listen their cost is included so you can see just what we're talkin about so far leaves us about 2.7 million dollars in our facility fund to find anything further there are a few projects on the list that I haven't put a car nothing major so that's pretty much going to be the number that we're looking at going forward through this year I'll make sure to keep me updated so we can just take a scroll through and see how I'm doing this than utk classrooms is the biggest project we have going on by Farhan the. You know we have to there's a lower age 40K so we had to add classrooms coming up on starting in 2324 school year we're going to be doing them with existing locations with new classrooms to go into play starting next summer in the summer of 23 with about a year-long construction process and I put a price of each School up there on the top then the pictures are just going to show the location of where the new classrooms are projected nothing's absolute absolutely finalized yet but those are pretty good ideas of where everything's going to be over on the right the next one is exterior what kind of lighting excuse me that shows what we've been talking about recently and it was brought up earlier in the meeting with rtmps that's what those are paying for high school middle school and elementary schools are done as three different projects and I'm going to post excuse me. Like a summary record for each one there's a Farragut one that's listed on there so far if you want to click that Rebecca you can yeah and it's just it shows the pictures they are the contractors were going through and taking before pictures and then you scroll down to the next page and you got after pictures so they're just going to be a whole lot of that listed free school I'll put a school up as they're finishing I get the picture so you can close at 1. next one we have down at the electronic entry intercom systems there's been a lot of discussion and request for that lately I don't have any nice pictures or Graphics but you can see the estimated cost as with the safety glass this is all it's been put in place already has we've ordered it we started the contractors and we're just waiting for everything to come in safety glass the next one down is the same thing we're doing that in two different phases middle school high school Farragut adult school or first and that should be done relatively soon. It's literally in production so we're just waiting for delivery and then we'll get those in phase two will be the other for elementary schools that will do after that next Monday I'll run the right we are adding the HVAC systems to the three School offices that don't yet have it they weren't done during any of the original processes that's Farragut El Rincon in High School main offices play a large costume that about 1.6 million dollars that difficulty with HVAC installation as always is getting access to the facility we have to move people out if we're going to do it during the school year or wait until next summer we're looking at both of those options give me the next one over on the right the entire high school and middle school campuses are being painted next summer will be putting that out of bed probably in January or February to have the work done that summer color to what we've done at the elementary schools over the past three or four or five years when we were doing one a year will do the entire campus is there right now the project is just for exterior painting at the we have had a recent request to look at interior class general e r r m o t painters will do those but if we're going to look at the type of project we want to paint every single interior classroom and in the high school and middle school will do that with a contractor again so we'll keep an eye on that going forward fighting when's the next number the next one down at the gym bleachers in the high school if you've been in there at all recently and now they're kind of old and rickety and not the greatest things in the world so we've been looking at options to replace them and finally that went forward really over the summer we started that and again we're just waiting for our delivery and in a chance to put them in right now the plan is to do it over the winter break and just replace all of them on both sides of the baseball gym pictures up there to after we get done on the next one down at the lunch shelter and I don't have any pictures of diagrams with this we're still doing we're still working on planning for this but it's in GSA planning so once that gets approved I'll be able to put everything up in that what's a shade structure down in that open area high school eating area next one is high school blacktop that's been a request from the high school itself so we're going to go ahead and do that next summer that black tops all the way in the back from the Iran gate all the way over to the science building basically you can see how I kind of painted the outline or just going to redo the blacktop all out there and do repainting us all the lines in Sports basketball courts that'll be next summer little bit expensive $675,000 to do it all at once that big are you have grouped under cchs athletic projects these were the ones I was referring to buy the Goodyear estate donation hello. Rebecca asked so there's three main components to this at this point there's a Stadium Field breast which has actually been planned for many years we just haven't had the ability to do it there's a team and film room that's being put in off the practice field in the back and then there's a new weight room that's what exchange is going it also backup Daryl on the practice field for the diagram there is just the architect layout of where the potential locations are for those rooms we're doing ground sampling on those right now and we expect the words to be done on the rooms scuse me the reward should be done on the two rooms by next summer and I think the box is already in process so as soon as I have some more for their information on those timelines I'll put those up again those projects are being covered by the Goodyear estate donation except for a remaining balance of about $190,000 next one down our athletic fields at the high school exit high school and middle school. There's been a lot of requests for those cuz they're not in Play The Shape especially the baseball field in the softball field in live actually already approved the restoration projects for both of those relatively low cost about $20,000 each and I was just emailing with mr. Salter and one of the couches. high school earlier today about the progress on that as soon as we have an update all get back on that once the main High School stadium football field artificial turf for what I think about seven or eight years ago and will putting that in the timeline it doesn't need to be replaced until the end of its current lifespan and for the contract and manage manufacturers in the warranty and everything we're going to plan for the summer of 2026 that'll be a big projects that's why I want to make sure to keep an eye on that one keep it on the project list the next one down is Lynn have kind of a smaller project but Lynn how is put the picnic tables outside of their cafeteria area to a Baltimore outdoor eating and what used to be a grassy area his kind of turned into a dirt area so we're going to replace that or actually going to install artificial turf with an outside groundskeeping contractor cost is thirty two dollars it should be starting a nice what did he say the first or second week of November they'll be doing that and it only takes about a week so we expect to have that probably by Thanksgiving breakfast and I know that students will appreciate and enjoy especially in response to in of the two recent flooding we've had nothing supply lines give me entire District are now being replaced as we talked about before and that's just a matter of going around to every sink in the district the cost isn't that much we had ground staff doing it at first but it kind of became a little too much especially since we haven't been able to replace our own plumber so we've been contracting out the rest of the schools and those are ongoing right now and that's just kind of a sample picture of what it looks like under the 6th these are just in most of our classrooms in the district especially at the elementary school there's a sink if you seen those and it's just the water supply line from the shut-off valve to the faucet underneath this thing going to make sure those are all brand new and then lastly on the list or project list is one of our more challenging project the ceiling tiles and it's been a lot of mention of that you can see there's kind of an ugly picture down there at what's happening in our classrooms are glued to the ceiling to the under the under ceiling I need a visa that he's just been wearing off for the last couple years until the child is starting to randomly saw Doug recommendation on the master plan when this first came to our attention was replaced them all and I think we talked about this before right replacing I'm just became too much of an issue because you don't want to just glue new ones up there going to fall down again and screwing them all into place would just be really kind of an impossible tasks we've been looking for alternatives I think we talked about this also at what to put on the ceiling after we take those down we're putting those conversations on hold while we just get a contractor to go through and start pulling them all down them all down and get him out of the way and then what's a replacement weather how to redesign I'll just be a second part project after that I should be starting really any day now and then actually the last thing I put on the list which isn't really a project of the custodial comes up so much and I just put a list of our existing custodial staff and you can see where we've added contract workers for the high school in the day for the high school at night and then several full-time contractors in the day and evening at the elementary school then you can just kind of see what our normal stuff is elementary schools we generally right now we're going for two during the day and Sue at night it doesn't always been like that but because of everything that's going on we've added those contracts persons two of the kind of chip in and help with them and dice phone Middle School we're just giving them as many as many as they need right now with a focus on the night times because that's where a lot of it work and really happen so that's all I have on the list for now there are guns again on the project summary list that I just have it written up skirt diagrams for so I'll keep creating Pages for those and again I'll add that contact I'm looking forward to that because then people don't have to wait for a board meeting or something to bring up their concerns they can just contact us will make sure to keep this updated on a regular basis don't have any questions are, how we're going to handle this with questions and comments from the board and potentially from the audience because it seems to me that this item really I'm going on for very long time and we are proposing to bring it back and head is it ever so my suggestion would eat that we try to limit ourselves to just a few minutes each what do you think are the most immediate thing and the rest of it do in the form of send an email to miss you play the next one of these could you please cover these two thanks I'll see you in a little bit we see do we have members of the audience to raise their hands for okay that's not too bad let's try to keep that to a couple of minutes each and again same thing for you folks that you're welcome to send an email and ask him to be at the next board meeting if you want, so we'll know what questions are being asked by let's do born first and then we'll take the members of the audience will see if anybody in the morning so thank you for putting this all together I know it was a lot of work and you mentioned this Williams thank you Miss Williams for helping make this happen so just a few things you've mentioned on one of the project the new baseball field does that include what's now like the