Dec 07, 2021 Facilities Committee Meeting

[00:00:02]

ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON.

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum]

IN FACT, ALL OF OUR TRUSTEES ARE HERE.

AT THIS TIME, MS. HOGAN, DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS? NO, MA'AM. OK, VERY GOOD.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG TO ITEM THREE, OUR SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT DR.

LOPEZ. NO REPORT AT THIS TIME.

NO REPORT AT THIS TIME.

ALL RIGHT, WES, YOU SET IT, THE TONE.

ALL RIGHT, NUMBER FOUR, OUR GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL UTILITIES REPORT,

[IV. GISD Annual Utility Report 2020-2021 – Jimmy Beach]

COME ON UP TO OUR PODIUM.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THE PUBLIC AND WE CAN KEEP GOING.

GOOD AFTERNOON, FACILITIES CHAIR MS. GRIFFIN FACILITIES COMMITTEE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DR.

LOPEZ. JUST WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT MR. BEACH WAS SUPPOSED TO PRESENT TODAY.

HE IS IN JURY DUTY, SO I HAVE THE HONOR TO PRESENT THE FIRST TWO PRESENTATIONS.

SO I'VE DONE THESE IN THE PAST, SO LET ME GET STARTED.

SO OUR GISD ANNUAL UTILITY REPORT FOR 2021 IS AS FOLLOWS.

TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING TO SOME OF THE DISCUSSION TOPICS, TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING UTILITY USE AND COST SUMMARY, UTILITY TRENDS.

ENERGY REBATES AND INCENTIVES.

ENERGY INITIATIVES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISTRICT AND AT THE VERY END, IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS OR THE FACILITIES COMMITTEE HAD ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME.

SO UTILITY USE AND THE COST SUMMARY FOR AUGUST 2020, WE'RE LOOKING AT AUGUST 2020 TO JULY 2021. AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENT UTILITY, WHAT MAKES UP THE UTILITY COSTS FOR THE DISTRICT, AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION IS ALWAYS THE LARGEST FOR THE DISTRICT. THIS YEAR, THE 80 PERCENT OF THAT COST WAS A LITTLE OVER SEVEN POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS AND THEN ON YOUR WATER AND SEWER, WE CAME IN AT 13 PERCENT THERE AND IT WAS A LITTLE OVER ONE POINT TWO MILLION AND THEN AT THE VERY, YOU KNOW, THIRD WAS YOUR NATURAL GAS AT SEVEN PERCENT, AT SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FORTY SIX.

WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID FOR THE 2020 2021 UTILITY REPORT WAS NINE MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX DOLLARS AND FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR DOLLARS.

COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR WAS NINE MILLION ONE TWENTY FOUR THREE FORTY EIGHT.

WE HAD A TWO PERCENT VARIANCE.

THE INCREASE WAS A LITTLE OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED TWO ONE POINT NINETY SEVEN, SO THAT MADE UP PRETTY MUCH OUR UTILITY USE AND COST FOR THE 2020 2021 YEAR FACTORS, AS WE ALWAYS HAVE FACTORS THAT IMPACTED THE UTILITY COSTS AND THEN THE INCREASES FOR THE 2021, WE DID HAVE ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WAS ADDED TO THE DISTRICT PORTFOLIO. THE NATATORIUM BUILDING WAS THE ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE, SO THAT IMPACTED THE COST. WE HAD THE INCLEMENT WEATHER, ALSO KNOWN AS ICEMAGEDDON, ROLLING BLACKOUTS IN 2021 IN FEBRUARY, WHICH WAS VERY, VERY IMPACTFUL AND THEN WE HAD SOME EXTENDED SCHOOL HOURS AS PART OF THE INTERCESSION SCHOOL YEAR.

NOT VERY MUCH IMPACTFUL THERE, BUT THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL RUNTIMES FOR THE INTERCESSION THIS PAST SUMMER.

FOR SOME PARTICULAR REASON, WE HAD VERY, VERY HIGH HUMIDITY OR AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE WERE VERY HIGH IN HUMIDITY AND A LOT OF OUR PERFORMANCE ART SECTIONS IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE A LOT OF CRITICAL INSTRUMENTS AND THOSE DRAPES AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT COULD BE DAMAGED DUE TO HIGH HUMIDITY.

SO WE EXTENDED THE RUNTIMES FOR THE HVAC IN THOSE AREAS; THAT WAS IMPACTFUL.

MAJOR HVAC EQUIPMENT FAILURES AS WE SEE A LOT OF OUR EQUIPMENT AT THE END OF THEIR LIFE.

WE HAD SOME FAILURES THIS YEAR, SO WE HAD TO BRING IN REYNOLDS CHILLERS AND WHEN YOU BRING IN THOSE REYNOLDS CHILLERS, YOU KNOW THAT THEY RUN, THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY CONTROLS ON THOSE CHILLERS.

THEY RUN PRETTY MUCH CONSTANT JUST TO KEEP OUR BUILDINGS COOL.

