Aug 13, 2024 Facilities Committee Meeting

[00:00:04]

GREAT. GOOD AFTERNOON.

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum ]

THE MEETING WILL START AT 3:00, AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM HERE PRESENT, AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE IS ON HIS WAY HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND START THE MEETING WITHOUT HIM, BUT WE'LL LET HIM FILL IN WHEN HE GETS HERE.

FIRST I WILL CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER, WHICH I HAVE DONE SO.

NEXT NUMBER ITEM NUMBER TWO IS THE PUBLIC FORUM, AND MISS HOGAN, IS THERE ANY YELLOW CARDS FOR THE PUBLIC? SINCE THERE'S NONE, THEN WE'LL MOVE ON.

DR. LOPEZ, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? DR. LOPEZ IS NOT HERE.

OKAY, WE'LL MOVE ON.

[CHUCKLING] WE WILL COME BACK TO HIM ALSO.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG. WE'RE NOT GOING TO HOLD BACK FOR THAT.

[IV.A. Information Items]

A INFORMATION ITEM NUMBER ONE, RECEIVE A BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONTRACT RENEWAL REPORT FOR AUGUST 2024.

MR. BOOKER. TO MR. BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, TO MR. DODD, DR. LOPEZ, IN THEIR ABSENCE, WE DO HAVE BEFORE YOU THE CONTRACT RENEWAL REPORT FOR AUGUST 2024.

WE DO HAVE NINE CONTRACTS WHICH ARE BEEN SUBMITTED, TWO OF WHICH HAVE EXCEEDED THE THRESHOLD REQUIRED BY REGULATION, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE.

WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ACTIONS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THAT IS ON PAGE SIX IN OUR BOARD BOOK HERE.

ANY QUESTIONS, MR. GLICK? FROM THE BOARD? ANY OTHERS FROM THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? THANK YOU, MR. BOOKER. THANK YOU.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER TWO.

RECEIVE A PRESENTATION OF THE FINE ARTS, ACOUSTICAL IMPROVEMENTS ATSECONDARY SCHOOLS PROGRESS UPDATES.

JAVIER FERNANDEZ.

GOOD EVENING. TRUSTEE BEACH.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

DR. LOPEZ, I WANTED TO BRING TO YOU AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITH THE FINE ARTS ACOUSTICAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AT ALL SECONDARY SCHOOLS.

FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD AGAIN FOR ALLOWING US TO MAKE THESE CORRECTIONS AT THESE SECONDARY SCHOOLS, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF PROGRESS.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE PRIOR TO THE SUMMER WHILE IN THE SUMMER, AND WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO GO AS WE'RE PROGRESSING THROUGH THIS.

SO WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE, THE OVERALL SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE'RE PERFORMING, THE PROGRESS STATUS OF WHERE WE STAND WITH EACH SPECIFIC CAMPUS, AND A COUPLE OF PROGRESS PHOTOS THAT WE HAVE.

SO IF YOU RECALL, THERE'S ACTUALLY 19 CAMPUSES THAT WE ARE DOING SOME ACOUSTICAL IMPROVEMENTS ON, AND THEY VARY FROM THE BAND HALL TO THE CHOIR HALL TO PRACTICE ROOMS THAT WE ARE PERFORMING IMPROVEMENTS ON.

THERE'S 19 CAMPUSES THERE.

YOU CAN SEE THEIR LOCATIONS, AND SO WE HAVE GOT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IS THE ACOUSTICAL WALL PANELING, THE CEILING TILES WITH ACOUSTICAL TILES.

THESE ARE EXISTING CEILING TILES BEING REPLACED WITH ACOUSTICAL TILES, ADDING SOME ACOUSTICAL CARPET IN SOME SELECTED CAMPUSES, EXTENDING THE WALLS TO DECK TO CREATE A SOUND BARRIER. REFLECTING WE'RE DOING SOME PERIMETER SOUND DIFFUSERS REORIENTATION TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE INSTALLED CORRECTLY FOR THE SOUND DIFFUSION THAT WE NEED TO HAVE.

WE'RE ALSO REPLACING QUITE A FEW DOORS WITH SOUND RATED DOORS, WHICH WOULD HAVE HELP ON THE ATTENUATION THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING.

SO THIS IS A STATUS UPDATE THAT WE HAVE WHERE WE ARE PROGRESSING WITH THE 19 CAMPUSES.

AGAIN, WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION THAT WE HAVE ON THERE.

THE ONES THAT ARE 90% COMPLETE WE'RE FINISHING UP THOSE, AND WE'RE WORKING TOWARD SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND THEN CLOSE OUT OF THOSE SPECIFIC ONES.

AS A REMINDER, THIS IS A PROJECT THAT ENCOMPASSES THREE DIFFERENT JOB ORDER CONTRACTORS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF COLLABORATION THAT'S HAPPENING AND A LOT OF COORDINATION BETWEEN THE JOCS, THE JOB ORDER CONTRACTORS, THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM AND OUR STAFF THAT'S WORKING THROUGH THIS.

THERE'S JUST SOME PHOTOS, PROGRESS PHOTOS OF WHAT WE'VE UNCOVERED AND THINGS THAT WE ARE RESOLVING.

YOU SEE THOSE PHOTOS OF THE WALLS THAT'S ABOVE THE DECK WHERE THOSE WALLS DID NOT GO ABOVE THE DECK, AND SO WHAT WE'RE HAVING IS SOUND PENETRATION.

THAT WAS THAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING SOUND PENETRATION FROM ONE ROOM TO THE OTHER, CAUSING CAUSING SOME DISCOMFORT AND BEING ABLE TO PERFORM INSTRUCTION FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE OTHER.

AGAIN, THESE ARE SOME MORE PROGRESS PHOTOS OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE.

[00:05:05]

MOST OF THE WORK IS ACOUSTICAL.

WHAT WE CALL PANELS DIFFUSERS AND WHAT HAVE YOU, AND A LOT OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE IS ABOVE THE CEILING, WHICH IS A REALLY CRITICAL COMPONENT THAT YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE A LOT OF SOUND DOORS ARE BEING ADDED, THOSE YOU CAN SEE.

SO THAT'S JUST A QUICK UPDATE FOR YOU ON THAT.

WE ARE STILL PROGRESSING.

WE STILL BELIEVE, AS WE STATED BEFORE, THAT WE PLAN ON COMPLETING THIS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

MR. GLICK QUESTIONS.

IS THAT CALENDAR OR SCHOOL YEAR? A CALENDAR YEAR, SIR? OKAY. ON OCCASION, I WILL HEAR FROM SOME OF THE BAND DIRECTORS AND ORCHESTRA DIRECTORS, AND I THINK I COULD SAY THAT THEY'RE VERY PLEASED WITH THE WORK SO FAR AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YES, SIR. WHEN WE SHOW THOSE THAT ARE 80% OR BETTER ALMOST COMPLETED, IS THAT A PRETTY SIMPLE COMPLETION ON THOSE PARTICULAR BAND HALLS IS IT I MEAN WILL THAT BE THAT WON'T TAKE THE FULL CALENDAR YEAR FOR THOSE TO BE FINISHED? I MEAN, THEY WILL BE FINISHED EARLIER THAN THAT.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

SO THEY HAD A STAGGERED START AND SO THEY'LL HAVE A STAGGERED FINISH, BUT THE ENTIRE PROJECT WILL BE DONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? OKAY. SEEING NONE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

GOING TO ITEM NUMBER THREE REVIEW THE FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT, MISS RHONDA ROUNTREE.

YES, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON.

TRUSTEE BEACH, PRESIDENT SELDERS BOARD OF TRUSTEES DR.

LOPEZ, WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS AN INFORMATION ITEM.

IS THE FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR, COVERING THE TIME FRAME APRIL 1ST TO JUNE THE 30TH.

THE FIRST CHART YOU'LL SEE IS A PIE CHART THAT IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE DISTRICT'S INVESTMENT POSITION AS OF JUNE 30TH.

AS OF JUNE 30TH, THE DISTRICT'S 1.257 BILLION WAS INVESTED, 52% IN TECH SCHOOL, 28% IN TEXAS CLASS, AND 20% IN THE LONE STAR INVESTMENT POOL.

DIRECTLY BEHIND THIS CHART, YOU'LL SEE THE INFORMATION THAT DETAILS HOW THE POOLS INVEST THE FUNDS THAT ARE DEPOSITED WITH THEM.

THIS IS PROVIDED SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT THE UNDERLYING INVESTMENT OF THE POOLS MIRROR THAT OF OUR INVESTMENT POLICY.

NEXT YOU'LL SEE A GRAPH.

LET ME GET TO THAT.

YOU'LL SEE A GRAPH THAT ILLUSTRATES THE DAILY INTEREST RATES IN THE POOLS OVER THIS LAST QUARTER.

OBVIOUSLY DURING THIS LAST QUARTER, THE DAILY RATES STAYED IN A VERY NARROW RANGE FROM 5.293% TO 5.4563 OVER THE COURSE OF THE QUARTER, AND THE NEXT, YOU WILL FIND THE INFORMATION REGARDING OUR PORTFOLIO THAT DETAILS THE AMOUNTS INVESTED PER FUND.

THE FINAL DOCUMENT IN THE PACKET SHOWS INTEREST INCOME FOR ALL OF THE FUNDS.

FOR THIS LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE EARNED 47.865 MILLION IN INTEREST.

THIS PAST YEAR, 13 MILLION OF THE INTEREST INCOME WAS IN THE GENERAL FUND AND 29.8 MILLION WAS IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS REPORT, I'LL BE GLAD TO SPEAK TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THE MEMBERS? ON THIS ONE, YOU SAID THE GENERAL FUNDS WILL RECEIVE 13,000,000 IN THIS? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY ON THE BOARD? MR. MILLER, I'M GOING TO PASS THE BATON TO YOU ANYWAY.

YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR KICKING US OFF, JOHNNY.

I APOLOGIZE FOR MY TARDINESS.

JUST REAL QUICK MAKE SURE I SAY THIS RIGHT, BUT THE MONEY THAT'S IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND IS MONEY THAT IS TO BE USED FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS.

IT'S A RESTRICTED MONIES.

SO THOSE MONIES WILL GO TO HELP HOPEFULLY COVER INFLATION AND OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SO FAR VERY APPARENT IN ALL OF OUR BIDS, AND THEN THE DEBT SERVICE FUND.

I THINK WE GET ALL THAT MONEY HAS TO GO TO INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL.

THAT IS CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

TODAY IS DEBT SERVICE DAY.

SO WE PAID $32 MILLION IN DEBT SERVICE TODAY.

OKAY. SO AND THEN WE UNDERSTAND THE GENERAL FUND THE STUDENT NUTRITION.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE WERE UNDERSTOOD BY EVERYBODY.

