[00:00:01]
ALRIGHT, STAND FOR THE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE.
AND WE MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA.
I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE AGENDA FOR THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE.
UNANIM, HOW MANY PUBLIC COMMENTS DO WE HAVE? I SEE.
ALRIGHT, UH, AND THEN WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MARCH 21ST, 2022 COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE MARCH 23RD, 2022 COMMITTEE MEETING.
NEXT WILL BE ROBERT
ROBIN'S JUST DOING SOME DATA ENTRY.
SO, ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS OE 8.7.
UH, DEVELOPING CONSISTENTLY ADMINISTER FACILITIES USE GUIDELINES.
UH, YOU SEE THERE, UH, THE GOALS, UH, THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF PERMITTED USAGE.
WE HAVE THE APPLICABLE FEE STRUCTURE, CLEAR USER EXPECTATIONS INCLUDING BEHAVIOR CLEANUP, SECURITY INSURANCE, AND DAMAGE REPAIR AND CONSEQUENCES AND ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES FOR USERS TO FAIL TO FOLLOW THE ESTABLISHED RULES.
UM, SO PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE'RE SAYING IN OUR INTERPRETATION IS OUR FOLLOWING ABILITY.
8.7 COMES IN AR OS 29, WHICH IS THE USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES AND THEN THE ASSOCIATED OS 29 R, WHICH ARE THE FEES, UM, THAT ARE SET UP FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES.
UM, AND SOME OF THE INDICATORS THAT WE HAVE ARE THE EVIDENCE THAT EVENTS ARE BEING ENTERED INTO.
AND I PUT DOWN HERE FACILITIES, DUDE, IT'S ACTUALLY FS DIRECT IS WHAT IT'S CALLED.
ONE TIME IT USED TO BE CALLED FACILITIES DUDE, BUT IT'S NOW CALLED FS DIRECT.
UM, AND THEN AUDIT ARE FS DIRECT PAPERWORK TO ENSURE THAT THE AGREEMENTS ARE BEING SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AR AT OS 29 AND OS 29 A.
SO WHAT I HAVE PROVIDED FOR YOU IN THIS PACKET IS A COPY OF, FIRST OFF IS 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 A GROUP WANTS TO USE, SAY BUFORD 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, AND ON HERE YOU SEE THEY CALCULATE THE FEES ACCORDING TO, UM, AR OS 29 R.
AND UH, THEY, WE HAD ALSO ASKED FOR THEIR, THAT INSURANCE.
THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE THEN LOADED INTO FS DIRECT TO DOCUMENT THAT ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR THE EVENT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.
ONCE THAT IS SUBMITTED AND THE PRINCIPAL SIGNS OFF ON IT, THE PRINCIPAL HAS TO APPROVE IT, THEN EMAILS AUTOMATICALLY GO OUT TO CUSTODIAL, THEY 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 MANAGER, IS THAT LIKE A DISTRICT POSITION OR IS THAT A SCHOOL POSITION OR? YEP.
SO HE'S THAT PERSON OR A COMPANY? HE IS A PERSON.
SOUNDS LIKE A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T.
SO ALL OF OUR, UM, BUILDINGS HAVE A, UH, COMPUTERIZED MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING.
SO LIKE I COULD PULL UP ANY BUILDING, I COULD PULL UP THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW, CHANGE THE AIR IN THIS ROOM, OR CHANGE THE AIR IN PORT ROYAL.
SO JD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING ALL THAT, PUTTING IN SCHEDULES, MAKING REQUESTS OR THINGS OF THIS NA NATURE MONITORING OR ENERGY USE.
AND ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, MONITORING
[00:05:01]
REPAIRS FOR DIFFERENT UNITS TO FIND OUT WHAT UNITS HE WITH.THERE'S ALARM POINTS IN THAT SYSTEM THAT HE CAN SEE AND IT'LL HELP US TO DETERMINE, HEY, WE NEED TO SEND SOMEBODY OUT THAT FACILITY.
MR. CAMPBELL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, I DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF IT, BUT I, I, I'M FINE.
I NEED TO TURN OR MAYBE TURN WHERE THE SPEAKER UP THERE PROBABLY.
IS THAT BETTER IF I LOOK THIS WAY, MR. CAMPBELL? YES, I CAN HEAR BETTER.
I WILL TRY TO, UH, LOOK THAT WAY AS I'M TALKING.
SO THE NEXT PAGE ARE THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR GOVERNING, UH, 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 DOS AND DON'TS, YOU KNOW, SUCH AS YOU CANNOT DEFACE THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU CANNOT ALLOW PROCE PROCESSION OR USE FOR SALE OR BEER, WINE OR ALCOHOL.
SOME OF THE BASIC THINGS THAT IF ANYBODY'S USING OUR FACILITIES, THESE ARE THE RULES THAT THEY NEED TO FOLLOW BY.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? I WOULD GO TO THE NEXT PAGE.
UM, IF WE COULD GO, GO BACK TO THE FIRST PAGE.
SO THEN, JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF THIS.
SO, UM, LET'S JUST SAY SOMEONE COMES, LIKE YOU SAID, THE ROTARY COMES FROM RE HIGH AND WANTS TO SEE IF THEY CAN USE THEIR, UM, BUILDING.
SO THEN THEY CONTACT THE PRINCIPAL.
SO USUALLY OUR OFFICE MANAGER, OUR OFFICE MANAGER, YEP.
AND THEY FILL OUT THIS PAPERWORK RIGHT THERE? YEP, THEY CAN.
AND THEN THAT PAPERWORK, I MEAN IT'S ONLINE IS SUBMITTED.
WHERE DOES IT GO FROM THERE? THE, THE OFFICE MANAGER USUALLY, ONCE THEY COLLECT EVERYTHING.
SO THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT THAT DAY GONNA BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PROOF OF INSURANCE.
SO THEY'D HAVE TO HAVE INSURANCE FOR THE EVENT, CORRECT.
IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S NAME.
AND THEN THERE WOULD BE THE FEE AS WELL, UM, THAT COULD BE PROVIDED AT A LATER DATE, BUT THAT'S LOADED INTO FS DIRECT.
SO THE OFFICE MANAGER WOULD SCAN THOSE DOCUMENTS WITH THE EVENT AND THAT GOES INTO FS BOOK.
SO THEN WHEN YOU GO DOWN HERE TO NUMBER SIX AND IT SAYS, IT TALKS ABOUT, UM, UNLESS WAIVED BY BEFORD COUNTY SCHOOL OF DISTRICT, LESSEE SHALL OBTAIN IN ITS OWN EXPENSE KEEPING FORCE 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.
NO, WE'VE NEVER SAID, WHAT DOES IT MEAN THEN, UNLESS WAIVED BY BUFORD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT? WELL, THE, ACTUALLY THE ONLY TIME THAT THERE'S ANY KIND OF, I'D SAY WAIVING IS USUALLY IF WE HAVE AN MOU WHERE THERE'S PROVIDED UPFRONT THAT IT IS PART OF THE MOU 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 INSURANCE.
WELL, AND YOU KNOW WHAT, 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 A LITTLE CONFUSED 'CAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS.
SO I DIDN'T REALIZE EVERYTHING GOES TO LIKE THE OFFICE MANAGER OR THE WHOMEVER, THE DESIGNEE OF THE PRINCIPAL.
AND THEN ONCE I HAVE EVERYTHING THAT GOES TO BRANDY, UM, IT'S JUST, NO, IT'S LOADED INTO FS DRIP.
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 EVENT OR A MULTIPLE SCHOOL EVENT.
SO IF THEY'RE WANTING TO RENT IT FOR A YEAR, BRANDY GETS INVOLVED IN THAT.
IF THEY WANNA RENT IT, WE GO TO FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN A WEEKEND.
BRANDY WOULD GET INVOLVED IN THAT.
BUT IF IT'S A SINGLE EVENT, MOST SINGLE EVENTS THE SCHOOLS COULD HANDLE ON MR. CAMPBELL.
SO WHO WA HAS THE, UM, RESPONSIBILITY OR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE TO WAIVE A FEE? SO, WAIVING THE FEE AS IS DESIGNATED AS THE SUPERINTENDENT OR HIS DESIGNEE, AND THAT PERSON IS ME.
AND MY STANDARD FOR WAIVING FEES IS I ASK WHAT BENEFIT ARE THERE FOR THE STUDENTS OF BEAUFORT 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 THAT ARE BEAUFORT COUNTY STUDENTS AND THAT'S WHERE $500, THEN I'D WAIVE $500.
SO MY STANDARD WHEN I ASK IS, WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO BEAUFORT COUNTY STUDENTS? AND THAT AMOUNT IS WHAT I'LL WAIVE UP TO.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT GETS TO YOU.
[00:10:01]
THEY WOULD HAVE TO ASK FOR THE FEES TO BE WAIVED.SO IF THEY'RE WAIVING FEES, THEY HAVE TO MAKE THAT REQUEST.
THEY 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.
UH, GENERALLY THAT, UH, THOSE FEES HAVE BEEN WAIVED WHEN THERE IS SOME FORM OF PARTNERSHIP, BUT EITHER THE SCHOOL OR THE DISTRICT IN TERMS OF WHAT'S BEING, WHAT'S BEING PRESENTED OR WHAT THE USE OF THE FACILITY IS BEING USED FOR THAT PARTICULAR TIME.
I MEAN, LET'S HYPOTHETICALLY SAY FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THOSE AFTERSCHOOL 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 AT THE SCHOOL.
AND THEY HAVE TO ENGAGE THE USE OF THE FACILITY THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS HERE FOR THE MOST PART.
AND THOSE FEES PROBABLY WOULD BE WAIVED THEN, BUT THEY, IN ORDER TO KNOW THAT THE, YOU KNOW, THE AUDITORIUM IS OPEN AND USABLE THAT TIME, THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE USE OF IT.
BUT, UH, FOR THE MOST PART, SINCE THEY PARTNERS, WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T CHARGE THEM A FEE.
THAT THAT WOULD BE WHAT, THAT'S MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT.
I'VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS AND OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL PARAMETERS AND, AND, UH, MOST OF THE TIME YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THAT INSURANCE WILLIAMS IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE.
