Dec 16, 2025 Special Board Meetings

GOOD AFTERNOON. THIS IS THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES SPECIAL MEETING,

[00:00:05]

AND MISS HOGAN IS NOT HERE, BUT SHE INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO PUBLIC FORUM CARDS FOR THE PUBLIC FOR THIS SPECIAL MEETING.

[III. Superintendent's Message]

DOCTOR LOPEZ. I WISH EVERYBODY HOLIDAY GREETINGS.

WE GOT A LOT OF PROJECTS GOING UP. PARDON OUR DUST, THAT'S GOING ON EVERYWHERE.

YOU COULD SEE THE NEW SCHOOLS STARTING TO DEVELOP OR MAX ACROSS THE CITY.

YOU ALSO GET TO SEE ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE HAPPENING AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, NEW PLAYGROUNDS.

WE DID A LOT OF SAFETY FEATURES, AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE US DOING SCHEMATIC DESIGNS ON SO MANY OTHER DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

WE'RE ON COURSE FOR A LOT OF GREAT INNOVATIONS HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ALL PROMISES KEPT TO THE CITIZENS FROM THIS BOND, AND THE NEW BASEBALL SOFTBALL FIELDS ARE, PUN INTENDED, A HIT.

AND A NEW ONE'S COMING. ACTUALLY, YOU'LL START SEEING THE DEMOLITION OF IT RIGHT THERE HAPPENING IN FRONT OF WILLIAMS STADIUM.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE. AND WE'RE BUILDING BOTH THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELD FOR GARLAND HIGH RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF WILLIAMS. SINCE THE MACK IS GOING TO BE THERE, WE'RE GOING TO CREATE LIKE A COMPLEX FIELD FOR THE KIDS OF GARLAND, WHICH THEY'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE. THEY'VE HAD TO TRAVEL ALL OVER THE PLACE JUST TO HAVE ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.

AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A TRUE HOME FIELD. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR LOPEZ. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER IV.

[IV.A. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Program Summary Update — Javier Fernandez]

MR. FERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DOCTOR LOPEZ. WE'RE HERE TO PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE FOR THE BOND 2023.

THIS IS OUR DECEMBER 2025 UPDATE. AS YOU RECALL, THERE´S THREE PROPOSITIONS THAT MAKE UP OUR BOND PROGRAM.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE FUNDS THAT ARE ALLOCATED THERE FOR EACH OF THE THREE PROPOSITIONS.

AS DOCTOR LOPEZ SHARED EARLIER, OUR TIMELINES REMAIN AS THEY STAND.

WE CONTINUE TO STAY ON SCHEDULE FOR ALL THE FIVE PHASES THAT WE HAVE WITHIN THIS BOND PROGRAM.

FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT DOCTOR LOPEZ MENTIONED, THE GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE RELOCATED.

THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS ARE BEING RELOCATED AT WILLIAMS STADIUM.

WE'LL TELL YOU THAT RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU HAVE THERE FOR PART THREE, THERE'S BEEN A CORRECTION THERE.

WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN JANUARY, BUT INSTEAD OF A 1 GPA, WE'RE ACTUALLY PUSHING THAT OUT AS A COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL.

SO THAT'S ONE CORRECTION THAT WE'RE MAKING THERE. BUT WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN JANUARY FOR A RECOMMENDATION FOR AWARD.

THIS IS THE FIELD HOUSE IN MULTI-PROGRAM ACTIVITY CENTERS.

OTHER DOCTOR LOPEZ MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION OF THE VARIOUS PIECES THAT HAVE TO GO ON WITHIN A CONSTRUCTION.

THESE ARE THE VARIOUS STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION THAT TAKE PLACE WHENEVER YOU'RE BUILDING A STRUCTURE.

THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT TAKES PLACE BOTH BELOW THE GROUND, ABOVE THE GROUND, AND ONCE YOU START SEEING THE STRUCTURE COME UP, YOU CAN SEE QUITE A BIT OF WORK TAKING PLACE.

THESE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF JUST HERE RECENTLY OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING PROGRESSING AT THESE CAMPUSES.

THIS IS GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE WILLIAMS STADIUM SITE.

THIS IS SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS SITUATED BETWEEN THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL COMPLEX.

AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL, THIS FACILITY WILL BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND THE BASEBALL FIELD.

AND AT NAAMAN FOREST YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S PROGRESSING THERE. IT WILL BE SITUATED RIGHT OFF OF NAAMAN ROAD, BETWEEN NAAMAN ROAD AND THE FOOTBALL FIELD. AND ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL, THE FACILITY IS LOCATED RIGHT BEHIND THE TENNIS COURT WHICH IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD FOR ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.

AND AT SACHSE, THE FACILITY IS LOCATED RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

SO AT FREEMAN ELEMENTARY, AGAIN, CONTINUING WITH THE PROGRESS OF COMPLETION, YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT FREEMAN ELEMENTARY FOR THAT PROJECT. THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE FOUNDATION WORK THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE FOR THAT FACILITY.

