[00:00:12] I'M GONNA START WITH LEGIBLE. OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. NOW, CAN YOU HEAR US ALL RIGHT. STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, FOR ALL YOU TO APPROVE. I MOVED THAT WE APPROVED THE AGENDA FOR THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, APRIL, 2022, ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. HOW MANY PUBLIC COMMENTS DO WE HAVE ONE DAY, RIGHT? UH, AND THEN WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MARCH 21ST, 2022 COMMITTEE MINUTES. I MOVED THAT WE APPROVED THE MARCH 25TH POINT. LET ME TO COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. AYE. ALRIGHT, FACILITY, MOVE UP NEXT WILL BE PRESENTING TODAY TODAY. YUP. YUP. ROBIN'S JUST DOING SOME DATA ENTRY TYPE FAST. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS IS E 8.7. UM, DEVELOPING CONSISTENTLY ADMINISTERED FACILITIES, USE GUIDELINES. UH, YOU SEE THERE, THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE ABOUT PERMITTED USAGE, WE HAVE THE APP AND WE'LL SEE STRUCTURE CLEAR USER EXPECTATIONS, INCLUDING BEHAVIOR CLEANUP UP SECURITY INSURANCE WITH DAMAGE REPAIR CONSEQUENCES AND NOURISHMENT PROCEDURES FOR USERS FAILED TO FOLLOW THE ESTABLISHED RULES. UM, SO PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE SAYING IN OUR INTERPRETATION IS, ARE FOLLOWING BULLY 8.7 THUMBS AND AR O S 29, WHICH IS A USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES. AND THEN THE ASSOCIATED OSTP 29 BAR, WHICH ARE FEES, UM, THAT ARE SET UP FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES. UM, AND SOME OF THE INDICATORS THAT WE HAVE, OR THE EVIDENCE THAT EVENTS ARE BEING ENTERED INTO. AND I PUT DOWN HERE FACILITIES, DUDE, IT'S ACTUALLY FS DIRECT ONE TIME. IT USED TO BE CALLED FACILITIES FOOD, BUT IT'S NOW CALLED THAT FIRST REP, UM, AND THEN AUDIT OUR FS FOR PAPERWORK TO ENSURE THAT THE AGREEMENTS ARE BEING SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARM. SO WHAT I'VE PROVIDED FOR YOU IN THIS PACKET IS A COPY OF FIRST OFF AS A COPY OF OUR STANDARD FACILITIES USE AGREEMENT. SO THESE ARE USED FOR ONE TIME USE, UM, AND ALL THE SCHOOLS HAVE ACCESS TO THIS. SO IF THE GROUP WANTS TO USE, SAY DEFERRED HIGH TO HAVE A ROTARY ASSEMBLY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, UM, THE SCHOOL THAT WOULD BE HANDLED THROUGH THE SCHOOL, THEY WOULD USE THIS FORM FOR THE AGREEMENT. UM, AND THEN THE OTHER THING THAT THEY WOULD IN ON HERE, YOU SEE, THEY CALCULATE THE FEES ACCORDING TO AAR S 29 R. AND, UH, THEY, WE HAD ALSO ASKED FOR THERE THAT INSURANCE, THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE THEN LOADED INTO FS, DIRECT TO SHOCK ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR THE EVENT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED ONCE THAT IS SUBMITTED AND THE PRINCIPAL SIGNS OFF ON IT. BUT THE PRINCIPAL HAS TO APPROVE IT. THEN EMAILS AUTOMATICALLY GO OUT TO CUSTODIAL AUTOMATICALLY GO OUT TO OUR ENERGY MANAGER TO MAKE SURE THE AIR CONDITIONING'S ON. AND, UM, SO THAT'S THE PROCESS. WHEN YOU SAY ENERGY MANAGERS, IS THAT LIKE A DISTRICT POSITION OR IS THAT A SCHOOL? YEP. NO, YESTERDAY JD. SO, SO JV IS OUR ENERGY MANAGER. SO ALL OF OUR, UM, BUILDINGS HAVE A, UH, COMPUTERIZED MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING. SO LIKE I CAN PULL UP ANY BUILDING. I CAN PULL UP THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW AND HERE AND THERE'S ROOM OR [00:05:01] CHANGE HERE, OR SO JB IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING ALL THAT, PUTTING IN SCHEDULES, MAKING REQUESTS OR THINGS OF THIS NATURE, NATURE OF MONITORING YOUR ENERGY USE, AND ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, MONITORING REPAIRS FOR DIFFERENT UNITS TO FIND OUT WHAT UNITS THERE'S ALARM POINTS IN THAT YOU CAN SEE AND IT'LL HELP US TO DETERMINE, HEY, WE NEED TO SEND SOMEBODY OUT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OH, I DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF IT FOR THAT. I'M FINE. I NEED TO TURN ON MAYBE TURNS, WHEREAS THE SPEED IS THAT BETTER FIGHTS LOOK THIS WAY, MR. CAMPBELL. YES. OKAY. I WILL TRY TO LOOK THAT WAY AS I'M TALKING. SO THE NEXT PAGE ARE THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR GOVERNING A USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES. SO ANYBODY THAT USES THE FACILITIES RECEIVES A PAGE LIKE THIS, WHICH THEY'RE REQUIRED TO SIGN OFF ON AND RETURN. SO THESE ARE A LOT OF THE DO'S AND DON'TS, YOU KNOW, SUCH AS YOU CANNOT DEFACE THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU CANNOT ALLOW PER SESSION FOR SESSION, OR YOU SHOULD SAY OVER BEER, WINE, OR ALCOHOL, SOME OF THE BASIC THINGS THAT OF ANYBODY USING OUR FACILITIES, THESE ARE THE RULES THAT THEY NEED TO FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS ON THAT I WOULD GO INTO THE NEXT, UM, IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THE FIRST PAGE. SO THEN JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF THE MOST. SO, UM, LET'S JUST SAY SOMEONE COMES TO, LIKE YOU SAID, THE ROTARY COMES TO PUBERTY HIGH AND WANTS TO SEE IF THEY CAN USE THEIR BUILDING. SO THEN THEY CONTACT THE PRINCIPAL. SO OUR OFFICE MANAGER OR OFFICE MANAGER. OKAY. AND THEY FILL OUT THIS PAPERWORK RIGHT THERE. YEP. OKAY. AND THEN THAT PAPERWORK, I MEAN, IT'S ONLINE IS SUBMITTED. WHERE'S IT GO FROM THERE? THE OFFICE MANAGER, USUALLY ONCE THEY COLLECT EVERYTHING. SO THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT THAT DAY GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PROOF OF INSURANCE. SO THEY'D HAVE TO HAVE INSURANCE FOR THE EVENT IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S NAME. SO THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT. AND THEN THERE WOULD BE THE FEE AS WELL. UM, THAT COULD BE PROVIDED AT A LATER DATE, BUT THAT'S LOADED INTO FS THREAD. SO THE OFFICE MANAGER WOULD SCAN THOSE DOCUMENTS WITH THE EVENT AND THAT GOES INTO FS. OKAY. SO THEN WHEN YOU GO DOWN HERE TO NUMBER SIX AND IT SAYS, IT TALKS ABOUT, UM, UNLESS WAVED BY PAPER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, LESSEE SHALL OBTAIN, AND IT'S NOT EXPENSE KEEPING FORCE THE GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY. SO SOMEONE MIGHT GO OUT AND GET AN INSURANCE POLICY AND SHOW IT TO THE OFFICE MANAGER AND THEN IT GETS SENT DOWNTOWN. AND THEN THEY SAY, NO, DON'T WORRY. YOU DON'T NEED THAT. SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT UNLESS WAVED BY BEAVER COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT? WELL, THE, ACTUALLY THE ONLY TIME THAT THERE'S ANY KIND OF, I'D SAY WAVING, AND USUALLY IF WE HAVE AN MOU WHERE THERE'S PROVIDED UPFRONT THAT IT'S PART OF THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR ENTIRE INSURANCE PACKAGE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, BUT ANY INDIVIDUAL EVENT, WE, THE ONE THING WE ALWAYS REQUIRE, UM, AND MAYBE WE SHOULD REMOVE THAT LANGUAGE FROM THERE, BUT WE ALWAYS REQUIRE EACH WELL, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST READING THROUGH THIS AND I MEAN, NOT JUST WHEN I, WHEN I WAS PREPPING FOR TODAY, WELL, WHEN I WAS READING THROUGH THIS AND I SAW THAT I WAS LOOKING USED, CAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. SO I DIDN'T REALIZE EVERYTHING GOES TO LIKE THE OFFICE MANAGER OR WHOMEVER, THE DESIGNEE OF THE PRINCIPAL. AND THEN ONCE I HAVE EVERYTHING, IT GOES TO BRANDY, UM, IT'S JUST KNOWN AS LOADED TO FS DIRECT. SO THEY WOULD, UH, SEEK OUT BRANDY IF THEY HAD QUESTIONS, TYPICALLY IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED HELP, UH THAT'S WHEN BRANDY GETS INVOLVED OR IF IT'S A MULTIPLE EVENTS OR MULTIPLE SCHOOL EVENTS. SO IF THEY'RE WANTING TO RENT IT FOR A YEAR, BRANDY GETS INVOLVED. IF THEY WANT TO RENT, IT WOULD GO TO FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN A WEEKEND. RANDY WOULD GET INVOLVED IN THAT. BUT IF IT'S A SINGLE EVENT, MOST SINGLE EVENTS TO SCHOOLS COULD HANDLE ONE MR. CAMPBELL. OH YEAH. WELL THE FEE, BECAUSE SHE HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE TO WAIVE A FEE. SO WAIVING THE FEE AS IS DESIGNATED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OR HIS DESIGNEE. AND LAST PERSONALLY AS ME AND MY STANDARD FOR WAIVING FEES IS I ASKED WHAT BENEFIT ARE THERE FOR THE STUDENTS TO BE FOR COUNTY. AND THEY HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT THAT BENEFIT IS. YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S A SCHOLARSHIP OR FREE, IF IT'S A HUNDRED DOLLARS A STUDENT AND THEY'RE GIVING 10, FIVE STUDENTS FREE ADMISSION AND A BRIEF COUNTY [00:10:01] STUDENTS, AND THAT'S WHERE $500, THEN I'D WAIT $500. SO MY STANDARD, WHEN I ASKED IS WHAT HAS BENEFIT TO COUNTY STUDENTS. AND THAT AMOUNT IS WHAT I'LL WAIVE UP TO. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT GETS TO YOU. I DON'T HAVE TO ASK. IT WOULD HAVE TO, YES. SO IF THEY'RE WAIVING FEES, THEY HAVE TO MAKE THAT REQUEST. SO YOU HAVE TO CALL OR SEND AN EMAIL AND SAY, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE FEES WAIVED AT THIS EVENT BECAUSE THEY DO THIS FOR OUR SCHOOL. YEAH. GENERALLY THAT THOSE BEADS HAVE BEEN WAIVED WHEN THERE IS SOME FORM OF PARTNERSHIP THAT THE SCHOOL OR THE DISTRICT IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEING WHAT'S BEING PRESENTED OR WHAT THEY USE OR THE FACILITY IS BEING USED FOR THAT PARTICULAR TIME. I MEAN, LET'S HYPOTHETICALLY SAY EXAMPLE, ONE OF THOSE AFTER SCHOOL GROUPS THAT WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO PUT ON SOMETHING AT THE SCHOOL AS A FUNDRAISER FOR THEMSELVES, OR AS A PRESENTATION FOR WHAT THEY DO AFTER SCHOOL. AND THEY HAVE TO ENGAGE THE USE OF THE FACILITY THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS HERE FOR THE MOST PART. AND IT WAS THE PROBABLY WOULD BE WITH THEM, BUT THEY, YOU KNOW, TO KNOW THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE AUDITORIUM IS OPEN AND USABLE LAPTOP. THEY HAVE TO GO TO THIS APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE USE OF IT. BUT, UH, FOR THE MOST PART, SINCE THEIR PARTNERS, WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T CHARGE THEM A FEE. THAT THAT WOULD BE WHAT, THAT'S MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT. NOW I'VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS AND OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL PARAMETERS AND, AND UH, MOST OF THE TIME YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THAT INSURANCE WILLIAMS IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE, BUT SOMETIMES YOU WILL GET THE FEEDS WHEN THEY THINK IT'S A, IT'S A, IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY. THE OTHER, I GUESS THE ONLY OTHER ENTITY, IF THE COUNTY OR ANOTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY ASKS, WE TYPICALLY, SINCE IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM, AND IT SLIPPED THE LIABILITY INSURANCE CAUSE THIS CAME UP RIGHT. IT'S A PARTICIPANT LIABILITY INSURANCE. WELL, THERE'S PARTICIPANT COVERAGE ON TOP OF THAT, IF IT'S AN ATHLETIC EVENT. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY ATHLETIC, ANY ATHLETIC, OKAY. SO PROBLEM IS WITH THE ADULT. THEY DON'T OFFER. WHAT WE RAN INTO IS THAT FOR ANY ATHLETIC EVENT, WE ALWAYS REQUIRED PARTICIPANTS COVERAGE. WELL, I GUESS MY UNDERSTANDING WAS WHEN THE ADULT LEAGUE ASKED THERE ISN'T A PARTICIPANT'S COVERAGE FOR AN ADULT IT'S FOR JACOB'S CHILDREN. UM, SO THAT KIND OF THREW US A LOOP BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE USED TO HAVE AN ATHLETES, BUT SOMEONE WE ENDED UP DOING, UM, WE ENDED UP, UH, HAVING THEM RIGHT ONTO THEIR, UM, JENNIFER STATEMENT WENT THROUGH AND REVIEWED IT. SO THEY HAD US ADDED TO THEIR INSURANCE POLICY AS AN INSURED. SO THEY BROUGHT IN THEIR ENTIRE INSURANCE POLICY FOR THEIR TEAM AND THEY ADDED US AS A NAMED INSURED, WHICH IS A STEP BEYOND WHAT WE WANT. WE TYPICALLY ASK FOR THE PLAN TO BE COVERED WITH US AS A NAMED INSURED. THEY ADDED US TO THEIR ENTIRE POLICY AS A NAME OF, UM, BECAUSE ONE THING, WHEN I, WHEN I WAS WORKING WITH A THEATER PROGRAM FACILITY, TRYING TO GET THE FACILITY WAS A NIGHTMARE. IT'S USED ALL THE TIME. THERE WAS SOME DISCREPANCY AS TO WHO HAD THE AUTHORITY, WHETHER IT WAS THE PRINCIPAL OR THE DISTRICT, AND IT PING-PONGED AROUND WITH EVERYONE POINTS FINGERS AT EVERYONE ELSE. SO, UM, AND THEN THE LIABILITY COVERAGE, AND I'M READING HERE THAT YOU CAN'T JUST GET A LITTLE CAPRICIOUS, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY THAT EVERY ATHLETIC EVENT REQUIRES PARTICIPANT INSURANCE, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT DOWN. SO PEOPLE KNEW THAT UP FRONT AND THEN IT SAYS YOU CAN ALSO REQUIRE SOME, WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WAS A THING, SEXUAL MOLESTATION COVERAGE. THAT WOULD BE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT EVENT WE'D GO TO JENNIFER STAYTON. SHE TOLD US A RECOMMENDED SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. WE HAVE THAT FOOT ON IT JUST, I MEAN, PERSONALLY, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE IT JUST REALLY LAID OUT. AND THIS IS I'M LOOKING AT EYLEA JUST BECAUSE HAVE YOU TRIED TO RENT STUFF FROM THAT RENTAL AND USE IT FOR THE SCHOOL? EVEN MY HOUSE, IT WAS A SCHOOL EVENT. SO THERE'S NO DEVIATION FROM THE FEE CONTRACT, BUT THE SCHOOL, THE PRINCIPAL HAS NO AUTHORITY TO BE HERE. SO THEY CAN'T APPROVE OR DENY THEY CAN APPROVE OR DENY, BUT THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE FORM. THEY CAN'T WAIT FEES. THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE INSURANCE THEY CAN DOING. [00:15:01] SO CAN YOU CLARIFY THE TOTAL BECAUSE I KNOW IT GOES TO THEM AS WE PLAYED OUT, GOES TO SCHOOL, INTO FS, DIRECT WHO CAN EITHER REVIEW, DENY A REQUEST OR REALLY IT'S THE PRINCIPLE THAT NO, I MEAN, IT'S, THE PRINCIPAL IS THE ONE THAT'S THE FINAL APPROVAL, BUT WE'RE THERE AS MORE, UH, TO ASSIST THEM IN THROUGH THE PROCESS ON HOW TO PUT THE, SO IF SOMEONE, I'M SORRY TO SAY THIS THOUGH, IF A PRINCIPAL WAIVE FEES, UM, WE'D PROBABLY WRITE THAT PRINCIPAL LAW AS GOING AGAINST THE AR. SO IT WOULD BE, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE IT, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE GONE AGAINST OUR ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND WE MIGHT'VE WRITTEN THAT PERSON UP FOR NOT FOLLOWING, BUT I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT, CAUSE THIS CAME UP, WAS PRINCIPALS HAVING PEOPLE THAT THEY LIKED TO RENT TO PEOPLE THEY DID. SO IS THERE ANY RECOURSE? I MEAN, THAT'S THE WAY WE SET UP THE AAR. SO IT'S SPELLED OUT, I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SITUATIONS AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO ADD TO MAKE THAT CLEARER. I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THOSE EXACT SITUATIONS. IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN ADD TO MAKE IT CLEARER, I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S, IT DOES A BOARD. SO SOMEONE SAYS, HAVE GOT DENIED. AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE PRINCIPAL DOESN'T LIKE ME OR BECAUSE I WANT TO HOLD A REPUBLICAN EVENT AND THE PRINCIPAL, WHATEVER IT IS. RIGHT. AND THEY FEEL LIKE IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. DO THEY HAVE RECOURSE OR IS IT JUST AS YOU LOOK AT THAT GROUP, THE FOOTBALL GROUP, THEY WENT TO THE BOAT AND THE MORGAN, THEN WE DIDN'T REALLY OVERRULE IT. WE JUST SAID AREN'T RIGHT. I MEAN, YOU'VE QUESTIONED THAT. I MEAN, HERE'S THE THING IS THAT THE FINAL DECISION IS REALLY WITH PRINCIPLES. OKAY. OKAY. IF THE BOARD IS TELLING THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK AT IT, THE SUPERINTENDENT IS GOING TO LISTEN. IF THE SUPERINTENDENT IS TELLING THE PRINCIPAL, THEY NEED TO REVIEW, THE PRINCIPAL IS GOING TO LISTEN. SO DIRECTLY INDIRECTLY, YOU HAVE AUTHORITY AND THAT'S KIND OF PLAY OUT WITH YOU. DON'T FEEL LONELY. UH, MR. THERE ISN'T A NATURAL, UH, FREE COST TO THE SUPERINTENDENT PRINCIPAL. LIKE YOU SAY IN THE NIGHT, MY DIZZY, LIKE, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO DENY IT MEAN BECAUSE BASICALLY THE REASON WE'VE SAID IT IN THAT WAY, THE PRINCIPAL KNOWS THE ACTIVITIES GOING ON AT THEIR SCHOOL. NOW WE'VE SET STIPULATIONS. LIKE THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DENY IT FOR, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT, CAUSE THEY HAVE TO SAY WHAT THE REASONS ARE THAT THEY ARE DENYING IT. THEY CAN'T JUST SAY, NO, I DON'T LIKE THE PERSON THAT WOULD NOT BE, THAT WOULD GO AGAINST THE AR ACTUALLY IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE LISTED REASONS. AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT IS SCHEDULED, YEAH. THEY BE USED. BUT I MEAN, IF THERE IS A REASON AT 10 IS USUALLY BECAUSE PROBABLY DENIED WITHOUT DUE PROCESS AND THE PERSON'S MIND OFF, THEY ASKING FOR SOMETHING THAT THE PRINCIPAL CAN'T DELIVER LIKE A FEE WAIVER. AND THAT HAS TO GO TO THE SUPERVISOR. THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW, BUT THAT'S THE WAY WHEN IT'S LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO PAY THE FEE. I'VE GOT NO MONEY TO PAY THE FEE AND CAN THE FREEBIE WITH THE PRINCIPAL OR PRINCIPALS IN THIS CAPACITY AND THE SCHOOL AS A, I DON'T THINK THE FEE WILL BE WAIVED NOW, BUT I'LL GET IT TO THE SUPERINTENDENCY WITH LISA. AND A COUPLE OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY, UH, BOSS WAIVED THE V. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GENERALLY THE RECOURSE. I LIKE IT TO BE, YOU KNOW, WRITTEN AND UNDERSTOOD THAT WAY SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T TAKE THEIR GETTING, YOU KNOW, BIAS DENIALS, BECAUSE YOU WANT THE PRINCIPAL TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, CONTROL THE USE OF HIS FACILITIES TO A DEGREE, BUT THERE'S A PUBLIC USE. YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO BE DENIED WILLY NILLY. SO I DON'T, I CAN'T SEE IT ALL, BUT I, I I'M HEARING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE BE MADE CLEAR THAT THEY DO HAVE THE SUPERINTENDENT AS THE LAST STOP. