IN PAGE EIGHT OF YOUR HANDOUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE AT 69.6% SPENDING ON THE GENERAL FUND, AND I WON'T GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THE GRAPHS THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT I WILL REFER YOU TO PAGE 11 WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE REVENUES ARE AT IN MARCH, AND THEY ARE AT 67.5% FOR THE FISCAL YEAR AS OF MARCH 2024, AND THEN ANOTHER IMPORTANT METRIC TO KEEP AN EYE ON WOULD BE PAGE 18, WHICH WILL SHOW YOU THAT AS OF MARCH 2024, WE STILL HAD 16.7 MILLION ON ESSER FUNDING AS REPORTED, AND I AM HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS.
I'M SORRY, WOULD YOU REPEAT THE ESSER NUMBER AGAIN? 16.7 MILLION.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? BUT THE FINANCIAL REPORT.

CHAIRMAN MILLER, PRESIDENT GRIFFIN BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
DR. LOPEZ, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS AN INFORMATION ITEM IS THE THIRD QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR FOR THE TIME PERIOD JANUARY 1ST TO MARCH 31ST OF 24.
AS OF MARCH 31ST, THE DISTRICT'S 1.273 MILLION WAS INVESTED IN THREE SEPARATE INVESTMENT POOLS, TEXPOOL, LONE STAR, AND TEXAS CLASS, AND AS OF APRIL, THE PERCENTAGES WERE TEXPOOL 52%, LONE STAR 19, AND TEXAS CLASS 27, AND BY THE END OF MAY, OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE EACH OF THE FUNDS AND TREASURY PURCHASES AT APPROXIMATELY 25% EACH, BUT WE'LL WATCH THE MARKET AND SEE IF THAT'S A WISE CHOICE TO PURCHASE SECURITIES DIRECTLY BEHIND THAT CHART.
YOU WILL SEE THE INFORMATION ON HOW THE POOLS INVEST, THE FUNDS THAT ARE DEPOSITED WITH THEM.
[00:05:06]
A DOCUMENT THAT ILLUSTRATES A GRAPH OF THE DAILY INTEREST RATES IN THE POOLS OVER THIS LAST QUARTER.THE NEXT DOCUMENT IN YOUR PACKET DETAILS THE EXACT AMOUNT OF THE DISTRICT'S INVESTMENT FUNDS AS OF MARCH 31ST, AND THE FINAL DOCUMENT SHOWS INTEREST INCOME FOR THE LAST NINE MONTHS OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.
YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE 30.856 MILLION TOTAL, 9.7 MILLION OF THAT IN THE GENERAL FUND AND 16.8 MILLION FOR OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
OKAY. COMMITTEE. ANY ANY QUESTIONS OF MISS ROUNTREE? BOARD? MR. GLICK. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PREDICT THE INTEREST RATE FUTURE FOR US? [CHUCKLING] PLEASE DO.
YES I COULD. THAT WAS FUNNY, MAN.
YES. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. MILLER. BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DR.
LOPEZ. WE HAVE MR. BURNSIDE WITH PURDUE BRANDON HERE TO PRESENT AN UPDATE ON OUR DELINQUENT TAX COLLECTIONS.
I'LL LET MR. BURNSIDE TAKE OVER.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, KRISTI. CHAIRMAN MILLER, PRESIDENT GRIFFIN, DR.
I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A, LET ME SEE IF I FIND IT.
THERE'S A BRIEF COLLECTION REPORT FOR YOU ON OUR DELINQUENT TAX COLLECTION ACTIVITIES.
THIS IS THE TEAM THAT WORKS ON THE MAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WORK ON IT.
THE ATTORNEYS AND THE CHIEF STAFF MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT YOUR COLLECTIONS IN OUR FIRM AND JUST A BRIEF TAX COLLECTION TIMELINE.
I KNOW YOU'VE ALL HEARD THIS PRESENTATION SEVERAL TIMES, SO JUST REALLY QUICK.
YOU KNOW, JANUARY 1ST IS AN IMPORTANT DATE FOR VALUATIONS ON PROPERTIES.
THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT SETS VALUES BASED ON THAT DATE.
THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT GETS THAT SET.
THEY GET THE VALUES TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CERTIFICATION IN AUGUST SEPTEMBER TIME FRAME, AND THEN THE COLLECTION PHASE BEGINS IN OCTOBER WHEN MISS COOPER AND HER OFFICE SEND OUT BILLS AND THEY DO THE CURRENT COLLECTIONS, THEY GO DELINQUENT ON FEBRUARY 1ST, AND THEY'RE TURNED OVER TO OUR FIRM BUSINESS, PERSONAL PROPERTY IN APRIL AND REAL PROPERTY IN JULY. SO WHAT DO WE DO? WE HAVE TWO TWO AREAS OF COLLECTIONS.