SO THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE, AND IT KIND OF GIVES YOU A PERSPECTIVE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE BUILDING ITSELF.

[00:05:01]

AT KIMBERLIN ACADEMY, YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.

FINALLY COMPLETED OUR FIRE LANES. STORMWATER IS COMPLETE.

WE'VE STARTED THE GRAY BEAM INSTALLATION, AND SO WORKING OUR UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AS WELL.

SO THAT'S KIMBERLIN ELEMENTARY DAIRY ROAD AND MILLER ROAD.

AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL AND NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL, THIS WORK IS PROGRESSING AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION FOR THE VARIOUS STAGES, THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE. LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, THE REASON THAT THIS PHOTO IS THIS WAY IS THAT THAT IS THE ENTRY OFF OF ROWLETT ROAD, AND THAT WILL BE OUR NEW ENTRY POINT. THAT'S THE NEW ADMINISTRATION AREA AND THE NEW CLASSROOM WING THAT WE ARE BUILDING AT LAKEVIEW.

SO THE ORIENTATION FOR THE ENTRY OF LAKEVIEW AS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM IS ROTATING.

AT NAAMAN FOREST, WE ARE EXTENDING THE ADMINISTRATION AREA TOWARDS NAAMAN FOREST.

SO THAT'S WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE. AND THE ELEMENTARY AND PRE-KINDERGARTEN PLAYGROUNDS, THERE'S 37 OF THE 39 SCHOOLS ARE COMPLETE. AT ETHERIDGE THERE'S GOT SOME WORK THAT'S BEING TAKEN PLACE OVER WINTER BREAK AND THEN THE LAST ONE SO WE'VE GOT SOME WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE ON THOSE SCHOOLS.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THE PLAYGROUNDS THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE.

THIS IS WATSON TECHNOLOGY CENTER FOR MATH AND SCIENCE.

AND SO WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE.

AND THE ELEMENTARY FENCING, WE'VE KICKED OFF THAT PROJECT.

WE NOW HAVE CONTRACTORS ON BOARD, AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS AND SHOP DRAWINGS FOR THAT FENCING.

SO YOU'LL START TO SEE OUR NEW DECORATIVE FENCING THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

AND THE FIRE ALARMS. THERE'S PHASES FOUR AND FIVE.

THERE'S 17 FACILITIES THAT ARE PENDING DESIGN, SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH ALL THE FIVE PHASES AT ONE TIME FOR THAT PROJECT.

SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT. SAME THING FOR SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH, THAT WORK THAT'S PROGRESSING.

YOU CAN SEE SOME ZEROS WHERE WE'VE GOT THE CAMPUS LISTED, BUT WE'RE STILL WAITING ON SOME DESIGNS AND OTHERS THAT WE'VE PROGRESSED IN THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION FOR THE ONES THAT WE HAVE STARTED WORKING ON.

AND THE ACCESS CONTROL, THAT IS FOR THE VARIOUS CAMPUSES THAT WE HAVE.

YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE FOR THE DIFFERENT CAMPUSES, ON THE DIFFERENT PHASES.

ON LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SO WE AWARDED A GMP ONE, IT WAS IN NOVEMBER OF LAST MONTH, AND WE PLAN ON COMMENCING THE DEMOLITION OF MONTCLAIR ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH GMP NUMBER ONE, WHICH GMP STANDS FOR THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.

WE ARE PLANNING TO RECOMMEND A GMP NUMBER TWO TO THE BOARD IN JANUARY.

THAT WILL BE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FACILITY.

AND SO WE PLAN TO BRING A RECOMMENDATION NEXT MONTH.

AT THE CARSON-MULKEY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER, WE PLAN ON PUTTING TWO SEPARATE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICES FOR THAT GMP NUMBER ONE, WILL BE AN EARLY RELEASE PACKAGE THAT WILL HAPPEN IN JANUARY, AND THE REMAINING FACILITY WILL BE PACKAGED AND RELEASED IN MARCH.

SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, WE'VE STARTED THIS SOLICITATION PORTION FOR THAT STAGE OF THE PROJECT, GMP NUMBER ONE, THAT IS FOR THE ROOF PACKAGE FOR SOUTH GARLAND AND NORTH GARLAND.

NOW IF YOU RECALL, WE'VE ACTUALLY BROKE THIS ONE UP INTO TWO SEPARATE GMPS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH ROOF WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE TO BOTH OF THESE CAMPUSES.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE WORK OUT, SOLICIT, GET THE SUBCONTRACTORS ON BOARD SO WE CAN COMMENCE THE ROOFING WORK THIS SUMMER.

SO THAT'S THE GOAL FOR BREAKING THIS PROJECT UP INTO TWO SEPARATE PIECES.

THE REMAINING PORTION IS GOING TO BE A GMP THAT WILL BE SOLICITED AND WE'LL SET THAT IN FEBRUARY.

