          SECOND IN FAVOR. 
          I HAVE A DISCUSSION. 
          I HAVE A, I HAVE A DISCUSSION ACT. 
          ACTUALLY I AM, I'M QUITE TAKEN BACK THAT WE'RE HAVING THIS MEETING TONIGHT BECAUSE AT THE LAST MEETING, LA MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS HAVING A, A TOWN HALL TONIGHT. 
          AND SIC IN, IN TERM IN TERMS OF THE SIC MEETING IN, IN TERMS OF THE, UH, THE NEW LADIES ISLAND RENOVATION. 
          YEAH. 
          THE BUILDING HAD, THE BUILDING HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY FROM WHAT THE COMMUNITY WAS GIVEN ON THE, ON THE BEGINNING HALF. 
          AND MY UNDERSTANDING, I STATED AT THE LAST MEETING, AND I, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MR. IS THAT, UM, MR. ING WAS GOING TO, AND HIS STAFF WAS GOING BE THERE, BE THERE AS WELL TONIGHT TO DISCUSS WHAT THAT, WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE. 
          SO WITH THAT, I, MY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE BOTH WOULD'VE BEEN, THERE WOULD'VE, WOULD'VE BEEN AT THAT MEETING VERSUS THIS MEETING. 
          SO THEREFORE WE, THIS MEETING WOULD EITHER BE ON WEDNESDAY OR THAT MEETING WOULD BE ON WEDNESDAY, AND THIS MEETING WOULD BE ON TUESDAY. 
          BUT, UH, WHEN I, WHEN I MADE MENTION OF IT, HE, UH, HE WAS LIKE, NO, I THINK THAT THE MEETING WAS GOING TO BE NEXT MONTH. 
          AND SO THE NEXT MONTH THAT, THAT WE WOULD, THEN WE WOULD CHANGE, WE WOULD CHANGE OUR MEETING. 
          JUST GO THE NEXT DAY. 
          MR. SMITH. 
          SO AND SO, MR. MR. SMITH, MR. SMITH IS LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL ON THE AGENDA. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ON, ON THE AGENDA. 
          I'M LADIES, I'M, I'M STATING ON THE AGENDA. 
          I'M STATING, I'M STATING, I'M STATING WHY, WHY I, I'M GOING TO, WHY MY VOICE IS GONNA BE, WHAT, WHAT? IT'S SO, I, I HAVE THAT AUTHORITY, I HAVE THAT AUTONOMY IN TERMS OF MY ANSWER OF WHY I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS AGENDA. 
          SO THEREFORE, UH, ACTUALLY AT AS AT THIS POINT IN TIME, YOU, YOU, YOU ARE, YOU ARE REPEATING, UH, ME FROM MAKING MY, MY COMMENTS OF WHY I'M VOTING THE WAY I WHAT TO WAY, THE WAY THE WAY THAT I'M VOTING. 
          I, I'M, I'M NOT STOPPING YOU FROM MAKING YOUR OPINION. 
          OKAY. 
          MAKING YOUR VOICE HEARD. 
          BUT YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER RIGHT NOW. 
          I'M NOT. 
          I'M NOT OUTTA MIDDLE SCHOOL IS NOT ON THE AGENDA. 
          I'M NOT, I'M NOT ORDER. 
          SO YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER. 
          NO, I, NO, I'M, I'M NOT ORDER IF YOU WANT ME TO BE OUTTA ORDER, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, LET ME GO AHEAD AND TAKE, I'M GONNA VOTE NO BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T LIKE IT. 
          BUT MY HONEST, UH, UH, MY HONEST UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT WE WERE NOT GONNA HAVE THIS MEETING THE SAME TIME. 
          AT LEAST I MUST HAVE AN SIC BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US AT CERTAIN TIMES, BOARD MEMBERS TO GO TO ICS REGARD. 
          WE COULD GO TO SAC AND, AND I AM GONNA GO TO THE S IIC MEETING. 
          BUT THE, THE POINT OF THIS IS THAT THIS IS A LARGE AGENDA, AND WE'RE TAKING, WE'RE TAKING UPON A LOT TONIGHT. 
          AND SO THEREFORE, OBVIOUSLY I, I LIKE TO BE AT, AT THESE MEETINGS WHEN WE, WHEN WE DO, DO HAVE THEM. 
          AND SO THEREFORE, I WOULD JUST, I WAS JUST ASKING THAT. 
          AND I ALSO, UNDER THE, ALSO, LEMME SAY THIS, I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT BEING, TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A NEW BUILDING AND HOW, WHAT THAT BUILDING WILL LOOK LIKE, THAT THE BUILDING OR THE PERSON OF CHIEF OF OPERATIONS WOULD BE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TONIGHT. 
          AND APPARENTLY THAT IS NOT TRUE. 
          SO THEREFORE, THAT'S, THAT'S THE SECOND POINT THAT I WANNA BRING UP OF ANOTHER REASON OF WHY, BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING MISLED. 
          SO THEREFORE, NOW YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND YOU CAN CONTINUE YOUR MEETING. 
          BUT, BUT THE WAY, THE WAY YOU DID IT IS, IT'S DEFINITELY, IT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. 
          THAT'S MY OPINION. 
          I'M ENTITLED OF THAT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE, MR. SMITH? NOTHING.

          OKAY. 
          UM, WHAT, UH, IS THERE A REASON WHY THIS, WHY THAT CONVERSATION IS NOT IN THE MINUTES? YOU DON'T PUT THOSE AS WASN'T AN ACTION ITEM. 
          THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. 
          IT WAS NOT MOVED ON. 
          IT WAS A STATEMENT THAT YOU MADE. 
          NO ONE DID ANYTHING ON IT. 
          SO THAT'S WHY. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WELL, WELL, THAT'S JUST WHY THAT, AND IT'S NOTHING. 
          THERE'S NOTHING ON YOU, MS. C, BUT, UH, THE CONVERSATION WAS HAD IN CONVERSATION. 
          UH, I BELIEVE IT, YOU STATED CONVERSATION. 
          YOU, YOU STATED, YOU STATED THAT, YOU STATED THAT YOU ASKED IF THE MEETING COULD BE MOVED TO ANOTHER TIME. 
          THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE HERE. 
          NOPE. 
          THERE WAS NO ACTION TAKEN ON IT. 
          NO ONE MADE A MOTION. 
          NO ONE SECONDED. 
          NO ONE AGREED TO MOVE THE MEETING. 
          SO THERE WAS NO ACTION OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 
          YOU STATED THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO, YOU COULD NOT BE HERE AND BE AT THE LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE, UM, SIC. 
          BUT THAT, THAT WAS, SO YES, YOU DID BRING IT UP, BUT THERE WAS NO ACTION. 
          NO MOTION OR ANYTHING THAT WAS TAKEN ON. 
          AND, AND, AND, AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT, FOR BRINGING THAT, BRINGING THAT, MAKING THAT UP, MAKING THAT CLEARLY. 
          BUT I JUST, I, I JUST, I JUST WOULD LIKE, YOU KNOW, UH, THAT'S WHY BEFORE WE, WE HAD THEM TO ACTUALLY PUT THOSE TYPES OF THINGS IN THE, IN THE MINUTES, IN THE MINUTES MEETING IN THE, IN THE ACTUAL MINUTES OF THE MEETING SO THAT WE COULD KNOW THAT THOSE CONVERSATIONS ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. 
          BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE TAPE RECORD, IT'S MEETING ARE RECORDED. 
          NO, I UNDERSTAND. 
          BUT I'M JUST SAYING IF YOU DON'T, BUT LEMME EXPLAIN LEGALLY, BECAUSE THERE'S NO MOTION AND THERE'S NO ACTION. 
          I DON'T HAVE TO PUT THEM IN THERE. 
          BUT THAT'S WHY WE DO RERECORD THE MEETING. 
          THAT'S WHY WE HAVE IT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT. 
          THEY CAN GET VERBATIM OF WHAT WAS WHAT IS DATED. 
          RIGHT? I I DO, I DO, I DO UNDERSTAND. 
          BUT, BUT IN, IN, IN THE PAST, WE HAD RECORDED ALL WE HAVE. 
          OKAY, WELL, THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT MY, WHAT, WHAT MY RECOLLECTION OF IT IS. 
          AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT PERFECT. 
          BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT MY RECOLLECTION OF, OF IT'S, UM, SO I, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. 
          BUT NOW, I, I THOUGHT, AND THE REASON WHY I DIDN'T TAKE ACTION IS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WE ALL WERE ON THE SAME, ON THE SAME ACCORD, THE SAME WAY HOW SOMETIMES WE ASK, WE MAY ASK A STAFF MEMBER, DO YOU HAVE IT? THEY SAY, IF THEY HAVE IT, THEN IF YOU HAVE IT, THEN WE DON'T NEED TO TAKE ACTION. 
          'CAUSE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          SO MY, SO MY, UH, UNDERSTANDING WHEN I LEFT THE MEETING THAT WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO ACTION THAT NEED TO BE TAKING PLACE RESPECTFULLY.

          WHAT'S THE JOB OF THE CHAIR? AND AND WHAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO DO IS SUBVERT THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE AND TAKE OVER THE COMMITTEE MEETING. 
          I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I JUST MADE A MOTION AND YOU STOPPED ME FROM MAKING A MOTION. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

          AS IF OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU AS THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          WE'RE GOOD, MARK. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          MR. STEVE ANDREWS, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL GIVE YOU MY SEAT HERE NEXT TO MIKE. 
          UM, THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT A COUPLE, I MEAN, DO, YEAH. 
          YOU CAN COME IN HERE. 
          UM, THIS IS ONE YOU SHOULD ALL BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH, RIGHT? W WK. 
          UM, THE LAST TIME WE MET, UH, THEY BROUGHT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UH, AND AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NOT A DEVELOPER ON BOARD KNOWN. 
          THERE WAS SOME REQUESTS, I BELIEVE, FOR, UM, SOME CONSIDERATION BEING GIVEN TO, UH, TEACHERS OF BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AS FAR AS THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. 
          AND WITH THAT, I'LL SET YOU UP. 
          UH, AND CAN YOU BRING, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, UM, MAYBE BRING THE SITE PLAN UP? SURE. 
          EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH IT. 
          WE'VE SEEN IT A LOT. 
          I'LL HAND IT OVER TO YOU, STEVE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, STEVE ANDREWS REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNER. 
          AND, AND AS ROBERT POINTED OUT, WE'VE BEEN HERE SEVERAL TIMES, SO I DO APPRECIATE Y'ALL BEARING WITH US, AND WE'RE MAKING FORWARD PROGRESS. 
          THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE FOR THIS COMMITTEE, AND THEN THERE WAS A SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATION AT THE BOARD MEETING. 
          I WAS UNAWARE AT THE BOARD MEETING. 
          I APOLOGIZED. 
          I WASN'T THERE, BUT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH THE VIDEO AND SEE WHAT YOUR COMMENTS WERE. 
          AND THE ASK WAS TO MAKE CONCESSIONS TO, FOR THE EASEMENT MYSELF. 
          AND, AND THE DEVELOPER HAD A CONFERENCE CALL WITH BRADLEY TERRANCE, AND THIS IS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. 
          AT THAT TIME, HE WAS THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF HE STILL IS THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL. 
          AND, AND WE HAD INPUT FROM HIM. 
          AND THAT'S THE LIST THAT WE INCLUDED FOR Y'ALL TO SEE TONIGHT, UH, CAME FROM THAT CONVERSATION. 
          SO THE ASK IS, UM, AMBROSE RUN, IT GOES EAST TO WEST HORIZONTAL AS WE'RE LOOKING AT IT ON THE WESTERN END, CONNECTS TO WK AUSTIN. 
          AND THERE'S A STRIP OF SCHOOL PROPERTY BETWEEN WK AUSTIN AND THE APARTMENT SITE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO CROSS. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE EASEMENT THAT WE NEED. 
          IN PREVIOUS VISITS BEFORE Y'ALL, THERE WAS A NEED TO CONNECT THE WATERLINE, AND Y'ALL AGREED TO ALLOW THAT WATERLINE CONNECTION IN, IN THE FOREST MAIN. 
          SO NOW WE'RE ASKING FOR THE ROAD CONNECTION. 
          WE SAID WE WOULD GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND ASK OF THEM, ALONG WITH THE TRAFFIC STUDY, IF THE TURN LANE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE SCHOOL WERE WARRANTED. 
          AND IF YOU'RE SOUTHBOUND ON WK AUSTIN, HEADING FROM BROAD RIVER TO ONE 70, YOU WOULD MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE SCHOOL DRIVEWAY. 
          THAT RIGHT TURN LANE IS WARRANTED BY DOT STANDARDS. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE THE, THE NUMBER ONE OFFER IS THAT, IS A NEED FOR THE SCHOOL. 
          IT BENEFITS THE SCHOOL. 
          THE DEVELOPER WOULD DESIGN, PERMIT AND CONSTRUCT THAT TURN LANE IMPROVEMENT. 
          IN THE CONVERSATION WITH, UH, MR. TERRANCE, WE ASKED ABOUT THE EXISTING APARTMENT COMPLEX, WHICH IS TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE SCHOOL. 
          WHAT KIND OF TEACHER OCCUPANCY WAS HE EXPERIENCING THERE? AND, AND AT THAT TIME OF OUR CONVERSATION, THERE WAS ONE TEACHER THERE. 
          UM, WE TALKED AROUND NUMBERS, NOTHING CONCRETE THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE TO OFFER US A SPECIFIC NUMBER HE NEEDED. 
          SO THE, THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAME UP WITH WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. 
          SO THE OFFER WOULD BE ALLOCATE UP TO 15 OF THE APARTMENT UNITS AT A 20% DISCOUNT ON THE MARKET RATE FOR RENT. 
          ANY, ANYONE WHO WORKS IN THE SCHOOL HAS PRIORITY POSITION. 
          SO NOT, NOT JUST THIS SCHOOL, BUT THE SCHOOL. 
          SO BE IT A TEACHER, 
          [00:20:01]
BE IT ADMINISTRATOR, BE IT STAFF, A SUPPORT PERSONNEL. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING EXPERIENCED BY, UM, ROBERT SMALL SCHOOL IS PEOPLE FROM THE BATTERY CREEK APARTMENTS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AT, AT WALMART. 
          SO ALONG WITH THE AMBROSE RUN IMPROVEMENTS, THERE WOULD BE SIDEWALKS, PEDESTRIAN WASTE, BICYCLE SIDEWALKS THAT WOULD LET YOU TRAVEL ALONG THE SIDEWALK CROSS AT THIS INTERSECTION THAN GET ONTO SCHOOL PROPERTY. 
          SO MAKE IT EASIER FOR, UM, STUDENTS THAT WOULD BE LIVING IN THE APARTMENTS AND, AND GETTING TO THE SCHOOL. 
          THE THE OTHER THING THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE PRINCIPAL IS IN CASE OF SOME TYPE OF EMERGENCY THERE, THERE'S A NEED FOR A REUNIFICATION. 
          AND SO THE, THE ONE THAT COULD BE DESIGNATED AT A SPOT ON THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. 
          AND THEN ANOTHER THING THAT THE PRINCIPAL MENTIONED IS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THERE ARE FUNDRAISERS, COLLECTIONS THAT ARE MADE FOR THE SCHOOL, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, CLOTHES, UH, AN ASSORTMENT THAT Y'ALL ARE MORE FAMILIAR WITH MYSELF. 
          BUT A, A DROP OFF A DONATION LOCATION COULD BE PROVIDED ON THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT THE OFFER IS TO THE SCHOOL TO, UM, GET COOPERATION IN THE GRANTING OF THAT EASEMENT. 
          20 APARTMENTS, 15% OFFER 15. 
          YEAH. 
          15. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THANK YOU. 
          CLARIFY, AND THEN, UH, A UNIFICATION SITE. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND, UM, DROP OFF. 
          DROP OFF FOR DONATIONS AND SIDEWALKS TO AND SIDEWALKS TRAVEL EASTERN WEST. 
          HOW MANY APARTMENTS IS DEDICATED TO 15 TO 20%? N NO, IT, UM, I DIDN'T HEAR THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          SO NO, THAT IS, THAT IS A GOOD, SO IT'S THE, THE APARTMENTS, THE NUMBER OF UNITS IS A HARD 15. 
          SO IT'S 15 APARTMENT UNITS, AND THEN 20% DISCOUNT ON MARKET RATE. 
          WHAT, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED ON A ASNE BASIS IS THE, THE TEACHER'S NEEDS, IS IT? OR, OR THE STAFF? AGAIN, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT JUST TEACHERS. 
