[00:00:02]
OKAY.[1. CONVENE]
WE'RE GOING. 6:03.ALL RIGHT. WE'LL START WITH ROLL CALL.
GO AROUND THE TABLE. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS ON ZOOM, SO WE'LL JUST GO AROUND THE TABLE.
MARK HARDING, BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
NEXT ORDER IS TO ADOPT THE AGENDA.
OR SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENTS.
CORRECTIONS, FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP.
OTHERWISE WE'LL. ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE AGENDA AS IT'S WRITTEN.
MOTION TO ADOPT THE AGENDA AS WRITTEN.
ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? AGENDA IS ADOPTED AS WRITTEN.
NEXT ITEM IS THE MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH.
IF ANYBODY'S GOT ANY COMMENTS, ADDITIONS, MODIFICATIONS, FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP OR WE WILL.
ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THOSE AS WRITTEN.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OR APPROVE AS WRITTEN A VERY OPPOSED.
RIGHT. MINUTES ARE APPROVED AS WRITTEN.
UH, MOVING ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
[2. PUBLIC COMMENT]
WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE, SO THAT'S GREAT.SO IF THERE IS ANY PUBLIC COMMENT, FEEL FREE TO STAND UP.
MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT AND LISTEN AND PROVIDE AN ANSWER LATER.
WE'RE MORE OF A KIND OF A CONVERSATIONAL BODY.
SO IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ANSWER NOW, WE WILL PROBABLY TRY TO DO SO.
SO. BUT IF ANYBODY DOES WANT TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
OR IS THAT LATER? OKAY, PERFECT.
ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT THEN FOR.
TWO ATTENDEES BESIDES THE STUDENT GROUP.
THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, SHE WAS PRETTY INSTRUMENTAL PIECE IN GETTING THIS THING PASSED.
SO. JUST LETTING EVERYBODY KIND OF KNOW THAT.
SHE [INAUDIBLE] BIG PART OF THE GROUP THAT MADE IT HAPPEN.
SO I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE HER OBITUARY.
I THINK I HEARD SOMETHING THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE, [INAUDIBLE] YEAH, SHE WAS.
VERY INVOLVED. YEAH [INAUDIBLE].
GUESTS PRESENT TO THE GROUP DID ACTUALLY UNRELATED TO THAT TO MY LAST COMMENT.
TALK TO MR. TORRETTA. GREAT CONVERSATION ABOUT THE GREENHOUSE AND STUFF GOING ON OUT THERE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S SOME CONTROL ISSUES WE'RE WORKING THROUGH.
WITH THEM HAVING ACCESS TO THE CONTROLS AT THE GREENHOUSE, WHICH I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO CONTROL IT THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IT.
[00:05:07]
SO. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY? PUBLIC COMMENT TYPE.WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMUNICATION.
[3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]
I THINK THERE'S A NEW.THIS PACKET SEEMS TO BE GETTING LARGER BY THE MONTH.
THAT'S FAIRLY CONSISTENT MONTH OVER MONTH.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? I SEE THAT KIND OF THE PHASING MAP AND EVERYTHING KIND OF GETS THROWN INTO THE BOND UPDATE EVERY WEEK.
SO. I THINK THAT'S STILL GOOD.
WE MODIFYING THIS TO GO OUT TO THE CTE OPENING OF.
YEAH, I GUESS IT'D BE JANUARY OF 24, RIGHT? DIDN'T WE DECIDE THAT? OR YOU GUYS DECIDE THAT WE'RE GOING TO JUST PUNT UNTIL THE WINTER BREAK? ON. GETTING IT SWITCHED OVER WAS THE LAST THING.
WELL, WE NEED KIND OF A FINAL DECISION FROM THE SCHOOL FOLKS FROM I'VE AND.
FOLKS [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LEANING.
YEAH. AND THERE COULD BE SOME THAT MOVE IN BEFORE THAT UNDERSTANDING.
WHAT'S THE CLASSROOM SPACE MIGHT BE USABLE BY SCHOOL.
YEAH. THAT'LL THE TRANSITION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT A THREE WE'RE ESTIMATING IT'S LIKE A THREE WEEK CUT OVER.
SO IT COULD BE A PHASED WITHIN THE PHASE.
YEAH SO PUSHING THE YELLOW LINE OUT TO DECEMBER WOULD BE ACCURATE THEN PROBABLY.
I THINK WE'RE DUE TO UPDATE THAT WHEN WE.
I MEAN, IT'S BETTER TO GET IT OUT THERE NOW, RIGHT? INSTEAD OF WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WATCH IT WILL SEE IT.
THEN IT MOVED. WHY DID IT MOVE? RIGHT. ALL THE DEMO OF THE CURRENT CTE BUILDING PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR.
EXCUSE ME. THE CURRENT CTE BUILDING DEMO PROBABLY BE NOT TILL NEXT FEBRUARY.
WELL, WE HAVE TO GET THEM MOVED OUT AND THEN COME UP WITH A PLAN TO DEMO IT.
SO. IDEALLY, WE KIND OF DO IT ON THE BACK SIDE, [INAUDIBLE].
I MEAN, I THINK THE YELLOW LINE IS SCHOOLS OPEN, RIGHT? SO LET'S MOVE IT OUT TO WHEN THE WHOLE SCHOOL IS REALLY OPEN.
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.
THAT MAKES SENSE. THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TO MOVE THAT LINE.
WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU'D HAVE? I MEAN, I ASSUME THAT. SLIM TO NONE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO PUSH TO TRY TO GET IN SOONER THAN.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY. I MEAN, WE'VE WORKED THROUGH THE SCHEDULE A COUPLE OF TIMES.
YOU'VE PROBABLY WORKED THROUGH IT A DOZEN TIMES.
I DON'T SEE ANY ON MY TANDEM SCHEDULE THAT I MADE THAT WAS FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE.
BUT I'M SHOWING THEM 5 TO 7 WORKING DAYS AHEAD OF MY AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE.
SO THEY'RE TRACKING ALMOST PERFECTLY.
SO THAT'S WHERE I FELT COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT.
YEAH, I GUESS AS SOON AS YOU HAVE A FINAL.
MIGHT AS WELL MOVE IT TO DECEMBER.
YEAH. ANSWER QUESTIONS IF THEY COME.
OH, ACTUALLY, ANOTHER PROBLEM.
THE GRASS PRACTICE FIELD ABOUT.
[00:10:01]
I GUESS I READ IT AS LIKE SOMEBODY THEY READ.SOMEBODY PROMISED THAT THE PRACTICE FIELD WOULD BE OPEN BY FALL.
AND I'M LIKE, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
YEAH, NO. WELL, THEY'D HAVE TO BE OPENING IT NOW TO GET IT.
WE ACTUALLY YEAH, WE ACTUALLY SAID WE WON'T USE IT THIS YEAR.
OH OKAY. SO THAT WE GET A CHANCE TO GET IT ESTABLISHED AND.
SO THEY'LL BE WORKING ON IT AND IT WILL BE LOOKED LIKE IT'S READY TO GO.
I DON'T IT DEPENDS ON WHEN THEY GET IT STRIPPED AND SEATED.
YOU KNOW HOW WE GET ESTABLISHED.
WE JUST DON'T WANT TO GET ON IT UNTIL IT'S READY, READY TO ROLL.
SO FOOTBALL WISE, WE SAID WE WILL FOR SURE BE ON IT THIS YEAR.
SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NEXT SPRING.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM BECAUSE I.
IS IT REALISTIC TO GET THAT UPDATED BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK FOR THIS? BOND UPDATE. TO GET SENT OUT.
I KNOW THIS IS LIKE A DEICHMANN GRAPHIC THING.
EASY. WHEN I SEND THE UPDATES TO DANIEL, HE SHOOTS THEM BACK TO ME IN, LIKE TEN MINUTES.
IT'S INCREDIBLE. SO I CAN GET IT TO HIM AS LATE AS ON THURSDAY FOR THE UPDATE.
YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT TO GET THAT IN.
AND THEN. DEAL WITH ANY CONSTERNATION IF IT COMES.
SO WE'LL TURN THE FLOOR OVER, I THINK, AT THIS POINT.
ALL AT THE SAME TIME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.
OKAY, SO MY NAME IS KALYAN AND I AM A SOPHOMORE AT FERNDALE HIGH SCHOOL, AND I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE WITH EVERYTHING AT THE NEW SCHOOL.
I THINK THE SCHOOL IS PRETTY NICE.
I LIKE THE OPEN CONCEPT AND THE LIKE STUDY AREAS THAT WE HAVE FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, BUT IT'S HARD TO MAKE FERNDALE HIGH SCHOOL FEEL LIKE A COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS SO NEW AND WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE OUR HOME FEEL LIKE HOME.
CURRENTLY IT FEELS LIKE A HOUSE.
DO YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE WE'RE JUST THERE AND WE CAN'T REALLY PUT POSTERS UP IN THE HALLWAYS LIKE WE NORMALLY DO IN THE OLD SCHOOL.
AND IT'S JUST HARD TO DO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE USED TO DO TO MAKE OUR STUDENTS FEEL MORE WELCOME AND MORE LIKE A COMMUNITY.
LIKE OUR HALLWAY DECORATING THAT WE USED TO DO IN THE WINTER TIME.
AND THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND OTHER STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT'S SO NICE TO GO DO HARD WORK AND MAKE THE HALLWAYS LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND THEN GO AND SEE THAT AND SEE HOW LIKE JUST TAKE ALL TAKE IN ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE AND WE JUST WE CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. AND IT'S SAD.
BUT YEAH. MY NAME IS OLIVIA COPPS, AND I'M ALSO A SOPHOMORE AT FERNDALE HIGH SCHOOL.
[00:15:01]
AND KELLY COVERED A LOT OF, LIKE, THE IDEAS I HAD.BUT TO TOUCH ON LIKE THE POSTER SUBJECT A LITTLE MORE, I KNOW IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WHEN WE WERE IN THE OLD SCHOOL POSTERS, SO IN LEADERSHIP TOO, I'M IN LEADERSHIP TOO, AND WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE TO DO.
EVERY INDIVIDUAL STUDENT HAS A PROJECT AND MY PROJECT WAS CREATING POSTERS FOR SPORTS GAMES AND PUTTING THEM IN THE HALLWAY FOR STUDENTS TO SEE SO THAT THEY CAN THEN PARTICIPATE IN THOSE EVENTS.
BUT. IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO SEE, LIKE THE INSTAGRAM POSTS OR OTHER ONLINE PROMOTION FOR THESE EVENTS BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE HAS SOCIAL MEDIA.
SO POSTERS WAS JUST LIKE A REALLY GOOD WAY TO GET STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY INVOLVED.
AND THEY DO HAVE TVS AROUND THE SCHOOL, BUT THEY'RE NOT BEING USED RIGHT NOW.
I THINK THERE ARE SOME TECHNICAL LIKE THINGS GOING ON WITH THOSE RIGHT NOW, BUT WHICH IS ALSO MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT AT THE MOMENT TO PROMOTE SCHOOL EVENTS AND LIKE CARLY SAID, MAKE OUR SCHOOL FEEL MORE LIKE A HOME AND LIKE WE BELONG THERE, LIKE WALKING THROUGH THE HALLS AND SEEING THESE POSTERS THAT WERE MADE BY YOUR FRIENDS OR MADE BY STUDENTS WAS REALLY LIKE A GOOD REMINDER THAT I BELONG HERE AND LIKE, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
AND I HAVE OTHER FRIENDS IN THIS SCHOOL.
JUST NICE. NOT LIKE COMFORTABLE, BUT YEAH, IT'S KIND OF, I'LL HAVE TO SAY.