A RECOMMENDATION TO BRING THE GMP NUMBER ONE, WE'RE BRINGING THAT BACK FOR RECOMMENDATION IN MARCH OF 26.

NORTH LAKE, ROWLETT AND TOLER. WE'VE GOT A RECOMMENDATION FOR AWARD.

WE'RE PLANNING ON BRINGING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD IN MARCH. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE SOLICITATIONS.

WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE SOLICITATION PERIOD NOW WORKING WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK ON THAT PIECE.

AND SO ONCE WE RECEIVE THE DRAFT GMP, WE'LL BE VETTING THAT OUT AND THEN BRING A RECOMMENDATION IN MARCH FOR THAT PROJECT.

THE 23 CAMPUSES FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE PHASING, THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE AT 75%.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS OR SOME MINOR TWEAKS THAT ADMINISTRATION HAS TALKED TO US ABOUT, WE´RE MAKING SOME CHANGES ON A COUPLE OF CAMPUSES THERE.

AND WE'LL BE WRAPPING THAT UP. ON BEAVER TECHNOLOGY CENTER, GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, AND CARVER, THAT'S THE INTRUSION ALARM SYSTEM. AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT CARVER, WE'VE GOT THE EQUIPMENT ORDER FOR BEAVER AND CARVER.

[00:10:08]

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PRESENTATION FOLLOWING THIS PRESENTATION TO TALK ABOUT MORE MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT OUR DDC CONTROLS PROJECT, OUR LOCAL AREA NETWORK PROJECT. THIS IS BEING MANAGED BY OUR TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S PROGRESSING THERE. THE HUB SITES ARE COMPLETE. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK AREA NETWORK IS COMPLETE AND OUR EQUIPMENT FOR OUR DISTRICT NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE. AGAIN, THE CCC AND TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS OUR NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER, THOSE TWO SITES ARE PRIMARY WHAT WE CALL OUR THE HEARTS OF OUR SYSTEM.

AND IT'S A REDUNDANCY SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE, SO IT MIRRORS ONE ANOTHER, BOTH AT THE CCC AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER.

A REPLACEMENT SCHOOL NUMBER FOUR. WE'VE ANALYZED THE PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES WITH PFLUGER ARCHITECTS, WHO IS THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD AND CORE CONSTRUCTION, WHO IS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.

WE'VE GOT SCHEMATIC DESIGN THAT'S ONGOING. AND THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE.

AT THIS POINT, WE THINK WE CAN PROBABLY MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF GMPS THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS.

THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF CHANGES THAT ARE GOING ON WITH THIS PROJECT.

THE TIMELINE HERE SHOWS BEING DONE IN 2027. THERE'S BEEN SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THIS.

AND SO THIS PROJECT ITSELF, WE EXPECT TO HAVE EXTENDING OUT TO THE FALL OF 2028.

SO THIS SLIDE HERE IS ACTUALLY BEING UPDATED FOR THE JANUARY PRESENTATION.

OUR SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND, LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL. THAT'S OUR ATHLETIC PACKAGE.

WE GOT FINAL GMPS IN, AND WE PLAN TO BRING THIS FOR RECOMMENDATION.

THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THIS PROJECT, WE PLAN TO BRING THAT TO THE BOARD FOR RECOMMENDATION IN JANUARY.

AS YOU RECALL, THE ATHLETIC PACKAGE THAT IS FOR SOUTH GARLAND THAT IS PROVIDING SOUTH GARLAND BLEACHERS LIGHTING FINALLY. AND REDOING THE TRACK AND REDOING THE FIELD.

SO SOUTH GARLAND WILL FINALLY GET BLEACHERS ALONG WITH LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, WE WILL HAVE SPECTATOR BLEACHERS ALONG WITH CONCESSION STANDS, ALONG WITH RESTROOMS, ALONG WITH A SOUND SYSTEM SO THAT ALL OF OUR SPORTS OR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS CAN THEN NOW BE HOSTED AT THEIR HOME CAMPUS. AND SO IT MINIMIZES ALL THE TRAVEL THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING FOR ALL OF OUR JV PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE. AND SO WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT HERE BECAUSE WE REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BRING BACK THE HOME FIELD, IF YOU WILL, FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS BEING ABLE TO SERVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS INDEPENDENTLY.

AUSTIN ACADEMY, HOUSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL, JACKSON TECHNOLOGY, AS WE STATED BEFORE, WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE'RE GOING TO BE UTILIZING THE SWITCHGEAR FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THAT IS ACTUALLY OUT.

NOW THAT'S A SEPARATE SOLICITATION. WE'RE USING EXISTING CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACT THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD FOR US TO DO THE ELECTRICAL WORK.

IT'S A SWITCHGEAR UPGRADE FOR ABBOT AND BRADFIELD.

AUSTIN, HOUSTON AND JACKSON, THAT ADDITION RENOVATION PORTION, THAT'S ACTUALLY A CSP NUMBER ONE THAT WE'RE PUSHING OUT.

AND CSP NUMBER TWO, WELL THAT'S A BULLET POINT THERE.