BUT SOMETIMES YOU WILL GET THE FEES WITH IT, ESPECIALLY IF 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 WOULD'VE THOSE FEES IF IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE.
I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR, UM, AND IT'S WITH 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 OR AN ADULT ATHLETIC EVENT, ANY ATHLETIC EVENT OUTSIDE, WELL, ANY ATHLETIC EVENT.
THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ADULT, THEY DON'T OFFER, WHAT WE, WE RAN INTO IS THAT FOR ANY ATHLETIC EVENT, WE ALWAYS REQUIRE 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 CH IT COVERS CHILDREN.
UM, SO THAT KIND OF THREW US A LOOP BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE USED TO DEALING WITH HAVING ATHLETES.
BUT SO WHAT DID WE END UP DOING? UM, WE ENDED UP, UH, HAVING THEM WRITE ONTO THEIR, UH, JENNIFER STATE AND WENT THROUGH IT 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, A STEP BEYOND WHAT WE NORMALLY ASK.
WE TYPICALLY ASK FOR THE EVENT TO BE COVERED WITH US AS A NAMED INSURED.
THEY ADDED US TO THEIR ENTIRE POLICY AS A NAMED INSURED.
UM, 'CAUSE ONE THING WHEN I, WHEN I WAS WORKING WITH THE THEATER PROGRAM MM-HMM
FACILITY TRYING TO GET THE FACILITY WAS A NIGHTMARE.
HILTON HEAD IS 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, POINT FINGERS AT EVERYONE ELSE.
SO, UM, AND THEN THE LIABILITY COVERAGE, AND I'M READING HERE THAT YOU, IT JUST GETS 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, SO, WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WAS A THING, SEXUAL MOLESTATION COVERAGE.
THAT WOULD BE, IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT EVENT WE'D GO TO JENNIFER STATE AND SHE TOLD US OR RECOMMENDED SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, WE'D HAVE THAT PUT ON IT.
IT JUST, I MEAN, PERSONALLY, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE IT JUST REALLY LAID OUT.
AND THIS IS, I'M LOOKING AT A O YET JUST BECAUSE HAVING TRIED TO RENT STUFF FROM, NOT RENT STUFF, BUT USE IT FOR THE SCHOOL EVEN.
I MEAN, IT WAS A SCHOOL EVENT.
THIS, SO THERE'S NO DEVIATION FROM THE FEE OR CONTRACT THAT THE SCHOOL CAN DO.
THE PRINCIPAL HAS NO AUTHORITY TO DEVIATE FROM THIS.
SO THEY CAN'T APPROVE OR DENY THEY CAN'T APPROVE OR DENY, BUT THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE FORMAT.
THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE INSURANCE, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAT, SO CAN YOU CLARIFY
GOES TO SCHOOL INTO FS DIRECT MM-HMM
WHO CAN EITHER OF YOU DENY A REQUEST OR REALLY IT'S THE PRINCIPAL THAT NO, I MEAN IT'S THE, THE PRINCIPAL IS THE ONE THAT'S THE FINAL APPROVAL,
[00:15:01]
BUT THEY HAVEWE'RE THERE AS MORE, UH, TO ASSIST THEM IN THROUGH THE PROCESS ON HOW TO PUT THE, SO IF SOMEONE, I'M SORRY TO BE SO SPECIFIC.
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY THIS THOUGH.
IF, IF A PRINCIPAL WAIVED FEES, UM, WE'D PROBABLY WRITE THAT PRINCIPLE UP AS GOING AGAINST THE AR.
SO IT WOULD BE, THEY WOULD STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPROVE IT, BUT THEY WOULD'VE GONE AGAINST OUR ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND WE MIGHT HAVE WRITTEN THAT PERSON UP FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.
WHAT I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT, 'CAUSE THIS CAME UP, WAS PRINCIPALS HAVING PEOPLE THAT THEY LIKED TO RENT TO PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T TO RENT TO.
SO IS THERE ANY RECOURSE? I MEAN, THAT'S THE WAY WE SET UP THE AR 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, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THOSE EXACT SITUATIONS.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN ADD TO MAKE IT CLEARER, IF, YOU KNOW, TO HELP, I'M SORRY.
BUT IT'S, IF DOES THE BOARD, SO IF SOMEONE SAYS, HEY, I GOT DENIED AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE PRINCIPAL DOESN'T LIKE ME OR BECAUSE I WANNA HOLD A REPUBLICAN EVENT AND THE PRINCIPAL, WHATEVER, IT'S RIGHT.
AND THEY FEEL LIKE IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE.
DO THEY HAVE RECOURSE OR IS IT JUST, WELL, YOU LOOK AT THAT GROUP, THE FOOTBALL GROUP, THEY WENT TO THE BOARD AND THE BOARD CAN THEN, WE DIDN'T REALLY OVERRULE IT.
WE JUST SAID, HEY, WHY, WHY AREN'T WE DOING IT? RIGHT.
I MEAN, HERE'S THE THING IS THAT, UM, THE FINAL DECISION WAS REALLY WITH THE PRINCIPAL.
IF THE BOARD IS TELLING THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK, THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S GONNA LISTEN.
IF THE SUPERINTENDENT IS TELLING THE PRINCIPAL THEY NEED TO REVIEW IT, THE PRINCIPAL IS GOING TO LISTEN.
SO DIRECTLY, INDIRECTLY, YOU HAVE AUTHORITY, I WOULD SAY OVER IT.
AND THAT'S ALL PLAY OUT WITH THE ADULT FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
UM, MR ISN'T THE NATURAL, UH, RECOURSE IS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT.
LIKE YOU SAY, HE CAN DENY IT MUCH AS HE LIKE, BUT HE DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO DENY IT.
I MEAN, THE PRINCIPAL DOES THAT BECAUSE BASICALLY THE REASON WE'VE SAID IT IN THAT WAY, THE PRINCIPAL KNOWS THE ACTIVITIES GOING ON AT THE SCHOOL.
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, THE LISTED REASONS.
AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS IS SCHEDULING BEING USED.
BUT, UH, I MEAN, IF, IF THERE IS A REASON I BRING TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS USUALLY BECAUSE PROBABLY DENIED THE, THE WITHOUT DUE PROCESS AND THE PERSON'S MIND, OR THEY'RE ASKING FOR SOMETHING THAT THE PRINCIPAL CAN'T DELIVER, LIKE A FEE WAIVED AND THAT HAS TO GO TO THE, UH, SUPERINTENDENT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN.
IT'S LIKE, I, I DON'T WANNA PAY THE FEE.
I, I'VE GOT NO MONEY TO PAY THE FEE AND CAN THE FEE BE WAIVED? AND THE PRINCIPAL, AND I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH PRINCIPALS IN THIS CAPACITY.
I'M IN THE SCHOOL AND I SAID, AH, I DON'T THINK THE FEE CAN BE WAIVED NOW, BUT I'LL GET IT TO THE, TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS.
AND A COUPLE TIMES, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY, UH, SUPERINTENDENT BOSS WAIVED THE FEE.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GENERALLY THE RECOURSE.
I I LIKE IT TO BE, YOU KNOW, WRITTEN AND UNDERSTOOD THAT WAY SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T THINK THEY'RE GETTING, YOU KNOW, BIAS DENIALS BECAUSE, UH, YOU WANT THE PRINCIPAL TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, CONTROL OF THE USE OF HIS FACILITIES TO A DEGREE.
BUT AS A PUBLIC USE, YOU DON'T WANT 'EM TO, TO BE DENYING WILLY-NILLY.
SO I, I DON'T, I CAN'T SEE IT ALL, BUT I, I, I'M HEARING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'LL BE MADE CLEAR THAT THEY DO HAVE THE SUPERINTENDENT AS THE LAST STOP.
THEY, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THE, ONCE THE POLICY IS SET AND THE SUPERINTENDENT, THIS AR CLEAR US, THEN WE AGREEING THAT WE LIKE THE WAY HE'S MANAGING IT.
AND THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.
AND IF THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DISGRUNTLED APPLICANTS, THEN WE ASK THEM TO LOOK AT THAT AR AGAIN AND MAKE SOME CHANGES TO, TO ACCOMMODATE MORE PEOPLE OR MAKE IT MORE SPECIFIC WHERE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHY A LOT EASIER OR WHY NOT.
THAT'S, THAT'S MY TAKE ON THIS.
I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, IF I'M
[00:20:01]
IN THE CONVERSATION OR NOT, BUT I'M TRYING TO, TO UNDERSTAND IT BEST I CAN.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 COMPLAIN BECAUSE HE WANTED TO USE A CERTAIN FIELD AND THE COACH SAID COULD NOT BECAUSE THEY HAD GAMES THERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO I, I THINK WE GOT A GOOD, HAVE A GOOD POSTURE.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND, UH, THE FOOTBALL OR SOCCER, WHATEVER.
AND, AND, AND THE, UH, THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND THE, THE PRINCIPAL AT THAT SCHOOL AND THE COACHES, IF THEY'RE GONNA BE USING THE FIELD, THEN THEY GET FIRST CHOICE.
YOU KNOW? SO NOW THEY CAN GET AN ALTERNATE, GO TO ALTERNATE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, AND, AND THAT HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO THIS GENTLEMAN BEFORE, BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO WANNA ACCEPT THAT.
I'M NOT REFERENCING THE, UH, MR. MITCHELL'S SITUATION.
I'M TALKING ABOUT HILTON HAD, HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH ITS FACILITY USE BECAUSE IT'S HIGH.
AND SO WE'VE HAD PREVIOUS TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION A LOT OF ISSUES AS TO WHO ACTUALLY HAD THE AUTHORITY.
UM, AND SO JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, THEY ACTUALLY CANCELED ONE OF OUR SCHOOL PRODUCTIONS AND THEY HELD, THE DISTRICT HAD OVERRIDDEN HER TO RENT IT OUT PRIVATELY.
BUT ANYWAYS, SO THAT'S NOT GENERAL THERE.
IT'S JUST, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CLARIFY WHO ULTIMATELY CAN SAY AND MR. MITCHELL FACTORS IN.