WE HAVE SOFT COLLECTIONS AND HARD COLLECTIONS.
WE IN 2023, WE HAD MORE THAN 5100 PHONE CONTACTS MAILED, JUST UNDER 10,000 LETTERS, UPDATED 2700 ADDRESSES, AND THEN WE WENT OUT AND VISITED 105 BUSINESSES IN GARLAND TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEIR TAXES WERE AND WHAT THEIR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES WERE.
THE SECOND AREA OF COLLECTIONS IS HARD COLLECTIONS, AND THAT'S WHERE WE USE THE LEGAL SYSTEM.
IN 2023, WE FILED 310 LAWSUITS ON BEHALF OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THE RESULTS OF THOSE LAWSUITS, MOST OF THEM GET PAID, BUT A FEW OF THEM WE ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE TO SALE TEN PROPERTIES. WE SOLD TEN PROPERTIES ON BEHALF OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LAST YEAR.
WE HAD THREE SALES THAT WE CANCELED FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
A LOT OF IT THEY FILED BANKRUPTCY OR THEY GOT OVER 65 DISABILITY EXEMPTIONS TO STOP OUR SALES, AND WE DID HAVE ONE PROPERTY LAST YEAR THAT WAS STRUCK OFF TO THE CITY OF GARLAND, AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN RESOLD.
WE DID FILE IN 59 BANKRUPTCY CASES ON BEHALF OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS.
ALL RIGHT, SO ALL OF THOSE ACTIVITIES, AND WHAT DID IT MEAN FOR YOU? COLLECTION PERCENTAGE IS PROBABLY THE BEST INDICATOR OF WHAT KIND OF WORK WE'RE DOING, THE JOB THAT WE'RE DOING FOR YOU THE CURRENT COLLECTIONS LAST YEAR BY THE TAX OFFICE.
THIS IS FOR THE 2021 TAX YEAR.
YOUR TOTAL LEVY WAS JUST UNDER 300 MILLION, AND OF THAT, JUST OVER 1% WAS TURNED OVER TO OUR FIRM FOR COLLECTION ABOUT $3.8 MILLION AND OUR TAX COLLECTION CYCLE RUNS FROM JULY 1ST TO JUNE 30TH, AND SO FOR THE 2021 TAX YEAR, WE WERE GIVEN $3.8 MILLION TO COLLECT, AND WE COLLECTED JUST UNDER 2.8 MILLION OF IT IN THAT FIRST YEAR, FOR A COLLECTION PERCENTAGE OF 72.81%.
FOR THE ALL YEARS, WHICH IS THE 2021 AND ALL PRIOR YEARS FOR YOUR DELINQUENT ROLL.
WE HAD ABOUT $7.6 MILLION WHEN WE STARTED.
[00:10:01]
WE COLLECTED ABOUT HALF OF THAT $3.886 MILLION FOR 50.82%, AND AGAIN, THAT'S ALSO THE SECOND HIGHEST TAX COLLECTION RATE FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT IN DALLAS COUNTY, AND THE HIGHEST IS CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH OUR OFFICE ALSO COLLECTS FOR.THESE ARE THE TAXES THAT WILL BE TURNED OVER TO US ON JULY 1ST OF 2023.
AGAIN, YOUR TAX OFFICE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF COLLECTING.
IT TURNED OVER JUST UNDER $5 MILLION FOR US TO COLLECT, AND OF THAT $5 MILLION WE COLLECT HAVE SO FAR COLLECTED AS OF FEBRUARY 29TH, 2.8 MILLION, OR JUST UNDER 57%, AND THIS IS WHAT A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR TAX ROLL LOOKS LIKE AT A PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME.
THE ACTUAL DATE OF 1/27 SHOULD BE 2024, NOT 2023.
WE WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE COLLECTION ACTIVITY AGAINST THEM.
THAT IS OVER 65 AND DISABLED HOMELESS HOMESTEAD OWNERS.
WE HAVE ABOUT $1.1 MILLION IN LITIGATION.
WE HAVE JUST A SMALL AMOUNT IN BANKRUPTCY.
BANKRUPTCY, NOT REALLY AN ISSUE AT THIS POINT, AND WE'VE GOT ABOUT 1.5 MILLION THAT WE ARE, I'M SURE THAT'S A LOT LOWER AT THIS POINT, BUT 1.5 MILLION THAT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IN SOFT COLLECTIONS.
WE DO FOCUS ON THE CURRENT TAX YEAR, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE MOST IMPACT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND BRINGING THE MOST MONEY, BUT WE DO CONTINUE TO COLLECT ALL THE ENTIRE TAX ROLL.
AFTER YEAR TWO, WE WERE AT 84% COLLECTED 2019 TAX YEAR.
