THAT'S CHAIRMAN KEITH GINGERY, VICE-CHAIRMAN BILL SCARLETT, TREASURER JANINE TESKE AND CLERK BETSY CARLIN.
>> IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION?
>> MR. CHAIR, I'M GOING TO OBJECT TO THAT MOTION.
>> BECAUSE I DO NOT THINK IT'S BEEN THE PRACTICE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME TO HAVE PEOPLE SERVE FOR TWO YEARS.
CERTAIN OFFICES HAVE THAT DO NOT ASSIMILATE AND SO I'M GOING TO VOTE NO FOR THE MOTION.

[00:05:02]
IT'S ANDY SCHWARTZ IS THE COMMISSIONER.THEY'RE REQUIRED BY LAW TO EXIST.
>> I CAN STAY ON. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN'T SHIRK MY RESPONSIBILITY.
>> YOU DID NOT SHIRK ANY RESPONSIBILITY.
>> THANK YOU. I CAN STICK WITH ONE WEEK, THAT'S IT.
>> I'LL LOOK INTO THAT BETSY AND FIND OUT WHY THAT HASN'T BEEN MEETING.
>> MAYBE THEY DIDN'T GET ANY [INAUDIBLE].

DFS KEPT FUNDING IT IF WE HAD THE BOARD AND THEN THE MONEY GOT SPLIT UP BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN [INAUDIBLE] SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S A BIG HONOR FOR YOU TO GET YOUR CONTINUING CONTRACTS.I KNOW [INAUDIBLE] AND THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS EVENING.
I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A PAIN AT 6 O'CLOCK AFTERWARDS TO COME DOWN HERE.
BUT WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE SAW YOUR SMILING FACES AND JUST CONGRATULATE YOU.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE YOU AS PART OF THE TEAM, AND HOPEFULLY, YOU'RE PART OF THE TEAM FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. THANK YOU.
THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP WORK HAS BEEN PROVIDED, IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS BE HAPPY TO FILL THEM.
>> ANYBODY HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON THE DISTRICT LEADER REPORT TRUSTEE MEETING?
>> [INAUDIBLE], SUPERINTENDENT CHAPLAINS. ARE THE PARENT-TEACHERS CONFERENCES MOSTLY BY ZOOM NOW?
>> CHAIR [INAUDIBLE] I TRUST IT DEPENDS.
WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT'S BEEN PRETTY SUCCESSFUL FOR MANY FAMILIES.
SOME FAMILIES PREFER TO BE IN FACE-TO-FACE.
BUT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH THE ZOOM PLATFORM MAKING IT CONVENIENT FOR FOLKS.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE PRINCIPLES WANT TO SHARE ANY OTHER INFORMATION.
>> THE QUESTION WAS, ARE PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES MOSTLY VIA ZOOM RIGHT NOW? LOOKS LIKE NAT HAS VOLUNTEERED HIMSELF.
>> [INAUDIBLE] PRINCIPAL, JACKSON MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WE IMPLEMENTED THAT ACTUALLY LAST YEAR.
IT WAS ACTUALLY WILDLY SUCCESSFUL.
WE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A MODEL TO REPLACE THE LONG LINES THAT HAD BEEN IN THE COMMENTS SOME OF YOU PROBABLY [LAUGHTER] EXPERIENCED THAT YOURSELVES.
THEY WERE SOMETIMES 10 PARENTS DEEP.
WE SEND OUT A GOOGLE FORM FOR PARENTS TO SIGN UP FOR A TIME THAT WORKS FOR THEM AND FOR THE TEACHERS THAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE.
WE KEEP THOSE TO 7-10 MINUTES AND THEN THE NEXT PARENT COMES 10 MINUTES LATER, SO IT'S WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL.
>>MR. [INAUDIBLE] CHAPLAIN, MR. HOSHAH.
HAVE PARENTS RESPONDED POSITIVELY TO IT? EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU HEAR SOMEBODY SAY PARENT-TEACHERS CONFERENCES.
SOME PEOPLE WANT TO GO IN PERSON ON THE BIG POLLS, COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.
WHAT'S YOUR READ ON WHAT PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT IT?
>> I USUALLY HEAR THE NEGATIVE FOR SURE AND I'VE ONLY HEARD POSITIVE IN TERMS OF POSITIVE EMAILS TO ME AND ALL SORT OF FEEDBACK TO THE TEACHERS, SO I'VE HAD ZERO COMPLAINTS.
>> I THINK I WOULD HAVE LOVE THAT [LAUGHTER]
>> THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL CONTINUE WELL BEYOND DOUBT
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE DISTRICT LEADER'S REPORT?
>> BEING NONE, WE CAN MOVE ON TO OUR EDUCATIONAL MOMENT.
>> THANKS, MR. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES.
AT THE MOMENT, THIS MONTH IS ABOUT THE GVC.
WE DECIDED TO TALK ABOUT THAT ACRONYM IN LARGE PART BECAUSE LAST MONTH WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT OUR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS, YOU HEARD ALMOST EVERY PRINCIPAL SAY GVC.
WHAT DOES THAT STAND FOR? IT'S A MOUTHFUL, GUARANTEED AND VIABLE CURRICULUM.
WHAT IS IT? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? WE TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. WHAT IS IT? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CURRICULUM, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S JUST THE ADD ON THERE.
IT ENSURES ALL STUDENTS HAVE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN.
EACH STUDENT WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AN EFFECTIVE OF A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHER, ACCESS TO THE SAME CONTENT, KNOWLEDGE, AND SKILLS OF EACH SECTION OR CLASS.
ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE, WHEN WE SAY THE WORD GUARANTEED AND VIABLE, IS WHAT ARE ALL STUDENTS GETTING.
FOR INSTANCE IF YOU'RE A STUDENT AT WILSON ELEMENTARY, THE SAME CONTENT, THE SAME INSTRUCTION IS TO BE EXPECTED AS IF YOU'RE GOING TO MUNGER MOUNTAIN OUTLINE SCHOOLS, JACKSON ELEMENTARY COULTER, AND SO ON.
THAT'S THE GUARANTEED PART. SAME CONTENT.
VIABLE IS JUST, IF THIS IS WHAT WE WANT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN AND BE ABLE TO DO, IS IT ACTUALLY POSSIBLE? IS THERE ENOUGH TIME WITHIN THE SCHOOL YEAR AND WITHIN THAT COURSE TO ACTUALLY TEACH ALL OF THAT CONTENT.
I WANTED TO ALSO MAKE ONE CONNECTION TO PLCS.
YOU HEAR US TALK ABOUT PLCS ALL THE TIME.
WE'VE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT WHENEVER TEAMS OF TEACHERS ARE COLLABORATING WITHIN A PLC FRAMEWORK, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, THERE'S FOUR GUIDING QUESTIONS THAT GUIDES THEIR COLLABORATIVE WORK.
[00:15:05]
FIRST AND FOREMOST THAT VERY FIRST QUESTION IS, WHAT DO WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO? IT SOUNDS VERY SIMPLE BUT THAT ESSENTIALLY IS WHAT THE GVC IS.CLARITY ON WHAT THE CORE INSTRUCTION IS.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? THAT'S GREAT ADRIAN.
>> IS THERE ALSO A GLOSSARY OF TERMS?
>> YES. WE PUT THE GLOSSARY OF TERMS, I THINK IT'S LINKED IN THERE AS WELL.
>> I WASN'T GOING TO GO OVER ALL OF THESE.
THESE ESSENTIALLY COULD BE A RUNNING AGENDA FOR ALL THE YET MOMENTS [LAUGHTER].
TALKED ABOUT PLAYING BINGO, BUT LET ME PLAN FOR THEM.
BUT THERE IS A GLOSSARY OF TERMS THAT WE HAVE STARTED ON THIS YEARS AGO.
HONESTLY, THERE WAS A VERSION OF THIS, TRIED TO PAIR IT DOWN AND SIMPLIFY IT A LITTLE BIT.
A LOT OF THE TERMS YOU'LL SEE ON HERE ARE TERMS THAT WERE USED WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS.
MAYBE OUR FIRST TOPICS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT, WE COULD INCLUDE THAT IN THE YET MOMENT IN THE FUTURE.
>> THIS ISN'T EXACTLY THE APPROPRIATE TIME, BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK AJ FOR PRESENTING YESTERDAY AT SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION MEETING.
HE WAS ONE OF THE MAIN PRESENTERS.
HE KNOCKED OUT [INAUDIBLE] AND REPRESENTS THE DISTRICT SO WELL, AND I JUST APPRECIATE ALL THE EXTRA WORK YOU DO FOR THE SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION.
>> IT'S PERFECT PETERSON IS PRESENTING HERE.
>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. TRUSTEES, YOU KNOW YOU GAVE CHRISTIAN AND I A BIG JOB WHEN WE WENT TO THE UNION CONFERENCE IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY PLAQUES THAT WE RECEIVED.
WE RECEIVED PLAQUES FOR WORK THAT THE WHOLE BOARD HAS DONE IN TRAINING.
I THINK WE RECEIVED TWO OF OURS.
WE RECEIVED DR. CHRIS'S PLAQUE AS PRINCIPLE OF THE YEAR, CONGRATULATIONS.
[APPLAUSE]. AGAIN I'D LIKE TO PRESENT [INAUDIBLE] WITH HER PLAQUE.
SHE GOES FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANK.
>> NOW WE'RE ALL UP TO THE STUDENTS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER REPORT.
[F. Reports and Items for Discussion]
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR HENRY AND BOARD FOR HAVING US.
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON NARROWING DOWN PROJECT AND LOOKING AHEAD INTO OUR NEXT STEP IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE MOST RELIABLE DATA ACROSS ALL SCHOOLS.
>> THE WORK DONE WE GOT OVER THE LAST MONTH.
FIRST OF ALL, WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE ALL OF THE TEACHERS ESPECIALLY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WHO REACHED OUT TO US OFFERING HELP AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE ON ALL OF THEIR GREATEST ADJUSTMENTS IF THEY'RE LISTENING.
WE ARE LOOKING INTO WEBSITE DESIGN OPTIONS LIKE GOOGLE SITES AND SOME OTHERS, AS WELL AS DOMAIN QUESTIONS FOR WHERE THIS WEBSITE WOULD BE ACCESSED THROUGH.
WE CREATED A SURVEY THAT'S ALL READY TO GO AND JUST WANT TO CHECK IT WITH YOU.
WE'LL GO OVER THAT IN A MINUTE. WE ALSO CREATED A TIMELINE.
GOALS FOR THE NEXT MONTH, ARE SENDING OUT THE SURVEY, THAT'S THE FIRST THING, REVIEWING THIS DATA AND THEN CROSS-CHECKING IT WITH EXISTING DATA, ESPECIALLY ON SENIORS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
THEN CREATING THE CAREER LIST AND BUILDING ON IT AND CREATING LISTS.
>> BEFORE SHOWING YOU OUR SURVEYS, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE TWO POINTS.
WHILE OUR HIGH-SCHOOL SURVEY SEEMS TO HAVE AN EMPHASIS ON COLLEGE AND POTENTIAL MAJORS THAT STUDENTS WILL HAVE IN THE FUTURE, WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THAT OUR WEBSITE WILL BE FOR ALL STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF THAT THEY GO TO COLLEGE OR NOT.
THE REASON WHY THERE'S AN EMPHASIS ON COLLEGE AND POTENTIAL MAJORS BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, THAT PROVIDES TANGIBLE DATA THAT WE CAN THEN USE WHEN DETERMINING WHICH PROFESSIONS WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE IN OUR WEBSITE.
THEN THE SECOND POINT BEFORE WE SHOW YOU OUR SURVEYS IS THIS IDEA THAT WHILE OUR SURVEYS ARE SOLELY ASKING FOR INPUTS FROM CURRENT STUDENTS IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL, ULTIMATELY THE PURPOSE OF OUR WEBSITE WILL BE TWO-FOLD.
NOT ONLY IS IT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO CONNECT WITH ALUMNI, TO CONNECT YOU WITH A MENTOR, BUT ALSO FOR ALUMNI AT JJS TO CONNECT WITH OTHER ALUMNI AT JJS AND FOSTERING THIS GREATER LEVEL OF COMMUNITY, NOT JUST BETWEEN STUDENTS AND ALUMNI, BUT BETWEEN ALUMNI AND ALUMNI.
>> STARTING WITH THE HIGH-SCHOOL SURVEY.
JUST TO GIVE QUICK ENOUGH SURVEY NOT OF EVERY SINGLE QUESTION.
[00:20:04]
OUR GOAL IS TO GAIN JUST A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT CAREERS OUR STUDENTS INTERESTED IN THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SO THAT WE CAN TAILOR THE DATABASE TO WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE.BECAUSE YOU COULD BE INFINITELY PRODUCTIVE WILL EVERY SINGLE FACET OF EVERY SINGLE CAREER, BUT WE WANT TO JUST HIT IT WHERE IT ACTUALLY COUNTS AND WHERE IT'LL ACTUALLY GET SOME USE.
FIRST WE ASK HOW THEY'RE FEELING.
I WILL FIRST GO THROUGH IF THEY WANT TO PURSUE FURTHER EDUCATION. SCROLLING DOWN TO [OVERLAPPING].
>> CAN YOU MAKE A BIGGER, BRIGHTER IMAGE?
>> FIRST TWO FINGERS ZOOMING [LAUGHTER] CONTINUING DOWN, IF THEY WANT TO PURSUE CAREERS AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO PURSUE.
GOING FURTHER DOWN, WE PULLED A LIST OF MAJORS FOR UNDERGRADUATE AND COLLEGE IF THEY PLAN TO GO INTO COLLEGE AND THEN SCHOOLING IS FOR ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAT, THERE'S QUITE A FEW.
THEY DON'T NEED TO LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THEM.
THEY CAN FIND IT PRETTY EASILY ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
GOING DOWN INTO NON COLLEGE LEVEL OF EDUCATION.
AGAIN, PRETTY BROAD ON THIS, BUT WE HAVE THE OPTION TO FILL IN SPECIFICALLY IF YOU LIKE.
I KNOW I WANT TO BE MECHANIC IN NASCAR AND NOT JUST A MECHANIC.
YOU CAN FILL THAT IN AND YOU WE'LL FOR THAT IF THERE'S INTEREST IN THAT.
GOING THROUGH THOSE NON COLLEGE REQUIRING CAREERS.
IF YOU WANT TO DO LIKE I SAID, AND THEN THIS IS ASKING JUST IF THIS DATABASE WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THEM.
IF WE GET A BUNCH OF NO'S, LIKE I ALREADY HAVE SOMEONE WHO IN THE CAREER I WANT TO GO INTO AND I CAN TALK TO THEM WHEREVER I WANT TO, WHAT I WANT TO DO, THEN WE MIGHT NEED TO GEAR OUR PROJECT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION TO GET MORE ENGAGED IN ANOTHER LEVEL.
THEN THIS IS THE REAL WORLD QUESTION WHICH I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF DATA FROM THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT ON, BUT IT'S ANOTHER PLACE TO GAIN A PERSPECTIVE ON IT.
THEN I THINK JESSICA'S GOT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. YEAH.
>> SO FAR MIDDLE SCHOOL SURVEY, IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE HIGH SCHOOL EXCEPT WE DECIDED TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE SIMPLE SINCE THERE ARE YOUNGER STUDENTS.
WE STARTED OUT WITH A NICE QUESTION, 'HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?' [LAUGHTER] AND THEN, WE THOUGHT ASKING THEM IF THEY WERE INTERESTED IN LOOKING INTO COLLEGE AND IF SO, WHAT CAREERS THEY HAD ALREADY LOOKED INTO.
WE ALSO ASKED THEM IF IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR THEM TO GET TO MEET A PROFESSIONAL AND HOPEFULLY BEGIN TO LOOK INTO THE CAREERS.
IF WE KEEP SCROLLING, WE ALSO ASK THEM HOW WELL THEY UNDERSTAND HAVING A JOB OR MAYBE LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
WE ALSO AFTER THAT, WE ASKED THEM IF ANY OF THESE FOLLOWING CAREERS INTERESTED THEM.
