DOCTOR LOPEZ. THAT LEADS US TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR, INFORMATION ITEM.
[IV.A. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Program Summary Update – Javier Fernandez]
ITEM A RECEIVED PRESENTATION OF THE BOND 2023 PROGRAM SUMMARY UPDATE.MR. FERNANDEZ, THANK YOU. PRESIDENT BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
DOCTOR LOPEZ, HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR OCTOBER UPDATE FOR THE 2023 BOND PROGRAM.
AGAIN, THIS IS A REMINDER OF THE PROGRAM ITSELF.
IT'S GOT THREE PROPOSITIONS AT 1.279 BILLION WITH THE COMMUNITY AUTHORIZED.
AGAIN, THIS IS A SUMMARY. THIS IS A FIVE PHASE BOND PROGRAM, THOUGH THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE, AND THERE'S ADDITIONAL WORK THAT IS FORTHCOMING ON PHASE ONE BIT PACK ONE.
AND WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING SOME TRAINING FOR THEM THIS WEEK AS WELL.
SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO MARK THAT AS COMPLETE. THE PART THREE IF YOU DRIVE BY THAT AREA, THE RECORDS BUILDING AND THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, THOSE HAVE BEEN DEMOED, REMOVED. AND WE ARE JUST WAITING ON THE MOVING OF STUDENT SERVICES, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 7TH, SO WE CAN START THE DEMOLITION OF THAT FACILITY AS WELL.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE DEMOLITION THAT IS OCCURRING IN THAT CORNER SECTION THERE.
OUR SLIDES HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT'S GOING ON.
WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A FRAMEWORK OF THE CAMPUS, THE TYPE OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE, AND THEN GIVE YOU A PERCENTAGE OF WHERE IT'S AT TO BE COMPLETE, SO THAT YOU HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK THAT TAKES PLACE THERE.
AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THESE BUILDINGS, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THESE CATEGORIES WILL FALL OFF AS THEY COMPLETE, AND THEN OTHER CATEGORIES WILL BE ADDED AS, AS THEY START.
SO IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE AT ON EACH SPECIFIC CAMPUS.
A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE ON THIS PROJECT HERE.
THESE ARE SOME AERIAL PHOTOS THAT YOU SEE OF THE CAMPUSES.
THAT IS GOING TO BE LOCATED AT THE WILLIAMS STADIUM SITE.
THIS IS A FANTASTIC FACILITY. VERY PROMINENT.
RIGHT OFF OF RAYMOND ROAD. SO IT'S MAKING GREAT PROGRESS ON THAT FACILITY.
IT IS SITUATED JUST ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FIELDHOUSE FROM THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
[00:05:01]
SO THE FREEMAN ELEMENTARY, AGAIN, CONTINUING THE WAY WE'VE STRUCTURED THE PRESENTATION, YOU CAN SEE FREEMAN, THE SITE WORK, THE WORK THAT'S BEEN COMPLETE THERE AND THE UTILITIES WORK, THE PERCENTAGE OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE, THE UNDERGROUND BUILDING UTILITIES, THE FOUNDATION WORK AND THE STRUCTURAL STEEL.YOU CAN SEE STRUCTURAL STEEL IS ZERO SINCE THERE'S NOTHING TO TAKE PLACE THERE AT THIS TIME.
JAVIER, CAN I INTERRUPT YOU FOR JUST A MINUTE? YES, SIR. PLEASE. WHILE WE'RE ON THE MAX, THERE'S A QUESTION THAT I HAVE CONCERNING, NOT CONCERNING, BUT JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE ONE AT WILLIAMS STADIUM AND WHERE THE METAL BUILDINGS ARE STILL THERE, WHERE THE WEIGHT ROOMS AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS ARE.
IS THAT CORRECT? THE FACILITY ITSELF WILL NOT.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE YELLOW THERE. THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE GRAY BEAMS THAT ARE BEING APPLIED THAT, THOSE TWO FACILITIES THAT ARE THERE. THAT'S A THE LOCKER ROOM FOR WILLIAMS STADIUM AND THE WEIGHT ROOM FOR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.
