT, IT'S PART OF THE DEMO.
>> IN THEORY ONE DAY WHEN THE POPULATION GROWS BEYOND 1,600 STUDENTS, THERE'S A NICE PLOT BEHIND THE BUILDING THAT WAS WITH THE CTE TO BE IN MORE OPENING [INAUDIBLE].
>> TO TAG ONTO THAT, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PLANNING WENT INTO WHAT THOSE BUILDINGS MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN FUTURE, WHERE THEY WOULD GO AND ACCORDINGLY, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO LIKE WATER METER WAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED WHERE WHEN A CONFLICT WITH THE BUILDING LAYOUT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT NOW, IT'S ALL JUST HIGH IN THE SKY.
BUT WE HAVE DONE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PLANNING AND JUST TRY AND BE RESPONSIBLE WITH THAT POTENTIAL FUTURE FACTORS.
>> I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE EXHAUSTED OUR ALLOTMENT OF PACK DISCUSSION.
IT'LL BE AN ONGOING DISCUSSION.
BEING THAT WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE, IS THERE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE? OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S STUFF THAT WE [NOISE] STILL NEED TO GET WORK THROUGH.
BUT DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
[01:25:03]
>> I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE DISCUSSION.
I'VE ENJOYED HEARING WHAT EVERYBODY HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT AND I THOUGHT A LOT OF GOOD QUESTIONS WERE ASKED.
I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE SEISMIC PART OF IT THAT TOOK UP SO MUCH OF THE MONEY.
I WATCHED THE RETROFIT HAPPEN THE SUMMER AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE AND TAKEN CARE OF.
BUT TO SEE THAT IT NEEDS MORE IS DISAPPOINTING [NOISE] BUT UNDERSTANDABLE, AND HOPING GOING FORWARD, WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT UP SOMEHOW, BUT THANK YOU ALL.
>> IT WAS DISAPPOINTING FOR US TOO.
>> IT TURNED OUT IT WAS FOR REPAIRING ON THE RETROFITTING MACHINE.
>> MY ONE QUESTION WOULD BE, AS THE THINGS WE'VE FORWARDED SPECIFIC START TO BE ADDRESSED [NOISE] BY THE CURRENT SYSTEM, LIGHTING SYSTEM, THINGS LIKE THAT.
WILL THOSE OF US WHO'VE USED THE BUILDING BE ASKED WHAT WE NEED?
>> I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD IN TWO RECENT PERFORMANCES.
YOU GUYS ARE TOP-NOTCH, FANTASTIC.
IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN A PROFESSIONAL SHOW, SO PRETTY COOL.
>> ALL RIGHT, SHOULD WE MOVE ON? NEXT ITEM IS CASH FLOW.
[NOISE] IT'S LIKE WE'RE STILL TRENDING BEHIND A LITTLE BIT, THE PROJECTION WHICH WAS GOOD FROM AN INTROSPECTIVE.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS ON THAT FRONT? [BACKGROUND] WE MOVE ON TO THE COST MANAGEMENT REPORT, WE COVERED IT IN LARGE SCALE WITH THE PACK DISCUSSION.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SPECIFIC LINE ITEMS THEY WANT TO DISCUSS.
I DID FEEL LIKE WE SET IT IN A LITTLE BIT INTERTWINED WITH THE SPENDING PACK BUDGET DISCUSSION.
>> I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THAT.
JUST THE ACCOUNTING. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I JUST WASN'T SURE, ON PAGE 27, THERE'S A LITTLE TINY BABY DEPARTMENT OF LNI FOR $580.
IT JUST SEEMS ODD AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS FOR.
[NOISE] THEN ON PAGE 28, I WASN'T SURE, CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT, THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT OF CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT ON THESE.
THAT JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A NON-CAPITAL ITEM.
IS THAT USUALLY WHERE YOU PUT IT? [OVERLAPPING] THE CUSTODIAL EQUIPMENT?
