May 11, 2021 Facilities Committee Meeting

[00:00:01]

GOOD AFTERNOON, THIS IS A REGULARLY CALLED MEETING OF THE FACILITIES COMMITTEE OF THE

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum]

DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS RELATED TO THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY ATTEND BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN THE GARLAND ROWLETT ROOM OF THE HARRIS HILL ADMINISTRATION BUILDING WITH LIVE STREAMING PER TEA GUIDANCE AS REFERENCED IN GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S EXECUTIVE ORDER GA 34 EVERYONE PHYSICALLY PRESENT MUST WEAR A FACE MASK AT ALL TIMES AND TO PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING.

ITEM NUMBER THREE ON OUR AGENDA IS A PUBLIC FORUM.

MS. HOGAN DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS? ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS THE SUPERINTENDENTS BRIEF MESSAGE.

[IV. Superintendent's Message]

AND WE GOT A FEW ITEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA AND HOPEFULLY BE ON THE AGENDA.

SO KEEP LISTENING.

THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU, MR. SUPERINTENDENT. RIVETING.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO SECTION FIVE OF OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS WORK

[V. Maintenance and Operations Work Order Update November 2020-January 2021 – Jimmy Beach]

MR. JIMMY BEACH.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU, I WAS IN BRANSON, MISSOURI LAST WEEKEND, IT RAINED LIKE THIS ALL THE WAY FROM SPRINGFIELD TO OKLAHOMA, DOWN TO ABOUT EUFAULA LAKE.

IT QUIT THE WEATHERMAN WHEN I GOT HOME, SAID IT WAS GOING TO FOLLOW ME AND IT DID.

SO TAKE NO RECORD FOR THIS.

BUT GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN JOHNSON.

TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT LOPEZ.

WHAT I'M HERE TO DO IS GIVE YOU AN UPDATE FOR NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND JANUARY ON THE MAINTENANCE WORK ORDER PROGRAM.

SO LET ME GET THE. THE FIRST SLIDE, I'LL PROBABLY CHANGE IT BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING, BUT THIS TELLS YOU THE DATABASE LOG THAT WE USE FOR OUR CURRENT WORK ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS CALLED ASSET ESSENTIAL.

AND WE ALSO DO PM SCHEDULES.

IT'S ALL CLOUD BASED.

EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO THIS PROGRAM IF THEY'D LIKE TO.

AND IT'S VERY EASY TO ACCESS.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, BY THE WAY, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, JUST LET ME KNOW, OK.

THE FIRST SLIDE TALKS ABOUT OUR QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE WORK ORDER HISTORY.

IT'S A COMPARATIVE ANALOGY BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND THE CURRENT YEAR LAST YEAR.

AND I DID REQUEST VERSUS COMPLETED WORK ORDERS.

YOU CAN LOOK AT THE LEGEND ON THE LEFT.

YOU WILL SEE THAT THE TOTAL FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD IS TEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY ONE WORK ORDERS FROM LAST YEAR.

THIS YEAR, WE'RE AT EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE.

WE'RE DOWN ABOUT TWENTY TWO PERCENT.

THE EXPLANATION FOR THE REASON WE'RE DOWN IS VERY SIMPLE.

WE HAD COVID-19.

WE ALSO HAD THE WINTER FREEZE, WHICH WE SPENT ALL OF OUR TIME TRYING TO GET THOSE THINGS STRAIGHTENED OUT, STILL WORKING ON THEM, AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THEM RESOLVED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE COMPLETED WORK ORDER HISTORY FOR THE SAME TIME FRAME OUT OF THE TEN THOUSAND WELL, WE HAVE TEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED NINETY NINE COMPLETED IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

THIS YEAR WE COMPLETED SEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO.

ONCE AGAIN, OUR FOCUS WAS NOT ON ANYTHING EXCEPT COVID IN THAT TWO WEEK FREEZE PERIOD THAT WE HAD THAT CAUSED ALL THE PROBLEMS WE'RE HAVING.

SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THAT? OK, PM VERSUS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD SLIDE AND I HAD TO THINK ABOUT THIS ONE FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT LAST YEAR WE WERE AT ABOUT A 50/50 SPLIT BETWEEN PM AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

THIS YEAR, YOU CAN NOTICE ON THE SLIDE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS AT OVER EIGHTY TWO PERCENT? WHY IS IT OVER EIGHTY TWO PERCENT BECAUSE THAT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INVOLVED THE TWO THINGS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.

WE HAD NO TIME TO DO PM'S JUST NOW GETTING BACK TO OUR CYCLICAL SCHEDULES, WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO TO OUR SCHOOLS ON A PERIODIC BASIS AND GET THINGS TAKEN CARE OF SO IT'LL SHOW A HUGE CHANGE.

NOW, I'VE LOOKED AHEAD FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTH PERIOD AND THE FIGURES ARE MUCH MORE FAVORABLE AS FAR AS TOTALS AND COMPARISONS TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

SO YOU'LL SEE A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN THE NEXT QUARTER.

ON-TIME COMPLETION RATES.

THIS IS ONE THING WE CAN BRAG ABOUT.

I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF DISTRICTS AND PAUL AND I JUST FINISHED A BENCHMARKING COURSE WITH OTHER DISTRICTS ACROSS TEXAS.

WE'RE AT SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF OUR WORK ORDERS ARE DONE IN SEVEN DAYS OR LESS.

WELL, THERE ARE THERE ARE DISTRICTS OUT THERE THAT HAVE WORK ORDERS THAT ARE TAKING ANYWHERE FROM FOURTEEN TO TWENTY ONE DAYS AS AN AVERAGE.

OUR GUYS ARE VERY GOOD ABOUT RESPONDING AND TAKING CARE OF THINGS, ESPECIALLY PRIORITIES, EMERGENCIES, THE ITEMS THAT WE'VE GOT TO HAVE IN ORDER TO KEEP SCHOOL GOING AND TO KEEP THE KIDS AND THE FACULTY COMFORTABLE.

SO THAT ONE WE'VE DONE REALLY WELL ON.

EMERGENCY VERSUS ROUTINE, THE EMERGENCY WORK ORDER REQUEST IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST

[00:05:04]

EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY IN THE SCHOOL BECAUSE IT AFFECTS EVERYTHING THEY DO, ESPECIALLY THIS WEEK WHILE WE'RE TESTING.

BUT IN REALITY, WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT, THINGS LIKE GAS LEAKS, AIR CONDITIONING OUT, THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO AFFECT THE COMFORT AND THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION REALLY SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS EMERGENCY.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE REQUESTS REALLY ARE EMERGENCIES AS SUCH.

THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT CAUSE THE DISRUPTION.

AND I SHOWED YOU OVER THERE ON THE CHART NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN.

IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST THREE.

IT'S GOING TO BE HVAC, ELECTRICAL OR PLUMBING.

