[00:00:10]
14TH MEETING OF THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE TO ORDER, UH, IF YOU COULD STAND FOR THE PLEDGE, PLEASE.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES, PARTS OF AMERICA AND THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY FOR ALL.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA TO YOUR GENDER.
WE MODIFY THE AGENDA A SECOND.
I SAID THAT WE MODIFIED THE AGENDA.
AND WELL, UH, UH, UH, WHEN I READ THE AGENDA, IT SAYS SENIOR STAFF JOBS CLASSIFICATION.
I SEND THE ACTION, THE AGENDA REQUESTING IN HAND, AND I'M NOT SURE.
I DON'T THINK THAT, THAT I WAS WONDERING WAS THAT MY JOB, MY AGENDA REQUEST, THAT IS YOUR AGENDA REQUEST.
AND TO ME THAT THAT'S NOT REALLY SERVING THE FULL, UH, MY, UH, GENDER REQUEST.
IT WAS MORE THAN SENIOR STAFF YOU CAN SERVE AND EXPAND UPON THEM WHEN WE GET TO THAT POINT.
THAT'S JUST A PLACE AS JUST A PLACE HOLDER FOR WHAT YOUR REQUEST WAS.
I JUST, I JUST SHORTENED THE TITLE.
I ALSO HAVE A CONCERN, UH, ON P H WHO WAS PRESENTING THAT.
UM, I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT IT THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK PRIOR TO THE PRESENTATION.
AND I BELIEVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION MAY INFLUENCE WHETHER WE CONTINUE TO HEAR THIS TODAY OR NOT.
SO DO YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH IT RIGHT NOW OR DO YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET TO THE ACTUALLY GET TO THE ITEM? THERE'S A CHANCE WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE IT FROM THE AGENDA.
MY QUESTION, UH, TO CANVAS IS, UH, IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE REPORT.
HOWEVER, THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE PE TALKS ABOUT CREATING A PROCESS TO HANDLE COMPLAINTS.
AND THERE IS, UH, I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE REPORT ABOUT THAT.
THIS WAS CERTAINLY A GEAR THAT THERE WAS SOME COMPLAINING, DONE, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY WITH A PANDEMIC AND SOME DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE RESULTING.
THE, AND I EXPECT THAT THE COMPLAINT TRAFFIC WAS RATHER HEAVY AND I DON'T CHECK IT.
I DON'T SAY ANYTHING IN THE REPORT ABOUT THAT.
I CONSIDER THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE PE, WHICH MEANS IT SHOULD, SHOULD'VE GOTTEN A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE REPORT.
SO I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT WE TABLE THIS UNTIL NEXT MONTH AND THE PEOPLE WHO PREPARE THIS REPORT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PROCESS FOR HANDLING COMPLAINTS AND COME BACK WITH A FULL, COMPREHENSIVE REPORT FOR US, BECAUSE I CAN'T VOTE FOR TODAY WITH IT MISSING THAT.
I MEAN, I'M, I'M HAPPY TO ADD THAT AND BRING IT BACK AT A LATER TIME AT THE NEXT MEETING.
SO I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WASTE YOUR TIME GOING THROUGH THE REST OF IT TODAY.
THEY WILL GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE AND REVEAL IT IN BALANCE.
OH, THAT WAS THE MOTION JOHN, TO REMOVE IT.
THERE WAS A MOTION TO REMOVE IT.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT WE GET IT HASN'T BEEN APPROVED YET, SO I SUPPOSE I COULD REMOVE IT.
WELL, I DON'T THINK WE CAN TABLE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY THERE YET.
TO APPROVE THE AGENDA WITH THE REMOVAL OF PE YES.
I THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.
SO, UH, I'LL GO AHEAD AND VOTE THAT SECOND DAY.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS.
NEXT IS THE APPROVAL OF OUR LAST, UH, SEPTEMBER 9TH COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
[00:05:01]
IT TO YOUR MOTION.UH, APPROVAL OF THE SEPTEMBER 9TH MINUTES MOVE.
WE ACCEPT THE MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 9TH.
NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR THREE OH THREE ZERO.
SO THAT CAKES TO THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.
UM, AND WE DID PUT A NOTE ON THERE FOR JUST THE YELLOW OR RED ITEMS SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF EXPEDITE THIS REPORT TODAY.
CAUSE WE HAVE FAIRLY LONG AGENDA.
ROBIN, ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING THAT ROBIN WHILE YOU'RE BRINGING THAT IN? I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE, UH, KEVIN KELLY THAT IS WITH US THIS EVENING.
HE'S FROM CVRE HEARING, AS YOU KNOW, ROB CORBIN, UM, WOULD JOIN ME IN THESE PRESENTATIONS.
UM, AND ROB CORBIN IS OUT, UH, WITH SOME MEDICAL ISSUES RIGHT NOW.
AND KEVIN KELLY HAS COME IN, UH, TO TAKE HIS PLACE, UH, FOR THE TIME BEING.
AND SO KEVIN KELLY WILL BE ASSISTING ME WITH THIS REPORT.
SO I'D JUST LIKE TO MAKE THAT INTRODUCTION.
SO THANK YOU, KEVIN, FOR JOINING US.
AND SO, UM, WE'RE GOING TO DO A QUICK, UH, CONSTRUCTION UPDATE, UH, STARTING WITH MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL.
UH, YOU SEE, UH, FROM WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THAT WE ARE UNDER BUDGET AND ON SCHEDULE ROBIN, IF YOU COULD SLIDE IT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE NUMBERS, THAT'S IT.
UM, UH, AS YOU SEE, THE TOTAL FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT WAS 15 MILLION, 691,000 ON COVERED AND PAID TO DATE 12 MILLION, 450,000 WITH PAID TO DATE 7 MILLION, 671,000.
PROJECT IS MOVING NICELY, UH, COSTS ARE ON SCHEDULE, WE'RE ON BUDGET AND ALL THAT IS IN LINE, UH, TO MOVE NICELY ALONG.
SO I WILL MOVE ON UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON MAY RIVER? NO, I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING JUST RED AND YELLOW.
UH, I WAS GOING TO GET, YES, WELL, OKAY.
UH, SUMMER UPDATES, UH, EVERYTHING IS GREEN.
UH, WE HAD YELLOWS BEFORE ON THE, IT THEY'VE ALL MOVED FROM A YELLOW TO GREEN.
UH, WE'VE GOTTEN THOSE BACK ON TRACK.
WE'RE EXPECTING, UH, PRICING INFORMATION IN FROM OUR CONTRACTOR AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
SO I WILL, ALL OUR SUMMER PROJECTS ARE ALL GREEN, SO WE'LL MOVE THROUGH THE SUMMER TO GET TO THE END.
LET'S SEE A YELLOW AT THE NEXT LAST PAGE.
OH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A BAD PAGE HERE.
UM, OH, OR IS IT JUST CATCHING UP? LET ME SEE.
UM, IS THIS THE ONE THAT CAME FROM BRANDY OR FROM MOLLY? UM, SO ALL RIGHT.
IF MOLLY IS ON MOLLY, CAN YOU CHECK AND SEE IF THAT OTHER PRESENTATION, UM, IF THAT COULD BE RELOADED OR WHAT THE ISSUE THERE IS SEVEN PAGES MISSING? YEAH, BUT WHAT I CAN SUMMARIZE IS THE YELLOW LIGHTS ARE GONNA BE AT WELL BRANCH L AND WELL BRANCH MIDDLES.
UM, THAT'S DUE TO THE REMEDIATION WORK THAT WE'RE HAVING TO DO THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION.
SO I WILL HOLD OFF ON THAT DISCUSSION.
UM, THE CONTINGENCY, KEVIN, DO YOU WANT TO, EVEN THOUGH IF WE DON'T HAVE THE PRESENTATION, ARE YOU ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE CONTINGENCY REPORT AND THE ITEMS ON THERE? SURE.
THE, UH, IT'S, IT WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE THAT WAS BROUGHT TO YOU, BUT THE ONLY THING IN THE, UH, PROJECT CONTINGENCY THAT'S ACTUALLY HAS ANY KIND OF A DIP INTUIT AS BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL.
AND THAT'S WHERE OSF FOUND A MAIN DISTRIBUTION PANEL BREAKER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
AND, UH, THE, UH, AMENDMENT IS WRITTEN FOR THOMPSON TURNER TO DO THAT.
IT WAS AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR, UH, COST ON THAT WAS RIGHT AT AROUND $91,000.
SO THAT'S MOVING FORWARD, BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY DIP INTO CON UH, CONSTRUCTION CONTINUED.
UM, I KNOW MOLLY WAS TRYING TO, UH, SEE IF SHE CAN GET THE PRESENTATION IN, UM,
[00:10:02]
OTHER ITEMS ON THE PRESENTATION.UH, KEVIN, CAN YOU SUMMARIZE THE END OF THE LAST FEW ITEMS? THE, UH, UH, THE ONLY OTHER YELLOW WE HAD IN HERE WAS AS, UH, ROBERT JUST EXPLAINED, WHICH IS, UH, WELL BRANCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND WELDON RANCH MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THERE WERE TWO SCHEDULES THAT ARE IT THAT A RIGHT CHOICE AND, UH, LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT WE'VE BELIEVED THAT WE'LL HAVE THOSE BACK ON TRACK AND TURNING GREEN BY THE TIME WE HAVE OUR NEXT MEETING BECAUSE OF THE CD REVIEW AND A COMMENT REVIEWS WERE ALL DONE THIS WEEK.
SO IF THERE AREN'T ANY, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS? I KNOW THAT WAS A FAST RUN THROUGH.
IF, IF WE CANNOT PULL UP THE OTHER SCREEN, UH, EITHER ROBERT OR MYSELF, WE CAN SHARE YOUR SCREEN TO TALK ABOUT THE, UH, WELL BRANCH ELEMENT.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
KEVIN, WHEN WE GET TO THAT ON THE AGENDA, I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, LADIES ISLAND AND, UH, RIGHT BRANCH, THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO BE FIXED THIS WEEK.
WERE THOSE THE TWO ITEMS THAT THEY MADE A COMMITMENT TO BE DONE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER TO GO GREEN BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER? YES.
AND THEY ARE NOW GREEN AT THE TIME THAT I DID THESE AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
I HAVE ONE QUESTION AND YOU'RE PROBABLY TIRED OF HEARING THIS ONE.
WHEN WILL WE DO THE LESSONS LEARNED THOUGH? SO I HAVE A GOOD ANSWER FOR YOU ON THAT ONE.
WE DID IT YESTERDAY AS A, AS ON OUR SIDE AS A, UH, GROUP, UM, ALL OUR PM'S.
WE ACTUALLY HAD IT HELD BY, UH, DAVID WAGNER, WHO IS WITH CVRE HEARING.
UM, AND HE, UM, WE DID AN INTERNAL LESSONS LEARNED, UM, AND ALSO THAT STARTING US OFF IN OUR PLANNING FOR THE WORK THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO BEGIN FOR NEXT SUMMER.