AGAIN, WE STARTED AT 74%, AFTER THREE YEARS WAS 89% 2018 TAX YEAR, FIRST YEAR WAS 72%, AND AFTER FOUR YEARS AT 95% COLLECTED, AND JUST FOR WHAT'S LEFT OF THAT 2018 TAX ROLL OF THE ORIGINAL $275 MILLION LEVY, THERE'S JUST OVER $200,000 LEFT TO COLLECT AND ABOUT 70% OF THAT IS OVER 65 DISABILITY DEFERRALS.
SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF WORK THAT CAN BE DONE THAT'S LEFT TO BE DONE.
THE PRE-LITIGATION, THE SOFT COLLECTION PORTION OF IT, THAT $2,600 IS IN 85 ACCOUNTS.
SO THERE'S NOT A LOT WE CAN DO WITH ACCOUNTS THAT ARE VALUED AT, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THEM ARE UNDER $10 AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I SAY THIS EVERY YEAR.
I'M VERY PROUD TO REPRESENT GARLAND ISD.
MY KIDS ARE BEING EDUCATED HERE FOR AT LEAST TWO AND A HALF MORE WEEKS.
I'M ABOUT DONE WITH THAT. [CHUCKLING] MY KIDS WILL ALL BE ALUMNI HERE SOON, BUT I DO ENJOY IT.
THANK YOU. COMMITTEE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? VERY GOOD JOB.
I BELIEVE IT IS THE MARCH 24TH TAX REPORT, AND KRISTI COOPER IS BACK.
YES. MR. MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
THERE WERE FIVE OVERPAYMENT REFUNDS WHICH EXCEEDED $500 FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH.
WE ARE CURRENTLY AT A COLLECTION RATE OF 97.82%.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS OF KRISTI COOPER FOR THIS? BOARD, ANYTHING? OKAY. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ACTION ITEMS B.
[IV.B. Action Items (Non Consent)]
THESE WILL BE ACTION ITEMS THAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD TO THE BOARD MEETING.YES, MISTER MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR. LOPEZ, WE ARE REQUESTING BOARD AUTHORIZATION TO REMOVE DELINQUENT TAXES FROM OUR TAX ROLL, AS OUTLINED UNDER TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE SECTION 3305.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECOMMENDED TO BE WRITTEN OFF IS $231,928.21.
EXHIBIT A IS THE LIST OF REAL PROPERTY FOR THE 2003 AND PRIOR TAX YEARS, WITH AN AMOUNT OF $45,661.17 THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR WRITE-OFF.
THAT'S RECOMMENDED FOR WRITE OFF.
MR. BURNSIDE IS HERE, AND HE'S PREPARED THIS WRITE-OFF LIST FOR US.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO ANYTHING ON THE LIST.
YES, SIR. JUST LOOKING THROUGH HERE.
ONE OF MY FORMER EMPLOYEES IS TEXAS COMMERCE BANK.
THAT'S BEEN GONE FOR 30 YEARS.
YES, AND THERE'S A 2003 TAX COLLECTION ITEM OF $89.30.
I'M JUST WONDERING HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN.
[00:15:02]
THERE IS A LITTLE STRIP OF PROPERTY THAT WELL, IT WAS OWNED BY TEXAS COMMERCE BANK AND IT WAS FORECLOSED ON MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, AND IT IS YOU KNOW, WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD TWO JUDGMENTS WE'VE TAKEN AGAINST PROPERTY.THE FIRST JUDGMENT WAS ACTUALLY DONE BY THE LAW FIRM PRIOR TO OUR FIRM REPRESENTING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THEY ACTUALLY TOOK IT AGAINST TEXAS COMMERCE BANK, WHICH DIDN'T EXIST AT THE TIME.
WE DO HAVE A JUDGMENT AGAINST BANK OF AMERICA, BUT NO JP MORGAN CHASE BANK.
YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY CHASE BOUGHT THEM, SO.
YEAH, THEY OF COURSE, DISCLAIMED INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'VE TRIED TO SELL IT AND NOBODY WILL BUY IT BECAUSE IT'S A WORTHLESS LITTLE TRACT OF LAND AND THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS SO SMALL ON IT THAT THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT FEASIBLE WITH IT. OKAY.
YEAH. I'M JUST CURIOUS WHEN I SAW IT.
CERTAINLY. I KNOW YOU'RE SURPRISED I LOOKED AT IT.
OKAY BOARD ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU BET. HAVE A GOOD DAY, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PENDING GRADUATION.
LET'S GO TO B2 CONSIDER APPROVAL OF BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE 2023-2024 GENERAL FUND, WHICH HAS ALREADY RECEIVED A LOT OF CONVERSATION.
GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN GRIFFIN COMMITTEE MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT LOPEZ.