WE DO OUR BEST TO GET ON THEM RIGHT AWAY.

WE TRY TO HAVE A TURN ON THOSE WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS.

NOW, THE LAST SLIDE I WAS GOING TO SHOW YOU, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE FOR ABOUT TWO PERIODS NOW IS WHAT WE CALL MAINTENANCE DASHBOARD 360.

THE SYSTEM IS NOW OPERATIONAL.

WE'VE GOT TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS THAT ARE LOGGING INTO THE SYSTEM THROUGH US AND GETTING THE INFORMATION SO THEY CAN VIEW THEIR SCHOOL SNAPSHOT HISTORY IN JUST A FEW MINUTES AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

THEY CAN EXPLORE WHAT'S OUT THERE THAT HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED YET.

IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE A UNIQUE TOOL AS IT RAMPS UP AND GETS MORE EFFECTIVE.

SO THAT CONCLUDES WHAT WE'VE GOT FOR TODAY.

ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ANYONE HAS, COMMITTEE BOARD MEMBERS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BEACH. MR. SELDERS. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

YES, SIR. JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON SLIDE NUMBER SIX FOR TRADES.

WHAT IS THAT? TRADES IS YOUR GENERAL CRAFTSMAN.

THAT'S LIKE OUR CARPENTERS, OUR PAINTERS.

IT CAN LOCKSMITHS IT CAN BE ANY OF THOSE CATEGORIES KIND OF LUMPED INTO ONE.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST A COMMENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.

I WAS OVER AT THE GRCTC. WE DID A TOUR ON NOT TOO LONG AGO AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO ONE OF THE CLASSROOMS AND SAW ONE OF OUR STUDENTS, I THINK, WHO GOT A GOLD MEDAL FOR SKILLS USA COMPETITION.

BUT WHAT BROUGHT TO MIND WAS THAT YOU HAVE HVAC, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING AND THEN WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS OVER THERE.

HAVE WE EVER CONSIDERED HAVING SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE JUNIORS AND SENIORS OR HAVING GOTTEN THEIR CERTIFICATION, YOU KNOW, SHADOWING SOME OF OUR.

ACTUALLY, WE HAVE. WE'VE LOOKED AT AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM TRYING TO UTILIZE OUR OWN KIDS. WE HAVE PROBLEMS AS IT IS TRYING TO HIRE QUALIFIED PEOPLE.

AND WE THOUGHT, WHAT BETTER WAY THAN TO DO WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO IS BRING PEOPLE IN ON THE ZERO STEP AND DEVELOP OUR OWN.

AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO USE OUR OWN STUDENTS AND GIVE THEM A TASTE OF WHAT THE TRUE CAREER PROGRAM WOULD BE LIKE.

IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS.

THERE WERE SOME IMPLICATIONS THAT WERE A LITTLE BIT PROHIBITIVE AS FAR AS THE AGE GROUP AND RELEASE OF YES THEY CAN DO IT OR NO THEY CAN'T.

SO WE WERE WORKING, TRYING TO GO THROUGH THOSE THINGS BEFORE WE REALLY TRIED TO ROLL OUT SOMETHING. SO THAT'S IN WORK RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT IT YES, SIR.

OK, YES, SIR.

I FAVOR IT, I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME KIDS ONE YEAR WE ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND GOT I THINK IT WAS FOOTBALL PLAYERS FROM GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL TO ASSIST WITH GROUNDS KEEPING BECAUSE WE USE SUMMER MOWERS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.

AND THAT WAS REAL EFFECTIVE.

BUT THEY WERE VERY LIMITED BECAUSE THEY HAD TO PRACTICE EVERY DAY AND LIFT WEIGHTS AND ALL THAT. BUT WE TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR SCHEDULE WITH PERMISSIONS AND ALL THE THINGS SOME TIMES THAT THEY CAN.

SO, YES, SIR, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.

OK, THANK YOU. YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, SIR? MR. BEACH.

JIMMY, IN THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, IS ANY OF THAT OUTSOURCED OR IS THAT ALL IN-HOUSE PEOPLE. THIS IS ALL IN-HOUSE.

OK, THIS IS ALL FOR GARLAND ISD EMPLOYEES.

AMB HAS THEIR OWN WORK ORDER SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING THEY DO IS CALCULATED DIFFERENTLY.

NOW, I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT SOME ABM'S WORK THE OUTSOURCED CUSTODIAL GROUP IS CALLED ABM, BY THE WAY. BUT IF THEY'RE OUT WORKING ON THE WATER PICK UP THAT WE HAD FOR SOME OF THE BUILDINGS THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF, THE HIGH SCHOOLS, THEY WERE THERE AND THEY WERE DOING THINGS, BUT WE DON'T COUNT THEM TOWARDS OUR GOALS.

THANK YOU.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. BEACH. THANK YOU, FOLKS.

MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ITEM OF OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS SIX, A INFORMATION ITEM RECEIVE

[VI.A. Information Item]

GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOHNSON.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.

LOPEZ. THE MAY BOND UPDATE.

WE ARE WINDING THE BOND PROGRAM DOWN.

WE'VE GOT ACTUALLY JUST THREE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TO CLOSE THIS WHOLE PROJECT

[00:10:04]

TWO OF THE PROJECTS ARE STILL UNDER THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND ONE IS IN A CLOSE OUT.

WE'RE WINDING DOWN ALL OF THE DISCIPLINES AS WELL.

WE'VE GOT TEST AND BALANCE FIRMS. GOT ABOUT THREE OF THEM THAT WE'RE JUST FINALIZING THE TEST AND BALANCE REPORTS AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO PAY THEM AND BE CLOSE WITH THOSE COMPANIES.

THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN PHASE THREE, THE ONES THAT ARE CONSTRUCTION O'BANION MIDDLE SCHOOL, IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WE ACTUALLY EXPECT O'BANION TO BE DONE BY JUNE.

SO WE'LL BE FINISHED UP WITH O'BANION AND THAT ONE WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED.

THE ONE THAT'S IN CLOSE OUT JACKSON.

THAT'S GOT SOME PENDING DISCUSSIONS ON THAT ONE.

AND ONCE THOSE DISCUSSIONS ARE RESOLVED, THAT ONE WILL ACTUALLY BE CLOSED OUT.

AND THE LAST THING WE HAVE COYLE MIDDLE SCHOOL, COYLE MIDDLE SCHOOL WILL BE THE LAST ONE.

IT WAS THE LAST PROJECT TO ACTUALLY GET AWARDED SO IT'LL BE THE LAST PROJECT THAT ACTUALLY GETS COMPLETED WITHIN THE BOND PROGRAM.

WE'VE ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE'RE STILL WAITING ON IS THE INSTRUMENT STORAGE FOR OUR FINE ARTS AREAS.

AND SO THAT IS EXPECTED WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO FINALIZE THAT PIECE. BUT THAT'S THE LAST PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM FOR COYLE.

