04:41.240 --> 04:47.440 Well the truck, the reason it's on the agenda because we just did the pledge of allegiance. 04:47.440 --> 04:52.760 The truck is the ball on top of the flag pole. 04:52.760 --> 04:58.760 Okay, as long as you won't understand half of this I understand. 04:58.760 --> 05:07.240 And KONAS which is continental United States, every division has a huge flag with a division 05:07.240 --> 05:08.240 flag. 05:08.240 --> 05:14.680 In Europe it has USRA, U.S. Army of Europe, every division has a huge flag, a huge piece 05:14.680 --> 05:15.680 of a TV. 05:15.680 --> 05:19.080 Top of the flag pole is a truck. 05:19.080 --> 05:31.240 Inside that truck is a bullet and a magazine with a personal weapon that is present in 05:31.240 --> 05:36.360 whatever day time it is like right now, it would probably be the 9 million. 05:36.360 --> 05:42.000 However, when this started, even though it may be lower, the deal is if somebody, the 05:42.000 --> 05:49.040 last person that to live on that pole is supposed to tear that flag pole down, bust the truck 05:49.040 --> 05:55.000 pole down, get the weapon, put the magazine in the bullet and the last thing he does before 05:55.000 --> 05:57.560 he dies is everyone is visible. 05:57.560 --> 06:04.600 Okay, now that's the law, it goes a long ways, however, whether you believe it or not, it's 06:04.600 --> 06:12.280 an example of believing in something that you can't see, all right. 06:12.280 --> 06:16.400 Now I've been a handful of these meetings and I've waited and I think they're good, I've 06:16.400 --> 06:18.880 learned a lot and I'm not done coming. 06:18.880 --> 06:26.160 Okay, however, there's something I have not seen in this room. 06:26.160 --> 06:30.600 I have yet to see a kindergartner in this room. 06:30.600 --> 06:37.080 Now they believe in us and they believe in things that we can't see, all right. 06:37.080 --> 06:40.680 And we all believe in something we can't see too. 06:40.680 --> 06:43.880 So I'm here, how many kindergartners you got? 06:43.880 --> 06:48.560 I don't know, let's just say two, all right. 06:48.560 --> 06:52.080 Now one has been in here, so I'll be here for them. 06:52.080 --> 06:59.960 So, see, the federal world's record, thanks for listening, thank you Bob. 06:59.960 --> 07:06.960 Our next person signed up is Corey Smith and he will be speaking on the football facility. 07:06.960 --> 07:13.160 Thank you, Corey. 07:13.160 --> 07:14.160 Thank you. 07:14.560 --> 07:19.760 First of all, I want to express that I am in support of an updated football facility 07:19.760 --> 07:25.040 and express my thankfulness and gratitude for any work that's been put into this point 07:25.040 --> 07:30.160 to present an idea for that football facility and acknowledge the hard work that goes into 07:30.160 --> 07:32.840 that stuff. 07:32.840 --> 07:37.360 What I want to do, what I do want to express to you today and encourage you to do is to 07:37.360 --> 07:43.640 continue exploring other options in addition to what's being presented tonight. 07:43.640 --> 07:49.520 Maybe I feel that any facility over there should also include a track facility, not 07:49.520 --> 07:55.440 only because you have track and field participants at the school as well as football, soccer 07:55.440 --> 08:00.840 and many other students that could benefit from a nice updated facility, but a facility 08:00.840 --> 08:06.000 that would incorporate a track would also allow the track team to host postseason events 08:06.000 --> 08:08.280 such as regional sectionals. 08:08.280 --> 08:15.880 I could also include seating for fans to watch track and as a parent of a track athlete 08:15.880 --> 08:22.280 for the last couple of years, I can ensure you that seating would be very much appreciated. 08:22.280 --> 08:28.680 Next, I would also like to point out that in the presentation that's being presented 08:28.680 --> 08:34.040 tonight, you're going to see many examples of beautiful facilities around our conference 08:34.040 --> 08:38.200 and neighboring schools and neighboring communities, and every one of the examples 08:38.200 --> 08:43.320 in the presentation includes a track around the football facility. 08:43.320 --> 08:47.920 So I'm again just asking that you explore that option a little bit further. 08:47.920 --> 08:52.400 I know personally speaking on behalf of my family and my athlete, we would be happy to 08:52.400 --> 09:00.120 participate in any required fundraising to make that happen so that we can get the support 09:00.120 --> 09:04.120 of the track athletes as well, but I can only speak for my family. 09:04.120 --> 09:08.280 So again, I encourage you to look a little further into other options with this facility 09:08.280 --> 09:13.320 and keep moving forward and come up with some different ideas that can help and benefit 09:13.320 --> 09:15.360 more students. 09:15.360 --> 09:19.040 Thank you, Corey. 09:19.040 --> 09:28.760 Our next speaker to sign up is Carol Bardot and she is requesting a FOIA request. 09:28.760 --> 09:29.760 Thank you. 09:29.760 --> 09:35.760 A FOIA request for the Clara R. McKenna Aquatics Center. 09:35.760 --> 09:40.760 My computer crashed. 09:40.760 --> 09:44.320 This is a Jenskin School Board. 09:44.320 --> 09:47.440 This letter contains a freedom of information request. 09:47.440 --> 09:49.760 I would like a hard copy and roll call vote. 09:49.760 --> 09:55.920 He sells for any vote that deals with Clara R. McKenna Aquatics Center for Fund 80 after 09:55.920 --> 10:01.040 the following meetings, the regularly scheduled monthly school board meetings in August, 10:01.040 --> 10:06.920 September, October, the October budget hearing meeting for 26th, 27th school year, and any 10:06.920 --> 10:09.920 other meetings during that three month period. 10:09.920 --> 10:10.920 May I come forward? 10:10.920 --> 10:11.920 Thank you so much. 10:11.920 --> 10:12.920 You can bring that up, please. 10:12.920 --> 10:13.920 All right. 10:13.920 --> 10:14.920 Thank you. 10:14.920 --> 10:15.920 All right. 10:15.920 --> 10:16.920 All right. 10:16.920 --> 10:17.920 All right. 10:17.920 --> 10:18.920 All right. 10:18.920 --> 10:19.920 All right. 10:20.920 --> 10:29.120 Our next participant to sign up is Sarah Rep and she's actually signed up twice, but the 10:29.120 --> 10:32.920 first time she is speaking on the football facility. 10:32.920 --> 10:37.520 Thank you, Sarah. 10:37.520 --> 10:38.520 Thank you. 10:38.520 --> 10:41.520 And I'm going to mirror what Corey said. 10:41.520 --> 10:45.800 Really appreciate all the work that has gone into planning the new facility. 10:45.800 --> 10:48.320 New facilities are great. 10:48.320 --> 10:54.040 But I just wanted to go over some different thoughts that I had when I saw this proposal 10:54.040 --> 10:55.720 come out. 10:55.720 --> 11:00.480 So I'm here as a district resident that wants to see our community and students succeed. 11:00.480 --> 11:06.400 I'm asking you the board to consider taking a pause on any motion to move an $8 million 11:06.400 --> 11:10.800 athletic facility project forward. 11:10.800 --> 11:16.240 And it has been identified at numerous board meetings that we are in such a financial crisis 11:16.240 --> 11:19.080 that we can no longer keep the Aquatic Center open. 11:19.080 --> 11:26.000 A facility that serves our entire population and it is a selling point recruiting new residents 11:26.000 --> 11:27.480 and industry. 11:27.480 --> 11:32.680 Why are we considering funding a facility that impacts a small percentage of the population 11:32.680 --> 11:37.320 and why are we not working to find a solution to keep the Aquatic Center open? 11:37.320 --> 11:41.200 Many of you board members are new and you are being asked to make decisions regarding 11:41.200 --> 11:45.200 district members tax dollars without complete information. 11:45.200 --> 11:49.520 I have placed multiple open records request to the district for information regarding 11:49.520 --> 11:54.600 the Aquatic Center budget, the final engineering report and analysis of school field stadium 11:54.600 --> 11:59.360 bleachers and correspondence with DPI regarding use of fund $80. 11:59.360 --> 12:02.120 I have yet to receive any documentation. 12:02.120 --> 12:07.680 I strongly feel a pause on decisions to construct a new multi-million dollar facility or close 12:07.680 --> 12:12.600 existing facilities needs to be paused until these items can be produced and reviewed 12:12.600 --> 12:15.320 by you as the board. 12:15.320 --> 12:21.160 It would also be a good faith effort of transparency to share this information with the community. 12:21.160 --> 12:25.920 Strong athletic programs are not the result of flashy new expensive infrastructure. 12:25.920 --> 12:32.360 They are the result of solid consistent strong programs created by a strong coaching staff 12:32.360 --> 12:34.840 with strong administrative and community support. 12:34.840 --> 12:39.920 It has been expounded at numerous meetings that the Aquatic Center does not meet the primary 12:40.000 --> 12:43.680 focus of the district, which is education of our students. 12:43.680 --> 12:48.680 It does an $8 million athletic facility give our students a better education. 12:48.680 --> 12:54.200 Does it provide something new that our students aren't currently getting from existing facilities? 12:54.200 --> 12:59.120 Are you truly going to choose to sacrifice an existing community facility that serves 12:59.120 --> 13:05.000 all ages and an entire population for one that serves a select population? 13:05.000 --> 13:08.560 You have a responsibility as a board to hold your administration accountable. 13:08.920 --> 13:12.040 You're not simply on a board to say yes. 13:12.040 --> 13:16.400 I am personally sick of the gas lighting and lack of accountability. 13:16.400 --> 13:21.440 You as the board need to ask for the documentation that we have been requesting to be provided 13:21.440 --> 13:25.520 so an informed decision regarding these facilities can be made. 13:25.520 --> 13:31.760 Community success isn't created because of one singular event, individual or facility. 13:31.760 --> 13:36.920 Community strength and success are the product of partnerships, positive relationships and 13:36.920 --> 13:38.360 efforts of the whole. 13:38.360 --> 13:43.960 Again, I ask you to review your mission, request relevant information and hold your administration 13:43.960 --> 13:44.960 accountable. 13:44.960 --> 13:45.960 Thank you. 13:45.960 --> 13:46.960 Thank you. 13:46.960 --> 13:47.960 Sarah. 13:47.960 --> 13:57.960 Our next participant signed up to speak is Tom Koss. 13:57.960 --> 14:06.160 Tom will be speaking on the Aquatic Center. 14:06.160 --> 14:12.280 Thank you all for spending this beautiful evening in this room with us. 14:12.280 --> 14:15.760 We actually do appreciate the school board a lot. 14:15.760 --> 14:18.520 I want to give, cover some observations. 14:18.520 --> 14:22.640 I usually come to you with financial numbers and I have some of those, but I learned something 14:22.640 --> 14:27.760 in the past week as I've reached out to and talked to superintendents from other Wisconsin 14:27.760 --> 14:29.280 districts. 14:29.280 --> 14:34.760 I asked them questions about athletic facilities, community facilities, Fontaine, Fund 80, Fund 14:34.760 --> 14:35.760 46. 14:35.760 --> 14:37.640 I learned a lot. 14:37.640 --> 14:40.800 Some of us in the gallery on March 18 were just confused. 14:40.800 --> 14:46.040 Why doesn't the board, why doesn't somebody just ask other districts how they're handling 14:46.040 --> 14:47.840 these problems? 14:47.840 --> 14:53.160 Sadly, I found out the reason is that they would have heard that the way we were doing 14:53.160 --> 14:55.440 things was just right. 14:55.440 --> 15:04.480 I talked to superintendents from districts across Wisconsin, not just our neighbors. 15:04.480 --> 15:11.200 I am really slow, so it took me a long time to realize that that was what was going on. 15:11.200 --> 15:13.640 I talked with leadership teams. 15:13.640 --> 15:19.000 One official said it appeared pretty clear that Anego has made closing the pool their 15:19.000 --> 15:21.280 priority. 15:21.280 --> 15:27.480 One of the ways that is evidenced is by this, and that person was just guessing at this, 15:27.480 --> 15:29.840 but he said, watch for this. 15:29.840 --> 15:35.920 We will expense things in the worst possible way so the pool fails as an entity and is 15:35.920 --> 15:39.480 effectively off our books. 15:39.480 --> 15:46.760 And that was unsolicited by me, so apparently people in the school, districts, understand 15:46.760 --> 15:48.520 what's going on. 15:48.520 --> 15:52.840 A superintendent from a different district, I asked them direct questions, do your general 15:52.840 --> 15:59.040 maintenance staff take care of all buildings, even those that house some Fund 80 activities? 15:59.520 --> 16:05.080 Yes, some of their time could be partially allocated to Fund 80 if we want to. 16:05.080 --> 16:12.000 However, all electrical plumbing, HVAC, mechanical works of all types is done by our regular 16:12.000 --> 16:16.400 maintenance crew, paid out of Fund 10, hired by our district. 16:16.400 --> 16:21.680 Even for the building that is almost 100% community, we have seniors from the community 16:21.680 --> 16:33.040 using it for exercise that is paid for and maintained by our regular maintenance staff. 16:33.040 --> 16:37.840 All administrative functions paid out of our general Fund, Fund 10, record keeping, paying 16:37.840 --> 16:45.240 bills, supervising employees, et cetera. 16:45.240 --> 16:52.680 So another question, do you use your capital improvement fund, Fund 46 for all your buildings? 16:52.680 --> 17:01.840 Yes, maintenance, repairs, capital improvements, even the lawnmores and vacuum cleaners we 17:01.840 --> 17:03.760 bought with Fund 80. 17:03.760 --> 17:07.240 When they were such a big expense and our regular budget was a little light, we had 17:07.240 --> 17:09.880 our Fund 80 as a backup and we used it. 17:09.880 --> 17:18.280 All we have to do is manage, amend, monitor the fund, the tenure plan and use it properly. 17:18.280 --> 17:28.480 So I do have some recommendations for the Board to consider and the first recommendation 17:28.480 --> 17:37.720 is to stop paying expenses from Fund 80 were prohibited by Wisconsin Statute 120.1319. 17:37.720 --> 17:45.920 It forbids using any Fund 80 funds for costs that are not the actual additional costs incurred 17:45.920 --> 17:50.680 to operate the community program. 17:50.680 --> 17:56.320 Number two, do not use Fund 80 to pay costs that would be incurred by the school district 17:56.320 --> 18:02.800 if the community programs and services were not even provided by the district. 18:02.800 --> 18:09.120 In other words, if the aquatic center is just giving old people a place to exercise 18:09.120 --> 18:14.120 and you're using Fund 80 to maintain that building, you are in violation of that section 18:14.120 --> 18:18.600 of Wisconsin Statute. 18:18.600 --> 18:23.700 One thing section two, I'm making another recommendation quickly, get your district back 18:23.700 --> 18:28.760 in compliance with the contract, you executed with the Y, that the district is currently 18:28.760 --> 18:30.480 in breach of that contract. 18:30.480 --> 18:35.360 I have the sections here, the maintenance, the temperature, the fact that this virus 18:35.360 --> 18:42.360 had to cancel a therapy session, are proof that you are in breach of contract. 18:42.360 --> 18:47.400 Make sure that any motion that you pass to take Fund 46 funds for a new stadium includes 18:47.400 --> 18:54.160 taking funds from that fund to improve and maintain your building which houses the aquatic 18:54.160 --> 18:55.600 center. 18:55.600 --> 18:58.160 Do not miss that opportunity. 18:59.160 --> 19:03.480 Finally, I'll talk more at the committee tomorrow about specific things to that but 19:03.480 --> 19:08.880 I just wanted to share and I have to say honestly, I was embarrassed when I told them 19:08.880 --> 19:10.760 what district I was from. 19:10.760 --> 19:17.280 They kind of knew before I even brought up my questions. 19:17.280 --> 19:20.280 Thank you. 19:21.280 --> 19:28.760 Our final person to sign up again is Sarah Rep and she will be speaking on the aquatic 19:28.760 --> 19:32.160 center at this time. 19:32.160 --> 19:43.040 Thank you and again to follow time, just some recommendations for the board so that we can 19:43.040 --> 19:51.280 move forward and find a solution and that you can have all the information to review. 19:51.280 --> 19:55.640 So it has become increasingly clear that the district administration may be receiving an 19:55.640 --> 20:01.560 incomplete or overly narrow legal interpretation regarding Fund 80 and the aquatic center. 20:01.560 --> 20:06.440 DPI's guidance asks whether an expense would continue to exist if the districts fund the 20:06.440 --> 20:08.160 80 program were eliminated. 20:08.640 --> 20:13.880 In this case, many of the expenses in question including basic facility maintenance, cleaning, 20:13.880 --> 20:17.320 sanitation and operational upkeep would still exist. 20:17.320 --> 20:21.880 These are fundamental responsibilities associated with owning and operating a school district 20:21.880 --> 20:26.800 facility regardless of whether community programming is offered there. 20:26.800 --> 20:30.080 And there's state statutes that Tom had mentioned earlier. 20:30.080 --> 20:38.000 So as a board member, I would like my recommendation as to the board is to make a motion directing 20:38.000 --> 20:43.200 the district to obtain independent or additional legal advice regarding the appropriate use 20:43.200 --> 20:48.680 of Fund 80, Fund 10 and other available funding sources for the operation and maintenance 20:48.680 --> 20:51.960 of the aquatic center. 20:51.960 --> 20:56.320 In December, the board approved the purchase of the aquatic center timing system despite 20:56.320 --> 21:01.560 that approval superintendent declined to sign the installation agreement and stated that 21:01.560 --> 21:04.040 it would need to be returned to the committee. 21:04.040 --> 21:08.800 The timing system will serve as district-owned equipment used by the school district and 21:08.800 --> 21:10.720 its athletic programs. 21:10.720 --> 21:15.640 It would therefore appear to fully qualify as a Fund 10 expense. 21:15.640 --> 21:20.760 Even under the administration's current interpretation of Fund 80, there does not appear to be a 21:20.760 --> 21:28.360 clear reason why this agreement was not executed and carried out based on the board's approved 21:28.360 --> 21:29.360 action. 21:29.720 --> 21:34.520 Again, recommendation, the board should determine why its direction was not carried out and 21:34.520 --> 21:39.640 identify the steps necessary to complete the approved purchase and installation without 21:39.640 --> 21:43.320 further unnecessary delay. 21:43.320 --> 21:47.560 The district and the why signed an agreement explicitly stating that the district would 21:47.560 --> 21:51.400 assume responsibility for pool maintenance beginning July 1. 21:51.400 --> 21:56.280 The district has not consistently fulfilled those responsibilities. 21:56.280 --> 22:00.880 Examples include when cleaning supplies were needed, the district was contacted, but 22:00.880 --> 22:05.920 the why was told it was their responsibility for purchasing them. 22:05.920 --> 22:10.360 The district has not consistently backwash the pool or completed the routine maintenance 22:10.360 --> 22:13.600 necessary to keep it operational. 22:13.600 --> 22:18.240 So the why is stepped in when necessary to protect the facility and keep the pool open. 22:18.240 --> 22:22.880 That temporary intervention should not be interpreted as the why accepting the district's 22:22.880 --> 22:25.280 contractual responsibilities. 22:25.480 --> 22:31.120 Again, as the board, I am asking that you should require administration to provide an 22:31.120 --> 22:36.320 immediate written plan explaining how the district will fulfill its responsibilities 22:36.320 --> 22:37.880 under the agreement. 22:37.880 --> 22:42.680 The plan should identify who is responsible for each maintenance function, establish 22:42.680 --> 22:48.400 a schedule for completing those duties, and designate a clear point of contact. 22:49.400 --> 22:56.920 Basically, I am asking you to ask questions, and I want you to be able to know that the 22:56.920 --> 23:02.600 decisions that you are making are being made with all of the information that you can 23:02.600 --> 23:06.800 possibly get, and I think we're missing a lot of that. 23:06.800 --> 23:11.760 So I am asking you to do your due diligence and find that information so you can make 23:11.760 --> 23:15.840 a decision that you know is correct. 23:15.840 --> 23:16.840 Thank you. 23:16.840 --> 23:21.840 Thank you, Sarah. 23:21.840 --> 23:29.040 Let her be, Gridiron Club presentation and update on Scofield Stadium, Mrs. Oginski. 23:29.040 --> 23:35.200 So with us tonight, we have Mr. Jerry Gillespie, and virtually we have Mr. Ray Diven, and they 23:35.200 --> 23:43.480 will present a nice presentation that Mr. Diven shared with a couple of our committees last 23:43.480 --> 23:49.360 week, and give us some more information regarding all things Scofield Stadium and 23:49.360 --> 23:55.880 the athletic facility that they are hopeful to gather funds for. 23:55.880 --> 23:58.360 Mr. Gillespie, turn it over to you. 23:58.360 --> 23:59.360 Thank you, Glenda. 23:59.360 --> 24:00.360 Nathan, you ready to go? 24:00.360 --> 24:05.480 We're going to first look at a few slides, and Ray's going to be part of the presentation. 24:05.480 --> 24:07.480 Ready to go, Ray? 24:07.480 --> 24:08.480 Nathan? 24:08.480 --> 24:09.480 Nathan. 24:10.480 --> 24:11.480 Nathan? 24:11.480 --> 24:23.480 Nathan, do you have Ray on, so let's move on, hang out. 24:23.480 --> 24:41.480 Yeah, Ray, are you there? 24:41.480 --> 24:43.480 Hey, can you hear me? 24:43.480 --> 24:46.480 We can really hear you. 24:46.480 --> 24:47.480 Clearly. 24:47.480 --> 24:50.480 Go ahead, Ray. 24:50.480 --> 24:51.480 Okay. 24:51.480 --> 24:52.480 All right. 24:52.480 --> 24:53.480 So thank you guys for having me. 24:53.480 --> 24:54.480 I apologize. 24:54.480 --> 24:56.480 I cannot be there in person. 24:56.480 --> 25:00.480 I am actually out of state and Utah right now, so thank you for having me virtually. 25:00.480 --> 25:03.480 You know, I couldn't be there in person. 25:03.480 --> 25:06.480 Do you all have the slide show up? 25:06.480 --> 25:07.480 Yes. 25:07.480 --> 25:08.480 Yes. 25:08.480 --> 25:09.480 Perfect. 25:09.480 --> 25:13.480 So this is a presentation we put together to demonstrate a few things. 25:13.480 --> 25:16.480 Obviously, this is to go over what we are proposing. 25:16.480 --> 25:21.480 First, I wanted to review the current state of Scofield Stadium. 25:21.480 --> 25:27.480 So if we move to page two, you'll see an overview of Scofield Stadium. 25:27.480 --> 25:34.480 This was taken just at the beginning of last season, so our 2025 season. 25:34.480 --> 25:39.480 On page three, you'll see a closer look at a few items. 25:39.480 --> 25:43.480 On the top left, you will see our grandstands. 25:43.480 --> 25:48.480 These were deemed unsafe and unable to be used to spectators. 25:48.480 --> 25:54.480 So this shows just kind of a closer example of the condition of the structure. 25:54.480 --> 25:56.480 We are not able to go inside of the structure. 25:56.480 --> 26:00.480 We do have team rooms and locker rooms underneath on the back side. 26:00.480 --> 26:06.480 We're unable to enter that structure, but there is sections of the ceiling that have fallen to the ground. 26:07.480 --> 26:09.480 It is obviously just a very bad repair. 26:09.480 --> 26:17.480 And in this picture shows some external damage that has been done to the structure itself crumbling down on a stairway. 26:17.480 --> 26:27.480 Just next to that, on the right, you will see a picture of the bleachers that we brought in to accommodate spectators for games. 26:27.480 --> 26:31.480 So obviously a lot less seating than what we are able to use in the grandstands. 26:32.480 --> 26:35.480 One of those sections are from the school district. 26:35.480 --> 26:39.480 They were being used at the baseball field by the high school. 26:39.480 --> 26:42.480 These are typically where our students watch games. 26:42.480 --> 26:49.480 And if you have been to a game, you know, this structure is somewhat scary. 26:49.480 --> 26:50.480 It is definitely older. 26:50.480 --> 26:52.480 There's large gaps in between the seating. 26:52.480 --> 26:58.480 So in my opinion, it is definitely nerve-wracking, watching students standing on the structure, 26:58.480 --> 27:03.480 jumping up and down, being teenagers, supporting their football team. 27:03.480 --> 27:08.480 The two next to that are smaller, but newer structure is much more safe. 27:08.480 --> 27:12.480 These were purchased by the Gridiron Club a few years apart. 27:12.480 --> 27:20.480 This expense to the Gridiron Club total about $37,000 to bring in these bleachers to help support spectators viewing. 27:20.480 --> 27:26.480 The district also rents additional bleachers that go next to that as well. 27:27.480 --> 27:35.480 On the bottom left is a picture of at the time when we took these images, there was a game just about to begin. 27:35.480 --> 27:39.480 And our visitors' teams do not have a team room at this facility. 27:39.480 --> 27:48.480 So this picture shows the visitors' team getting prepared for the game right next to the parking lot by West Elementary out in the open. 27:48.480 --> 27:51.480 Obviously no privacy at all. 27:51.480 --> 27:54.480 They're simply getting dressed out in the open. 27:54.480 --> 27:58.480 And then to the right of that, you'll also see our bleachers once again. 27:58.480 --> 28:01.480 What I want to discuss though is the press box. 28:01.480 --> 28:05.480 So we were able to build this press box in pretty short order. 28:05.480 --> 28:09.480 It gives our announcers and our scorekeepers some shelter. 28:09.480 --> 28:18.480 It also houses a coach from the home team and away team to be able to communicate with coaches on the sidelines. 28:18.480 --> 28:24.480 So that little tiny looks like a deer stand houses about four people typically on a game night. 28:24.480 --> 28:26.480 So it's very cramped. 28:26.480 --> 28:33.480 Obviously no privacy between teams as they're trying to communicate with their coaches on the sidelines either. 28:33.480 --> 28:39.480 And if we move to the next slide, we just point out a few of the things of the current state. 28:39.480 --> 28:46.480 Again, we have the unusable and unsafe grandstands and the press box, which is included in that structure. 28:46.480 --> 28:54.480 As far as the technology goes, once when the slide was prepared, we had our sound system, our scoreboard and our lights that were not operational. 28:54.480 --> 28:58.480 We had 13 lights out out of the total lights on the system. 28:58.480 --> 29:00.480 Ten of those lights have been repaired. 29:00.480 --> 29:03.480 So the lighting system is for now resolved. 29:03.480 --> 29:09.480 But I do want to point out that system is very out of date and ultimately obsolete. 29:09.480 --> 29:15.480 Finding parts to repair this lighting system, we seem to have to add repairs on an annual basis. 29:15.480 --> 29:17.480 It gets harder and harder to do every year. 29:17.480 --> 29:24.480 The scoreboard has taken resources financially, as well as labor to repair from year to year. 29:24.480 --> 29:26.480 But this is about the third year in a row now. 29:26.480 --> 29:29.480 We have had issues with that scoreboard not being operational. 29:29.480 --> 29:34.480 Speaking with Jake Leverman this morning, that was still being worked on. 29:34.480 --> 29:39.480 I have not had confirmation that that is yet repaired with games right around the corner. 29:40.480 --> 29:47.480 Our sound system, again, talking to Jake this morning, we were told that is operational as of now. 29:47.480 --> 29:52.480 That was not operational in early July when we went to go check the system. 29:52.480 --> 29:58.480 And that is, again, two years consecutively now that that system did not work at the beginning of the season. 29:58.480 --> 30:03.480 It is an off-campus location, meaning it is not on the campus of our high school. 30:03.480 --> 30:08.480 So what this means, we actually have to bust our home team to home games. 30:08.480 --> 30:10.480 Visitors do not have a locker room on site. 30:10.480 --> 30:13.480 So our visiting teams actually are bust to the high school. 30:13.480 --> 30:17.480 They are in bust from the high school to Schofield Stadium. 30:17.480 --> 30:25.480 After games, they are bust from Schofield Stadium back to the high school to use the locker room facilities for showering and getting undressed and ready for the trip home. 30:25.480 --> 30:27.480 And then again, they bust home from there. 30:27.480 --> 30:31.480 So logistically, there are some struggles being off site. 30:31.480 --> 30:33.480 And then limited parking. 30:33.480 --> 30:36.480 If you've ever been to a game, you understand parking is pretty limited. 30:36.480 --> 30:39.480 We use the West Elementary parking lot. 30:39.480 --> 30:41.480 That is a smaller parking lot. 30:41.480 --> 30:43.480 So that would build up rather quickly. 30:43.480 --> 30:54.480 The additional parking is basically on the streets, whether it be Fifth Ave or any of the other streets along that line in the field. 30:54.480 --> 31:01.480 The next few slides will show off some of the other districts in our conference and their facilities. 31:01.480 --> 31:06.480 These are all newer facilities with a synthetic turf surface. 