Oct 17, 2023 Board Bond Special Meeting

[00:00:01]

GOOD EVENING.

IT IS NOW 4:35, AND THIS IS THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR TUESDAY, OCTOBER

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum ]

THERE IS A QUORUM PRESENT.

MISS HOGAN, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC FORUM COMMENT CARDS? NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU, DR.

[III. Superintendent's Message]

WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF TWO THINGS.

THE FIRST THING IS WE'RE GOING TO BE BREAKING GROUND ALREADY THIS MONTH WITH THREE HIGH SCHOOLS, A TOTAL OF SIX FIELDS FOR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL.

THE SECOND THING IS, STARTING IN NOVEMBER, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT OUR SHATTER AND ENTRY RESISTANT WINDOW FILM STARTING IN IN THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY.

AND THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO DISCUSS THEM.

I WANT EMPLOYEES AND CITIZENS TO LISTEN TO AT LEAST THIS SECTION EVERY MONTH, SO THEY COULD BE UPDATED ON HOW THEIR TAX MONEY IS BEING WELL SPENT.

THANK YOU, DR. LOPEZ AND THAT TAKES US INTO INFORMATION ITEM A RECEIVE UPDATE ON ENTRY RESISTANCE FIELD OR WINDOW FILM

[IV.A. Receive Update on Entry-Resistant Window Film Installation]

SHATTERING ENTRY RESISTANT WINDOW FILM DETERS UNWANTED INDIVIDUALS FROM ENTERING A STRUCTURE OR CAMPUS AND PROVIDES VALUABLE TIME FOR AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN THE EVENT OF A CRITICAL INCIDENT.

GARLAND ISD IS COMMITTED TO COVERING ALL CAMPUSES WITH ENTRY RESISTANT WINDOW FILM IN THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR.

I CAN TAKE SOME LIMITED QUESTIONS ON ON WINDOW FILM, BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK.

BOARD ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? REAL QUICK MR. QUINN, CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY ON THE WINDOW FILM? YOU PUT THE SUMMARY IN THE TEN OUT OF ORDER.

DOES THE ORDER GO FROM COLUMNS OR DOES IT GO FROM ROWS? IT GOES DOWN FROM COLUMNS DOWN.

AND THAT IS TENTATIVE ALSO.

THERE'S MANY MANY FACTORS THAT COULD CHANGE IN THAT.

THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU.

B IS TO RECEIVE PRESENTATION ON THE BOND 2023 PROGRAM SUMMARY UPDATE.

[IV.B. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Program Summary Update]

LOPEZ SAID, FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT'S LISTENING, THIS IS OUR MEETING WHERE WE GO OVER THE BOND UPDATE EVERY MONTH. AND SO I WOULD JUST ASK YOU IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW AND KEEPING INFORMED AND INVOLVED IN THE BOND PROCESS, THAT THIS IS THE MEETING FOR YOU TO LOOK AT OR GO BACK AND PLAY THE MEETING WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.

MR. FERNANDEZ.

THANK YOU COMMITTEE CHAIR GRIFFIN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

DR. LOPEZ, HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR BOND 2023 PROGRAM SUMMARY UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

AND LET ME JUST ECHO WHAT BOARD MEMBER GRIFFIN JUST STATED FOR THE COMMUNITY.

PLEASE LOG ON AND LOOK AT THESE INFORMATIONAL VIDEOS THAT WE HAVE ONLINE.

YOU'LL FIND THESE VERY INFORMATIVE ON THE DIFFERENT TASKS THAT WE ARE PERFORMING AS PART OF THE BOND.

THERE IS A CHRONOLOGY THERE, SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT WE SAID IN JUNE AND AUGUST AND IN SEPTEMBER, SO THAT AS A COMMUNITY, YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THE THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE IN SUPPORT OF OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND TEACHERS.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL GET STARTED.

AGAIN, THE BOND, THE BOND 2023 PROPOSITIONS.

THERE WERE THREE PROPOSITIONS PROPOSITIONS A, B AND C, A IS THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK THAT HAD OUR FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS IN THEM.

MAJOR PROJECTS WITHIN THAT PROPOSITION B IS OUR MULTI-PROGRAM FACILITIES THAT IS BEING INCORPORATED AS PART OF PROPOSITION A FROM A FACILITY STANDPOINT. AND PROPOSITION C IS OUR COMPUTER 1 TO 1 REPLACEMENTS.

AS A REMINDER, THIS IS OUR TIMELINE THAT WE'VE HAVE THIS IS A PRELIMINARY TIMELINE THAT WE HAVE SHARED WITH THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY ON OUR TIMELINE FOR THE FIVE PHASES OF THE BOND PROGRAM.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING IS STAGGERED OUT.

STARTING WITH PHASE ONE.

YOU SEE THE FIRST THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2023, WE DID ARCHITECTURAL SELECTIONS.

WE ARE STILL PROJECTED TO DO ARCHITECT SELECTIONS FOR PHASE TWO IN FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.

[00:05:01]

SO I WANT TO THANK TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK OUR MAINTENANCE STAFF AND WITH THEIR SUPPORT, OUR COMMUNITY HAS SEEN OUR SIGNAGE.

SO WE NOW HAVE BOND SIGNAGE AT ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.

AND SO I WANT TO I JUST WANT TO THANK THE THE MAINTENANCE STAFF FOR GOING OUT AND SETTING UP THESE SIGNS.

WHAT MAY LOOK LIKE A SIMPLE TASK WAS A VERY COMPLEX TASK, A LARGE TASK TO GET THIS DONE.

SO JUST THANK YOU AND KUDOS TO OUR MAINTENANCE STAFF FOR PUTTING THESE TOGETHER.

MR. FERNANDEZ, AS YOU SHOW UP THOSE PICTURES OF THESE THESE BEAUTIFUL BOND CAMPUS PROJECTS AT EACH INDIVIDUALIZED CAMPUS, CAN YOU TELL THEM THE PROCESS IT GOT TO JUST PUT THESE UP? WELL, IT'S QUITE A IT WAS QUITE AN ARDUOUS TASK STARTING OFF WITH JUST THE SIGNAGE ITSELF.

SO I DID ACKNOWLEDGE MAINTENANCE, BUT I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT WORKED WITH US TO DEVELOP THE GRAPHICS AND WORKING WITH THEM, WE DEVELOPED WHAT GRAPHICS WAS GOING TO BE, WHAT SPECIFICALLY WAS GOING TO BE AT BEING DONE SPECIFICALLY AT EVERY SPECIFIC HIGH SCHOOL.

SO EXCUSE ME, AT EVERY SPECIFIC CAMPUS.

SO THESE SIGNS ARE CAMPUS SPECIFIC SIGNS.

THANK YOU TO THE PRINT SHOP WHO ACTUALLY PRINTED THESE SIGNS FOR US.

THESE ARE VERY LARGE SIGNS.

THESE ARE FOUR BY EIGHT SIGNS.

IT TAKES THREE POSTS TO TO KEEP THESE THINGS UP WITH A PRETTY BIG GUST OF WIND.

THEY CAN THEY'RE PRETTY BIG SAILS.

SO THREE THREE INTERNAL DEPARTMENTS THAT PLAYED A VERY BIG ROLE IN ASSISTING US GETTING THIS SIGNAGE OUT THERE.

THEY'RE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE COMMUNITY AS THEY DRIVE BY THEY CAN READ THE SIGNAGE AND LOOK AND SEE THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE SPECIFICALLY TO EACH ONE OF THESE CAMPUSES.

SO PLEASE LET THEM KNOW THE APPROVAL THAT HAD TO GO THROUGH IT.

WE CAN'T JUST PUT THESE SIGNS UP EVEN THOUGH IT'S OUR PROPERTY.

WELL, AND I APPRECIATE YOU MENTIONING THAT, SIR.

YEAH. ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT WE HAVE A WELL, IT'S A SIGN AND EVERYONE SAYS, WELL, YOU CAN IF YOU HAVE A YARD SIGN, YOU CAN PUT A SIGN UP IN YOUR YARD AND NO ONE'S GOING TO SAY ANYTHING. BUT WE HAVE THESE SIGNS.

AND SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A CITY PERMITTING PROCESS THAT WE HAD TO GO THROUGH.

WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE CAN'T JUST DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ALL TYPES OF INFRASTRUCTURE UNDERNEATH OUR, OUR AREA.

SO WE HAD TO PERFORM A DIG TEST BEFORE WE COULD ACTUALLY EVEN INSTALL A SIGN.

WE HAD TO CALL OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DID NOT HAVE, DIDN'T HIT A PIECE OF FIBER, DIDN'T HIT AN ELECTRICAL LINE, ANYTHING LIKE THAT, OR HEAVEN FORBID, A WATER LINE.

AND SO WE HAD TO DO ALL THAT BEFORE WE EVEN STARTED PUTTING THESE SIGNS UP.

SO I APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND AND IT'S TAKEN US A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT ALL OF OUR SIGNS ARE UP.

THIS PROJECT IS 100% COMPLETE.

SO I DO APPRECIATE ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENT'S EFFORTS AND GETTING THAT DONE.

AND I JUST WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW THE AMOUNT OF WORK IT TAKES JUST TO GET SIGNS UP.

IMAGINE WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A BUILDING UP WITH ALL THE PERMITS, THE DIGGING, AND SCHOOL DISTRICT DOESN'T HAVE THE NOVELTY OF JUST BEING ABLE TO DO WHAT WE DO IN OUR OWN HOME.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

IF WE WERE GOING TO BUILD A FENCE, WE COULD CONTRACT SOMEBODY TO COME UP.

THIS IS A SMALL PROJECT, BUT IT'S EXTENSIVE.

AND SO WHEN WE START SEEING THESE OTHER PROJECTS, UNDERSTAND WITH DESIGN AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WE ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE BECAUSE WE GOT TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT BEFORE WE BREAK GROUND, BECAUSE ONCE YOU BREAK GROUND, THERE'S NO TURNING BACK.

GO AHEAD, MR. FERNANDEZ.

THANK YOU SIR. OKAY, SO PART OF THE PHASE ONE IS DOING THE ARCHITECT NEGOTIATIONS, SO I WANT TO BACK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.

WE ACTUALLY DID ON THE THIRD QUARTER.