WE ARE WORKING WITH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. AS A MATTER OF FACT THERE'S THREE CAMPUSES THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, AND NAAMAN FOREST TO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXISTING FACILITIES OR THEIR EXISTING FIELD HOUSES.
THE WORK THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS WORK AND MAKING SOME TEMPORARY LOCATIONS FOR THOSE PROGRAMS. SO WE'RE WORKING SPECIFICALLY FOR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.
SO YOU KEEP US UPDATED BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT CONCERN THAT I HEARD HAVE BEEN TALKED TO YOU ABOUT WAS THE WEIGHT ROOM AT GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL IS THERE, AND WITH IT BEING RAISED WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE THAT.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CORPS SAID THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH YOU GUYS AS FAR AS HELPING THEM MOVE THAT OVER INTO THE OTHER FACILITY ACROSS THERE. IS THAT IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT. SO WE ARE WORKING WITH NOT ONLY ARE WE WORKING WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CORPS CONSTRUCTION WE ALSO HAVE EXISTING CONTRACTS WITH MOVING FIRMS WHERE WE WILL BE MOVING THE ITEMS THAT ARE WITHIN THESE TWO FACILITIES OVER INTO THE THE ADJACENT FACILITIES THAT YOU SEE THERE. WE'VE WORKED WITH THE CAMPUS PRINCIPAL, THE COACHES, AND WE'VE GOT A GAME PLAN ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS AND THE PROGRAMS WITHIN THAT WHILE THE BUILDING IS BEING BUILT.
WELL, THE ONLY REASON I'M BRINGING THAT UP IS BECAUSE I'M AN OLD COACH AND.
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WEIGHT, THE OFF SEASON WEIGHT TRAINING IS PHENOMENAL AND THE KIDS, THEY NEED TO HAVE THAT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE IN PLACE FOR ALL THE SCHOOLS, THAT THEY HAVE THEIR WEIGHT FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO THEM SO THAT THEY'RE THEY DON'T GO INTO THE SPRING WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WEIGHT FACILITIES.
WE ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTAND THAT, SIR, AND COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. THANK YOU. THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US, AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE WORKING TO CREATE A A TEMPORARY LOCATION FOR THEM WHILE THAT FACILITY GETS CONSTRUCTED.
SO WE WE ARE ACTUALLY THE WEIGHT ROOM IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE IN THE THE ADJACENT BUILDING.
THE ORIGINAL WEIGHT ROOM IS ACTUALLY IN THAT BUILDING.
AND SO WE ARE ADDRESSING THAT, SIR. THANK YOU.
IT'S A BIG SITE. A LOT OF CLEARING THAT TOOK PLACE THERE.
KIMBERLIN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE. AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE CLEARING OF THE GRADING IS 100%.
STILL GOT MOISTURE CONDITIONING TO DO. AS YOU CAN SEE, SOME OF THE SITE WORK, THE SITE UTILITIES WORK UNDERGROUND BUILDING UTILITIES, THE FOUNDATION WORK AND THEN THE STRUCTURAL. SO A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE.
AND SO YOU'LL GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE WE ARE ACTUALLY AT FROM A CONSTRUCTION STANDPOINT, THINGS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE THERE. THIS IS A SITE PHOTO OF THE KIMBERLIN ACADEMY SITE.
LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL AND NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN, THE SITE WORK SITE UTILITIES, UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AND THE FOUNDATION WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.
NAAMAN FOREST. THE WORK, THE PERCENTAGE OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.
WE ANTICIPATE STARTING LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL SITE WORK, WHICH STARTED MID THIS MONTH.
[00:10:02]
AND YOU CAN SEE THE UPDATES THAT WE HAVE THERE FOR THE NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL.THIS IS THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL.
AND SO NOW THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE HAVE A QUESTION.
