I KNOW SANDY WON'T BE HERE AND DAN WON'T BE HERE EITHER.
I'M NOT SURE IF TRISTAN WILL BE HERE LATER OR NOT.
NEXT ITEM WOULD BE TO ADOPT THE AGENDA.
UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY EDITS TO MAKE, WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE AGENDA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
>> AGENDA IS ADOPTED AND SAME PROCESS FOR THE MINUTES FROM LAST MONTH.
AGAIN, IF YOU'VE GOT ANY COMMENTS OR ADDITIONS, FEEL FREE TO CHIME IN, OTHERWISE WE'LL ADOPT THOSE AS WRITTEN.
>> IF NOBODY OBJECTS, I WILL ALSO MAKE A MOTION, WE ADOPT THE MINUTES AS WRITTEN.
>> OPPOSED. MOVE ON. PUBLIC COMMENT.
[2. PUBLIC COMMENT]
NOBODY HERE IN THE ROOM FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, I GUESS THIS MIGHT BE THE TIME TO I GUESS SHARE IF ANYBODY HAD ANY INPUT ON THE GRAND OPENING OR TALKED TO ANYBODY THERE, COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, ETC FROM THAT EVENT.>> IT WAS MY FIRST TIME SEEING THE CTE SO I WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH EVERYTHING THEY GOT OUT THERE.
THAT A FANTASTIC FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD FOR A LOT OF KIDS, NOT JUST OUR KIDS, BUT OTHER SCHOOLS AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
IT'S REALLY GREAT FACILITY. EXCELLENT WORK.
I HAD THREE DIFFERENT TEACHERS GRAB ME AND SHOW ME DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY JUST THOUGHT WERE AWESOME AND WE'RE PROUD OF. THAT WAS REALLY COOL.
>> IT FEELS CONNECTED, VERY MUCH CONNECTED.
>> I KNOW. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE BUILDING SOME OF THEIR OWN RACKING FOR STUFF AND JUST REALLY DOING A GOOD JOB OF MAKING IT THERE. NICE WORK ON THAT.
>> I'M GLAD TO SEE MITCH DAVIS GOT ALL OF THE WALL SPACE THAT HE NEEDED FOR EVERY SINGLE BANNER, AND PLAQUE, AND PENNANT, AND TRINKET THAT HE HAS IN HIS POSSESSION, APPARENTLY.
>> SOME THAT WERE ACQUIRED PRIOR TO HIM.
>> HE'S GOING TO NEED TO NEED A THREE YEAR NOTIFICATION PERIOD TO RETIRE JUST SO HE CAN SLOWLY MOVE OUT.
BUT IT LOOKS REALLY COOL. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE ON GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT?
>> ONE OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE KITCHEN IS THAT IT'S VERY TIGHT IN THERE.
I KNOW SPACE IS A PREMIUM BUT WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WORKING IN THERE AND THEY'RE DISTRIBUTING FOOD OUT TO ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS,
[00:05:03]
PEOPLE HAVE TO MOVE SO THEY CAN GET THEIR CARTS PASSED.SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT IF ANOTHER SCHOOL COMES UP WITH A KITCHEN IN IT.
>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I EVER WENT IN THE OLD KITCHEN CAFETERIA.
>> YEAH, I FIGURED I DIDN'T, BUT I'M JUST WONDERING HOW IT COMPARES SIZE-WISE.
I KNOW THEY GOT BASICALLY TWICE THE EQUIPMENT.
>> IT WAS A BIGGER SQUARE FOOTAGE AND PROBABLY LESS EFFICIENT IN ITS USE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO THIS YEAR IS, THAT'S THE CENTRAL KITCHEN TO PRODUCE THE SCRATCH MEALS TO GO OUT TO THE OTHER BUILDINGS, AND IT'S THE KITCHEN FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL, SO YOU'RE DOING TWO PURPOSES, WHICH IS WHERE A LOT OF THE CONFLICT COMES IN.
ACTUALLY, IN PART OF OUR BIG PROJECT NEXT YEAR, ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WE'RE DOING IS LOOKING AT THE WAY THE FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM OPERATES BECAUSE IT REALLY IS YOU CAN'T HAVE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE WORKING IN TWO DIFFERENT PURPOSES AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME KITCHEN.
IT'S NOT LAID OUT FOR THAT. YOU'RE COMPETING FOR FLOOR SPACE, YOU'RE COMPETING FOR COUNTER SPACE, YOU'RE COMPETING FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REEVALUATING HOW DO WE SHIFT THE WORK IN THE FOOD SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND CHANGE OUR PRACTICES TO BE MORE EFFICIENT WITH THE SPACE.