          IT'D BE FIRST ON THE SCHOOL EMPLOYEES, WHEREVER THEY FIT IN THE SPECTRUM. 
          IS IT, IS IT A FAMILY? SO WOULD THEY NEED A, A MULTI BEDROOM OR IS IT A SINGLE TEACHER THAT WOULD NEED A, A ONE BEDROOM? SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S 15 UNITS, UNITS, 20% DISCOUNT ON MARKET RATE. 
          WHAT SIZE UNIT TO BE DETERMINED OF THE NEED OF THE SCHOOL PERSONNEL? GOOD QUESTION. 
          HOW, HOW MANY TOTAL, HOW MANY TOTAL, HOW MANY TOTAL UNITS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX? I, I'M GONNA ANSWER THE QUESTION, BUT LET ME PREFACE IT BY THERE. 
          THE, THIS IS THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO IS NOT GONNA DEVELOP, HE, HE'S GONNA SELL IT TO A DEVELOPER. 
          SO WE, WE, THAT, THAT QUESTION OR, OR THAT ANSWER DOESN'T EXIST TODAY. 
          WE HAVE DONE PREVIOUS DESIGNS, AND THE PREVIOUS DESIGN WAS AROUND 500 TOTAL UNITS. 
          UM, THAT SEEMS TO BE A TOO BIG OF A PRESSURE POINT. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE SCALED BACK MAYBE IN THE THREE 80 UNIT, IS PROBABLY WHERE THIS END UP AT WITH THE MIX OF APARTMENTS AND TOWN HOMES. 
          THAT'S SORT OF WHAT THE CURRENT PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING AT THE LAND ARE CONTEMPLATING. 
          SO IT'S STILL NOT A FIXED NUMBER. 
          SO WHEN THE DEVELOPER SELLS IT TO THE CONTRACTOR, UH, THE TERMS ARE GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE OF THE DEVELOPER TO THE, WE CAN TIE IT TO THE EASEMENT AND TO THE PROPERTY REQUIRING IT TO STAY IN PERPETUITY, BASICALLY FOR WHOEVER OWNS IT. 
          CORRECT? YES. 
          THAT, THAT, THAT'S THE, AND, AND SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, IT'S, IT'S, THE DEVELOPER IS UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW. 
          IT'S THE PROPERTY OWNER. 
          THE PROPERTY OWNER TO THE DEVELOPER. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND SO THE PROPERTY OWNER IS IN AGREEMENT TO EXECUTE THIS EASEMENT. 
          NOW, THE LEGAL DOCUMENT WOULD INCLUDE THESE TERMS OF EVERYBODY'S SATISFACTION. 
          SO THEY WOULD BE BOUND TO THE PROPERTY. 
          GOTCHA. 
          MS. SMITH, UM, THE, THE THE POINT YOU JUST WROTE OFF, UH, DO WE HAVE, WE DON'T, IS THAT, IS THAT IN THIS PACKET? I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS INCLUDED. 
          SO IT'S NOT IN THEIR, OKAY. 
          UM, AND THE, AND THE REASON WHY I WILL SAY THAT IS BECAUSE I JUST GOTTA SAY THIS PUBLICLY, UM, WHAT WAS JUST READ OFF TO US MM-HMM. 
          ABOUT THE 15 
          [00:25:01]
APARTMENTS, THE, UH, 20% DISCOUNT, THE, UM, THE GOING BACK TO, UH, FOR, FOR THE EMERGENCY SPACE FROM SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTAND THIS LINE OF BUSINESS, THAT'S, DANG THERE LAUGHABLE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          THAT IS A DISGRACE. 
          THAT THAT'S WHAT Y'ALL ALREADY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE TODAY. 
          TO ME. 
          JUST, JUST, JUST, JUST TO BE QUITE HONEST, I MEAN, JUST, JUST TO, YOU KNOW, THE DAYS IS KIND OF NO BREAKS DAY LIKE THAT. 
          THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE NOT THINGS, I MEAN, THE 15 APARTMENTS, THAT, THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, TO SAY OKAY. 
          THAT THAT'S A START OF A CONVERSATION. 
          BUT THOSE OTHER THINGS, WE, WE HAVE A SCHOOL LIKE, LIKE THAT'S NOT EVEN WITHIN A, A QUARTER OF A MILE. 
          WE CAN, WE CAN, WE CAN GET STU WE GET STUDENTS TOO, BUT I, I, I SHOULDN'T EVEN WANNA I SHOULDN'T EVEN SAY THAT. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF THAT'S, THAT'S THE RE THE REFERENCE, UH, THE, THE, WHERE WE GONNA MOVE STUDENTS AT, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT THAT'S CONVERSATION WOULD NEED TO BE BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THEM. 
          AND I, I, I DON'T SEE MRS. UM, MRS. UH, WHAT, WHAT'S HER NAME? MRS. UM, HENDERSON, MS. HENDERSON AT THE TABLE TO EVEN SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S EVEN WORKABLE. 
          SO I WILL GIVE YOU CREDIT. 
          I APPRECIATE THE START OF THE CONVERSATION, BUT THE REAL RESULTS OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, NOTHING, NOTHING HAS REALLY, HAS REALLY CHANGED IN TERMS OF WANTING TO SAY YES. 
          I'M, I'M WILLING TO SAY THAT Y'ALL ARE GIVING US SOMETHING. 
          I JUST, I JUST, YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, UH, IN, IN TERMS OF BEEN GOING TO COUNTY COUNCIL MEETINGS, IN TERMS OF LISTENING TO THE GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY, WANTING TO STOP OUR GROWTH. 
          SAY THAT TO SAY THAT WE ARE WILLING TO, UH, GIVE YOU, GIVE, GIVE YOU AN EASEMENT, AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR EASEMENTS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. 
          I, AS A BOARD MEMBER, RESPECTFULLY, I, I, I, I, I COULDN'T, I COULDN'T GO ALONG WITH IT, BUT I WILL, I'LL DO THANK YOU FOR, UH, FOR, FOR HAVING THE CONVERSATION WITH MR. TERRANCE. 
          BUT, UM, ALSO I THINK THAT, THAT, THAT CON THE CONVERSATION NEEDS TO, UH, TAKE PLACE. 
          AND I, I'M SURE MR. TERRANCE IS WELCOME TO THIS, TO, TO THIS, UH, COMMITTEE MEETING AS WELL, TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO, WHERE, WHERE THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO, UH, HAVE AND HOW, AND HOW, AND HOW. 
          WE SAID, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE BOARD, LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT SOME OF US THAT JUST STATED THAT WERE CLEAR INDICATORS OF, OF OUR, OF OUR CONCERN IN THAT THINGS THAT, THAT WE WANTED. 
          AND I KIND OF DIDN'T REALLY HEAR TOO MUCH OF. 
          WELL, SO TOO, I, I DIDN'T HEAR ENOUGH ENOUGH OF, OF THAT HAPPENING IN THE ACTUAL CONTRACTORS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I GOT HIM. 
          UM, AND, AND IN MY COMMUNITY, THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A GUY WHO SAID THAT HE, THAT HE WAS GOING TO BUILD HOUSES IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          HE BUILT A HOLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND HE WAS GONNA SELL IT TO ANOTHER CONTRACT. 
          SO THEY TOOK THE DIRT OUT OF THE COMMUNITY AND LEFT THE COMMUNITY WITH A HOLE IN THE COMMUNITY THE SIZE OF THAT COULD POSSIBLY PUT THIS BUILDING IN IS IN MY COMMUNITY. 
          AND, AND NOW, NOW THEY HAVE A FENCE OFF. 
          HIS KIDS COULD GO TO THAT. 
          AND THEY SAID, WELL, WELL, WE WEREN'T GONNA DO THAT. 
          AND SO THEN WHAT HAPPENED WAS HE SAID HE WASN'T GONNA DO THAT. 
          HE SOLD IT TO ANOTHER CONTRACTOR. 
          IT'S STILL, THAT HOLD IS STILL IN MY COMMUNITY. 
          SO BECAUSE OF THAT, TO GIVE YOU, TO GIVE YOU SOME, PUT SOME TEETH IN WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU NOT ACTUALLY HAVING THE ACTUAL CONTACT, WHO'S GONNA DO THIS AND HOW IT COULD BE FLIPPED. 
          IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR US TO FOSTER US TO ENTER AN AGREEMENT WITH YOU. 
          WHAT, WHAT, WHAT'S, WHAT'S PROPOSED TODAY IN FRONT OF ME. 
          I'LL JUST LEAVE IT THERE. 
          RESPECTFULLY. 
          I THANK YOU THOUGH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WELL, THOSE ARE GOOD COMMENTS AND I APPRECIATE IT. 
          I, I DIDN'T COME HERE TONIGHT TO THINK WE WERE GONNA GET APPROVED. 
          LIKE WE, WE, THIS HAS BEEN A JOURNEY. 
          AND, AND SO WE HAVE LISTENED, WE GOT SOME INPUT FROM THIS GROUP, AND THEN AS I'LL WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE CO THE, THE BOARD MEMBER. 
          AND, AND THAT'S WHAT SENT US TO, TO TALK TO THE PRINCIPAL, TO, TO GET SOME BOOTS ON THE GROUND. 
          LITTLE, LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC. 
          WE, WE WENT, A TEST CASE WAS WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE APARTMENTS NEXT DOOR? HOW MANY, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING IT IN ONE TEACHER? SO WHAT THE QUESTION WAS ASKED, WHERE ARE THE OTHER TEACHERS AT IN THIS AREA? THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER APARTMENTS AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT USING THOSE. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE THE 15 CAME UP. 
          THERE SEEMED TO BE A LIMITED NEED FOR IT. 
          THAT'S WHY WE SAID, WELL, LET'S, LET'S DON'T LIMIT THIS TO TEACHERS. 
          THE PURPOSE IS TO HELP BENEFIT THE STUDENTS. 
          THEY NEED THE ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, AND ALL THE OTHER STAFF AT THE SCHOOL. 
          UM, AND, AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IT. 
          IT IS A LITTLE UNKNOWN BECAUSE WE GOT A LANDOWNER, NOT THE DEVELOPER TO, TO HELP PROTECT YOU. 
          YOUR POINTS THAT YOU JUST MADE IS, ROBERT SAID IT'S GONNA BE BOUND TO THE EASEMENT. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE TIED TO THE LAND. 
          SO IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO GETS WHO PURCHASE IT, WHAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THEY DO. 
          YOU KNOW, APARTMENTS, TOWN HOMES, STICK BUILT HOUSES, SINGLE FAMILY LOT. 
          THEY HAVE TO SET 15 OF THEM ASIDE. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S GONNA BE TIED TO THE LAND. 
          SO THERE, THERE 
          [00:30:01]
CANNOT BE A, A BAIT AND SWITCH. 
          WHAT YOU WERE EXPLAINING, YOU EXPERIENCED THE, THE, THERE'S EFFORTS THAT'S BEEN MADE BY THE PROPERTY OWNER TO GET THE TRAFFIC STUDY DONE, TO HAVE US WORK WITH Y'ALL. 
          HE'S WILLING TO GO CONTINUE DOWN THAT ROAD. 
          AND SO THE ENGINEERING AND THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS OF THAT TURN LANE IS ON THE MAGNITUDE OF $500,000. 
          AND THERE'S, UH, SOME WETLANDS THAT HAVE TO BE CROSSED. 
          SO THERE'S MITIGATION COSTS THAT ARE GONNA MEASURE IN SIX FIGURE NUMBERS. 
          SO IT'S, IT MAY NOT BE THE MILLION YOU TALKED ABOUT, BUT IT'S, IT'S GONNA BE PUSHING CLOSE TO THAT. 
          SO THERE IS A FINANCIAL BENEFIT THAT THE SCHOOL GETS. 
          'CAUSE HIS RIGHT TURN LANE IS HELPS THE SCHOOL. 
          IT, IT'S NOT HELPING THE DEVELOPER DIRECTLY AS FAR AS HIS TRAFFIC GOES. 
          AND I GET IT'S A CONCESSION THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE TO GET TO THE EASEMENT. 
          SO I'M, I'M GREAT TO HAVE FEEDBACK AND FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO WITH THIS. 
          WE'RE, WE'RE CLOSE. 
          WE MISSED IT BY A MILE. 
          UM, IF WE NEED TO RECONVENE WITH, UM, BRADLEY, TERRENCE, THE PRINCIPAL, I'M FINE TO GO BACK AND TRY THAT AGAIN. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          SO WE'RE NOT COMING. 
          THIS IS IT IRONCLAD TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. 
          VOTE IT. 
          I VOTED IT DOWN. 
          THIS IS JUST, HEY, THIS IS A STARTING POINT TO, TO A CONVERSATION. 
          SO IF Y'ALL GOT SPECIFICS TO FEEDBACK, THEN I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, BUT I'LL TAKE IT BACK TO HIM AND HAVE A CONVERSATION. 
          THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT WANNA PURCHASE THE LAND UNLESS HE HAS THE EASEMENT. 
          YES. 
          SO THERE, THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS FROM THIS COUNTY AND THE CITY AND THE STATE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT CONNECTIVITY. 
          OKAY? THERE ARE OPTIONS TO PROCEED WITHOUT THE CONNECTIVITY, BUT THEY AREN'T REALLY GOOD FOR THE WHOLE GROUP. 
          IT, IT DOESN'T GET THE IMPROVEMENTS MADE WHERE THE TRAFFIC IMPACT'S GONNA BE. 
          SO IT'S, THIS SEEMS TO BE THE BEST LOCATION FOR EVERYBODY, THE DEVELOPER IN THE SCHOOL. 
          SO YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BEFORE THIS PROJECT MOVES FORWARD, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE EASEMENT IN PLACE. 
          THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TONIGHT, REPRESENTING THE OWNER BEFORE HE HAS A DEVELOPER TO PURCHASE IT. 
          YES, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS IN PLACE IN THE FORM OF AN EASEMENT THAT WOULD HAVE ALL THESE CONDITIONS IN IT, THAT THE DEVELOPMENT COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT THESE BEING COMPLETED. 
          NO. 
          WHAT DO YOU, SORRY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? OH, WHAT, SURE, IT'S ONLINE, BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE HER HAND UP. 
          UM, WHAT WOULD BE THE, THE, THE MARKET VALUE OF THE EASEMENT, IF IT WASN'T THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, IF IT WAS PRIVATE LANDOWNER. 
          PRIVATE LANDOWNER, WHAT WOULD BE THE MARKET VALUE OF THAT EASEMENT? LIKE, I, I DON'T KNOW. 
          THAT'S, I SAY YOU MEAN THAT'S HOW TAR TOUGH TO JUDGE. 
          IT'S WHATEVER IT WILL GO FOR. 
          MM-HMM . 
          I MEAN, WHEN WE'VE TRIED TO DO COMPS ON EASEMENTS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT, WE'VE ASKED SARAH ROBERTSON TO KINDA LOOK IN, INTO IT FOR US. 
          AND IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY THIS EASEMENT IS WORTH THAT. 
          IT'S WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL BEAR. 
          IT'S KIND OF WHAT HER ANSWER WOULD BE HAS BEEN TO ME IN THE PAST. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I, I, I THINK 'CAUSE AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE ONLY OTHER THING, UH, THAT, UH, YOU'VE, YOU'VE DONE THE TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH WAS, WHICH IS WHAT I ASKED OF YOU, CORRECT. 
          UH, YOU AGREED TO DO THE, THE, THE, THE TURN LANE. 
          UM, 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY REVEALED. 
          UH, NOW YOU'VE ALSO, UH, AGREED TO, FOR THE UNIFICATION SITE, YOU AGREED FOR DONATION SITE SIDEWALKS, UH, CROSSING, CROSSING, UH, WHATEVER. 
          UM, SO, UM, ABOUT THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I CAN THINK OF IS MAYBE, UM, A PERCENTAGE, UH, UH, LIKE A, A CASH VALUE OF THE PERCENTAGE. 
          I WOULDN'T EVEN SAY A HUNDRED PERCENT, BUT MAYBE 50 OR 25% OR 30, I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER. 
          OR, UH, 40% OF WHAT THE, THE FAIR MACRO VALUE WAS AS ALSO A, A CASH, UM, OR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE, OH, UH, UH, I'M JUST ONE MORE POINT OUT THERE. 
          UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I, AT THIS POINT, I, YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT, UH, THE, THE COMMITTEE HAS ASKED, UH, IS IF THAT IS, UH, GOING TO BE TIED. 
          THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS, UM, FOR THAT, WHAT YOU, THE PRO THE, THE POINTS THAT YOU BROUGHT TO US NEED TO COME BACK IN WRITING. 