[00:05:04]

THERE WAS ONE COST BENEFIT WHERE WE DID HAVE A COST DECREASE AND THAT WAS IN OUR IRRIGATION AND IT DECREASED BY 30 PERCENT AND THE CONSUMPTION BY 32 PERCENT.

SO THAT WAS A COST SAVINGS FOR US AND WE'RE TRYING TO INCREASE THOSE COSTS IN OUR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. WE CONTINUE TO TRY TO LOSE USE LOW FLOW IRRIGATION SYSTEM, NOZZLES AND HEADS.

LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TRENDING.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GRAPH, YOU'LL SEE ELECTRICAL USAGE IN KWH.

FOR 2021, WE HAD EIGHTY FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE HUNDRED AND TEN KILOWATTS FOR THE YEAR THAT WE'RE TALKING, WE'RE REFERENCING AND THEN ON THE ELECTRICITY SIDE, ON THE COST, ALSO ON THE 2021, WE HAD A TOTAL COST OF SEVEN MILLION FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY AND FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS YEAR, YOU'LL SEE, WOW, THERE WAS A BIG JUMP.

WELL, IF YOU REMEMBER '19 AND '20, WE WERE PRETTY MUCH SHUT DOWN FOR COVID.

SO THERE WAS A LOT OF SYSTEMS THAT WE BASICALLY WEREN'T RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY.

THERE WAS NO LOADS ON THE BUILDING, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE WAS A COST SAVINGS AND A LOWER PERCENTAGE OF CONSUMPTION AND IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR, YOU COULD SEE THAT'S WHEN WE WERE RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY WITH ALL OUR STUDENTS AND THERE WAS AN INCREASE THERE ALSO.

SO FOR THE 2021, I THINK WE'RE MAINTAINING VERY, VERY WELL ON THE ELECTRICITY TRENDS.

ON THE NATURAL GAS SIDE, AGAIN, ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU SEE THAT WE USED EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND EIGHT CUBIC FEET OR [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN ON THE NATURAL GAS COST FOR 2021, IT WAS A TOTAL COST OF SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX DOLLARS FOR OUR NATURAL GAS.

IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE HIGHEST RATE INCREASES FOR THE YEAR DURING THIS TIME PERIOD BETWEEN AUGUST AND JULY WAS RIGHT AFTER FEBRUARY WHERE WE HAD THE WINTER STORM. I BELIEVE THAT ATMOS GAS TRIED TO MAKE UP SOME COSTS THERE, SO THERE WAS A FLUCTUATION THERE.

SO AND AGAIN, IF YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR DUE TO COVID, WE WERE, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T CONSUME THAT MUCH GAS IN THAT TIME PERIOD.

SO I THINK WE DID VERY WELL THERE AND WE'RE MAINTAINING WITH OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT TRYING TO KEEP THOSE COSTS DOWN.

UTILITY TRANSFER, WATER AND IRRIGATION, HERE'S THE ONE WHERE WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT A SAVING. SO FOR THE 2021 WATER IRRIGATION USAGE OF KGALS, A THOUSAND GALLONS WHICH KGALS THE EQUAL OF A KGAL IS A THOUSAND GALLONS.

WE HAD ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE THOUSAND GALLONS THAT WERE CONSUMED AND THEN THE ACTUAL WATER AND IRRIGATION COSTS FOR 2021 WAS ONE POINT TWO NINE FIVE FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS, TWO HUNDRED TWENTY NINE FIVE FIFTEEN, IS WHAT WE PAID AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE WAS A SAVINGS THERE TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR ON THE IRRIGATION COSTS OF ONE POINT SIX THREE EIGHT THREE HUNDRED AND TWO.

SO AND THEN ALSO ON THE CONSUMPTION AT ONE FIFTY NINE THREE HUNDRED FOURTEEN.

SO WE ARE SAVING ON OUR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ALSO HAVE BEEN DOING IS WE'VE BEEN MANAGING A LOT OF OUR WEATHER STATIONS AND OUR CONTRACTOR AND OUR SUPPLIER, [INAUDIBLE] IS WE'RE UPDATING A LOT OF OUR WEATHER STATIONS. SO WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM AND TRYING TO MONITOR OUR WATER CONSUMPTION AND OUR IRRIGATION.

MR. GONZALES, WE HAVE A QUESTION.

YES? ACROSS THE BOARD ON OUR WATER AND IRRIGATION, OUR GAS AND ALSO ON THE ELECTRICITY, THE USAGE RATES. ARE THEY THE SAME? ARE WE PRETTY MUCH LOCKED IN AS FAR AS WHAT WE ARE PAYING LIKE PER KILOWATT HOURS? MR. GONZALES, ARE WE ON TARGET TO KEEP THAT RATE SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN THE COST THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE TODAY? LET ME GET YOU THAT INFORMATION.

I HAVE IT HERE IN MY IN MY BOOK AND WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING THAT UP.

MY OTHER PART OF THE QUESTION IS, FOR WHAT PERIOD OF TIME ARE WE LOCKED IN AT THOSE RATES? SO JUST WITH MY PRETTY MUCH, YOU KNOW, CONVERSATIONS WITH GP&L ON A DAILY, YOU KNOW, I

[00:10:01]

RIGHT NOW WITH GP&L, WE'RE STILL PAYING NINE POINT NINE PER KILOWATT TO GP&L.

THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS IN THE PAST ABOUT NEGOTIATING THAT COST, AND THAT'S THEIR COMMERCIAL RATE AND THEY PRETTY MUCH HAVE HAVE SHARED WITH ME AND DR.

RINGO ON A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD AND WE'RE PRETTY MUCH LOCKED IN AT THAT COMMERCIAL RATE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM GP&L OF A COST INCREASE.

IF THERE WAS ONE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GIVE US SOME TYPE OF NOTICE TO LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN INCREASE.

BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM GP&L.

OR OTHER PROVIDER FOR ABOUT TWENTY FIVE OF OUR CAMPUSES IS CAVALLO AND WE ARE LOCKED UNDER A POINT SEVENTY FIVE PER KILOWATT UNTIL 2025.

SO CARVALHO IS A GLO.

WE'RE VERY, VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE LOCKED LOCKING IN WITH THE GLO.

I BELIEVE GLOS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED BY THE UTILITIES FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET AWAY FROM A GLO AFTER THIS CONTRACT IS OVER WITH.

BUT WE ARE GOOD TO 2025 AND I DO A LOT OF BENCHMARKING WITH OTHER DISTRICTS.

IT'S VERY, VERY BENEFIT FOR GARLAND ISD TO HAVE THIS RATE.

IT'S ONE OF THE LOWEST IN TEXAS, SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE.

FOR ATMOS GAS, WE'RE PAYING ABOUT SIX POINT ONE FOUR SEVEN FOR CMF.

AGAIN AND THAT IS LOCKED IN UNTIL NOW A NATURAL GAS, IT FLUCTUATES WITH THE MARKET.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN PAYING ON AN AVERAGE.

BUT IT COULD FLUCTUATE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS.

THAT'S WHEN WE SEE A HIGHER COST HASN'T BEEN VERY EXTREME, BUT THERE IS A FLUCTUATION DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN THERE'S MORE OF A DEMAND AND THAT'S BASICALLY AS A MARKET GOES.

COST FOR WATER, FOR THE ACTUAL WATER FOR THE DISTRICT.

WE PAY FOR CITY OF GARLAND, SIX DOLLARS AND THIRTY EIGHT CENTS PER THOUSAND GALLON.

WE PAID FOR ROWLETT FIVE DOLLARS AND SEVENTY SIX PER THOUSAND GALLON AND AS OF I WAS TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION FROM SACHSE AND I DID GET IT, BUT THEY RUN A LITTLE DIFFERENT. SO THEY HAVE DIFFERENT TIERS.

SO THEY GOT TIER ONE, TIER TWO, TIER THREE AND TIER FOUR.

IF WE WERE TO USE THAT ONE METER SAY, WE JUST USE TEN THOUSAND GALLONS, WE WOULD PAY FOUR DOLLARS AND 90 CENTS.

TIER FOUR, IF WE USE THIRTY THOUSAND GALLONS, WE WOULD BE PAYING TEN DOLLARS A GALLON.

SO IT FLUCTUATES ON THEIR TIER SYSTEM.

SO BUT THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE PAYING CURRENTLY TO OUR UTILITY COMPANIES.

OK, I I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS GARLAND AND THE NINE POINT NINE THAT WE'RE PAYING FOR KILOWATT THERE, THAT WE'VE HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

I DID THAT SIX YEARS AGO, WENT IN AND TALKED WITH THEM TOO ABOUT THAT.

WE'RE THEIR BIGGEST USER, PROBABLY COMPARED TO PLASTIC PACK AND KRAFT AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHY THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO THOSE RATES.

BUT ANYWAY, ON THESE THREE DISCUSSIONS THAT YOU JUST MADE WITH US ON THE CITY AND THE ATMOS AND THE CITY WATER, COULD THEY AT ANY TIME COME BACK AND JUST IMMEDIATELY--I MEAN, ARE WE UNDER CONTRACT THAT THEY CAN'T JUST COME IN LIKE TOMORROW AND SAY, OK, WE'RE BUMPING YOU TO TEN POINT NINE CENTS PER KILOWATT? I MEAN, HOW DO WE NEGOTIATE OR WHAT DO WE WHERE DO WE STAND WITH THAT FROM? FROM MY EXPERIENCE, THERE IS NO NEGOTIATION USUALLY THAT PROVIDER WILL SEND OUT TO THE CUSTOMERS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN INCREASE AND A LOT OF THEM SAY DUE TO INFRASTRUCTURE DISTRIBUTION LINE COST FOR THEIR MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP.

OR THEY'LL SAY THAT THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE, FOR INSTANCE, WATER, THEIR SEWAGE AND PIPELINES AND THE SUPPLY FEEDS INTO THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES THAT THEY HAVE TO BE UPDATED DUE TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE AGE OF THE PIPING.

THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES THAT YOU, AS A CUSTOMER DOES NOT HAVE THE WEIGHT TO BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE THAT. EVEN IF WE'RE A LARGER DISTRICT, THEY PRETTY MUCH IT'S ACROSS THE BOARDS FOR THE CONSUMER.