BENEATH THAT, WE UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ALL STUDENTS AND ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'RE YOUNGER, DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
IN CASE THEY DON'T WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE, WE HAVE OTHER JOBS LISTED BELOW.
>> ONE THING YOU MIGHT WANT, IF YOU WANT TO EDIT LITTLE BIT IS, YOU SAY DO ANY OF THESE APPEAL FIELDS, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE AFTER EACH ONE OF BUSINESS, MAYBE PUT A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK WITH THE YOUNGER KIDS THAT WOULD HELP THEM ESPECIALLY, IF SOME OF YOU SAY SOCIAL SCIENCE.
BUT IF YOU THEN SAID A COUNSELOR OR WHATEVER, THAT MIGHT HELP THEM TO LOOKING AT THIS AND SAY '' OH, YEAH. " THAT'S SOMETHING BETTER.
>> OKAY. DO YOU THINK IF WE IDENTIFIED THAT WITH A CLASS THAT THEY MIGHT BE TAKING AS WELL, THAT COULD BE HELPFUL?
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT SO MUCH.
JUST AS IF YOU LOOK AT BUSINESS, WHAT DO THEY THINK OF? I MEAN DO THEY THINK WORKING IN THE STORE? I THINK IF YOU HAD FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION AND AS TO WHAT EACH OF THOSE BROAD CATEGORIES IS, THAT MIGHT HELP GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC.
>> YES, AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE SURVEYS, THE REASON WHY WE INCLUDED THAT FIRST QUESTION, NOT ONLY IS IT LIKE A NICE MENTAL HEALTH CHECK BUT ALSO THE THREE OF US AGREE THAT WE WANT A SURVEY BEGINS WITH A QUESTION LIKE THAT.
WE'RE MORE LIKELY TO WANT TO ANSWER AUTHENTICALLY AND HONESTLY, SO YES.
[LAUGHTER] MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
>> CAN I ASK A QUESTION BEFORE YOU DO THAT?
>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO WRITE A COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS MAYBE ABOUT WHY DO YOU WANT THIS DATA? WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THESE QUESTIONS?
>> IF YOU HOP BACK ON THE SURVEY, WE HAVE MAYBE A PART OF THAT ADDING.
>> WE JUST HAVE A SHORT DESCRIPTION AT THE TOP,
[00:25:03]
KEEPING UP WITH THE TERMS. IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE HIGH-SCHOOL ONE.YEAH. JUST YOUR RESPONSE WOULD BE USED GENERATE A MENTORSHIP TOOL IN FUTURE.
>> WE CAN EXPAND MORE ON THAT FOR SURE.
>> MAYBE ANOTHER COUPLE OF SENTENCES MIGHT BE GOOD, BUT THANK YOU, THAT'S GREAT.
>> I NOTICED DIDN'T SEE ON YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL LIST, AEROMAN OR ASTRONAUT AND I REALLY DO THINK KIDS WILL STILL BE INTERESTED IN THAT ALL THE WAY INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL.
THEN YOU CAN GIVE THEM AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THEM TO LOSE OUT ON THEIR CHILDHOOD DREAMS. [LAUGHTER]
>> YES. WE'LL DEFINITELY DO THAT.
>> I REALLY WANTED US TO MAKE A TIMELINE BECAUSE WE'RE STARTING TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S REALLY HARD TO [LAUGHTER] COMPLETE A PROJECT ADVISING WE ALL LAY OUT ALL THE STEPS.
BY HAVING THESE MORE RIGID DUE DATES, WE CAN ENSURE THAT WE COULD MEET OUR GOAL BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
>> PROVIDE A HIGH LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE ARE THREE KEY CATEGORIES OF OUR TIMELINE OF OUR ROAD MAP.
THE FIRST TEAM WORK WE NEED TO DO BEFORE OUR WEBSITE, THE SECOND STEP, MAKING THE WEBSITE ITSELF, AND THEN THAT GOES UP LAUNCHING THE WEBSITE.
THIS TRANSLATES INTO 10 STEPS.
THE FIRST STEP IS SENDING OUT THE SURVEY TO THE HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS.
THE TWO SURVEYS, EACH FOR THE TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
THEN THE SECOND STEP, ANALYZING THE DATA AND USING IT TO DECIDE WHICH PROFESSIONS WE WANT TO INCLUDE BASED ON STUDENT INPUT.
THEN ON THIRD STEP, I THEN CREATE A LIST OF PEOPLE PRIORITIZING JHHS ALUMNI, BUT THEN ALSO LOOKING TO TEACHERS AND MORE BROADLY RESEARCH WE CONDUCT ONLINE TO THEN CREATE THIS LIST.
THEN THE FOURTH STEP OF FINALLY REACHING OUT THROUGH EMAIL AND PHONE CALLS, HOPING TO GET THESE PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO JOIN US.
NOT ONLY WILL WE BE ASKED THEM IF THEY'RE WILLING FOR US TO INCLUDE OUR CONTACT INFORMATION, BUT ALSO IF THEY BE ACCOMMODATING STUDENT WHERE TO REACH OUT TO THEM.
WOULD THEY OFFER TO ENGAGE IN THIS LONGER DIALOGUE? WILL THEY WANT TO BE A MENTOR? ARE THEY WILLING TO BE A PART OF THIS LARGER PROJECT? THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO IN JANUARY, AS YOU CAN SEE YOU NEXT TO EVERYTHING THERE IS THE DATE.
THEN LOOKING TO THE FIRST STEP OF THE SECOND PART, FINALLY, CREATING THIS DIGITAL LAYOUT OF OUR WEBSITE AND THEN USING BOTH SIDES OR SIMILAR PLATFORMS TO MAKE THE WEBSITE ITSELF.
THEN AN IDEA WE HAD WAS POTENTIALLY WORKING WITH THE IT DEPARTMENT IN OUR SCHOOL.
ULTIMATELY NONE OF US ARE MEASURED.
I DON'T THINK NONE OF US ARE COMPUTER SCIENCE PEOPLE AT ALL, FILLING IN THE GAPS OF TECHNOLOGY AND ENSURING THAT WE CAN GET THAT HELPS SO THAT WE CAN STILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE WANT TO.
THEN THE NEXT STEP OF ADDRESSING THE IN-DISTRICT SECURITY ISSUES.
ULTIMATELY, WE DON'T WANT THIS INFORMATION TO BE OPEN TO THE ENTIRE PUBLIC.
WE WANT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE JOINING US, THE ALUMNI, AND THE PROFESSIONALS TO NOTE THAT INFORMATION IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THE PROJECT.
THIS PROBLEM CAME UP AND MY EXPERTISE ENDED WITH MY KNOWLEDGE [INAUDIBLE] WHERE MOSTLY DOMAIN CAN BRING IT IN THIRD PARTY TO VERIFY USER LOGINS OR WHATEVER.
IF WE HAVE ONLY ALLOWS STUDENT EMAILS TO ACCESS THIS WEBSITE OR ONLY ALLOW CERTAIN VERIFIED LOGINS WHO'S VERIFYING THOSE LOGINS WHEN PEOPLE ARE CREATING ACCOUNT, SO IT'S NOT JUST OPEN TO ANYONE WHO FINDS THIS WEB PAGE.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN OTHER FORUMS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
IF WE CAN, THAT'S AN ISSUE WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND FIND OUT IF IT'S BEEN ADDRESS SUPPORT.
THERE'S AN EXISTING VERIFICATION SECURITY ENTITY WE CAN USE IN OUR WEBSITE TO KEEP IT CLOSE.
>> THEN FINALLY, LOOKING TO THE LAST FEW STEPS, FINALLY, LINKING THE WEBSITE TO THE TCSD HOMEPAGE.
THEN THIS LAST STEP OF MAKING SURE THAT THE STREAM BODY OF STUDENTS, MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AND HIGH SCHOOLERS ARE A LOT ALIKE, ARE AWARE OF THIS RESOURCE.
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY IF STUDENTS DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS, IT'S NOT ACHIEVABLE FOR US AT ALL.
SO ENSURING THAT STUDENTS ARE AWARE THROUGH EMAIL, THROUGH ANNOUNCEMENTS, POTENTIAL OTHER FORMS OF PUBLICITY.
>> THOUGH ALWAYS, IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH EFFECTIVE AFTER THIS MEETING TO SEND A SURVEY OUT AND GET IT ALL THOSE SUBSEQUENT SECTION.
THANKS FOR THE INPUT ON THE SURVEY.
[00:30:03]
>> BACK TO FISCAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE.
BACK TO UPDATE FEDERAL FUNDS UPDATE AND THE ARP UPDATE
>> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR, FIRST JUST TO ASK YOU, DO YOU WANT TO START US OFF WITH AN UPDATE FOR FISCAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE?
>> WE'VE DONE FINANCE COMMITTEE, ISN'T IT? WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND TALK ABOUT UP TO WHERE WE ARE.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP IN FRONT OF US THAT THIS WHOLE CONCEPT ON THE UP-FRONTS IS REALLY A PROCESS THAT IS SOLICITING PUBLIC INPUT.
I THINK THE COMMENT WAS MADE YESTERDAY THAT WE'VE RECEIVE 200 FOLKS HAVE RESPONDED TO YOU.
>> ALMOST. WE HAD ABOUT 250 RESPONSES ON THE ARP SURVEY.
WE HAVE TWO SURVEYS OUT RIGHT NOW.
ONE IS ON THE SMART STARTS PLAN, AND ONE IS ON THE ARP FUNDS, BOTH OPEN THROUGH THE END OF JANUARY.
WE ARE STILL SEEKING FEEDBACK.
THOSE ARE POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE.
WE HAD ABOUT 250 RESPONSES WHEN IT JUST WENT OUT TO STAFF AND THEN WE SENT IT OUT TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND ALL OF THE COUNTY LIST SERVES.
I THINK WE GARNERED ANOTHER 40 RESPONSES.
WE'VE HAD QUITE A BIT OF FEEDBACK AND WE'LL BE STARTING TO ASSEMBLE SOME OF THAT FEEDBACK AND PRESENT IT HERE.
THIS SURVEY IS IN RELATION TO THE ONE PART OF MONEY, THE $3.99 MILLION.
ANOTHER THING TO NOTE THOUGH IS, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A LOT MORE MONEY THAN THAT COMING IN AND WE CONTINUE TO BE AWARDED SOME GRANTS THAT ARE MORE FOCUSED ON WHETHER IT'S AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, OR SEL PROGRAMS. WE JUST HAD NOTIFICATION TODAY.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GET YOU GUYS UPDATED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ON SOME OF THESE NOTIFICATIONS, BUT THEY AREN'T COMING IN QUICKLY.
[LAUGHTER] WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS THAT A LOT OF THE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AREN'T APPLYING FOR THESE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO HARD TO MANAGE.
THE RESTRICTIONS ARE TOO TIGHT AND THE TIMELINE TO TURN IT AROUND IS TOO TIGHT.
WE HAVE TO SPEND TO BUY FROM NEXT YEAR.
WE'RE DOING OUR BEST TO REALLY PUT TOGETHER A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THIS FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE GETTING ON THE ARP FUNDS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL IN ALL OF THOSE OTHER AREAS AS WELL, BECAUSE WE CAN SEE WHERE THE PRIORITIES ARE, BOTH FOR STAFF, FOR FAMILIES, AND THEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND THEN FITTING IT IN THE BOX FOR EACH OF THE PART OF MONEY THAT WE'RE RECEIVING.
>> SAYING THAT, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD REALLY APPLY BUSINESS OFFICE, BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING OVER AND ABOVE WITH ALL OF THE BOOKKEEPING THAT'S NECESSARY BECAUSE EACH ONE OF THESE FUNDS HAS ITS OWN BOOKKEEPING REQUIREMENT.
[NOISE] ITS OWN TIMELINE IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU CAN START, WHEN YOU HAVE TO BE FINISHED WITH IT, ITS OWN SET OF GUIDELINES.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR STAFF WHO ARE REALLY TRYING TO KEEP ALL THIS STRAIGHT.
IT'S REALLY GREAT THAT WE'RE GETTING ALL THOSE MONEY, BUT IT REALLY DOES PUT A BIG BURDEN ON THE BUSINESS OFFICE.
>> FOR SURE. IT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE, NOT JUST BUSINESS OFFICE.
I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT HERE, [INAUDIBLE] IS OUR GRANT MANAGER.
SHE'S DOING A LOT OF WORK, IT IS DOING A TON OF WORK.
[NOISE] WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY PUTTING IN, ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATORS ARE GIVING US FEEDBACK AND COMING UP WITH IDEAS ON HOW TO INCORPORATE THE FEEDBACK WITH WHAT THEIR GOALS ARE IN THEIR SCHOOLS, IN THEIR SAP PLAN.
I WOULD SAY THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT AND EVERYBODY'S WORKING TOGETHER THE BEST THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SPENDING THE MONEY IN THE WAY THAT WILL BEST IMPROVE THE EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
>> [LAUGHTER] THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
I'LL DIFFER TO [INAUDIBLE]. [LAUGHTER]
>> THERE TO BE A FIRM ANTI-PROVIDE, JUST WANT TO ASK WE KEEP THAT INVOLVED.
>> YEAH. WE WERE GOING THROUGH AN EXERCISE TODAY TALKING WITH OUR CAKE 12 PRINCIPLES ON THINKING ABOUT ESSENTIALLY HOW DID THESE DOLLARS BEST CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP AND REMOVE STUDENT OUTCOMES FOR ALL REALLY.
AS WE DEVELOP, HERE ARE THE STRATEGIES AND STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS AND STEPS FORWARD TO ACTUALLY DO THAT.
THEN OBVIOUSLY THE MOST IMMEDIATE NEXT STEP IS AND HOW WE EVALUATE WHETHER IT'S EFFECTIVE OR NOT.
CAN'T REALLY SAY YET UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT THAT PLAN IS.
>> A COUPLE OF THE OTHER TOPICS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
WE BRIEFLY TALKED ABOUT COPIERS.
I KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT.
[00:35:02]
[LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND] SOME OF THESE FUNDS COMING IN OUR DISTRICT WE'LL TALK ABOUT ON THE NEXT AGENDA ITEMS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?>> IT SAYS ON HERE, I SHOULD TAKE COMMUNITY INPUT ON THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.
>> THAT IS THE NOTE TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT WE HAVE THE SURVEY POSTED ON THE WEBSITE [OVERLAPPING] OR WE COULD TAKE IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD LIKE TO.
>> ANYONE WHO WISH TO COMMENT ON THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN?
>> I DID SEE A QUESTION ON, AND I'M SURE SHE'S RAISING HER HAND.
SHE WANTS TO ASK, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FROM GLORIA, THE PERSON.
>> THAT'S PROBABLY ON NUMB. DON'T ASK GLORIA GLORY [OVERLAPPING] IF IT'S A BALLPARK.
[BACKGROUND] HI, GLORIA, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDS? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. WE'LL MOVE TO THE SMART START PLAN THAT WE HAVE ON OUR AGENDA EACH MONTH TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAD ANY COMMENTS OR ANY PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PLAN.
I DON'T BELIEVE STAFF HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS, BUT I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE SMART START PLAN.
FIRST, WE'LL START HERE IN THE ROOM.
ANYONE IN THE ROOM HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE SMART START PLAN? SEEING NONE, ANYONE ON ZOOM? LET ME TRY GLORIA AGAIN.
I'M GUESSING THIS IS WHAT SHE WANT TO TALK.
DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON THE SMART START PLAN? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. WE'LL MOVE TO THE JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE-SCHOOL PROJECT UPDATE AND WRAP THE [INAUDIBLE]. CHAIR, TRUSTEES.
FEEL BOLTON, KNOWN AS REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE SCHOOL RENOVATION PROJECT.
WE COULD SCROLL DOWN TO THE SECOND PAGE.
YOU CLICK FINANCIAL UPDATE, AND WE ARE ROUGHLY 47 PERCENT BUILD.
CALENDAR DAYS ELAPSED IS ROUGHLY 42 PERCENT, SO A LITTLE HARD TO TRACK IT THIS WAY BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS A PHASED PROJECT, BUT WE DO SEEM TO BE TRACKING THAT WELL, AND THEY ARE ON TRACK FOR THOSE TWO NUMBERS.