UM, WHEN WE GET TO THE FULL BOARD, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT WE DID LEARN, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE, THERE WERE A FEW, UH, UNDERRUNS AND A FEW OVERRUNS WHERE WE USE THE CONTINGENCY.
I'M SURE THAT WAS PART OF THE, PART OF THE LESSONS LEARNED.
SO, UM, FOR THE FULL BOARD, IF YOU COULD JUST KIND OF SUMMARIZE WHAT THOSE LESSONS LEARNED WERE WHEN IT GOES TO THE FULL BOARD, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE PREPARED, IF NOT THE NEXT, THE NEXT MEETING, BUT AT SOME POINT THE FULL BOARD WOULD, I I'M SURE.
AND WHAT WERE THE LESSONS? CAN I COMMENT A LITTLE BIT? YEAH.
UM, DAVID, I'M NOT SURE HOW THE PROTOCOL HERE WORKS, BUT WHEN WE DID THE LESSONS LEARNED YESTERDAY, THE WORLD, WE'LL BE DOING A REVIEW OF THE MEETING MINUTES WITH THAT, WITH ROBERT AND THE TEAM AGAIN.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD COMMIT OR IF ROBERT WOULD BE ABLE TO COMMIT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A FULL DESCRIPTION OF WHAT OUR LESSONS LEARNED IS, BUT WE PROBABLY GIVE AN OVERVIEW.
THAT'D BE, YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
AND THEN WHEN WE, WHEN WE FINALLY DO LOCK THEM DOWN AND EVERYBODY AGREES TO THE PROCESS, CHANGES THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD BE MORE ELABORATE, BUT, UM, I LOST MY CAR.
I, I JUST THINK THAT THE BOARD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WE'RE DOING THAT AND WE CAN EASILY GIVE A QUICK SUMMARY.
IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU, JOHN? OH, I, I AGREE.
I HAVE THE DOCUMENT AND RELOADED.
DO YOU STILL NEED ME TO GO THROUGH IT OR ARE WE DONE IF THE BOARD ED WANTS ANY MORE INFORMATION? I THINK YOU KIND OF WANTED A QUICK, SO IF YOU WANT ANY MORE DETAIL, I THINK WE'RE FINE.
AND THIS IS WHAT THE SUMMER PROJECTS, ANYTHING, ANYTHING ON THOSE PROJECTS? ANY QUESTIONS I WOULD KNOW WHERE THEY FINISHED WITH THE PLAYGROUND YET? I BELIEVE HE ANSWERED THAT.
[00:15:01]
UH, CAN YOU BRING THAT UP, ROBIN? IT WOULDN'T BE ON THAT SHEET AS FAR AS THE SUMMARY OF THE, UH, THAT'LL BE ON THE GROUP WITH, UH, UM, THOMPSON TURNER AND, UM,THOMPSON TURNER AND LSVP, HE SHOULD BE RIGHT HERE.
HELENA EARLY CHILDHOOD PLAYGROUND COMPLETE.
I JUST WANTED TO VERIFY THAT WAS THE CASE, BUT YES, PLAYGROUND IS COMPLETED.
AND HOW ABOUT THE PAINTING THAT WAS DONE AT LEAST THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL HE'LL GO UP.
PLEA LIAISON ON MIDDLE SCHOOL.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS HR, UM, EMPLOYEE CHILDCARE UPDATE.
EVERYONE JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE AS TO WHERE WE ALL WERE CHILDCARE.
I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT IT IS UP AND RUNNING AND WE ARE SERVICING AS OF TODAY, 473 CHILDREN THAT BELONG TO OUR STAFF IN 24 SCHOOLS.
WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH SOME KINKS, IRONING OUT SOME KINKS AND GETTING, UM, EVERYTHING WITH SYSTEMS IN PLACE SO THAT WE CAN MONITOR AND MANAGE, UM, TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, BUT IT IS RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
AND I'VE GOTTEN REPORTS BACK FROM PRINCIPALS THAT THE ONLY THING THEY MIGHT LIKE EVERY NIGHT THEY ARE LIKING AT EVERY NIGHT THEN IS MAYBE ONE OF THE, UM, CHILDCARE PROVIDERS, UM, DID NOT, WHAT'S ABSENT AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH HOW WE'RE GOING TO COVER AND SEND, UM, REPLACEMENTS FOR THOSE SPOTS, BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN WITHOUT SERVICE.
SO IT'S BEEN SERVICE IN ALL 24 SCHOOLS.
OUR HIGHEST AMOUNT OF STUDENTS IN ONE SCHOOL IS 76, AND THAT IS AT RIVER RIDGE ACADEMY.
AND THE NEXT IS 45 AT OAKAJEE ELEMENTARY.
AND EVERYTHING ELSE RUNS FROM FIVE CHILDREN, UM, DOWN TO, OR UP TO 76.
UM, MR. DIALING, THIS IS, THIS IS YOUR INTEREST.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THANK YOU, DAVID.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I THINK THAT THERE'S JUST A TREMENDOUS PROGRESSIVE ACTION BY THE DISTRICT.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE DISTRICT TO MAKE IT AS MUCH POSITIVE PUBLICITY TO THIS AS POSSIBLE.
I THINK THAT WE HAVE EASED THE BURDEN TREMENDOUSLY, UH, FOR OUR TEACHERS AND HAVE THEM.
UH, I RECALL WHEN I FIRST STARTED AT A COMPANY RIGHT AWAY, THEY HAD AN ILLNESS IN THE FAMILY AND, UM, I WAS REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT IT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE FOR TWO DAYS AND THE MANAGER SAID TO ME, LISTEN, YOU STAY HOME WHEN YOU HAVE TO, BECAUSE YOU CAN LIKE DO YOUR JOB.
IF YOU CAN GIVE IT YOUR FULL ATTENTION.
OUR TEACHERS NOW HAVE BEEN RELIEVED AT THE BURDEN TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN'S CHILDCARE.
AND I THINK THE FACT THAT WE DID IT, WE THINK DISTRICT IS A TREMENDOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT.
SO HATS OFF TO EVERYONE I AGREE ON.
AND GOING ALONG WITH THAT, UM, I'D LIKE TO GET THIS UPDATE, UM, ON, ON THE BULLET POINTS UNDER THE REPORT, UM, FIRST TUESDAY, SO THAT WE COULD EMPHASIZE THAT.
THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU WILL, YOU'RE ON MUTE.
SO BASICALLY YOU JUST PUSHING THIS TO THE FULL BOARD.
WELL, WE KNOW WE CAN CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT IT IF YOU WANT TO.
I JUST THINK IT'S AS GOING ALONG WITH WHAT JOHN SAID, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
I THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD HEAR THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE THING.
AND I THINK THE FULL BOARD SHOULD HEAR THIS IS A GOOD THING, SO, OKAY.
I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA UNDER THE OPERATIONS REPORT.
AND HAVE ALICE PREPARED TO GIVE THE SAME, THE SAME REPORT.
[00:20:01]
OKAY.LET'S DO WE HAVE A HAND RAISE AND WE HAVE A, UH, NOT THE GWAS HANDS RAISE DR.
I JUST WANT TO SAY ALSO THAT I'VE ALREADY RECEIVED A, UM, THANK YOU FROM STAFF ABOUT THE CHILDCARE.
THAT'S, THAT'S A BIG, BIG WIN BY THE DISTRICT AND ALL AROUND, AND IT WOULD ECHO, UH, WHAT, UH, MR. DOWLING AND, AND, UH, THE OTHERS HAVE SAID ALREADY ABOUT IT.
AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO S UH, GIVE MY, UH, WELL-WISHES TO ROB CORTLAND.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE, UH, UPDATE HR STORAGE OF COMPLAINTS, GRIEVANCES, ALAN, SUCH YOU AGAIN.
MR. SHERMAN HAVE MATT HUNT ON WITH ME BECAUSE HE WAS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS.
SO I'M GOING TO LET HIM JUST GIVE YOU, BECAUSE WE CAME TO YOU A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND, UM, YOU GAVE US SOME DIRECTIVES.
WE WENT BACK TO DO OUR, UM, CONTINUED DUE DILIGENCE, AND HE'S ON NOW TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE TO DATE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOOD AFTERNOON OPERATIONS COMMITTEE.
JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON OUR RFP FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCE INVESTIGATION TOOL, UH, THAT WE SHARED TWO WEEKS AGO.
UM, THE PROPOSALS CAME IN AND WERE REVIEWED BY A DIVERSE COMMITTEE.
AND UPON THE REVIEW OF THOSE, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THE WAY THAT THE SCOPE WAS WORDED, PRESENTED ITSELF AS MORE OF A BUSINESS SOLUTION.
AND SO THE VENDORS THAT REPLIED WITH PROPOSALS WHERE THE SOLUTIONS, UM, THEY WOULD BE ACTUALLY THE ONES DOING THE SOLUTION CREATION.
AND SO AS A RESULT, THE RANGE OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT, UM, TO IMPLEMENT THE SOLUTION WAS ANYWHERE FROM $100,000 TO $400,000.
AND THESE PROPOSALS ARE CERTAINLY COST PROHIBITIVE.
AND SO WANTING TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE DISTRICT FINANCES, THE COMMITTEE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GO BACK AND CONTINUE OUR MARKET RESEARCH.
UM, WE'RE GOING TO REFRAME THE SCOPE OF WORK IN AN EFFORT TO SECURE A MUCH LOWER BID WITH AN OFF THE SHELF PRODUCT THAT'S CUSTOMIZABLE.
ALL RIGHT, MR. DALE, I THINK THAT'S A SMART MOVE.
UH, THIS IS HARDLY OUT OF BOUNDS OR UNUSUAL.
I'M SURE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE'S DISTRICT BECAUSE TITLE NINE AFFECTS EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
SO, UH, I'M SURE THAT, WELL, I'M FAIRLY SURE THAT THERE'LL BE SOME OFF THE SHELF SOLUTIONS.
SO I THINK A SMART MOVE TO REFER TO THAT.
MR. SMITH, COULD YOU ELABORATE, UM, THE, THE PROCESS, THE PROCESS FOR ME ONE MORE TIME, WHICH PROCESSOR THE PROCESS ABOUT HOW YOU WENT ABOUT TO GET TO THE A HUNDRED THOUSAND TO $400,000? YES, SIR.
SO WE, WE DID, WHAT'S CALLED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS, IS OUR PROCUREMENT OFFICE.
UM, WE DREW UP A, UH, A LONG, UM, PROPOSAL OF WHAT KIND OF A PRODUCT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
AND ONE OF THE SECTIONS SECTION 3.0 TALKS ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THE WORK AND THE SPECIFICATIONS.
AND SO WE PUT THAT PROCESS OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOR PROPOSALS, AND TYPICALLY THAT'S A 30 DAY PROCESS UNLESS THE SUPERINTENDENT ALLOWS US TO FAST TRACK THAT, WHICH WOULD THEN SHORTEN THAT WINDOW TO 14 DAYS.
AND DURING THAT TIME VENDORS HAVE TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL, UM, ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES THAT THE DISTRICT ASKS FOR.