YES, SIR. OKAY.

THANK YOU. DO WE WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT ITEM, THEN? YES, SIR. ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

THIS IS ITEM FOUR A, RIGHT? THIS IS THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT REPORT, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR.

IN SUMMARY, THE REPORT BEFORE YOU REFLECTS THE FOLLOWING.

THE CHART ENTITLED GISD PORTFOLIO SUMMARY DETAILS THE HISTORICAL DATA OF THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO BY MONTH AND BY INVESTMENT TYPE.

FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, OUR ANNUAL YIELD TO MATURITY WAS 5.3313%.

[00:10:04]

THE FINAL SPREADSHEET IS A COMPARISON OF THE AVERAGE MONTHLY INTEREST RATES OF OUR PORTFOLIO IN COMPARISON TO THAT OF THE 30, 60 AND 90 DAY T-BILLS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUNDS, AND OUR MONTHLY AVERAGES ARE COMPETITIVE IN ALL COMPARISON.

THE ONLY VARIANCE, WHICH WAS SOMEWHAT SMALL, IS THAT WITH THE TEXAS CLASS, WHICH INCLUDES COMMERCIAL PAPER IN THE INVESTMENT POOL.

SO INTEREST RATES ARE EXPECTED TO DECLINE IN FUTURE MONTHS.

HOW QUICKLY THEY DECLINE IS UP FOR DEBATE, BUT OUR PRIMARY FOCUS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE SAFETY AND LIQUIDITY OF THE DISTRICT'S INVESTMENTS, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO SPEAK TO THEM.

COMMITTEE, JOHNNY BEACH.

MS. ROUNTREE, DO YOU FEEL LIKE THAT EVEN WITH THE ELECTIONS COMING UP IN NOVEMBER, THAT THE RATES ARE GOING TO HOLD PRETTY GOOD, OR DO YOU THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO.

WELL, BRIGHTER MINDS THAN MINE SAY THAT THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE AT LEAST ONE INTEREST RATE CUT, AND SOME PEOPLE SAY AS MANY AS THREE.

IF WE GO OUT AS FAR AS, SAY, SIX MONTHS THE RATE DECLINES BY 60 BASIS POINTS, WE GET AROUND 4.7%.

IF WE LOOKED AT LIKE NEXT FEBRUARY IF YOU GET BEYOND NOVEMBER, THE RATES DECLINE BELOW 5%.

SO WE'VE INCLUDED THAT IN OUR INTEREST PROJECTIONS FOR THE YEAR.

I THINK THE RATES WILL DEFINITELY DECLINE WHEN THEY DECLINE WILL BE PROBABLY SUBJECT TO POLITICAL MOVES SOMEWHAT.

OR YOU KNOW WHAT THE REPORTS COME BACK LOOKING LIKE, BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE CALCULATED THAT INTO OUR INTEREST PROJECTIONS.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

YEAH. MR. BEACH, TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT.

YOU KNOW AT THE BANK, WE FOLLOW A LOT OF THAT, AND I THINK WHAT WE SAW A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN THE MARKETS FELL QUITE, QUITE A BIT THERE WAS A JOBS REPORT THAT CAME OUT AND THEY EXPECTED 175,000 NEW JOBS, BUT THEY ONLY GOT 110,000, AND THE REACTION FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS THAT THE FED HAS NOW WAITED TOO LONG TO STOP, START DROPPING RATES.

THE, THE THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT EXPECT THREE RATE CUTS BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER, AND THEN BUT THE FED HAS BEEN PRETTY RESOLVED ABOUT SAYING THAT THEY HAVE A STUDIED APPROACH TO THIS INVOLVING THOUSANDS OF DATA POINTS.

SO I MEAN, WHO KNOWS? I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR, YOU KNOW, STABLE WOULD BE THE BEST AND LOWER INTEREST RATES DEPENDING ON IF YOU'RE A BORROWER OR A SAVER.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE A BORROWER, LOWER INTEREST RATES IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

SO THE REAL THING IS WHAT IMPACT WILL THE ELECTION SEASON HAVE ON IT AND THEN HOW DOES THE MARKET REACT ONCE A PRESIDENT IS SELECTED.

I MEAN, ALL THOSE THINGS TO ME ARE GOING TO SWAY RATES ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

I WILL SAY THIS IF YOU ALL HAVE LOOKED ON PAGE 39 OF THIS REPORT.

VERY INTERESTING TO ME IS THIS GO TO LOOK AT THE BOTTOM ROWS THERE, WHERE YOU HAVE JULY OF 20 TO JUNE OF 21, THE TOTAL GENERAL FUND INVESTMENT INCOME WAS 285,000, AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR, 21 TO 22, IT WAS ONLY 427,000, AND THEN YOU FAST FORWARD TO NOW IT'S A 12 MILLION.

SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE IMPACT THAT INTEREST RATES HAVE ON US AND EVEN OUR BUDGET.

SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON, I THINK.

WHAT WAS OUR AVERAGE RATE BACK IN, LET'S SAY 2020, 2021 LIKE LESS THAN 1%? PERCENT VERY LOW.

LESS THAN HALF. SOMETIMES IT WAS AS LOW AS 0.2%.

IT WAS 0.12%.

0.12, SO WE WENT FROM 0.12, AND THEN IF YOU SAW I THINK OUR AVERAGE YIELD RIGHT NOW IS 5%.

SO IT'S A REALLY BIG IMPACT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ESPECIALLY OUR BUDGET.

SO WE WILL BE FOLLOWING RATES REAL CLOSELY HERE OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

I THINK IT'S ON PAGE 39 IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT WHAT THE RATES LOOK LIKE.

YEAH. YOU CAN LOOK AT ON 39, OUR TOTAL INVESTMENT INCOME IN THE 2020-2021 PERIOD WAS 356,000 VERSUS THIS PERIOD. OF COURSE, WE HAVE A LOT OF BOND, BUT IF YOU TOOK OUT THE BOND REVENUE, IT'S BASICALLY 23 MILLION, COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES.

SO BIG DIFFERENCE, BIG DIFFERENCE IN INTEREST RATES ON OUR BUDGET.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYBODY ELSE ON THIS? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ON.

GO TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

WELCOME, ARTURO.

THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DR.

LOPEZ. I PRESENT TO YOU THE JUNE 2024 MONTHLY FINANCIALS.

I MUST PREFACE THIS WITH THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT WE HAVE NOT MADE ALL THE ACCRUALS BACK TO FISCAL YEAR 23-24, AND THERE ARE SOME ACCRUALS THAT

[00:15:06]

92.3%. SO THAT'S A FIGURE TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

THEN I CAN JUMP TO PAGE NUMBER 45 FOR THE REVENUES IN WHICH WE'VE COLLECTED 82.3% OF THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES THAT WERE EXPECTED, AND THE LAST KEY FIGURE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU OR EMPHASIZE IS IN PAGE 52, WHICH SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH AS OF THAT DATE WE SPENT OUT OF ESSER THREE WHICH WERE 101 MILLION IN EXPENSES, AND WE HAD A REMAINING AMOUNT OF 8.7 MILLION ON ESSER THREE.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? JOHNNY BEACH? REAL QUICK, THE ACCOUNT NUMBER 6400.

WHAT IS OTHER OPERATING WHEN WE'RE AT 79.5%, WE'RE ABOUT A $3 MILLION DIFFERENCE THERE IN THE ACTUAL COMPARED TO THE BUDGET.

WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF OTHER OPERATING? THESE ARE MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE EITHER INSTRUCTIONAL OR CONTRACTED SERVICES OR MATERIALS.

SO THERE'S THIS CATEGORY THAT WE CAN IN WHICH WE CAN FIT THEM ALL.

HAS THE REMAINDER OF THAT MONEY ALREADY BEEN REQUISITIONED FOR? LET ME SEE.

WHICH PAGE ARE YOU LOOKING AT? PAGE 42 ON THE ACCOUNTS THAT WE HAVE.

NO, IT HAS NOT BEEN REQUISITIONED FOR, BUT IT WILL BE ADJUSTED AS ACCRUALS COME IN.

OKAY. QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU, MR. DODD. IN TERMS OF THE REVENUE, I THINK WE'RE AT 98% IN THE EXPENSES, BUT 80 SOMETHING PERCENT IN THE REVENUE.

WHAT OTHER TRUE UPS ARE COMING IN TERMS OF OUR REVENUE? SO FOR THE MOST PART WE DON'T GET FINAL SETTLE UP WITH TEA UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST, AND IT CONTINUES FROM THAT POINT ON AS THEY GET ALL OF OUR PEIMS INFORMATION LOADED INTO THEIR SYSTEM, AND SO WE LACK ABOUT 100, RIGHT ABOUT 100 MILLION, MAYBE 92 MILLION LEFT FROM TEA THAT WILL GO BACK INTO THE BOOKS FOR NEXT YEAR, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T RECEIVE IT UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE ACCRUALS HE'S TALKING ABOUT THAT WE WILL ACCRUE THE AMOUNT THAT WE THINK IT WILL BE ADJUSTED AS THE NEAR FINALS COME OUT FROM TEA IN SEPTEMBER UNTIL WE'RE READY TO SAY THIS IS OUR LAST NUMBER IN AUDIT AND THAT WILL BE PRESENTED IN THE AUDIT.

AT THAT POINT, WOULD IT BE CORRECT FOR ME TO ASSUME THAT WE HAVE A FEW EXPENSES TO BE ACCRUED AND ABOUT 100 MILLION IN REVENUE TO BE ADDED BEFORE WE GET TO A FINAL NUMBER? YES, THE SALARY ACCRUALS, BECAUSE WE PAY OUR TEACHERS THROUGH AUGUST FROM THE PAST YEAR.

SO THAT WILL BE ACCRUED BACK TO THE PAST YEAR.

BUDGET. OKAY, AND THEN IN TERMS OF YOU TALKED ABOUT TEAMS AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS, AND I KNOW ADA IS A PART OF IT.

FINAL NUMBERS AND ALL THAT.

ARE WE EXPECTING A LITTLE BETTER THAN A LITTLE BETTER RESULTS OR WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE ON ADA RIGHT NOW? IF YOU LOOK UP THE SUMMARY FINANCE ON TEA, THEY HAVE OUR ADA AT 46,336 I BELIEVE WE FINISHED AT 46,741, I THINK.

I MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OFF ON THOSE NUMBERS.

SO THEIR THEIR REVENUE WILL ADJUST ONCE THEY LOAD THAT PEIMS INFORMATION.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

OKAY I THINK THAT TAKES US TO ITEM 4A6.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MR. MILLER.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DR.