IF FUNDING IS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE PROJECT, WE WILL COME BACK AND WE'LL CIRCLE BACK AND DO THE STAFF PARKING THAT WAS MENTIONED DURING THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

THE ARCHITECT MENTIONED SCHEMATIC DURING HIS SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTED THAT PARKING AS A NEED FOR THE CAMPUS IN REVIEWING THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE AT THESE AT AT AUSTIN ACADEMY.

SO WE WILL REVISIT THAT PORTION ONCE WE GET ALL OF THE DOLLARS BACK, ALL THE NUMBERS BACK FOR THE CSP NUMBER ONE.

OUR NEW NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CENTER. THAT PROJECT THERE, SITE PACKAGE FULLY EXECUTED GMP NUMBER ONE WAS IN NOVEMBER AND WE PLAN TO BRING GMP NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS THE REMAINDER OF THE BUILDING, BACK TO THE BOARD AS A RECOMMENDATION FOR FEBRUARY.

SO YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PRESENTATION WE'VE GOT A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS COMING IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH. WE'LL HAVE EVEN MORE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

AS FAR AS THE GRCTC GOES, WE CONTINUE TO DO DISCOVERY AND PROGRAMING FOR THAT PROJECT.

[00:15:05]

AND AT THIS POINT, WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT DISCOVERY PIECE AND VETTING OUT THE SCOPE VERSUS THE BUDGET, MAKING SURE THAT OUR SCOPE TO BUDGET ALIGNS FOR THIS PROJECT.

AND ALSO FOR PHASE THREE, WHICH IS BRANDENBURG, O'BANION, LYLES MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SOUTHGATE.

WE'VE HAD OUR INITIAL DESIGN MEETINGS WITH THE ARCHITECTS, AND WE ARE IN DISCOVERY AND PLANNING MODE FOR THAT PROJECT AS WELL.

BUSSEY, SELLERS, WEBB, SHOREHAVEN AND WILLIAMS ELEMENTARY, THE SAME PLACE WE'RE IN DISCOVERY AND PLANNING FOR THAT.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PRESENTATION, WHAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU A LOT OF PROJECTS FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSTRUCTION AWARD, WE ARE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING DESIGN FOR THE PHASE FOUR, AND WE HAVE ALSO COMMENCED A PHASE FIVE PORTION AS WELL.

SO PARSONS PREKINDERGARTEN, CISNEROS PREKINDERGARTEN.

YOU CAN SEE WE'RE IN THE DISCOVERY PHASE FOR THAT DISCOVERY AND PLANNING FOR THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE THERE.

OUR NEW MEMORIAL PATHWAY ACADEMY AND OUR MANUEL MARIA VALLE STUDENT SERVICES CENTER.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE. WE'VE MADE A LOT OF HEADWAY FROM A DESIGN STANDPOINT.

WE STILL REMAIN ON SCHEDULE. PLAN TO ISSUE FOR PROCUREMENT IN JUNE OF 2026.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE TIMELINE THAT WE PLAN ON STARTING THE WORK THERE.

OUR PROPOSITION C, STUDENTS AND STAFF COMPUTER REPLACEMENTS.

THE DEPLOYMENT PHASE IS 75%. AND OUR IPADS FOR THE PHASE TWO WE'VE GOT DEPLOYMENT THAT'S HAPPENING FROM NOVEMBER LAST MONTH THROUGH FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE THERE.

BEFORE WE GET TO YOUR QUESTIONS, THOUGH, I'D LIKE TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND I'D LIKE TO DO A SMALL VIDEO PRESENTATION, GIVE YOU JUST A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT BOTH FREEMAN AND KIMBERLIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

MR. FERNANDEZ, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. I WANT TO ASK ONE QUICK QUESTION ABOUT NAAMAN AND LAKEVIEW ON THE NEW FRONTAGE THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN FOR THE OFFICE AREA.

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT. IS THAT ALSO GOING TO INCLUDE EXTENSION IN THE CAFETERIAS? THERE IS CAFETERIA RENOVATIONS. SO THE CAFETERIAS AT BOTH LAKEVIEW AND NAAMAN ARE BEING RENOVATED AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY PUSHING OUT.

WE'RE ACTUALLY MAKING THOSE SPACES LARGER THAN WHAT THEY CURRENTLY ARE.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? GOOD PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, JAVIER. YES, SIR.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER B. RECEIVE THE PRESENTATION ON THE BOND 2023 HVAC CONTROLS REPLACEMENT PROJECT.

[IV.B. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 HVAC Controls Replace Project – Dr. Jennifer DuPlessis ]

AND I THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON IN THE ROOM WHO LIKES IT AS MUCH AS I DO, BUT.

GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT BEACH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DOCTOR LOPEZ.

WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME UPDATES THAT WE'VE HAD AS A RESULT OF THE BOND ON OUR HVAC,

[00:20:02]

WE ARE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, SO WE HAVE DONE COMPLETE HARDWARE REPLACEMENTS IN SOME LOCATIONS AND SOME SYSTEM OR PROGRAMING RECOMMISSIONING IN ADDITIONAL SPOTS. SO WE'LL KIND OF EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO THINGS.