WE DID ARCHITECT SELECTIONS.

AND SO AT THAT TIME WE DID A POOL OF ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS, UM, WE ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS, CONSULTANTS RESPONDED TO OUR RFQ. THE BOARD APPROVED A POOL OF FIRMS. WE THEN TOOK THAT POOL AND REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THOSE WHO WERE AWARDED IN THE POOL, SPECIFICALLY TWO PROJECTS THAT WERE SIMILAR IN SIZE AND SCOPE TO THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING.

WE THEN EVALUATED THOSE RESPONSES.

WE SELECTED FIRMS BASED OFF OF THAT AND OFF OF INTERVIEWS.

WE SELECTED THOSE FIRMS. WE THEN PRESENTED THOSE FIRMS TO THE BOARD OF THE FIRMS THAT WE HAD CHOSEN SPECIFICALLY TO EACH PROJECT.

[00:10:04]

SO HERE YOU SEE THE PROPOSED FEES THAT WE RECEIVED FROM EACH ARCHITECTURAL FIRM AND THE NEGOTIATED FEE.

SO THERE'S A COST BETWEEN, AS I SAY, EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE.

AND SO WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS FAR AS THE DISTRICT GOES.

AND SO WE HAVE A PROPOSED FEE FROM A FIRM.

WE THEN HAD NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE FIRM WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH OUR PURCHASING ORGANIZATION AND DEALING WITH THAT.

AND SO THESE ARE THE NEGOTIATED FEES THAT YOU SEE FOR THESE SPECIFIC PROJECTS.

SO ON THIS SLIDE I WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE PLAYGROUNDS AND THE PERIMETER FENCING.

YOU'LL SEE ON THE PLAYGROUNDS WHERE WE HAVE THE PACKAGE.

PHASE ONE BID PACK SIX.

PHASE TWO BID PACK SIX, PHASE THREE BID PACK SIX.

WE HIRED ONE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM FOR ALL OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS.

WHILE THE PHASING SHOWS PLAYGROUNDS BEING DONE IN THREE DIFFERENT PHASES.

WE WANTED TO SELECT ONE FIRM BECAUSE WE WANTED THE CONSISTENCY ACROSS ALL OF THE ALL OF THE PLAYGROUNDS.

IT'S SIMILAR TO THE FENCING.

WE WANTED ONE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM FOR THE FENCING, AND THE FENCING IS BROKEN UP INTO TWO PHASES.

PHASE ONE BID BACK SEVEN AND PHASE TWO BID BACK SEVEN.

SO RATHER THAN TO GO OUT AGAIN AND SELECT ANOTHER FIRM FOR A DIFFERENT PHASE, WE WANTED TO CAPTURE ALL OF THAT WORK WITHIN ONE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM.

THE PACKAGING THAT YOU SEE HERE IS PRELIMINARY AND IT IS BASED OFF.

IT'S BASED ON THE DISTRICT PUTTING TOGETHER A PHASE AND BID PACK THAT WE PRESENTED PRIOR TO THE BOARD.

AS WE START WORKING WITH EACH FIRM ON THESE SPECIFIC ONES, WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH A FIRM AND DETERMINE IF IN FACT SOME OF THESE SOME OF THE WORK, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PLAYGROUNDS, THE PHASE THREE WORK, IF IN FACT THAT COULD COME SOONER, IF IT CAN COME SOONER, IT WILL COME SOONER.

AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO JUST WAIT FOR THAT PHASE JUST BECAUSE WE'VE PRELIMINARY SAID THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO BREAK THE WORK OUT.

SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THOSE FIRMS. WE'LL START HAVING THESE MEETINGS WITH THE FIRMS TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT HOW THAT LOOKS, HOW THE WORK LOOKS.

BUT THE PACKAGING THAT YOU SEE THERE IS IN LINE WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE SHARED WITH YOU BEFORE.

WHAT DID I HAVE TO SAY? OKAY, OKAY. JOHNNY.

MR. BEACH JUST JUST REAL QUICKLY.

YOU CAN ANSWER THIS.

HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU DO, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PACKAGING THE PLAYGROUNDS LIKE THAT AND WE'VE ALREADY HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THE SALE OF THE BONDS WHEN WE WANT IT LIKE DONE $148 MILLION OR HOWEVER MUCH WE'VE ALREADY SOLD? HOW DOES THAT IMPACT IF WE'RE ABLE TO MOVE THOSE PROJECTS UP AND WE HAVEN'T SOLD THE BONDS FOR THOSE OTHER LATER PHASES? THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, MR. BEACH, AND I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING THAT QUESTION.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WORKING WITH OUR FINANCE GROUP AND MR. DODDS, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT PIECE.

SO BEFORE WE ACTUALLY MOVE ANYTHING UP FROM THE INITIAL PLAN, WE'RE GOING TO BE COORDINATING THOSE DISCUSSIONS THROUGH OUR, OUR CFO AND TO SEE IF, IN FACT, THAT CAN HAPPEN WITH THE FUNDING SOURCES THAT WE HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. SELDERS. YES, THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION.

AS FAR AS THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE MACS, THERE WERE TWO NUMBERS THERE.

ONE REMAINED 6% AND THE OTHER ONE WENT FROM 4.25 TO 3.75.

SO WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOSE TWO PERCENTAGES? OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. SELDERS. I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING THE QUESTION.

SO THE MACS THAT IS THAT THERE'S SEVEN FACILITIES, SO SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS, SEVEN FACILITIES THAT WILL HAVE A SEVEN CAMPUSES THAT WILL HAVE A NEW FACILITY ADDED TO IT.

THE GOAL FOR THAT IS TO HAVE WHAT WE CALL A PROTOTYPE SITE ADAPT PROTOTYPE, MEANING THAT WE HAVE ONE MODEL THAT WE WILL WORK AS A DISTRICT.

WE WILL BE HAVING MEETINGS INTERNALLY WITH OUR WITH OUR ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT, WITH OUR FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT, WITH ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THAT PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE. WITHIN THAT FACILITY, WE WILL HAVE ONE FACILITY THAT LOOKS THE SAME FOR ALL SEVEN CAMPUSES.

[00:15:03]

SO WE'LL HAVE ONE DESIGN.

SO WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE FEE FOR THE VERY FIRST DESIGN.

AND SO THAT'S A SITE ADAPT.

SO THE FIRST THE THE THE FEE WILL BE FOR THE FIRST ONE THAT IS DESIGNED THAT TAKES THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL, FROM THE ARCHITECT, AND THEN ANY OF THE OTHERS.

THE OTHER SIX WILL BE AT THE LOWER FEE BECAUSE THEIR SITE ADAPT.

GOT IT. THANK YOU.

ONE OTHER QUESTION.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, IF YOU CAN SHARE THIS, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S A PRETTY DECENT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PROPOSED FEE ORIGINALLY AND THEN WHAT WAS NEGOTIATED, WHAT WERE SOME OF THE POINTS THAT WERE MADE SO THAT YOU GUYS, OR AT LEAST THE FIRMS, WERE WILLING TO ADJUST THEIR FEES WITHIN THE NEGOTIATION CONVERSATION? A LOT OF IT HAD TO DO WITH CLARITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO DO IS TO REALLY GIVE THEM MORE CLARITY ON THE SCOPE OF WORK, AND THAT'S PART OF THE INTERVIEW PROCESS. SO NOT ONLY JUST SELECTING A FIRM AND HAVING THEM PRESENT TO YOU DURING THE INTERVIEW, AND THEY GET TO TELL YOU ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT THEY DO, ALL OF THE GREAT PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE PAST, IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'VE DONE FOR OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

BUT WE'RE GARLAND, WE'RE UNIQUE.

SO WE HAVE CERTAIN NEEDS.

SO BEING ABLE TO HAVE THAT NEGOTIATION AND SAY, THIS IS WHO GARLAND IS, THIS IS A UNIQUENESS OF US AND IT HELPS THEM BETTER.

IT HELPS THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHO WE ARE BETTER.

AND SO ONCE THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, THE TYPE OF SERVICES THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, THEY'RE ABLE TO ADJUST THEIR FEE BASED UPON SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE GARLAND MODEL IS, WHAT GARLAND IS LOOKING FOR.

GOOD. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THAT WAS AN INITIAL CONVERSATION.

RIGHT. AND SO ONCE WE GET INTO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, AS THEY'RE ASKING QUESTIONS AND THINGS COME UP, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS NUMBER TO CHANGE AS WELL.

OVERALL, THIS IS SORT OF A STARTING POINT.

IS THAT RIGHT? SAY THAT AGAIN.

SO THIS NEGOTIATED FEE.

SO IS THIS GOING TO BE LIKE A FIXED FEE NOW.

SO ONCE WE START THE PROJECT THAT'S WHAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FEE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.

YES SIR. SO MY QUESTION IS AS THINGS HAPPEN AND SAY FOR INSTANCE, THEY CHOOSE OR DECIDE TO DECIDE TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT MATERIAL OR, YOU KNOW, USE A DIFFERENT METHOD THAT MAKES IT, MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE COST EFFECTIVE.

DO WE STILL PAY THIS AMOUNT OR DOES THE PROJECT FEE GET ADJUSTED AS WE'RE GOING ALONG? SO THE FEE LET ME JUST CLARIFY.

THE PERCENTAGE OF FEE IS BASED OFF OF THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION.

OKAY. SO THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION, IF WE'RE ABLE TO COME UP WITH COST SAVINGS IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS, THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL SEE A LESS OF A COST.

THE FEE STILL REMAINS THE SAME.

THE PERCENTAGE OF THE FEE REMAINS THE SAME, BUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

OKAY. GOT IT.

THANK YOU, MISS STANLEY.

OH, I'M SORRY, MR. DODDS. SORRY.

CHAIRMAN GRIFFIN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

AND DR. LOPEZ, I WANT TO GO BACK AND READDRESS MR. BEACH QUESTION, JUST TO MAKE SURE ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT IS HOW WE MAY ESCALATE SOME OF THE BOND PURCHASES. AND SO WE'RE HAVING MEETINGS RIGHT NOW WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISORS, HILLTOP SECURITY.

AND SO WE WILL BECAUSE WE MAY BE ABLE TO BUILD THINGS A LITTLE QUICKER OR WHATEVER.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO FUND THOSE AS THEY'RE GOING ALONG.