LOPEZ. WE HAVE RECEIVED OUR 2024 CERTIFIED TAX ROLL, WHICH REFLECTS $44,663,163,760 OF MARKET VALUE, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 11.78% FROM LAST YEAR AND A TAXABLE VALUE OF $32,690,505,529, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 13.5% FROM LAST YEAR.

[00:20:01]

THIS YEAR, WE PROVIDED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON NEW CONSTRUCTION AND VALUE AND DISPUTE THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

THE NEW CONSTRUCTION THERE WERE 1648 PARCELS OF NEW CONSTRUCTION.

96% OF THAT IS RESIDENTIAL, AND THE VALUE AND DISPUTE FOR 2024 IS SLIGHTLY DECREASED, AND IT'S AT 2% THIS YEAR WITH 2746 PARCELS THAT ARE UNDER DISPUTE, WITH 2642 OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL, WHICH WE SHOULD RECEIVE THE SETTLEMENTS FROM THOSE BY THE NOVEMBER SUPPLEMENT FOR BILLING IN TIME FOR PAYMENT BEFORE JANUARY 31ST, I AM CERTIFYING AN ESTIMATED COLLECTION RATE OF 99.52% FOR THE 2024 TAX YEAR, BASED ON OUR THREE YEAR AVERAGE OF OUR ACTUAL COLLECTIONS, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU.

SORRY. THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT.

COMMITTEE. ANY QUESTIONS? LARRY? JOHNNY? BOARD. ANY QUESTIONS? EXCELLENT WORK, AND ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE RESULTS OF THE OF THE DISPUTES.

ALTHOUGH I DID HEAR THAT MR. GLICK WAS GOING TO WAIVE ALL OF HIS EXEMPTIONS AND JUST PAY THE FULL AMOUNT THIS YEAR.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

YEAH, IF WE CAN, IF WE CAN ADJUST HIS TAX BILL FOR THAT, THAT'D BE GREAT.

YOU CAN DONATE THE MONEY.

WE JUST CAN'T WAIVE YOUR TAX EXEMPTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TREAT IT AS A DONATION, LARRY.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GO TO YEAH, HE'S HE'S A GIVER.

WE'LL GO TO 4A7 SEVEN.

YES, SIR. MR. MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE ITEM PRESENTED TODAY IS THE JUNE COLLECTION REPORT, REFLECTING 98.32% COLLECTED OF THE 2023 BASE LEVY. THERE WAS ONE OVERPAYMENT WHICH EXCEEDED $500, AND AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, WE ARE AT 98.63% COLLECTED OF THE 2023 TAX LEVY.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD? COMMITTEE? OKAY.

SEEING NONE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. GOOD REPORTS.

LET'S GO TO ACTION ITEM B1, AND THIS IS THE CONSIDERATION OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND RESOLUTION FOR SALE OF TAX FORECLOSED

[IV.B. Action Items (Non Consent)]

THANK YOU, MR. MILLER. DR. LOPEZ, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US TODAY IS THE CITY OF GARLAND IN DALLAS COUNTY HAVE ASKED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO ENTER INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE RESALE OF TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTIES, AND THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS ARE PROPERTIES THAT WOULD THE RESALE WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSES WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND'S COMPREHENSIVE 2020 TO 2024 PLAN FOR URBAN REDEVELOPMENT AND FOR LOW INCOME, MODERATE INCOME HOUSING.

WHAT IT WILL DO IS STREAMLINE OUR PROCESS, AND IT WILL ALSO PUT DEED RESTRICTIONS WITHIN THESE PROPERTIES FOR THESE SALES THAT WOULD MAKE IT WOULD FORCE THE DEVELOPERS THAT IT HAS TO BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

MR. MILLER, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU RECALL, BUT LAST YEAR WE APPROVED THE SALE OF A PROPERTY TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, AND YOU RAISED THAT QUESTION ABOUT WHAT WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM DOING SOMETHING ELSE WITH THIS PROPERTY OR SELLING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE? WELL, THIS WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM DOING THAT.

IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A QUICKER PROCESS FOR US TO GET THIS DONE ONCE THE CITY IDENTIFIES PROPERTIES THAT THEY WANT TO USE.

FOR THIS, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE 60 DAYS TO RESPOND TO THEM.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD STILL HAVE THE OPTION OF REJECTING ANY OF THESE PROPERTY SALES, BUT IT WILL ALSO HELP US TO GET THESE PROPERTIES BACK ON THE TAX ROLL AND FOR THE PURPOSE THAT THE CITY IS INTENDING FOR THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS? DOUG, I'LL ASK YOU ONE REAL QUICK.

SURE. DID YOU MAKE THE COMMENT THAT THIS LOCAL AGREEMENT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 60 DAYS? NO, NO, NO, FOR ALL THE PROPERTIES TO BE NO, NO.

ONCE THE CITY IDENTIFIES A PROPERTY, THIS AGREEMENT IS GOOD.

I BELIEVE FOR THREE YEARS IS THE TERM OF IT, BUT ONCE THE CITY IDENTIFIES A PROPERTY.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE COUNTY HAVE 60 DAYS TO RESPOND AS TO WHETHER THEY APPROVE THAT SALE OR NOT? GOTCHA. OKAY. FIVE YEARS.

OKAY. YEAH, I THINK IT'S FIVE YEARS OR PERIOD IN TERM AND TERMINATION.

IT SAYS IN EFFECT FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.

OKAY. THERE WERE A LOT OF REVISIONS GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THIS.

THAT'S FINE. SO THE CITY, JUST PROCEDURALLY, THE CITY, WHEN THEY IDENTIFY A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THEY WANT TO PUT BACK IN PLAY AND MAKE IT A PART OF A AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM OR SOMETHING ELSE, THEY THEN SELL IT.

THEY THEY GET POSSESSION OR OWNERSHIP OF IT.

THEY THEN SELL IT TO THE DEVELOPER WHO HAS THE REQUIREMENTS TO DEVELOP IT.

YES. THAT'S CORRECT. SO THESE ARE ALL PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, THAT DIDN'T PAY THEIR TAXES.

[00:25:01]

THE AUCTION FOR THE MINIMUM BID, AND THE CITY THEN HAS BEEN EITHER IDENTIFIED THESE PROPERTIES AS ONE THAT WOULD WORK WITHIN THOSE PROGRAMS, FOR INSTANCE, TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY SO THAT THE PROPERTIES CAN BE BUILT ON IT, AND YES, AND THEN IT WOULD BE THE CITY WOULD THEN RESELL THAT PROPERTY AND THE CITY ACCESS TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF DALLAS COUNTY AND GARLAND ISD, AND THE CITY IS UNDER NO PRESSURE, I MEAN, THEY CAN SELL IT FOR WHATEVER PRICE THEY DEEM, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, AND SO ONCE THEY OWN IT, THEY SELL IT FOR A DOLLAR IF THEY WANT TO, TO SAY LIKE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

CORRECT. IF THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROGRAM.

YES. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS ACTION ITEM NUMBER ONE.

WE'LL NOW GO TO B2 WHICH IS THE SECOND ACTION ITEM.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A $50,260.49 DONATION FROM KIMBERLY ACADEMY, AND THIS IS MISS ELIZABETH MURDOCH.

CHAIRMAN MILLER, DR.

LOPEZ, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

MY NAME IS ELIZABETH MURDOCH.

I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF KIMBERLIN AND HILLSIDE ACADEMIES FOR EXCELLENCE.

I'M HERE TONIGHT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF A $50,260.49 DONATION FROM THE KIMBERLIN ACADEMY PTA.

AS A RESULT OF THE PTA FUNDRAISING EFFORTS IN THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR.

THE TOTAL REFLECTS THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO COVER.

THE PTA BOARD APPROVED GRANT REQUESTS MADE BY TEACHERS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES TO BE USED BY KIMBERLIN STUDENTS.

BOARD ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL? OKAY. WE DO HAVE ONE, MISS STANLEY.

SO IS WE'VE NOT SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE.

SO WAS THIS JUST ONE PARTICULAR.

I MEAN, THIS IS A LOT FOR.

WHICH IS GREAT, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW WERE THEY THAT SUCCESSFUL? HOW WERE THEY THAT SUCCESSFUL? SO THEY'VE BEEN THAT SUCCESSFUL IN THE PAST? I THINK IT'S JUST BEEN BROKEN UP DIFFERENTLY.

THIS HAS BEEN THIS IS A ONE CHUNK.

HONESTLY, WE DO ONE MAJOR FUNDRAISER, AND OUR PTA BOARD GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER FOR US. IT'S OUR ANNUAL FUN RUN HELD IN NOVEMBER.

YOU'RE ALL WELCOME TO COME OUT AT THE END OF IT ALL GET SLIMED.

SOMETIMES I DANCE ON THE ROOF.

DON'T TELL JAVIER.

SO IT'S AN AMAZING, AMAZING EFFORT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. I THINK ONE OF THE POINTS OF CLARITY IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE NOW IT'S A COMBINED CAMPUS.

ARE THESE RESOURCES GOING TO BOTH SETS OF THE.

GOOD QUESTION. SO THIS WAS THE MONEY RAISED BY THE KIMBERLIN ACADEMY PTA, AS WE HAVE AS WE UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW, BOTH OF OUR CAMPUSES ARE WORKING UNDER SEPARATE CAMPUS BUDGETS.

OUR PTAS HAVE TO WORK UNDER SEPARATE CAMPUS PTAS.

WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE TEXAS PTA AND THEY HAVE A PLAN FOR US WHEN THAT CONSOLIDATION IS READY, BUT IT HAS TO BE ONCE WE ARE UNDER ONE UNITED NAME, UNDER ONE CAMPUS.

SO AT THIS TIME, THE PHYSICAL RESOURCES THAT WERE GRANTED, SOME OF THEM WILL BE USABLE WHEN WE ARE COMBINED, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE RESOURCE.

SOME OF THEM ARE YEAR LONG SUBSCRIPTIONS TO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. THERE ARE ITEMS FOR FLEXIBLE SEATING.

THERE ARE ITEMS FOR STATIONS AND GROUPING MATH MANIPULATIVES.

THOSE THINGS WILL BE USED ONCE WE GET TO THE NEW BUILDING CAN BE USED BY BOTH KIMBERLIN AND HILLSIDE STUDENTS, SO IT DEPENDS ON THE NATURE OF THE ITEM, WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL BE UTILIZED BY KIMBERLIN STUDENTS OR BOTH KIMBERLIN AND HILLSIDE AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE WE'RE OPERATING UNDER SEPARATE BUDGETS, THIS IS ONLY KIMBERLIN PTA, KIMBERLIN BUDGET.

I THINK MISS GRIFFIN WAS NEXT, AND THEN JOHNNY BEACH.

OH, OKAY.

THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT, BUT YOU SAID SOMETHING IN YOUR OPENING COMMENTS, AND I THINK YOU BEGAN TO CLEAR IT UP IN YOUR JUST MENTIONED, BUT YOU SAID TO COVER THE GRANTS AND THINGS FOR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAID FOR TEACHERS, FOR STUDENTS EXPLAIN THAT PIECE TO ME BECAUSE I, BECAUSE WHAT I DON'T WE USE GRANTS A LOT IN THE DISTRICT.

SO THIS IS A CAMPUS PROCESS.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE GRANTS THAT A DISTRICT OR WHATEVER.

SO EXPLAIN THAT PROCESS.

YES MA'AM. SO THERE IS A FORM THAT THE TEACHERS HAVE TO FILL OUT PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST. WE CALL IT A GIFT TO KIMBERLIN.

THE PTA BOARD CALLS IT A GRANT REQUEST THROUGH PTA.

SIMPLY USING THIS FORM.

THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE AND THE NATURE OF THE ITEM BEING REQUESTED.

HOW IS IT GOING TO DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE STUDENTS? SO IT CANNOT BE A CHAIR FOR THE TEACHER TO SIT IN.

IT HAS TO BE AN ITEM THAT IS GOING TO DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE STUDENTS.

SO THEY FILL OUT A QUOTE UNQUOTE GRANT REQUEST, WHICH IS SIMPLY OUR IN-HOUSE PTA GIFT REQUEST.

[00:30:05]

THAT'S AWESOME.

ON THESE FOUR BULLET POINTS THAT YOU HAVE HERE BEFORE US ON THE ITEMS LISTED AND YOU SAID THAT THE TEACHERS FILL OUT THE FORM.

WHO THEN APPROVES THOSE THOSE FORMS THAT ARE FILLED OUT.

IS THERE A COMMITTEE OR IS IT PTA? OR IS IT THROUGH YOU? WHO DOES IT TO SEE WHERE THE MONEY GOES TO IN THAT BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM? SO FIRST IT WILL COME THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION.

SO LAST YEAR THAT WAS PRINCIPAL TAMMY SULLIVAN.

I WAS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT THE TIME.

THIS YEAR, THIS NEXT YEAR, OF COURSE, IT WILL BE THROUGH ME.

WE GO THROUGH THE NOT SOLELY THROUGH ME.

IT STARTS THE PROCESS STARTS AT THE ADMINISTRATION LEVEL TO FILTER THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE REQUESTS ARE THINGS THAT WE CANNOT BUY WITH OUR OWN FUNDS.

THINGS THAT WE ARE NOT BEING GIVEN THROUGH DISTRICT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, AND AFTER WE HAVE FILTERED THROUGH, THEN WE BRING THAT FORWARD TO THE PTA BOARD. THE ENTIRE PTA BOARD GOES THROUGH THE SPREADSHEET, ITEM BY ITEM, VOTING ON EACH RESOURCE OR MATERIAL THAT IS BEING REQUESTED AND HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS, APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST, AND WE TALLY UP OR TOTAL UP THE APPROVED REQUESTS AT THE END AND TAKE THAT TOTAL, AND THAT IS THE $50,260.49 THAT YOU SEE.

SO, MR. DODD, IS THIS MONEY EARMARKED TO THE BUDGET OR ANY FORM OR FASHION, OR IS IT STRICTLY HOW DOES THAT WORK? IT WON'T HIT THE LOCAL BUDGET.

THIS WILL BE PROBABLY THROUGH THE PTA IF THEY GIVE THE GRANT FUNDS AND IT'LL PROBABLY RUN THROUGH THEIR ACTIVITY FUND AND THEN THEY WILL RUN THE REQUEST OR POS THROUGH THEIR ACTIVITY FUND.

OKAY, GOOD. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAN.

OH, YES. YES, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A LOT OF FUNDRAISERS WHERE I'VE SEEN SOMEBODY TAKE OFF.

OH, NO, IT'S ALL GOOD TO GO.

GOOD TO GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M SORRY, MR. MURDOCH. REMIND ME WHERE YOU WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL.

GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. GARLAND HIGH.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I HAVE FOLLOWED HER SINCE 10TH GRADE WHEN HER AND MY DAUGHTER BECAME BEST FRIENDS, AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED FOR THE COMING YEAR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MR. MILLER. YES, SIR.

I WANT TO MAKE ONE CLARIFICATION.

YES. I THINK I SAID THAT THE STATE OWED US 100 MILLION.

IT'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE OVER 72 MILLION.

THEY HAD MADE AN UPDATE ON THEIR STUFF.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO IF SOMEBODY GOES OUT THERE AND CHECKS ME THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT 72 MILLION PROBABLY COMING IN THE TRUE UP.

WHAT IF THAT HASN'T BEEN CODED? THERE'LL BE QUITE A BIT, BUT YES, WE'LL WE'LL GET IT.

IT'S STUFF THAT WE HAVE COUNTED FOR.

IT JUST HASN'T BEEN INTO THE FINANCIALS.

THIS IS THIS FINANCIAL HERE IS SOMETHING YOU ALL PROBABLY HAVE NOT SEEN THE JUNE FINANCIALS BEFORE.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO PROVIDE, EVEN THOUGH THE FINAL WILL BE IN WHEN WE GET THE AUDIT.

SO THIS IS REAL EARLY IN DOING SO, BUT JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SHOW WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT.

WELL, GREAT. I THINK THAT TAKES US TO ITEM THREE.

YEAH. SORRY, MR. MILLER. JUST A MINUTE. DON'T RUN OFF YET.

HERE WE GO. WE HAVE SOME PTA MEMBERS HERE FROM KIMBERLIN.

WE ALREADY CONGRATULATE THEM.

OH, YEAH. CONGRATULATIONS.

THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE PTA FROM KIMBERLIN.

THANK YOU.

THEY BOTH WENT TO KIMBERLY. CONGRATS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S GREAT.

WONDERFUL. GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME.

OKAY, LET'S GO TO ITEM THREE.

CONSIDER APPROVAL AND BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE 2024-2025 GENERAL FUND.

MISS CORDOVA-LONG.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

CHAIRMAN. MILLER. COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

SUPERINTENDENT LOPEZ.

TODAY WE HAVE THE BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

THIS MONTH, WE ONLY HAVE TWO AMENDMENT ITEMS. WE HAVE THE 1.5 MILLION FOR THE FINE ARTS REPLACEMENT OF BAND EQUIPMENT, AND THIS IS YEAR TWO OF THAT PROGRAM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE 1.5 MILLION OF ADDITIONAL MAY 2024 STORM DAMAGE, AND THAT IS FOR HVAC WORK AT SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD, COMMITTEE, ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD MEMBERS, ANYBODY? I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ITEMS. OKAY. THANK YOU.

LET'S GO TO ITEM FOUR.

[00:35:01]

GRADYNE BROWN IS JOINING US.

WELCOME. GOOD EVENING, CHAIRMAN MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I LAST MONTH BROUGHT THIS AGREEMENT TO YOU.

SINCE BRINGING THE AGREEMENT TO YOU.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DEVELOPMENTS.

DALLAS COLLEGE RECEIVED A FEDERAL GRANT FROM OUR DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND WE HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED WITH DALLAS COUNTY TO RECEIVE AN ADDITION TO RECEIVE $5,000, UP TO $5,000 FOR OUR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES WHO WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR CAPE TEACHERS, AND THAT CAN BE SEEN ON THE MOU.

I'M NOT SURE.

ARE Y'ALL'S BOOKS BLACK AND WHITE AND NOT COLORED.

I TRIED TO BOLD THE PRINT AND MAKE IT RED AS WELL.

I BELIEVE IT'S ON THE FOURTH PAGE.

YOU HAVE COLOR COPIES? WE DO HAVE COLOR IN RED.

OKAY. OKAY.

COMMITTEE, ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? BOARD. MS. GRIFFIN.

YES. THANK YOU FOR THIS.

WE HAD ALREADY APPROVED THE CAPE PROGRAM.

WE ALREADY HAD THE KICKOFF.

I'M ASSUMING WE HAD ALREADY IDENTIFIED THESE MENTORS OR WHATEVER THEY'RE BEING CALLED.

SO YOU ALL HAD ALREADY DONE ALL OF THAT WORK.

IS THAT A TRUE STATEMENT? WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING OUR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES.

OKAY, BUT WE'VE IDENTIFIED HOW MANY IS IN THE CAPE PROGRAM? YES. STAFF, AND THAT NUMBER IS WE HAVE 33 CAPE TEACHERS, INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES.

OKAY, AND SO NOW THAT WE HAVE THESE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, IS THERE GOING TO BE REQUIREMENTS FOR SINCE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IS THERE REQUIREMENT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAN BE USED IN THIS MENTORSHIP TYPE PROGRAM AND DO YOU THINK WITH BEING ABLE TO BE PAID BECAUSE WE WERE NOT GOING TO PAY THEM ORIGINALLY, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. SO DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HELP PEOPLE VOLUNTEERING TO BE IN THE PROGRAM, OR HOW DO YOU SEE THE FUNDS ENHANCING WHAT WE WERE ALREADY COMMITTED TO DO? SO OUR CAMPUSES ALREADY HAVE THE POSITION CALLED INSTRUCTIONAL COACH, AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS ALREADY WORK WITH OUR NEW TEACHERS, OUR VETERAN TEACHERS AND SO FORTH, BUT THIS WILL REQUIRE THEM TO DO ADDITIONAL WORK WITH OUR CAPE INSTRUCTORS.

FOR EXAMPLE, AN AVERAGE OF TWO HOURS PER WEEK IN MEETINGS AND OBSERVATIONS.

THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE REPORTS, DO CO-TEACHING AND WORK WITH THEM ON THEIR LESSON PLANNING AND TEKS THE HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SO FORTH.

SO THIS IS ADDITIONAL WORK TO THEIR ALREADY IDENTIFIED INSTRUCTIONAL COACH RESPONSIBILITIES.

YES IT IS. SO DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE MUCH OR ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT DO NOT HAVE THE REGULAR ONGOING DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING? NO. THIS WILL BE OUR CURRENT INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES, AND WE WILL BE TRAINING THEM IN THE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE GRANT PROGRAM. OKAY, THIS IS AN EXCITING PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE ABLE TO SEE IT TO THE END, WHERE DALLAS COLLEGE HAS COMMITTED THAT WHEN OUR PEOPLE COME OUT OF THIS PROGRAM, THEY WILL ALREADY BE CERTIFIED.

SO WE WILL NOT BE HIRING AND THEN HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON THIS.

THANK YOU.

MR. GLICK.