31:06.480 --> 31:11.480 Newer updated bleachers, press box, plaza areas, confessions and restrooms. 31:11.480 --> 31:16.480 So first we have Merrill. 31:16.480 --> 31:22.480 Next, you'll see Lakeland. 31:22.480 --> 31:28.480 After that, we have Medford. 31:28.480 --> 31:33.480 And then Tomahawk. 31:33.480 --> 31:40.480 And lastly, we have Ryan Lander with the dome in there as well. 31:40.480 --> 31:46.480 And lastly, I just want to revisit the overview picture of Schofield Stadium in current state. 31:46.480 --> 31:54.480 Just again, to get the comparison between ourselves and our competitive districts. 31:54.480 --> 31:58.480 So to move on to what we're proposing of our project committee. 31:58.480 --> 32:01.480 We are, we have established a red robin vision. 32:01.480 --> 32:13.480 We would like to propose a safe, modern on campus athletic complex, bringing events home, building leaders and uniting our community. 32:13.480 --> 32:17.480 After that, you'll see a rendering of the project scope. 32:17.480 --> 32:22.480 This is an overview of what we have worked with point of beginnings, 32:22.480 --> 32:29.480 which is an engineering architectural firm who has a very large portfolio of these types of projects under their belt. 32:29.480 --> 32:36.480 Actually two of which are both my alma models from college and high school that were recently just done by point of beginnings as well. 32:36.480 --> 32:43.480 So the work that they do, they are very well versed and have a lot of experience and are very knowledgeable about this kind of work. 32:43.480 --> 32:47.480 So they helped us lay this out and came up with this rendering of that overview. 32:47.480 --> 32:50.480 So here we have our entranceway. 32:50.480 --> 33:01.480 We have a multi-use building, which will house our concessions, restrooms, team rooms for both home and visitors, as well as a separate room for our officials. 33:01.480 --> 33:10.480 Just to the east of that, we have a private parking lot for visitors, vehicles, bus bills, as well as EMS. 33:10.480 --> 33:20.480 So EMS would have quick access to our field as well in any of the events that they need to visit and take care of any of our athletes on the field. 33:20.480 --> 33:23.480 We also have a nice open plaza area. 33:23.480 --> 33:32.480 As we know, there's a lot of spectators that like standing, watching games, they like having room to move around to get to concessions, bathrooms and whatnot. 33:32.480 --> 33:36.480 So it's a really generous plaza area to be able to move around freely. 33:37.480 --> 33:41.480 We also have picnic tables, bistro tables available as well. 33:41.480 --> 33:46.480 And that would lead us to our bleachers, which would house 1500 spectators. 33:46.480 --> 33:53.480 These bleachers are ADA compliant, which we are not currently compliant with now at Schofield Stadium. 33:53.480 --> 33:57.480 This would be a synthetic turf field. 33:57.480 --> 34:00.480 This would be lined for multiple sports. 34:00.480 --> 34:05.480 We also have a multi-sports scoreboard that would be utilized for the facility as well. 34:05.480 --> 34:16.480 And then obviously modern lighting that would be LED as well as modern sound system and press box. 34:16.480 --> 34:23.480 And then next we can get a closer view of what these renderings look like up close, as if we were touring the proposed facility. 34:23.480 --> 34:25.480 So first we have our entranceway. 34:25.480 --> 34:34.480 One of the very unique things about the Centuryway and a very cool thing that really honors our history of Schofield Stadium and our football program specifically. 34:34.480 --> 34:38.480 Is the entrance walls that you see in this rendering. 34:38.480 --> 34:45.480 Those are actually field stone pieces that would be from our iconic wall at Schofield Stadium currently. 34:45.480 --> 34:58.480 So we propose actually deconstructing that and having that built back up in the new location really to honor Schofield Stadium and the history of that program. 34:58.480 --> 35:02.480 Next is a nice view over Plaza and concessions in Restroom area. 35:02.480 --> 35:09.480 We have a very nice unique red robin statue that is being donated by an alumni group. 35:09.480 --> 35:14.480 This is a really neat, very tall, metal three-dimensional red robin statue. 35:14.480 --> 35:27.480 Really cool way to differentiate ourselves from other facilities and our way for spectators to really have a nice warm welcome to our facility. 35:28.480 --> 35:30.480 Next is another view of that Plaza. 35:30.480 --> 35:33.480 You can see how nice and wide open that space is. 35:33.480 --> 35:44.480 Plenty of room to move around whether you want to stand and watch the game from that area, access the concessions or restrooms. 35:44.480 --> 35:47.480 The next image, you'll start to see the field itself. 35:47.480 --> 35:54.480 This has a really nice angle to see all of the different athletic groups and organizations that can take advantage of this facility. 35:54.480 --> 35:59.480 This represents it is being lined for soccer, as you see the soccer goals as well. 35:59.480 --> 36:09.480 It's also lined for softball and literally dimensions of 4660 for base size, so it's 46 to my own 60 to the bases. 36:09.480 --> 36:18.480 This would accommodate any kind of WIA rule for hosting a varsity softball game, if need be. 36:18.480 --> 36:23.480 Not to say they would have to, but it is an option for them if the weather does not cooperate. 36:23.480 --> 36:32.480 We historically do have a lot of challenges accessing fields in early season for softball, as well as little weeks since all of our facilities are not turf. 36:32.480 --> 36:41.480 Sometimes mother nature likes to hang on a little longer than we would like, so getting out to practice or even host games kind of becomes a struggle in the spring. 36:41.480 --> 36:50.480 So this allows us a lot of flexibility to get out early once the weather allows us to get on a turf surface, begin practicing and even host a game if need be. 36:50.480 --> 36:58.480 And then, of course, for our football program as well. 36:58.480 --> 37:05.480 Next is a nice view of our grandstands. Again, this would house 1500 spectators. It is ADA compliant. 37:05.480 --> 37:18.480 And it also does have a new press box area with plenty of space for coach privacy and comfort for our announcer in our scoreboard operators and the other personnel that would need to be in that structure. 37:19.480 --> 37:28.480 One of the things I do want to point out about this structure is we did keep in mind since we are not having the track or this is not replacing listal field. 37:28.480 --> 37:35.480 We do have this as a dual sided press box. So this can be utilized actually looking the other way towards listal field to the west. 37:35.480 --> 37:45.480 And the sound system could be utilized for that as well or any kind of needs for a press box for those games or events on that field as well. 37:49.480 --> 38:06.480 Next, we have our scoreboard. Obviously, this wouldn't be the scoreboard that would be in place. The scoreboard would have would accommodate all of the athletic events that would or possibly could take place at this facility, whether it be softball, baseball, soccer or football. 38:06.480 --> 38:17.480 And last is just another really nice look looking towards the north. You can also see the high school in the background to kind of get an idea of where this would be positioned if constructed. 38:17.480 --> 38:25.480 We did keep this as a mindful placement of the facility to really accommodate growth in this area and this space. 38:25.480 --> 38:31.480 We truly want this to be an antigo athletic complex area, not just for football. 38:31.480 --> 38:39.480 This allows us room to grow towards the tennis courts. There's green space there to accommodate a full 100 yard football field there on the grass. 38:39.480 --> 38:44.480 There's also space to the south of this towards the baseball field back that way. 38:44.480 --> 38:52.480 Again, to accommodate any kind of growth as we grow as a community and as a district, we can add on in that area. 38:52.480 --> 39:02.480 So we really want to focus on this proposed facility is truly for the teams is for the town and is for the future. 39:02.480 --> 39:05.480 So Jerry at this point, I'll hand it over to you. 39:09.480 --> 39:17.480 Thanks, Ray. Very nicely done. I'm sure everybody appreciates three dimension and what it could look like. 39:18.480 --> 39:26.480 Before I start, I would like to ask or like to have a little bit of a football trivia just in case some of you are as old as I am. 39:26.480 --> 39:31.480 Significance of November 1, 1935. 39:31.480 --> 39:35.480 First, anigo Rhynander Bell game. 39:35.480 --> 39:42.480 Community significance event in 1938, 88 years ago. 39:42.480 --> 39:47.480 Anigo Athletic Park, built by the WPA during the Depression. 39:47.480 --> 39:52.480 1976, 78, excuse me, and 82. 39:52.480 --> 39:57.480 Three of anigo's WIA State football champions. 39:57.480 --> 40:00.480 2018. 40:00.480 --> 40:05.480 Last time, anigo was conference champs. 40:05.480 --> 40:08.480 Anigo 55 Rhynander 30. 40:08.480 --> 40:11.480 Anigo 55 Rhynander 30. 40:11.480 --> 40:15.480 Total Bell games wins with two ties. 40:15.480 --> 40:18.480 114. 40:18.480 --> 40:22.480 A number of football players that are practicing this fall. 40:24.480 --> 40:27.480 I thought you thought that it's getting in a good mood anyway. 40:27.480 --> 40:32.480 My name is Jerry Gillespie and I'm speaking on the group from the Gridiron Club. 40:33.480 --> 40:36.480 The first question is, who in the world is this guy? 40:36.480 --> 40:41.480 By the way, my wife made me wear a suit. 40:41.480 --> 40:46.480 I'm a former student athlete from Anigo, class of 1965. 40:46.480 --> 40:51.480 Dale Peterson and Gordy Schofield were my coaches in football. 40:51.480 --> 40:57.480 And Elon Case and Jim Maham were my coaches in basketball. 40:58.480 --> 41:03.480 And Peter March and Ralph Ellison were my coaches in tennis. 41:03.480 --> 41:09.480 So historically, those people are pretty significant in Anigo's world. 41:09.480 --> 41:14.480 In March of 25, Scott and Dale Peterson drove down to Green Bay where I live 41:14.480 --> 41:20.480 and asked me if I would help with this project. 41:21.480 --> 41:22.480 Why? 41:22.480 --> 41:28.480 Well, I had previously worked with Point of the Beginning, which is the firm the district is using. 41:28.480 --> 41:36.480 And pretty much on my own, but we raised $800,000 to rebuild the tennis courts at Depere. 41:36.480 --> 41:41.480 And I haven't taught at Depere for 30 years, but I did coach there and my kids went there 41:41.480 --> 41:47.480 and they all played tennis, my son played in college, my granddaughters, my lessons now. 41:47.480 --> 41:55.480 Basically, courts, pavilion, concessions, team room, fencing, lights, the whole shebang. 41:55.480 --> 42:01.480 And I will tell you that even if you never want me to come back, Point of the Beginning is a very talented group. 42:01.480 --> 42:03.480 So you picked a good choice. 42:03.480 --> 42:15.480 So in, I think it was April of that year, the previous board gave us permission to go see what we could do. 42:15.480 --> 42:17.480 Could we find the funds? 42:17.480 --> 42:20.480 Could we get a design that was acceptable, et cetera? 42:20.480 --> 42:26.480 And I said, excuse me, yes to this project for three reasons. 42:26.480 --> 42:33.480 Number one, I truly believe as a former coach and athlete myself that athletics makes a difference. 42:33.480 --> 42:36.480 And I don't just mean on the field. 42:36.480 --> 42:41.480 There's probably more lifetime things gained than there is in the four years in high school. 42:41.480 --> 42:44.480 And I'm going to read something to you later. 42:44.480 --> 42:48.480 Two, the upgrade for Scofield Stadium is way overdue. 42:48.480 --> 42:52.480 And number three is I wanted to help do the right thing. 42:52.480 --> 43:02.480 Our objective tonight is to give you an update and include financials, how we're doing with fundraising. 43:02.480 --> 43:05.480 And I will tell you right now, it's a big ticket item. 43:05.480 --> 43:13.480 Point of the Beginning's anticipated and estimated construction costs are 8.2 million, all in. 43:13.480 --> 43:18.480 But let me also caution you and say those are not proposals, those are not bids. 43:18.480 --> 43:25.480 Those are an architectural estimates that does not include any in-kind work. 43:25.480 --> 43:29.480 It does not include any increases if we wait. 43:29.480 --> 43:33.480 It's a number in the sand right now. 43:33.480 --> 43:36.480 So I wanted to make sure that was nice and clear. 43:36.480 --> 43:44.480 First we did, our approach was we wanted to approach some people from Annigal who had to wear with all to help. 43:44.480 --> 43:48.480 And of the first four people we asked, three said yes automatically. 43:48.480 --> 43:53.480 One is a little undecided, but he's still in the picture. 43:53.480 --> 43:59.480 We've applied for grants and have approached local statewide and NFL foundations. 43:59.480 --> 44:05.480 We have discussed it with other local business owners in Annigal who are waiting to see what happens tonight. 44:05.480 --> 44:11.480 After tonight, depending, we'll finalize all verbal pledges. 44:11.480 --> 44:17.480 We'll expand the commitments that some people have made from one year to two years. 44:17.480 --> 44:28.480 And I would like to tell you today that I got the second $50,000 commitment from a former Annigal player. 44:28.480 --> 44:30.480 How much have we raised? 44:30.480 --> 44:34.480 Well, it comes in different forms, so I'm just going to read to you what we have. 44:34.480 --> 44:39.480 Cash at co-vantage, $77,000 in change. 44:39.480 --> 44:44.480 Two legally binding pledges of $250,000. 44:44.480 --> 44:47.480 We're discussing the two-year commitment with those people. 44:47.480 --> 44:53.480 A million dollar corporate donation that's been paused for the last 90 days. 44:53.480 --> 44:59.480 A grant of $100,000 if we reach 3.9. 44:59.480 --> 45:04.480 Four verbal pledges totaling half a million if the project is a go. 45:04.480 --> 45:07.480 And it's been paused. 45:07.480 --> 45:14.480 In-kind donations for earthwork and site preparation have been discussed and even given a start date. 45:14.480 --> 45:16.480 It has been paused. 45:16.480 --> 45:26.480 We're seeking other in-kind things for electrical, materials, concrete, plumbing, concession, press box, and storage building construction. 45:26.480 --> 45:32.480 All paused waiting for the board to make a decision whether this is a go or not. 45:32.480 --> 45:37.480 After that, we're going to restart naming rights with some of the companies. 45:37.480 --> 45:40.480 But we recognize that naming rights is a board decision. 45:40.480 --> 45:45.480 We can't promise anybody anything, but they can certainly ask. 45:45.480 --> 45:47.480 All right? 45:47.480 --> 45:52.480 We've been working to build both community and private support to get this done. 45:52.480 --> 46:01.480 And we believe this project has reached a point where neither the community nor the school district can realistically accomplish it alone. 46:01.480 --> 46:06.480 It has to be a partnership. 46:06.480 --> 46:08.480 The timeline is perfect. 46:08.480 --> 46:17.480 With board approval, fundraising commitments that were on pause, we'll knock on those doors and we'll find out what's real. 46:17.480 --> 46:23.480 Field and site work we were verbally told could start in October of this year. 46:23.480 --> 46:26.480 Request for proposals and bids would come over the winter. 46:26.480 --> 46:30.480 Primary construction would be basically spring and summer. 46:30.480 --> 46:35.480 And believe it or not, grand opening could be a home game in 27. 46:35.480 --> 46:38.480 But we have to all get on the same page. 46:38.480 --> 46:44.480 Concept quizzes, if this fails, continue use of the worst facility in the conference. 46:44.480 --> 46:46.480 Maybe the state, I just don't know. 46:46.480 --> 46:49.480 It's not that good, even though I played on it. 46:49.480 --> 46:54.480 Potential Saturday games or even no home games. 46:54.480 --> 46:58.480 Current maintenance expenses will only get higher. 46:58.480 --> 47:02.480 Fruit or construction costs will only increase if we wait. 47:02.480 --> 47:10.480 More than likely, it's now or never for the community's financial help and the athletic complex itself. 47:10.480 --> 47:16.480 Recognizing that the district has multiple priorities, some of which you heard tonight. 47:16.480 --> 47:26.480 Both now and in the future, we are respectfully asking the school board to consider 50% financial commitment from its capital fund 46. 47:26.480 --> 47:28.480 I'll say that again. 47:28.480 --> 47:36.480 We are asking the board to consider respectfully, to consider a 50% financial commitment from its capital fund 46, 47:36.480 --> 47:46.480 to be used for this community facility, which added to our current pledged in future efforts will allow construction to begin this fall. 47:46.480 --> 47:57.480 May I also tell you that in that number, that big number, is a contingency to replace the turf somewhere 10, 12, 14 years down the road, 47:57.480 --> 48:01.480 depending on usage and how it's taken care of, et cetera. 48:01.480 --> 48:05.480 So I think 20 years worth of turf field. 48:05.480 --> 48:13.480 We are also asking the board members to make in second emotion, so our request can be discussed and questions answered, 48:13.480 --> 48:17.480 and even hopefully brought to a vote if you're comfortable. 48:17.480 --> 48:23.480 In closing, I would like to offer a quote from somebody I just golfed with. 48:23.480 --> 48:29.480 Participating in athletics teaches lessons that extend far beyond any season's record. 48:29.480 --> 48:37.480 Student athletes continue to distinguish themselves in the classroom, in their careers, as well as in their future competition. 48:37.480 --> 48:43.480 Mark Murphy, retired president and CEO of Green Bay Packers, 208 to 225. 48:43.480 --> 48:48.480 So with that, I'd like to see if it could be, if you're comfortable in the audience, if you would raise your hand, 48:48.480 --> 48:52.480 if you're in favor of the football field, please raise your hand. 48:52.480 --> 48:56.480 Thank you very much, and board, thank you. 48:56.480 --> 48:57.480 Any questions? 48:58.480 --> 48:59.480 I don't know if we can ask questions. 48:59.480 --> 49:00.480 Thank you, Jerry. 49:00.480 --> 49:06.480 At this time, it's a presentation, and later on, whatever we are under board action, I'm sure the questions will be asked, 49:06.480 --> 49:09.480 and we'll ask you to come back to the podium at that time. 49:09.480 --> 49:10.480 Okay. 49:10.480 --> 49:11.480 Can I ask a clarifying question? 49:11.480 --> 49:12.480 Make sure you press something correctly. 49:12.480 --> 49:13.480 Sure. 49:13.480 --> 49:14.480 I don't care. 49:14.480 --> 49:15.480 Okay. 49:15.480 --> 49:26.480 Just the, with the resurfacing of the turf, so that's essentially within that budget maintenance or your planning for maintenance in the future of the turf. 49:26.480 --> 49:42.480 Because I don't know how much things cost, but our conversations were, we would ask the board and the administration to kind of make the proposal and put in writing what you expect of the grid iron club. 49:42.480 --> 49:46.480 That should be, you tell us what you need in order for it to work. 49:46.480 --> 49:49.480 Can I use another couple seconds? 49:49.480 --> 49:50.480 Sure. 49:50.480 --> 49:51.480 Yes. 49:51.480 --> 49:52.480 Okay. 49:53.480 --> 50:02.480 Last week, late last weekend today, I got quite a few emails, and I'm not going to read them all, but I'd like to read a couple of things. 50:02.480 --> 50:06.480 I'd like to encourage the Annigal School Board to approve the construction of a new stadium. 50:06.480 --> 50:10.480 I am a former product of the football tradition at Annigal in the 60s. 50:10.480 --> 50:15.480 Our coach Gordy Schofield taught us so many important lessons while we played football. 50:15.480 --> 50:20.480 These life lessons had carried many of us to be the best we could be in this world. 50:20.480 --> 50:26.480 A new football stadium will enable a new generation of young men to experience the same lessons. 50:26.480 --> 50:31.480 Ed Huffman played here in 65 with me, played at Wisconsin. 50:31.480 --> 50:32.480 Next one. 50:32.480 --> 50:36.480 I'm writing to express my strong support for the development of a new stadium. 50:36.480 --> 50:44.480 A modern stadium will provide a safe, high quality facility for student athletes while creating a welcome gathering place for families. 50:44.480 --> 50:46.480 And there's some other nice things. 50:46.480 --> 50:48.480 Eric Schrader, Schrader Brother Farms. 50:48.480 --> 50:52.480 My husband and I support the Annigal Facility Project. 50:52.480 --> 51:00.480 The facility will benefit students and families in Annigal, and in addition to supporting the project we'll be giving a donation, Greg and Sue Schofield. 51:00.480 --> 51:10.480 To whom it concerns, as a former educator and coach, having new facilities was always a positive for getting student athletes to join the program. 51:10.480 --> 51:22.480 The cost is always a problem, but athletics is a key part in student growth along with other non-athletic entities such as band, choir, show choir, and all the clubs in the learning process. 51:22.480 --> 51:27.480 Sorry, Robert Wagner. 51:27.480 --> 51:32.480 I'm sending this note to express my support for the proposed new football facilities. 51:32.480 --> 51:38.480 As a native of Annigal, I have long-time special interest in Annigal District programs, especially athletics. 51:38.480 --> 51:40.480 I graduated from Annigal. 51:40.480 --> 51:42.480 My six children graduated from Annigal. 51:42.480 --> 51:47.480 One currently as a staff member and four of my grandchildren have Annigal School System experience. 51:47.480 --> 51:54.480 I support the stadium and the new facilities with support in multiple sporting events. 51:54.480 --> 51:56.480 The project study committee has worked hard. 51:56.480 --> 52:03.480 I encourage the Board of Education, the Board of Education, and to give it your blessing of support. 52:03.480 --> 52:06.480 There's one more on the back. 52:06.480 --> 52:07.480 I just want to get it. 52:07.480 --> 52:08.480 Sorry. 52:12.480 --> 52:20.480 I'm writing this as a parent of the young children and as someone who is incredibly proud of my husband and his business, 52:20.480 --> 52:27.480 who is a fourth-generation owner of Saluski Wood Products, to express my strong support for the stadium. 52:27.480 --> 52:29.480 Our family has deep roots. 52:29.480 --> 52:33.480 Our children are young, but they often think about the future we are building. 52:33.480 --> 52:39.480 I hope they grow up loving this community, and if they choose to leave for college, I hope they come back. 52:39.480 --> 52:43.480 And the last one. 52:43.480 --> 52:46.480 Do you remember that the Annigal School Board? 52:46.480 --> 52:51.480 As someone who cares deeply about Annigal and his future, I believe a modern, well-planned athletic facility 52:51.480 --> 52:57.480 would provide meaningful benefits for students, families, programs, and the broader community for years to come. 52:57.480 --> 53:02.480 One of the most important reasons to support the project is the impact it would have on students. 53:02.480 --> 53:10.480 The facility would create more opportunities for young people to participate, compete, train, and develop lifelong habits. 53:10.480 --> 53:15.480 Athletics and extracurricular teach discipline, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and resilience. 53:15.480 --> 53:22.480 Providing students with access to improve facility sends a clear message that Annigal values their growth, safety, and future. 53:22.480 --> 53:28.480 I support the project because of the impact it would have on families and the community. 53:28.480 --> 53:30.480 Mike Hunter. 53:30.480 --> 53:33.480 Thank you very much. 53:33.480 --> 53:37.480 Jerry, those emails that you've read, if you will pass those over to Deanna, 53:37.480 --> 53:42.480 so they can be part of the record for this meeting since they were named individuals. 53:42.480 --> 53:43.480 That would be great. 53:43.480 --> 53:49.480 Annigal, I'm sure we'll have more discussion on that question when we get to that item on the agenda. 53:49.480 --> 53:50.480 Let her see. 53:50.480 --> 53:51.480 Education elevator. 53:51.480 --> 53:53.480 Mrs. Oginski? 53:53.480 --> 54:01.480 So, up next we have Ms. Tanya McKenna will present to us about the newly formed educator elevator. 54:01.480 --> 54:09.480 She and Mr. Zenayad came and met with me sometime earlier last year about efforts that they would like to put in place 54:09.480 --> 54:17.480 to help lift up and support all of the wonderful educators that we have in Annigal, so we will turn it over to Ms. McKenna. 54:17.480 --> 54:18.480 Hello. 54:18.480 --> 54:21.480 So, I'm taller than I thought. 54:21.480 --> 54:22.480 Yeah, I'm over the mic. 54:22.480 --> 54:33.480 So, I'm Tanya McKenna Trabant, and we have started a 501c3 organization called Educator Elevator, which we hope is self-explanatory. 54:33.480 --> 54:36.480 There are three words I'd really like you to know about it. 54:36.480 --> 54:39.480 I'll tell you them in a second, but I want to tell you I'm not here with a request. 54:39.480 --> 54:43.480 I'm not here with really just here to share what we're doing. 54:43.480 --> 54:47.480 So, it's announcement and you have a brochure there with you as well. 54:47.480 --> 54:48.480 So, three words. 54:48.480 --> 54:54.480 It is a positive, community-driven, non-partisan organization. 54:54.480 --> 55:05.480 The idea is for us to do things in partnership with the district and business and industry and everybody to show educators that this is a place worth staying in. 55:05.480 --> 55:10.480 That this is a place that cares about education and cares about educators. 55:10.480 --> 55:13.480 Okay, so that is in essence the idea. 55:13.480 --> 55:22.480 How do we elevate educators' social status in our community so that people feel the support of the community in the way that we do that? 55:22.480 --> 55:29.480 Okay, so that doesn't mean that some of us involved don't have opinions about other things, right? 55:29.480 --> 55:34.480 It means that we're trying to work in partnership as a community to build things together. 55:34.480 --> 55:45.480 And so, when we're operating as educator, elevator, the idea is to be in partnership and to work together and figure out how do we help educators feel valued in our organization. 55:45.480 --> 55:54.480 So, this is, we're an independent 501c3 and so we have a board of directors, we have bylaws, I'm glad to share them with you. 55:54.480 --> 55:58.480 Any of you bylaw junkies, I'm a huge bylaw junkie. 55:58.480 --> 56:02.480 So, I got to invite two different ones this year, so that was pretty fun. 56:02.480 --> 56:08.480 So, if you want to know any more about the infrastructure and how we're putting it together, I'm really glad to share that. 56:08.480 --> 56:13.480 We started three initiatives this fall, so one of them was last week. 56:13.480 --> 56:18.480 We created Welcome Baskets for the 28 new educators that joined the district. 56:18.480 --> 56:35.480 They were about this big, they included gift certificates, food, coupons and information from, I'm thinking we had a list of 15 or 20 local businesses and organizations, probably worth at least $150 in there. 56:35.480 --> 56:39.480 So, every new educator got this basket with fresh flowers in it. 56:40.480 --> 56:45.480 They also got the packet from the Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development, so they have information as well. 56:45.480 --> 56:57.480 We really wanted them to walk in and go, oh, like somebody noticed we're here and so we did that and five of us representing Educator Elevator were there and explained a little bit like I'm explaining to you guys. 56:58.480 --> 57:06.480 Tomorrow, we are hosting the first annual Community Welcome Picnic, which is happening at Heinz and Pavilion. 57:06.480 --> 57:08.480 Board members, you're welcome to join us. 57:08.480 --> 57:16.480 We are having every educator in the district on their first professional development day, we're feeding them lunch and saying welcome and welcome back. 57:16.480 --> 57:23.480 And it's a community welcome, so it's paid for by community donations and in partnership with the district administration. 57:23.480 --> 57:30.480 So, we're really just trying to make the point that the community is here and that we're trying to find ways to work together. 57:30.480 --> 57:33.480 The third thing that we're doing is a community connector program. 57:33.480 --> 57:39.480 You might think of it as an old school mentor program, but some of our new teachers don't want on ones. 57:39.480 --> 57:41.480 They like to do things in groups and clumps. 57:41.480 --> 57:47.480 So, we're going to have people connected so that they can find roots in our community. 57:48.480 --> 57:58.480 So, somebody might really be in a mountain biking and not meet somebody until next May that does mountain biking where we're going to connect people so that they have somebody that they can find out about things. 57:58.480 --> 58:05.480 So, some people will be going to Garski, some people will be going bowling, some people will be going to the various restaurants in town. 58:05.480 --> 58:09.480 And so, that will be announcing again tomorrow and we'll be connecting people that way. 58:10.480 --> 58:27.480 So, we have big dreams. One of them is to raise enough money that we could actually help paraprofessionals get trained as certified teachers, people that are already grounded and rooted here in the community and so that they could go and continue their work here. 58:27.480 --> 58:35.480 Many of them can't afford to go ahead and like get the degree while they're also working and so is there a way that we could support them in doing that? 58:36.480 --> 58:38.480 That's one of the programs we have dreams about. 58:38.480 --> 58:48.480 The vision is that 30 years from now, some kid is in Tomahawk and somebody says, oh blah blah blah, new teacher, I didn't know what's going on, they're like, what? 58:48.480 --> 58:52.480 You don't have an educator elevator in Anago, we have an educator elevator. 58:52.480 --> 58:54.480 That's the idea. 58:54.480 --> 59:04.480 The vision is it's something that pulls up our whole community and can offer a model for other places ways to be into honor educators. 59:04.480 --> 59:09.480 So, I'm glad to take any questions. If you guys have questions, all I know it's not question time. 59:09.480 --> 59:16.480 So, I will be here until my bedtime, which probably is before you guys leave. 59:19.480 --> 59:32.480 So, one last thing I want to add is that I'm deeply committed to the nonpartisan aspect of this and this is something that is interesting because there are a lot of tricky things ahead of you guys and what you're working with. 59:32.480 --> 59:37.480 I'm your varsity girl swim coach. I have an investment in the pool, right? 59:37.480 --> 59:42.480 And I can operate in this nonpartisan way where we're building up educators. 59:42.480 --> 59:46.480 So, all of these things can be true at the same time, right? 59:46.480 --> 59:48.480 I'm not expressing an opinion. 59:48.480 --> 59:55.480 I just want you to know that we all are wearing multiple hats and community development takes all of us doing these things. 59:55.480 --> 59:57.480 So, thanks. 59:57.480 --> 01:00:01.480 Let's look, Tonya, take two questions. Two questions. 01:00:01.480 --> 01:00:03.480 We'll make them good. I love questions. 01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:06.480 Two good questions. Who has the first one? 01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:07.480 I'm looking around. 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:08.480 I don't have a question. 01:00:08.480 --> 01:00:17.480 I just want to say this is an absolute fantastic idea and I love that you are doing this and I'm so grateful that you're doing this for us. 01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:26.480 So, I'm here representing. It's not just me, just to be super clear. Not everybody loves public speaking. 01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:31.480 But we have a whole board and it's in there and there are a lot of volunteers involved. 01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:36.480 But thank you. We wanted to do something positive that could actually have an impact. 01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:39.480 Great. Thanks, Angie. 01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:43.480 And if somebody wanted to donate, how would they do that? 01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:45.480 You have a website? 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:46.480 That's a great question. 01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.480 Well, you'll see on the brochure it says, more information at our website soon. 01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:52.480 We own the domain. 01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:56.480 It is not up yet.