FOR THE CHANGE ORDER SUMMARY, IS DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THIS PAGE.
THIS HASN'T CHANGED SINCE THE LAST MEETING, LAST MONTH, BUT THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF CHANGES UPCOMING PROPOSALS 7 THROUGH 11 WILL BE A MEETING TO CHANGE ORDERS SOONER THAN LATER, SO THOSE ARE UPCOMING.
DOWN TO THE SCHEDULE ON THE NEXT PAGE.
ONCE AGAIN, THE SECURITY VESTIBULE IS PLAGUED BY CHAIRMAN ISSUES FROM SUPPLY CHAIN, AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS MOSTLY DUE TO THE ENTRANCE DOORS AND GLASS.
THAT BEING SAID OVER THE PAST MONTH, AND EVEN SINCE THIS RECORD WAS CREATED, I'VE ROUGHLY TWO WEEKS AGO, THEY HAVE MADE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PUSH ON THE SECURITY VESTIBULE, AND SO THEY COMPLETED THE ROOF, WHICH WAS THE BIGGEST PUSH AND NOW THEY CAN WORK UNDERNEATH THE ROOF, BECAUSE THE CONCERN BEFORE WAS THAT EVERYTHING UNDER THE ROOF WOULD GET WET.
NOW THAT IS DRIED IN, THEY CAN START WORKING ON INVESTING YOURSELF, AND THEY'VE STARTED THE SIDING AND STONE SIDING THAT WE TOOK OFF SOME OF THE OLD PHONES.
MASONS HAVE STARTED PUTTING THAT BACKUP OR PREPPING FOR PUTTING THAT BACKUP, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PROCUREMENT ISSUES, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MOST RECENT SCHEDULE WE HAVE PUSHED TO THE END OF DECEMBER.
THAT BEING SAID, THEY HAVE ALSO STARTED TO BUILD A TEMPORARY WALKWAY FROM JUST NORTH OF WHERE THE SPHERE, THE VESTIBULE IS, TO OUTSIDE THE FENCE LINE, AND THAT SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE DONE EITHER AT THE END OF THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK SO THAT STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO USE THAT ENTRANCE INSTEAD OF THE ENTRANCE NEED A GEM. STONE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. WHAT DOES THE PROCESS LOOK LIKE? TO CONTINUE TO APPROVE, ABSORB?
[00:40:05]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT WORD TO USE FOR SLIPPAGE IN THE TIMELINE.>> WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE OWNER'S GROUP AND THE STATE PROJECT MANAGER, IS THAT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THEY'RE PAST THIS PHASES, CONTRACT AND DATE, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY MORE OVERHEAD TO BUILD FROM, AND SO THEIR BIGGEST PUSH IS THAT WHEN THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR KEEPS SHOWING UP TO GET THIS WORK DONE, WE AREN'T REALLY PAYING ON FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT WASN'T IN THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT.
THAT'S THEIR BIGGEST INCENTIVE TO PUSH THIS EMBEDDED.
DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?
>> I LOOKED AT WHAT'S ON PAGE 2 AND IT SAYS, [INAUDIBLE] FINAL COMPLETION DATE IS JUNE 1ST, 2022 AND THEN I SCROLL DOWN AND WE'LL GET INTO CLASSROOM ADDITION, COFFEE OR COMPLETION [INAUDIBLE] 22.
>> RIGHT. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HASN'T BEEN FORMALIZED YET, BUT I BELIEVE TWO MEETINGS AGO, THE BOARD VOTED TO MOVE THE DEMOLITION PART OF THE CLASSROOM ADDITION TO AFTER-SCHOOL ENDED.
THAT WOULD PUSH THIS CONTRACT COMPLETION DATE TO THAT 81 DAYS EVEN TO TODAY.
HOWEVER, THAT HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED IN THEIR CONTRACT.
THAT MIGHT BE THE CONFUSION THERE.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT EVERYTHING THAT WAS BEING DONE BY CONTRACTOR WITH THE MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO THEM TO GET THIS PROJECT DONE?
>> JUST EITHER KEY TO THAT COMMENT WAS WITH THE MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO THEM.
DO BELIEVE THAT. THAT BEING SAID, THERE ARE MANY MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THEM BECAUSE OF SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES.
>> MR. CHAIR. JOE, HAVE YOU CHECK THEIR INVOICES TO SEE WHEN THEY ORDER TO START ALL THAT THING TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE IT'S SUPPLY CHAIN.
I MEAN, A CHEESY FOR CONTRACTORS NOW AS A SUPPLY CHAIN.
[INAUDIBLE] I KNOW I'VE HEARD IT A MILLION TIMES.
HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THOSE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ORDERED THEM AND FINALLY, FASHION AND IT IS A SUPPLY CHAIN RATHER THAN THEIR OWN INABILITY TO GET THINGS OUT ON TIME?
CHAIR. WE DID DISCUSS THAT ON ARCHITECT CONTRACTOR MEETING, WHICH WAS LAST WEEK.
WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THOSE INVOICES YET BUT I'VE ASKED FOR THEM.
>> GOOD QUESTION. AGAIN, JUST THINGS, JOE.
I'M LOOKING AT A CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS IN THOSE STRUCTURAL STILL COMPLETE VESTIBULE STEAL ALL THAT STUFF SEEMS TO BE COMPLETE.
I'M WONDERING WHAT ALL YOU'RE MISSING?
>> LIKE I SAID BEFORE, SINCE THIS REPORT WAS WRITTEN, THEY HAD FINISHED THE ROOFING AND STARTED THE VESTIBULE AREA ITSELF.
ALL THE WINDOW FRAMES ARE IN AND MOST OF THE GLASSES IN.
REALLY WHAT THEY'RE MISSING IS THE DOORS THEMSELVES BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE AND THE VESTIBULE INSIDE A BUILDING.
>> HI JOE. KITCHEN ARE WE DONE? IT SAYS 12,621 IT SHOULD BE DONE COMPLETELY.
>> JUST TO CLARIFY THAT, WOULD'VE BEEN SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
THEY DO HAVE 30 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION TO THE PUNCH LIST ITEMS. THAT BEING SAID, THEY ARE NOT DONE BUT THEY ARE SO CLOSE.
WE DID HAVE A FRIED WALK-THROUGH WITH THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TODAY, AND THEY SAID ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE. IT LOOKS GREAT.
ONE OF THE SPLENIUS KITCHENS, THEY'VE SEEN MANUAL INSPECTIONS.
IT'S VERY SMALL THINGS AT THIS POINT AND WE ARE HOPING TO TURN THAT OVER TO US IN THE NEXT WEEK, I BELIEVE.
>> SO READY TO GO JANUARY 1ST OR 3RD [OVERLAPPING] IN SCHOOLS WHERE YOU GET IT.
>> YEAH. WHAT SHOULD HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE OCCASION TO START MOVING [INAUDIBLE] IN AND GET SOME ORDER AND DOWN.
THEN SOME TRAINING, BRING HIS PEOPLE AND AND THEN SO WILL RUN WHEN THEY GET BACK FROM VACATION.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JOE?
>> THANK YOU, JOE. IS THAT ALL YOU HAD?
>> YEAH. THAT SOUNDS GOOD, THE KITCHEN AS WELL.
WALKER FOR NAVIGATE, LLC FOR OUR HOUSING STRATEGIC PLAN.
[00:45:02]
[NOISE]>> MR. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES, JUSTINE WALKER.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A PRELIMINARIES PRESENTATION OF THE DISTRICT PROPERTY EVALUATION.
I DID NOT ANTICIPATE COMING TO THIS MEETING.
WE DID GET THE PRELIMINARY A MOCK UP RELEASE, SO WE'RE ABLE TO PRESENT THEM, GET FEEDBACK WHICH ADDS AN ADDITIONAL CHECKING POINTS, SO IT'S REALLY APPRECIATED.
THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENTATION IS REALLY TO JUST WALK THROUGH, I'D LOVE TO GO WITH THE PROCESS OVERVIEW, LOOKING AT SOME OF THE HOUSING NEEDS AND DEMANDS TO JUST REMIND US OF THOSE PIECES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND CHALLENGES.
THEN REVIEWING AND DISCUSSING THE BULK AND SCALE MODELING, AND THEN JUST BRIEFLY CHECK ON NEXT STEPS.
I HAVE MY COMPUTER HERE BECAUSE I'VE GOT SOME NOTES ON.
JUST LOOKING AT THE PROCESS, WE'VE GONE THROUGH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES WERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS LOOKING AT THE DISTRICT PROPERTY EVALUATION AND THEN WE'LL DO PRIORITIZATION IN JANUARY.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE JUST BRIEFLY TEND TO REVIEWING THE HOUSING NEEDS AND DEMANDS.
THE NUMBER OF UNITS BASED ON CURRENT DEMAND IS BETWEEN ABOUT A 170 AND 250 UNITS.
THAT'S BASED ON THE SURVEY, AND THEN ALSO APPLYING IT TO ALL OF THE UNITS, AND I'LL LOOK AT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE BRIEFLY ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
ON THE SIDE IS LOOKING AT A RANGE IS GOING TO BE NEEDED FROM SMALL RENTAL UNITS TO RECRUIT NEW EMPLOYEES THROUGH ENTRY-LEVEL OWNERSHIP TO RETAINING FAMILIES.
THEN LOOKING AT FEATURES AS FAR AS LOCATION, PRICE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS, GARAGES AND YARDS AND THEN THE PRICE POINTS.
THE PRICE POINTS WOULD VARY BASED ON PRODUCT TYPE AND NUMBER OF BEDROOMS. BUT MONTHLY RENTAL RATES WOULD BE BETWEEN 750 TO 2,500, AND SALES PRICES BETWEEN ABOUT 250,000 TO 500,000 WHICH I THINK YOU'LL NOTICE ARE WELL BELOW MARKET RATES.
AS FAR AS THE DEMANDS FOR DISTRICT HOUSING, THIS IS JUST A REPEAT OF WHAT YOU'VE SEEN A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND JUST LOOKING AT THE SURVEY RESULTS SHOWING AN INTEREST IN ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF THOSE SURVEYED ARE INTERESTED IN EITHER PURCHASING OR RENTING.
IF THERE WERE 347 SURVEY RESPONSES, AND BASED ON CURRENT EMPLOYMENT AT THAT TIME, THAT'S ABOUT A 66 PERCENT RESPONSE RATE.
IF WE APPLY THIS 49 PERCENT OF THOSE INTERESTED TO RENT AND EMPLOYMENT, IT WOULD BE ABOUT 250 UNITS THAT EMPLOYEES WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING.
ALTHOUGH THOSE, YOU'LL SEE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A STRONG DEMAND, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT THE DISTRICT COULD JUST GO OUT THE GATE AND BUILD IT TO A 100 UNIT PROJECT.
BUT START MORE OF SMALL-SCALE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE TRUE DEMAND BECAUSE IT TENDS TO CHANGE WHEN THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
HOUSING IS SOMETHING THAT'S NOT PUT TO TRANSITION, SO IT TAKES SOME TIME TO ABSORB OR TO RENT OR SELL SOME OF THE UNIT.
THEN WE CAN GO ON TO THE NEXT.
JUST A REVIEW OF THE FEATURES THAT EMPLOYEES WANT SO IT'S PART OF THE SURVEY AS WELL.
PRICE WAS THE NUMBER ONE, NUMBER ONE FEATURE THAT EMPLOYERS ARE INTERESTED IN.
THIS IS VERY COMMON AND COMPARABLE RESEARCH AND OTHER MOUNTAIN RESORT COMMUNITIES THAT ARE SHOWN THAT THE MOST UNABLE TO COMPROMISE IS ON PRICE, BUT THERE'S A WILLINGNESS TO COMPROMISE ON UNIT TYPE AND UNIT SIZES TYPICALLY.
I THINK IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT STABILITY IS THE NUMBER TWO ITEM AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HEARING A LOT DESTINED DOING THE HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, THE LACK OF STABILITY AND HOUSING IS REALLY CAUSING A LOT OF STRESS, DISCOMFORT, AND DIFFICULT TIMES FOR FOLKS.
I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE RENTAL SIDE OF THIS BECAUSE TODAY THE JACKSON AND TETON COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEPARTMENT
[00:50:02]
JUST CAME OUT WITH THEIR FOURTH QUARTER RENTAL.I WANTED TO SHOW JUST THE MONTHLY GRANTS AND WHAT EMPLOYEES COULD AFFORD TO PAY.
THIS IS INCOME SOME EMPLOYEES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN RENTING OR PURCHASING, AND IT'S BASED ON THE HOUSEHOLD, THEIR FIRST HOLD INCOME'S NOT THEIR INDIVIDUAL INCOMES.
ACCORDING TO THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT THAT LOOKED AT THE FIVE MAJOR APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN JACKSON, A STUDIO APARTMENT IS RENTING, ON AVERAGE ARE OVER $ 2,000.
YOU CAN SEE THE COST BURDEN OF WHAT JUST THE MARKET RENTS AND WHAT EMPLOYEES ARE ABLE TO PAY.
SHOWING HERE IT'S ONLY 24 PERCENT CAN AFFORD STUDIO OR 75 PERCENT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THAT.
>> THIS NUMBER HERE, YOU ARE FIGURING OUT WHAT'S AFFORDABLE OR THIS SURVEY PARTICIPANT TELLING WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD.
>> SURE. THIS IS BASED ON THE SURVEY LOOKING AT OF THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN RENTING OR PURCHASING WHAT THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOMES ARE.
>> BUT YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD.
>> YOU HAVE THE AFFORDABILITY IS BASED ON THEM NOT PAY MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF THEIR INCOME TOWARDS HOUSING.
>> OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE GIVING THE ANSWER WEREN'T SAYING, WELL I COULD AFFORD THIS.
IT WAS ME MAKING THE ASSUMPTION BASED ON A NATIONAL STANDARD OF [OVERLAPPING].
THEN LOOKING AT THE NEXT SLIDE IS JUST BRIEFLY GOING OVER OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES.
JUST THE STRONG COMMITMENT AND ALIGNMENT FROM TOP DOWN WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION.
LAND IS HIGHLIGHTED BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THAT IN MORE DETAIL HERE.
FUNDING OR FUNDING PARTNERS, OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUNDING.
I ALSO PUT THAT NEED THAT ALSO ONTO CHALLENGES BECAUSE IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF A BIG FUNDING LIFT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP SOME HOUSING THAT EMPLOYEES CAN AFFORD TO PURCHASE OR RENT.
THERE IS DEVELOPMENT EXPERTISE WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
THERE IS SOME EMPLOYEE HOUSING INVENTORY, SO A BASELINE TO START WITH UNDERSTANDING HOW PARENTAL PRODUCTS YOU'LL WANT TO JUST RUN IT WORKS.
THERE'S COMMUNITY SENTIMENT OR GOODWILL TOWARDS PROVIDING HOUSING FOR THE DISTRICT EMPLOYEES AND THEN YOU ALSO ARE WORKING ON A STRATEGIC PLAN.
CHALLENGES ARE IT TAKES SOME TIME TO DEVELOP.
BIG FUNDING LEFT, THE CONSTRUCTED ENVIRONMENT AND YOU JUST WALKED THROUGH IS VERY CHALLENGING RIGHT NOW, AND THEN THE SELECTION PROCESS TO PICK WHO HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A HOME OR RENT A [INAUDIBLE].
>> ASHLEY, CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT DEVELOPING EXPERTISE?
>> SURE. THE DISTRICT HAS EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING A LOT OF FACILITIES.
THE PROCESS TO DEVELOP FACILITIES IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROCESS TO DEVELOP HOUSING.
>> I WOULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE. I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT THOUGH.
[LAUGHTER] THE NEXT PIECE IS THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL.
THIS WAS A PIECE THAT WE LOOKED AT LAST MONTH IN THE LOOKING AT JUST THE DIFFERENT PARCELS OR PRIORITY PARCELS.
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, MUNGER MOUNTAIN AND JACKSON ELEMENTARY, AND THEN TETON VILLAGE.
WE'VE PUT IN SOME GROSS ACREAGES FOR THOSE AND ESTIMATED THE ACREAGE FOR HOUSES, AND THEN A ROUGH ESTIMATE ON NUMBER OF UNITS PER ACRE.
YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THEM BASED ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS FROM THAT ESTIMATE AND THEN BASED ON THE MODELING THAT WAS DONE.
THAT WE'VE HAD SOME JUMPS AND NUMBERS, AND ON THE JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE SCHOOL, [NOISE] PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THIS SLOPE, THAT THERE'S THE ABILITY TO ADD HEIGHT IN A DIFFERENT MANNER AND PARK IT.
THEN WE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ACREAGES AT THE JACKSON HOLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND INCREASE THE DENSITY AS WELL.
THE FIRST PARCEL THAT WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IS THE JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
I PUT THESE IN ORDER SO THAT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH THIS IS THAT, THIS IS RECOMMENDATION AT THIS POINT IS HOW TO BUILD OUT.
IT'S STARTING THAT PRIORITIZATION.
[00:55:02]
BUT THIS IS ALL VERY PRELIMINARY.I'M REALLY LOOKING FOR YOUR REACTIONS TO THIS AND THOUGHTS TO HELP US TRACK THE NEXT LEVEL.
THIS IS THE JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE SCHOOL SITE, WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE TARGET MARKET HERE IS REALLY SINGLES AND COUPLES ARE TRYING TO CAPTURE THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE WORKED FOR THE DISTRICT FOR LESS THAN FIVE YEARS TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN.
SIXTY FOUR PERCENT OF THE EMPLOYEES INTERESTED IN RENTING OR BEING AT THE DISTRICT FOR LESS THAN FIVE YEARS.
FIFTY ONE PERCENT WANTED TWO BEDROOM, 20 PERCENT WANTED ONE BEDROOM.
THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS INTERNAL RECOMMENDING STARTING WITH A RENTAL PRODUCT IS THAT, LOOKING AT THAT COST BURDEN ASPECT, IT'S PARTICULARLY ACUTE WITH THE NEW EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE WORKED FOR UP TO FIVE YEARS.
OVER 63 PERCENT ARE COST BURDENED, WHICH MEANS PAYING MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF THEIR INCOME TOWARDS HOUSING, AND THEN 29 PERCENT ARE SEVERELY COST BURDEN.
THAT TERM MEANS ARE PAYING OVER 50 PERCENT OF THEIR INCOME TOWARDS HOUSING, AND THAT'S A HOUSEHOLD INCOME.
LOOKING AT THE NEXT PAGE, THESE WILL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO READ.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO WALK THROUGH IT A LITTLE BIT.
>> YOU DO NOT, BUT I WILL SEND THEM TO YOU.
[LAUGHTER] THERE'S A TOTAL OF 48 UNITS IN THIS CONFIGURATION.
A COMBINATION OF 24 ONE BEDROOMS AND TWO BEDROOMS. I'LL TRY TO GIVE YOU AN ORIENTATION, IS THAT YOURSELF ARE THE BROKERS AND HAVE ORDERLINESS WOULD BE [INAUDIBLE] TO BE PLACED.
LOOKING AT THIS DIRECTION, HERE WE COULD LEGALLY BOOK TWO STORIES.
SO 12 UNITS ON ONE LEVEL, 12 UNITS ON THE SECOND LEVEL.
THEN [INAUDIBLE] AT THE TOP OF THIS BUILDING.
THIS BUILDING HAS A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY.
EACH ONE IS DESIGNED IN MARBLE, THOUGH WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MANAGE STUFF LIKE THIS INTO TWO BUILDINGS SO YOU COULD START WITH A 24 UNIT BUILDING, AND THEN BUILD ANOTHER 24 UNIT BUILDING.
THE INSPIRATION FOR THAT, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE MODULAR BUT REALLY LOOKING AT SOME REALLY SIMPLE SHAPES, SOME SIMPLE MATERIALS, THE ABILITY FOR OUTDOOR CONNECTIONS, MOVE IN AND OUT OF PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT MOVEMENT.
I THINK YOU CAN SEE HOW THE MODULES CAN BE SET IN DIFFERENT WAYS WITH DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS.
THIS IS A VERY BIG DEVELOPMENT AND WE WILL SEE THESE AGAIN.
WHY DON'T WE LOOK AT TETON VILLAGE? YOU CAN SEE IT'S A VERY LARGE PROJECT AND WITH THE FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS THAT MAKES THE SMALLEST FACES LOOK LARGER AND CREATE CONNECTIONS TO THE OUTDOORS.
THE NEXT PROPERTY IS MUNGER MOUNTAIN.
HERE THE TARGET, BECAUSE IT'S A MORE RURAL LOCATION, LOOKING AT RETAINING EMPLOYEES WITH HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, THERE ARE 48 TALL UNITS THAT ARE PROPOSED, 32 IN THE SINGLE-FAMILY CONFIGURATION AND 16 MORE THAN THE CONDO CONFIGURATION.
WE'RE GOING TO JUST SCROLL DOWN.
THIS ONE IS LOOKING AT MORE, YOU CAN SEE THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THE GREEN SPACE HERE AND THEN ON THE ENDS ARE SOME OF THE CONDOMINIUMS. REALLY WHAT THIS SHOWS ME IS THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD SOME VIABLE COMMON SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO INTERACT.
THIS IS JUST VERY BULK AND SCALE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN FIT DOWN HERE.
I THINK THEY'LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE INTEGRATION DIVERSITY AND INTEGRATING THE NEIGHBORHOOD A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THEN AS [INAUDIBLE] THIS INTERMEDIATE IN HERE IS USED BY THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS [INAUDIBLE] FOR CREATING MORE OPEN SPACE IN THAT AREA.
>> THAT'S A [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S THE ROBINSON PROPERTY TO THE WEST.
>> TO THE WEST. THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS WAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I'M ACTUALLY LEADING UP INTO BOLTZMANN, WHICH DOESN'T MIX IN COMPANY TRYING TO GET SOME ADVANTAGE OF THESE COURTYARDS WITH HOUSES PAINTED BUILT-IN AROUND IT.
[01:00:02]
ALSO THEN WE HAVE SOME SHARED PARKING AND CONFIGURATIONS TO REALLY MAXIMIZE SPACE AND DENSITY AND TO CREATE SOME OPEN SPACE WITH A LOT OF REASONS [INAUDIBLE].THIS IS A MIX OF 1, 2, AND 3 BEDROOMS. MOST OF THE UNITS ARE ATTACHED IN THAT DEVELOPMENT.
BUT YOU CAN SEE IN THE RENDERING THE HUMAN SCALE, SMALL-SCALE INTERACTION OF NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY.
THE NEXT ONE IS THE JACKSON HOLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE.
THIS IS WHERE WE EXPLORED INCREASING DENSITY, WHICH WAS SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE HEARD AT THE LAST MEETING.
IN THIS SITE, THIS WOULD BE A COMBINATION AND REALLY TARGET HOUSEHOLDS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE DISTRICT.
A TOTAL AND A COMBINATION OF RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP PRODUCT.
A TOTAL OF 212 UNITS MAKES IT 1, 2, AND 3 BEDROOMS AND AN APARTMENT CONFIGURATION, AND THEN 20 TOWN HOMES THAT WOULD [INAUDIBLE] SO YOU CAN SCROLL UP THEN.
>> YOU CAN SEE, JUST ORIENTING HERE, THIS IS BEAN STREET, THE SCHOOL THAT WENT UP UP HERE, THIS IS [INAUDIBLE] IS THAT YOU HAVE THE TOWN HALLS THAT ARE LYING IN THE STREET, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES.
ALL OF THESE ARE JUST DUPLICATED FROM THE BUILDINGS THAT COME BEFORE.
THEY'RE JUST DUPLICATED AS THE FULL MODEL OF CONSTRUCTION AS WELL.
IT IS PLATFORM PARKING, SO ALL THE PARKING IS ON THE FIRST LEVELS.
YOU CAN SEE, SCROLLING DOWN, THE INSPIRATION AND TAKING ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS INSIDE.
THIS IS A VERY INTEL, URBAN LOCATION BUT YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE STREETS SO PART OF IT IS LOOKING AT THIS PROJECT AND SEEING HOW THIS IS JUST LIKE MODULAR SYSTEM [INAUDIBLE] A LITTLE BIT IT ABROGATES THE STREET HENCE THE PARKING THAT'S UNDERNEATH.
THEY'RE CALLED MODULAR TYPE CONSTRUCTION APARTMENT BUILDING.
HAS TO MEET SOME ALTERATIONS TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE PLEASANT TO LOOK AT THAN JUST A BIG BOX.
>> [OVERLAPPING] CHRISTINE, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MODULAR, ARE YOU AWARE OF ANYBODY THAT BUILDS THESE CHUNKS I'LL CALL IT, OR PIECES? YOU ARE? GREAT.
>> YEAH. IT'S A BUDDING INDUSTRY IS WHAT I'D SAY, BUT IT'S BEEN BUDDING FOR A LONG TIME.
SO THEN FINALLY WE HAVE THE TETON VILLAGE PROPERTY.
SIMILAR TO USING THE SAME MODULARS AS WE SAW ON THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROPERTY AND APPLYING IT TO THIS APPLICATION IN A MUCH HIGHER DENSITY CONFIGURATION.
THIS TOO WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP.
A TOTAL OF 140 UNITS, 104 WOULD BE IN APARTMENTS, AND THEN 36 IN TOWN HOMES.
ONE THING TO JUST KEEP IN MIND IS THAT APARTMENTS COULD BE DEVELOPED AS CONDOMINIUMS AS WELL.
YOU COULD EITHER RENT THEM OR HAVE THE FOR-SALE PRODUCT.
WE CAN GO DOWN TO THE LOOK AT THIS.
YOU MAY HAVE RECOGNIZED IT'S NOT A GOOD MODULE UP HERE FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
BUT WE COULD [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] THE HIGHER DENSITY ON THE EXTERIOR ITEM UP IN THE MIDDLE HERE.
THIS OVERLOOKS THE VISIBLE PUBLIC.
THIS IS AN APARTMENT OWNED BY TETON VILLAGE [INAUDIBLE] ON THE SURROUNDING HERE.
FAIRLY WHOLESOME, THEY HAVE SENT WORKFORCE IN ALL THE UNIT.
TRYING TO SCALE IT DOWN TO JUST TWO-STORIES IN THIS AREA AND THEN TRY TO MOVE UP TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VIEWS TO THE EAST AND WEST, TO THE EAST AND TO THE SOUTH.
THE SCALE OF THIS, AS WELL AS THE SCALE OF THE JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, TO ME, THAT OPENS UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERING.
SO WITH THE JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL POSSIBLY PARTNERING WITH THE HOSPITAL IN THAT LOCATION.
I'D SAY HERE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY MAYBE FOR A SWIMMING POOL, SOME CLASSROOMS OR OPPORTUNITIES.
THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING TO PARTNER WITH BUSINESS OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTION ON THE PROPERTY FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES.
[01:05:05]
THEN THE INTEGRATION, JUST MORE PICTURES OF THE SAME BUT SHOWING YOU A HIGHER SCALE OF THE PROPERTY ON BRAND INSPIRATION.THIS IS THE SOCIAL HOUSING PROJECT IN DENMARK.
THEN JUST FOR NEXT STEPS, IS THAT, LOVE TO HAVE A FEEDBACK ON THIS, GUT REACTIONS, SO THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE THIS INTO FINALIZING THESE MILES AND THEN BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE COSTS TO DEVELOP ESTIMATES AND PRIORITIZATION.
>> ANYBODY HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR CHRISTINE BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE JUST SEEN?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THANK YOU. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE TETON VILLAGE AND JACKSON SITE PLANS? THOSE HAVE GARAGES UNDERNEATH, IS THAT RIGHT?
>> YEAH. IT'S SLAB-ON-GRADE PODIUM PARKING.
>> HOW DO YOU GET TO THOSE? BECAUSE I JUST SEE GRASS.
>> YEAH. IT'S A [INAUDIBLE] SCALE SO WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ITSELF, BUT WHAT'S ENVISIONED IS A LOT OF GOING,OFFERING ROOM GROWTH HERE, IN THE END IT'S DOUBLE TWO WAYS AND PARKING LOT.
ON THE END, THERE'S SOME LANE [INAUDIBLE] THIS IS SURFACE PARKING AND GARAGES FOR THESE PARENTS.
>> OKAY. IF IT'S BULK AND SCALING, DOES THAT GO ALL THE WAY UP TO THE PROPERTY LINE, OR IS THE PROPERTY LINE BIGGER THAN THAT [OVERLAPPING] TO MAKE SURE WE'RE BEING REALISTIC?
>> YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO BECAUSE IT'S STARTS IN THIS AREA HERE, END UP IN HERE.
ESPECIALLY IN HERE, ONTO THE NEIGHBORS THERE.
>> YEAH. THEN THE SAME FOR THE JACKSON SITE PLAN, IT SEEMED LIKE THERE'S NO ACCESS TO GET TO THOSE INTERIOR, AS OF ALL NOT [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU CAN SEE FINALLY, SOME OF THE ACCESSES.
>> RIGHT. SO TO GET TO THOSE APARTMENTS IN THE MIDDLE, I SEE GREEN SPACE, BUT IS THAT ALL PAVED? HOW DO YOU GET TO THOSE?
>> IT WOULD BE GREEN SPACE, BUT IT'S ELEVATED.
SO YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE GRASS.
YOU DRIVE THE BASEMENT, YOU WOULD COME INTO THE BUILDING.
>> [OVERLAPPING] SO IT'S UNDERGROUND PARKING?
>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT UNDERGROUND PARKING?
>> [OVERLAPPING] THAT WAS UNDERGROUND BECAUSE IT'S SURFACE.
BUT IT'S DRILLING THERE SUPPORT FOR THE PARKING SPACE.
>> OKAY. I SEE GREEN SO I THINK GRASS BUT YOU'RE SEEING NOT ALL PAVEMENT AND DRY RILES.
>> NO, IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE GRASS BUT IT WOULD BE LIKE A GREEN ROOF.
>> IT'S A SECOND FLOOR IN THIS CASE.
>> HOW DO YOU GET TO YOUR GARAGE? WHERE'S THE ROAD TO GET TO THE GARAGE?
>> I UNDERSTAND ONE'S ON THE EDGE, BUT IN THE MIDDLE. YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
>> YEAH. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
[LAUGHTER] YEAH, THERE WOULD BE SOME OF THAT EXCESS STUFF.
>> I UNDERSTAND GARAGE UNDERNEATH.
I DON'T SEE HOW YOU'LL ACTUALLY GET THERE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> I'VE SEEN THAT DRIVE THROUGH.
>> YES, CERTAINLY IN ROAD VILLAGES. [OVERLAPPING]
>> THOSE ARE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE.
I DON'T SEE A WAY TO GET A CAR INTO THOSE MIDDLE BUILDINGS.
[OVERLAPPING] I JUST WANT TO CHECK ON HOW IS THIS MADE.
YEAH, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE GARAGE IS UNDERNEATH.
>> THE GARAGE IS UNDERNEATH THE GREEN SPACE, THE GARAGE IS UNDERNEATH THE BUILDINGS.
>> THE WHOLE THING. GOT YOU. [OVERLAPPING]
>> [OVERLAPPING] SO THERE YOU HAVE A CLEVER BASE FROM THE GARAGE TO THE UNIT. [BACKGROUND]
>> OKAY. SO THERE'S GREEN SPACE ON THE ROOF?
>> I ALMOST INCLUDED A PICTURE OF IT, BUT I DIDN'T.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE IN TOWN, PEOPLE ARE BUILDING [NOISE] THREE-STOREY.
IS THIS THREE-STOREY GOING TO INCLUDE A PARKING SPACE UNDERNEATH?
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MY SUGGESTION IS, WE HAVE TO DECIDE A PRIORITY HERE.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD OPTIONS HERE, BUT THERE'S NO CONCEIVABLE WAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO UNDERTAKE.
[01:10:02]
>> [LAUGHTER] WHAT SHOULD BE OUR FIRST FOCUS?
>> MRS. TESKE, I THINK, SINCE MOST OF THE TEACHERS, MOST OF THE SURVEYS SHOW THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO BE IN TOWN THAT WOULD BE RIGHT THERE, AND WHILE THE OTHERS ARE AWESOME.