flag football field at the middle school and if so or if not I know there's a serous drainage issue that's going to be a separate project needs a lot more intense. It's the way it's kind sunken down at this point cuz I'll be honest well the Middle School is without the system so they're working with it as it as they still don't want a secondary bell ringing is my understanding I'm continuing to visit that with them and the PA system yes they do if theirs is the main thing is if there's an emergency thank you for addressing that 35-40 developer fees listed as 5 million we had more than that and developer fees right now that's where it is cuz we've been spending it that's one of our primary ones we spend so a lot of the work developer fees just that's been sitting there so we we've been spending different can use it for the same type of construction projects in the is it at the high school there was a huge leak in the media center is Ben also some tickets and just a couple more things the work orders and being able to track those would that be also added to the website not made me for external tracking but for site administrators to know when the work orders have been submitted where that's my main like I kind of have to work with them because they actually can through the schooldude work order system they can go in and check the status of their own work order so I think I just kind of need to work with them so they understand how to do it thank you for that and if we could have because I've heard from site administrators so we could close the gap between what they're seeing and what we're being told I think that would be helpful just so there's 360 and just to things with artificial turf I'm not an environmentalist specialist but I know that there can be it can be harmful for the environment and there is concern about runoff from the artificial materials is there a different is Dubai there different kinds of artificial turf that we're looking at that is not harmful to the environment and an Ardent it's a relatively small area we're doing a lindhaus it was not okay I just want to make sure that asked me starts cuz there was a project at the middle school that was a little bit larger and I just want to make sure that we're being mindful as we are repressed things even dirt or actual grass or artificial turf for mine that animal  thing is actually about the custodial staff and you can you can make a note and then follow up later bugs what is our system for training custodial staff as their higher do they have regular meetings are there all brought together and put it on the same page about how to clean the facilities what the expectations are allowed to use the materials and in addition to that who is responsible for supervising custodians is it the site administrator is the custodial supervisor and do the custodians all understand who they are accountable to be easier for me to bring back information to but yes there are all when they come on board their trains occasionally throughout the years supervision of custodial staff has always been a little strange because it's actually both its its site admin and the mot department so it's a the mot Department with a custodial soup why is there is the general supervisor and in the site admin takes care of the other day today and supervision of what they're actually doing concerts when the new custodian comes in because I think we've different campuses and Tennessee different for the most part of working really hard and it also want us to be mindful as a district and maybe this can be something that's going to go I know that we have parents who were really involved and students who are really involved with environmental sustainability and sometimes I do see them the conversation thing had directly with a custodian about you know breeding you know it's at the trash and making sure that students are the starting their ways properly and if there can be more support given to the custodians and just some clarity across the board for terracide administrators custodians on wiper relay that information providing a proper training because it is a lot when there's one custodian for 600 students there cleaning tables weeping and also monitoring the trash cans though if we can absolutely have a tear on that I appreciate it thank you so much for the thank you I will save questions and just Express such sincere appreciation appreciation for the work that went into this and that will continue to go into a transformative I mean it's going to make such a big impact on on the Public's understanding as well as their ability to the road and in support of the war what is going on on the campuses and I hope we're we're filling in gaps with contractors but we're still struggling do you do you know what is a Cooper and see what's going on and again it's just this is just fantastic on so many levels and I also want to Express gratitude at the board played a role in encouraging this to happen and I'll have I'll have more to say in the future thank you I just just went to Echo a doctor chance that I am very very grateful to the cabinet and whoever helped put together this website I think that this is exactly the best it can you came to the right conclusion to the put in a website and to possibly maintain the website website and just show the progress that all the work that we're doing and I do agree that this needs to be a standing agenda item and maybe on the days that it comes you know like next week you can present some of this stuff that any question that was asked this week and then you have two weeks to look into it and that be your your follow-up and my only concern is that as we can we start engaging in contractors in these project if it's a question about sustainability is being a cost for example I know who is that when I asked my Gardner headache and I'm putting it on my backyard she was like no you're not too legal right now because you can't water it right now you're only allowed to water it twice a day and if you're putting you grass you need to water it every day for a couple months so I just I just hope that the work that we're doing if there is a sustainability component that we continued to and rested on the website the things we we we looked into we found no asbestos or we looked into putting brass we can do it because of the water in issue as things like that come up it would be great to us a website so that a record like why didn't we do something well we looked into him we couldn't I think it's fabulous thank you I will just add shoe one quick question which is actually the side is up on the screen right now the other things we are it was all pretty clear what the timing was for when those things are happening here with staff are these the extra contract do we have to delete this card to get enough custodian right now are those recent or those things we've had for a while with the timing of when we added a new contract most of the contract recent especially the one that's two additional at the three elementary schools were just out of those last week actually last week or the beginning of the Middle School we've had some but we've been adding more as we've just had issues with my Staffing I don't want to make you sound like older give me theirs offices suggestions and my suggestion is that you put something on there that makes it easy for staff students in public to ask a question or identify something do what's happening I know that you were somebody works for you Caesars and then at the next board meeting or whenever by the next board meeting you to update the website to answer that question when where the other websites to know that it is the school website not for the old habits we have a few in a row and then are we having I'll let you know when we reach 20 minutes let's keep an eye on how many do you want call Ray long Angela police desk hi Maurice this thank you for the presentation just for this 2 minutes I'm going to keep this real silver I want to we have a timeline on the ceiling tiles at the high school I'm too with the baseball and softball fields at the middle school are we talking about putting Turf in or natural grass and I might have missed it but was there a plan for that Middle School field the one that spot behind the back Jim I'm the third thing is but I want to focus more on his the PK classroom at Farragut because I've heard from several staff at Farragut so just looking at the map it looks like this building is going to be plopped right in front of the school which is kind of an open space right now in front of the administration building is that the case was that the best place to put it is it a one-story building or a two-story building because if it's a two-story building that could be problematic 40K because I think there's something in the Edwards on certain grades going to be upstairs so I'm just curious as that one story or two story if we looked at any alternatives because I just think of popping a big building right there on that kind of nice grass are in front of Farragut I don't know if there was any other alternatives to that so I'm a lot of the staff and expressed concerns about that just kind of how it looks being popped in front of the school and staff at Farragut were also concerned if it was a true story building a house that with that service the T K students because I don't think they're allowed to be upstairs thank you we didn't talk about this but I don't want to answer each person is thinking about that's okay with me graduate building many options were looked at on the Farragut campus this was the one decided decided by the architect in the designers as the best option the other ones were like interfering with plague find out in the back and things like that and it has gone through the Farragut Administration and I believe she's shared it out when their staff and family at some point if the one-story building out a two-story building Angela followed by Julie followed by Stephanie Loretto good evening thank you for this presentation I have a couple questions regarding to teach a classroom where are the Amazon assuming that in the fall we were adding more preschool Pre-K classrooms so where are walking struction is happening where those going to be I'm also According to some of the diet preschool classrooms on the outline sites are going to be affected so I'm wondering where those preschool questions being moved to thank you the side know maybe I should we should probably do a separate presentation sometime on the classroom project we do have plans for where to put the other classrooms the enrollment is going to be only increasing by a little bit next year so we don't need as much space we probably should go out an agenda items and information presentation on that have the designer in the architecture so they can answer all those questions thank you is what I can see thank you for giving me a chance to speak I just wanted to say that I to the back to school night for the first time in a long time at the beginning of this year and was unbelievably shocked at the condition of the school next to use condom water fountain cockroaches everywhere trash everywhere ceiling tiles falling I just say I was very sick stated at the beginning of this year on trying to rescue honors at the school that's one of my primary areas of concern but I kind of got off of that cuz I'm like oh my God my daughter is going to school with maggots rats cockroaches urine feces and stinky trash also the PE teachers made a presentation about how service trucks are driving to the PE area which dangerous according to them I don't understand why we would spend even one penny I don't I don't I don't think we should be spending any more money on sports facilities I think that's ridiculous or not like Friday Night Lights I don't know why you said so much money on that Facebook let me know football field but now doesn't let us go there for the fireworks thing I don't know why we need to spend any more money at the primary focus of the school really is to be a place of 3 minutes just shameful to think that that I'm even want my daughter to go there even one more day with kids are trying to lure rats into their backpacks they're feeding the rats I have