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN, IF A DIFFERENT BOND SALE PLAN THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY STATED.

AND SO THAT WILL ONLY HELP US AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE PROJECTS.

[00:20:01]

AND IF WE CAN, ANYTHING THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD THAT WE'RE ABLE TO MOVE TO QUICKER IT'S JUST GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONAL THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO SAVE FROM THAT CONTINGENCY FUND OUT OF THAT BOND MONEY, SO THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO POSSIBLY THERE MIGHT BE SOME ORPHANS AT THE END OF ALL THE PHASES.

THERE MAY NOT BE, BUT YOU ALWAYS HOPE FOR THAT.

BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT THAT WE GET TOO LATE IN IT.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WHAT THE VOTERS AND THE CITIZENS VOTED FOR, THAT WE'RE ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL THOSE PROJECTS.

SO THAT'S MY AND IF WE GET SOME OF THEM EARLIER, I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND THAT'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING.

EVEN IF WE DECIDE TO ACCELERATE WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY MEANT OR WANTED TO DO ON BOND SALES, THAT WOULD ALSO WITH INCREASED INTEREST RATES AND DIFFERENT THINGS, HELP OUT IF THE AT THE END, IF WE HAVE ADDITIONAL INTEREST REVENUE ON THAT, IT ALL HAS TO BE PART OF THE BOND PROJECT.

THAT'S HOW IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SPENT.

AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.

IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING THAT THE TAX RATE OR ANYTHING HAS BEEN SET, BUT IT WILL COULD HELP US IN THE END, LIKE YOU SAID, IS BECAUSE NONE OF US KNOW WHAT INFLATION IS GOING TO BE.

NONE OF US KNOW WHAT INTEREST RATES ARE GOING TO BE DOING OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS EITHER.

SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING.

AND IF WE DECIDE TO ACCELERATE AND THE BOND OR GOING OUT AND SELLING BONDS, OF COURSE IT WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD AND TO THIS COMMITTEE SO THAT YOU YOU WILL HAVE TO PASS THAT AS A PART OF THE BOND SALES.

MS. STANLEY. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT GRIFFIN.

OKAY, SO I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.

SO THE FIRST ONE IS THESE NEGOTIATED FEES.

ARE THESE IN LINE WITH WHAT OUR ANTICIPATION WAS WHEN WE SET OUR BOND TOTALS THAT WE ASKED FOR? YES. THESE ARE AS FAR AS OUR BUDGETING.

YES, MA'AM. YES. YES, MA'AM.

AND SO WILL WE START TO SEE, THANK YOU FOR LATER IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WE GET OUR ITEMIZED THING.

I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT ARE WE GOING TO SEE THIS SOMEWHERE IN THAT THAT FILE LATER ON YOU'LL SHOW US, THAT SHOWS US THAT WE'RE WITHIN OUR BUDGETED AMOUNTS.

WITH ALL THESE FEES AND STUFF, YOU'LL SEE YOUR YOU WILL SEE THE BUDGET PER PROJECT, THE EXPENDITURES PER PROJECT, THE ENCUMBRANCES PER PROJECT.

SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE ALL OF THOSE DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING SPENT FOR EACH, FOR EACH SPECIFIC PROJECT THAT WE HAVE.

OKAY. BUT SO FAR WE'RE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SO FAR.

YES, WE AS THE DISTRICT, AS A DISTRICT, WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE PERCENTAGES THAT THAT WE ARE SEEING.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS PAGE? PLEASE CONTINUE.

THANK YOU. SO I WANTED TO BRING YOU AN UPDATE ON THE PHASE ONE BID PACK ONE, WHICH IS A BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELD.

AS YOU RECALL, THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS RELEASED EARLIER THIS YEAR TO OUR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS. WE HIRED AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM EARLY SO THAT WE COULD GET STARTED ON THE WORK.

THE PHASE ONE PORTION OF OF THIS BID PACKAGE HAS NAAMAN FOREST, ROWLETT, SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS IS THE CONVERSION I WAS GOING TO SAY REPLACEMENT, BUT IT'S THE CONVERSION OF GRASS FIELDS OVER TO TURF FIELDS FOR BOTH OUR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL ALSO INCLUDES DUGOUTS.

IT INCLUDES SOME OTHER AMENITIES AS A BACKSTOP, SOME SCREENING IF YOU WILL, CANOPIES.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE BEING DONE AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

SO WE HELD CAMPUS CAMPUS MEETINGS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS IN SEPTEMBER.

WE ACTUALLY HELD COORDINATION MEETINGS ON THE SEPTEMBER 22ND, THE 25TH.

WE DID HAVE OUR PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER THE 28TH WITH THE SELECTED CONTRACTOR.

WE HAVE STARTED MOBILIZING.

SO FENCING IS GOING UP ACROSS WHAT I CALL FENCING, MEANING SECURITY FENCING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION FENCING, THAT'S ALL GOING UP ON ALL THREE CAMPUSES. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR AT THIS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, AND WE'VE GOT A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME ON THIS ONE. SO THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A WINTER PROJECT.

BUT RIGHT NOW EVERYTHING LOOKS EVERYTHING LOOKS WELL ON THAT.

NOW THE PHASE TWO PORTION OF THIS WE ARE THAT INVOLVES LAKEVIEW, CENTENNIAL, NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, THOSE THREE CAMPUSES, WE

[00:25:09]

WE HELD A KICKOFF MEETING WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM ON THE 29TH TO TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT PHASE TWO, WHERE THOSE CAMPUSES, THE DESIGN OF THOSE CAMPUSES, THE TURF WILL BE VERY SIMILAR FROM A DESIGN PERSPECTIVE.

NOW WE ARE DESIGNING THAT VERY SIMILAR TO THE FIRST PHASE, BUT THERE ARE SOME ANOMALIES WITH EVERY ONE OF THESE, YOU KNOW, GARLAND, SOUTH, GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND, EACH ONE OF THESE CAMPUSES IS A IS A LITTLE UNIQUENESS TO IT.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH OUR DESIGN FIRM.

PHASE THREE IS OUR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

AND WE HAVE HAD COACHES AND ADMINISTRATOR MEETINGS WITH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

AND SO THEY'RE VERY ABREAST OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THERE.

I THINK THAT THE I THINK THE COMMUNITY WILL BE THOROUGHLY, THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK ONCE THE WORK IS COMPLETE. I THINK OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THE WORK WHEN WE'RE DONE.

WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THIS PROJECT HERE.

WE HAVE A QUESTION, MR. SELDERS. YES, I KNOW AT ONE POINT I HAD GOTTEN QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FIELDS AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO TAKE A SIMILAR APPROACH, THAT YOU ARE WITH THE MACS AND HAVING A MODEL, AND THEN JUST USING THAT SAME MODEL FOR ALL OF THE OTHER SITES.

THE CONCERN WAS THAT IF, YOU KNOW, ONE, ONE FIELD WOULD BE THE MODEL THAT YOU ARE DOING FOR THE NAAMAN FOREST, ROWLETT AND SACHSE FIELDS.

AND THEN EVERYBODY ELSE WAS JUST GOING TO HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.

SO JUST WHAT I'M SEEING HERE, IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF THE COACHES, ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO GIVE OR NEEDED TO GIVE INPUT SPECIFIC TO THEIR CAMPUS SITUATION, THEY HAVE MET, OR YOU GUYS HAVE ALL MET AND THEY'VE GIVEN YOU WHAT THEY THEIR THEIR FEEDBACK, AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THE DESIGN TEAM AND KIND OF MARRY ALL THAT TOGETHER.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

YES, SIR. OKAY. TRUSTEE SELDERS I'LL GIVE YOU A BRIEFING.

HOW HOW THE WORK WAS BEING MANAGED IS WE WANTED TO CREATE WHAT WE CALL A GLOBAL UMBRELLA MEETING.

SO WE HELD A, UM, A LARGE MEETING THAT ENCOMPASSED ALL CAMPUSES, ALL BASEBALL, SOFTBALL COACHES, THE CAMPUS BOYS ATHLETIC COORDINATOR, THE GIRLS ATHLETIC COORDINATOR, OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS. THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED WITH THIS PROJECT.

WE STARTED AT THE VERY TOP, GIVING EVERYONE A BROAD VIEW OF WHAT THE SCOPE AND THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT WAS.

WE THEN SUBSEQUENTLY HELD INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS MEETINGS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU HOLD A BROAD MEETING, EVERYONE CAN'T GET THEIR SAY.

AND IT'S LIKE, HEY, I GOT A SPECIFIC QUESTION FOR MY CAMPUS.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SPECIFIC CAMPUS MEETINGS.

SO WE HAVE SPECIFIC CAMPUS MEETINGS WITH AVERY CAMPUS, ALL OF THESE CAMPUSES I WILL SHARE WITH YOU.

ALL OF THESE MEETINGS WERE DONE VIRTUALLY BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE, AND EVERYONE'S TIME IS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO COACHES.

THEY'RE DOWN TO THE MINUTE AND IT'S HARD TO GET ON THEIR SCHEDULE.

SO VIRTUAL MEETINGS WORKED BETTER FOR THEM TO GET EVERYBODY ON BOARD AND TO REALLY HEAR THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW SPECIFICALLY ON THEIR CAMPUSES. SO TO SAY I WILL SAY THIS THERE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL PROGRAM PROJECT VERSUS THE MAC PROJECT.

THERE ARE NO WITHIN BASEBALL THERE ARE BASEBALL IS THERE'S SO MANY RULES AND THERE'S BASEBALL THERE'S SO MANY STATISTICS IN BASEBALL.

BUT IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO BASEBALL, WE HAVE SPECIFIC DISTANCES FOR THE FOR FOR THE BASES, SPECIFIC DISTANCES BETWEEN THE PITCHERS, THE PITCHING RUBBER AND HOME PLATE.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO OUTFIELD FENCING, IT'S WHATEVER YOU WANT.

THERE'S REALLY NO SET STANDARD ON THAT.

THERE'S NO SET STANDARD OF HEIGHT, THERE'S NO SET STANDARD OF HOW CLOSE YOU NEED TO BRING IT IN.