McKenna Aquatic Center. 01:09:01.480 --> 01:09:21.480 Are you looking for me to lead this discussion, Danny? 01:09:21.480 --> 01:09:22.480 Yes, sir. 01:09:22.480 --> 01:09:23.480 Okay. 01:09:23.480 --> 01:09:24.480 All right. 01:09:25.480 --> 01:09:37.480 So, and all of the board members has the handout that of the memorandum dated July 20 in front of them as well. 01:09:37.480 --> 01:09:38.480 Great. 01:09:38.480 --> 01:09:48.480 So, yeah, as, so that memorandum was given to you guys ahead of your last board meeting. 01:09:48.480 --> 01:09:58.480 It outlines, frankly, what has been the status quo since March. 01:09:58.480 --> 01:10:01.480 The pool is the fund 80. 01:10:01.480 --> 01:10:10.480 I mean, it'd be more specific is in dire financial circumstances. 01:10:10.480 --> 01:10:29.480 Even after the donation that was received by the foundation leading up to that donation, the board had previously met and passed a resolution in the draft resolution. 01:10:29.480 --> 01:10:40.480 It was proposed that the, that $250,000 should be received for continuing operations. 01:10:40.480 --> 01:10:46.480 The board had amended that resolution to read a hundred thousand. 01:10:46.480 --> 01:11:00.480 That hundred thousand has been insufficient to cover long, long term operations until additional significant revenues are received. 01:11:00.480 --> 01:11:06.480 So, I don't know the specific number as of today. 01:11:07.480 --> 01:11:18.480 But I believe, again, the reason I don't know that is because the number changes with incoming revenues and outgoing expenses. 01:11:19.480 --> 01:11:47.480 But I believe the, the number that is currently within fund 80 is mid $20,000 that is just not sustainable to continue operations with the pool. 01:11:47.480 --> 01:12:09.480 There are bills that are coming in that need to be paid most significantly would be bills from the YMCA, which are now going to be invoiced on a monthly basis. 01:12:09.480 --> 01:12:20.480 So, administration needs some guidance from the board as to how it would like to continue operations. 01:12:20.480 --> 01:12:33.480 I am here tonight to advise on the feasibility of any ideas the board has to facilitate those operations. 01:12:40.480 --> 01:13:01.480 So, David, if we were, if we were going to seek out that additional $150,000 from the initial resolution, would you have to write a new resolution or how, how would we go forward with that? 01:13:01.480 --> 01:13:11.480 I don't think it's necessary to have a stated resolution or a written resolution. 01:13:11.480 --> 01:13:24.480 But we could get, I could advise on certain language that might be beneficial, such as a deadline to receive such funds. 01:13:24.480 --> 01:13:44.480 So, potential liabilities don't continue to amass because every bill that comes in is just that. It's going to be a liability. 01:13:45.480 --> 01:13:55.480 Davis, in order for us to make informed decisions, I think it's very important for us to have detailed budget reports, seeing what's going on with all these accounts. 01:13:55.480 --> 01:14:07.480 I've been asking for those. I haven't been receiving those. How can we just keep asking people for money and have no idea where it's going, what it's being used for? 01:14:07.480 --> 01:14:17.480 We need to have some transparency with that stuff. 01:14:17.480 --> 01:14:22.480 Okay. 01:14:22.480 --> 01:14:27.480 I do not have that information. 01:14:27.480 --> 01:14:49.480 I think that is an important question to be asked, though it doesn't necessarily change the question in front of the board tonight. 01:14:49.480 --> 01:14:57.480 So, why are we short on the funds now? So, we had $175,000 June 30th on July 1. 01:14:57.480 --> 01:15:02.480 And that with rough math should have carried us through October. 01:15:02.480 --> 01:15:07.480 And now we're out of money again. So, could you explain that to me? 01:15:07.480 --> 01:15:24.480 My understanding is that the anticipated deficit for 2526 was larger than anticipated. 01:15:24.480 --> 01:15:46.480 So, some of the funds that were received following the $75,000 donation pursuant to DPI's guidance on how to handle a fiscal year deficit. 01:15:46.480 --> 01:15:54.480 Those funds needed to be applied to 2526 to make it zero. 01:15:54.480 --> 01:16:06.480 So, that was the initial intent to that 75,000. So, we did only receive 100,000 for the upcoming year, and they had to use more than the 75 for last year. 01:16:06.480 --> 01:16:11.480 Correct. 01:16:11.480 --> 01:16:33.480 But if I can touch on that amount from last year, from last fiscal year, the board was provided with some handouts on kind of the new apportionment to fund 80 for community service related items. 01:16:33.480 --> 01:16:45.480 We were provided with that information. It was a change of about a net $300,000 from what was the approved budget in October of 2025. 01:16:45.480 --> 01:16:52.480 However, the board never approved that $300,000 net change. 01:16:53.480 --> 01:17:12.480 So, we are living with the ramifications, but we never approved that change to the budget. 01:17:12.480 --> 01:17:14.480 Yes, Randy, go ahead. 01:17:14.480 --> 01:17:32.480 We also haven't had an opportunity to discuss that budget at all. That has been requested that this group or the finance committee or someone should be able to discuss those budgetary changes in an open forum. 01:17:32.480 --> 01:17:50.480 I also, I just wonder, have you reached out to the foundation? Does anybody approach Mr. Koss? One of the reasons that I made that amendment was we were asking them to come up with, you know, $325,000 in a week? 01:17:50.480 --> 01:17:56.480 Okay, now we've had two months. Have we approached anybody from the foundation with the fact? 01:17:56.480 --> 01:18:04.480 No, that's what Mr. Randy told us to do a month ago in this letter from July 20th. 01:18:04.480 --> 01:18:17.480 Has anybody reached out to the foundation? I know there was this $130,000 that was offered to make repairs to the pool. 01:18:17.480 --> 01:18:22.480 As far as I'm aware, no one's ever reached out to get access for those things. 01:18:22.480 --> 01:18:37.480 I agree, I don't think they're going to just keep giving us money for legal fees or electronic communications or things like that, but I think they are very willing to do things for the pool. 01:18:37.480 --> 01:18:59.480 I'd also just like to ask a question about currently how the school is meeting the immediate maintenance needs of the pool. 01:18:59.480 --> 01:19:16.480 Apparently this contract that was signed with the Y was we were going to apply, we were going to be responsible for the daily maintenance and talking to Brian Bailey and talking to pool employees. 01:19:16.480 --> 01:19:25.480 They feel there's no one that they can contact to help with pool water quality or pool temperature. 01:19:25.480 --> 01:19:28.480 They had to close it for therapy as has been mentioned. 01:19:28.480 --> 01:19:37.480 They've been advised that they cannot use a washer and dryer in the high school, so they've been taking laundry home and doing it themselves. 01:19:37.480 --> 01:19:42.480 They need a contact person for maintenance. 01:19:42.480 --> 01:19:54.480 There was somebody who was doing that up until July, and my question for the administration, I don't know if Jake's here or not, but who are they to contact? 01:19:54.480 --> 01:20:01.480 Or day-to-day maintenance that has not been available for the last two months? 01:20:01.480 --> 01:20:07.480 That is the reason for the situation that we need to agree to hire. 01:20:07.480 --> 01:20:10.480 But you've left them hanging dry for the last two months. 01:20:10.480 --> 01:20:14.480 No one will respond to them for their immediate needs. 01:20:14.480 --> 01:20:18.480 Who can they call when they have an immediate problem? 01:20:19.480 --> 01:20:26.480 They can't call the why. They can't call our maintenance department. Who are they supposed to contact? 01:20:26.480 --> 01:20:45.480 So, I think it'd be important to have administration chime in on this, but I am not aware of any correspondence that has gone unanswered. 01:20:46.480 --> 01:20:58.480 So, when they reached out, the YMCA regarding the pool temperatures, I responded that Mr. Lighterman would be sending someone over to check the pool. 01:20:58.480 --> 01:21:06.480 So, we also are short staffed in the district, and we have our high school torn apart, and it's a very busy time of the year, not that I'm making excuses. 01:21:06.480 --> 01:21:14.480 But we also are in the middle of preparing to welcome back our staff and our students, and we have to get that taken care of. 01:21:14.480 --> 01:21:29.480 So, he did contact reach out to a company that specializes in pool services, but I did reach out and I let Abby know that Mr. Lighterman would be sending someone to check the pool. 01:21:29.480 --> 01:21:35.480 So, they should contact Mr. Lighterman if they have immediate needs? 01:21:36.480 --> 01:21:42.480 I did not say that. I don't have that answer, but when they've reached out to me, I've responded. 01:21:46.480 --> 01:22:00.480 So, I would just like to voice my opinion on this. I think we're at a point where the community doesn't believe that this current interpretation of this standard is accurate. 01:22:01.480 --> 01:22:21.480 I interpret things differently than other people. I was looking at that DPI standard. I could interpret that maintenance incurred regularly because it's a district owned building that we should be able to provide the maintenance on that building, not incurred by the community program running. 01:22:22.480 --> 01:22:32.480 So, how I interpret that is, is that our maintenance staff should be able to go over there and take care of the facility's basic needs so that it does not continue to degrade and get worse. 01:22:32.480 --> 01:22:46.480 That's my interpretation of it. So, I think that we are at a point where we need to get someone from DPI in front of us to go over what can you do, what can't you do. 01:22:47.480 --> 01:22:58.480 Someone who, to be fair, we can say no board member has reached out to them, the administration hasn't reached out to them, a complete non-biased opinion from DPI in here to go over that. 01:22:58.480 --> 01:23:07.480 Because I worry that we're at a point where we've wasted a lot of time and now we're in this stalemate between the Y and we're just hemorrhaging funds. 01:23:07.480 --> 01:23:13.480 I mean, there's a part of me that wants to say, okay, well, if that's the way that we're interpreting that now, 01:23:14.480 --> 01:23:25.480 then without confirmation from DPI in front of us in writing, someone saying that we should almost revert all the funds that were taken out of Fund 80 to offset Fund 10, 01:23:25.480 --> 01:23:36.480 because of, and I'm using airports, miss billing, to go back into Fund 80 until we have a definitive answer that that's how that should go, so that Fund 80 is not in the deficit. 01:23:37.480 --> 01:23:40.480 That's where I met with this. 01:23:40.480 --> 01:23:49.480 I just think that we're not going to get past this hurdle unless someone else comes in and point blank just tells us that's your interpretation, 01:23:49.480 --> 01:23:54.480 but you could also interpret it this way and you could do it this way lately. 01:23:54.480 --> 01:24:03.480 That's my fear and my fear is that if we neglect this and then we jump to another huge improvement, 01:24:03.480 --> 01:24:17.480 which I do support both, I feel that we are doing a disservice to the people in this community by letting one huge asset go just to build another. 01:24:17.480 --> 01:24:20.480 So I'm struggling with that. 01:24:20.480 --> 01:24:22.480 I just want to, oh, sorry, I thought you were done. 01:24:22.480 --> 01:24:23.480 No, I'm done. 01:24:23.480 --> 01:24:31.480 I just want to point out that, and it's fair what you just shared, but for all of us to make sure we're really clear in the community too, 01:24:31.480 --> 01:24:37.480 that one building is a Fund 80 operated facility. 01:24:37.480 --> 01:24:42.480 Another I would anticipate would be a Fund 46. 01:24:42.480 --> 01:24:48.480 Fund 10 facility property. 01:24:48.480 --> 01:24:52.480 So there's huge distinctions there, which you have mentioned. 01:24:52.480 --> 01:25:00.480 So I don't think it is fair for any one of us to take the mindset of this discussion to say we are going to pick this or this. 01:25:00.480 --> 01:25:08.480 Like that can't happen because there are two separate things that if we say yes to this, that means no to that. 01:25:08.480 --> 01:25:11.480 That is 100% inaccurate. 01:25:11.480 --> 01:25:19.480 We don't have this or that or we have the both option, but you got to figure out the funding for both, but it's not a dis or that. 01:25:19.480 --> 01:25:25.480 There are two very separate funds that cannot be overlapped in use. 01:25:26.480 --> 01:25:40.480 I think part of the issue, if I was understanding Danny correctly because it's how I feel as well, is that we don't all believe from our own interpretations that it is too separate. 01:25:40.480 --> 01:25:48.480 I think more of Fund 10 personally, from my interpretation, more of Fund 10 can be used for the pool than we're being led to leave. 01:25:49.480 --> 01:25:58.480 And I also think if you look at the sports complex, there has to be a fund 80 aspect to that as well as because we were talking about little league and we were talking about city soccer leagues. 01:25:58.480 --> 01:26:00.480 Those are community based. 01:26:00.480 --> 01:26:11.480 So I don't think any of us understand, I'm sure there's probably a percentage of use or something like that, but I don't think we have at least me as a new board member. 01:26:11.480 --> 01:26:24.480 Like I have enough information that I believe is accurate to my, you know, I have not had anyone tell me anything that makes me believe that I'm wrong yet. 01:26:24.480 --> 01:26:38.480 And that's what I need. I need, like Danny said, someone new to all of us to be in front of us and give us information so I can make an informed decision because I don't feel like I have enough information to make an informed decision at this point. 01:26:39.480 --> 01:26:55.480 I think that it would be awesome if I could actually send up some representatives and have sit down and have a conversation with all of us in person so that all of us can hear it straight from the arts as well on what we can and cannot do with these funds. 01:26:55.480 --> 01:26:58.480 That way there's no, you know, we can ask our questions. 01:26:58.480 --> 01:27:03.480 We can get our thoughts out and we were not going to either school districts. 01:27:03.480 --> 01:27:08.480 We're not hearing it from, you know, this was doing it this way, this way or that way. 01:27:08.480 --> 01:27:13.480 We're hearing it straight from DPI. We're hearing it straight from the legal teams at the state level. 01:27:13.480 --> 01:27:16.480 What can we do? What can we not do? 01:27:16.480 --> 01:27:24.480 That way we're making sure that we are in compliance and the public funds the correct way. 01:27:24.480 --> 01:27:28.480 I agree with that. And I would like to speak. 01:27:28.480 --> 01:27:37.480 So Jill, I see what you're saying. However, from a community standpoint, they're not going to interpret it that way. 01:27:37.480 --> 01:27:42.480 They are going to see that we are now being faced with choosing two separate things. 01:27:42.480 --> 01:27:52.480 And I heard what you said, but also a point to this from how I'm understanding this is that the district owns the building, 01:27:52.480 --> 01:28:00.480 the program that is accessible to the community is the community, but the heating equipment is owned by the district. 01:28:00.480 --> 01:28:08.480 Those types of facilities are owned by our district, which my interpretation of reading that is that maintenance staff, 01:28:08.480 --> 01:28:13.480 if they are already employed by the district and they would have been employed by the district, 01:28:13.480 --> 01:28:21.480 regardless of that building being there, they could provide maintenance services to a district owned building, 01:28:21.480 --> 01:28:25.480 not incurred by the community program running. 01:28:25.480 --> 01:28:33.480 So how I interpret that is that because we own that building, we may not own or fund the community aspect of that, 01:28:33.480 --> 01:28:38.480 is that we should be able to provide them with maintenance. That's mine. 01:28:38.480 --> 01:28:47.480 And I'm hearing that entirely, but it is also our responsibility as elected board members to ensure that we are being open and clear that it is not a this or that. 01:28:47.480 --> 01:28:57.480 It is our role right now to ensure that all nine of us are administration and our community is very clear that nobody is picking sides. 01:28:57.480 --> 01:29:02.480 Nobody is picking this team over this group. 01:29:02.480 --> 01:29:09.480 That is not happening and that any presentation to make it sound that way, 01:29:09.480 --> 01:29:13.480 it would be wildly misleading and highly unfair to the community. 01:29:13.480 --> 01:29:18.480 So it is two very separate things. Nobody is picking a side. 01:29:18.480 --> 01:29:25.480 What we are talking about right now is operational funding, right? 01:29:25.480 --> 01:29:31.480 So it's still like you could in theory, say, keep it running, then your question is, 01:29:31.480 --> 01:29:38.480 what's your, what's the dollar amount this board would like to take from educational funds to fund the pool? 01:29:39.480 --> 01:29:47.480 Or tax increase the levy and tax the community to operate the pool or something different? 01:29:49.480 --> 01:29:54.480 I mean, I guess my question is we still don't, we don't right now, I'm hearing we don't have money. 01:29:54.480 --> 01:30:05.480 We can certainly argue about the dollars we can get a neutral person because an attorney and representatives from DPI and our administration are clearly unqualified for that. 01:30:05.480 --> 01:30:08.480 And I think it's fair to bring somebody else in. Sure. 01:30:08.480 --> 01:30:13.480 At the end of the day, who's going to pay for that? 01:30:13.480 --> 01:30:18.480 So my question is also to this. 01:30:18.480 --> 01:30:31.480 If until we have a third party come in, then technically couldn't we go back to operating the pool as it was with the previous interpretation of that statute until DPI comes in. 01:30:31.480 --> 01:30:37.480 And if DPI comes in and says, no, this is wrong, then unfortunately we have to go back to the how we're currently interpreting it. 01:30:37.480 --> 01:30:40.480 And then we have to make a decision on that. 01:30:46.480 --> 01:30:48.480 Who said that? 01:30:48.480 --> 01:30:50.480 But I haven't seen that from DPI. 01:30:50.480 --> 01:30:59.480 I haven't seen anything like that and I just outlined how I interpreted that statute and that clause on DPI site. 01:30:59.480 --> 01:31:08.480 And that is not how I interpret it. So until someone from DPI comes in, I can't make, I can't vote in a certain way on something that I haven't seen from DPI. 01:31:08.480 --> 01:31:13.480 I have yet to see that. Unfortunately, I'm just being very honest. 01:31:13.480 --> 01:31:18.480 I hear what you're saying and I'm also one to question. 01:31:18.480 --> 01:31:21.480 So I hear you. 01:31:21.480 --> 01:31:27.480 You have long stance, you know, numerous long standing board members. 01:31:27.480 --> 01:31:31.480 All telling you the same thing, you have the administration telling you the same thing. 01:31:31.480 --> 01:31:34.480 You have our legal piece telling you the same thing. 01:31:34.480 --> 01:31:37.480 And so we're not trying to be judiciary. 01:31:37.480 --> 01:31:42.480 I'm saying, like, I can never, I'm not going to vote for the committee of the public funds. 01:31:42.480 --> 01:31:44.480 I'm not going to do that. 01:31:44.480 --> 01:31:46.480 Yeah, neither am I. 01:31:46.480 --> 01:31:48.480 No, I'm not going to either. 01:31:48.480 --> 01:31:50.480 That's why I want to hear from DPI. 01:31:50.480 --> 01:31:57.480 Correct. That's why it's an appropriate use of fund 80 if we're not following the way that. 01:31:57.480 --> 01:31:58.480 And that's my fear. 01:31:58.480 --> 01:32:06.480 That is my fear. I've heard the analogy of and I don't want to take funds from from our kids. 01:32:06.480 --> 01:32:11.480 I don't want to take funds from kids to support something if we can't. 01:32:11.480 --> 01:32:16.480 But I also don't want to take funds from a facility in a program. 01:32:16.480 --> 01:32:21.480 If we are within our legal right, depending on that person from DPI's interpretation, 01:32:21.480 --> 01:32:25.480 to utilize specific funds from fund 10 to cover it. 01:32:25.480 --> 01:32:33.480 So I just feel like I don't have enough information to even be able to say, no, we shouldn't or yes, we should. 01:32:33.480 --> 01:32:36.480 I just have my interpretation in my opinion on it. 01:32:36.480 --> 01:32:40.480 But I really strongly think we need to get someone from DPI in here. 01:32:40.480 --> 01:32:43.480 Yeah, I weigh in here, please. 01:32:43.480 --> 01:32:47.480 So I hear what everybody is saying. 01:32:47.480 --> 01:32:56.480 And if you disagree with my advice, in my opinion, that is fine. 01:32:56.480 --> 01:32:59.480 On the maintenance, let's just back up on the DPI comment. 01:32:59.480 --> 01:33:03.480 So DPI, we can certainly reach out and see if they're willing. 01:33:03.480 --> 01:33:09.480 We met with them on Wednesday, I believe, of last week. 01:33:10.480 --> 01:33:20.480 In anticipation of this discussion, we outline again everything that had been or had occurred. 01:33:20.480 --> 01:33:29.480 And, and how we, how the district was doing things and how the district is now doing things. 01:33:29.480 --> 01:33:36.480 Deep on that call with EPI was also who of the district's auditors. 01:33:37.480 --> 01:33:44.480 Everybody on that call agreed that administration presently. 01:33:44.480 --> 01:33:53.480 Is treating fund 80 and fund 10 and the pools operations appropriately. 01:33:53.480 --> 01:33:57.480 Sorry, can you just repeat who was all involved in that phone conference? 01:33:57.480 --> 01:34:01.480 Sure, it was Mike Brendel from DPI. 01:34:01.480 --> 01:34:05.480 Who is the team lead of school finances. 01:34:08.480 --> 01:34:14.480 Leah Lassacki, I believe from a thin large thin Allen. 01:34:14.480 --> 01:34:20.480 And I do not recall the other women's home, but she was also one of the district's auditors from CLA. 01:34:20.480 --> 01:34:26.480 And then you were a part of that conversation along with district administration. 01:34:26.480 --> 01:34:27.480 Correct. 01:34:27.480 --> 01:34:28.480 Thank you. 01:34:31.480 --> 01:34:36.480 And we talked specifically about the concept of maintenance. 01:34:36.480 --> 01:34:44.480 And it is important to know that, or to remind yourself that what is the sum. 01:34:44.480 --> 01:34:48.480 There are no kids in the building. 01:34:48.480 --> 01:34:53.480 There is no educational program going on. 01:34:54.480 --> 01:35:02.480 The operation of the pool is exclusively for community programming in the summer. 01:35:02.480 --> 01:35:12.480 Okay, we will have no comments from the gallery, please. Thank you. 01:35:12.480 --> 01:35:18.480 There are some folks in the audience pointing out Davis that there is some use of the pool. 01:35:19.480 --> 01:35:21.480 By academic, whatever students. 01:35:23.480 --> 01:35:24.480 During the summer. 01:35:24.480 --> 01:35:26.480 By swim teams. 01:35:26.480 --> 01:35:27.480 Swim teams. 01:35:28.480 --> 01:35:31.480 By the unified school district of Annago swim team. 01:35:31.480 --> 01:35:32.480 Yes. 01:35:32.480 --> 01:35:33.480 That's what they're saying. 01:35:37.480 --> 01:35:38.480 Okay. 01:35:38.480 --> 01:35:44.480 So there is limited use of the pool by students. 01:35:45.480 --> 01:35:50.480 Then the days that they are used by the pool. 01:35:50.480 --> 01:35:51.480 What you do. 01:35:51.480 --> 01:35:57.480 And what the district has been doing is you determine how much. 01:35:57.480 --> 01:35:58.480 Time. 01:35:58.480 --> 01:36:04.480 For maintenance, utilities, insurance, and you pro rate those costs. 01:36:04.480 --> 01:36:06.480 For that specific period of time. 01:36:06.480 --> 01:36:08.480 Students. 01:36:08.480 --> 01:36:12.480 And that is appropriately charged to front end. 01:36:13.480 --> 01:36:18.480 Just because it's a district building. 01:36:18.480 --> 01:36:22.480 Doesn't mean you get to use all of the funds. 01:36:22.480 --> 01:36:23.480 Available. 01:36:23.480 --> 01:36:27.480 To go towards the operation of that building. 01:36:27.480 --> 01:36:31.480 This is why fund 46 is unable to be used. 01:36:31.480 --> 01:36:37.480 For many of the maintenance projects, which is what started this entire discussion. 01:36:37.480 --> 01:36:39.480 Back in. 01:36:40.480 --> 01:36:48.480 I think October of 2025. 01:36:48.480 --> 01:36:49.480 Oh, go ahead. 01:36:49.480 --> 01:36:50.480 So, so. 01:36:50.480 --> 01:37:00.480 As I've explained previously, you can develop a community program or service. 01:37:00.480 --> 01:37:03.480 That is predominantly. 01:37:03.480 --> 01:37:05.480 Well, sorry. 01:37:05.480 --> 01:37:06.480 That is. 01:37:06.480 --> 01:37:09.480 That uses a limited portion of fund 80. 01:37:09.480 --> 01:37:12.480 And you then basically convert the. 01:37:12.480 --> 01:37:14.480 Aquatic center. 01:37:14.480 --> 01:37:18.480 To be in fully funded both one 10. 01:37:18.480 --> 01:37:20.480 You could do that. 01:37:20.480 --> 01:37:22.480 But. 01:37:22.480 --> 01:37:24.480 You will have to. 01:37:24.480 --> 01:37:25.480 Lay off. 01:37:25.480 --> 01:37:29.480 A significant members and a number of staff members. 01:37:29.480 --> 01:37:33.480 Because you cannot operate the pool. 01:37:34.480 --> 01:37:36.480 Out of fund 10 and have enough money. 01:37:36.480 --> 01:37:38.480 Or paying question. 01:37:38.480 --> 01:37:39.480 Yes. 01:37:39.480 --> 01:37:41.480 Staff members. 01:37:41.480 --> 01:37:42.480 Like. 01:37:42.480 --> 01:37:46.480 Teachers or staff members in the aquatic center. 01:37:46.480 --> 01:37:50.480 You don't have any staff members in the aquatic center. 