YES, SIR. MS STANLEY. YES. BACK TO LAKEVIEW AS WE ARE DOING THE NEW FRONT.
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT? THE SEAL THAT WAS IN THE FLOOR THAT WAS GIVEN BY THE, I THINK IT'S A 1979 ALMA MATERS. IT'S THE BRICK WORK WITH THE LOGO AND STUFF THAT WAS IN THE FLOOR.
IS THAT BEING MOVED OR WAS IT JUST GOTTEN RID OF? THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. CAN YOU. WHERE IS THAT LOCATED AGAIN? WELL, IT WAS IN THE ENTRY. AT THE ENTRY. YEAH.
YEAH. RIGHT WHERE ALL THE FLAGS ARE. YES. IN FRONT OF THE AUDITORIUM.
YEAH. AND IT'S. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING AT THIS MOMENT.
BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A GAME PLAN FOR THAT.
OKAY. SO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THE CHART THAT YOU SEE THERE DOES NOT ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE 39 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
AM I GETTING A SCHOOL? AM I GETTING A PLAYGROUND? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW ON ON THE CHART. SO THE CHART ONLY SHOWS THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE NOW.
THERE'S A TOTAL OF 39 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ARE GOING TO GOING TO GET TWO PLAYGROUNDS.
AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGE OF WORK THAT'S COMPLETED BY THOSE THE DEMOLITION, THE GRADING AND INSTALLING THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT SURFACES AND THEN THE FINISHING OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF PROGRESS THAT'S TAKING PLACE ON THIS PROJECT AS WELL.
SO WE'RE ABOUT TO COMMENCE OUR FENCING PROJECT FOR ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES.
WE'VE GOT A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS WITH THE CAMPUS ADMINISTRATORS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE, AND SO WE'RE READY TO GET THAT PROJECT STARTED.
AGAIN. WE PRESENTED TO YOU BROUGHT SOME SAMPLES THE LAST TIME WE MET.
AND THIS IS JUST A DESIGN OF WHAT THE FENCING PRODUCT WILL LOOK LIKE.
THE SCOPE AND THE SCOPE CATEGORIES FOR EACH ONE OF THESE, THAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
SO THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT HAS TO HAPPEN FOR EACH SPECIFIC CAMPUS.
YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGES THAT ARE DONE THERE.
SO I WANT TO JUST TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. CAN I ASK A REAL QUICK QUESTION AGAIN.
THE FENCING IS THAT TEMPERED PAINT ON THERE? WE WON'T HAVE TO GO.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTION FREE AS FAR AS PAINTING IS THAT WE WON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND PAINT THOSE IN THE FUTURE, WILL WE? NO, WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAINT THAT. THAT IS NOT A PRODUCT THAT'S PAINTED.
THAT IS A POWDER. IT'S A POWDER COATED FENCE.
OKAY. PERFECT. THAT'S NO. GOOD. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT.
I WAS GOING TO SAY POLY COATED, BUT IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT.
IT'S POWDER COATED. YES, SIR. YEAH. THANK YOU.
OKAY. SECURITY CAMERAS. YOU CAN SEE THAT. WE'RE JUST STARTING THAT OUT.
WE'VE GOT PARK REST THAT'S TAKING PLACE ON ARMSTRONG.
SO JUST GETTING THAT PROJECT OFF WITH THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.
HERE WE ARE WITH THE ACCESS CONTROL PORTION. BECAUSE THESE PROJECTS THEY'RE KIND OF ON THEIR OWN TIMELINES, THEY'RE NOT FOCUSING ON THE ACTUAL PROJECT TIMELINES.
OKAY, THE DOOR HARDWARE PROJECT WE ARE BASICALLY COMPLETE WITH THAT PROJECT.
WE'RE JUST WRAPPING UP. WE'RE IN THE FINISHED A LITTLE EARLIER THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED.
SO WE'RE WORKING ON THE CLOSEOUT PORTION OF THAT WITH ALL OF THE CAMPUSES.