'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED AND FEEL, YOU KNOW, I, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS WAS BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE OF AN ISSUE, I THINK, ON HILTON HEAD.
I WOULD SAY TWO THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN, I GUESS YOU'D 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 WITH TURF FIELDS.
UM, IT OPENS THAT UP QUITE A BIT MORE.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE THAT BASEBALL OR, 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, AND NOT MM-HMM
I MEAN, IN Y'ALL'S OE IT JUST PRETTY MUCH SAYS Y'ALL, WE SHALL NOT LIMIT ANYONE FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT, WITHOUT HAVING DOCUMENTATION.
SO IT'S KIND OF COME ACROSS, YOU KNOW, LOUD AND CLEAR.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO, WE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO OPEN UP FACILITIES.
SO, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT I'M DRIVING AT TOO, IS JUST UNDERSTANDING HOW THAT WORKS.
SO THAT WAS A LONG, UH, SERIES OF QUESTIONS.
SO JUST AGAIN, BACK TO THE PROCESS AND I APOLOGIZE.
SO IF THE APPLICANT GIVES EVERYTHING 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 BRANDI LOOK AT THAT? IF, IF SHE NEEDS TO.
SO THAT, SO THAT'S BASICALLY THEN, SO IT STOPS THERE.
IF THE PRINCIPAL SIGNS OFF ON IT, THE PROGRAM AUTOMATICALLY PUTS IT ON THE SCHOOL CALENDAR.
UHHUH
I DON'T THINK IT SENDS ON MAINTENANCE SO THAT EVERYBODY'S AWARE, THEY KNOW THE TIMES, THEY 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 AN EVENT, ESPECIALLY, HEY, ROBERT? YES.
COULD SOME, COULD SOMEONE LET US IN? WE'RE DOWNSTAIRS IN THE LIBRARY.
WE'RE DOWNSTAIRS BECAUSE SOMEONE LET US IN.
SO THIS IS MY, THIS IS WHERE I'M DRIVING WITH THIS.
THEY'RE COMING TO YOU RIGHT NOW.
SO THERE IS A, THERE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT A SCHOOL WILL HAVE A FUNCTION THAT NOBODY AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE IS AWARE OF, RIGHT? I MEAN, IS THERE A POSSIBLE OH, YEAH, YEAH.
SO HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU THAT THE PROCESS IS BEING FOLLOWED? JUST 'CAUSE I HAD HEARD THAT THERE WAS A MEETING, A PUBLIC MEETING AT A SCHOOL AND, AND NONE OF THIS WAS DONE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE THAT DOES OCCUR.
SO THAT VERY MUCH CONCERNS ME FROM THE COUNTY.
[00:25:01]
OKAY.WE DO HERE AND WE TRY TO, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S GOTTEN BETTER.
UM, SO ONE YOUR THING, WE ALSO ENCOURAGE SCHOOLS TO PUT SCHOOL EVENTS INTO FS DIRECT.
THE WHOLE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT IF YOU GOT A BASKETBALL GAME OR A OR EVENT, AN OFFICE MANAGER FOR SOME REASON MISSES IT, IT'LL, THAT SPACE WILL ALREADY BE RESERVED.
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 EVENTS.
UM, OUTSIDE OF, I'D SAY, YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS AGO WE FIND OUT A LOT OF EVENTS BY FLYERS AND THINGS IN THE DISTRICT, RIGHT.
AND THEN WE CALL THE SCHOOL AND SAY, HEY, WHAT, 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 PRINCIPLE UP BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOW GONE AGAINST THE POLICY OF OUR, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE RULE AND THEY DID NOT FOLLOW RULES.
SO, QUITE FRANKLY, THEY'RE BREAKING THE RULES.
WELL, AND I SHARE MR. FI'S CONCERN 'CAUSE YOU DO GET THIS KIND OF FIEFDOM.
THAT'S WHAT A LITTLE BIT HAPPENED WITH SORT OF A FIEFDOM WITH THE SCHOOL AND THAT, YOU KNOW.
WELL, I MEAN, IF YOU EVER HEAR OR FIND OUT, FEEL FREE TO SEND THAT MY WAY AND WE'LL TRACK IT DOWN.
I MEAN, UH, BECAUSE THAT IN THEORY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, HAPPENING.
HE DOES STILL HAPPEN, I'D SAY WAY LESS THAN IT USED TO.
UM, BUT IT, I I KNOW OF AN EVENT THAT OCCURRED THAT MM-HMM.
AND, AND SO THEN THAT LEADS TO INCONSISTENCY.
AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, WELL, YOU'LL LET THEM, HOW COME, UH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS AND EVERYTHING.
SO CAN YOU JUST, AT WHAT, I MEAN, HOW DO PRINCIPALS KNOW ABOUT THIS? HOW DO NEW PRINCIPALS KNOW ABOUT THIS? UH, SO
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 STUFF.
AND WE BOMBARD HIM WITH A LOT OF INFORMATION.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE BOMBARDED AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL, I'LL ALSO REMIND AT PRINCIPAL MEETINGS ABOUT FACILITIES USE, MATTER OF FACT, I THINK I DID AT THE LAST PRINCIPAL MEETING, I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT I BROUGHT UP ABOUT FACILITIES USE.
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
RANDY IS WANTING TO DO MORE PROGRAMS WITH THE, THE OFFICE MANAGERS BECAUSE YES, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS SINCE WE DID SOME REALLY, UM, UH, DIRECT TRAINING WITH THEM.
IT'S, AND LOTS OF NEW OFFICE MANAGERS.
I KNOW THEY DID HAVE A RECENT OFFICE MANAGER TRAINING AND BRANDY DID A PRESENTATION FOR ALL THE OFFICE MANAGERS AT THAT TRAINING,
SO IT, IT, ARE THERE STILL THINGS SLIPPING THROUGH THE CRACKS? YES.
THERE WE ARE DOING SOME, UH, YES.
JUDGE, I THINK, UH, TRISHA'S POINT, UH, ROBERT IS THAT, UH, IF WE DON'T HAVE A MASTER MASTER PLAN OF THE FACILITIES USED AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE, THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD TRUSTWORTHY PLAN AT THE, AT THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, AT THE SCHOOLS WHERE WE TRUST THAT THEY'RE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THAT PLAN SAYS.
AND THEY'RE, THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BEING JUDICIAL IN TERMS OF, OF HOW THEY USE OUR FACILITIES.
AND, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF BEING FAIR, HAVING IT USED THROUGH, UH, STEP BY STEP PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE IN PLACE SO THAT EVERYBODY WHO'S USING IT IS KNOWN AT THE DISTRICT THROUGH THEIR PLAN.
IF YOU CALL AND SAY THERE'S
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 BREAKS DOWN.
SO UN UNLESS WE, YOU KNOW, REALLY HAMMER HOME THESE THINGS AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE MEETINGS WITH FACILITY, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ON THE SAME PAGE.
AND, YOU KNOW, AND IT IS LIKELY THAT THEY WON'T BE DOING THE SAME THINGS IN EACH OTHER 32 BUILDINGS.
SO THAT'S WHERE, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE ARE TALKING IN TERMS OF TIGHTENING IT UP.
AND I HEAR THIS PROCESS AND IT'S A GOOD ONE.
I THINK IT'S, IT'S GREAT, BUT WE DO HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CHECK AND BALANCE ON IT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT THAT
[00:30:01]
MASTER PLAN SHOWS AT THE SCHOOL SITE IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL SITE.AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THAT, THAT, THAT CALENDAR OF EVENTS THAT'S HAPPENING A LOT TIGHTER THAN THE PRINCIPAL ON HAND.
HE SHOULD, HE SHOULD HAVE A TRUSTWORTHY COPY.
AND 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 UNDERSTAND IS IN THE CONVERSATION.
SO WE'RE ALL CONSENSUS HERE ON THE BOARD.
YOU WANNA, DO YOU WANNA BRIEFLY AND QUICKLY RUN OVER RULES AND REGULATIONS OR, WE KIND OF ALREADY DID THAT.
UM, UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RULE.
UM, THE LAST THING THAT I HAD FOR YOU WAS ON THE WELL, OKAY.
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 TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF, THIS ISN'T, UH, SET UP IN OUR OEE AS 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, AND OF COURSE THIS SHOWS THE USE FOR 20 21, 20 20 20 21 SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH WAS A COVID YEAR, WHICH WAS WEIRD.
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, NO, THAT 20 IS EACH INDIVIDUAL EVENT.
SO IF YOU HAD A SUNDAY, THAT'S A ONE.
NEXT SUNDAY'S A TWO, UM, WE, WE PRETTY MUCH SHUT DOWN FOR CHURCHES DURING COVID.
UM, AND THEN EVEN AS WE OPEN BACK UP, SAY BATTERY CREEKS HAD A CHURCH GOING THERE FOR A LONG TIME, BUT OF COURSE BATTERY CREEKS NOW IN CONSTRUCTION, SO IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO MEET THERE.
SO WHAT YOU SEE IS IT IS, YOU KNOW, AND EVEN AT THE TOP YOU'LL SEE THEIR SCHOOL EVENTS.
SO THAT'S WHERE SCHOOLS HAVE ENTERED THEIR EVENTS AS WE'VE ASKED THEM TO.
AND YOU KNOW, OVER HALF OF THESE, OR ALMOST A LITTLE UNDER HALF OF THESE ARE SCHOOL EVENTS, WHICH LIKE THAT NUMBER TO GET HIGHER IF POSSIBLE, IS THAT JUST AS MR. CAMPBELL WAS REFERRING TO, THAT'S KIND OF FORMING THAT CALENDAR OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
'CAUSE THEY'RE RESERVING THE SPACES.
UM, SO YEAH, I, I WON'T TALK IN, THERE'S SOME NOTES OVER THE SIDE ON WHAT GROUPS OR HOW WE GOT TO THOSE NUMBERS.
SO, UH, UNLESS, OH, ONE OF THE THINGS INTERESTING THERE, I THINK OF COURSE IS GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY USE.
YOU HAVE FOUR AND THAT WAS FOR THE COVID DRIVE THROUGH TESTINGS YEAH.