01:37:50.480 --> 01:37:53.480 Make sure that you would have to. 01:37:53.480 --> 01:37:57.480 It doesn't necessarily need to be teachers, but you're going to have to. 01:37:57.480 --> 01:38:01.480 And it doesn't necessarily need to be staff cuts, but those are the most readily available. 01:38:02.480 --> 01:38:09.480 Because you need to would need to come up with significant amount of money. 01:38:09.480 --> 01:38:15.480 You would do it the same way that you, if you ever rent out your basketball court. 01:38:15.480 --> 01:38:19.480 To the community to be used, let's say for. 01:38:19.480 --> 01:38:22.480 A basketball camp. 01:38:22.480 --> 01:38:25.480 The, you would rent it out. 01:38:25.480 --> 01:38:27.480 The money that would be. 01:38:27.480 --> 01:38:28.480 Received. 01:38:28.480 --> 01:38:29.480 In rent. 01:38:29.480 --> 01:38:31.480 Go back into fund 10. 01:38:31.480 --> 01:38:37.480 If the district ever decided, hey, we want to put on. 01:38:37.480 --> 01:38:39.480 A community program, which would be. 01:38:39.480 --> 01:38:42.480 A family swim night. 01:38:42.480 --> 01:38:45.480 And the district wants to hire. 01:38:46.480 --> 01:38:48.480 Staff members like lifeguards. 01:38:48.480 --> 01:38:52.480 Or teachers to come in and do a family swim night. 01:38:52.480 --> 01:38:55.480 That would be a community program under fund 80. 01:38:55.480 --> 01:38:58.480 And the cost that the district would incur for that. 01:38:58.480 --> 01:39:00.480 Could be paid out of fund 80. 01:39:00.480 --> 01:39:03.480 But this is different. 01:39:03.480 --> 01:39:05.480 It's all deep. 01:39:05.480 --> 01:39:07.480 I was going to tell you this to their blue in the face. 01:39:07.480 --> 01:39:10.480 It depends on how you have set up your program. 01:39:11.480 --> 01:39:16.480 And the district's program is set up to virtually be open to the public. 01:39:16.480 --> 01:39:20.480 Every day, very business hours. 01:39:20.480 --> 01:39:23.480 And that means. 01:39:23.480 --> 01:39:25.480 Proportionally. 01:39:25.480 --> 01:39:29.480 The cost of operating it need to come out of fund 80. 01:39:29.480 --> 01:39:33.480 Because it's not for. 01:39:33.480 --> 01:39:36.480 The students, it's for the community. 01:39:37.480 --> 01:39:40.480 I'm unsure how I can explain this. 01:39:40.480 --> 01:39:44.480 More clear. 01:39:44.480 --> 01:39:48.480 So, but. 01:39:48.480 --> 01:39:49.480 It doesn't. 01:39:49.480 --> 01:39:51.480 For purposes of. 01:39:51.480 --> 01:39:53.480 Tonight. 01:39:53.480 --> 01:39:55.480 And the for purposes of the last. 01:39:55.480 --> 01:39:58.480 Several months. 01:39:58.480 --> 01:40:03.480 The program design does not matter. 01:40:04.480 --> 01:40:06.480 What matters is. 01:40:06.480 --> 01:40:09.480 What is in the account. 01:40:09.480 --> 01:40:12.480 Because let's say you did it. 01:40:12.480 --> 01:40:16.480 You were going to do all these things and you were going to change your program. 01:40:16.480 --> 01:40:19.480 You still need money in your account. 01:40:19.480 --> 01:40:22.480 Even if you're going to do that limited fund 80 program of. 01:40:22.480 --> 01:40:24.480 Of doing a. 01:40:24.480 --> 01:40:26.480 Swim lesson. 01:40:26.480 --> 01:40:29.480 For the community open to the public. 01:40:29.480 --> 01:40:30.480 You're going to hire staff. 01:40:30.480 --> 01:40:31.480 You're going to hire lifeguards. 01:40:32.480 --> 01:40:34.480 You're going to hire a teacher. 01:40:34.480 --> 01:40:35.480 To be present. 01:40:35.480 --> 01:40:37.480 To make sure everyone's safe. 01:40:37.480 --> 01:40:41.480 You're probably going to get out on a special event insurance. 01:40:41.480 --> 01:40:43.480 Those costs. 01:40:43.480 --> 01:40:44.480 You. 01:40:44.480 --> 01:40:46.480 You barely have enough money. 01:40:46.480 --> 01:40:49.480 To pay for those. 01:40:49.480 --> 01:40:53.480 So you need to then start looking at how are we going to fund this. 01:40:53.480 --> 01:40:56.480 In any event, no matter what we do. 01:40:56.480 --> 01:40:59.480 How are we going to come up with the money for this. 01:40:59.480 --> 01:41:07.480 Because right now you do not have sufficient funds. 01:41:07.480 --> 01:41:09.480 It doesn't matter what the design is. 01:41:09.480 --> 01:41:16.480 You need to figure that out. 01:41:16.480 --> 01:41:19.480 So again, I'm very confused on what's going on. 01:41:19.480 --> 01:41:22.480 I have asked numerous time for detailed budget reports. 01:41:22.480 --> 01:41:28.480 I've asked for the documentation from DPI that says we are doing things. 01:41:28.480 --> 01:41:33.480 We are doing things wrong or illegally and we need to see what we are doing. 01:41:33.480 --> 01:41:36.480 And I have received nothing. 01:41:36.480 --> 01:41:40.480 I have talked to several people in 2014. 01:41:40.480 --> 01:41:44.480 DPI come to Annie go school district. 01:41:44.480 --> 01:41:48.480 They sat down at central office building. 01:41:48.480 --> 01:41:56.480 And they developed a fund 80 flow chart. 01:41:56.480 --> 01:42:02.480 DPI to utilize these funds. 01:42:02.480 --> 01:42:07.480 The district had clean audits of fund 80. 01:42:07.480 --> 01:42:09.480 Of all funds. 01:42:09.480 --> 01:42:17.480 So I do not understand why this is now a problem. 01:42:17.480 --> 01:42:24.480 What has changed in the 20 some years that this has been in existence. 01:42:24.480 --> 01:42:32.480 Fund 46 is a long term facilities project fund that can be used for the aquatic center. 01:42:32.480 --> 01:42:41.480 For any district building it can be amended throughout the year if things come up that need to be addressed. 01:42:41.480 --> 01:42:44.480 The board has the authority to do that. 01:42:44.480 --> 01:42:52.480 But we keep being advised we cannot use fund 46 for this. 01:42:52.480 --> 01:42:56.480 So I need the facts. 01:42:56.480 --> 01:43:02.480 We can sit here for another three weeks and talk and tell our purple in the face. 01:43:02.480 --> 01:43:09.480 But I have seen nothing that says we cannot do these things. 01:43:09.480 --> 01:43:21.480 We are being advised to do things without any documentation or proof to support it. 01:43:21.480 --> 01:43:27.480 We are being advised to do things without any information. 01:43:27.480 --> 01:43:33.480 We are being advised to do things without any information or proof to support it. 01:43:33.480 --> 01:43:41.480 We are being advised to do things without any information or proof to support it. 01:43:41.480 --> 01:43:44.480 This is my community. 01:43:44.480 --> 01:43:47.480 I live here. 01:43:47.480 --> 01:43:50.480 I graduated from here. 01:43:50.480 --> 01:43:57.480 And I think we need to figure this out. 01:43:57.480 --> 01:43:58.480 We need to have conversations. 01:43:58.480 --> 01:44:06.480 That is why this subcommittee was put together. 01:44:06.480 --> 01:44:12.480 So are we going to do that or are we going to just talk about this same thing over and over again. 01:44:12.480 --> 01:44:16.480 We don't get anywhere. 01:44:16.480 --> 01:44:19.480 Where are the budget reports? 01:44:19.480 --> 01:44:22.480 Why cannot we not get those? 01:44:22.480 --> 01:44:26.480 Were you in attendance to the previous task force? 01:44:26.480 --> 01:44:28.480 You were a correct. 01:44:28.480 --> 01:44:29.480 Task force. 01:44:29.480 --> 01:44:31.480 What task force? 01:44:31.480 --> 01:44:38.480 So it is fair to say that there was significant argument specifically over the budget. 01:44:39.480 --> 01:44:40.480 Okay. 01:44:40.480 --> 01:44:44.480 I want to make sure we are clear because there is no discussion about the budget but that 01:44:44.480 --> 01:44:50.480 task force was unsuccessful in large part because it was a back and forth over whose budget 01:44:50.480 --> 01:44:51.480 was correct. 01:44:51.480 --> 01:44:54.480 It is not fair to say that the budget wasn't provided. 01:44:54.480 --> 01:44:58.480 It is fair to say that there was not a mutual agreement on the budget. 01:44:58.480 --> 01:45:01.480 I am not looking for the proposed budget. 01:45:01.480 --> 01:45:06.480 What we are going to do, I am looking for the audited budget report. 01:45:06.480 --> 01:45:08.480 What have we spent the money on? 01:45:08.480 --> 01:45:09.480 That is what I want to see. 01:45:09.480 --> 01:45:10.480 I don't really care. 01:45:10.480 --> 01:45:17.480 We can put together any sort of numbers moving forward but I need to know what we have actually 01:45:17.480 --> 01:45:21.480 used to date. 01:45:21.480 --> 01:45:22.480 It is not that hard. 01:45:22.480 --> 01:45:23.480 It is all in Skyward. 01:45:23.480 --> 01:45:31.480 All the records from everything that is done here is in Skyward. 01:45:31.480 --> 01:45:47.480 Davis, tonight what is happening is we are discussing the continued operations. 01:45:47.480 --> 01:45:52.480 Can you clarify exactly what the sport needs to do tonight? 01:45:52.480 --> 01:45:55.480 Do we need to give direction to the foundation? 01:45:55.480 --> 01:45:59.480 Do we need to give direction to the administration? 01:45:59.480 --> 01:46:09.480 What is it exactly that we need to clarify in this meeting tonight? 01:46:09.480 --> 01:46:20.480 I think the board needs to clarify whether it intends to continue to operate the pool. 01:46:20.480 --> 01:46:23.480 And how so? 01:46:23.480 --> 01:46:37.480 Because there are these conversations that are coming up such as the one with the why recently about 01:46:37.480 --> 01:46:39.480 how the why is going to communicate. 01:46:39.480 --> 01:46:44.480 Who is going to be the point of contact? 01:46:44.480 --> 01:46:52.480 Most recently without board involvement there was a discussion of basically letting the 01:46:52.480 --> 01:47:01.480 why know we are unsure how we are going to continue to pay invoices coming in. 01:47:01.480 --> 01:47:11.480 Because those funds we can debate whether there is allowance to use fund 10 to pull for maintenance. 01:47:11.480 --> 01:47:19.480 We can debate whether there is allowance to use fund 10 or fund 46 to do massive renovations. 01:47:19.480 --> 01:47:30.480 But the payment of the YMCA's invoices I think we can all agree are properly paid out of fund 80. 01:47:30.480 --> 01:47:34.480 I haven't heard any argument about that from the board. 01:47:34.480 --> 01:47:45.480 At a minimum it needs to be figured out how the YMCA will be paid. 01:47:45.480 --> 01:47:52.480 So I agree that I don't want this to go another three weeks of discussion. 01:47:52.480 --> 01:47:55.480 I don't think administration wants that either. 01:47:55.480 --> 01:48:04.480 I think administration needs guidance as to how it is going to move forward with the pool. 01:48:04.480 --> 01:48:13.480 What's the monthly YMCA cost approximately? 01:48:13.480 --> 01:48:17.480 Brian can you answer that please sir? 01:48:33.480 --> 01:48:40.480 So beginning in October is whenever we begin to pay you on a monthly basis. 01:48:41.480 --> 01:48:45.480 Can you come to the microphone please? 01:48:45.480 --> 01:48:52.480 Thank you sir. 01:48:52.480 --> 01:48:59.480 So our contract or agreement was set up that we have three installment payments. 01:48:59.480 --> 01:49:04.480 So we cover the costs July, August, September. 01:49:04.480 --> 01:49:06.480 Then we bill you. 01:49:06.480 --> 01:49:08.480 That's when you need to have the funds. 01:49:08.480 --> 01:49:11.480 When our books end we get them in the middle of the month. 01:49:11.480 --> 01:49:14.480 We would bill you sometime in the end of October. 01:49:14.480 --> 01:49:19.480 And we have it set up then it's I think it's a four month and then a five month. 01:49:19.480 --> 01:49:24.480 So it meets up with your operating budget fiscal year also on that. 01:49:24.480 --> 01:49:26.480 So that's the way it's been designed. 01:49:26.480 --> 01:49:31.480 We were asked to a few weeks back to bill on a monthly basis now. 01:49:31.480 --> 01:49:36.480 Which we hadn't been but so we just put that together on a monthly basis. 01:49:36.480 --> 01:49:40.480 The month of July was a little over $32,000 for operations. 01:49:40.480 --> 01:49:42.480 That's what is owed to you currently. 01:49:42.480 --> 01:49:45.480 That's what would be owed for the month of July. 01:49:45.480 --> 01:49:47.480 Just for the YMCA. 01:49:47.480 --> 01:49:49.480 Just the YMCA. 01:49:49.480 --> 01:49:50.480 Correct. 01:49:50.480 --> 01:49:51.480 Question. 01:49:51.480 --> 01:49:53.480 So can I ask him a question? 01:49:53.480 --> 01:49:54.480 Wait just one second. 01:49:54.480 --> 01:49:58.480 Jean I want to make sure that you're finished with Brian before. 01:49:58.480 --> 01:49:59.480 Yes sir. 01:49:59.480 --> 01:50:00.480 Okay. 01:50:00.480 --> 01:50:05.480 So is that a pretty average so we need about $96,000? 01:50:05.480 --> 01:50:14.480 To get us through July, August, September, due in October? 01:50:14.480 --> 01:50:16.480 Probably probably even a hundred. 01:50:16.480 --> 01:50:18.480 It may be less. 01:50:18.480 --> 01:50:21.480 We have more hours in the summer than we do in the fall. 01:50:21.480 --> 01:50:22.480 Okay. 01:50:22.480 --> 01:50:27.480 But based off of what took place in July with all the months with more operations is probably a little bit more. 01:50:27.480 --> 01:50:28.480 Okay. 01:50:28.480 --> 01:50:33.480 I would say I'm guessing 20 high twenties to low thirties. 01:50:34.480 --> 01:50:36.480 And again. 01:50:36.480 --> 01:50:39.480 Although we will need to be paid. 01:50:39.480 --> 01:50:42.480 We don't have to be paid until October. 01:50:42.480 --> 01:50:43.480 Right. 01:50:43.480 --> 01:50:48.480 Can we ask the foundation a question? 01:50:48.480 --> 01:50:50.480 Tom cost. 01:50:50.480 --> 01:50:51.480 Tom is the chair. 01:50:51.480 --> 01:50:52.480 Or the chair. 01:50:52.480 --> 01:50:54.480 Can I ask him a question? 01:50:54.480 --> 01:50:55.480 Yes. 01:50:56.480 --> 01:51:16.480 If that's the rough number that we need to satisfy the why is that something that the foundation is prepared to support until we can get someone from DPI in front of us to go through this so we can put this to done. 01:51:16.480 --> 01:51:20.480 Right now we're kind of on board with you and Mike. 01:51:21.480 --> 01:51:26.480 We've seen nothing when you apply for a grant when we apply for a grant. 01:51:26.480 --> 01:51:27.480 I'm sorry. 01:51:27.480 --> 01:51:28.480 That was me. 01:51:28.480 --> 01:51:31.480 We have to provide detailed budget numbers. 01:51:31.480 --> 01:51:32.480 Where was the money spent? 01:51:32.480 --> 01:51:35.480 Where will it be spent and what do we need? 01:51:35.480 --> 01:51:37.480 When we see those numbers. 01:51:37.480 --> 01:51:38.480 Yes. 01:51:38.480 --> 01:51:39.480 We have donors. 01:51:39.480 --> 01:51:40.480 We have money. 01:51:40.480 --> 01:51:49.480 But it could be that the request to fill on a monthly basis to make all this do when the fund 80 money comes in later in the year would be to get us in a room. 01:51:49.480 --> 01:51:56.480 We do get us in a real budget bind instead of our normal bill and get paid in October. 01:51:56.480 --> 01:52:06.480 So this tightness that Davis is telling you about is new this year with upcoming next three months because they wouldn't have been paid in a typical year. 01:52:06.480 --> 01:52:11.480 They're being asked to be paid this July, August, September. 01:52:11.480 --> 01:52:21.480 For the first transparency purposes to ensure that we can see the amounts because that's been a focal point of this discussion of the cost. 01:52:21.480 --> 01:52:25.480 So I think that's fair to also add for transparency purposes. 01:52:25.480 --> 01:52:27.480 I appreciate your feedback, Brian. 01:52:27.480 --> 01:52:32.480 It's very helpful and breaking it down as to the current or the monthly. 01:52:32.480 --> 01:52:34.480 So thank you for that. 01:52:34.480 --> 01:52:35.480 Yeah, I agree. 01:52:35.480 --> 01:52:36.480 That was good to break it down. 01:52:36.480 --> 01:52:40.480 It's just that the contract didn't need to be changed to have it all do now. 01:52:40.480 --> 01:52:42.480 It can be paid in October. 01:52:42.480 --> 01:52:45.480 Fund 80 money typically comes in toward the end of the year. 01:52:45.480 --> 01:52:49.480 This budget would look a lot different, but none of us, I have not seen it. 01:52:49.480 --> 01:52:53.480 You have not seen it, so we really can't address it. 01:52:53.480 --> 01:52:54.480 Okay. 01:52:54.480 --> 01:52:56.480 But yes, the money to answer your question. 01:52:56.480 --> 01:52:57.480 Yes. 01:52:57.480 --> 01:52:58.480 Sorry. 01:52:58.480 --> 01:52:59.480 Get my hands off of that. 01:53:00.480 --> 01:53:07.480 There is also something to be said for, you know, a completely business in good faith and not entering contracts, and you don't have the money to pay. 01:53:07.480 --> 01:53:13.480 So that's also something to get their work through October, knowing that we don't have any dollars to give them. 01:53:17.480 --> 01:53:24.480 So why did the contract change if they were going to be billed that way as the agreement that was signed in June. 01:53:25.480 --> 01:53:26.480 I don't think the contract changed. 01:53:26.480 --> 01:53:34.480 I think there was this act asked to be just broken down for transparency and so that we could see the money bill. 01:53:34.480 --> 01:53:35.480 That is correct. 01:53:35.480 --> 01:53:39.480 The contract was not changed. 01:53:39.480 --> 01:53:51.480 Since we're talking about the contract, why hasn't some of the district's obligations been met in the contract that was signed in June? 01:53:51.480 --> 01:53:54.480 Such as what? 01:54:06.480 --> 01:54:12.480 The maintenance pieces because there isn't a fund 80 position. 01:54:12.480 --> 01:54:17.480 And there isn't a fund 80 funded maintenance person. 01:54:17.480 --> 01:54:21.480 Or there is not a split job description. 01:54:21.480 --> 01:54:27.480 Dedicating a maintenance person partially to the pool. 01:54:27.480 --> 01:54:29.480 It's my understanding that doesn't have to be. 01:54:29.480 --> 01:54:32.480 That's a clerical thing that happens in the office. 01:54:32.480 --> 01:54:38.480 If you want to build something to fund 46 fund 80 fund 10. 01:54:38.480 --> 01:54:39.480 That happens there. 01:54:39.480 --> 01:54:44.480 It doesn't necessarily need a separate contract and all of these other things. 01:54:48.480 --> 01:54:55.480 You might find it interesting to refer to the handout that was provided by your finance director. 01:54:55.480 --> 01:55:01.480 I don't know how many meetings ago with a list of fund 80 expenses. 01:55:01.480 --> 01:55:05.480 Because social expenses for community events. 01:55:05.480 --> 01:55:08.480 Part of a salary for scheduling non district events. 01:55:08.480 --> 01:55:12.480 Some custodial costs like they're in here. 01:55:12.480 --> 01:55:18.480 So there's something that you could explore and look into further. 01:55:18.480 --> 01:55:27.480 But it appears that that is reasonable, realistic, expense attached to fund 80. 01:55:27.480 --> 01:55:40.480 Sharing it because this is not the only table saying that a personnel issue or not a personnel position with dollars attached from fund 80. 01:55:40.480 --> 01:55:47.480 Other district are doing it. 01:55:47.480 --> 01:55:53.480 And I think that was something that the subcommittee was going to. 01:55:53.480 --> 01:56:02.480 One of the things that we were going to start addressing the meetings was the funding of the position. 01:56:02.480 --> 01:56:04.480 Yeah, I would like to comment to the next. 01:56:04.480 --> 01:56:08.480 I do think what you did say Angie is. 01:56:08.480 --> 01:56:16.480 That is somewhat how I interpreted that to is that the whole point of that committee when I remember talking about it back in June. 01:56:16.480 --> 01:56:24.480 Is that this committee was supposed to be the inner person until a fund 80 person was established. 01:56:24.480 --> 01:56:28.480 Who would then take over that middle person. 01:56:29.480 --> 01:56:32.480 The Y comes to that committee and says, hey, we need to order this. 01:56:32.480 --> 01:56:33.480 We need to pay for this. 01:56:33.480 --> 01:56:35.480 And then that committee would send it to the board the next. 01:56:35.480 --> 01:56:38.480 Whatever it would be for the board to initiate payment of that. 01:56:38.480 --> 01:56:43.480 I think that that still. 01:56:43.480 --> 01:56:49.480 I just I think that needs to be the vehicle until someone from GPI comes in or until fund 80 is established. 01:56:49.480 --> 01:56:57.480 So I mean, if that is something that the foundation is willing to do now that we have it scheduled for tomorrow. 01:56:58.480 --> 01:57:05.480 Is the foundation willing Tom to do anything to get us through. 01:57:05.480 --> 01:57:07.480 That October bill. 01:57:07.480 --> 01:57:12.480 So that we can get on a monthly subcommittee meeting. 01:57:12.480 --> 01:57:16.480 And start having regular budgets talked about. 01:57:17.480 --> 01:57:22.480 Can I ask for clarification. 01:57:22.480 --> 01:57:25.480 Are you when you are asking this of Mr. Coss? 01:57:25.480 --> 01:57:32.480 Are you asking only for the portion that is owed to the YMCA because that's only one bill? 01:57:32.480 --> 01:57:34.480 Yes, I was asking that. 01:57:34.480 --> 01:57:37.480 I was. 01:57:46.480 --> 01:58:08.480 And 01:58:08.480 --> 01:58:13.480 you had mentioned the other in the subcommittee would be the point of contact with the Y. 01:58:14.480 --> 01:58:19.480 The admin team is also going to be in that conversation. 01:58:19.480 --> 01:58:23.480 So that nothing is lost in emails or anything like that. 01:58:23.480 --> 01:58:27.480 Some of those are not checking out emails on the basis. 01:58:27.480 --> 01:58:30.480 We're working for time and stuff. 01:58:30.480 --> 01:58:33.480 That way nothing is missed. 01:58:33.480 --> 01:58:38.480 My major concern remains with the day to day operation of the pool. 01:58:39.480 --> 01:58:44.480 And they really haven't solved that issue as far as I can tell. 01:58:44.480 --> 01:58:49.480 And I understand that that's going to happen for right now. 01:58:49.480 --> 01:59:04.480 So what they really need is somebody from either our maintenance department or some other pool group that provides pool maintenance that they can contact somebody to help them. 01:59:04.480 --> 01:59:09.480 Now they're just having no direction at all. 01:59:09.480 --> 01:59:16.480 There's nobody who set foot in that facility in the last two months. 01:59:16.480 --> 01:59:30.480 I would like to also just add I am fully hearing what Davis is saying. 01:59:30.480 --> 01:59:32.480 I'm hearing what other board members are saying. 01:59:32.480 --> 01:59:36.480 I am seeing what everybody's aspects are. 01:59:36.480 --> 01:59:39.480 I again just. 01:59:39.480 --> 01:59:57.480 I would have loved if there was someone from your guys's meeting last week that maybe a board member could have been to or or that debrief could have been put into paperwork that was brought to us to review something just to give me a little bit more information on that. 01:59:58.480 --> 02:00:03.480 I'm hearing everybody on what they're saying, but I just. 02:00:03.480 --> 02:00:08.480 So Angie has been a part of those calls before. Correct, Angie. 02:00:08.480 --> 02:00:11.480 Yes, I have been part of. 02:00:11.480 --> 02:00:14.480 And it was not present when Angie was having that. 02:00:14.480 --> 02:00:17.480 So I let Angie report. 02:00:17.480 --> 02:00:20.480 What it is she learned from that call with the. 02:00:20.480 --> 02:00:23.480 Yeah, and it's just. 02:00:23.480 --> 02:00:26.480 It's what we keep saying over and over nothing is changing. 02:00:26.480 --> 02:00:29.480 We're not trying to pull the wall in your eyes. 02:00:29.480 --> 02:00:31.480 We're not trying to pull it back. 02:00:31.480 --> 02:00:32.480 It is what it is. 02:00:32.480 --> 02:00:35.480 And I wish that they were in clear of their language on the website. 02:00:35.480 --> 02:00:43.480 And I wish that they would come up and get these meetings and I wish that they would provide clarity to not only our school district, but all of those districts in the entire state. 02:00:43.480 --> 02:00:47.480 So everybody could be on the same page because like why do you have to do so. 02:00:48.480 --> 02:00:50.480 I mean, it's not. 02:00:50.480 --> 02:00:53.480 This is public funds and that's why we're in this particular. 02:00:56.480 --> 02:01:01.480 I just feel like they need to get their act together on their own. 02:01:01.480 --> 02:01:03.480 But they need to come up. 02:01:03.480 --> 02:01:05.480 Because I would be just like you. 02:01:05.480 --> 02:01:06.480 I'd be like, I want to hear. 02:01:08.480 --> 02:01:09.480 I want to ask my questions. 02:01:09.480 --> 02:01:12.480 And if I want to be able to wrap my head around it, I don't blame you at all. 02:01:12.480 --> 02:01:14.480 I do the same exactly. 02:01:15.480 --> 02:01:17.480 And I appreciate that. 02:01:17.480 --> 02:01:23.480 And I just want to say my questions and my need to hear things does not mean. 02:01:23.480 --> 02:01:27.480 I don't mean it to minimize at all what you guys have put into this. 02:01:27.480 --> 02:01:32.480 I understand that you've been dealing with this long before I sat my butt at this table. 02:01:32.480 --> 02:01:35.480 I just, but I need before I can make. 02:01:35.480 --> 02:01:41.480 I have to feel comfortable with what I'm hearing, what I'm knowing and how I'm understanding it and that I have. 02:01:42.480 --> 02:01:43.480 Because I'm no offense. 02:01:43.480 --> 02:01:48.480 But what if I have a question that none of you have ever thought to ask this person, this official person? 02:01:48.480 --> 02:01:56.480 And I'm not saying that is or isn't true, but what if and I need that for myself to feel like I'm making an informed decision? 02:01:56.480 --> 02:02:03.480 Well, I'm saying is that I cannot vote to see the public funds. 02:02:03.480 --> 02:02:06.480 And I hope all of us at this table would not give it. 02:02:06.480 --> 02:02:07.480 Absolutely. 02:02:07.480 --> 02:02:11.480 And we would err on the side of caution if anything else to not do that. 02:02:11.480 --> 02:02:14.480 We can wait to get the information. 02:02:14.480 --> 02:02:16.480 You know, yes, we need the information. 02:02:16.480 --> 02:02:17.480 Let's get them up here. 02:02:17.480 --> 02:02:18.480 Let's talk to them. 02:02:18.480 --> 02:02:20.480 However, that needs to happen. 02:02:20.480 --> 02:02:25.480 But let's, let's not. 02:02:25.480 --> 02:02:27.480 Let's not use public funds. 02:02:27.480 --> 02:02:28.480 That is not right. 02:02:28.480 --> 02:02:33.480 That's, when we go and that's not right, we should not be doing that. 02:02:33.480 --> 02:02:41.480 I also think in reference to for action A that we're talking right now, I do think this discussion is necessary in essential. 02:02:41.480 --> 02:02:46.480 But I think with possible action, at my opinion, we're putting the card before the horse. 02:02:46.480 --> 02:02:51.480 I think tomorrow's subcommittee meeting has to happen before I am comfortable taking any action. 02:02:51.480 --> 02:02:53.480 I don't think that's my hearing. 02:02:53.480 --> 02:02:54.480 Any proposed action? 02:02:54.480 --> 02:02:55.480 No, I'm just saying. 02:02:55.480 --> 02:02:56.480 I'm just putting that. 02:02:56.480 --> 02:02:57.480 No, I don't disagree with you. 02:02:57.480 --> 02:02:59.480 I just, I guess there's. 02:02:59.480 --> 02:03:01.480 I'm just putting my opinion. 02:03:02.480 --> 02:03:15.480 I'm just going to share that our, our own policy fund 80 states, the community services program is accounted for in fund 80. 02:03:15.480 --> 02:03:21.480 And the board may fund the program by a combination of local tax levy and user, user slash rental fees. 02:03:21.480 --> 02:03:25.480 Fund 80 expenses shall not be paid from the fund 10 general fund. 02:03:25.480 --> 02:03:33.480 I'm sharing that simply in preparation for tomorrow and in all the discussions about interpretations of the law. 02:03:33.480 --> 02:03:36.480 That we should also not forget about our own policy. 02:03:36.480 --> 02:03:43.480 And we shouldn't forget about Wisconsin statute, which outlines ineligible costs for fund 80. 02:03:43.480 --> 02:03:49.480 Costs that are not the actual additional cost to operate the community programs and services. 02:03:49.480 --> 02:03:53.480 Those are ineligible costs to be charged to fund 80. 02:03:54.480 --> 02:04:00.480 Costs that would be incurred by the school district that the community programs and services were not provided. 02:04:00.480 --> 02:04:04.480 Those are also ineligible costs to be charged to fund 80. 02:04:04.480 --> 02:04:11.480 And I would add, Jean from Wisconsin statute. 02:04:11.480 --> 02:04:18.480 120.13 sub 19. 02:04:18.480 --> 02:04:26.480 It says costs associated with programs and services shall not be included in the school district shared costs. 02:04:26.480 --> 02:04:33.480 Under section 121.07 sub six, which is the general fund. 02:04:33.480 --> 02:04:34.480 Fun 10. 02:04:34.480 --> 02:04:37.480 Agreed. Can you say that last part? 02:04:37.480 --> 02:04:40.480 And the last, the last stop. 02:04:41.480 --> 02:04:48.480 Costs associated with such programs and services, i.e. a community program or service. 02:04:48.480 --> 02:04:52.480 Shall not be included in the school district shared costs. 02:04:52.480 --> 02:04:58.480 Under Wisconsin statute 121.07 sub six. 02:04:58.480 --> 02:05:06.480 I, I understand people have a different opinion clearly. 02:05:07.480 --> 02:05:15.480 I have an ethical duty to this institution. 02:05:15.480 --> 02:05:17.480 To advise. 02:05:17.480 --> 02:05:22.480 And to keep the district out of legal form. 02:05:22.480 --> 02:05:25.480 This is what I'm attempting to do. 02:05:25.480 --> 02:05:28.480 I'm not trying to mislead anybody. 