AND THAT'S FROM MY EXPERIENCE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY NEGOTIATE THOSE COSTS.

OK. ANY OTHER QUESTION? THANK YOU.

SO THE ENERGY INITIATIVES, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST, WE'RE WORKING ON FORMALIZING AN ENERGY CONSERVATION PLAN.

[00:15:02]

LOPEZ OR DR. RINGO WILL CONTINUE UPDATING YOU ON THE SUNDAY UPDATES.

CONTINUE TO SEEK ENERGY REBATES.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE DONE SEVERAL REBATES.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

WE'VE FINISHED UP THE [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM AND THERE ARE REBATES OUT THERE AND I CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THOSE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THOSE TO THE BOARD IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE DISTRICT.

SO AS THOSE COME THROUGH, I WILL BE SHARING WITH THE BOARD.

ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THE FIRST PRESENTATION? TRUSTEES? I HAVE ONE. YES, MA'AM? FORMALIZE AN ENERGY CONSERVATION PLAN.

IS THIS A NEW PLAN WE'RE DEVELOPING BECAUSE DIDN'T WE HAVE A PLAN AT ONE TIME.

HAS IT EXPIRED? DO WE DO IT EVERY YEAR? KIND OF EXPLAIN THAT STATEMENT TO ME, PLEASE.

SO IN THE PAST, THE DISTRICT GISD HAD A ENERGY PLAN THROUGH AN OUTSIDE SOURCE AND WE HAD A CONTRACTOR MANAGING OUR ENERGY PROGRAM.

AFTER THE CONTRACT WAS EXPIRED AND WE DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR CONTRACT, THE BOARD HAS NOT HAD A FORMALIZED ENERGY PLAN FOR THE DISTRICT.

NOW, WE, THE DISTRICT, WE THE MAINTENANCE ENERGY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT, HAVE SET POINTS THAT WE SET FOR THE DISTRICT, FOR THE COOLING SEASON AND THE HEATING SEASON.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DO FOR BEST PRACTICES TO SAVE ENERGY.

BUT IS THERE ANYTHING IN A RIG OR A PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD? AT THIS TIME, THERE ISN'T.

OK, SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A FORMALIZED, DETAILED PLAN WITH TARGETS, DATES, TASK, WHATEVER IT IS TO ACCOMPLISH AND WE'RE DOING THIS INTERNALLY AND THEN THE PLAN WILL COME BACK BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE THEN MOVE TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

THAT IS CORRECT, MS. GRIFFIN.

THANK YOU. MR. GLICK. A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ONE. SO IS THERE ANYBODY IN YOUR DEPARTMENT MONITORING ENERGY USE? I THINK WE WERE DOING IT MORE ON A VERY, ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS, RIGHT? IS ANYBODY DOING THAT NOW? ABSOLUTELY, WE HAVE A VERY, VERY ROBUST SOFTWARE PROGRAM.

WE MONITOR ON A DAILY BASIS.

WE HAVE SOMEONE BASICALLY SITTING AT A WORKSTATION WITH MONITOR SCREENS ALL IN THE AREA, LOOKING AT SET POINTS, LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES, AND THAT'S HER DAILY JOB.

CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW I HAVE POSTED.

WE LOST OUR ENERGY MANAGER.

OUR ENERGY MANAGER WENT TO GO WORK FOR ANOTHER DISTRICT IN A DIFFERENT CAPACITY AND RIGHT NOW I AM LOOKING FOR AN ENERGY MANAGER AND THE POSITION IS POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.

AND THAT PERSON YOU HIRE WILL MONITOR THE PLAN WHEN IT'S APPROVED.

YES, HE WILL HELP ME DEVELOP AND FINALIZE THE PLAN AND MOVE FORWARD IN IMPLEMENTATION.

JUST ONE OTHER THING, MS. GRIFFIN.

SO I'VE MENTIONED HERE BEFORE THAT.

SO WE SHOULD BE LOOKING POTENTIALLY AT ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSSES AND I KNOW IN THE TRILLION DOLLAR INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN THAT JUST PASSED THERE IS FUNDING FOR ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSSES.

IT WOULD SOUND LIKE A PERFECT MARRIAGE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF MILES THAT A SCHOOL BUS PUTS ON IN A DAY AND RETURNED, IT COULD BE RECHARGED AND ALL THAT.

SO AND I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A FAIR NUMBER OF GRANTS THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING YOUR NEW PERSON COULD LOOK INTO OR OUR GRANT WRITING DEPARTMENT COULD LOOK INTO HELP FUND OUR NEXT PURCHASE OF SCHOOL BUSSES.

I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT THE PLAN THAT'S COMING OUT BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES ALSO FOR SOLAR, FOR A LOT OF OUR CAMPUSES THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO TAP INTO ALSO.

RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TWO CAMPUSES THAT DO HAVE SOLAR SYSTEMS ON TOP.

IT'S ROWLETT AND SACHSE AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT GROWTH THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AS WE DEVELOP NEW FACILITIES.

I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT A NET ZERO TYPE OF SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT'S SUSTAINABLE.