pictures of the kids feeding the rats giving the kids giving the rats water like what's going on you're like I don't think we should spend one penny on any more crazy surveys or talk about housing staff anywhere when we can't even do a good job or not we're doing a terrible job of housing the students right now who would want their landlord it just seems like insane I don't know why we can't get like somebody to come in and take care of the Vermin rest I heard there was a raccoon in the bench ventilation system for 6 months last year stinking up the place Stephanie and seagulls I thank you for this Mister Quinn I think it's one stuffed and towards more transparency for the district I would love it if you could talk a little bit about how you may work with the ESC that and the future is D coordinator I'm in and how that my workout I know that right now by the last meeting that we went to that they have some water so anxious / fountain water fountains that have been donated by the basement that have not been in I'll do don't have a plan to be installed and I think that it's difficult to think about something a resource like that that is still needed on the high school campus and and that would save also plastic from being or single Azteca from being on our campuses and it's not being used yet so I think that also when we get donations like that we should be able to install them as fast as possible especially when we have that need because we may not be able to take advantage of their Nations like that in the future so thank you not considering what the question was I do meet with our sustainability coordinator armed temporary person on a regular basis to make sure we're talking about all of our projects she fills me in on what happens at the meetings if I can't get to him so we do keep a a good eye and a good communication flow going on that I know is water station we are waiting for them to be installed we don't have a staff plumber right now cuz we're struggling to fill that position like some other ones so they kind of just have been put on hold and get somebody to do that addressing it with mot on a regular basis to make sure it's staying on their priority list okay and finally seagulls you muted yourself after I'm meeting try again try one more time I see you on using a meeting but for some reason we are not hearing you sometimes they ear bones if you have earphones are just not working and if he'd try removing that might help with the audio if the other option is not the other option is to call in and then we can come back to you even though we're on another item sometimes calling on the phone helps board members see if there's any follow-up and then we'll see one more time and I'm trouble with the name as well and you can always email the question as you're going to ask that it be discuss the following okay so does anybody have a quick one but I wanted to just quickly I appreciate that you suggested bringing back the Tek costumes as a standing item because I am curious how the decision was made to place them or their place while also considering other needs we may have in the future so if that can be included that would be great and I just you didn't respond when one of the audience members mentioned about the priorities of Athletics versus other things and you had mentioned this earmark donation from the Goodyear family really quickly at least if you have the numbers here and tell us of the stuff that's going on for the athletic fields still at ease and so forth. What part of it is 84 by the donation that was earmarked and what part is coming out of money that could be spent on something else to share the restoration of the two field is about 20000 per field so that 40,000 will come out of our regular money our facility the bigger projects the cost is about 4.2 million and the donation is 4 million so we're covering about 190,000 of that okay thank you one thing when I said I'm going to put the contact on there and you mentioned a couple times people can contact Robert going to bring me to you don't they don't have to wait for another meeting so it's some have the facility question they can email me and I'll be happy to answer on the not necessarily tell them they have to wait until aborting just a little clarification when you do that to pay attention to whether the things that you and individually might also be something you should mention at the Port put on the website because it looks like you're on some muted on lab stripes the phone and I'm sorry the Technology's not working location let's move on to the next Side of the Moon if we could so that's presentation for revised proposal that is special there's no presentation tonight. Just some for your touch there as a comparison to 10.65 this is the bed The Proposal that was presented to us two weeks ago and I thought the board would wanted to have that here at 7 a matter of record but before we introduce with your permission before we introduce and when sick take a few minutes to kind of walk through the overall Next Step based on what Mystic wanted to share that is okay so what I want to be mindful of allowing comments in support of so we're one of you go through what you want to show and then maybe we'll take their our audience coming specific to 10.5 Mabel thank you so I am grateful for the hard work that was put together by Miss Quinn and then the staff to put everything up front and in a very serious matter for our public and our staffing Board of Education to the complexity of what we talkin about and in terms of massive amount of investment that we would need to address for cilty concerned so tonight I'm going to stop at the saying that we do have to account for the last month to do is support it intended did measure c c 106 million dollars is totally spent and the record of that is part of our district archives that we can share with the public should that become a necessity we didn't I think almost one-hundred $500,000 master plan that we published in 2019 detailing what are some of the things that is needed to be done so that it would make our school a better place for Learning and teaching and the price came in at that time was based on the 2018 kind of a market setting and published in 2019 and that price tag is about 900 million dollars so that's the first grade that I have on my ice cream tonight in the presentation be shown on the okay thank you thank you for reminding me sometime I've got so with the next time if I could ask Miss willing to advance it so the communication tonight is actually to link from that very first step which is to you to be accountable for the last as well as a facility master plan and the price hack that is associated with bring it to the the modern modernizations and but more importantly over the course of the last few years we looking at the the need for repair replace and maintained up off of Stila tea so there's an issue there's current issues going on right now and there's future building rebuilding will be needed but the past present and future is actually being addressed with the with the with the website of Michigan is put together if I could have the next thing we have a small amount of Revenue r stand for revenue is this time Robert is about to point 7 2.7 million dollars right now so we have about 2.7 million dollars to address D the person that we need the training that I've stopped 22 to care to maintain face and the stepping up accountability in the training for our supervisory staff as well and also. You can see with me in the house or saying the additional stopping me from a 2.7 million dollars sitting in and in our account right now is Fizz what what do seeing on the screen but that's only addressing the the repair replace and maintain or the future need which is what the 2009 master plan is is guiding us I need to go straight to the world for sometime in the future if I can have the next rain possibly in the month of November 2024 to raise mass of my Revenue to take Neymar the plan of 2019 all of those itemized items to the next step in creating perhaps Newark requirement for safety concern for modernization for digitizing entire instructional can you learning platform that has always been the priority concern the main concern to generate income to support our facility needs if I go up to the next spring what does the question is that should we need in the next one piece we also are obligated I'm not sure how we can make it a little bit better yesterday navigate to look at the if there's a way to we could use our resources better the last few months we've been talking about closing to the board a study that would look at the Holdings of All About Properties so please thank you and I'm looking at the study look at voting and then within the Holdings and Seafort's future option that could dinner you would have revenue for us and the reason for the revenue we might need is to support the second just as important priority and if I can have the next two frames raise the revenue based on what we have and with the board in the month of March 2020 23 Will based on the outcome of this study and then we'll guide into the next step which is to raise funding the revenue locally to support if I can have the next frame comprehensive benefit that's a that's a bee and a competitive salary and if we can have the next rain and combine the revenue that we have locally by holding the revenue that we receive from the state and federal government to support Comprehensive Health Plan the benefits and a competitive salary including if we have the possibility to extend a further and the last name the uncertain initiative that we talked about last year's son living way to all of our staff College aspirations and support for students and credentialing need for Teachers Health care for a while. And then families as well Child Care and housing if you need it so the combination of bits and pieces of the conversation with the last few months is actually on the same page the facility the competitive salary the Comprehensive Health care plan for the people and the way the weekend our resources are Holdings in a in a in a better fashion that can provide a better future financially or but the district Sleeps Tonight with your permission I am going to introduce the laundry she needs to leave me go over point six which is their proposal that is coming to work tonight I sent information item again but a study proposal to look at current Holdings and what they can assist us with future neck send if I could invite mr. Feeny and before you come to the item so we should move it it doesn't need to be moved but we need to take comments from the public accept comments from the public of course you would normally Hawaiian sweet to come in after the presentation and five and 10 six together in comments that way I'm open to other possibilities in the or doesn't think we should do that. We have a lot of open to that if there's consensus about it I'm open to take public comment altogether that way we need to see to bring this thing back and I have the results of that as you as you wish okay so then for the folks who have raised their hands hopefully you're following that we're going to take that presentation for ten 6 and then handle comments for both 10 5 and 10 6 together okay I sent you my name is not Jewish Amy I make second director and Cordoba and educational facilities division Emily Ryan she's our sector manager Richard the board for giving a chance to adjust presenter I just want to take a quick minutes just highlights Cordoba Mexican experience in case someone has lived with multi-sector leusd Riverside USD and higher education institutions such as Long Beach City College at Lake Community College District CSU Long Beach just to name a few to being a California and Los angeles-based company our head office is just a stone's throw away from Dodger Stadium to the city and have a great understanding of the Los Angeles area and will yourself. She lives in Century in Culver City area the lady with the challenges that in the neighborhood and the Englewood the USA Where We Are yeah p.m. for the past six years managing through their bond programs measure GG restaurant to take summer school as we have an outlined in