12 CAMPUSES, WE'VE DONE A COMPLETE HARDWARE REPLACEMENT, AND WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE MOMENTARILY.

WE HAVE ABOUT 15 CAMPUSES OF HARDWARE REPLACEMENT REMAINING.

THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS IS BASICALLY THE ORDER AND THE PROGRAMING THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE CONTROL SYSTEM THAT TELLS THE HVAC SYSTEMS HOW TO OPERATE.

IT'S VERY CRITICAL THAT THAT PROGRAMING IS EFFECTIVE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS RUNNING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE FACILITY.

SO WE HAVE SEVEN CAMPUSES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETELY RECOMMISSIONED, HAVING ALL THAT PROGRAMING CHECKED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND MAKING SURE IT'S OPTIMIZED FOR THE HVAC UNITS THAT ARE IN PLACE. SO THE PROJECT STARTED IN SEPTEMBER OF 23, AND IT'S ESTIMATED TO BE COMPLETED IN JUNE OF 2027.

SO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU KIND OF A PICTURE OF WHAT A CONTROL SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE.

THIS IS THE DASHBOARD. SO ANY COMPUTER THAT HAS ACCESS TO OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CAN BE UTILIZED TO OPEN UP THIS DASHBOARD, AND WE CAN LOOK ACROSS THE DISTRICT AT ANY CAMPUS VERY EASILY AND VERY QUICKLY, AND DRILL DOWN INTO THAT CAMPUS, DRILL DOWN INTO SPECIFIC UNITS AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

BUT THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE DASHBOARD IS WE CAN KIND OF SEE EVERYTHING AT ONCE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC AREAS WE NEED TO ATTEND TO VERY QUICKLY.

IT HELPS US IDENTIFY PRIORITY PLACES THAT WE NEED TO DISPATCH INDIVIDUALS.

SO A GREAT QUESTION WAS ASKED ABOUT OUR HVAC CONTROL CENTER.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOWADAYS.

IT USED TO BE YOU KNOW, COMPUTERS THAT MAYBE GENTLEMEN WOULD GATHER AROUND IN THE MORNING BEFORE THEY DECIDE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO.

WE GET TO SKIP ALL THAT NOW, BECAUSE WE CAN ACCESS THESE SYSTEMS ANYWHERE, AND WE TRAIN ALL OF OUR TECHNICIANS TO HAVE A LAPTOP TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION ANYWHERE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IT MAY BE VERY DARK, MAYBE VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, MAYBE IN THE TRUCK.

WE HAVE SYSTEMS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE, SO THEY CAN OPEN THAT UP.

THEY CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR BUILDINGS, SPECIFICALLY SEE HOW THEY'RE RUNNING IN ANY AREAS THEY NEED TO LOOK AT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, IF THEY'RE IN A PARTICULAR ROOM AND THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO DO TROUBLESHOOTING, THEY CAN PLUG DIRECTLY INTO THE CONTROLLER AND READ SPECIFIC ITEMS ABOUT THAT UNIT.

THEY CAN ALSO DO THAT IF THEY'RE UP ON THE ROOF ON A ROOFTOP UNIT TO HELP TROUBLESHOOT.

SO IT'S EXTREMELY HELPFUL. SO ONCE YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD, IF YOU WANT TO DRILL DOWN INTO THE CAMPUS VIEW, YOU CAN LOOK AT VARIOUS AREAS. THESE ARE TYPICALLY CALLED ZONES THAT MAY BE SERVED BY DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE HVAC SYSTEM.

THAT HELP US KIND OF ISOLATE SPECIFIC AREAS AND LOOK AT THEM MORE CLOSELY.

THIS IS A CHILLER. AND SO IT'S A VERY COMPLEX HVAC SYSTEM.

AND AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW FROM YOUR RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS, THEY GET MORE AND MORE COMPLEX EVERY DAY. SO THESE CHILLER SYSTEMS HAVE A LOT OF PARTS AND PIECES THAT HELP THEM OPERATE CORRECTLY. AND WHEN WE CAN INTERFACE WITH A MAJOR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LIKE A CHILLER.

YOU KNOW, WE MAY HAVE 2 OR 3 CHILLERS AT A HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS, BUT WE CAN DRILL DOWN INTO THAT SPECIFIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND WE CAN LOOK AT THINGS LIKE IS IT OVERRIDDEN? IS IT RUNNING ON COOL? HEAT? FIRST PHASE. SECOND PHASE. IT'S INCREDIBLY HELPFUL FROM A TROUBLESHOOTING PERSPECTIVE.

IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. SO WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT THIS FROM A SYSTEM AND NOT JUST A UNIT BASIS.