I THINK THAT'S, ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE EVENTS? UH, HOW ABOUT BE COUNTY COUNCIL? UH, I'M, I'M, I'M, I'VE NOTICED THE DEPUTIES, OUR SCHOOL, UH, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, WELL NOW THIS IS 20 20, 20 21.
SO THIS WOULD'VE BEEN THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR ENDING IN JULY.
IT WOULD NOT BE THIS CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR NUMBERS.
SO IF IT WAS IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS, IT WOULD NOT BE ON HERE.
AND BASICALLY THIS IS, THIS IS THE MASTER SCHEDULE OF EVERYONE WHO, WHO USE OUR FACILITIES.
IS THAT, IS THAT WHAT THIS IS THIS, I, I DON'T KNOW IF SCHEDULE'S THE RIGHT WORD, BUT THIS IS YES, THIS IS ACCOUNT OF EVERYBODY THAT'S USED OUR FACILITY FOR THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR.
AND THIS WOULD BE ALL BUILDINGS.
EVERYTHING THAT WAS ENTERED INTO FS.
DO EITHER OF THE CAMPBELL'S HAVE A QUESTION? NO, I DON'T.
NO, I, I THINK IT'S, IT'S GOOD WE KEEP THAT DOCUMENT THERE RATHER THAN NEED TO KEEP DOING THAT.
I DUNNO HOW WE CAN DO AND GET ANYTHING ELSE FROM IT.
BUT THAT'S, AT LEAST WE NEED THAT TO KNOW HOW WE CAN, HOW WE USING IT, HOW WE CAN FACILITATE IT, AND HOW IT, HOW IT INVOLVES OUR PROGRAM.
HOW IT INTEGRATES WITH WHAT WE, WHAT WE WANT DONE OVERALL FROM OUR SITES VERSUS THE COMMUNITY SITES.
ALSO THERE MASTER, IS THERE A MASTER, UH, IS THERE A MASTER, UM, PLACE IN THE DISTRICT THAT, THAT, THAT IS ON KEY WITH THIS RIGHT AS WELL? SO I GUESS WE, THE FS DIRECT WE'RE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT, THAT'S THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM WITH EVERY EVENT THAT'S LISTED THERE, ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THAT EVENT WOULD'VE BEEN SUBMITTED AND PLACED IN FS DIRECT.
SO THE OFFICE MANAGER AT THE SCHOOL WOULD'VE TAKEN THE, UH, APPLICATION,
[00:35:01]
THE INSURANCE, ANY THE, THE FEE DOCUMENTATION AND PUT THAT, SCAN THAT AND PUT THAT INTO FS DIRECT, UM, TO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF YOUR POINTS.HOW DO WE NOT KNOW? A LOT OF TIMES IF, IF AN EVENT WASN'T REGISTERED, ONE WAY WE FIND OUT IS THEY ASK FOR AIR CONDITIONING
THAT'S OUR ONE CATCH ON PEOPLE.
UH, ESPECIALLY AS IT GETS WARMER.
IF THEY HAVEN'T ENTERED IT, WE HAVEN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
WE DON'T TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING.
WE'LL GET CALLS LATE NIGHT OR SATURDAY.
WE'RE NOT AWARE OF THAT
SO, UM, I MOVE THAT THE, UM, OPERATIONS COMMITTEE RECOMMEND TO THE FULL BOARD APPROVAL OF OE 8.7 A SECOND, THE RIGHT MORNING.
IF SO, IF WE EVER ACTUALLY HAVE THE RIGHT WORDING SOMEWHERE, I'D BE ALL ABOUT IT.
BUT WE'RE SORT OF MAKING TO WORD APPROVAL.
I THINK IT'S CLEAR, IT'S CONCISE.
ROBIN'S TYPING IT IN A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR? I I IT CAN ROB CORBY GET STARTED? YEAH.
ALRIGHT, WE'RE READY FOR SOME REFERENDUM UPDATES.
WELL, WHILE ROBIN'S GETTING READY, I WILL GO AHEAD AND, UH, 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, UH, MARCH.
UH, LONG LEAD TIMES COST INCREASES 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 NOW FOR, UH, THE LAST, UH, FEW MONTHS, CONTINUE TO DO A REALLY GOOD JOB WORKING CLOSELY WITH DESIGNERS AND THE CONTRACTORS TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THESE CHALLENGES.
AND, UH, AT THE SAME TIME THEY'RE, THEY'RE, UH, KEEPING THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, UH, STAFF IN FULL.
UH, ROBIN, UH, IF YOU GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD TO SLIDE FIVE, THERE ARE TWO YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT APPEAR IN OUR, UH, MONTH'S, UH, PROJECT UPDATES.
IT'S THE SAME NUMBER THAT WE REPORTED LAST MONTH.
THE FIRST ONE IS AT BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.
THE YELLOW LIGHT THERE CONTINUES TO BE RELATED TO, UH, 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.
UH, AT THIS TIME THINGS AREN'T STILL, UH, MOVING FORWARD ON SCHEDULE.
UH, THE SECOND ONE IS ASSOCIATED WITH SLIDE 27.
THAT'S HILTON HEAD ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR BUDGET CONCERNS.
UH, WE, UH, DO FULLY EXPECT TO RECEIVE PRICING TO BE RECEIVED FOR THAT PROJECT AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT THERE FOR LIKE SIX MONTHS.
I KNOW IT'S NOT THAT THOSE WORDS HAVE NO MEANING ANYMORE, BUT
WE, 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 OFFICE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES.
SO, UH, I WOULD SAY ONE THING, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE.
I'LL, I'LL THROW IT OUT THERE.
WE DO HAVE A OSF INSPECTOR THAT HAS A REPUTATION THROUGHOUT THE STUDY FOR ENTHUSIASM.
AND WE, THIS IS OUR FIRST RUN IN WITH HIM AND IT'S VERY TRYING AND WE ARE WORKING THROUGH IT AS BEST WE CAN.
BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN.
I'VE MENTIONED IT TO LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, SOMETHING THAT POTENTIALLY, OKAY.
UM, I KNOW SHE JUMPED FROM, FROM THE, FROM THE PIT WHEN THE, THE FIRST PAGE WAS IT, WHAT? THE FIRST PAGE YOU WENT ON MR. CARPET? THE FIRST SLIDE I ASKED ROBIN TO PULL UP WAS SLIDE FIVE BECAUSE OF THE YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHT.
AND THE NEXT ONE I MOVED TO WAS WHERE THE SECOND, UH, YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHT APPEARS, WHICH IS SLIDE 27.
I I ACCIDENT BECAUSE I, I THOUGHT I SEE, SEE ONE ON SLIDE SIX.
THAT, THAT NOT WHAT THAT'S, THAT'S CONTINUATION.
THAT FIVE AND SIX ARE THE SAME PROJECT.
THE YELLOW LIGHT SHOWS UP ON THE
[00:40:01]
COVER.TURN BACK ON PAGE MR. SMITH BATTERY.
AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THOUGH.
SEE THE BATTERY CREATE, THAT'S THE SLIDE.
AND THAT SLIDE SENDS YOU TWO SLIDE SEVEN SO THAT IT ADDRESSES THAT YELLOW FLACK.
UH, I GUESS THE NEXT SLIDE, ROBIN, IF WE COULD GO AHEAD TO SLIDE 52.
UH, ANTICIPATING, UH, QUESTION COMING FROM THE ST.
HELENA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, JIM, 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 PRIOR TO THE END OF APRIL SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW, UH, THE COST 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 OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.
MOVING ON TO SLIDE 68 AND 69, DEAL WITH PROJECT CLOSEOUTS.
UM, 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, FOR THE REFERENDUM PROJECTS, A RECAP, WE HAVE SEVEN OF THEM, UH, CLOSED OUT TO DATE.
UH, WE HAVE MOVED THE TWO PROJECTS THAT UH, UH, ARE NOW IN THE CLOSEOUT PHASE.
THAT'S LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL IN WRIGHT.
AND FOR THE SIXTH THAT WE'VE BEEN REPORTING FOR, UH, THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS WITH YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE REMAINING ITEM FOR THAT DEDUCTIVE CHANGE ORDER THAT HAS BEEN FULLY EXECUTED FOR EACH OF THOSE PROJECTS WITH YELLOW LIGHTS.
AND THE LAST ITEM TO GET IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE IS THE FINAL PAYOUT.
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 CASH FLOW.
UH, THE FIGURES THERE, UH, FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE BOTTOM.
UH, OUR TOTAL FINANCIAL EXPENDITURES NOW FOR THE REFERENDUM THROUGH THE END OF MARCH NOW, TOTAL, UH, $119,539,651.
THE, UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH SLIDE IS THE NEXT ONE THAT I'D LIKE TO UH, DISCUSS.
CAN I PAUSE FOR ONE SECOND? ABSOLUTELY.
JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA COME BACK TO IT.
YOU SAID THROUGH APRIL YOU SPENT ONE 119,000, WAS IT FORECASTED A HUNDRED? NO, MARCH 31ST.
THE TOTAL SPENT TO DATE IS 119 MILLION.
AND I'M TRYING TO FIND LEAST MY AS IS JUST, BUT IT DOESN'T MATCH UP TO THE FORECASTED TOTAL.
AND I WAS JUST WONDERING, IT'S EITHER 1 24 OR 1 39.
THE FORECASTED TOTAL IS 1 24 0.6 THROUGH THE END OF MARCH.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE WITHIN ABOUT $5 MILLION OF OUR FORECAST, 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 ARE TO DATE THE DOLLAR.
AND THESE ARE EXPENDITURES AND NOT ENCUMBER.
THESE ARE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID OUT, BUT THERE'S A BIT MORE MONEY THAT'S BEEN CORRECT.
IF WE LOOK AT WHAT'S BEEN PAID AND WHAT'S BEEN ENCUMBERED OUT OF THE 344 MILLION, THE BALANCE THAT REMAINS STILL AVAILABLE IS DOWN TO JUST UNDER $99 MILLION.
SO THAT'S REPRESENTING, UH, ROUGHLY 28.7% IS WHAT REMAINS.
SO I, I I WOULD ADD HERE, WE, WE WERE KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT THIS NUMBER JUST BECAUSE NOW WE'VE GOT ROBERT SMALLS ONLINE NOW WE'VE GOT BATTERY CREEK.