BUT WE SHOULD START LOOKING AT FUTURE LONG RANGE PLANNING FOR SOLAR TO HELP WITH SOME OF THESE UTILITY COST.

YEAH AND I THINK FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD AND YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT ROWLETT AND SACHSE PROGRAMS FROM THE [INAUDIBLE] LOAN HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

YES, SIR. THEY'VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

[00:20:02]

[V. Maintenance and Operations Work Order Update May 2021-July 2021 – Jimmy Beach]

OK, SO THIS IS OUR QUARTERLY UPDATE FOR MAINTENANCE WORK ORDERS.

THE TIME FRAME WE'RE LOOKING AT IS MAY OF 2021 TO JULY OF 2021 AND THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING BETTER, AS YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF HAD KIND OF A SPIRAL DOWN DURING OUR CLOSURES DURING COVID, BUT WE'RE STARTING TO GET THE NUMBERS BACK UP.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IN MAY, JUNE AND JULY OF THIS PAST YEAR, OUR REQUEST FOR THIS TIME PERIOD, WE'RE UP TWENTY ONE POINT SIX PERCENT.

WE HAD A TOTAL OF ELEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY REQUESTS, WHICH WAS AN INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR FROM NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE.

SO WE DID HAVE AN INCREASE ON REQUESTS SUBMITTED.

THEN ON COMPLETED WORK ORDERS, WE HAD AN INCREASE OF TWENTY EIGHT POINT FOUR PERCENT.

TOTAL AMOUNT OF WORK ORDERS COMPLETED DURING THAT TIME PERIOD IS NINE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE, COMPARED TO SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SIX FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. ONE THING I JUST WANT TO KIND OF SAY IS THAT, AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN CHALLENGED WITH VACANCIES IN THE DEPARTMENT, AND I GOT TO SAY THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THAT OUR STAFF IS BECAUSE WE ARE STILL PUSHING THE BAR AND I APPRECIATE THEM FOR THAT. MAINTENANCE WORK ORDERS YEARS TO DATE ACTIVITY DURING THIS DURING AUGUST 2020 TO JULY OF 2021.

LOOKING AT IT FROM A YEAR TO DATE ACTIVITY.

WE COMPLETED FORTY ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE AND WE'RE COMPLETED, REQUESTED WERE FORTY THREE THOUSAND FIVE, SEVENTY FIVE.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE REQUESTED THAN WERE COMPLETED, BUT WE'RE STILL WITHIN THE RANGE OF GETTING WORK ORDERS COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

PMS, PERCENTAGE OF PMS VERSUS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AS YOU CAN SEE, 2021 MAY THROUGH JULY, WE HAD SEVENTY FOUR POINT FIVE PERCENT OF ROUTINE REGULAR WORK ORDERS COMING IN AND COMING OUT AND THEN PM, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, WE HAD TWENTY FIVE POINT FIVE PERCENT.

PREVIOUSLY, THE YEAR BEFORE, DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD, WE HAD FIFTY FIVE PERCENT ON THE ROUTINE AND FORTY FOUR POINT NINE ON THE PM AND YOU'LL PROBABLY SAY, WELL, WHY WAS THAT? WELL, IF YOU REMEMBER DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, WE WERE RAMPING BACK UP TO GET SCHOOL BACK UP, YOU KNOW, AFTER COVID.

SO WE WERE FOCUSED ON THE PM TRYING TO GET OUR SYSTEMS, OUR INDOOR AIR--A LOT OF THIS HAD TO DO WITH MECHANICAL.

SO WE WERE DOING A LOT OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO GET OUR AIR QUALITY BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS TO MEET THE CDC GUIDELINES.

SO WE WERE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE PM LAST YEAR, NOT SAYING WE'RE NOT FOCUSED ANYMORE, BUT OUR GOAL IS TO BE AT LEAST AT 50 TO 60 PERCENT OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TO BE A HEALTHY ORGANIZATION IN THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT.

ON-TIME COMPLETION RATE FOR MAY, JUNE AND JULY, AS WE CALL ON TIME IS SEVEN DAYS OR LESS.

THAT'S THE GOAL THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAS COME UP WITH, THAT WE WANT OUR CUSTOMERS NOT TO WAIT MORE THAN SEVEN DAYS TO GET A WORK ORDER COMPLETED AND WE'RE EXCLUDING PMS PROJECTS.

THOSE ARE IN ANOTHER AREA.

WE DON'T ACCOUNT FOR THOSE AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT GISD COMPARES VERY HIGH AGAINST OVER THREE THOUSAND OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHEN IT COMES ON COMPLETION RATE.

WE MET OUR GOAL AT SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.

WE'RE AT SEVENTY EIGHT OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT AND WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN WITH THE STAFF THAT WE HAVE AND I HATE TO KEEP ON HARPING ON THAT, BUT IT'S JUST THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. EMERGENCY VERSUS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT.

WE'RE GOOD FIREFIGHTERS.

I TELL MY STAFF, Y'ALL ARE GOOD FIREFIGHTERS BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY QUICKLY TO RESPOND, AS YOU CAN SEE MAJOR THINGS THAT IMPACT THE SCHOOL.

THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN A SCHOOL OR WOULD IMPACT STUDENTS NOT BEING ABLE TO LEARN IN A SCHOOL DURING THE DAY.

WE DO A GOOD JOB. WE'VE ONLY HAD ONE MAJOR ISSUE FOR HVAC THAT WOULD IMPACT, YOU KNOW, STUDENT LEARNING. WE HAD TWO IN THE ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT.

[00:25:02]

SO WE'RE DOING REALLY GOOD ON EMERGENCIES VERSUS ROUTINE.

IT'S LESS THAN ONE PERCENT.

SO BUT WE STILL DON'T LIKE TO HAVE THOSE.

WE HAD ONE LAST EVENING AT ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES WHERE THE POWER WENT OUT LAST NIGHT AND OUR STAFF STAYED HERE, YOU KNOW, UNTIL EIGHT OR NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT TO GET THE POWER BACK ON SO STUDENTS WOULDN'T BE IMPACTED BY THAT TODAY.

SO THEY COME IN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR ME? TRUSTEES? MR. MILLER.

YEAH, THANK YOU, PAUL.

YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HAVING SHORTAGES OF LABOR STAFF POSITIONS AND SO FORTH AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT AN UNUSUAL THING, NO MATTER WHAT INDUSTRY YOU'RE IN TODAY.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THREE PARTNER CITIES THAT ARE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, I'M ASSUMING, I MEAN, I KNOW THEY HIRE THESE TYPES OF EMPLOYEES ALSO AS WELL AS DRIVERS AND THERE'S LIKE ALL KINDS OF COMMON DENOMINATORS, I THINK, BETWEEN US AND SOME OF THE CITIES.

WHILE WE MAY COMPETE SOMEWHAT, I JUST WONDER IF THERE'S A WAY TO WORK WITH THEM IN OUR RECRUITING EFFORTS.

YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A COMMON GOAL, THERE ARE COMMON WAY TO DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GIVE US MORE MASS, MORE APPLICANTS THAN WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING BY OURSELVES AND I JUST ASK THAT AS AN EXPLORATORY QUESTION, BECAUSE I KNOW I SAW TODAY THE CITY IS OUT LOOKING FOR CDLS PEOPLE WITH CDL LICENSE TO DRIVE VARIOUS JOBS THEY HAVE.

CITY OF GARLAND AND I'M SURE EVERYBODY ELSE IS IN THE SAME BOAT.

SO IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE COMPETE WITH THEM SOMEWHAT, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A WAY TO WORK WITH THEM AND IF THERE'S A BENEFIT TO IT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID IN MY PREVIOUS DISTRICT, WE HAD AFTER THE RECESSION IN 2008-09, WE LOST PROBABLY AROUND 20 PERCENT OF OUR WORKFORCE.

WE HAD TO RELEASE SOME PEOPLE WE HAD, WE HAD A FINANCIAL EXIGENCY AND WE HAD TO RELEASE PEOPLE. THEN WE CAME OUT OF THAT, DISTRICT WAS ABLE TO RECOVER AND THEN WE HAD TO HIRE EVERYBODY BACK. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WAS TO WORK WITH HUMAN RESOURCES.

I WORKED REALLY CLOSELY WITH HUMAN RESOURCES AND WE HAD A JOB FAIR AND BACK THEN YOU WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO OPEN A NEWSPAPER AND READ, YOU KNOW, A TRADES SECTION OF THE NEWSPAPER AND WE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY PUBLICIZING.

WE DID A GOOD PART MARKETING THE JOB FAIR FOR THAT SATURDAY.

WE GOT OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE TO SHOW UP FOR GROUNDS AND MAINTENANCE AND CUSTODIAL AND WHAT WE DID WAS WE BROUGHT IN HR, SET UP A BANK OF HR SPECIALISTS TO BE ABLE TO HELP ME PROCESS AND WE INTERVIEWED RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT AND BASICALLY HIRED PEOPLE THERE ON THE SPOT, AND IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL.

I'LL WORK WITH WITH DR.

RINGO AND DR. LOPEZ AND WITH GRADYNE BROWN.

MAYBE WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME WAY TO HAVE A JOB FAIR TO MAYBE RECRUIT, BUT ALSO MAYBE BRING IN THE MUNICIPALITIES AND MAYBE DO A JOINT EFFORT TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK TOGETHER OR SOMETHING. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE HURTING IN THE TRADES AREAS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE UP NEXT.

TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDED CONTRACTOR FOR THE ORIGINAL NUMBER 916 HARRIS HILL RENOVATION PROJECT 18 MONTHS.

THANK YOU, MS. GRIFFIN.

SO FACILITIES COMMITTEE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, TODAY, I BRING BEFORE YOU CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO RECOMMEND CONTRACTOR TO ORG #916 HARRIS HILL RENOVATION PROJECT.

IT'S AN 18 MONTH PROJECT.

IN YOUR PACKET, YOU'LL HAVE A BID FOR COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSALS UNDER 499-15-22 FOR HARRIS HILL RENOVATION PROJECT.