SO WHEN WE CAN LOOK AT THE WHOLE SYSTEM, WE CAN LOOK AT A CHILLED WATER LOOP AND SEE WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS GOING IN, COMING OUT. IS THE PUMP OPERATING? IS THE PUMP DISABLED? AND WE CAN LOOK AT THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE FROM THE WATER GOING THROUGH THAT CHILLED WATER LOOP.

SO THESE THINGS ARE ALL EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND QUICKLY TROUBLESHOOTING IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A MAJOR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

SAME ON THE BOILER SIDE. SO THIS IS A BOILER SYSTEM.

YOU CAN SEE THIS PARTICULAR SYSTEM HAS TWO PUMPS THROUGH THAT LOOP, SO WE CAN ALSO MONITOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL PIECES IN ADDITION TO ALL THE MANY ITEMS YOU SEE BELOW. I'LL DESCRIBE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THOSE PARTICULAR ITEMS ARE, BECAUSE THEY CAN BE OPERATED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.

AND THIS IS A ROOFTOP UNIT, USED TO BE THE SIMPLEST UNIT WHEN I FIRST STARTED MANY YEARS AGO, BUT IT ALSO GETS MORE AND MORE COMPLEX EVERY DAY.

WE USED TO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THINGS LIKE CONTROL IN OUR CLASSROOMS FOR HUMIDITY.

NOW WE CAN DO THAT. NOW WE CAN LOOK AT OUR CARBON MONOXIDE.

WE CAN LOOK AT A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WITHIN THESE UNITS TO HAVE A BETTER CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT.

THIS IS A FAN COIL UNIT. SO JUST SHOWING YOU DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN SEE WITHIN THE SYSTEM.

THE GRAPHICS ALSO MAY CHANGE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A VALVE OPENS YOU MAY SEE THAT REPRESENTED ON THE GRAPHIC.

[00:25:05]

THEY CAN EVEN BE SET UP TO TEXT AN INDIVIDUAL TECHNICIAN.

AND THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS WE ISOLATE AND WE SET UP AS ALARMS WITHIN THAT SYSTEM SO WE'RE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY.

SO HIGH TEMP, IF WE HAVE AN AREA THAT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE, A SUPPLY FAN STATUS.

IS IT ON OR OFF? CHILLER STATUS, BOILER STATUS, PUMP STATUS, ROOM TEMP.

WE LOOK AT OUR PARTS PER MILLION FOR CARBON MONOXIDE.

WE LOOK AT OUR MDF, IDF ROOM TEMPERATURE. SO WE HAVE SENSORS SPECIFICALLY IN THOSE AREAS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT IS PROTECTED.

AND THEN WE HAVE AREAS THAT ARE MONITORED. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF POINTS ON HERE.

AND WE DON'T WANT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM TO BE AN ALARM BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF, RIGHT? WE WANT TO SET UP THOSE ALARMS FOR SPECIFIC THINGS, BUT THEN WE ALSO WANT MONITORED POINTS THAT GIVE US DATA WHEN WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT, OR WE JUST WANT TO SEE HOW OUR SYSTEMS ARE OPERATING.

SO YOU CAN SEE A NUMBER OF THOSE MONITORED POINTS THAT WE CAN SEE HERE IN ADDITION TO THE ALARMS. SO JUST LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS, THINGS LIKE OUR GALLONS PER MINUTE TELL US OUR FLOW WITHIN THE SYSTEM.

DO WE HAVE ANY RESTRICTIONS IN OUR PIPING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? WHAT'S OUR AIR VOLUME GOING THROUGH THE SYSTEM? SO MANY DIFFERENT POINTS THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MONITOR IN ADDITION TO THOSE THAT WE RECEIVE ALARMS FOR.

SO WHAT MAKES THIS MAGIC HAPPEN? IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO SOME OF OUR OTHER TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS, BUT WE HAVE A COMPUTER. OBVIOUSLY IT RUNS ON A NETWORK, WHICH MAKES IT WONDERFUL BECAUSE IF WE'RE AT HOME IN THE EVENING, WE CAN ALSO JUMP ON THROUGH A VPN AND WE CAN STILL LOOK AT OUR SYSTEMS ANYWHERE THAT WE ARE WITHIN THE DISTRICT VERY EASILY.

THAT'S SERVED THROUGH OUR NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER.

WE HAVE A VIRTUAL SERVER. AND THEN A JACE THAT'S LOCATED IN EACH BUILDING, MDF, IDF ROOM THAT WE'RE CONNECTING WITH.

AND THEN THE UNIT CONTROLLERS ARE LOCATED TYPICALLY ABOVE THE CEILING NEAR THE CLASSROOM.

AND SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF WHAT THAT LAYOUT LOOKS LIKE.

KIND OF YOUR YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.

AND THIS IS THE CONTROLLER. SO IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE KIND OF THE INTERNAL WORKINGS OF THE CONTROLLER.

WHAT DOES EACH UNIT CONNECT TO OR EACH ALARM POINT OR EACH MONITORING POINT CONNECT TO WITHIN YOUR CONTROLLER OR THERMOSTAT AS YOU WOULD THINK.