OLIVIA YOU GUYS, THE IS THAT GIANT VIDEO BOARD IN THE COMMONS, RIGHT? YOU GUYS STARTED CREATING MEDIA FOR THAT SO THAT YEAH, SO THAT HAS LIKE A SLIDESHOW GOING ALL THE TIME, LIKE TWO SECONDS PER SLIDE.
BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO NOW IN MY LEADERSHIP CLASS IS GET.
UH, THE OTHER TVS IN THE SCHOOL, LIKE WITH DIFFERENT PROMOTION THINGS.
BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING PROMOTED ON THAT BIG SCREEN RIGHT NOW ARE KIND OF OUTDATED.
AND SO THEY DO PUT NEW STUFF ON THERE TOO, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHO RUNS IT EXACTLY.
YEAH, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO AND SPECIFICALLY, BUT YEAH.
IT'S PART OF ADMIN AND THEN ALSO PART OF LEADERSHIP.
THINGS TO PUT UP ON THERE AND THEN THEY DO IT.
BUT. YEAH, THEY HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED TO US ABOUT IT MUCH.
BUT MY OPINION IS IT DOES FEEL KIND OF STERILE BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO JUST THE LACK OF POSTERS NOT FEELING LIKE HOME, IT'S THE THING WHERE THEY HAVE BULLETIN BOARDS IN THE SCHOOL WHERE YOU CAN PUT THINGS UP.
SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO PUT OUT INFORMATION.
LIKE I SAW MAYBE THREE CANDIDATES TOTAL OUT OF ALL THE CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR ASB ON EVERY GRADE LEVEL HAVE POSTERS UP BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED BOARD SPACE.
AND SO THERE WASN'T A LOT OF VOTER INTERACTION LIKE PARTICIPATION IN THE ELECTIONS.
I THINK THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTERS WE HAD WAS 146 OUT OF LIKE A 300 PERSON CLASS.
AND AS PART OF ASB, PART OF OUR JOB IS TO LIKE MAKE AN EVENT FOR EACH MONTH TO GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED OR TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO PUT OUT INFORMATION, LIKE LIV SAID, WITH HER PROJECT FOR LEADERSHIP TOO, AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA PUTTING THE POSTERS UP ON THE WALLS, NOT ONLY DOES IT MAKE IT FEEL LIKE HOME, BUT IT'S A FANTASTIC WAY TO COMMUNICATE.
AND I THINK THEIR BIG WORRY IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO RUIN THE WALLS.
BUT A LOT OF US, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE'D BE STAPLING ON THE WALLS.
[00:20:01]
WAS THE MOST LIKE CONNECTED AND SUPPORTED AND UNITED.EVERYONE WAS WORKING TOGETHER.
EVERYONE WAS DIVIDED IN LITTLE GROUPS, WORKING ON THEIR SECTION OF THE HALLWAY.
BUT THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF LIKE INTERMINGLING AND SUPPORT BETWEEN THE GROUPS AND WALKING THROUGH THE NEXT MORNING, JUST SEEING EVERYONE'S HARD WORK AND HOW PRETTY THE HALLS LOOKED. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MAGICAL EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE AND I FEEL LIKE COMMUNITY EVENTS AND TRADITIONS LIKE THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO HALL DECORATING IN THE FUTURE IF WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO PUT THINGS ON THE WALLS.
SO FANTASTIC SCHOOL, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT STERILE.
I'M WONDERING, CAN I? OH. I WAS JUST WONDERING, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY EXAMINED AT THE BOND TASK FORCE COMMITTEE GOING BACK SIX, SEVEN YEARS, I GUESS, WAS THE NUMBER OF EXTERIOR DOORS.
ON THE OLD SCHOOL AND THE SECURITY MEASURES THAT THIS NEW SCHOOL WOULD BE PROVIDING.
AND WE'VE SEEN SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
WE'VE SEEN STUDENTS WALKING OUT OF SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SECURE ENOUGH THERE.
AND I WAS WONDERING IF OLIVIA, GABBY AND CALLIE COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW IT MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENT FROM FOR YOU GUYS FROM THE OLD SCHOOL WHERE THERE WAS SO MANY EXTERIOR DOORS OPEN TO THE NEW ONE WHERE YOU MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT SECURITY. FOR ME, IT'S NOT REALLY LIKE I GUESS I DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT SECURITY AS MUCH.
LIKE THE MAIN ENTRANCE ISN'T READY YET.
BUT YEAH, IT'S JUST AS EASY TO JUST LEAVE SCHOOL AND LIKE, I KNOW PEOPLE.
AND SO I GUESS STUDENTS DON'T REALLY FEEL MUCH OF A CHANGE.
IN MY EXPERIENCE, I GUESS, YEAH, I HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.
I PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO LIKE SAFETY CONCERNS AND STUFF, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE, LIKE RECENT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND MOVING INTO THE NEW SCHOOL. I HAVE FELT SO MUCH SAFER, LIKE EXPONENTIALLY.
THE DOORS AREN'T LIKE TO THE FUNCTION YET THAT THEY EXPLAINED WHERE ONCE THE MAIN DOORS AND THE MAIN ENTRANCE IS COMPLETED, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL. YOU'LL HAVE TO BE LIKE BUZZED THROUGH THE OFFICE.
BUT EVEN WITHOUT THAT LIKE ADDED LAST SAFETY FEATURE, DURING THE TOURS WE WERE GIVING FOR THE OPEN HOUSE WITH THE COMMUNITY, I NOTICED THESE BIG LIKE SLIDING THINGS.
IT IS MINIMIZING DAMAGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S ALSO KIND OF LESS OF A FIRE HAZARD THERE.
DEFINITELY SOME FIRE HAZARD THINGS IN THE OLD BUILDING AND THEY HAVE LIKE FIRE ESCAPE THINGS ON HIGHER FLOORS WITH LIKE BLOW UP SLIDES TO ESCAPE.
SO I FEEL LIKE THE NEW SCHOOL IS REALLY NICE, REALLY LIKE SAFETY CONCERN.
IT IS A TOP PRIORITY AND THEY'VE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO HOW TO EXECUTE THOSE SAFETY MEASURES FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I GUESS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME IS HOW HAS YOUR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE ACTUALLY IMPROVED WITH THE NEW SCHOOL? I FEEL LIKE WITH THE NEW SCHOOL, PEOPLE ARE MORE, WELL, TEACHERS AND JUST LIKE STAFF IN GENERAL ARE MORE STRICT RIGHT NOW.
SO I THINK STUDENTS ARE LESS WANDERING AROUND THE HALLWAYS AND WE DO HAVE COLOR CODED HALL PASSES.
AND ON THE SECOND FLOOR, IT'S YELLOW AND ON THE FIRST FLOOR IT'S GREEN.
AND I THINK THAT OR THEY'LL LIKE REMIND YOU, GO TO YOUR CLASS AND THEN YOU'LL GO TO CLASS.
AND IF THEY SEE YOU AGAIN, LIKE YOU'LL BE IN TROUBLE.
[00:25:03]
THERE'S MORE SUPERVISION, I GUESS, ON THAT.WITH THAT BEING SAID, I ALSO AGREE AND I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE A LOT LESS STUDENTS WANDERING IN THE HALLS, BUT THERE'S ALSO LIKE WE SINCE WE HAVE THE LEARNING AREAS, WE HAVE AREAS WHERE WE CAN HAVE A QUIET SPACE TO WORK AS A GROUP WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN OUR CLASSROOMS. UM, I HAD A GROUP PROJECT.
IT WAS I HAD TO RECORD A PODCAST AND IT WAS REALLY NICE TO HAVE THOSE WORKING SPACES SO I COULD RECORD THAT PODCAST IN A QUIET AREA.
IN ADDITION TO THE LESS SKIPPING AND THE I DEFINITELY AGREE ON BEING ABLE TO SPREAD OUT WITH GROUP WORK SO THAT IT'S NOT REALLY LOUD AND EVERYTHING JUST HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE IN A CLASSROOM, YOU'RE ABLE TO SPLIT OFF INTO SMALLER GROUPS.
IT'S ALSO THE KIND OF THING WHERE, LIKE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ARE SO MUCH BETTER IN THE NEW SCHOOL THAT YOU'RE NOT LIKE UNFOCUSED BECAUSE IT'S TOO HOT OR BECAUSE YOU'RE FREEZING IN OLD MAIN BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING.
THE DESKS ARE BETTER BECAUSE I REMEMBER LAST YEAR IT'D BE THE KIND OF THING WHERE YOU'D HAVE CERTAIN DESKS WAS REALLY WOBBLY CHAIRS. SO THERE WAS ALWAYS THIS ONE KID IN THE BACK OF THE CLASSROOM TIPPING BACK AND FORTH.
ONLY ONE OF THEM HAD A WATER BOTTLE FILLER AND IT WAS ALL THE WAY IN THE GYM.
NOW THEY HAVE, I WANT TO SAY, 1 OR 2 WATER BOTTLE FILLERS WITH DRINKING FOUNTAINS ON EACH FLOOR.
SO YOU'RE ABLE TO JUST GET OUT, GET A DRINK, GO RIGHT BACK TO CLASS AND CONTINUE FOCUS ON LEARNING.
SO ALL YOUR NEEDS ARE A LOT MORE EASILY MET IN THE NEW SCHOOL WITH THE NEW LAYOUT AND EQUIPMENT.
HOW WAS THE TEMPERATURES DURING IN THE SCHOOL DURING WHEN IT WAS REALLY HOT OUT? LIKE THE NEW SCHOOL OR THE OLD SCHOOL? NEW SCHOOL. OH, AND THE NEW SCHOOL.
AND I'M FEELING A LITTLE BIT CHILLY IN THE CLASSROOM.
EVEN LIKE A COMFORTABLE CHILL, LIKE YOU'RE COOL, YOU'RE RELAXED.
OKAY. I WOULD DISAGREE A TINY BIT JUST BECAUSE I'M A SO WHEN IT WAS REALLY HOT, I OKAY, SO WE HAVE LIKE GOLDEN BLUE DAYS AND ONE OF ON MY GOLD DAY ALL OF MY CLASSES ARE ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND LIKE THE HEAT RISES SO IT'S ALL ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND I AM SWEATING AND I'M JUST SWEARING, OH MY GOD, AM I GETTING PIT STAINS RIGHT NOW? AND IT WAS JUST I JUST GET REALLY HOT UP THERE.
AND I WAS LIKE, OH, THAT'S SUPER GREAT.
BUT APPARENTLY IT HASN'T WORKED ALL YEAR, I GUESS IS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
UM, BUT YEAH, IT'S BETTER ALL AROUND THAN THE OLD SCHOOL.
BUT YEAH, MY TEACHERS HAD TO SHOW ME HOW TO USE THE FANS BECAUSE I NEEDED TO CHANGE IT A LOT.
SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE THAT OPTION THOUGH.
I ALSO KIND OF WANT TO DISAGREE WITH GABBY.
UM, MY COMMUTE FROM THE VERY FIRST FLOOR.
I HAVE TO GO FIRST FLOOR ALL THE WAY TO THE THIRD FLOOR.
I GET VERY HOT AND VERY SWEATY WHEN I'M WALKING UP THOSE STAIRS.
AND THEN I WALK INTO THE CLASSROOM AND I SIT DOWN AND I'M STILL KIND OF REALLY HOT.
AND THEN I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN AND THEN ALL THE WAY BACK UP.
AND I GET REALLY HOT DURING THE DAY AND THEN IT'S STILL KIND OF WARM.
BUT OTHER CLASSROOMS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS WITH THE TEMPERATURE.
BUT YEAH, SO WHEN IS THE NORMAL TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE? EVERYTHING'S FINE. ARE THERE OPERABLE OPERABLE WINDOWS.
RIGHT. UH HUH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
[00:30:08]
ACTUALLY HAVE TO TRAIN THE OCCUPANTS TO OPERATE SOME OF THE SYSTEMS. AND OPENING WINDOWS IS ONE OF THEM.AND SOME OF IT'S LIKE OPEN THE WINDOWS IN THE MORNING AND CLOSE THEM IN THE AFTERNOON TYPE OF THING.