BECAUSE THE OTHER THING THAT'S A BIG ISSUE TOO IS THE STORAGE.
THE STORAGE IS ALL PACKED FULL OF COMMODITIES, AND BULK ITEMS, AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INVENTORY THAT'S TAKEN UP A LOT OF THE SPACE THAT MAKES IT HARD TO OPERATE IN THE CHILL-BOXES AND THE DRY STORAGE, AND WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW DO WE GO TO MORE OF ADJUST IN TIME SPARE DOWN OUR INVENTORY TO BE ABLE TO WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY IN THE SPACE WE HAVE.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE YEAR BASICALLY TALKING TO FOOD SERVICE STAFF, AND TALKING TO SOME CONSULTANTS, AND REVAMPING THAT PROGRAM SO WE CAN RELAUNCH SCRATCH COOKING THE YEAR AFTER IN A MORE EFFICIENT MANNER.
>> I THOUGHT THE CEREMONY WAS AWESOME.
I LOVE THE STRAIGHT APPEAL OF THE NEW FACILITY.
I LOVE LOOKING FROM THAT ROUND-OUT OVER AND SEEING THAT FACILITY.
YOU EVEN GO TO THE DYKEN WEBSITE AND WHAT'S THE TOP OF THERE.
THAT'S THEIR DESIGN ACHIEVEMENT.
ANYWAY, IT WAS GREAT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, FACING THE CANON-LEVERED SECOND FLOOR OF THE LIBRARY.
IT WAS JUST GREAT. WHOEVER DECIDED HOW TO LAY IT OUT, THE CEREMONY AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL, I THOUGHT WAS JUST GREAT.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON PUBLIC COMMENT? WE'LL MOVE ON TO UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM LAST MONTH.
[3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]
LUCKILY, FOR OUR SAKE, THE BOARD HAD A FULL PLATE FOR NEXT WEEK'S MEETING SO THEY ASKED US TO PUSH OUR PRESENTATION TO JULY, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE OUR REPORT IS NOT COMPLETE TO SUBMIT. WHAT'S THAT?>> WE WILL BE PRESENTING IN JULY.
WE AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A BOND MEETING NEXT MONTH, BUT WE'LL HOPEFULLY WORK TO FINALIZE, PARE DOWN THE REPORT IN THE COMING WEEK.
THERE IS A DRAFT COPY FOR EVERYBODY ATTACHED, ALSO IT'S SHARED WITH EVERYBODY.
IF WE DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH IT IN DEPTH TONIGHT.
[00:10:01]
I DO FOR THE SAKE OF THERE BEING PEOPLE HERE TONIGHT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT JUMP ON THERE.I THINK WE'VE ALL OF THE BONES OF THE REPORT, WHAT WE DID, HOW WE GOT HERE, WHAT HAPPENED, HOW IT HAPPENED, WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND THE BIG COMPONENT AT THIS POINT IS REALLY THE CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS PORTION TO FLUSH OUT.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY WANTS TO CHIME IN ON BIG PICTURE TAKEAWAYS THEY HAD FROM THE PROCESS, RECOMMENDATIONS MOVING FORWARD THAT WE CAN ADD AND FLUSH OUT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL.
THEN THERE'S A COUPLE FINANCIAL QUESTIONS THAT I NEED TO ASK MARK ABOUT SO THAT NUMBERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL BEFORE I JUST GOT OFF THAT WE SAVE $1 BILLION OR SOMETHING.
>> SEE, I CAN JUST SAY IT AND I PUT IN THE REPORT, IT BECOMES TRUE.
>> THE NUMBERS ARE, SO THAT [INAUDIBLE] MARK?
>> SWITCHING FROM PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING, JUST LOOKING BACK, THERE WAS CONVERSATION ABOUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND THAT WAS JUST LOOKING AT DOING I THINK THE CTE WING, AND THEN THEY WENT TO CTE AND GYM, SPACE BEING PRE-INCH SO ROUGHLY, I COULDN'T FIND WHAT THE ANTICIPATED COST-SAVINGS OVER STANDARD STEEL FRAME.
>> I RECALL IT BEING FIVE MIL.
>> ROUGHLY AROUND THERE. THOUGHT THAT WAS THE NUMBER WE HAD TALKED ABOUT.
>> I WILL GO THROUGH AND LOOK THROUGH YOUR NUMBERS AND SEE WHAT I CAN VERIFY AND IF I CAN'T FIND ANY BACKUP INFORMATION, I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT.
>> WHERE DID I FIND THAT? THERE WAS A NUMBER SOMEWHERE.
>> I THINK THE MAIN TWO NUMBERS IN THERE THE PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING SWITCH FOR THE GYM CTE AND THEN THE QUESTION ABOUT THE STORM-WATER DRAINAGE I THINK IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE REFERRING TO?