02:05:28.480 --> 02:05:33.480 I'm not trying to lead someone to a decision because that's the decision I like. 02:05:33.480 --> 02:05:37.480 I can't do that. 02:05:37.480 --> 02:05:46.480 What I'm saying to you all is it does not matter what program or service you implement. 02:05:46.480 --> 02:05:48.480 Today. 02:05:48.480 --> 02:05:56.480 You could make a motion tonight to change the entire community service program. 02:05:56.480 --> 02:05:59.480 And tomorrow your issue will remain the same. 02:05:59.480 --> 02:06:02.480 You have no money. 02:06:02.480 --> 02:06:06.480 Not in any real sense. 02:06:06.480 --> 02:06:15.480 That is the issue that needs to be addressed tonight. 02:06:15.480 --> 02:06:27.480 And has been the issue that needs to be addressed since March. 02:06:27.480 --> 02:06:32.480 I think we need to move this to tomorrow's subcommittee to discuss that. 02:06:32.480 --> 02:06:44.480 It is my understanding that fund 80 kin fluctuate into the negative moving forward as long as at the end of the next end of the school year coming up here next year that it is in the positive. 02:06:44.480 --> 02:06:50.480 And I think we just we need to have some more conversations and see what we can do to figure this out. 02:06:58.480 --> 02:07:13.480 Sir any objections to moving this to the subcommittee for further discussion tomorrow evening for Angie and Mike and Jean to discuss and bring a recommendation back to buildings and grounds. 02:07:13.480 --> 02:07:19.480 I know we're not answering the question tonight as to what. 02:07:19.480 --> 02:07:24.480 The direction that we need to give to the administration. 02:07:25.480 --> 02:07:27.480 Yes, you may. 02:07:27.480 --> 02:07:30.480 So what that I feel like we're going to be looking at. 02:07:30.480 --> 02:07:33.480 So the foundation knows. 02:07:33.480 --> 02:07:35.480 Time cost. 02:07:36.480 --> 02:07:40.480 Notice that we will be looking to the foundation for some funding. 02:07:40.480 --> 02:07:41.480 Help. 02:07:41.480 --> 02:07:43.480 Keep us afloat. 02:07:43.480 --> 02:07:44.480 Right. 02:07:44.480 --> 02:07:51.480 And then also we will be looking at DPI to get in touch with them to get them up here to speak to the full board. 02:07:51.480 --> 02:07:54.480 Not just a couple of us, but I'm just a subcommittee. 02:07:54.480 --> 02:08:00.480 I feel like they need to speak to the full board to get everybody's questions answered. 02:08:00.480 --> 02:08:03.480 And hopefully we can get them up here sooner than later. 02:08:04.480 --> 02:08:08.480 So we can actually make some decisions and put this. 02:08:08.480 --> 02:08:13.480 You know, all of our questions to rest on that. 02:08:13.480 --> 02:08:17.480 Wait, is there a potential to give a timeframe for this? 02:08:17.480 --> 02:08:20.480 But when we get DPI here, I understand we can't help. 02:08:20.480 --> 02:08:23.480 Okay, because I mean, let's. 02:08:23.480 --> 02:08:28.480 I have never once not supported the aquatic center. 02:08:29.480 --> 02:08:38.480 What I have not supported is the inaction of us collectively to create a fiscally responsible sustainable plan. 02:08:38.480 --> 02:08:44.480 And the fact that this is my stack of papers for the aquatic center since March. 02:08:44.480 --> 02:08:48.480 And my stack of papers for academic achievement is this big. 02:08:48.480 --> 02:08:56.480 The fact that we have this agenda item come on committee after committee and month after month with the same outcomes. 02:08:57.480 --> 02:08:59.480 Nothing. 02:08:59.480 --> 02:09:01.480 We still don't have money. 02:09:01.480 --> 02:09:03.480 We still don't know how we're going to fund it. 02:09:03.480 --> 02:09:06.480 We're still having the same conversations. 02:09:06.480 --> 02:09:12.480 I don't know what we so now we are in agreement, bring DPI in. 02:09:12.480 --> 02:09:18.480 When I had checked on this in the past, that could take quite some time before we get DPI in. 02:09:18.480 --> 02:09:20.480 So perhaps tomorrow night. 02:09:20.480 --> 02:09:26.480 The subcommittee may want to consider how much fun $10. 02:09:26.480 --> 02:09:28.480 They would be willing to allocate. 02:09:28.480 --> 02:09:35.480 So fun, 10 educational dollars with what the account is to allocate to pay expenses. 02:09:35.480 --> 02:09:37.480 Should it be needed? 02:09:37.480 --> 02:09:40.480 I'm hearing the request for donations right now, though. 02:09:40.480 --> 02:09:42.480 We don't have money. 02:09:42.480 --> 02:09:45.480 So what's the amount? 02:09:45.480 --> 02:09:51.480 The subcommittee is comfortable bringing to the finance committee to recommend. 02:09:51.480 --> 02:09:59.480 X amount of educational dollars be set aside because how long do we wait for DPI? 02:09:59.480 --> 02:10:02.480 How long do we have the same discussion and say you're wrong, you're wrong. 02:10:02.480 --> 02:10:03.480 I don't believe you. 02:10:03.480 --> 02:10:08.480 Like how long are we going to do that for? 02:10:08.480 --> 02:10:10.480 Because I don't think that's fair to the swim club. 02:10:10.480 --> 02:10:12.480 I don't think that's fair to the YNC. 02:10:12.480 --> 02:10:14.480 I don't think that's fair to any single one of us. 02:10:14.480 --> 02:10:16.480 I'm kind of an event right now. 02:10:16.480 --> 02:10:18.480 But we aren't giving ourselves a timetable. 02:10:18.480 --> 02:10:20.480 We're saying we're going to push it off. 02:10:20.480 --> 02:10:22.480 So tomorrow night, we're not going to have DPI here. 02:10:22.480 --> 02:10:26.480 So we're going to push it off until next month and hope that we get DPI here. 02:10:26.480 --> 02:10:28.480 And then we're going to push it off. 02:10:28.480 --> 02:10:30.480 How long are we going to do that? 02:10:30.480 --> 02:10:33.480 I guess this is my immediate question before we move on. 02:10:33.480 --> 02:10:39.480 We want to have a timeframe of the amount of potential debt we want to collect. 02:10:39.480 --> 02:10:45.480 To have to expense out of Fund 10 should the DPI representatives, the two district auditors, 02:10:45.480 --> 02:10:50.480 our attorney and district administration who all sat in a meeting last week with DPI, 02:10:50.480 --> 02:10:53.480 stand to be correct. 02:10:53.480 --> 02:10:55.480 So a dollar amount for tomorrow night. 02:10:55.480 --> 02:11:04.480 And then does this board want to collectively agree to a timeframe that we'd like DPI to get in or we make a decision? 02:11:04.480 --> 02:11:07.480 Unfortunately, I don't think we control DPI's timeframe. 02:11:07.480 --> 02:11:10.480 And that's an essential part for, I don't disagree with you. 02:11:10.480 --> 02:11:16.480 As is to me anyway, the accounting of past expenses. 02:11:16.480 --> 02:11:26.480 I mean, I would really much like to see where all projected, how the projected $73,000 turned into $152,000. 02:11:26.480 --> 02:11:27.480 I need to see where that is. 02:11:27.480 --> 02:11:28.480 I entirely get that. 02:11:28.480 --> 02:11:31.480 But I don't feel like I can tell we at least talk to DPI. 02:11:31.480 --> 02:11:33.480 I am not comfortable setting a timeframe. 02:11:33.480 --> 02:11:36.480 I mean, to see what their timeframe is. 02:11:36.480 --> 02:11:40.480 It's good waiting like six months for DPI to come in and knowing. 02:11:40.480 --> 02:11:50.480 I would like to at least make that call the DPI and see what their response to our request is. 02:11:50.480 --> 02:11:53.480 And then I would be more comfortable considering a timeframe. 02:11:53.480 --> 02:11:54.480 Fair enough. 02:11:55.480 --> 02:11:58.480 Jill, just to correct one thing you said. 02:11:58.480 --> 02:12:02.480 You indicated that if there's a continuing deficit. 02:12:02.480 --> 02:12:04.480 And. 02:12:04.480 --> 02:12:08.480 Fund 80 is depleted how that would be paid for you. 02:12:08.480 --> 02:12:10.480 We'd use one 10 money. 02:12:10.480 --> 02:12:14.480 So what you would have to do in such a situation is you would actually have to continue to let. 02:12:14.480 --> 02:12:18.480 Even if your program is one. 02:12:18.480 --> 02:12:19.480 Okay. 02:12:20.480 --> 02:12:28.480 So let's say you have $100,000 in deficit and your clothes, whatever program you're operating. 02:12:28.480 --> 02:12:31.480 You then need to levy $100,000. 02:12:31.480 --> 02:12:39.480 So if we're in a deficit for this and what the administration and you yourself as our attorney are telling us is correct. 02:12:39.480 --> 02:12:47.480 Then the taxpayers would need to pay back the debt through the local tax levy. 02:12:48.480 --> 02:12:49.480 Correct. 02:12:49.480 --> 02:12:50.480 Correct. 02:12:50.480 --> 02:12:51.480 Correct. 02:12:51.480 --> 02:12:56.480 Or through the generosity of the community that has chimed in again and again. 02:12:56.480 --> 02:12:57.480 Yeah. 02:12:57.480 --> 02:12:58.480 Correct. 02:12:58.480 --> 02:13:01.480 Or any other revenues that are slated to come in. 02:13:01.480 --> 02:13:06.480 I'm glad you're corrected. 02:13:06.480 --> 02:13:07.480 Yes. 02:13:07.480 --> 02:13:15.480 Thank you for that correction because I was going to let you know that that is not going to be put on the finance committee to then misappropriate fund 10 funds to continue 80s deficit. 02:13:15.480 --> 02:13:22.480 So I'm just glad that Davis corrected you on that because I was going to object to your statement of that going to the finance committee. 02:13:22.480 --> 02:13:24.480 Well, I mean, it would have to be paid, right? 02:13:24.480 --> 02:13:25.480 Yeah. 02:13:25.480 --> 02:13:26.480 It was my point. 02:13:26.480 --> 02:13:29.480 At the end of the day, there's outstanding bills because we don't have money has to be paid. 02:13:29.480 --> 02:13:32.480 So I'm glad we collectively have that answer. 02:13:32.480 --> 02:13:36.480 I hope we don't have to go to taxpayers to ask for money because we didn't pay bills. 02:13:36.480 --> 02:13:37.480 Absolutely. 02:13:37.480 --> 02:13:38.480 I agree. 02:13:46.480 --> 02:13:48.480 I'm sorry, Carol. 02:13:48.480 --> 02:13:53.480 I can't entertain any questions from the audience. 02:14:03.480 --> 02:14:06.480 I hear everybody talking. 02:14:06.480 --> 02:14:09.480 I hear going to get in there. 02:14:09.480 --> 02:14:11.480 What they say. 02:14:12.480 --> 02:14:14.480 I'm going to go back to. 02:14:14.480 --> 02:14:22.480 I've not been part of any of the DPI discussions in the rooms on the phone calls. 02:14:22.480 --> 02:14:31.480 I trust my administrative team that they're going to be asking all those hard questions and they're going to be bringing all those answers to us. 02:14:31.480 --> 02:14:40.480 I personally do not need DPI to sit in front of me and ask any questions to because we have an administrative team that we have put in place. 02:14:41.480 --> 02:14:50.480 That we have, they've proven their success over many years of student achievement. 02:14:50.480 --> 02:14:52.480 And Jill, I have to agree with you. 02:14:52.480 --> 02:14:59.480 Student achievement is not even been discussed tonight as much as we're discussing a pool. 02:14:59.480 --> 02:15:01.480 Is the pool important? 02:15:01.480 --> 02:15:02.480 Yes. 02:15:02.480 --> 02:15:07.480 But what's more important than a pool is student achievement. 02:15:08.480 --> 02:15:12.480 I believe that we can move forward on something. 02:15:12.480 --> 02:15:16.480 I just don't know what that something is tonight. 02:15:16.480 --> 02:15:25.480 Is it stopping all activity at the pool until this is resolved? 02:15:25.480 --> 02:15:26.480 I don't know. 02:15:26.480 --> 02:15:29.480 That was discussed at one point. 02:15:30.480 --> 02:15:38.480 That is an option on the table is to lock the door at the pool and close it up until a decision is made. 02:15:38.480 --> 02:15:41.480 I don't know if that's the right decision or the wrong decision. 02:15:41.480 --> 02:15:47.480 However, for me, I don't need DPI to sit here and answer any of my questions. 02:15:47.480 --> 02:15:54.480 My questions can be answered with the lady setting to my left and those administrators that are sitting around that table. 02:15:54.480 --> 02:15:59.480 Because that's what we pay them for is to lead us and direct us. 02:15:59.480 --> 02:16:06.480 That's what we pay Davis our attorney for is to lead and give advice to us. 02:16:06.480 --> 02:16:13.480 And the attorney has said over and over and over the school cannot pay for the pool. 02:16:13.480 --> 02:16:17.480 Fund 10, fund 46 cannot pay for the for the pool. 02:16:17.480 --> 02:16:20.480 It has to rely upon fund 80. 02:16:20.480 --> 02:16:25.480 We don't know what the board is going to vote in October for fund 80. 02:16:25.480 --> 02:16:29.480 We're assuming and we all know what that means. 02:16:29.480 --> 02:16:34.480 We are assuming that we're going to continue fund 80. 02:16:34.480 --> 02:16:36.480 But we may not continue fund 80. 02:16:36.480 --> 02:16:42.480 It just depends on what happens at the budget hearing coming up this fall. 02:16:43.480 --> 02:16:53.480 So I think kicking the can down the road more and more like Jill has mentioned is doing a disservice to our administration. 02:16:53.480 --> 02:16:55.480 They're still in a quandary. 02:16:55.480 --> 02:16:57.480 Jake doesn't know what to do. 02:16:57.480 --> 02:17:01.480 He doesn't want to let the building deteriorate any more than what it is. 02:17:01.480 --> 02:17:05.480 Because yes, Mike, it is a school building. 02:17:05.480 --> 02:17:07.480 It belongs to us. 02:17:07.480 --> 02:17:10.480 But we are limited in what we can do. 02:17:11.480 --> 02:17:12.480 Per. 02:17:12.480 --> 02:17:19.480 DPI and many times I don't know how many times DPI has met with our admin team and our attorney. 02:17:19.480 --> 02:17:25.480 And we're hearing the same thing from DPI every time that they have a meeting. 02:17:25.480 --> 02:17:28.480 To our administration team. 02:17:28.480 --> 02:17:33.480 So kicking the can further down the road. 02:17:33.480 --> 02:17:37.480 I think it's not doing a justice to. 02:17:38.480 --> 02:17:43.480 It's an injustice to our administrative team. 02:17:43.480 --> 02:17:49.480 I think the decision can be made can be reached tonight as to what we need to do. 02:17:49.480 --> 02:17:56.480 At one point I heard Tom cost say that there was two million dollars that he has for in the foundation. 02:17:56.480 --> 02:17:58.480 Where's it at? 02:17:59.480 --> 02:18:08.480 Because we said in the very beginning when this came out in March that if the money is not available for fund 80. 02:18:08.480 --> 02:18:13.480 Then the foundation was to have to pay for whatever dollars was left over. 02:18:13.480 --> 02:18:14.480 All right. 02:18:14.480 --> 02:18:16.480 So there's no money in fund 80. 02:18:16.480 --> 02:18:18.480 So the foundation. 02:18:18.480 --> 02:18:26.480 Or lack of a better word the foundation needs to pony up or we just cease. 02:18:27.480 --> 02:18:29.480 The operation of the pool. 02:18:29.480 --> 02:18:42.480 I can tell you I've had many business leaders who begged me not to say their name in this community that have approached me over the last few weeks and said close it up. 02:18:42.480 --> 02:18:47.480 Repurpose that building for something else for the school. 02:18:47.480 --> 02:18:54.480 That's business leaders and I asked them can I say your name no do not do that because of fear of retaliation. 02:18:54.480 --> 02:18:57.480 And that's a shame that there's that in our community. 02:18:57.480 --> 02:18:58.480 But there is. 02:18:58.480 --> 02:19:03.480 And we've created that not we but people have created that in our community. 02:19:03.480 --> 02:19:07.480 Thank you social media. 02:19:07.480 --> 02:19:08.480 Where do we go from here? 02:19:08.480 --> 02:19:09.480 I don't know. 02:19:09.480 --> 02:19:23.480 I've heard what Kristen said in the very beginning was do we make a motion to receive the remainder of the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars that the administrative team asked for in the beginning. 02:19:23.480 --> 02:19:37.480 Because apparently our admin team went through the work to see that we needed the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars plus that seventy five thousand that brought the budget up to zero. 02:19:37.480 --> 02:19:44.480 Then the two hundred and fifty was going to carry the pool until fund eighty money potentially was coming in. 02:19:44.480 --> 02:19:49.480 And then that two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was reduced to a hundred thousand. 02:19:49.480 --> 02:20:03.480 So do we make a motion tonight to give the foundation one week two weeks to pay the hundred and fifty thousand dollars that should have been paid back in June whenever the admin team brought that recommendation to the board. 02:20:03.480 --> 02:20:07.480 I mean I heard you say that in the very beginning. 02:20:07.480 --> 02:20:08.480 Is that where we are? 02:20:08.480 --> 02:20:13.480 I think I think that's where we are. 02:20:13.480 --> 02:20:17.480 We need we can operate. 02:20:17.480 --> 02:20:19.480 I mean we owe electric bill. 02:20:19.480 --> 02:20:22.480 How much is the electric bill a month? 02:20:22.480 --> 02:20:27.480 I know you don't like giving numbers because everybody holds you to those numbers exactly. 02:20:27.480 --> 02:20:29.480 Seven thousand dollars a month. 02:20:29.480 --> 02:20:32.480 Has the electric bill been paid for June? 02:20:32.480 --> 02:20:35.480 The electric bill is unpaid in June. 02:20:35.480 --> 02:20:37.480 June is paid. 02:20:37.480 --> 02:20:39.480 July has not been paid. 02:20:39.480 --> 02:20:41.480 Here we are in August. 02:20:41.480 --> 02:20:48.480 So we owe WPS our district seven thousand plus dollars for an electric bill. 02:20:48.480 --> 02:20:51.480 How does that look for our school district? 02:20:51.480 --> 02:20:54.480 So I would like to make the make a motion. 02:20:54.480 --> 02:21:01.480 We can we can talk about a date a length. 02:21:01.480 --> 02:21:05.480 You know just like we did with with the resolution. 02:21:05.480 --> 02:21:16.480 The motion that the foundation comes up with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars by a certain date that we decide or the pool gets closed. 02:21:16.480 --> 02:21:18.480 I don't know. 02:21:18.480 --> 02:21:26.480 Kristen you want to I want to piggyback on what you were saying but I think that's where we are. 02:21:26.480 --> 02:21:27.480 I don't disagree. 02:21:27.480 --> 02:21:34.480 When we talked about changing the number with the resolution it was because we were going to buy the foundation time. 02:21:34.480 --> 02:21:39.480 The whole discussion was that that's not enough time for them to come up with that amount of money. 02:21:39.480 --> 02:21:46.480 So they've known what the amount of money has been now since June and so I don't think it is. 02:21:46.480 --> 02:21:49.480 Out of line to ask for that additional hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 02:21:49.480 --> 02:21:52.480 We've been asking for money since March. 02:21:52.480 --> 02:21:56.480 Not just from the foundation from the community, the county, the city. 02:21:56.480 --> 02:21:58.480 Everyone has known that we've needed this money. 02:21:59.480 --> 02:22:09.480 So I don't think it's out of line to ask for an additional hundred and fifty thousand dollars by August 24th to keep the pool open and functioning. 02:22:09.480 --> 02:22:15.480 Would you like to form that into a motion. 02:22:15.480 --> 02:22:19.480 I'd like to make a motion. 02:22:19.480 --> 02:22:29.480 To be a hundred and fifty and all that can't do that. 02:22:29.480 --> 02:22:41.480 To receive a hundred and fifty thousand dollars by August 24th twenty twenty six or cease operations of the Clara McKenna Aquatic Center. 02:22:41.480 --> 02:22:44.480 That August twenty four. 02:22:44.480 --> 02:22:51.480 I'll just twenty four. 02:22:51.480 --> 02:22:54.480 require fund eighty balance to receive. 02:22:54.480 --> 02:22:59.480 Fun eighty to receive a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 02:23:06.480 --> 02:23:07.480 Or. 02:23:08.480 --> 02:23:11.480 Or cease operations of the Clara McKenna Aquatic Center. 02:23:22.480 --> 02:23:25.480 That would fulfill the initial amount asked for. 02:23:26.480 --> 02:23:30.480 Davis, did you hear that motion? 02:23:30.480 --> 02:23:33.480 I did. 02:23:33.480 --> 02:23:37.480 Is that motion, motion sufficient to cover. 02:23:37.480 --> 02:23:40.480 Our administrative team. 02:23:40.480 --> 02:23:49.480 In terms of a direction for tonight, I believe so. Yes. 02:23:50.480 --> 02:24:03.480 Okay, so the motion on the floor is fund eighty to receive one hundred and fifty thousand dollars by August the twenty four twenty twenty six or cease operations of the Clara are McKenna Aquatic Center. 02:24:03.480 --> 02:24:06.480 Kristen, was that your motion. 02:24:06.480 --> 02:24:14.480 Would you like to speak more to your motion. 02:24:14.480 --> 02:24:24.480 Are there any questions to the motion that's on the floor remind reminding the members of the board that you must speak to the motion on the floor. 02:24:24.480 --> 02:24:33.480 And that is to receive one hundred and fifty thousand dollars by August twenty four twenty twenty six or cease operations of the Clara are McKenna Aquatic Center. 02:24:33.480 --> 02:24:35.480 Any questions or discussion. 02:24:36.480 --> 02:24:47.480 I have some discussion. I guess I don't understand why you insist on making these last minute requests that they come up with this money. 02:24:47.480 --> 02:24:50.480 Why didn't you make this request two months ago. 02:24:50.480 --> 02:25:01.480 This request was made two months ago whenever we met and you made the motion to reduce from two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars which the board then voted in the hundred thousand dollars. 02:25:01.480 --> 02:25:06.480 Which now we are at the passing point where there's a deficit where we need to pay the bills. 02:25:06.480 --> 02:25:08.480 Would you let me finish Danny. 02:25:08.480 --> 02:25:09.480 Would you let me finish. 02:25:09.480 --> 02:25:10.480 No, not yet. 02:25:10.480 --> 02:25:30.480 Apparently our admin team has gone through the numbers and two hundred and fifty thousand dollars would be sufficient to cover the bills up until the fund eighty if this board votes for fund eighty at the budget hearing meeting in October two hundred fifty thousand dollars would cover that. 02:25:30.480 --> 02:25:35.480 Now you can finish. 02:25:35.480 --> 02:25:50.480 You've known about this and you could have had discussions with the foundation over the last several months but you have not chosen to do that even though that was one of the recommendation that Mr. 02:25:50.480 --> 02:26:00.480 Rundi made back on July 20th but no one from the board or the administration has approached the foundation. 02:26:00.480 --> 02:26:06.480 Now you're asking them once again to come up with a very large amount of cash at a very short period of time. 02:26:06.480 --> 02:26:09.480 That's not very business like in my opinion. 02:26:09.480 --> 02:26:13.480 It's been my understanding that this has been a partnership with the foundation. 02:26:13.480 --> 02:26:31.480 The foundation has had a representative at minimum one representative please and the audience listen and tell me if I'm wrong on this because the way I've understood things to be is the dedication to show up to committee and board meetings since March. 02:26:31.480 --> 02:26:42.480 Religiously and listen and hear and know the deficit and the goals the same we're relying on them as much as they're relying on us right. 02:26:42.480 --> 02:26:59.480 So I guess if the board needs to clarify that we can it's as one board member my interpretation and impression is the foundation is aware in seeing a prize of the financial situation of what we're needing. 02:26:59.480 --> 02:27:04.480 We may have different ideas on numbers but nonetheless like that money comes to them. 02:27:04.480 --> 02:27:22.480 They would donate it to us we the foundation does not need us to come directly and ask do you have the money today would you be willing to donate it correct like if you. 02:27:23.480 --> 02:27:34.480 So what is the foundation need from us I guess. 02:27:34.480 --> 02:27:43.480 Let me put it this way we wouldn't be able to know when the foundation if or when the foundation. 02:27:44.480 --> 02:27:52.480 Receives X amount of dollars no different than we would be able to know about a hospital foundation having X amount of dollars being willing to give. 02:27:52.480 --> 02:28:02.480 I'm anticipating the foundation would come to us to share that they have a donation that they would like to pursue and that would start the formal process. 02:28:02.480 --> 02:28:07.480 Correct. 02:28:07.480 --> 02:28:18.480 So to say we aren't going forward I think the subcommittee would also be the vehicle for that kind of communication. 02:28:18.480 --> 02:28:24.480 So now that we have that in place I think it's going to be a little bit more clear. 02:28:24.480 --> 02:28:37.480 Can we ask Tom if tomorrow at the meet subcommittee meeting the foundation was asked for this money how long would he need to if they approve it how long would he need to get it to the school district. 02:28:37.480 --> 02:28:39.480 Is that a reasonable question for him. 02:28:39.480 --> 02:28:43.480 Well I think we'd almost need to know now I mean if this motion's on the floor. 02:28:43.480 --> 02:28:48.480 If he was asked tomorrow how long would he need if he was officially asked tomorrow at the meeting. 02:28:48.480 --> 02:28:50.480 How long would he need to provide it. 02:28:50.480 --> 02:28:54.480 The only thing with that goal is that they have to meet. 02:28:54.480 --> 02:28:56.480 I realize that we haven't been the formal class. 02:28:56.480 --> 02:28:57.480 Right. 02:28:57.480 --> 02:28:59.480 But the thing that the money will ask me. 02:28:59.480 --> 02:29:00.480 Absolutely. 02:29:00.480 --> 02:29:02.480 But there's still a process that they have to go through. 02:29:02.480 --> 02:29:05.480 I get the process but they know if they can do it or not. 02:29:05.480 --> 02:29:07.480 We know that they are aware. 02:29:07.480 --> 02:29:14.480 I just want to know time wise for the seven day window is that enough time to hit everyone that they have to hit and write a check. 02:29:14.480 --> 02:29:19.480 But I don't know what their process is. 02:29:19.480 --> 02:29:22.480 I think you can go back to your motion Kristen and speak on it. 02:29:22.480 --> 02:29:24.480 The number and Danny that this was discussed. 02:29:24.480 --> 02:29:29.480 The number was identified based on the recommendation from when. 02:29:29.480 --> 02:29:31.480 From June. 02:29:31.480 --> 02:29:33.480 So it's not a surprise amount. 02:29:33.480 --> 02:29:34.480 No. 02:29:34.480 --> 02:29:36.480 Is what I think we're saying. 02:29:36.480 --> 02:29:39.480 And I have no problem whatsoever with asking for that amount. 02:29:39.480 --> 02:29:44.480 I just don't know if I don't know the foundation well enough to know if it's a realistic time frame. 02:29:44.480 --> 02:29:46.480 Well I would like to speak. 02:29:46.480 --> 02:29:49.480 I think I agree with that. 02:29:49.480 --> 02:29:51.480 That that figure has been in place. 02:29:51.480 --> 02:29:56.480 But I also think we have to recognize our fault in the sense that that committee should have met in July. 02:29:56.480 --> 02:29:59.480 We should have met in July and we didn't. 02:30:00.480 --> 02:30:08.480 That the whole bringing up of that committee in June when I brought it up was that it was going to be an immediate solution until fund 80 was established. 02:30:08.480 --> 02:30:10.480 That did not happen until. 02:30:10.480 --> 02:30:12.480 Correct me if I'm wrong. 02:30:12.480 --> 02:30:17.480 Committee level meetings last week to now have the subcommittee meeting tomorrow. 02:30:17.480 --> 02:30:23.480 So we are just as I just I'm trying to be super fair in the sense that we also have not. 02:30:24.480 --> 02:30:29.480 If they know that dollar amount but then we haven't come through on our obligation of having this subcommittee in July. 02:30:29.480 --> 02:30:32.480 Tomorrow is literally the sentence we could have had it. 02:30:32.480 --> 02:30:33.480 No I know. 02:30:33.480 --> 02:30:38.480 It's been announced and had to have been appointed by an executive board which was tonight. 02:30:38.480 --> 02:30:52.480 Right but we talked about this in June and we all talked about how urgent it was to have this committee start meeting immediately to discuss the financial what we needed going forward on a monthly basis and it never got talked about July. 02:30:53.480 --> 02:31:00.480 It was passed to create the committee but then the committee members had to be appointed. 02:31:00.480 --> 02:31:01.480 I know. 02:31:01.480 --> 02:31:05.480 I wish things didn't take as long as they do but they do. 02:31:05.480 --> 02:31:07.480 It's a process. 02:31:07.480 --> 02:31:08.480 I know. 02:31:08.480 --> 02:31:16.480 Yeah I mean I'm just trying to be super I'm given trying to give the board credit for that okay guess those numbers were out there. 02:31:16.480 --> 02:31:20.480 But I also have to give the foundation credit that I know it's where a month behind. 02:31:21.480 --> 02:31:26.480 I move to amend the motion. 02:31:26.480 --> 02:31:30.480 Okay Jean can you state your amendment to the motion. 02:31:30.480 --> 02:31:33.480 Yeah I would make two changes. 02:31:33.480 --> 02:31:38.480 I would change the August 24 date to August 31. 02:31:38.480 --> 02:31:46.480 And I would change the last bit where it said something like cease operations of the pool. 02:31:46.480 --> 02:31:51.480 I would change that to cease operations of the community. 02:31:51.480 --> 02:31:54.480 Services part of the pool. 02:31:58.480 --> 02:32:00.480 Okay let me drop that down. 02:32:07.480 --> 02:32:10.480 Okay so I want to state your amendment correctly. 