>> I BELIEVE THOSE WERE THE BIG FOUR SCRUBBERS AND THE BIG HEAVY [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE LNI I BELIEVE WAS A PERMITTING FEE FOR THE ELEVATOR OR [OVERLAPPING] SOME COMMITTEE RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT?
>> DID YOU THINK IT WAS A FINE? [OVERLAPPING]
>> NO. I WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS.
>> USUALLY THE [LAUGHTER] CONTRACTORS HAVE TO PAY THE FINES.
YEAH. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT GET FINED. [LAUGHTER]
>> JUST LOOKING AT THE DYKEMAN AND THE CORNERSTONE, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE BRACE OF ARCHITECTS [LAUGHTER] THESE DAYS. BUT [OVERLAPPING]
>> AT SOME POINT THOUGH, IN HINDSIGHT, A YEAR AFTER THE PROJECT'S DONE, I'D LIKE TO KNOW SOME VALUE TO DOING THE GCCM PROCESS OVER THE TRADITIONAL BID OF DESIGN BILL.
IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO, EVEN JUST A PERCENTAGE, LIKE A BALLPARK, HOW MUCH WE'VE SAVED ON THE GCCM.
>> I WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT, IT'S GETTING THE PROJECT DONE AS PROMISED VERSUS NOT COMPLETING IT.
>> IT'S BEEN THAT BIG A DIFFERENCE.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT WE WOULD JUST HAVE A HUGE DISCUSSION ABOUT COSTS, AND THEN CHANGES AND I BET YOU THAT NUMBER, AND THE ARCHITECT JUST DESIGNED THE BUILDING AND IT'S SHIFTED OUT.
BUT THE NUMBER, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY,
[01:30:03]
THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE PAID IN CHANGES, I BET YOU IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DOUBLE.>> YOU'D BE GETTING A WORSE BUILDING, IN MY OPINION, FROM A CONTRACTOR [OVERLAPPING] PERSPECTIVE.
>> I'M TRUSTING YOU [OVERLAPPING] BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THAT NUMBER. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN, [OVERLAPPING] WE STARTED OUT AT 20 MILLION AND ABOVE.
IF WE HADN'T HAD THE GCCM PROCESS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOT TO EVEN.
>> I THINK, TO YOUR POINT, [INAUDIBLE], I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD EXERCISE AT THE END OF THE PROJECT, TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND WALK THROUGH THE DECISION POINTS.
BECAUSE JIM'S RIGHT, OUR INITIAL ESTIMATE, WE WERE $20 MILLION IN THE HOLE.
THE CORNERSTONE COMING OUT OF THE WORD WAS THE ONE THAT SAID, HEY, IF YOU SITE THE BUILDING HERE INSTEAD OF THERE, IT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU A MILLION OR MORE.
IF YOU GO [OVERLAPPING] WITH A PRE-ENGINEERING METAL BUILDING [OVERLAPPING] FOR THE GYM AND THE CTE BUILDING, IT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU A COUPLE OF MILLION DOLLARS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THEY WERE THE DRIVER BEHIND SOME REALLY BIG DECISIONS UPFRONT THAT BROUGHT US BACK WITHIN BUDGET.
>> ON A TRADITIONAL DESIGN-BID-BUILD, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY.
>> THAT COMMUNICATION WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND HIM COLLABORATING WITH THE ARCHITECT IN THE ENGINEERING SIDE VERSUS CONFRONTATION WITH THE ARCHITECT IN THE ENGINEERING SIDE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE TRADITIONAL DESIGN-BID BUILDERS.
>> GENERALLY SPEAKING, IN MY EXPERIENCE, CAN BE WAY MORE CONFRONTATIONAL THAN A DESIGN-BUILD OR PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD OR GCCM.
>> I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME BEING INVOLVED IN IT, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY A SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD NOT DO IT THIS WAY.