AND WITH THAT, WE ARE WRAPPING THE BOND PROGRAM ITSELF IS PRETTY MUCH WRAPPED UP.

AND SO WHAT I NORMALLY DO, IS PROVIDE YOU PHOTOS OF THE PROGRESS OF WORK.

THERE ARE NO PHOTOS OF THE PROGRESS OF WORK BECAUSE OF THE WORK IS PRETTY MUCH DONE.

THERE'S ACTUALLY NO CONTRACTORS AT THE SITE EXCEPT FOR COYLE WHO ARE JUST WRAPPING THAT PIECE UP. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE PROJECTS ARE PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE.

IN ADDITION TO THIS, YOU HAVE AN EXPENDITURE REPORT FOR THE FUND 681 THAT'S ATTACHED FOR YOUR REVIEW AS WELL. COMMITTEE BOARD, ANY QUESTIONS? DR. LOPEZ, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF CEREMONY FOR THE CLOSE OUT OF THE 2014 BOND.

WE WANT MULTIPLE CEREMONIES, ONE FOR WE NEVER GIVEN THAT FINAL RIBBON CUTTING FOR OUR NATATORIUM. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE PERFECT PLACE ONCE WE CAN LIGHTEN SOME RESTRICTIONS AND REALLY INVITE THE BOND COMPANY, NOT COMPANY, THE BOND COMMITTEE THAT REALLY OVERSAW THIS WHOLE PROJECT, A WAY TO BRING THEM IN AND THANK THEM AND THEN MAYBE SCHEDULE A SEPARATE TOUR SO THEY COULD SEE THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE THINGS THAT WE BUILT. THE ONE THING I WANT THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND IS THE BOARD HELD THEIR PROMISE ON EVERY SINGLE ITEM THAT WAS ON THE 2014 BOND, EVEN WHEN MONEY SEEMED TIGHT, EVEN WHEN THE MARKET SEEMED LIKE UNREACHABLE, THE THE THE BOARD NEEDS TO BE COMPLIMENTED ON FULFILLING THEIR PROMISE. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK JAVIER BECAUSE JAVIER HAD TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. WHEN JAVIER GOT HERE, THERE WAS A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF CLOSE OUTS AND WE MADE SURE WE CLOSED THOSE OUT.

SO THANK YOU TO JAVIER, BUT YEAH.

[APPLAUSE] THE FACT IS, IS YOU ALL DELIVERED ON THEIR PROMISE, SO THANK YOU.

MR. GLICK. THANK YOU, SIR.

COULD YOU GO OVER ON THE EXPENDITURE REPORT THE COLUMNS AND THE MEANING OF THE COLUMNS? SURE. OK, THE MEANING OF THE COLUMNS, SO THE FIRST COLUMN IS A BID PACKAGE NUMBER, SO WE HAVE AS A BOND PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED, WE HAD CAMPUSES THAT WERE CONSOLIDATED TOGETHER IN PACKAGE FORM. THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WERE AWARDED TO BOTH THE ARCHITECTS AND THE CONTRACTORS. SO SOME CAMPUSES, SOME BID PACKAGES HAD ONE CAMPUS, SOME HAD UP TO FIVE, SOME HAD UP TO SIX CAMPUSES WITHIN A BID PACKAGE.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LOOK AT BID PACKAGE 2.02 THAT'S SELLARS, COOPER.

WEAVER, SHORE HAVEN, THOSE WERE ALL CONSIDERED ONE BID PACKAGE.

THE NAMES IS ACTUALLY THE NAME OF THE CAMPUS THAT WE HAVE, THE CURRENT BUDGET, THAT'S THE ACTUAL BUDGET THAT IS ALLOCATED FOR THAT SPECIFIC CAMPUS.

THE ACTUAL COST IS THE COST OF WE HAVE ACTUALLY PAID TO DATE AND THEN THE CURRENTLY ENCUMBERED IS THE AMOUNT THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING ENCUMBERED, WHICH IS AN OPEN P.O.

ON THAT AMOUNT. THAT AMOUNT IS STILL ENCUMBERED, MEANING THAT EITHER THERE PO IS IS BASICALLY THEY'RE STILL INCUMBENCIES IN THE PO.

TOTAL COST WITH INCUMBENCIES IS IS THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL COST WITH THE INCUMBENTS THAT YOUR TOTAL AND THEN YOUR REMAINING BUDGET IS THE DOLLARS THAT ARE ASSIGNED WITHIN THAT CURRENT BUDGET THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOCATED OR ENCUMBERED WITHIN THAT COLUMN.

[00:15:05]

THE THREE SEVENTY EIGHT ONE NINETY ONE IS THE REMAINING AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WERE IN THE OVERALL CURRENT BUDGET AMOUNT THAT WERE NOT EXPENDED.

SO THOSE ARE THE DOLLARS THAT REMAIN WITHIN THAT PROJECT.

THOSE DOLLARS.

AND THOSE DOLLARS WILL NOT BE SPENT, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. OK, SO LET ME LET ME CLARIFY THAT.

WHEN YOU SAY THE DOLLARS WILL NOT BE SPENT.

SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY MY RESPONSE.

THE DOLLARS HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOCATED AND THOSE DOLLARS WOULD THEN BE ALLOCATED BASED ON HOW THE YOU KNOW, WHAT THE TOTAL DOLLAR IS.

AND IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT THE BOARD WANTS TO DO, THEN THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE THEN ALLOCATED FOR THOSE.

FOR ANY SCHOOL OR FOR THAT PARTICULAR SCHOOL.

YES, THOSE FUNDS WOULD THEN.

YES SIR, THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE RELEASED FROM THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT AND PUT INTO A BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS ANOTHER CATEGORY CALLED IS A PROGRAM FOR THE ENTIRE BOND PROGRAM. IT'S A BOND PROGRAM CONTINGENCY LINE THAT THOSE DOLLARS WOULD ROLL INTO THAT LINE. IS THERE A WAY THAT YOU COULD PRODUCE ANOTHER COLUMN THAT WOULD START WITH THE ORIGINAL BUDGET? THE ORIGINAL BUDGET FOR THAT PROJECT, SO THE ORIGINAL BUDGETS, MY UNDERSTANDING, THE BUDGETS WERE ADJUSTED IN LATE 2017.

YES. AND THOSE BUDGETS THAT WERE READJUSTED ARE THAT CURRENT BUDGET, THE COLUMN THAT YOU SEE UNDER THE CURRENT BUDGET, THAT IS THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WERE DONE AT THAT TIME.

OK, SO MAYBE THE ORIGINAL DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WAS ESTIMATED FOR THAT PROJECT, WOULD THAT BE A BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT? YES, SIR, I CAN LOOK INTO THAT.