this proposal here again our objective here is to support the board here with the challenges there multiple steak order stakeholders of the board of directors who have the board here we have the staff you have the community each has their own color wish list needs some immediate looking long-term generating revenue and accepting those than understanding those challenges and planning so what we wanted to do is in a proposal which we have seen in his boots online is to assist to provide the best recommendations of how you can Google go forward and Achieve those needs Taking consideration the fact you're going to be points with different stakeholders the board will have the opportunity to choose where they be one or multiple options that make the most sense based on Weatherby cost timing and obviously the expectations and needs of each man two priorities that we had in in my area tangible in terms of the results that you'll get but also for clinical studies you know it could take until we could be 2 to 3 weeks into this and forever recent in the direction changes are requirements changes you have that to to put a stop to it we believe engaging with the community and terms of him being open Town Hall sessions at meeting directly with the board members and staff and employees of the district to be to get their perspective and then be able to do an analysis and prevent to the board that. Here are the recommendations again with that it's it's almost a phased approach it's not going to be this open-ended pictures of budget that we're just going to let you know you life to the fullest and if it's if it's going to be very much controllables at the pace that you you wanted and then time for that you wanted as well to get everything questions Emily and I are to answer those questions for you and we should the option deep that you allow us to give me a quick summary of the highlights of the objectives here tonight images very exciting the main goal of this would be to what's available with options are available to the district with what you currently have on hand and then in a meaningful way we can provide our own recommendations but each step of the way it's going to be at your direction and at your discretion or happy to be here and then if you can we're also happy to watch ensure you are is that a recall last meeting two weeks ago summer and I formed a sub-committee because we were having trouble agreeing on what it would take me to bring this sort of real estate assessment back to the we met and when summer so Ted ronchetti for Max Rey long after a race and took a few hours to senses of 7 conditions that we thought at least that were sufficient for every one of us to agree that it would make sense to bring this sort of thing to a board meeting if he's conditions were managed and I do not in any particular order and it's not that every one of us insisted on every one of these just stood at least one of us insisted on at least one of these border force one is at least one other firm but besides a good needs to be considered as a possible including presentation 2nd is when the consulting firm evaluates the district's real estate holdings and resent the list of options estimated potential Revenue stream that would result in explain how those numbers were right. There is both of us felt the Gathering Community input about what people think about the various options should be done by a different consultant or by the district buy real estate in all of us felt the Gathering TV input requires different expertise than evaluating potential real estate development and applications for holding Town Halls facility lady dialogue Etc order one was at the same meeting or before the real estate evaluation comes to the board as we talked about the floating on a contract we want to see a clear step taken towards addressing facilities issue this could be a concrete step towards addressing the problems or five was at the same meeting were before we want to get here strategy for updating facilities master plan still tease master plan has to go hand-in-hand with the real estate study because the potential options will need to be will need to take into account aspects of the plan example that was how much warehouse space we need and how that interacts with the real estate option but that's only one example six was the proposed contract when it comes needs to be very clear about the car and not commit us to a large amount of money going hourly rate in a not-to-exceed number at the district has the option to cancel it anytime and of course we want why you think the hourly lady you would with any contract and then the last one was we want a clear statement of how much bandwidth is study would require from District staff just some realistic description of how much of a distraction will be in for her and then I know that the end of this and all of us agree on the wording in this email that not everyone was insist on all of those things but we are all agreed that if all of those conditions are met and we're comfortable bringing this back to potentially seeing it past 10 summary about seeing this email it's just should be contracted by myself yeah what are we do board first and then we'll take it in the audience and then come back in the morning we need to so the items and then talked about what's the firm needs to do to explain the cost beyond what contracts are saying I just was hoping some more detail and maybe there's the discussion was a little bit more specific than that which is red and then you enter into with Robert had a br you entered a contract should say that when they bring options to us about this is what you could do with the real estate it should talk about what the revenue stream might be from any particular option and you know I arrived at those estimates when we were well aware as I can make sure that it doesn't just say you know you could try this try that they needed to say you could try this and this might wind up bringing in this kind of revenue's tree anywhere I can try that option I might bring you this other kind of revenue streams it's not what we need to know before the contracts in place if if we have a promise to do that is positive Revenue a lot of people say we can but if your expenses exceed revenue doesn't help anybody so with that in mind we be looking at the portfolio of the Holdings and and getting creative with everyone's input in terms of results here are strategies that make do we have a board members who want to ask questions about yes I don't have I was going to talk to them or not. Because I just want to acknowledge that you come to present to us in person tonight and I just want to Express gratitude for it's not my understanding that you've known about our need for very long so are you going to acknowledge you seem to meet an urgent and pressing call and that you were here in person at and that I greatly appreciate that and I agree I greatly appreciate the personal investment I'm feeling from you as a team that goes a long way so I look forward to whatever comes of this and I and I hope that we find a way to work with you in the future and I just wanted to say thank you for a little bit 11 think it's like the highlights of the company as a whole and it is not just throwing out there in all the projects of a site about making a difference in the communities that we work this is been going on for four Decades of being a local Los Angeles citizen cizeron 2011 20 Keloland jumper moved over to the Science Center so we we managed not worth to can't do this dreams of tires and making sure that I think we found out she was just getting out of work these are things Community this is something about the science center as it was to get it into lower floor are you recommend you must be loving this example I think they research anyways I just wanted to go with dr. Kim said I am eternally grateful for you coming so early I was wondering what agenda he will be asking to speak because he's changed since the very beginning of our meetings are really long and in the future what other things do I want to say things it's as you heard the committee really wanted to have a second presentation of the Proposal that was put forth between the two firms has its equivalent and my so it seems like this analysis it is very in-depth as this is the cost this is the usual cost right is that what you guys using your is it usual cost and I just just want to highlight that that is a nut she'd cost not to exceed our hourly rate is lower in that ceiling really comes down to multiple factors timeframe how much exposure ability do we have in terms of getting to that conclusion of hours that go into it are all of you to come to that conclusion much quicker and below that ceiling thank you for the presentation I was looking at the contract and there is a part where he mentioned looking at are at believe it's been there looking at our existing facilities master plan I thought it was in there indefinitely do you look at our facilities master plan still because one of the things that doctor Levin pointed out what is one of the seven points considering our needs right now and our future needs and so just one example as we don't want to turn something into an investment property and then a year or two or ten later realize we need a classroom space how old you how far you going to that facility Master facilities master plan as it exists right now and meeting with our staffs to understand our needs to determine what would be the best way to proceed in critical factor analysis listen having that is the basis getting the input from stakeholders I mean the board members of the community and end up together and see where there's an opportunity Rover lab and identify and given the best strategies for you maybe there's only section of that that make sense right now but I can go to revenue and then time frame yet the meeting concerns as repairs that I needed to the balance of going to need to be reached and as you all know you can't satisfy everybody. maybe one group that feel they didn't get the best results for lack of a better word but it's in your hands at the end that must be something that would be call it the straight around and bases in and we would take an in-depth analysis of that as part of this process and understand our needs as we go into Universal City and expanding those classrooms but also meeting the needs of our existing student population which is about 7000 and growing how much time do you spend talking to different departments to find out what are your project or even with office of Child Development which is our preschool and middle school we talk tonight you said through you've heard comments about alternative education like over and it's important to me whatever direction we wherever we contract with that you understand that every facility we have actually belongs to students its public facilities public dollars that are for us to serve students and so we can never get so ahead of ourselves that we're forgetting our main and River the only purpose do how much do you work with staff to understand the needs a doctor weapon was a you know a concerned how much time to see Jacob the district building use your troops boys have meetings with their delete user group on the melting it in our goal is always to have minimal like the least amount of impact and destruction to your faculty staff and your students of course but we want to make sure that we're thorough and giving you what you are tell you in specific time frame until we have those initial meetings than likely you and the Super Bowl where the groundwork is but our goal is always minimal impact while still addressing the concerns of the community the community would be scheduled you know I'll be going there's a lot of logistics to address so I made a note that you have sat through a lot of will Thomas tonight you heard from our students families making comments about the facilities in disrepair having work with a lot of school districts how do you encourage them to prioritize those existing facilities needs while while looking at projected Holdings that can be converted into investment property that will generate a revenue Safety and Security you know house safety