[BACKGROUND] I CAN'T IMAGINE IT.
>> WELL, I CAN. [LAUGHTER] I WOULD BE BLOWN AWAY TO KNOW, BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE OUT FOR BID UNTIL THE PLANS WERE ALL THE WAY DOWN.
[BACKGROUND] WHICH MEANS WE WOULD HAVE GONE ON FOR BID UNTIL JULY, AUGUST, WAY PAST ESCALATION.
YOUR BIDS WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN 25 PERCENT HIGHER, AT LEAST.
>> YES. WE'D ALL BE SITTING HERE AND I WOULD DREAD COMING TO THESE MEETINGS, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.
>> WE HAVE TWO FLOORS, WE JUST LEFT THE THIRD FLOOR OFF. [LAUGHTER]
>> I WOULD LOVE JUST TO DO IT IN CROSS-EXERCISE.
I'D LOVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CROSS-EXERCISE AGAIN.
>> BUT I BET YOU IT'S OVER $10 MILLION PUSHING $20 MILLION SAVED.
>> IT'S THAT UNDER 20 MILLION WHERE YOU START TO SEE THE DIMINISHED VALUE.
IT'S THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE UNDER 20 MILLION WHERE THE VALUE IS GREATLY DIMINISHED.
>> BECAUSE IF YOU PAY MORE FOR ESSENTIALLY OVERHEAD COSTS.
>> ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE COST MANAGEMENT STUFF OR EXPENDITURES? ALL I CAN DO IS, DO THIS THING THEN.
>> I WAS JUST WONDERING, SINCE WE'RE THROUGH WITH ALL THE BUDGET STUFF, CAN HEIDI JUMP OFF AND SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY?
>> YES. THANK YOU, HEIDI. APPRECIATE IT.
>> NICE TO SEE EVERYBODY. IT'S BEEN A WHILE. GOODNIGHT.
>> ARE YOU READY FOR THE REPORT?
>> IN THE AUXILIARY GYM, KITCHEN, AND COMMONS AREA, OVER THE LAST MONTH THE OXYGEN WAS COMPLETELY RETURNED OVER TO THE SCHOOL FOR USE AS ONLY VOLLEYBALL GAMES AND PE CLASSES ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE GYM.
[NOISE] THE KITCHEN AREA HAS SEEN A LOT OF PROGRESS OVER THE LAST MONTH, RESTRUCTURED TO CARRY THE KITCHEN, CEILING GRID, PIPES, AND FIRE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETED.
COOLERS WERE INSTALLED AND FINAL WALL FURNISHES ARE UNDERWAY.
A COOKING LINE AND PRE-MANUFACTURED WALLS ARE INSTALLED AND ALMOST COMPLETE.
THE COMMON AREA STOREFRONT SYSTEM IS NOW COMPLETE, INCLUDING ROLL-UP DOORS AND SUNSCREENS.
IN THE COMMON AREA, STAIR BENCH AREA IS UNDERWAY, AND EVENTUALLY, IT WILL BE CLAD IN THE RECLAIMED GYM FLOORING.
ADDITIONALLY, THE COLUMNS WRAPPED IN TREE CHUNK SECTIONS WILL BE COMPLETED SOON.
[NOISE] THE FINAL GRINDING AND POLISHING OF THE CONCRETE SLABS IN THE COMMON AREA WILL OCCUR NEAR THE END OF NOVEMBER.
IN THE ACADEMIC WING, LEVEL 1 IS PRETTY MUCH DONE WITH THE FINAL FINISHES.
MOST FLOORING IS COMPLETE WITH JUST A FEW FLOORS TO GO.
I SEE I HAVE AN UNFINISHED SENTENCE HERE, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, SO I'LL JUST SKIP IT.
[01:35:01]
[LAUGHTER] LEVEL 2 IS NOT COMPLETELY INTO FINAL FINISHES, IT SHOULD BE CLOSE TO COMPLETION THIS WEEK.LEVEL 3 IS SEEN IN THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES.