          UM, BUT UH, AT THIS POINT, I'D BE WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE A VOTE TO MOVE IT TO THE FULL BOARD AS LONG AS, WELL THE POINTS THAT YOU BROUGHT ARE IN FULL WRITING OR ARE IN WRITING. 
          UM, AND THEN, THEN THE FULL BOARD CAN DECIDE ON THAT. 
          IF I COULD ADD ONE MORE THING, BECAUSE I KNOW ONE THING THAT'S KIND OF, YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT THAT 
          [00:35:01]
, SORRY, BECAUSE, UH, MS. BOATWRIGHT BROUGHT UP THE, UH, CONDITION OF TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES, SPEED HUMPS OR SOMETHING TO SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN ON AMBROSE. 
          OH YEAH. 
          I FORGOT WHAT, SO I WOULD SAY THAT THAT WOULD BE ONE MORE CONDITION THAT WAS ASKED. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE ANY ISSUE FOR YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE ALONG AMBROSE. 
          YEAH. 
          OR WHATEVER THAT ROAD IS RIGHT THERE. 
          AND IT COULD BE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          A LOT OF TIMES YOU DO PAVERS WITH TREE ISLAND, JUST SOMETHING TO SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC ON AROSE. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN I JUST, WE HAVE, UM, TRANSPORTATION IN THE BUILDING AND UM, I THINK A LOT OF IT'S GONNA HAVE GONNA AFFECT, UM, SCHOOL BUSES AND STUFF. 
          AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THEY HAD ANY KIND OF, UM, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY KIND OF INPUT ON THAT TRANSPORTATION? I THINK THE, I THINK THAT THE SCHOOL BUS INLET IS FURTHER NORTH, RIGHT? MM-HMM . 
          WELL TO ROBERT SMALLS, THAT WOULD ALL BE WITHIN A WALK ZONE. 
          SO YOU WOULD BE ACROSS, 'CAUSE YOU WOULD JUST CROSS THE STREET. 
          NOW WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE CROSSING GUARDS OR THINKING OF SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. 
          NOW YOU WOULD HAVE BUSES THAT WOULD GO TO BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL OR, OR THINGS OR, UM, BUT ROBERT SMALLS ITSELF, YOU WOULD BE WALKING FROM THE APARTMENT RIGHT ACROSS WK AND I'M, WELL, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT THE BUSES THAT COME IN THERE FROM A RIGHT THING FROM THE OTHER ROUTES, NOT JUST THE APARTMENT. 
          I UNDERSTAND THE WALK ZONE. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER BUSES THAT COME IN THERE. 
          WOULD IT AFFECT TRANSPORTATION? WOULD IT AFFECT THE BUS TRANSPORTATION COMING IN THERE? NOT, NOT FROM THE APARTMENT COMPLEX, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND IT'S A WALK ZONE NOW. 
          NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS IN THE PAST, OF COURSE, TRAFFIC BACKED UP WELL IN, IN THE OLD ROBERT SMALL CONFIGURATION, UM, TRAFFIC BACKED UP ONTO WK AUSTIN AND THAT WAS A REAL PROBLEM. 
          YEAH. 
          NOW, AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, I DON'T KNOW, DOES TRAFFIC BACK UP ONTO THE WK AUSTIN, AS FAR AS YOU'RE AWARE AT ANY TIMES? IT DOES, IT DOES STILL BACK UP THE PARENT DROP OFF. 
          SO THAT WOULD IMPACT, AND THE RIGHT TURN LANE WOULD HELP THAT, BY THE WAY. 
          SO WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS THAT RIGHT TURN LANE WOULD BE INTO THE PARENT DROP OFF. 
          SO FOR AT LEAST THE LENGTH OF THE RIGHT TURN LANE TRAFFIC, IF, IF THEY GO FORWARD THERE, THOSE PARENTS WOULD STACK IN THE TURN LANE INSTEAD OF BEING ON WK AUSTIN. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE THOSE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A BENEFIT TO US. 
          BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T, SO IF WE'RE, IF WE'RE STACKING UP ONTO WK AUSTIN TODAY YEAH. 
          THE, AND I DON'T DO YOU KNOW THE DISTANCE OF THE RIGHT TURN LANE? I WAS JUST GONNA ASK ABOUT WHAT THE QUEUE LENGTH WOULD BE AND MAYBE US BEING ABLE TO HAVE A VOICE IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE LENGTH OF THE, SO NOT EXACTLY, NOT DIRECTLY. 
          Y'ALL ASKED US TO DO THE TRAFFIC STUDY, RIGHT? THE TRAFFIC STUDY OCCURRED AFTER THESE IMPROVEMENTS MADE. 
          LIKE THIS IS IN REAL TIME. 
          LIKE WE DID THIS, ALL THIS IS HAPPENING THIS YEAR. 
          UM, SO THE TRAFFIC COUNTS, THE OBSERVATIONS FOR WHAT'S TODAY, AND THEN THAT SET THE WARRANT FOR THE TURN LANE. 
          SO THAT'S BEEN FACTORED IN THERE. 
          SO IT, IT SHOULD ACCOMMODATE TO, TO WHATEVER TRAFFIC STANDARDS TO GET THAT, PULL THAT TRAFFIC OFF THE ROAD. 
          SO, SO YOU'VE HAD YOUR SAY IF YOU WILL, RIGHT. 
          THAT THAT WAS THE FIRST ASK, WHICH LED THEN TO THE DESIGN, WHICH CONSIDERED ALL OF THAT INFORMATION. 
          SO THE TURN LANE IS TO SUPPORT THAT DRIVEWAY. 
          ITS DESIGN INTENT IS TO PULL THOSE PEOPLE OFF AND GIVE THEM STORAGE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE BACKUP, KEEP THE FREE MOVEMENT ON WK COMING FROM BROAD RIVER TO ONE 70. 
          BUT WE, WE DID ASK ABOUT THE LEFT AND I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS NOT WARRANTED. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO WHAT YOU GOTTA REALIZE IS THAT ROAD IS A DOT ROAD. 
          SO THEY HAVE JURISDICTION ON IT. 
          SO WE DID ASK THEM TO LOOK INTO THAT. 
          THEY LOOKED INTO THAT. 
          DOT SAID, NO, YOU CANNOT PUT A LEFT TURN LANE THERE BASED ON THE TRAFFIC. 
          WOW. 
          UN UNDER THE CURRENT CONDITIONS, WHICH IN CHANGE OVER TIME. 
          BUT THEY DID ALLOW THE RIGHT HAND TURN. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD GET TRAFFIC. 
          YOU'D BE ABLE TO GET TRAFFIC OFF THE ROAD COMING FROM THE BROAD RIVERSIDE. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE COMING FROM ONE 70, RIGHT. 
          UM, THAT IF THAT'S THE CASE, THAT WOULD STILL BE A PROBLEM. 
          DO YOU KNOW WHICH SIDE THAT WOULD BE PROBLEM TO BOTH SIDES. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          YEAH. 
          I USED TO DRIVE THAT ROAD, BOTH SIDES WAY TURN LEFT. 
          YEAH. 
          OFF, UH, THE NORTHBOUND LANE WAITING TO TURN LEFT GETS STACKED UP TOO. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT MAY HA THAT IS SUCH A LONG STACKING LANE. 
          THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS THAT SCHOOL CAN DO TO SPEED THAT UP. 
          UM, SO A LOT OF TIMES IT'S, UH, IT COULD BE HANDLED UNDER THE WAY THAT, 
          [00:40:01]
UH, THAT MANAGEMENT IS, IS DOING ALL THE STUDENT LOADING, BECAUSE THAT'S A LONG DROP OFF. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          BUT, UH, DOES IT BACK UP ON THE BUS DRIVE? THE BACKUP ON THE CAR RIDER SIDE SOMETIMES DOESN'T AFFECT, I MEAN, IT DOESN'T ALLOW BUSES TO GET AROUND IT, I GUESS. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, CODY, YOU HAVE ANYTHING? YOU'RE DONE MR. SMITH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, FIRST OF FOREMOST, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU SAID THAT WE ACTUALLY TO DO THE, UH, THE TRAFFIC STUDY. 
          UH, I DON'T THINK THAT WE TOOK A, UH, THAT, THAT THIS BOARD OPERATIONS COMMITTEE ACTUALLY DO A TRAFFIC STUDY. 
          I THINK TRAFFIC STUDY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD TO DO IF YOU WANNA BRING THIS PROJECT, IT'S THIS, UM, THIS, UH, PROJECT, UH, TO FRUITION. 
          SO WHEN YOU SAY THAT WE NO, WE AIN'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. 
          AND, AND I, I WANNA GET THAT CLEAR BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD YOU SAY THAT. 
          SO THAT, THAT WAS NOT AN ASKED BY US. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAD TO DO TO HELP MOVE OUR PROJECT. 
          MM. 
          SO I WISH THAT YOU WOULD, UH, RESPECTFULLY STOP SAYING THAT WE, THAT, THAT WE, UH, THAT THAT, WELL, I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T REMEMBER US ACTUALLY DEVOTING ON IT AND SAYING THAT WE, THAT WE NEED TO, UH, UH, A, UM, A, A STUDY. 
          AND, AND, AND THE SECOND THING IS, I'LL GO BACK TO, UH, WHAT I SAID, UH, PRIOR TO THIS IN TERMS OF THE EMERGE, UH, TALKING ABOUT MAKING THAT A, UM, A, UH, A PUTTING, TAKING THOSE STUDENTS OVER THERE, UH, THAT, THAT LIST THAT YOU, THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF THAT, IN FRONT OF YOU ARE, I DON'T THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE THINGS THAT OUR TAXPAYERS WOULD BE, UM, HAPPY WITH US. 
          AND ONCE AGAIN, ALSO, WE DON'T KNOW IF ALL THOSE THINGS ARE, ARE EVEN CONDUCIVE TO, TO BEING, TO BEING DONE WHEN ONCE AGAIN, WE'RE NOT HAVING THE EMERGENCY PERSON HERE. 
          SO I DON'T SEE HOW, HOW HE, HOW, OR HOW THIS BOARD CAN SAY, OH, WE WOULD BE GLADLY TO ACCEPT THAT. 
          AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT WE, THAT WE COULD EVEN, THAT COULD EVEN BE DONE. 
          SO, UM, I I I, I JUST, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. 
          I FEEL, I FEEL THAT THERE'S, THAT, THAT THAT LIST AND WHAT, WHAT, WHAT WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED IS A BUNCH OF BALONEY. 
          UM, AND I'M GONNA BE STRAIGHT UP WITH IT. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS DEAL IS COMING FROM, BUT IT, AND, AND IT, I DON'T THINK I, I DON'T THINK THAT THE, THE, THE, THE TRUTH OF THE DEAL IS BEING REALLY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. 
          BECAUSE IF HE REALLY WANTS TO BE, UH, UH, IF THE DEVELOPER REALLY WANTED TO BE TRUTHFUL, HE CAN COME IN HIMSELF TOO AS WELL, BECAUSE WE HAVE OTHER, WE HAVE OTHER, OTHER, OTHER PROJECTS WHERE, WHERE, WHERE, WHERE WE'VE, WHERE WE'VE, WE'VE SEEN THAT. 
          AND I, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT TO SAY THAT YOU, WE ARE POSSIBLY SELLING IT TO ANYBODY. 
          YEAH. 
          I CAN COME BACK, I CAN COME, I COULD COME UP TO, TO, TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SAY, HEY, LOOK HERE. 
          HEY, I WANNA, I WANNA DO BUSINESS WITH Y'ALL, BUT KNOWING THAT I'M GONNA SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE OR SOMEONE ELSE, IT IS A HARD SUBJECT BECAUSE OF THERE, THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT IN THE, IN THAT WORLD THAT ARE, ARE, I WOULD CALL GO PASS. 
          SO THEREFORE YOU GET UP TO A CERTAIN POINT, YOU CAN'T GO PAST IT BECAUSE THERE, THERE, THERE, THERE'S SOMETHING THERE. 
          AND, AND I BELIEVE THAT, THAT THERE IS SOMETHING HERE, AND THE GO PASS IT AT THIS TIME IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ONE, AND ONCE WE GET THAT THE DEVELOPER OUT HERE, MAYBE HE'S GONNA MAKE A TON OF, A TON OF A TON OF MONEY. 
          AND WE'RE NOT, AND WE'RE NOT REALLY, WE, WE WOULD REALLY HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYTHING OUT OF IT. 
          AND SO FOR ME, THIS IS REAL TROUBLESOME IN TERMS OF UTILIZATION OF TAXPAYERS MONEY AND UH, AND, AND TO TAXPAYERS LAND. 
          SO I I AND I, AND I AM, I AM GOING TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT, THAT I, THIS WILL BE A GRAVE MISTAKE ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT IF WE DO THAT. 
          AND WE HAVE NOT COME, COME, WE HAVE NOT CONVEYED WITH OUR STAFF JUST ONE PERSON IN TERMS OF THE, THE, UH, CHIEF OF OPERATIONS AND, AND, AND, AND THERE, AND THERE'S, THERE'S ANOTHER COMPONENT OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BECAUSE Y'ALL HAVE WENT AND SPOKE TO THE PRINCIPAL AND NOT, AND NOT THIS BOARD. 
          I'VE NEVER BEEN ON THIS BOARD AND, AND HAVE HAD A, THE LOW LEVEL OF A PRINCIPAL, UH, TALKING TO A DEVELOPER IN TERMS OF WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE. 
          BECAUSE TO ME, THAT, THAT, THAT DOESN'T, THAT DOESN'T, THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD EITHER. 
          AND NOT NOTHING ON MR. TERRENCE. 
          IT'S JUST ABOUT SOMETIMES IT'S ABOUT HOW ABOUT HOW IT LOOK, BECAUSE AT END DAY THE BOARD IS VOTING ON THESE THINGS AND, AND THE BOARD LOOKED WITHIN THE BEST INTEREST IN TERMS OF LAND. 
          SO I, I'M, I'M DEFINITELY NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT ALL THE WAY AROUND. 
          DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I'M OKAY. 
          THE, THAT, THAT WAS A LOT. 
          AND I WANNA BE RESPECTFUL OF Y'ALL'S TIME. 
          SO JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          'CAUSE NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHETHER WE'RE TELLING THE TRUTH OR NOT. 
          WE DID, YOU'RE CORRECT THAT WE, WE HAD TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY. 
          AND THE FIRST TIME WE CAME TO YOU, WE HAD A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT ALLOWED THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX TO GO FORWARD WAS APPROVED BY THE COUNTY, THE CITY, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. 
          AND IT DID NOT SHOW ANY TURN LANE IMPROVEMENTS TO BENEFIT THE SCHOOL. 
          SO THE SCHOOL SAID, WHAT CAN Y'ALL DO FOR US? WE OBSERVED AND DISCUSSED, AND Y'ALL WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH TRAFFIC BACKING 
          [00:45:01]
UP ON WK AUSTIN, THIS PRE-EXIST, YOUR CURRENT CONDITION. 
          THAT WAS WHEN IT WAS UNDER DESIGN, I THINK AT CAN START A CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO I STAND CORRECTED. 
          YOU DIDN'T SAY GO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY. 
          YOU SAID, CAN YOU DO A RIGHT TURN LANE? CAN YOU DO A LEFT TURN LANE? WHAT, WHAT IMPROVEMENTS CAN YOU MAKE? SO THAT REQUIRED THE TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH WE DID TO DETERMINE THAT YOU COULD GET THE RIGHT TURN LANE. 
          UM, SO THAT, THAT IS HOW IT CAME TO BE. 
          SO TO HELP ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU ASKED OF US, CAN YOU DO A TURN LANE THAT TRIGGERED THE NEED FOR THE STUDY? THAT STUDY WAS SEPARATE FROM WHAT WAS DONE FOR THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. 
          THAT STUDY ONLY LOOKED AT THE SCHOOL SITUATION TO DETERMINE THE TURN LANES THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT NEED. 
          AND, AND WE DETERMINE YOU NEED A RIGHT TURN LANE AS AS TO SOME HELP. 
          I, I'LL OFFER THIS TO Y'ALL ON THAT LEFT TURN MOVEMENT, BUT AMBUSH RUN REQUIRES A RIGHT TURN LANE INTO IT. 
          SO IT'LL HAVE THAT RIGHT TURN LANE, NOT BYPASS LANE, BUT LITERALLY YOU WOULD'VE A PHYSICAL BYPASS LANE. 
          SO THAT MAY HELP SOME OF Y'ALL'S SITUATION. 
          THAT'S JUST A BYPRODUCT OF THE TOTAL IMPROVEMENT. 
          UH, AND I I JUST WANNA SAY IT ONE LAST TIME. 