IT SEEMS NOW LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE.
>> OTHER THOUGHT? YES, MR. BRUMSTED?
>> YES. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE PIECE ON THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, IF THE CURRENT RATE AT WHICH THINGS ARE BUILDING OUT A LOT OF STUFF CURRENTLY THERE.
IF WE WERE TO ALSO BUILD OUT OF LAWN, THAT PART WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S GOING ON, SO THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE THAT I WOULD PUT IN FOR MAINTENANCE.
>> [BACKGROUND] CHRISTINE, I'M NOT SURE THIS WAS THE MEETING YOU WANTED US TO START NARROWING DOWN PROPERTIES, BUT WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHTS ON NEXT STEPS? [OVERLAPPING] IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR US TO GIVE YOU SOME DIRECTIONS?
>> ARE WE ALL FROM ONE CONSENSUS? I THINK, I'M A LITTLE BIT WITH ALAN.
I LIKE THE MIDDLE SCHOOL 1, BUT I THINK WE ARE IN CONSENSUS.
EITHER THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, JACKSON ELEMENTARY, OR BOTH, BUT WE'RE BEING ON THE TWO TOWN SITES.
>> [OVERLAPPING] I AGREE. BUT I ALSO THINK, [INAUDIBLE] THE STATEMENT THAT, IT ISN'T LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS ENTIRE THING AT ONCE.
BUT IF YOU DID A PORTION HERE AND A PORTION THERE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK OUT THROUGH TIME WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FINAL BILL, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT AS BEING [INAUDIBLE] PIECE NEAR JACKSON HOLE BEEN CREATED ONCE.
>> BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, DOES ANYONE WANT CHRISTINE TO SPEND ANY MORE TIME LOOKING AT MONGER OR NISSAN VILLAGE?
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I KNOW THIS CAN BE A SHOCK TO SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD WITH ME FOR AWHILE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SEWER.
>> I HAD A SEWER CONNECTIONS AND OUR ABILITY TO CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY.
ANYTHING BUT LONGER, WHERE I THINK IF WE'RE INTO SPEED, I THINK WORKERS WERE OUT FOR US.
WE KNOW ABOUT MONGER BECAUSE WE CONTROL THE HOTLINE.
I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HOOPS WERE GOING TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH ONCE THE TOWN LOOK INTO ADDITIONAL SEWER LINES.
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THEM OFF THE TABLE QUITE YET.
BUT IF WE FEEL WE HAVE SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH THE HOOPS TO GET THE APPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS, THE WATER AND SEWERS, SHOULD MOVE FORWARD.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FEELINGS TOWARD BUILD? YOU CAN CROSS TETON BUILD.
>> WHAT THAT LEAVES A MONGER, MIDDLE-SCHOOL, JACKSON ELEMENTARY. IS THERE ANOTHER ONE?
>> THAT'S GOOD. JUST GO THROUGH, THERE IS SOME TROUBLE.
I JUST HAD ONE COMMENT BECAUSE THAT MY INCLINATION IS TO GO TOWARDS THE TOWN, BUT OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL, BUT ALSO, MAYBE WEIGH IN POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS IN WHERE THAT COULD HAPPEN.
CERTAINLY, WE COULD PROBABLY FILL UP MOST OF BUILD WOULD.
[NOISE] BUT IF THERE'S A POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS AND WE CAN USE OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPERTISE AND FINANCES, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> I ALSO THINKING, JENNIFER, I'M ROLLING DOUBLES ON A NEWER AREA ABOUT [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] LIKE JUST THE DENSITY CREATE A LESS EXPENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE THAN DOING A MONGER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> THAT LOOK LIKE NOT NECESSARY.
I MEAN, BUILDING WHAT IS SHOWN HERE WITH THAT PODIUM PARKING, THAT'S EXPENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE.
I MEAN, THERE'S AN OPTION TO DO SURFACE PARKING, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO CUT IT INTO ABOUT HALF OF WHAT YOU CAN BUILD.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO CUT THIS TO WORK?
>> IF WE HAVE TO BUILD SURFACE PARKING AND THAT HAVE IT BE UNDER.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE UP ABOUT HALF THE SITE.
>> MR. CHAIR, MS. CHRISTINE, I WAS JUST WONDERING,
[01:15:01]
IS THEIR SAVINGS TO BE HAD BY RATHER THAN HAVING SIX INDEPENDENT BUILDINGS MAKING ONE BUILDING? [INAUDIBLE] OR CONSTRUCTION TO JUST HAVE ONE SET OF BUILDINGS RATHER THAN FOUR SETS OF BUILDINGS OR SIX SETS OF BUILDING.>> IT SHOULD WORK. WHAT WE TRYING TO DO WITH THIS IS REPLICATE THE BUILDING.
SOME PART OF THE BUILDING AT THE SITE BEING STOPPED, PROBABLY THE [INAUDIBLE]
>> IF THINGS GO THE LIGHT INNER TO DO IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> WELL, THIS WAS A CONFIGURATION THAT ARE THE MAXIMUM OF THE DATA TO BE [INAUDIBLE] DO.
>> CHRISTINE, I'D SAY I REALLY APPRECIATE BECAUSE I ENJOY EACH MEETING.
I FEEL LIKE YOU BUILD EACH TIME, LIKE THIS MEETING WE LEARN THIS PART AND THEN THEY LEARN THE NEXT TIME.
YOU'RE GOOD ABOUT GOING BACK AND REMINDING US, REMEMBER WE'VE ALREADY BUILT ALL OF THESE PARTS AND YOU BUILD UPON WHAT WE LEARNED LAST TIME.
I'M SURE THIS ISN'T THE DESIGN, BUT IT'S FUN TO SEE WHAT COULD FIT SOMEPLACE AND SEE THE BALKAN SCALE THAT CAN FIT SOMEPLACE.
WHAT IS OUR NEXT STEP? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO NEXT?
>> SURE. THE NEXT STEP IS GOING TO BE REFINING THE THREE NOW, BALKAN SCALE.
I'M JUST CURIOUS IF YOU WANT SOMETHING OR THE JACKSONVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ASIDE THAT.
>> I THINK FOR BUDGET REASONS IT MIGHT BE GOOD.
IT'S PUTTING A DOLLAR SIGN TO THIS.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THESE ARE GOING TO COST AND THE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE BECAUSE THAT WILL HELP WITH SOME OF YOUR DECISION-MAKING.
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I BRING IS TO SET IT UP SO YOU CAN SEIZE THE CONSTRUCTION SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUILD UP THIS ENTIRE THING AT ONCE.
THEN ALSO LOOKING AT SOME PARTNERSHIPS TO HELP WITH BRINGING SOME FINANCING, REDUCING THE DISTRICT'S RISK.
>> MR. CHAIR, CHRISTINE, THE NEW BUILDINGS THAT ARE NEXT THE [INAUDIBLE] APARTMENT BUILDINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE, THEY USED SURFACE PARKING, BUT THEY ARE THREE LEVELS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S SAVINGS AROUND THAT KNOWING NOW THAT WE HAVE WITH FIRM.
>> I TO EVERY I THINK [OVERLAPPING]. MEAD, IT'S INTERESTING.
>> WE HAVE BROUGHT US THE FIRST [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEY DO HAVE SURFACE TOO FOR VISITORS, BUT FOR THE TENANTS, THEY GO INSIDE THE GARAGE.
>> BUT I THINK THE OPTION OF HAVING SURFACE ACCESS TO YOUR UNDERGROUND OR YOUR FIRST FLOOR PARKING WOULD BE MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THIS, WHICH IS YOU'RE BASICALLY BUILDING UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE AND ON TOP OF IT TO CREATE MORE SPACE, WHICH IS NOT IF NICE NOT, DOESN'T IT?
>> YES. THE ISSUE THAT'S A CHALLENGE FOR PARTIAL BUSH WAS OUR BIGGEST [INAUDIBLE] LONGER, SO GOOD AT IT.
>> THIS IS FIVE. [OVERLAPPING] MR. CHAIR, JUST TO GO ON TO THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE REFINING THIS, CONCERNING PUTTING SOME DOLLARS TO THEM, AND THEN PRIORITIZING.
>> OKAY. THEN WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT MONTH THEN?
>> YEAH. YOU'LL SEE ME NEXT MONTH AND I'LL GET TO YOU EARLIER [LAUGHTER]
>> CAN YOU SHARE JUST THOSE SLIDES?
>> THE LAST THING WE HAVE ON HERE IS PRIORITIZING PROJECTS FOR SUBMISSION FOR THE REC DISTRICT AND THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE THAT WAS REALLY BUILDING A QUICK CHATTING.
WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT, SHOULD WE HAVE A LONGER TALK ABOUT THE REC DISTRICT AND HOW REC DISTRICT IS OPERATING.
TRUSTEE SCARLETT SHARED THAT TRUSTEE MEADE YOU HAD SOME IDEAS.
I THOUGHT TONIGHT WOULD BE A NICE NIGHT TO HEAR FROM SOME BOARD MEMBERS AS THE THOUGHT SHE MAY HAVE ON THE REC DISTRICT WAYS WE COULD MAYBE IMPROVE IT.
ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT I WAS BANDING ABOUT FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT POINT OF VIEW IS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE NOT A PRIORITY LIST YET, IT'S WRITTEN IN STONE, BUT SOMETHING THAT WOULD GUIDE US, THAT WE'RE NOT JUST ARBITRARILY EACH YEAR OR JUST WHATEVER THE PRINCIPALS WANT, WE THROW ON THE LIST.
[01:20:01]
I GOT SOME OF THIS FROM TALKING WITH THE CHAIRWOMAN OF LARAMIE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.THAT'S THEIR NUMBER 1 PRIORITY, THAT THEY USE THE REC DISTRICT MONEY FOR.
PLAYGROUNDS COME FIRST AND FOREMOST.
THEY MAKE SURE THEIR PLAYGROUNDS ARE MAINTAINED.
THEY MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED OR NEW PLAYGROUNDS NEED TO BE BUILT, THAT'S THE FIRST THING THE REC DISTRICT PAYS FOR.
THEN THEY HAVE A LIST OF THINGS.
MOST OF THEM ARE RELATED TO RECREATION TO THAT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH A LIST, ESPECIALLY NOT TONIGHT.
THIS WAS MORE JUST PRELIMINARILY BRINGING UP THE TOPIC OF A PRIORITIZATION LIST, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO HOPEFULLY HEAR OF THE TRUSTEE NEED ON SOME OF YOUR IDEAS ON THINGS WE COULD DO TO IMPROVE THE REC DISTRICT.
THEY DID INCLUDE FOR EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT WAS THE APPLICATION FROM LAST YEAR. YOU CAN SEE.
ALSO DEANNA DID A BIG JOB WITH THE PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENT.
THEY BROUGHT SOME PEOPLE IN, LOOKED OVER OUR PLAYGROUND AND SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO OUR PLAYGROUNDS ALREADY.
BUT THIS WAS MORE OF JUST BRINGING UP THE TOPIC.
WE CAN AT LEAST START THE CONVERSATION.
WE DON'T ACTUALLY EVEN HAVE TO COMPLETE THIS.
IT WAS JUST AN IDEA THAT MAYBE FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD'S POINT OF VIEW, THAT BEFORE WE SUBMIT TO THE REC DISTRICT, THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE A CONCEPT OF WHAT WE WANT TO SUBMIT.
WITH THAT SAID, TRUSTEE MEADE, DID YOU WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING?
>> YEAH. I WISH I HAD BROUGHT MY NOTES.
IF YOU LOOK AT HOW THE REC DISTRICTS ARE TREATED ACROSS THE STATE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT EXAMPLES.
THERE IS A COUPLE OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH THEIR REC DISTRICTS THAT IT'S ONLY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE ON THE REC DISTRICT BOARD.
OTHERS HAVE, LIKE WE DO, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ON REC DISTRICT BOARD AS WELL.
SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE DRAWN A LINE AT WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE TAX BROUGHT IN BY THE REC DISTRICT THROUGH BONDS TO ANY NON-SCHOOL DISTRICT ACTIVITY.
ONE OF THE EXAMPLES WAS ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS 18 PERCENT.
THE REST SCHOOL DISTRICT 1 WAS 70, 30.
THAT WOULD BE A DECISION THAT REALLY THIS BOARD WOULD NEED TO MAKE RATHER THAN THE REC DISTRICT BOARD.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY KEEN TO GET STARTED ON THE BRONX ACHIEVEMENTS, AND I WANT TO SAY ATHLETICS ACHIEVEMENTS THERE.
ONE [INAUDIBLE] BRINGS IN $2,150,000 [INAUDIBLE] WE CAN MAKE A START ON THAT PROJECT BY USING REC DISTRICT FUNDS, THE MAJORITY OF THAT TO MEND OTHERS, TO GET MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF BUILDING FIELD PATHS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PLUS, OBVIOUSLY WE ALL KNOW HAVING BUILT SCHOOLS, THAT THE COSTS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS, ALL THAT STUFF AT THE BEGINNING IS REALLY STEEP AND WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY NOW IN HAND TO JUST START THAT BUILDING.
THIS IS ASSUMING WE HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT WE CAN END UP WITH THE MONEY TO BUILD IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN FLOAT REVENUE BONDS.
IT'S DIFFERENT BOARD EVERY YEAR.
I DON'T KNOW THE INTRICACIES OF THAT.
BUT IT SEEMS THAT RATHER THAN THE LIST THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS GIVEN US, AND THIS IS NO CRITICISM TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IF YOU ARE WITH ME, THERE ARE THINGS LIKE SUMMER SCHOOL.
NOW, THAT CLEARLY IS AN ARC NUMBER THAT WE COULD HAVE OUR PAPER THAT AT LEAST IN THAT NEXT 2-3 YEARS WHILE WE'RE STILL SPENDING ARC FUNDS IN MANY OTHER THINGS, INCLUDING AN AMOUNT PER STUDENT THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS NOW ASKING FROM THE REC DISTRICT TO PAY FOR.
IF WE CONSOLIDATE THOSE FUNDS IN ONE PLACE AND USE IT TO GET MOVING ON THE BRONX ACHIEVEMENT CENTER.
IT JUST SEEMS TO ME LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO START ON THAT PROJECT.
I HAVE BEEN UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HOW
[01:25:03]
THE REC DISTRICT BOARD CURRENTLY GIVES OUT MONEY TO NON-PROFIT.BASICALLY, IF YOU COME IN THE DOOR AND YOU ASK FOR $5,000, WE GIVE IT TO YOU.
IT'S REALLY BEEN DIFFICULT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T REALLY LOOK AT ONE VERSUS AN APPLICATION AND SAY, NO, WE'RE NOT GIVING THE MONEY TO YOU, BUT GIVING THE MONEY TO YOU.
IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE USE OF TAXPAYER MONEY, WHICH IS I THINK SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC.
I'M GLAD WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE I THINK WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING WITH THESE REC DISTRICT FUNDS BECAUSE AS TUTORS ASSESS, THE VALUE GOES UP, THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE MONEY.
SHOULD WE MAYBE BE GIVING IT ALL TO THE COMMUNITY? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO, BUT I THINK THERE ARE PARAMETERS WE CAN PUT GUIDEPOSTS ON IT SO THAT THOSE OF US WHO ARE ON THE REC DISTRICT BOARD CAN FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT JUST PARTYING WITH TAXPAYER MONEY WITHOUT MUCH GUIDANCE.
THAT'S MY SUGGESTION. PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE HAVE USED IT FOR ALL SORTS OF THINGS.
BILL POINTED OUT THAT IN JULET, THEY HAVE A SCHOOL REC DISTRICT AND THEN THEY HAVE A REC DISTRICT REC DISTRICT.
THEIR COUNTY REC DISTRICT ASSESSES THEIR MILL TOO AND THEY COMBINE TO USE THAT TO BUILD THEIR PALACE OF ATHLETIC FACILITY [LAUGHTER] WELL, I THINK IT'S A PALACE COMPARED TO OURS [LAUGHTER].
>> THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT WAY TOO.