I MEAN, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE GAMES THAT WE SAW WITH THE RANGERS AND ASTROS VERY UNIQUE FIELDS.

AND SO WE'RE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR ALL OF OUR FIELDS.

WE DO HAVE SOME UNIQUE FIELDS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND SO EACH ONE OF THOSE IS BEING ADDRESSED INDEPENDENTLY.

I JUST WANT TO INTERJECT.

SO IT ISN'T THE SAME AS WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE MACS BECAUSE NOBODY HAS A MAC, RIGHT? SO EVERYBODY'S GOING TO GET THE SAME WHEN WE FIRST BUILD THE MAC.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELDS? AND THIS IS WHERE THE QUESTIONING COMES IN, IS THAT THERE'S SOME SCHOOLS THAT ARE GOING TO GET NEW FIELDS, SUCH AS GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

[00:30:04]

AND WE HAVE ESTABLISHED FIELDS ALREADY WITH INEQUITIES FROM FENCING TO SOME HAVE ALREADY A SCORERS BOX UP IN THE STANDS. AND SO IT GOES.

IT GOES IT VARIES FROM SOFTBALL TO BASEBALL.

SO WHAT WE DID IS WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO COMMIT A STANDARD FOR THE ONES THAT WE'RE REDOING, THE STANDARD THAT WE'RE REDOING.

LIKE IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE IN THE SAME PLACE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A NEW TURF, YOU'RE GOING TO GET NEW DUGOUTS, YOU'RE GOING TO GET GROUNDED ELECTRICAL, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A BACKSTOP, AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET CANOPIES OVER YOUR SEATING AREA.

OKAY. NOW ON THE FIRST PHASE, YOU SAW SOME SCHOOLS NEED EXTRA LIKE, NAAMAN, NAAMAN NEEDS ADA ACCESSIBILITY AND IT NEEDS DRAINAGE WHERE NAAMAN IS SITTING.

AND THAT INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS A LOT OF MONEY.

OKAY, NOBODY ELSE IS GETTING EXTRA DRAINAGE AND ADA BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED IT.

ROWLETT IS ALMOST SITUATED PERFECTLY SACHSE WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE BACKSTOP TO MAKE ROOM FOR SEATING, AND THEN THEY'RE GETTING THE ADDITIONAL SEATING.

NOW, WHEN WE DO THE ADDITIONAL SEATING, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE AN AREA.

SO IF ONE DAY WE COULD AFFORD THE, UM, THE SCORES, THE SCORES BOX, I CALL IT THE SCORES BOX.

IT'S NOT A PRESS BOX. IT'S MORE LIKE A SCORES BOX.

IT'S IT'S A SMALL LITTLE AREA RIGHT FOR THEM.

IF ONE THEN WHEN, IF WE COULD AFFORD THAT, WE'LL GET THAT.

BUT BUT LIKE GARLAND ALREADY HAS ONE.

SO WHEN GARLAND GETS THEIR NEW FIELD WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN TRANSPORT THAT ONE OVER SO WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE.

AND IF WE DECIDED TO BUY A NEW ONE FOR EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY GETS ONE.

BUT THAT'S WHERE THE DISCREPANCIES ARE COMING BECAUSE WHEN YOU BUILD A NEW FIELD, YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY TRANSPORT EVERYTHING FROM THAT OLD FIELD LIKE FENCING AND LIGHTING. AND THEY'RE SAYING, WELL, THEY'RE GETTING THAT EXTRA STUFF.

CAN YOU JUST ALLOT US THE MONEY SO WE COULD DO WHATEVER WE WANT WITH THAT MONEY AND DO GET EXTRA STUFF.

AND THE ANSWER IS WE HAVE TO BUILD THESE NEW BUILDINGS.

IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS NOT GETTING WHAT THESE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE GETTING, RIGHT.

WE'RE BUILDING BRAND NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THAT EQUITY.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

THERE ARE SOME SCHOOLS, LIKE WHEN YOU GO THEY THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH.

YOU KNOW, LAKEVIEW'S BASEBALL FIELD IS REALLY, REALLY IN BAD SHAPE, YOU KNOW, AND NOBODY'S RUNNING TO THEIR ASSISTANCE RIGHT NOW TO HELP THEM OUT.

BUT WHEN THEY GET A NEW FIELD, IT'S GOING TO LOOK COMPARABLE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OVER THE TOP AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THINGS CAME.

BUT THEY'RE ALL GOING TO GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO GET NEW BATTING CAGES.

WE DIDN'T GET NEW BATTING CAGES.

WELL, IT'S THE SAME THING WITH A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THEY'RE GETTING A NEW GYM.

NOT EVERYBODY'S GETTING A NEW GYM.

IN THIS BOND, WE JUST DO WHAT WE CAN WHENEVER ALL THE DUST SETTLES.

MR. BEACH CALLED IT ORPHAN PROJECTS.

IF THE BOARD DECIDES THESE ARE ORPHAN PROJECTS, WE WANT TO TO INCLUDE TO BEEF UP.

IF THERE'S MONEY AVAILABLE, THEN THEN THIS WILL BE ON THE LIST.

THAT'S ALL I'M PROMISING.

THIS WILL BE ON THE LIST AT THE END IF WE NEED TO.

STANLEY, SO WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

SO I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

BUT IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE ONE FIELD THAT HAS A BATTING CAGE AND ONE DOESN'T, THEY'LL HAVE BATTING CAGES.

IT JUST MAY NOT BE A BRAND NEW BATTING CAGE, BUT THEY'LL ALL HAVE A BATTING CAGE.

YEAH, THEY ALL HAVE. THEY ALL CURRENTLY HAVE BATTING CAGES.

THEY DO NEED UPGRADES.

THE BATTING CAGES DO.

AND IDEALLY, IN A PERFECT WORLD, RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT.

BUT THAT'S LIKE OUR MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM OUTSIDE OF THE FIELDS IS THE BATTING CAGES.

YEAH, BUT I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE LIKE IN THE SITUATION WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE LEAVING THEM WITHOUT KEY COMPONENTS TO WHAT WE SAY IS A...

EVERYBODY HAS WHAT I WOULD SAY, EVERYBODY DOESN'T HAVE THE IDEAL THINGS, BUT THEY HAVE THEM, HAVE THEM.

AND THEN ONCE A MAC IS BUILT, THEY COULD USE THEY COULD EVEN HIT INDOORS AT THE MAC.

IT'S OKAY.

YEAH, I GET IT. THANK YOU.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THIS? PLEASE CONTINUE.

OKAY, SO I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU A SCHEDULE HERE OF THE PHASE ONE PROJECTS.

AND WHEN I SAY PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE WE'VE JUST RECENTLY SHARED WITH YOU, THIS IS A LEGEND THAT YOU SEE THE ARCHITECTURAL SELECTION, THE DESIGN PIECE, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE DURATION OF THE WORK AND THE PROCUREMENT PORTION OF IT AND CONSTRUCTION.

SO YOU SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE MACS THAT YOU SEE THERE, THE DESIGN, THE PROCUREMENT PIECE OF IT AND THE CONSTRUCTION.

[00:35:02]

SO THESE WERE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID IN NEGOTIATIONS IS ADJUSTING SOME OF THESE SOME OF THE DISCIPLINES THAT HAVE TO TAKE PLACE SOME OF THE STAGES OF A PROJECT. AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, THE PROJECTS HAVE MULTIPLE STAGES.

ARCHITECT SELECTION IS ONE STAGE DESIGN IS ANOTHER STAGE, PROCUREMENT IS ANOTHER STAGE, AND THEN CONSTRUCTION IS ANOTHER STAGE.

AND SO THIS SCHEDULE HERE COMES FROM THE INFORMATION THAT WE GOT FROM THE NEGOTIATIONS MEETINGS.

THIS WILL BE REFINED.

YOU WILL THEN BEGIN TO SEE A MUCH MORE REFINED SCHEDULE FOR THESE PHASES, SO THAT YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE AT FROM A DESIGN PERSPECTIVE, WHERE WE ARE FROM A PROCUREMENT PERMITTING PERSPECTIVE.

WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE ON THERE THE SCHEDULE THAT YOU'LL SEE IS IDENTIFYING WHEN THE BOARD MEETINGS ARE GOING TO TAKE PLACE, WHEN THE PROJECT IS PLANNING TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU FOR AWARD.

AND SO YOU'LL SEE ALL OF THOSE, ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WILL START BE FORTHCOMING TO YOU.

THIS IS JUST A WHAT WE CALL A 30,000 FOOT VIEW FROM A SCHEDULE, AND IT WILL GET MUCH MORE DETAILED AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

MADAM PRESIDENT. YES.

MR. JOHNSON, I HAVE A QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE.

YOU INDICATED THAT THIS WAS BASED UPON FEEDBACK FROM THE ARCHITECTS.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT TYPE OF FEEDBACK YOU'RE GETTING? BECAUSE THIS SCHEDULE TO ME DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE.

OKAY. I MEAN, IF IT'S SOLELY ABOUT DESIGN, LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE DESIGN PHASE OF PERIMETER FENCING IS LONGER THAN IT TAKES TO DESIGN AN ENTIRE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I MEAN, THAT MEANS FENCE.

YEAH. SO THE PERIMETER FENCING PORTION, WHAT THAT IS, IS YOU'RE SEEING THAT'S ALL OF THE FENCING PORTION.

THAT'S ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE TO RELATE TO THAT.

NOW MIND YOU, THE PERIMETER FENCING, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT HIRING AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM FOR PERIMETER FENCING.

AND I'LL JUST SHARE WITH YOU.

SO PEOPLE HAVE ASKED THE QUESTION.

IT'S A FENCE.

WHY DO YOU NEED AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM.

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BUILD A FENCE? IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WE'VE GOT DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAT THE STATE HAS MANDATED FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY.

THOSE ARE STILL EVOLVING.

AND THE THE GROUPS THAT HAVE THEIR FINGER ON THE PULSE, ON WHAT THE STATE IS MANDATING ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS. THEY HAVE THEIR FINGER ON THE PULSE, EXACTLY KNOWING WHERE THE STATE IS GOING WITH THIS.

SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO HIRE THE RIGHT ORGANIZATION THAT CAN THAT CAN HELP US FACILITATE WHAT TYPE OF FENCING, BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DETERMINED WHAT TYPE OF FENCING WE'RE GOING TO USE.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE HAVE TO HAVE WHAT WE CALL THERE'S TWO THERE'S A TWO PRONG APPROACH TO EVERY ONE OF THESE PROJECTS.

AND THE TWO PRONG APPROACH IS THERE'S A THERE ARE MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN IN-HOUSE WITH DEPARTMENTS THAT RELATE TO EACH ONE OF THESE PROJECTS TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON.

AND THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WITH EACH COMMUNITY TO LET THEM KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS PROJECT IS.

THERE'S TWO, TWO MOST IMPORTANT PROJECTS FOR THE COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW THAT REALLY HIT HOME IS PLAYGROUNDS AND FENCE, PLAYGROUND. GREAT.

I'M GOING TO GET A NEW PLAYGROUND, BUT WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING OR IS IT GOING TO BE IN THE SAME LOCATION? IS IT GOING TO BE DIFFERENT? SO THOSE ARE A LOT OF INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS THAT WE PLAN ON HAVING WITH OUR COMMUNITIES.

FENCING. A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT, WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? BECAUSE CURRENTLY WE HAVE A WALKING PATH THAT WE WALK STRAIGHT TO THE BUILDING AND THERE'S NO FENCE.

SO WE CAN WE CAN CLEARLY GET THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WHAT WHAT OBSTACLE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IN FRONT OF US, AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO IMPACT US? WE DON'T WANT TO JUST DO THE WORK.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS, AND THOSE WILL BE LED BY OUR ARCHITECTURAL FIRM.

[00:40:06]

AGAIN, THIS IS PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE.

I FORESEE ONE, THERE'S TWO PROJECTS THAT I FORESEE MOVING UP FROM A DESIGN PERSPECTIVE THAT'S PLAYGROUNDS AND FENCING, I REALLY DON'T I DO NOT THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT LONG TO DO THAT PORTION.

IT WILL COME SOONER.

BUT AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A PRELIMINARY PIECE WITH TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHO THE FIRMS ARE.

AND REALLY DURING THE NEGOTIATION PIECE.

YEAH AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER.

I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS TRULY BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE HEARING FROM ARCHITECTS.

AND SINCE IT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE WE'VE ESTABLISHED WHAT TYPE OF MATERIALS OR WHAT TYPE OF FENCING WE'RE NECESSARILY GOING TO GO WITH, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND VIEW THIS AS MORE OF JUST KIND OF A PLACEHOLDER SCHEDULE, BECAUSE IF THEY'RE ALL BASICALLY THE SAME AND THERE'S A LITTLE THERE'S ONE BLOCK THIS WAY OR ONE BLOCK THAT WAY, BUT THEY'RE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE DESIGN PHASE FOR ALL THESE PROJECTS, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY OF THE PROJECTS WE'RE DOING OR HOW COMPLICATED THE PROJECTS WE'RE DOING, ALL WE'VE BASICALLY ALLOTTED THE SAME AMOUNT OF DESIGN TIME.

AND I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING YOU THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE A COUPLE OF THESE UP, BUT I MEAN, FOR INSTANCE, IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM DO I FEEL LIKE DESIGNING AN ADDITION TO LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD TAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME IS I DON'T KNOW WE DO A FENCE AT EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS.

IT'S STILL HERE'S THE PERIMETER OF OUR BUILDING.

I MEAN, ONCE WE PICK THE MATERIALS WE'RE GOING TO USE, I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEFEND THE PERIMETER.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF IT.

WE CAN HAVE AS MANY COMMUNITY MEETINGS AS WE WANT TO ON IT, BUT IT'S THERE TO TO IT'S THERE TO PROTECT THE PERIMETER.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE MUCH BASED ON A COMMUNITY MEETING.

IT'S JUST AN INFORMATIONAL.

SO THAT SHOULDN'T DELAY THAT PROSPECT ANY.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M GETTING AT BECAUSE BECAUSE WE ANNOUNCED THAT WE'RE BASICALLY NOT GOING TO BE DONE WITH ANYTHING UNTIL 2026.

WELL, EXCEPT FOR THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELDS, WE'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF PUSHBACK ON THAT.

AND I THINK WHAT I CAN TELL THEM REASONABLY IS SOME OF THESE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE DONE LONG BEFORE 2026, AND THEY SHOULD BE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME OF THIS STUFF DONE WAY SOONER THAN THAT.

SO I GUESS THAT'S MY CONCERN WHENEVER WE START PUBLISHING THESE THINGS TO THE PUBLIC.

AND WE LITERALLY WERE PUSHING INTO LIKE THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2026 BEFORE WE FINISH ANYTHING OTHER THAN BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELDS.

THAT'S MY CONCERN.

THANK YOU. AND I AND I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THE SCHEDULE? THANK YOU TRUSTEES. CONTINUE, PLEASE.

OKAY, SO I WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON OUR OWNER TOOL.

WE GOT A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE.

WE'VE HELD A KICKOFF MEETING AND AN IMPLEMENTATION MEETING WITH WITH PROJECT BATES.

THE SOFTWARE THAT IS FROM A COMPANY NAMED SYSTEM MATES.

SO PROJECT BATES IS THE NAME OF THE SOFTWARE THAT WE HAVE PROCURED.

AND SO WE'VE HELD THREE MEETINGS WITHIN THAT.

WE HAD ORGANIZATIONS FROM OUR TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT, OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT, OUR PURCHASING DEPARTMENT, OUR FACILITIES DEPARTMENT HAVE ALL PARTICIPATED IN THESE.

WE'RE MOVING FORWARD FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE TRAINING.

THIS WAS A KICKOFF MEETING, AND WE'RE NOW DIVING INTO THE DETAILS OF BUILDING THE PROJECT, OF BUILDING THE PROGRAM FOR THE DISTRICT.

AND SO WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON, ON ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT OF THIS PIECE OF SOFTWARE FOR THE DISTRICT.

ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS ABOUT THIS PORTION? CONTINUE. THANK YOU.

SO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE CONTRACT STATUS FOR WHAT WE CALLED WE CALL UNASSIGNED PHASE PROJECTS.

IF YOU RECALL, PART OF WHAT WE WE SHARED WITH THE BOARD WERE THE BOND PROGRAM HAS FIVE PHASES.

WELL, WITHIN THOSE FIVE PHASES ARE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT NEED TO BE DONE THAT ARE BEING DONE WITHIN THOSE PHASES.

SO WE'RE STILL TRACKING THOSE, BUT SOME OF THEM ARE BEING DONE WITHIN THE FIRST PHASE AND THE SECOND PHASE.

AND SO THIS ONE WE SHARE WITH YOU WE'VE GOT A LAND CONTRACT FOR THIS IS THE LOCAL AREA NETWORK.

THIS IS NOT PROPOSITION THREE.

THIS IS ACTUALLY PART OF PROPOSITION A THE NOT EXCUSE ME PROPOSITION C THIS IS PART OF PROPOSITION A.

THIS IS 63 CAMPUSES THAT WILL BE IMPACTED WITH THIS.

WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY GROUP.

[00:45:02]

THAT'S ALL OF OUR SERVERS AND ROUTERS.

AND THAT'S ALL THE THAT EQUIPMENT THAT'S BEING UPGRADED.

AND WE HAVE A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM UPGRADE CONTRACTS.

THIS GIVING YOU THE DATES WHEN THE BIDS ARE DUE, FIRE ALARM CONTRACTS, 43 CAMPUSES THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED WITH FIRE ALARM UPGRADES 53 CAMPUSES ARE HAVING SECURITY CAMERA REFRESHES.

INTRUSION ALARMS HAVE 3 THAT ARE HAVING SOME INTRUSION ALARM UPGRADES TO THEM.

54 CAMPUSES ARE HAVING THEIR SECURITY CARD CARD KEY ACCESS BEING IMPROVED.

WE HAVE A PORTABLE CONTRACT THAT IS BEING TAKEN TO THE BOARD THIS MONTH, SO THAT ALLOWS US TO START TO MOVE PORTABLES, DEMO PORTABLES, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

SO THAT'S BEING TAKEN, BEING BROUGHT TO THE BOARD.

OUR DDC CONTROLS FOR HVAC THAT WAS APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT CONTRACT.

THE OTHER ONE IS THE WATERPROOFING AND THE DOOR HARDWARE.

WE'RE WORKING ON ON DEVELOPING THE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THOSE TWO PIECES THERE.

OKAY, SO I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS IS OUR FIRST RUN OF OUR FINANCIALS FOR THE BOND PROGRAM.

THIS HAS PHASE ONE PROJECTS, GIVES YOU OUR CURRENT BUDGETS FOR THE PHASE ONE ALSO GIVES YOU OUR COST TO DATE.

THEY'LL GIVE YOU A RUN DATE OF 9/25 ON THAT.

WHAT YOU'LL START TO SEE IS THIS IS A PART OF WHAT WE'LL BE PRESENTING TO YOU ON A MONTHLY BASIS, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID AS WE STARTED TO WIND DOWN THE LAST BOND PROGRAM.

WE'RE GIVING YOU REPORTS FROM ORACLE.

SO THIS IS DATA FROM ORACLE.

THIS IS NOT DATA THAT COMES FROM A THIRD PARTY PIECE.

WE FELT THAT BASICALLY WORKING WITH OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

FELT THAT GIVING YOU THE DATA THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE REPOSITORY OF RECORD IS IS MORE VITAL TO YOU THAN GIVING YOU A THIRD PARTY DOCUMENT THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE DATA THAT YOU CAN REALLY REFERENCE AND MAKE AN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT.

SO YOU'LL GET THIS IN DETAIL AS, AS AS THE PROJECT GET HEAVIER.

AND AS WE START MOVING ON FROM PHASE ONE TWOS AND THREES, THIS REPORT WILL GET LONGER.

AND SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK OUR EXPENDITURES, OUR BUDGETS, OUR ENCUMBRANCES, AND WHAT OUR REMAINING BUDGETS ARE.

TRUSTEES, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, MR. GLICK? THANK YOU MA'AM.

AGAIN I'VE ASKED THAT THESE NUMBERS BE TWO THINGS.

ONE, THEY INCLUDE ALL FEES, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL FEES, CONTINGENCY FEES.