          IF I DIDN'T COME TONIGHT TO GET APPROVAL, THIS WAS A START FOR A DIALOGUE. 
          WE'VE, WE'VE GOT ONE THING ADDED TO THE LIST. 
          AND, AND JUST TO ADDRESS ROBERT WHAT HE BROUGHT UP, UM, MS. BOATRIGHT DID TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC CALMING IN AMBER. 
          RUNNING, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PROBLEMATIC THAT THAT ROAD, IT'S, ITS FUNCTION IS THE INTERCONNECTIVITY, TRAFFIC CALMING ON IT REALLY DOESN'T BENEFIT THE SCHOOL OR TRAFFIC ALONG WK AUSTIN. 
          'CAUSE THAT'S A STOP CONTROLLED INTERSECTION. 
          SO WHETHER THE CAR'S GOING SLOW OR FAST, WHEN IT GETS TO YOU, IT'S GOTTA STOP. 
          AND THEN IT, IT'LL BE FOLLOWING THE TRAFFIC, UM, LAWS AND SIGNAGE AND, AND MARKINGS ON WK OFFS. 
          AND SO I DON'T, I DON'T SEE THAT AS BENEFICIAL, BUT IT COULD BE HARMFUL TO THE VALUE OF THAT INTERCONNECTIVITY OF THAT ROAD. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE, WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT OFFER. 
          IT JUST SEEMS CONTRARY TO WHAT WE ALL WANT IS A BETTER SITUATION FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND Y'ALL'S FOCUS IS FOR THE SCHOOL AND THE STUDENTS. 
          I GET THAT. 
          I RESPECT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP Y'ALL ACHIEVE THAT. 
          THE, THE TRAFFIC COMMENT ON AMBROSE RUN JUST DOESN'T FIT THAT. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T INCLUDE IT. 
          WE'LL DEFINITELY GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE LAND AND SEE WHAT, WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, NO MOTION GOING FORWARD TONIGHT. 
          UH, COME BACK WITH, UH, UH, AN, UH, AN ESTIMATE OF, OF THE LAND AND WE CAN DISCUSS A PERCENTAGE AS WELL AS, UH, NO LONGER TRAFFIC COMMENT ON AMBROSE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          UH, ANY ANYTHING ELSE THAT NO, MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M, I'M GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYTHING ELSE, GENTLEMEN? UH, TO, TO CONSIDER COMING BACK? YEAH. 
          A A AND THEN JUST ONE, ONE MORE QUESTION. 
          OH, UH, I, AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING AS FAR AS THE AGREEMENT FOR THE OWNER TO GIVE TO THE DEVELOPER. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO A DRAFT. 
          A DRAFT? YES. 
          A DRAFT EASEMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          LEMME ASK, OFFER THIS. 
          UM, AND TO YOUR POINT, YOU DIDN'T GET TO SEE THIS IN ADVANCE. 
          UM, WE DIDN'T GET STUFF TO ROBERT TILL AT THE LAST MINUTE, SO IT'S ON US, NOT HIM. 
          WHAT IF WE GET IT TO ROBERT, HE DISSEMINATES IT TO Y'ALL. 
          Y'ALL CAN DIGEST IT, FEED BACK TO HIM. 
          I MEAN, I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO COME AND BE AN AGENDA ITEM AND TAKE UP YOUR'S TIME IF IT CAN BE DONE OFFLINE E EQUALLY IF, IF I NEED TO COME BACK SO WE CAN HAVE THE FACE TO FACE, I'M KIND WITH FINE WITH THAT. 
          BUT IF IT WOULD WORK BETTER FOR Y'ALL TO GIVE IT TO Y'ALL AND LET YOU HAVE TIME TO DIGEST IT SURE. 
          BEFORE WE DISCUSS IT. 
          NOT A PROBLEM WITH IT. 
          YEAH. 
          PERSONALLY, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DOING IT WITH DIGESTING IT, BUT THE FACE-TO-FACE IS NEEDED. 
          INTERPRET OF TRANSPARENCY FOR THE PUBLIC. 
          OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. 
          ULTIMATELY, BUT WE MIGHT HAVE SOME BACK AND FORTH A FEW ROUNDS TILL WE, TILL WE GET IT WHERE YOU WANT IT. 
          AND THEN WE WOULD COME THEN AND HAVE A DISCUSSION. 
          SO I, I, WE'LL TRY THAT. 
          I, I'LL GET, I'LL GET THIS TO ROBERT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT 'CAUSE OF THE DRAFT. 
          AND THE EASEMENT'S GONNA BE, THE ATTORNEY'S GONNA HAVE TO GET INVOLVED. 
          SO THAT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME. 
          AND WE JUST MAY NOT GET THIS BEFORE. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR MEETING SCHEDULE'S GONNA LOOK LIKE AS WE HIT NOVEMBER, DECEMBER WITH HOLIDAYS, BUT WE COULD GET IT TO ROBERT AND HE COULD PASS IT AROUND AND Y'ALL CAN LOOK AT IT WHEN YOU CAN. 
          SO LET'S, LET'S TRY THAT AND WE CAN MAYBE KEEP IT MOVING FORWARD AND THEN RECONVENE IT WITH THE PUBLIC MEETING AGAIN AFTER THE FIRST YEAR. 
          ONE QUICK QUESTION. 
          HOW MANY YEARS HAVE WE HAVE? JUST HOW MANY YEARS HAVE WE BEEN AT THIS? 
          [00:50:01]
ALMOST DON'T WANNA SAY THAT OUT LOUD. 
          WE STARTED, I THINK MAYBE OUR FIRST VISIT TO YOU WAS IN 21. 
          IN 21. 
          WE AIN'T SPEEDY ON THIS. 
          IT'S, IT'S, SO THAT'S WHAT I SAY. 
          WE, WE DIDN'T COME TONIGHT TO GET APPROVAL. 
          IT JUST TO HELP FURTHER THIS ALONG. 
          I, I GET IT'S A TOUGH DECISION FOR Y'ALL TO MAKE. 
          SO WE'LL GET SOMETHING TO YOU, LET YOU DIGEST IT. 
          PROBABLY NOT SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN TILL AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. 
          THANK. 
          DONE. 
          TAKE CARE. 
          THANKS ROBERT. 
          THANKS. 
          YEP. 
          STEVE, YOU NEAR THE MICRO JUST TELL YOU THAT MOLLY GOT, SHE MADE IN THE SPREADSHEET THAT YOU REQUESTED PAGE NUMBERS BE CLEAR PROBLEM AND YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          SO REALLY IT WAS JUST AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE PAGE NUMBERS AND THEN THE, UM, HEADERS ARE CLEAR AT THE TOP AS WELL AS WHENEVER SOMEONE DECIDED THAT THEY WEREN'T GONNA PAY. 
          I'VE INDICATED THAT WITH THE NO. 
          AND THEN SAME THING WITH WHEN SOMEONE DID PAY, IT'S INDICATED BY THE DATE THEY PAID, THEY PAID IN FULL AND WHAT THE FINAL AMOUNT WAS. 
          I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT, THAT, THAT'S, THAT DEFINITELY, UH, BRINGS CLARIFICATION TO IT. 
          SO WE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND UNDERSTAND. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          YEAH, NO, NO PROBLEM. 
          NO, MOLLY'S DONE A GREAT JOB. 
          UM, SO THIS'LL BE QUICK, BUT WE HAVE THE THIRD QUARTER FO REPORT. 
          UM, THIS QUARTER WE HAD A TOTAL OF 31 REQUESTS LAST QUARTER. 
          WE HAD A TOTAL OF 24. 
          UM, SO AGAIN, AS THE SCHOOL YEAR PROGRESSES, LIKE WE TEND TO SEE AN UPTICK. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, IT'S THE SAME TRENDS THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING LATELY. 
          IT'S MOSTLY CONTRACTS AND RFPS THAT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE. 
          UM, SOME PEOPLE WE, WE HAD A REQUEST FOR I THINK THE, UM, ENROLLMENT NUMBERS AFTER THE FIRST 10 DAYS OF SCHOOL, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL. 
          WE GET THINGS LIKE NUMBER OF DEVICES, UH, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO, UM, AGAIN, UH, I WILL ALWAYS THANK, UM, MOLLY AND MISS CARTILAGE AND TECHNOLOGY. 
          AND PROCUREMENT. 
          THEY'RE OYA TAKES A TEAM TO GET IT DONE. 
          AND SO, UM, WE'RE VERY, VERY GRATEFUL THAT PEOPLE WORK WITH US ON THIS. 
          BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? MR. SMITH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? NO. 
          UM, ACTUALLY YOU ACTUALLY, UH, READING THE SHEET, UH, SEE THERE, I WAS ABLE TO ANSWER THAT WAS ON, IT WAS ON THE, UM, THE $106 MM-HMM . 
          OCTOBER. 
          AND I SAW NO, SO APPARENTLY SHE, SHE DIDN'T GET IT. 
          IT WAS JUST GIVEN THE PRICE TO HER. 
          CORRECT, YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT, YEAH. 
          SO IT'S ALREADY WORKING, SO I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR HELP. 
          SURE. 
          NO, THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          WE MOVE TO, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE MOVE TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          CHECK ONE, BUT I'LL BE HAPPY TO COME DOWN. 
          IZZY, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M DOING WONDERFUL. 
          HOW ARE Y'ALL THIS EVENING? I USUALLY DON'T GET TO COME TO THESE, SO I FEEL SPECIAL COMING TO AN OPERATIONS. 
          I'M USUALLY IN ACADEMICS, BUT WE DO HAVE AN AR TODAY TO BRING FORWARD. 
          AND THE REASON THIS ONE, IT WAS KIND OF DONE THROUGH OUR OFFICE IS BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH ANIMALS THAT ARE BEING USED FOR INSTRUCTION. 
          SO I HAVE THREE THINGS FOR YOU. 
          I HAVE THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, WHICH JUST OUTLINES THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE. 
          THE RED LINE COPY, WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND IT EASIER TO SEE THE CHANGES ON THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE IN RED OR THEY'RE IN A STRIKE THROUGH. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE THE FINAL COPY COPY. 
          AND THIS IS FOR MORE FOR YOUR INFORMATION, UM, THIS EVENING. 
          SO WE, AS YOU KNOW, WE REGULARLY LOOK AT OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS AND UPDATE THOSE. 
          WE ALSO UPDATE THEM AS NEW REGULATIONS AND POLICIES COME DOWN FROM THE STATE. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE THIS EVENING. 
          UM, IN SECTION ONE, WE DID ADD IN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S EXPECTATION THAT IS BEING ADDED TO ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS. 
          ANOTHER THING THAT'S BEING ADDED TO ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATIONS IS SECTION TWO, 
          [00:55:01]
WHICH IS OUR NON-DISCRIMINATION CLAUSE. 
          SO LET'S GET INTO THE REAL CHANGES FOR ANIMALS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY. 
          IF YOU'LL LOOK OVER ON PAGE TWO, DOWN NEAR THE BOTTOM, UNDER ANIMALS GENERALLY, THIS IS WHERE OUR BIGGEST CHANGE COMES FROM. 
          THE STATE IS NOW SAYING IF THE ANIMALS ARE ALIGNED WITH ONE OF OUR 32 PATHWAYS FOR CTE, WHICH WE DO HAVE AN AGRICULTURAL PATHWAY, THEN THOSE ANIMALS HAND BE, IF THEY'RE APPROVED, THEY CAN BE UTILIZED FOR THE PURPOSES OF INSTRUCTION. 
          SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT OUR BATTERY CREEK, UM, HIGH SCHOOL, THEY HAVE A, A VERY STRONG AGRICULTURAL NATIONAL WINNING PROGRAM THERE. 
          THEY MIGHT HAVE THE NEED FOR THEM TO BE AROUND SOME LIVESTOCK IN, IN THEIR STUDIES. 
          SO IT ALLOWS US TO DO THAT AS LONG AS THEY ARE APPROVED AND AS LONG AS THERE IS A AMPLE ENCLOSURE AROUND THEM FOR SAFETY AND SO THAT THEY DON'T GET LOOSE. 
          THE ONLY OTHER REAL CHANGE IS IF YOU LOOK AT E RIGHT BELOW THAT, WE DO ALLOW ANIMALS FOR THE PURPOSE OF STUDENTS OBSERVING THEM AND LEARNING ABOUT HABITATS. 
          AND THE STATE HAS ALLOWED THE INCLUSION OF CHINCHILLAS NOW, WHICH THEY'RE NOT TURNAL. 
          I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH THE KIDS ARE GONNA SEE DURING THE DAY, BUT . 
          BUT THEY ARE ALLOWING US TO ADD THAT. 
          SO OF COURSE ANY OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO PROVIDE SOMETHING IN OUR SCHOOLS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT. 
          SO WE DID ADD THAT. 
          UM, THE ONLY OTHER CHANGES THAT ARE MADE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEGAL REFERENCES, WE JUST UPDATED THOSE WITH THE CURRENT LAWS AND LEGISLATION AND  GOVERNANCE OF THAT. 
          SO THOSE WERE ME CHANGES. 
          AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM FOR ME. 
          JILL'S ON THE UPTICK HERE. 
          THEY MUST BE, I DON'T KNOW, . 
          THEY ARE CUTE, BUT THEY'RE NOT TURNAL. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THIS THIS EVENING. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          OE SEVEN. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          NOW OE SEVEN. 
          I THINK WE'RE NOT PREPARED TO PRESENT TONIGHT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          YEAH, SO THAT ONE WILL BE, WE'LL HAVE TO BRING THAT AT THE NEXT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE. 
          I'D BE SCARED. 
          . 
          NOVEMBER 6TH. 
          SCOTT 13TH. 
          DO ONE OF ME IN THE MICROPHONE CASE. 
          KEVIN, HEAR ME. 
           UH, TRANSPORTATION. 
          RIGHT. 
          I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF INTRODUCING THE BEST, WORKING TO BE THE BEST TRANSPORTATION GROUP IN THE STATE. 
          WE'LL SAY. 
          SO IF YOU KNOW YOU MET, UH, MR. GLENN FRAZIER, WHO'S THE HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION, UM, MR. KEVIN LAVELL, WHO'S THE ASSISTANT, AND MR. JOSH JOHNSON, WHO'S OUR LOGISTICS AND TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'LL HAND IT OVER TO GLEN. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          BOARD. 
          THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TONIGHT. 
          UH, WE HAVE BROUGHT IN THE ROUTES FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR, UH, THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FOR, UM, THE BEAUFORT COMMUNITY. 
          UH, WE HAVE IT, UH, INDIVIDUALIZED IN, IN BINDERS FOR EACH PARK OUT, UH, ST. 
          HENA, BLUFFTON, UH, MINK POINT AND HILTON HEAD. 
          WE'RE CURRENTLY OPERATING 562 ROUTES FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR. 
          UM, THAT'S INCLUDING, UH, AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS, UH, MIDDAY PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND, UM, THE ADDITIONAL, UH, OF A FEW ROUTES THAT WE HAD TO EXPAND ON DOWN IN THE BLUFFTON AREA THIS YEAR TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BETTER SERVICE FOR THAT COMMUNITY DOWN THERE. 
          WE, UH, I'M VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE, UH, REDUCED SOME OF THE WAIT TIME AT, AT, UH, MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL, UH, FOR THEIR AFTERNOON AND MORNING ROUTES. 
          UH, IN THE PAST, BUSES HAVE BEEN GETTING THERE ABOUT 4 45, 5 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOONS WE'RE, THE LATEST BUS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT FOUR 15. 
          SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE ABOUT 30 MINUTE WAIT TIME FOR STUDENTS AT, AT MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL, UH, WHILE STILL PROVIDING, UH, CROSS BLUFFTON TRANSPORTATION FOR, FOR THE ZONING THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, BUT, UH, MR. JOHNSTON, JOSH JOHNSON IS OUR NEW DIRECTOR OF, UH, LOGISTICS AND TECHNOLOGY. 
          UH, HE COMES TO US WITH A VAST KNOWLEDGE FROM THE STATE AND UNDERSTANDS THE ROUTING SYSTEM, THE STUDENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT THE STATE IS USING NOW. 
          BEEN A BIG ASSET TO US AS FAR AS BEING ABLE TO, UH, EVALUATE SOME OF OUR ROUTES AND BEING ABLE TO, UH, BREAK 
          [01:00:01]
THOSE DOWN TO WHERE WE COULD, UH, IN IMPROVE OUR, OUR WAIT TIMES FOR STUDENTS. 
          AND THEN KEVIN LAVELL IS THE DEPUTY HEAD OF TRANSPORTATION. 