IT IS THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CONTRACTOR BE AWARDED TO THE INDICATED BELOW, WHICH IS CORE GROUP DPA CORE CONSTRUCTION.

THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF 10 MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS.

POTENTIAL FUNDING IS INDICATED BELOW, 2014 BOND AUTHORIZATION.

[00:30:03]

INTEREST EARNING FOR THE PROCEEDS OF THE SERIES OF THE 2015 BOND ISSUE FROM THE 2014 BOND AUTHORIZATION. SIX EIGHT ONE WOULD BE THE OTHER 70 PERCENT.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE CONSIDER OF APPROVAL? MR. JOHNSON? THANK YOU, MR. GONZALES. I NOTICED THAT OF THE FOUR TOP SCORED CLOSED SEAL PROPOSALS THAT WE RECEIVED ON THIS PROJECT.

CORE IS THE MOST IS THE HIGHEST BID OF THOSE TOP FOUR, AND THEY HAVE THE LOWEST SCORE OF THE TOP FOUR. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE BASIS FOR WHY YOU'RE RECOMMENDING CORE OVER THE OTHER THREE? YES, SIR.

SO THERE WAS TWO PARTS TO THE EVALUATION.

THE FIRST PART WAS BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT WENT OUT ON THE RFP AND THE ANSWERS AND THE COST AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THOSE SCORES, OTHER CONTRACTORS WERE LOWER IN THE AREA OF THE FINANCE PIECE OF IT.

THAT WAS ONE THAT WAS ONE PART OF THE EVALUATION.

THE SECOND PART OF THE EVALUATION, THERE WAS AN INTERVIEW PROCESS BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO BE THE MOST QUALIFIED, THE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE THIS VERY, VERY COMPLEX PROJECT.

SO THE TOP FOUR WERE BROUGHT IN AND THE THREE THAT ARE REFERENCED AS HIGHER IN SCORE AND LOWER IN COST BROUGHT IN THE SAME MECHANICAL CONTRACTOR.

SO THOSE THREE CONTRACTORS BROUGHT IN THE SAME MECHANICAL SUB THAT WAS GOING TO BE DOING THE SCOPE. DURING THE INTERVIEW, THERE WAS CERTAIN QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED AND THE COMMITTEE ASKED OF EXECUTION AND I DIDN'T FEEL I DIDN'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEIR EXECUTION PLAN. I FELT THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY THINKING OUTSIDE OF WAYS OF GETTING US IN A VERY, VERY STREAMLINED PROCESS OF GETTING OUR FACILITY BACK AND IT JUST WAS NOT A VERY GOOD EXECUTION PLAN BECAUSE THEY USED THOSE THREE VENDORS USE THE SAME MECHANICAL [INAUDIBLE] THIS IS HEAVY IN SCOPE AND MECHANICAL.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE WHERE THE WEIGHTS AT; THAT'S WHERE THE WORK IS GOING TO GET DONE IS THE MECHANICAL SUB.

NOW, AS AS GENERAL CONTRACTORS, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE ALL, YOU KNOW, EXPERIENCED GENERAL CONTRACTORS.

I THINK A FEW OF THOSE WERE ON OUR BOND PROGRAM AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, THERE WAS CONCERNS. THERE WAS LETTERS WRITTEN OUT BY THE DISTRICT FROM OUR PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT.

WE IDENTIFIED THOSE AS IN THE COMMITTEE.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE EVALUATION PIECES THAT ONE OR TWO OF THOSE CONTRACTORS DIDN'T EXECUTE VERY WELL, AND WE ALSO, AS A DISTRICT DOCUMENTED THAT DURING THE BOND PROGRAM.

SO IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE STAFF THAT WE AWARD CORE CONSTRUCTION DUE TO THEIR EXPERIENCE, THEIR SUBCONTRACTOR THAT IS BEING RECOMMENDED IS A LOCAL GARLAND CONTRACTOR THAT HAS DONE MANY PROJECTS HERE AT GARLAND ISD ON THE CHILL WATER SYSTEMS. THEY THEY'VE DESIGNED CHILL WATER SYSTEMS HERE IN GARLAND.

THEY'VE WORKED FOR GARLAND ISD AND SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS YEARS AGO.

FOR SOME REASON. I DON'T KNOW.

I KEEP ON ASKING THE QUESTION WHY DIDN'T THEY COME AND WORK FOR US IN THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM; WOULD'VE LOVED TO HAVE THEM HERE, BUT THEY DIDN'T.

BUT THEY'VE DONE WORK FOR US, AND THEY'RE A VERY, VERY REPUTABLE MECHANICAL CONTRACTING COMPANY THAT WILL BE TEAMING UP WITH CORE CONSTRUCTION AND CORE CONSTRUCTION IS A VERY, VERY LARGE, LARGE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THAT I BELIEVE AND THAT STAFF BELIEVES CAN MEET THE GOALS OF THE DISTRICT, AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BEING RECOMMENDED FOR THIS AWARD.

I'D LIKE TO CALL TRUSTEE ATTENTION TO PAGE TWENTY TWO, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE EVALUATION CONCEPT AND WHY THIS IS THE BASIS OF THE CRITERIA.