HAS THAT BEEN MARKED OR NOT? I'M WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AT THE LAST WEDNESDAY'S CONSTRUCTION MEETING ABOUT ACTUALLY PUTTING OUT AN INSTRUCTION SHEET WITH BEST PRACTICES BECAUSE THAT WAS PART OF THE NATURAL INSTINCT. IT'S HOT OPEN THE WINDOWS, BUT IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT HOTTER.
BUT YEAH, THAT WAS LIKE I LEARNED THAT LESSON DURING OUR LAST SUMMER WITH COOLING MY HOUSE.
BUT I WAS TOURING THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THERE WERE THEY HOT DAY AND THE HEAT ROSE.
BUT I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF THOSE WINDOWS WERE OPEN THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ONE.
AND I THINK THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE ON THE THIRD FLOOR WAS LIKE 83.
ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE NOW WRITTEN A PROGRAM THAT DARREN KIND OF THE FACILITY MANAGER FOR VENTILATION, HE CAN ACTUALLY SWITCH THAT WHEN A HOT DAY IS COMING TO WHERE THE OUTDOOR AIR IS BEING DRAWN IN AT THE COLDEST TIME OF NIGHT.
AND THEN THE LAST PIECE THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IS IF IT'S EVEN THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING THE SOFTWARE HAVE AN IF, THEN RELATIONSHIP WITH A LOCAL WEATHER STATION, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D BE ABLE TO DO THAT OR NOT.
SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE SUBMITTALS NOW AND WE'RE PROCEEDING WITH GETTING THE FINAL SHADES.
SO THE SHADES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT.
THE TRAINING IS IMPORTANT WHEN TO OPEN THE WINDOW, WHEN NOT TO OPEN THE WINDOW.
AND SO THAT ALL PLAYS INTO IT.
SO WE'RE RIGHT TOASTY, BUT THE GYM WAS COLD AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, THIS IS NICE.
HAS THE GYMS ON THE NORTH SIDE WITH NO WINDOWS? AND THE SOUTH SIDE IS, OF COURSE.
I THINK THERE'S ONLY JUST A COUPLE OF LEFT.
WE'VE HAD THAT TRACKING ON OUR PUNCH LIST AND THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME DEFAULTS IN THE FAN THEMSELVES.
SO ALL THE GUYS ON THE JOB DID THE JOB RIGHT, BUT THE FAN IS DEFECTIVE.
SO WE'RE DOWN TO JUST A COUPLE LEFT OF THOSE TROUBLESHOOTING.
BUT THEN WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT IN THE END KIND OF DOING A STUDY AS TO HOW THE BUILDING IS PERFORMING, YOU KNOW, WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE.
AND SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
BUT THEN, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE BUILDING AND HOW THEY'RE SITUATED TO THE SUN.
AND SO BECAUSE THAT ALL COMES INTO PLAY.
SO IT'LL BE KIND OF INTERESTING.
AND IN FACT, THIS WAS A LENGTHY DISCUSSION WE HAD TODAY AND MY WALKING COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ADVISORY BOARD ON HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS ON TECHNIQUES TO KEEP THE BUILDINGS COOL.
AND THEN ALSO LIKE SCHEDULING WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR SUMMER SCHOOL.
SO FIRST FLOOR, SECOND FLOOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THE THIRD FLOOR IN THE DEAD OF SUMMER.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO GO INTO IT.
FOR THE HEAT. SO IT'S THE FIRST TIME THROUGH IT.
IT WAS ABOUT 2 OR 3 DEGREES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EACH FLOOR ON THAT DAY AND IT WAS 83 TRACKING IT ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF THOSE CLASSROOMS. BUT. I THINK WITH THE SCHEDULING CHANGE TO WHERE WE'RE DUMPING MORE.
AND WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY 89 DEGREE DAYS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.
OTHER THAN THE SUN. I BELIEVE SO.
YES, I COULD DO AT HOME. RIGHT.
[00:35:01]
SO WE HAVE SOME THINGS THAT WILL HELP THE NEXT TIME.BUT. GET TO LEARN FIRST TIME THROUGH.
HOW ARE YOU? IS IT A BIG ADJUSTMENT WITH THE TIME IN BETWEEN CLASSES GOING THREE FLOORS? IS IT WORKING OUT? DO YOU THINK? OKAY.
SO I THINK WHAT WAS OUR PASSING PERIOD BEFORE WAS FIVE MINUTES.
AND I THINK THIS IS A FUNNY BECAUSE SO I HAVE TWO CLASSES IN THE FINE ARTS BUILDING, WHICH IS I HAVE TO GO FROM, LET'S SEE, I HAVE FIRST PERIOD IN CERAMICS, WHICH IS IN THE FINE ARTS, AND THEN I HAVE TO GO TO THE THIRD FLOOR FOR MY EAGLE TIME AND I HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE FINE ARTS.
AND I BARELY GET TO CLASS ON TIME, EVEN WITH SEVEN MINUTES.
AND THAT'S HOW LIKE SEVEN MINUTES CAME AND I JUST HAVE A HARD TIME SOMETIMES GETTING THERE RIGHT BEFORE THE BELL WITH ALL OF THE STUDENT TRAFFIC IN THE HALLWAYS.
BUT YEAH, I HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH A LOT, FROM FINE ARTS TO THE THIRD FLOOR AND BACK.
TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THE ONE DOOR AT THE GYM THOUGH, RIGHT? YEAH. TO WHERE LATER YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO RIGHT OUT THE FRONT.
YEAH, THAT'LL DEFINITELY HELP.
NEXT QUESTION I HAD FOR YOU GUYS WAS, ARE YOU SEEING YOUR TEACHERS UTILIZE THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE IN EACH CLASSROOM? YES. YEAH.
SO A LOT OF OUR TEACHERS TRY REALLY HARD TO USE ALL THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE IN THE CLASSROOMS AND IT'S REALLY NICE THE TVS WE HAVE, YOU CAN WRITE ON THEM AND THEIR TOUCH SCREEN AND THAT'S REALLY NICE.
BUT THERE'S SO MANY FEATURES ON THEM THAT A LOT OF MY TEACHERS STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UTILIZE THOSE FEATURES.
AND THERE'S I'LL HAVE ONE OF MY TEACHERS, SHE'LL TRY AND USE THE TV AND SHE'LL TAKE LIKE 5 OR 10 MINUTES TO TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT.
AND THAT TAKES TIME OUT OF THE LESSON TIME.
SO THAT'S REALLY HARD SOMETIMES.
MY WHEN I WHEN YOU SAID THAT QUESTION, MY CHEMISTRY TEACHER LIKE IMMEDIATELY CAME INTO MY MIND BECAUSE SHE IS ALWAYS LIKE SHOWING US WORKSHEETS ON THE BOARD AND LIKE CIRCLING THINGS WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN.
AND THEN LIKE SHE'LL GO AND TRY AND DO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT THE TOUCH SCREEN STILL ON.
SO SHE'S JUST DRAWING ON THE SCREEN.
AND THEN I SHE IS GETTING SO GOOD AT IT, THOUGH.
AND I THINK THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT JUST TAKES TIME TO LEARN.
AND I THINK THEY'LL ALL LIKE, OBVIOUSLY GET BETTER AS THEY FIGURE IT OUT ALONG THE WAY.
AND I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD THING TO HAVE.
AND I THINK A LOT OF THE TEACHERS ARE MAKING THE BEST OUT OF IT.
IT'S DEFINITELY KIND OF A LEARNING CURVE.
BUT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY HELPFUL WHEN TEACHERS ARE WRITING ON THE BOARD, GOING OVER LESSON PLANS AND TRYING TO SHARE THINGS ON LIKE POWERPOINTS THAT WOULD NOT BE NEAR AS POSSIBLE WITH LIKE LAST YEAR'S MALFUNCTIONING PROJECTORS.
ISN'T THERE WAS THERE AN ISSUE WITH THE HEIGHT OF SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT SCREENS IN THE CLASSROOMS? SOME PEOPLE DID THINK THEY WERE RATHER LOW BECAUSE I HAVE THE ISSUE IN A LOT OF MY CLASSES WHERE I'M SITTING BEHIND PEOPLE AND NORMALLY I'D BE ABLE TO SEE OVER THEIR HEADS TO SEE THE TV.
IF THEY WERE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, IT'D BE NICE FOR KIDS WHO ARE FURTHER BACK IN THE CLASSROOM.
SO HOW ARE KIDS COMPENSATING NOW WHEN THE SCREENS ARE TOO LOW AND THEY'RE IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM? YEAH. THIS IS HOW IT IS FOR ME IN MY CHEMISTRY CLASS.
WELL, IT USED TO BE, BUT I MOVED FORWARD IN THE CLASS BECAUSE I AM.
I'M SHORTER THAN A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN MY CHEMISTRY CLASS.
AND SO I CAN SEE PAST THEM AND SEE THE SCREEN.
[00:40:06]
AND SO SHE MOVED ME FORWARD.IT'S PROBABLY STILL THE SAME FOR THE KIDS IN THE BACK, SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST MOVING THEIR HEADS AROUND.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO FIX THAT.
YEAH, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE IN ONE OF MY MATH CLASSES.
I TRY TO LOOK AT THE BOARD AND I'M CONSTANTLY BOBBING MY HEAD BACK AND FORTH TO SEE WHAT MY TEACHER IS DOING ON THE BOARD AND WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO SHOW US.
IT'S A DIFFERENT SEATING ARRANGEMENT AND EVERYONE CAN SEE THE BOARD THOUGH.
SO I THINK GABBY WAS LIKE ONTO SOMETHING WHEN SAYING IT'S JUST LIKE ABOUT THE DESK ARRANGEMENTS BECAUSE SO IN MY CHEMISTRY CLASS, IT'S TWO TABLES PUT TOGETHER, SO IT'S FOUR PEOPLE IN A SQUARE.
BUT FOR MY MATH CLASS, IT'S THE TABLES JUST IN ROWS, BUT THEY'RE KIND OF STAGGERED A LITTLE BIT AND I THINK EVERYONE CAN SEE JUST FINE.
SO I THINK THAT WORKS PRETTY WELL.
KRISTEN, DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT? I HAVE SO MANY. I'M JUST LIKE, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THESE OPINIONS OR WHATEVER? THERE ARE SO MANY. LIKE IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE THESE AREN'T NECESSARILY CRITICISMS OF THE BUILDINGS.
THEY'RE JUST LIKE A REQUIREMENT FOR.
FURNITURE ARRANGEMENTS. NUMBER ONE THING TO DO.
THERE'S OTHER THINGS TO DO DEPENDING ON HOW THE TEACHERS USE IT TO SOLVE, BECAUSE IN THE OLDEN DAYS OF LARGE LECTURE HALLS, YOU WOULD WRITE ON THE WHITEBOARD AND THEN PUSH IT UP AND IT'D SLIDE UP AND EVERYBODY COULD SEE IT.
AND THEN YOU DRAG IT BACK DOWN TO WRITE YOUR EQUATION.
LIKE THERE'S THERE'S BEEN SOLUTIONS OVER HISTORY THAT YOU COULD APPLY TO A MODERN FACILITY.
NOW YOU GO THROUGH THE BUILDING AND SAY THESE CLASSROOMS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM THIS.
THESE CLASSROOMS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM THIS.
AND AND THEY'RE JUST TWEAKS TO RESOLVE SOME OF THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY AREN'T.
DEADLY. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE NOT SERIOUS VIRUSES.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST A COUPLE LITTLE TWEAKS TO MAKE.
FINE TUNE THOSE CLASSROOM THINGS.