immediate night ever survived the pick-quick list in terms of what needs to be addressed but then also board has a long-term strategy and growth plan in terms of generating positive Revenue so it's okay whatever the next amount of that what is you know what does it mean if you can teach there if you can't feel secure there they need to be addressed but you can't lose sight of what's coming up for years five years down the road with your with your strategy and plan school projects and school late like don't you said it it should always be you know impacting student health and safety should be addressed and then and then see what you can do to I trust those within the funding that you currently have I think was inciting about this potential you know address some of those conditional if you have $900 worth of additional revenue streams good to see you but you just need to know what your needs are I'm trying to be mindful of time in there a lot of hands but I do have just like maybe three in the time that you've been doing this what is the shortest amount of time that it takes from your analysis of the Holdings to Construction School District to actually seeing a revenue coming in construction project planning let me know thanks and months to a year I mean based on the way things are being again maybe there's a license with you have give Sony Studios Siri have other businesses fear that you could capitalize on immediate is creative revenue-generating opportunities with them and also the students to get involved in terms of maybe internships a lot of discussions that we have in terms of the needs and concerns of the teachers and staff at teachers while to be released feel it there's this understanding that I think that we can bring the tables that differentiates us from other groups of it I'm sure that everyone is qualified that you thought that you could do so far better understanding of loss and Community as personal connection I think is a certain value ad that says you can't put a price tag on the house ten years that you tend to see when there are I would say if you honey creative measures that say within I'm just only if it's it does involve building and permitting other than eighteen months at a time frame I would say something like that but I'm developing and getting it out there and bring that nice attitude 24 months time frame to an existing facility we can we can just pick one or one of these Studios for example. because you're filming just throwing ideas out that I could be something very quick within a ten month you start seeing revenue on a creative idea like that the district to make this an amorphous process for you in terms of understanding our needs right now we're just talking tonight about needing more classroom space for classrooms or things like have it programmed we want to grow after school programs existing Bungalow that we have that are too small classrooms that are too small for the number of students would you need with would it help to have an understanding of what that vision is to for our district the better if you said go tomorrow I would I would want to see as quickly as possible to meet with the board we have a communication manager that would bring a board to have them or the public decide and went to stop but I guess I'm going to be managing a project your input is something I'd very much like to hear any more information or background that you can share the better we can assess him and a bite of our plans the more focus in the quicker we get to that focus and he'll have every one of them so as I said I am coming but are there other board members history okay so my, turn brief in there before you books by CC actually were the general public cuz I want to make sure everybody to where there is a presentation that we didn't walk through but that's attached to board dogs that talks about the in voting on this until future and I just wanted to give my overview of why I'm excited about this than what I'm hoping to I need this as Gathering data we are starting with an idea that we've had for a while of you know we're sitting in the middle of a city where the real estate prices have gone and we had a lot of land where what was decided to do with the land that happened a long time ago when the land was a lot less expensive Mario where we could bring in a revenue stream where we can live I didn't say there's a better way to use this or whatever and I'm viewing this as the initial step where we just try to get the information from an unbiased expert on you know what the real estate worth what do the kinds of things do with it and begin a dialogue with the community so that we're not spending a lot of time exploring ideas that nobody wants but just what are the possibilities that we can look at so I think that's what it says in the presentation that I got you I'm just trying to come in my own personal point of view and I only have a couple more before I'm done but that's how I see it and that's why I'm excited about taking that first edition step okay. Welcome to come on out if you want to use it as a great summer you're spot-on that's that's the whole focus of the proposal I don't think we need to do a walk-through that people have it available and they will have it at one of the public is is cost and expense In-N-Out you know basically just for our time and doing this analysis just sooner we get to that and if the speed that we get to that will be determined by you know don't listen access Incorporated rehab from this end so we getting upset that's the worst case scenario number we hopefully that number should be below that world based on consensus these projects makes more sense for us the resources that we use be although he based service contractors Architects used are very familiar with the Southern California Los Angeles a locally-based directly Community hopefully soon or you whoever you get engaged to handle face-to-face three of this project yeah just to be crystal clear All Aboard by then but I'm quite sure I know leave the way this District to be praised if there's a follow-on contracts to this one that has to do with either bigger study War starting to build something or whatever we would re-evaluate at that time with the consultant would be in by 3 will be a I didn't propose a process that you know Hammers and tools ourselves we're more the will we would represent grass and so if we go to this everybody's happy we spend some something less than the the Capricorn an hourly rate in and then there's more work to be done and you're need to be more involved with with the district what you be hoping to be involved with us as would be as a similar kind of consultant to be somebody who gives us expertise when we dealing with what you just said that we wouldn't do that because that's not license for General after we got that a lot of the Bible verses like this you know do studies were bring ours with HD 8 on the library feasibility study at Kellogg Warden what your needs are an arrangement like that with a group called so I think it's just relevant to point out that those of the akwa my organization proposal again analysis 28 weeks and if there's some of the section that you get to that later to message this Mission will this further and there's a need for an environmental consultant or what not you know what a liar our approach is to be as transparent as possible so we can prevent this to you and the board images okay we're going to go with this group because of either timing or cost it's not going to be us saying hey here's environmental consultant at 30,000 that you want to go with 35000 timing tease me know decide which one call for folks who want to speak on this item so that we can get a full tally right now there are is it going to stay at or we can do three minutes apiece public comment on both agenda item so we're taking public comment on 10.5 which is the revised Brookwood advisory proposal and 10.6 which is 10.6 which is the Cordoba Corporation for false information item search people who try to be shorter than that all right so we will and Sanders and Melissa can you hear me what's worse. I don't know if that's Eagles and you're able to unmute let's go ahead and do that now if I may just take the Liberties because yeah go ahead and I now can you hear me okay thank you my daughter slipped and fell on one of the garbage keeps on high school cat and hurt herself elbow wrist need absolutely unacceptable. Chris Thompson High School campus I honestly don't understand when I'm listening to the woman in the dark hair at the podium talk about addressing student health and safety first how you can possibly sit on that Podium were at that diet and talk about spending $500 understudy to build more when you cannot keep the campus clean a student came to this meeting and talked about Vernon DC's urine roaches at the campus and no offense to anybody on the diet don't think any of you were business people much less real estate developers which the very difficult part of the business world I don't believe you have the capability to understand or evaluate any real estate development concept would be presented so I don't have I don't have companies that have good workout and specifically when you were unable to keep the campus clean I don't even know why you would think of it doing more real estate when you can't handle what's their my daughter got hurt from having. keep on the campus so I don't get it couple of other quick comment you're talkin about a field replacing field with artificial turf please investigate artificial turf number one it ends up not being cheaper than grass number two many injuries are caused by the term feed stick in the church needs to get twisted and sprained and ligaments are torn from turn number 3 if you watch football games on TV you'll see black clouds of dust that sort of the rubber that goes under the field it's a health hazard to the kids it's not good for them it's been associated with many kinds of health issues including cancer please investigate replacing field grass with Turf before you do it finally there's a significant issue with safety that still continues once again we're not addressing safety and we're not addressing that the filth on the campus and by the way I was on the campus Friday there was a better after school there is rotting wood coming the overhangs the plantar areas are highly unkept I don't understand the theory of taking care of the kids having a nice place for them to be ignoring this building the garbage pile up no I miss the beginning of the meeting I don't know what the plan is I heard you to move 10 times faster and end with 20 times the bigger so that the kids have a nice place to be in school it's a self-image for everyone's in it and I'll just return briefly to the issue of real estate development is an extremely complex and difficult thing the idea of a school district managing a for-profit thing or hiring someone to do it is just it it's just it's laughable please how was your experience on the diet in any business or real estate so we can help understand how you might better evaluate these options thank you tomorrow by Brian Melissa and we have another hand raised Seth rosenzweig Mara good evening I am the hair person for cvac and at the last board meeting honesty back was asked to meet on zebra contract as it stood at the time we did meet my last Wednesday so this is based on the information that we had been given at that time but I just wanted to report out a bit on some of the things that were discussed it was a very Lively discussion I will stay there were lots of opinions there were some questions about why we weren't using a local company instead of Brookwood somebody who has more you're down here mr. Tran had mentioned at that meeting that he had a discussion with another local school board or sorry school districts that was going through a similar process looking for revenue streams with their real estate so it was asked why we couldn't use a similar company that is also local there was definitely a discussion about the need for a revenue stream in the district's but it was asked why there easy with this particular timeline it was mentioned that there is inherent bias in Brookwood presentation because