Jun 09, 2026 Board Bond Special Meeting

[00:00:02]

GREETINGS. IT IS 4:31 AND THIS IS A REGULARLY CALLED SPECIAL MEETING OF THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum]

MISS HOGAN, DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS? SEEING THAT THERE ARE NO CARDS, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE.

[III. Superintendent's Message]

YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH PROJECTS.

MAY STILL A LITTLE THUNDER FROM MR. FERNANDEZ.

WE HAVE ACTUALLY HAD ONE BUILDING TURNED OVER TO US FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND, WHICH IS THE NAAMAN MAC.

AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND WE HAVE STARTED SOME MORE DIRT MOVING AND DIFFERENT AREAS.

AND SO IT IS THE BOND PROJECTS ARE MOVING ALONG AS FAST AS WE CAN MAKE THEM HAPPEN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. DODDS. NEXT ISSUE IS GOING TO BE INFORMATION ITEMS RECEIVED PRESENTATION ON THE BOND 2023 PROGRAM SUMMARY UPDATE.

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

DOCTOR LOPEZ. MR. DODDS. HERE IN SPIRIT. THAT'S CORRECT.

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS.

WE'VE MADE SOME, AS MR. DODDS HAD MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS TO REPORT TODAY.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL GET STARTED WITH OUR SUMMARY.

AGAIN, FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE OF ALL OF OUR CITIZENS, WE PASSED A $1.279 BILLION BOND.

AND WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO DO THE WORK THAT WAS PROMISED TO OUR VOTERS.

ON THE SOFTBALL BASEBALL IMPROVEMENTS AT PHASE ONE PROJECT.

WE ARE WORKING ON THE GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.

THAT'S THE PART THREE FOR THOSE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE MANUEL AND MARIA VALLE STUDENT SERVICE CENTER.

THAT BUILDING HAS NOW BEEN RAZED, SO IT IS GONE.

WE ARE WORKING ON THE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL FIELDS, THAT WORK HAS COMMENCED.

AND SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT WORK. THAT IS THE FORMER BUILDING THAT WAS THERE.

IT HAS NOW BEEN RAZED, SO MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT.

AS MR. DODDS MENTIONED EARLIER, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT ON THE FIELDHOUSES AND MULTI PROGRAM ACTIVITY CENTERS, NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL, WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE OF WHAT WE CALL, WE CALL A TCO WHICH IS A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. THE CITY CALLS IT A CCO WHICH IS A CONDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, MEANING THERE'S CONDITIONS AROUND THAT. AND SO TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF UPDATE, WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF YOU GO BY NAAMAN FOREST, IT'S CONDITIONAL BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT A FEW METAL PANELS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING THAT WE ARE STILL WAITING TO INSTALL.

AND WE'VE GOT SOME WORK THAT WE'RE DOING WITH SOME IRRIGATION AS PART OF THAT PROJECT.

SO WITH THOSE TWO THINGS, THAT'S A CONDITIONAL.

IT GIVES US 30 DAYS TO COMPLETE THAT AND WE'LL HAVE A HAVE A FULL TCO ON THAT PIECE OF THE BUILDING.

IT MEANS THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY START WALKING INSIDE OF THE BUILDING WITHOUT A HARD HAT.

SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK IN AND OUT AT YOUR PLEASURE WITH THAT BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE WITH THE REST OF THE PROJECTS. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT I WANT TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE FROM A SCHEDULE STANDPOINT.

SO YOU SEE THE GREEN LINE, WHICH IS THE SCHEDULE, DOESN'T REALLY TELL YOU WHERE WE'RE AT ON EACH PARTICULAR ONE.

YOU CAN SEE THE CONSTRUCTION STAGES FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE.

BUT I DID WANT TO POINT OUT, TAKE YOUR TIME AND KIND OF SHARE WITH YOU OUR PROJECTIONS AT THE MOMENT.

SO OUR FIELDHOUSES AND MAC, AS WE SAID, NAAMAN FOREST HAS A CCO.

ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL, WE ANTICIPATE HAPPENING AT THE END OF THE MONTH 6/26.

AT GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL WE ANTICIPATE HAPPENING EARLY JULY.

SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL EARLY JULY AS WELL. SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL LATE JULY, ALONG WITH NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL LATE JULY.

AND THEN THEY, LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HAPPENING IN MID-OCTOBER.

SO THAT'S OUR PROJECTIONS AS WE STAND NOW. I DO HAVE SOME DATES ALSO FOR THE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT THAT GOES INTO THERE AND SOME FURNITURE AS WELL.

SO THE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT, WHILE WE DO HAVE THE CCO FOR NAAMAN FOREST, THE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY FOR THAT FACILITY.

THE FURNITURE WILL ARRIVE HERE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH ON 6/22.

AND GOING BACK TO ROWLETT, OUR WEIGHT EQUIPMENT WOULD ARRIVE IN AUGUST EARLY AUGUST.

GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL WEIGHT EQUIPMENT WILL ARRIVE IN SEPTEMBER, THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

OUR SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL WEIGHT EQUIPMENT WILL ARRIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST.

AND SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL EQUIPMENT, WEIGHT EQUIPMENT WILL ARRIVE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

AND NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL WILL ARRIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER.

[00:05:04]

SO HOPEFULLY THAT GIVES THE CITIZENRY SOME INFORMATION AS TO WHERE WE ARE WITH THE ACTUAL BUILDING, WHERE WE ARE WITH THE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT BUILDING SO THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF AND, AND TEACHERS, THEIR COACHES TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THESE BUILDINGS.