BUT THIS IS COMMON IN EVERY BUILDING THAT OPENS.
IT'S LIKE THESE TYPE OF TWEAKS.
AND SO THERE'S SO MANY POSITIVE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.
BUT YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THE BEST WAY TO HAVE LIKE TO PROVIDE SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE SEEN OR HEARD FROM THESE LADIES, BUT ALSO IN THE TOURS I HAVE BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE JUST SO SUBTLE, BUT THEY MAKE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR AT LEAST PEOPLE FEELING LIKE THEY'RE.
RIGHT NOW. AND ONE DAY IT'LL FEEL LIKE HOME.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING.
OKAY. THE LAST QUESTION FOR ME, PLUG INS FOR YOUR COMPUTERS, HOW IS IT WORKING TO WHEN YOU HAVE TO CHARGE YOUR COMPUTERS AND DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH AND ARE THEY SITUATED IN A REASONABLE LOCATION WHERE YOU CAN GET TO THEM AND THINGS LIKE THAT? AND IN A LOT OF MY CLASSES, I THINK ALMOST ALL OF THEM, THERE'S ESPECIALLY IN MY IN ALL THE SCIENCE CLASSES, THERE'S OUTLETS ON EVERY LIKE LAB STATION AND IT'S REALLY HELPFUL.
BUT IN MY ENGLISH CLASS I KNOW THEY HAVE.
AND I THINK IT'S PRETTY HELPFUL BECAUSE IT CAN MOVE AROUND TOO.
SO I DEFINITELY THINK IT'S BETTER SITUATION THAN THE OLD BUILDING.
I THINK IT'S A LOT MORE BENEFICIAL.
IF NOBODY ELSE HAS ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
I DO HAVE ONE LITTLE LAST POSITIVE COMMENT TO MAKE.
DID WE EVEN HAVE AN ELEVATOR? YEAH, THERE WASN'T AN ELEVATOR.
THERE WAS A LITTLE LIKE SET OF STAIRS THAT LED UP TO A COUPLE OF CLASSROOMS. AND THERE WAS NO WAY FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES TO GET UP THERE.
I DON'T THINK WE HAD MORE THAN MAYBE ONE DOOR THAT YOU COULD PUSH A BUTTON TO OPEN.
[00:45:02]
I KNOW I PERSONALLY SUFFERED AN INJURY TO MY LEFT ANKLE FROM PLAYING A CLUB SPORT EARLIER THIS WINTER.I WAS ON CRUTCHES FOR LIKE A FEW DAYS, JUST UNTIL I'D RECOVERED ENOUGH THAT I COULD WALK ON IT REGULARLY AND I WAS ABLE TO CHECK IN WITH THE NURSE WITH LIKE A NOTE FROM MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST, GET AN ELEVATOR PASS THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO RETURN AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE TO WALK ON IT.
I MADE IT THERE ON TIME WHEN I WAS DONE USING THE ELEVATOR, WHICH WORKED PERFECTLY.
SO IF I COULD SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU HAVE SAID HERE TODAY.
A THEY WILL NOT LET YOU DISPLAY THINGS ON THE WALLS.
HOWEVER, THERE IS ACCESS TO THE MONITOR BOARDS, BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF WHICH FOR PEOPLE TO SUBMIT THINGS TO BE PUT UP ON THE READER BOARDS TO PROMOTE ACTIVITIES. SINCE THERE'S A NEW SCHOOL, KIDS ACTUALLY ARE GOING TO CLASS NOW.
WHERE IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WERE NOT BEFORE.
AND ESPECIALLY KIDS THAT MAY NOT BE QUITE AS DOMINANT AS YOU TO ASK FOR PROVISIONS TO ACTUALLY SEE THE SCREENS AND MORE SUBMISSIVE KIDS IN THE BACK PROBABLY ARE NOT GOING TO STAND UP AND DO THAT. AND THEY MAY BE GETTING HURT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE THE SCREENS.
IS THAT A PRETTY GOOD SUMMARY OF WHAT ALL THAT YOU JUST SAID? BUT THE TEMPERATURE IS COMFORTABLE.
IS THAT SERIOUSLY IS THAT A SUMMARY? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? POSITIVE.
OH, YEAH. THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVES.
I ACTUALLY KNOW YOU GUYS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I HAVE ONE MORE. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE GLASS? THE INTERIOR GLASS.
I THINK THAT A LOT OF THE INTERIOR GLASS IS REALLY COOL, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE LIBRARY CAN BE OPENED UP TO GIVE MORE WORKSPACE IN LIKE THE COMMONS AREA AND A LOT OF THE LIKE GLASS THINGS IN THE LIKE LEARNING AREAS WHERE YOU CAN GO OUT FOR LIKE GROUP WORK OR SOLO WORK WITH THE TEACHER WHEN THE CLASSROOM IS TOO LOUD OR TOO FULL, THEY FUNCTION AS WHITEBOARDS TOO.
AND THAT'S JUST A REALLY COOL FEATURE TO ME.
I KNOW MY ENGLISH CLASS, THE WALL IS JUST LIKE GLASS DOORS YOU CAN LIKE OPEN.
AND ALSO, I DO THINK THE GLASS ADDS A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT HOME ASPECT BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE OTHER STUDENTS WORKING AND YOU CAN SEE STUDENTS IN THAT LIBRARY WORKING OR LIKE TALKING TO EACH OTHER OR GETTING HELP FROM EACH OTHER AND JUST THINGS LIKE THAT.
I THINK IT'S A REALLY NICE TOUCH.
IT'S MORE OPEN. YEAH, IT'S A LOT.
IT FEELS A LOT MORE OPEN INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE CONFINED.
AND THERE'S A LOT BETTER NATURAL LIGHTING.
I ALSO REALLY LIKE THE GLASSWORK.
ANOTHER POSITIVE COMMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE IS THE IN THE GYM FOR ASSEMBLIES, WE GET THE TWO TVS ON EACH SIDE OF THE GYM AND THAT IS SO AMAZING TO HAVE BECAUSE WE CAN PUT UP PRESENTATIONS AND LIKE ON IT AND AT ASSEMBLIES IT'S NICE BECAUSE WE CAN LIKE DIGITALLY PUT UP THE FLAG FOR THE SONG AND THEN NATIONAL ANTHEM AND IT'S JUST REALLY NICE BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN SEE IT ON BOTH ENDS AND WE ALSO HAVE A CAMERA HOOKED UP TO THOSE SCREENS.
SO IF SOMEONE CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE FLOOR, THEY CAN LOOK UP AT THE SCREENS AND THE CAMERAS WILL BE RECORDING WHAT'S HAPPENING LIKE THE GAMES OR IF THERE'S A DANCE GOING ON, WHICH IS REALLY NICE BECAUSE.
[00:50:01]
YEAH. ANOTHER THING THAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL IS THE CAFETERIA AND OR LIKE THE COMMONS, BECAUSE I CAN'T STRESS HOW.THE OLD CAFETERIA JUST WASN'T MY FAVORITE AND IT WAS JUST SO SMALL AND EVERYONE HAD TO GO EAT IN THEIR CARS OR GO JUST SIT ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE BECAUSE NOT BARELY PEOPLE COULD FIT IN THE CAFETERIA AND EAT THEIR LUNCH.
BUT LIKE THE WAY IT IS NOW, IT'S JUST SO OPEN AND THERE'S SO MUCH ROOM TO EAT, LIKE IN THE COMMONS.
AND THEN ON THE SECOND FLOOR LANDING, THERE'S A BUNCH OF TABLES UP THERE WHERE PEOPLE GO AND EAT ALSO, AND THERE'S A BUNCH OF LIKE TWO PERSON TABLES OR JUST LIKE BIG CIRCULAR TABLES.
AND I JUST THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO EAT THEIR LUNCH.
AND I REALLY LIKE IT. SO YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT FUN CHAIR ARRANGEMENTS AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A BIG OPENING WHERE YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND EAT YOUR LUNCH OUT THERE ON NICE DAYS WITH LIKE TABLES.
AND SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUST SIT ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE AND IT'S A LOT BETTER, LIKE I SAID, TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED THAN THE OLD CAFETERIA BECAUSE THE OLD CAFETERIA WAS LIKE COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE OLD BUILDING.
AND IT GOT REALLY HOT WITH LIKE, EVERYBODY PACKED IN THERE WHO WAS TRYING TO EAT LUNCH.
YOU REMEMBER? OH, ONE MORE QUESTION.
SORRY. WHAT CALLIE WAS SAYING ABOUT THE DISPLAY BOARDS AT THE ASSEMBLIES AND STUFF.
IT'S ON BOTH SIDES, AND IT'S AT AN ANGLE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.
AND IT'S VERY CLEAR WITH THE GRAPHICS ON POINTS AND STUFF.
I FEEL PRETTY NEUTRAL ABOUT IT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT DOESN'T REALLY AFFECT US AS STUDENTS BECAUSE YOU JUST KNOW WHAT CLASS YOU'RE GOING TO AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE FOR YOU.
BUT I DON'T THINK IT REALLY AFFECTS US THAT MUCH.
AND ON EVERY OUTSIDE OF EVERY CLASSROOM, THERE'S A LIST OF WHO'S IN THIS ROOM.
DURING THAT PERIOD, DURING EACH PERIOD, THERE'S A LIST OF THE TEACHER IN THAT ROOM.
SO IT'S PRETTY HELPFUL FOR US TO KNOW WHO'S WHERE AND WHEN.
YEAH, THEY'VE MADE IT PRETTY EASY FOR US.
I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THERE'S A DELAY IN OR DECREASE IN EDUCATIONAL MINUTES DUE TO TEACHERS HAVING TO COME IN AND OUT OF CLASSROOMS AND BRING MATERIAL IN AND OUT OF CLASSROOMS? I DON'T REALLY THINK SO.
LIKE THERE'S JUST LIKE ALL THE HISTORY TEACHERS ARE IN THE SAME LITTLE WING, AND SINCE THEY TEACH A LOT OF THE SAME SUBJECTS, THEY'RE ABLE TO PUT UP LIKE HISTORY RELATED STUFF ON THE WALL. ALL THE LANGUAGE TEACHERS SHARE THE SAME CLASSROOMS. AND SO THERE'S LIKE DECORATIONS BASED ON THE CULTURE OF THE AREAS THOSE LANGUAGES COME FROM IN THAT CLASSROOM.
IT'S JUST THEY HAVE THEIR OWN PRIVATE LIKE DESK AREA WHERE THEY CAN GO TO WORK WHEN THEY'RE ON THEIR LIKE WORK, PERIOD, NOT ACTIVELY TEACHING. THE ONLY ISSUE I'VE EVER NOTICED THEM HAVING WITH IT WAS THE, OH NO, I HAVE THIS TEACHING MATERIAL IN ANOTHER CLASSROOM, BUT IT'S USUALLY JUST LIKE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE HALLWAY AND PRETTY QUICK TO GRAB.
APPRECIATE IT. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS.
OH, I GUESS I WOULD MAKE ONE MORE THING.
NO, JUST MORE OF HOW CAN YOU GET THE STUDENT BODY TO KNOW HOW TO SUBMIT? WOW. YEAH.
YOU GO TELL THEM THEY'RE LEAVING THE DARKNESS.
WOW. FACE THEM AROUND THE ROOM.
[00:55:01]
IS THERE NOT A. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.WELL, I INTERPRETED IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.
AND THE FACT THAT THEY WERE SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT QUITE THE APPROPRIATE.
AND SO I THINK THEY WERE SAYING THEY JUST DON'T HAVE A BIG A NEED TO PUT THINGS ON THE BIG BOARD.
THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO PROMOTE EVENTS AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GET THOSE EVENTS UP ON THE BOARD, WHICH TO ME SOUNDS LIKE AN ISSUE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LET THEM DO OTHER. ALL RIGHT.