>> WELL, THE STORM-WATER ONE I FOUND AND THAT WAS INITIALLY 538,000, ALTHOUGH IT GOT EATEN UP WITH SOME ESCALATION.
BUT NONETHELESS, IT WAS A SAVINGS AT THE TIME AND YOU WOULD HAVE HAD ESCALATION ON THE OTHER SYSTEM ANYWAY. BUT THAT ONE I DID FIND.
>> THE SITE RELOCATION WAS A BIG ONE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS IN HERE.
BIG IN THE DIFFERENT LOCATION.
>> I DON'T THINK WE TALKED ON A NUMBER.
I THINK WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE PROCESS OF THE DESIGN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THE PROS AND CONS OF EACH.
I THINK WE JUST WROTE IT AS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE.
>> SITE LAYOUT AND SHORTAGE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE WHILE KEEPING EXISTING BUILDINGS OPERATIONAL DURING CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT TEMPORARY STUDENT BUILDING USE.
>> WOULD YOU HAVE A NUMBER FOR THAT?
>> I THINK WE CAN FIND A NUMBER IF WE GO ALL THE WAY OUT.
>> THROUGH THE NOTES IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT UNDER PLANNING, I DON'T THINK THAT HIGHLIGHTED SENTENCES RIGHT AT ALL.
THE CRITICAL NEEDS PROJECTS WAS JUST TAKEN AWAY FROM CORNERSTONE.
THE ARCHITECT AND CSG BASICALLY MANAGED THE CRITICAL NEEDS.
>> CORNERSTONE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
>> THAT'S WHAT THAT REALLY SHOULD SAY.
[00:15:04]
>> YOU WERE DIRECTING THAT WORK?
>> THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME EARLY ON THAT THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT PULLING SOME OF THE CRITICAL MAINTENANCE PIECES BEYOND JUST WATER HEATER RELOCATION OR REPLACEMENT STUFF OUT OF CSG'S UMBRELLA AND INTO THE DISTRICT, AND THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT.
>> IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION FROM US.
>> YEAH. BECAUSE SANDY WANTED US TO DO ALL THAT WORK COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT.
>> WE HAD THE DISCUSSION THAT WE DID NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITIES OF DOING ALL OF IT, BUT WE COULD DO SOME.
>> THERE WERE SOME VALVE REPLACEMENTS STUFF DONE?
>> THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT BASICALLY HAVING THE DISTRICT, ESSENTIALLY PROJECT MANAGE THE THING DIRECTLY.
>> THEY GRABBED THINGS THEY COULD.
BASICALLY WHAT IT CAME DOWN TO IS THE LEGALLY SPEAK.
I THINK I REMEMBER READING THE REPORT RIGHT, CONVERSATIONS WITH ADMINISTRATION AND CAPACITY ALONG WITH LEGAL TALKING TO LEGAL, IT MADE MORE SENSE TO HAVE EVEN IF THERE WAS A COST ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING CSG OVERSEE THAT.
IT ESSENTIALLY PASSED THE RESPONSIBILITY ON TO CSG TO MANAGE THE WORK.
>> I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK ABOUT MAINTENANCE, PLANNING, SCHEDULING, KIND OF PUTTING A STRUCTURE TOGETHER FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TO AVOID THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THING THAT LET US DOWN THIS PATH TO BEGIN WITH.
[00:20:11]
>> IT'S KIND OF TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
FACILITY RENEWAL PLAN AND THEN JUST WORKING TOWARDS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE FOR WHAT WE HAVE.
SO THOSE ARE TWO CONCURRENT THINGS.
OUR FACILITY MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE GOT BOUGHT OUT SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A CHANGE THERE.
WE'RE GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS RIGHT NOW.
ONCE WE'RE UP AND RUNNING AND OUR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WILL BE DOCUMENTED AND ASSIGNED VIA WORK ORDER.
WE'LL BE A LOT MORE STREAMLINED AND ABLE TO PULL DATA FROM WHAT WE'RE DOING.
>> IS IT FAIR TO SAY FROM OUR REPORT STANDPOINT THAT THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETE BY THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR? LIKE HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO BE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YES. EVERYTHING MAY NOT BE IN IT YET, BUT YES.
>> BUT THERE WILL BE A FUNCTIONING SYSTEM THAT STILL NEEDS SOME DATA INPUT.
IT'LL PROBABLY NEED DATA INPUT.
>> THEN I WOULD JUST ADD THE BOARD HAS ASKED FOR A QUARTERLY REPORT THAT DEMONSTRATES DATA, WHERE WE'RE AT.