FINAL BATHROOM ACCESSORIES ARE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS AND ARE CLOSE TO WRAPPING UP.
AFTER THE WALK COVERINGS [NOISE] WERE COMPLETED LAST WEEK.
FINALLY, CEILING FAN INSTALLATION IS UNDERGOING AND MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
CORRIDORS ARE CERTAIN FAIRLY COMPLETE AND CREWS ARE WORKING ON THE CLASSROOMS. FINALLY, GROUND AND PAUSE AND THE COURT, OR CONCRETE FLOORS IS ONGOING.
STAIRWELL GUARDRAILS, AND PRESENTLY HAVE IN THE GUARDRAILS ARE INSTALLED AND SHOULD BE COMPLETE BY THE END OF NOVEMBER.
CTE VILLAGE, THE AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE, AND AQUACULTURE BUILDINGS HAVE SEEN THE COMPLETION OF THE EXTERIOR SHELL OVER THE LAST MONTH.
INTERIOR TO THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL REFERENCE HAS BEEN INSTALLED, AND FINAL WALL FINISHES ARE TAKING PLACE.
IN EQUIPMENT HAS ALSO BEEN INSTALLED, PRESENTLY CREWS ARE WORKING ON THE CONCRETE SLABS AND SIDEWALKS AROUND THE BUILDINGS AND THEY ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE FINAL FINISHES.
ONE THING I DIDN'T HAVE ON HERE BUT I WILL CHECK WITH MARK IS ON MY DRIVE OVER HERE WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT GREENHOUSE.
THE PANELS ARE ABOUT FOUR WEEKS OUT.
ALUMINUM IS A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THAT.
THEY'RE SHOOTING FOR, I BELIEVE IN JANUARY RETURN OVER THE GREENHOUSE FOR USE BY THE SUPPORT.
SITE WORK OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE OLD GREENHOUSE, AND THE WHOLE BLOCK OF THE CULTURAL BUILDING WERE DEMOLISHED OVER THE LAST MONTH.
PRESENTLY PREPARATION FOR THE NEW EMERGENCY GENERATOR IS TAKING PLACE IN THE FOOTPRINT OF THE [INAUDIBLE] CULTURE OF BUILDING.
CAREER CONSTRUCTION IS NOW UNDERWAY.
THE FOUNDATION FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] CONDUCTING ACADEMICALLY TO THE ATHLETIC CTE WEIGHING ON UNDERWAY ALONG WITH THE STORM DRAINS AND SIDEWALKS.
CRUZ AND I STARTED WORKING IN THE GRANDSTAND AREA IN REFORMING THE NORTH AND RETAINING WALL AROUND ONE DROP AREA.
CRUZ AND I ARE NOW INSTALLING THE DRAINING SYSTEM AND CASES OF PIPES IN GRAVEL THAT LAY DIRECTLY BELOW THE NEW FOOTBALL FIELD.
THERE WAS SOME ACCOMPANYING PICTURES THAT WENT WITH THAT ON THE CRITICAL BUILDING PROJECTS.
A COUPLE OF THINGS TO NOTE, WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT JAMIE HAS NOW FINISHED THE LAST TWO PROJECTS FOR THEIR SECURED ACCESS TO THE BUILDINGS, WHICH WAS NORTH BELLINGHAM AND BEACH ELEMENTARY.
THAT WAS GREAT TO HAVE OFF THE LIST AND MOVE TO THE COMPLETING SECTION.
ON THE DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROLS, SKYLINE IS PRETTY MUCH WRAPPED UP JUST DOWN TO SOME COMMISSIONING ITEMS AND THE CASTOR IS GETTING ROLLING.
ON THE [INAUDIBLE] CONTROL STANDARDIZATION, WE HAVE THE DISTRICT OFFICE BUILDING SIGNED UP.