SO, UM, IF IT'S HARD AND, AND TYPICALLY WITH AN RFP, THERE ARE HARD COPIES ALONG WITH A THUMB DRIVE THAT NEEDS TO COME INTO THE DISTRICT.
AND THE COMPANIES THAT SUBMIT THOSE, UH, PROPOSALS, UH, COMMITTEE IS THEN FORMED.
AND THEN THERE IS A RATING SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE.
UM, IN THIS CASE, WE RECEIVED THREE DIFFERENT PROPOSALS AND THE COMMITTEE, ONCE WE OPENED THE ENVELOPES, WE LOOKED AT REVIEWED THE, UH, THE, THE, THE TOTAL COST OF IMPLEMENTATION AND THE ANNUAL, UM, FEES FOR MAINTENANCE, UM, ENDED UP THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED UP WITH THE A HUNDRED THOUSAND TO 400,000.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT MR. SMITH IS BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE NEEDED TO BUILD A BRAND NEW PROGRAM.
AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THE DISTRICT NEEDS TO DO.
WE, WE, WE ALREADY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT.
WE HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT VENDOR, THEN THAT WOULD DELIVER THOSE SERVICES AT A COST THAT IS GOING TO MAKE SENSE FOR EVERYBODY IN THE DISTRICT, BECAUSE IT IS TAXPAYER
[00:25:01]
MONEY.WE ARE DEALING WITH, UH, HIGHER.
I DO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, UH, THE, THE, THE QUESTION IS, I'M WONDERING WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE STAYING THAT, THAT THE DISTRICT IS LOOKING FOR AND APPLY IN THE PRIOR TWO? BECAUSE THAT, THAT, THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM COME COMES IN IN THE WORDING OF THAT, OF, UH, WHY, WHY IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD COST THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IT'S COSTING, BECAUSE I, I, YOU KNOW, I, I WANT TO THINK THAT THERE, THERE SHOULD BE A POSSIBLY A PROGRAM OUT THERE THAT SHOULD HAVE SOME OF THESE, UH, THESE, UM, THESE, UM, BASICALLY TH THE, THESE, THE, THE, UH, WHAT'S THE WORD, LET ME THINK ABOUT THE WORD CAPABILITIES.
THEY, IT GOES BACK SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS, CAPABILITIES THAT WE WOULD, THAT WE WOULD NEED.
UH, SO, SO, UH, I'M, I'M A LITTLE TAKEN BACK BY THAT A LITTLE BIT THAT WE CAN'T FIND, WE HAVE NOT FOUND ONE YET.
UM, I MEAN, UH, WHAT'S WHAT'S, WHAT WOULD IT BE? WHAT, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? AND THEN THEN HAVING, DIDN'T HAVING A REGULAR PROGRAM WITH FILES BEING SENT TO CERTAIN PEOPLE, WHAT'S THE CAPABILITIES BETWEEN THAT AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WILL TELL YOU, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY VENDORS THAT ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THAT KIND OF A PROPOSAL.
AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY THAT IS BECAUSE THE INITIAL PROPOSAL, THE SCOPE OF WORK, WE SAID A HUMAN RESOURCE CASE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE, AND THE BUZZWORDS THERE WOULD BE CASE MANAGEMENT.
SO WHEN VENDORS ARE SCROLLING THROUGH, UM, OPEN PUBLIC PROPOSALS, OPEN RFPS, WHEN THEY SEE CASE MANAGEMENT, THEY WILL BITE ON THAT.
AND SO THE PEOPLE THAT BIT ON THE CASE MANAGEMENT PORTION ARE THE ONES THAT ARE ACTUALLY CALLED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS.
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS ARE PEOPLE THAT WRITE AN ENTIRE PROGRAM.
AND SO WHAT WE'VE CHANGED THAT TOO, IS OUR CRITERIA IS GOING TO BE MORE EXCLUSIVE SO THAT IT MORE ACCURATELY DEPICTS WHAT IT IS WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS REQUIRES AN RFP, UH, I, I, THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS SHOULD BE SIMPLY A, UH, A PROGRAM PURCHASE, NOT, NOT, NOT AN RFP.
I'M, I'M, I'M CALM, TRYING TO, CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD NEED SOMEONE TO MANAGE THIS PROGRAM FOR US? AND WE HAVE HR DEPARTMENT? YES, SIR.
UM, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I'LL SAY, UH, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT, THAT IT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN RFP.
THE THRESHOLD FOR AN ISP IS $50,000.
UM, AND THE COMMITTEE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT THAT IS TOO MUCH MONEY.
AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHAT OUR GOAL IS, IS TO GO AND TRY TO RUN THIS THROUGH AN RFQ PROCESS.
THE REASON WHY YOU NEED A, UM, A VENDOR FOR THIS IS BECAUSE, UM, THEY, THEY DON'T HAVE, WE HAVE, AND WE HAVE TO GO TO RFQ IS BECAUSE THERE'S NO SOLE SOURCE PROVIDER.
AND SO WITHOUT A SOLE SOURCE PROVIDER, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW A PURE PYRAMID.
THAT BEING SAID, AS YOU KNOW, SIR, THE HR STAFF, UM, ACCORDING TO NATIONAL STAFFING FORMULA IS 17 PEOPLE UNDER STAFF.
AND THE SCOPE OF THIS IS NOT SUCH THAT WE CAN CREATE OUR OWN IN-HOUSE PROGRAMS. I MEAN, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE IN STAFF.
I MEAN, THE WORST THE WORK STILL HAS TO BE HAS TO BE DONE.
I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE IS, I MEAN, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT WHAT, WHAT, WHAT THAT, UH, I'LL DO A SPEC.
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT WOULD THAT REPORT CAME BACK AS, UM, I'M, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FUNCTION AND THAT WE GET THIS PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING, UH, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THAT THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, FOR, FOR, FOR THE, FOR THE, UH, UH, STAFF MEMBERS OF THE DISTRICT.
THAT, THAT, THAT'S MY CONCERN.
SO I UNDERSTAND, SIR, I'VE HEARD YOU, UM, THANK YOU.
I MISS MR. DALLIN'S YOUR HAND UP AGAIN? OKAY.
YEAH, I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION, BUT I'LL SHAVE IT.
UM, AND I ASSUME THAT TRAINING, UH, WOULD, WOULD BE PART OF THAT RFQ, RIGHT? YES, SIR.
MR. SRINAGAR, UM, NOT ONLY THAT, UM, IT'S THERE, THAT THEY ARE WITH YOU DURING AN IMPLEMENTATION PHASE AS WELL.
UM, THE OTHER, UH, THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO MENTION IS THAT WITH THE RFPS THAT CAME IN, UM, WE WERE LOOKING AT AN EIGHT MONTH IMPLEMENTATION PHASE AND THAT IS TOO LONG ON THE, OFF THE SHELF PRODUCTS.
UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT LESS THAN EIGHT AND AS ENTERED TO HONOR, UH, MR. DARLING'S VOCABULARY, WHICH I APPROVE OF, AND I REALLY LIKED IS THAT WE WILL GET COMMITMENTS SECURE.
I DO NOT SEE ANY OTHER HANDS UP, SO
[00:30:01]
THANK YOU.UH, AND I, UH, AGAIN, I BELIEVE WE SHOULD ALSO HAVE THIS AS A BULLET POINT ON OUR AGENDA, SO THE FULL BOARD CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO ROBIN, IF YOU'LL PUT THAT UNDER THE BULLET POINTS ALSO, THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEMS IS MR. SMITH'S ITEM.
AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS WAS, UM, THIS WAS JUST A SHORTHAND PLACEHOLDER, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK ANYBODY REALLY TRULY UNDERSTOOD, UM, MR. SMITH, WHAT, WHAT YOU WANTED.
SO IT'S YOUR FLOOR NOW TO, TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, WHAT MY EMAIL STATED WAS THAT, THAT, THAT, UM, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO OUR AGENDA FOR, TO FIND OUT WHICH STAFF MEMBERS ON THE SENIOR STAFF AND THE INTERNAL STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE CLASSIFIED AS CONFIDENTIAL.
FOR EXAMPLE, I BELIEVE THAT THE, THE BOARD EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT IS PROBABLY, I MEAN, IT'S PROBABLY, UH, HAS A CONFIDENTIAL, UH, CALCIFICATION.
AND I WAS WONDERING WOULD THE ASSISTANT, HOW THE CONFIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION, FOR EXAMPLE, AS WELL, RIGHT.
AND IT'S STILL, WHAT WAS THE PROCESS? RIGHT? WHEN I SENT THAT FORWARD, I THINK THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION AROUND WHAT THE CONFIDENTIAL, UM, UH, DESIGNATION WAS.
SO I'LL LET, UH, MS. WALTON DEAL WITH IT, YOU KNOW, EXPRESS WHAT OUR QUESTION IS IT, MR. SMITH, I, WHEN YOU SAY CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEE, TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE MEANING.
WHEN YOU SAY CONFIDENTIAL, ARE YOU CONFIDENTIAL CLEARANCE? AS IN, ARE THEY CERTIFIED TO LOOK AT COMPETENCY DOCUMENTS, THEY'VE SERVED THE WAIVER, THAT WHAT THEY SEE AS CONFIDENTIAL IN, UM, THEY UNDERSTAND IT, YOU KNOW, AND THERE, THERE ARE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE FOR THAT BECAUSE WE, WE SIGNED, WE SIGNED CONTRACTS AND WE DO DIFFERENT THINGS AND THINGS THAT ARE DEFINITELY THAT ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
UH, THEY DO, WE HAVE A PROCESS IN HERE.
AND IF WE DO WHO ALL IN THE DISTRICT HAS SIGNED THAT AND WHO ALL IS LISTED AS A CERTIFIED CONFIDENTIAL, UH, IF YOU'RE ASKING IF THE PERSON THAT WORKS AND ANYONE THAT WORKS IN MY OFFICE, ARE THEY CONFIDENTIAL? LEE CERTIFIED SIGNED OFF ON A DOCUMENT AND SCREENED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? NO.
UH, UH, YOU WANT ME TO READ TO YOU AGAIN, MS. WALTON? NO, NO, NO.
I'M TRYING TO CLARIFY WHAT YOU ARE ASKING ME TO ANSWER.
MY QUESTION IS WHO IN BUFORD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS A CLARENCE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION THAT, THAT WE DEAL WITH, WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT IS THE PROTOCOLS OF THAT? OKAY.
SO LET ME, LET ME USE, UH, SOMEONE AS AN EXAMPLE, IF SOMEONE IN MY DEPARTMENT WORKS IN BENEFITS, THAT IS A, THAT IS A POSITION THAT REQUIRES CONFIDENTIALITY, THAT EMPLOYEE KNOWS THAT THAT'S INFORMATION THAT COMES OUT OF THAT DEPARTMENT.
ANY INFORMATION THAT COMES OUT OF HR PERIOD IS CONFIDENTIAL.
IF YOU ARE ASKING, IF WE HAVE EMPLOYEES TO SIGN A CONFIDENTIALLY CONFIDENTIAL ALADY STATEMENT, WE DO NOT.