THEY'LL BE GETTING FOUR TIMES A YEAR, THEY'LL GET AN UPDATE ON THE FACILITIES, WHAT'S HAPPENING, WHERE WE'RE AT.
WE'RE CURRENTLY BUILDING THE SYSTEM AND THEN WE'LL BE IDENTIFYING WHAT DATA WE'LL BE PULLING TO BE ABLE TO SHARE.
>> CURIOUS ABOUT, IS ALL YOUR O&M DATA ELECTRONIC?
>> YEAH. WE HAVE IT ELECTRONICALLY.
>> IS ANY OF IT LINKED LIKE FILTER 105 FOR WHATEVER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, YOU CLICK ON THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, YOU CAN SEE THAT FILTER?
>> THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'LL HAVE TO DO IN THE NEW SYSTEM.
THESE AIR HANDLERS TAKE THESE FILTERS, BUT WE'LL LOOK TO GET THE QR CODE ON EACH PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GET US TO THAT SPACE.
THAT'S US PUTTING IT TOGETHER.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING, IT'S JUST NOT STREAMLINED LIKE THAT.
>> MAYBE MARK WANTS TO GO DOWN AND KIND OF SHARE DOWN THE CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
>> WE CAN ALL. I THINK THAT'S MOSTLY SANDY'S STUFF.
THERE'S A LOT OF FINANCING RECOMMENDATIONS.
IF THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE GROUP, BUT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY WRITE ANYTHING, FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP AND I CAN FLUSH OUT A PARAGRAPH OR TWO.
I JUST MADE A NOTE AND I STILL NEED TO WRITE TWO THINGS.
AS I WAS LOOKING AT THIS YESTERDAY, IS JUST REVISITING THE FACILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THAT LONG-TERM BOND PLANNING, WHICH I THINK IS SOMEWHAT IN PROGRESS.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A FORMAL COMMITTEE FOR IT ANYMORE JUST BECAUSE THEY ALL WENT BY THE WAYSIDE WHEN THREE BONDS FAIL, AND YOU GET OFF THE CYCLE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD PROBABLY PAIR REALLY WELL WITH
[00:25:04]
THE FACILITY RENEWAL PLAN RENEWAL PLAN.>> THAT'S BASICALLY THE HUGE COMPONENT OF THAT.
KIND OF THAT SMALL WORKS PROJECT STUFF THAT WE STRUGGLED WITH AS THE TASK FORCE, IT BASICALLY WILL BE ALL MAPPED OUT FOR US.
>> BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT GOT US INTO TROUBLE ORIGINALLY, WAS WHENEVER WE WOULD DO AN ADD ON OR AN ADDITION OR WHATEVER IT, WE NEVER WENT IN AND UPDATED THE MECHANICAL AND ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE ENDED UP WITH 100-YEAR-OLD BUILDING WITH 100-YEAR-OLD STUFF AND A 1970 WING.
BUT WE DIDN'T GO BACK AND DO THE OTHER PART OF THE WORK AT THE TIME SO THIS IS IDENTIFYING ALL OF THAT STUFF AND IN RELATIVE TERMS, WHEN IT NEEDS TO GET DONE TO EACH OTHER.
IT'S A HUGE COMPONENT TO DOING EXACTLY THAT.
IT'S NOT TO BUILD A WHOLE NEW SCHOOL.
WE NEED $30 MILLION FOR THESE TWO BUILDINGS TO COMPLETELY REDO THEIR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.
>> ALSO JUST TO MAKE SURE I CORRECT, I THINK THE PRE-ENGINEER BUILDING IDEA ACTUALLY STARTED WITH THE GYM, NOT THE CTE.
>> THE CONVERSATION STARTED WITH THE CTE BUILDING.
THAT WAS WHEN THE CTE BUILDING WASN'T CONNECTED.
BECAUSE AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THE CTE BUILDING WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE BUILDING.
IT SAT IN ITS CURRENT LOCATION, BUT IT WAS ITS OWN BUILDING.
>> IT WASN'T, BUT THE ORIGINAL PRE-ENGINEERED WAS TALKED ABOUT WITH
THE GYM. THE ATHLETIC WING.>> [INAUDIBLE]
>> THE FIRST TIME WE EVER BROUGHT IT OR TALKED ABOUT PRE-ENGINEERED WAS WHEN THE CTE BUILDING. [INAUDIBLE]
>> WHEN YOU COULD GRAB THAT TRUNK AND REDUCE YOUR SQUARE FOOT COST.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME LESSONS LEARNED WITH PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS.
MAKING SURE YOU GOT IT RATED PROPERLY OR YOU BUILD IT WITH MEZZANINE IN IT. A BIGGER MEZZANINE.