OK, THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. SELDERS. MR. BEACH. MER. FERNANDEZ, I'M KIND OF ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH WITH LARRY, I'VE GOT SOME CONFUSION MAYBE THAT YOU CAN ANSWER FOR ME.

SO DURING THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM, WE HAVE HAD A REBATE, I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL IT, OF NINE MILLION DOLLARS. IT WAS THAT WE RECEIVED BACK FROM SAVINGS, IS THAT CORRECT? EARLIER IN A YEAR OR TWO AGO IN THE COST OF DOING PROJECTS, SO RIGHT NOW THERE'S A REMAINING BUDGET AMOUNT OF SEVEN POINT SEVEN MILLION.

I SEE THAT. I MEAN, WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS WHEN THERE'S SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, WE RECEIVE MONEY BACK ALREADY FROM THE BOND PROGRAM.

THERE HAS BEEN COST SAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE BOND PROGRAM AND THEY WERE THERE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE WERE SOME SAVINGS AS THE BOND PROGRAM PROGRESSED AND SOME OF THOSE SAVINGS WERE THEN REASSIGNED TO OTHER PROJECTS, FOR EXAMPLE, EARLY ON, LET'S SEE, I THINK 2018 EARLY 2018.

THE FIRM THAT WAS HERE PRIOR TO ME TAKING OVER HAD MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD TO USE ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS OF SAVINGS WITHIN THE PHASE ONE AND TWO TO UTILIZE THOSE DOLLARS FOR SOME ADDITIONAL HVAC CONTROLS WITHIN THE BOND PROGRAM.

AND SO THOSE DOLLARS WERE THEN ALLOCATED TOWARDS THOSE TOWARDS THOSE PROJECTS I GUESS THAT'S WHERE MY CONFUSION IS COMING IN ABOUT WHERE THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF SAVINGS THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS, EVEN INCLUDING THE SEVEN POINT SEVEN MILLION THAT'S BEING SHOWN HERE TONIGHT.

THAT'S SOME CONFUSION TO ME THAT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IS IT A 651 FUND, A 654 FUND IS IT A 60000 FUND.

WHAT KIND OF FUND? I MEAN, WHERE DO WE HAVE.

IS THERE A PARTICULAR FUND THAT WE ARE PUTTING THESE SAVINGS DOLLARS IN THAT CAN BE ALLOCATED FOR TO GO BACK AND DO I MEAN BECAUSE THERE WERE PROJECTS WITH THE KIND OF

[00:20:03]

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, AS FAR AS WHAT FUND THIS IS, FUND 681.

SO THE MONEY, THE MONEY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS IN FUND 681.

THE MONEY IS NOT 654 OR 651.

THOSE ARE DIFFERENT BUCKETS OF MONEY.

SO THIS IS JUST FUND 681.

AND THE DOLLARS THAT YOU SEE THERE ARE THE REMAINING DOLLARS FOR NOW UNDERSTAND, THE CURRENT BUDGET IS AN ESTIMATE AT THE TIME.

ANY TIME YOU DEVELOP A BUDGET FOR A PROJECT, IT'S YOUR BEST GUESSTIMATE AT THE TIME AS TO WHAT YOU THINK THAT PROJECT'S GOING TO COME IN IT.

BUT YOU DO HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE HIGH, SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE LOW, AND THEN YOU THOSE SAVINGS YOU ACCOUNT FOR, AS YOU ADJUST, AS THE PROJECT GOES THROUGH, I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT HAVING SEVEN POINT SEVEN REMAINING IS I HAVE TO GIVE I HAVE TO GIVE KUDOS TO ALL OF THE STAFF MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN HERE AND HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS BOND PROGRAM, BOTH WORKING FOR GARLAND ISD AND THOSE WORKING FOR THE FIRM THAT WE HAD HERE.

EVERYONE'S DONE A DILIGENT JOB OF TRYING TO KEEP THE COST AT A AT A REASONABLE AMOUNT.

AND SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE IS THE FRUITS OF EVERYONE'S LABOR BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF SAVINGS AT THE END OF A BOND PROGRAM.

TO ME, THAT SAVINGS IS BECAUSE OF YOUR OVERSIGHT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR OVERSIGHT OF THESE PROJECTS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE.

AGAIN, I'M JUST LIKE MR. GLICK. IF THIS THIS DOLLAR AMOUNT OF I MEAN, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? I MEAN, ONCE WE CLOSE OUT THE BOND PROGRAM, THAT MONEY WILL GO INTO THAT 681 FUND.

IS THAT CORRECT? THE MONEY IS IN 681 AND IT WILL REMAIN IN 681.

AND THEN WE, YOU WILL COME BACK EITHER AS FACILITIES AND SAY THESE ARE NEEDED PROJECTS THAT WILL TAKE THIS MONEY TO DO THINGS WITH OR WE AS A BOARD WILL COME FORTH WITH THINGS WE NEED TO DO. I MEAN, I MEAN.

YES. AND THAT'S PART OF THE.

SO THAT'S PART OF THE FUNCTION OF THIS COMMITTEE.

OK. MR. BEACH, TO SPEAK TO THAT LIST OF ORPHAN PROJECTS FROM THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM THAT WERE NOT TOUCHED.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A THERE ARE MORE REQUESTS THEN THERE WERE BOND DOLLARS AVAILABLE.

SO WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND THROUGH DISCUSSION AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL THERE WILL BE PROJECTS BROUGHT BACK FORWARD FROM THAT OR FROM PROJECT LIST THAT WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD FOR APPROVAL TO THE BOARD RECOMMENDING WHAT PROJECTS NEED TO BE DONE.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S WHAT I WAS HOPING I'D HEAR.

GOOD. OK, THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. SELDERS. YES.

THANK YOU, JAVIER, FOR THAT PRESENTATION AND I APOLOGIZE, I WAS TALKING TO DR.

RINGO, I GUESS I'LL ASK THIS QUESTION FOR YOU, WHO WOULD YOU SAY IS THE ULTIMATE CUSTOMER FOR THIS BOND PROGRAM? THE ULTIMATE CUSTOMER FOR THE BOND PROGRAM IS OUR STUDENTS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFFS, IT'S THE ONLY REASON WE'RE HERE.

RIGHT. SO ONE QUESTION THAT I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME CLARITY ON WAS, HAVE WE GONE THROUGH AND DONE SOME SORT OF SURVEY TO GET FEEDBACK ON THE OUTCOMES OF EACH OF THESE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE HAD FROM THE CUSTOMER'S PERSPECTIVE, ESSENTIALLY? I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH CERTAIN THE HVAC AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND ALL OF THOSE UPDATES, YOU KNOW, MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS WOULDN'T NECESSARILY LOOK AT THAT AND SAY, YEAH, WE KNOW EXACTLY THAT. THAT'S THE RIGHT THING THAT HAPPENED GIVEN THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. AND WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS I'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST MONTH OR TWO, AND I GET THE IMPRESSION THAT WHAT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD RECEIVE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY ACTUALLY RECEIVED. AND THERE'S PROBABLY A MISCOMMUNICATION OR SOME MISALIGNMENT ABOUT THAT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT FEEDBACK SAYING, OK, YEAH, WE'RE SATISFIED WITH THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED AND WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT.