I DON'T THINK WE'LL EVER GET HOW MANY REC DISTRICT TO SET AROUND AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT WHILE WE'RE CONTEMPLATING HOW TO USE THIS, WE COULD USE VERY NEARLY FOLLOW THAT DISTRICT MONEY TO GET STARTED ON A BUILDING THAT IS CLEARLY WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF WHAT THE REC DISTRICT STATUE IS FOR, INCLUDING PAYING FOR THE MANAGER RUNNING THEM.
THAT'S JUST MY TWO CENTS ABOUT THE REC DISTRICT FUNDS.
I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT WE ALL THINK ABOUT HOW IT SHOULD BE.
>> JUST REMINDER CLARIFICATION.
IS OUR REC DISTRICT, A SCHOOL REC DISTRICT OR IS IT A COUNTY REC? [OVERLAPPING]
>> IT'S A SCHOOL REC DISTRICT.
>> THIS CONVERSATION, IT FEELS MORE APPROPRIATE HERE VERSUS WITH THE REC DISTRICT BOARD THAT HAS SOME LARGE NUMBERS.
>> [OVERLAPPING] YEAH BECAUSE I MEAN, YOUR CONCERN THOUGH IS HOW WE'RE USING TAXPAYER MONEY.
I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IS IT MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BOARD THAT HAS SOME TIME, NUMBERS THAT ARE LARGE, THAT CAN REPRESENT THE TAXPAYERS?
>>YEAH, NO WE ARE IN CONTROL, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS CLEARLY IN CONTROL OF THIS.
>> IT'S A WEIRD SET BUT THAT'S HOW IT STARTED UP STATUTORY ORIGIN.
>> IT'S AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
MR. CHAIRMAN, THE BYLAWS THAT CONTROL THE REGISTRY BOARD ARE CONTROLLED BY THIS BOARD.
>> I'VE BEEN ON REC DISTRICT BOARD AND TRUST ME, KARLAN, MAN BEEN TOGETHER ON THIS BOARD SINCE THE GET-GO AND SINCE WE FIRST GOT ELECTED.
I THINK TRUSTING ME JOINED US TWO YEARS LATER.
>> WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES ARISING ALL THE TIME AND I KEEP WONDERING IF SINCE WE CONTROL THE BYLAWS IF WE WANT TO REVISIT THE BYLAWS AND MAKE IT A SUBSET OF THIS BOARD, WHERE WE EXCUSE OURSELVES FROM A REGULAR MEETING AND GO INTO A REC DISTRICT MEETING FOUR TIMES A YEAR TO DEAL WITH ISSUES LIKE TRUSTING MEANS.
>> YOU GUYS EVER SEEN THAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET AS THE SCENIC PRESERVE TRUST BOARD.
THEY'LL LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR MEETING, THEY'LL BE AT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETING.
[OVERLAPPING] WELL, I MOVE TO ADJOURN INTO THE SCENIC PRESERVED TRUST BOARD.
SUDDENLY THEY'RE SITTING THERE AS THE SCENIC PRESERVE TRUST BOARD.
THEY VOTE ON SOME CONSERVATION EASEMENT AND THEN THEY MOVE TO ADJOURN BACK INTO THEIR REGULAR MEETINGS.
I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS MORE OF SARAH QUESTION IF WE'D HAVE TO ASK AROUND THE STATE.
IT'D BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THE REC DISTRICT BOARD CAN BE THE SCHOOL BOARD.
ALL OF US WOULD BE THE MEMBERS OF THE REC DISTRICT BOARD.
THEN WE'RE VOTING ON REC DISTRICT STUFF, WE WOULD JUST, IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF OUR MEETINGS, ADJOURN INTO THE REC DISTRICT BOARD, VOTE ON WHENEVER NEED TO VOTE FOR, AND NOT HAVE TO HAVE THAT LARGE, ALL OF US WOULD BE ON THE BOARD,
[01:30:02]
WE'D ALL VOTE ON.IS THAT'S WHAT YOU HAD GOING ON?
>> YEAH, I THINK MAYBE IT'S NATRON THAT DOES THAT.
>> SOMEBODY DOES. [OVERLAPPING].
>> I THINK CAMPBELL LIKES TO, NO?
>> I THINK THEY MAY BE STUCK, THAT'S RIGHT.
BUT I CAN LOOK AT THAT FOR SURE IF SARAH IS STILL DOING SOME WORK ON IT.
BUT IF SOMEBODY IS ALREADY DOING IT, I SUPPOSE YOU CAN JUST FOLLOW UP ALI.
>> WELL, LET'S GO BACK IN HISTORY.
OKAY. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHY IT EXISTS.
WHY DOES THE REC DISTRICT EXIST? THE REC DISTRICT WAS PUT IN PLACE, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE YEAR TO BE ABLE TO GENERATE $300,000 TO PUTTING INTO A RESERVE ACCOUNT FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE GYM OF DAVID JACKSON THAT WAS BOUGHT WITH SPENT MONEY.
THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF IT.
TO THAT POINT KATE, I AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY ON THIS WHOLE THING.
I'M PLAYING SANTA CLAUS TO NON-PROFITS AROUND IN THE COMMUNITY.
THAT MAKES ME REALLY ILL AT EASE THAT YOU'RE USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO DO THAT.
I'VE SAID THAT TO SARAH FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I'M WITH YOU.
I THINK THAT I LIKE BOTH OF THE CONCEPTS, WHETHER THE REC DISTRICT JUST A SUBSET OF THIS BOARD AND I LIKE YOUR CONCEPT OF FINDING A WAY TO ALSO SEE AT LEAST THE EXPLORATION WORK OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS SOONER.
>> WHEN YOU'RE SAYING THAT ACHIEVEMENTS, YOU MET LIKE WE COULD USE THAT TO HIRE THE ARCHITECT, TO COME DESIGN THE EXACT STRUCTURE, BUT ALL AT PRELIMINARY WORK.
ALL IT DOES TALK A LOT OF MONEY.
[OVERLAPPING] I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO GIVE UP ON THE IDEA.
I KNOW MOST OF YOU I'M SAYING THAT, BECAUSE IT MAKES ME MAD THAT STATES IGNORES TO DOWNTOWN.
THEY REALLY NEED TO STEP UP TO PAY FOR SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.
I HATE TO HAVE US LET THEM OFF THE HOOK BASICALLY.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, THE OTHER ELEMENT IS BUT TAX AND I WAS REALLY NERVOUS WHEN THEY SAID THAT THE FAIRGROUNDS IS GOING OVER $30 MILLION.
[LAUGHTER] NOT GREATER THAN IT SOUNDS.
>> I THINK I'M SO HAPPY THAT GILLIAN WROTE THAT LETTER TO THEM AND YOU SENT OUT SOME GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.
BUT IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE YEAH, WE COULD I THINK BILL'S POINT IS WELL TAKEN THAT IF WE MAKE THIS INTO ANOTHER SCHOOL BOARD FUNCTION, THAT THEN WE'D ALL BE WORKING FROM THE SAME SET OF PLUG-INS BASICALLY, INSTEAD OF HAVING A SEPARATE BOARD.
I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE FELT OUT THERE.
WHEN I STARTED LOOKING AT THE STUFF, I WAS LIKE, HOLY NO GIRL, WE'RE GIVING MONEY FOR THIS STUFF? BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO CUT.
THAT'S BEEN DIFFICULT I THINK FOR ANYBODY ON BOARD WHO'S BEEN ON THAT BOARD.
>> WHEN I THINK ABOUT GRANTING PROCESS, A LOT OF THOSE $5,000 GRANTS ARE GOING TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT DO REALLY SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT THE STUDENTS.
THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS THAT'S REALLY EASY TO SAY, YEAH I'M GOING TO DO THAT.
THERE ARE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT IT'S MAYBE NOT SO EASY TO SAY THAT, BUT THERE'S NO REASON TO SAY NO IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, BECAUSE MAYBE IT'S A SUPER SIMPLE APPLICATION.
AS LONG AS YOU CHECK THE BOXES, YOU GET THE GRANT MONEY.
THE REC DISTRICT BOARD, AND THAT'S WHAT THE FUNCTION WAS.
I MEAN TO GIVE OUT THOSE GRANTS AND SO IT'S TAKEN ME UP ON WHILE TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A SHIFT IN THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I FELT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
[LAUGHTER] THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE BOARD MEMBER ON THE BOARD. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
I CERTAINLY CAN SEE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT OVER, AS THE SCHOOL BOARD, I THINK THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GREAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON THE BOARD, SO THAT WOULD BE DISAPPOINTING.
JUST BECAUSE I THINK THEY'VE GOT GREAT INSIGHT AND IT'S CONTRIBUTING.
I ALSO THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE IT HELP ON THE ACHIEVEMENT CENTER BECAUSE THE ACHIEVEMENT CENTER, I MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT FUNCTION OF SCHOOL DISTRICT.
BUT ACCORDING TO ALL THE LETTERS WE'RE GETTING, IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW IT'S GOING TO INCREASE ACADEMICS, IT'S HOW IT'S GOING TO INCREASE ACCESS TO RECREATION FOR THE PUBLIC AND
[01:35:05]
SO MAYBE IT'S A GOOD USE OF THE TAX PAYER PART. YEAH.>> I GUESS IN THAT IDEA BRINGING INTO THE BOARD ITSELF WOULD GIVE IN A WAY GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS OF WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON AND WHAT THE DIFFICULTIES ARE.
BECAUSE I CAN SIT HERE AND LISTEN TO THIS BUT NEVER HAVING BEEN ON A REC DISTRICT BOARD.
IT'S LIKE, WELL, YEAH, IT'S OBVIOUS FROM THE DISCUSSION THAT THERE IS ISSUES WITH HOW IT'S RUNNING RIGHT NOW.
THERE MAY BE WAYS TO IMPROVE THAT.
>> WELL, I DIDN'T WANT TO ADD SOMETHING, WE HAVE A LOT TO GET THROUGH TONIGHT.
[OVERLAPPING] I THINK JUST, DON'T THINK SO.
>> JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION. THERE'S ONE THING I WANTED TO BRING UP WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE REC DISTRICT, THIS POSSIBILITY OF FUTURE POTENTIAL FUNDING OR UNDER FACET WILSON.
>> [OVERLAPPING] BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THAT'S HOW THE UNDERPASS AT MUNGER MOUNTAIN WAS FOUNDED AND SO I GUESS JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE AS WE LOOK AT HOW TO INCREASE SAFETY AROUND WILSON AND CONNECTING TO THE PATHWAY THAT IS GOING TO GO IN ON SOUTH SIDE.
HOPEFULLY, THAT FITS INTO THIS DISCUSSION AND FUTURE FUNDING.
>> FOR THOSE WITH NO WHITE-OUT.
IT'S OFFERED UP 400 GRAND FOR THE TUNNEL.
I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT US TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY FUNDS TO HELP WITH THAT TUNNEL. IT WILL BE A TUNNEL.
HRH SEAT AND LANES ON THE SOUTH SIDE, HRH WHERE THE WILSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS AND POTENTIALLY THERE'D BE A TUNNEL THERE.
IF YOU REMEMBER, WE HAD A LONG CONVERSATION, I SHOULDN'T SAY LONG.
WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH CAMILLE.
SHE HAD AN ISSUE WITH HER CHILD WHO TRIED TO CROSS THERE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS GOING ON BUT I WOULD SEE TUNNELS AS BITES [OVERLAPPING] YEAH.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN ONE THING I REMEMBERED.
THE MONEY FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR IS UNALLOCATED.
WE WILL GO THROUGH AN ALLOCATION PROCESS THIS FALL AND THEN WE WON'T SEE THE FIRST DISPERSED MONTHS UNTIL, I'M LOOKING AT THE BUDGET LADY OVER THERE, UNTIL [OVERLAPPING]
>> COLLECTIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 22 VERSUS WHERE WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
WE RECEIVE IT AS THE TAX DOLLARS COME IN, SO WE PERCEIVE IT USUALLY ABOUT NOVEMBER, DECEMBER THE REMAINING IN JUNE, SO ANY ALLOCATION THAT WERE DUE LAST SPRING WILL BE FULLY PAID OUT RIGHT THIS FRAME.
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALLOCATING DOLLARS FOR PROJECTS.
WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT IN FINANCE COMMITTEE.
IF WE CAN SET ASIDE ANY MONEY SIMILAR TO THE WAY THAT WE DID FOR THE TURF, AND THOSE ARE ALL PROJECTS.
BUT REMEMBER WHEN WE SET ASIDE MONEY AND WE BUILD THAT INTO THAT APPLICATION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THAT MONEY IS THEN DIRECTED INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND HELD IN SCHOOL DISTRICT ACCOUNTS, NOT IN REC DISTRICT RESERVES.
>> WE SORT OF BROUGHT THREE DIFFERENT TOPICS AND [LAUGHTER] SO MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT SOME MORE AT THE NEXT MEETING.
BUT THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR, JUST A PLENARY DISCUSSION JUST TO GET OUR IDEAS OUT ON THE TABLE.
THE THREE DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT I SORT OF HEARD WAS CHANGING GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE OF THE REC DISTRICT.
MAYBE SARAH COULD LOOK INTO THAT TO SEE IF THAT'S EVEN A POSSIBILITY.
NUMBER 2 WAS THE IDEA THAT I RAISED INITIALLY ON THE SUBMITTALS THAT ARE COMING FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD TO THE REC DISTRICT.
IF WE COULD PRIORITIZE THOSE INTERNALLY THAT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING THE SCHOOL BOARD CONTROLS.
MY PREFERENCE WAS TO PRIORITIZE PLAYGROUNDS, BUT THAT'S JUST THE THOUGHT OUT THERE.
THEN THE THIRD ISSUE THAT WE BROUGHT UP WAS, SHOULD WE SUGGEST OR RECOMMEND OR IT SOUNDS LIKE IF IN TRUSTING ME THAT MAYBE WE CAN TELL THE REC DISTRICT, HEY, WE'D LIKE SOME RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT TO NGOS AND ORGANIZATIONS OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WHETHER THAT'S TO SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THOSE TYPES OF GRANTS OR AS A TRUSTEE BILL WAS HIKING UP AS SOME DISTRICTS DO A PERCENTAGE THAT WE SAY WE ONLY DO UP TO THIS AMOUNT FOR OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION.
THREE DIFFERENT TOPICS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO EXPLORE AND MAYBE WE CAN COME BACK NEXT MONTH AND DISCUSS FURTHER.
[01:40:03]
ANYTHING FURTHER ON THAT TOPIC? SEEING NONE, LET'S TAKE A BREAK AND COME RIGHT BACK AT QUARTER TO.[G. Action Items]
[01:45:37]
>> WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ACTIONIZING.
I THINK [NOISE] WITH ACTIONIZING THERE'S CONSIDERATION OF 2022 BOARD MEETINGS SCHEDULED.
ALL OF YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF IT, ONE OF YOU I THINK, HAVE GOT THE END OF IT ALL.
THE ONES IN RED ARE THE ONES THAT ARE UNIQUE, AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHY ARE THOSE ONES UNIQUE?
>> I BELIEVE THE SPECIAL MEETING, JANUARY 18TH.
>> APRIL, [NOISE] EXCUSE ME. IT'S VERY LATTE.
>> IT'S BETTER TO GIVE US A WEEK, AND THEN MAY, AND THEN JULY 20TH IS WHEN THE ANNUAL BUDGET CREW IS.
THAT CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY AROUND THE MONTH OF JULY, WE PUT IT ON JULY 20TH BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THIS PAST JULY.
>>WHAT DID WE BRING IN THIS PAST JULY.
>>THIS SEMESTER [BACKGROUND] WE HAD A REALLY EARLY, WHICH WAS CHALLENGING WITH 4TH OF JULY AND THEN IT GIVES US TIME TO GET THE YEAR END CLOSE.
>> ANYONE HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF THOSE DATES? WE COULD ALTERNATE THEM [LAUGHTER].
NORMALLY, WE MEET THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT ARE [LAUGHTER] MANAGEMENT [NOISE].
IF THERE'S NO QUESTIONS, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON, I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I MADE A PRINT OF THE 2022 BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE AS PRESENTED.
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRUSTEE SCARLETT, SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN TO APPROVE THE 2022 BOARD MEETINGS SCHEDULE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED. GROUND PASSES.