YEAH, WE'RE RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS RIGHT NOW.
WE SPENT A LITTLE OVER 11 AND A HALF MILLION, WHICH WAS OUR GOAL FOR THE MONTH PREVIOUS.
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY, I THINK LAGGING ABOUT A MONTH BEHIND, WHICH IS BETTER THAN WE DID.
SO I MEAN, I, I'D BE EXCI IF WE GET THIR BETWEEN 13 AND 14 MILLION NEXT MONTH, WE'LL BE WE.
[00:45:01]
WE'LL SEE.I MEAN, WE'LL BE RIGHT IN STRIDE.
SO I, WHAT I'D SAY IS THIS IS A GOOD SIGN THAT FOR ME, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NUMBER FOR ME.
I, 'CAUSE THAT JUST TELLS US WHERE WE ARE AND HOW MUCH MOMENTUM WE HAVE.
I'D SAY WE'RE SLIGHTLY BEHIND, BUT WE'RE CATCHING UP AND I'M PRETTY PLEASED WITH THAT.
AND WITH THAT MOMENTUM, WE WILL SEE THAT CONTINUED PACE TO GO FORWARD THROUGH THE REMAINING PORTION OF THIS YEAR.
SO THAT'S ACTUALLY THE ONE HICCUP, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY SLOW US DOWN IS THAT IS NOT STARTED AND THAT'S HURTING EVENTUALLY YOUR COYOTE IS GONNA CATCH THE ROAD.
AND HILTON MIDDLE SCHOOL IS THE KEY, HAVE SAY, HAS TO STARTED.
NO, IT'S, THAT'S, IT HELPS DRASTICALLY.
AND THAT'S A GOOD TRANSITION TO GO TO SLIDE 78.
UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH, UH, HILTON HEAD, ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE DID HOLD OUR, UH, COMMUNITY OUTREACH ON 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, UH, UPCOMING MEETINGS TO SHARE THE PLANS FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND, UH, SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE ARTS.
THAT'S GONNA BE ON APRIL 26TH 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 AND GIRLS CLUB.
THAT DATE AND TIME STILL BEING DETERMINED.
BUT JUST AS WE'VE DONE BEFORE, ONCE WE HAVE THINGS LOCKED IN, I'LL GET, UH, THE INFORMATION TO ROBINSON THAT THAT INFORMATION CAN BE DISSEMINATED AMONGST ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS.
AND I DON'T WANNA MONOPOLIZE, BUT IT IS HEALTH 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.
AND SO I THINK THIS IS EXCELLENT.
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB I THINK IS GONNA BRING IN OTHER PARENTS BECAUSE PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR IT.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND UH, THIS WILL HELP THAT CAUSE EXACTLY.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE ONE QUESTION I HAVE, 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 BASED THING AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THE COMMUNITY EXCITED, NOT JUST THE STUDENTS, RIGHT.
LIKE YOU WANT THE TAXPAYERS AND THE COMMUNITY LEADERS.
I'D LOVE TO SEE THE, I MEAN FOR HILTON HEAD, THE TOWN COUNCIL COME AND UNDERSTAND AND FEEL LIKE MORE OF A PARTNERSHIP WITH WHAT THE SCHOOL'S DOING.
IT'S, WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TURNOUTS NO.
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND I KNEW THAT WAS GONNA BE THE BIG IS WE OF THE SCHOOL.
IT'S HARDER GETTING INTO CLASS.
SO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THE SCHOOLS IS TO GET THE PARENTS INVOLVED.
I MEAN, GOING TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IS TO GET MORE OF A WIDER COMMUNITY.
UM, WE WILL GO WHEREVER YOU THINK YOU SHOULD GO.
I MEAN, ANYBODY THAT'S GOT A SUGGESTION ON WHERE TO GO, WE'LL WE'RE A TRAVELING ROAD SHOW.
AND BY THE WAY, CAROL AND FREDDIE AND I ARE GONNA DO THE PRESENTATION FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, NOT THE ARCHITECT.
IT'S NOT SO MUCH WHERE AS MUCH JUST THAT IN THE WORD AS, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH, LIKE THE WHERE IS FINE.
OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT YOU TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I'VE GOT A LOT OF NEIGHBORS WHO WOULD SHOW UP AND WANNA HEAR ABOUT IN THINKING OF THE NEXT WE COME TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WANT US TO COME.
WE HAVE GONE TO NEIGHBORHOODS BEFORE.
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 PRINCIPAL'S JOB.
I I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE TRUMPING THAT THAT IS THEIR SCHOOL, THAT IS THEIR COMMUNITY THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO.
SO, AND SOME FEEL A BETTER JOB THAN OTHERS.
MAYBE THEN MAYBE COULD YOU SOME HELP FROM CANDACE? OH, WE'LL HELP 'EM.
BUT, WELL, WHAT, WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO WHEN YOU REACH OUT? IS, IS THE QUESTION.
AND YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU EXPECTING TO GET AS A RESULT OF THAT REACH OUT? YOU KNOW, I MEAN, HILTON HEAD, IT'S DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY WANT BUT THEY ALSO EXPECT, AND YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY GONNA COME TO A MEETING.
PARENTS CAN COME TO A MEETING TO HEAR WHAT YOU, WHAT YOUR PROGRESS IS IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION.
THEY JUST EXPECT THAT CONSTRUCTION TO BE DONE THE CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.
AND THEN, THEN YOU HEAR FROM THEM OTHERWISE.
BUT I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT MY EXPERIENCE IS WITH HILTON HEAD SCHOOL AND THEIR PARENTS.
A A A A GOOD SELLING POINT MIGHT BE
[00:50:01]
THAT IF YOU SORT IT FROM A DIFFERENT LEVEL, I DON'T THINK YOU, YOU MIGHT HAVE THE PEOPLE YOU WANT THERE, BUT IF YOU WENT TO SOME OF THOSE POAS, YOU MIGHT GET A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION.NOT NECESSARILY THEIR, THEIR THEIR PARENTS, BUT THE FACT IS THAT THEY'RE ON BOARD MIGHT, YOU KNOW, HELP CREATE A, A CULTURE OR ATMOSPHERE THAT SUPPORTS WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, HAVING IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK BECAUSE IT, IT HEAD IS TRADITIONARY, PARENTS ARE TRANSITIONAL TOO.
THEIR KIDS GONNA BE THERE FOR FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL OR EIGHT YEARS IN THE SCHOOLS.
AND WHEN THEY'RE GONE, PARENTS ARE GONE.
BUT THE OVERALL COMMUNITY EXPECTS A CERTAIN LEVEL, YOU KNOW, OF EXPERTISE AND PERFORMANCE AND IN TERMS OF THE SCHOOLS.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TO SUPPORT FROM ALL OF THOSE ENTITIES IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE TON THERE.
IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN SOME OF THE OTHER, UH, COMMUNITIES.
MY POINT IS THOUGH, WITH READING IT, I THINK YOU CAN HAVE THE PRINCIPALS DO THE SCHOOLS.
I KNOW PARENTS WHEN THEY GET, AND ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE WE HAVE A LARGE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER COMMUNITY, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY, YOU KEEP BOMBARDED WITH ALL THIS STUFF FROM SCHOOLS, RIGHT? SO IT KIND OF GETS, IT'S HARD TO GET PARENTS' ATTENTIONS, BUT LET'S SET THAT ASIDE.
TO ME, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME INTO HILTON 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, I'M WORKING WITH HILTON HEAD BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY LEADERS SHOW UP, TAXPAYERS, THE TWO RETIRED STATE SUPERINTENDENTS OF EDUCATION WHO LIVE IN HILTON HEAD WHO MIGHT WANT TO COME IN, GENERATE ENTHUSIASM, GEN.
'CAUSE RIGHT NOW I DO FEEL LIKE, AND MAYBE HILTON HAS UNIQUE, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HILTON HEAD WHO DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SCHOOLS ARE.
IN FACT, SOMEONE THAT FOR MAYOR ASKED ME WHERE THE SCHOOLS WORK.
NOT CURRENTLY, THIS WAS PREVIOUS YEAR.
BUT MY POINT BEING LIKE THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY.
I WOULDN'T EVEN BE AN OPPORTUNITY AT MAY RIVER TO SAY, HEY, HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON.
SO WE, WHAT I'LL TELL YOU THAT IS WE'LL GO TO ANYBODY THAT INVITES US.
NUMBER TWO, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GETTING, UH, LOCAL LEADERS, POLITICIANS INVOLVED.
I DO THINK THAT IT DEFINITELY NEEDED, FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ISN'T QUITE THAT SIZE PROJECT.
I MEAN, NOW WHEN WE GET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, I, I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, LAURA, SECOND.
NOW IF THEY WANT US TO COME, WE'LL GO CO BUT I, I DON'T SEE REACHING OUT TO THEM AND, AND TRYING TO GET A BIG EVENT WITH SAY THE MAYOR AND EVERYBODY OH NO, I'M NOT SAYING SAYING LIKE AFFORD THEM THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT FOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, YES, MOST DEFINITELY.
THEY, THEY WILL NEED TO BE A PART OF THAT CONVERSATION.
AM AND MY QUESTION WILL BE TO YOU, WHAT'S DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOL? WELL, THE, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECT JUST PUT IT OUT OF THE PROJECT.
WELL, BUT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS MORE LIKE BUFORD L 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.
WHERE HILTON HEAD HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE A COM.
IT IS GONNA TAKE A LOT MORE DECISIONS.
IT NEEDS MORE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
IT, WELL, NOT COMPLETELY, IT'S GONNA BE A RENOVATED BUILDING, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE EQUIVALENT TO, WHAT'S THE TERM, REBUILT BUILDING.
IT'S GONNA BE MORE LIKE BATTERY CREEK.
BATTERY CREEK IS A MAJOR CHANGE FROM WHAT IT WAS BEFORE.
UM, AND ACTUALLY IT'S GONNA BE WAY BIGGER THAN BATTERY CREEK.
UM, IT'S GONNA BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN BATTERY CREEK AND MARCH ADDITIONS ONTO THE RENOVATIONS.