THANK YOU. SO THE 5000 IS IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER STIPENDS? YES. IF THEY ARE RECEIVING ADDITIONAL STIPENDS, BUT IN MOST CASES THIS WILL BE THEIR ONLY STIPEND.

THANK YOU.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, DR. BROWN.

THANK YOU. OKAY LET'S GO TO ITEM FOUR.

[00:40:05]

NOPE WE JUST DID THAT.

LET'S GO TO NUMBER FIVE.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SLOPE EASEMENT.

EASEMENT, ELECTRICAL EASEMENT AND RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION BETWEEN GARLAND ISD AND THE CITY OF GARLAND, AND NOW, PAUL GONZALES, WELCOME.

IT'S PAGE 94.

BOARD. GOOD AFTERNOON.

CHAIRPERSON MILLER, BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

DR. LOPEZ.

I'M HERE TODAY TO GO OVER SOME INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF GARLAND.

CITY OF GARLAND WILL BE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS ON BRAND ROAD BETWEEN STATE HIGHWAY 190 AND EAST MUIRFIELD RD.

THE CITY OF GARLAND AND THEIR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES HAVE REQUESTED A SLOPE EASEMENT.

ELECTRICAL EASEMENT, RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION ON THE PROPERTY.

ON THE PROPERTY SITUATED AT 1315 A 1350 EAST BRAND ROAD, GARLAND, TEXAS, 75044.

THAT PROPERTY BELONGS TO GARLAND ISD.

SO WHAT THE CITY HAS EXCHANGED FOR THIS EXECUTION, THE CITY AGREES TO PAY $49,584.60 FOR TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR 21,190FT² EASEMENT FOR THE SLOPE.

THEY ALSO AGREED TO PAY THE DISTRICT $1,121.73 FOR 417FT² OF EASEMENT FOR THE ELECTRICAL THAT HAS TO BE DONE ON THE PROPERTY.

THEY ALSO HAVE AGREED TO PAY THE DISTRICT $358,490.22.

TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR 99,858FT² FEET FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THE TOTAL OF THE CITY IS OFFERING FOR THE.

FOR THESE, FOR THESE EASEMENTS IS 40919655.

THE EASEMENTS WERE REVIEWED BY OUR INTERNAL LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND FACILITIES, AND IT IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE SLOPE EASEMENT, ELECTRICAL EASEMENT RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION BETWEEN GARLAND ISD AND THE CITY OF GARLAND, WHICH MEETS THE GOALS OF THE DISTRICT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? MR. BEACH? PAUL, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS IS GOING TO BE A ROUNDABOUT.

YES, AND THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO ONE NOT ONLY THERE IN FRONT OF OUR PROPERTY, THEY'RE GOING TO DO ONE DOWN AT MUIRFIELD ALSO.

YES. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE TWO RIGHT THERE ON BRAND ROAD.

THAT'S WHAT THE CITY HAS SHARED WITH US.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHAT DOES A I MEAN, THAT'S CUTTING INTO A PROPERTY THAT'S PRETTY VALUABLE FOR GISD.

HOW DOES THAT HURT THE VALUE OF OUR PROPERTY? BY THEM PUTTING A ROUNDABOUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THAT DENTIST OFFICE.

RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF US.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THAT? I DON'T THINK IT DEVALUATES THE PROPERTY.

IT'S JUST IT GIVES US A IT WILL IMPACT ANY, ANY EXIT OFF THAT PROPERTY AS WE DESIGN A FUTURE PROJECT DOWN THE ROAD.

THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME, SOME IMPACT TO GETTING IN AN EGRESS AND EXITING EGRESS AND ENTRANCE INTO THE PROPERTY.

YES, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF, TOO.

SO THE MAJORITY OF THESE THE MAJORITY OF THESE EASEMENTS, THERE'S A LOT OF UNDERGROUND WORK.

IT'S BASICALLY RUNNING ALL THEIR ELECTRICAL AND, AND AND THEIR SLOPE EASEMENTS, AND IT REALLY DOESN'T IMPACT THE PROPERTY, BUT THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE ACTUAL THE ACTUAL RIGHT OF WAY DOES AFFECT OUR PROPERTY A LITTLE BIT FOR THEM TO CUT INTO THE INTO THAT AREA TO WIDEN THE STREET, BASICALLY. YEAH.

I'VE HAD SOME HOMEOWNERS AND THEIR ASSOCIATIONS VISIT WITH ME ABOUT I'M NOT ON THE CITY COUNCIL OR ANYTHING, BUT ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUTS AND WHY THEY'RE PUTTING TWO ON THAT ONE PARTICULAR ROAD.

I KNOW BECAUSE PEOPLE SPEEDING GOING DOWN THE HILL, BUT EVEN THE ONES AT MUIRFIELD ARE NOT REAL HAPPY BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING INTO A SINGLE, SINGLE LANE BRIDGE DOWN THERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THAT.

SO I DON'T KNOW.

I'M KIND OF TORN BETWEEN THIS.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

MR. GLICK KIND OF THE SAME BELIEF OF MR. BEACH. WOULD WE BE ABLE TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL DRAWINGS ON THIS, POSSIBLY FROM THE CITY THERE IS IN YOUR PACKET.

IF YOU IN YOUR PACKET, THERE SHOULD BE SOME, SOME THE ACTUAL EASEMENT RIGHTS.

IF YOU DON'T, I CAN GET THOSE TO YOU.

YEAH, I THINK MAYBE WITH MORE CLARITY.

[00:45:02]

I WILL GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU.

AS YOU REMEMBER, AT ONE POINT, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PROPERTY FOR OUR NATATORIUM AND THEN MADE THE DECISION TO MOVE IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION BECAUSE OF THE VALUE OF THIS, THIS SINGLE PROPERTY, AND THAT VALUE HAS ONLY GONE UP OVER THE YEARS SINCE 14, 15, 16, WHEN WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT FOR THE NATATORIUM, AND AGAIN, AS MR. BEACH INDICATES, AND I'VE HEARD THE SAME THING.

WE DON'T WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT WHAT YOUR OPINION IS OF THE DEVALUATION, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY INGRESS AND EGRESS OFF OF THE TOLL ROAD, RIGHT. THAT IS CORRECT.

SO THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY PLACE FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS.

I THINK WE NEED MORE INFORMATION.

OKAY. THE OTHER THE OTHER THING THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU, JUST IN CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. FERNANDEZ ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR US TO, AS WE LOOK DOWN THE ROAD TO DEVELOP SOMETHING THERE AS A FUTURE PROJECT.

THE CIVIL. IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL PROPERTY, THERE IS SO MUCH PROPERTY AND THEN THE REST OF THE PROPERTY IS IS REALLY SLOPED DOWN.

SO THERE'S MINIMUMS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT THERE'S ACREAGE, BUT IT'S NOT A LOT OF ACREAGE BECAUSE OF WE WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME INTENSIVE CIVIL WORK TO MAKE THAT PROPERTY REALLY, REALLY WORKABLE FOR US BUT AGAIN, I'LL GET YOU THE INFORMATION, SIR, AND WE DID BRING IN PHIL, IF YOU REMEMBER.

YES. WAY BACK THEN.

THAT IS CORRECT. LEVEL IT OFF.

YES, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AGAIN, BECAUSE WHETHER WE DECIDE TO USE THIS FOR A LOCATION OR TO EVENTUALLY SELL IT, WE NEED THAT INFORMATION.

YES, SIR. I'LL GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU.

THANK YOU.

REAL QUICK, DEFINE FOR ME WHAT A SLOPE EASEMENT IS.

JAVIER, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THAT ONE.

CAN YOU DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A SLOPE EASEMENT? AS COMPARED TO JUST AN EASEMENT OR UTILITY EASEMENT OR ANY OTHER THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF? IT'S JUST A IT'S A TERMINOLOGY THEY USE WHEN THEY'RE SO THEY'RE EXPANDING THE ROAD.

SO YOU'VE GOT, YOU HAVE A UTILITY EASEMENT, WHICH TYPICALLY IS UNDERGROUND WHERE YOU'RE ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO GET ON AN OWNER'S PROPERTY.

THAT'S ONE EASEMENT.

YOU'VE GOT A DRAINAGE EASEMENT, WHICH SERVES THE SAME THING.

SLOPE EASEMENT BASICALLY IS TAKING THE PROPERTY LINE AND PUSHING IT FURTHER IN TO THE PROPERTY WHERE YOU'RE YOU STILL OWN THAT PROPERTY, BUT IT'S SLOPING, AND SO IT'S CREATING THE ENTRANCE FOR THE PROPERTY WILL CHANGE THE TOPOGRAPHY OF WHAT WE SEE NOW, AND SO THAT'S WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE IS THE EXHIBIT OF THE ACTUAL EASEMENT, BUT WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE IS THE ACTUAL CIVIL DRAWINGS THAT ARE DONE.

AS MR. GONZALES STATED, THE ROUNDABOUTS.

WE HAVE NOT BEEN AFFORDED THAT INFORMATION FROM THE CITY BECAUSE THAT'S TYPICALLY NOT PROVIDED TO THE OWNERS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN EASEMENT.

THE CIVIL DRAWINGS FROM THE DETAILS, BUT BUT AS MR. GONZALES SAID, WE WILL REACH BACK OUT TO THE CITY AND GET THAT DETAIL SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE YOU SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE TOPO TOPOGRAPHY IS GOING TO CHANGE UPON THEIR COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT, AND SO THAT CAN ANSWER A LOT OF YOUR QUESTIONS, PARTICULARLY TO WHAT DOES A SLOPE EASEMENT LOOK LIKE? WHAT IS THE END RESULT OF THAT, AND HOW IT IMPACTS THE, THE FRONT FRONTAGE ROAD FOR THE FRONT ENTRY OF OF THAT PROPERTY.

TOWARDS THAT, TOWARDS THAT.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS NO ENTRANCE OFF THE FRONTAGE ROAD TO OUR PROPERTY TODAY.

TODAY THERE IS NOT BECAUSE TODAY THIS IS JUST A IT'S JUST AN EMPTY PARCEL.

IS IT POSSIBLE? I MEAN, WOULD IT EVEN BE POSSIBLE TO CREATE AN ENTRY? YES. YES, ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH. IT'S NOT A REAL FRONTAGE ROAD THERE.

IT'S JUST AN EXIT THAT COMES OFF OF THE TOLLWAY TO BRAND ROAD.

SO YOU WOULD LITERALLY THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET ON THAT ROAD IS TO BE ON THE TOLLWAY, RIGHT? SO IT ISN'T A DEDICATED FRONTAGE ROAD THAT RUNS FROM FIREWHEEL OR LAVON TO BRAND.

THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THERE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S A 190 ENTRANCE, 190 SIDE ENTRANCE TO THIS PROPERTY.