WE, OF COURSE, WENT OUT TO BID FOR CENTRAL CASCADIA IN THE HORIZON, WHICH WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TOWARDS STARTING THOSE PROJECTS.
ORIGINALLY, ME AND ALL MY SCHEDULE AND IT REFLECTS IT IS GOING TO BE SUMMERTIME, ALL THE CONTRACTORS I HAVE INDICATED THAT EVEN THE BEST PRICE.
BUT NOW THEY'RE ACTUALLY SIGNED UP TO DO IT, THEY'RE MORE TARGETING TO GET ROLLING AROUND FEBRUARY.
THAT'S MY THOUGHT, PROBABLY JUST GOES AROUND IT TO REFLECT THAT EARLIER START.
WE'RE HAVING A GROUP MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH ABS, THE COMMISSION AGENT AND JAMIE'S FOLKS TO LOOK WHAT THE SEQUENCING HAS TO GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE ON ALL OF THOSE.
THEN, THE LAST THING WE MENTIONED THERE IS PRESENTLY NEGOTIATING A DEAL WITH ETS FOR THE BEST ALTERNATIVE.
PREVIOUSLY, IF WE DID ASSIGN THEM TO ALTERNATE AND WE WOULD HAVE ORDERED MATERIALS, AND COMPLETED THE DESIGN WORK, THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HOOK FOR PAYING THEM FOR THAT.
I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HIM ON HIS CONDITIONAL AGREEMENT TO ACTUALLY CONTRACT AMENDMENT TO EXECUTE THAT ALTERNATE WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY NOT PROCEED WITH ANY PROCUREMENT, OR DESIGN UNTIL APRIL 15TH, WHEN THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE GO-AHEAD BECAUSE THE NEXT PRICE INCREASE WILL COME ON JUNE 1ST.
I'M TRYING TO SET IT AT WHEN WE MAKE A FINAL DECISION WHICH WOULD STILL ALLOW THEM TO FORWARD THE MATERIALS, GET THE DESIGN WORK DONE BEFORE THEY WOULD GET ROLLING AROUND JUNE.
THAT'S HOW IT WORKS RIGHT NOW.
I SET THE FINAL VERSION OVER AT ETS TODAY, I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM.
IT'S JUST A WAY TO PROCEED WITHOUT HAVING RISK ON THE DISTRICT'S PART AND FRANKLY, FOR ATS AVOIDING RISKS ON YOUR PART AS WELL.
THIS PROTECTS BOTH PARTIES, ALLOWS US TO SIGN THEM UP AND THEN,
[01:40:01]
STILL CAPTURE THAT [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] FROM THAT COMPETITIVE IN A NUMBER OF YEARS, WHICH WAS HUGE, 800 COMPARED TO 1.2 MILLION, SO YEAH.THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I GOT ON CRITICAL BUILDINGS. QUESTIONS?
>> ERIC, IS THE VIDEO BOARD IN THE COMMONS AREA THE SAME SIZE AS THE VIDEO BOARDS IN GYM?
IT MAY BE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE.
>> NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE OUT IF I'M MISSTATING.
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE 18 FEET, I BELIEVE.
>> ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING ELSE ON THE REPORT? THANK YOU, KEN.
I HOPE WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR LAST COUPLE OF ITEMS OF THE NIGHT.
I'LL PROBABLY PASS THROUGH A QUARTERLY REPORT, BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY DO A REPORT TO THE BOARD IN DECEMBER.
AGAIN, WE CHANGED THE FORMAT, SO I'LL ADD ON TIME, ON BUDGET WHEN TRANSPARENCY THINGS.
>> YOU ARE WRITING YOURSELF? [OVERLAPPING]
>> [INAUDIBLE] PREPARE AND GIVE THE QUARTERLY REPORT.