>> THEN I GOT SOME NOTES. [INAUDIBLE]
>> THERE'S OTHER DETAILS, BUT THOSE CAN BE DONE SEPARATELY.
>> I THINK WE SHOULD GO TO 28 PAGES.
>> I WAS HOPING TO KEEP IT TO 10.
>> I THINK WE CAN TRIM SOME OF THE FINANCIAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
>> OTHER THINGS ARE RESTATED. HOW DO YOU WANT TO HANDLE THAT?
>> PROBABLY. I'D LIKE TO GET THIS TO THE BOARD PROBABLY BY THE 15TH, IF NOT SOONER.
JULY, SO IT'S NOT THE LAST THING THAT GETS DUMPED ON THEM THREE DAYS BEFORE THE MEETING OR SOMETHING.
I THINK IF IT'S ALL SUCCESSFUL, ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO JUMP IN TO TRY TO PARE DOWN AND KIND OF KEEP THE STRUCTURE AND LANGUAGE CONSISTENT WOULD BE GOOD.
OR IF ANYBODY WANTS TO JUST JUMP IN AND JOT LIKE A LESSON,
[00:30:07]
OR A RECOMMENDATION OR A CONCLUSION.JUST FROM THIS DISCUSSION, WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT USING PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING THAT LARGE SPAN OPEN, I RECOMMEND THAT OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT.
.>> FOR ME PERSONALLY, I GET LIKE THREE SENTENCES IN, AND I'M THINKING ABOUT THAT SQUIRREL ON THAT TREE OR SOMETHING STUPID.
MY BRAIN DOESN'T PROCESS THAT INFORMATION WELL.
>> IF THERE'S PEOPLE ON THE BOARD THAT IT DOES, THEN IT'S GREAT INFORMATION.
>> IT'S GREAT INFORMATION IT'S JUST HOW FAR DO WE WANT THIS REPORT? ALL GREAT INFORMATION.
>> THIS IS THE NEW HANDBOOK TO WHAT TO DO.
>> I DON'T EVEN MEAN THAT. [INAUDIBLE]
>> JUST AS AN EXAMPLE. I'M LOOKING AT A PARAGRAPH AND THREE BULLET POINTS REGARDING LOOK FOR LOW INTEREST FINANCING OPTIONS.
THAT'S A GREAT RECOMMENDATION, AND WE SHOULD DEFINITELY DO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE NECESSARILY NEED TO EXPAND LOCAL PROGRAMS IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON TREASURY FOR 15 YEAR TO MAXIMUM 19 YEARS, ALL BONDS IN THIS WERE SOLD.
MAKE EFFORTS TO SECURE LOW INTEREST LOANS, OR LOW INTEREST FINANCING.
WHEN APPLICABLE USE THIRD-PARTY, THAT WOULD BE THE BIG PICTURE FOR ME.
BUT I'M ALSO A SIMPLE PERSON. THAT'S SIMPLE.
>> I THINK YOU'RE UNDERSELLING YOURSELF A LITTLE BIT.
[OVERLAPPING] SANDY HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION THERE, SHE'S VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT A LOT OF THE STUFF ON A LARGER LEVEL THAN IT APPLIES TO ANYTHING THAT WE COULD CONTROL HERE.
SHE MAY WANT TO OR YOU MAY WANT TO PULL THAT INFORMATION OUT AND SUBMIT IT TO THE LEGISLATIVE REP ON THE SCHOOL BOARD SO WHEN THEY GO LOBBY AND MEET WITH LEGISLATORS AND PEOPLE THAT COULD ACTUALLY HAVE SOME INFLUENCE OVER THOSE DECISIONS, THEY WOULD HAVE THAT INFORMATION, BUT IT WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM THE REPORT AND THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] GETTING THE, SAY FOR FINANCIAL EXHIBIT A, OR WHATEVER AS A YES, BUT NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE PART OF THE REPORT WITHOUT DISRUPTING WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
>> HAS THAT EVER BEEN [INAUDIBLE].
>> THERE'S A SECTION IN HERE ABOUT THE TASK FORCE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] AND THAT KIND OF THING.
[00:35:07]
WE TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE FIRM.>> I TOOK A BUNCH OF THE BOND TASK FORCE STUFF OUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE WERE DOING AND JUST SAID THIS IS WHAT THE TASK FORCE DID.
HERE'S WHAT THEY RECOMMENDED, AND ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATION WAS ESSENTIALLY THIS GROUP, AND HERE'S A LINK FOR ALL THE STUFF. I PUT IT IN THERE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THEY CAN TAKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND PASS IT ON [INAUDIBLE].