TODAY WE HAVE THE MAY BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL FUND.
WE HAVE ONE AMENDMENT ITEM, AND IT IS FOR THE INCREASE FOR THE TEACHER INCENTIVE ALLOTMENT, AND THAT IS FOR 3.1 MILLION, AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THAT WILL BE A PART OF THE STATE ALLOTMENT FOR THIS YEAR, THAT WE WILL SEE THE REVENUE IN AUGUST WHEN WE DO THE FINAL V.
ANY QUESTIONS? SO THAT'S A REIMBURSEMENT ITEM? YES. OKAY.
OKAY. COMMITTEE, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS REPORT? NO QUESTIONS, BOARD? OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY OF FORT WORTH PURCHASING INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.
THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS FOR A STANDARD INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF FORT WORTH, AND THE AGREEMENT'S BEEN BEFORE LEGAL AND JUST IS LOOKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL. THIS WILL ALLOW US ACCESS TO AN EXISTING CONTRACT AND VENDOR TO CONSIDER SERVICES GOING FORWARD.
OKAY. COMMITTEE, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? OKAY. BOARD. THANK YOU.
WE'LL MOVE THIS FORWARD. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
SO NOW WE GO TO ITEM B4, WHICH IS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF DRAINAGE EASEMENTS AND TEMPORARY RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT BETWEEN GARLAND ISD AND THE CITY OF SACHSE, JAVIER FERNANDEZ.
THANK YOU. COMMITTEE CHAIR MILLER, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
DR. LOPEZ, HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU A RECOMMENDATION.
THIS IS AN EASEMENT, AND I'LL SHARE WITH YOU WHAT THE EASEMENT, THE DETAILS OF THIS EASEMENT ARE.
SO THE CITY OF SACHSE IS LOOKING FOR A DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
VERY SPECIFICALLY, THE DISTRICT OWNS A PIECE OF PROPERTY UP AT SACHSE AND SACHSE ROAD AND BAILEY ROAD, AND YOU CAN SEE IT THERE. THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO OF THESE EASEMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT TONIGHT.
THIS IS A SMALL EASEMENTS RIGHT ON THE CORNER.
SO THAT'S THIS FIRST ITEM HERE, AND SO LETTING YOU KNOW WHERE THIS ONE IS AT, AND WITH THAT TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE IN PARTICULAR TO THIS SPECIFIC EASEMENT.
IS THAT UNDEVELOPED LAND? YES, SIR. IT IS.
OKAY. MR. JOHNSON. WHAT TYPE OF PARTICULAR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IS THE CITY PLANNING ON INSTALLING THERE? SO THAT'S A DRAINAGE EASEMENT.
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS STORMWATER, AND SO IT'S STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS.
TYPICALLY YOU'LL SEE THERE RIGHT NOW IT'S A BAR DITCH THAT'S THERE, AND THAT BECAUSE THAT'S MY ARE THEY JUST WIDENING A BAR DITCH, BUT THEY'RE--NO NO NO NO NO NO, THIS IS FOR FUTURE WHERE THEY WILL INSTALL UNDERGROUND STORM.
[00:20:03]
IS THIS THEN CONNECTED WITH THE EXPANSION OF SACHSE ROAD? I BELIEVE SO.SO THIS IS PART OF A MUCH BIGGER PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF SACHSE.
THANK YOU, AND IS IT A BIG SQUARE TAKE DOWN THERE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT ON THAT CORNER, OR IS IT JUST EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE UNDERGROUND? NO, IT'S ACTUALLY VERY SMALL.
TAKE THAT THEY'RE WANTING TO DO.
YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE IS ONLY, ZOOM IN HERE.
IT'S RIGHT UNDER THE INTERSECTION. YOU ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING BEING UNDERGROUND? YES, SIR. OKAY.
YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE OR THE BOARD ON THIS? I THINK WE UNDERSTAND.
OKAY. YOU WANT TO GET TO THE NEXT ONE, MATT? OR DO YOU? THANK YOU.
WHEN THE CITY IS DOING AN IMPROVEMENT, AND SO THIS IS A RIGHT OF ENTRY INTO THE SPACE WHICH ALLOWS THE CITY TO DO THEY'RE WANTING TO DO SOME SURVEYING OF THAT PROPERTY, AND SO THEY'RE ASKING FOR A TEMPORARY ACCESS INTO THE PROPERTY.
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT THIS IS ON PLEASANT VALLEY.
SO DOING SOME SURVEYING THAT THEY WANTED TO DO ON THAT SIDE.
SO IT'S VERY TYPICAL FOR US TO GRANT THEM A TEMPORARY RIGHT OF ENTRY.
ANYTHING THAT THEY DISTURB, THEY PUT BACK.