          HE HANDLES PRETTY MUCH THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, UH, FOR OUR DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, AND HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF, OF COMMUNICATING WITH ALL THE SUPERVISORS AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAD THE, THE, UH, PERSONNEL AND NEEDS THAT THEY, THEY MAY NEED AT, UH, AT, AT THESE PARK OUTS. 
          BUT WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE ROUTES AND THE ROUTING SYSTEM. 
          UH, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, FEEL FREE TO ASK. 
          IF I MAY, I'M GONNA THROW IN THAT WE ACTUALLY BROUGHT 589 ROUTES WITH US. 
          AND THE REASON THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THAT IS AS WE ADDRESSED SOME OF THE ISSUES OF THE, THE LATE ARRIVALS AND SOME OF THE TRAFFIC ISSUES, PART OF BREAKING THOSE UP WAS TO CREATE ADDITIONAL ROUTES OR COMBINED ROUTES AND MOVE ROUTES A ABOUT. 
          UM, BUT IN TRYING TO CAPTURE KIND OF WORST CASE SCENARIO OR BEST CASE SCENARIO, I DIDN'T WANT TO NOT INCLUDE ROUTES THAT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WE MAY HAVE TO RETURN BACK TO SERVICE. 
          SO THERE ARE MORE ROUTES HERE THAN OUR DAILY OPERATION, JUST AS POTENTIAL IF WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THOSE, WE'RE, THEY'RE STILL AVAILABLE IN THE SYSTEM, THEY'RE DEACTIVATED. 
          SO THE STATE IS NOT REVIEWING THEM, UM, FROM LIKE A LEGAL STANDPOINT. 
          UH, BUT THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO US IF WE NOTIFY 'EM AND, AND REACTIVATE 'EM. 
          UH, AND MR. GORDON, THE BOOK THAT YOU'RE LOOKING IN, WE'RE THE TAB IN IT. 
          THE THEY ARE DIVIDED BETWEEN REGULAR NEEDS, GENERAL AID AND SPACE, SPECIAL NEEDS TRANSPORTATION. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I'LL ASK, UM, SO LIKE, THE, THE DOCUMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED WAS OVER 500 PAGES, 500, 574 . 
          SO WHEN I WENT TO GO LOOK AT IT, I'M LIKE, HOW DO I DIG THROUGH 500 PAGES WORTH OF, RIGHT? YES, SIR. 
          SO, WHICH I DIDN'T, I'LL BE, I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO ADMIT. 
          UM, SO, BUT WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IN THE FUTURE, WHAT, WHAT HIGHLIGHTS SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR? WHAT WAVE TOPS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THAT, THAT I SPEND? OKAY. 
          IF YOU'RE GONNA SPEND AN HOUR LOOKING OVER A 500 PAGE DOCUMENT, WHAT SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR? UH, DEPEND AND WE CAN, IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU, YOU, IF YOU'D LIKE, WE CAN BREAK IT UP INTO PARK OUTS, LIKE WE HAVE IT IN THE, IN THE BINDERS. 
          AND THEN IF YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR PARK OUT OR AREA THAT YOU WANNA, UH, LOOK AT, YOU CAN EAS UH, YOU KNOW, MORE EASILY GET TO THAT, UH, PARK OUT AND BE ABLE TO FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          IF YOU HAVE A PARENT COMPLAINING ABOUT A CERTAIN AREA, UH, YOU CAN, YOU CAN MORE EASILY FIND IT. 
          IF I, IF I COULD JUMP IN HERE. 
          YEAH. 
          I WOULD SAY YOUR ROLE AS BOARD MEMBERS IS TO KNOW IF YOU'RE HAVING LOTS OF PARENT COMPLAINTS, GETTING INTO THE WEEDS OF THE ROUTES IS PROBABLY NOT SOMETHING THAT'S NECESSARY. 
          JUST NOTE THAT, UM, THEY CHANGE EVEN AFTER TODAY, THESE ROUTES CHANGE. 
          AND THERE IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT IS MONITORED BY THE STATE. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND, AND THAT'S HOW ROUTES ARE REALLY ADJUSTED. 
          THERE'S A STATE LAW THAT STILL SAYS BOARDS ARE REQUIRED TO APPROVE ROUTES. 
          I THINK JOSH SAID HE'S NOT AWARE OF MANY OTHER DISTRICTS THAT DO THAT. 
          NO, I, I WAS, I WAS WITH THE STATE SIDE, UM, FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS. 
          AND THIS IS THE FIRST IN THAT ENTIRE PERIOD OF TIME THAT I'VE EVER HEARD SOMEONE LEGITIMATELY BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD, UM, BY THE END. 
          AND IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE FROM THE START OF SCHOOL TO THE DAY THAT THEY'RE DUE, UH, THEY'RE DUE OCTOBER 15TH. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO TOMORROW, AS LONG AS WHAT'S IN THE SYSTEM IS WHAT WE'RE OPERATING BY, UM, BECAUSE OF THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND EVERYONE'S SCHEDULE WITH GETTING BACK INTO SCHOOL, I THINK IT JUST BECAME, IT'S ONE OF THOSE BORDERLINE ARCHAIC RULES THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE FOR A REASON AT A CERTAIN TIME. 
          AND AS TECHNOLOGY AND OUR ROUTING SYSTEM AND THE ROLE OF AN ACTUAL ROUTER WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENTS OF DISTRICTS CHANGED, SO TOO DID THE EXPECTATION AND THE WAY THAT WE CONDUCT BUSINESS AS IT PERTAINS TO ROUTING. 
          I JUST WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. 
          I, I THINK THAT THAT ROUTE RULE CAME INTO PLAY IN LIKE 1983 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND IT'S JUST NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF OF THE BOOKS. 
          BUT IT IS STILL A LOSS. 
          CORRECT. 
          IT IS A STATE LAW, SO WE ARE ABIDING BY THE LAW. 
          BUT I ALSO THINK IT IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY THAT IF YOU ARE HEARING OF ROUTING ISSUES OR TIMES, OR PARENTS, THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BREAK THAT UP. 
          I, I THINK THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT FROM YOUR SIDE THAN GETTING DOWN INTO THE WEEDS OF WHAT I WAS JUST, UH, WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE WORTH IT TO, TO BREAK UP THE ROUTES BY DISTRICT AND NOT NECESSARILY BY SCHOOL CLUSTER FOR THAT REASON. 
          OH, THAT, THAT, UH, THAT GETS COMPLICATED. 
          'CAUSE YOU MAY HAVE, I I I, I'M AWARE BECAUSE LIKE I ONLY HAVE THREE SCHOOLS IN MY DISTRICT, BUT THERE ARE KIDS THAT GO IN, IN MY DISTRICTS THAT GO TO HIGH SCHOOLS THAT ARE OUTSIDE MY DISTRICT. 
          [01:05:01]
WHAT I, WHAT I CAN DO IS FOR FUTURE REFERENCES, NOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AN IDEA OF WHY WE'RE HERE AND WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING TO YOU, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GIVE US FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE, I CAN CREATE A HUNDRED DIFFERENT REPORTS WITHIN THAT SYSTEM TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE. 
          UM, IF THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU WANT A LIST OF ALL OF THE ROUTES WITH BUSES AND START AND STOP TIMES, THEN LET ME KNOW THAT AND, AND WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING IS IF YOU WANT THOSE TAILORED TO THE INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS THAT EACH OF YOU REPRESENT, IF I HAD A LIST OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT SCHOOLS YOU COVER, I CAN GIVE YOU JUST, JUST THE PERTINENT INFORMATION IS WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          UM, THERE WILL BE CASES WHERE SPECIFICALLY ON THE BLUFFTON SIDE, UM, THAT IS MY BEAR, THERE WILL BE CASES WHERE ONE OF YOU MAY GET THE SAME ROUTE, THREE OF YOU MAY GET THE SAME ROUTE BECAUSE WE ARE SERVICING MULTIPLE SECTIONS BECAUSE OF HOW THE ZONING IS DONE. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, AND WE'VE, WE PUT A LOT OF GROUP EFFORT INTO MAKING THAT FUNCTIONAL NOW AND, AND ADJUSTING THOSE, THOSE BAIL TIMES AND NOT, NOT ADJUSTING THE BAIL TIMES, BUT ACCOMMODATING THOSE BELL TIMES MORE APPROPRIATELY. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT I'M SAYING IS IF YOU GUYS TELL ME WHAT YOU WANNA SEE, I'LL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO, TO GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION. 
          UM, AND, AND NORMALLY IT DOESN'T TAKE VERY LONG TO, TO PRODUCE INFORMATION LIKE THAT. 
          THIS, THE HARDEST PART ABOUT THIS, UM, WAS PUTTING IT IN THE BINDERS AND  SECTION OF OFF. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALL, I SAY THAT JOKINGLY BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S WHAT I DO ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, IF YOU, IF YOU JUST WANNA LET, LET ME KNOW OR LET US KNOW WHAT INFORMATION YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          YOU WANNA SEE. 
          I'LL MAKE THAT AVAILABLE IN SHORT ORDER. 
          YOU CAN HELP US OUT WITH SOMETHING THAT'S COMING UP STARTING NEXT WEEK. 
          UH, WE HAD A JOINT MEETING WITH THE COUNTY COUNCIL WEEK OR SO. 
          UH, TALK ABOUT SOME, ANOTHER TOPIC, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS MENTIONED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF GETTING OUR ROADS FIXED, AND WE'RE HAVING A MEETING SCHEDULED HERE A WEEK FROM, UH, TOMORROW HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH THE COUNTY COUNCIL. 
          HOW CAN WE GET A REFERENDUM PASSED? AND, AND ONE OF THE POINTS THAT WE MADE AT THIS JOINT MEETING WAS WE PROBABLY HAVE THE BIGGEST SINGLE IMPACT OF ANY GROUP IN THE COUNTY ON TRAFFIC. 
          SURE. 
          SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO OFFER THE COUNTY IS HELPING THEM SCOPE THE NEED SO WE CAN CONVINCE THE TAXPAYERS TO VOTE FOR THE REFERENDUM. 
          SO WHAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IS FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO GIVE TO THE BOARD, HERE ARE OUR MAJOR TRAFFIC IMPEDIMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          INFRASTRUCTURE WISE, THIS IS THE INTERSECTION THAT, YOU KNOW, 4 62 OR, OR WHATEVER THAT CAUSES YOU TO BE LATE OR HAVE TO WORK AROUND YOU, YOU UNDER, AND I'LL EVEN GO INTO A LITTLE BIT OF DEPTH. 
          UH, I, I CAN NERD OUT ON THIS SYSTEM, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL. 
          UM, BUT WHEN WE DISCOVER THOSE, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE COMBAT IT AS WE BUILD THESE ROUTES IS WE CREATE AN OBSTACLE IN THE SYSTEM THAT PREVENTS THE ROUTING SOFTWARE FROM ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN. 
          UM, SOMETIMES THERE'S A HUMAN ELEMENT TO IT THAT HAS TO EXIST TO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS INTERSECTION ON A MAP LOOKS, LOOKS BLACK AND WHITE, BUT IN REAL TIME, YOU CANNOT MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN SAFELY TO SCHOOL BUS. 
          SO WE, WE ARE ABLE TO CREATE THOSE PARAMETERS IN THE SYSTEM. 
          UM, AND I CAN ABSOLUTELY PRODUCE THAT FOR YOU. 
          THAT THAT WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL, UH, BECAUSE WE WANT THIS REFERENDUM. 
          YEAH. 
          ONE OF OUR, ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ISSUES FOR THE BLUFFTON AREA IN PARTICULAR IS, IS LIKE THE MAY RIVER ROAD. 
          OH YEAH. 
          BECAUSE IT'S TWO LANE. 
          AND IF THERE'S A, IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT ON THERE, WE JAM AND WE'RE LATE. 
          I MEAN, IT PUTS US WAY BEHIND. 
          AND THERE'S NOT MANY ACCESSES OFF. 
          THERE'S NO WIGGLE ROAD. 
          NO, SIR. 
          SO IF, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ROAD WIDENING AND ADDING LANES AND STUFF, THAT'S SOMETHING PAUL ACT, WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST REF SUCCESSFUL REFERENDUM, WE HAD A CITIZENS GROUP GO OUT AND LOOK AT, PHYSICALLY LOOK AT THE SCHOOLS AND SAY, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO GIVE TO THE COUNTY TO SAY, 
          [01:10:01]
BINGO, THAT TWO LANE NEEDS TO BE A FOUR LANE. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AND THEN FROM THAT YOU PRIORITIZE. 
          WELL, WE WANNA BE IN THE CONVERSATION ON THE PRIORITIZATION. 
          YEAH. 
          SO ABSOLUTELY. 
          SURE. 
          THE THINGS, SO DO WE ? YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS MR. CHAIRMAN I'M GONNA RECOMMEND TO THE COUNTY IS WHEN THEY HAVE, THEY'RE GONNA RECOMMEND THAT THEY HAVE THIS COMMITTEE TO GO OUT AND, AND SCOPE THE REFERENDUM, SKIP ONE OTHER FOLKS ON THE COMMITTEE, BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY HAVE A HELL OF A LOT MORE INFORMATION THAN THE COUNTY HAS THAT YOU CAN, WE GET DATA THAT, THAT WE CAN CONVINCE PUBLIC THAT THIS IS A GOOD THING TO DO. 
          SO ABSOLUTELY. 
          JUST LIKE THEY, JUST LIKE THE COUNTY SAID, UM, THE ROADS, THAT'S THEIR BEAR. 
          YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S THE BATTLE THAT THEY FIGHT AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE MM-HMM . 
          SO, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S A REAL GOOD POINT. 
          AND I, I KNOW IT COULDN'T BE DONE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. 
          YEAH. 
          WITHOUT, UM, SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE IT'S GETTING BIGGER. 
          IT'S RIGHT. 
          IT, IT'S WIDENING. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, THE SAME ISSUES ON ST. 
          HELENAN AFTERNOONS AS WELL. 
          UH, RIGHT THERE AT THE LADIES ISLAND INTERSECTION,  STANDPOINT. 
          AND YES, SEA ISLAND PARKWAY IN THE AFTERNOONS, IT'S, IT'S A DISASTER. 
          AND AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, DELAYS IN OUR ABILITY TO GET STUDENTS HOME IN A TIMELY MANNER, UH, IT, IT CERTAINLY AFFECTS THAT. 
          SO, UH, WE'LL BE GLAD TO GET INVOLVED IN THAT, UH, IN WHATEVER WAY YOU NEED US TO. 
          YOU GOT A SYSTEM, YOU GOTTA, THAT'S FANTASTIC. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. 
          YES, SIR. 
          YEAH, SIR. 
          THE, UH, THE STATE BEGAN IMPLEMENTED PROBABLY FIVE, FIVE YEARS AGO. 
          UM, AND IT WAS ON A THREE YEAR ROLLOUT FOR DIFFERENT DISTRICTS. 
          AND NOW IT IS, THAT'S HOW THEY, THAT'S HOW THEY OPERATE. 
          THAT THAT IS HOW THEY OPERATE. 
          THAT'S HOW, THAT'S HOW THEY CHECK EVERYTHING. 
          UM, I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S A PRETTY COOL SYSTEM. 
          THEY, THEY ARE, THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB OF ENSURING THAT THEY KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH THEIR ASSETS AND THE BUSES. 
          AND THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM EVEN GOES DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE, UH, AND IT, AND IN THE PAST WE HAVE HAD TO USE IT. 
          IF A BUS IS LOW ON FUEL, WE CAN CALL A SHOP AND THE SHOP CAN TELL US THE PERCENTAGE THAT'S LEFT IN THE BUS AND HOW MUCH THAT'S, THAT'S HOW IN DEPTH THAT THAT SYSTEM IS NOW. 
          SO INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE WANTING, UH, HAS GOTTA BE AVAILABLE FOR US. 
          MS. FRAZIER ONLINE SAYS, ADJUSTING BILL TIME IS A THOUGHT AND DIFFERENT START TIMES FOR ALL THREE SCHOOL LEVELS THAT WOULD DON'T GET THESE GUYS GOING ON BELT TIMES. 
          THAT, THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE HAPPEN. 
          UH, BUT WE'LL WORK IN THE PARAMETERS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY IN BOTH . 
          IN A PERFECT WORLD, YES. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE ALSO HAVING MEETINGS STARTING ON IT. 
          THEY STARTED YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY ABOUT MOVING THESE, UH, REZONING, REZONING, REZONING. 
          WE WOULD, THE BIGGEST PART OF THE, THE ZONING PORTION THAT WE SEE FROM TRANSPORTING STUDENTS IS THE ISLANDS, THE LITTLE, THE LITTLE DONUTS. 
          OH, YEAH. 
          LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST NIGHT. 