SO REALLY THE ONLY INTEREST WE HAVE IS ON BRAND.

THAT IS CORRECT, AND IF I UNDERSTAND, RIGHT, WHATEVER THIS EASEMENT IS, WE STILL OWN THE PROPERTY.

WE'VE JUST GRANTED THAT EASEMENT.

THAT EASEMENT WILL TRAVEL WITH WHOEVER BUYS THE PROPERTY.

OR IF WE USE IT, IT STAYS WITH THEM, AND WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS IT HAS TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL, WHICH I'M HOPING IS ALL UNDERGROUND.

EVERYTHING OVER THERE IS GOING TO BE UNDERGROUND.

THAT'S GOING TO BE IN THE AIR.

AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE, THREE EASEMENTS THAT WE'RE SPEAKING OF RIGHT HERE, AND SO THE ELECTRICAL AREA IS UNDERGROUND.

RIGHT. SO THE ELECTRICAL IS UNDERGROUND, NOT AERIAL.

OKAY. YEAH.

WELL, THIS PROPERTY I THINK, HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY IMPORTANT TO US IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GREAT PIECE OF

[00:50:09]

I THINK IT DOES HAVE SOME CIVIL ENGINEERING THAT HAS TO BE DONE TO USE IT PROPERLY, ESPECIALLY TO RECLAIM SOME OF THAT MAY BE FLOODPLAIN ISH ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CREEK. RIGHT. IT'S ON THE BACKSIDE.

SO HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK IS CURRENTLY USABLE AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR, QUOTE USABLE WOULD WE BE GIVING UP IF WE GIVE THIS UP? I HAVE NOT RUN THOSE CALCULATIONS, SO I BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BUYER NORMALLY BUYS IT BASED OFF THE USABLE ACREAGE.

THAT'S CORRECT. OR THE COST IT WOULD HAVE TO INCUR TO BRING IT UP TO OUT OF THE FLOODPLAIN.

YEAH, JUST KIND OF GIVE US SOME WHAT IFS, I THINK IS WHAT I'M HEARING FROM OTHER BOARD MEMBERS.

MR. JOHNSON, AND THEN MR. GRIFFIN, JUST AN ASIDE.

I DID USE THE MIRACLE OF GOOGLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT A SLOPE EASEMENT IS, AND HONESTLY, I DON'T LIKE WHAT I'M READING.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, IT'S A PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY EASEMENT THAT GIVES SOMEONE THE RIGHT TO USE THE AREA FOR SLOPES, CUTS, AND FILLS NEXT TO A PUBLIC STREET.

THE EASEMENT CAN COVER THE AREA NEEDED FOR SLOPES, PLUS AN ADDITIONAL FIVE FEET.

THE EASEMENT HOLDER CAN USE THE AREA FOR EXCAVATING, SLOPING, AND CUTTING.

SO IT'S NOT JUST BURYING A LINE LIKE WE TYPICALLY SEE.

THEY CAN USE IT TO BUILD A SLOPE TO SUPPORT THE ROAD ENGINEERING SUCH.

SO I WOULD ASSUME THAT ANYTHING THAT'S IN THIS EASEMENT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT BE USABLE FOR US AT THAT POINT.

THAT'S WHY I THINK IT RENDERS IT UNUSABLE.

I MEAN, THERE'S SOME EASEMENTS WHERE YOU CAN STILL PARK UNDER IT, YOU KNOW, PARK ON IT OR WHATEVER YOU CAN, YOU CAN DO OTHER THINGS TO IT, BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THIS WAS GOING TO BE SCULPTED IN A WAY THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T, WOULDN'T BE USABLE.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING HOW MUCH IS USABLE AND HOW MUCH ARE WE GIVING UP.

WE CAN GET, WE CAN CIRCLE BACK AND GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

YEAH. WE CAN DO A QUICK COMPARISON OF USABLE TODAY WITHOUT ANY EASEMENTS, THE USABLE PROPERTY TODAY, AND THEN ONCE THE APPROVAL OF THE EASEMENT, WHAT WOULD BE THE NET VALUE OF USABLE PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE THERE.

WE CAN GAIN THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

MS. GRIFFIN. YES.

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW INTERNALLY, HAVE YOU ALL MET AS A TEAM WITH DR.

LOPEZ? MR. DODDS AND DISCUSSED THE PROS AND CONS OF THIS.

I MEAN, I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR DR.

LOPEZ INPUT INTO THIS, BUT I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROCESS.

HAVE YOU ALL MET AS A TEAM TO DISCUSS THE PROS AND CONS, AND THEN DID YOU WANT TO HEAR WHAT WE HAD TO SAY AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BRING US WHAT Y'ALL'S RECOMMENDATION IS.

I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ARE YOU'RE TAKING THE COMMENTS HERE FOR YOU ALL TO HAVE A TEAM MEETING AND DISCUSS IT? GOOD QUESTION, MISS GRIFFIN.

TRUSTEE GRIFFIN.

YES. WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS IN OUR FACILITIES MEETING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.

WE MEET ONCE A WEEK WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT.

THIS WAS A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION WITH DR.

LOPEZ AND THE ADMINISTRATION, AND WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU TODAY.

SO, YES.

SO ARE THERE TIME CONSTRAINTS ON WHEN WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE? WELL, I'M ASSUMING THAT FROM LISTENING, YOU ALL Y'ALL NEED TO TAKE THIS BACK TO YOUR TEAM AND RE-MEET AND GET INFORMATION, SO I WILL I WILL CONTACT.

YES, MA'AM. I WILL CONTACT THE CITY OF GARLAND AND GET THE INFORMATION REQUESTED BY THE TRUSTEES, AND THEN I WILL BE BRINGING THAT BACK TO DR.

LOPEZ AND MR. DODDS, AND WE WILL GET YOU THE INFORMATION AS SOON AS WE CAN, BUT THERE IS A TIME CONSTRAINT.

THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER'S WAITING FOR US TO APPROVE THIS, AND THE REASON I ASK THAT, AND WHY I WANTED US TO DISCUSS IT, IS BECAUSE THEN THEY KNEW IT WAS ON THIS AGENDA.

IT'S A PUBLIC AGENDA, AND SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE WAITING.

WHAT DID THEY DECIDE? SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROPER WORDS THAT WE ARE SENDING IT BACK FOR MORE INFORMATION, MORE REVIEW, BRINGING IT BACK FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

I JUST THINK WE HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT OF OUR INTENT, SINCE THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHANGE AND LOOK AT IT.

I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE A GO BACK TO AN ACTION ITEM FOR NEXT BOARD MEETING.

THAT WAY WE CAN DISCUSS IT AND IT WON'T BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

IT WILL BE AN ACTION ITEM WHERE WE CAN DISCUSS IT ONCE WE GET THE INFORMATION AND POST IT IN THE AGENDA.

OKAY, WE ONLY NEED IT AS AN ACTION ITEM.

IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ACTION, WE DON'T NEED IT IF WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS INFORMATION OR POSSIBILITIES.

[00:55:05]

WHAT WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP? WHAT ARE WE DOING.

ALL RIGHT. IF YOU WANT IT AS A DISCUSSION ITEM THAT I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT THE CITY IS WANTING, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE IT JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE WANTING, BUT I'M JUST.

OKAY. SO THEY WANT IT AS AN ACTION ITEM.

SO IF WE IF YOU BRING IT BACK TO US, THEY WANT AN OFFICIAL VOTE FROM US THAT WE EITHER APPROVED OR DID NOT APPROVE.

THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. JUST WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, AND JUST SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, ONCE WE GET THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, I'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION.

SO IF IT COMES TO US PRIOR TO OUR BOARD MEETING, IT'S PART OF THE PACKAGE THAT WE CAN STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE RAMIFICATION OF IT.

IF THEY'RE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS IN THE PACKET THAT IS PRESENTED, THEN I PERSONALLY WOULD BE ABLE TO DECIDE ON AT THAT POINT.

YEAH, MY DEAL THOUGH WAS I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER THEY WANTED AN OFFICIAL VOTE, REGARDLESS OF WHEN WE GET THE INFORMATION AND HOW WE RECEIVE, YOU KNOW.

THANK YOU. SO IN GENERAL, I THINK ANYBODY WHO'S DRIVEN DOWN BRAND CELEBRATES WIDENING THAT ROAD.

SO IT'S REALLY A GOOD THING.

IT'S JUST WE GOT TO EVALUATE HOW IT IMPACTS THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO MY GOAL IS TO GET THE INFORMATION FROM THE CITY, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND MR. DODDS, IT WOULD BE SUBMITTED TO YOU ALL, MAYBE ON A BOARD INSIGHT INFORMATION.

SO YOU ALL HAVE THE INFORMATION WAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT MEETING.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION.

I BELIEVE, MISS STANLEY.

SO IF THERE ARE GOING TO BE WIDENING THE ROAD, WOULDN'T IT BE MORE THAN AN EASEMENT BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T GET THAT PROPERTY BACK? CORRECT. I MEAN, THAT'S THERE'S FOR.

WELL, AS MR. JAVIER STATED, THE PROPERTY WOULD STILL BELONG TO US, BUT IT WOULD BE PART OF THE ROAD, BUT THEN WOULD WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN WHATEVER THEY DO TO THIS? NO, THAT WOULD BE THEY WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR STREETS DEPARTMENT TO MAINTAIN AND MAINTAIN THAT.

YES, MA'AM. OKAY, AND THEN JUST FOR ME, I WANT TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY'S ASKED, BUT I'M STRUGGLING WITH HOW IT'S GOING TO HELP ANY FUTURE DEVELOPER TO PUT ROUNDABOUTS THERE.

I SEE THAT AS NOT A FUTURE ENHANCEMENT BUT AS A DETERRENT.

SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT EXPLAINED TO ME A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE NO COMMUNITY LIKES THOSE ROUNDABOUTS.

SO WHAT IS THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO ROUNDABOUTS ARE GOING TO ENHANCE? SO THOSE ARE JUST THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO THINK TO MYSELF BEFORE I VOTE.

OKAY. SO THERE'S SOME TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

I THINK THE NEXT MAP WE SEE SHOULD HAVE THE ROUNDABOUTS DRAWN ON THEM.

SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT STREETS THEY FEED.

IF THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THEM IN THERE, WE'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AND THEN THE MAIN QUESTION FOR THE CITY IS, OF COURSE, ANYTIME WE OR SOMEBODY WANTED TO DEVELOP THIS, THE, YOU KNOW, THE HOW IS IT GOING TO IMPACT OUR PROPERTY.