SURE, BOARD ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? OKAY, PRETTY STANDARD.
THANK YOU. YES, SIR. LET'S GO TO B6.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF NAMING PORTION OF FACILITY.
THANK YOU. HEY. GOOD EVENING, MR. MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DR.
LOPEZ. THIS EVENING, MR. ARREOLA AND MYSELF ARE GOING TO BRING YOU THE NAMING OF PORTIONS OF TWO FACILITIES.
BOTH OF THEM JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN ROWLETT.
MARLENE HAMMERLE. YOU SEE A TIMELINE.
A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT DR.
HAMMERLE. YOU COULD WRITE VOLUMES AND BOOKS AND BOOKS ABOUT DR.
HAMMERLE. A FEW THINGS I'LL REMIND YOU OF.
SHE WAS PRINCIPAL OF LAWS WHEN IT WAS A NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL.
SHE OPENED ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL, WAS PRINCIPAL FOR 17 YEARS.
SHE DID 38 YEARS IN GARLAND ISD.
WE HAVE SO MANY OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS THAT WERE STUDENTS FOR HER, THAT WERE ADMINISTRATORS FOR HER.
CULWELL, EX-STUDENTS, A LOT OF THESE CURRENTLY OR HAVE PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTIRETY OF GISD, AND THERE'S A LOT MORE OF THOSE LETTERS.
YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE OF WHERE WE'RE REQUESTING TO DO THAT.
THE COST WOULD BE TAKEN BY THE CAMPUS.
IF THIS IS APPROVED IN YOUR NEXT MEETING.
GO. WE'VE ALREADY GOT OUR COST.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER IN APPROXIMATELY.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL ALSO BE A PLAQUE RECOGNIZING OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND OUR BOARDS FOR THAT NAMING, AND THE CEREMONY WOULD TAKE PLACE ON AUGUST 24TH. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS DONE THIS MONTH.
ANY QUESTIONS? COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? BOARD MEMBERS. ANY DISCUSSION? I THINK ANY TIME WE GET A CHANCE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AWESOME CONTRIBUTIONS THAT PEOPLE MADE TO THE DISTRICT, IT'S KIND OF A PROUD MOMENT.
SO YOU KNOW, WE LOOK FORWARD TO PASSING THIS ON TO THE BOARD AGENDA LATER.
[00:25:01]
THE NEXT 1ST MAY BE SOMEONE THAT YOU SOME OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW AS WELL AS ANNOUNCE IT.NUMBER SEVEN, WE'RE GOING TO B7 BOARD.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF NAMING OF PORTION OF FACILITY.
THIS IS THE MARCIA ZOFFUTTO COYLE MS BAND HALL, AND SO.
I'M SORRY, MR. MERRILL, CONTINUE.
I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DO THAT.
SO THIS PERSON YOU MAY NOT BE AS FAMILIAR WITH, BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO TRY, AND I KNOW I'M GOING TO FALL SHORT OF THE IMPACT THAT SHE HAD ON SO MANY STUDENTS AND SO MANY STAFF MEMBERS.
SO MARCIA ZOFFUTTO STARTED AT COYLE, FIRST SHE WAS AT SAM HOUSTON, THEN SHE WAS AT COYLE AND SHE BECAME BECAME A BAND DIRECTOR THERE IN 1998, AND SO SHE WON, HER BANDS WON THE HIGHEST AWARDS THAT BANDS COULD WIN FOR ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, FOR ANY KIND OF BAND, AND WHEN PEOPLE HEARD HER BANDS, THEY THOUGHT MAYBE THEY WERE LISTENING TO AN ELITE HIGH SCHOOL BAND, OR MAYBE A COLLEGE BAND OR AN ALL STAR BAND BROUGHT TOGETHER, AND THESE WERE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M THE MOST PROUD OF IS THAT SHE WAS INCLUSIVE OF ALL STUDENTS.
IT WASN'T STUDENTS THAT HAD A BAND BACKGROUND, COULD AFFORD PRIVATE LESSONS.
SHE HAD ALL TYPES OF STUDENTS IN THAT BAND HALL.
SHE HAD THEM THERE BEFORE THE SUN CAME UP, AND AFTER THE SUN WENT DOWN, AND THE WHAT THEY LEARNED AND HOW TALENTED THEY WERE WAS JUST AMAZING, AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ABOUT AS LONG AS YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT MS. ZOFFUTTO HAS PASSED AWAY, AND BUT HER, THE LEVEL THAT SHE ROSE, HER STUDENTS AND THEN SO MANY STAFF MEMBERS, I WAS ACTUALLY THERE AT THE TIME, WAS JUST INCREDIBLE.