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE ONCE THE POLICY IS SET AND THE SUPERINTENDENT THERE'S ER PLAYERS, AND WE AGREED THAT WE LIKED THE WAY HE'S MANAGING IT. AND THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. AND IF THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF APPLICANTS, THEN WE ACTIVELY LOOK AT THAT AR AGAIN [00:20:01] AND MAKE SOME CHANGES TO ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE LIKE THE MOST OF THE CIVIC WHERE PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTAND WHY A LOT EASIER. WHY NOT? THAT'S, THAT'S MY TAKE ON THIS. I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, IF I'M IN THE CONVERSATION OR NOT THAT I'M TRYING TO SO UNDERSTAND IT BEST I CAN. OKAY. THAT SOUNDS GOOD. UM, MR. EARL CAMPBELL, UH, YES. UM, WE, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING. UM, WE HAVE HAD, WE HAD ONE GUY COMPLAINED BECAUSE HE WANTED TO USE A CERTAIN FIELD AND THE COACH SAID COULD NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE GAMES THERE. UM, YOU KNOW, SO I, I THINK WE GOT TO GO HAVE A GOOD POSITIVE, WE HAVE NEVER REFUSED ANYONE. UM, YOU KNOW, IF, IF A PERSON WANT TO USE A FIELD, UH, THE FOOTBALL OR SOCCER OR WHATEVER, AND, AND, AND THE, UH, DAD PAID THE DIRECTOR AND THE PRINCIPAL AT THAT SCHOOL AND THE COACHES, IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING THE FIELD, THEN THEY GET FIRST CHOICE, YOU KNOW, SO NOW THEY CAN GET AN ALTERNATE GO TO ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, AND THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THIS GENTLEMAN BEFORE, BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO NEXT STEP THAT HE WANTED. HE WANTED THE ONE ON, UH, REFERENCING THE, UH, MR. MITCHELL SITUATION. I'M TALKING ABOUT HILTON HEAD HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH ITS FACILITY USE BECAUSE IT'S HIGH IT'S IN HIGH DEMAND. AND SO WE'VE HAD PREVIOUS TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. IT'S A LOT OF ISSUES AS TO WHO ACTUALLY HAVE THE AUTHORITY. UM, AND SO JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, THEY ACTUALLY CANCELED ONE OF OUR SCHOOL PRODUCTIONS AND THEY SAID THE DISTRICT HAD OVERRIDDEN HER TO RENT IT OUT PRIVATELY, BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN RIGHT THERE. IT'S JUST, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CLARIFY, WHO ULTIMATELY CAN SAY, AND MR. MITCHELL FACTORS IN, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED AND FEEL, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS WAS BECAUSE IT IS MORE OF AN ISSUE I THINK, ON HILTON HEAD. OKAY. THANK YOU. I WOULD SAY TWO THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY GAME-CHANGERS NUMBER ONE, GOING TO TURF FIELDS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE, WE HAD WANTED TO KEEP PEOPLE OFF THE FIELDS TO KEEP THE UPKEEP OF THE FIELDS IN THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE FOR THE TEAM. THAT'S KIND OF GONE NOW, WHAT SORT OF FIELDS? UM, IT OPENS THAT UP QUITE A BIT MORE. NOW WE STILL DON'T HAVE THAT BASEBALL OR THE SECONDARY FIELD, BUT NOW WE CAN OPEN OURSELVES UP QUITE A BIT MORE ON THE STADIUM FIELDS. THE OTHER THING IS I BELIEVE ADMINISTRATION AND THE BOARD'S ATTITUDE HAS CHANGED CONSIDERABLY IN MY, IN THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, THAT THERE IS A DESIRE FOR IT TO BE MORE OPEN AND NOT, I MEAN, IN Y'ALL'S ZOE JUST PRETTY MUCH SAYS, Y'ALL SAID WE SHALL NOT LIMIT ANYONE FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT, WITHOUT HAVING DOCUMENTATION. SO IT'S KIND OF COME ACROSS LOUD AND CLEAR. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO OPEN UP FACILITIES AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT I'M DRIVING AT TOO. IT'S JUST UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY WERE. OKAY. SORRY. SO THAT WAS A LONG SERIES OF QUESTIONS. I APOLOGIZE. WE'RE NOW ON. OH YEAH. GREAT. SO JUST AGAIN, BACK TO THE PROCESS AND I APOLOGIZE. SO IF THE APPLICANT GIVES EVERY, IT NEEDS TO, TO THE BOOKKEEPER AND EVERYTHING'S GOOD, THE PRINCIPAL SAYS, YES, WE GOT EVERYTHING. WE NEED THE FEE, THE INSURANCE AND EVERYTHING. AND IT GOES INTO FS, DIRECT WHO, SO DOES BRANDY LOOK AT THAT IF SHE NEEDS TO, IF SHE NEEDS, OKAY, SO THAT, SO THAT'S BASICALLY, THAT'S WHAT STOPS THERE. YEAH. THE PRINCIPAL SIGNS OFF ON IT, THE PROGRAM AUTOMATICALLY PUTS IT ON THE SCHOOL CALENDAR. IT SENDS OUT AN EMAIL, LIKE I SAID TO THE ENERGY MANAGER SENDS OUT AN EMAIL TO CUSTODIAL MAINTENANCE SO THAT EVERYBODY'S AWARE, THEY KNOW THE TIMES I KNOW THE RESPONSIBILITIES. IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK IN WITH CUSTODIAL TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE PEOPLE AVAILABLE. SO I MEAN, ANYBODY, UH, WE HAVE THIS, HASN'T BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST, BUT RECENTLY IT'S BECOME A PROBLEM THAT CUSTODIAL MAY NOT HAVE THE PEOPLE AVAILABLE TO ACTUALLY COVER THEM, ESPECIALLY, HEY, ROBERT, WE DOWNSTAIRS IN THE LIBRARY, WE DOWNSTAIRS CAUSE SOMEONE LET US IN. SO THIS IS MY, THIS IS WHERE I'M DRIVING RIGHT NOW. SO THERE IS A, THERE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT A SCHOOL WILL HAVE A FUNCTION THAT THE DISTRICT OFFICE IS AWARE OF. RIGHT. I MEAN, IS THERE A COST, SO HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT THE PROCESS IS BEING FOLLOWED? [00:25:01] JUST BECAUSE I HAD HEARD THAT THERE WAS A MEETING, A PUBLIC MEETING OUT OF SCHOOL AND, AND NONE OF THIS WAS DONE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE. SO THAT VERY MUCH CONCERNS ME THE COUNTY, UH, WE DO HERE. AND WE TRY TO SAY, IT'S GOTTEN BETTER. I WILL SAY THAT. UM, SO ON YOUR THING, WE ALSO ENCOURAGE SCHOOLS TO PUT SCHOOL EVENTS INTO FX. DIRECT. SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. THE WHOLE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT IF YOU GOT TO HAVE A BASKETBALL GAME OR EVENT OFFICE MANAGER, IF SOMEBODY MISSES IT IT'LL, THAT SPACE WILL ALREADY BE RESERVED. SO WE ENCOURAGED NOW SOME, LIKE I SAID, SOME SCHOOLS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS AND SOME REALLY USE IT LIKE THAT. OTHERS DO NOT, UH, FOR ALL THEIR, UM, OUTSIDE OF, I'D SAY, YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS AGO WE FIND OUT A LOT OF EVENTS BY FLYERS AND THINGS. AND THEN WE CALL THE SCHOOL AND SAY, HEY, WHAT IS THIS? UM, I THINK, UM, I DON'T THINK AS MUCH OF THAT HAPPENS ANYMORE. I DO HEAR ABOUT THOSE EVERY NOW AND THEN, UM, THE PROPER RECOURSE QUITE FRANKLY, WOULD BE FOR ME OR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO WRITE THAT PRINCIPAL UP BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOW GONE AGAINST THE POLICY OF OUR, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE RULE AND THEY DID NOT FALL. SO QUITE FRANKLY, THEY'RE BREAKING THE RULES. MS. FISHER IS CONCERNED BECAUSE YOU DO GET THIS KIND OF FEEDBACK. THAT'S WHAT A LITTLE BIT HAPPENED WITH SORT OF A FIEFDOM, THE SCHOOL AND THAT. WELL, I MEAN, IF YOU EVER HEAR OR FIND OUT YOU THAT READ TO SEND THAT MY WAY AND WE'LL TRACK IT DOWN. I MEAN, UH, CAUSE THAT IN THEORY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENED HAPPENING. HE DOES STILL HAPPEN. I'D SAY WAY LESS THAN IT USED TO. UM, BUT, UM, I KNOW OF AN EVENT THAT OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER, SO, AND SO THEN THAT LEADS TO INCONSISTENCY AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, WELL, YOU LET THEM, HOW COME, WHAT DO YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS AND EVERYTHING. SO CAN YOU JUST AT WHAT, HOW DO PRINCIPALS KNOW ABOUT THIS? HOW DO NEW PRINCIPALS KNOW ABOUT, SO THAT'S EVEN BETTER TWICE AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE WANTING TO WORK ON. SO WE DO AN OPERATION, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER THERE'S A NEW PRINCIPAL MEETING THAT WE COME IN AND TALK ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPS, FINANCE, WE BOMBARD THEM WITH A LOT OF INFORMATION. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE, AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL ALSO REMIND DIFFERENT WILL MEETINGS ABOUT FACILITIES USE. MATTER OF FACT, I THINK I DID IT THE LAST PRINCIPAL MEETING. I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT I BROUGHT UP ABOUT FACILITIES. UM, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT CUSTODIAL THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CUSTODIAL. SO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CHECKING. SO IT DOES GET BROUGHT UP PERIODICALLY. THE WHOLE USE OF F RAINY IS WANTING TO DO MORE PROGRAMS WITH ALL THE OFFICE MANAGERS, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS AS WE DID SOME REALLY, UM, OF DIRECT TRAINING WITH THEM. SO WE NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN. IT'S LOST NEW OFFICE MANAGERS. I KNOW THEY DID HAVE A RECENT OFFICE MANAGER TRAINING IN BRANDON IT'S PRESENTATION FOR ALL THE OFFICE MANAGERS AT THAT TRAINING, HOW IT NEEDS TO WORK. SO ARE THERE STILL THINGS SLIPPING THROUGH THE CRACKS? YES. CAN WE DO MORE? YES. THERE WE ARE DOING, UH, FISHER'S POINT. ROBERT IS THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE A MASTER MASTER PLAN OF THE FACILITIES USE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE, THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD TRUSTWORTHY PLAN AT THE, AT THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE AFTER SCHOOLS, WHERE WE TRUST THAT THEY'RE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THAT PLAN SAYS. AND THEY, THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BEING ADDITIONAL IN TERMS OF, OF HOW WE USE OUR FACILITIES AND, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BE FAIR, HAVING IT USED THROUGH A STEP BY STEP PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE IN PLACE. SO EVERYBODY WHO'S USING IT IS NO ONE AT THE DISTRICT THROUGH THEIR PLAN. IF YOU CAN CALL IT SCHOOL BEING USED IN THE NIGHT. AND THAT MASTER PLAN SHOWS THAT IT IS BEING USED AND HE KNOWS WHY AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN VETTED. THAT'S GREAT. BUT IF IT'S BEING USED AND HE DOESN'T KNOW, THEN WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT. AND THAT'S WHERE THE CONSISTENCY WEIGHTS DOWN. SO UNLESS, YOU KNOW, REALLY HAMMER HOME THESE THINGS AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE MEETINGS WITH FACILITY, THEY NOT GOING TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE AND, YOU KNOW, AND IT'S LIKELY THAT THEY WON'T BE DOING THE SAME THINGS AND EACH OF THE 32 BUILDINGS. SO