THESE ARE SOME PHOTOS WE HAVE FOR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS THE WILLIAMS STADIUM LOCATION, BUT IT IS GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL'S FACILITY. THIS IS THE INTERIOR.

SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, THE INTERIOR OF THAT.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE GET TO ROWLETT. THIS IS LAKEVIEW.

AND THEN WE GET TO NAAMAN FOREST. SO YOU CAN SEE THE COLOR PANELS FROM THIS PHOTO.

YOU CAN SEE THE COLOR METAL PANELS THAT ARE ON THE EXTERIOR.

EACH ONE OF THESE WILL HAVE A BRANDING, IF YOU WILL, FROM STARTING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND IT WILL BE BRANDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH INSIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SO A LOT OF INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS BRANDING IS TAKING PLACE FOR THESE BUILDINGS.

AND SO TO MAKE IT FEEL AS A TRULY HOME FEEL. THIS IS THE INSIDE OF THE INDOOR FLOOR NAAMAN FOREST.

AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE LOCKERS. THESE ARE THE FOOTBALL LOCKERS THAT YOU SEE THERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WITHIN THIS PROGRAM IS WE HAVE, WE HAVE NO DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN OUR FRESHMAN JV AND VARSITY LOCKERS. EVERYONE GETS THE SAME LOCKER STYLE.

SO MADE AN EFFORT TO DO THAT. AND LOOKS LIKE I JUST FROZE.

LOOKS LIKE IT JUST FROZE. OKAY, THERE IT IS. OKAY, SO THIS PHOTO SHOWS ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.

THE ACTUAL TURF IS ACTUALLY INSTALLED AT ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL NOW.

SO THAT'S A GOOD NEWS. AND SO THIS WAS KIND OF LOOKS LIKE RUBBER, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY GRAVEL THERE THAT YOU SEE THERE.

SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE A PHOTO OF THAT FACILITY THE WORK THAT'S ON THE INSIDE.

FREEMAN ELEMENTARY, IT IS MOVING FORWARD REALLY RAPIDLY.

WE'VE GOT, YOU CAN SEE THE CONSTRUCTION STAGES THAT ARE GOING ON THERE.

A LOT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE STARTING TO GO IN.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS GETTING IN THE DRY, IF YOU WILL.

SO THIS IS A LOT OF PROGRESS THAT'S BEEN TAKEN FORTH AT FREEMAN ELEMENTARY.

KIMBERLIN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE. THAT ONE IS ALSO MOVING ALONG VERY, VERY WELL.

THIS IS A PHOTO YOU SEE THERE. SO WE'VE STILL GOT A CRANE OUT THERE.

STILL GOT SOME RED IRON TO BE INSTALLED. AND SO WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD WORK THAT ARE TAKING PLACE AT KIMBERLIN ACADEMY.

AT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL AND NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL.

YOU CAN SEE THE PROGRESS THAT WE STAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION STAGES ALONG WITH THE SCOPE.

GIVES YOU AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THERE. SINCE THESE ARE RENOVATIONS, SOMETIMES IT'S EASY TO SEE WHEN YOU DO A GROUND FROM A GREENFIELD SITE AND IT'S A BRAND NEW BUILDING, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET, BUT WHEN YOU GET A RENOVATION, IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BEING DONE AT THESE TWO FACILITIES. SO THESE TWO FACILITIES ARE ACTUALLY GETTING ADDITIONS AUDITORIUM RENOVATIONS AND GETTING UPDATES ON THE DANCE PROGRAM ALONG WITH THE CAFETERIA EXPANSION AT NAAMAN FOREST.

THIS IS LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE STARTED TO PUT SOME THE STRUCTURE IS STARTING TO GO UP ON THE ADMINISTRATION FACILITY.

THAT'S THE ADDITION. THIS IS THE AUDITORIUM AREA FOR LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.

AND NAAMAN FOREST, THIS IS A NEW FRONT ENTRY FOR NAAMAN FOREST.

AGAIN, PART OF THIS PROJECT, WHEN YOU FINISH SEEING THIS, A LOT OF THAT TWO PLY MOD BIT THAT'S IN THE BACK OF THE EXISTING BUILDING THAT LOOKS WORN, THAT IS ACTUALLY BEING REPLACED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT AS WELL SO.

THIS IS NAAMAN FOREST WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.

SO THE AUDITORIUMS ARE GETTING RENOVATED. ELEMENTARY AND PREKINDERGARTEN PLAYGROUNDS.

WE'VE GOT CLOSE OUT. WE SHOULD BE CLOSING THAT OUT THIS MONTH WITH, EXCUSE ME.

YEAH, WE SHOULD BE CLOSING OUT THE PLAYGROUNDS THIS MONTH, AND SO SHOULD BE FULLY COMPLETE WITH THAT PROJECT.

THE ELEMENTARY FENCING WE'VE GOT, THERE'S 39 FACILITIES THAT WE ARE DOING FENCING FOR, AND 12 OF THOSE CAMPUSES ARE 100% COMPLETE.

I WILL ADD THAT WE STILL ARE WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THE SEQUENCING FROM CARD ACCESS CAMERAS AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

SO WE'LL HAVE ALL OF THAT WORKING TOGETHER, BLENDED TOGETHER FOR THIS PROJECT.

THIS IS LISTER ELEMENTARY AND IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE TYPE OF FENCE THAT'S GOING UP, THE TYPE OF GATES THAT ARE GOING UP IN ORDER TO SECURE

[00:10:05]

AGAIN, THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH. AND WE'VE GOT SECURITY CAMERA, THERE'S 49 SITES THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE ON THERE.