they've been LED in the direction of Workforce housing since April and focusing on not part of the discussion there was something the fact that in the urgency that there was nothing for 6 months when it was first presented in April and now there's a sudden urgency to get it done as soon as possible someone asked if the smaller scope the new proposal would be the same price as the previous proposal there was a request for stakeholders to help craft the community survey not just be present at town halls and answer the survey but you actually helped create the survey and there were concerns about zoning of current buildings and possible limitations and what they could be used for and also the fact that it would take yours as presented to have rev is dream and that we should see if it will take yours that there was some people have felt that we should start as soon as possible and there were some people that felt that there was no harm in waiting a few more months when a newborn is heated and I will say that there were no consensus at our meeting and it was evenly split for favoring the current proposal and for not favoring it thank you very much Brian Melissa Bryan yes we can this is Bryan Sanders and I know we're all here because we care about schools and the care about teaching and learning everyday BB Joy in the classroom and on-campus it would that that's why we're here that's why you serve on school board that's why people are staying with his meetings and getting involved so so given that so do you want me to come over talk about trying to create the best environment for teachers and for students for everyone who works at the school and who visits the school you know so you know the superintendent Ronnie talked about a billion dollars I seen that figure I've seen those reports from 2019 you know and we have a very long list of things that that need to be prepared and then you mentioned also attend Bond measure putting to the voters in 2024 so I would already be 55 years plus out from that 2019 report you know I'm sure other stuff has happened since then I think the number for everyone in this meeting is aware of all the videos in the photographs of a recent conditions and things going on at the school so we know that you have even more work to do than what was already documented in 2019 so you know it's great to 2 to also think about the future I understand that you know it's fun to think about you what can we do with all this money can we create other streams of red that make that makes sense to think about it but it doesn't make sense to implement it until we've done all the stuff that's still on the list to fix from 2019 and then by the time you know hopefully get the money for it 2024 the nest I-25 and so you see where I'm going with this like work we have we have so much to fix now the place is at the student take the student testimony from tonight they're telling me that you the truth and so why can't we focus on those things and then create a better environment and then maybe it will be really easy to pass a bond measure it might not be so easy to pass a bond measure if things are in District people are wondering who is directing the we spend money on studies to develop future revenue streams the school board is not directing the cabinet to invest in repair the schools today and that's a that's going to be what happens at The Ballot Box and that's going to be really hard to to to come back so I really recommend that we avoid the future spending on these revenues fix what's broken now thank you I am going to interrupt my call for the digital speakers remote speaker there is a NASCAR speaker in person to come up Rosie labriola and I apologize for using your speaker card as my notes on the remote speakers and turning it upside down I'm so glad you're here Cordova and I was just stress syndrome the only one being for this item so I'm very glad that you are here and good evening board president Lebanon remember said tonight I'm speaking about the Brookwood and proposals using the district property to build housing for revenue is something that I personally do not think it's a good idea nevertheless I also don't think that any Brookwood or Cordova proposal time and then possibly become action items on November 8th currently the boy this reduced to only for members and even more importantly we have an election coming up in just two weeks if new board members are voted in it's the new board that should be discussing these items and voting on them the bring Levi's are good and the proposals I was encouraged to see that the board would have the right to counsel without cause any potential contract with Brookwood but the mutual Rider Brookwood to all cancel any time to put the district in Jeopardy of having to pay for work done but not getting a completed report finally items 10 5 and 10.6 according to the brown Act where did genda must be posted at least 72 hours before the meeting date this wasn't done there for the Brookwood and Cordoba proposal should not have been discussed tonight non-compliance thank you for your consideration on my item it seems that we should resolve that so clear on that did we talk about this later than the deadline because I send it's been 10 B William posted it before the deadline was that I got an email about it Saturday at 4 p.m. what's in question is it that the agenda item was there without a press patient at a store that the agenda item wasn't there oh she said that the agenda item appear when she look on Saturday or Sunday morning I think that must be an issue with the web browser or something you were using cuz I took a look at this I did see it on Saturday okay. We are verified that make sure it was in the problem with the system but I don't think that was a problem that was posted and also the official posting I believe is required to be on the door of the building or something we can confirm all all that and make sure I try to put it online we need to continue where is Melissa alright I concur with some earlier statements especially Brian's Hunters regarding the fact that I think I kind of changed my even Outlook of this whole picture because interesting to hear the president student president from the high school talk about the disarray of the building that persist we've been dealing with this for for a long time both my daughters would never use the bathrooms at cchs and I'm sad to hear that it's still bad and in that's not good I mean I'm glad to hear that the teacher situation is better Cortana Miss cross all that's encouraging but with that mines the Brookwood contract I was very surprised that we are using someone local are considering using someone not local it's a multibillion-dollar Real Estate Mogul basically and to think that there's probably plenty of local community project organizers like the one we just heard about tonight but I think that before going forward with any of this as previous stated I mean there needs to be a full board not to be rushed before November 8th and we need to listen to this tune and we need to take heed and fix the buildings before any of this goes forward if you have two plus million in reserves for something like this hey why don't you consider spending it on fixing their current buildings updating them making them livable for the students so they don't feel threatened either and that they feel comfortable using restrooms and cafeterias and anything else thank you looking glass OK Google show me board members or staff for our guests want to come in today or underneath that are asked to teach the lessons I just want to clarify when we talked about the 900 million-dollar price tag from the facility master plan I think it's important for people on either side of the argument for Oregon I understand that that was us dreaming as big as we can possibly dream that is not a $990 price tag for repairs that just need to be made and I think that can be misleading if it's you do you say like we must do this right now because we have a $909 price tag and likewise it would be misleading to say we have a 900 million-dollar price tag why are we focused on this I think it's just perspective the 900 million dollars was if we can have everything including a helipad what would it be as opposed to what are our needs right now and I think that's why I need right now are being presented thank you mr. Quinn so that we can have a clear perspective but I would like to hear about in response to the seven points a couple of them have already been addressed like the first one hearing from another can you mr. Tran speak to the other points that may not have been included as a part of this contract or Brooke was contracted by the part of the expectation that the subcommittee thank you memorized the second item having to do with when the findings being should the the study be approved by the board a few months late at the findings will have to include options potential revenue and how how did the revenues were calculated in so I that is part of the findings that we will expect should be study be allowed to move forward being the desire for a man with three having a locally a local YouTube to do an independent Gathering From Community input or having the district doing that as an example I believe at this point their option to do that exactly that I mean does it is ours charging by the building and with we wanted to engage us to do the community input that is an option for the company that we are engaging could select a locally-based gluten to help with Gathering input the only one item that I am not able to say that should the district ended Emily take on the community Gathering or the comedian put itself into the answers we don't have the bandwidth at this time to do that I could meet the deadline the month of March but we would stay in the leadership position regardless how we going to carry this out so despite my point on the 3rd and the 3rd part IV the fourth item having to have a a a chance updated the said he will look at the 900 million dollar and thinking how does that fit into the the studies of a real estate holding in that isn't expected also if I could be delivered as soon as we move along with the with the study and I'm trying to see the we'd have to have a plan addressing the repair maintain and replaced present situation of and I think we've heard that presentation tonight we set aside a 2.7 million dollar to begin the process committed Millions more on top of that. It's the project is going through the next item having to do with the cost than the weather the hourly rate is reasonable and based on what we've seen and multiple phone calls I was able to make and Research into past other districts contracts it is about the right industry standard for the price range and both proposal came in that but not to exceed 180,000 which is by itself pretty spot-on I would I would recommend the finally does the context of how much time this too will consume the study of star will consume staff time and and stop the way from other priority that part I'm going to be very mindful of how that would be impacting and not just totally consumed in supporting the study but if we brought in either company they are also aware of how much time they depend on us to work with and they will supplement that so that's something that we we won't let the study sidetracked us from the main work of the district I think I covered all seven area what three I appreciate that but with three of them I am looking for and maybe you don't have it right now a more objective answer one with the time commitment to staying that will be mindful of it we have a lot of items that are brought up and workshops that were asking for and priorities that will request requesting to stay at the Forefront of our work and so I appreciate that you are willing to be mindful of it but I would love for us to have something more definitive about maintaining staff time upon their first priorities and then we're guarding the facilities master plan I didn't hear a strategy for updating the Paseo please master plan which I think would be useful or whichever firm is hired as for her it is a firm has hired having a tough day to facilities master plan have we contacted DLR since they said