WHAT'S THAT? ADDITIONS ON THE RENOVATION GONNA BE.
AND THE WAY THAT I ALWAYS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT TYPE OF A RENOVATION IS I CATEGORIZE IT AS A MAJOR RENOVATION WHERE WHEN YOU WALK IN, THE FINISHES HAVE BEEN REDONE, THE HVAC SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SO THAT YOU'RE BASICALLY RESETTING IT SO THAT FOR LACK OF BETTER TERMS, YOU'RE BASICALLY WELCOME BACK INTO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A NEW FACILITY.
WELL, AND THERE'S GONNA BE SOME MAJOR ADDITIONS THAT ARE GONNA BE NEW AND ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF INPUT.
[00:55:01]
WE WOULD LIKE.BUT JUST TO WALK YOU BACK TO MY MAIN POINT IS THAT THIS, THERE'S NO, THERE'S, THERE'S NO SITUATION MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER.
I THINK SO TOO MANY TIMES WHERE WE CATEGORIZE THINGS THAT WAY AND THAT'S WHAT BRINGS COMMUNITY IN THE, IN THE, IN THE, THE DISTRICT INTO A, A DISCONNECT.
E EVERY TIME THAT WE DO SOMETHING LIKE RIGHT HERE, WE OUGHT TO BE ACTIVELY AND ENGAGINGLY GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED.
FOR SO LONG, THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN
I HAD THEM PUSHED ASIDE AND KIND OF FELT LIKE AS THOUGH THEY DIDN'T WANNA BE INVOLVED.
AND NOW, SO WHEN THEY HEAR STUFF LIKE, WELL, WE GO TO THE MEETING AND THEY GIVE FEEDBACK, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS.
SO IT, I I THINK, I THINK IT IS, UH, IS OUR JOB TO INCLUDE OUR PR DEPARTMENT.
BECAUSE I I'M HEARING, I'M, I'M HEARING YOU WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND HOW YOU'RE SAYING IT.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SAYING, WELL, YEAH, YOU, YOU GO TO THE MEETING.
BUT AT SOME, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND OWN IN, IN, IN THIS MEETING THAT WE ARE HAVING, BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I'VE HEARD WHEN Y'ALL WENT INTO, INTO, INTO MY COMMUNITY AND THEN DID SOME OF THIS.
IS THAT, OH, I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT, I HEARD ABOUT IT.
OH, SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE MEETING.
OH, THE MEETING IS ABOUT, SO PEOPLE HANG ABOUT SOME MEETING, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY GOING ON IN THIS MEETING.
SO THEREFORE THERE'S A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY.
THEN EVERY TIME MEETING, LONG STORY SHORT IS THAT SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT.
SOMEBODY SAID, I'M GONNA BE THE CAPTAIN OF THIS SHIP, INCLUDING OUR PR PR AS WELL AS THE, AS WELL AS THIS, THIS COMMITTEE.
WE ARE OPENLY INVITING Y'ALL AND WE ARE LISTENING TO YOUR FEEDBACK BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY FEEL THAT WHAT THEY, WHAT WHAT THEY'RE GONNA BRING TO THE MEETING IS, IS IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THEY ARE A PART OF THIS, A PART OF THIS TEAM AND, AND, AND MAKING THIS DECISION INTO WHAT'S REALLY GONNA HAPPEN.
IF NOT, THEN YOU KNOW, UP TO SOME DEGREE, YOU KNOW, THEY FOR THE JOB REALLY DON'T WANT 'EM TO COME.
'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
EVEN, EVEN IF SO THEN, THEN DON'T INVITE THEM THERE.
THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT
BUT, BUT IF, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, THEN THEY BRING EVERYONE TO THE, TO THE TABLE AND LET THEM HAVE INPUT.
BECAUSE THAT'S THE, THAT'S WHY JOINED THE SCHOOL BOARD, THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT WE ALL HAVE TO HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CONDUCT.
SHE SAID THE COUNTY COUNCIL, THE HI, UH, THE HI NET COUNCIL, BECAUSE THIS IS ALL OF OUR SCHOOL.
THIS IS A, THIS, THESE ARE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.
THESE ARE NOT PRIVATE, PRIVATE TO PRIVATE, UH, SCHOOLS.
IN ORDER, WHEN WE, WE PUSH OUR REFERENDUMS, WE GO TO ALL THESE MEETINGS AND WE ASK ALL THESE PEOPLE TO HELP US PUSH IT.
AND THEN THEY PUSH BACK AND WE WONDER WHY.
SO THIS IS THE, THIS IS A SITUATION RIGHT NOW IS, IS WHAT BUILDS UP TO REFERENDUMS. WHAT BUILDS UP TO BUILDING THESE NEW BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE OF RELATIONSHIPS.
SO I I I, I, I, I, UM, BEG IF YOU NOT ASKING, I ASKED THAT WHEREVER YOU GET WITH KENNETH BREWTER, WHEREVER YOU WITH COMMUNITIES AND BOARD MEMBERS, YOU, YOU KNOW, BOARD MEMBERS KNOW WHO IN THE COMMUNITY, OUR LEADERS AND ALSO WHO IN THE, WHO IN IN THE COMMUNITY WILL BE.
WHO GIVES THEM SAY, HEY, WELL WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
OKAY, WELL NOW THAT PERSON COMES AND SAY HAVE A PROBLEM, I'M CALLING YOU AND INVITE YOU TO THIS MEETING.
THAT'S HOW YOU SHUT THAT DOWN.
SO EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE A CHAT TABLE TELL WE DO THAT.
ESPECIALLY ABOUT BUILDING ON TO WHAT WOULD BE A REFERENDUM.
I MEAN THAT'S, I MEAN, YOU GOT THE NEXT, WE WANNA BUILD THAT LOW MANONE SOONER.
WELL I THINK YOU GOT YOU, YOU, WE'VE HEARD, AND I'M GLAD MR. SMITH, THAT YOU CHIME IN BECAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE TIL HEAD WE'RE JUST SO POMPOUS AND WE WANT SPECIAL TREATMENT, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S, NO, IT'S DISTRICTWIDE.
NOW I DO HAVE ONE MORE COMMUNITY, UH, OUTREACH UPDATE.
I REALIZED I LEFT A SIGNIFICANT UPDATE OFF OF THE SLIDE TOMORROW, APRIL 21ST FROM FOUR 30 TO SIX 30 AT THE DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS AT DESC, WE'RE GONNA BE HOSTING ANOTHER LOCAL VENDOR, MWBE OUTREACH EVENT.
WE'VE INVITED ALL FIVE OF OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING THESE PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE PROJECT MANAGERS.
ALL OF THEM WILL BE THERE AT THE MEETING.
AND THE INTENT IS JUST TO ENCOURAGE THE LOCAL VENDORS AND MWS 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 IN THE POST IN COURIER.
WE ALSO DID ADVERTISEMENTS ON TWO LOCAL, UH, RADIO STATIONS AS WELL.
SO HOW OFTEN? THAT'S TOMORROW.
WE DO THOSE TYPICALLY ONCE A YEAR.
I THINK MAYBE LAST YEAR WE MAY HAVE DONE IT TWICE,
[01:00:01]
UH, BUT AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.AND WHAT I'LL SAY IS, AND THIS IS OUR, OUR TURNOUT HAS NOT BEEN AS HIGH AS I WOULD'VE LIKE, BUT WHAT HAS BEEN AS HIGH AS THOSE THAT TURN OUT GET JOBS? I MEAN, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE IF YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY THAT'S GOT A TRADE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, THEY WILL GET WORK OUT.
IT HAS ALL THE INSURANCE AND BONDING EVEN WITHOUT, BECAUSE THE CMS WILL WORK WITH THEM.
THE CMS ABOUT HOW TO RAISE SOME OF THE CMS ARE BETTER.
SOME OF 'EM HAVE PROGRAMS SET UP THAT WILL HELP BOND THOSE THAT CAN'T GET.
SO ANYBODY THAT YOU KNOW, THAT HAS ANY INTEREST THAT IN ANY KIND OF CONSTRUCTION TRADE, UM, LET THEM KNOW BECAUSE THEY CAN GET WORK FROM US.
THERE'S NOT A, WE HAVE SO MUCH.
SO MR. CO CORBIN, THE, UH, POST AND COURIER DID, WAS IT ALSO THE ISLAND NEWS AND THE BU BETTE, I MEAN, YES.
SO IT'S, YOU DIDN'T POSTON COURIER.
WHERE'S THAT? CHARLESTON? YEAH.
BUT YEAH, WE PUT IN THE OUTBACK AND AS WELL, BLUFFING, UH, BLUFFTON NEWS.
I MEAN, SO YOU, YOU SATURATED THE LOCAL MARKET TOO? YES.
HOW ABOUT
DID YOU DO THE CHAMBER? SO THE BLACK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE CHAMBER.
SO YOU JUST GAVE US, I MEAN, WHEN YOU JUST SAID THOSE THREE THINGS, I KIND OF, MY HEART FELL.
SO, OH, THOSE WERE THE EXAMPLES.
YEAH, I WAS GONNA SAY THERE WERE PROBABLY SIX TO EIGHT PUBLICATIONS.
AND TWO RADIO STATIONS THAT I'M NOT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO GET SOME.
WHAT WERE RADIO STATIONS, IF YOU WANT ME ASKING? THEY WERE THE GALA RADIO AND PRAISE RADIO.
'CAUSE I'LL SAY THERE'S NOT A BUT.
BUT I, I THINK ALSO THOSE STUFF LIKE THAT, THAT'S WHY AS I THINK IT'S ONCE AGAIN, JUST GO BACK TO WHEN I SAID IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH US.
BECAUSE I MEAN HIM, HE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
LIKE, LIKE GOT OUT TO THE CHURCHES THAT THE CHURCHES ALSO COULD THEN LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW.
I ALL, A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW RIGHT NOW, THEY TELL SCRIPT.
I'M LISTENING TO CARL, THEY'RE LISTENING TO THE RADIO.
THEY'RE LISTENING TO DIFFERENT, THEY'RE LISTENING TO DIFFERENT CDS AND STUFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T WATCH THE NEWS AND NOT READ THE PAPER.