WE HAVE CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT SIGNED WHEN WE DO THINGS LIKE INTERVIEWS.
AND WHEN WE DO OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF EVERYDAY JOB SCOPE.
SO NO, WE DON'T HAVE EMPLOYEES SIGN CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENTS.
IT IS A PART OF THE JOB, AND IT IS UNDERSTOOD.
UH, AND HOW ABOUT ON SENIOR STAFF? SENIOR STAFF UNDERSTANDS THAT THAT'S A PART OF OUR JOB.
AND IN FACT, IT'S A PART OF OUR JOB DESCRIPTION, UNDERSTANDS CONFIDENTIALITY AND KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE CONFIDENTIAL.
AND DOES HE SPELL THAT OUT THERE AND SPECIFICALLY IN BLACK AND WHITE, IS IT IN WRITING? IT SHOULD BE ON JOB DESCRIPTION.
I WILL GET ONE OF THOSE JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND LET YOU SEE THAT.
SO A LOT REALLY, I SHOULD, I SHOULD SAY ADMINISTRATION PERIOD, UH, PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATION PERIOD.
CAUSE THEY CAN DEAL WITH DIFFERENT THINGS WITH KIDS, UM, AS WELL.
UM, AND, AND, AND WHO, WHO ELSE WOULD, WHERE WOULD THAT, WHAT WOULD THAT WOULD THAT, UM, WELL, IT WOULD HAVE A, WOULD HAVE A CONFIDENTIAL, UH, CLARENCE IF WE HAVE THEM, BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT WE DON'T HAVE ONE,
[00:35:01]
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.I'M, I'M, I'M, I'M KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THAT'S NOT CONCERN TO ME.
IS IT THE, AS I SAID, IT IS UNDERSTOOD IF YOU WORKING WITH STUDENTS, IF YOU WORK WITH ADULTS, IF YOU'RE WORKING WITH SOMEONE'S EMPLOYMENT, THAT IT'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
AND THERE ARE LAWS IN PLACE THAT ALSO DICTATE THE CONFIDENTIALITY PIECE.
YOU HAVE THE FERPA LAWS, YOU HAVE THE HIPAA LAWS, YOU HAVE, UM, LAWS THAT MANAGE AN ORGANIZATION THAT DEALS WITH INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR RIGHTS.
SO THEN THERE IS, WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY IN TERMS OF, UH, ANALOGOUS TO A SECURITY CLEARANCE, RIGHT.
UH, NOBODY IS CLEARED PER SE TO REVIEW CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
IF IT'S PART OF THEIR JOB, IT'S IN THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION.
IS THAT A FAIR SUMMATION? YES, IT IS.
NOW MY QUESTION IS THOUGH, DOES, WHEN YOU SAY, GETS UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION? WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, IS A CONFIDENTIAL, BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS IT IS, OR IS IT CONFIDENTIAL ONLY BECAUSE IT IS BACKED UP BY A LAW, MAKING IT CONFIDENTIAL.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU KNOW, YOU OFTEN SEE A STATEMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF AN EMAIL.
THAT IS NOT MAKING IT CONFIDENTIAL.
THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE, IT'S SOMETHING CONFIDENTIAL IS IF THERE'S A LAW THAT IT CANNOT BE DISCLOSED.
SO WE CAN'T SAY WE CAN'T ARBITRARILY ASSIGN THE CONFIDENTIAL LABEL TO INFORMATION THAT THERE'S NO LAW BACKING THAT UP.
IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
SO IS THERE ANYWHERE A LIST, A DEFINITION OF WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION THE DISTRICT DEALS WITH THAT IS CONFIDENTIAL? THAT, UH, IF IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THAT LIST, IT'S NOT CONFIDENTIAL.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT LISTS LIKE THAT EXIST.
SHOULD IT? UM, I WON'T SAY THAT IT SHOULD NOT EXIST.
THE REASON IF IT'S AT ALL LEVELS, I MEAN, WE DEAL WITH STUFF AT THE BOARD LEVEL THAT WE THINK IS CONFIDENTIAL AND IT'S NOT ON OCCASION.
UM, SO THERE, THERE HAS TO BE A GOOD, WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU SEE IT'S UNDERSTOOD, THERE HAS TO BE A COMMON UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT IS AND WHAT ISN'T CONFIDENTIAL AND DON'T ASSUMPTION AND NO ASSUMPTIONS MADE THAT SOMETHING IS CONFIDENTIAL.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU THIS, MR. MEDALLING IN HUMAN RESOURCES, INFORMATION THAT WE DEAL WITH, WE LOOK AT THE CONFIDENTIALITY PIECE AS, AND WE, IT TO THE FOYA LAW, WHAT IS THE PUBLIC ENTIRE WE ARE ENTITLED TO SEE? AND IF THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SEE IT, THEN IT IS CONFIDENTIAL.
IF THEY ARE, THEN IT IS NOT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND THAT INFORMATION CAN BE RELEASED.
SO, UM, DOES THAT COVER THE TOPIC FOR YOU? WELL, I THINK THIS SHOULD GO TO THE FULL BOARD, UH, MAYBE MAKE A MOTION OR WOULD YOU JUST GO, IT'S GOING TO BE A BULLET AS WELL.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT SHOULD GO THE, THE, THIS FULL CONVERSATION OR THE, THE, THE, THIS THE KNOW THE FULL CONVERSATION.
UM, OR YOU CAN PUT THAT AS A BULLET POINT THEN ROBIN, AND, UH, WE CAN REPEAT THIS CONVERSATION FOR THE FULL BOARD AND THAT, THAT PROBABLY WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU FEEL THAT, UH, THAT LIST SHOULD BE DEVELOPED.
THAT, THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE FINE.
UH, IF IT ISN'T TOO MUCH TROUBLE, IS THERE A LIST OR COULD THERE BE A LIST OF THE CURRENT JOB
[00:40:01]
DESCRIPTIONS, WHICH DO MENTION CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN THEM AND THOSE THAT DO NOT, I'M JUST TRYING, I'M STRUGGLING TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON WHAT WILL MR. SMITH IS ACTUALLY AFTER, UH, IF IT'S KNOWING WHO IS ENTITLED OR RESPONSIBLE TO LOOK AT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR ARE THERE PEOPLE WHO CANNOT LOOK AT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE JOB TITLES AND SAY, YES, THIS IS A GUESS, OR THIS IS A NOTE.IS THAT AN ACCURATE WAY OF PHRASING IT? YES.
MAJORITY OF THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID IS, IS, UH, IT'S, IT'S KIND OF ACCURATE.
MR. STRANGER, MAY I ASK A QUESTION? YES.
WHAT IS THE COMMITTEE'S EXPECTATION OF ME AND WHAT I NEED TO BRING IN THIS DISCUSSION? UM, UM, I'M, I'M KIND OF GUESSING, BUT I'M THINKING THAT WE WOULD REPEAT THIS CONVERSATION.
UM, I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT WILL'S ASKING FOR.
SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPEAT WHAT YOU'VE TOLD US, UH, IN ANSWER TO MR. SMITH'S QUESTIONS.
ALICE, COULD I MAKE A SUGGESTION, PLEASE? IF YOU CAME TO THE BOARD AND DEFINED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND DEFINED WHO AND WHO WAS NOT ENTITLED TO LOOK AT IT AND WHERE THAT DEFINITION EXISTS, ALLAH IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
THEN, AND THAT MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CONFIDENTIAL CLEARANCE.
WE DON'T CLEAR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
WE DO IT DEFACTO, BY THE WAY THEY JOB DESCRIPTION IS WRITTEN.
IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THAT, I THINK THAT WILL SOLVE ANY QUESTIONS.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT QUESTIONS ARE OUT THERE ON IT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AUTHORIZED CHAIN OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND THE GOSSIP MILL.
SO WE, I TH I, I THINK THAT ONE OF THE CONCERNS MAY BE THAT OCCASIONALLY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, NOT NECESSARILY AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL, BUT AT THE BUILDING LEVEL MAY LEAK AND BECOME MORE COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAN THEY SHOULD BE.
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS.
UM, LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS A PROJECT UPDATE ON THE COST OF THE WHEEL BRAND SCHOOL MOLD REMEDIATION, AND, UH, ROBERT.
SO I'M GOING TO BEGIN THIS CONVERSATION AND THEN I'M ON MY HAND IT OVER TO KEVIN KELLY.
I WANT TO REAL QUICK, JUST KIND OF DO A QUICK SUMMATION ON WHY THIS IS NEEDED.
I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE, HAVE HEARD US TALK ABOUT THIS BEFORE, SO I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME ON IT, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY, UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS SUMMER, WE WERE DOING AIR CONDITIONING WORK, UM, AT WELL BRANCH L AND WE'LL BRANCH MIDDLE.
ALONG WITH THAT EX AIR CONDITIONING REPLACEMENT WORK, WE WERE ALSO DOING A REFERENDUM WORK AS FAR AS INSTALLING SAFETY AND SECURITY DEVICES, AS PART OF THAT AIR CONDITION WORK.
IT WAS, UH, FOUND DURING THE DEMOLITION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING UNITS, THAT THERE WAS A MOLD OF CONCERN, UH, ENCAPSULATED IN THE WALL.
UM, FROM THAT WE STOPPED, UH, ALL WORK AND THEN STARTED DOING TESTING OF THE CONSTRUCTION AREA AND THE REST OF THE BUILDING.
UM, THERE WERE SEVERAL TEST RUNS THAT WE WENT THROUGH AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS THE TEST CAME UP POSITIVE FOR A MOLD RELATED TO A WET ENVIRONMENT IN AREAS WHERE CONSTRUCTION OCCURRED IN DEMOLITION HAD OCCURRED IN THE AREA WAS OPEN AND OTHER AREAS OF THE BUILDING THAT WAS NOT FOUND.
SO, UM, YES, UH, ROBIN, IF YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT DOCUMENT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT, BUT OTHER AREAS OF THE BUILDING THAT WAS NOT FOUND.
SO THERE WAS NOT A CONCERN IN THE OTHER AREAS OF THE BUILDING UPON INVESTIGATION OF, UM, THE ACTUAL WALL CAVITY.
IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WERE SOME CONSTRUCTION ISSUES WITH THAT WALL CAVITY.
AND THERE WERE ACTUALLY TWO, UM, ONE,
[00:45:01]
THE, THERE WAS NOT A SLEEVE OVER THE LOUVER INTAKE LOUVERS FOR AIR, SO THAT IT WAS OPEN TO THE CAVITY, UH, IN BETWEEN THE LOUVER AND THE ACTUAL AIR CONDITIONING UNIT ITSELF.AND IT WAS ALSO FOUND THAT THE OVERFLOW PAN OR THE CONDENSATE PAN AND THE OVERFLOW DRAIN FOR DISCHARGING TO THE WALL, BOTH OF THOSE FACTORS CAME, PLAYED INTO THE BALL, GOING INTO THE WALL CAVITY, AND THAT, UM, DID, UM, ALLOW A WET MODE TO OCCUR.
AND IT DID EAT AWAY A LOT OF THE, UH, FIBROUS MATERIALS SUCH AS PAPER AND WOOD IN THE AREA.