WE JUST ASKED THEM LIKE, HOW DO THEY GET IT UPDATED? AND THEY JUST DIDN'T. SO MAYBE JUST THAT WAS THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW THEMSELVES THEN PERSONALLY, BUT THEIR LEADERSHIP TEACHER MIGHT KNOW OR.
I THINK IT'S TWO SEPARATE THINGS.
THE THING IS, ALL THREE OF THOSE KIDS ARE ON LEADERSHIP.
THEY DIDN'T END UP IN THIS ROOM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT 4.0 STUDENTS.
IF THEY DON'T KNOW, NOBODY KNOWS.
I GUESS THAT TRUE IS THAT'S IF YOU WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW.
HOW TO SUBMIT THINGS TO THE SCHOOL TO PROMOTE THEIR EVENTS OR WHATEVER.
WELL, I REMEMBER US HAVING THIS CONVERSATION TWO AND A HALF, THREE YEARS AGO ABOUT HAVING TVS EVERYWHERE INSTEAD OF HAVING HAVING POSTERS POSTED ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND I THINK THAT THE KIDS SHOULD LEARN HOW TO DO DIGITAL CREATION AND USE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS PLACED IN THE SCHOOL RATHER THAN JUST RESORTING BACK TO PUTTING GETTING POSTER PAINT ON BUTCHER PAPER.
CREATION REQUIRES A WHOLE DIFFERENT SKILL.
I DISAGREE. WELL, THAT'S OKAY.
THAT'S GOOD, THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY'RE LEARNING A SKILL.
I DISAGREE. IT BUILDS COMMUNITY.
IT'S WAY BETTER INTERACTION AMONGST THE KIDS.
AND THOSE KIDS WERE ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
AND IT BUILT SUCH A SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ABSOLUTELY STRUGGLE WITH AS A COMMUNITY NOW IS WITH THE PHONES AND THE STARING AT THIS ALL THE TIME THAT'S GETTING LOST. AND THAT'S, I THINK, AN IMPORTANT PART OF BEING IN A SCHOOL.
YOU KNOW, A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL WITH 1300 KIDS IS YOU SHOULD BE BUILDING SOME SENSE OF COMMUNITY.
THAT'S APPLICABLE. AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO.
ALL THOSE DEMOGRAPHICS. AND NO MATTER WHAT, IT HAS TO LOOK DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT USED TO LOOK LIKE.
IT'S JUST DEFINING WHAT THE NEW, DIFFERENT WHAT THE NEW DIFFERENT IS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A HALL ANYMORE.
IT'S OKAY IF IT'S A HUGE HALLWAY, LIKE IF THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR.[INAUDIBLE] UM, IT'S FAIRLY EXCEPTIONAL.
IF YOU HAVE FLEXIBLE FURNITURE, YOU CAN HAVE A FLEXIBLE MODE OF TEACHING.
SO THE SCIENCE ROOMS WOULD BE THE ONES, I'D SAY PUT AN ADJUSTABLE WALL MOUNT BEHIND THAT SCREEN SO THAT ONE CLASSROOM, YOU CAN GO A LITTLE BIT UP IF STUDENTS NEED A SEEING DOWN, BUT IN THE ROOMS WITH FLEXIBLE FURNITURE.
THE FURNITURE ACCOMMODATES ANY OF THOSE NEEDS, SO YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO DO THAT.
BUT NO, IT'S REALLY COMMON THAT.
AND SOMETIMES IT IS EXPECTED BECAUSE YOU CHANGE THE USE OF THE ROOM.
YOU SAID THAT PROGRAM USED TO BE THERE.
NOW THIS PROGRAM IS AND SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
BUT YEAH, A LOT OF WHEN I TOURED THE SCHOOL, WHAT I LOOK FOR IS THINGS IN PILES ARE INDICATORS OF ISSUES WITH THE BUILDING, JUST PILES BECAUSE IT'S MAINLY STORAGE AND NOT HAVING ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE STORAGE.
[01:00:04]
APPROPRIATELY BECAUSE STUDENTS OR OCCUPANTS WON'T CHANGE THE FURNITURE IN THE SPACE IF IT SUITS THEM.BUT IF THEY GO IN AND THEY SAY, I DON'T SEE MYSELF IN THIS SPACE, THEY'LL MOVE THE FURNITURE.
AND WE DO THAT IN OUR HOMES AS WELL, WHERE I HAVE SEEN THAT.
THE BREAK ROOMS. THOSE ARE THE AREAS I'M LIKE, THERE MIGHT BE SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR THE UNDERUTILIZED.
FURNITURE AND BREAK ROOMS AND STAFF COMMON SPACES TO MAYBE BE DISPERSED INTO ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE UNDER FURNISHED LIKE SOME OF THE OFFICES YOU THERE ARE SOME OFFICES THAT DON'T REALLY HAVE GUEST CHAIRS AND THERE ARE SOME BREAK ROOMS WITH CHAIRS AND STACKS.
AND SO USUALLY I GO COMPATIBLE.
COMMUNITY IN SCHOOLS, WHICH IS A NONPROFIT THAT JUST OCCUPIES SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING.
AND WE I STOOD THERE IN HER OFFICE WHILE SHE WAS WHILE I WAS TALKING TO HER.
SO WE HAD THE OPTION OF BOTH STANDING THERE AND TALKING TO EACH OTHER OR ONE SITTING AND ONE STANDING, WHICH IS STILL RELATIVELY AWKWARD IN SMALL OFFICES, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING LIKE THIS. AND SO I WAS GOING TO SAY IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO TAKE A WALK AROUND THE BUILDING BEFORE SCHOOL ENDS AND KIND OF IDENTIFY THE FURNITURE THAT HAS KIND OF BEEN MARGINALIZED, UNDERUTILIZED AND CAPTURE IT AND PUT IT IN THE AREAS THAT.
THAT DOES NOT RESOLVE STORAGE ISSUES.
YOU KNOW, WITH THE BOXES OF SWAG AND THE BOXES OF PAPER AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS I SAW IN AREAS.
BUT AT LEAST IT GETS PEOPLE FUNCTIONING A LITTLE BIT HAPPY BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY'LL END UP WITH A BONUS, LIKE AN UNDERUTILIZED LOUNGE CHAIR ENDS UP IN SOMEONE'S OFFICE FOR THE BENEFIT. YOU KNOW, THEY NEED A BIG COZY CHAIR BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS HAVE STUDENTS COMING IN TO CRY, YOU KNOW? SO IT'S LIKE SOMETIMES THERE'S POSITIVE THINGS THAT COME OUT OF IT, EVEN IF YOU'RE LIKE, NO ONE GETS LOUNGE FURNITURE IN THEIR OFFICES.
BUT. THAT WOULD JUST BE A REALLY INTERESTING EXERCISE TO DO BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE OR BEFORE PEOPLE GET MARRIED TO THE CONCEPT OF HAVING STACKS OF FURNITURE IN THE CORNERS OF THE ROOM. BECAUSE PEOPLE DO.
AND SO YOU KIND OF HAVE TO PLAY THIS DELICATE GAME, BUT.
TIMING WISE, IT'S WORKING OUT REALLY WELL.
THEY'VE LIVED IN IT. THEY SEEM COMFORTABLE IN IT LIKE WEEK TO WEEK.
I'M NOT SEEING THE BUILDING CHANGE.
AND BUT LATELY, THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE BUILDING REALLY JUST LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALIVE.
LIKE IT'S THE MOST. I LOVE IT.
YOU CAN'T JUST SAY FREE GAME, PUT UP WHATEVER YOU WANT BECAUSE THAT'S A WAY TO RUIN YOUR BUILDING REAL FAST, YOU KNOW? SO I THINK THAT THIS IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE APPROACH, EVEN THOUGH IT'S DRAWING FOR THEM, YOU KNOW, TO SAY NOTHING AND THEN GRADUALLY MOVE IN.
BUT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO POLICY, TOO.
I MEAN, IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH DAMAGE THEY DID TO THE WALLS.
SO SUPER UGLY ARTWORK DIRECTLY ON THE WALLS.
I'VE SEEN IT FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS AND THEY ALWAYS DO A REALLY GOOD JOB.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS I MEAN, MAYBE THERE WAS LESS CARE OF WHAT THEY PUT UP, BUT THEY DEFINITELY DIDN'T DO A LESS OF A JOB OF THEIR DECORATING OR MORE OF A JOB OF THEIR DECORATING BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO GO TO A NEW SCHOOL.
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SOME YEARS THAT WERE THAT CRUSHED LAST YEAR.
YEAH. YOU KNOW, IN YEARS PAST.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO DO BOTH, THOUGH.
DIGITAL GRAPHIC DESIGN CLASSES LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE.
YOU KNOW, SO TO EXPECT STUDENTS TO DO THAT REALLY NATURALLY ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
[01:05:04]
TWIST THEIR ARM BECAUSE IT'S AN ASSIGNMENT.YOU KNOW, SO IT'S LIKE YOU JUST KIND OF HAVE TO.
AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE KIND OF IN AMERICANA WHERE.
SHORT TERM TEMPORARY DECORATIONS.
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THEY'RE NOT ASKING TO PIN AWARDS TO THE WALL OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
FOR A WEEK OR SO PERIODICALLY.
WIPE OUT WITH PAPER, SORRY, AND PROMOTE THE ASP WHO'S RUNNING FOR ASP OFFICE.
I MEAN, THAT HAPPENS FOR LIKE LITERALLY 25, 22 DAYS.
IT HAPPENS FOR A MONTH BEFORE THEY DO THE, YOU KNOW, THE BALLOTS, WHATEVER AND IT'S OVER.
[INAUDIBLE] . WELL, I THINK TO YOUR POINT EARLIER, LIKE.
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT OR IT'S NOT A THING THAT HAS TO GO AWAY IN THE NEW BUILDING.
IT'S JUST FIGURING OUT HOW TO.
FIT THE NEW PEG INTO THE NEW HOLE, RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO DO THE POSTER AND THE HALLWAY DECORATING? FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN THE NEW.
LIKE YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING TO THAT DEGREE.
YOU CAN'T. WELL, IT COULD BE DESIGNATED AREA.
YOU COULD PUT UP. WE DO SOME TRIALS OF SOME.
SECURITY, BUT THEY DIDN'T ENGAGE ON.
IT'S KIND OF A HARD TIME FOR SECURITY BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS NOT TECHNICALLY.
WELL, WE'RE DOING AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT DESIGNED AS INTENDED, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE EVEN AS A STRANGER THAT WALKS IN THE BUILDING, I ALWAYS FEEL WEIRD, LIKE I SHOULDN'T BE THERE, EVEN THOUGH I NEED TO GO TO THE OFFICE ONLY BECAUSE, LIKE, NO ONE STOP ME, YOU KNOW, LIKE I'M JUST WALKING IN.
AND IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR THIS.
I DO THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO WAIT UNTIL THE THINGS OPERATING FRONT END IS DONE.
IT'S NOT HOW IT'S GOING TO BE.
RIGHT. ALTHOUGH TO DO THIS WHILE A PHASED CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.
AT THE LEVEL THAT IT WILL BE AT AT THE END.
SO IT'S NOT REALLY FAIR TO EVEN IT'S WAY BETTER THAN IT WAS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
I TRIED AND I HAD TO GO, YEAH, THIS ONE.
GO OVER TO THIS ONE. I THINK THE SECURITY IS AN ADULT ISSUE, NOT A KID ISSUE.
I GUESS VERY FEW OF THEM THINK THEY DON'T.
YEAH, I DON'T WANT MY KID WORRIED ABOUT THAT.
THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT IS A POSITIVE.
THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT A CONCERN MEANS THAT IT'S DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO.
YEAH. WELL, IT'S NOT EVEN DOING IT.
IT'S NOT EVEN HOVERING CORRECTLY YET.