02:32:11.480 --> 02:32:25.480 Fund 80 is to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the community services portion of the pool. 02:32:25.480 --> 02:32:28.480 Is that what you want your amendment to say. 02:32:28.480 --> 02:32:29.480 Yes please. 02:32:29.480 --> 02:32:33.480 Would you like to speak to your amendment. 02:32:34.480 --> 02:32:42.480 Sure so I'm just giving one more week because I am a little concerned about that time turnaround. 02:32:42.480 --> 02:32:54.480 And I changed the closing of the entire pool to the community services part since this is a particular fund 80 challenge that we're facing. 02:32:55.480 --> 02:33:07.480 And I'm just hopeful that if it does end up turning out that way that we'd still be able to have the swim team and our kids in the students school. 02:33:07.480 --> 02:33:13.480 Okay any discussion of the amendment to the motion that's on the floor. 02:33:25.480 --> 02:33:31.480 All right I was saying that yes that would be functional because you would just turn it into a fun 10 expense. 02:33:31.480 --> 02:33:36.480 And so there would be no community portion so you wouldn't be out open during business hours. 02:33:36.480 --> 02:33:41.480 It would be there for five classes in the swim team. 02:33:41.480 --> 02:33:44.480 The school swim team. 02:33:44.480 --> 02:33:47.480 Yeah so like the high school team. 02:33:48.480 --> 02:33:52.480 So no physical therapy. 02:33:52.480 --> 02:33:53.480 Correct. 02:33:53.480 --> 02:33:55.480 Birthday parties physical therapy. 02:33:55.480 --> 02:34:03.480 All of that would have to. 02:34:03.480 --> 02:34:06.480 The budget component that would come next. 02:34:06.480 --> 02:34:09.480 That would be educational dollars. 02:34:09.480 --> 02:34:16.480 Jill I was just thinking about that in my mind if that gets converted to a fun 10 building then we have to look at. 02:34:16.480 --> 02:34:17.480 Lay offs. 02:34:17.480 --> 02:34:18.480 Correct. 02:34:18.480 --> 02:34:19.480 In the district. 02:34:19.480 --> 02:34:25.480 And when we looked at that option it was we would be laying off I think it was 10 or 11 teachers. 02:34:25.480 --> 02:34:28.480 And basically would be all of our electives. 02:34:28.480 --> 02:34:30.480 Every single elected. 02:34:30.480 --> 02:34:32.480 And that's not fair to our community. 02:34:32.480 --> 02:34:34.480 It's not fair to our families. 02:34:34.480 --> 02:34:35.480 It's not fair to our families. 02:34:35.480 --> 02:34:39.480 It's not fair to our students. 02:34:39.480 --> 02:34:40.480 Yeah. 02:34:40.480 --> 02:34:41.480 Kristen. 02:34:42.480 --> 02:34:44.480 I agree but we also have to keep it a functional building. 02:34:44.480 --> 02:34:48.480 You can't just do nothing with it and then it crumbles and then you're not. 02:34:48.480 --> 02:34:54.480 You at least have to take care of it enough to sell it or modify it into something usable. 02:34:54.480 --> 02:34:58.480 You can't just walk the door and turn off the light. 02:34:58.480 --> 02:35:06.480 I guess I have a question about why we would have to lay off and fund teachers. 02:35:06.480 --> 02:35:12.480 Randy that would have to be a discussion that does not support the amendment to the motion. 02:35:12.480 --> 02:35:16.480 That would be a discussion when we're talking budget at a later time. 02:35:16.480 --> 02:35:18.480 Does that make sense? 02:35:18.480 --> 02:35:20.480 Thank you. 02:35:20.480 --> 02:35:23.480 Keeping our questions to the amendment to the motion. 02:35:23.480 --> 02:35:25.480 Our discussion. 02:35:25.480 --> 02:35:30.480 I just can say I appreciate the amendment. 02:35:31.480 --> 02:35:40.480 I don't know where I'm voting in this yet simply because I don't think the board and district is in a position to fund a pool for fun. 02:35:40.480 --> 02:35:45.480 But it's a very creative solution. 02:35:46.480 --> 02:35:55.480 And also option and also going to Kristen's point keeps the building functionable too. 02:35:55.480 --> 02:36:00.480 So being responsible with the building component of it. 02:36:00.480 --> 02:36:04.480 I don't think we are currently in a position to fund a pool. 02:36:04.480 --> 02:36:06.480 I don't think that's been in any. 02:36:06.480 --> 02:36:11.480 Danny I'm going to look at you finance committee discussions. 02:36:12.480 --> 02:36:15.480 That has not been a discussion at the finance committee. 02:36:15.480 --> 02:36:18.480 I don't know what state we are in financially to support that. 02:36:18.480 --> 02:36:20.480 I haven't seen anything like that. 02:36:20.480 --> 02:36:22.480 Which is fair that again creative. 02:36:22.480 --> 02:36:23.480 So I respect that entirely. 02:36:23.480 --> 02:36:26.480 I did not anticipate that that has been a discussion point. 02:36:26.480 --> 02:36:28.480 I just wanted to make sure. 02:36:28.480 --> 02:36:36.480 I want to say I appreciate the. 02:36:37.480 --> 02:36:51.480 But I can't I'm going to vote no because I I can't support it going towards a fun time because I I'm for us having electives and not putting the staff like that. 02:36:51.480 --> 02:37:00.480 My daughter just graduated and we already have a very slim picking of electives and I can't imagine our students not having. 02:37:01.480 --> 02:37:10.480 I would have to be a budget discussion as the chair just said. 02:37:10.480 --> 02:37:11.480 Yeah. 02:37:11.480 --> 02:37:15.480 I'm going to vote no because of that. 02:37:15.480 --> 02:37:26.480 Any other discussion of the amendment on the floor and the amendment is to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026. 02:37:27.480 --> 02:37:32.480 Or cease operations of the community services portion of the pool. 02:37:36.480 --> 02:37:40.480 Nathan, are we ready for a vote on the amendment? 02:37:40.480 --> 02:37:41.480 Okay. 02:37:41.480 --> 02:37:45.480 Your voting advice is the vote is now open. 02:37:45.480 --> 02:38:01.480 Brandy, you want to try one more time, please? 02:38:01.480 --> 02:38:05.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 02:38:05.480 --> 02:38:12.480 And the vote is now closed. 02:38:12.480 --> 02:38:17.480 We have six in favor of the amendment and three opposed to the amendment. 02:38:17.480 --> 02:38:19.480 The amendment passes. 02:38:19.480 --> 02:38:22.480 Now the amendment becomes the main motion. 02:38:22.480 --> 02:38:38.480 The motion on the floor is to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the community services portion of the pool. 02:38:38.480 --> 02:38:43.480 Any further discussion of the motion that's on the floor? 02:38:43.480 --> 02:38:49.480 Does everybody understand the motion that you're voting for on the floor? 02:38:49.480 --> 02:39:02.480 I'm just going to be very transparent to say I'm voting against this motion simply because of the whole premise of the six months discussion and the Clara American Aquatic Center is that it is a community asset. 02:39:02.480 --> 02:39:09.480 Therefore, I'm voting against it simply because the community, that's the asset. 02:39:09.480 --> 02:39:15.480 So it would drop the community component and become 110. 02:39:15.480 --> 02:39:21.480 So I just want to make sure that I'm sharing my feedback to my reason for my vote. 02:39:21.480 --> 02:39:24.480 Danny, can you repeat what we're voting on right now? 02:39:24.480 --> 02:39:44.480 The motion that you will be voting on is fund 80 to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the community services portion of the pool. 02:39:44.480 --> 02:39:47.480 Any other discussion or questions? 02:39:47.480 --> 02:39:56.480 If this, if this by chance fails, we can make another motion regarding us and then have that same case. 02:39:56.480 --> 02:40:01.480 Or if this motion, you can make another amendment. 02:40:01.480 --> 02:40:02.480 Yes. 02:40:02.480 --> 02:40:06.480 But if this motion fails, we move to item B. 02:40:17.480 --> 02:40:37.480 Once again, you are voting for fund 80 to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the community service portions of the pool. 02:40:38.480 --> 02:40:39.480 You can. 02:40:39.480 --> 02:40:40.480 Absolutely. 02:40:40.480 --> 02:40:45.480 You can, you can amend this. 02:40:45.480 --> 02:40:46.480 Yeah. 02:40:46.480 --> 02:40:47.480 Okay. 02:40:47.480 --> 02:40:58.480 So I'll make the amendment to the motion for $150,000 to be received by August 31, 2026 or the pool. 02:40:58.480 --> 02:41:03.480 Or cease operations. 02:41:04.480 --> 02:41:05.480 Okay. 02:41:05.480 --> 02:41:23.480 So we have a second and final amendment on the floor fund 80 to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the Clara are McKenna aquatic center. Is that your amendment? 02:41:23.480 --> 02:41:24.480 Correct. 02:41:24.480 --> 02:41:26.480 Would you like to speak to your amendment? 02:41:27.480 --> 02:41:33.480 I just want to say I have confidence that the foundation is going to come through with this. 02:41:33.480 --> 02:41:36.480 It's a pretty tough thing. 02:41:36.480 --> 02:41:40.480 Was that gave the knowing that they're going to come through? 02:41:40.480 --> 02:41:44.480 Is it too ready to talk about something like that? 02:41:44.480 --> 02:41:47.480 Any other questions or discussion? 02:41:48.480 --> 02:42:00.480 If this passes then and if the money is not received, the aquatic center would be the operations are ceased entirely, not just the community portion entirely entirely entirely. 02:42:00.480 --> 02:42:08.480 Now, if this passes, we have to vote a second time on that motion because then it becomes the main motion. 02:42:08.480 --> 02:42:14.480 What you're voting on right now is the second and final amendment to this motion on the floor. 02:42:14.480 --> 02:42:32.480 And I will read it again, fund 80 to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the Clara are McKenna aquatic center. 02:42:32.480 --> 02:42:34.480 Okay, Nathan, are you ready? 02:42:35.480 --> 02:42:37.480 The voting device is now open. 02:42:46.480 --> 02:42:48.480 I'm going to try it one more time. 02:42:48.480 --> 02:42:51.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 02:42:51.480 --> 02:42:53.480 The vote is now closed. 02:42:53.480 --> 02:43:03.480 We have four in favor of the amendment and five opposed the amendment. 02:43:03.480 --> 02:43:04.480 The amendment fails. 02:43:04.480 --> 02:43:22.480 So we go back to the main motion on the floor, which is fund 80 to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the community services portion of the pool. 02:43:23.480 --> 02:43:27.480 That is now the main motion that you are voting on. 02:43:27.480 --> 02:43:29.480 Let me read that one more time. 02:43:29.480 --> 02:43:43.480 Fund 80 to receive $150,000 by August 31, 2026 or cease operations of the community services portions of the pool. 02:43:43.480 --> 02:43:45.480 Any other questions or discussion? 02:43:45.480 --> 02:43:51.480 Hearing no questions or discussion, Nathan, are you ready? 02:43:51.480 --> 02:43:53.480 The vote is now open. 02:44:04.480 --> 02:44:06.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 02:44:08.480 --> 02:44:10.480 The vote is now closed. 02:44:11.480 --> 02:44:19.480 And the motion carries with five in favor and four against. 02:44:23.480 --> 02:44:28.480 Fiona, I'll come to you afterwards and we'll make sure we have the notes correct. 02:44:28.480 --> 02:44:29.480 Okay. 02:44:29.480 --> 02:44:31.480 And you have your notes. 02:44:31.480 --> 02:44:35.480 Let it be consideration to approve the athletic trainer agreement. 02:44:35.480 --> 02:44:37.480 I will be looking for a motion. 02:44:38.480 --> 02:44:41.480 I move to approve the agreement between the Langley Hospital. 02:44:41.480 --> 02:44:46.480 St. Joseph Vanigal in the Unified School District to Vanigal for Athletic Training Services. 02:44:46.480 --> 02:44:48.480 Motion has been made by Mike. 02:44:48.480 --> 02:44:50.480 Mike, would you like to speak to your motion? 02:44:50.480 --> 02:44:51.480 No. 02:44:51.480 --> 02:44:54.480 Any discussion or questions of the motion on the floor? 02:44:54.480 --> 02:45:00.480 I just think it's remarkable that these services are provided at no cost to the district. 02:45:00.480 --> 02:45:02.480 So I'm very thankful for that. 02:45:03.480 --> 02:45:11.480 Dionne, I'll let the record reflect that Randy member stepped away from the table. 02:45:11.480 --> 02:45:15.480 Any other questions or comments of the motion on the floor? 02:45:15.480 --> 02:45:16.480 All right. 02:45:16.480 --> 02:45:19.480 Your voting advice is now open. 02:45:27.480 --> 02:45:30.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 02:45:31.480 --> 02:45:33.480 The vote is now closed. 02:45:34.480 --> 02:45:43.480 And the motion carries with seven in favor, one abstaining, and the motion carries. 02:45:44.480 --> 02:45:49.480 Let us see consideration to approve the seclusion and restraint report. 02:45:49.480 --> 02:45:51.480 I will be looking for a motion. 02:45:51.480 --> 02:45:55.480 I move to approve the seclusion and restraint report as presented for the 25-26 school year. 02:45:55.480 --> 02:45:57.480 Motion has been made by Kristin. 02:45:57.480 --> 02:45:59.480 Would you like to speak to your motion? 02:45:59.480 --> 02:46:04.480 This is an annual report we do every year and our numbers continue to move in the right 02:46:04.480 --> 02:46:05.480 direction. 02:46:05.480 --> 02:46:08.480 Any other questions or comments of the motion on the floor? 02:46:08.480 --> 02:46:10.480 I have a question. 02:46:10.480 --> 02:46:17.480 I mean, obviously, I'd like to think that the declines are because of improved behavior 02:46:17.480 --> 02:46:18.480 in the classroom. 02:46:18.480 --> 02:46:24.480 But I'm wondering if there's other possibilities like have there been changes in, you know, 02:46:24.480 --> 02:46:29.480 guidance as for when teachers or staff should be using these methods or anything like that? 02:46:29.480 --> 02:46:30.480 Sure. 02:46:30.480 --> 02:46:31.480 I think that's a fair question. 02:46:31.480 --> 02:46:36.080 One of the things that we've really focused on the last couple of years is making sure 02:46:36.080 --> 02:46:41.480 that we're implementing student study teams, which involve the families, staff. 02:46:41.480 --> 02:46:47.280 And then we check in routinely to make sure that the strategies being put in place to 02:46:47.280 --> 02:46:51.480 support the students are working or if it needs to change. 02:46:51.480 --> 02:46:53.480 Thank you. 02:46:54.480 --> 02:47:00.480 Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? 02:47:00.480 --> 02:47:01.480 Okay. 02:47:01.480 --> 02:47:07.480 Your devoting devices now open. 02:47:07.480 --> 02:47:11.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 02:47:11.480 --> 02:47:14.480 The vote is now closed. 02:47:14.480 --> 02:47:17.480 And the motion carries. 02:47:17.480 --> 02:47:21.480 The consideration to approve the 2627 academic standards. 02:47:21.480 --> 02:47:23.480 I will be looking for a motion, please. 02:47:23.480 --> 02:47:27.480 I move to approve the academic standards for the 2026-2027 school year. 02:47:27.480 --> 02:47:29.480 Motion has been made by Danny. 02:47:29.480 --> 02:47:31.480 Would you like to speak to your motion? 02:47:31.480 --> 02:47:32.480 No, thank you. 02:47:32.480 --> 02:47:36.480 Are there any questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? 02:47:36.480 --> 02:47:38.480 This was brought to committee. 02:47:38.480 --> 02:47:41.480 Given everything that we do is centered around standards. 02:47:41.480 --> 02:47:46.480 I would like to give the system an opportunity to share some highlights. 02:47:46.480 --> 02:47:54.480 I really would prefer to have a director share feedback so we can dedicate some prioritize 02:47:54.480 --> 02:47:59.480 time to the standards of the work of what we are doing with our students. 02:47:59.480 --> 02:48:07.480 While Mrs. Sestry was coming, the record reflect 902 member Randy came back to the table. 02:48:08.480 --> 02:48:13.480 So under Wisconsin law statutes on there, it's 118.30. 02:48:13.480 --> 02:48:19.480 Local school boards must annually adopt academic standards in math, science, ELA, social studies 02:48:19.480 --> 02:48:21.480 and financial literacy. 02:48:21.480 --> 02:48:25.480 Our financial literacy is roped into our social studies standards. 02:48:25.480 --> 02:48:29.480 We're looking at pulling those out now that personal finance is separate than economics. 02:48:29.480 --> 02:48:31.480 Usually you could do either or. 02:48:31.480 --> 02:48:36.480 We've elected in an a couple years ago to do personal finance instead of doing the economics route. 02:48:36.480 --> 02:48:38.480 For graduation based on that statute. 02:48:38.480 --> 02:48:43.480 So we're still working on that and we're looking to the personal finance like specific standards. 02:48:43.480 --> 02:48:46.480 We work a lot with standards, especially with our middle school and high school around 02:48:46.480 --> 02:48:47.480 solution tree. 02:48:47.480 --> 02:48:51.480 What we do is we dive deep into not only the amount of rigor or the depth of knowledge 02:48:51.480 --> 02:48:56.480 that our students need to attain assessments, but also be able to be lifelong citizens and 02:48:56.480 --> 02:48:59.480 be able to understand what's happening after they get out of high school, whether they're 02:48:59.480 --> 02:49:01.480 college bound or career ready. 02:49:01.480 --> 02:49:07.480 We break down those standards to see the depth of knowledge, but also at what progression 02:49:07.480 --> 02:49:08.480 of those standards we need. 02:49:08.480 --> 02:49:13.480 So starting from 4K that teachers really understand the progression of standards and the mastery 02:49:13.480 --> 02:49:17.480 of those standards in each grade level to make sure we know exactly what is the emphasis. 02:49:17.480 --> 02:49:21.480 Because when you look through the standards, it's pages and pages and pages. 02:49:21.480 --> 02:49:24.480 So what we really want to make sure is we know our priority standards. 02:49:24.480 --> 02:49:30.480 So when I get out of 4K even, what is an absolutely essential standard that will affect how well 02:49:30.480 --> 02:49:31.480 they're kindergarten. 02:49:31.480 --> 02:49:35.480 There's many other standards that are important and great, but we have really prioritized those 02:49:35.480 --> 02:49:39.480 essential standards and the teachers have worked really hard to make sure that they are well 02:49:39.480 --> 02:49:44.480 equipped to not only know them and unpack them themselves, but able to express that to students. 02:49:44.480 --> 02:49:47.480 We use those in our learning targets, so our students always know what they're working on 02:49:47.480 --> 02:49:48.480 in the classroom. 02:49:48.480 --> 02:49:52.480 You'll see the learning targets on the board so that it's not just adults and we know the 02:49:52.480 --> 02:49:56.480 most important is that our students know what they're learning and the why behind it. 02:49:56.480 --> 02:49:58.480 We work really hard at that in every grade. 02:49:58.480 --> 02:50:02.480 When I get out of 3rd grade, I should know my multiplication skills because when I get into 4th grade, 02:50:02.480 --> 02:50:04.480 one of my essential standards is math is fractions. 02:50:04.480 --> 02:50:07.480 And I'm going to need to use those within my fraction work. 02:50:07.480 --> 02:50:11.480 Then it's going to be really important in 5th grade through the progression of math to make sure 02:50:11.480 --> 02:50:15.480 I understand my fractions, my unit fractions, because I'm going to start getting into multiplication 02:50:15.480 --> 02:50:17.480 of fractions or using them within equations. 02:50:17.480 --> 02:50:22.480 So we really understand that progression and then we can also identify if a student has a 02:50:22.480 --> 02:50:27.480 deficit, they're missing a standard or skill gaps, we can go back and specifically 02:50:27.480 --> 02:50:32.480 focus upon that skill, intervene on that skill, and that's where some of our interventions come in 02:50:32.480 --> 02:50:35.480 so that student doesn't get left behind on that standard. 02:50:35.480 --> 02:50:38.480 So we've worked really hard in the past couple of years. 02:50:38.480 --> 02:50:39.480 It's very hard work. 02:50:39.480 --> 02:50:43.480 I mean, it looks easy and kind of sounds easy, but when you dive into it as a team and they use that in their 02:50:43.480 --> 02:50:48.480 PLTs or PLCs, those professional learning communities, to really make sure that we're online. 02:50:48.480 --> 02:50:52.480 And it also helps our community to get an equitable education because it's not just the luck of the 02:50:52.480 --> 02:50:54.480 draw of which teacher I get, right? 02:50:54.480 --> 02:50:57.480 Oh, you were lucky enough to have this so-and-so or Mr. so-and-so. 02:50:57.480 --> 02:51:02.480 Every teacher in fourth grade is hitting the same standards, making sure we're teaching to the level of 02:51:02.480 --> 02:51:05.480 rigor so that fifth grade is equitable for our students. 02:51:05.480 --> 02:51:07.480 It's not the luck of the draw of the teacher anymore. 02:51:07.480 --> 02:51:13.480 All of our teachers are teaching to that high level of standards and we can really modify and assess those 02:51:13.480 --> 02:51:18.480 standards and make sure we're providing that to our families and our community so that they know what their 02:51:18.480 --> 02:51:22.480 students are learning and what they can help with at home if they see the need to rise. 02:51:25.480 --> 02:51:28.480 Does anyone have questions for Ms. Dustry? 02:51:28.480 --> 02:51:29.480 Of course I have a question. 02:51:29.480 --> 02:51:30.480 Yes, ma'am. 02:51:30.480 --> 02:51:35.480 It looks like all of the standards you recommend are from DPI with one exception, the science. 02:51:35.480 --> 02:51:41.480 I asked Glenda this and she basically told me, but I'm just checking with the professional here at Glenda. 02:51:41.480 --> 02:51:47.480 She told me that the next generation thing was actually like a higher standard than the DPI one. 02:51:47.480 --> 02:51:52.480 Yeah, it's based on the framework for national standards around science so when you look at the DPI model, 02:51:52.480 --> 02:51:56.480 there's a lot of similarities but with the DPI model for science standards, 02:51:56.480 --> 02:52:01.480 it's a lot of knowing the information and with the NGSS standards, it's a lot of applying the information, 02:52:01.480 --> 02:52:03.480 which is at that higher level. 02:52:03.480 --> 02:52:09.480 So it's not just being able to regurgitate science facts, but I can apply it and critically think. 02:52:09.480 --> 02:52:11.480 So it's kind of doing both. 02:52:11.480 --> 02:52:15.480 And modifying, I have a handle that I'm just going to hand to Mr. Brieza. 02:52:15.480 --> 02:52:20.480 If you have some questions around the next gen science standards, this was approved by the board 02:52:20.480 --> 02:52:22.480 prior to me becoming the curriculum director. 02:52:22.480 --> 02:52:26.480 I would have done the same, honestly, so kudos to that curriculum director. 02:52:26.480 --> 02:52:30.480 But it just, it provides that strong framework for science instruction. 02:52:30.480 --> 02:52:37.480 It remains closely aligned and it provides that coherence of professional of standards. 02:52:37.480 --> 02:52:40.480 That DPI, if you look at the standards, they're very broad. 02:52:40.480 --> 02:52:43.480 They can be between six and eighth grade and then you're trying to figure out what do we teach in sixth grade? 02:52:43.480 --> 02:52:45.480 What do we teach in eighth grade? 02:52:45.480 --> 02:52:49.480 This has it more aligned so that we are matching kind of those national frameworks. 02:52:49.480 --> 02:52:58.480 For science and that it's meeting or exceeding most of the Wisconsin expectations in the major areas of science. 02:52:58.480 --> 02:53:06.480 And the only other part is that we also supplement those different science like wildlife. 02:53:06.480 --> 02:53:10.480 There's some other pieces that we put in because we know that it doesn't align. 02:53:10.480 --> 02:53:13.480 We want to make sure we're hitting all those Wisconsin standards as well. 02:53:13.480 --> 02:53:18.480 So wildlife engineering, some other ones that we actually, intentionally, we have a wildlife class at our high school. 02:53:18.480 --> 02:53:20.480 We infuse some of those pieces in. 02:53:20.480 --> 02:53:31.480 So to answer your question in the long, in a long sentence, it is the same except that it takes it to a higher level and it encompasses that critical thinking and that application, 02:53:31.480 --> 02:53:33.480 which we see on the pre-ACT, ACT. 02:53:33.480 --> 02:53:35.480 That's more on the forward assessment. 02:53:35.480 --> 02:53:44.480 It's no longer just I can regurgitate facts, but I can use my critical thinking skills and apply those facts and apply it to different world problem solving. 02:53:44.480 --> 02:53:45.480 That's excellent. 02:53:45.480 --> 02:53:46.480 Thank you. 02:53:46.480 --> 02:53:47.480 Yes, ma'am. 02:53:48.480 --> 02:53:50.480 Any other questions from Ms. Sussry? 02:53:50.480 --> 02:53:51.480 I don't have a question. 02:53:51.480 --> 02:54:05.480 I just would like to say that I really appreciate how detailed you have things and how well you can articulate them because it really showcases how amazing our students are and how great of a job you're doing as a curriculum instruction director. 02:54:05.480 --> 02:54:07.480 So I just want to let you know that. 02:54:07.480 --> 02:54:08.480 Thank you. 02:54:08.480 --> 02:54:09.480 It's definitely the team. 02:54:09.480 --> 02:54:14.480 I mean, I will say it's, you know, I can say a lot of things and then teachers could say like, oh neat and then continue on. 02:54:14.480 --> 02:54:16.480 So they are the ones that put in the hard work of the standards. 02:54:16.480 --> 02:54:22.480 I get to just be like the cheerleader on the side and be watching the success of our students and our families. 02:54:22.480 --> 02:54:29.480 So I get to be that cheerleader who helps and like throws in certain things here and there, but the work goes to our teachers who do the hard work with the standards. 02:54:29.480 --> 02:54:32.480 They're in a memory day and they're putting their learning targets up. 02:54:32.480 --> 02:54:36.480 So without them, I mean, I would just be talking a lot. 02:54:37.480 --> 02:54:45.480 We do utilize solution tree for this standard work as well, which is something to point out because it's a large purchase. 02:54:45.480 --> 02:54:49.480 There are a lot of restrictions of what that money can be used for. 02:54:49.480 --> 02:54:51.480 So it's being used intentionally and showing. 02:54:51.480 --> 02:54:53.480 Oh, yeah. 02:54:53.480 --> 02:54:58.480 And solution tree is coming both to the middle school and high school during our PD days. 02:54:58.480 --> 02:55:00.480 So we start out the year with that. 02:55:01.480 --> 02:55:08.480 And our PLTs and PLCs are already in the process of being scheduled for PD days and aligning what standard work we're doing. 02:55:08.480 --> 02:55:13.480 From all content areas, I just had a conversation with our fabulous Phi Ed teacher from the middle school. 02:55:13.480 --> 02:55:20.480 And he's like, okay, so these standards we're going to be working on and how do we get that our 4K through 12th grade, making sure our Phi Ed standards align. 02:55:20.480 --> 02:55:24.480 So it's not just like core classes, it's every content area in the district. 02:55:24.480 --> 02:55:30.480 Do you have the questions or discussion? 02:55:30.480 --> 02:55:32.480 Thank you, Ms. Let's read it. 02:55:32.480 --> 02:55:33.480 Okay. 02:55:33.480 --> 02:55:38.480 Your voting device is open. 02:55:38.480 --> 02:55:55.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 02:55:55.480 --> 02:55:58.480 The vote is now closed. 02:55:58.480 --> 02:56:02.480 And the motion carries. 02:56:02.480 --> 02:56:08.480 Okay, letter E is discussion and possible action on the future of north and west elementary. 02:56:08.480 --> 02:56:11.480 I will be looking for a motion. 02:56:11.480 --> 02:56:13.480 I move. 02:56:13.480 --> 02:56:21.480 I move to approve the discussion of possible action. 02:56:21.480 --> 02:56:23.480 Okay, you have a motion in front of you. 02:56:23.480 --> 02:56:26.480 Angie, would you like to speak to your motion? 02:56:27.480 --> 02:56:35.480 At the committee level, we talked about the defer to Jean further on this, but we discussed. 02:56:35.480 --> 02:56:41.480 We have potential parties interested in purchasing at least one of the buildings already. 02:56:41.480 --> 02:56:47.480 However, we're going to probably be looking at selling. 02:56:47.480 --> 02:56:55.480 For sure, selling north first and potentially selling west as well. 02:56:55.480 --> 02:57:03.480 But not right away because of the school district and stuff like that. 02:57:03.480 --> 02:57:06.480 Just so the community knows, we'll be selling them. 02:57:06.480 --> 02:57:13.480 Not looking to sell them for a dollar, I would hope that the board is not going to be doing anything like that. 02:57:14.480 --> 02:57:25.480 So the committee is recommending that the district considers selling the sale of north elementary. 02:57:25.480 --> 02:57:28.480 Yeah, fair market value. 02:57:28.480 --> 02:57:34.480 And west would linger right now with the potential. 02:57:35.480 --> 02:57:37.480 Yeah. 02:57:37.480 --> 02:57:44.480 Due to the need for the stadium facilities or the field. 02:57:44.480 --> 02:57:46.480 I don't know that there's much for stadium. 02:57:46.480 --> 02:57:47.480 Yes. 02:57:47.480 --> 02:57:48.480 And there was a field. 02:57:48.480 --> 02:58:00.480 There was discussion that was had regarding that we would not want to just look at local fires as well to also put this out further. 02:58:01.480 --> 02:58:02.480 Question. 