SO THAT'S KIND OF A QUICK SUMMATION OF WHAT'S OCCUR IN.
LET ME JUST SAY, AND WHAT WE DID AFTER WE STOPPED CONSTRUCTION WAS BROUGHT IN A REMEDIATION FIRM THAT THEN CAME UP WITH A REMEDIATION PLAN.
WE PUT A NEGATIVE PRESSURE ON THE BUILDING.
IN OTHER WORDS, WE SUCKED AIR INTO THE BUILDING INSTEAD OF, UH, PUSHING AIR OUT.
WE DID ALSO, UH, COORDINATE OFF THIS AREA.
SO IT WAS NOT, UH, ACCESSIBLE FROM THE REST OF THE BUILDING AND REMEDIATION WORK THEN BEGAN.
SO WITH THAT SUMMATION I'LL END AND HAND IT OVER TO KEVIN, BUT I'LL JUST STOP REAL QUICK AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GET TO THE COST AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO GOING ON.
THERE'S NOT KEVIN I'LL, I'LL HAND IT OVER TO YOU.
AND IF ROBIN, IF YOU COULD BRING UP THAT, UH, PDF, DO YOU HAVE THE PDF OF THE COMPLETED? IT'S CALLED 8% IT'S IN THERE, SO, OH, THERE IT IS.
I HAVE SLOT, CAN EVERYBODY SEE THE, UH, FOOTPRINT OF, UH, WELL BRANCH ELEMENTARY? YES.
SO JUST TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELVES WITH AND STUFF LIKE THAT, THE BLUE POT AND THE RED POT, THOSE ARE UNDER CONTRACT RIGHT NOW.
AND THE YELLOW POT IS ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE IN JUST A SECOND, WHEN WE WERE WAY AHEAD AND GO DOWN TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
WHERE THE CHAIR IS THAT IS POINTING OUT TO YOU.
THE LOUVER THAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT HERE IN JUST A SECOND, BUT THAT'S THE AREA THAT WILL BE AFFECTED FROM THE EXTERNAL PART OF THE BOOK.
CAN WE DROP DOWN ONE MORE? THIS IS A RENDERING OF A SUGGESTION ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO ALTER THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING FOR THOSE LOUVERS ARE, GO AHEAD AND DROP DOWN ONE MORE.
THIS IS ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, SELECTIVE OF COLORS.
IF YOU WANT TO CHOOSE SOME WING DISTRICT, THE DISTINCTIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO THEY GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO PUT UP KIND OF A OWNER'S SIGNATURE ON THE FACILITY SAYING THIS IS A BLUE WING OR RED WING, A YELLOW WING, THINGS LIKE THAT, GIVE YOU A KIND OF A LITTLE WHEEL TYPE OF THING.
THERE'S JUST ANOTHER PHOTO OF A DIFFERENT THING, ONE MORE PLACE.
AND THAT'S ANOTHER SHOWING OF THE DIFFERENTIATIONS OF THE COLORS, UH, DOWN TO THE NEXT ONE ON, UH, WELL BRANCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THE, UH, THE WORK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS NOT ONLY THE REMEDIATION OF THE BLUE AND THE RED POD, WHICH IS THE TWO THAT'S RIGHT NOW UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE 8%, THE, UH, AS WELL AS FUNDING.
THE REPLACEMENT OF INCLUDED IN THIS NUMBER BELOW IS, IS ADDING IN THE HVC REPLACEMENT IN THE YELLOW POT, THE, UH, AND FUNDING FOR THE EXTERIOR FACADE REPLACEMENT, FULL, UH, FUNDING FOR THE DRAINAGE AROUND THE SCHOOL, WHICH INCLUDES ENHANCING WHAT'S THERE.
NOW, AS FAR AS THE FRENCH DRAIN SYSTEM GOES, BUT IT ALSO TAKES IN TIES, YOUR GUTTER DOWNSPOUTS, AND YOUR HPAC CONDENSATE INTO A COLLECTION SYSTEM THAT STARTS AWAY FROM THE FACILITY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE, UH, EVALUATION OF A COST WAS ALSO THE SLAB ON GRADE, WHICH IS YOUR, UH, FLOORING SYSTEM.
THE, UH, A LOT OF THIS MOISTURE WAS ALSO CAUSED BY FLOODING IN THE AREA OF STUFF.
SO IN ORDER TO REPAIR AND REMEDIATE AND UPGRADE ALL OF HPAC SYSTEMS AND THE DAMAGES TO THE INTERIOR WALLS AND THE EXTERIOR LOUVERS, WE'RE LOOKING AT A TOTAL SCOPE OF 1.6 OR FIVE,
[00:50:02]
SAYS 1 MILLION, 645,000.A COUPLE OF ALTERNATIVES THAT YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT IS IF YOU REMOVE THE SCOPE FOR THE WORK RELATED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ACAC AND RE UH, THE MEDIATE MITIGATION ON THE YELLOW POT, THAT WOULD SAVE SUMMERS IN THE $705,000 RANGE, WHICH IS, UH, A DEDUCT FROM THE ONE POINT.
AND IF WE DID NOT DO THE TINY IN, ON THE SITE, WHICH, UH, IS YOUR OPTION, OF COURSE, UH, WHICH WOULD BE THE SITE DRAIN IS JUST NOT, THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER D SCOPE OF ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND.
SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SCOPE ON WELL-BRANDED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
LET ME JUST JUMP IN BEFORE I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS WE'RE REQUESTING THIS FOR 8% FUNDING, AS YOU KNOW, YOU'VE ALREADY FUNDED SUMMER 21 PROJECTS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT REQUESTING THIS TO COME OUT OF SUMMER 22.
SO AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE $20 MILLION APPROXIMATELY RIGHT NOW THAT WE SPEND IN SUMMER PROJECTS.
SO WE'RE ASKING YOU TO COMMIT THIS, UH, FUNDING NOW, UM, OUT OF SUMMER 22 PROJECTS, SO THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND BEGIN THIS WORK AND FINISH THIS WORK.
UM, SO JUST SO YOU KNOW, WHAT'S ALL IN THIS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE, THE BLUE POD, WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE WORK, THE REMEDIATION OF THE MOLD, THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE WALL, UM, CLEANING THAT UP THE, UH, ADDITIONAL WORK ON THE FACADE ITSELF, AND THEN THE RED POD, WE HAVE NOT BEGUN YET, BUT WE'RE ASSUMING TO FIND THE SAME THING.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME REMEDIATION WORK AND THE RED POD, AND THEN THAT SAME FACADE WORK ON, UH, THE OUTSIDE.
SO THAT THAT'S, WHAT'S ALL IN THIS NUMBER AND IS, UM, KEVIN SAID AS WELL, WE'RE REQUESTING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE YELLOW POD.
UM, WE DIDN'T ORIGINALLY HAVE THAT IN SCOPE.
THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR OF DOING PROJECTS, UH, IN THE AIR CONDITIONING AT WELL BRANCH L THAT LAST PHASE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE YELLOW, BUT NOW THAT WE'RE IN THIS AND KNOW THESE ISSUES, WE WE'D LIKE IF POSSIBLE TO GO AHEAD AND JUST KEEP MOVING THROUGH THIS BUILDING AND GET IT DONE NOW.
BUT IF THE BOARD FEELS LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S TOO MUCH, YOU WANT TO WAIT TILL LATER TO, UH, UH, PUT THAT MONEY FORWARD.
THAT THAT'S THE OPTION THAT WE'RE PUTTING HERE.
SO BEFORE WE MOVED TO WELL, BRANCH MIDDLE, WHY DON'T WE TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ANYBODY HAS ON WELL, BRANCH HILL, MR. DALEY, I'M SORRY.
UH, ROBERT, UM, WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY ARE WE GOING FOR 20, 22 MONEY? WHY DON'T WE MOVE SOMETHING OUT OF 21 AND FUND AND FUND AND FUND IT THAT WAY? WELL, THE REASON WHY WE'RE NOT DOING THAT IS BECAUSE, UM, THE BOARD'S ALREADY APPROVED THAT FUNDING AND BONDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THAT WORK.
SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN COMMITTED AND ALSO BONDS.
UM, SO THAT WOULD BE A LOT MESSIER, UM, AS IT'S A LOT CLEANER.
IF WE JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT YEAR WHERE NO FUNDS ARE COMMITTED AND GO AHEAD AND MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THAT 2022 PROJECT LIST.
SO WHEN YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT, YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT, OR YOU'RE GOING TO ASK THE BOARD, IF YOU CAN, WE HAVE TO ASK THE BOARD, IF WE CAN, RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE THAT, THAT, WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S MY POINT.
IS THAT, UM, WE BORROWING MONEY.
IF, IF, LIKE, LET'S JUST SAY THE BOARD DECIDES TO DO NONE OF THIS WORK, THEN WE PRETTY MUCH STOP LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS AND MOVE OUT OF THESE PROJECTS.
THE BOARD CAN ALSO DECIDE TO DO THIS WORK AND NOT DO SOMETHING ELSE, AS YOU SAY, IT'LL BE MESSY, BUT ALL EMERGENCY ROOMS ARE MESSY AND THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.
MR. SMITH, UH, I WAS GONNA ASK, UM, LAST TIME, UH, ONE TIME, UH, W UH, WE WERE IN THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, THEN WE FIND SOME MONEY, UH, PROBABLY WAS THAT A YEAR AGO? YEAH, GO AHEAD.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? WELL, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
WE WROTE, WE ROLLED THAT FORWARD TO REDUCE, UM, THE BOND REQUESTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
[00:55:02]
THAT WAS USED FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.AND WE, WE JUST, JUST THE AMOUNT THAT WE REQUESTED IN BONDS, BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING, WELL, DO WE HAVE, DO WE HAVE ANY, ANY OTHER, UH, EXCHANGE MONEY OUT THERE THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY PUT TOWARDS THIS PROJECT WILL BE, WOULD BE MY QUESTION.
NOW THAT MAY BE A QUESTION MORE FOR TANYA.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE COMMITTED, AND Y'ALL CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN A COMMITMENT YET OF THE FUNDS FROM THE SALE OF BOROUGHS AVENUE.
IS THAT CORRECT? I DON'T THINK THAT'S BEEN COMMITTED.
UM, SO THAT MONEY IS OUT THERE TO BE IN CAPITAL PROJECTS.
SO I WANT TO GET TANYA'S OPINION ON THAT, BUT THAT I BELIEVE THAT MONEY COULD BE OKAY.
AND I JUST ASK YOU, I'M JUST ASKING YOU, BECAUSE I REMEMBER I INVITED HIM, IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, I'M NOT SURE.
UM, I, TO SAY THAT, UH, THAT MRS. CROSBY ALLUDE TO THAT, SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU HAD THAT MONEY OUT THERE THE LAST TIME.
I BELIEVE SHE ALLUDED THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE MONEY, JUST YOU KNEW ABOUT THE MONEY POSSIBLY.
SO THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING YOU THAT.
DID YOU HAVE ANY POSSIBLY OUT THERE THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT, I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN REVERSED.