>> WE'RE UP TO THE SECOND READING OF POLICIES.
WE HAVE THE JLCC INFECTIOUS DISEASE, WE HAVE THE IHBAER, WITH THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT REGULATION, AND THE IHBAC SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING OPTIONS AND OVERSIGHT.
IF YOU WANT TO REMIND US OF THESE.
>> TRUSTEES FEES, WERE REVISIONS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION AND THESE WERE FIRST BROUGHT FORWARD IN OCTOBER.
WE HAD NOT HAD ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OR CHANGES SINCE UNIVERSALLY, BUT THEN AFTERWARDS, THOSE THREE.
>> ANY DISCUSSION, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ANY OF THESE POLICIES, ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN I HAVE A QUESTION.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PARAGRAPHS DOWN WITH THIS, BUT IT SAYS IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE STUDENT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ATTEND CLASSES OR PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES FOR MORE THAN 14 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE MADE TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM.
IF YOU ARE QUARANTINED FOR 14 DAYS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU AN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, BUT IF YOU ARE MORE THAN 14 DAYS YOU GET ONE?
>> [NOISE] CHAIR, [INAUDIBLE].
THIS RECOMMENDATION IS INTERESTING BECAUSE WE'RE REQUIRED TO DROP A STUDENT AFTER 10 DAYS.
THIS POLICY COMING FORWARD WAS AN INTERESTING ONE WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT, BUT THE INTENT IS WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO, THIS WE DO TO PROVIDE ENOUGH FUNDS AND FOR STUDENTS TO STAY UP TO DATE TO THE BEST STANDARD POSSIBLE.
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT THE SAME AS WHEN THEY'RE IN CLASS.
[NOISE] FOR EXAMPLE, THE WHOLE CLASS QUARANTINE, WE ARE KEEPING UP WITH THAT.
IT'S VERY CHALLENGING FOR A TEACHER TO HAVE A FACE-TO-FACE CLASS AS WELL
[01:50:01]
AS AN ONLINE STUDENT SO WE DON'T PROVIDE SYNCHRONOUS SESSIONS.HOWEVER, WE DO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS, IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME.
>> THANK YOU. SO ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THE ONLINE PLATFORM THAT WE USED.
>> IT COULD BE, FOR EXAMPLE, A STUDENT HAS TO BE ON HOMEBOUND CIRCUMSTANCES OR THEY'RE HOSPITALIZED, OR FOR SOME REASON THAT THEY ARE INCARCERATED.
SO WE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> MR. CHAIR, I MOVE TO APPROVE SECOND GRADE OF POLICIES: JLCC, INFECTIOUS DISEASES, IHBAE-R, LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT REGULATION, AND IHBAC, SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM OPTIONS AND OVERSIGHT AS PRESENTED.
>> THAT'S [INAUDIBLE], SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN TO APPROVE THE THREE DIFFERENT POLICIES ON SECOND READ TONIGHT.
TO PREVENT A [INAUDIBLE], I'M SORRY, I FORGOT TO ASK YOU THIS.
I COULDN'T FIND ANY REFERENCE WITHIN THIS REGULATION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DOING ANYTHING.
BUT THE SECOND TO LAST PARAGRAPH SAYS, "ANY DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHALL BE FINAL."
>> DEFINITELY FINAL. [LAUGHTER]
>> I DIDN'T SEE US DOING ANYTHING IN TERMS OF THIS POLICY SO I'M WONDERING WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
>> JUST REALLY, FOR ME, [INAUDIBLE], I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EDIT THAT EVEN SUGGESTED THE LAST TIME [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] IN THE EDIT.
HOW ABOUT I TAKE ANOTHER STEP AND [OVERLAPPING] NEXT MONTH THAT WE HAVE A SECOND READ OF ANOTHER POLICY, I CAN JUST TAP IT ON AND TAKE ANOTHER SET OF THAT?
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS, THIS IS THE REGULATION.
I BET YOU THE POLICY CALLS OUT EXACTLY OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY THE POLICY THING ON JLCC.
>> CHAIR [INAUDIBLE], IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU, COULD I BEG THE BOARD TO WITHDRAW THIS ONE? LET ME TAKE ANOTHER [INAUDIBLE] AND GET IT RIGHT AND WE CAN PUT [OVERLAPPING].
>> ARE YOU OKAY WITH US DOING THE OTHER TWO TONIGHT?
>> EXCELLENT. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A NEW ONE?
>> MR. CHAIR, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE SECOND READ OF POLICIES: IHBAE-R, LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT REGULATION AND IHBAC, SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM OPTIONS AND OVERSIGHT AS PRESENTED.
>> THE VOTE SECONDED TO APPROVE TWO OF THE THREE TONIGHT.
ALL THOSE FOR APPROVAL SAY, AYE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] AND WE WILL SEE JLCC NEXT MONTH.
OKAY. NOW WE'RE FINALLY UP TO LONG RANGE FACILITIES PLAN.
THE CONCEPT TONIGHT WAS THAT WE WOULD VOTE JUST ON A LIST.
THE LIST DOESN'T BIND US, IT'S JUST A LONG RANGE.
IT MEANS OVER TIME, THIS WILL BE OUR LIST THAT WE GO TO TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND FUNDING TO BUILD SOME OF THESE THINGS.
THERE'S NO PARTICULAR ORDER IN ANY OF THIS OTHER THAN, I THINK, WE'RE ALL VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOUSING.
IF THERE'S A PRIORITY, MAYBE HOUSING IS AT THE TOP, BUT AS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, IT'S ACTUALLY FIND THE FUNDING FOR IT.
IT'S NOT LISTED IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER.
WE'LL GO THROUGH EACH ONE, TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON EACH ONE, AND THEN HOPEFULLY AT THE END, MAYBE WE'LL VOTE ON EACH ONE SEPARATELY TO SEE IF WE ADD IT TO THE LIST.
[01:55:01]
THEN HOPEFULLY HAVE A LIST THAT WE ALL CAN AGREE ON THAT WE START WORKING ON NEXT YEAR AS TO HOW WE COULD POTENTIALLY ACTUALLY DO SOME OF THESE.WITH THAT SAID, THE FIRST ONE ON THE LIST IS HOUSING, I'LL START THERE.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON JUST THE HOUSING ASPECT? SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN EARLIER TONIGHT WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON HOUSING.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON US ADDING HOUSING TO OUR LONG RANGE FACILITIES PLAN? SEEING NONE ON THAT ONE, THEN I'LL JUST GO THROUGH EACH ONE FIRST BEFORE WE GO BACK TO DISCUSS AS A BOARD.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE OPERATION CENTER WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF OUR BUS BARN TRANSPORTATION AND OUR MAINTENANCE BUILDING? ANY QUOTE OR COMMENT ON THAT ISSUE? OKAY.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE SECURITY VESTIBULE CONCEPT? WE'RE LOOKING AT WILSON IN PARTICULAR. TRUSTEE, TESKE?
>> THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE ONE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES.
>> TRUSTEES AS A REMINDER, JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL [OVERLAPPING] SECURE VESTIBULE BUT WE PAIR IT WITH THE OTHER PROJECT.
>> ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE SECURITY VESTIBULE CONCEPT? THEY ALSO HAVE THE CTE VOCATIONAL REMODEL WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT? BUT THEN WE'LL MOVE TO THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENTS CENTER.
I WILL GO AHEAD AND I'LL MENTION THE SWIMMING POOL IF WE'RE GOING TO DO A SWIMMING POOL WE PROBABLY NEED TO BE SEPARATE.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ROOM THERE, BUT I WILL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT TO DISCUSSION OF THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENTS CENTER INDOOR SWIMMING POOL.
[LAUGHTER] IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS ON EITHER OF THOSE PLEASE COME FORWARD AND JOIN. MOLLY, COME ON UP.
>> THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME COME BACK UP HERE AND TALK WITH THE BOARD.
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S NICE LIKE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME, I'M NOT GOING TO LECTURE ANYONE ON THE REASONS THE POOL IS NEEDED.
I'M BASICALLY JUST UP HERE ASKING FOR BASICALLY THIS DISCUSSION NOT TO BE CLOSED RIGHT NOW.
IT FEELS LIKE TO SWIM COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE PLAYING CATCH-UP RIGHT NOW.
IT WAS ONLY IN OCTOBER THAT WE LEARNED OF THE PLANS, AND SO FOR US TO GATHER THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT YOU GUYS NEEDED IT JUST SEEMS OVERWHELMING RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE REALLY ASKING NOT TO NECESSARILY SAY YES OR NO, BUT TO KEEP THE DIALOGUE OPEN.
SINCE THE LAST MEETING YOU ALL ASKED ME TO REACH OUT AND TO TRY TO GET SOME NUMBERS.
I DID DO THAT. I REACHED OUT TO FOUR DIFFERENT POOLS.
I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM LANDER, WHICH I DO THINK IS A CRITICAL ONE TO HEAR FROM.
BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM THE REC CENTER, TYING DALE, AND I SENT YOU ALL GREEN RIVER FOR YEARLY MAINTENANCE COSTS.
EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE COME IN WITH DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT NUMBERS THAN YOU ALL ARE SAYING THAT WOULD COST.
I DO FEEL IT SHOULD BE A FAIR ASSESSMENT ON THE POOL.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, NUMBERS COME IN AND IT CAN'T WORK OUT, THEN I TOTALLY GET IT.
BUT RIGHT NOW JUST SEEMS LIKE $30 MILLION BASED OFF A 50 METER POOL, WHICH WE'RE NOT EVEN ASKING FOR IS NOT A FAIR ASSESSMENT TO GO OFF OF OR 750 TO A MILLION DOLLARS OF AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COST BECAUSE THREE OUT OF THE FOUR POOLS INCLUDING OURS IS LESS AROUND 225 AT THE VERY MOST.
THAT'S A FAR CRY FROM A MILLION DOLLARS.
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO KEEP THE DISCUSSION OPEN.
THAT'S ALL. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS LETTING ME SPEAK AGAIN.
>> MOLLY, WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE.
>> THAT'S [INAUDIBLE] TO DO THAT.
WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION.
>> ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENTS THAT ARE SLASH INDOOR SWIMMING POOL? I WENT THROUGH ALL OF THEM, SO WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.
BOARD, THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A VOTE.
I WAS JUST GOING TO GO DOWN AND SEE IF WE HAVE A CONSENSUS.
DOES EVERYONE IN AGREEMENT THAT HOUSING SHOULD BE ON THE LIST?
DOES EVERYONE AGREE THE BUS BARN SLASH MAINTENANCE FACILITY SHOULD BE ON THE LIST?
>> EVERYONE AGREE THE SECURITY VESTIBULES FOR BOTH THE JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL AND WILSON SHOULD BE ON THE LIST?
>> THE CTE VOCATIONAL REMODEL AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL? ANYTHING ELSE?
>> I MEAN, IF IT'S A LONG-RANGE PLAN, YES.
[02:00:03]
>> IT'S PART OF THE CONVERSATION.
>> IT'LL BE ON THE LIST. IT DOESN'T MEAN WE'LL EVER GET TO THAT [INAUDIBLE].
BUT EVERYBODY IS COMFORTABLE WITH IT BEING ON THE LIST?
>> THANK YOU. I MENTIONED THIS TO GILLIAN EARLIER, IS I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT OUR CTE PROGRAM IS IN TERMS OF WHAT WE DO AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HOW THAT CASCADES UP INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL SO THAT THERE'S SOME SORT OF A THOUGHT THAT THIS ISN'T JUST WE'RE GOING TO THROW A KITCHEN HERE, A LAB THERE, AND WHATEVER THAT THERE'S SOME, WHAT DO WE WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR? PROVIDING WHAT ACTIVITIES?
>> MR. CHAIR, WHEN I MADE MY COMMENT AS WE WERE COMING IN CONSENSUS.
I THINK TOO THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND WHEN WE INITIALLY DECIDE TO START THE CONVERSATION MAYBE WE TALKING ABOUT SETTING A LONG-RANGE PLAN AND I THINK THAT THE WORDS LONG-RANGE HAVE BEEN STARTING TO BE LEFT OFF THE TABLE [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] WE WANT TO DO ALL THIS IN THE NEXT TWO YEAR.
I MEAN, OR AT LEAST THAT'S HOW IT WAS PRESENTED TO ME TO BEGIN WITH, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO INCLUDE IN ALL CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED I WOULD GIVE A HEAD NODE TO ALL OF THESE INCLUDING THIS SWIMMING POOL WITH THE IDEA THAT IT IS A LONG-RANGE PLAN AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE COULD POSSIBLY DO THAT.
I WAS GOING DOWN ON THE LIST IN THE AGENDA, BUT I TOTALLY FORGOT THE STADIUM STUFF AND I APOLOGIZE.
I'LL BACK UP HERE AND TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE STADIUM PORTAL, PARKING LOT, ACCESS ROAD, THE BLEACHERS, PRESS BOX, AND LOCKER ROOM PROJECT? IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ANY OF THOSE? SEEING NONE. I'LL CLOSE THAT PUBLIC COMMENT.
AGAIN, IT GOES TO WHAT TRUSTEE CARLIN IS TALKING ABOUT.
WE ALL NEED TO BE IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS A 20-YEAR LONG-RANGE PLAN.
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THE LOCKER ROOM.
IF I'M DOWN ABOUT THE FIND MONEY FOR STUFF THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SCRAMBLING TO FIND MONEY FOR RIGHT NOW.
BUT I DON'T MIND IT BEING ON THE LIST.
THERE MIGHT BE A SCHOOL BOARD AFTER US THAT COMES ALONG AND THEY SEE IT ON THE LIST AND GO, THIS WAS ON THEIR LIST SURE WE'LL HELP FIND THE MONEY FOR THIS.
IT'S IMPORTANT AND WE SHOULD STRESS IT EVERY TIME WHAT TRUSTEE CARLIN SAID THIS IS A LONG-RANGE PLAN IT'S A 20-YEAR PLAN, AND WE'RE NOT BUILDING THESE ALL TOMORROW [LAUGHTER].
BUT ANY THOUGHTS ON THE SITE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE STADIUM, WHICH INCLUDES A LOCKER ROOM, BLEACHERS, PARKING LOT, AND A PORTAL.
>> I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT IT EITHER.
ONE OF MY PET PEEVES IS THAT WE KEEP BUILDING PARKING LOTS ON THIS REALLY VALUABLE LAND THAT WE COULD USE FOR A SWIMMING POOL OR SOMETHING ELSE.
I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT THAT IDEA AND [INAUDIBLE] CRAZY ABOUT THAT IDEA.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THE JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL SITE ENTRY PORTAL AND THE STADIUM BLEACHERS AND PRESS BOX, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON TONIGHT.
>> OBVIOUSLY THOSE SHOULD BE PART OF THE LONG-TERM PLAN.
>> ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THAT ONE? [INAUDIBLE]
>> WELL, AGAIN, IF IT'S A LONG-RANGE PLAN, I CAN SUPPORT IT, BUT AS LONG AS WE'RE HAVING THE SAFETY ISSUES, TAKING CARE OF THE BLEACHERS AND THE PRESS BOX AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN TAGGED AS NOT BEING UP TO SNUFF, THEN IT WOULD BE LOW ON MY PRIORITY LIST, BUT I COULD KEEP IT ON THE LIST LONG RANGE.
I'M JUST SAYING IT'S NOT A HIGH PRIORITY.
>> I WOULD LOVE TO ADD SOMETHING ON THIS.
[NOISE] THE DIAGRAM ENHANCES THE PARKING LOT, THE PINE SUMMIT,
[02:05:01]
IT'S WAY BIG AND WE ASKED HIM TO SCALE THAT BACK, SO THIS IS AN OLD RENDERING.ON THE PARKING LOT, ALL WE'D BE DOING IS PAVING WHAT CURRENTLY NOW IS DIRT AND GETTING RID OF THOSE [OVERLAPPING] THAT APPEARED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO CLARIFY THAT PIECE BECAUSE [INAUDIBLE] THIS SPACE AS WELL.
>> YOU'RE NOT CROSSING OVER THE PATHWAY.