SO IT'S A LOT OF WORK. WE HAVE A LOT OF CAMPUSES IN GARLAND ISD.

AND OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE OPERATION, SO THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN COMFORT, BUT ALSO BE COST EFFECTIVE IN HOW WE OPERATE OUR HVAC.

WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT AGES OF SYSTEMS, WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A DISTRICT OF OUR SIZE.

WE HAVE SOME THAT WERE INVENSYS OR SCHNEIDER.

IT'S ACTUALLY A PARENT COMPANY THAT I WORKED FOR 25 YEARS AGO DOING PROGRAMING AND ORDERING PARTS FOR CONTROL SYSTEMS. SO VERY OLDER LEGACY SYSTEM, THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AS TECHNOLOGY CHANGES AND EVOLVES, SOME OF THOSE ARE NOT BACKWARD INTEGRATED.

WE STILL HAVE SOME PARTS OF THOSE SYSTEMS AT A HIGH SCHOOL, SEVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, SEVEN SUPPORT FACILITIES AND TWO ATHLETIC FACILITIES.

OUR AUTOMATED LOGIC SYSTEMS ARE 8 TO 12 YEARS OLD, SO THOSE WERE CHANGED OUT IN THE 2014 BOND FROM ABOUT 2015 TO 2020.

THOSE ARE USED AT THREE HIGH SCHOOLS, FIVE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ONE ELEMENTARY AND ONE SUPPORT FACILITY.

WE HAVE A SIEMENS SYSTEM AT THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING, AND WE ALSO HAVE DISTECH IN THE DISTRICT WHERE WE HAVE THAT AT THREE HIGH SCHOOLS, SEVEN MIDDLE SCHOOLS, TWENTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND TWO ATHLETIC FACILITIES.

SO VARIOUS SYSTEMS, WE'RE TRYING TO UPDATE OUR SYSTEMS TO WHAT WE HAVE FOUND TO BE THE BEST UPFRONT COST, AS WELL AS EASE OF PROGRAMING, EFFICIENT FUNCTION.

AND WE ALSO RECENTLY HAD A REPORT FROM OUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER THAT EVALUATED ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES AND HOW MUCH THEY CONSUME BASED ON THE TYPE OF CONTROL SYSTEM THEY HAD. AND IT ALSO SHOWED THAT THE DISTECH SYSTEM THAT WE WERE USING, THAT WE'RE NOW INSTALLING HAS BEEN THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE FOR US.

SO WE STILL HAVE SOME SITES THAT HAVE SOME OF THOSE OUTDATED AND PARTS AND PIECES.

ABOUT 13 CAMPUSES STILL HAVE 25 TO 33% OF THE OUTDATED CONTROLS.

BUT THEN WE'RE COMING BACK AND DOING THE PROGRAMING AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S RUNNING APPROPRIATELY.

SO AT THIS POINT, I'LL ANSWER ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION, DR DUPLESSIS.

WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE ALARM POINT, DO WE HAVE FREEZE GUARDS ON THE CHILLERS AND ALSO THE ROOF TOPS? DO Y'ALL GET NOTICE OF WHEN THE TEMPERATURES OR, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD ANOTHER 100 YEAR STORM, OUR UNITS GOING TO KICK ON SO WE DON'T HAVE FREEZING PIPES AND THAT TYPE OF THING TAKE PLACE.

[00:30:02]

I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE BRIAN FINLEY, OUR DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE IN THE BACK.

HE RUNS ALL THE SYSTEMS THROUGH, SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANY COMMENTS ABOUT FREEZE PROTECT? OH, SORRY. MY VOICE IS LOUD TO BEGIN WITH. SORRY.

SO WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THIS PROGRAM FROM THE 2014 BOND, WE KIND OF GOT MESSED OVER IN THAT BOND.

SO WE DIDN'T HAVE FREEZE PROTECTION IN A LOT OF OUR BUILDINGS.

FREEZE PROTECTION IS MORE IMPORTANT IN CHILLED WATER, HOT WATER SCHOOLS THAN IT WOULD BE IN ROOFTOP SCHOOLS, BECAUSE THE ONLY THING WE'RE PROTECTING IN ROOFTOP SCHOOLS ARE RESTROOMS, CAFETERIA KITCHENS, ANYTHING WITH WATER IN IT. ANYWAY, A CHILLED WATER SYSTEM HAS WATER CIRCULATING THROUGH THE WHOLE SYSTEM, SO WHEN IT DROPS TO 38 DEGREES, THE PUMPS COME ON, THE BOILER COMES ON, THE VALVES OPEN UP TO ALL THE AIR HANDLERS, AND IT'S DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE LOOP AND THE EQUIPMENT.

THAT'S ALL BEEN FIXED. WE HAVE A LITTLE INDICATOR ON THE SET POINT PAGE FOR THE SYSTEM THAT TELLS US WHETHER WE'RE IN FREEZE PROTECTION OR NOT.

SO WE'VE UPDATED WITH A LOT OF EASY FINDS, EASY MONITORS.