>> I DON'T MIND WRITING, THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT HAVING OTHER PEOPLE WRITE IS WHEN I'M PRESENTING, I FIND MYSELF JUST READING VERBATIM, AND NOT ACTUALLY [NOISE] THINKING ABOUT WHAT I'M SAYING RATHER THAN JUST READING WORDS TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS, AND THEN I HAVE TO GO BACK AND RE-READ. ANYWAY.
>> WE'LL EMAIL YOU WITH ITEMS.
>> YES. WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST, WHEN PEOPLE HAVE SENT ME STUFF, I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN BRIAN AND SANDY.
I REWORDED IT AND THAT'S NOT TO DIMINISH WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE SENT IT SO I CAN PROCESS IT IN MY BRAIN AND PUT IT ON PAPER, SO THEN I CAN TALK ABOUT IT WITH SOME BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS FINE.
EVEN IF YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF WRITING THE WHOLE THING OUT, IF YOU WANT IT TO BE BULLET POINTS ON THE STUFF THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S INCLUDED, I THINK COMPILE AND FORMAT THAT WORKS GREAT FOR ME.
IF ANYBODY HAS INPUT ON THINGS THAT THEY THINK WOULD BE A GOOD ADD, EMAIL ME, I'LL PUT THE REPORT TOGETHER, I'LL TRY TO GET IT TO TAMMY [INAUDIBLE] I'LL PROBABLY NEED TO GET IT TO YOU IF OUR MEETING IS ON THE 13TH, I NEED TO PROBABLY GET IT TO YOU BY THE 8TH.
>> THAT WOULD BE VERY GOOD BECAUSE I NEED [INAUDIBLE]
>> WHAT MONTHS ARE WE COVERING?
>> WE ARE COVERING [BACKGROUND] AUGUST.
I THINK IT'S AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER.
>> ACTUALLY, THE SCHOOL BOARD, THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CHANGED TO DECEMBER 13TH.
>> WE'RE GOING TO HIT DECEMBER THEN PUSH THIS UP.
>> THERE ARE MEETINGS ON THE 15TH?
>> I MEAN, WE COULD DO OUR MEETING ON THE 6TH, WE JUST HOPE.
HOPEFULLY OUR MEETING WILL BE FAIRLY.
>> IT SAYS RIGHT HERE, THE NEXT MEETING DECEMBER 20.
>> YEAH. THAT'S UP FOR DISCUSSION THOUGH.
>> IF YOU GUYS WANT TO CHANGE IT, WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT MEETING DURING BREAK, RIGHT?
>> BEFORE THEY CHANGED THEIR EARLIER IN THE MONTH.
>> ARE YOU GUYS IN FAVOR DOING IT IN THREE WEEKS ON THE 6TH? [LAUGHTER] [NOISE]
>> IS THAT AN ISSUE WITH THE BOARD?
>> WELL, THEN OUR MEETING NEEDS TO BE BEFORE THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
HOW MUCH CHANGE IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THREE WEEKS?
>> LET'S GO ON TO DISCUSS THE CONTENT OF THE QUARTERLY REPORT.
OTHERWISE, PROBABLY WE CAN MEET MR. RAY? YES?
[01:45:03]
NOTHING ELSE IN MY MOUTH YET, NOW WE'RE HERE FOR TRADING RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU WANT TO.
>> WE CAN WITH JULY BEING THERE TOO.
>> JULY BEING SEVEN MONTHS AWAY.
>> PROBABLY WE CAN MEET ON THE 6TH ALSO.
>> WITH DECEMBER BEING WE CAN'T CAME OFFICE WE CAN, IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEND ME YOUR INPUT, I CAN KICK BACK OUT THE REPORT, SEND ME ANY COMMENTS YOU GOT, AND THEN I'LL SEND IT MAYBE BY 7TH MEETING AND THEN I CAN JUST PRESENT ON THE 13TH, SO FORTH AND THEN WE CAN MEET IN JANUARY.