AND SO WE'VE STARTED DEVICE INSTALL WITH SECURITY CAMERAS AND WIRE INSTALL.

YOU CAN SEE THE PROGRESS THAT'S TAKEN PLACE THERE.

ACCESS CONTROL, WE'VE GOT STILL WORKING THROUGH I BELIEVE WE'VE COMPLETED SOME OF OUR PURCHASE ORDERS FOR THOSE.

AND SO WE'RE READY TO GET STARTED ON THAT ACCESS CONTROL PORTION.

ON THE LINDA L. GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY. THAT BUILDING.

WE HAVE COMPLETED THE RAZING OF MONTCLAIR ELEMENTARY.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD.

WE DID GET OUR SITE PERMIT. WE DID GET OUR BUILDING PERMIT.

SO EVERYTHING IS A GO WITH THE NEW LINDA L. GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND SO THIS IS THE FORMER MONTCLAIR THAT THE BUILDING ITSELF, THE FOUNDATION, EVERYTHING HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED.

AND SO WORKING TOWARDS CONSTRUCTING A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THAT AREA.

OUR CARSON-MULKEY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER, WE DID RECEIVE BIDS.

WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED AN AWARD. EXCUSE ME. WE RECEIVED A BOARD APPROVAL FOR A GMP ON THAT.

AND I WILL JUST SHARE WITH YOU THAT WE'VE GOT WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE PERMIT PROCESS WITH THE CITY OF SACHSE, BUT WE HAVE APPROVED THE PROJECT. WE DO HAVE A GMP FROM LEE LEWIS CONSTRUCTION.

WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE PERMITTING PIECE WITH THE CITY OF SACHSE AS IT RELATES TO THIS BILL, AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROJECT, SO. SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE OVER THE SUMMER.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE. SO THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE AT THESE CAMPUSES.

NOW, MIND YOU THAT THIS IS A TWO SUMMER PROJECT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME OF THE WORK THIS SUMMER, AND THEN IT'S GOING TO ROLL INTO NEXT SUMMER. SO THE CONTRACTOR WILL ACTUALLY DO WORK WHICH CAUSED A MOBILIZATION, DEMOBILIZATION, AND THEN REMOBILIZATION NEXT YEAR SO THAT WE CAN ENSURE THAT THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IS DOES NOT DISRUPT THE INSTRUCTION THAT IS TAKING PLACE AT THESE FACILITIES.

NORTH LAKE, ROWLETT AND TOLER, THAT THAT ONE WAS APPROVED, GMP WAS APPROVED IN APRIL.

WE'VE COMMENCED CONSTRUCTION THIS MONTH. AND SO WE ARE WORKING.

THAT ONE IS ON THE GO. THAT ONE'S GOT A LOT OF WORK THAT'S GOING ON THIS SUMMER.

AND SO I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO A, THIS ONE'S GOING TO TAKE US INTO NEXT YEAR AS WELL.

SO A LOT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE ON THESE THREE SITES, THESE THREE BUILDINGS.

OUR FENCING PROJECT. WE PLAN ON NEXT MONTH TO GO FOR A CSP ON THIS.

WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH READY FOR THESE CAMPUSES.

AND SO WE'RE COORDINATING THE SOLICITATION. THIS IS A CSP, SO THIS WILL BE DONE THROUGH OUR PURCHASING GROUP.

SO WE'RE COORDINATING WITH THEM ON THAT PIECE OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE TAKING PLACE THERE.

THIS IS THE INTRUSION ALARMS. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE THREE CAMPUSES AND A LOT OF THAT IS REPLACING OF THE AGING CABLING, WHICH WE'VE GOT CABLES WITHIN THE SYSTEM, THOSE ARE AGED AND THEY NEED TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.

AND SO THAT'S THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.

OUR DDC CONTROLS EXPECTED WE PRESENTED A 55% REPLACEMENT OF THE PROJECT IS WE'VE GOT ABOUT 55% COMPLETE.

AND OUR PROJECTED COMPLETION DATE FOR THIS IS IN JULY OF 2027.

SO ABOUT A YEAR FROM NOW, WE EXPECT TO BE COMPLETE ON THIS PROJECT.

WALNUT GLEN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE. THE, I CAN SHARE WITH YOU ON THIS PROJECT.

LET ME SEE. WE PLAN ON BRINGING TO YOU. I KNOW THAT LAST TIME WE TALKED, WE ANTICIPATED BRINGING TO YOU A SCHEMATIC DESIGN THIS MONTH THAT HAS SLIPPED SOMEWHAT IN WORKING WITH THE ARCHITECT AND WORKING THROUGH THE DESIGNS OF THIS FACILITY.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE BRING TO YOU IS IN LINE WITH THE VISION OF THIS DISTRICT.

AND SO WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE ARCHITECT, MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO WHAT THEY PRESENTED TO US.

AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO BRING TO YOU A SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION IN JULY, OF WHICH THE FOLLOWING MONTH LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT THERE.

AGAIN, THIS IS THE FACILITY THAT WILL BE A FACILITY THAT WILL HOUSE THE EXISTING HICKMAN ELEMENTARY AND THE WALNUT GLEN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE. THIS IS THE ATHLETIC PACKAGE. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF WORK GOING ON.

THIS IS WHERE WE'RE DOING THE SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND, LAKEVIEW.

WE'VE GOT CONTRACTORS OUT THERE AND A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW WITH THIS ONE.