AND WE'RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ROBERT? THANKS FOR THAT PRESENTATION. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, YOU SHOWED A COUPLE SLIDES THAT HAD ALARMS AND SYSTEM NETWORKING AND EVERYTHING.

FROM A REDUNDANCY STANDPOINT, IF WE WERE TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE NETWORK OR ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF THE PHYSICAL PARTS WITHIN THE CHILLER, LIKE WHAT REDUNDANCIES DO WE HAVE IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE UPTIME STILL IS INTACT AND THE CAMPUSES AREN'T, YOU KNOW, IMPACTED? AND IF THAT HAPPENS, THEN WHAT´S THE FAIL SAFE PLAN THAT CAMPUSES NEED TO RUN AFTER THAT? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. MOST OF THE SYSTEMS WILL FAIL IN LAST PROGRAM.

SO THEY DON'T DUMP THE PROGRAM IF WE LOSE NETWORK, THEY'RE STILL OPERATING OFF OF THE CONTROL.

THE PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN DOWNLOADED INTO THE CONTROLLERS AT THE BUILDING. WHAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO IS CHANGE A TEMPERATURE SET POINT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO IN THAT INSTANCE, WE WOULD HAVE THE TECHNICIAN DRIVE OUT WITH THEIR LAPTOP AND PLUG DIRECTLY IN, AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOME THINGS FROM THERE.

THEN THEY CAN JUST OPERATE THE SYSTEM AS NORMAL CONTROLLER BY CONTROLLER.

OKAY. SO WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING COVERED, WE'VE LOOKED AND SO CAMPUSES WOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE AS NORMAL? OKAY COOL. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. MILLER? YEAH. JUST BRIEFLY AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I'VE BEEN VERY INTERESTED IN EXACTLY WHAT ALL WE WERE DOING IN THIS AREA.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GOT, I'M ASSUMING SOME OF OUR UNITS ARE NEWER THAN OTHERS OR OLDER THAN OTHERS.

AND LIKE IF WE REPLACE ONE, DOES THAT NECESSITATE THE CHANGING OUT OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM, OR WILL THE CONTROL SYSTEM BE COMPATIBLE WITH WHATEVER IT IS REPLACED BY IN THE FUTURE? SO THESE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE COMPATIBLE. THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGES IS THE OPERATING SEQUENCE OF THE UNIT.

ROOFTOP UNITS HAVE GOTTEN VERY COMPLEX THESE DAYS.

AION UNITS YOU HAVE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SPECIALIZED PROGRAM BECAUSE OF HOW THE ENGINEER DESIGNED THEM TO OPERATE.

SO THERE WILL BE SOME MINOR PROGRAMING CHANGES THAT HAVE TO TAKE PLACE TO MAKE THAT ALL HAPPEN.

SO THE EXISTING INVENTORY THAT WE HAVE OF HVAC SYSTEMS ARE ALL COMPATIBLE WITH THE LIKE, YOU HAD 15 TO 33% OF THE CAMPUSES. YES. AT 13 CAMPUSES NEED TO BE REPLACED.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE NEED TO DO OTHER THAN REPLACE.

THE HARDWARE CONTROL SYSTEM. AND THE PROGRAMING. SO THE ACTUAL COOLING AND HEATING ELEMENTS WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM.

SO IN FUTURE UPGRADES TECHNOLOGY SEEMS TO CHANGE, LIKE EVERY TIME I GET A NEW IPHONE, I GOT TO GO GET NEW CHARGERS FOR EVERYTHING.

AND SO HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH THESE TYPES OF SYSTEMS THAT ARE SO ATI BASED? SO YOU KNOW, TECHNOLOGY IS A RAPID CHANGING THING.

ONE OF THE REASONS WE WENT WITH THIS TECH IS BECAUSE THEY LOOK LONG TERM.

THEY'RE THE ONLY COMPANY THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THEIR HARDWARE PART OF IT OVERNIGHT.

THEY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT 15 YEARS MINIMUM FOR DISTECH TYPE CONTROL SYSTEMS. AUTOMATED LOGIC, THEY'RE LIKE 7 TO 10. SIEMENS ARE ABOUT THE SAME.

SO DISTECH IS PROBABLY THE MOST DURABLE AND MOST LONGER LASTING.

SO WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON CONTROLS LIKE AS A CONCERN.

THANK YOU. SURE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM NUMBER V. ACTION ITEMS.

[V.A. Consider Approval of Recommended Region 6 Education Service Center (RESC 6) Purchasing Interlocal Cooperative Agreement – Mark Booker]

[00:35:02]

MISS MARTINEZ. GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT BEACH, BOARD OF TRUSTEES, SUPERINTENDENT.

WHAT I HAVE BEFORE YOU IS NOT AN INTERESTING PRESENTATION OR A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO.

IT'S JUST CONTRACTS. SO WHAT I HAVE BEFORE YOU IS A CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL FOR A REGION 6 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER PURCHASING INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT.