THAT'S BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT FOR US.
AND SO WE'RE WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED THAT THAT WE CAN SAY THAT THAT PROJECT IS WINDING DOWN.
OKAY. OUR LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WE HAVE GMP NUMBER ONE.
WE'RE WE'VE RECEIVED THAT WE'VE GOT A DRAFT THAT WE'RE REVIEWING.
[00:15:04]
FOR THE GMP NUMBER ONE, THAT IS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF MONTCLAIR ELEMENTARY.CARSON-MULKEY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER. THAT ONE IS WE ARE.
IF YOU RECALL, WE APPROVED SOME EASEMENTS THE LAST LAST MONTH FOR SANITARY SEWER LINE THAT IS BEING PLACED ON THE PROPERTY. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO INTEGRATE THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING THERE WITH THAT SANITARY SEWER THAT'S THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL OPTIONS FOR US FOR THAT AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE FACILITY.
SOUTH GARLAND NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. WE CONTINUE TO MOVE ON WITH THAT PROJECT.
IT'S MOVING ALONG WELL. SHOULD BE SHOULD BE GOING INTO CD DRAWINGS HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.
AND ON OUR NORTH LAKE AND ROWLETT, WE'RE AT 50% CDS.
WE'RE REVIEWING THOSE. AND SO THAT ONE WILL BE MOVING ON PRETTY QUICK HERE.
SO FINALIZING THAT PIECE. SO ON COOPER HERFURTHD GIDEON STIDHAM ELEMENTARY.
THAT'S THE ROOF PACKAGE. THAT WORK IS NOW SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.
AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE CLOSEOUT OF THAT PROJECT.
AND SO WE'VE JUST GOT SOME DOCUMENTATION THAT WE'VE GOT TO FINALIZE ON CLOSING THAT PROJECT OUT.
WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND WE'VE VETTED OUT THE DESIGNS FOR THAT.
SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF FINE TUNING THAT WE'RE DOING REGARDING THE ACTUAL FENCE ITSELF.
OKAY. AND THIS IS THE INTRUSION ALARM. WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO HERE IS WE'VE GOT THREE CAMPUSES, BEAVER, GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, AND CARVER.
WHILE WE'RE SHOWING TWO DIFFERENT PHASES, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND COMBINE ALL THREE. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TRYING TO GET ALL THREE DONE RATHER THAN TO PHASE THESE OUT. SO IT'S JUST KIND OF A SHIFT IN PROGRAM THERE.
GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT PROJECT. AND OUR LOCAL AREA NETWORK.
THIS IS AN UPDATE FOR THAT. WE'VE OUR CLOSEOUTS IN PROGRESS FOR OUR HUB SITES.
AND YOU CAN SEE OUR METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK.
THAT'S THE EXISTING TECHNOLOGY CENTER. THAT'S NOT THE NEW ONE.
THAT EQUIPMENT IS GOING TO BE PROCURED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 27.
OKAY. SO SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND, LAKEVIEW.
THAT'S AN ATHLETIC PACKAGE. WE FINAL DOCUMENTS, WE DO FINAL CDS AT THE MID OF THIS MONTH.
OKAY. AUSTIN ACADEMY, THESE CAMPUSES HERE, THIS PROJECT IS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
I CAN SHARE WITH YOU ON THIS SPECIFIC CAMPUS.
THAT'S ALL SWITCHGEAR. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT SWITCHGEAR AND PUSH THAT OUT TO EXISTING CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THE DISTRICT, AND WE'LL HAVE THAT SWITCHGEAR PUSHED OUT AND SOLICITED AND AWARDED WITHIN THAT CONTRACT.
AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECTS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A CSP THAT WILL ONLY BE FOR THE FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.
OUR NEW TECHNOLOGY CENTER. OKAY. SO WE'VE GOT OUR SITE PACKAGE THAT WAS APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER, AND WE'VE GOT 90% DOCUMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DUE AT THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH.