[00:15:04]

WE'RE REPLACING THE LIGHTS, SPORTS LIGHTING, WE ARE REPLACING THE TRACK, AND WE ARE ADDING SPECTATOR BLEACHERS AND PRESS BOXES FOR SOUTH GARDEN AND LAKEVIEW, BUT WE ARE REPLACING THE PRESS BOX AND BLEACHERS FOR NORTH GARLAND.

AND THIS ALSO COMES WITH CONCESSIONS AND RESTROOMS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, FOR ALL OF OUR SPECTATORS.

I THINK EVERYONE'S GOING TO REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO HOST ALL THESE EVENTS AT OUR CAMPUSES, AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, WHERE TRADITIONALLY WE'VE REALLY STRUGGLED TRYING TO SUPPORT A CAMPUS.

AND WHETHER IT'S FOOTBALL, WHETHER IT'S SOCCER, WHETHER IT'S A TRACK, ANY OF THOSE DIFFERENT EVENTS.

WE'VE REALLY STRUGGLED IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF OUR FACILITIES.

AND SO I WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO THANK OUR VOTERS ONCE AGAIN FOR APPROVING THIS PACKAGE, BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES FOR US IS IT ALLOWS US TO REALLY SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR VERY SPECIFIC HIGH SCHOOL FEEDER PATTERNS, ALLOWING THEM TO EXPERIENCE EXACTLY THAT, THAT HOME FEEL, IF YOU WILL, FOR EACH ONE OF OUR CAMPUSES.

AND SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.

AND WE THINK THAT ONCE WE'RE DONE, I THINK OUR COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE'VE TAKEN PLACE. THIS IS A SOUTH GARLAND.

NORTH GARLAND. THIS IS THE NORTH GARLAND TRACK.

THIS IS FUNNY. I'LL MENTION I THINK I'VE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE.

LANE EIGHT, YOU DID NOT WANT TO BE A RUNNER ON LANE EIGHT.

AS CLOSE AS THAT SPECTATOR BLEACHERS WHERE IF YOU WERE A RUNNER ON LANE EIGHT, YOU COULD ACTUALLY LOSE AN ARM IF YOU WERE RUNNING TOO CLOSE TO THAT FENCE LINE. SO ALL OF THAT'S BEING TAKEN CARE OF.

WE WILL HAVE A VERY NICE FACILITY FOR OUR FOR ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.

AGAIN, THIS IS NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. WE'RE REMOVING ALL OF THAT.

AUSTIN ACADEMY, HOUSTON, JACKSON, THAT PROJECT THERE AS IT'S A TWO-PHASE PROJECT, IF YOU WILL, IT'S TWO PRONG APPROACH. WE'VE GOT A CSP THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF AUSTIN, HOUSTON AND JACKSON, AND THEN WE'VE GOT A ABBOTT AND BRADFIELD. THOSE ARE SWITCHGEAR REPLACEMENTS.

THAT IS A COMBINATION OF DOING EXISTING CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE FOR ELECTRICAL TO REPLACE THE SWITCHGEAR.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT SOME JOCK WORK THAT WE'RE DOING TO REPLACE SOME OF THE DOORS AND HARDWARE ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS.

AND SO A LOT OF WHICH, WHICH ENDED UP BEING AT THE VERY BEGINNING WAS A VERY SIMPLE PROJECT, ENDED UP BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLEX AS WE GOT INTO IT AND REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE WORK THAT NEEDED TO TAKE PLACE HERE, SO. THE NEW MARVIN D. RODENT TECHNOLOGY CENTER THAT ONE IS GOING ALONG REALLY NICELY.

WE'VE GOT WORK TAKING PLACE THERE. SETTERFIELD PONTIKES IS THE CONTRACTOR THAT'S DOING WORK THERE, AND WE'RE PROGRESSING NICELY ON THAT.

WE HAVE STARTED TO DRILL PIERS ON THIS FACILITY, AND SO YOU'LL START SEEING A LOT OF RIGS OUT THERE.

AND OF COURSE, ONCE YOU DO THE PIERS, THEN YOU DO THE GRADE BEAMS AND YOU FINALLY GET TO YOUR FOUNDATION TO WHERE WE CAN START WORKING OUT THERE.

THIS PICTURE HERE SHOWS THE DETENTION POND IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING THAT DETENTION POND HAS NOW IT'S GOT SOME SOD IN IT NOW, SO IT DOESN'T SHOW THE SOD THERE, BUT WE'VE GOT THE DETENTION POND AS PART OF THAT.

SO THERE'S A SEQUENCE THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND.

OUR SITE WORK HAS TO BE AT A CERTAIN POINT BEFORE WE ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS A BUILDING, AND SO WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND.

THE GRCTC ADDITION, WE PROVIDED TO YOU A SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR THAT.

I CAN SHARE THAT WE'VE GOT TWO PIECES TO THIS ONE WE ACTUALLY HAVE SUBMITTED FOR A SITE PERMIT.

SO WE HAVE A SITE PACKAGE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TURNED IN TO THE CITY, AND WE'RE DOING A 50% REVIEW OF THE BUILDING DOCUMENTS THIS WEEK.

AND SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT HERE VERY, VERY NICELY.

SO ANTICIPATE PUSHING THAT OUT AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN.

OUR ROWLETT AND SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS ONE HAS, THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT.

THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT THIS PROJECT, I'LL TELL YOU IS THE DANCE SPACE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WE'VE GOT A COMMITMENT TO OUR TO OUR CONSTITUENCY OF SUPPORTING OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, SUPPORTING OUR FINE ARTS PROGRAMS, NOT ONLY WHEN WE SAY FINE ARTS, FINE ARTS ENCOMPASSES A LOT OF THINGS, ENCOMPASSES BAND, CHOIR, ORCHESTRA. IT ALSO ENCOMPASSES OUR CHEER DANCE PROGRAMS, OUR STEP PROGRAMS. IT INVOLVES A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. AND SO PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE IS MAKING SPACE FOR OUR PROGRAMS, FOR OUR DANCE PROGRAM AT ROWLETT AND SACHSE. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE EXISTING FIELDHOUSES TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WORK.

[00:20:06]

BRANDENBURG, LYLES, O'BANION AND SOUTHGATE, THIS IS PHASE FOUR.

WE ARE STILL WORKING ON A SCOPE TO BUDGET PACKAGE IS BEING DEVELOPED.

AND SO THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING FOR THE REST OF THE PHASE FOUR ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE PHASE FOUR BID PACK FOUR.

WE'RE DOING A SCOPE TO BUDGET IS STILL BEING REVISED.

I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT PACKAGE. THE PARSONS KINDERGARTEN SCENARIO THAT ONE SCOPE TO BUDGET.

IT'S STILL IN DEVELOPMENT FOR THAT ONE. AND I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THE NEW MEMORIAL PATHWAY AND THE MANUEL MARIA VALLE STUDENT SERVICES CENTER.

THIS PARTICULAR ONE WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

IS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THIS PROJECT AND WE RECEIVE BIDS TODAY.

WE HAD A BID OPENING TODAY. AND SO WE'LL BE VETTING THOSE BIDS OUT.

AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN CIRCLE BACK TO YOU AND BRING YOU A VERY COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL THAT WE'LL BRING TO YOU FOR A RECOMMENDATION SO WE CAN GET STARTED ON THIS PROJECT HERE. SO A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS LIGHTING PROJECT, WE HAVE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

YOU CAN SEE THE POLES AND LIGHTS FOR NAAMAN FOREST AND ROWLETT.

THE WORK HAS STARTED TO TAKE PLACE THIS MONTH FOR THE FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL, AND SOFTBALL WILL START IN JULY.

SO WE'VE STARTED THE WORK WE ARE WORKING. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH GP&L FOR THE NAMING PROJECT.

AND THE AND THE REASON WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH GP&L IS THAT WE HAVE ONE OF OUR POLES THAT IS ACTUALLY IN AN EASEMENT FOR GP&L.

AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM FOR THE REMOVAL OF THAT POLE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF COORDINATION THAT'S TAKING PLACE BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GP&L TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS THIS THIS HAPPENS SAFELY.

OUR NEW TRANSPORTATION CENTER AND WORKING THROUGH SOME INFORMATION THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE ARCHITECT THERE, WE ARE STILL GOING THROUGH PROGRAMING, STILL WORKING TO TRY TO GET US TO A SCOPE TO BUDGET, SOMETHING THAT IS PALATABLE FOR US AS A DISTRICT WHEN IT COMES TO THE NEW TRANSPORTATION CENTER.

OUR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL RENOVATION PROJECT, WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH OUR SCOPE TO BUDGET FOR THAT PROJECT AS WELL, WORKING THROUGH. AGAIN, THAT'S A LOT OF ROOF REPLACEMENT THERE.

I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT THERE'S ONE PIECE OF THIS GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S A LITTLE ANOMALY, BUT PART OF THAT IS ACTUALLY THE FIELDHOUSE AT THE WILLIAMS STADIUM.

THAT'S THE GARLAND FIELDHOUSE. AND SO THERE'S SOME WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE, ALONG WITH THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT THE MAIN GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

OKAY. COYLE, HUDSON, SCHRADE, STEPHENS AND WATSON, WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE SCOPE TO BUDGET ON THIS ONE.

SO THAT'S STILL BEING VETTED OUT. AND THE SAME THING WITH OUR TAX OFFICE AND TRANSITION CENTER AND THE PADGETT BUILDING.

WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD MEETINGS WITH WRA WHO'S THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD FOR THIS ONE.

WE'VE GOT THE TRANSITION CENTER AND TAX OFFICE WORKING THROUGH SOME ITEMS THERE.

IF YOU'VE SEEN THAT, IF YOU'VE SEEN THE AERIAL FOR THAT FACILITY.

WE'RE REPLACING THE ROOF ON THAT. AND THAT ROOF IS I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU WHAT DATE THAT ROOF WAS INSTALLED.

THAT'S A VERY, VERY, VERY OLD WHAT WE CALL A PUFF ROOF.

AND THAT'S A VERY, VERY OLD ROOF AND THAT'S GOING TO GET REPLACED AS PART OF THIS.

THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT WE'RE DEALING AT PADGETT RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU GO BY PADGETT, WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES AT PADGETT.

AND OF COURSE, IF YOU DRIVE BY THERE AND YOU GO TO A MEETING, THERE ARE FRONT DRIVE THERE'S A BUNCH OF POTHOLES IN THERE THAT WE HAVE BEEN JUST KIND OF PATCHING. SO I WANT TO THANK MAINTENANCE FOR ALL THE MANY YEARS THAT THEY'VE DONE PATCHING THAT PARKING LOT IN THE FRONT.

BUT, BUT IT HAS GONE BEYOND ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY.

SO THERE'LL BE A NEW PARKING LOT IN THE FRONT CONCRETE AND WORKING THROUGH THE DRAINAGE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE AT THAT FACILITY.