HOW DO WE GET THAT THAT INFORMATION? SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN ANY REPORT CARDS ACTUALLY SUBMITTED OUT TO THE ACTUAL CUSTOMER, THAT BEING THE TEACHERS, THE STUDENTS AND THE STAFF FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS, THAT I'M NOT AWARE THAT THAT HAS BEEN DONE.

THERE IS AN EVALUATION MATRIX THAT IS TYPICALLY PERFORMED RIGHT WHEN THE PROJECT FINISHES. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS ACTUALLY DONE AS WELL.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO IT RIGHT WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

FOR EXAMPLE, ONCE YOU'RE AT SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, ONCE THE CONTRACTOR HAS SAID, YOU KNOW, MADAM PRINCIPAL, I'M DONE, YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING IS NOW YOURS.

YOU CAN OPERATE IT AS YOU NEED TO.

THAT IS THAT IS THE TIME TO ACTUALLY DO AN EVALUATION OF THE SERVICES THAT WERE RENDERED.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THE THE ISSUES OR THE CONCERNS OF SOMEONE HAS TEND TO THEY TEND TO FORGET.

[00:25:04]

SO I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY EVALUATIONS THAT WERE DONE AS PART OF THIS BOND PROGRAM AND AS PART OF EACH ONE OF THESE PROJECTS.

BUT THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT OF DOING, SIR.

OK, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL JUST WITH THE FEEDBACK.

I THINK THAT THE IMPRESSION THAT SOME PEOPLE HAD ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO THEM DIFFERENTLY AT A DIFFERENT TIME VERSUS WHAT THEY WHAT THE ACTUAL SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, THAT WAS PLANNED FOR.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE BEING EVALUATED ON THE THINGS THAT WE'RE PLANNED FOR AND THAT WERE COMMUNICATED FOR EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN. OK, WE CAN DO THAT.

THANK YOU. YEAH, JUST ONE OF THE THINGS IN MY HISTORY, THE FIRST DAY I GOT HERE WAS WHEN WE HAD HAD THE BIG MEETING WITH OUR CONSULTANTS WHO CAME IN AND SAID BASICALLY WE'VE LOOKED AT THE SCOPE AND THE ESTIMATES OF THE WORK THAT YOU PROMISED.

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

AND THE BOND ISSUE WAS FIVE FOUR SIXTY FIVE.

SO AT THAT TIME WE HAD ABOUT ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS MILLION AIRBALL.

I THINK AT THAT TIME THE BOARD HAD ADDRESSED IT PARTIALLY BY TAKING COMMITTING TO TAKE 10 MILLION A YEAR OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND TO SUPPLANT THE BOND FUNDS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. SO THAT'S 50 MILLION DOLLARS.

AND THEN IN MY MEMORY, WE ALSO THIS MAY BE MR. SELDERS POINT. THERE WERE SOME PROJECTS THAT WERE SCALED BACK SO THAT WE COULD MAKE SURE WE HAD THE MONEY TO DO IT.

AND THEN WE STARTED KIND OF PHASE ONE.

PHASE TWO, WE HAD A BUNCH OF PROJECTS TO GET STARTED IN S AND WE HAD SOME PROJECTS WE HELD OFF TO THE VERY END, LIKE THE NATATORIUM ONE TO MAKE SURE THAT MONEY WAS AVAILABLE TO DO THE JOBS AND DO THEM RIGHT.

SO FROM THAT FIRST BEGINNING IN THAT FIRST MEETING THAT I HAD, WE THINGS HAVE KIND OF MOVED AND CHANGED. I MEAN, ONE OF THE BIG GAME CHANGERS WAS SAVING WHAT I THINK IS MORE LIKE 12 OR 13 MILLION DOLLARS ON CONTINGENCIES THAT WE NEVER USED TO COMPLETE SOME OF OUR PROJECTS, AND THEN I THINK THERE WAS EVEN A SUBSEQUENT VOTE FOR THIS BOARD TO MOVE ADDITIONAL MONIES OF MORE THAN THE 50 MILLION SO THAT WE COULD COMPLETE ALL THE FINE ARTS PROJECTS THAT WERE ENHANCED.

WE HAD SOME SCHOOLS THAT WERE LEFT WITHOUT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE THEM.

EVEN SO, WE WERE ABLE TO DO BASICALLY FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS, MAYBE PLUS OF TOTAL WORK.

CUT IT BACK, SAVE IT.

I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS A MIRACLE.

I'M JUST SAYING A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENED.

THE INTEREST WE EARN FROM THE BONDS THEMSELVES CREATED A POOL OF MONEY THAT WE COULD USE TO THROW PROJECTS.

SO I THINK LISTENING TODAY TO EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD, IT WOULD BE KIND OF NICE TO FIRST ESTIMATE OF PROJECTS, THE SCOPE OF WHICH PROJECTS WERE INCLUDED.

AND THEN THE NUMBERS WE WERE LOOKING AT IN MAY I THINK OF 2017 WAS IT, LARRY? IT WAS MAY OF 2017.

THE NUMBERS WERE PRETTY CLEARLY ON THE PAGE.

IT WAS FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR BOND WITH ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK.

SO THAT WOULD BE, IT WOULD BE NEAT I THINK TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT AND THAT'LL TELL US WHAT ADDITIONAL PROJECTS WE WERE ABLE TO ADD AND PAY FOR WITH SAVINGS AND OTHER MONIES THAT WE FOUND IN THE GENERAL FUND.

AND LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS A MIRACLE.

I'M JUST SAYING IT WAS IT WAS REALLY A RELIEF THE WAY THE NUMBERS CAME TOGETHER AND WE WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THE THINGS THAT WERE PROMISED AND THEN DO A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE TABLE.

THEY WEREN'T ON THE TABLE FROM THE BEGINNING.

SO, AGAIN, MY CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THAT.

I KNOW THE BOARD PRIOR TO ME AND THEN SINCE I'VE BEEN ON AND HAS BEEN VERY DILIGENT TO TRY TO TRY TO DO WHAT WE PROMISED.

BUT THANK YOU, MR. GLICK. YES, THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. SELDERS, I BELIEVE IN YOUR COMMENTS.

YOU WERE REFERRING TO STAFF, RIGHT? NOT TO CITIZENS.

[00:30:02]

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WAY BACK, EVEN IN EARLY 19.

OH, I GUESS IT WAS 13, 2013 AND THEN INTO 2014 BEFORE THE BOND IS WE LISTED SPECIFICALLY BY SCHOOL THE ACTUAL PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DONE AND THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS. AND WE ACTUALLY HAD SIGNS MADE AT EACH CAMPUS AMOUNT OF THE AMOUNT AND WHAT WAS GOING TO BE THERE.