          THO THOSE, THOSE ARE LIKE THE SUPERCHARGED BEAR OF THE BLUFFTON SIDE. 
          UM, UH, WE WE'RE MAKING IT WORK, BUT THERE'S CERTAINLY SOME, AND, AND THAT HIGHLIGHTS IN THOSE AREAS THAT HIGHLIGHTS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING, SIR, THAT THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT WE JUST, WE HAVE TO GO A CERTAIN WAY AND IT CREATES EVEN MORE TIME BECAUSE OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUE. 
          SO WE, WE'D LOVE TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE, UH, REZONING, UH, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE TRANSPORTATION ASPECT OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO, TO ASSIST US IN SHORTENING TIMES FOR THESE STUDENTS TO BE ON BUSES AND TO BE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THE ASSETS THAT WE DO HAVE. 
          I MEAN, WE'VE GOTTEN TO A POINT TO WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE ENOUGH DRIVERS TO FILL THE ROUTES THAT WE HAVE IN BLUFFTON AND THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. 
          BUT ONCE WE DID THAT, WE HIRED 'EM BASED ON THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD HAVE EXTRA DRIVERS IN CASE PEOPLE WERE OUT. 
          ONCE WE GOT INTO PLAY AND WE SAW THE TIMES THAT WERE GOING ON AT THESE SCHOOLS, OUR FIRST PRIORITY WAS WE'VE GOT TO, TO SHORTEN THE WAIT TIMES AT THESE SCHOOLS SPREADING THAT LOAD. 
          AND SO WE HAD TO GO BACK IN AND SPLIT ROUTES UP AND, AND MAKE, BASICALLY WHAT IT MADE US DO IS MAKE ADDITIONAL ROUTES. 
          WELL, THAT TOOK THE ASSETS THAT WE HAD BUILT WITH THE EXTRA PEOPLE. 
          SO NOW WE'RE STILL FULLY STAFFED, HOWEVER, WE DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY ROOM. 
          SO IF SOMEBODY'S OUT, THEN WE HAVE TO START DOUBLING UP AGAIN. 
          SO IF WE CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE REZONING TO 
          [01:15:01]
WHERE WE CAN MAXIMIZE OUR ASSETS TO WHERE, WHAT, JUST LIKE TO SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF DRIVERS THAT WE HAVE, WE CAN DO MORE WITH. 
          AND MR. CARR WAS THERE, UH, LAST NIGHT, AND I DUNNO IF YOU KNEW, BUT MS. COCO MILLER WAS IN THE BACK RIGHT CORNER, AND SHE'S THE SOUTH ABROAD TRANSPORTATION SUPERVISOR. 
          SO THESE GUYS DO CARE AND THEY SHOW UP. 
          YEAH, IT WAS REALLY GOOD LAST NIGHT. 
          AND, UH, I HAD, I WAS GONNA, COLONEL GEIER KIND OF STOLE ALL MY THUNDER, BUT , I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BLUFFED CON CON COMPLEX. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I GO OUT 46 RIGHT. 
          TO SAVANNAH. 
          AND THE TRAFFIC IS AWFUL. 
          YES. 
          BOTH WAYS. 
          AND I PASS NUMEROUS BUSES, AND WHEN IT'S DARK, IT'S EVEN WORSE. 
          AND NOW THEY'VE A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN BY THE AMOCO STATION NOW WHERE THE TURNS TO HARDY AND STUFF. 
          THEY'VE TAKEN THE TOP LAYER OF, UH, ASPHALT OFF THEM. 
          SO NOW THEY'VE EXPOSED EVERY POTHOLE YES. 
          , WHATEVER WAS BUILT 25 YEARS AGO. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          SO I GIVE THE BUS PEOPLE UNBELIEVABLE CREDIT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          DEALING WITH ALL OF THAT. 
          DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM? AND I KNOW THERE IT HAPPENS, BUT PEOPLE NOT STOPPING FOR THE LIGHT FLASHING LIGHTS. 
          YES, YES. 
          IN CERTAIN AREAS IS WORSE THAN OTHERS. 
          UH, AND IT'S GENERALLY THE BUSIER AREAS IS WHERE WE HAVE MORE OF THE, UH, STOP SIGN VIOLATIONS IS THE ROLE WAY TOO. 
          THE, THE, THE STATE HAS STARTED IN INCLUDING CAMERAS ON THE STOP SIGNS. 
          UH, WE CAN PUT THOSE IN AS WELL. 
          UH, IF WE HAVE THE FUNDING TO DO THAT, UH, WITH THE EXISTING BUSES THAT WE HAVE, WE CAN ADD THOSE. 
          THAT'S AN, IT'S AN OPTION THAT YOU CAN ADD. 
          UH, AND THEN OF COURSE, AS WE GET THOSE REPORTS, WE CALL THE, THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES OR THE HIGHWAY PATROL, WHEREVER THE AREA IS OR WHOEVER'S IN JURISDICTION THERE TO HAVE THEM TRY TO DO SOME, SOME, UH, SETUPS. 
          BUT, UH, TRYING TO DO A SETUP ON, WEREN'T YOU GIVING TICKETS? I WAS, I WAS JUST FIXING A COMMENT ON THAT. 
          SO THE, THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION USED TO HAVE A TROOPER AS A LIAISON, WAS ASSIGNED TO THIS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FULL-TIME. 
          THAT'S ALL HE DID, UH, FOCUSED ON SAFETY. 
          AND THE LAST ONE HE RETIRED, UM, SERGEANT MATT SUTHER WAS HIS NAME. 
          SO HE HAS YET TO BEEN REPLACED. 
          BUT WHEN HE WAS ON STAFF, PROBABLY SIX MONTHS INTO HIS TENURE, HE CREATED A, UM, JUST LIKE AN EMAIL THAT WHEN WE WOULD GENERATE, THE DISTRICTS WOULD GENERATE THOSE REPORTS. 
          THEY WOULD BE SENT TO HIM, UM, AND HE WOULD DIS DISSEMINATE THAT INFORMATION TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY BASED ON WHERE IT HAPPENED OR, YOU KNOW, THE FREQUENCY. 
          AND HE WAS EVEN GOING SO FAR. 
          SO WHEN, WHEN I WAS ON THE STATE, I HAD BEAUFORT AND JASPER, UM, FIXING THEIR BUSES AND, AND MONITORING ROUTES AND STUFF. 
          UH, THERE WERE TWO OCCASIONS ON THE JASPER SIDE WHERE IT WAS HAPPENING SO FREQUENTLY, AND THEY WERE REMAINING DILIGENT THAT THE TROOPERS CAME OUT WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND UNMARKED VEHICLES. 
          UM, AND I THINK IN LIKE A SIX HOUR WINDOW, THERE WAS 26 TICKETS GIVEN. 
          UM, SO THE, THE, THE SUPPORT FOR THAT IDEA THAT YOU'RE ASKING IS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT WITH PUTTING SOMEBODY BACK IN, IN SOUTHERN PLACES IS RETIREMENT. 
          BUT YES, I JUST KNOW THAT YEAH, I CAN, 'CAUSE I CAN SEE IT KIND OF BOTH WAYS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AND MOST KIDS WILL GET ON THE BUS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, ONE SIDE OR BOTH WAY. 
          BUT THERE ARE OCCASIONALLY THERE ARE KIDS GOING ACROSS THE ROAD. 
          WELL, AND SPEAKING TO THAT, THOSE RESTRICTIONS THAT WE PUT ON THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS THAT JUST BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC, WE'RE ONLY PICKING UP ON ONE SIDE, NOT, WE'RE NOT RISKING TRYING TO STOP TRAFFIC AT ALL, OR, AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          SO, AND THOSE ARE, HOPEFULLY THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE TRACK AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MANIPULATING THAT SYSTEM TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE, THOSE SAFETY NEEDS. 
          WELL, WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS DO TO MAKE , WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO ACTION ITEMS WOULD BE TRAFFIC CONGESTION REPORT. 
          UM, SO THAT WE CAN GO AND, AND THAT'S GONNA BE, THAT NEEDS TO BE A QUICK TURNAROUND. 
          WELL, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO STRUCTURE IT AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET THEM TO START WORKING ON IT RIGHT AWAY. 
          BUT IT, I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHEN THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE COUNT, THE, UH, COMMITTEE SET UP AND THAT TYPE OF THING. 
          AND, UH, IT'S, IT'S PART OF THE MARKET. 
          IT'S PART OF THE MARKETING FOR THE REFERENDUM. 
          AND THAT THAT WON'T HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 90 
          [01:20:01]
DAYS PRIOR TO THE REFERENDUM, WHICH WILL BE, UH, NEXT SPRING. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          MAYBE NOT. 
          UH, BUT BUS STOP, UH, FOR THE, THE BUS STOP SIGN CAMERAS. 
          UH, DO WE HAVE A BALLPARK FIGURE FOR THAT? WE CAN GET THAT FOR YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S THE OTHER, THERE IS A, UM, BILL, UM, IN A HOUSE THAT LAST TIME WE WAS UP AT, AT COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE BILL IS THREE, IS 3,100 AIMED AT TO INCREASE PENALTIES FOR PASSING SCHOOL BUS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          STOPS. 
          UM, IT'S DOUBLED FOR TRIPLE FINES FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE REQUIRING A FINE OF A THOUSAND THOUSAND, A POSSIBLE 30 DAY PRI AND A 30 DAY LIKE, SO IT'S BEING TALKED ABOUT. 
          DEFINITELY PASSING STOP SIGN. 
          YOU SAY THAT THE SAFETY GUY AT THE STATE BOARD HAS NOT BEEN FILLED? UM, THE LAST I CHECKED, NO. 
          WHEN, WHEN SERGEANT SUTHER RETIRED, HIS POSITION HAS NOT BEEN FILLED. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S, HE, HE WAS A GENUINE STATE TROOPER. 
          SOUTH CAROLINA. 
          I WE'RE TO, SOME OF US ARE GOING TO MEET WITH THE STATE BOARD, UH, NEXT WEEK OR SO. 
          AND, UH, IF YOU COULD, IF YOU COULD SEND ME, UH, IF VERIFY IF, IF IT'S NOT BEEN REPLACED, ABSOLUTELY. 
          BUT WHO, WHAT THE VACANCY IS AND, AND WHEN THE GUY LEFT, BECAUSE THAT'S A PERFECT THING FOR, GO TO THE STATE BOARD AND SAY, HEY, WELL, IT WAS ALWAYS EASIER FOR US BECAUSE WE WOULD EMAIL HIM A FORM THAT WE FILLED OUT SAYING THIS INFRACTION HAPPENED ON THIS LOCATION AT THIS TIME, AT, ON THIS DAY. 
          AND HE WOULD THEN IN TURN TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND GET THAT TO EITHER, FOR MY AREA WAS PORT ROYAL, THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THAT WE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS. HE WOULD GET THE INFORMATION FROM PORT ROYAL POLICE. 
          THEY WOULD COME OUT AND SET UP AND WATCH VEHICLES, UH, ON REBOUGHT ROAD. 
          UH, BUT IT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. 
          WE JUST SEND HIM THE INFORMATION, THEN HE DISSEMINATES IT TO THE AGENCIES THAT NEED TO GET AHOLD OF IT. 
          SO HIS, THAT, THAT POSITION WAS VERY IMPORTANT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS? WE DO HAVE A MOTION. 
          SOMEONE WOULD MAKE IT. 
          I RECOMMEND THAT THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REC SHOULD BE A YEAH, I MOVED, I MOVED AT THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE. 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          , BECAUSE RECOMMENDS IN HERE.

          THANK YOU VAR. 
          GOOD EVENINGS.

          HE WORKS SPEEDY. 
          OH, YOU WANT ME TO MAKE A SPEEDY? I'LL DO IT, . 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR THE PROJECTS THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER ON THE 2019 BOND REFERENDUM, WE ARE AT 11 PROJECT CLOSEOUT REMAINING WORKING WITH CONTRACTORS TO RECONCILE THOSE FUNDS. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MONTH WE ARE GONNA GET ANOTHER BATCH COMING OUR WAY. 
          SO WE ARE MAKING HEADWAY ON THAT. 
          UH, FRONT, UH, THE 2019 BOND REFERENDUM FINANCIALS, THE PAYING FUNDS, UH, THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER, WERE AT 374 POINT $88 MILLION. 
          THE REMAINING AVAILABLE FUNDS, WHICH INCLUDE A CONTINGENCY TOTAL 866,000, GIVE OR TAKE, UH, CONTINGENCY ACTIVITY IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, INCLUDED THE SAVINGS OF 18.6 K. 
          UH, NO CONTINGENCY WAS USED. 
          THE CONTINGENCY REMAINING AT THE END OF THE MONTH WAS 333,000. 
          YOU'LL SEE THIS COMING MONTH WILL BE MUCH LOWER. 
          UM, OUT OF THE 2019 MONTH REFERENDUM REMAINING PROGRAM CONTINGENCY COMMITMENTS, WE HAD A TOTAL OF NINE THAT WERE COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER. 
          THAT LEAVES US WITH SIX FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE REFERENDUM. 
          SO WE ARE CLOSING IN ON THE, THE USE OF THOSE FUNDS. 
          UM, ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING 2019? WAS, UH, MAY, ARE THERE ANY PROJECTS AT MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL THAT WERE IN THE 2019 REFERENDUM? THE MAY RIVER, THE ORIGINAL, UM, IT WAS THE EXPANSION. 
          YEAH, THE ADDITION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          OF, UH, THE WING EDITION, THE EXPANSION AND SAFETY. 
          SECURITY. 
          AND WE ALSO DID THE, DID WE DO THE DESIGN OF THE CAPE BUILDING? YEAH. 
          UH, PORTION OF THE CAPE 
          [01:25:01]
BUILDING WAS, I TOLD THE, UH, SO I WENT TO THE SIC MEETING FOR, FOR A RIVER. 
          AND, UH, APPARENTLY THE, THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR THEIR GARDEN HAS NEVER REALLY WORKED. 
          UH, AND KNOWING THAT WE HAVE CONTINGENCY LEFT FOR THAT, I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE, THE OPTIONS ARE TO, I WOULD RATHER NOT DO THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO CLOSE OUT 2019, BUT WE CAN ADDRESS THAT 'CAUSE WITH, UH, 8%. 
          8%, THAT'S NOT A, UM, YEAH. 
          I CAN ONLY IMAGINE A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THE IRRIGATION. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT AND, AND ADD THAT AS AN 8% PROJECT OR EVEN MAINTENANCE IF IT CAN BE HANDLED AS A MAINTENANCE PROJECT. 
          THEY'VE BEEN APPARENTLY SUBMITTING MAINTENANCE REQUESTS TO HAVE IT FIXED FOR YEARS. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'LL LOOK INTO IT. 
          AND I'LL SPEAK WITH ALEXANDER MARSHALL, I BELIEVE HE WAS AT THAT MEETING, AND HE, HE GAVE ME A BLURB ABOUT THAT ALSO. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING 2019? ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, YEAH, I DO. 
          UM, I THOUGHT WE, I THOUGHT I HAD AT CHANGE J DAVIS.

          OH, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          OKAY. 
          AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT ONE. 
          ACTUALLY MOVE TO THIS ONE. 
          SO, UH, ON THE 2023 BOND, BOND REFERENDUM, MONTHLY PROJECT UPDATES, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME QUICK HIGHLIGHTS. 
          MAY RIVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING RIGHT NOW TO GET THE SITE DEWATERED AND THE GRADING ONGOING FOR THE BUILDING PAD. 
          UH, THAT IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN NOVEMBER. 
          WE WILL BE READY FOR THE, HOWEVER, OR HOWEVER WE'LL BE READY FOR THE GROUNDBREAKING ON OCTOBER 20TH. 
          SO THAT WILL BE NEXT WEEK. 
          IT'S MONDAY, YEP. 
          FOUR O'CLOCK, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          'CAUSE THEN IT'LL SEGUE INTO THE, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL  COMMUNITY MEETING AFTERWARDS. 
          YES. 
          ALL YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, SO, UH, MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL, C-T-J-R-O-T-C, UH, THE ROUGH ENDS ARE PROGRESSING AND ACTUALLY ROUGH ENDS ARE COMPLETE THERE. 
          AS OF THE, UH, LATEST UPDATE THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE CONTRACTOR, THE CEILING GRID INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, AND OVERHEAD INSPECTIONS ARE TECHNICALLY COMPLETE IN THAT PLACE. 
          SO RIGHT NOW YOU'RE JUST WORKING, UH, FINISHES. 
          EVERYBODY'S JUST TRYING TO GET THAT BUILDING WRAPPED UP. 