WELL, THE ONES THAT. EVEN WITH THAT, SHE FEELS EXPONENTIALLY SAFER.
YEAH. RIGHT. AND THAT'S NOT AT FULL CAPACITY YET, SO.
KIND OF BEYOND OBVIOUS, RIGHT? THE EXPERIENCE THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WANT THEM WORRIED ABOUT.
NOT RIGHT. IT'S THERE, BUT NOT IN YOUR FACE VOCAL, RIGHT? YOU'RE GOING TO THE AIRPORT GETTING SCREENED THROUGH AND SCANNED AND.
RIGHT. I MEAN, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANT, RIGHT? YOU WANT THE FUN, HAPPY HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.
BUT THE SAFETY FEATURES ARE THERE TO PROTECT YOU, RIGHT? IN SPITE OF NOT BLATANT, I'M ENCOURAGED THAT THEIR BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY CAN'T PUT.
YEAH, IT'S A GOOD SPOT TO BE IN.
HONESTLY. IT IS. IT REALLY IS.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THEM TO LEAD WITH THAT.
BUT NONETHELESS AND STAY ON IT FOR A LITTLE BIT LEFT A LITTLE BIT.
MAYBE $140 MILLION WAS NOT SPENT ON A BILLBOARD.
EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE COULD HAVE BEEN LEADING FACTOR.
ALL RIGHT. THE LEADING FACTOR.
[01:10:01]
BUT ANYWAY.ARE WE DOING A STAFF PORTION, TOO.
OR JUST THE STUDENTS? NO STAFF PORTION OF THIS STAFF AND STUDENTS? I KNOW. OKAY.
I THINK WE JUST CHECKED. OH, THAT'S FINE.
OH, WE DO HAVE COOKING OR THE.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, GREAT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE FUNDING PIECE, WHICH I THINK.
[INAUDIBLE] I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I PROBABLY ASKED ABOUT THE PROJECTION SYSTEM IN THE PAC.
YES, ABOUT THAT TOO. BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE OTHER PART.
OKAY. I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT ME.
NO, WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF NO.
SO THAT'S WHY ACTUALLY WE'RE JUMPING ON TOP OF IT.
TAMMY'S LIKE, THAT'S A BIG PORTION OF SHE'S ON THAT.
AND I SAW THAT YOU'RE DOING IT LIKE.
AS ALL THE PAY APPS COME IN THEN.
SO ONCE WE'VE SPENT OUR PORTION OF THE FUNDS IN THAT ACCOUNT BEFORE YOU CAN DO THE O IN THAT LINE ITEM, YOU HAVE TO EXHAUST YOUR BOND FUNDING IN THAT LINE ITEM BEFORE YOU CAN START GOING INTO REIMBURSABLES, I BELIEVE.
SO. LIKE YOU TAKE A PERCENTAGE DRAW OUT OF.
OH YEAH. IT'S LIKE IN ALL OF THE INDIRECT COSTS, IT'S ON THE.
MOVE MONEY AROUND BETWEEN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE STATE MATCH.
THAT BECAME AN ISSUE. I REMEMBER THAT DISCUSSION SEVERAL TIMES.
YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK YOU HAVE TO SHOW.
WELL, ARE YOU JUST BILLING AGAINST THE GMP LINE ITEM AT THIS POINT? ON THE SCOUT FUNDING OR IS IT KIND OF.
TRANSLATION TAMMY'S A ROCK STAR.
WOO HOO! WE NEED TO RAISE MONEY.
HOPEFULLY YOU DIDN'T CREATE THIS ENTIRE THING JUST FOR US.
[01:15:04]
IF IT'S NOT A, YOU KNOW DON'T RECREATE THE WHEEL OBVIOUSLY BUT YOU'RE CREATING ENOUGH THIS.SO EACH APPLICATION HAS TO GO THROUGH VERY MULTIPLE LEVELS OF REVIEW.
SO THE FIRST PLACE IT GOES IS TO THE ARCHITECT AND MYSELF.
AND SO ANY TIME A PERCENTAGE LOOKS OUT OF WHACK, WE'RE MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR SAYING, HEY, WHY IS THIS PERCENTAGE LOOK INEQUIVALENT TO WHAT'S BEEN DONE.
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE A LITTLE BIT DECEPTIVE.
LIKE GOOD EXAMPLE, THERE WAS JUST A COUPLE OF CLASSROOMS WITH SOME CARPET IN THE CTE WING.
BUT HE WAS FORGETTING THAT ONE CONTRACTOR WAS ONLY DOING THE CARPET.
SO EACH MONTH, THEN THE ARCHITECT AND MYSELF KIND OF REVIEW EACH LINE ITEM AS TO HOW MUCH THEY'RE BILLING FOR AND IF IT REFLECTS WHAT THEY'VE COMPLETED, THEN IT GOES FROM US.
IT GOES TO HIDEY HIDEY REVIEWS IT AND THEN IT ACTUALLY GOES ACROSS MARK'S DESK.
SO IT'S HAD FOUR SET OF EYES ON IT BY THE TIME IT MAKES IT TO TAMMY.
AND SO IT WOULD BE IT'S MORE OF A.
SO REALLY, IT'S JUST GETTING THE DOCUMENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, EXIST AND ARE LOGGED EVERY MONTH.
JUST GETTING THAT INTO TAMMY'S HANDS AND THAT WOULD BE AUDIT READY, RIGHT? SO BUT IN TODAY'S WORLD, IT'S SO WELL DOCUMENTED.
YOU KNOW, I COULD IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME PRODUCE ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS.
I MEAN, I HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE.
STUFF. PROJECTION SYSTEM AT THE PAC.
ANY UPDATE ON THAT FROM I THINK IT WAS TALKED ABOUT LAST MONTH.
WELL, THE UPDATE ON THE ENTIRE PACK, NOT JUST THE PROJECTION.
MAYBE WE'LL JUST COVER THAT WHEN WE GET INTO.
OUT IN THE ETHER. AND I KNOW YOU HAD A MEETING AFTER A MEETING LAST MONTH.
AND SO JUST UPDATE ON KIND OF WHERE.
WE'RE SITTING CONTINGENCY WISE AND HOW COMFORTABLE WE'RE FEELING ABOUT.
STUFF? WELL, I'M STILL FEELING GUARDEDLY OPTIMISTIC.
A LOT OF THINGS HAVE GONE IN OUR FAVOR.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE CARRIED, THAT HAZMAT CONTINGENCY, YOU KNOW, IN AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE DISCOVERED THE ASBESTOS IN THE ROOFING ON THE PACK, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE $214,000 WORTH OF REMOVAL.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LIKE 75 TO 100,000IN THE GOOD ON THAT.
SORRY, I'M STRUGGLING WITH MY VOICE A LITTLE BIT.
[01:20:06]
IN THE PACK AND THE STAGE LIGHTING PACKAGE.SHE CAN MEET WITH MARK AND MAKE THE FINAL DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT WORK.
SO JUST CURIOUS, EXPECTED TIMELINE LIKE BEFORE NEXT MEETING, ALL THAT MIGHT TAKE PLACE? YES, CORRECT.
AND SO LAST WEEK, I ACTUALLY MET WITH MORE OF SENIOR LEADERSHIP AT CORNERSTONE WHO THEN IN TURN THE OWNERSHIP OF CORNERSTONE REACHED OUT TO THE SUBCONTRACTOR WHO'S THE PROBLEM, AND HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THEIR OWNER.
SO I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL GET AN ANSWER THIS WEEK.
AND SO AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY MEETING, WE LOOK AT MARCUS AND SAY, WHERE ARE THE NUMBERS? WHERE ARE WE AT? SO I'M ANXIOUS TO GET THE NUMBERS.
SO. IF IT'S ANY HELP WE ARE PRESENTING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD THE WEEK AFTER NEXT MONTH'S MEETING.
WELL, AND WE WOULD RELAY NUMBERS, BUT WE WOULD RELAY A MORE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE OR WE WOULD BE ABLE TO I WOULD LIKE TO RELAY THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION RATHER THAN.
I FEEL LIKE WE THINK WE'RE FEELING PRETTY OPTIMISTIC.
YOU KNOW. WELL, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE EXERCISES WE WENT THROUGH KIND OF BASED ON A DISCUSSION WITH MARK, WHERE WE WERE AT, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS ACTUALLY PRICED AND WHAT IS STILL A PROJECTION.
AND SO WE HAVE X'S IN THE ACTUAL ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SPREADSHEET AT THE BOTTOM.
WE HAVE THOSE ADDITIONAL ITEMS IN THE PACK THAT ARE STILL BEING PRICED.
SO WE'RE DOWN TO JUST LIKE 3 OR 4 ITEMS TO GET PRICED.
AND SO WE SHOULD BE REALLY CLOSE.
WAS THERE ANYTHING LEFT MINUS THE DEMO OF CTE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY POSE A NEW UNFORESEEN THAT WE HAVEN'T ANTICIPATED UP TO THIS POINT? OR ARE WE RUNNING OUT OF UNFORESEEN? NOW THAT WE'RE PAST THE WELL, WE DID COMPLETE THE FINAL UNDERGROUND STORE DETENTION SYSTEM, POD SECTION AND THERE WAS NO OVER THERE. SO THAT THAT WAS GOING TO GIVE US ABOUT STRUGGLING WITH THE NUMBER 150 SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
THAT WAS KIND OF A DEAL. I WORKED OUT WITH CORNERSTONE EARLY ON TO JUST KEEP THAT EARMARKED.
SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET ABOUT 150 GRAND BACK ON THAT.
THAT I BELIEVE WILL BE INCLUDED IN NEXT WEEK'S OR NEXT MONTH'S UPDATE.
YEAH, SO THAT'S A BIG CHUNK OF THE PAC FUNDING.
YEAH, WELL, AND THEN WE'RE STILL KIND OF HOLDING SOME RELIEF VALVES SO WE CAN REALLY THE FOCUS IS TO GET THE THEATER EQUIPMENT, YOU KNOW, SO WE'VE KEPT THOSE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST SO WE CAN COME THROUGH ON THOSE PROMISES BECAUSE WE FELT LIKE THOSE WERE REALLY IMPORTANT.
SO. HOW DID THE PROJECTION SYSTEM AT THE PAC GET ON THE.
DID I ASK ABOUT THAT? RIGHT AFTER THE SCAP FUNDING, YOU ASKED ABOUT THE PROJECTION.
[01:25:08]
OKAY. BECAUSE I JUST MAYBE MAYBE YOU TALKED ABOUT IT, TOO.BUT I REMEMBER GOING TO THE FRESHMAN ORIENTATION LAST SEPTEMBER, AND THEY HAD A BIG OLD YOU KNOW, THEY HAD A PROJECTOR SITTING THERE, A TEMPORARY PROJECTOR, BUT IT WAS FILLING THE WHOLE SCREEN.
AND I WAS SITTING IN THE BACK ROW.
WELL, THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING IF THE CURRENT WAY WAS WAS FINE.
I THINK MONEY'S IN THE BUDGET CONVERSATION.
I THINK WE'LL PROJECT THE PROJECTOR SYSTEM INTO THE PROJECTION FOR THE PAC.
WHAT DID YOU SAY, RILEY? I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT PART OF THE.
OH, I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT.
OKAY. I THINK WE SKIPPED OVER THAT LINE ITEM.
OKAY. WE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING A.
NEXT MEETING ON THE CONTINGENCY KIND OF CONVERSATION.
WILL HELP ME TALK TO THE SCHOOL BOARD THE FOLLOWING WEEK.
THERE ONE NEXT WEEK IS THE LONG ONE.
OH, RAH RAH. IT'S ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NOW.
SO THAT'S THE STUDENT PORTION OF THAT THEY'RE DOING TONIGHT.
AND THE STAFF WE DID LAST NIGHT.