YEAH, WHERE WILL THEY ALLOW US TO GO IN AND OUT OF THIS PROPERTY ONCE IT COMES TO ZONING OR GETTING PERMISSION TO DO THAT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE IMPACTED? WHAT IS THEIR RECOMMENDATION ABOUT WHERE WE WOULD GET IN AND OUT OF THE PROPERTY IF WE EVER USE IT, OR IF SOMEBODY BUYS IT, WANTS TO USE IT? I THINK WE GOT TO KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK.

BEFORE WE START DOING SLOPE EASEMENTS OR WHATEVER THAT THING IS.

SO OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, THE PROJECT, YOU KNOW, I'M HAPPY TO SEE IT IMPROVED.

IT'S BEEN THAT ROAD'S NEEDED WORK FOR A LONG TIME, SO.

MR. GLICK. YEAH.

THANK YOU SIR. AS YOU REMEMBER MANY YEARS AGO YOURSELF, MR. BEACH AND I TOOK A TOUR OF OUR UNOCCUPIED SITES IN THE DISTRICT, AND BY FAR MY PERSONAL OPINION, THIS PROPERTY IS THE MOST VALUABLE PER ACRE OF ANY PROPERTY WE OWN.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING CLOSE TO IT THAT IS CORRECT, AND SO, AGAIN, ALL THE MATERIAL WE ASKED FOR, AND I THINK IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AND I WAS ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, I GAVE EVERYBODY THAT OLD APPRAISAL THAT WE GOT WAY BACK WHEN WE WERE CONSIDERING USING THE PROPERTY.

LIKE I SAID, I'M SURE THAT'S GONE UP CONSIDERABLY SINCE THEN BECAUSE OF ALL THE ACTIVITY ON THE SERVICE ROAD THERE.

SO I THINK IT BEHOOVES US TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING A DECISION WHETHER WE END UP USING THAT PROPERTY OR SELLING IT.

THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.

VERY GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU BOARD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS.

THAT WILL TAKE US TO NEW BIDS.

[01:00:01]

JAVIER FERNANDEZ. THE FIRST ONE IS CONTRACT 49923-04.3.

CONSIDER APPROVAL FOR CONTRACTOR FOR MULTI-CAMPUS TRACK REPLACEMENT AT WILLIAMS STADIUM, AND SCOREBOARD REPLACEMENT FOR NAAMAN FOREST, ROWLETT AND SACHSE.

GO AHEAD, JAVIER. THANK YOU.

COMMITTEE CHAIR TRUSTEE MILLER.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD DR.

LOPEZ, HERE TONIGHT TO BRING TO YOU A RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS IS PART THREE OF A PROJECT THAT WAS THE BOARD HAS APPROVED SOME TIME BACK, AND THE PART THREE PORTION OF THIS IS THE FINALIZATION OF THE TRACK REPLACEMENT AT WILLIAMS STADIUM AND SCOREBOARD REPLACEMENTS.

THESE ARE FOOTBALL FIELD SCOREBOARD REPLACEMENTS AT NAAMAN FOREST ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL AND SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS IS ALL PART OF A MUCH BROADER PROJECT THAT IS ENCOMPASSED WHICH THOSE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED ENCOMPASS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TURF AT B.J.

WILLIAMS STADIUM, ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL, SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL, AND NAAMAN FOREST, AND JUST HERE RECENTLY WE'VE COMPLETED AS PART OF PART TWO, THE FIELD REPLACEMENT AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.

ALL OF THAT IS CONSIDERED PART OF THIS ONE PROJECT, SO THE PROJECT ITSELF WAS BROKEN UP INTO THREE PARTS SO THAT WE COULD THEN GET SPECIFIC PIECES DONE WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIMES SLOTTED WITHIN THE CALENDAR THAT WE COULD GET DONE.

THIS HERE AGAIN IS FOR THE TRACK REPLACEMENT AT WILLIAMS STADIUM AND THEN SCOREBOARD REPLACEMENTS, FOOTBALL FIELDS AT NAAMAN FOREST, ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL AND SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL. THE CONTRACTOR FOR THIS IS HELLAS CONSTRUCTION THAT THE DISTRICT THE ADMINISTRATION IS RECOMMENDING, AND WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMITTEE MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. I'M SORRY.

FERNANDEZ. MR. JOHNSON.

MR. FERNANDEZ, WHEN WAS THE TRACK LAST REPLACED AT WILLIAMS STADIUM? THE TRACK WAS REPLACED.

GOOD QUESTION.

IT WAS. IT'S BEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN A TRUSTEE BECAUSE I REMEMBER VOTING ON IT.

YEAH, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S THAT OLD.

IT IS, I BELIEVE.

WELL, IT IS BETWEEN 12 TO 14 YEARS, I BELIEVE.

SOMEWHERE AROUND IN THERE. I MEAN, I'M BEGINNING MY THIRD TERM, AND THAT MEANS THIS IS YEAR FIVE.

I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD BECAUSE I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY AS PUTTING THE NEW TRACK IN AT WILLIAMS STADIUM.

WELL, IT WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO ME GETTING HERE AND I GOT HERE IN 18.

I THINK. WHAT OTHER TRACK DID WE REPLACE? NORTH GARLAND. NO, WE HAVEN'T REPLACED THAT TRACK.

WE DID SOMETHING AT SOUTH.

WE DID DO EXCUSE ME.

WE DID DO TRACK REPAIRS.

SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, WE HAVE DONE TRACK REPLACEMENTS AT ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL, SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL, NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL. THOSE TRACKS WERE REPLACED HERE RECENTLY.

I MEAN, THE ONE AT WILLIAMS WAS.

IT'S BEEN THERE.

IT'S BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE.

IT HASN'T BEEN RESURFACED AT ALL.

NO, SIR. NO, SIR.

NOT AT WILLIAMS. I MEAN, WE HAVE SOME COLLECTIVE MEMORY.

IT'S LIKE THE. WHAT IS. WHAT IS THE MANDELA EFFECT GOING ON HERE? BECAUSE I'M HEARING MULTIPLE PEOPLE SAYING.

YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT TOO, AND I REMEMBER THAT TOO.

I CAN. WHY DON'T WE FIND OUT FOR SURE? YEAH. YEAH, I CAN GET YOU.

I CAN GET YOU THE EXACT DATE FOR THAT TRACK REPLACEMENT FOR WILLIAMS THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPLACED, BUT IT IS.

I WILL TELL YOU THIS, IN LOOKING AT THAT TRACK, IT DOES HAVE IT IS AT ITS, IT'S ITS END OF LIFE.

IT HAS SOME PRETTY, PRETTY BIG GASHES IN IT FROM THE USE OF IT.

YEAH I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR CYCLE IS.

WANT TO HAVE A REGULAR ROUTINE REPAIR REPLACEMENT CYCLE ABSENT SOME, YOU KNOW, ACUTE OR CATASTROPHIC EVENT, AND SO LIKE I SAID JUST SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW LONG WE RUN WITH IT.

THANK YOU. I CAN SHARE WITH YOU TRACK REPLACEMENTS IN GENERAL.

TRACK REPLACEMENTS.

HOW DO I SAY THIS? HOW DO I SAY THIS? REPAIRING THE MAINTAINING OF A TRACK.

[01:05:03]

WHETHER IT'S AT A STADIUM OR IS AT A HIGH SCHOOL, IT IS A CONSTANT COST AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DISTRICTS, UNIVERSITIES, ALL THOSE WHO OWN TRACKS ABSORB THAT COST TRACKS.

WHILE MANUFACTURERS MAY TELL YOU THAT'S A TEN YEAR OLD TRACK.

A LOT OF IT IS BASED UPON THE USE OF THAT TRACK AND WHAT RUNS ACROSS THAT TRACK.

THERE ARE TRACKS THAT ARE REPLACED FOUR YEARS IN THEIR TRACKS ARE REPLACED FIVE YEARS IN.

TRACKS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT THAT THEY TAKE IN AN ABSORBENT AMOUNT OF HEAT ON THESE TRACKS AND THEY CRACK.

SO THEY'RE NOT AS SIMPLE AS DOING A FIELD TURF, AND I'VE GOT TEN YEARS AND I CAN I CAN BRUSH IT.

I CAN KEEP MAINTAINING IT.

THERE'S NOT MUCH TO MAINTAIN ON A TRACK.

IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND WHEN IT STARTS TO DRY UP, IT STARTS TO CRACK, AND SO THE UNFORTUNATE PART ABOUT A TRACK IS IF YOU OWN A TRACK, YOU CAN ANTICIPATE SPENDING MONEY TO MAINTAIN THAT TRACK.

I HEARD ONCE I'M NOT SURE SOMEBODY TOLD ME THE EXPECTED LIFE ON THESE TRACKS.

THE WAY WE USE THEM IS ABOUT 7 OR 8 YEARS.

YES, SIR THAT IS IF YOU WILLIAMS STADIUM PROBABLY GETS USED MORE THAN ANY OF THEM BECAUSE YOU GOT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT GO SOME YEAR ROUND.

YES, SIR. I CAN GET YOU THE ACTUAL DATE OF THE LAST TIME THE TRACK WAS, WAS A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE TRACKS OR THE SCOREBOARDS? WE'RE GOING TO GO TO SIX B, CONTRACT NUMBER 16-25.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING, ADVISORY AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

MR. BOOKER, WELCOME.

YES, SIR. TO MR. MILLER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO DR.

LOPEZ, WE DO HAVE BEFORE YOU FOR CONSIDERATION APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING CONSULTANT WHO WOULD GUIDE THE DISTRICT THROUGH ITS SELECTION PROCESS FOR A NEW ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM.

THE DISTRICT IS RECOMMENDING PLANTE MORAN TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES.

IT IS A ONE YEAR CONTRACT WITH TWO ANNUALLY RENEWABLE OPTIONS.

YOU'LL SEE THAT THE NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT IS $300,000, 30% OF THAT OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AND 70% E-RATE FUNDED.

ONCE AGAIN, THAT IS THE CONSULTING SERVICES THAT WE WOULD BE PROVIDING THROUGH THE ERP RESOURCE PLANNING PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? YES, MA'AM. MISS STANLEY.

SO WITH THE THREE YEAR RENEWAL WHAT DO WE THINK? SO TO REPLACE OUR ERP SYSTEM.

TO CHANGE OUR SYSTEM, THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

SO WHAT DO WE THINK THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS GOING TO TAKE.

DO WE THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE TWO THREE YEARS ONE YEAR.

THE STANDARD CONTRACT IS A ONE YEAR WITH TWO ANNUALLY RENEWABLE OPTIONS.

I GUESS MR. YEAGER OR MR. GENOVESE COULD GIVE YOU THE EXACT THE EXACT SCOPE OF WORK THAT THEY'RE ANTICIPATING FOR THIS CONSULTANT.

EXCUSE ME, MR. MILLER.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES. DR.

LOPEZ. MISS STANLEY, THIS IS REALLY KIND OF THE FIRST PHASE.