WE HAD THIS AND WE GAVE OUT LITTLE CARDS INDICATING ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DONE AT EACH CAMPUS. AND WITH VERY, VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, WE DID EXACTLY WHAT WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO. I'VE HAD SOME OF THE SAME COMMENTS AND I WOULD SAY, LET'S LOOK, I HAD DOCUMENTATION. LET'S LOOK AT WHAT WE PROMISED WE WERE GOING TO DO FOR YOU.

AND THE ANSWER WAS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID.

IN MANY CASES, THE ITEMS WERE THINGS THAT YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY LOOK AT.

SO IF WE IF WE SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO THIS IS THESE SEPARATE DOLLARS, IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT A NEW ROOF ON, WE WOULD PUT A NEW ROOF ON.

IF WE CAN DO HVAC WE DID THAT.

IF WE WERE GOING TO DO SECURITY, WHICH WE DID LITERALLY AT EVERY SCHOOL, SOME OF THOSE THINGS WERE NOT PROJECTS THAT YOU'D NECESSARILY NOTICE OTHER THAN MAYBE A NEW ENTRANCE TO THE SCHOOL, A SECURED VESTIBULE, A NEW ROOF.

YOU MIGHT EVEN NOT EVEN KNOW THAT WAS PUT ON BECAUSE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DONE DURING THE SUMMERTIME. SO I THINK WE, FOR THE MOST PART, DID EXACTLY WHAT WE HAD TOLD THE STAFF AND WHAT WE TOLD THE CITIZENS.

AS MR. MILLER WAS REFERENCING.

WE DID A LOT OF OTHER EXTRA STUFF.

AS YOU KNOW, WE ADDED THE BRAND NEW PLANETARIUM.

WE ADDED BATHROOMS FOR THE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS.

WE EXPANDED THE CLINICS IN ALMOST EVERY SCHOOL.

WE ADDED ELECTRICAL CONTROLS SO THAT WE WERE UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

AGAIN, WE EXPANDED SOME OF THE BAND HALLS.

WE DID MORE OF THAT. WE ADDED FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FOR FURNITURE FOR GILBREATH-REED.

WE WENT FROM A INITIAL TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET FOR THE NATATORIUM, UP TO OVER THIRTY THREE, ABOUT THIRTY THREE MILLION.

SO THESE ARE DOLLARS THAT WE AGREED TO SPEND AND STILL, AS YOU SEE, CAME.

OUT AT THE RIGHT NUMBERS AND WITH SOME SAVINGS THERE, SO, YEAH, I THINK IF WE EXPLAIN THAT AND WE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATES AND THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO, I THINK PEOPLE COULD SAY, OK, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.

AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE I DON'T I DON'T KNOW OF ANY PROJECT THAT WE PROMISED BACK IN 2013 AND 2014 AND WITH THE BOND COMMITTEE IN 2014 AND THE ELECTION OF 2014 THAT WE DIDN'T DELIVER. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING AT ALL THAT, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THAT WE DIDN'T DO THE INFORMATION, THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE OBTAINED FROM THE INITIAL 2013, 2014, EVERYTHING THAT WAS COMMITTED IN 2013 AND 2014 HAS BEEN ACHIEVED WITHIN THIS BOND PROGRAM. AND THEN SOME AS TRUSTEE BEACH HAS SAID EVERYTHING THAT THE BOARD HAS AGREED TO AS COMMITTED TO HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

AGAIN, AS MR. GLICK, AS YOU SAID, WITH THE ADDITION OF THE FINE ARTS SPACES BEING EXPANDED.

AND SO THERE'S A TREMENDOUS KUDOS TO THE BOARD FOR HAVING THE OVERSIGHT AND THE SEEING INITIATIVE, WHAT YOU SAW IN 2013 AND AND THE BIG MOUNTAIN IN FRONT OF YOU IN 2013.

AND TO BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT NOW IN 2021 TO LOOK BACK AND SAY, YES, WE WE DID EVERYTHING WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO AND THEN SOME AND AGAIN THERE ARE SOME SAVINGS, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S BEING ON THE PLUS SIDE.

THAT'S A GOOD THING. YEAH, I MEAN, I GUESS MY COMMENT WAS MORE ALONG THE LINES OF PEOPLE'S PERCEPTIONS, RIGHT? YEAH. SO IT WASN'T THAT IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

I THINK SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WHAT PEOPLE PERCEIVE THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN VERSUS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, THAT MIGHT GET A LITTLE CROSSED SOMETIMES.

AND SO I THINK TO YOUR POINT, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO GO BACK AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE SAID THAT WE DO AND THIS IS WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID, LIKE, OH, OK.

YEAH, I GET IT. BUT MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S THE CASE FOR ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS AND THE CUSTOMERS, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING AT.

ABSOLUTELY. MISS GRIFFIN.

YES. I'M GOING TO MAKE MY COMMENTS BRIEF BECAUSE A LOT HAS BEEN SAID.

BUT I JUST WANT US TO REMEMBER IN 14 THERE WAS A DIFFERENT MARKET.

THERE WAS A DIFFERENT SET OF SITUATIONS THAT WE WERE FACING.

AND BY THE END OF 14 AND 15, WE KNOW THAT MOSTLY ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS CAME IN OVER BUDGET.

[00:35:05]

BUT THE ONE THING WHEN WE DO CELEBRATE DR.

LOPEZ, THE ONE THING THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE AND IN HOWEVER THIS DOCUMENT IS FORMED, I THINK WE NEED A DOCUMENT THAT REFLECTS ALL THE THINGS THAT WE DID DO PER CAMPUS THAT IS READILY AVAILABLE SO THAT THE CITIZENS CAN REVIEW THAT, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WAS THE FACT THAT WE WERE GOING TO LEAVE THINGS ON THE TABLE AND WE DIDN'T LEAVE THINGS ON THE TABLE.

AND I THINK IT WOULD BE WORTH A REALLY NOT ONLY INVITING THE BOND COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT OUR ATTEND THE CELEBRATIONS, BUT I THINK THEY DESERVE A SIT DOWN OVERVIEW OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED SO THAT WHEN WE GET READY TO DO SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THIS, WE WON'T HAVE THE SAME NEGATIVE COMMENTS THAT WE HAD TO FACE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FACTS AND WE HAVE THE PROOF. SO LET'S CELEBRATE.

LET'S INVITE. BUT FOR THEIR DILIGENT WORK, I THINK THEY NEED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT WE DID EVERYTHING.

THAT'S IN ADDITION TO WHATEVER ELSE WE WANT TO BASICALLY DO IN THE DISTRICT, BECAUSE WE DID NOT KEEP THEM INFORMED AS WE WENT ALONG.