SO IT'LL BE A MORE CONDENSED PROGRAM AT THE BOARD MEETING.
DID THAT HAPPEN? I SAW IMAGES ON FACEBOOK OF THE FIRST ANNUAL RETIREMENT CELEBRATION.
LIKE, WHERE WAS THAT? HERE? OH. YEAH.
MHM. [INAUDIBLE] I WAS JUST DOWN THERE AND WALKED RIGHT PAST IT.
ANYWAY, LET'S MOVE ON. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON.
[4. NEW BUSINESS]
OKAY. NEW BUSINESS.GET INTO THE. FUNDING REPORT AND YOU CAN START WITH THE PAC BUDGET.
PAC BUDGET. SO BEYOND WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT? WELL, SOME PROJECTORS AND SOME WHERE? I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT WHERE WE ARE WITH POTENTIALLY HAVING SOME MONEY TO DO ALL THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO.
IS THERE ANYTHING BEYOND THAT? NOPE. SO QUESTION THEN WHY ARE WE SPENDING $200,000 ON SIGNAGE ON THE STADIUM WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY PROBABLY KNOW HOW TO GET THERE AND WHAT IT IS? WE DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE MONEY FOR THE PAC YET.
THERE IS TWO LINE ITEMS. ONE FOR 101,000, ANOTHER ONE FOR 96,000.
THAT GETS REALLY CLOSE TO $200,000.
WHAT PAGE ARE YOU ON? PCO2 85 AND PCO NUMBER 027.
WHAT PAGE ARE YOU ON? UH, I'M ON MY COMPUTER.
THE BOTTOM OF EACH SHEET OF THAT HAS A PAGE NUMBER LISTED.
PERHAPS YOU COULD READ THAT, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. KEN'S TALKING ABOUT THIS.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE STUFF ON THE COMPUTER.
I KNOW. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT'S AT IN HERE.
[01:30:02]
HE'S STILL THE SAME GUY.AND WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE GO DOWN? IT'S 96.
NO. THERE WAS A PCO THAT GOT VOIDED OUT, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING.
BUT DID WE? I GUESS NO MATTER WHAT THE CEO SAYS, I'M REALLY CURIOUS IF WE'RE SPENDING $10,000 ON SIGNAGE FOR THE STADIUM WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE STAND WITH THE PACK YET.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN UNAWARDED GNAGE.
IT MIGHT BE AN UNAWARDED ITEM.
SIGNAGE WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE FOR THE STADIUM.
THAT WAS PART OF THE PLAN THAT WAS ALWAYS TO HAVE A SIGN THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS MAY NOT BE ACTUAL CHANGE ORDER, THIS MAY HAVE BEEN MONEY THAT WAS ALREADY PUT INTO THAT BUCKET ORIGINALLY. AND EVEN IF IT'S COMING THROUGH AS A CHANGE, IT WAS PART OF THE.
PLAN. THERE WAS ALWAYS A PLAN FOR SIGNAGE AT THE STADIUM.
WELL, YOU COULD MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY COULD FIGURE THAT OUT ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT HAVING A SIGN.
TELL THEM THAT IT MIGHT BE THE HIGH SCHOOL.
DO WE ACTUALLY NEED ANYTHING? DO WE NEED A SCHOOL BUILDING? WE ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW.
A LITTLE OFF TOPIC. IS THIS I MEAN, FROM WHAT YOU SAW, IS IT A CHANGE OR IS IT? IT'S ASSIGNED TO OWNER RISK CONTINGENCY.
ACCORDING TO IS IT DEDUCTION OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT VALUE? AND THEN ADDING IN A CHANGE THOUGH, LIKE IS THAT HOW THEY'RE RUNNING THIS, THE CHANGE ORDER SYSTEM? BECAUSE THEY MIGHT BE.
TO 85, WHICH WAS THE 101 FOR THE SIGNAGE.
ORIGINALLY IT WAS A CHANGE ORDER ORIGINALLY.
CORRECT. SO THAT THAT ALSO CONFUSED ME IN THE ONE MEETING WITH CORNERSTONE.
BUT THAT'S THE ONE THAT GOT CANCELED OUT.
AND THEN WE REPLACED IT WITH THE FINAL NUMBER OF THE 101.
SO IT'S 101 FOR THE SIGNAGE OF THE GRANDSTANDS.
IT'S 101 FOR THE GRANDSTAND SIGNAGE.
SO WHAT'S THE 90 THE ADDITIONAL 96,000 FOR SIGNAGE.
THAT'S ONE THAT GOT VOIDED OUT.
OKAY. SO IT'S NOT A TOTAL OF 200,000? NO, JUST THE 101,000.
STILL SEEMS LIKE A LOT, BUT MORE UNDERSTANDABLE THAN 200.
AND JUST SO I CAN FOLLOW UP ON THAT, GIVE ME THOSE NUMBERS YOU HAD AGAIN.
YEAH, FORWARD IT TO ME, WOULD YOU? THINGS FELT SO FAR.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S PRICED AGAINST.
I DON'T MEAN TO FOLLOW UP. PR 23 IS THE ONE THAT WAS VOIDED.
THOSE ARE ALL IN THE SAME PIECE.
I MEAN, MARK, YOU TALK ABOUT FACILITY BEING STERILE, DRY, HAVING NO SIGNAGE.
THIS IS THE GUY WHO WANTS A PROJECTOR SYSTEM FOR THE PAC.
NO, I ACTUALLY DON'T. NO, HE SAID HE DOESN'T NEED A PROJECTOR.
HE DID. NOW WE'RE GOOD WITHOUT IT.
YEAH, THAT WAS A GOOD QUESTION THOUGH.
I SAW THAT ONE TOO. I WAS LIKE, OH MAN, 100,000 FOR THAT.
[01:35:01]
I SAID THE SAME THING.REALLY? IT WAS 200. WELL, ONE WAS AN ORIGINAL AND ONE WAS A REPRISE.
REPRISE, REALLY? ALL RIGHT. AND WHAT IS AN IDF FOR THE PACK? SO YOU'VE GOT THE DATA ROOMS IN A BUILDING.
SO YOU HAVE THE MAIN DATA ROOM.
BRIAN'S WORLD. I DON'T REMEMBER.
THAT'S WHY YOU EXPLAINED IT AND DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT'S RIGHT.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS. INTERMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION FRAME.
THERE YOU GO. SO, AS USUAL, I'M NOT CONSTRUCTION, SO $75,000 FOR A PACK.
YEAH, BUT YOU'RE STILL SPENDING OVER A HALF MILLION IN CONTROLS.
OH, YEAH, THAT'S A RACK, DUDE.
THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUBJECT.
THAT WOULD BE A VERY SEXIST COMMENT WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
JUST. YEAH, BECAUSE I ASSUME THE PACK DID NOT HAVE AN IDEA ROOM.
IT HAS TO BE. IT ACTUALLY DID, BUT IT'S HOUSED IN AN ELECTRICAL ROOM THAT HAD SOME LEAKING ISSUES, BUT THE LOCATION DOESN'T SERVE THE ENTIRE PACK.
SO IF YOU WALK IN THE LOBBY OF THE PACK, YOU CAN BARELY USE YOUR WI-FI.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE LOBBY AND YOU GO TO THE LEFT, THERE'S THE FIRST CLASSROOM THERE.
AND THEN IN THE BACK OF THAT CLASSROOM, THERE'S A SMALL OFFICE.
IT'S GOING TO GO THERE. SO IT WILL BROADCAST TO THE PACK OR TO THE AUDITORIUM BETTER.
AND SO THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT WAS, I THINK, GOING TO HAPPEN WHETHER THIS JOB EXISTED OR NOT.
SO. THAT COULD INCLUDE RECABLING, TOO.
I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE THE IDF, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO.
WELL, AND YOU ALSO HAVE TO CONDITION THE SPACE.
SO IT NEEDS AN AIR CONDITIONER.
SO A BIG PART OF THE COST IS ADDING MITSUBISHI SPLIT UNIT TO GO IN THE ROOM TO KEEP THE RAT COOL.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON? CHANGE ITEMS SINCE WE'RE.
I'M GOOD FOR NOW. GOOD FOR NOW.
HAVE YOU SEEN CAN ANY ISSUES COME UP WITH THE PRE BUILDING? THUS FAR. YOU MEAN IN THE CTE WING? YEAH. THERE WERE A FEW ITEMS WE AS FAR AS I GUESS MY LET ME GET MORE SPECIFIC.
I THINK I ASKED THIS LAST MONTH, TOO, BUT.
RIGHT. IS THAT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THE CTE SPACE? NO. SO IN THE CTE LABS, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A UNISTRUT HANGING SYSTEM IN CONTRACT.
AND SO THERE'LL BE A COMPLETE GRID.
WE MIGHT BUMP IT UP A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
BUT THERE IS A COMPLETE GRID THAT'S OVER THOSE SPACES.
SO AND THAT'S IN THE METAL SHOP, TOO.
SO. AND THEN THE MECHANICAL MEZZANINE IS PER PLAN.
SO. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO POUR ON FRIDAY, BUT IT DID NOT.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY OR TODAY.
HOW ABOUT THE INTERFACE AT THE EXISTING BUILDING? ISN'T IT A. BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BE TIED PERMANENTLY TOGETHER.
IT HAS TO BE LIKE A THERE'S A FIREWALL, A FIREWALL.
YEAH. AND THEN BETWEEN THE CORRIDOR AND THE CTE, THERE'S A FIRE BREAK THERE.
CORRECT. BASICALLY, YOU HAVE A THREE WAY.
FOOD BECAUSE THE MAIN BUILDING NOT HOOKED TO THE GYM.
[01:40:03]
CORRECT. AND. NEITHER IS HOOKED TO THE CTE.CORRECT. AND SO THAT I MEAN, THAT'S GOING TO BE A CRITICAL WATER.
LIKE IT'S GOT A DOUBLE PARAPET WITH A.
IT'S GOT THE FIREWALL GOES ON BOTH SIDES AND HAS A PARAPET WITH A BOOT AND A CAP.
AND THERE'S THERE'S ACTUALLY I INCLUDED A PICTURE OF THAT WALL IN THE REPORT.
SO THE ONLY REASON I KNOW IS I TRIED TO CHANGE IT IN ABOUT 17 DIFFERENT TIMES.
SOMETHING A LITTLE EASIER TO CONSTRUCT.
SEE THAT ASSEMBLY? SPEAKING OF THAT, I THOUGHT THE TOUR OF THE NEW.
CTE BUILDING WAS PRETTY COOL THAT THEY POSTED ON YOUTUBE THE OTHER DAY.
THE DRONE FLYING THROUGH THE CTE BUILDING.
THERE WERE MANY OF US NOT IMPRESSED.
I'M SURE. WHAT WAS THAT? I THINK KEN WISHES IT WOULD HAVE GONE FASTER.
WE ACTUALLY TRACKED THE INDIVIDUAL DOWN WHO MADE THE VIDEO, AND THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH WE CAN DO.
BUT IF YOU WATCH A VIDEO, HE ALMOST, YOU KNOW, RUNS INTO ONE OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD LIGHTS.
AND IF HE RAN INTO ONE OF THE TOP FOOTBALL FIELD LIGHTS, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.
I DON'T I DON'T KNOW LEGALLY IF THERE'S MUCH THAT CAN BE DONE.
STAFF MEMBER? NO, JUST A RANDOM COMMUNITY MEMBER.
INTERESTING. THAT'S QUITE THE.
NOW, THAT IS. ONE, UNFORTUNATELY, AT SCHOOL.
I MEAN, HE WAS FLYING IT THROUGH THE.
WANT A WINDOW ON A WELL, JOE CAN TELL YOU HOW MUCH.
A WINDOW ON AN EXCAVATOR COST.