THAT'S WHERE, YOU [00:30:01] KNOW, I THINK WE TALKING WITH TIGHTENING UP AND I HEAR THIS PROCESS AND IT'S A GOOD ONE. I THINK IT'S GREAT. BUT WE DO HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CHECK THAT BALANCE ON IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CHECK TO MAKE SEAL THAT WHAT THAT MASTER PLAN SHOWS AT THE SCHOOL SITE IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL SITE. AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THAT, THAT CALLARD THOUGH THE EVENTS THAT'S HAPPENING A LOT BETTER THAN THE PRINCIPAL ON HAVING EACH OF THESE DIDN'T HAVE A TRUSTWORTHY COPY. THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT EACH OF THOSE ADMINISTRATORS UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S A BIG RESPONSIBILITY. THAT'S WHAT I'D TAKE. THAT'S WHAT I UNDERSTAND IN THE DOMINANCY. ALL RIGHT. YEAH, I AGREE. SO WE'RE ALL IN CONSENSUS HERE ON THE BOARD YOU WANT TO DO, WE WANT TO BRIEFLY AND QUICKLY RUN OVER RULES AND REGULATIONS OR PRISON. CAN YOU KIND OF ALREADY DID THAT? UM, UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE ROAD. UM, THE LAST THING THAT I HAD FOR YOU WAS ON THE, THE, YEAH, THE LAST SHEET ROBIN, WHICH SHOWS THE USE FOR, UM, UH, THE LAST YEAR NOW PREVIOUS, UH, OPERATIONS COMMITTEES WANTED TO SEE THIS KIND OF THIS ISN'T, UH, SET UP IN OUR OEE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR US TO REPORT TO YOU. SO YOUR FEEDBACK IS WELCOME, WHETHER YOU WANT TO SEE THIS OR SOMETHING ELSE OR WHAT YOUR INTEREST IS, BUT THIS WAS KIND OF, AND OF COURSE THIS SHOWS THE USE FOR 20 21, 20, 20, 20, 21 SCHOOL YEAR WAS SOVIET YEAR, WHICH WAS WEIRD AND IT'S NOT NORMAL. AND SO, I MEAN LIKE WHAT YOU DO HAVE, YOU'LL SEE RIGHT OFF THE BAT, WHICH IS NOT NORMAL. YOU'RE FAITH BASED. WE ONLY HAD 20 MINUTES THAT 20 IS EACH INDIVIDUAL EVENT. SO IF YOU HAD A SUNDAY, THAT'S A ONE, THE NEXT ONE IS A TWO. UM, WE, WE PRETTY MUCH SHUT DOWN FOR CHURCHES DURING COVID. UM, AND THEN EVEN AS WE OPENED BACK UP, SAY BATTERY CREEKS AT A CHURCH GOING THERE FOR A LONG TIME, BUT OF COURSE, BETTER CREEKS NOW IN CONSTRUCTION. SO IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO MEET THERE. SO WHAT YOU SEE IS IT'S, YOU KNOW, AND EVEN AT THE TOP, THEY'LL SEE THEIR SCHOOL EVENTS. SO THAT'S WHERE SCHOOLS HAVE ENTERED THEIR EVENTS AS WE ASKED THEM TO. AND, YOU KNOW, OVER HALF OF THESE ARE ALMOST WELL UNDER HALF OF THESE ARE SCHOOL. LIKE THAT NUMBER TO GET HIGHER AS POSSIBLE. IS THAT JUST AS MR. CAMPBELL WAS REFERRING TO, THAT'S KIND OF FORMING THAT CALENDAR OF WHAT'S GOING ON, IS THERE A RESERVING THE SPACES? UM, SO YEAH, I WON'T TALK IN THERE'S SOME NOTES OVER TO THE SIDE OR WHAT GROUPS OR HOW WE GOT TO THOSE NUMBERS. SO, UH, UNLESS ONE OF THE THINGS INTERESTING THERE, I THINK IT FORCES GOVERNMENT MENTAL AGENCY USE, YOU HAVE FOUR, AND THAT WAS FOR THE COVID DRIVE THREE AND TESTINGS THAT WE DID, WHICH THAT'S NOT NORMAL, BUT ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE EVENTS? HOW ABOUT DIFFERENT KIND OF, UH, COUNSEL, UH, UM, I'M, I'M I'M AS THE DEPUTY WAS AT SCHOOL, UH, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. WELL, NOW THIS IS 20, 20, 20 21. SO THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST YEAR ENDING IN JULY. IT WOULD NOT BE THIS CURRENT NUMBERS. SO IT WAS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, IT WOULD NOT BE. AND BASICALLY THIS IS, THIS IS THE MASTER SCHEDULE. EVERYONE WHO WOULD USE OUR FACILITIES IS THAT THIS IS THIS, I DON'T KNOW IF SCHEDULE IS THE RIGHT WORD, BUT THIS IS, YES, THIS IS A COUNT OF EVERYBODY THAT SHOWS UP FOR LESS FOOD. AND THAT'S A BALL WITH 33 BUILDINGS. SO THIS WOULD BE ALL BUILDING. YES. OKAY. EVERYTHING THAT WAS ENTERED INTO FS FOR EITHER THE CAMPBELL'S HAVE A QUESTION. NO, AT ALL THAT MY ASS DOWN NOW, I THINK IT'S GOOD. WE KEEP THAT DOCUMENT THERE RATHER THAN GETTING ANYTHING ELSE FROM IT. THAT'S AT LEAST WE NEED THAT TO KNOW HOW, HOW WE USING IT, HOW WE CAN FACILITATE IT AND HOW IT, HOW IT INVOLVES OUR PROGRAM INTEGRATES WITH WHAT WE, WHAT WE WANT DONE OVERALL FROM OUR SITES COMMUNITY SITES. OKAY. ALSO, IS THERE A MASTER, UM, PLACE IN THE DISTRICTS WITH BAD DEBT THAT IS, UM, KEY WITH THIS WRITER AS WELL? SO I GUESS THE FS [00:35:01] DIRECT, WE'RE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT, THAT'S A SOFTWARE PROGRAM WITH EVERY EVENT THAT'S LISTED THERE. ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THAT EVENT WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND PLACED AN EMPHASIS DIRECT. SO THE OFFICE MANAGER AT THE SCHOOL WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE, UH, APPLICATION, THE INSURANCE, ANY THE FEE DOCUMENTATION, AND PUT THAT, SCAN THAT AND PUT THAT INTO FS DIRECT. UM, SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF YOUR POINTS, HOW DO WE NOT KNOW A LOT OF TIMES IF AN EVENT WASN'T REGISTERED, ONE WAY WE FIND OUT IS THEY ASKED FOR THAT'S OUR ONE CASE, ESPECIALLY IT GETS WARMER. IF THEY HAVEN'T ENTERED IT, WE HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. WE DON'T TURN ON AIR CONDITIONING. YOU'LL GET CALLS LATE AT NIGHT OR SATURDAY. HEY, WE HAVE THIS, THIS EVENT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY. SO I MOVED THAT A, UM, OPERATIONS COMMITTEE RECOMMEND TO THE FULL BOARD APPROVAL. OH, 8.7. YOU CAN HAVE A GENERAL IDEA. YES. IF WE EVER ACTUALLY HAD THE RIGHT WORD IN SOMEWHERE, I'D BE ALL ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S CLEAR. IT'S CONCISE. ROBIN'S TYPING UP THE SECOND. ROLL SECOND. OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. AYE. IT'S AMANDA ROBBED CORE TO GET STARTED. YEAH. ALRIGHT. WE ARE READY FOR SOME ROUGH RANDOM UPDATES. VERY GOOD. WE'LL ALL WANT TO PROBLEMS KIDS ALREADY. I WILL GO AHEAD AND DIVE IN. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY UPDATE FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION, UH, UPDATES, UH, THROUGH THE END OF MARCH, UH, LONG LEAD TIMES, COSTING GREASES CONTINUE TO BE ENCOUNTERED BECAUSE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND INFLATION. A LOT OF THIS IS FROM THE PANDEMIC, UH, BUT OUR PROJECT MANAGERS, AS I'VE REPORTED DOWN FOR THE LAST, UH, FEW MONTHS, CONTINUE TO DO A REALLY GOOD JOB WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE DESIGNERS AND THE CONTRACTORS TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THESE CHALLENGES. AND, UH, AT THE SAME TIME THAT THEY'RE KEEPING THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION STAFF. AND FOR ROBIN, IF YOU GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD TO SLIDE FIVE, THERE ARE TWO YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT APPEAR IN OUR, UH, MONTH, UH, PROJECT UPDATES, SAME NUMBER THAT WE REPORTED LAST MONTH. THE FIRST ONE IS THAT BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL, THE YELLOW LINE THERE CONTINUES TO BE RELATED TO, UM, POTENTIAL MATERIAL DELAYS. UH, THE MATERIAL DELAYS, UH, DO CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY. AND WE ARE, UH, PUTTING THE YELLOW LIGHT ON THERE MORE JUST TO BE CAUTIOUS AT THIS TIME. THINGS ARE STILL MOVING FORWARD ON SCHEDULE. UH, THAT SECOND ONE IS ASSOCIATED WITH SLIDE 27 THAT'S HILTON HEAD ISLAND MIDDLE-SCHOOL OR BUDGET CONCERNS. UH, WE, UH, DO FULLY EXPECT TO RECEIVE PRICING TO BE RECEIVED FOR THAT PROJECT. THE END OF THIS MONTH, SIX MONTHS. IT'S NOT THAT THOSE WORDS HAVE NO MEANING ANYMORE, BUT I FULLY YOU'RE FEEDING. IF WE, WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS JUST AS CLOSELY AS WE CAN, WE HAVE HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE REALLY IN THE DISTRICT'S BEST INTEREST TO FLUSH OUT BEFORE WE PUT IT ON TO A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. AND THESE COMMENTS ARE ALL COMING OUT OF THE, UM, LET'S SAY ONE THING, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU HAD THIS COMPETITION FOR, I'LL THROW IT OUT. WE DO HAVE A OSF INSPECTOR THAT HAS A REPUTATION THROUGHOUT AND FOR AND WE, THIS IS OUR FIRST RUN IN WITH HIM AND HE'S VERY TRYING AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IT AS BEST WE CAN, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN. I'VE MENTIONED THAT TO LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. SORRY. OH, GOOD QUESTION. UM, I KNOW SHE JUMPED FROM, FROM THE, FROM THE PIT WHEN WE STARTED THE FIRST GRADE, WAS IT THE FIRST LINE I ASKED ROBIN TO PULL UP. IT'S LIKE FIVE BECAUSE OF THE YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHT. AND THE NEXT ONE I MOVED TO WAS WHERE THE SECOND, UH, YELLOW TRAFFIC LINE APPEARS WE SHOULD SLIDE 27 [00:40:10] THAT'S ALL HE DOES. THAT'S CONTINUATION. THAT'S FIVE AND SIX ARE THE SAME PROJECT. THE YELLOW LIGHT SHOWS UP ON THE COVER. TURN BACK ONE PAGE OF CONSTRUCTION. THIS BOARD SAVE THE BATTERY CREEK. THAT'S THE SLIDE. AND THAT SLIDE SENDS YOU TO SLIDE SEVEN SO THAT IT ADDRESSES THAT YELLOW FLAG. THANK YOU. UH, I GUESS THE NEXT SLIDE ROBIN, GO AHEAD TO SLIDE 52, UH, ANTICIPATING A QUESTION COMING FROM THE ST. HELENA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GYM. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THE LAST BULLET POINT THERE WE HAVE, UH, RECEIVED THE ENTRY CANOPY ELEVATIONS THAT WE'VE SPOKE OF. PREVIOUSLY. THOSE HAVE BEEN, UH, SHARED WITH OUR, UH, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, AJAX. UH, AJAX IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO PROVIDE US WITH A PRICE PROPOSAL FIRE THROUGH THE END OF APRIL SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW, UH, THE COSTS FOR THE OPTIONS THAT WE'VE PREPARED THROUGH THE ARCHITECT. AND ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S THAT ENTRY THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A FEW TIMES OR REPORTS LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, MOVING ON TO SLIDE 68 AND 69 DEAL WITH PROJECT CLOSE OUTS. I'M PROUD TO STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY. WE COMPLETED AND CLOSED OUT 21 PROJECTS THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH 8% CAPITAL PROJECTS IN THE MONTH OF MARCH. THAT'S EXCELLENT PROGRESS THERE. UH, FROM THE REFERENCE OF PROJECTS, A RECAP, WE HAVE SEVEN OF THEM, UH, CLOSED DOWN TODAY. UH, WE HAVE MOVED THE TWO PROJECTS THAT, UH, UH, ARE NOW IN THE CLOSEOUT PHASE THAT'S LADY'S ISLAND, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND RIGHT CHOICES TO THE SECTION AND FOR THE SIX THAT WE'VE BEEN REPORTING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE REMAINING ITEMS FOR THAT DEDUCTIVE CHANGE ORDER THAT HAS BEEN FULLY EXECUTED FOR THE, EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS WITH YELLOW LIGHTS. SO THAT'S BEEN UPDATED AND THE LAST ITEM TO GET IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE IS THE FINAL, UH, THOSE FINAL PAYOUTS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED. THEY'RE BEING RECEIVED AND AS THEY COME IN, WE'RE REVIEWING THEM. AND, UH, THOSE ARE VERY CLOSE TO COMING ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. AND, UH, THOSE YELLOW LIGHTS WILL GO AWAY. WE DO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THESE ON A WEEKLY BASIS, AS WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE, UH, MOVING TO SLIDE 74. THIS IS THE CASHFLOW OF THE FIGURES THERE FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH. WE'VE BEEN ADDED TO THE BOTTOM OF OUR TOTAL FINANCIAL EXPENDITURES NOW FOR THE REFERENDUM THROUGH THE END OF MARCH. NOW TOTAL $119,539,651. THE, UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH SLIDE IS THE NEXT ONE THAT I'D LIKE TO, UH, DISCUSS THAT SLIDE 78. ABSOLUTELY. JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK TO IT. YOU SAID YOU'RE APRIL, YOU'VE SPENT ONE, 119,000. WAS IT FORECASTING MARCH 31ST AT THE END OF MARCH 31ST, THE TOTAL SPENT TODAY IS 119,000,539, UH, $651. I'M TRYING TO FIND IF I ASKED IT JUST THAT IT DOESN'T LATCH UP THE FORECAST IN TOTAL. AND I WAS JUST WONDERING, IT'S EITHER 1 24 OR 1 39. THE FORECAST, THE TOTAL IS 1 24 0.6 THROUGH THE END OF MARCH. SO WE'RE THEN ABOUT $5 BILLION OF OUR BOARD, WHICH, UH, CONTINUES TO MODEL CLOSER TO THIS CURRENT MODEL THAN WE HAD HISTORICALLY COME OUT OF THE GATE WITH. UH, SO, UH, WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT. AND ONCE AGAIN, WE DO HAVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT CASH FLOW INFORMATION RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS BOND SALES THAT HAVE OCCURRED TO DATE THE DOLLAR, AND THESE ARE SPENDING FOR THEM NOT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. YES, THESE ARE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ATE OUT. IF WE LOOK AT WHAT'S BEEN PAID AND WHAT'S BEEN COVERED OUT OF THE 304 MILLION, THE BALANCE THAT REMAINS STILL AVAILABLE IS DOWN TO JUST UNDER $99 MILLION. SO THAT'S REPRESENTING A, ROUGHLY 28.7% IS WHAT ROOMMATES. SO I, I, I WOULD ADD HERE, WE WERE KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT THIS NUMBER JUST BECAUSE NOW WE'VE GOT RUBBER SMALLS ONLINE. NOW WE'VE GOT BETTER DEGREES. WE'RE RUNNING OVER 10 MILLION. WE'RE RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS RIGHT NOW. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE 11, WE SPENT A LITTLE OVER 11 AND A HALF [00:45:01] MILLION, WHICH WAS OUR GOAL FOR THE MONTH PREVIOUS. SO WE'RE ACTUALLY, I THINK, LAGGING ABOUT A MONTH ONLINE, WHICH IS BETTER THAN ME. YEAH. SO, I MEAN, I, I BE EXCITED IF WE GET THIRD BETWEEN 13 AND 14 MILLION NEXT MONTH WILL BE FIVE MORE. WE THOUGHT, WE'LL SEE. I MEAN, WE'LL BE RIDING STRIPES. SO I, WHAT I'D SAY IS THIS A GOOD SIGN? THAT FOR ME, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NUMBER FOR ME NOW, BECAUSE THAT JUST TELLS US WHERE WE ARE AND HOW MUCH MOMENTUM WE HAVE. I SAY, WE'RE SLIGHTLY BEHIND ME, BUT WE'RE CATCHING UP PRETTY BREEZY. I SAID, WITH THAT MOMENTUM, WE WILL SEE THAT PACE TO GO FORWARD THROUGH THE REMAINING PORTION OF THIS YEAR. SO THAT ACTUALLY THE ONE HICCUP, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S REALLY SLOWING US DOWN THAT IS NOT STARTING AND THAT'S HURTING. AND I'M EVENTUALLY YOUR COYOTE IS GOING TO CATCH THE RUBBER. I BELIEVE IT AND FEEL IS THE KEY I SAY, ASK YOU TO START. NO, IT IS THAT'S AND THAT'S A GOOD TRANSITION TO GO SLICE, UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, UH, HELPING THAT ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL. WE DID HOLD OUR, UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, JOHN MARCH 31ST, WHERE WE WENT OVER AND SHARED THE PROJECT DETAILS WITH THE ATTENDEES. UH, WE ALSO HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH THE FUTURE MEETINGS FOR THE FEEDER SCHOOLS AND THEY'RE STARTING TO COME TOGETHER. WHAT WE HAVE IS A UPCOMING MEETING TO SHARE THE PLANS FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND, MIDDLE SCHOOL, WITH THE ILN, UH, SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE ARTS. THAT'S GOING TO BE ON APRIL 26 AT 4:30 PM. WE'LL BE DOING THE SAME AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND ELEMENTARY ON MAY 12TH. THAT TIME IS STILL BEING IRONED OUT. AND WE ALSO WANT TO DO AN UPDATE WITH THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND, BOYS CROSS FLOP THAT DATE AND TIME STILL BEING DETERMINED, BUT JUST AS WE'VE DONE BEFORE, ONCE WE HAVE THINGS LOCKED IN, I'LL GET THE INFORMATION TO ROBIN. SO THAT THAT INFORMATION CAN BE DISSEMINATED ALL THE BOARD. AND I DON'T WANT TO MONOPOLIZE, BUT IT IS HILTON HEAD. SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S MY, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S SO CRITICAL BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A POPULATION OF HEALTH THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY SHOW UP FOR STUFF. AND IT'S THE SAME GROUP OF PARENTS. SO I THINK THIS IS EXCELLENT BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BRING IN OTHER PARENTS BECAUSE PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR IT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S ON, THEY HAVE NO IDEA. AND, UH, EXACTLY. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THE ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS HAVING THE PRINCIPALS IN CHARGE OF OUTREACH, LIKE SCHOOL BY SCHOOL. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE BEST MODEL BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A CLUSTER THEY SAY, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THE COMMUNITY EXCITED, NOT JUST THE STUDENTS, RIGHT? LIKE YOU WANT THE TAX CARES AND THE COMMUNITY LEADERS. I'D LOVE TO SEE THE TOWN COUNCIL COME AND UNDERSTAND AND FEEL LIKE MORE OF A PARTNERSHIP OF DO SO. HOW NO, WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TURNOUT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE SCHOOL IT'S HARDER TO GET INTO. SO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THE SCHOOLS IS TO GET THE PARENTS INVOLVED. I MEAN, GO INTO THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IS TO GET MORE OF A WIDER COMMUNITY. UM, WE'LL THOUGH, WHEREVER YOU THINK YOU SHOULD GO, ANY SUGGESTIONS AND NO, I MEAN, ANYBODY, THAT'S GOT A SUGGESTION ON WHERE TO GO. YOU'RE TRAVELING ROADSHOW. AND BY THE WAY, CAROL AND FREDDIE AND I ARE GOING TO DO THE PRESENTATION FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. NOT SO, SO NOT TOO MUCH WHERE I'D LIKE TO JUST GETTING THE WORD, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? BECAUSE THE WAITER IS FINE. MY NEIGHBORHOOD, A LOT OF NEIGHBORS WHO WOULD SHOW UP AND WANT TO HEAR ABOUT BEFORE WE, WE WILL GO TO NEIGHBORHOODS. UM, ANYBODY THAT WILL HAVE US, WE WILL GO TO, BUT I DO FEEL LIKE THIS IS ME PERSONALLY, BUT FOR, TO REACH OUT TO SCHOOL PARENTS, THAT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE JOB. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE TRUMPING. THAT IS THEIR SCHOOL. THAT IS THEIR COMMUNITY. THEY SHOULDN'T BE A REACH OUT. SO IN SOME DO A BETTER JOB THAN OTHERS. MAYBE PRODUCE SOME HELP. OH, WE'LL HELP THEM. HOWEVER, THEY, THEY NEED HELP. BUT, WELL, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO WHEN YOU REACH OUT IS, IS THE QUESTION AND YOU KNOW, WHAT TO EXPECT THING TO GET AS A RESULT OF THAT, REACH OUT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, HELP THEM HAVE IT'S DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY WANT, BUT THEY ALSO EXPECT, AND, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY TO COME TO A MEETING. PARENTS NEED TO HEAR WHAT YOU, WHAT YOUR PROGRESS IS IN TERMS OF THE DRUGS. AND THEY JUST EXPECT THAT [00:50:01] CONSTRUCTION BE DONE THE CERTAIN TIME PERIOD. AND THEN, THEN YOU HAVE OTHERWISE. BUT I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT MY EXPERIENCES WITH HILTON HEAD SCHOOL AND THEIR PARENTS, UH, A GOOD SELLING POINT MIGHT BE THAT IF YOU SOLD FROM A DIFFERENT LEVEL, I DON'T THINK YOU, YOU MIGHT HAVE THE PEOPLE YOU WANT THERE. WHEN YOU WENT TO SOME OF THOSE POS, YOU MIGHT GET A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION, NOT NECESSARILY THEIR, THEIR PARENTS, BUT THE FACT IS THAT THEY'RE ON BOARD MIGHT, YOU KNOW, HELP CREATE A CULTURAL ATMOSPHERE THAT SUPPORTS WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITHOUT HAVING IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK. BECAUSE THE HEAD IS THIS, AN OLDER PARENTS ARE TRANSITIONAL TO THEIR KIDS CAN BE THERE FOR FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL OR EIGHT YEARS IN THE SCHOOLS. AND THEN THEY'RE GONE. PARENTS ARE GONE. THE OVERALL COMMUNITY EXPECTS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF EXPERTISE AND PERFORMANCE AND IN TERMS OF THE SCHOOL. SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, SUPPORT FROM ALL OF THOSE ENTITIES IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE. I KNOW THE NET, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. AND WITH, I AGREE WITH YOU, ALTHOUGH THEY SOUNDS AWFULLY POMPOUS, BUT THAT'S OKAY. REPUTATION. MY POINT IS THOUGH, EVEN AT THE POINT, I THINK YOU CAN HAVE THE PRINCIPALS DO THE SCHOOLS. THAT'S FINE. I KNOW PARENTS WHEN THEY GET, AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LARGE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER, I MEAN, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY, YOU'VE KICKED BOMBARDED WITH ALL THIS STUFF FROM SCHOOLS, RIGHT? SO IT KIND OF GETS TARGETED PARENTS ATTENTION. SO LET'S SET THAT ASIDE TO ME, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND HELP HEAD AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, YOU KNOW, IN OUR SCHOOLS AND TO GET THE COMMUNITY EXCITED. LIKE I SAID, I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE, AND I'M WORKING WITH HILTON HEAD BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP, TAXPAYERS TO RETIRED STATE SUPERINTENDENTS OF EDUCATION WHO LIVE IN HELP HAVE YOU MIGHT WANT TO COME IN GENERATE ENTHUSIASM GEN. CAUSE RIGHT NOW I DO FEEL LIKE MAYBE HE'LL PENN'S UNIQUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HILTON HEAD. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SCHOOLS ARE. IN FACT, SOMEONE THAT THE MAYOR ASKED ME WHERE THE SCHOOLS WERE NOT CURRENTLY, THIS WAS PREVIOUS YEARS, BUT MY POINT BEING LIKE, THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY. AND IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD THINK, BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY RIVER TO SAY, HEY, HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON. SO WE, WHAT ELSE I DO IS WE GO TO ANYBODY THAT INVITES US NUMB. NUMBER TWO, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GETTING A LOCAL LEADER, POLITICIANS INVOLVED, I DO THINK THAT IT DEFINITELY NEEDED FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. ISN'T QUITE THAT SIZE PROJECTS, RIGHT? I MEAN, NOW WHEN WE GET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, UM, YOU GUYS AGREE WITH YOU OR NOW THEY WANT US TO COME, WE'LL GO COOK. BUT I DON'T SEE REACHING OUT TO THEM AND TRYING TO GET A BIG EVENT WITH SAY THE MAYOR AND EVERYBODY SAME, SAME, LIKE AFFORD THEM THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL, YES. MOST DEFINITELY THEY WILL NEED TO BE A PART OF THAT. AND MY, MY, MY QUESTION WILL BE TO YOU, WHAT'S THE, BETWEEN THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. WELL, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WELL, BUT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS MORE ALIGNED DO FOR NOW WHERE IT'S A RENOVATION OF EXISTING BUILDING. THERE, WE ARE GOING TO REFRESH THE WHOLE BUILDING, BUT THERE AREN'T A LOT OF DECISIONS. THE DECISIONS, A LOT OF THE DECISIONS ARE MADE BASED ON THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. WE'RE A HILTON HEAD OF HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE A COM. UM, IT IS GOING TO BE BIGGER. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE DECISIONS. IT HAS A BIGGER IMPACT. IT NEEDS MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. WELL, NOT COMPLETE. IT'S GOING TO BE A RENOVATED BUILDING, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE EQUIVALENT TO WHAT'S THE REBUILT. IT'S GOING TO BE MORE LIKE BATTERY CREEK. BATTERY CREEK IS A MAJOR CHANGE FROM WHAT IT WAS BEFORE. UM, AND ACTUALLY IT'S GOING TO BE WAY BIGGER THAN BETTER. UM, IT'S GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE TO BETTER CREATIVE ADDITIONS ON TO THE RENOVATION. WHAT'S THAT ADDITIONS ONTO THE RENOVATION. AND THE ONE THAT I ALWAYS LIKED TO TALK ABOUT THAT TYPE OF RENOVATION IS I CATEGORIZE IT AS A MAJOR RENOVATION WHERE WHEN YOU WALK IN THE FINISHES HAVE BEEN REDONE, THE HPAC SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, SO THAT [00:55:01] ARE BASICALLY RESETTING IT. SO THAT, FOR LACK OF BETTER TERMS, YOU'RE BASICALLY WALKING BACK INTO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A NEW FACILITY. YEAH. WELL, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME MAJOR ADDITIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE NEW AND ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF RIGHT. AND ALL THAT'S TRUE. BUT JUST TO WALK YOU BACK TO MY MAIN ONE IS THAT THERE'S NO, THERE'S, THERE'S NO SITUATION ONE OR THE OTHER. NOW I THINK TOO MANY TIMES WHERE WE CATEGORIZE THINGS THAT WAY. AND THAT'S WHAT RINGS TO DO TO TEACH IN THE, IN THE, IN THE, THE DISTRICT TO A, A DISCONNECT, EVERY TIME THAT WE DO SO MUCH HERE, WE'VE WE TO BE ACTIVELY AND ENGAGINGLY DO THE CONTINUED STAY INVOLVED WITH FOR SO LONG, THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN, I HAVE BEEN PUSHED ASIDE AND KIND OF FELT LIKE THOUGH, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED. AND NOW, SO WHEN THEY HEAR STUFF LIKE, WELL, WE'LL GO TO THE MEETING AND THEN THEY GIVE FEEDBACK, BUT THAT HAD HAPPENED. SO I THINK, I THINK IT IS A AS ODD JOB TO INCLUDE OUR PR DEPARTMENT BECAUSE I'M HERE, I'M, I'M, I'M HEARING YOU WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND HOW YOU'RE SAYING IT. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SAYING, WHAT ARE YOU? YOU GO TO THE MEETING. BUT AT SOME POINT, SOMEBODY I'M TAKING OWNERSHIP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND THIS MEANS THAT WE HAVE IT, BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I'VE HEARD WHEN Y'ALL WENT INTO THE, INTO MY COMMUNITY AND EXHIBIT SOME OF THIS IS THAT, OH, I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT BEFORE THE MEETING IS ABOUT, SO PEOPLE HANG ABOUT SOME MEETING, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY ONE THIS MEANS. SO THEREFORE THERE'S A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE COMMUNITY. AND THEN WE'LL EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE MEETING. SO THE LONG STORY SHORT IS THAT SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT. SOMEBODY SAID WILL BE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP, MAKE KUHN, RPR PR AS WELL AS THAT. IT WASN'T AS GOOD AS THIS COMMITTEE. AND IT HAS TO BE WHAT WE WATCH OUT TO COME OUT. WE OPENLY INVITING YA. AND WE LISTENED TO YOUR FEEDBACK BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE COMMITTEE FEEL THAT WHAT THEY'RE, WHAT THEY BRING TO THE MEETING, AS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY ARE PART OF THIS APARTMENT'S TEAM IN MAKING THIS DECISION. IT'S A, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IF NOT BEEN, YOU KNOW, SHARPS TO SOME DEGREE, YOU KNOW, THEY FOR A JOB REALLY DON'T WANT THEM TO COME BECAUSE YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, EVEN IF SO, THEN DON'T INVITE THEM BECAUSE THAT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE THE RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMMUNITY, THE DISTRICT MUCH WORSE. BUT IF YOU'RE WANTING TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY SAY, THEN IT'S BRINGING EVERYONE TO THE TABLE AND LET THEM HAVE INPUT BECAUSE THAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT WE ALL HAVE TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CONDUCT. SHE SAID THE COUNTY COUNCIL, THAT COUNCIL, BECAUSE THIS IS ALL OF OUR SCHOOL. THIS IS THE CASE. THESE ARE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS. THESE ARE NOT PRIVATE, PRIVATE, PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THIS IS A COMMUNITY SCHOOL. IN ORDER, WHEN WE PUT, WE PUT BARBARA, REDMOND'S ALWAYS MEAN TO BE EXCELLENT AND PEOPLE WILL HELP US PUSH IT. AND THEN THEY PUSHED BACK AND WE WONDER WHY. SO THIS IS, THIS IS A SITUATION RIGHT NOW IS, WAS WHAT BUILDS UP TO REFERENCE, WHAT BUILDS UP TO BLOW USABLE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE OF RELATIONSHIPS. SO I, I, I, I'M BIG OF YOU NOT ACCIDENT THAT WHERE WE GET WITH KENNETH BREWTON REVENUE, WITH COMMUNITY AND BOARD MEMBERS, YET YOU DON'T WANT BOARD MEMBERS KNOW IF, WHEN THEY CAN LOSE YOU WHILE THESE ARE ALSO GOING TO COME, WHEN THEY'RE IN THE COMMUNITY, WE'LL BE, WE'LL GIVE THEM SAY, HEY, WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH , I'M CALLING YOU A BUNCH OF, TO THIS MEETING. THAT'S HOW YOU SHUT THAT DOWN. SO EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE A CHAT AND SAY, I WANT TO TELL THEM TO DO THAT. AND THEN I WISH YOU LUCK WITH THIS REALLY GOOD, SPECIAL BUILDING ON TO WHAT WAS THE REFERENDUM OF THE . OKAY. OKAY. WELL, I THINK YOU GOT IT HEARD AND I'M GLAD MR. SMITH, DID YOU KIND OF, BECAUSE I ALWAYS FELT LIKE WE'RE JUST SO POMPOUS AND WE WANT SPECIAL TREATMENT, BUT YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE ONE MORE COMMUNITY, UH, OUTREACH UPDATE, UH, APOLOGIZED THAT NIGHT, THE HOUSE I REALIZED I LEFT A SIGNIFICANT UPDATE OFF OF A SLOT TOMORROW, APRIL 21ST, FROM FOUR 30 TO SIX 30 AT THE DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS AT THE ESC, WE'RE GOING TO BE POSTING ANOTHER LOW BANDER AND DEV UBE OUTREACH EVENT. WE'VE INVITED ALL FIVE OF OUR INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGERS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FILLING THESE PROJECTS, AS WELL AS THE PROJECT MANAGERS, ALL OF THEM WILL BE THERE AT THE MEETINGS. AND THE INTENT IS JUST TO ENCOURAGE THE LOCAL VENDORS. AND MWB EES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING HOW TO DO WORK, UH, THIS YEAR WITH THE CONTRACTORS AND WHAT TYPE OF WORK WE HAVE AVAILABLE. SO THAT'LL BE GOING ON TOMORROW. AND THIS EVENT HAS BEEN WELL ADVERTISED. WE RAN ADVERTISEMENTS [01:00:02] AND THE POST AND COURIER. WE ALSO DID ADVERTISEMENTS ON LOCAL, UH, RADIO STATIONS. SO THAT'S TOMORROW. WE DO THOSE TYPICALLY ONCE A YEAR, I THINK MAYBE LAST YEAR WE MAY HAVE MET TWICE, UH, BUT AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. AND THEN WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS, OUR, OUR TURNOUT IS NOT BEEN AS HIGH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED, BUT WHAT HAS BEEN DECIDED IS THOSE THE TURNOUT JOBS. SO, I MEAN, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE IF YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY WHO'S GOT A TRAIT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, THEY WILL GET WORKER INSURANCE AND BOND, EVEN WITHOUT SANJAY, WE'LL WORK WITH THEM, HOW TO, SOME OF THEM HAVE PROGRAMS SET UP THAT WILL HELP BOND THOSE THAT CAN GET BONDED. SO THAT'S NOT A RESTRICTION. SO ANYBODY THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAS ANY INTEREST IN ANY KIND OF CONSTRUCTION TRADE, UM, LET THEM KNOW THEY CAN GET WORK FROM US. THERE WAS NOT A, WE HAVE SO MUCH, RIGHT. SO MR. KO FOREMAN, THE POST AND COURIER DO IT, WAS IT ALSO THE ISLAND NEWS AND THE VIEW? I MEAN, SO IT'S, YOU DIDN'T POST AND COURIER, WHEREAS AT CHARLESTON, WATCH THE NEWS. I MEAN, SO YOU SATURATED THE LOCAL MARKET TO, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. THE CHAMBERS WE SENT ROLLING. I ACTUALLY NOT SURE. BLACK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. OKAY. SO YOU JUST GAVE US, I MEAN, WHEN YOU JUST SAID THOSE THREE THINGS, I KIND OF, MY HEART FELT EXACTLY. YEAH. I WAS GOING TO SAY THERE WERE PROBABLY SIX TO EIGHT PUBLICATIONS AND TWO RESOURCES THAT I'M NOT SURE WHAT WERE REAL AND THEN WERE THE GOLA RADIO AND PREVIOUS RATING, BECAUSE I WILL SAY THERE'S NOT A YEAH, BUT I THINK ALSO THOSE STUFF LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHY IT'S, I THINK IT'S ONCE AGAIN, JUST GO BACK TO, WHEN I SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH US, BECAUSE I MEAN, HAVE YOU SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I WAS LIKE, I'VE BEEN LIKE THAT OUT TO THE CHURCHES THAT THE CHURCHES ALSO COULD THEN LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW BECAUSE IT MIGHT NOT ALL LOOK, A LOT OF, I KNOW RIGHT NOW, HONESTLY, THAT MADE A CARBON WERE OTHER INCIDENTS. THE VIDEO THEY'RE LISTENING TO DIFFERENT THEN LISTENS TO DIFFERENT CDS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WATCH THE NEWS. AND THAT DON'T EVEN CAUSE IF YOUR LIFE IS HARD AND ROUGH TO READ IT IN THE PAPER TO WATCH THE NEWS, IT'S DEPRESSING. I MEAN, , , IT'S THE PERSON. SO IF WE'RE NOT HEARING THEM THERE, THEN WHERE ARE WE HITTING? I REALLY DON'T FEEL THAT WE ARE MAXIMIZING OUR POTENTIAL. WE HAVE BOARD MEMBERS, WE HAVE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY MEMBERS. UH THAT'S THAT, THAT TYPE OF STUFF SHOULD BE PUT, PUT OUT IN THAT ATMOSPHERE BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO TELL SOMEBODY THAT THE FIRST THING THEY TELL ME, WHAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP THE, THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW UP SHOWS UP. YOU JUST NEVER AS A BOARD, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE BIAS OF THIS CONTACT. WE MAXIMIZE THE OPPORTUNITY. WE SHOULD MATCH EMAILS. YOU DID. THAT'S HOW EVERYONE, EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE. WE HAVE ALL THESE PRACTICE. WE SHOULD BE MAXIMIZING OUR POTENTIAL. AND THEN LETTING EVERYONE KNOW IS SHOULDN'T NO ONE NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. THAT'S AMAZING FOR TOMORROW WE GO, WE SAY, WELL, WE ONLY HAVE CERTAIN PEOPLE SHOWED UP OR WE'RE NOT WHERE WE WANT TO BE, BUT THE QUESTION IS, HAVE WE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD DO? COULD WE DO MORE? I MEAN, WHAT ELSE COULD WE HAVE DONE? WELL, GOOD THING THAT WE COULD DO. AND THIS IS JUST ON THE TOP OF SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. THEY START THINKING. SO THEY SEE WHAT THE PROCESS IS LIKE, WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. ANYWAY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT TOPIC. UM, , WHO WE HAVE ALL THESE SCHOOLS THAT WOULD HAVE FACEBOOKS AND THESE PARENTS AREN'T, I'M EXCITED BECAUSE HE'S LOOKING IN CHECKING ON HIS FACEBOOK. YOU CAN ADVERTISE THERE TOO. SO WE HAVE A WHOLE, A WHOLE LOT THAT WE CAN USE THAT IT'S, IT'S VERY APPARENT THAT WE STARTED USING THESE OUTFITS. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS A FACEBOOK POST THAT WE COULD ALL SHARE? I WILL REACH OUT IN THIS AND IF IT'S NOT BEEN POSTED, MAKE SURE. OKAY. AND THEN ONCE AT ALL, SOME, IF WE ALL SHARE IT, THOSE OF US THAT ARE OUT THERE, I WAS JUST NOT ON YOU. THIS IS THIS, THIS IS US. THIS IS A WE THING. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL MUST [01:05:01] GET BETTER AT. IT'S NOT A ROBBER OUTING, UH, STAYING BECAUSE WITH TIME, LIKE WHY IT GETS FUN. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALWAYS GET BETTER AT. BUT IF WE IGNORE IT, WE DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO WE HAVE TO BE TO CHANGE THAT MORE. SO, YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THANK YOU. UM, COULD YOU GUYS DO A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET THE PEOPLE THERE THAT WANT TO HIRE PEOPLE? SO WE NEED TO GET WORKERS NOW? YEAH. THAT'S, THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY ON THEM. THAT'S PART OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD BETTER THE GROUND UP. UM, OKAY. UM, WHAT WAS YOUR CONCERN? WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD BE COOL BECAUSE IT'S ALL THESE STUDENTS. OH, SORRY. THIS IS, UM, THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CONNECT TO JOBS. RIGHT. JUST KEEP THEM IN SCHOOL GRADUATION, AND ALSO TO KEEP THEM IN THE AREA. SO, UM, I KNOW THIS IS A CONCERN ON HILTON HEAD, BUT A LOT OF KIDS, THERE'S NO AGNES HERE, WHICH THE RENT INCREASE IS NOT TRUTH. UM, BUT WE WERE DEVELOPING THIS LOCAL WORKFORCE THROUGH OUR CTE PROGRAMS, BUT THEY WON'T KNOW THE PROCESS TO ACCESS. LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE VENDOR FAIRS UNTIL I JOINED THE BOARD. SO TAKING THEM AS STUDENTS AND, YOU KNOW, REACHING OUT TO DR. PROGRAMS AND JUST SAY, COME SEE WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE, COME SEE WHAT THIS IS, HOW YOU NETWORK. AND IF YOU'RE A CONTRACT, YOU MEET SOME CMES WHO SAY, LOOK, AS SOON AS YOU GRADUATE, I'LL HIRE YOU. I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TOO. AND HE HASN'T BEEN DOING THIS BECAUSE HE ALSO HAS A VENDOR FAIR FOR HIS STUDENTS. SO IF YOU ABSCESSED HIS VENDOR LIST TO COME TO YOUR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? HE HAS ELECTRICIANS THAT GO THERE AND SPEAK TO STUDENTS AND PLUMBERS AND WELDERS AND, UH, SURVEYORS. WELL, THERE'S A CADRE OF BUSINESSES RIGHT THERE THAT YOU GUYS ARE BEING INTERESTED IN EMPLOYMENT. I MEAN, IT'S JUST SO YOU GUYS NEED TO DO ONESELF, BRO. I KNOW I'M, I'M ANXIOUS ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S FAR AWAY. IT'S HARD TO GET TO JASPER CAN HIS CHIEF WORKFORCE THERE THAT MIGHT BE TAPPED MORE AGGRESSIVELY. WE DID IT SOUTH ABROAD ABROAD SOMETIMES BEFORE PAYING THEM TOO. THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN YEAR OR A COUPLE OF YEARS. WE DID TWO. IS THAT FOR THE REFERENDUM WORK THOUGH? YEAH, BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU JUST AS A, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, IT'S HARD TO GET OUT HERE, YOU KNOW, AND I'M ON THE BOARD, YOU'RE A CONTRACTOR YOU'RE WORKING TILL FIVE. YOU GET OFF WORK REALLY STRUGGLING. AND WE TRIED A SATURDAY NIGHT. YEAH. BUT WHAT WE FOUND WAS IS THAT IF WE PUT IT MORE TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY AND THEN WENT AND INTRODUCE SIX 30, IT ALLOWED PEOPLE TO WRAP UP, WORK ON A JOB SITE AND STILL MAKE THIS MEAT. BUT I HAD NOT THOUGHT VASE THAT'S THE FIRST THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT SO NATURAL FOR THESE KIDS TODAY. THEY DON'T, THEY, THEY WE'RE GIVING THEM EDUCATION. SORRY, I'M JUST STARTING GETTING CASUAL. CAUSE WE'RE DONE AT 5 45 KIND OF TALK TO THEM. BUT I THINK IT OF THE THINGS WOULD'VE BEEN WITH RECENT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, WE'RE GIVING THEM THESE SKILLS AND CAREER AND COLLEGE READY, BUT WE'RE NOT CONNECTING THEM TO WHAT THEY CAN DO WHEN THEY GRADUATE. UM, EVEN IF THAT'S GOING TO COLLEGE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO, WHEN YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE, YOU HAVE A GUIDANCE COUNSELOR AND THESE ATTRIBUTES, THERE'S A PROCESS. IT'S NOT A GREAT PROCESS. AND WE HAVE THIS WORKFORCE THAT WE'RE RAISING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE HOME GROWING AND THEN THEY GRADUATE. NOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KIND OF DO GET A JOB AND THEN THEY GET SUCKED INTO A BAD JOB. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I DIDN'T THINK WE WERE TO BE DONE BY SIX, BUT HEY, WE ARE EXCELLENT. OH YES. FUTURE TOPICS. ANYBODY AN UPDATE ON WHERE THE COUNTY IS WITH WANTING ACCESS ACROSS THE EASTBOUND. SO I, ALL I CAN SAY IS I REACHED OUT TO JARED LICKS. I JUST SENT HIM AN EMAIL LIKE A WEEK AGO. HIM, IF HE NEEDED, IF HE IT AND I DID NOT GET ANY RESPONSE, NOW I CAN CALL HIM. AND YES, IF HE, IF I GET IN TOUCH TO ASK FOR MORE TIME, CAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO COME BACK PRETTY QUICKLY. I WOULD SAY WE, UH, ARE WE GOING TO DO FACILITY CONDITION SETS UP? WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT AT THE JOINT MEETING WITH, UM, WHAT'S ABROAD, SOUTH ABROAD OR, UM, I THINK YOU'RE GOOD TO DO THAT AT AQUA RIGHT SHEETS. REMEMBER? [01:10:01] SO BASICALLY SOMEBODY'S CONDITION ASSESS UPDATE, OR IS IT JUST A MID COURSE? IT WOULD BE PROBABLY A GOOD 95 ISH, MAYBE 98 THIS AFTERNOON WAS REALLY RAPIDLY APPROACHING A WHOLE DAY NOW. SO I THINK BY THE NEXT MEETING WE SHOULD, IF WE'RE NOT FINISHED, WE SHOULD BE VERY CLOSE. GOOD. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SECOND. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SECOND MEETING. IT'S NOT SO FOCUSED. AND I KNOW ROBIN IS SO EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE SEXUAL, YOU KNOW, BUT AT THAT ONE, UM, AGENDA SETTING, THEY SAID WE COULD TALK ABOUT, UH, STAFF RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT. THAT'S AN HR. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE, I MEAN THE CAPITAL CONDITION, ASSESSMENT AND CAPITAL TOGETHER, NO FACILITY CONDITION UPDATE IN CAPITAL PLANNING. ON A SATURDAY SESSION SESSION, OPERATIONS WORK SESSIONS. THE CAPITAL PLAN. UH, CONVERSATION IS A FIRST DIVE INTO, WE'RE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING. IT'S JUST, HERE'S WHERE WE'RE SET UP. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU HOMEWORK ON THAT ONE AND COME BACK NEXT MONTH. SO THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE A HUGE CONVERSATION. IT'S MORE AN INTRODUCTORY CANVAS SIMILAR, LIKE WHAT WE DO, THAT'S GOING TO INTEGRATE WITH WHAT YOU GET FROM MEETING WITH THEM. I HOPE THAT THAT CAPITAL PLAN MEETING WILL HAVE COORDINATED ALREADY. SO WE GET SOME INKLING OF WHERE WE'RE HEADED IN THE FUTURE WITH WHAT, WITH WHAT, WHAT BLOCKED THEM PARTICULARLY, BUT ALSO WITH NORTH OF THE BROAD SCHOOLS AND WITH THE NUMBERS I WAS GOING THERE AS WELL. THAT'S I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE CAN AND GOOD FAITH MOVE TO ANOTHER REFERENDUM UNLESS WE HAVE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE IN TERMS OF STUDYING AND PLANNING ON WHERE WE'RE HEADED AND KNOW THERE'S NO POINT OF BUILDING SCHOOLS, THAT'S GOING TO BE OBSOLETE OR ARCADE. YEAH. AND IN 10 YEARS I THINK WE REALLY LOOK DOWN THE ROAD AT A NUMBER OF THINGS. AND THIS IS PERIOD, AND AN EDUCATION IN AMERICA THAT THINGS ARE SHIFTING. AND WE DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN THE SAME ROAD DOING THE SAME THINGS. IF IT'S SHIFTING AT THE PACE IS SHIFTING ALL OF THAT'S PART OF WHAT YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO, TO WAS TO EMBRACE. WELL, LET ME THINK. BUT I AGREE WITH YOU 100% AND, BUT I THINK WHAT WE CAN DO IS HAVE LIKE MS. CRUTCHFIELD CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN, HOW YOU GOT THERE. SO WE HAVE THAT KIND OF FRAMEWORK. AND THEN I THINK IT'S A FULL BOARD WORK SESSION KIND OF THING, BUT MAYBE THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE WE CAN KIND OF DO WHAT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF, UM, UNDERSTANDING THE BACKGROUND AND, YOU KNOW, PREPARING FOR THAT. AND LIKE I THINK MR AUDIENCE SAID, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HOMEWORK. SO THEY'RE GOING TO TELL US LIKE, HERE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE WE DO, WE HAVE TO HAVE A VERY FULSOME DISCUSSION. I THINK IT'S CAMPBELL. I'M GOING TO SAY WHAT MR. CAMPBELL'S REFERRING TO IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE BRINGING TO THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, BRINGING MORE OF THE PROJECTS FOR NEXT SUMMER AND FUTURE SUMMERS CONVERSATION. I THINK MR. CAMPBELL'S LOOKING FOR IS MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. UM, LAST NIGHT ABOUT A JOINT, UH, NORTH ABROAD ABROAD MEETING, WHICH I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT APRIL 28TH AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S NEXT WEEK WE NEED TO TELL YOU IS NEXT WEEK, THERE'S A MEETING FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28TH. AND WHO'S GOING TO BE THE REGULAR TIME OF THE, UM, SOUTH OF, THEY ARE A LOT OF JUST LIKE GOING INTO THAT FOUR. O'CLOCK GOING TO SEE YOU AFTERWARDS TO TELL YOU THAT. I DO THINK THERE'S A, OUR MEETING'S OVER, RIGHT? YEAH. I MOVE THAT WE ADJOURN. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR. MONDAY THE 25TH, IT'LL BE MONDAY THE 25TH, BUT TWO 30 AT TWO 30. SO I TALKED TO HER, I [01:15:01] TALKED TO EARL LAST NIGHT AND UM, MENTIONED ABOUT THE JOINT ONE THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED ROBERT AND, AND SO I KEPT THINK HE'S ON BOARD FOR THAT. HE, HE JUST DIDN'T HAVE HIS CALENDAR IN FIVE. AND TO REMEMBER THAT WE ALREADY HAD ONE FROM MONDAY. SO I THINK THAT ONE'S BEEN CANCELED AND HE'S GOING TO CANCEL THAT IS MR. EARL CAMPBELL STILL ON EMAIL OR CALL HIM AND ASK HIM IF HE'S CANCELING THAT ONE TO DO A JOINT ONE, BUT ROBERT, YOU STILL WANT TO DO IT THE 28TH, EVEN THOUGH THAT THAT'S HILTON HEAD, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE ART ART LEAGUE OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS, OPEN HOUSE AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL. YEAH. THAT'S KIND OF NEAT SEEING WHAT THEY HAVE THERE. UM, BUT I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A JOINT BECAUSE BOTH THE NORTHERN BUFORD COUNTY AND OUR COMMUNITY AND THE SOUTHERN HAVE TASKED US WITH COMING UP WITH A PROCESS ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD, REALLY THAT PROCESS IS GOING TO BE A DISTRICT WIDE PROCESS. SO IT'S KIND OF WHAT BOTH ARE ASKING. IT'S THE SAME, I GUESS IT ALSO, I THINK THAT EVERY PROJECT, EVERY THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES ARE, HAVE DIFFERENT FOCUSES AND NOW YOU BRING EVERY ONE TO ONE TO ONE FOCUS AND THAT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OFF TIME. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO SHOULD JOIN THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NORTH OR SOUTH ON, OUT OF . SO COMING TO THE SOUTH, IT WAS ROCK AND HAVING A MEETING WITH THEM AND LISTEN TO WHAT THEY, I THINK IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE A ONE BIG WEEKEND BEFORE IT OVER EVERYTHING I WAS HAVING. THAT'S HOW IT'S CONDUCIVE. WELL, THE PROBLEM IS THEY'RE BOTH TRACKS ARE GOING TO NEED TO OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME. THE WHAT NORTHERN BEEF COUNTY WANTS TO FIGURE OUT WITH, UM, THE NORTHERN BEEF COUNTY WITH THE USE CAPACITY NEEDS TO HAPPEN THE SAME TIME THAT SOUTHERN CANADA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE. SO, AND PART OF IT TOO, IS WE NEED TO BRING THE UNHEALTHY, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THAT CONVERSATION AS WELL, BECAUSE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT YOU SEE NORTH ABROAD, YOU SEE IT, SOME OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE WAY WE'VE LOOKED AT IT IS WE ALL NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER TO ONE POINT TO PROCEED GOING FORWARD. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE WANTED TO DO IT AGAIN. PARALLEL TRACKS THAT, THAT SOME THINGS WOULD BE ADDRESSED THE SAME. AGAIN, IT'S PART OF, IT'S TALKING ABOUT EQUITY, HOW WE'RE GONNA ACHIEVE THIS EQUITY. THAT'S A BIG PART OF THIS CONVERSATION, RIGHT? BUT LET'S GET SOME VIEW THAT WE HAVE ONE BIG JOINT JOINT JOINT, A DRUG GROUP THERE'LL BE NEED TO HAVE A SOFTWARE SOFTWARE BROCK. THE REASON WHY WE SEPARATE THE COMMITTEES WAS FOR, IT WAS FOR A REASON. SO BRINGING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW, I DON'T, I, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A MEETING BEFORE AND IT'D BE SEE THE NEEDS TO COME TOGETHER, TO COME TOGETHER, TO COME TOGETHER AT ONE POINT IN TIME TO HAVE ONE BIG PIECE, I WILL SEE THAT I'LL SEE THAT UNLESS SOMETHING'S ON US OR LESS THAN MORGAN, YOU HAVE EVERYBODY HAVE SOME APPROACH. WE HAVE SOME IDEAS THAT WILL GO WELL WITH THIS PRECONCEIVED NOTION THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT TERMS. THAT'S A STEP TOWARDS GETTING INTO TWO DIRECTIONS. I MEAN, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA THAT THEY'RE MEAT. SO YOU CAN GET A FEEL FOR WHAT WHAT'S AHEAD AND HOW WE AS A BOARD, WE, AS A DISTRICT OR WHAT'S HEAD, YOU CAN PLAN WELL, BUT WE'VE GOT ONE DISTRICT AND ONE, THIS HAS GOT TO ADDRESS ALL THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT. SO, I MEAN, GETTING WOKE UP WITH AN ANSWER TO DO ANYTHING THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, NOTHING IS PRECONCEIVED IT'S IDEA OF GETTING A LITTLE, YOU'RE GETTING AN IDEA OF THE SITUATION, BOTH SIDES, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SITUATIONS, NOTHING IS GOING TO BE SOLVED. I HAVE TO ADD OFF THE, SO NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO END THE STILL SO THAT THEY CAN OPEN THE NEW ONE FOR THE CLOCK. * This transcript was created by voice-to-text technology.