AND SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH GETTING THE WORK DONE ON THAT ONE.
AND THIS IS PROP C, YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.
AND SO WELL WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO, SO WHAT WE'RE WANTING TO DO NOW IS WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND THIS IS THE END OF THE PRESENTATION, AND WE'RE TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE PRESENTATION.
[00:20:04]
WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU A PROGRESS VIDEO THAT WE'VE MADE TO HIGHLIGHT TWO OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU AT THIS TIME. AFTER WE RECEIVE QUESTIONS. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS MYSELF PERSONALLY FIRST, AND THEN WE'LL PASS IT AROUND. ON PAGE 34 ON THE AG FACILITY, WHEN WE WILL WE SEE THE DESIGN ON THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN WE SAW THE FIRST PRESENTATION THERE, WE THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THAT AS FAR AS A CATTLE GUARD BEING UP FRONT. SO THE CATTLE THEY GOT LOOSE, DIDN'T GET OUT ON THE MAIN STREET AND THAT TYPE OF THING.SO WE'RE GOING TO GET TO SEE A FULL PICTURE OF THE DESIGN BEFORE THAT PROJECT MOVES FORWARD.
IS THAT CORRECT? NOW WE'VE ACTUALLY BROUGHT SCHEMATIC DESIGN TO YOU AS PART OF OUR REGULAR PROCESS.
WE SHARED SCHEMATIC DESIGN WHAT THE OVERALL BUILDING LOOKS LIKE, THE INTERIOR, THE EXTERIOR.
BUT WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A BETTER OVERVIEW, IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT.
WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. I THINK THAT EVERYBODY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THAT. THAT'D BE GOOD. WE CAN WE CAN ABSOLUTELY BRING THAT BACK TO YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. ALSO ON PAGE 40 ON THE HVAC.
I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT THAT EVERY TIME WE TURN AROUND.
WHERE IS THE COMMAND CENTER FOR THE HVAC GOING TO BE LOCATED? IS IT GOING TO BE AT THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT? IS THERE GOING TO BE A COMMAND CENTER? SO THE HVAC, WHEN WE SAY COMMAND CENTER THERE REALLY ISN'T A COMMAND CENTER.
THERE'S MORE OF A SERVER. AND SO ALL OF OUR, ALL OF OUR DDC CONTROLS, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO TYPES OF DDC CONTROLS AND A ROUTE INTO OUR SERVERS THAT WE HOST THERE AT THE MARVIN PAGEANT BUILDING.
SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT. BUT EVERYTHING LINKS INTO THERE.
WE LOG ON TO THAT THROUGH OUR NETWORK. WE CAN ACTUALLY LOG ON REMOTELY AS WELL.
BUT WE, BUT THE BRAINS, IF YOU WILL, THAT THAT TALKS TO ALL OF THE OTHER WHAT WE CALL JACE, THE JACE'S THAT ARE OUT IN THE CAMPUSES. THE BRAINS SIT AT THE PAGEANT BUILDING.
WELL, IN SOME FORM OR FASHION SOMETIME DOWN THE LINE, AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, I'M SURE EVERYBODY ON THIS BOARD WOULD PROBABLY BE INTERESTED TO SEE THE STREAMLINE OF HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK.
AND I HATE THAT BECAUSE IT'S HOW IMPORTANT HVAC IS TO THE DISTRICT.
SO IF THERE'S SOME TIME, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ANY TIME, NOT TOMORROW, YOU KNOW.
BUT THE FURTHER WE GET INTO THE PROCESS, I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH WITH THE TIME, NOT THE TIMELINE, BUT BASICALLY THE STREAMLINE OF HOW IT'S GOING TO BE ADMINISTERED, HOW WHO'S GOING TO HAVE OVERSIGHT AND WHO IS GOING TO BE THE RUNNING THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM DOWN THERE, WATCHING EVERYTHING AND MAKING SURE IF THERE'S A BUG OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE? I THINK THAT THAT'D BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW.
ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN WE CAN ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. MILLER? YEAH. JUST REAL QUICK. THIS WILL BE QUICK AND EASY ON THE SECURITY SAFETY, SORRY.
THE SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH. DOES THAT INVOLVE ANY RELOCATION OR NEW CABLING OR ANYTHING? OR IS IT SIMPLY JUST PUTTING NEW CAMERAS UP WHERE THE OLD ONES ARE.
IT'S TWOFOLD. SO ONE, WE'RE REPLACING THE OLDER CAMERAS NOW.
IT'S TWO PIECES. WHEN WE SAY SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH, NOT ONLY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE CAMERA, BUT A LOT OF IT HAS TO ALSO HAS TO DO WITH THE SERVERS THAT ARE HOUSED AT THE CAMPUS.
SO WHILE WE HAVE OUR TECHNOLOGY SERVERS, WE ALSO HAVE SERVERS THAT SUPPORT THE CAMERAS.
SO SOME OF THOSE ARE OUTDATED. AND SO WE'RE REPLACING THOSE ALONG WITH THE CAMERAS.
SO THAT'S TWO THINGS. IN ADDITION, WE'RE LOOKING WITH WORKING WITH THE CAMPUSES.
THIS PROJECT HERE IS ACTUALLY ADDING SOME CAMERAS WHERE WE'VE HAD SOME DARK SPOTS, WHERE WE'VE HAD DARK SPOTS FOR AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS YOU DON'T KNOW IT UNTIL YOU VISIT WITH THE CAMPUS PRINCIPAL, AND YOU GET THE THING UP AND RUNNING. AND WE'VE HAD THESE UP AND RUNNING FOR SOME TIME NOW. SO VISITING WITH CAMPUS PRINCIPALS, IF THERE IS A STAIRWELL THAT WAS NOT COVERED BEFORE, WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH THAT AND WE'RE ENHANCING THAT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT ADDITIONAL COVERAGE WHERE NEEDED.
OR THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS ABOUT COVERAGE, MAKING SURE I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN EVER HAVE EVERY SQUARE INCH BEING RECORDED AT ALL TIMES, BUT AS MUCH COVERAGE AS WE CAN JUST BECAUSE OF THINGS THAT GO ON WITHIN THE CAMPUS.
SO THANK YOU. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD?
[00:25:01]
OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'D LIKE TO SHARE THIS VIDEO, IF WE MAY.SO I DO WANT TO GIVE CREDIT TO GRS TV, WHO ASSISTED US IN DEVELOPING THAT VIDEO.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS AFTERNOON. MR. BEACH. YEAH. ONE QUICK QUESTION. MR. MILLER. GO AHEAD.
IT'S JUST A COMMENT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ENCOUNTER A LOT IS IT'S SO EASY TO SEE THE MAX BEING BUILT AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS, AND THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITIES GOING ON AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, SO IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST VISIBLE THING THAT WE'VE GONE ON AROUND THE DISTRICT.
AND I'VE HEARD LOTS OF DIFFERENT COMMENTS, AND I JUST WANT TO POINT ONE THING OUT FOR CLARITY.
THE MAX COST 136 MILLION. THERE'S ANOTHER BILLION $143 MILLION THAT'S BEING SPENT TO FURTHER ACADEMIC SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS, FENCING, SECURITY.
THERE'S SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AS WELL.
I DIDN'T I JUST I GET THE IMPRESSION SOMETIMES THAT PEOPLE FEEL LIKE ALL WE'RE BUILDING WITH THIS BILLION DOLLAR BOND IS MAX, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE. BUT PEOPLE JUST NEED TO REALIZE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE.
SO WHEN YOU SHOW A VIDEO LIKE THIS, I THINK IT REALLY HELPS.
BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT, AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF THAT.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. GOOD POINT. ANYBODY ELSE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL THAT'LL TAKE US INTO ITEM NUMBER FIVE.