THAT WOULD BE ONE THING. SO MY QUESTION IS DO THEY DO THAT? AND MY QUESTION NUMBER TWO IS I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW THESE NUMBERS COMPARE TO WHAT WE TOLD THE PUBLIC AND WHAT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOND COMMITTEE. THANK YOU.

ARE YOU PREPARED? YES.

OKAY. CONTINUE.

OKAY. SO THE CURRENT BUDGET IS THE PROJECT BUDGET IT'S NOT THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET.

THAT'S THE ALL IN BUDGET FOR THAT SPECIFIC WORK.

SO THE CURRENT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CURRENT BUDGET DOLLARS, THAT THOSE DOLLARS LINE UP WITH THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN SHARED WITH THE BOARD, I BELIEVE THAT WAS DONE THROUGH A BOARD INSIGHT GIVING YOU ALL OF THE COST FOR EACH PHASE, ALONG WITH THE COST FOR UNASSIGNED WORK. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE DOLLARS AND DO A COMPARISON BETWEEN THOSE DOLLARS AND THESE DOLLARS, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY LINE UP.

THEY THEY'RE THEY LINE UP EXACTLY FOR THE PHASE ONE PORTION OF THE WORK.

GOING FORWARD, YOU'LL SEE THIS AGAIN BECOME MORE BROADER AS WE AS WE BRING IN ADDITIONAL PROJECTS AND TRUSTEE GLICK THE SECOND PORTION OF YOUR QUESTION ESCAPES ME, IF YOU COULD RESTATE THAT SECOND PORTION.

WELL, LET'S GO BACK TO THE FIRST.

SO THESE NUMBERS ON THIS PAGE UNDER CURRENT BUDGET ARE ALL INCLUSIVE.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

MY SECOND QUESTION WAS HOW DO THESE NUMBERS ALIGN WITH WHAT THE BOND COMMITTEE CONSIDERED, WHICH IS THE DOLLARS THAT WE EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE PUBLIC WITH? YES. SO WHEN YOU TAKE THESE NUMBERS AND YOU LINE THESE NUMBERS UP WITH ALL OF THE FIVE PHASES, BECAUSE THIS JUST SHOWS PHASE ONE.

IF YOU LINE THIS UP WITH ALL OF THE FIVE PHASES, YOU'LL LINE UP WITH TO THE PENNY ON HOW THOSE DOLLARS ARE ALIGNED.

[00:50:03]

YEAH. SO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED ON ITEM 683508 SECURITY FILM IS WE GOT A GRANT THAT IS GOING TO COVER, I THINK, MOST OF THE COSTS, IF NOT ALL THE COST.

SO MAYBE THEN WE NEED TO HAVE A FOOTNOTE SOMEWHERE REFLECTING THAT THIS WAS THE COST THAT WE ANTICIPATED.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE REAL COST BECAUSE WE GOT A GRANT THAT WILL COVER THAT MAYBE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.

JUST SO WE HAVE PLUSES AND MINUSES AS WE PROCEED.

I THINK THAT WOULD HELP US ALSO.

SO, MR. GLICK, IF I MAY. YEAH, THE GRANT IS A SEPARATE FUND.

THOSE DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT FOR THAT SPECIFIC FUND.

WHEN WE BUILT THIS BOND PROGRAM, WE ANTICIPATED DOLLARS FOR SECURITY FILM, WE'RE SHOWING YOU THE DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR SECURITY FILM.

THOSE ARE THE DOLLARS THAT ARE THERE.

THOSE ARE DOLLARS THAT ARE NOT BEING TOUCHED FOR ANYTHING ELSE, UNLESS WE'RE BEING TOLD TO USE THOSE DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

SO WE WANT TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS WE CAN TO THE COMMUNITY.

WE ORIGINALLY SAID WE WERE GOING TO FUND SECURITY FILM AS PART OF THE BOND, THAT THOSE ARE THE DOLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED TOWARDS THAT, THE GRANT FUND, THAT'S A SEPARATE FUND. SO WE'RE NOT MOVING THIS MONEY AROUND JUST BECAUSE WE GOT A GRANT.

WE'RE GOING TO USE THE MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. WE'RE SHARING WITH YOU WHAT WE ORIGINALLY SAID WE WERE GOING TO DO.

AND THOSE DOLLARS ARE THERE FOR THAT SPECIFIC WORK.

AND SO THOSE DOLLARS WILL NOT BE SPENT UNLESS THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT NEEDS THE WORK.

AND MAY I ADD ONE MORE CAVEAT.

THE BOARD ALSO SAID ONCE WE PUT ALL THE FILM UP, IF THERE'S ANYTHING MISSING, WE NEED TO GO TO THESE DOLLARS TO FILL IT IN.

SO WE DON'T WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE WOULD USE FOR THIS, RIGHT.

THE SECOND THING I THINK I KNOW WHAT MR. GLICK IS SAYING, BUT I THINK WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS WHAT WHAT WE WE HAVE TO SHOW.

AND I THINK WHAT HE'S TRYING TO GET AT AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS THERE SHOULD BE ONE MORE THING THAT'S AT THE BOTTOM THAT WOULD SHOW IF WE'RE IN THE RED OR BLACK, RIGHT? SO LET'S JUST SAY, LET'S JUST SAY WE DON'T SPEND THAT MONEY ON THE FILM BECAUSE WE HAVE THE GRANT.

BUT A LOT OF THINGS COME OVER BUDGET AND EAT IT UP.

IT SHOULD SAY REMAINING BUDGET IS STILL IN THE RED OR BLACK, RIGHT? SO THEN THAT WAY WE COULD GO BACK AND SEE WHERE THE REMAINING DOLLARS ARE.

SO LIKE FOR INSTANCE, ACTUAL BUDGET OR CURRENT BUDGET IS $500.

I'M JUST GOING TO ROUND DOWN $500 MILLION.

AND LET'S SAY WE DO SPEND $503 MILLION OR REMAINING BUDGET AS THIS GOES DOWN.

WE JUST GOT TO SEE IF EACH PROJECT IS PLUS AND MINUS.

SO. SO FOR INSTANCE, I COULD LOOK AT A GLANCE, OH, WE SAVED MONEY HERE, BUT WE WENT OVER HERE.

WE COULD LOOK PROJECT BY PROJECT.

IT'S HARD TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT, RIGHT? YES. SO AT THE END, LET'S SAY WE DON'T SPEND THAT MONEY BECAUSE WE GOT THE GRANT FOR SECURITY FILM.

OKAY. AND OVER THERE IT WOULD SAY WE'RE PLUS $3 MILLION ON THAT LAST FIELD.

BUT LET'S JUST SAY SOMETHING ELSE GOES OVER BUDGET AND I MIGHT SAY -5 MILLION.

SO THEN THAT WAY WE COULD IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHERE THE PLUSES AND MINUSES ARE.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT? YES. SO, MR. DODDS, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? SORRY, I WAS JUST FROZEN IN THIS POSITION, BUT [INAUDIBLE].

I THINK THAT.

SORRY. I DO THINK THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROJECT, YOU WILL SEE IF WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO WHERE WE HAVE BUDGETED OR IF WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER FOR THE REMAINING AMOUNT OF THAT BUDGET, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A PARENTHESES AROUND OR WE COULD MAKE IT HIGHLIGHTED IN RED, SO IT'S EASIER TO FIND OUT IF WE DO GO OVER BUDGET.

AND SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMUNITY ALL KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT AND EACH ONE OF THESE BUDGET ITEMS. AND SO THEY KNOW, LIKE WE SAID, IF WE HAVE A SAVINGS SOMEWHERE, WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK AND SAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THAT FROM ONE PROJECT TO THE NEXT SO THAT WE'RE TRANSPARENT ON WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE BUDGET FOR THE BOND.

SO LET ME GO TO THIS.

SO WOULD THE REMAINING BUDGET TAKE CARE OF WHAT I JUST SAID IS THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT? THE REMAINING BUDGET SHOULD SHOW THAT AS WE ENCUMBER AND THEN AS WE ACTUALLY SPEND ACTUAL DOLLARS, RIGHT THEN IT SHOULD GO TO THE REMAINING BUDGET.

AND IF IT'S IN THE RED, THEN IT WILL BE WE WILL HIGHLIGHT THAT, THAT IT'S IN THE RED.

WE HOPEFULLY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN, BUT WE MAY HAVE PROJECTS THAT DO, AND WE MAY HAVE PROJECTS THAT STAY IN THE BLACK AND WE CAN SEE WHERE

[00:55:07]

SO THEN THE REMAINING BUDGET WILL BE THE INDICATOR OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

YES. OKAY.

THANK YOU. SO I REALLY, MR. GLICK ASKED MY QUESTIONS EXCEPT FOR HERE'S WHERE.

SO IN OUR LAST BOARD MEETING, WE APPROVED $5 MILLION OF AIR CONDITIONING FOR BOND, AND I DON'T SEE $5 MILLION ANYWHERE NOTED HERE ON THIS SHEET.

IS THAT A TRUE STATEMENT OR IS IT HERE AND I JUST DON'T SEE IT.

UH, LET ME.

MAY I ASK MR. GONZALEZ? MR. DODDS, LET ME JUST ASK A QUESTION.

WHEN WE WHAT WE APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING.

THAT WAS THE BID.

WELL. AND HAVE WE? SO. SO. OKAY.

WHILE THEY'RE TALKING TO THINGS, YOU'RE TALKING TO PROJECT WITHIN A SCHOOL OR A CAMPUS, RIGHT.

SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE $48 MILLION.

SO LIKE IN THESE, IN THESE PROJECTS.

SO LIKE LET'S JUST SAY AND THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE, IF WE GO TO LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL RENOVATIONS, THERE'S $48 MILLION THERE IN THAT, OUR $10 MILLION SUB CATEGORIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE APPROVING.

OKAY. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, LIKE SEPARATE LIKE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE SPENDING JUST ON AIR.

THESE ARE BY CAMPUS, IT'S NOT BY PROJECT.

I GET THAT, BUT IN ORDER FOR US TO KNOW IF WE'RE FOLLOWING ALONG IN WHAT WE PROVIDED TO THE COMMITTEE AND TO THE PUBLIC, WE SAID, WE'LL TAKE LAKEVIEW AS OUR INSTANCE.