02:58:02.480 --> 02:58:03.480 What about east? 02:58:03.480 --> 02:58:04.480 East Elementary. 02:58:04.480 --> 02:58:12.480 Oh, is that when I'm taking care of? 02:58:12.480 --> 02:58:13.480 Oh, yes, sir. 02:58:13.480 --> 02:58:16.480 Well, you answered my question. 02:58:16.480 --> 02:58:17.480 Kristin. 02:58:17.480 --> 02:58:19.480 I would like to entertain a substitute motion. 02:58:19.480 --> 02:58:22.480 I believe is what I'd like to do. 02:58:22.480 --> 02:58:27.480 Yeah, I'd like to hear that substitute motion because the motion that's in front of us is a little bit vague. 02:58:27.480 --> 02:58:32.480 I would like to defer this discussion to the board retreat. 02:58:32.480 --> 02:58:33.480 Nothing. 02:58:33.480 --> 02:58:35.480 Speak to my motion. 02:58:35.480 --> 02:58:37.480 Is that a good enough motion? 02:58:37.480 --> 02:58:40.480 Yes, the motion is to actually. 02:58:40.480 --> 02:58:46.480 The replacement motion. 02:58:46.480 --> 02:58:53.480 Yeah. 02:58:53.480 --> 02:58:56.480 You're actually wanting to refer this to the. 02:58:56.480 --> 02:59:08.480 To the board retreat, which is to commit or to refer is a substitutionary motion to commit or to refer is debatable. 02:59:08.480 --> 02:59:11.480 And all it requires is a majority vote. 02:59:11.480 --> 02:59:18.480 So the commit to refer this to the. 02:59:18.480 --> 02:59:23.480 Annual board retreat is on the table so we can wrap all of our discussions around that. 02:59:23.480 --> 02:59:29.480 And Kristin, I will let you start the discussion of referring this to the annual board retreat. 02:59:29.480 --> 02:59:33.480 So reason being is we need a facility plan. 02:59:33.480 --> 02:59:36.480 We keep coming with these little pieces like let's talk about East. 02:59:36.480 --> 02:59:37.480 Let's talk about North. 02:59:37.480 --> 02:59:38.480 Let's talk about West. 02:59:38.480 --> 02:59:47.480 Why don't we instead talk about what the future of our district looks like with all of our facilities and pieces of land that we have throughout. 02:59:47.480 --> 02:59:52.480 So we can better guide not just this administration, but future administration as well. 02:59:52.480 --> 02:59:55.480 So when they walk in the door, they know where we're headed. 02:59:55.480 --> 03:00:01.480 I think it's a bigger piece than just this small discussion of North and West. 03:00:01.480 --> 03:00:02.480 Okay. 03:00:02.480 --> 03:00:10.480 All of our discussion questions will be wrapped around the referring this item to the board retreat. 03:00:10.480 --> 03:00:13.480 Any questions or discussion? 03:00:14.480 --> 03:00:16.480 I support what Kristin just said. 03:00:16.480 --> 03:00:25.480 I happen to be looking on the GIS property, whatever map because I wanted to see what school field stadium looked like and what West looked like. 03:00:25.480 --> 03:00:37.480 And I did a global search for the school district and was shocked to see all these little little parcels here and they're scattered about that I was completely unaware of. 03:00:37.480 --> 03:00:41.480 Yeah. 03:00:41.480 --> 03:00:42.480 I'd like to look. 03:00:42.480 --> 03:00:48.480 I'd like to be shocked whenever I learned of all the different parcels several years ago. 03:00:48.480 --> 03:00:54.480 Any other questions or discussion of the referring this to the board retreat? 03:00:54.480 --> 03:00:58.480 One thought to consider it's not a discussion. 03:00:58.480 --> 03:01:06.480 I'm in support of the motion is to also think about with bus elementary that we do have the stands that are there. 03:01:06.480 --> 03:01:14.480 So I just feel like that's something that I somewhat lumped together with school field stadium but could potentially be. 03:01:14.480 --> 03:01:20.480 Something further relative to you at the building on that property field and then. 03:01:20.480 --> 03:01:22.480 The unsafe old stadium. 03:01:22.480 --> 03:01:23.480 So that is all. 03:01:23.480 --> 03:01:27.480 It's not for discussion tonight, but it's something to keep in mind of. 03:01:27.480 --> 03:01:31.480 How the district also wants to handle that. 03:01:31.480 --> 03:01:33.480 Absolutely. 03:01:34.480 --> 03:01:39.480 The other discussion of the referring this to. 03:01:39.480 --> 03:01:40.480 The board retreat. 03:01:40.480 --> 03:01:44.480 Hearing no discussion your. 03:01:44.480 --> 03:01:47.480 The voting devices now open. 03:01:47.480 --> 03:01:59.480 If you're in favor of referring this to the board retreat. 03:01:59.480 --> 03:02:02.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 03:02:03.480 --> 03:02:05.480 The voters now closed. 03:02:05.480 --> 03:02:12.480 And the motion carries this is now been referred to the board retreat that will be coming up. 03:02:12.480 --> 03:02:22.480 Item number F letter F consideration to approve the resolution for adopting the 2026 Langley County all hazards mitigation plan. 03:02:22.480 --> 03:02:27.480 I will be looking for a motion please. 03:02:27.480 --> 03:02:35.480 Motion has been made by Jill. 03:02:35.480 --> 03:02:38.480 Would you like to speak to your motion? 03:02:38.480 --> 03:02:43.480 No, thank you. 03:02:43.480 --> 03:02:48.480 Any questions or discussion of the motion that's before you. 03:02:48.480 --> 03:02:52.480 I have a question that I'm hoping Jake can answer. 03:02:52.480 --> 03:02:54.480 I'm just kind of curious. 03:02:54.480 --> 03:02:59.480 What if any progress has been made or is planned for actions. 03:02:59.480 --> 03:03:05.480 Three, six and eight, which had to do with communication protocols. 03:03:05.480 --> 03:03:09.480 Use of buildings for sheltering. 03:03:09.480 --> 03:03:13.480 And generators for shelters. 03:03:13.480 --> 03:03:18.480 Yeah, so the communications one really is more of a. 03:03:18.480 --> 03:03:23.480 We've kind of been ahead of that curve really in trying to unify. 03:03:23.480 --> 03:03:26.480 Not only the county, but. 03:03:26.480 --> 03:03:30.480 Kind of our district, which extends to multiple counties as well. 03:03:30.480 --> 03:03:39.480 Things such as we did a safety grant years ago that provided us the funding to get an updated two way radio system. 03:03:39.480 --> 03:03:42.480 That helps with our. 03:03:42.480 --> 03:03:45.480 Communication within the building. 03:03:45.480 --> 03:03:49.480 It also allows us to have like an emergency channel that we could. 03:03:49.480 --> 03:03:55.480 Talk over all radios and all buildings in the different options that go with that. 03:03:55.480 --> 03:03:59.480 Additionally, it provided a booster, if you will. 03:03:59.480 --> 03:04:02.480 For law enforcement. 03:04:02.480 --> 03:04:06.480 Radio communication because our buildings are very dense. 03:04:06.480 --> 03:04:09.480 When they come into our buildings, they often. 03:04:09.480 --> 03:04:12.480 Would find dead spots where they just couldn't talk. 03:04:12.480 --> 03:04:15.480 Obviously an emergency situation. 03:04:15.480 --> 03:04:21.480 Having first responders not be able to be guided by the latest information is a huge concern. 03:04:21.480 --> 03:04:25.480 So we also made it. 03:04:25.480 --> 03:04:35.480 It's a district wide booster system, if you will, that that improves their communication as well. 03:04:35.480 --> 03:04:45.480 And then even things other than like infrastructure communication, just like the protocol and the trainings that we've done and the responses that we've done. 03:04:45.480 --> 03:04:50.480 For example, like around Alice and the communication from that end. 03:04:50.480 --> 03:04:53.480 We've really been ahead of that curve, but obviously. 03:04:53.480 --> 03:04:55.480 It's always one thing that. 03:04:55.480 --> 03:04:57.480 You know, you think that you. 03:04:57.480 --> 03:04:59.480 There's always room for improvement. 03:04:59.480 --> 03:05:06.480 And just trying to stay ahead of the technology, the latest trends and threats, whether it's. 03:05:06.480 --> 03:05:10.480 You know, we get a lot of what they call fishing or cyber. 03:05:10.480 --> 03:05:14.480 Cyber threats or things of that nature trying to sort through that. 03:05:14.480 --> 03:05:17.480 The DOJ has been. 03:05:17.480 --> 03:05:23.480 Very helpful in being proactive and providing things for that front as well that help us. 03:05:23.480 --> 03:05:29.480 Quickly trace track down and either prove them to be false or prove them to be. 03:05:29.480 --> 03:05:37.480 Accurate threats that we can handle appropriately on things that nature so it's always ever changing. 03:05:37.480 --> 03:05:47.480 So I think you'll see that kind of remark and all plans of this nature that we always want to try and keep up with the times if you will. 03:05:47.480 --> 03:05:52.480 Secondly, I think you're one of those about the community shelters. 03:05:52.480 --> 03:06:02.480 So the integral high school really has been the main spot for any emergency response when you look at like Red Cross. 03:06:02.480 --> 03:06:10.480 We've had them since my time here, I think two or three times set up in our high school. 03:06:10.480 --> 03:06:15.480 And provide some sort of a service to the community, whether it was. 03:06:15.480 --> 03:06:21.480 You know, during the winter and you have a warming shelter or during the summer and you needed a cooling shelter. 03:06:21.480 --> 03:06:30.480 When storms come through, people, you know, didn't have power, didn't have water, didn't have, you know, things like that just to take a simple shower. 03:06:30.480 --> 03:06:40.480 We work with emergency response through Langley County emergency management and Red Cross's obviously in communication with them and they get brought in when it reaches a certain level. 03:06:40.480 --> 03:06:48.480 But then we open up our high school and we offer services for things like that. 03:06:48.480 --> 03:06:55.480 One of the biggest things that's kind of ties into the next step is that we do have a full-size generator that runs the entire high school property. 03:06:55.480 --> 03:07:04.480 That's something that was acquired years ago when the hospital did a remodel. 03:07:04.480 --> 03:07:06.480 We were able to get that generator originally. 03:07:06.480 --> 03:07:07.480 It wasn't designed that way. 03:07:07.480 --> 03:07:10.480 So that allowed us to run the entire building. 03:07:10.480 --> 03:07:18.480 So our food service, every bit of that building can operate fully on generator. 03:07:18.480 --> 03:07:24.480 That's a unique and a big asset to this community. 03:07:24.480 --> 03:07:39.480 Furthermore, when you look at the renovations that were, I'll start with John H. Bradley, the design that we did with that, we put in an alternate bid to provide a standard backup generator that you'll see at most schools that just kind of provide 03:07:39.480 --> 03:07:41.480 the bare necessities. 03:07:41.480 --> 03:07:46.480 I know that world very well being an electrician. 03:07:46.480 --> 03:07:55.480 We structured the whole package for that system, that whole switch gear system for an ad alternate to flip over the whole building. 03:07:55.480 --> 03:08:07.480 And it came in a little bit higher, but I think it was like 20 or $25,000 difference to be able to run that entire facility versus just a few backup power sources for technology. 03:08:07.480 --> 03:08:15.480 It was a very basic system, much like our middle school has right now. 03:08:15.480 --> 03:08:24.480 The capabilities of the generator here are very, very basic, similar to what I was describing with the base bid for John H. Bradley. 03:08:24.480 --> 03:08:35.480 And again, when we did that design work, we put that ad alternate in there to bring a generator on that would support the entire building. 03:08:35.480 --> 03:08:45.480 It's very important, you know, a lot of our families rely on us to be able to keep kids here, especially when there is a hazard out there. 03:08:45.480 --> 03:08:54.480 So that's a piece of mind that our families know that when they send their kids here, we have all the resources necessary to keep them safe. 03:08:55.480 --> 03:09:03.480 Even if their home experiences a disaster or it's unsafe to go there, we can provide that to all of our kids. 03:09:03.480 --> 03:09:07.480 And we can just keep them here, keep them safe until those hazards are resolved. 03:09:07.480 --> 03:09:10.480 So being able to provide that, I think, is a huge thing. 03:09:10.480 --> 03:09:21.480 And again, I think we're a little bit ahead of the curve, but if you kind of read through the 470 pages, which I appreciate you taking the time to do and have some questions on. 03:09:21.480 --> 03:09:27.480 It really covers a big broad spectrum of every facet of the county. 03:09:27.480 --> 03:09:46.480 And I think that at least I know I'm very proud that I can say that from resource side, we are kind of ahead of the curve for most associations or districts or other counties and providing those through our school district. 03:09:46.480 --> 03:09:48.480 I think we're very fortunate to have those resources. 03:09:48.480 --> 03:09:52.480 Excellent. Thank you. 03:09:52.480 --> 03:10:01.480 Any other questions of the motion that's on the floor to adopt the Langley County All Hazard Mitigation Plan? 03:10:01.480 --> 03:10:15.480 Hearing no questions, the voting device is now open. 03:10:15.480 --> 03:10:19.480 Would anyone like to change their vote? 03:10:19.480 --> 03:10:21.480 The vote is now closed. 03:10:21.480 --> 03:10:29.480 Motion carries with eight members voting in favor and one abstaining. 03:10:29.480 --> 03:10:30.480 Letter? 03:10:30.480 --> 03:10:32.480 I move to adjourn. 03:10:32.480 --> 03:10:34.480 Just kidding. 03:10:35.480 --> 03:10:40.480 Letter G, discussion and possible action on the addition. 03:10:40.480 --> 03:10:51.480 Yes, discussion and possible action on the addition of football facility to the capital improvement plan. I will be looking for in motion, please. 03:10:51.480 --> 03:10:58.480 I move to approve the addition of the football facility to the capital improvement plan effective August of 2026. 03:10:58.480 --> 03:11:01.480 Motion has been made by Kristin. Would you like to speak to your motion? 03:11:01.480 --> 03:11:11.480 Yes, so the biggest thing is the current status of Scofield Stadium and the fact that we are hosting games soon. 03:11:11.480 --> 03:11:30.480 And if something were to go wrong or some unexpected costs, so more of the lights don't work or whatnot, this gives us the opportunity to cover that cost without delaying games or rescheduling or canceling or having our team have a season of no home 03:11:30.480 --> 03:11:39.480 games at all. So it gives our administrative team a little bit more wiggle room in case something were to go on this. 03:11:39.480 --> 03:11:43.480 Any discussion or questions of the motion is on the floor. 03:11:43.480 --> 03:11:48.480 Is this a bigger dollar amount? 03:11:48.480 --> 03:11:57.480 So anything, this is just allowing them to use fund 46. If anything over a specific dollar amount still has to come to the board for approval, no matter. 03:11:57.480 --> 03:12:01.480 And nothing can be touched through fund 46. 03:12:01.480 --> 03:12:03.480 Correct. 03:12:03.480 --> 03:12:09.480 And what's the cut off? Do you know, do you remember Kristin? You said over a specific. 03:12:09.480 --> 03:12:14.480 I know that's right. 03:12:14.480 --> 03:12:15.480 It varies. 03:12:15.480 --> 03:12:24.480 It varies. Most often it's 10,000, anything above 10,000. 03:12:24.480 --> 03:12:32.480 So the way that this reads, this is not strictly the new. 03:12:32.480 --> 03:12:37.480 This is also if something needs to be taken care of at Schofield to get us through in the interim. 03:12:37.480 --> 03:12:39.480 Correct. Absolutely. 03:12:39.480 --> 03:12:41.480 Thank you. 03:12:41.480 --> 03:12:52.480 And I have a question about the plan itself. I have a couple questions about the plan one. If something goes into the plan, what exactly does that mean? 03:12:52.480 --> 03:12:56.480 Are we committed to something? 03:12:56.480 --> 03:12:57.480 Yeah. 03:12:57.480 --> 03:13:00.480 All of this is just an improvement plan. 03:13:00.480 --> 03:13:11.480 So no, it just means that if it's on the capital improvement plan, we are able to use fund 46 dollars to make those repairs. 03:13:11.480 --> 03:13:21.480 But if it is not listed, no money can be used for that. And so particular to Schofield stadium, we can't use referendum dollars to do any of that. 03:13:21.480 --> 03:13:28.480 So when we get through all of our referendum projects, we will once again update the capital improvement plan. 03:13:28.480 --> 03:13:35.480 If it's not on there, we would have to use fund $10 at the Schofield stadium or any of the football facilities, not budgeted for and fund 10. 03:13:35.480 --> 03:13:38.480 So they have to pull that money from somewhere else. 03:13:38.480 --> 03:13:45.480 So how is it if we still have to approve it because it's going to, whatever it is, is likely going to be more than 10,000. 03:13:45.480 --> 03:13:50.480 How does this, how does doing this step here help? 03:13:50.480 --> 03:13:53.480 It's not required by DPI for any fund 46 expenses. 03:13:53.480 --> 03:13:56.480 It has to be in your capital improvement plan. 03:13:56.480 --> 03:14:02.480 So this was, I'll go back a little bit, ties directly to the referendum work. 03:14:02.480 --> 03:14:08.480 So we talked about the capital, I laugh, I can't say it was straight base. 03:14:08.480 --> 03:14:14.480 We had a capital improvement plan that we would add to and we would talk about that we had $0 to address. 03:14:14.480 --> 03:14:17.480 So we could have had endless amounts of money. 03:14:17.480 --> 03:14:22.480 And the only things we could use endless amounts of money for would be whatever is approved in your strategic plan. 03:14:22.480 --> 03:14:23.480 You have no money? 03:14:23.480 --> 03:14:24.480 Okay. 03:14:24.480 --> 03:14:29.480 Your strategic plan sits unmet, but that's, should you come upon funding? 03:14:29.480 --> 03:14:30.480 That's what you could use it for. 03:14:30.480 --> 03:14:31.480 You need to have it approved. 03:14:31.480 --> 03:14:35.480 That's the only thing that can be allowed through DPI states. 03:14:35.480 --> 03:14:41.480 You have to have an approved, board approved strategic plan in fund 46 to use or stare at the list. 03:14:41.480 --> 03:14:46.480 So in other words, Gina has to be, so we're approving the general concept of it. 03:14:46.480 --> 03:14:52.480 And then the specific items that is needed will come to us for approval later. 03:14:52.480 --> 03:14:53.480 Does that make sense? 03:14:53.480 --> 03:14:56.480 So like it's more like a big picture right now. 03:14:56.480 --> 03:15:02.480 It kind of makes sense, but I'm still like, you know, we could do both motions in the same day, right? 03:15:02.480 --> 03:15:08.480 Like if we didn't pass this or do this today and a month from now, we say we want to do it. 03:15:08.480 --> 03:15:10.480 We could go, okay, we'll put it on the plan. 03:15:10.480 --> 03:15:11.480 Okay. 03:15:11.480 --> 03:15:13.480 So approved 20 million or whatever. 03:15:13.480 --> 03:15:17.480 So a perfect example would be the scoreboard that needs to be repaired. 03:15:17.480 --> 03:15:20.480 That's $5,000. 03:15:20.480 --> 03:15:24.480 And we can't use fund 46 because it's not on the capital plan. 03:15:24.480 --> 03:15:25.480 Okay. 03:15:25.480 --> 03:15:27.480 So it gives you leeway for those. 03:15:27.480 --> 03:15:28.480 Yes. 03:15:28.480 --> 03:15:29.480 Smaller. 03:15:29.480 --> 03:15:37.480 Well, and it could be larger as well, but we can't use it if it's not on, on our plan. 03:15:38.480 --> 03:15:39.480 Okay. 03:15:39.480 --> 03:15:40.480 Another question about the plan. 03:15:40.480 --> 03:15:46.480 To me, a plan has dates or anticipated years or something in it. 03:15:46.480 --> 03:15:56.480 I was surprised at this plan, not saying, not marching that out in some way, even if it's just tentative or hypothetical. 03:15:56.480 --> 03:15:59.480 This is just a wish list or whatever. 03:15:59.480 --> 03:16:03.480 That's because in the past, we've never had money. 03:16:04.480 --> 03:16:09.480 So when we do our budget hearing, Kelly does a really good job. 03:16:09.480 --> 03:16:14.480 Each budget goes through what you can use your dollars on. 03:16:14.480 --> 03:16:17.480 And all of that is dictated by DPI. 03:16:17.480 --> 03:16:18.480 So no difference in fund 82. 03:16:18.480 --> 03:16:20.480 Like they dictate how we use it. 03:16:20.480 --> 03:16:21.480 Right. 03:16:21.480 --> 03:16:24.480 So this is the, you make it make sense questions. 03:16:24.480 --> 03:16:28.480 Aren't going to get an answer to this because DPI says you have to have these ends lifted. 03:16:28.480 --> 03:16:30.480 And they don't care about a year. 03:16:30.480 --> 03:16:31.480 No. 03:16:31.480 --> 03:16:32.480 No. 03:16:33.480 --> 03:16:34.480 They don't care. 03:16:34.480 --> 03:16:39.480 But if you want to touch on, they have to be otherwise. 03:16:39.480 --> 03:16:40.480 Okay. 03:16:40.480 --> 03:16:44.480 It's like your Amazon wish list. 03:16:44.480 --> 03:16:45.480 Yeah. 03:16:45.480 --> 03:16:46.480 Yeah. 03:16:46.480 --> 03:16:47.480 Yeah. 03:16:47.480 --> 03:16:48.480 Oh. 03:16:48.480 --> 03:16:50.480 Yeah. 03:16:50.480 --> 03:16:52.480 So this is our shopping cart. 03:16:52.480 --> 03:17:01.480 And I, I do want to say thanks to a former board member Dr. Barto, because he's the one who introduced our district. 03:17:01.480 --> 03:17:08.880 to fund 46 and we did our due diligence in starting fund 46 and waited the 03:17:08.880 --> 03:17:13.180 length of time that we needed to wait in order to pull funds from 46 and now 03:17:13.180 --> 03:17:17.980 we're outside of that so we can pull from fund 46 at any point now there's 03:17:17.980 --> 03:17:23.980 no there's no time to wait for the future so yeah kudos again to dr. 03:17:23.980 --> 03:17:27.280 Marto for introducing that to our district in order for us to have this 03:17:27.280 --> 03:17:34.840 most immediate needs to be met do you have a questions yes Melissa understand 03:17:34.840 --> 03:17:41.680 I get that this is our wish list so to speak what but what stuff I mean is there 03:17:41.680 --> 03:17:47.080 like a timeframe like okay things have to be on so what stops like Jean said 03:17:47.080 --> 03:17:52.080 from last time us knowing next month that the scoreboard has to so we put it 03:17:52.080 --> 03:17:58.080 on at that one I mean you know what I mean I just it's an additional timing 03:17:58.080 --> 03:18:02.580 thing for us that we have to wait before we can make those repairs that's the 03:18:02.580 --> 03:18:07.280 so yeah think yep having it on here means that we have the ability to do 03:18:07.280 --> 03:18:15.080 that whenever we need to because we put that way to yep period okay thank you 03:18:15.480 --> 03:18:21.480 also allows us to include it in our facilities discussion as a whole for a 03:18:21.480 --> 03:18:25.980 board retreat so these very kind gentlemen that are working very hard for 03:18:25.980 --> 03:18:29.880 the grid iron club and sat here for the last three and a half hours can be 03:18:29.880 --> 03:18:35.080 assured that also should this be voted in favor of it can be a discussion points 03:18:35.080 --> 03:18:41.080 as a facilities just discussion for a strategic plan district wide which is 03:18:41.080 --> 03:18:45.240 ultimately one of the things I think that you guys are wanting is is a 03:18:45.240 --> 03:18:49.320 commitment from the district that that we're not going to ignore the facility 03:18:49.320 --> 03:18:56.480 need I would like to also add that I know there's been some confusion 03:18:56.480 --> 03:19:03.200 confusion around the fund 46 deposit calling it surplus money it's not surplus 03:19:03.200 --> 03:19:08.800 money it's budgeted to be able to have a deposit because it was a goal of the 03:19:08.800 --> 03:19:14.320 board to make sure that we were able to make fund 46 deposits for these very 03:19:14.320 --> 03:19:19.000 things at the end of the year so that's why we have we're fortunate to have the 03:19:19.000 --> 03:19:23.280 dollars that we have in our fund 46 account 03:19:27.200 --> 03:19:31.760 everything was on fire and he was like trying to put out whatever was the 03:19:31.760 --> 03:19:37.160 biggest fire out was like really similar in light it was like clean miracles out 03:19:37.160 --> 03:19:47.400 of nothing and now now he has a budget to work what he is able to do which is 03:19:47.400 --> 03:19:51.800 amazing which I don't know how he did it before but now we get the budget now 03:19:51.800 --> 03:19:56.360 when people say how do we know that the new elementary isn't going to fund it 03:19:56.360 --> 03:20:07.120 the same district this is how we will maintain our property 03:20:07.120 --> 03:20:12.600 this is how we will maintain our sports fields this is how we will maintain 03:20:12.600 --> 03:20:18.920 an appeal we didn't have that before we have that now thanks to this administrative 03:20:18.920 --> 03:20:27.120 team and getting the funds where they need to be in and they have to say that 03:20:27.120 --> 03:20:33.120 shout out to our community. Mike I know you've been trying to jump in here go 03:20:33.120 --> 03:20:36.400 here I just want to say thanks to all you guys that have been working on this 03:20:36.400 --> 03:20:41.560 presentation for that sports complex I'm it takes a great deal of work to do 03:20:41.560 --> 03:20:48.880 that I'm a little concerned I'm a little hesitant moving forward because there's 03:20:48.880 --> 03:20:56.440 a lot of needs that our district has and I'm not sure that in good faith I can 03:20:56.440 --> 03:21:02.360 right now move forward as we heard people talking tonight I heard the word 03:21:02.360 --> 03:21:09.440 pause pause take a step back and figure out what we need to do so we can be 03:21:09.440 --> 03:21:14.960 successful in all avenues what everybody needs in the district and I'm just 03:21:14.960 --> 03:21:22.920 trying to wrap my head around this I understand the capital plan and it's 03:21:23.080 --> 03:21:29.440 needed to guide us but I'm not sure it's this motion seems vague because we're 03:21:29.440 --> 03:21:35.560 talking about Schofield Stadium and this is football facility I guess I'm I'm 03:21:35.560 --> 03:21:38.120 not sure 03:21:38.960 --> 03:21:48.080 do I would like to circle back to the ability to ask some questions because we 03:21:48.080 --> 03:21:50.880 did have a really great presentation earlier and I know you guys have worked 03:21:50.880 --> 03:21:58.240 really hard for 14 months I want to give you that opportunity so one question 03:21:58.240 --> 03:22:05.080 I don't want to forget to ask is about the track so if a representative could 03:22:05.080 --> 03:22:10.920 respond to the track in terms of the design it came up in committee so it 03:22:10.920 --> 03:22:20.160 I think that's a really good question that was asked and I would like some 03:22:20.160 --> 03:22:24.080 feedback from somebody who'd like to answer that for me and then number two I 03:22:24.080 --> 03:22:29.080 know in committee also in terms of the fundraising efforts for this sports 03:22:29.080 --> 03:22:38.240 complex a big component of that in a I think a point of pride for them is that 03:22:38.240 --> 03:22:42.720 you're also part of that amount that you need or wanting would go towards 03:22:42.720 --> 03:22:49.800 capital improvement so long-term planning for that facility need so just 03:22:49.800 --> 03:22:53.200 but I guess if there's any additional things anybody would like to share on 03:22:53.200 --> 03:22:58.800 that great answer about the track I'm trying to figure out who should ask 03:22:58.800 --> 03:23:12.280 directly raise Jerry if you want to come up or Matt Tom sorry yeah so I know 03:23:12.280 --> 03:23:18.000 there's the the question of we're placing it and everything went on when 03:23:18.000 --> 03:23:23.040 we were going into the committees and looking at it one of the big things that 03:23:23.040 --> 03:23:27.760 we looked at obviously was the history of everything we have here ready at 03:23:27.760 --> 03:23:32.600 school field off-campus in that football facility and if we moved it here what 03:23:32.600 --> 03:23:38.520 would it look like with naming rights we always talked about that too we have 03:23:38.520 --> 03:23:44.440 list of field here we knew that we moved it over here well number one we 03:23:44.440 --> 03:23:48.440 obviously we had some people reach out with the committee talking about you 03:23:48.440 --> 03:23:52.160 know cuz they're like well they gonna go over list of field we'll be named 03:23:52.160 --> 03:23:57.920 Skokob stadium there what's the name and it's like the naming rights issue or the 03:23:57.920 --> 03:24:03.040 talk of that the biggest thing is the facility for the kids and one of the big 03:24:03.040 --> 03:24:08.880 things that drove us as a committee and talking through having it over on the 03:24:08.880 --> 03:24:17.120 other side was to number one be able to have two nice competition fields so if 03:24:17.120 --> 03:24:24.120 you have list of field there be able to host all football games lower level 03:24:24.120 --> 03:24:29.720 football games lower level soccer games and be able to use the new facility for 03:24:29.720 --> 03:24:35.160 all the varsity and JV events you can have much better side-by-side events if 03:24:35.160 --> 03:24:41.120 you look at all of the metford Meryl Rylander Lakeland all of them run into 03:24:41.120 --> 03:24:45.280 scheduling issues because they have lower levels that need to be playing at the 03:24:45.280 --> 03:24:48.480 same time and then they have to kick them off and they don't know where to put 03:24:48.480 --> 03:24:53.000 them even you know we don't have a dome to throw them into but this would be 03:24:53.000 --> 03:24:59.240 another nice facility to still play the games on the thought