AND THERE WAS MANY REASONS WHY WE DIDN'T.

BUT HERE WE ARE ON THE OTHER END WITH IMPROVED BUILDINGS, NEW BUILDINGS, AND WE'RE AT A GOOD POINT. AND I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CELEBRATE.

WE DON'T NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO CELEBRATE IT FOR US.

WE WE MADE A COMMITMENT AND WE MADE IT.

AND LIKE YOU ALWAYS KNOW, THROUGH YOUR TASB TRAINING.

IF YOU DON'T TELL YOUR STORY, WHO'S GOING TO TELL IT FOR YOU? MR. GLICK.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID DO WHEN WE HAD THE GRAND OPENING CEREMONY FOR GILBREATH-REED AND DR. LOPEZ, YOU REMEMBER YOU WERE THAT WAS THE MEETING JUST PRIOR TO THAT WHERE YOU WERE ACCEPTED AS THE SUPERINTENDENT.

WE INVITED THE BOND COMMITTEE, ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE BOND COMMITTEE TO THAT MEETING AND THAT THAT CEREMONY.

AND THEY GOT A TOUR OF THE BUILDING.

AND I AGREE, AS WE GET TO THE COMPLETION, WE MIGHT WANT TO BRING THEM BACK.

BUT THAT WAS WONDERFUL FOR THEM TO SEE WHAT THEIR EFFORTS LED TO, ESPECIALLY IN THAT BUILDING, BECAUSE THE TOURS WERE SPECTACULAR.

AND THE SAME THING WITH CITIZENS WHO GOT INVITED, CITIZENS WHO HELPED WITH THE BOND COMMITTEE. SO WE HAD THE BOND COMMITTEE COMING AND THEN PEOPLE WHO HELPED SELL THE BOND AND THEY ALL CAME.

AND IT WAS A TREMENDOUS EPISODE IN OUR HISTORY SHOWING WHAT CAN BE DONE AND WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED. SO, YES, I'D AGREE.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON FROM THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. FERNANDEZ.

GOING TO OUR NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS CONSIDERED APPROVAL LOCATION OF PRIVATE CELLULAR TOWER

[VI.B. Action Items]

MR. YEAGER.

GOOD EVENING CHAIRMAN JOHNSON, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.

LOPEZ, THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION TO OUR SECOND PILOT SITE.

WE TALKED ABOUT IN DETAIL THE CURRENT TWO TOWER PRIVATE CELLULAR NETWORK GOING UP.

AND THIS IS JUST THE SECOND LOCATION.

I MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS THAT THE DAUGHERTY THE INITIAL SECOND PILOTS SITE AT DAUGHERTY WASN'T GOING TO WORK JUST BECAUSE OF THE LAND AND HOW CLOSE IT WAS TO THE SCHOOL BUILDING. SO OUR SECOND SITE WE DISCUSSED WAS THE MPA LOCATION.

AND THIS IS FOR YOUR APPROVAL DURING THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING THIS MONTH.

THE POLE LOCATION WOULD BE RIGHT THERE SOUTH OF BOTH MEMORIAL AND CISNEROS IN THAT VICINITY. AND THAT IS MORE THAN 150 FEET AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL BUILDING AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. ANY QUESTIONS? MS. GRIFFIN. YES, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SPOT, GRAHAM, YOU HAD OR WHATEVER WHERE IT SHOWED HOUSEHOLDS THAT DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET CONNECTION.

IS THIS THE MOST DENSE AREA THAT IT SHOWED? AND SO GIVE ME AN IDEA WHEN WE'RE ON FIRST STREET AND WE'RE COMING FROM MEMORIAL PATHWAY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT NEXT STREET IS OVER WHERE CISNEROS IS.

[00:40:05]

WHAT WAS THE SPAN OF THAT? I'VE JUST FORGOTTEN. YEAH, I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE IT ON THIS, BUT IT'S GOING BASICALLY A MILE AND A HALF NORTH. SO IT'S GOING IT'S GOING TO ROUGHLY BE THE SAME AS THE DAUGHERTY SCOPE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.

AND IT IS OUR HIGHEST DENSITY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ALMOST 3000 KIDS IN THIS ONE LOCATION THAT'S GOING TO SERVE ANYWHERE FROM 635 ON THE WEST SIDE ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND ALMOST TO THE LAKE OVER BY CENTERVILLE AND 66.

SO IT'S A MILE AND A HALF, TWO MILES ALMOST ACROSS ON THAT SIDE.

AND THEN ALL THE WAY UP TO THE NORTH SIDE.

ON THE SOUTH. 66.

635 FROM THE WEST, 66 AND CENTERVILLE ON THE EAST SIDE.

AND IT'S GOING TO BASICALLY BUTT UP AGAINST THE JACKSON ZONE.

SO THE JACKSON TOWER IS GOING TO BE MIRRORED RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE JACKSON TOWER TO THE NORTH, MPA TO THE SOUTH, AND IT'S KIND OF GOING DOWN THAT 635 CORRIDOR.

OK, UP UNTIL HITTING US WITH THE.

YEAH. SORRY I DON'T HAVE A MAP.

I CAN PROVIDE THAT TO YOU AND SHOW YOU THE EXACT ONE.

BUT THE JACKSON, THE FIRST PILOT SITE, THE JACKSON LOCATION IS GOING TO TAKE EVERYTHING IN THE DISTRICT FROM THE TOP WEST NORTHWEST CORNER OF 635 AND GO DOWN.

THEN THIS MPA LOCATION IS GOING TO OVERLAP THAT JACKSON LOCATION TO MPA LOCATION AND COVER BASICALLY THE WHOLE WEST SIDE, NORTHWEST SIDE OF GARLAND, CITY OF GARLAND AND GARLAND ISD. AND WHEN WE I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD AN UPDATE ON THE USAGE OF THE HOT SPOTS THAT WE HAVE DISSEMINATED.

YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THIS AREA THAT THIS IS COVERING, THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE HOT SPOTS ARE ALREADY THERE? BUT ONCE WE DO THIS, WHAT IS GOING TO BE OUR MEASUREMENT OF SUCCESS? WHAT ARE WE MEASURING FOR SUCCESS? HOW DO WE TELL WHETHER THIS IS APPROPRIATE OR NOT? IS THAT GOING TO BE THE CONNECTIVITY HOURS? IS THAT GOING TO BE THE ASSIGNMENTS? SO WE'RE DOING ALL OF THIS, BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT MEASUREMENTS.

SO WHAT IS OUR SUCCESS? AND I KNOW THIS IS A STATE INITIATIVE, BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS WORKING? AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE THAT ANSWER NOW AND YOU CAN BRING IT BACK AT A LATER DATE.