>> YOU'RE RIGHT. IT CAN BE DONE MULTIPLE WAYS, BUT I JUST HATE TO SEE THE NEXT GROUP MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE [INAUDIBLE] EVERYBODY WAS ON THE SAME PAGE [INAUDIBLE] MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, EVERYBODY WAS PUSHING THAT [INAUDIBLE].
I JUST THINK THERE'S SOME VALUE. YOU'RE RIGHT, I DON'T THINK IT GOES IN HERE, BUT SOMEBODY IS GOING NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEDAY.
>> HOPEFULLY, THAT'S SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> WELL, THE TASK FORCE STUFF IS ALL STILL IN THE RABBIT HOLE OF THE WEBSITE.
>> I AGREE. WE HAD THE TASK FORCE, WE HAD THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, BUT THE STORY WAS NEVER TOLD IN BETWEEN. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.
I AGREE THAT WE'RE GOING THERE, BUT SOMEBODY MAY NEED TO KNOW THAT INFORMATION SOMEDAY.
YOU GUYS WERE ALL VERY INVOLVED AND THAT KNOW HOW IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
THERE'S JUST SOME VALUE IN THAT INFORMATION, THAT KNOWLEDGE.
[INAUDIBLE] I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE BURT SHARED IT [INAUDIBLE].
WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN, HOPEFULLY, SOMEDAY.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFIC FROM THE BOARD THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE IS INCLUDED, QUESTIONS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE FOR OUR GROUP THAT YOU WOULD WANT ANSWERED OR AT LEAST RESPONDED TO?
>> NO, I THINK YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. YOU'VE COVERED IT.
I THINK MY POSITION IS, I'M GOING TO TRY AND BE A LIAISON WITH THE REST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS HAVE GONE DOWN AND HOW THEY'VE WORKED.
I WILL DO MY BEST TO HELP FACILITATE WHAT THE MESSAGE YOU'RE SENDING TO THE REST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.
I GOT YOUR BACK, AND KUDOS ON EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN HERE.
I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU. SORRY.
>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE FINAL REPORT BEFORE WE MOVE ON AND TRY TO GET THIS THING SHIPPED OFF IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS?
>> LET ME KNOW WHEN [INAUDIBLE].
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT MORNING?
>> I DON'T CONTROL MY OWN SCHEDULE.
>> YOU HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED YET?
>> I HAVE FIVE DICTATORS THAT CONTROL MY SCHEDULE FOR ME, ESPECIALLY ON MY DAYS OFF.
>> JUST REMEMBER, THIS IS BEING RECORDED, SO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT.
>> FOUR DICTATORS AND ONE WIFE.
>> YES. I THINK SHE'S GOT TIME TO WATCH THIS MEETING BACKWARDS.
[00:40:09]
>> RIGHT. I HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO DR.
ERICKSON ANYMORE ABOUT INVITING PREVIOUS BOARD MEMBERS, SO I NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR REPORT COMPONENT.
I THINK WE'RE DOWN TO THE LAST HURRAH.
>> [INAUDIBLE] CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATIONS REMAINS AND EVERYBODY IS [INAUDIBLE] I'VE BEEN AN ELECTRICIAN [INAUDIBLE] UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS IRRESPONSIBILITY OR NOT [INAUDIBLE].
>> [INAUDIBLE] THEN WE HAD TO GIVE THEM THE FINAL WHO WANTED TO ACCESS [INAUDIBLE] THE FACILITY [INAUDIBLE] AND WE CAN HAVE IT SET UP FOR SECURE MODE AND FULL LOG OUT MODE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS [INAUDIBLE] UNLIKE PREVIOUS MEETINGS [INAUDIBLE].
ONE THING THAT WE NEED A FOLLOW-UP ON IS [INAUDIBLE] ADDITIONAL BALANCE [INAUDIBLE] IN THE [INAUDIBLE], TRY TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT. THEN WE'LL BE READY FOR THE FINAL COMMISSION [INAUDIBLE] I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION [INAUDIBLE] .
IN THE END, [INAUDIBLE] FOR YOUR COMMITMENT, CORNELSEN, BECAUSE OF THE [INAUDIBLE] IN THE END, WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE [INAUDIBLE]
>> HEY, KEN. CAN I ASK? HOW MANY SIGN OFFS ARE ON THE COMMISSIONING AS FAR AS IS IT ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL, SAFETY?
[00:45:02]
>> [INAUDIBLE] WHERE WE TRY TO FOLLOW THAT AS A MODEL. IN SECURE MODE, [INAUDIBLE]
>> [INAUDIBLE] NEED TO BE VERY SPECIFICALLY HELD FOR VERY SPECIFIC [INAUDIBLE].
WE CAN GIVE THEM BACK AS AN OPTION OR MAINTAIN THEM [INAUDIBLE] OF THE ORIGINAL BOND'S INTENT.