'CAUSE THEY, THEY FIGURE LIFE IS HARDER ENOUGH TO READ IT IN THE PAPER TO WATCH THE NEWS.
I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THE YOUNG, THAT'S WHAT EVEN OLD PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME.
THEY DON'T, I DON'T REALLY, I DON'T WATCH THE NEWS.
SO IF WE'RE NOT HITTING THEM THERE, THEN WHERE ARE WE HITTING THEM? SO, I MEAN, I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE I, I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA SAY, AND THAT MY BREATH BI REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE WE ARE MAXIMIZING OUR POTENTIAL.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, MR. BRU.
THAT'S, THAT THAT TYPE OF STUFF SHOULD BE PUT, PUT OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
BECAUSE I GO AND TELL SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST THING THEY TELL ME, I GO BE
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAYING? WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP, THE PEOPLE WHO THEY WANT SHOW UP, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S WHO SHOWS UP.
I, I WHY, WHY, WHY Y'ALL? HOW COME YOU, YOU JUST NOT AS A BOARD MEMBER? I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, SO WHEN THEY CONTACT ME, MAXIMIZING OUR POTENTIALS, WHEN YOU SHOOT MAX EMAILS, YOU JUST TELL, TELL EVERYONE THAT EV EVERYONE KNOW WE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE ON THESE PROJECTS, WE SHOULD BE MAXIMIZING OUR POTENTIAL.
AND THEN LETTING EVERYONE KNOW, SHOULDN'T NO ONE NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT.
FOR TOMORROW, WE, WE GOING, WE SAY, WELL, WE ONLY HAVE CERTAIN PEOPLE SHOWED UP OR WE NOT WHERE WE WANT 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, THE OTHER THING I'M THINKING THAT WE COULD DO, THIS IS JUST ON THE TOPIC, BUT, YOU KNOW, INVITE A TO SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND START THINKING SO THEY SEE WHAT THE PROCESS IS LIKE, WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
ANYWAY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT TOPIC.
AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO, BUT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO GO HAVE, I WAS TALKING TO THE LADY OTHER DAY WHO, WE HAVE ALL THESE SCHOOLS NOW WHO HAVE FACEBOOKS AND THESE PARENTS ARE, I'M EXCITED BECAUSE THESE PARENTS ARE, SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY LOOKING AND CHECKING ON, ON THESE FACEBOOKS.
SO WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF, A WHOLE LOT OF OUTLET THAT WE CAN USE THAT IT'S, IT IS VERY IMPERATIVE THAT WE START USING THESE OUTLETS.
AND DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS A FACEBOOK POST THAT WE COULD ALL SHARE? YOU COULD SHARE IT.
I CAN IT, I'LL REACH OUT IN THIS AND IF IT'S NOT BEEN POSTED, I'LL MAKE SURE GETS POSTED.
AND THEN AT THE SHE'LL GET ALL SOME, IF WE ALL SHARE IT ON THOSE OF US THAT ARE OUT.
AND MR. THIS IS JUST NOT ON YOU.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL MUST GET BETTER AT.
THIS IS NOT THE I A A ROBERT OUTING, UH, STEVE, BECAUSE WE, WITH TIME, LIKE ONE, IT GETS FINE.
SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL MUST GET BETTER AT.
BUT IF, BUT IF WE IGNORE IT AND WE, WE NOT, WE DON'T PAY THE ATTENTION, THEN IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
SO WE HAVE TO BE THE CHANGE THAT WE WANNA SEE THAT.
[01:05:02]
YOU THANK YOU.BECAUSE YOU GUYS GO THROUGH A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET THE, THE, THE PEOPLE THERE THAT WANT TO HIRE PEOPLE.
SO WE NEED TO GET WORKERS THERE.
THAT'S, THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY ON THEM.
THAT'S PART OF OUR COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD BETTER.
SOMETIMES IT HAS TO JUMP ON THE GROUND UP.
UM, IS THAT CONCLUDE YOUR REPORT? IT DOES.
UM, WHAT I GONNA SAY THOUGH, I DO THINK QUOTE, BECAUSE THERE'S ALL THESE STUDENTS, OH, SORRY, THIS IS, UM, THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO CONNECT JOBS, RIGHT.
TO KEEP THEM IN SCHOOL GRADUATION AND ALSO TO KEEP THEM IN THE AREA.
SO, UM, I KNOW THIS IS A CONCERN ON HILTON HEAD THAT A LOT OF KIDS ON HILTON HAD.
LIKE, THERE'S NO WAY CAN LIVE HERE.
WHICH THE RENT INCREASE IS NOT BE TRUE.
UM, BUT WE HAD, WE'RE DEVELOPING THIS LOCAL WORKFORCE THROUGH OUR CTE PROGRAMS, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS TO ACCESS.
LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE HAD VENDOR AFFAIRS UNTIL I JOINED THE BOARD.
SO TAKING THEM AS STUDENTS AND YOU KNOW, REACHING OUT TO DR.
COME SEE WHAT, THIS IS HOW WE NETWORK.
AND IF YOU'RE A CONTRACT, YOU MEET SOME CMS WHO SAY, LOOK, AS SOON AS YOU GRADUATE, I'LL HIRE YOU.
I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TOO.
TO, AND, AND HE HAS A VENDOR LIST.
'CAUSE HE ALSO HAS A VENDOR THERE FOR HIS STUDENTS.
SO IF YOU ACCESS HIS VENDOR LIST TO COME TO YOUR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? HE HAS ELECTRICIANS THAT GO THERE AND, AND, AND SPEAK TO STUDENTS AND PLUMBERS AND WELDERS AND, UH, SURVEYORS.
WELL, THERE'S A CADRE OF BUSINESSES RIGHT THERE THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BE INTERESTED IN EMPLOYING.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST, SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A, IS THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO DO ONE SOUTH BROAD
I KNOW, I'M, I'M OBNOXIOUS ABOUT IT, BUT PEOPLE IT'S FAR AWAY.
THERE'S HUGE WORKFORCE IN THERE THAT MIGHT BE TAPPED MORE AGGRESSIVELY AS WE DID IT.
THAT'S GONNA BE MY, WE DID SOUTH ABROAD SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
I THINK WE DID SOMETIME BEFORE PANDEMIC.
THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN THE YEAR OR A COUPLE YEARS.
WAS THAT FOR THE REFERENDUM WORK THOUGH? BUT PRIOR TO THIS, EIGHT REFEREND WOULD'VE BEEN EARLIER.
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 AND YOU'RE WORKING TILL FIVE, YOU GET OFF WORK.
AND WE TRIED A SATURDAY IN THAT DAY.
BUT WHAT WE FOUND WAS, IS THAT IF WE PUT IT MORE TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY AND THEN WENT INTO SIX 30, IT ALLOWED PEOPLE TO WRAP UP, WORK ON A JOB SITE AND STILL MAKE THIS MEET.
BUT I HAD NOT THOUGHT OF A THAT'S THE FIRST, THAT'S A, THAT'S A, THAT'S A NATURAL FIT, ISN'T IT? WELL KIDS TODAY, THEY DON'T, THEY, THEY WE'RE GIVING THEM EDUCATION.
SORRY, I'M JUST SORT OF GETTING CASUAL.
BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THE, WITH RECENT, UH, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, WE'RE GIVING THEM THESE SKILLS AND CAREER IN 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, THERE'S A PROCESS.
WE HAVE THIS WORKFORCE THAT WE'RE RAISING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE HOMEGROWN.
AND, UM, THAT'S NECESSARY TOO.
THEY DON'T, THEN THEY GRADUATE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO, HOW TO DO, GET A JOB AND THEN THEY GET SUCKED INTO A BAD JOB.
WELL, I, I DON'T THINK WE WERE GONNA BE DONE BY SIX, BUT HEY, WE ARE EXCELLENT.
UM, HOW ABOUT AN UPDATE ON WHERE THE COUNTY IS WITH WANTING ACCESS ACROSS THE EASEMENT? ALL I CAN SAY IS I REACHED OUT TO JARED ICK.
I JUST SENT HIM AN EMAIL LIKE A WEEK AGO ASKING IF HE NEEDED, IF HE WAS, AND I DID NOT GET ANY RESPONSE.
SO THAT WOULD BE A FUTURE TOPIC.
IF HE, IF I GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM AND HE ASKS FOR, UM, MORE TIME.
'CAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE GONNA COME BACK PRETTY QUICKLY AND I SO HEARD FROM HIM.
I WOULD SAY WE, UH, ARE WE GONNA DO FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT? WE'RE GONNA DO THAT AT THE JOINT MEETING WITH, UM, NORTH ABROAD.
SOUTH ABROAD OR OPERATION? UM, I THINK WE'RE GONNA DO THAT AT OPERATIONS.
SO IT'D BE FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT.
WILL YOU BE DONE OR IS IT JUST A MIDCOURSE UPDATE? IT'LL BE PROBABLY AT THE NINE, FIVE ISH COMPLETION RANGE.
[01:10:01]
THE UPDATE I GOT THIS AFTERNOON WAS THAT WE WERE RAPIDLY APPROACHING EIGHT.SO I THINK BY THE NEXT MEETING WE SHOULD, IF WE'RE NOT FINISHED, WE SHOULD BE VERY CLOSED.
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A SECOND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A SECOND MEETING THAT'S NOT FACILITIES FOCUSED.
AND I KNOW ROBIN IS SO EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT THE SEC, YOU KNOW, BUT AT THAT ONE, UM, AGENDA SETTING, THEY SAID WE COULD TALK ABOUT, UH, STAFF RETENTION IMPROVEMENT AS AN HR THING.
WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE, UH, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE TENURE, I MEAN THE CAPITAL, CAPITAL 8%.
SO YOU HAVE SO CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND CAPITAL YES.
FACILITY CONDITION UPDATE AND CAPITAL PLAN.
GO TOGETHER, ROLL ONE, ROLL
A WORK SESSION, AN OPERATIONS WORK SESSION ALONG VENDOR, ALONG TO THE VENDOR FAIR.
THE CAPITAL PLAN, UH, CONVERSATION IS A FIRST DIVE INTO IT.