WE'RE GOING TO SPEND $48,753 MILLION RIGHT.

NOW I DON'T CARE IF YOU SPEND IT ON A TOILET.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU DECIDE, YOU'VE GOT TO SPEND IT ON.

BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF WE'VE ALREADY EARMARKED $1 MILLION TOWARDS AIR CONDITIONING.

I WANT TO SEE IT IN THAT $40.

I WANT TO SEE IT PART OF THAT $48 MILLION YEAH, BUT ONCE WE EARMARK IT, WE DON'T PUT IT IN HERE UNTIL WE ACTUALLY GET THE CONTRACT AND WE WE SPEND THE MONEY.

IT'S NOT.

WELL, BUT OKAY WE'VE ALREADY SAID THAT WE WENT OUT FOR A BID OR HOWEVER WE WANT TO SAY IT FOR $5 MILLION OF AIR CONDITIONING.

SO WE HAVE IN THEORY POTENTIALLY SPENT $5 MILLION, AM I CORRECT? SO BOARD OF TRUSTEES, I BELIEVE THE QUESTION THAT'S COMING BACK TO US IS THAT LAST MONTH WE APPROVED HVAC CONTROLS FOR THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5 MILLION.

AS JAVIER WENT THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, A FEW SLIDES BACK WHERE IT SHOWS THE UNASSIGNED WORK.

OH, DID I PASS IT OR WAS THAT RIGHT? SO ON THE UNASSIGNED WORK WHERE IT SAYS DDC CONTROLS HVAC CONTRACT 214-23-09, THAT IS AN UNASSIGNED WORK. IT'S NOT PART OF THE BUDGET CURRENTLY AS THESE AND WE'VE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH FINANCE THAT'S GOING TO BE ADDED, THESE UNASSIGNED PROJECTS WILL HAVE LINES TO THEM TO IDENTIFY THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S IDENTIFIED FOR THAT HVAC SCOPE OF WORK.

AND IT'LL ALSO SHOW DEDUCTIONS AS WE GO THROUGH THE BOND PROGRAM.

IT'S JUST NOT SHOWING IT NOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT ASSIGNED YET.

AND SO BUT THE QUESTION IS, IS WHEN IT IS APPROVED ON ONE OF THESE THINGS, HOW WILL THEY KNOW IT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M GETTING TO.

SO IN MY MIND AND KEEP IN MIND THAT I DO DO THIS RIGHT IN MY MIND, I HAVE WHAT I PRESENTED AS MY FORECAST A VERY LIVING, BREATHING DOCUMENT.

WHAT I'VE SO FAR THINK I'VE SPENT OR GOING TO SPEND BASED ON POTENTIAL CONTRACTS AND MY LEFT OVER RIGHT.

SO I'M NOT SEEING THAT HERE.

I'M SEEING HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE $48 MILLION IN LAKEVIEW.

BUT I KNOW IN MY MIND WE'RE APPROVING THINGS.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, MY FINGERS COMING OFF THE PULSE BECAUSE WE'RE APPROVING IT, BUT WE'RE NOT DOCUMENTING IT HERE IN MY LIVING AND BREATHING FORM.

SO WE WILL WE WILL DOCUMENT IT BY PROJECT, FOR INSTANCE, THAT HVAC, IF WE DO ANY HVAC CONTROLS WORK AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL

[01:00:04]

AND THEN MAYBE IN YOUR UNASSIGNED, YOU COULD MAYBE MAKE A NOTE THAT WE HAVE POTENTIALLY ALREADY EARMARKED $5 MILLION.

YES, MA'AM. JUST SO, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE GOING ON FOR 5 OR 6 YEARS, AND I SLEEP SOMETIMES AND I FORGET.

THIS WAS BROUGHT UP TO MY ATTENTION HERE RECENTLY BY MR. FERNANDEZ. WE HAVE NOT ASSIGNED THIS, THESE LINE ITEMS IN THE BUDGET YET, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT.

SO JUST LIKE DESIGN, WE AND THIS THIS WAS RUN SEPTEMBER 25TH.

SO ONCE IT'S APPROVED BY THE BOARD, THEN WE START ALL THE PROCUREMENT PHASE AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO GO AHEAD AND THEN PUT IT INTO THE BUDGET BECAUSE WE HAD TO WAIT TILL THE BOARD APPROVED IT.

THEN WE WILL START UPDATING THE BUDGET AND EVERYTHING AS WE GO ALONG.

SO IT SINCE THIS WAS RUN IN SEPTEMBER, THIS THIS REPORT, YOU KNOW, IT IS NOW OCTOBER, BUT ALSO WE STILL HAVE TO DO TIME TO TO DO THE PROCUREMENT, DO THE ENCUMBRANCE.

AND THEN YOU WILL START SEEING THAT IN, IN THE BUDGET OKAY.

THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT. TO THE BOND TEAM.

WE ARE STARTING DOWN THIS PATH.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT AREN'T FINALIZED YET.

OUR MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE IS NOT TOTALLY FUNCTIONING BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, AT THIS TIME.

SO YOU HAVE LISTENED TO HOW THE BOARD IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT BASICALLY THESE REPORTS.

SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE JUST NEED TO HAVE MAYBE A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF RIGHT NOW YOU'RE JUST GIVING US TENTATIVE DRAFT TYPE REPORTS.

AND IF THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT BOARD MEMBERS WANT TO SEE ADDED, AS YOU'VE HEARD HERE TONIGHT, THEN AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO WHAT WILL BECOME FINAL MANAGEMENT REPORTING, THAT'S WHAT WE WILL ULTIMATELY GET TO ONCE YOUR WHOLE STAFF IS UP FUNCTIONING USING THE SOFTWARE AND ALL OF THE TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.

OKAY, SO DON'T GET WEARY IN WELL DOING.

WE'RE GOING TO STICK TO THIS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

SO WE WILL GET TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AND PROVIDING THE INFORMATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

ARE THERE ANY MORE COMMENTS ON THIS UPDATE? YES [INAUDIBLE].

SO I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'LL EVOLVE AS WE GET ONLINE WITH OUR SOFTWARE.

BUT IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO VOTE, TO APPROVE, TO SPEND MONEY, THEN I WANT TO START SEEING IT IN REPORTS, EVEN IF IT'S WITH MR. DODD'S HANDWRITING IT TO ME SO THAT I CAN KEEP TRACK OF IT UNTIL WE'RE WAITING FOR THE REPORTS AND EVERYTHING TO GET ON.

SO I DIDN'T BASICALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT.

OKAY. WHAT I SAID IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, THEIR TEAM IS JUST IN PLACE WITH ALL OF THE HYBRIDS OF WHATEVER WE CALLED IT, OF STAFFING.

I THINK THEY ARE NOW FULLY STAFFED, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ACCOUNTING PEOPLE, WITH ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT THEY NEED.

WHAT I WAS SAYING WAS, LISTEN TO WHAT HAS BEEN SAID HERE TONIGHT AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN FINALIZING THE MANAGEMENT TOOLS, THEN, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR.

THAT WAS MY COMMENT.

I WASN'T DISAGREEING BASICALLY WITH ANYTHING THAT ANYONE HAS ASKED FOR TONIGHT.

DID I SUMMARIZE THAT RIGHT, MR. DODDS? OKAY.

YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT.

APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THE BOND UPDATE? WELL, MR. FERNANDEZ, DO YOU GET A CHANCE TO KNOW.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM.

[V.A. Consider Approval of Resolutions for Project Delivery/Contract Award Methods for 2023 Bond Program Construction Methods of Procurement]

CONTRACT AWARD METHODS FOR 2023 BOND PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR PROCUREMENT.

I WOULD ASK YOU TO DO ONE THING BEFORE WE TAKE THIS ITEM.

WOULD YOU DEFINE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF PROJECT DELIVERY AND CONTRACT AWARDED METHODS, SO THAT WE'RE ALL UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU ARE BASICALLY PRESENTING TO US? BECAUSE YOU START BY GIVING US THE BACKGROUND OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IDENTIFYING WHAT THE

[01:05:04]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COMMITTEE CHAIR GRIFFIN.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

DR. LOPEZ, WE PRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT A RESOLUTION.

THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO RESOLUTIONS HERE FOR PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD.

SO I WANT TO BACK UP AND SHARE WITH YOU A MEMORANDUM THAT WAS DEVELOPED.

WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS A MEMORANDUM THAT IDENTIFIES TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE 2269.056, WHICH BASICALLY STATES BY GOVERNMENT STATUTE IS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHALL SELECT A PROCUREMENT METHOD IF IF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IF IF A PROJECT IS NOT GOING TO USE COMPETITIVE BIDDING, WHICH IS THE DEFAULT PROCUREMENT METHOD FOR ANY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR PUBLIC ENTITY.

IF THE ENTITY IS NOT GOING TO USE A COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND WANTS TO USE ANOTHER METHOD THAT IS ALLOWED BY STATUTE, THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY BEING THE SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MUST ACTUALLY APPROVE THAT DELIVERY METHOD IN ORDER FOR THAT WORK TO BE DONE.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT IS TWO DELIVERY METHODS.

ONE IS A COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL METHOD THAT IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT WILL BE UTILIZING THAT METHOD, AND THE LIST OF OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE ARE IDENTIFYING FOR A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK PROCUREMENT METHOD.

SO THOSE ARE THE TWO PROCUREMENT METHODS THAT WE'RE UTILIZING FOR THE BOND PROGRAM.

THESE PHASES OF THE WORK, THE FIRST THE FIRST PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING OUT.

SO SUBSEQUENTLY FROM THIS YOU'LL SEE A SIMILAR RESOLUTION FOR THE PHASE TWOS, THE PHASE THREES.

AS WE START WORKING ON THOSE PROJECTS, WE'LL BE COMING BACK TO YOU AND AND AND IDENTIFYING SPECIFICALLY WHAT PROJECTS WE'RE WANTING TO ALLOCATE FOR SPECIFIC PROCUREMENT METHODS.

SO THE AGAIN, THE STATUTE MANDATES THE THAT WE HAVE THE DELIVERY METHOD AND THE CONTRACT AWARD METHOD. THE AWARD METHOD BEING WHETHER IT'S A CSP, A CMR AND COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSALS IS A METHOD THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO COMPETITIVE BIDDING.