>> THEY ARE IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND AND THEY HAVE TO BE USED FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS.
THEY CAN BE USED TO EITHER REFUND DEBT OR ON FUTURE BOND PROJECTS.
BECAUSE THEY ARE WITHIN WHAT WOULD BE THE INTEREST EARNINGS, SO THERE AREN'T NECESSARILY THE BOND DOLLARS.
I THINK WE MAY HAVE A LITTLE MORE LATITUDE WITH HOW THEY'RE SPENT.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING ON YOUR LIST [INAUDIBLE].
>> I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE REMAINING, IT WASN'T ON THE ORIGINAL LIST, BUT WAS PART OF THE CONVERSATION LATER ON WAS A CANOPY FOR THE ENTRY TO CUSTER, LIKE SKYLINE VERSION TO DO THAT.
[00:50:01]
>> WE PUT THE BUZZ IN SYSTEM, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE VESTIBULE. CORRECT. YEAH.
>> THERE ISN'T THAT SECOND LEVEL THAT ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE OTHER THAN BEACH.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT THAT WAS NOT ALREADY COMPLETED.
>> GOING THROUGH THIS REPORT, THE CUSTER ENTRY WAS VERY DIFFERENT INITIALLY.
IT WAS A WHOLE NEW ENTRY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OFFICE WITH THE WHOLE STAIRS AND RECONFIGURE THE WHOLE OFFICE SPACE.
>> RIGHT. BACK TO THE ORIGINAL.
>> WELL, THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THE SECURE.
>> YEAH. WELL, IT HAD A MAIN STAIR, RATHER THAN THAT SIDE LIBRARY UP THE RAMP.
>> IT ACTUALLY WENT RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN OFFICE.
>> MAYBE CENTRAL MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE, BUT THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST EXTENSIVE OF THE SECURE ENTRY INITIAL PLANS ANYWAY.
THEN IT BECAME JUST CAMERAS AND BUZZING.
[00:55:17]
>> WAS THE TRACK THING THAT I BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST MEETING MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING?
>> HOW DID THE CONTRACTOR DO IN THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AND THE DRAPES?
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON WORK? ANY WORK? QUESTIONS. DID YOU DECIDE TO HAVE THEM CONTINUE DOING THE LAWN MAINTENANCE?
>> YEAH. WHAT THEY OFFERED US COST US A LOT MORE TO DO IT IN-HOUSE.
WE'RE TAKING OVER, WHICH WAS OUT OF CONTRACT, ANYWAY, THE PRACTICE FIELD AND THE AREA WHERE OLD CTE WAS BECAUSE THAT WASN'T IN CONTRACT.
BUT THE REST OF IT THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR NOW.
>> WASN'T THERE AN ISSUE WITH QUALITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> THEY'VE DONE GOOD SINCE THEN.
>> THE PRACTICE I FEEL IS LOOKING PRETTY THIN.
IS THAT GOING TO HAVE TO BE OVERSEATED? WE HAVE TO PUSH IT WITH SOME FERTILIZER AND YEAH.
I HOPE WE DON'T NEED TO OVERSIT IT, BUT WE'LL SEE. YEAH.
>> ANYTHING ELSE? ANYONE WANT TO MENTION THE WASNA STUFF?
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS GROUP, AND I'M THE NEWBIE.
[01:00:01]
I ACTUALLY SAT ON EIGHT BOND PROJECTS.A COUPLE OF HIGH SCHOOLS, DISTRICT OFFICE, THE BEGINNING OF IT, PRACTICE FIELDS, PERMANENT FIELDS, SEVERAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A PROCESS LIKE THIS.
IT'S BEEN AMAZING TO COME IN AND I'M ON THE TAIL END, SO I'M DOING A LOT OF LEARNING.
BUT I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW UNIQUE THIS IS BECAUSE THE TRANSPARENCY OF THIS GROUP AND THE TRUST.
I ALSO HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A PROJECT THAT DIDN'T GO, AND KEN AND I ACTUALLY WORKED ON ONE SCHOOL TOGETHER, I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE COME IN ON BUDGET, EVER.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT COULD HAPPEN.
I JUST HATS OFF TO THIS COMMUNITY. I KNOW IT.
THIS GROUP CAME OUT OF FRUSTRATION TO TRY TO CREATE TRANSPARENCY AND I WAS THINKING, BRIAN, WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT PASSING THE NEXT BOND.
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PASS ANOTHER BOND BECAUSE OF THE TRUST THAT WAS BUILT BY THIS PROCESS AND THE UNIFICATION THAT THIS PROCESS TOOK US THROUGH.