SO HERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND AND HOW LONG SHE WAS THERE, AND IT GIVES SOME OF HER AWARDS, AND I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, PERFORMING AT THE MIDWEST INTERNATIONAL BAND AND ORCHESTRA AT CHICAGO AND ALSO THE ONE AT SEATTLE, THAT'S THE HIGHEST HONOR THAT YOU CAN GET AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU JUST SIGN UP FOR OR WHATEVER, OR SOMEONE WRITES SOME LETTERS AND THEN YOU GET YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO BE THAT GOOD, AND SO SHE REALLY WAS AND SHE HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON HER STUDENTS, AND SO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT SOME WORDS OF RECOMMENDATION, OF COURSE, WE GOT SOME FROM, LIKE, THE BAND DIRECTOR AT ROWLETT, AS YOU KNOW, THE BAND, THE BAND AT ROWLETT WAS REALLY WINNING A LOT OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, DURING THAT TIME, AND THAT WAS THE FEEDER PATTERN TO THAT SCHOOL, BUT WE GOT A LOT OF THINGS FROM FORMER STUDENTS AND FORMER PARENTS AND WHAT IMPACT THEY HAD ON HER, NOT AS JUST IN BAND, BUT WERE REALLY WHAT THEY HAD IN THEIR LIFE AND WHAT IT MEANT FOR THEIR LIFE, AND SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE'LL NAME THE BAND HALL IN HER HONOR.
YOU CAN SEE TWO PICTURES THERE BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY WOULD DO IT IN TWO PLACES.
ONE IS AND IT'S ON A SIDE STREET AND THE BAND HALL, THAT WAS IT'S A NEW ADDITION TO COYLE.
IT'S BEEN THERE FOR MANY YEARS.
THAT WOULD BE AS YOU ENTER FROM THERE, AND A LOT OF THE STUDENTS ENTER THAT WAY, AND A LOT OF PARENTS GO THERE FOR DISMISSAL AND FOR PICKUP, I MEAN, FOR DROP OFF AND FOR PICKUP AND THEN WE'D ALSO RECOGNIZE HER AS YOU'RE ENTERING THE BAND HALL WING.
SO THAT'S FOR MARCIA, AND HERE'S THE COST OF THAT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR, AND WE LOOKED AT TRYING TO DO THIS, AS YOU KNOW, THAT COYLE HAS HAD A 50TH ANNIVERSARY GOING ON THIS YEAR.
I GUESS I FAILED TO PUT IT IN THERE, BUT IT'S IN AUGUST IS AND IT'S NOT THE SAME DAY AS ROWLETT, BUT IT'S IN THAT KIND OF THAT SAME TIME WINDOW IS WHEN THE PRINCIPAL, MISS WILSON, HAS IT PLANNED FOR THAT NAMING.
SO IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I'LL TAKE THEM NOW.
I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO ACTUALLY HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE COYLE BAND, ESPECIALLY MY DAUGHTER, AND WHEN I BROUGHT ALONG TODAY, I PICKED UP FROM COYLE MIDDLE SCHOOL THIS MORNING, AND THIS IS CALLED THE SUDLER CUP.
LET ME READ A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE AWARDS.
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR JUNIOR HIGH AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CONCERT BANDS TO IDENTIFY, RECOGNIZE, AND HONOR JUNIOR HIGH AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CONCERT BANDS THAT HAVE DEMONSTRATED PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT HIGH STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE IN CONCERT ACTIVITIES OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS, AND CERTAINLY THAT'S WHAT THE COYLE BAND DID.
[00:30:04]
WON TWO.YOU SAW ALL THE PLACES THEY VISITED.
ONE OF THE VERY COOL THINGS WE DID IS WHEN THE, WHEN THE TROPHY WAS ACTUALLY WON AND PRESENTED AT THAT MIDWEST CONCERT IN CHICAGO, BUT WE DECIDED WE WOULD HAVE A SPECIAL CONCERT, AND GLADYS STONE WRIGHT, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE JOHN PHILIP SOUSA SOCIETY, CAME TO DALLAS, AND THAT EVENING WE HAD A CONCERT IN HER HONOR IN THE BAND'S HONOR ON THE CAMPUS OF SMU AT CARRUTH AUDITORIUM, WHERE SHE PRESENTED THE TROPHY AND CONDUCTED THE BAND IN A JOHN PHILIP SOUSA MARCH, THE MARCH OF THE WOLVERINES, WHICH WAS VERY, VERY COOL.
THE LETTER THAT YOU SEE FROM CONN-SELMER.
JUST LET ME READ ONE MORE PARAGRAPH, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
EACH YEAR THERE IS A MIDWEST CONCERT THAT KNOCKS ME OUT.
CLEARLY, YOU AWAKENED US ALL TO A NEW LEVEL OF POSSIBILITY.