that they do you update for free timeline for them to come back and engage with staff and look at that so these are the more concrete answers I'm looking for before the contracts represent a fraction thank you I believe we did reach out to DLR group and we got some feedback from the mister Quinn but you shared that with us about if they would do cuz the question was raised would they do a portfolio analysis type thing and they do contract it out I have not talked to him about updating the actual plan itself but I can have that conversation to statements on what she needs to see when this comes back for a vote on a proposed contract about anything else that they wanted comes back but I'm suggesting that we're probably ready to be done with this item for tonight thing in the end I know that we we've discussed and the previous item with regards to facilities where we put the how many people we have hired full-time and part-time to do the Facility Cleaning and I I know that this is a Personnel issue right because it seems like we have a contractor's we have Personnel coming and I know that this is something that perhaps we need to buy aspirin post items discuss this particular personal item because it just seems to me that if if the staff is asking if our students and Community are saying facilities are dirty and we're saying we're fully stop then we need a Personnel report and clothes because we can only discuss Personnel issues and closer and I hope that one of my board members second me on this so that we can have a person what is exactly happening with Personnel issues around susilo T's and how can we resolve it because it's very clear from the community they want answers and I'd answer is because it's Personnel issues we need to discuss it and find a way to communicate how we're going to Salt it and this is not it's not a requirement for this but it is in the one request that I think it's important for us to to address but I wanted just well that's why I asked about these additional contractor contracts and traditional custodians we'd all rather hire custodians on a permanent basis will we need a rather than bringing contract with those contracts renewed so my open expectation is we're going to see the results of those very soon and see okay we finally managed to get to make a dent in the problem but I'm happy to talk about the personal things well that's because in the second thing I do think it's important for us and I and I'm going to ask my colleagues to for a second on this also is that we have gone through many presentations lengthy public comment and it seems like we are in the path of moving forward with with which of the future Edition it is our role as board members to see the priorities that the future whole like what are the priorities and to be thinking about the future in Creative dition for the future and this is part of that is it is creating priorities and charting a path for the future and I find it that this whole process has been very difficult because we don't have a policy on how we review contract when do we require our and I and I hope that we can really clarify this in a policy or that we can have a clear expectation that we can reference as we review our contracts when do we need an RFP when do we need a second why do we need local I don't mind these requirements and we should standardized these requirements regardless of what Bender comes and speaks to us that we use the same standards to clear of Ender to be so that they can become a vendor to the district's I hope I can get a second on an RPI sleep so Ford is revising because we actually do have a policy and they are about our pieces the threshold and so and I think they're probably dated to like the late 90s so well over 20 years old I'm looking to Robert about 20 years old support revisiting and revising the board policy and a are so that was discussed in the sea back I have one person I'll make it quick is the city liaison committee subcommittee meeting development happening in the city and part of the developer these are really explicit leads to make sure that we're able to keep up with the growth of the city there are already developing homes affordable homes more families will be moving in with Methodist has 95 units moving and I want to make sure we're mindful of the projected growth in the city so that were actually using the the developer fees for the purpose intended and we're keeping that in mind as we move towards reducing our facilities master plan so I would love for us at some point have a conversation with us today will the developer fees study do answer those questions for us they project what our future student body will be is it that we're moving at the same time because what the developers case study project is what's in the minds of the council members who have plans that have met may not have you been present it yet and we're talking about making making these changes right now so I think would be helpful to work in collaboration in the beauty by then Tri-City liaison committee yeah I wanted to ask about question because I understood Mr fries request regarding DLR and that we need to reach out to them again but I thought that we were clear on the staff and with questions so could we just is it for one more moment so I'm hearing that you are doing your very best to minimize too close to zero this Stasi seriously stop and go into this and that that's specifically why you do not want to take on the survey of the community because that would take us significant number of resources and then we know from the contract that was presented tonight and we've already book with multiple times that we will of course be including staff in the conversations but with as little disruption as possible so is there a part of this that is still unanswered about regarding our bandwidth cuz to me it seems clear that will be as close to zero as possible while still doing the due diligence of engaging all the staff stakeholders we are really looking for a better word there I understand I need to remove my burn ocular but community members so what I want to say is close to zero is not a number and what I would suggest what I'd like to see come back would be something that says we're estimating obviously it's a yes estimating X number of hours of staff. Yes okay thank you very much for being here it was a pleasure and I'm so glad that we are up to ten point seven percent second reading do we need a second reading do we need anything from before take me to board members of mountain end this now we talkin about the right lane of the AC and I think that it was a lively discussion and I really appreciate that we are getting input and discussing it in different groups because I think it's really important to have that. logged in to understand the different points of views and to get input from the from the different committees that can provide a different point of views to do this particular p**** so thank you okay then let me know if there's a chance raised to work only one person left in the I-10 again this is the second readings we need to hear but I got everything in here that was requested when I brought it for a first read which admittedly was quite a while ago most of it was misspelling the formatting and Corrections did add the $0.01 and they are that's highlighted about we should Club not hiring people to do jobs that are already done by the district however I phrased that Matt was looking for got everything that I was aware of the board members and if it's already if the language is already here in some way and I miss and I'm looking to dr. Smith because I would love for them to be some language about making sure that when still connected organizations are able to fundraise for once we don't unintentionally allowed the inequity is that are created or perpetuated because it's sort of the luck of you know where you end up sending your child and if there are more Flint families there versus at another site and we've seen it happen and I don't know if there is any language here to make dust hyper we're looking at that and ensuring that all of our students regardless in this is really more about the country schools cuz that's the only place where we would expect her to be you know some parity with their experience is it doesn't have to be the same but just students are able to have, experiences and we're putting mechanisms in place to protect against my abs of this is that okay because I so I went back and looked I don't know if I went back and looked at June 14th and there's a couple things that are reflected so one thing was a member of the public about changing the language regard whether or not it has to go through a site principal first and we changed it to or superintendent designee so thank you about putting the word foundation into the documents mr. Quinn you were going to get back to us about that I don't know if you haven't answered my question and then I specifically asked for the DEA office look at the suggested programs see if they were out will further inequities for create and specifically to board members and McBride Asperger number six on how money can be spent during the school day which is related to the question about the d i office looking for in equities through grant funding and so it is my understanding that we are being advised and I'm just offering this for discussion I don't necessarily agree one way or the other that we handle this question of inequities to parent funding through board coffee 3290 of gifts that is my impression from the Friday reports that we're getting from the circle and so I don't know how the body feels about that this is a priority for me the inequities of paraphernalia wait for me so I want to resolve it I will happily work with folks on resolving it through this policy but I do hear that we are being advised to do it through policy 3290 and to get this in place for the existing boosters and Pete because they're this is so out of date in my opinion the way we should respond to those inequities is by looking and saying parents raise money over at this school to do something we think that's worthwhile able to raise money over at that school district is going to find it in the places where it needs to be funded so I would like to see some kind of policy that talks about how we will game our funding with the goal of equity and that we won't feel bound to do not fun something one school just because it was fun goodbye Aaron dollars to the parents are just raised money if you say if you go spend the money somewhere else but I think it should be raise money to help us that's terrific but we're going to look at the big picture and make sure that it could be a statement in this one that says that was famous and I was standing parent efforts to raise money the district will buy services that are dead we consider valuable are available and every school or something like that for their students that we we don't want you to augment their programs give them opportunities that you can afford to give them it's just making sure that the district is keeping a close watch on that and where there is an experience that's being had at one site talking to the other sites and saying what what are you interested in that we can provide and also right I think maybe I can go in both policies because some of the programs have been outside of school hours and this policy already is going to include cuz we did talk about including language about things happening during the school day not being affected by ability to raise funds it should come from the district that if something is happening after school if one school has is offering after-school bilingual education and another side of interested in offering that but they can't afford it then what is the district going to step in and say we can go into this contract together and see if we can negotiate for multiple sites to have this opportunity just making sure that whatever School our students go to their given many have the same opportunities and I know that we often talked about equality is not equity and Equity is not equality but there can be parody there can be a comprable experience and it's all about what the families at that siding with us