ANYWAY, BECAUSE OF THE WORK OF THIS GROUP AND BECAUSE IT'S SO UNIQUE, YOU WERE NOMINATED TO WASA, WHICH IS THE STATE ORGANIZATION THAT SUPPORTS ADMINISTRATORS AND SUPERINTENDENTS, AND YOU WERE ACKNOWLEDGED AS GAINING THE COMMUNITY AWARD FOR ESD 189, AND YOU WERE ACKNOWLEDGED AT A LUNCHEON WHERE RILEY AND SANDY CAME ON YOUR BEHALF.
HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR, AND WE WERE INVITED TO APPLY TO WASDA, WHICH IS THE BOARD, CONFERENCE THAT HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR, WE'LL KNOW SOON IF WE WERE SELECTED TO COME AND PRESENT BECAUSE OTHER DISTRICTS WANT TO KNOW HOW DID WE DO IT, ESPECIALLY AT A TIME WHEN BONDS ARE NOT PASSING.
HOW DID OUR COMMUNITY DO THIS AND COME IN ON TIME, ON BUDGET, AND SUCH A CELEBRATION.
I THINK THE RIBBON CUTTING, I'VE ALSO BEEN ON SEVERAL RIBBON CUTTINGS, I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE THAT FELT LIKE SUCH A CELEBRATION.
EVERYONE FELT LIKE THEY WERE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES.
WHETHER THEY WERE HERE, A STUDENT, A STAFF MEMBER, A COMMUNITY MEMBER.
IT WAS GREAT TO WALK AROUND AND TALK TO ALUMNI AND JUST THE PRIDE THEY STILL FELT, AND IT'S JUST BEEN GROWING AND GROWING.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE FOR YOUR WORK.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART.
I KNOW THE BOARD REALLY APPRECIATES THIS TOO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE CAPACITY NOR ALWAYS THE EXPERTISE TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT OR READING, AND SO YOU HAVE THE TRUST OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE PART OF HISTORY, NOT JUST IN THIS COMMUNITY, BUT ACROSS THE STATE. THANK YOU.
>> ANYTHING ELSE. GO TO THE ORDER.
>> YOU'RE NOT OFFICIALLY DONE YET.
>> WE DO NEED A PHOTO, IS THAT RIGHT, TAMMY?
>> WE NEED A PHOTO, AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT FOR TAMMY BECAUSE TAMMY'S BACK HERE, ALWAYS KEEPING US ORGANIZED. THINGS GOING.
TAMMY WAS GIVEN ORDERS TO GET A PHOTO.
SHE ALSO HELPED TO GET THESE COASTERS SO YOU HAVE ONE OF A KIND COASTER HERE.
>> ON THAT POINT, THANK YOU, TAMMY VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE EFFORT.
KEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.
>> WELL, THANK YOU, EVERYBODY FOR ALL THE EFFORTS.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THEY COULD HAVE SAID NO, THEY COULD HAVE CHANGED RULES ON IT.
THEY COULD HAVE DONE A LOT OF THINGS THAT THEY WENT AGAINST WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR IT AND SO TO SEE THE BOARD SUPPORT HOW WE WANTED TO GO ABOUT THE PROCESS AND TO KEEP IT SEPARATE AND TRANSPARENT AND ALL OF THAT,
[01:05:05]
THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE TRUST THAT THEY HAD.DEFINITELY APPRECIATE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND TO THE BOARD AND EVERYBODY. WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE THANK YOU.
I KNOW THIS WAS A PROCESS THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAD BEEN TRIED BEFORE.
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, WE WENT AND TALKED EARLY ON TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAD RUN BONDS AND ASKED IF AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WOULD BE SOMETHING AND WE WERE MET WITH LIKE, IF THEY EVER DID THAT, I'D QUIT RIGHT NOW.
THAT WAS THE RESPONSE WE GOT FROM ADMINISTRATIONS OUTSIDE OF HERE.
I KNOW BEING OPEN TO THE PROCESS AND SEEING THE RESULTS, I THINK I APPRECIATE IT.
I KNOW MY MINDSET COMING IN WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I WANTED TO BE A TEAM PLAYER, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY MORE OF A CONFRONTATIONAL, KEEP THE THING IN LINE.
BUT I THINK OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, IT'S BECOME MORE OF A GROUP EFFORT TO GET THIS THING OVER THE FINISH LINE, WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
THANK YOU TO MARK FOR BEING HERE ALMOST EVERY MEETING WHEN YOU WEREN'T WEARING TWO HATS FOR A YEAR DURING COVID AND ALL THAT CRAZINESS.
YOU'RE GOING TO ASK KEN WHAT WENT WRONG ONE MORE TIME FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER?
>> ALL RIGHT. ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