UM, WHAT THE SAVINGS WAS THAT TANYA FOUND WAS SOME OLD MONEY FROM, UH, I ACTUALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND EXACTLY.
SO IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I WAS AWARE OF THAT WAS AVAILABLE LAST TIME.
SO THAT WAS SOMETHING TANYA HAD TO FIND.
WELL, DAVE, THANKS FOR GIVING ME.
UM, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE HOW I WENT.
SO, LIKE I SAID, I JUST, ONE DAY I GET TO GET CLEAR AND CLEAR, UH, UNDERSTANDING AND, YOU KNOW, ONCE I ASK EVERY ONE OF ANY OF ANYONE, WHAT WAS THAT? NOT SURE WHAT THAT WAS.
ARE YOU DONE MR. SMITH? CAUSE I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, ROBERT, I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THAT WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THE REMEDIATION WORK.
AND OF COURSE MY QUESTION WOULD BE IF, IF WE'RE, IF WE'VE ALREADY STARTED IT OUT, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT? WELL, WE WERE WORKING UP TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAD IN 8% TO DO THE HVHC WORK.
SO WE HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE HPAC WORK.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE STOPPED AND THAT MONEY WENT FOR REMEDIATION.
SO, UM, WE'RE, WE'RE AT A POINT NOW WHERE WE NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO NUMBER ONE, COMPLETE THE HPAC WORK, AND THEN ALSO COMPLETE THE REMEDIATION WORK.
SO THIS, THIS REPRESENTS TO COMPLETE THE REMEDIATION WORK.
IT'S NOT REALLY THE TOTAL COST OF REMEDIATION.
WE'VE ALREADY ABSORBED SOME OF IT.
WELL, ALL THE TOTAL COSTS ARE MEDIATION IS IN THIS NOT MONEY.
WE'VE ABSORBED IT WITH OUR HPAC PROJECT.
YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE'RE ROBBING FROM PETER PLATE PAULA THERE WITH IT, THAT WOULD GO BACK TO FINISHING THE RE HVHC WORK.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I'M HAVING TROUBLE.
WE HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW FOR WE'RE DOING HPAC WORK IN THE BLUE POT AND ALSO SOME SECURITY AND SOME TECHNOLOGIES WORK, BUT THAT'S THIS RIGHT NOW, THE 8% FUNDING THAT'S IN PLACE FOR THE HPAC, OUR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PROTECT THE BUILDING ITSELF.
SO WE HAD TO STOP THE HPAC WORK AND MITIGATE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
SO WHAT WAS IN THE CONTRACT, THE FUNDING IS BEING UTILIZED TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGE THAT'S THERE AND STOP THE DAMAGE FROM CONTINUING.
AND WHEN YOU OPEN UP SOME OF THESE AREAS, UH, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS STILL MOISTURE COMING INTO THE BUILDING.
SO TO STOP THE 8% HDX WORK AND GO STRAIGHT INTO MITIGATION WAS THE SMART CHOICE ON OUR PART.
AND IT GIVES ROBERT, LIKE HE WAS SAYING THE OPPORTUNITY IF YOU GUYS DECIDED THIS WORK IS NON-REFUNDABLE NOT WORTH IT, IT'S, THERE'S A CUTOFF POINT WITHOUT GAINING ANY FUNDS TO THE CONTRACTOR.
AND I SENSE THAT THE MONEY HAD ALREADY BEEN MOVING.
I JUST WANT TO SURE THAT, THAT I UNDERSTOOD THE MOVEMENT AND THAT EXPLAINS IT.
AND I WOULD JUST SUGGEST WHEN WE PRESENT THIS TO THE FULL BOARD, THAT, THAT YOU EXPLAINED THAT BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S JUST AN OBVIOUS QUESTION.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER AND YOU HAVE AN ANSWER FOR IT.
SO YES, WE WERE JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVEN'T OVER OBLIGATED.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THAT WE UNDERSTOOD FIRST OF ALL, WHAT WAS THE FULL PRICE OF THE REMEDIATION AND AS, YEAH.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN US.
AND SO IF YOU TELL ME YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED, I NEED TO KNOW, WELL, JESUS' WORDS COME UP WITH THAT MONEY AND YOU GAVE
[01:00:01]
ME A GOOD LOGICAL ANSWER.I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THAT WE HAD THAT LOCKED DOWN BECAUSE I JUST THINK THAT'S AN OBVIOUS QUESTION.
SO RECOGNIZE THOUGH, UM, THE 1.6, FOUR FIVE DOES INCLUDE THAT SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN OH FIVE FOR THE YELLOW POD.
SO THERE ARE IMMEDIATE, YOU HAVE TO SUBTRACT THAT OUT TO GET TO THE COST OF THE REMEDIATE, THE TOTAL REMEDIATION PACKAGE FOR THE BLUE AND THE RED POTS.
I, YEAH, WITH THE YELLOW POT IN THERE.
I MEAN, MY HOPE WAS AT LEAST GET SOME COMMENTS.
NOW, IF Y'ALL WANTED TO MAKE A SUGGESTION FROM, AT A COMMITTEE ABOUT THIS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THAT THAT WAS BEFORE WE GO TO THE BOARD.
UM, WE'RE JUST GIVING YOU ALL THE OPPORTUNITY, YOU KNOW, GET, YOU KNOW, YOUR SUPPORT MOVING FORWARD WITH PICKING UP THE YELLOW POD TOO, OR NO, I ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT IT BECAUSE THAT'S AGAIN, ANOTHER LOGICAL.
AND I THINK THAT WAS ALREADY ALLUDED TO IN OUR LAST CONVERSATION WITH THE FULL BOARD.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE BUILDING? I MEAN, EVERY CHECK THAT, IN FACT, I THINK MAYBE MR. DALLIN HAD ASKED THAT QUESTION, WHAT, YOU KNOW, UM, SO WE, WE HAD TECH, WHAT WE'VE DONE IS TESTED THE AIR IN THE REST OF THE BUILDING AND ALL OF THE AIR IS CLEAN.
UM, WE DO NOT WANT TO DISTURB BECAUSE WHEN WE DISTURB, THAT'S WHEN WE CONTAMINATE THE AIR, WE'RE GOING TO GO IN ANTICIPATING DEFINE THE SAME THINGS.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO, THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO APPROACH IT NOW THAT WE FOUND IT IN THE, UH, IN THE BLUE.
I THINK THAT'S A REASONABLE ANTICIPATION, MR. DALEY.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER HANDS.
I THINK YOU'RE WELL PREPARED TO PRESENT THIS TO THE BOARD.
I THINK, I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE HELPED YOU ANTICIPATE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS MAY COME UP, SO WE HAVE SOME RANCH MIDDLE AS WELL.
UNDER W RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE A AND D WING, WHICH IS THE TWO TO THE YAZ, ALL FAMILIAR WITH YOUR FOOTPRINTS AND STUFF.
THE, UH, THE, THE, UH, THE HPAC AND REMEDIATION IN THE D WING IS ALSO GOING TO BE INCLUDED INTO THIS WITH THE D AND THE DNF IS THE, UH, BLUISH COLOR.
UH, THERE IS NO FACADE WORK ON THIS PARTICULAR FACILITIES.
IT DOES NOT HAVE ISSUES AS WHAT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAS.
HOWEVER, WE'RE THE BIGGER ISSUE WITH THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE, IS PICKING UP A D AND F WING.
SO I'M KIND OF NARROWING IT DOWN TO JUST TELLING YOU WHAT THE BIG NUMBER IS HERE.
AS FAR AS THE REMEDIATION AND STUFF GOES, THIS IS A LESSER EXTENT THAN WHAT THE, UH, WHAT, UH, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS.
HOWEVER, WHERE WE GOT THE BIGGER NUMBER, ADD THE TOTAL NUMBERS, 1.7 MILLION, BUT THE BIG ONE IS THE D AND E.
IF WE PICK UP ADDING THAT H VAC TO THIS PROJECT HOST IN THAT WING FOR DNI, THAT'S $130,000 PRICE TAG ON THAT.
AND THEN THE SCOPING OF THE DRAINAGE AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WHICH I DON'T RECOMMEND ON EITHER ONE OF THESE PROJECTS.
WE DO NOT DISCO OR REMOVE THE SCOPE OF YOUR SITE DRAINAGE ON THESE, BECAUSE THIS MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE BUILDING AND, UH, AND IT'S COMING IN BECAUSE OF THE WAY OUR DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS THERE.
AND JUST FROM LISTENING TO YOU GUYS, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WITH YOU.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS STRAIGHT UP, YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THIS STUFF, AND, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER WE GOT MOISTURE THAT GIVES US, UH, A PEST PROBLEM.
SO WE CAN STAY WITH THE KEEPING THAT SCOPE IN THERE, GET THE MOISTURE AWAY FROM THE BUILDING THAT GETS THE CHANCES OF, UH, TERMITES AND STUFF.
I HATE THEM WORDS, BUT THEY'RE OUR, WE, WE GOT THEM SOMEWHERE.
DOES THIS ONE MAKE SENSE, MR. DOWLING? ANYTHING? NOPE.
[01:05:01]
THE ADDING INTO IT, THE DNF WANG.I HONESTLY THINK THAT'S A FULL BOARD DISCUSSION BOARD DISCUSSION, RIGHT? I MEAN, MY COMMENT BE, WHY WOULDN'T WE DO IT AND DO IT RIGHT? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT.
THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT DISCRIMINATION.
BIGGEST THING ON THE, BOTH OF THEM IS AS YOU YOU'LL SAVE A LITTLE BIT UNDER THE GENERAL CONDITIONS AND YOUR, UH, MOBILIZATION AND STUFF, SO YOU CAN GO GET HER DONE ONCE, SAVE A LITTLE MONEY AND, AND, AND, AND NO, GET A TWIST.
I DO AGREE THAT THE, JUST TO DO IT RIGHT THE CORRECT WAY, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT A, A MISSING, UH, COMMUNICATION THAT THIS COMMITTEE GAVE A OKAY.
TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT WOULD BE THAT, THAT'S MY ONLY DILEMMA HERE.
I DO AGREE, BUT I JUST DON'T THINK THAT I KNOW THAT THIS, THAT THIS COMMITTEE DOES NOT HAVE THE, UH, THE AUTHORITY OR THE AUTONOMY TO MAKE THAT DECISION AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, BUT WHY FOR THE SUPPORT TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT CORRECTLY RIGHT NOW? YES, I WOULD.
ALL RIGHT, ROBIN, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SEPARATE AGENDA ITEM.
THIS IS NOT UNDER THE COMMITTEE REPORT, CORRECT? CORRECT.
CAUSE I, I, WE MADE IT AS BOARD BUSINESS JUST BECAUSE WE DO THAT.
IS THERE ANY OTHER INFORMATION YOU THINK, UH, YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN SEEING, OR IS THIS PRESENTATION WE JUST GAVE SUFFICIENT FOR A BOARD PRESENTATION OR TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS? UH, ROBERT, I WOULD, I WOULD CERTAINLY GIVE TANYA RIGHT HEADS UP THAT, UH, THE QUESTION OF FUNDING THERE'S GOING TO COME UP.