          THE NEW BUILDING IS SCHEDULED TO BE TURNED OVER BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. 
          THEY'LL BE READY FOR THE KITS STARTING IN JANUARY, AND THEN THEY'RE, THE CONTRACTOR'S GOING TO MOVE INTO THE FACILITY, THE EXISTING FACILITY, TO RENOVATE, UH, THAT PORTION OF THE CTE. 
          SO LOTS GOING ON AT THAT FACILITY. 
          SO JUST, ROBIN SHOULD BE REACHING OUT TO YOU TO, WE ACTUALLY JUST MENTIONED TODAY ABOUT A RIBBON CUTTING SOMETIME IN DECEMBER FOR THE MAY RIVER CT BILL. 
          MM-HMM . 
          Y'ALL CAN LOOK FOR HER AND DATES THAT YOU MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. 
          YES. 
          , YOU GOTTA BE THERE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO 25TH IS NOT AN OPTION. 
           , UH, THE NEW EARLY LEARNING CENTER THAT WE'RE PROGRESSING THROUGH THE SCHEMATIC DESIGNS, ACTUALLY WE RECEIVED THOSE. 
          AND WE ARE WORKING ON PRICING WITH THE CONTRACTORS. 
          SO WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING PRIOR TO THANKSGIVING TO GET AN IDEA WHERE WE ARE COST-WISE, AT THAT FACILITY. 
          UH, HILTON HEAD, ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL, PHASE ONE THAT'S PROGRESSING. 
          BUT BRIEFLY AT THE CLOCK, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND THEIR GMP, WE GAVE THEM SOME COMMENTS TO BRING SOME OF THE COSTS DOWN ON THE FACILITY. 
          AND FROM THERE, WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE, IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW, THE END OF THE YEAR, BEGINNING OF NEXT IS WHEN WE'LL GET OTHER REVISIONS. 
          'CAUSE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DESIGN WORK THAT THE ARCHITECT HAS TO DO TO MEET SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE ISSUED TO BRING THE PROJECT BACK TO, UH, OR BUDGETS. 
          UM, BEAVER HIGH SCHOOL CT, WE'RE PROGRESSING ON THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS THAT'LL BE COMPLETE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          THE LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE ONGOING. 
          AND WE WILL HAVE THOSE, UH, BY NOVEMBER AT 50, THE 50% CDS, WHICH FROM THERE LEAPING INTO THE A HUNDRED PERCENT SHOULDN'T TAKE MUCH. 
          SO WE ARE LOOKING LIKE, AT THE END, TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR, WE SHOULD HAVE A COMPLETED DESIGN THAT THE CONTRACTOR WILL PRICE OUT. 
          AND WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR, UH, ON LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW, THAT PROJECT ON THE BUDGET IS TRENDING WHERE WE NEED IT TO BE. 
          SO WE ARE CURRENTLY, LIKE I SAID, JUST WAITING ON MORE ON THE REVISED PRICING ONCE THE CDS GET TURNED OVER. 
          UM, TECH WAREHOUSE, I MEAN, Y'ALL SEEN WHAT THE PROGRESS IS OUT THERE, SO NOT REALLY GONNA GET, UH, INTO THE BEATS WITH THAT PROJECT. 
          BUT IT'S ALSO TRENDING FOR THE END OF THIS YEAR TO, UH, GET IT, UH, WRAPPED UP. 
          PASTOR GORDON, I DID NOT HAVE IT IN THIS REPORT, BUT JJ DAVIS RIGHT NOW, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CIVIL ENGINEER ON PERMITTING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEY HAVE, UH, THE DESIGN, UH, DEVELOPMENT DRAWINGS THAT ARE BEING WORKED ON. 
          AND THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THAT PROJECT FINALIZED BY, OR THE DESIGNS FINALIZED BY NEXT, 
          [01:30:01]
BEFORE I WOULD SAY SPRING BREAK. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT WE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING PRICED OUT AND START GETTING GEARED UP TO GET THIS WORK ONGOING. 
          HOPEFULLY BY NEXT SUMMER. 
          JUST JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY ASKS, THAT'S, UM, ON THE FINANCIAL UPDATES FOR THE 2023 REFERENDUM. 
          HOLD ON. 
          JUST BEFORE YOU ON, YES. 
          UH, IS THE ENTRY WE DONE, UH, WHEN I CAME BACK IN, IT LOOKS ALMOST DONE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE'RE HOPING TO START USING IT THIS FRIDAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT MARK'S TRYING TO AIM FOR. 
          SO I MEAN, THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK, IT'LL OPEN UP MM-HMM . 
          SOME. 
          GREAT. 
          WE'RE MOVING FURNITURE IN INTO THE OFFICE SPACES AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN THIS WING. 
          SO EITHER THIS WEEK OR NEXT IT WILL MM-HMM . 
          GREAT. 
          AWESOME. 
          YEP. 
          UH, ON THE FINANCIAL UPDATE, PAYMENT AND COMMITTED FUNDS THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH WAS A HUN $186.69 MILLION. 
          THE REMAINING AVAILABLE FUNDS, WHICH INCLUDE THE CONTINGENCY WAS 252.35 MILLION. 
          UH, CONTINGENCY ACTIVITY AT THE END OF THE MONTH INCLUDED THE USE OF $462,000, GIVE OR TAKE. 
          AND THE RETURN OF, UH, OH, I APOLOGIZE. 
          I MIXED UP THE, THAT WAS THE RETURN, 462.6, UH, 0.5 K, AND IT WAS A USE OF 269.5 K. 
          THE CONTINGENCY REMAINING PROGRAM CONTINGENCY REMAINING AT THE END OF THE MONTH WAS 11.43 MILLION. 
          AND REGARDING THE ORIGINAL, THE PROGRAM LEVEL CONTINGENCIES, UH, ON AT THE PROJECT LEVEL, WE ARE LOOKING AT A REMAINING 13 POINT $56 MILLION. 
          SO WE STILL HAVE, UH, A WAYS TO GO. 
          AND JUST SO YOU ARE ALL AWARE, JUST BECAUSE OF WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE PROGRAM, I HAVE BEGUN, UH, FORECAST, UH, BASICALLY A CONTINGENCY ANALYSIS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE CONTINGENCY FOR THE PROGRAM IS GONNA MOVE THROUGHOUT THE PROJECTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO HOW ARE WE GONNA PUT HILTON HAT UNDER CONTRACT, HOW MUCH ARE WE GONNA USE, HOW MUCH IS LATEST ON GONNA USE. 
          SO WE'RE SEEING THE PROGRAM HOLISTICALLY SO THAT WE KNOW, KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA MAKE THESE DECISIONS GOING FORWARD. 
          UM, ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING 2023? HEARING NONE, I WILL MOVE ON TO THE 8%. 
          AND THE OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS, AS YOU HEARD IT, DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. 
          WE ARE LOOKING TO GET THE FRONT OPEN HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. 
          IF NOT, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE NEXT WEEK THAT WE, WE GOT THIS WRAPPED UP. 
          UH, ALL THE HVAC PROJECTS THAT WE HAD FROM THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR, UH, FY 26, THEY ARE, ALL THE UNITS ARE ALL IN PLACE NOW. 
          SO RIGHT NOW, JUST DOING SOME MINOR TWEAKS, BUT ALL THOSE PROJECTS ARE BASICALLY AT A POINT WHERE THE UNITS ARE FIRED UP AND PUMPING AIR. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT INCLUDES JJ DAVIS. 
          THERE WAS A U UH, SOME UNITS OUT THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          IT WAS ST. 
          HELENA THAT WE HAD SOME UNITS AS WELL, AND THEN WE HAD H MCCRACKEN, BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO THAT'S ALL ONGOING. 
          YOU, WE HAVE ONE IN, UM, AT, WELL BRANCH HIGH, WELL BRANCH, THAT ONE'S COMING. 
          UM, THERE'S SOME REPAIRS COMING. 
          THOSE AREN'T NEW REPLACEMENTS. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          THESE WERE REPLACED, MAN, NEW UNITS REPLACEMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO JJ DAVIS BE GOOD FOR THE WINTER. 
          YEAH, BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S MAINLY WHEN THEY WAS HAVING THE ISSUES OF WINTER TIME. 
          YEAH.

          YEAH. 
          THEY CAN MAKE THE NOVEMBER 4TH. 
          MM-HMM .

          OCTOBER 21ST. 
          ALL. 
          ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING CONSTRUCTION UPDATES? QUESTION? ANYBODY? THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL THANK YOU ALL, BRANDY. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          UH, LIKE TO MOVE FAST. 
          WE HAVE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO 
          [01:35:01]
TALK ABOUT HERE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA, I WAS NOT GONNA SAY TO MOVE FAST BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S  MAINTENANCE SYSTEM. 
          ALRIGHT, SO BEFORE, UH, THE REPORT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS THE CUSTODIAL MAINTENANCE REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. 
          I AM GOING TO PUSH THROUGH THE NORMAL DATA SETS THAT WE REPORT EVERY MONTH, REALLY HONE IN ON SOME NEW ADDITIONS TO THIS REPORT. 
          SO ON YOUR FIRST PAGE, WE'VE GOT OUR REPORT OF OUR INSPECTIONS THAT WE'VE COMPLETED FOR THE VENDOR AND THE BUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT INSPECTIONS. 
          I DO WANNA MAKE NOTE ON THIS PAGE THAT YOU WILL SEE THAT OUR AVERAGES FOR OUR INSPECTION SCORES ARE RELATIVELY LOWER, MUCH LOWER THAN THEY'VE BEEN PREVIOUSLY. 
          WE DID FIND, UM, SOME SOFTWARE OR SOME INSPECTION GLITCHES WHERE INDIVIDUALS WERE COMPLETING INSPECTIONS AND THEY WERE NOT COMPLETING THE INSPECTION IN THEIR ENTIRETY. 
          SO THEY WOULD HAVE 10 FIXTURES THAT WOULD POP AND THEY WOULD ONLY SCORE THE FIXTURES WITHIN THAT SPACE THAT WERE DEFICIENT AND NOT SCORE EVERYTHING. 
          SO WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT GIVES YOU YOUR 30, 40, 50% AND BRINGS YOUR AVERAGES WAY DOWN. 
          SO I JUST WANNA MAKE NOTE OF THAT. 
          WE'RE REACHING OUT TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS INSPECTORS AT SCHOOL LOCATIONS THAT ARE, ARE, ARE DOING THAT TO TRY TO GET MOMENTUM ON TURNING THAT CORNER ON THAT. 
          MOVING TO STAFFING PERCENTAGES, YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT ALL VENDORS MET THE, UM, GREATER THAN 90% OVERALL STAFFING PERCENTAGES. 
          WE DID NOT HAVE ANY DEFICIENCIES REPORTED FOR THIS MONTH. 
          UH, THE BUDD GROUP, UM, ACKNOWLEDGED AND HONORED, UM, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AT JJ DAVIS EARLY CHILDHOOD, AS WELL AS BEAUFORT HIGH INTERSTATE. 
          UM, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AWARDED, UH, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND EARLY CHILD, AND H HE MCCRACKEN, A BM DID AWARD EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. 
          THEY JUST DID NOT GIVE ME THEIRS IN TIME. 
          THAT WAS AT ADULT EDUCATION AND MC RILEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          YOU'LL SEE ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, WE HIGHLIGHTED, UH, PROJECT WORK DONE FOR EACH OF THOSE VENDORS AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE PHOTOS FOR THE MONTH. 
          SO, MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SECTION, WHICH WE WANNA SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME ON. 
          THIS IS THE CUSTODIAL UPDATE. 
          SO WE HAD TALKED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE ABOUT, UM, APPROACHING OUR ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW WITH CUSTODIAL. 
          SO IN THEIR CONTRACT, WE HAVE STRUCTURED IT, UM, THAT THEY DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN ANNUAL REVIEW PROCESS, UM, TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY NON-PERFORMING SCHOOLS. 
          SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IS WE, IN AUGUST, PUT A PRINCIPAL SURVEY OUT. 
          UM, WE'VE INCLUDED THE SURVEY QUESTIONS THAT WE GAVE TO THE PRINCIPALS, AS WELL AS THE RESPONSE OPTIONS FROM EXTREMELY SATISFIED TO, UM, DISSATISFIED. 
          SO WE PROVIDED THE SURVEY QUESTIONS. 
          UM, WE'VE ALSO, AS YOU GO DOWN THE PAGE, YOU'LL SEE THE SURVEY RESULTS FOR THE THREE, UM, VENDORS. 
          WHAT WE DID WAS WE TOOK THE OVERALL, UH, PERCENTAGE FROM THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION AND LOOKED AT THAT TO SEE WHERE THEY WOULD PLACE. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO TOOK THE AVERAGE OF QUESTION SIX THROUGH 12, THEIR CLEANLINESS LEVELS AND THOSE SPECIFIC A AREAS, AND WE AVERAGE THOSE. 
          SO WHAT YOU SEE IN RED IS IF A SCHOOL HIT BELOW AT AN 80% OR BELOW, IT FLAGS IT IN RED BECAUSE PART OF THEIR CONTRACT IS THEY HAVE TO PERFORM AT A STANDARD ANNUALLY WHEN WE EVALUATE THEM AT AN 80% OR, YOU KNOW, A ABOVE AN 80%. 
          SO AN 81% AND ABOVE. 
          SO ANYTHING AT 80% BELOW, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE RED, THE INFORMATION. 
          AND THAT'S THE PRINCIPAL SURVEY RESULTS. 
          THE INFORMATION TO THE RIGHT OF THAT WERE DATA SETS THAT I WANTED TO PROVIDE Y'ALL. 
          SO YOU COULD SEE JUST EXAMPLES OF WHAT OUR INSPECTION AVERAGES WERE TO DATE FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE SCHOOLS. 
          SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE TOOK THE PRINCIPAL SURVEYS AND WE, WE JUST APPLIED A NATURAL FUNNEL THERE. 
          SO WE LOOKED AT OUR PRINCIPAL SURVEY RESULTS WHEN WE SEE, WHEN WE SAW THE POPS OF RED, THOSE WERE THE SCHOOLS THAT REQUIRED FURTHER REVIEW. 
          WE LOOKED AT ALL SCHOOLS, BUT THOSE WERE THE SCHOOLS THAT WE REALLY HONED IN ON BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY PRINCIPALS ARE DISSATISFIED AND THEY'RE CONCERNED. 
          THAT THEN PUSHED US TO EVALUATE THE INSPECTION RESULTS AND THE AVERAGES THAT WE'VE COMPLETED INSPECTIONS. 
          AND THEN THE THIRD PAGE, WE MOVED TO THE NEXT PAGE. 
          WE MOVED TO THE TEACHER CLIMATE SURVEYS. 
          SO NOT ONLY HOW WELL ARE THESE VENDORS DOING WITH THEIR PRINCIPALS, HOW WELL ARE THEY DOING WITH THE INSPECTIONS WE'RE COMPLETING FROM THE DISTRICT? AND THEN HOW WELL DID THEY DO ON THE TEACHER CLIMATE SURVEY, WHICH WAS STATE, WHICH WAS THROUGH THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 
          UM, SO THE OUTCOME OF ALL THAT DATA CRUNCH AND ANALYSIS WAS WHERE WE CAME TO. 
          WE HAD, UM, TWO VENDORS THAT HAD NON-PERFORMING SCHOOLS. 
          UM, BOTH OF THOSE VENDORS WERE, UM, NOTIFIED THROUGH A NOTICE TO CURE 
          [01:40:01]
WITH OUR PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT. 
          A BM HAD SEVEN SCHOOLS UNDER THAT NON-PERFORMING UMBRELLA. 
          ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY, UM, QUALIFIED FOR TRANSFER EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1ST TO ANOTHER VENDOR. 
          SIX OF THEIR SCHOOLS ARE UNDER A PROBATIONARY PERIOD AND WILL BE REEVALUATED. 
          UM, AND THEN THE BUDD GROUP HAD THREE SCHOOLS THAT ARE UNDER THAT PROBATIONARY PERIOD. 
          SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN AT THIS POINT IS THESE VENDORS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED, UM, OBVIOUSLY THROUGH THE NOTICE TO CURE. 
          THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR REQUIREMENTS ARE, WHICH IS THEY'VE GOTTA GET THEIR SERVICE LEVELS UP. 
          AND IF THEY DO NOT GET THEIR SERVICE LEVELS UP OVER THIS PERIOD OF TIME, UM, PRINCIPAL SURVEYS FOR ONLY THOSE SCHOOLS IMPACTED WILL GO BACK OUT AT THE END OF NOVEMBER. 
          THOSE PRINCIPALS WILL BE RESURVEYED. 