I want to see offered and it's on us to make sure that we're keeping a close watch on that apply to during the school day unless you want to do want to follow up on what Doctor can say and yes the bigger recommendation to deal with Equitable funding should be done through 3290 and I say that just after looking at Santa Monica unified who has a really good system in place and it's been very successful at that processing. dress it in there so that's where I got that idea example with the leader the parameter of Santa monica-malibu when that shift position from site-specific into a more local Equity outcome so what we learn from them is Robert there got to be somewhere that can adjust both be the disciple Karen erase one but not in a burgundy causing the inequitable other school so what will look into how other district is offended and then adjusting accordingly. you know I find it very interesting cuz today I was trying to I felt really heartbroken reading some of the student achievement because one of the student achievement literally talked about how did not give gifts to all the show which is a organization that we invited to do fundraising and that this child we are now saying hey you're resolving this problem this inequity. and that you know you're going to give and be given an award and I and I think that it's this inequity it it showed up in so many different ways right I can imagine my child saying I really want a gift and I need to fundraise and not being able to go to the family to raise those funds I also heard from parents about this circular pattern that parents were texted during school hours from their children's cell phone to say hey we need to fundraise more money and that this was instruction that was given during the Pats presentation that got your phones and text your family to donate again it's about what if the child has to have a cell phone what is the child can communicate with their parent because maybe the parent is out how do I find this very I don't know concerning that that we saw a child being given an award because they give a gift and probably needs to be resolved in the next in the 3290 Gregg 3290 and it probably needs to be in many many many places of our policies and that's why I thought this man I'm sorry I'm putting you on the hot c t r y we have an assistant superintendent for d i because this problem is so in vasive of all the systems that are here and I've been in existence for so long I hope to see something that we can Rectify this issue with fundraising and children getting gifts and not and I'm creating 3290 so that we can have sharing of Wells that is fun raise my parents and and and I and I'm sorry I think both of them should have some language I was just going to say I do think that they room for us to be more diligent about looking at fundraising organizations who's bringing that to happen about Apex every student actually does get a prize every day a student gets a bracelet and every student in The District in the in the school gets a t-shirt and that's all free of charge that's covered and every class get some form of the party so I think it was more specific about a type of Christ but with that particular fundraising organization they do give every single student multiple gifts the point that I was going to make about the equity across sites was also an example could be our Sports programs to so think it's just my full of thinking about students who are on one sports team their families are able to raise a lot of money compared to 14in so it's not just the elementary sites it's about different groups that are on our campuses in school-sanctioned activities and still having to purchase bathing suits and parkas because the girls water polo team place in the dead of winter and that team can't raise money then do students either go without a parka or have to spend a lot of money on it so it's it's more about the actual cost a fortune these are important topics at night and we're stretching Beyond 4th December this particular agenda item but clearly we need something brought back we talked about the broader picture equity and fundraising and do we want our students to be part of the fundraising effort or not the bright that's a policy kind of question and get the board level to that do we how do we address the ideas of fundraising a different sites and within different genes and within different students within the same teeth in the same school I think that's something that needs to be brought right back for this Kush I just don't think it's the right discussion for right now it's appropriate for the 10:50 we've already agreed that this item need more changes I'm suggesting that if we have that for discussion when it comes back with proposed language from broaden that discussion to include the other things that you mention it cuz they really don't have to be part of the Beast do a now that this needs to be information item again presumably the third reading if you think you have a language that that meets the needs great bring it back further reading if you think it needs further discussion to come up with that then bring it back as part of a broader discussion and other policies that are tied to it together we give them we way to bring it back have a choose but certainly not an action item yet could see 14.1 which is an action item so we need a motion move to approve discussion just curious how is there service different from something like healthy and very specific this and I met these folks are they active with the level of granularity of the question housing focus on student groups so working with them we were able to tailor some items to really dry all the feelings and perceptions of our students who are on inter-district attendance permit to do out there and perceptions of those kids who were lgbtqi plus receptions and believe so in what they do with that data than they do a workshop model with the groups in order to they can prevent the data so they understand what it meant to have process it and be able to articulated it goes directly to student advocacy we've been booted them there was an Tobias Grant I just spoke to the board about that submitted in August and services were part of a proposal with the grant as well so I'm given the opportunity to speak with the students today I just kind of been hanging around on campus there's 11 with Amy yesterday as soon as I have a lot to say we want to get to the to the root cause is one of the most that I've seen so that that's why are there further questions or discussion ready to go to all those in favor say aye can I get a motion I will move it as any discussion all those in favor say aye takes us to forge corner and I have a suggestion which is that we should clearly planning. I'm expecting a motion to adjourn in memory of Sandy I would like for our Wards Corner to know that and as requested by our family they requested they will chip certain things like her flowers people donate Friends of the same Sandy single you tell Center I would like that in addition to knowing that we had turned in her memory that we include the link to the page to two. I would like to add to that and if there is a statement from the family that they would like that they have provided because they've been communicating that we publish it along with our Wards Corner cabinets in the family but if they provided something then we should we can share it I just don't want to be a burden to my family is going to ask for something in writing District shoe Senior Center District three decades or something and I'll bet you could find 20 people still who would be happy to write a paragraph I think you should deter the website of web page for the Saudis beautiful yes and we should also note not only is it beautiful but it's still a work in progress so they don't expect you to be perfect it's amazing OK Google okay so under I think this fits under future agenda items I think we need a an additional closed session to wrap up the superintendent evaluation can you try to set up a a meeting next week sometime... Board members find a time that works. I think all we need is closed session we need more of us than you mr. Anybody else on the staff has to present for the we're really close but you know we want to get the evaluation in writing properly done while we're still the same boredom what do I reach out to members keep your listing things they wanted a future meetings I took notes on two items and that was inclusion workshop and a standing agenda item about Takoma Park alternative education and Newark actually I'd like to New Earth is not necessarily synonymous with restorative justice I think, you're the coming threat that I see about new Earth is where is New Earth being weeds in to help our students right cuz I I see we've been students who have spread it deficient like they're behind and their credit I see it where students can they need restorative justice I think we do I need to be sharing like how many things are doing with her today at the middle school now they're trying to utilize it also and so I'm looking for actual lighting Ada it's a $600,000 contract I want to know how many students are being served in what amount of time how quickly are they able to be referred and start having meetings and the number of minutes I want to see I would like to see data like that we also asked for tomorrow cast that was the only thing I remember right you and I talked briefly about meetings in the changeover and all that you want to reiterate with that it might be best because erroneous in our thinking we were posing the pie possibility of holding a meeting to swear and board members separate from a traditional Business board meeting and I can't remember now if the new board members are not officially able to be sworn in until the second week based on that something or other legislation so we were proposing a possibility of having a swearing-in on the 8th of December the traditional board meeting on the 13th what are the  I'm sorry if I have the wrong date Pantheon roll cordial or whatever I believe there's some language now that I'm remembering it is that this morning and had to take place as a regular scheduled board meeting but there is nothing to stop us from getting together the week before but not being sworn in ceremonial Lee transition from one more person that could be arranged that is the desired about bored but I don't want to generate a ton of work for this but it's safe let me let me know if it's possible is if after the square and there could be a break so that you know things too have some closure right I could be a little longer break perhaps then a 5 or 10 minute breaks so that families can leave if they're here for this we're in and they can take pictures traditionally does the regular board meeting where the swearing end is actually very light on items but a lot of ceremonial people with their own family heirloom things Jimmy swan in OKC so what have we covered everything are we ready for a motion to adjourn like to do that if I can be a part of that privilege I would like to move to address and I will just say that I haven't had very much opportunity to work with him is he going to meet her mercyme's and I have been aware of the incredible impact that she has had on this community via the students whose impact of the family issues impacted the central Spire the colleagues of hers. Center to get there all this time with very little Fanfare and and sometimes Grand opposition and it's been an impact that I also will at a future meeting asked that we memorialize in other because she has been cooking for Butera on that level that I think it's worth us talkin about in a formal committee setting so connect to Ed Sheeran and Marie I would come in as well so I just want to say that while I'm sure Cindy Siegel left the water legacies in waterways the legal help center wouldn't be here without her the you can see from the people that stayed committed to the apps for many years the power that she had of friendship and of inspiring people and has literally saved lives so I think any one of us would have cause to be extremely proud if we left a legacy and even close to the Legacy that she leaves behind all those in favor say aye