>> IS THAT A QUESTION OR YOU'RE MAKING A STATEMENT?
>> I'M MAKING A MOTION TO CANCEL OUR DECEMBER MEETING. ALL IN FAVOR?
>> AYE. [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER]
WITH THIS PROGRAM YOU'LL RULE BY ACTUALLY MAKING A MOTION.
>> SORRY, IF SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
>> EITHER WAY WE CAN CANCEL DECEMBER MEETING?
>> YES. I WILL WRITE THE REPORT. TRY TO SEND IT OUT.
SEND ME YOUR INPUT BY THE 2ND, DECEMBER 2ND.
I'LL TRY TO WRITE IT AND GET IT BACK OUT THAT WEEKEND.
SEND ME ANY COMMENTS BACK AND THEN I GOT TO GET TO SANDY BY NEXT WEDNESDAY [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER] HE IS SITTING RIGHT OVER YOUR SHOULDER.
THEN WE WILL JUST MEET AGAIN IN JANUARY AND HEAR ALL THE GOOD NEWS, THE TRANSITION INTO THE NEW SCHOOL AND HOW EVERYTHING'S GOING PERFECTLY? [LAUGHTER] THERE'S NO CLEANING BY THE TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM.
>> I WILL SAY I WILL COMMENT ON ONE OF MY TASKS IS TO TAKE THE TEACHERS ON TOURS LAST TWO MONTHS, 2-3 TIMES, FOUR TIMES A WEEK, AND TAKE A SMALL GROUP IN THERE AND OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
WE STARTED TOURS AND THE TEACHER'S BODY LANGUAGE, AS YOU KNOW, HANDS ON THE HIP THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
ARMS CROSSED TO THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEIR ARMS OPENING UP AND GOING, HEY, DID YOU SEE THIS LOOK MUCH CABINET SPACE IS HERE? I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
IT'S COME TO LIFE AND THEY'VE STARTED TO EMBRACE IT.
NOW THEY'RE NOT ALL COMPLETELY HAPPY.
BLEEDING BUT IT'S GETTING BETTER.
WE WILL GET IN THERE, IT'LL WORK.
IT'S BEEN A GREAT PROCESS TO GO THROUGH AND SEE. IT'S BEEN PRETTY COOL.
WELL, IF YOU WALK INTO THE NEW SCHOOL NOW AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO YOUR CLASSROOM MEDICAL BUILDING, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN GET TO A PLACE [OVERLAPPING]
>> I ASKED HIM TO CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REMEMBER THE CLASSROOM THERE AND THEN OPEN UP AGAIN AND LOOK AT THE CLASSROOM.
WE'RE GOING TO ALWAYS LOOK AT THE COMMENTS.
>> THEY OPEN THEIR EYES AND LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO ERIC?
>> CANDY, THE LAST ITEM ON OUR LIST IS A BREAKDOWN STANDING TOGETHER TOWARD GAP FUNDING.
>> IT'S JUST ALL TYPES OF MONEY THAT WENT INTO THE BILL.
JUST THINKING THAT MAYBE VOTERS, MAYBE CITIZENS, WOULD WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF THEIR PROPERTY TAX [NOISE] CAME BACK TO THEM.
WE KEPT IT HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THOSE ARE BIG NUMBERS AND JUST TRIED TO PUT SOME THOUGHT TO A CONCEPT LIKE A ONE-PAGE MAYBE AT THE END OF THE WHOLE THING AND DOWN ON THE FAR RIGHT SIDE WOULD BE ALL THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE INVOLVE POLICY OR RECOMMENDATIONS OR JUST PROCESS.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHERE THAT S CAT FUNDING COMES FROM.
I THINK IT'S PROBABLY NOT COMING FROM STATE GENERAL FUND, PROBABLY COMING FROM OUR PROPERTY TAXES FOR GENERAL EDUCATION.
BUT I'M NOT TOTALLY CLEAR ON THAT PIECE.