DO THEY BREAK ONE? NO, BUT I'M JUST SAYING, IF I MEAN, HE HAD VERY HE HAD A LOT OF NEAR MISSES WHERE HE CAME VERY CLOSE TO ITEMS. IF HE HAD, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX.
SO IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING, THOUGH.
YOU DON'T NEED AN FAA LICENSE.
THERE'S A LOT OF LIKE IT'S PUBLIC PROPERTY.
I MEAN, THERE'S JUST A LOT OF LIKE VARIABLES.
TO KEN'S POINT, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO LITIGATE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAINST SOMEBODY.
THE PHOTOS HE TOOK OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD, THOUGH, WERE AWESOME.
I THOUGHT, DO YOU GUYS SEE HIM? THIS IS THE FERNDALE NEIGHBORS GROUP.
YEAH. WELL, IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE THOSE KIND OF GUYS, THEY JUST LOVE TO POST EVERYTHING.
HE HAS A KILLER OLD FORD TRUCK, THOUGH.
SO. BECAUSE IT'D BE SOMEONE'S INSURANCE.
HIS INSURANCE. THE SCHOOL'S INSURANCE.
WELL, NOT IF HE CRASHES, PICKS UP THE PIECES AND DRIVES AWAY.
HE WOULD NEVER POST THAT VIDEO.
YOU PROBABLY COULD. I COULD PROBABLY FIND IT IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
BUT HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO ASPHALT IN THE FRONT? I WOULD ASK MARK, BUT HE DIDN'T REALLY.
I'M A LITTLE WAYS OUT, SO I'M JUST CURIOUS FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE SCHEDULE.
YEAH, I THINK WE'RE SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST ALREADY ON THE BOOKS WITH GRANITE.
OKAY. SO IT'LL BE IN AUGUST, SO.
AND SEEM TO BE FANTASTIC FOR THE SITE WORK.
WHAT'S THAT? THE WEATHER SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN PRETTY NICE FOR THE WORK THAT BEEN DOING OUTSIDE.
OKAY. WHERE ARE WE? WE ARE OFF TRACK.
WE WERE ON THE COST MANAGEMENT REPORT.
YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ON PCO STUFF BEFORE? AND LET LET KEN GO THROUGH HIS REPORT.
OKAY. SO THE MAIN NEW BUILDING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION OF THE PUNCH LIST IS ONGOING.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY 75% COMPLETE, WHICH IT WAS EXACTLY 75% LAST MONTH.
HOWEVER, THE REASON THAT NUMBER DIDN'T CHANGE IS WE'VE ADDED A LOT OF MECHANICAL ITEMS THERE.
[01:45:03]
AND THEN THE OTHER REASON IS WE'VE KIND OF STALLED AND WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR SCHOOL TO GET OUT, TO GO IN AND DO OUR FINAL WALK THROUGH AND GET THE SUBCONTRACTORS THROUGH.THE COMMISSIONING HAS BEEN GOING GOOD.
WE'RE ABOUT 80% AND STEPHEN WILL BE IN TOWN ON THE 19TH OF JUNE TO KIND OF START HIS FINAL PHYSICAL WALK THROUGH AND THEN HE'LL BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE CLASSROOMS AND FINAL CORRECTIONS WILL BE NOTED AND THEN PERFORMED OVER THE SUMMER.
CLOUDS HAVE BEEN ON HOLD AROUND THE GYM AREA BECAUSE WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THE MATERIALS.
AND THOSE WILL ALSO BE DONE OVER THE SUMMER.
AND WE. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT, KEN.
OKAY. CEILING CLOUDS WERE CHEAPER THAN CEILING TILES.
NO. I? NOT EVEN REMOTELY. I WASN'T IMPRESSED WITH THOSE.
DID YOU SEE? THEY HAVEN'T BEEN INSTALLED YET, HAVE THEY? THEY'RE NOT IN THERE, ARE THEY? SOME OF THEM ARE COMPLETE.
SO NOW DOWN THE MAIN CORRIDOR, THERE'S A LOT OF IT THAT IS COMPLETE.
SO IN THE HALLWAY? YEAH, THE MAIN HALLWAY.
ISN'T THERE SOMETHING TO GO IN THE GYM TO BE, LIKE METAL WAVES? OKAY. BECAUSE THOSE FOR SURE ARE IN THE HALLWAY.
YEAH. SO THEY DON'T GO TO THE SIDE WALL.
THEY LEAVE THAT OPEN SO YOU CAN SEE THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT ABOVE.
LIKE YOU, I'M NOT A FAN, BUT IT'S ALL THE RAGE THESE DAYS.
SO I THOUGHT THE SAME THING AT SEAHOLM.
I HATED IT. BUT THAT'S ALL THE RAGE.
AND SO THAT'S REALLY TYPICAL ACOUSTIC THING.
IS THAT WHAT THERE IS? THE OPPOSITE? NO, IT'S ALL IT'S ESTHETICS.
IT'S VANITY LIKE TO HAVE EXPOSED MECHANICAL THINGS.
IT'S A MODERN DESIGN TREND THAT WE LOVE.
BUT I ALSO HATE IT BECAUSE IT'S EXPENSIVE AND UGLY.
PUT UP A ACOUSTICALLY SOUND DROP CEILING.
BUT THAT'S PART OF THE PART OF THE CONVERSATION WITH THESE.
OUR A TESTAMENT OF THEIR TIME.
INDEED. I BELIEVE I CALLED IT ARCHITECTURAL OPULENCE.
ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
OKAY. DID YOU PUT THAT IN WHEN YOU DID THE VALUE ENGINEERING? DID YOU POINT THAT OUT? I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT I ACTUALLY MARKED UP A LOT OF CEILINGS.
I QUESTIONED THE EXPENSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WOOD CEILINGS THAT WE HAVE.
AGAIN, IT'S AN ITEM THAT I ACTUALLY THINK IS REALLY COOL, BUT IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
AND SO I ACTUALLY THAT WAS ONE OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS WAS TO SCALE BACK ON THE WOOD SCALE.
AND SO ALL OF THOSE FEATURES ADD A LOT OF COST.
SO I DON'T REMEMBER THE ONES IN THE CLOUD.
SO. THE STUDENT STORE IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS, SO THAT'S SUPER COOL.
THE MECHANICAL MEZZANINE IS NOW IN PLACE AND READY FOR THE CONCRETE FLOOR SLAB TO BE POURED.
THE FIREWALL BETWEEN THE CTE WING AND GYM AREA.
I'VE GOT A TYPO THERE I NOTICE.
SO BETWEEN THE CTE WING AND THE GYM AREA IS BEING INSTALLED.
FINAL FINISHES ARE ONGOING AND THE CONCESSIONS WILL BE READY FOR EQUIPMENT SOON.
ASTROTURF IS NOW COMPLETE AND THE SURROUNDING TRACK CURBS ARE PRIMARILY COMPLETE.
THE TRACK SURFACE WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE.
THE PRESS BOX IN THE GRANDSTAND NOW HAS FINISHED WALLS, SO WE'RE GETTING CLOSE IN THAT AREA.
THE LONG JUMP AREA NOW HAS ITS PITS INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE RUNNING SURFACE BASE HAS BEEN LAID AND THE RUBBERIZED RUNNING SURFACE WILL BE INSTALLED IN JUNE ALONG WITH THE TRACK. CTE VILLAGE.
THE GRAVEL WALKING DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL.
OH YEAH? WHAT COLOR IS THE TRACK? I JUST THOUGHT THAT QUESTION IN MY HEAD.
OTHERS MIGHT CALL IT BURNT UMBER, BUT I LIKE TERRACOTTA BETTER.
SO ON THE CTE VILLAGE, A GRAVEL WALKING SURFACES IN THE VILLAGE WERE INSTALLED OVER THE LAST MONTH.
SITE WORK. THE UNDERGROUND STORMWATER DETENTION IS NOW COMPLETE.
THIS WILL ALLOW CREWS TO START PARKING LOT PREPARATIONS IN THE PARK.
THE WORK ON THE NEW CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT WALLS IN THE PARK IS ONGOING AND MAKING PROGRESS.
[01:50:03]
AND WE'VE TRACKED DOWN SOME OLD AS-BUILT DRAWINGS.AND FORTUNATELY WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THERE IS PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT IS THERE.
SO LIKE THE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR ALL OF THE STAGE EQUIPMENT WAS PRETTY WELL SPOT ON.
THE OLD CTE PLANS ARE BEING DEVELOPED TO DEMOLISH THE OLD CTE BUILDING, AS WELL AS HOW TO REFEED UTILITIES TO THE SMALL ENGINE REPAIR SHOP AND STORAGE WAREHOUSE ONCE THE OLD BUILDING IS GONE.
SO WHERE WE LANDED ON THAT IS.
THAT ONE HAS SOME KITCHEN STORAGE.
SO KEEPING THE HEAT IN THERE IS MORE IMPORTANT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY FEED OFF THE NEW LINE AND PUT IN A NEW METER SET.
SO I'VE ALREADY LINED THAT UP WITH CASCADE NATURAL GAS.
SO WE CAN JUST LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS AND IT'LL BE FINE.
AND THEN IN THAT BUILDING WE'LL SWITCH TO JUST FREEZE PROTECTION HEATING.
SO THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE ELECTRIC HEATERS AT A LOWER WATTAGE SO WE CAN KIND OF GET AWAY WITH THAT.
SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH ELECTRICAL AT THE STORAGE AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE RESSNER HEATERS WITH THE NATURAL GAS AND THAT WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO PULL OUT. THERE WAS THE NATURAL GAS LINE THAT WENT TO THE OLD CTE AND IT HAD THAT BIG FENCED AREA IN THE CORNER WITH THE BIG MANIFOLD.
THAT'S ALL GOING TO GO AWAY AND WE'LL BRING IT BACK AND CUT AND CAP IT AT THE MAIN LINE.
SO I THINK WE GOT THAT FIGURED OUT.
SO THEN ON TO NOT MUCH TO TALK ABOUT ON CRITICAL PROJECTS.
THE ONLY THING THEY MENTION IS WE NOW HAVE TAX SERVICES.
IT'S A LOCAL TEST AND BALANCING COMPANY SIGNED UP.
I THINK WE NEED TO GET THE FINAL SIGNED CONTRACT STILL FROM THEM.
SO AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE'VE INSTALLED ALL THE NEW DDC CONTROLS.
SO THAT'S THE BALANCING PART OF IT.
SO AND THEN AS WE MOVE FROM FACILITY TO FACILITY DURING THE NEW CHANGE OUT, THEN WE'LL HAVE TO EVALUATE EACH SCHOOL AS TO WHAT THE BALANCING NEEDS MIGHT BE.
SO I THINK WE'LL NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF CUSTER AS WELL.
WHAT HAS GONE WRONG? ANY. I THINK YOU'D BE PREPARED.
YOU GET THIS QUESTION EVERY MONTH.
LIKE, I TOLD MARK, THIS IS WHAT I DO, SO I DON'T SEE THIS THINGS GOING WRONG.
IT'S JUST WHAT I DO, YOU KNOW? AND THERE'S AN ISSUE AND MAKE SOMETHING UP FOR THE GUY.
YOU RESOLVE IT. WHAT HAVE YOU HAD TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THAT YOU DID NOT INTEND ON HAVING TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR ORIGINALLY? WELL, IN A SERIOUS NOTE, I'D SAY MY FRUSTRATION IS GETTING THE FINAL PRICING FOR THE PACK AND HOPEFULLY BY HAVING THE MEETINGS WITH THE DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP LAST WEEK, WE'RE NUDGING THEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
AND SO I WANT TO CONSIDER THAT'S GOING WRONG, BUT IT IS FRUSTRATING.
SO THERE'S YOUR ANSWER FOR THIS MONTH.
WRITE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER FOR ANYBODY.
[INAUDIBLE] GOOD WORK.