SO AS WE'RE TALKING, HE BASICALLY TALKED THROUGH WHAT'S BASICALLY ON THIS PAGE.

SO IF YOU JUST DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO VALIDATE THE COMMENTS HE JUST MADE TO US AND MR.

[00:35:03]

THANK YOU, MS. GRIFFIN. MAYBE FOR YOU, PAUL, MAYBE FOR DR.

RINGO, SO UNDER THE FUNDING, IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 70 PERCENT IS COMING FROM INTEREST OR SEVEN MILLION PLUS 30 PERCENT, THREE MILLION PLUS FROM THE ACTUAL BOND MONEY.

IS THAT GOING TO BE THE END OF OUR INTEREST EARNINGS OR IS IT MORE OR HOW MUCH MORE IS LEFT IN BOTH CATEGORIES? MR. GLICK, IT WILL BE ALMOST THE END OF INTEREST INCOME.

I'LL VERIFY THERE'LL BE VERY LITTLE LEFT.

WHEN I SAY VERY LITTLE, LESS THAN SIX FIGURES WITH WHAT'S OCCURRED WITH THE MARKETS NOW.

BUT WITH WHAT'S REMAINING? WE WILL BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR FUTURE PROJECTS THAT CAN BE ALLOCATED TOWARDS AND THEN WITHIN SIX EIGHT ONE, JUST THE GENERAL BOND [INAUDIBLE] GENERAL.

THE BOND FUNDS MR. FERNANDES AND ALLISON DAVENPORT ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO, AS THE PROJECTS HAVE REACHED CLOSE OUT OR CLOSED AT NINETY ONE, THERE'S ROUGHLY $6 MILLION THAT HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT CAN BE EXPENSED, SO [INAUDIBLE] INCOME OF LESS THAN SIX FIGURES A COUPLE WITH WHAT'S REMAINING IN SIX EIGHT ONE.

THE BOND DOLLARS [INAUDIBLE] ALLOCATE FOR FUTURE PROJECTS.

IS THAT SIX MILLION FIGURE YOU JUST GAVE AFTER THIS THREE MILLION? YES, SIR. YES.

NO, NO, IT WAS WITHIN THAT SIX MILLION WE IDENTIFIED THAT ROUGHLY THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO ALLOCATE. SO THREE MILLION MORE.

YES, SIR. NOT NECESSARILY PENNIES, BUT IT'S A MUCH SMALLER AMOUNT OF INTEREST.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MS. GRIFFIN. AND IF JUST YOU ALL TO BRING US AN UPDATE LIKE WE HAD BEEN TRACKING THAT PREVIOUSLY. SO WHETHER THAT COMES BACK IN A FINANCE COMMITTEE OR IT COMES BACK IN A FACILITIES COMMITTEE, THEN WE'LL HAVE THE EXACT FIGURES IF THAT IS ACCEPTABLE BY THE COMMITTEE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OK, TRUSTEE, THAT TAKES US TO THE END OF OUR REGULAR AGENDA, AND THEN WE WILL BE MOVING TO BOARD MEETING REGULAR BOARD MEETING FOR NEXT WEEK.

THE ACTION ITEM, A ONE WHICH IS THE NEW BID THAT WE'VE JUST TALKED ABOUT AND THAT WILL BE THE ONE THAT WE WILL REPORT ON, BE VOTING ON AT THE NEXT MEETING.

WE DO HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS ON THIS, I'M GOING TO

[VII. Executive Session: Executive session will be held for purposes permitted by Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Section 551.001 et seq.]

SO THE PEOPLE, AS I'M READING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION ON THE EXECUTIVE SESSION, IF YOU COULD GO ON IN AND GET US SET UP SO WE CAN KEEP MOVING.

SO AT 3:38, WE ARE PRIVILEGED TO MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, WHICH WILL BE HELD FOR PURPOSES PERMITTED BY THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT.

TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.001 PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551.071 PRIVATE CONSULTATION WITH BOARD ATTORNEY IN PERSON OR BY PHONE WHEN THE BOARD SEEKS THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY, ONE PENDING OR CONTEMPLATING LITIGATION, A SETTLEMENT OFFER, AND THEN THREE ON A MATTER IN WHICH THE DUTY OF THE ATTORNEY IS TO THE GOVERNMENT BODY UNDER THE TEXAS DISCIPLINARY RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OF THE STATE BAR OF TEXAS CLEARLY CONFLICTS WITH THE CHARTER.

DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION REGARDING CONSTRUCTION DISPUTE PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 551-074 DELIBERATION REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT, EMPLOYMENT EVALUATION, REASSIGNMENT DUTIES, DISCIPLINE OR DISMISSAL OF A PUBLIC OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE OR TO HEAR A COMPLAINT OR CHARGE AGAINST AN OFFICER OR AN EMPLOYEE.

C. PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 551-076.

CONSIDERING THE DEPLOYMENT SPECIFIC OCCASION FOR OUR IMPLEMENTATION OF SECURITY PERSONNEL OR DEVICES.

AT THIS TIME, WE WILL MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