JUST A CONCEPT THOUGH, JUST TO KEEP THINKING ABOUT.
[01:50:08]
>> MORE DETAIL. YOU THINK THE DISTRICT, SHOULD SEND THIS OUT AND YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE WHAT DO YOU PICTURE?
>> NO, I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN WE WERE TRAINED TO FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO DO THE QUARTERLY REPORT.
JUST A DIFFERENT WAY TO SUMMARIZE THE INFORMATION AND MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING AT THE END.
I WAS SURPRISED DURING THIS PROCESS TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY WAS GOING INTO THE BUILDING.
THERE'S STILL AREAS THAT I THINK WE COULD MENTION TO OUR STATE REPS TO CHANGE, LIKE THE RETAIL SALES TAX.
THE SCHOOL PAYS THE RETAIL SALES TAX ON THE CONSTRUCTION.
CDO FUNDS KEEPS IT, WALKING COUNTY KEEPS IT, STATE KEEPS A PORTION, BUT THEN IT COMES BACK AND IT GETS REFUNDED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
BUT STILL, THAT RETAIL SALES TAX WAS PAID AND THE MUNICIPALITIES KEEP IT.
MAYBE WE COULD LOBBY OUR LOCAL REPS SO THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT BUILDINGS DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE RETAIL SALES TAX.
OR LIKE THE SINGLE-SPAN METAL BUILDING.
MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT JUST LIKE WHEN DOT BUILDS ROADS, THERE'S JUST STANDARD CONSTRUCTION.
THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO PUT A MONUMENT MARKER ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD.
MAYBE STATE-SPONSORED BUILDINGS COULD BE ENCOURAGING OF SINGLE-SPAN IN CAFETERIAS OR GYMS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. JUST DIFFERENT THOUGHTS.
>> IS IT MELINDA, THE STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD? YEAH. HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER ABOUT THIS?
>> THEY ALREADY CHOSE THEIR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT SESSION.
>> IT'S ALWAYS QUITE A LOT, THEY'RE GETTING WAS JUST 100S.
>> THAT SAID MORE LOCALLY THOUGH THERE'S SOME VALUE IN THIS THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE NEXT TASK FORCE CAN USE AS SOME TOOLS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE FACT THAT IT ISN'T, YOU'RE NOT JUST THROWING MONEY, GOOD MONEY OVER BAD FOR A PROJECT.
IT'S GOING BACK INTO YOUR COMMUNITY AND THERE IS DEFINITELY VALUE IN THEM HANGING ONTO THAT SO THAT THEY CAN USE IT, WHOEVER THAT IS CAN USE IT AS A TOOL BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BOND.
IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO ASSUME THAT THEN SOME PEOPLE WANT AND THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME PREPARATION FOR THAT.
>> DO WE KNOW WHAT THE LAST YEAR'S COST WAS LIKE THAT WHATEVER COST PER THOUSAND NUMBER, THAT ALWAYS GETS THROWN AROUND EVERY TIME WE GO FOR THE BOND? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS BOND HAS GOTTEN DOWN TO WITH THE INCREASE IN VALUE IN THE DISTRICT?
>> I BELIEVE LAST YEAR WAS A $1.33.
>> I THINK, GIVE ME A SECOND, I WILL LOOK FOR IT.
>> NO, IT'S HOLIDAY, I GUESS IT WAS.
>> FIFTEEN MORE YEARS ON THIS.
GET ANOTHER ONE BEFORE THE LAST THINGS OUT.
>> THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HERE. [NOISE] IT SHOULD BE A 100 [OVERLAPPING]
>> WE HAVE FEW SCHOOLS TO BUILD AROUND IT.
>> I THINK A LOT OF TRIPS TO EUROPE.
>> ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER? WE'LL ADJOURN OUR MEETING. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
[01:55:06]
>> [NOISE]