I ASKED MR. CAMPBELL BEING THAT HE'S ON THERE ON THE LINE.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT, ANYTHING THAT HE WAS THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS CONVERSATION? IF THAT'S FINE, SHARON, UM, AUGUST BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING, RIGHT.
EVERYTHING I SEE RIGHT NOW, THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.
WE HAVE, WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEY DISCUSS THIS.
SO I'M LOOKING TO GO FROM THERE.
THE NEXT ONE, I, ROBERT IS ALSO YOURS, UM, REQUEST FROM YOU FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND SIC TO NAME THE BHS TRACK, UM, FROM KIND OF GUESTS AND WHAT THEY WANT TO NAME IT, BUT IT'S YOUR, IT'S, HERE'S THE PRESENT.
BUT, UM, WHAT I AM DOING IS JUST KIND OF FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES OF AT LEAST THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULE.
AND UNDER THAT, UH, SECTION FIVE IS THE NAMING OF ADJUNCT FACILITIES.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE BROUGHT THIS IN FRONT OF THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE BEFORE, WHEN WE RENAMED OUR, WE GAVE A NAME TO THE BATTER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL STAGE.
UM, NOW THIS IS THE SIC IS ASKING FOR JUST THE NAMING OF THE TRACK, NOT THE FIELD, BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY, UH, A NAME, THE FIELD, THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULE RIGHT NOW JUST SAYS THAT THE, UH, NAMING OF ADJUNCT FACILITIES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD.
UM, THEY MAY BE NAMED IN HONOR OF WORTHY INDIVIDUAL LIVING OR DECEASED ORGANIZATIONS OR BUSINESSES.
WHO'VE MADE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE STUDENTS FOR NOT LESS THAN 15 YEARS.
AND THIS INDIVIDUAL FAR EXCEEDS THAT 15 YEAR MARK, UM, REQUEST, UM, OF THE NAMING OF THE, UH, FACILITIES WILL BE MADE BY THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL.
UM, AND IT HAS TO BE ENDORSED BY AT LEAST TWO THIRDS VOTE OF THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCIL.
AND THEN THE LAST THING, UM, ADJUNCT FACILITIES MAY BE NAMED IN RECOGNITION, UM, PROVIDED THAT ANY, AND ALL TERMS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE IN ADVANCE IN WRITING APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE DONOR'S CONTINUED GOOD STANDING IN THE COMMUNITY THAT DETERMINATION OF GOOD STANDING WILL BE THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD.
AND THEN THE BOARD MAY CHOOSE TO CONSIDER THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNSEL'S REQUESTS WITHOUT FURTHER COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE GUIDANCE I'VE GONE UNDER.
UM, ROBIN, ARE YOU ABLE TO BRING UP THAT LETTER FROM THE SIC OR DO I NEED TO BRING IT UP? YOU NEED TO BRING IT UP.
CAN YOU, UH, THAT SHARING SO YOU CAN SHARE, OKAY.
I SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS PARTY UP.
[01:10:04]
GREEN, A LITTLE GRAY SQUARE.ARE YOU, CAN YOU SEE THE LETTER NOW? SO THERE IT IS.
SO THE REQUEST FROM THE SIC IS, AND YOU CAN READ IT RIGHT THERE IS THEY'RE REQUESTING THAT THE BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC TRACK ME NAMED THE HERBERT NATHANIEL GLAZE TRACK AND HONOR MR. HERBERT GLAZE.
UM, MR. GLAZE HAS BEEN AN EDUCATOR IN BEAVER COUNTY FOR MORE THAN 48 YEARS.
I BELIEVE HE IS THE LONGEST SERVING EMPLOYEE OF THE DISTRICT.
UM, AT LEAST I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S COMPLETELY TRUE, BUT I'LL ASK, IS THAT A TRUE STATEMENT? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S COMPLETELY TRUE.
I THINK WE MIGHT'VE HAD A 50 YEAR.
STILL, CURRENTLY, I BELIEVE SHE RETIRED LAST YEAR, SO HE MAY BE THE LONG, WELL HE'S UP THERE.
UM, AND IS NOMINATED 16 TIMES AS COACH OF THE YEAR.
UM, BOTH REGIONALLY AND STATEWIDE HAS BEEN INDUCTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA, ATHLETIC COACHES HALL OF FAME.
IN 2006, YOU CAN READ THE REST OF THIS.
UM, IT WAS UNANIMOUS AS FAR AS THE VOTE FROM THE SIC COUNCIL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE MR. CHAIR.
NOW I MOVED THAT THE COMMITTEE FORWARD WITH A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL BOARD, THE NAMING OF THE BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL TRACK IN HONOR OF MR. HERBERT GLACIER.
YEAH, I WILL SECOND THAT I'M GOING TO HIT THAT.
STOP YOU FOR SHARING SO THAT I CAN GET TO THE MOTION.
UM, MR. DARLING, YOU'RE MOVING TO RECOMMEND TO THE FULL BOARD FORWARD THE RECOMMENDATION TO FORWARD THE RECOMMENDATION FORWARD A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD REGARDING THE NAMING OF THE BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND ON THE ROOF.
MR. GLAZE, THE FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL BOARD, THE NAMING OF THE BEEF FOR HIGH SCHOOL TRACK.
DID YOU SECOND THE MOTION? YES, HE DID.
I'M NOT NATIONAL ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
AND, UH, ROBERT WE'VE, WE'VE SATISFIED ALL OF THE PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS, CORRECT? WELL, I BELIEVE THE BOARD IS GOOD.
YOUR RECOMMENDATION WILL GO TO THE BOARD.
AND THEN THE BOARD WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
I WILL, I WILL LET THE SIC CHAIRMAN KNOW.
AND, UM, AND MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE, I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE IT TO HAVE MR. BLAZE THERE AS WELL.
SEE ANY REASON NOT TO ALSO, DOES THIS HAVE TO BE RUN THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION AT ANY AT ANY POINT OR NO? IT'S UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD.
I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION IS IN SUPPORT
[01:15:01]
OF THIS.I'M TALKING ABOUT DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT.
I MEAN, AS THE, UH, AR SAYS IT'S UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD.
SO, UM, THIS WOULD COME UNDER BOARD BUSINESS, I BELIEVE.
OR WE WOULD PUT IT ON THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
I'M NOT SURE WHICH WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE, BUT DO YOU WANT IT TO COME OUT OF COMMITTEE UNDER YOUR REPORT? AND THEN YEAH, SINCE WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION, THAT SEEMS LIKE THE BEST PLACE IS THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PS AND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU RECOMMEND COMING OUT OF COMMITTEE THAT THE FULL BOARD HAS DONE.
AREN'T ALWAYS GOOD TO BE CONSISTENT.
I WOULD SAY, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT TO KIND OF KEEP THAT SOMEWHAT OF A SURPRISE.
IF YOU JUST DON'T PUT THE NAME ON THERE.
I WON'T PUT THE NAME ON THERE.
NOT THAT IT CAN BE A SURPRISE, I MEAN, BUT THIS IS GOING OUT ON YOU.
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT, WE CAN MOVE TO THE NEXT TOPIC.
UM, THE SUMMER PROJECT SELECTION PROCESS.
AND, UM, THIS WAS A MR. SMITH REQUEST.
SO IF YOU WANT TO ELABORATE ON THAT MR. SMITH, WE CAN MAKE SURE WE HIT THE TARGET IS NEEDED IN HIS VIDEOS, NOT ON YEAH, I'M HERE.
AND WHAT WAS, W COULD YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY? WELL, YOU WANTED TO REVIEW THE SUMMER PROJECT SELECTION PROCESS THAT, AND THAT, THAT WAS WHAT I JOTTED DOWN IN MY NOTES.
UM, SUCH AS, UH, WHEN SUMMER PROJECTS GO OUT, I JUST WANT, I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT, WHAT WAS THE PROCESS? AND, UH, ONE, ONCE THE PROJECT IS DONE, THEN, UM, IF ANYTHING COMES UP WITH THE PREP, IF ANYTHING COMES UP, WHEN THERE, WHEN THERE ARE PROBLEMS AT THE PROJECT, THEN HOW DOES THAT PROCESS WORKS? WHO MAKES DECISIONS SEVERAL QUESTIONS THERE? UM, LET'S START.
SO DO YOU WANT, I COULD GO INTO A WHOLE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS OF HOW PROJECTS ARE SELECTED, AND THEN WE CAN ALSO GO TO THE DESCRIPTION ON WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S A PROBLEM ON THE PROJECT.
UM, IF A PROBLEM COMES UP ON THE PROJECT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, IT'S ALREADY BEEN SELECTED.
SO I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT FITS MR. SCHMIDT'S REQUEST.
AND I CERTAINLY APOLOGIZE FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING YOUR TARGET, MR. SMITH.
UM, I SHOULD RENAME THIS FOR OUR NEXT MEETING SUMMER PROJECT ISSUES.
IF THAT'S WHAT IT IS, YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT THE PROCESS AS WELL.
I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THIS LITTLE LINE US UP FOR THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE NEXT YEAR ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO SELECT THE PROJECTS.
UM, WE'VE DONE IT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
UM, AS YOU KNOW, IN THE LATE END OF THE YEAR, I DO COME TO THE BOARD WITH THE TEN-YEAR PLAN.
UM, WE'RE GOING TO BE USUALLY IT'S IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, UH, THIS YEAR, WE'RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE LATER, UH, PROBABLY DECEMBER, JANUARY, JUST BECAUSE WE HAD A LATE START.
AND SO OUR 45 DAY COUNT IS GOING TO BE, UM, LATER THAN IT TYPICALLY IS.
UM, SO WHEN I COME IN WITH THE TEN-YEAR PLAN THAT HAS OF COURSE PROJECTS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR, UM, AND USUALLY IT'S WELL ABOVE THE $20 MILLION RANGE.
SO THEN ABOUT APRIL, I COME TO THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, UH, UPCOMING YEAR'S PROJECT LIST AND ASK, HOW DO WE WANT TO WHITTLE THAT DOWN? BECAUSE LET'S JUST SAY IT'S 35 MILLION.
IT NEEDS TO BE WHITTLED DOWN TO 20.
WE'VE DONE IT OVER THE LAST YEAR, TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.
UM, THE YEAR PRIOR TO LAST, WE WORKED THROUGH THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE AND I ASKED, UM, THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO, TO MAKE SELECTIONS OR ASK QUESTIONS.
AND WE, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH AND WE WHITTLED IT DOWN UNTIL WE GOT DOWN TO THE 20 MILLION LAST YEAR.
UM, I WAS REQUESTED TO, UH, WHITTLE IT DOWN AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS.
AND I THINK I GOT, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T GET IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20 MILLION, BUT I GAVE YOU OPTIONS ON HOW, WHAT MY SUGGESTIONS WERE AND WHAT SOME OF THE OPTIONS WERE ON THE COMMITTEE COMMITTEE THEN WHITTLED IT DOWN TO THE $20 MILLION
[01:20:01]
MARK.AND THEN WE PRESENTED THAT TO THE FULL BOARD.