SO THAT'S PART OF WHAT THIS PROJECT ENTAILS. AND THEN THE HARRIS HILL ROOFTOP, EXCUSE ME, HARRIS HILL ROOF REPLACEMENT. WE ARE, WE'VE GOT PRETTY CLOSE TO SUBMITTING A SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR THAT.

WE WILL BE IN BUDGET FOR THAT PIECE, AND THEN WE'LL BE COORDINATING WITH ADMINISTRATION.

THAT WILL BE A CSP AS WELL. THAT WILL BE PUSHING OUT WITH OUR PURCHASING GROUP.

AND THEN LASTLY, OUR PROP C WORK THAT IS BEING MANAGED THROUGH OUR TECHNOLOGY GROUP.

YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S ACQUIRING THERE. OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOL DEPLOYMENTS STARTED.

WE'LL START IN JULY AND WE'LL GO THROUGH AUGUST AND OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF LAPTOPS, THEY'VE COMMENCED THIS MONTH AND WILL GO THROUGH DECEMBER.

[00:25:11]

BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT PRESENTATION? MR. GLICK THANK YOU, SIR. WE HAD TALKED WHEN WE FIRST PROPOSED THE BOND TO REMOVE THE PORTABLES AT ELEMENTARY. ARE WE DOING THAT? AND IS THAT COMPLETED IN THE WORKS? I'M NOT SURE.

I HAVEN'T REALLY HEARD MUCH ABOUT IT. THANK YOU. IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION TRUSTEE GLICK.

AND THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION. YES, THAT IS PART OF THE BOND PROGRAM.

THERE IS WORK THAT SO FAR, THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE WITH ELEMENTARY PORTABLES IS THE PORTABLES THAT WERE TIED TO ANY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED.

THOSE HAVE BEEN REMOVED. THEY'VE BEEN DEMOED. WE DID DO A COUPLE OF PORTABLES WITH A DONATION WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND THAT WE'VE GOTTEN RID OF.

BUT PREDOMINANTLY THE MAJORITY OF THE OF THE PORTABLES FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THEY ARE STILL AT THE FACILITIES.

WE HAVE PURPOSELY DELAYED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT SO THAT WE CAN USE SOME OF THOSE AS SWING SPACE.

I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, NORTHLAKE ELEMENTARY WE ARE USING THOSE PORTABLES, WHICH ARE EXISTING PORTABLES AS SWING SPACE AS WE WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE BECAUSE WE'RE COMPLETELY CHANGING THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE SWINGING CLASSES IN AND OUT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING OVER TO THE PORTABLES AS SHORT TERM, AND THEN THEY'LL COME BACK IN AND WE'LL SWING OTHER STUDENTS, OTHER CLASSROOMS IN THERE. SO HAVING THOSE AT THEIR CURRENT FACILITIES IS IMPORTANT FOR US AT THE MOMENT. AS WE GET TO THAT POINT, ONCE WE GET TO A THRESHOLD THAT WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL NOT BE UTILIZING THESE PORTABLES ANYMORE, WE HAVE, WE'VE, WE HAVE CONTRACTS IN PLACE TO DEMO THOSE PORTABLES WHERE THEY ARE.

AND SO WE'LL GET RID OF THOSE ELEMENTARY PORTABLES.

NOW JUST FOR EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND, THE BOND PROGRAM HAS DOLLARS FOR THE ELEMENTARY PORTABLES.

WE DID NOT WE DID NOT APPROVE THE PORTABLE REPLACEMENT AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL OR THE PORTABLE DEMOLITION AT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS, AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. THAT IS THE INTENT IS TO STILL MAINTAIN THOSE AT THOSE FACILITIES AT THIS TIME.

OKAY, SO AT SOME POINT, MAYBE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS, WE'LL START HEARING ABOUT THE PORTABLES BEING REMOVED AT THE ELEMENTARIES.

WOULD THAT BE A FAIR STATEMENT? SOONER THAN THAT.

SOONER THAN SOONER THAN THAT. YES, SIR. OKAY.

KEEP GOING. IS THAT OKAY? GRCTC. WE HAVE TWO SITES.

ARE WE PERMITTING BOTH SITES ALREADY? NORTH, I'M GOING TO CALL IT NORTH AND SOUTH FOR DIRECTIONAL PURPOSES.

ARE WE DOING BOTH PARTS OF THE GTC RIGHT NOW? GRCTC. WHEN YOU SAY. IS THE CONFERENCE CENTER HERE AND THE OTHER.

TWO BUILDINGS. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. IT'S ALL AT ONE.

IT'S ALL ONE PACKAGE. AND GOING SIMULTANEOUSLY? SORRY, COULD YOU REPEAT THAT QUESTION? ARE THEY GOING TO BE HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY? YES, SIR. THEY WILL. SO THEY WILL BE HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY.

HOWEVER WE WILL BE TURNING THOSE OVER TO THE DISTRICT IN DIFFERENT SEQUENCE.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TURN OVER BECAUSE OF WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROJECT.

WE'RE WANTING TO TURN OVER THE STUDENT AREA, THE ACADEMIC AREA FIRST, AND THEN WE WILL BE TURNING OVER THE CONFERENCE AREA LATER.

OKAY, COULD YOU TALK ALSO ABOUT REPURPOSING? I'M GOING TO CALL IT THE WEIGHT ROOMS. YOU SAID AT ROWLETT AND SACHSE. WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? IS THAT GOING TO BE YOU SAID FINE ARTS DANCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE HAVE A WE HAVE A FACILITY. SO OUR FIELD HOUSES AT ROWLETT AND SACHSE.