          IN THE MEANWHILE, WE ARE DOING AND AMPING UP OUR INSPECTION NUMBERS FOR THOSE LOCATIONS. 
          AND BETWEEN THOSE TWO SETS OF DATA, IF, YOU KNOW, IF CONDITIONS DO NOT IMPROVE, THEN AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL, WE'LL HAVE THE CONVERSATION IN DECEMBER ABOUT HOW WE REASSIGN THOSE SCHOOLS TO, UM, OTHER VENDORS. 
          SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT CUSTODIAL? THAT WAS REALLY THE BIG BRENT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA ADD ANYTHING, ROBERT, FOR CUSTODIAL? NO, YOU GOT IT ALL. 
          SO OTHER THAN THIS WAS JUST OUR FIRST TIME DOING THIS, SO IT WAS, WE'VE KIND OF BEEN FEELING OUR WAY THROUGH THIS, BUT, UH, BRANDY'S DONE A GREAT JOB, YOU SEE IN MAKING IT REALLY DATA DRIVEN. 
          AND WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY PUSHBACK FROM ANY OF THE VENDORS ON WHAT THEY'VE RECEIVED OR HOW THEY'VE BEEN SCORED. 
          SO, UH, THAT'S GOOD. 
          YEAH, NO QUESTIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WE'LL MOVE ON TO MAINTENANCE. 
          UM, SO TOTAL WORK ORDERS WE'RE AT 8,825. 
          I THINK IF YOU'VE TOOK, IF YOU'VE HAD SOME TIME TO LOOK THROUGH THIS REPORT, YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOME PRETTY OBVIOUS THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN OUR TRANSITION PROCESS WITH MAINTENANCE. 
          UM, OUR TOTAL WORK ORDERS ARE OVER 8,000, BUT OUR WORK ORDERS IN PROGRESS ARE OVER 5,000. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE, WE, WE'VE GOT QUITE A BACKLOG GOING. 
          OUR COMPLETION, UM, AMOUNTS ARE DOWN IN SEPTEMBER, ALTHOUGH OUR INITIATED WORK ORDER PERCENTAGES DID INCREASE. 
          WE DID MOVING TO THE CRAFT CATEGORIES, WE DID HAVE, UM, OUR HVAC AND OUR PLUMBING WHERE OUR TWO TOP CRAFT CATEGORIES. 
          HILTON HAD ISLAND SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE ARTS. 
          UM, THEY HAD THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF WORK ORDERS AT 18 FOR HVAC CONCERNS. 
          THOSE WERE SPECIFIC TO THREE AREAS IN THAT, IN THAT, UM, SCHOOL, IT WAS TWO CLASSROOMS AND A TEACHER WORKROOM. 
          UH, BOTH OF THOSE CLASSROOMS, THEY HAD BEEN EVALUATED. 
          PORTABLES WERE PLACED IN THOSE SPACES AND THEY'RE BEING EVALUATED FOR POTENTIAL MOVEMENT. 
          FEW OUTSIDE VENDORS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING TO SOURCE REPAIRS. 
          UM, HILTON HEAD, UM, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAD THE HIGHEST PLUMBING WORK ORDERS. 
          AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN OUR NOTES HERE, UH, A LOT OF THOSE WERE BACKED UP, UH, DUE TO LEAKING SINKS AND BACKUPS AND SINKS, AS WELL AS FASTENING TOILETS AND, UH, SECURING FAUCETS. 
          THEN MOVING ON TO OUR NORTH OF THE BROAD SCHOOL WORK ORDERS ASSIGNED THE NORTH OF THE BROAD SECTION DID MAINTAIN A 50% REQUESTED AND COMPLETED PERCENTAGE WITHIN THE SAME MONTH WITH A AVERAGE, UH, DAYS TO WORK AND COMPLETE WORK ORDERS AT A 4.13 DAY AVERAGE. 
          SO THEY DID DECREASE THAT SOUTH OF ABROAD, WE HAD A DIP WITH A 41% COMPLETED WITHIN THE SAME MONTH AND REQUESTED WITH A DECREASE AS WELL ON THEIR AVERAGE COMPLETION AT A 3.36. 
          THE NEXT SECTION YOU'RE GONNA SEE IS OUR BLITZ. 
          WE DID DO A BLITZ AT HILTON HEAD, UM, ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE 32 WORK ORDERS, 20 WERE COMPLETED. 
          UM, AND THERE WERE VARIOUS THINGS THAT THE CREW, UM, FOCUSED ON AT THAT SCHOOL. 
          THIS IS JUST A HIGHLIGHT OF SOME OF, OF SOME OF THE I ITEMS THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE AT THAT SCHOOL. 
          SO, MOVING ON TO THE MAINTENANCE TRANSITION. 
          SO, UM, WE HAVE, AND WE'LL, WE'LL PUT MORE, I'LL PUT SOME MORE INFORMATION IN OCTOBER'S REPORT, BUT SODEXO WAS OUR VENDOR WHO WON OUR MAINTENANCE CONTRACT. 
          SO, UM, WE SPENT A LARGE PART, OR I HAVE BEEN SPENDING A LARGE PART OF WORKING WITH SODEXO TO GET THEM TRANSITIONED FOR A SUCCESSFUL TEN ONE START DATE WITH A NEW CONTRACT. 
          SODEXO DID BRING ON THEIR, UM, THEIR MAINTENANCE DIRECTOR, MR. LEON WRIGHT. 
          THEY BROUGHT HIM ON ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF EARLY, WHICH WAS GOOD. 
          AND HE SPENT SOME TIME WITH OUR DISTRICT OPERATION STAFF AS WELL AS THE MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT WAS IN PLACE OVER, UM, IN THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT TO JUST TRY TO GET AN IDEA OF WHERE THEY WERE AND WHERE WE NEEDED THEM TO BE. 
          UM, DURING THAT TIME, UH, SODEXO ALSO SCHEDULED THREE TRAINING SESSIONS. 
          SO DAY ONE, OCTOBER 1ST, WE HAD THREE SEPARATE TRAINING SESSIONS. 
          UM, I ATTENDED TWO, MR. 
          [01:45:01]
OTTING ATTENDED ANOTHER. 
          SO WE HAD DISTRICT REPRESENTATION THERE. 
          UM, AND THEY WERE REALLY DAY ONE TRAINING SESSIONS WITH THE EMPLOYEES TO SAY HE, HERE'S WHO WE ARE, HERE'S WHAT WE IN EXPECT. 
          UM, THEY DID SAFETY TRAINING DAY ONE. 
          UM, SO IT, IT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD THING. 
          I MEAN, IT IT HAS BEEN, IT HAS BEEN. 
          THEY, THEY DID REALLY WELL WITH THAT. 
          UM, SO THEIR CONTRACT DID START OCTOBER 1ST, SO WE'RE WHAT, 13 DAYS  IN THE CONTRACT. 
          UM, SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, MOVING TO OUR STAFFING, TYPICALLY WE PROVIDE THE COMMITTEE A STAFFING UPDATE. 
          WHAT WE'VE DECIDED TO DO AS WE'RE TRANSITIONING THROUGH THIS CONTRACT, OBVIOUSLY WE, THERE WERE EMPLOYEES THAT DIDN'T CROSS OVER WITH A NEW CONTRACT. 
          UM, THERE WERE EMPLOYEES, UM, THAT DECIDED ON THEIR OWN TERMS TO LEAVE. 
          UM, SO THERE'S A LOT OF INFLUX WITH STAFFING RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS JUST LEAVE THAT AS A PLACEHOLDER AND WE'LL START REPORTING IT ONCE WE GET SOME MOMENTUM ON THE CONTRACT. 
          I WILL SAY WE'VE GIVEN THEM A 90 DAY PERIOD OF TIME TO GET THEIR STAFFING IN LINE. 
          UM, THIS CONTRACT IS STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN A HUNDRED PERCENT STAFFING, AND IF THEY DON'T, THEY GET AUDITED MONTHLY. 
          THERE'S FINANCIAL PENALTIES. 
          SO THAT WILL NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL JANUARY 1ST. 
          SO JUST KNOW THAT WE'RE GONNA KEEP THIS AS A PLACEHOLDER, BUT THERE'S REALLY NOT A BENEFIT TO US FOR US TO PROVIDE THAT STAFFING. 
          SO WE'RE JUST GONNA KEEP THAT AS A PLACEHOLDER. 
          AND THEN MOVING ON AS THE VERY LAST PAGE, IT'S JUST RECOGNIZING SUCCESS. 
          AND WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT HILTON HEAD, MIDDLE SCHOOL, OUR, OUR FACILITIES WALK, AS WELL AS, UM, THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT. 
          YOU KNOW, EVEN WITH THE LIMITED STAFF, THEY STILL, I WILL SAY THEY STILL SHOW UP. 
          AND WHEN WE ASK THEM TO DO THINGS LIKE TEACHER OF THE YEAR AND, AND DISTRICT-WIDE EVENTS, THEY STILL SHOW UP AND, AND SUPPORT OUR DISTRICT AND, AND OUR STAFF WITH THOSE THINGS. 
          SO THAT CONCLUDES THE MAINTENANCE REPORT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MAINTENANCE, SPECIFICALLY SODEXO, THE TRANSITION? ANYTHING THAT Y'ALL HAVE, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          I'M UP NOW. 
          I WILL SAY, DON'T, GOSH MAN, YOU'RE GIVING ME SUCH CONFIDENCE. 
          I WILL SAY THIS WAS REQUESTED BY MR. SMITH. 
          UM, WE'LL BE GLAD TO GO THROUGH IT OR IF YOU'D LIKE US TO DO IT AT ANOTHER TIME. 
          UM, MAN. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, I'M INCLINED TO TO, TO PUT IT OFF, UH, JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT LIKE THAT IN ANOTHER MEETING. 
          THAT WAS EMBARRASSING. 
          THAT WAS EMBARRASSING. 
          AND I, I, I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF IT WAS ON ME, BUT I STILL DON'T WANT THAT KIND OF EMBARRASSMENT AGAIN. 
          HOWEVER, I WILL SAY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MR. SMITH HAS ASKED OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT AND NOT BEEN HERE FOR IT. 
          SO I, I DON'T, I I THINK WE'RE DIRECTLY ADDRESSING SOME OF HIS QUESTIONS, SO IT'D BE BENEFICIAL IF HE WAS HERE WHEN WE DID THAT. 
          I AGREE. 
          I JUST, UM, IT, IT ENABLES INDIVIDUALS TO CONTINUE TO ASK THINGS FOR YOU TO PRODUCE THINGS, UH, AND FOR YOU TO PRODUCE THEM AND THEM NOT BE HERE. 
          AND THEN WE MAKE CONCESSIONS FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL TO BE HERE. 
          JUST BECAUSE I, I, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I I'M TORN ABOUT THIS. 
          WHAT DOES THE COMMITTEE SUGGEST FOR I, I, I KNOW MY PERSONAL FEELING. 
          I KNOW WHAT I WANNA DO, BUT I, I, I DON'T THINK ROBIN NEED TO GO OVER IT IF HE'S NOT, BECAUSE IT IS GONNA COME UP AGAIN AND WE'D BE DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER, OVER AGAIN. 
          SO I JUST WAIT ON HIM. 
          THAT'S MY THOUGHT. 
          I SAY IF COULD GIVE US 32ND CAPSULE. 
          SO THE 32ND CAP NOW ACTUALLY THIS, WE KIND OF HAD FUN WITH THIS. 
          SOME COOL STUFF. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND ACTUALLY WE'RE, WE GOT SOME THINGS WE CAN FINE TUNE TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BETTER. 
          AND WE'VE NEVER PRESENTED THIS TOPIC TO THIS COMMITTEE. 
          SO THI THIS IS, IS, IS ACTUALLY IS A FUN TOPIC FOR US TO TALK ABOUT, BUT IT'S VERY COMPLICATED. 
          32ND, IT'S VERY COMPLICATED IN A BUILDING, THERE ARE NUMEROUS SYSTEMS AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE NUMEROUS SYSTEM HAS NUMEROUS CHOICES THAT YOU CAN MAKE. 
          AND REAL QUICK, 
          [01:50:01]
I TALK ABOUT A SCHOOL BUILDING IS A BOX AND YOU GET TO PUT WHAT'S IN THAT BOX AND, AND, UM, THERE ARE REASONS WHY YOU CHOOSE ONE THING OR ANOTHER. 
          AND A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO ON THE GUIDANCE WE'RE GIVEN FROM THE BOARD OR SUPERINTENDENT ON MAKING OKAY. 
          AND ON MONEY. 
          BUT THERE ARE SOME, YEAH, YEAH. 
          BUT THERE ARE SOME GUIDELINES IN TERMS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          FOR THIS SQUARE FOOTAGE. 
          WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT DECISIONS WE MAKE AND WHY WE KIND OF MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF GONNA BE THE, THE, THE, WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT. 
          BUT WE'LL HOLD OFF TO THE NEXT MEETING. 
          THAT'S MY 32ND SUMMARY WILL BE CONSIDERED A FUTURE TOPIC. 
          YES. 
          THAT'S WHAT THE COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE. 
          THAT IS WHAT WE WILL DO. 
          SO, UM, ROBIN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS TO COVER. 
          UH, SO THERE WAS PROPOSED TWO OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETINGS NEXT MONTH, NOVEMBER 6TH TO COVER EVERYTHING ELSE, WHICH MAY, ALL THE MEETING WOULD BE THE CONSTRUCTION. 
          THAT'D BE MY STUFF. 
          YEP. 
          WOULD BE YOUR STUFF. 
          AND THEN NOVEMBER 13TH TO COVER THE TWO OE HR STUFF. 
          YEP. 
          WHICH ARE TYPICALLY A PRETTY LONG MEETING ON THEIR OWN. 
          SO IT WOULD BE ONLY SEVEN. 
          AND THEN I THINK HR IS ONLY NINE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT IT'S ALL THURSDAY. 
          SIXTH AND THE WHAT DAY? 13TH MAJORITY. 
          YOU'RE NOT HERE AVAILABLE AT FIVE O'CLOCK? WE'RE NOT HERE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          CAROL JUST REMINDED ME, WE ARE NOT GONNA BE HERE NOVEMBER 6TH FAIL. 
          SO OUR OTHER DATE WAS LATER IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER THE 18TH. 
          YEAH. 
          THE OTHER DATE WE COULD DO AN 18TH. 
          YES. 
          THAT IS NOT A BOARD MEETING DATE BECAUSE WE HAVE A WORK SESSION ON THE 21ST. 
          18TH IS OKAY WITH ME. 
          SO THE SIXTH AND THE 18TH? NO, NO, NO. 
          SIXTH GOES AWAY. 
          OH, 13TH AND THE 18TH. 
          SORRY. 
          13TH AND THE 18TH, 13TH. 
          MAKE ME WITH YOU PLEASE. 
          13TH. 
          WE HAVE A PUBLIC MEETING. 
          WELL, 13TH IS AN HR MEETING. 
          LIKE WE, I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO COME TO THIS. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S, IT'S A COMPLETE HR MEETING. 
          SO THE 13TH WILL STAY THE TWO OES AND THEN WHAT WE WOULD COVER ON THE SIXTH WOULD, NORM WOULD BE WE DO ON THE 18TH AT FOUR 30 OR WE START AT FIVE. 
          SHOULD START AT FOUR 30. 
          UH, I SURE WE CAN TRY TO BE HERE FOUR 30. 
          OKAY. 
          YEP. 
          OKAY. 
          THEN ON THE 18TH WOULD BE A REGULAR OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING. 
          START THAT AT FIVE. 
          OH, SO THE 13TH OF FOUR 16TH AND THEN THE 18TH OF 1700. 
          GOT IT. 
          NOW THE OTHER MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE, IS THAT MR. FRAZIER? NO, MR. SMALL. 
          MR. OH. 
          SMALL SMALLS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          UH, ALL RIGHT. 
          SO THE 13TH AND THE 18TH. 
          SO LET IT BE WRITTEN SO IT'LL BE DONE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, UNLESS THERE'S ANY FU WELL, FUTURE TOPICS WE JUST ADD ANY OTHER FUTURE TOPICS? WELL, WE KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE OE SEVEN AND WE'RE GONNA, AND THAT COULD GO ON THE 13TH MEETING 'CAUSE IT DOES HAVE AN HR COMPONENT THAT, THAT WAS WHAT WAS GONNA SAY. 
          OKAY. 
          IT WAS THE TWO OF THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          MAYBE AFTER THE, AFTER THE MEETING ADJOURNS, UH, WE COULD HAVE A, A QUICK SESSION. 
          YEAH. 
          I DIDN'T RECALL. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, ALRIGHT.