UM, I AM COMPLETELY IN FAVOR OF THE, UH, PROCESS OF HAVING THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MAKE SUGGESTIONS AND WILLING AND DOWN.
IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER, BUT I'M, UH, I'M COMPLETELY IN FAVOR OF THAT.
I KNOW THAT THERE WERE SOME, THERE IS SOME PAIN IN DOING THAT, THE BENEFIT FOR THE COMMITTEE AND PUTTING THAT ON ME, UM, BECAUSE IN THAT PROCESS, YOU DO HAVE TO SAY NO TO PROJECTS THAT ARE PROBABLY NEEDED, AND THAT'S NOT FUN FOR ANYBODY, WHETHER IT'S YOU OR ME.
UM, THAT'S WHY I PREFER IT TO BE THAT BURDEN TO BE ON YOU.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME IN THE COMMITTEE THAT MAY RATHER ME HELP ASSIST WHITTLING DOWN THOSE PROJECTS.
SO THOSE ARE THE TWO WAYS WE'VE DONE IT.
AND I'LL UP TO THE COMMITTEE ON HOW YOU WANT ME TO PROCEED THIS YEAR AND BRINGING IT TO YOU AND WHITTLING THAT LIST DOWN.
UM, THE COMPOSITION OR THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE FOR NEXT YEAR'S PROCESS WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN IT IS NOW.
I DON'T THINK I DON'T WANT TO VOTE ON OR SUGGEST WHAT PROCESS YOU'RE GOING TO USE NEXT YEAR.
WELL, THERE WAS NO REASON I COULDN'T LET THE FUTURE COMMITTEE KNOW WHAT THIS COMMITTEE SUGGESTED, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT COMMITTEE WILL THEN MAKE THAT CHOICE.
MY QUESTION IS FOR THE PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT DONE, WHERE DO THEY GO AT? WHAT, WHAT BOX DO WE PUT THEM IN? SO, YEAH, SO TYPICALLY THEY'LL GET PUSHED OFF INTO LATER YEARS IN THE TEN-YEAR PLAN.
NOW WE ALSO HAVE A DELETED COLUMN.
SO PROJECTS, I WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON PROJECTS.
THEY NEED TO COME OFF THE LIST.
I DO TRY NOT TO TAKE PROJECTS OFF THE LIST.
IF A PRINCIPAL REQUESTED IT, I KEEP IT ON THERE AND PUSH IT OUT.
UNLESS I FEEL LIKE I DO ASK PRINCIPALS, UM, IF, IF THEY WILL WEED OUT THE LIST.
AND IF THERE'S PROJECTS THAT USED TO BE ON THE TENURE PLAN THAT ARE NO LONGER NEEDED TO LET ME KNOW, AND THEN I'LL TAKE IT OFF THE LIST, OR AS PART OF THAT, UH, BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, I'LL SUGGEST PROJECTS TO BE DELETED AND LET YOU KNOW THAT I'M GOING TO DELETE THEM AND TAKE THEM OFF THE LIST.
IF WE DON'T TAKE THEM OFF THE LIST, THEY GET PUSHED BACK TO LATER YEARS.
SO IF A PROJECT DOESN'T MAKE THE 2020, PUSH IT OFF TO 21 OR ANOTHER YEAR WHERE WE'RE DOING WORK AT THAT SCHOOL, POSSIBLY.
DO YOU HAVE A COMPILE LIST FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS? YES.
COULD YOU POSSIBLY SEND THAT TO ME? WELL, THE BOARD, SURE.
I MEAN, YOU WOULD LOOK AT THE PAGES OF THE TEN-YEAR PLAN, BUT, BUT YES, I CAN.
I, THE DATABASE THAT WE KEEP, ALL THESE PROJECTS, I HAVE ALL THE, THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED OVER THE LAST 10 PLUS YEARS.
BUT, UM, IF ALL YOU WANT ARE THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
WELL, ACTUALLY, CAN YOU ACTUALLY WATCH, SINCE YOU SAID HOUSTON IS THE LAST 10, 10, 10 YEARS OF PROJECTS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT, THAT WASN'T APPROVED AND WAS APPROVED.
CAN YOU KEEP BROKEN ON TWO COLUMNS THAT, THAT THAT'S IN THE LAST 10 YEARS THAT WERE APPROVED IN A LASHING YOU, THAT WAS NOT APPROVED? I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, I HAVE HAD A FORMAL PROCESS FOR, FOR REVIEW OF THAT PROBABLY FOR THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS WHERE I'VE TRACKED IT ON A SPREADSHEET AND SHOWN WHERE THEY'VE BEEN DELETED.
SO I DON'T BELIEVE I CAN GIVE YOU, I HAVE A SPREADSHEET.
IT HAS ALL THE PROJECTS LISTED.
UM, THEY WOULD HAVE ALL GONE TO DELETED.
IT'S GOING TO BE A MASSIVE LIST.
WELL, LET ME, LET ME ASK YOU THIS BEFORE WE CREATED, BEFORE WE DID IT THIS WAY, THEN HOW DID, HOW DID YOU DO IT? BECAUSE, UH, MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE, UH, ROBIN, OR YOU MIGHT HAVE A, A, UM, A COPY OF THE MES WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT TO THE BOARD IN, IN, IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, IS THERE SOMETHING IN SPECIFIC YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? BECAUSE I, IF THERE'S A CERTAIN LINE, I JUST, I, I, I SIMPLY JUST WANT THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF THIS, THAT THE LIST THAT WE WENT FORWARD, WORD THAT WE WENT FORWARD WITH AND THE LIST THAT WE DELETED, THE OTHER ONES THAT WE DID NOT GO FORWARD WITH.
I JUST WANT THOSE TWO OF THOSE LISTS FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
AT LEAST I CAN TELL YOU THE LIST THAT WE WENT FORWARD WITH, I CAN EASILY GET YOU THE LIST THAT WE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD.
I'M JUST, SO IF I DIDN'T DOCUMENT IT, WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE, LET'S JUST SAY IN, IN 2019, I DIDN'T GO FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT.
WELL, ON THE DATABASE, I WOULD HAVE MOVED THAT
[01:25:01]
TO, TO 20, 21 OR SOMETHING.SO IT WOULD STILL BE IN THE LIST.
AND I MAY NOT KNOW THAT IN 2019, I DIDN'T CHOOSE THAT PROJECT.
MY DATABASE IS JUST GOING TO SHOW NOW THAT IT'S AT 2021.
SO I WOULD HAVE A TOUGH TIME GIVING YOU A COMPREHENSIVE LIST WITH THAT INFORMATION.
UH, UH, WHAT, WHAT, WHEN, WHEN YOU DO HAVE THE ONE THAT YOU ARE KNOWN FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE ONE THAT YOU, THAT YOU DO, UH, THE ONE THAT YOU CAN JUST CAN, UH, SEND TO US, WOULD YOU GO AHEAD AND SEND THAT TO US? THAT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM.
AND ALSO MS. SCREWED, I LIKE TO ADD THIS AS A, AS A BOARD BULLET POINT.
SO AS PART OF THE BOARD MEETING, YOU WANT ME TO PRESENT THE LAST FIVE YEARS WORTH OF PROJECTS.
YOU CAN JUST SEE, YOU CAN JUST SEND, YOU CAN JUST SEND THAT TO US.
I JUST WANT THIS TOPIC TO BE ANSWERING ONE OF MY BULLET POINTS TO DISCUSS AT THE BOARD AND ME.
YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO SEND THIS TO THE COMMITTEES OF THE OPERATIONS? YES, SIR.
IT TO THE FULL BOARD, BUT OBVIOUSLY I WAS, WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY IF YOU COULD SEND IT TO THE OPERATIONS AND ALSO ROBIN AND ROBERT CONSISTENT, UH, PUT IT IN BOARD DOCS FOR THE BOARD MEETING.
LET ME SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
NOW WE, WE, I KNOW CERTAINLY CAN REPORT ON THAT, UH, THAT WE REVIEWED THE SELECTION PROCESS.
UM, AND THEN YOU CAN CERTAINLY ELABORATE ON THAT MR. SMITH DURING THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
BUT POSSIBLY AT THE BOARD MEETING, I MAY WANT TO ASK A QUESTION TO ASK A QUESTION THAT MIGHT HAVE, I CAN'T ASK THE QUESTION THEN, UH, ON THAT I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM IF IT WAS NOT BULLET POINTED.
IF I CAN ASK THE QUESTION, HOW WOULD YOU SEE THAT QUESTIONS YOU DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW? YOU MAY, RIGHT? CHRISTIAN? I, THAT I DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW, ONCE HE EMAILED ME THAT LIST, UH, MORE, UM, I'M NOT A PARLIAMENTARIAN, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD WORK.
UM, WELL, I GUESS THE TOPIC IS BROUGHT UP, THEN THAT'D BE FINE.
I'M GOING TO JUST, I'LL INTRODUCE THE TOPIC AND YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE.
AND IF ANYBODY OBJECTS TO THE DIRECTION YOU'RE GOING, THEY'LL SAY SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS THAT'S NOT US.
THAT'S THE BEST ANSWER I COULD POSSIBLY GIVE YOU.
SO IS YOUR HANDOFF CHUNK OKAY.
OR IF I WILL, OH, WELL, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT REVIEWING THE LIST AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING? I WANT TO SEE, I WANT TO SEE THE, I WANT TO SEE THE LIST, JOHN, AND, UH, ON THE BOARD MEMBERS.
MAY I MAY, I MAY HAVE QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, UM, MAY, MAY THEY MAY HAVE PROCESS QUESTIONS AS WELL, AND THAT'S, AS FAR AS, LET ME GO WITH THE JOHN I'M DONE.
AND JUST MY LAST COMMENT, ROBERT WOULD BE THAT I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH MR. DELL, AND WE REALLY SHOULDN'T, UM, TRY TO GUESS WHAT THE NEXT COMMITTEE IS GOING TO WANT.
SO, SO AM I PUTTING IT AS A BULLET ITEM OR IS IT JUST A PART OF YOUR COMMITTEE REPORT? PART OF THE COMMITTEE REPORT.
ONE OF THE BULLETS UNDER THE COMMITTEE REPORT, I'LL GET YOU THOSE DOCUMENTS, ROBIN PUT, THANK YOU.
UM, THAT HAND IS LEFTOVER MR. NELSON.
UM, FUTURE TOPICS IS OUR LAST AGENDA ITEM.
AND I MEAN, I CAN CERTAINLY SHORT CIRCUIT THIS AND SAY, I THINK WE'VE BEEN DOING PRETTY GOOD WHEN I SEND THE EMAIL OUT AND REQUEST EVERYONE TO HELP ASSEMBLE THE AGENDA.
I THINK IT'S BEEN WORKING PRETTY WELL.
SO WHAT IF YOU, IF THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC YOU'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT UNDER THIS TOPIC, FEEL FREE.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADJOURN.
WE DID A GOOD JOB GETTING THROUGH THIS.