HOWEVER, THE BIDDING PIECE, WHICH IS THE DEFAULT METHOD FOR THE STATE IS, IT'S BASICALLY BIDDING IS IS WHERE A VENDOR SUBMITS A BID BASED OFF THE BASED OFF OF THE SOLICITATION FROM THE ENTITY, AND THE LOWEST BID WINS THE AWARD REGARDLESS, THERE IS NO NEGOTIATION, THERE'S NO DISCUSSIONS, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IN THE INDUSTRY IS TERMED A HARD BID.

AND SO, SO VERY FEW DISTRICTS ACTUALLY UTILIZE THAT.

VERY FEW STATE ENTITIES BEING UNIVERSITIES AND HOSPITALS, VERY, VERY FEW UTILIZE THAT METHOD.

MOST UTILIZE EITHER A CSP OR A CMR METHOD FOR THEIR DELIVERY OF WORK.

SO COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL ALLOWS THE DISTRICT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION WITH THE DOCUMENTATION, RECEIVE PROPOSALS BACK, AND ALLOWS THE DISTRICT TO NEGOTIATE THOSE PROPOSALS SO THAT GIVES THE DISTRICT THE THE ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE.

SO THAT'S THE COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL METHOD.

PROCUREMENT METHOD.

THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK METHOD IS A METHOD THAT IS, IT'S WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER IS HIRED PRIOR TO THE DOCUMENTS BEING DEVELOPED.

AND SO THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, WHAT WE CALL CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, THE CMR, IS BROUGHT IN EARLY DURING THE DESIGN PHASE.

AND SO THAT ENTITY WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE DESIGN TEAM AND THE OWNER TO REALLY DISCUSS AND HONE OUT THE TYPES OF MATERIAL TYPES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, THE TYPES OF HOW THE STRUCTURE IS BEING BUILT, IF THERE'S A DIFFERENT, A DIFFERENT MEANS AND METHODS THAT COULD BE UTILIZED THAT WERE COST SAVINGS FOR THE OWNER.

[01:10:06]

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OTHER DIFFERENCE WITH A CMR IS THAT THE CMR ACTUALLY, ONCE THE DISTRICT AWARDS A CMR, THAT CMR ACTUALLY HANDLES, THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS FOR THE DISTRICT ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT WILL ACTUALLY DO THE SOLICITATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT.

THE CMR PRIOR TO THAT WILL ISSUE A DISTRICT A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, AND YOU'LL HEAR THAT TERM USED THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY, A GMP. THOSE TERMS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY.

PEOPLE WILL CONFUSE GMPS WITH THE CSP, BUT REALLY IT'S A GMP WHICH IS A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE REALLY RELATES TO A CMR PROJECT ONLY. AND THAT'S WHERE THE CMR IS TELLING THE OWNER THIS IS THE MAXIMUM PRICE THAT THE OWNER WOULD PAY FOR THAT PROJECT BASED OFF OF THE WORK THEY HAVE SEEN. AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK ISSUES THAT GMP TO THE OWNER, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER WILL THEN AFTERWARDS SOLICIT BIDS AND PUT THAT PROJECT OUT FOR AWARD VIA SOLICITATIONS FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES.

THEY WILL THEN GET A BID TAB BACK AND SUBMIT THAT BACK TO THE DISTRICT.

SO THE DISTRICT CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE THE PRICING IS ON A PER DISCIPLINE PIECE, WHAT WE CALL DIVISIONS, CSI DIVISIONS WITHIN THE PROJECT. SO WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE COST OF CONCRETE IS.

WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE COST OF DOOR HARDWARE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

ALL THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON A COST BASIS.

SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

AND SO TONIGHT WHAT WE ARE, WHAT WE ARE BRINGING TO YOU IS A RESOLUTION ONE RESOLUTION FOR CSP FOR THE PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENTS AND SECURITY PERIMETER FENCING.

AND THE SECOND ONE FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THE FIELDHOUSE AND MULTI-PROGRAM ACTIVITY CENTERS.

THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPLACEMENTS NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS B.H.

FREEMAN ELEMENTARY ELEMENTARY REPLACEMENT NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS HILLSIDE ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE.

THAT REPLACEMENT, AND THE LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL AND THE NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL ADDITIONS RENOVATIONS.

THOSE ARE BEING THOSE PROJECTS ARE BEING, BEING PROPOSED AS BEING PROCURED THROUGH THE CMR PROCUREMENT METHOD.

THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM, TO ACCEPT AND VOTE ON THESE APPROVED RESOLUTION PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS AS DISCUSSED AND PRESENTED IN OUR BOARD BOOK. UM, I GUESS THEY'RE HEARING US BACK THERE.

IS THERE A MOTION? MR. BEACH.

YES, MA'AM. MADAM PRESIDENT, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION FOR THE PROJECT DELIVERY/CONTRACT AWARD METHODS FOR THE 2023 BOND PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION METHODS OF PROCUREMENT AS PRINTED IN OUR BOARD BOOKLET TONIGHT.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED.

AND SECOND, THAT WE ACCEPT THE RESOLUTIONS FOR PROJECT DELIVERY AND CONTRACT AWARD METHODS FOR THE 2023 BOND PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION METHODS OF PROCUREMENT.

READY TO VOTE.

VOTE OPEN.

VOTE DELAYED.

YES, BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE GOING TO YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS HAVE A FALLBACK METHOD.

IT DOESN'T FAIL.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

THAT MOTION PASSES 6-0.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, TRUSTEE.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

WE HAVE ONE MORE ACTION ITEM ON THIS SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA TONIGHT TO INCREASE TO INCREASE TO AWARD BIDS.

[V.B. Increase to Awarded Bids]

[01:15:02]

LOPEZ, I BRING TO YOU BRING TO YOU THIS EVENING THE CONSIDER OF INCREASING THE AMOUNT FOR OUR PORTABLE MOVING SERVICES.

AS MR. FERNANDEZ STATED EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, OUR PORTABLES ARE GOING TO BE VERY FLUID THIS, FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE'RE BASICALLY GOING TO HAVE TO CREATE SWING SPACE.

WE'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PROJECTS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROBABLY BRING IN SOME PORTABLES.

SO I'M REQUESTING THE APPROVAL TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT TO SOLAR SYSTEMS, INC.

THE INCREASE AMOUNT IS $500,000.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HASN'T WON, BUT IT'S $500,000.01 THE OUT OF BOND FUNDS 683.

ANY QUESTIONS? ACTUALLY, YES.

OKAY. [INAUDIBLE] MISS STANLEY? SO HOW DOES THIS FALL INTO.

WHAT DID WE HAVE BUDGETED FOR THIS? SO IN THE PAST, THIS IS A BIG INCREASE.

YES. SO IN THE PAST, LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY.

FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE, IT'S PROBABLY BEEN AROUND SIX, SEVEN YEARS SINCE I'VE MOVED A PORTABLE HERE IN THIS DISTRICT.

WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, WE WERE MOVING PORTABLES QUITE A BIT, BUT OVER THE TIME THE LAST BOND PROGRAM KIND OF TOOK CARE OF THE SITUATION.

WE ADDED ADDITIONS AND WE DID SO MANY THINGS AND WE STOPPED MOVING PORTABLES.

SO IN THE PAST WE JUST BASICALLY HAD $74,999 AS THE COST FOR OUR MOVING OF OUR PORTABLES, AND WE DID PRETTY GOOD YEARLY ON THAT BASIS. BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF PORTABLES AND SWING SPACE THAT WE MAY NEED FOR THESE PROJECTS, THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY NEED A LARGE INCREASE FOR THESE PORTABLE MOVES.

A PORTABLE MOVE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW IS PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM, I WOULD SAY, JUST THE MOVE.

IT'S PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM $15 TO $20,000.

TEN YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS MOVING EARLIER IN MY CAREER HERE, THEY WERE RUNNING ANYWHERE FROM $10,000.

SO THEY'VE INCREASED QUITE A BIT.

OKAY. QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION. WE KNOW WE GOT THEM WE GOT TO MOVE THEM.

UM, IT'S AN ACTION ITEM.

IS THERE? I KNOW WE'RE ALL GOING REALLY? WE NEED TO BRING A CONTRACT TO BURN THEM.

YOU KNOW, LET'S HAVE A BONFIRE FOR HOMECOMING HERE, YOU KNOW, OR SOMETHING.

JIMINY CRICKET, I DON'T DISAGREE.

I DON'T DISAGREE.

MR. DODDS DO YOU WANT US TO FEEL ANY BETTER? CAN YOU GIVE US ANY WORDS OF COMFORT HERE? OKAY, WELL, I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, ANY TIME YOU MOVE A PORTABLE, IT'S NOT JUST MOVING A PORTABLE.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO INTO THAT.

AND SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

ONCE YOU MOVE THAT, YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.

BUT MOVING PORTABLES IS NOT A SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO.

BUT IT'S IT'S MAYBE A NECESSITY IN THIS.

ALL RIGHT. WE GOT IT. OKAY.

IS THERE A MOTION? MM. MS STANLEY.

OKAY. OH.

YOU WANT TO ASK A QUESTION? NO. OKAY.

YOU WANT TO DO IT? OKAY. OKAY.

I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN AWARDED AMOUNT FOR THE PORTABLE BUILDING MOVING SERVICES AS WRITTEN IN OUR BOARD BOOK.

SECOND, IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED AND SECOND BY MS. MOVED BY MS. STANLEY SECOND BY MR. SELDERS THAT WE CONSIDER THE INCREASE IN THE AWARDED AMOUNT FOR PORTABLE BUILDING MOVING SERVICES AS PRINTED IN OUR AGENDA. I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO TRY THIS AGAIN, BUT ALL IN FAVOR, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

WE'LL JUST GET IT OVER WITH 6-0 THAT MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU TRUSTEES. THOSE ARE OUR TWO ACTION ITEMS. AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE NEED OF AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

AND SO WE ARE ADJOURNED.

[VII. Adjournment]

YES. IT'S 5:55 NOW, MEETING IS SCHEDULED TO START AT 6:00.

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU GUYS NEED? TEN MINUTES. TEN MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, SO WE WILL START ADAC AT 6:05.