AFTER EACH SELECTION, I WOULD WATCH PEOPLE NODDING TO ONE ANOTHER, GIVING THE TRADITIONAL THUMBS UP, AND AFFIRMATIVELY SHAKING THEIR HEADS IN AWE OF YOUR MATURE SOUND, TECHNICAL ABILITIES, AND INCREDIBLE MUSIC EXPRESSION, AND THAT'S FROM ONE OF THE LEADING AUTHORITIES IN MUSIC EDUCATION IN THE WORLD.
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE A COMMENT OR QUESTION? MISS GRIFFIN? YES. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT A PARENT OF A STUDENT AT COYOLE, COYLE STUDENTS ATTENDED MY CHURCH, AND I HAD THE HONOR OF WATCHING THE KIDS AT OUR CHURCH.
SO WHEN WE SAY THAT SHE WELCOMED ALL STUDENTS AND WORKED WITH THEM VERY DILIGENTLY BECAUSE WE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR OUR KIDS TO BE ON ALL OF THESE TRIPS. SO I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND SOME OF THE CONCERTS.
I WAS THERE AT SMU THAT NIGHT IN THE RAIN AND SO I APPRECIATE FOR WHAT SHE DID FOR CHILDREN BECAUSE YOUR GIFTS WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU, BUT WHAT WE DO FOR KIDS BY PUTTING THEM FIRST.
SO I PERSONALLY AM GRATEFUL FOR HOW SHE TOUCHED CHILDREN THAT I WAS INVOLVED WITH.
MR. ARREOLA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? I MEAN, IT'S REALLY UNFORTUNATE THE TIE YOU'RE WEARING TONIGHT, BUT OTHER THAN THAT UT LONGHORN TIE.
I SUPPORT THE TIE. [CHUCKLING] OKAY, WE HAVE CONTROVERSY.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. [CHUCKLING] WE SUPPORT THE TIE.
OKAY, FINE. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO NUMBER NINE.
NOPE. LET'S GO TO NUMBER EIGHT.
GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN MILLER, MS. GRIFFIN, BOARD PRESIDENT, TRUSTEES.
EXCUSE ME. IN THE GARLAND CHAMBER, AS YOU CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR BOOK, PROVIDED WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE 24 YEAR 25 AS WELL AS THE AGREEMENT AND IF YOU FLIP TO I'M HOPING IT'S THE SAME PAGE.
PAGE 128 YOU'LL SEE RED LINE CHANGES PROVIDED BY GARLAND CHAMBER FOR THE 24-25 PARTNERSHIP EXHIBIT A THAT WILL BE ACCOMPANYING THE AGREEMENT. THERE WERE NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES.
THERE WAS NO DELETION OF OFFERINGS, NOR WERE THEY DELINQUENT IN THEIR REPORTING.
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.
RESPONSES IN WHAT MANNER? I WOULD SAY, ASIDE FROM PROVIDING US WITH THEIR ANNUAL REPORTS, WELL SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS, WHICH YOU WILL SEE ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, HOW THEY'VE DIVVIED UP THEIR FUNDING THAT WE PROVIDE THEM, AND HOW THEY'VE INITIATED THEIR PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT OUR GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WE DIDN'T GET ANY FEEDBACK NEGATIVE NOR AFFIRMATIVE IN THE SUPPORT.
OKAY. THANK YOU, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE NOT THANKFUL, BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE.
[00:35:04]
I HAVE BEEN THANKED MANY TIMES FOR OUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THIS EVENT.I DON'T KNOW IF. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN OFFICIAL THANK YOU OR NOT THAT COMES FROM THEM.
WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO HELP THE CITY AND ALSO THE CHAMBER AND ALSO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WHAT WE WERE DOING, AND I KNOW THAT HAS GONE AWAY, AND SO I WAS JUST KIND OF CURIOUS OF WHAT WE HOW WE REACT TO THAT.
YEAH, I'M PRETTY SURE IT WAS DIVIDED UP.
THE CITY TOOK OVER MAINLY THE ATTRACTION PORTION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY.
THE CHAMBER IS MAINTAINING LET'S JUST SAY THE MAINTENANCE OF THEY'RE NOT IN THE ATTRACTION PART OF IT AS MUCH AS THEY ARE JUST MAINTAINING OF OUR TAX BASE.
I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. EXCUSE ME.
ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN MILLER, MISS GRIFFIN, BOARD PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES, AND DR.
AS YOU WILL SEE ON THE FOLLOWING FEW PAGES, THE RESOLUTION AND THE AGREEMENT, THERE WERE NO CHANGES AT ALL SUBMITTED BY THE ROWLETT CHAMBER UNDER THEIR NEW LEADERSHIP FOR THEIR EXHIBIT A, AND THERE WERE NO CHANGES TO OUR RESOLUTION PROPOSED.