SO IT'S LIKE THE NEXT SIX MONTHS IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE WHAT WE WANT IN A NEW SYSTEM, AND SO THIS IS KIND OF THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE.

SO WITH THEIR ENGAGEMENT WE'RE NOT EXPECTING TO GO FURTHER PAST A YEAR TO GET THIS GOING.

WE'RE JUST KIND OF THIS IS THE START, BUT WE HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE JUST IN CASE WE HAVE SOME ROLLOVER STUFF.

WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK FOR YOU.

OKAY. THAT MAKES SENSE. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY.

SO, MATT, ARE YOU SAYING THAT SOMEONE THIS COMPANY IS GOING TO BE GIVING YOU ADVICE ON THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO TAKE IT, OR I MEAN, I DON'T EXPLAIN THAT.

EXPLAIN THAT PROVIDES THE RESOURCES.

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, STRATEGIC PLANNING, THERE'S GOING TO BE ALL OF YOUR TEAM INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS.

SO THIS IS SO OUR ERP SYSTEM CURRENTLY IS ORACLE, AND SO EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT, WE'RE HAVING A STEERING COMMITTEE DONE INTERNALLY WITH EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT LEAD.

SO FINANCE, BUDGET, H.R., PURCHASING, PAYROLL, ALL THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE IN THE COMMITTEE AND WE MEET WITH THEM AND WE TALK ABOUT OUR NEEDS, AND SO WE TALK ABOUT WHAT PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE GOING FORWARD.

THEY BRING ALL THIS DATA IN AND THEN THEY COME OUT WITH HERE'S SOME KEY POINTS THAT WE WANT TO DO ONCE WE GO OUT FOR RFP.

THESE ARE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN A NEW SYSTEM.

DO THEY MEET THE NEEDS OF GARLAND ISD, AND THEN ONCE WE DO THE ERP SYSTEM, THEN WHEN THE VENDORS APPROVE, WE'RE DOING CHECKS BASICALLY WHEN WE'RE SAYING THIS IS WHY THEY MEET, THIS IS WHY WE'RE CHOOSING THIS VENDOR IN THE LONG RUN, AND THEN WE START THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE TO ACTUALLY CONVERT.

[01:10:05]

DO YOU DO IT I MEAN IS IT A SNOWBALL EFFECT? YOU DO IT ALL AT ONCE OR IS IT SOMETHING? I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY EXPENSIVE, YOU KNOW.

SO WHAT? HOW DO YOU PRIORITIZE WHAT IS FIRST OR SECOND THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT FIRST TO REALLY IMPROVE ON AND THAT'S PART OF OUR INTERNAL COMMITTEE WHEN WE DO THAT ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO THE NEXT PRIORITIZATION ABOUT WHEN THE IMPLEMENTATION IS GOING TO AFFECT B ECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE TO LOOK AT FISCAL YEAR, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT AUDITING.

THERE'S A LOT OF FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

YOU CAN'T JUST THROW A NEW ERP SYSTEM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

YOU HAVE TO PLAN IT OUT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE DONE IN PHASES LIKE HR MAY GO, THEN FINANCE MAY GO, YOU KNOW, AND SO WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE PHASES, AND THAT COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 18 AND 24 TO 30 SOMETHING MONTHS AS A FULL IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS TO ACTUALLY FULLY IMPLEMENT AN ENTIRE SYSTEM OF OUR ERP SYSTEM.

SO IT COULD IT'S MOST LIKELY GOING TO TAKE THAT LONG TO IMPLEMENT.

OKAY. MR. GRIFFIN. OKAY.

IT SAYS CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF, BUT WHAT YOU HAVE DESCRIBED IS THE PROCESS FOR US TO SEEK OUR SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN OF A SYSTEM BY GETTING ALL OF OUR TEAMS TOGETHER.

SO ARE WE PURCHASING THE PROCESS TO DEFINE THE SYSTEM THAT WE WANT TO DESIGN, OR ARE WE ACTUALLY PURCHASING A PIECE OF SOFTWARE? RIGHT. BECAUSE I THINK THE WORDING IS CONFUSING.

SO IF THIS IS A CONSULTANT OR A FIRM TO HELP US DEVELOP AND DESIGN OUR SYSTEM, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO BE SAYING HERE AND NOT A PURCHASE OF A STUDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BECAUSE THAT SAYS TO ME, AND IF I'M WRONG, CORRECT ME.

THAT SAYS TO ME THAT YOU ALL HAVE GONE AND ALREADY LOOKED AT A SYSTEM, AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL.

IF YOU ARE PURCHASING SOMETHING TO HELP US DESIGN OUR FUTURE SYSTEM FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

I'M PLAYING WITH WORDS, BUT I'M DOING IT DELIBERATELY BECAUSE YOU CAN TAKE THIS SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS.

LET ME PITCH IN REAL QUICK.

JUST ME READING IT.

WHEN I GET TO THE LAST WORD, IT SAYS SERVICES.

IT DOESN'T SAY SYSTEM.

THIS COMPANY HAS A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WHO ARE WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH OUR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE HVAC WORK ORDERS THAT WE HAVE IN THE DISTRICT.

THOSE ARE THE CONTRACTS WE HAVE BEFORE YOU.

YES. YES, SIR. MR. BEACH, CAN YOU GET, PAUL CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE US A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT TD INDUSTRIES OR WHAT KIND OF COMPANY THEY ARE, AND HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN BUSINESS AND THAT TYPE OF

[01:25:01]

YOU'VE SEEN THEIR CONTRACTS IN THE PAST.

THEY WERE STRICTLY CONTROLS.

THEY ALSO HAVE A FACILITY SERVICE DIVISION IN THEIR ORGANIZATION THAT HANDLES HVAC, THE MECHANICAL REPAIRS FOR THE SYSTEMS. WELL, THIS YEAR, THIS YEAR, I BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION TO MR. DODDS AND THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT WE WEREN'T GETTING QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS TO MAKE OUR REPAIRS TO OUR SYSTEMS, AND WE WERE LOSING EMPLOYEES A LOT OF WE LOST ABOUT 75% OF OUR EMPLOYEES OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN HERE DUE TO RETIREMENT.

YOU KNOW, THEY GOT TO A CERTAIN AGE, THEY RETIRED, AND THEN THE TECHNICIANS THAT WE WERE BRINGING ON DIDN'T HAVE THE SKILL SET TO MAKE REPAIRS, SO WE WERE DOING A LOT OF REWORK.

THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK ORDERS THAT WERE NOT GETTING DONE.

SO THIS YEAR WE DECIDED THE VACANCIES THAT WE HAD, WE DECIDED TO DO AN OUTSOURCE PROGRAM.

I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS SCHOOL YEAR WAS PROBABLY THE BEST SCHOOL YEAR THAT I'VE HAD SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR HVAC.

YES, WE DID HAVE CALLS, BUT I WANT TO SAY IT WAS VERY POSITIVE AND I KNEW I KNEW WHERE OUR PROBLEMS ARE.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THEY ARE DOING OUR HVAC SERVICE CURRENTLY.

PERFECT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, ONE THING I DID.

MR. GLICK. I SPOKE TOO EARLY.

YEAH. THANK YOU SIR.

ITEM THREE WAY BACK.

ITEM. LET'S SEE, THERE'S A LOT OF THREES 4B3, BUDGET TRANSFERS AND AMENDMENTS, AND THIS GOES BACK TO OUR OWN PAGE 83 WHEN MISS CORDOVA PRESENTED THIS REPORT, SHE INDICATED THAT BUDGET TRANSFER WAS FINE ARTS.

COULD WE GET THE NUMBER FOR YEAR ONE? I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER SEEN THAT.

SHE PRESENTED THE NUMBER OF THE TRANSFER FOR YEAR TWO.

SO IT WAS I DON'T NEED IT TODAY, BUT IN THE FUTURE OR MAYBE A REPORT FOR US.

COULD WE GET YEAR ONE? YEAH, ON YEAR ONE WE ACTUALLY DOUBLED THAT AND IT WAS LIKE IT WAS 3,150,000.

I'LL GET THAT NUMBER.

SO TO GO AHEAD AND GET THEM STARTED WHERE THEY COULD GET THEIR DEAL, AND THEN ANNUALLY IT WAS REALLY 1.5 MILLION.

YEAH. WE AGREED THAT THE FIRST YEAR WOULD BE DOUBLE.

SO THAT. DID TAKE PLACE.

YES. OKAY. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ONE THING I DID IS I SKIPPED THE SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO TURN OVER THE FLOOR TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT, DR.

[III. Superintendent's Message]

THANK YOU. BEFORE WE CLOSE, I WANT US TO GO BACK TO ITEM FIVE ON THE DISCUSSION THERE.

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS GET YOU ALL THE INFORMATION RATHER THAN BRING THE CITY IN TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

THE REASONING BEHIND A LOT OF THAT IS GOING TO BE THE CITY DOES A LOT OF THINGS FOR US.

I MEAN, CONSTANTLY, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE BOND PROJECTS, AND NEVER ONCE DO THEY SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? BRING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN, BRING THE SCHOOL.

THEY'VE BEEN TREMENDOUS PARTNERS.

I THINK IF WE CAN GET SOME PICTURES ON THE EASEMENTS AND SHOW YOU WHAT'S EXACTLY NEEDED TO BE DONE.

THEY VERY RARELY ASK FOR US TO DO THINGS IN THIS PARTNERSHIP.

THIS IS MORE OF A NECESSITY THAN ANYTHING ELSE, AND IF I COULD GET YOU YOUR QUESTIONS, WILL THE BOARD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? YEAH. I THINK THE WAY WE LEFT IT, DR.

LOPEZ, WITH THIS PARTICULAR ONE, THEY WERE GOING TO GO BACK AND ASK THE CITY A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND TRY TO INCLUDE IT IN A BI OR SOME KIND OF INFORMATIVE PACKAGE.

FOR US, IT WILL BE PART OF THE AGENDA FOR OUR BOARD MEETING AND ANY NEW INFORMATION WILL BE PART OF THAT PACKAGE, AND SO IT CAN BE DISCUSSED AND DECIDED AT AT THE BOARD MEETING, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY REASON TO CALL THE CITY INTO THIS GROUP.

YEAH. I WAS JUST MAKING CLEAR.

YEAH. OKAY.

GOOD, GOOD.

WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT JUST IN CASE IT WAS A TOPIC OF NO, NO, NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

VERY FAIR. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

OKAY, AND MICHELLE, WE DON'T HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION TODAY, DO WE? SO NO EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE END OF AGENDA.

IT IS 4:32.

[VI. Adjournment]

SO MOVED. THANK YOU.

WE'RE ADJOURNED AT 4:32.