process for 03:24:59.240 --> 03:25:03.920 bleacher wise for seating as you heard in the presentation the grid iron 03:25:03.920 --> 03:25:11.720 produced to two bleachers those nice metal bleachers for the visitors this is 03:25:11.720 --> 03:25:16.440 back when you know we had somebody fall through the old visiting bleachers and 03:25:16.440 --> 03:25:21.280 had to replace them because of all the wood bleachers we had just went to they 03:25:21.280 --> 03:25:26.800 were done so they fundraised a bunch of money almost forty thousand dollars 03:25:26.880 --> 03:25:32.760 worth of bleachers and put them over there for our visiting fans or spectators so 03:25:32.760 --> 03:25:38.960 the thought process was that they would move those over to listal field which as 03:25:38.960 --> 03:25:43.280 we all know right now have just small little wooden bleachers that were just 03:25:43.280 --> 03:25:48.960 set over there so they would have two sets of nice bleachers put there for you 03:25:48.960 --> 03:25:53.240 know our Dale Peterson track and field meet our two middle school meets that we 03:25:53.240 --> 03:25:59.360 host and then when we come around to obviously when we hosted GNC conference 03:25:59.360 --> 03:26:05.360 meet there and I know another thought process that some people thought you 03:26:05.360 --> 03:26:11.080 know of having you know it on the other side was they also wanted to kind of 03:26:11.080 --> 03:26:19.360 keep the stadium bleachers closer to the action so as you can tell in the in the 03:26:19.440 --> 03:26:25.680 layout there's a little bump out between the sideline and the bleachers but it's 03:26:25.680 --> 03:26:30.560 not a track so you're not like way far off of the field you're a little closer 03:26:30.560 --> 03:26:36.520 to the field and also being able to add that softball field on there without the 03:26:36.520 --> 03:26:42.680 track around again is just adding to the other sport again it's nothing against 03:26:42.680 --> 03:26:45.880 not supporting our track and field athletes we love our track and field 03:26:45.880 --> 03:26:52.200 athletes as you heard before the the PA system can work out of both sides we'll 03:26:52.200 --> 03:26:57.040 have windows going out of both sides so we can be announcing any events that we 03:26:57.040 --> 03:27:02.560 have to on the other side and then have those nice bleachers that were moved 03:27:02.560 --> 03:27:09.080 over so that was the kind of the whole thought processing all in a lot of it 03:27:09.080 --> 03:27:13.400 like I said before is the scheduling and being able to have two nice 03:27:13.400 --> 03:27:17.720 competition fields right next to each other I have a question for you when did 03:27:17.720 --> 03:27:23.040 we resurface our track and we started to start track right after cold bed 03:27:23.040 --> 03:27:31.960 yeah so that's a whole new track that's been put down that we paid for in 20 I 03:27:31.960 --> 03:27:42.000 think it was 2020 it could have been a good condition 03:27:42.000 --> 03:27:48.360 so that was also an intentional consideration was the condition of the track 03:27:48.360 --> 03:27:53.120 yes correct putting in you know obviously a new field in that that's 03:27:53.120 --> 03:27:58.360 field turf would be a lot of going back and over that track that we just resurfaced 03:27:58.360 --> 03:28:09.520 not to want to go I just have a question so how this reads just so that I fully 03:28:09.560 --> 03:28:14.200 understand if we approve this right now and Glenda you had said that there there's 03:28:14.200 --> 03:28:20.960 like thresholds of dollar amounts so if we approve this would we do we have to 03:28:20.960 --> 03:28:24.360 vote then anytime something is funded or could could the administration 03:28:24.360 --> 03:28:27.840 essentially completely approve and fund this entire nine million dollar 03:28:27.840 --> 03:28:33.800 project if we approve this motion okay okay okay I just want to be very clear 03:28:33.800 --> 03:28:37.400 over a threshold of ten thousand dollars it has to be brought to the board okay 03:28:37.400 --> 03:28:49.320 in order to vote okay got you okay good questions now every item currently on 03:28:49.320 --> 03:28:54.560 the ten-year capital improvement plan has a dollar amount associated with it 03:28:54.560 --> 03:28:58.800 but there's no dollar amount in the motion 03:29:03.800 --> 03:29:05.800 leave on the referendum 03:29:09.800 --> 03:29:18.160 not all not all okay no essentially the stuff that's on there is not included in 03:29:18.160 --> 03:29:23.680 the referendum that's why that that's why that is a pretty small list right now 03:29:23.680 --> 03:29:29.640 and if you go back and think about when you did the RFP for architect services 03:29:29.640 --> 03:29:36.960 pre referendum part of that RFP included once the referendum work is done they 03:29:36.960 --> 03:29:45.280 will help develop with dates years timeline and budgets any deferred 03:29:45.280 --> 03:29:49.280 maintenance and then life expectancy maintenance as well so even though we 03:29:49.280 --> 03:29:54.280 built Johnny it's Bradley this year spoilers have a life expectancy of say 03:29:54.280 --> 03:29:59.280 20 years we'll have a line item for that saying you know in 20 years you're 03:29:59.280 --> 03:30:02.920 gonna have to have money for boilers they're gonna that's part of their 03:30:02.920 --> 03:30:07.320 scope to help us develop that after all the referendum work is done but given 03:30:07.320 --> 03:30:12.960 the efficiencies that we found through Johnny it's Bradley that's still to be 03:30:12.960 --> 03:30:16.920 determined how much we're gonna be able to take off of that potential deferred 03:30:16.920 --> 03:30:21.960 maintenance list that will have remaining so once we get all the referendum 03:30:21.960 --> 03:30:27.720 dollars spent accounted for that work done then we'll tackle that long-term 03:30:27.720 --> 03:30:34.680 plan and that that 10-year capital improvement will drastically change 03:30:35.400 --> 03:30:41.480 there's still no dollar amount in the motion I'm assuming with we add it to 03:30:41.480 --> 03:30:46.880 the capital improvement plan it has to go with a dollar amount no no no they're 03:30:46.880 --> 03:30:52.080 they're you're not required to have a dollar amount oh but it has to be on the 03:30:52.080 --> 03:31:00.760 plan for us to spend the $5,000 to repair the scoreboard during the 03:31:00.760 --> 03:31:09.840 presentation mr. Gillespie said 50% financial fund from fund 46 what does 03:31:09.840 --> 03:31:15.360 that mean like the total amount in fund 46 you want half of that or do you want 03:31:15.360 --> 03:31:21.960 half of the 8.2 million or what what 50% are you looking at 03:31:29.360 --> 03:31:34.560 being in financial services that I am I kind of figured that you might ask 03:31:34.560 --> 03:31:43.600 that question without fully being told exactly what's in fund 46 I heard 03:31:43.600 --> 03:31:50.000 numbers so what I did with the group is we said okay our private community 03:31:50.000 --> 03:31:56.600 foundation etc fund raising is going to be plus or minus $3 million if this gets 03:31:56.600 --> 03:32:02.480 approved it take whatever is in the fund 46 and I'm just going to make up a 03:32:02.480 --> 03:32:05.880 number because I don't know for sure so if it's nine million dollars we're 03:32:05.880 --> 03:32:14.880 asking for 4.5 and leaving 4.5 behind for the next project okay all right thank 03:32:14.880 --> 03:32:19.600 you can I also what before you said don't have you had any barriers with 03:32:19.600 --> 03:32:24.320 fundraising with the district not committing a dollar amount to this 03:32:24.320 --> 03:32:29.040 project I'm sorry to say that again if you had any barriers in your fund raising 03:32:29.040 --> 03:32:33.840 efforts with the district not committing a dollar amount to this project I heard 03:32:33.920 --> 03:32:38.200 an objection to the word pause the only reason that they even brought it up in 03:32:38.200 --> 03:32:43.320 the presentation is because those people are committed but they didn't want to be 03:32:43.320 --> 03:32:49.400 the first one in line yep they wanted the board to say yes this is an important 03:32:49.400 --> 03:32:53.880 project we back it and then those individuals and those companies are 03:32:53.880 --> 03:33:03.120 gonna say we're in so we've got some already neighborhood of 255,000 but 03:33:03.120 --> 03:33:08.160 there's a big gap between that 255 and the two plus 3 million that we can't 03:33:08.160 --> 03:33:15.360 raise and that's all part all waiting for a decision okay now could somebody 03:33:15.360 --> 03:33:21.280 change the mind absolutely but at the same time we need some yeses there's 03:33:21.280 --> 03:33:26.600 some votes so I can go back to mr. so-and-so and say hey you know you were 03:33:26.600 --> 03:33:32.200 nice enough to give us 50,000 for 2026 the board's on board we need another 03:33:32.200 --> 03:33:38.520 commitment from you for 2027 they're willing I mean I can tell I've been in 03:33:38.520 --> 03:33:44.280 sales for the most of my life but they're waiting for some action and I'll just 03:33:44.280 --> 03:33:49.240 be honest the pause was result of the all the 90 days and of what you spent 03:33:49.240 --> 03:33:54.440 most of the meeting they're talking about tonight so I understand and you 03:33:54.440 --> 03:33:58.960 probably be you too is that helpful yeah and that pause was also directly tied to 03:33:58.960 --> 03:34:03.820 this exact item concerns about our facilities and maintaining our 03:34:03.820 --> 03:34:08.440 facilities and I think we've done a very good job discussing tonight for any 03:34:08.440 --> 03:34:15.040 potential donors to the grid iron club in any organization that this district 03:34:15.040 --> 03:34:20.000 did not properly budget to maintain our facilities that is that's why we had 03:34:20.000 --> 03:34:26.440 referendum and also why we did not appropriately or at all utilize this 03:34:26.440 --> 03:34:32.320 fund to maintain our facilities and we are showing our community or taxpayers 03:34:32.320 --> 03:34:36.760 our staff students families that we are prioritizing ensuring that our 03:34:36.760 --> 03:34:41.440 facilities are not ignored and neglected and that's in a position that they 03:34:41.440 --> 03:34:45.400 notably the elementary buildings but right now school field stadium is no 03:34:45.400 --> 03:34:51.520 different than those elementary buildings were and it breaks my heart to see to 03:34:51.560 --> 03:34:57.800 see that so I guess before I go there this is what our donor I think needed to 03:34:57.800 --> 03:35:01.960 see is our capital improvement fund and what we're doing with it and that we're 03:35:01.960 --> 03:35:05.040 checking boxes and getting rid of things showing that we're maintaining our 03:35:05.040 --> 03:35:10.680 facilities and further that we will be going to a board retreat to create a 03:35:10.680 --> 03:35:16.800 strategic plan centered around our facilities so we're prioritizing all of 03:35:16.800 --> 03:35:20.520 that and I think that's important for for you guys to know and your donors to 03:35:20.520 --> 03:35:26.160 know too secondly I have not been to school field stadium when there is not a 03:35:26.160 --> 03:35:32.080 game going on okay mind blowing because these pictures don't even do it justice 03:35:32.080 --> 03:35:40.240 and when and I've had conversations with you I'm I'm in support I think a 03:35:40.240 --> 03:35:45.760 facility in a football team brings a community together that in a way that no 03:35:45.840 --> 03:35:50.960 other sport can by default that is not it's not picking a favorite sport it's 03:35:50.960 --> 03:35:56.760 just simply you get homecoming you get ballgame you get a parade going downtown 03:35:56.760 --> 03:36:01.560 you get people that are going out for fish fries generating revenue and in 03:36:01.560 --> 03:36:05.360 the community that's like a just a Friday night lights thing right you have 03:36:05.360 --> 03:36:11.680 your fifth quarter at at local establishment with a local business with 03:36:11.680 --> 03:36:14.680 students and parents it like you're generating revenue you're bringing 03:36:14.720 --> 03:36:17.480 people together you're creating excitement there's a newspaper there 03:36:17.480 --> 03:36:21.240 because they're covering the homecoming court and who you know you have an 03:36:21.240 --> 03:36:25.000 assembly like there's a lot that's tied to that's there's a lot that is rich in 03:36:25.000 --> 03:36:30.000 the community when you have a football program and what we have to offer 03:36:30.000 --> 03:36:36.280 especially their history is really shocking where we were and now that that's 03:36:36.280 --> 03:36:40.160 truly really embarrassing in this heartbreaking to see the facilities that 03:36:40.160 --> 03:36:47.000 we do not have to see that we have come so accustomed to saying we can make 03:36:47.000 --> 03:36:52.520 do it'll be okay like that's not our okay anymore our standards we should 03:36:52.520 --> 03:36:57.160 set our standards for ourselves as a district much higher than that we don't 03:36:57.160 --> 03:37:00.680 say it's okay is that we're at the bottom of the state academically no we 03:37:00.680 --> 03:37:03.960 said it's ridiculous that we are at the bottom of the state academically and we 03:37:03.960 --> 03:37:07.080 did something about it we continue to and I challenge this board in our 03:37:07.120 --> 03:37:11.120 community to also feel the same way about our facilities we should not we 03:37:11.120 --> 03:37:14.440 should not feel okay with how school field stadium looks we should not feel 03:37:14.440 --> 03:37:18.560 proud of that we should want more for ourselves in our community because quite 03:37:18.560 --> 03:37:24.160 honestly football programs generate revenue all do all I'm not minimizing 03:37:24.160 --> 03:37:28.720 but again football programs just bring something that other sports cannot by 03:37:28.720 --> 03:37:33.680 by the nature of the East so I hope strongly that our community wraps 03:37:33.680 --> 03:37:36.760 around you with donations that our district does and then we shift our 03:37:36.760 --> 03:37:42.480 mindset to that we don't have to just make do we don't have to be okay I 03:37:42.480 --> 03:37:45.040 wish that was on the screen actually because it was so disheartening we don't 03:37:45.040 --> 03:37:49.240 have to be okay with what that was knowing what's possible now we don't 03:37:49.240 --> 03:37:53.360 have to have it everybody else has but we can budget like districts similar to 03:37:53.360 --> 03:37:56.880 our size half and provide opportunities for our students because at the end of 03:37:56.880 --> 03:38:01.040 the day board of education knows that co-curriculars increase academic 03:38:01.080 --> 03:38:06.400 achievement outcomes correct so I thank you for all the work that you you all 03:38:06.400 --> 03:38:10.360 have put in and really hopeful for your project and I appreciate that there's 03:38:10.360 --> 03:38:15.200 also financial planning to to maintain your facility moving forward I'd like to 03:38:15.200 --> 03:38:21.400 add two quick things but thank you very much number one is your community 03:38:21.400 --> 03:38:26.960 leaders are behind this project I was asked to help these people but these 03:38:27.000 --> 03:38:34.320 people your fellow community members they took me on appointments with some 03:38:34.320 --> 03:38:40.320 of the business leaders and they're all forward they are all forward they want 03:38:40.320 --> 03:38:45.640 what Annie go used to have and when I my second point is when I played the 03:38:45.640 --> 03:38:49.880 banks closed early so that the people in the bank would go to the game that's 03:38:49.880 --> 03:38:55.400 true statement did you anything do you have a question or something okay 03:38:57.960 --> 03:39:06.560 oh thank you I was understand who Ray was yes thank you Ray go ahead you can 03:39:06.560 --> 03:39:14.920 speak yeah I'm still here thank you but thank you Jill for actually pointing 03:39:14.920 --> 03:39:21.640 that out we were fortunate enough to invite Glenda the current facility Angie 03:39:21.640 --> 03:39:25.400 was and Jill were gracious enough to share their time with us looking at the 03:39:25.440 --> 03:39:29.840 facility without a crowd being there and actually walk the facility and see it 03:39:29.840 --> 03:39:34.920 and it is disheartening because this is something that has brought so much pride 03:39:34.920 --> 03:39:39.800 to anago that facility is done so many things talking to an administrative 03:39:39.800 --> 03:39:43.520 member that actually went on one of her first dates with her now husband to a 03:39:43.520 --> 03:39:48.360 Friday night game because that's what the community did so I want to point 03:39:48.360 --> 03:39:51.880 out the fact that this is so much more than just a football field this is 03:39:51.880 --> 03:39:54.960 something that creates pride in our students being somebody that played 03:39:54.960 --> 03:39:59.240 football for 13 years it drove me and motivated me to be a better student 03:39:59.240 --> 03:40:04.840 which in turn drove me to work that much harder in my entire life in my career 03:40:04.840 --> 03:40:10.440 as a husband as a dad it just teaches our kids so much more and again it's not 03:40:10.440 --> 03:40:14.680 just a football thing this is a soccer thing this is a band thing this is a 03:40:14.680 --> 03:40:19.520 physical education thing anything if as far as the high school even in a new 03:40:19.640 --> 03:40:23.640 elementary school being in close proximity they can utilize this facility 03:40:23.640 --> 03:40:28.600 you have future staff members that may see this facility and take pride in it 03:40:28.600 --> 03:40:32.280 and understand our district takes pride in their facilities as a whole you have 03:40:32.280 --> 03:40:36.040 future families that may come to our community or be debating coming to our 03:40:36.040 --> 03:40:40.440 community between and a right lander or Merrill or other these competing 03:40:40.440 --> 03:40:44.640 communities that see holy cow and go takes a lot of pride in what they have 03:40:44.640 --> 03:40:48.640 look at their facilities look at the opportunities they have here I mean it's 03:40:48.680 --> 03:40:53.280 so much more than what it says on the paper of saying a football field or 03:40:53.280 --> 03:40:57.560 moving the football project to the capital improvement plan it's so much 03:40:57.560 --> 03:41:03.000 more I just want to emphasize that we really have an opportunity here to 03:41:03.000 --> 03:41:09.680 reinstill pride into the anago community and I just want to point out in the 03:41:09.680 --> 03:41:13.680 beginning your motto was pointing out to be to not talk about it but to be about 03:41:13.680 --> 03:41:17.720 it this is an opportunity to really be about it and move forward and not just 03:41:17.720 --> 03:41:21.520 kick something down the road even further we can take care of it now we 03:41:21.520 --> 03:41:24.600 have the ability to do so and I just want to do that I think we owe it to our 03:41:24.600 --> 03:41:28.520 community we owe it to our students we owe it to our kids so thank you again 03:41:28.520 --> 03:41:34.400 for taking the time to go to Scofield and really consider our project it really 03:41:34.400 --> 03:41:38.280 does mean a lot to us this is close to my heart I hope it's close to a lot of 03:41:38.280 --> 03:41:41.800 community members hearts we had a great turnout from what I hear I can't see the 03:41:41.800 --> 03:41:46.680 crowd but we had a great turnout tonight supporting this even students that 03:41:46.680 --> 03:41:50.520 showed up to help support this I just want to shout out tonight thank you for 03:41:50.520 --> 03:41:55.440 being here thank you for showing your support so thank you thank you Ray for 03:41:55.440 --> 03:42:06.680 staying with us all the way in Utah of course I want to say yeah I was really 03:42:06.680 --> 03:42:11.200 impressed with the presentation I'm excited about the opportunity as a 03:42:11.200 --> 03:42:16.040 board member though this is the first time I've seen this I do not feel prepared 03:42:16.040 --> 03:42:21.960 to make this decision tonight I know that's not probably what you're wanting 03:42:21.960 --> 03:42:26.920 to hear but I do need a little at least a little bit of time to take it all in 03:42:26.920 --> 03:42:31.840 and process it and hear from constituents and and you know just wrap my head 03:42:31.840 --> 03:42:37.440 around everything so I can tell you probably guarantee you that I won't be 03:42:37.440 --> 03:42:42.160 voting for any motions to put this on the Capitol Improvement Plan tonight I 03:42:42.520 --> 03:42:46.240 just need a little more time to get information and wrap my head around at 03:42:46.240 --> 03:42:53.040 all you have the questions or discussion of the motion on the floor 03:42:55.200 --> 03:43:00.480 and I will vote in favor of adding it to the Capitol Improvement Fund is made 03:43:00.480 --> 03:43:07.080 earlier noted by Chris Newman she made the motion and it allows flexibility and it 03:43:07.080 --> 03:43:13.520 is simply showing an investment to a discussion on it and in having safeguards 03:43:13.520 --> 03:43:19.040 in place for those items that were listed earlier that were not functional 03:43:19.040 --> 03:43:25.000 earlier and remain questionable depending on whether and things like that so it's 03:43:25.000 --> 03:43:28.920 I won't vote in favor because it allows us the opportunity to spend five thousand 03:43:28.920 --> 03:43:32.600 dollars in the scoreboard on Thursday when we have a home game on Friday because 03:43:32.600 --> 03:43:38.580 if we know knowing that nothing over 10 grand can get purchased without 03:43:38.580 --> 03:43:41.240 far to prove though 03:43:43.160 --> 03:43:46.720 Melissa I think I heard I think she kind of answered my question but I'll just 03:43:46.720 --> 03:43:54.000 don't ask it again so if we vote yes to this we're just putting it up there 03:43:54.000 --> 03:43:59.680 anything I mean nothing is gonna go forward unless we vote on it unless it's 03:43:59.680 --> 03:44:04.120 minimal correct middle yes this is just allowing if I vote yes tonight I'm 03:44:04.120 --> 03:44:10.240 allowing us to have the opportunity to vote to replace something made or the 03:44:10.240 --> 03:44:15.280 lights or whatever at Scofield but then we would still have the opportunity to 03:44:15.280 --> 03:44:20.880 vote yes or no one things when we discussed more about yes thank you thank 03:44:20.880 --> 03:44:29.240 you okay I'm going to ask for the vote your voting device is now open 03:44:29.240 --> 03:44:47.440 with anyone like to change their vote the vote is now closed and the motion 03:44:47.440 --> 03:44:53.840 carries with all but three in favor of the motion on the floor moving on to 03:44:53.840 --> 03:44:59.360 item H consideration to approve the second reading of Neola Act 89 policies I 03:44:59.360 --> 03:45:02.960 will be looking for a motion please I move to approve the second reading of 03:45:02.960 --> 03:45:08.120 Neola Act 89 policies as presented motion has been made by Kristin to approve the 03:45:08.120 --> 03:45:13.280 second reading of the Neola Act 89 policies which means that should this 03:45:13.280 --> 03:45:18.000 pass then this will become part of the policies Kristin would you like to speak 03:45:18.000 --> 03:45:25.640 to your motion any questions of the motion on the floor I have Jean go ahead 03:45:25.640 --> 03:45:33.600 I have some suggested changes I'm not sure about the best way to communicate it 03:45:33.600 --> 03:45:42.920 I mean I could do it verbally it's not crazy but it is a little bit longish so 03:45:42.920 --> 03:45:46.720 I suggested would be to bring those to the policy committee for them to change 03:45:46.720 --> 03:45:52.120 them for the future and let the policy committee work those changes out and 03:45:52.120 --> 03:45:57.160 then bring the recommendation to the board so we could pass this today and 03:45:57.160 --> 03:46:07.480 then change absolutely I could make a proposed change they were just these 03:46:07.480 --> 03:46:12.520 check boxes that was inconsistent among the different like there was a 03:46:12.520 --> 03:46:16.640 volunteers how they communicate with students and check check check and then 03:46:16.640 --> 03:46:19.840 then there was school board members and how they can you can check check in the 03:46:19.840 --> 03:46:24.200 checks were different and they didn't seem to you know maybe just is it more 03:46:24.200 --> 03:46:29.560 formatting no oh there's okay I didn't know if maybe it's like the different 03:46:29.560 --> 03:46:33.040 ways that were you were allowed to communicate or topics you were allowed 03:46:33.040 --> 03:46:35.680 to communicate 03:46:36.520 --> 03:46:43.640 okay so I guess we did discuss that during our meeting and it was based on 03:46:43.640 --> 03:46:47.240 what information those different entities should be providing and what 03:46:47.240 --> 03:46:54.840 matter so it was intentional choosing yeah but like there's one that said for 03:46:54.840 --> 03:46:59.840 board members there was no appropriate content identified even though the check 03:46:59.840 --> 03:47:04.240 before it said board members could communicate with students but then there 03:47:04.240 --> 03:47:10.280 was no appropriate content so I guess they can send a blank text message 03:47:34.240 --> 03:47:47.880 I think the check mark that was done to answer your question Jean was 03:47:47.880 --> 03:47:53.640 actually the last X on page six because page six says when board members 03:47:53.640 --> 03:47:58.360 communicate with students and when the student is the one that is initiating 03:47:58.360 --> 03:48:02.960 that conversation the board members should direct the students to contact the 03:48:02.960 --> 03:48:07.800 appropriate school staff member so if a student reaches out to a board member 03:48:07.800 --> 03:48:15.400 that board member is to instruct them to reach out to the appropriate staff 03:48:15.400 --> 03:48:17.880 member 03:48:17.880 --> 03:48:21.280 the ones that aren't checked mark it says communications must remain 03:48:21.280 --> 03:48:26.560 professional and so it doesn't instead of limited to that conversation it's 03:48:26.560 --> 03:48:29.880 giving you a broad where broad answer it has to be professional 03:48:29.880 --> 03:48:35.000 and is within the setting huh okay I was interpreting that differently that 03:48:35.000 --> 03:48:40.120 last thing on page six I was seeing that is you know blah blah blah must be 03:48:40.120 --> 03:48:44.360 appropriate and then I thought okay now in the next paragraph it says what's 03:48:44.360 --> 03:48:54.080 appropriate nothing that's how I was interpreting it again if board members 03:48:54.080 --> 03:48:57.680 are reaching out because of the situation to a student they're stepping 03:48:57.680 --> 03:49:01.640 out of their lane as a board member should not be doing that it should be 03:49:01.640 --> 03:49:06.840 referring that student to a staff member because that is not our lane as board 03:49:06.840 --> 03:49:12.720 members to correct discipline or anything of a student unless it comes to the 03:49:12.720 --> 03:49:17.680 board as a whole for student discipline such as student expulsions 03:49:17.680 --> 03:49:26.000 okay so then on page 49 where it's now it's talking about when students 03:49:26.000 --> 03:49:33.240 communicate and it lists off with staff volunteers or board members and then it 03:49:33.240 --> 03:49:38.160 ticks off a couple of things that are content related so maybe board members 03:49:38.160 --> 03:49:44.200 should be struck from that listing maybe it should say for students 03:49:44.200 --> 03:49:52.080 communicating with staff or volunteers and cross out board members on page 49 03:49:52.080 --> 03:49:59.480 some of the changes or differences also address that many school districts will 03:49:59.480 --> 03:50:09.360 have board members who are also coaches so their engagement with students the 03:50:09.360 --> 03:50:15.760 whole premise behind this act update is to help train our staff because the state 03:50:15.760 --> 03:50:22.560 has had a big push on a raising awareness around grooming of children 03:50:22.560 --> 03:50:28.760 and to make sure that things are put in place so that coaching staff is just 03:50:28.760 --> 03:50:33.760 not willing nearly reaching out and texting or snap chatting with students 03:50:33.760 --> 03:50:40.560 because it becomes an issue when you try to collect records of communication if 03:50:40.560 --> 03:50:46.200 any of the grooming took place over those methods so it's important to have a 03:50:46.200 --> 03:50:51.920 method of communication that is approved and that the district has access to to 03:50:51.920 --> 03:50:57.400 be able to track that information and just like I'll reiterate what our board 03:50:57.400 --> 03:51:03.400 president said about as a board member there would be limited times that you 03:51:03.400 --> 03:51:08.920 would be engaging with a student unless the student reached out and said I want 03:51:08.920 --> 03:51:14.200 to interview you for such and such you know there are certain situations but 03:51:14.200 --> 03:51:21.400 less more than not unless you were volunteering to work as a coach okay I'll 03:51:21.400 --> 03:51:25.880 just pass the stuff on to the policy committee and they can they can shred it 03:51:25.880 --> 03:51:34.160 yeah thank you Jean you're welcome any other questions or comments our 03:51:34.160 --> 03:51:38.040 discussion of the motion on the floor to approve the second reading of the 03:51:38.040 --> 03:51:45.800 Niola Act 89 all right your voting device is now