WE'RE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING, IT'S JUST HERE'S WHERE WE'RE SET UP.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU HOMEWORK ON THAT ONE.
PROBABLY COME BACK TO THE NEXT ONE.
SO THAT IS NOT GONNA BE A HUGE CONVERSATION.
IT'S MORE AN INTRODUCTORY CONVERSATION.
SIMILAR, LIKE WHAT WE DID HOPE THAT THAT'S GONNA INTEGRATE WITH WHAT YOU GET FROM THE, FROM THE AD MEETINGS WITH THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
I SAID I HOPE THAT THAT CAPITAL PLAN MEETING WILL HAVE COORDINATED ALREADY.
SO WE GET SOME INKLING OF WHERE WE HEADED IN THE FUTURE.
WITH, WITH, WITH, WITH, WITH BLUFFTON PARTICULARLY, BUT ALSO WITH THE NORTH OF THE BROAD SCHOOLS AND, AND WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE GOING THERE.
WELL THAT'S, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK WE CAN IN GOOD FAITH MOVE TO ANOTHER REFERENDUM UNLESS WE HAVE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE IN TERMS OF STUDYING AND PLANNING ON WHERE WE CAN HEADED.
THERE'S NO POINT OF BUILDING SCHOOLS THAT'S GOING TO BE OBSOLETE OR ARCHAIC IN, IN, IN 10 YEARS.
THINK I THINK WE OUGHT TO REALLY LOOK DOWN THE ROAD AT A NUMBER OF THINGS AND IT'S, IT'S PERIOD IN, IN EDUCATION AND IN AMERICA THAT THINGS ARE SHIFTING AND WE DON'T WANNA GO DOWN THE SAME ROAD DOING THE SAME THINGS IF IT'S SHIFTING AT THE PACE IS SHIFTING.
SO ALL OF THAT'S PART OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO, TO, FOR US TO EMBRACE.
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, WE WANT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF, UM, UNDERSTANDING THE BACKGROUND AND, YOU KNOW, PREPARING FOR THAT.
AND LIKE, I THINK MR. AUDIENCE SAID WE'RE GONNA HAVE HOMEWORK, SO THEY'RE GONNA TELL US LIKE, HERE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE WE DO, WE HAVE TO HAVE A VERY FULSOME DISCUSSION.
WELL, I CAN, I THINK MR. CAMPBELL, I WANT TO SAY WHAT MR. CAMPBELL'S REFERRING TO IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE BRINGING TO THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING, RIGHT? NO, WE'RE GONNA BE BRINGING MORE OF THE PROJECTS FOR NEXT SUMMER.
UM, 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, SOUTH ABROAD MEETING, WHICH I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT APRIL 28TH.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, THAT'S NEXT WEEK WE NEED TO TELL YOU THIS.
OH, REALLY? APRIL IS NEXT WEEK.
IS A MEETING FOR WHEN? NEXT APRIL 28TH.
IT WAS GONNA BE THE REGULAR TIME OF THE, UM, SOUTH BRONX.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING TO THAT.
IS THAT THEIR THING IN THE EVENING? YEAH.
AND I DIDN'T SEE YOU AFTERWARDS TO TELL YOU THAT.
I DO THINK THERE'S A, OUR MEETING'S OVER, RIGHT? YEAH.
WE HAVE ADJOURNED OUR MEETING TO AJOUR.
IF YOU'RE GONNA, IS THIS CAMERA GONNA STAY ON OR, YEAH.
SO I CAN TURN ROBIN, ISN'T THERE A MEETING? HE, HE WANTS STAY ON MEETING MONDAY THE 25TH.
THERE IS AN NLL BE MEETING MONDAY THE 25TH AT TWO 30.
SO I TALKED TO EARL, I TALKED TO EARL LAST NIGHT AND UM, MENTIONED ABOUT THE JOINT ONE THAT YOU HAD MENTIONED ROBERT.
AND, AND SO I THINK HE'S ON BOARD FOR THAT.
HE, HE, HE JUST DIDN'T HAVE HIS CALENDAR IN FRONT OF HIM TO REMEMBER THAT WE ALREADY HAD ONE FOR MONDAY.
SO I THINK THAT ONE'S GONNA BE
[01:15:01]
CANCELED.OH, IT'S, I THINK HE'S GONNA CANCEL THAT.
IS MR. EARL CAMPBELL STILL ON? HE MIGHT NEED TO EMAIL OR CALL AND ASK HIM IF HE'S CANCELING THAT ONE TO DO A JOINT ONE.
BUT ROBERT, DO YOU STILL WANNA DO THE 28TH EVEN THOUGH THAT, THAT'S HILTON HEAD.
WHAT, WHAT WAS THAT? THE HILTON HEAD? THAT WAS THAT LITTLE, THE ART, ART LEAGUE OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS.
OPEN HOUSE AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THAT'S KIND OF NEAT TO SEEING WHAT THEY HAVE THERE.
UM, SO, BUT I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A JOINT LEAD? WELL, BECAUSE BOTH THE NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY AD HOC COMMITTEE AND THE SOUTHERN HAVE TASKED US WITH COMING UP WITH A PROCESS ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD.
REALLY THAT PROCESS IS GONNA BECOME A, A DISTRICTWIDE PROCESS.
SO IT, IT'S KIND OF WHAT BOTH ARE ASKING IS THE SAME, I GUESS IT YEAH.
PROCESS DIFFERENT AGENDA, TWO DIFFERENT AGENDAS.
BUT IT ALSO, I FEEL THAT EVERY, EVERY, THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES HAVE THEIR DIFFERENT FOCUSES AND NOW YOU'RE BRINGING EVERYONE TO ONE TO ONE FOCUS.
AND THAT I THINK THAT THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OFF.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU SHOULD JOIN.
WELL, BUT THE, THE PROBLEM IS HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NORFOLK OR SOUTH, I THINK OUR FOCUS IS HOW CAN WE MAKE IT BETTER ON THEM ON THIS SIDE AND HOW CAN THEY GETTING BETTER ORGANIZATION OUT NORTHERN NORTH OF BRONX.
SO COMING TO SOUTH OF BRONX AND HAVING A MEETING WITH THEM AND, AND, AND LISTENING TO WHAT THEY, I I THINK IT ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE ONE BIG MEETING AND BE FOCUSING ON EVERYTHING.
I DON'T, I DON'T SEE HOW THAT'S, HOW THAT'S CONDUCIVE.
WELL, THE PROBLEM IS THEY'RE BOTH, BOTH TRACKS ARE GONNA NEED TO OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME.
SO THE, WHAT NORTHERN BEACH COUNTY WANTS TO FIGURE OUT WITH, UM, IN NORTHERN BEACH COUNTY WITH THE USE CAPACITY NEEDS TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME THAT SOTHEBY COUNTY HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE.
SO, AND PART OF IT TOO IS WE NEED TO BRING THE HILTON IMPACT COMMUNITY IN ON SOME OF THAT CONVERSATION AS WELL.
BECAUSE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT YOU SEE NORTH ABROAD, YOU SEE AT SOME OF THE, AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
SO THAT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, THE WAY WE'VE LOOKED AT IT IS WE ALL NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER TO ONE POINT TO PROCEED GOING FORWARD.
SO THAT, THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE WANTED TO DO IT TOGETHER.
BUT I, I PARALLEL TRACKS THAT, THAT SOME THINGS WOULD BE ADDRESSED THE SAME AGAIN, AS PART OF IT'S TALKING ABOUT EQUITY, HOW WE'RE GONNA ACHIEVE THIS EQUITY.
THAT'S IN BOTH WAYS, RIGHT? AND RIGHT, THAT'S A BIG PART OF THIS CONVERSATION.
BUT THAT'S CASE WE HAVE ONE, ONE BIG JOINT, JOINT JOINT, UH, JOINT GROUP THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A SOFT SOFTWARE ABROAD COMMITTEE.
ENOUGH ENVIRON, THE REASON WHY WE SEPARATE THE COMMITTEE WAS FOR, WAS FOR A REASON.
SO BRINGING TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW, I DON'T, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A MEETING BEFORE THAT WE SEE THE NEEDS COME TOGETHER AND THEN COME TOGETHER, BUT TO COME TOGETHER AT ONE POINT IN TIME AND HAVE ONE BIG NEED.
I I I DON'T, I DON'T SEE, I DON'T SEE THE, OF IT.
I MEAN, UNLESS SOME, UNLESS, UNLESS SOMEONE ALREADY HAVE A, THEY ALREADY HAVE SOME PRINCIP WE HAVE CERTAIN IDEAS OF WHERE THEY'RE GOING WITH THIS, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, A PRECONCEIVED NOTION THAT I-I-I-I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TERMS OF HAVING BOTH TOGETHER.
THAT'S JUST, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S JUST A STEP WELL TOWARDS GETTING TO, TO DIRECTIONS.
I MEAN, I, I, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA THAT THEY MEET SO YOU CAN GET A FEEL FOR WHAT, WHAT'S AHEAD AND HOW WE AS A BOARD, WE AS A DISTRICT ARE GONNA DEAL WITH WHAT'S AHEAD EVERY, YOU CAN PLAN FOREVER, BUT WE GOT ONE DISTRICT AND ONE DISTRICT HAVE TO ADDRESS THE, ALL OF THE NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT.
SO, I MEAN GETTING, AND THAT, AND THAT'S TRUE, BUT, BUT CERTAIN PEOPLE WOULD GIVE DIFFERENT TOGETHER.
I CAN DON'T COME WITH AN ANSWER TO, TO ANYTHING THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, I MEAN NOTHING IS PRECONCEIVED.
IT'S A EITHER OF GETTING A LITTLE, GETTING AN IDEA OF THE SITUATION.
BOTH, BOTH SIDES LOOKING AT SOME OF THE SITUATIONS, NOTHING'S GONNA BE SOLVED IN THE FIRST MEETING OF A, OF HAD TWO ADD ONC COMMITTEE MEETING.
MEL, I'M GONNA HAVE TO END THIS ZOOM SO THAT THEY CAN OPEN A NEW ONE FOR THE CLOCK.