AND WE CAN BRING BACK ANOTHER PRESENTATION TO GIVE AN UPDATE REGARDING HOW ARE WE GOING TO LOOK AT THE SCOPE AND SEQUENCE AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO BASICALLY MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT. BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CONNECTION, YOU KNOW, AND THAT IS A HARD MEASUREMENT AS WELL.

WE CAN LOOK AT THAT SAYING A KID THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT NOW, HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT NOT JUST FOR CURRENT SCHOOL WORK, BUT FOR ANY KIND OF RESEARCH, JUST UNDERSTANDING AND GETTING THINGS INVOLVED.

YOU KNOW, IF I TAKE YOUR INTERNET AWAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU LOSE? IT'S KIND OF THING. IF WE GIVE KIDS INTERNET, WHAT DO THEY GAIN IS A QUESTION.

ANYTHING FURTHER? THANK YOU, MR. YEAGER. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS A NEW BID FOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CONTRACTOR, AN INCREASE IN PROJECT AMOUNT FOR LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL HVAC DUCTWORK REPLACEMENT, MR. PAUL GONZALES. WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE DUCTWORK AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, AREN'T WE? YES, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON, FACILITIES CHAIR JOHNSON, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

DR. LOPEZ, WE'RE BACK TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL.

WE'VE GOT TWO SECTIONS IN HERE, ONE FOR THE CONTRACTOR AND THE INCREASE OF THE PROJECT.

SO BACK BACK IN MARCH, I BROUGHT FORWARD THE DUCT WORK REPLACEMENT.

WE HAD OUR DESIGNING ENGINEER ALSO.

HIS ORIGINAL ROUGH ORDER OF MAGNITUDE, CAME BACK AT SEVEN NINETY SEVEN ZERO SIX ZERO.

AND WE WENT OFF THAT NUMBER.

YOU AS THE FACILITIES COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD APPROVED THE PROJECT.

WE PUT THE CSP OUT.

CSP 499-14-21, WENT OUT WE ARE HERE ALSO TO RECOMMEND TDR CONTRACTORS TO AWARD THE BID CAME BACK AT NINE HUNDRED NINETY FIVE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED, WHICH IS AN INCREASE FROM THE ORIGINAL ROUGH MAGNITUDE ORDER.

THE INCREASE IS ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT THOUSAND ZERO FOUR ZERO.

[00:45:04]

AND I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.

MR. BEACH, JUST QUICKLY, WOULD WE BE ABLE TO USE THE SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE REMAINING IN THE BUDGET FROM THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM TO OFFSET SOME OF THIS COST? MR. BEACH, I'LL SPEAK TO THAT SINCE WE'RE ALREADY IN ORDER FOR PROJECT TRACKING AND WITH FUNDS, INSTEAD OF SPLITTING PROJECTS BETWEEN FUNDS, IT'S ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION THAT WE UTILIZE THE FUND BALANCE SITTING IN 651.

THAT WAY, AS WE APPROACH OTHER PROJECTS, WE CAN TIE THOSE SPLITTING FUNDS AND TRACKING FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT WE UTILIZE A FUND 651 AND THEN WHEN WE APPROACH THOSE OPEN PROJECTS, WE CAN HAVE DISCUSSIONS IN REGARDS TO BOND FUND 681.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

YEAH. JUST REAL QUICK, I THINK I REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST, BUT WOULD YOU REVIEW THAT FOR ME ONE LAST TIME? SO SO IT'S BASICALLY IN YEAR YOU MAY WANT TO STEP IN HERE, BUT IF I REMEMBER IT WAS TO REPLACE THE DUCTWORK FROM THE AIR HANDLERS.

WAS THAT DUE TO THE NEW SYSTEMS BEING PUT IN OR.

I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN WE WERE REPLACING THEM.

OK, SO TRUSTEE MILLER, BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WE BROUGHT TO YOU THE PROJECT ITSELF IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE DUCT FOR OUR AIR HANDLERS.

WE HAVE NINE AIR HANDLERS AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL THAT DURING THE BOND PROGRAM, THOSE AIR HANDLERS WERE ACTUALLY REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW UNITS THERE.

AND IN ADDITION TO THE NEW UNITS, WE HAVE FAN COIL UNITS AND VAVS, WHICH IS VERY VARIABLE AIR VOLUME UNITS THAT DISTRIBUTE THE AIR WITHIN EACH INDIVIDUAL ROOM.

THOSE UNITS WERE REPLACED.

IT'S THE DUCT WORK BETWEEN THE AIR HANDLER AND THE VAV THAT WE ARE REPLACING.

THAT'S HIGH PRESSURE DUCT, FROM VAV TO THE DIFFUSER.

THAT'S CALLED LOW PRESSURE DUCT.

THAT WAS REPLACED AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM.

THIS DUCT WORK IS BEING REPLACED NOW BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING FAILURES WITHIN THAT DUCTWORK.

IT'S AN EXISTING DUCTWORK.

IT WAS BUILT WITHIN THE BUILDING IN 1976, HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED OUT.

AND SO IT'S NOW HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES WITHIN VARIOUS PIECES OF THE DUCT, MEANING THAT THE DUCK IS EXPOSED.

WE HAVE SOME CRACKS IN IT.

SO WE'VE GOT COMFORT ISSUES AT THAT CAMPUS IN THE WINTERTIME.

CLASSES THEY ARE STAYING TOO COLD IN THE SUMMERTIME, THEY'RE STAYING TOO WARM BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING A LOT OF AIR WITHIN THE CHASE.

AND SO THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO REPLACE ALL THAT DUCT WORK, TO IMPROVE OUR EFFICIENCY. ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. THAT WOULD BE PLACED ON THE CALENDAR FOR THE BOARD MEETING LATER THIS MONTH FOR APPROVAL.

MOVING ON TO ITEM SEVEN EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE HAVE TWO ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.

[VII. Executive Session:]

THREE ON A MATTER OF WHICH THE DUTY OF THE ATTORNEY TO THE GOVERNMENTAL BODY UNDER THE TEXAS DISCIPLINARY RULES, PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OR THE STATE BAR OF TEXAS CLEARLY CONFLICTS WITH THIS CHAPTER AND OTHER ITEMS. ONE DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION REGARDING DISTRICT [INAUDIBLE] COMPOSITION TWO CONSULT CONSULTATION DELIBERATION REGARDING CONSTRUCTION DISPUTE.

IT IS CURRENTLY 3:49 P.M.

AND WE ARE GOING INTO CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THIS TIME.

IT IS 4:20, AND WE ARE RETURNING FROM CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION, I CERTIFY THAT NOTHING WAS DISCUSSED AND DURING CLOSED SESSION THAT WAS NOT POSTED ON THE AGENDA OR LISTED ON THE AGENDA FOR AN APPROPRIATE ITEM FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION, SEEING NOTHING ELSE ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS AND NO ACTION TO TAKE AS A RESULT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.

DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT OF THIS MEETING? WE ARE ADJOURNED AT 4:21 P.M..