IF YOU GO BACK AND TAKE A STEP BACK ON HOW THIS THIS DISTRICT EVOLVED OVER TIME.

THIS DISTRICT EVOLVED OVER TIME WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS, DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES ON HOW TO BUILD HIGH SCHOOLS.

AND SO ONE OF THE, AT THE TIME WE BUILT ROWLETT AND SACHSE, WHICH WAS A GREAT PHILOSOPHY.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THE FIELDHOUSES THEMSELVES, THEY HOUSE TODAY, THEY HOUSE THE WEIGHT ROOM AND THEY HOUSE THE LOCKER ROOMS, THE FOOTBALL LOCKER ROOMS AND THE TRAINING ROOM AND THE COACHES OFFICES.

AND SO THEY HOUSE ALL OF THIS SPACE WITHIN THAT OUTSIDE OF.

SO IT'S A SEPARATE BUILDING NOT TIED TO THE BUILDING.

TAKE A LITTLE STEP IN TIME BACKWARDS. YOU CAN SEE HOW WE DID LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.

WE BUILT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL AT THE TIME. AND I SAY I WASN'T HERE BACK IN 1976, BUT AT THE TIME WE BUILT LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, THOSE LOCKER ROOMS AND THOSE WEIGHT ROOMS WERE ALL PART OF THE EXISTING BUILDING.

AND SO WE FOCUSED EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF. ROWLETT AND SACHSE SEPARATE BUILDINGS.

THOSE TWO BUILDINGS ARE A LITTLE OVER 18,000FT².

SO THE QUESTION IS, WE'RE MOVING THESE INDOOR FACILITIES ARE MULTI-PURPOSE.

[00:30:06]

THEN THERE'S A FIELDHOUSE PORTION OF IT, IT, WHAT WE CALL A FIELD HOUSE, WHICH IS THE LOCKER ROOM PORTIONS THAT IS GOING TO SUPPORT OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAM, OUR BASEBALL OR SOCCER OR TRACK OUR.

SO THOSE, TRACK AND FIELD, IF YOU WILL, THOSE LOCKER ROOMS ARE GOING TO BE THERE.

WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR EXISTING FIELD HOUSES? SO DO YOU RAISE THEM? THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. THAT'S A GREAT FACILITY.

WE WANT TO ENCOMPASS. WE WANT TO TAKE PORTIONS OF THAT AND TO UTILIZE PORTIONS OF THAT FOR DANCE.

SOME OF THE WEIGHT ROOMS, THE EXISTING WEIGHT ROOMS AT ROWLETT AND SACHSE, THOSE WOULD REMAIN WITHIN THAT FIELDHOUSE.

SO, BUT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THIS FIELD HOUSE TO REALLY SERVE MORE THAN ONE PROGRAM.

BECAUSE IF TODAY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIELDHOUSES, THEY'RE A FIELDHOUSE. THEY SUPPORT ONE PROGRAM, ATHLETICS. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS CHANGING THAT FIELDHOUSE TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE PROGRAMS, NOT JUST THE ATHLETICS, THE ATHLETICS, THE DANCE.

AND TODAY THERE'S A CONCESSION PIECE TO IT. WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THAT ALONE.

THERE'S A SPECTATOR RESTROOM AREA. WE'RE LEAVING THAT ALONE BECAUSE YOU STILL NEED THAT TO SUPPORT THE OTHER PROGRAMS. AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH ALL THAT WITH OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS, WITH OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS.

AND TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WE BRING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY A VIABLE SOLUTION FOR THAT BUILDING.

AND SO THAT'S STILL BEING REFINED. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW WITH OUR CAMPUS PRINCIPALS TO VET THAT SPECIFIC THING OUT WITH THEM. I THINK IT'S PRETTY EXCITING. AT SOME POINT, WILL WE SEE A MOCK UP OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE? WE CAN. ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. AND ONE FINAL QUESTION.

WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION CENTER.

YES. ARE WE AT A POINT WHERE WE'RE READY TO REVEAL OR NOT REVEAL THE LOCATION? I THINK WE'LL HOLD OFF ON THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE STILL, WE'RE WORKING ON A SITE LOOKING AT A SITE STILL LOOKING FOR SOME A LITTLE BETTER SITE, BUT IT MAY STILL BE THAT ONE SIGHT THAT WE'RE AT.

SO THANK YOU SIR. ANY OTHER TRUSTEES? MR.. BEACH.

SO, JAVIER, WE'RE PRETTY DEEP NOW INTO THIS BOND PROGRAM.

AND MY QUESTION MAYBE TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE WE'VE APPROVED.

WE'RE THANKFUL THAT YOU'RE RUNNING THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, WITH ALL THE PROJECTS THAT ARE INDIVIDUAL, THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES THAT WE HAVE APPROVED.

ARE THEY ARE THEY STILL MEETING THE EXPECTATIONS THAT YOU WERE HOPING FOR IN THIS BOND PROGRAM? THAT'S MY QUESTION TO YOU. JUST A YES OR NO, BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STILL ON BOARD.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH A I WENT THROUGH A PROGRAM BEFORE ON THE BOND PROGRAM WHERE WE WEREN'T REAL HAPPY WITH SOME OF THE VENDORS. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STILL INDIVIDUALLY. AND THE ONES THAT WE'VE APPROVED AS A BOARD ARE STILL ON BOARD WITH US AND ARE STILL DOING THE JOB THAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS MEET.

YES. THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, THE SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YES.

I REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE DEAL WITH THAT WE ARE UNIQUE.