I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE ROWLETT CHAMBER.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. GLICK, AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OR COMMITTEE MEMBERS? SEEING NONE, LET'S GO TO ITEM TEN.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, THEY ARE FULLY STAFFED, AND THEY HAVE A PERSON WHO'S APPOINTED AND TO WORK WITH THIS.
SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO SOLICIT THEIR PARTICIPATION.
THEY ACTUALLY CONTACTED ME AND THEY WERE TIMELY IN THEIR REPORTS.
SHE'S BEEN AMAZING TO WORK WITH, AND SHE'S PROVIDED ME WITH EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR ME TO BRING THIS TO YOU AT THE SAME TIME AS THE OTHER TWO CITIES AGREEMENTS THEY HAVE, AS YOU CAN SEE, HAD THEY HAD NO CHANGES TO THE RESOLUTION LANGUAGE NOR THEIR EXHIBIT A, AND THEIR AGREEMENT HOLDS THE SAME, THEY TOO HAVE BEEN TIMELY IN THEIR EXPENDITURE REPORTING AND HAVE PROVIDED THOSE FOR YOU HERE ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS.
WELL, MY CONGRATULATIONS TO MISS LEWIS.
IF MECHELLE HOGAN GIVES YOU A COMPLIMENT, YOU'VE EARNED IT.
I'LL BE SURE TO SHOOT HER AN EMAIL AND LET HER KNOW TO CHECK THE MEETING TONIGHT.
[CHUCKLING] THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT.
THANK YOU TO SACHSE. ANY QUESTIONS, BOARD, ON THIS? OKAY WE WILL MOVE ON TO NUMBER 11.

SO THE TRACKING OF THOSE MATERIALS, MR. BEACH, IF YOU'LL RECALL WHEN WE HAD PAPER MATERIALS, ALL OF THOSE HAD TO GET SCANNED IN, AND BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED SECURE TEST MATERIALS, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE TRACK OF WHERE THEY ARE.
SO THE CAMPUSES HAVE THESE LITTLE SCANNER GUNS, THEY SCAN THOSE BOOKLETS, AND BUT NOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH PAPER, THE WE STILL HAVE TO TRACK ITEMS SUCH AS OUR STAAR ALT MATERIALS, ANY PAPER ASSESSMENTS, BUT THIS SYSTEM DOES SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. THAN THAN JUST TRACK WHERE THESE MATERIALS ARE.
ARE THEY SCANNED IN EACH CLASSROOM OR ARE THEY SCANNED IT IN THE OFFICE AND THEN DISTRIBUTED OUT TO THE TEACHERS? YES. SO THEY ARE SCANNED INTO WITH THE CAMPUS TESTING COORDINATOR AND THEN WE KIND OF KEEP TRACK OF WHERE THOSE MATERIALS ARE.
SO LET'S SAY THAT A STUDENT DOES STILL HAVE A PAPER ASSESSMENT OPTION.
SO THEY STILL HAVE TO BE LOCKED UP AT LUNCH.
THEN I GUESS, WHEN THEY GO TO LUNCH.
YES, SIR. SO WE ONLY ONE PERSON HAS A KEY TO THE QUOTE UNQUOTE TESTING CLOSET.
SO WE DO DO OUR BEST WITH OUR VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU. MR. BOOKER CONTINUE.
I THINK WE'RE ON WHAT, E? YES, SIR. THE NEXT CONTRACT BEFORE YOU THIS IS A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ELECTRONICS AND APPLIANCE SUPPLIES.
THIS IS A PILOT PROGRAM TO DETERMINE IF PURIFYING AND CLEANSING THE AIR WILL INCREASE OUR OR DECREASE OUR ABSENTEEISM, AND IT IS A ONE YEAR WITH ONE OPTION RENEWAL.
IT'S FUNDED THE FIRST YEAR OUT OF ESSER THREE.
OF COURSE, THAT'S THE ONE YEAR FUNDING AVAILABLE.
THE DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AS IT RELATES TO THE OPTIONAL YEAR, TO WHETHER CONTINUE FUNDING FOR THAT PROJECT, BUT THAT PROJECT WAS INITIATED BY HEALTH SERVICES COMBINED WITH THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT.
ONCE AGAIN, THE INTENT IS TO MEASURE AND IDENTIFY PURIFYING THE AIR WILL HELP REDUCE ABSENTEEISM.

OKAY. CONTINUE, PLEASE.THE NEXT CONTRACT BEFORE YOU FOR CONSIDERATION.
THIS IS A MODIFICATION OF AWARD.
IT IS A ONE YEAR CONTRACT WITH FOUR ANNUAL RENEWABLE OPTIONS.
THE DISTRICT ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED IT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS A ONE YEAR WITH FOUR.

THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE IN THE FUNDING AS IT RELATES TO THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT.