WE ARE GARLAND AND WE HAVE A HIGH EXPECTATION HERE.

THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO HEAR. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE BEING MET.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISS STANLEY. THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. PERMITTING FOR THE THE AG BUILDING IS IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE BEEN PERMITTING FOR A WHILE.

ARE WE HAVING ANOTHER SNAFU WITH IT? BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WE WERE HAVING STRUGGLES WITH GARLAND, BUT THAT'S BEEN RESOLVED. BUT IS IT? ARE WE GETTING WHAT WE NEED FROM THEM? SO TRUSTEE STANLEY, THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION. IT'S A VERY FAIR QUESTION, AND I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING THAT QUESTION. SO I CAN I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT WE, WE EARLY ON HAD SOME INITIAL MEETINGS WITH THE CITY OF SACHSE AND HAD GAINED AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE FACILITY WAS, WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO USE THE FACILITY FOR. AND WE PROCEEDED TO MAKE ALL OF OUR DESIGNS AND FROM THE ARCHITECT STANDPOINT, AND OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THAT AND SUPPORTED US WITH A GOOD ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE WORK NEEDED TO TAKE PLACE.

SO WHAT WE HAVE UNCOVERED WITH THE CITY OF SACHSE IS ACTUALLY, THEY'VE COME BACK BASICALLY AND SAID THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE A STORM SHELTER FOR ONE OF OUR BUILDINGS. AND SO WE ARE WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHERE THE CITY SACHSE, WE UNDERSTAND THEIR POSITION, WE UNDERSTAND HOW THEY INTERPRET ICC 500, WHICH IS A, ICC 500, WHICH IS A STANDARD OF HOW STORM SHELTERS ARE BUILT, WHICH BLEEDS INTO THE IBC, WHICH IS THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE.

THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE ACTUALLY TAKES ITS DIRECTION FROM THE ICC THAT, THAT BODY.

[00:35:05]

AND SO WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THEM. AND I REALLY FEEL THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO BRING BACK TO YOU A REALLY GOOD REPORT ONCE WE'RE ONCE WE'RE FINISHED WITH, WITH THIS WORK THAT WE NEED TO TAKE PLACE.

SO ARE WE, JUST SO I KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD THE STORM SHELTER, IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, THE PROJECT NEVER HAD A STORM SHELTER INCLUDED WITHIN IT.

THAT WAS NEVER FUNDED WITHIN THAT. AND WHAT'S THE THOUGHT PROCESS? I MEAN, YOU. I'M NOT CODE, SO I DON'T KNOW. BUT WHY WOULD THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN SAY THAT WE NEED IT? I MEAN, IF WE NEEDED IT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF OUR RULES, CORRECT? I MEAN, BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING STORM SHELTERS IN IN THE NEW BUILDINGS WE'RE BUILDING THAT REQUIRE THEM.

I'M JUST CONFUSED AS TO WHY. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

AND THE WORD, THE WORD YOU USE THERE IS REQUIRE.

AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT WORD. OKAY. THANK YOU.

MR. GLICK. CAN THE SHOW ARENA ACT AS A STORM SHELTER OR ARE THEY SAYING NO? NO, THIS IS A METAL BUILDING. OH, SO WE CAN'T RECONSTRUCT REPURPOSE THE SHOW ARENA IN DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS? NO, THE INITIAL DESIGN HAS A, THESE ARE ALL METAL BUILDINGS.

THE SHOW ARENA, THE BUILDINGS FOR OUR ANIMALS.

EVERYTHING ITSELF IS A VERY TRADITIONAL METAL BUILDING.

THESE ARE THE PROJECT THAT WE THAT WE INTENDED TO BUILD THERE OR STILL INTEND TO BUILD IS A VERY TRADITIONAL AG CENTER TYPE OF BUILDING, WHICH IS, WHICH IS TYPICALLY THESE ARE ALL METAL BUILDING STRUCTURES BECAUSE THEY'RE OPEN ANIMALS.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE WE WENT THROUGH THE MAX, WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH THE CITY OF SACHSE AND WE'LL GET THIS PROJECT BACK ON TRACK. SO THAT'S REALLY KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE PROJECT.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION. IS THAT ISSUE. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT JUST CAME UP IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS OR LAST MONTH, OR IS THAT ALWAYS BEEN THERE AND WE'VE JUST NOT TALKED ABOUT IT? NO, IT HASN'T BEEN THERE. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S COME UP DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS, JUST KIND OF LIKE THE SAME WAY. SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THEM.

AND WE'LL, WE WILL HAVE A KIND OF A SIT DOWN MEETING REAL QUICK AND WORK THROUGH WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

SO IT IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM AND WE'LL GET THIS BACK WHERE WE NEED TO GO.

YEAH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SACHSE MAX SPECIFICALLY, THEY DETERMINED AT SOME POINT THAT A STORM SHELTER WAS NEEDED TO BE PART OF THAT PROJECT AS WELL. AND WE HAD TO WORK THROUGH THAT WITH THEM, GO THROUGH AND EVENTUALLY THEIR CODE COMPLIANCE PEOPLE DROPPED THE REQUIREMENT AND DETERMINED IT WAS AN ATHLETIC FACILITY, NOT A CLASSROOM FACILITY. CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. AND WE'RE TRYING TO SAY THIS IS AN AGRICULTURAL FACILITY AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY IT'S A CLASSROOM FACILITY. CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. SAME ISSUE. WE JUST GOT TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.

STAY TUNED. MISS GRIFFIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MY MONEY'S ON US. SHE'S INDICATED SHE DOES NOT.