>> [INAUDIBLE] I'LL ALSO AGREE TO LEAVE EVERYTHING IS ON THE LIST INCLUDING THE POOL, BUT HAVING A PRIORITY, AND THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY LOW ACTUALLY BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT EDUCATIONAL IMPACT VERSUS COST-SAVING, IT'S AN ELABORATE OF LOW PRIORITY.
WHEN DO WE PRIORITIZE THESE THINGS?
>> WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT TOO TONIGHT.
I WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT I THOUGHT I COULD ACCOMPLISH, [LAUGHTER] JUST GETTING THE LIST, [LAUGHTER] I WAS BEING OPTIMISTIC JUST WITH THAT.
BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GO FOR IT, THEY CAN TRY TO PRIORITIZE THE LIST IF THE REST OF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.
>> HERE'S WHY. I THINK SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE CLUMPED TOGETHER IN PLACES THAT I THINK WE NEED TO PULL THEM APART INTO FINER PIECES SO THAT WE GET TRUE COST IMPACT AND MAYBE DO IT NEXT MONTH IF THAT WOULD BE OKAY WITH EVERYBODY.
>> I'D LIKE TO SEE THE JACKSON HOLE SECURITY PRIORITIZED AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S CLAMPED IN WITH SOMETHING ELSE [OVERLAPPING] SARA LEE WITH ACHIEVEMENTS.
>> LET'S PULL THAT OUT THEN, WHY DON'T WE DO THAT?
>> YOUR POINT ABOUT THE LOCKER ROOMS AND HOW DO WE TAKE IN SOME OF THESE PIECES THAT ARE PUT UNDER OTHER PIECES, IF IT COULD BE PRESENTED DIFFERENTLY, IT MIGHT MAKE THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS [OVERLAPPING].
>> I LOOK AT THIS AS PROJECTS TO TAKE IN FRONT AND PROJECTS THAT WE SHOULD FUND-RAISE FOR.
>> THOSE ARE TWO VERY DISTINCT.
[OVERLAPPING] WE HAVE SECURITY VESTIBULES AND STATE FUNCTION.
CTE PROBABLY A STATE FUNCTION.
THE PORTION ABOUT THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENT CENTER, NOT ALL IS A STATE FUNCTION.
THE LOCKER ROOMS, [OVERLAPPING] THEY SHOULD BE FUN BASED, AND I'D LOVE A SWIMMING POOL.
THIS IS A BIG COMMUNITY DECISION, NOT JUST ONE LEFT TO THE SCHOOLS, AND I'M CONCERNED THAT WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE PARTIES TO MAKE A REALLY GOOD DECISION, OR EVEN TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION UNTIL WE HIT EVERYBODY AROUND THE TABLE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY WE WANT.
WHERE DO WE WANT TO BUILD IT ON THIS VALUABLE LAND, AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT, AND THEN THE CONTINUING OPERATION OF IT.
I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY $3-400,000 JUST THE NEW EMPLOYEES TO MANAGE IT, SECURE IT, MAINTAIN IT, CLEAN IT.
THAT'S STARTING EACH YEAR WITH FULL-TIME BENEFITS IS 100,000 A YEAR.
THE STADIUMS 80,000 A YEAR, THAT'S WHERE OUR MONEY START GETTING INTO REAL DOLLARS.
>> LET'S TALK REAL QUICK BEFORE WE GET IN THE SCREEN POLL, [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER] IS EVERYONE COMMITTED TO THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENTS THERE?
>> GO BACK TO YOUR SWIMMING POOL. [LAUGHTER].
>> LET'S NOT PUT IT ON THIS LONG-TERM LIST, BUT LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT IT.
IT'S A CONVERSATION ON HOW THE COUNTY NEEDS TO PARTICIPATE IN IT BECAUSE EVERYTHING WE'RE READING IT'S GOING TO BE A PUBLIC FACILITY.
WE MAY HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION, HOW DOES THE PUBLIC ACCESS THE SWIMMING POOL DURING SCHOOL HOURS? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE TOO MANY NON-SCHOOL FUNCTIONS DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
THERE'S JUST BIG ISSUES, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT.
[BACKGROUND] YES, IT'S A BIT MORE THAN US.
>> ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON THE SWIMMING POOL?
>> I GUESS [OVERLAPPING] A QUESTION ON WHAT BILL JUST SAID, IS IT A SWIMMING POOL THAT'S ACCESSED TO THE PUBLIC OR IS IT PROVIDING PROGRAMS FOR OUR STUDENTS TO FREE UP THE PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL AT THE REC CENTER FOR THE PUBLIC?
>> THE REC CENTER AT THE PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL WAS BUILT ON SCHOOL PROPERTY WITH THE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD HAVE ACCESS [LAUGHTER] [FOREIGN].
[02:10:06]
>> OTHER THOUGHTS ON THE POOL?
>> ONE THOUGHT IS, THERE'S REALLY NOT A SPACE FOR IT AT THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENT CENTER.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU WOULD PUT IT THERE AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT OTHER LOCATION WE HAVE, SO IF WE PUT IT ON THE LIST, IT'S JUST FLOATING [LAUGHTER] THE POOL IS JUST FLOATING OUT THERE.
>> YOU COULD ENLARGE THE BRONC ACHIEVEMENTS CENTER INTO THE TENNIS COURT AND THE TENNIS COURT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
>> MAY I JUST MAKE ONE PUBLIC STATEMENT.
[OVERLAPPING] I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE PUBLIC STATEMENT THAT NO LEVIES ARE NOT BEING SUGGESTED AS A MEANS TO PAY FOR THIS POOL.
I'LL TELL YOU LATER WHY I SAID THAT [APPLAUSE].
>> THIS WILL GO DOWN IN THE LINE BUT IS THERE A CONSENSUS TO PUT THE SWIMMING POOL ON OR NOT? WOULD ANYONE WANT TO PUT THE SWIMMING POOL UP THERE?
>> WE HAVE A VOTE. [OVERLAPPING].
>> I'M JUST TREADING WATER HERE.
I JUST COME DOWN HERE TO GIVE THIS VOTE.
BILLS AND BETSY'S COMMENTS, BILL'S COMMENTS ABOUT THIS SHOULD BE A GREATER CONVERSATION IN THE COMMUNITY, [BACKGROUND] WE ARE HERE TO OKAY IF IT'S ON SCHOOL PROPERTY, THEN THIS IS SCHOOL USE, AND SO NOW YOU HAVE THE SAME THING THAT FROM 7:00 IN THE MORNING UNTIL NIGHT, IT'S SCHOOL USE LIKE OUR GYMS AND STUFF AND THEN UNTIL AFTER THEN IT WILL BE PUBLIC.
IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS IS, PERHAPS AS BILL SAID THAT GREATER COMMUNITY CONVERSATION RATHER THAN SOMETHING WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE BEING WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PUTS GREATER RESTRICTIONS UPON IT THAN IF IT WERE SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE WAS INVOLVED.
>> THE OTHER THOUGHT JUST TO THROW OUT THERE, IT'S A LONG-RANGE PLAN THAT'S NOT WRITTEN IN STONE, SO WE CAN COME BACK IN JUNE AND ADD TO IT.
>> MY OTHER HALF WAS THAT BETSY KEPT SAYING 20 YEAR PLAN IS A BIT LONG TERM IN WHICH DAYS IF WE'RE THINKING 20 YEARS OUT AND WE THROW PARTNERS IN THERE AND STUFF, THEN YOU CAN PUT THE POOL IN THERE.
HE SAID WE'RE NOT BUILDING THIS IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, BUT WE HAVE BETSY'S IDEA, THIS IS A LONG-RANGE PLAN AND IT CAN BE REVISITED, THEN I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM PUTTING THE POOL IN THERE.
JUST AS PART OF THIS OVERALL DISCUSSION.
>> JUST TO ADD ONTO THAT BECAUSE I THINK I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT, AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT, THE IDEA THAT THERE'S A CONVENING OF STAKEHOLDERS THAT COME UP WITH THE REST OF THE PLAN AND CLEARLY AT THIS POINT, JUST GETTING A SENSE MAYBE EVERYBODY WILL CHANGE THEIR MIND IN JANUARY, BUT THAT IT WOULD BE PRETTY LOW ON THEIR PRIORITY LIST.
IF YOU SAID THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE 10 YEARS FROM NOW, THAT'S A LONG TIME TO GET STAKEHOLDERS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN, AND IF STAKEHOLDERS CAN COME UP WITH A PLAN [INAUDIBLE].
WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK ON IT AND TO ME, YES, I THINK THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD GET SOME USE OUT OF IT, MAYBE WE COULD EVEN HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SWIMMING EDUCATION THAN WE ALREADY HAVE AT $20 A CHILD IN KINDERGARTEN, FIRST GRADE THAT I'VE READ ABOUT AT THE REC DISTRICT.
THE SWIM TEAM COULD BE HERE, IF WE COULD HAVE A VOICE FROM [INAUDIBLE] THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER RED TAPE AND BUREAUCRACY THAT TIE TO THAT.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WOULD WORK FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BUT REALLY, MOST OF THE LETTERS THAT WE GOT, IT'S JUST THAT THE REC CENTER IS OVERCROWDED AND WE NEED A SECOND POOL FOR THE COMMUNITY.
I WORRY ABOUT HAVING IT BE HIGH ON THE PRIORITY LIST IF IT'S NOT GOING TO BE REALLY MOSTLY FOR SCHOOLS, WITHOUT HAVING A STAKEHOLDER GROUP AND HAVE IT BE A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT.
>> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY WHEN THAT'S THE SECOND, FOURTH TERM,
[02:15:01]
SHE COULD PROBABLY MOVE IT FORWARD.>> MR. CHAIR, IT'S FIVE YEARS MAYBE UNTIL WE START LOOKING AT THIS AGAIN.
OUR POPULATION IN THIS COUNTY IS JUST GROWING SO MUCH THAT THE CONGESTION AT THE TOWN POOL IS JUST GOING TO GET FULLER WITH MORE AND MORE PEOPLE.
I THINK I WOULD PUT IT ON THERE.
IT MAY NOT BE HIGH PRIORITY, NOT NOW, BUT BY THE TIME WE GET AROUND TO THIS, IT MAY BE REALLY IMPORTANT [INAUDIBLE].
>> PASSIONATE PEOPLE WILL FIND WAYS TO GET THINGS DONE AND THEY'RE CLEARLY A LOT OF PASSIONATE PEOPLE ABOUT THAT POOL.
>> I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING OFFICIAL TONIGHT.
WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE, WE HAVE A PETITIONER IN FRONT OF US.
WE HAVE 30 DAYS TO ACT ON THAT PETITION.
CONSEQUENTLY, WE NEED TO MAKE SOME SORT OF A MOTION THAT DECLARES WHAT OUR INTENT IS.
>> WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON IT, THIS WAS OUR PLAN.
>> THIS WAS OUR LONG-RANGE PLAN.
>> WITH THAT, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION? THE MOTION WOULD BE THAT WE'RE ADOPTING A LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLAN AND ON THAT LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLAN, WILL BE THE BRONCS ACHIEVEMENTS CENTER, THE SECURITY VESTIBULES, THE STADIUM PORTAL, THE BLEACHERS PRESS BOX, LOCKER ROOM, BUS BARN, MAINTENANCE BUILDING, THE CTE VOCATIONAL, ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED TODAY, AND THE HOUSING.
THEN ALSO THE SWIMMING POOL WOULD ALSO BE ON THE LIST.
IS SOMEONE WILLING TO MAKE THAT MOTION?
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRUSTEE MEADE, SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN TO ADOPT A LONG-RANGE FACILITIES PLAN THAT WILL INCLUDE ALL THE ITEMS THAT I JUST LISTED.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED. WE HAVE A LONG-RANGE FACILITIES PLAN.
WHAT WE END UP DOING WITH IT, THAT'S THE DIFFERENT THING, [LAUGHTER] BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE A LIST.
[BACKGROUND] ONE THING, AND I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH INTO THE FUNDING AND DISCUSSION TONIGHT, BUT SUPERINTENDENT CHAPMAN, IS THERE A MEANS BY WHICH WE CAN MAKE A REQUEST FOR A MOTION STUDY TO BEGIN ON THE HIGH SCHOOL?
>> [INAUDIBLE] TRUSTEES, THERE IS A MEANS, BUT PROBABLY NOT A LOT OF HOPE.
I WOULD ARGUE THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE MOTION STUDY THAT INCLUDED THE HIGH SCHOOL IN 2018 WITH PLANNING 1.
THAT'S THE COMMITTEE THAT IN MOST OF THESE PLANS FROM THAT STUDY.
>> REALLY, THE NEXT STEP IS WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT OUR ENROLLMENT IS SUCH AND THE HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT BY ITSELF WE MAY NEED TO CALCULATE THE ROOM SPACE AND THEN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT CAN BE IN THE ROOM, PLUS THE 21-1 THAT THEY ASSIGN TEACHER-PUPIL RATIO.
THERE ARE VERY FEW MECHANISMS THAT WOULD EVER PUT OUR HIGH SCHOOL AT THE TOP OF THE NEW LIST.
AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST BECAUSE OF THE PER PUPIL-TEACHER RATIO AND THE SIZE OF THE CLASSROOM.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE PROBABLY AT 68 PERCENT CAPACITY BECAUSE THEY ASSUME THAT THE GYM CAN BE USED BY 60 KIDS.
THEY ASSUME YOU COULD SAY, "WELL, I HAVE ALL MY ROOMS USED, BUT I NEED A MATH CLASS." IS THE GYM A SUITABLE LOCATION FOR A MATH CLASS? PROBABLY NOT. HOWEVER, BY THE WAY THE STATE CALCULATES IT, THEY WOULD SAY THAT IT IS.
THAT PROCESS IS FRUSTRATING, IT'S LONG AND IT'S REALLY A REACTION.
I WOULD BRING IT FORWARD WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND OUR DATA SHOW THAT WE DON'T LOSE KIDS.
WE HAD MORE THAN 100 PERCENT COHORTS [INAUDIBLE].
I JUST PULLED THE DATA HERE, OUR SENIOR CLASS HAS 209 STUDENTS.
THEN OUR KINDERGARTEN IN 2009 WE HAD 208 STUDENTS.
[02:20:03]
BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN, THE SENIORS IN 2009, WE HAD 172 STUDENTS AND 208 KINDERGARTNERS.NOW IF YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED, WE HAVE AN INCREASE OF 18 PERCENT.
WE USE THAT DATA TO SAY TO THE STATE, THE ELEMENTARY PROBLEM WAS SOLVED, THESE KIDS ARE COMING AND THEY'RE STAYING.
OUR ELEMENTARY ISSUE IS FINE, BUT NOW WE'RE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
NOW WE'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL [INAUDIBLE].
BUT THE STATE DOESN'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.
IT'S VERY REACTIONARY AND IT'S VERY FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
>> SURE IT CAN HELP TO HAVE WAIT ROOMS, CLIMBING GYMS, WHATEVER ELSE IN THE SCHOOL NOW WHEN THEY LOOK AT, WELL, YOU COULD BE USING THOSE FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES.
>> YOU COULD USE IT FOR PE. THOSE ARE OUR PE AND OUR HEALTH CLASSROOMS. OUR HEALTH CLASSROOM IS IN THE ROOM THAT HAS A CLIMBING WALL.
THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE WAIT ROOM, THAT'S A PE CLASS AND THOSE ARE USED ALL DAY LONG.
WE USED TO HAVE A WRESTLING ROOM AND THAT'S WHERE THEY FIND ROOM IN HEALTH CLASSES.
WE DON'T HAVE A WRESTLING ROOM ANYMORE BECAUSE THAT'S AN ACTIVITY THAT IS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE DON'T HAVE A WRESTLING ROOM.
IT'S AN ACTIVITY THAT'S A VERY SHORT AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY AND SO WE HAD TO MAKE A TOUGH DECISION TO SAY, WE NEED THIS FOR AN EDUCATIONAL SPACE.
WE CAN'T JUST HAVE AN ENTIRE ROOM ALL DAY SO THAT THE KIDS CAN HAVE AN ADEQUATE PLACE TO WRESTLE OR PRACTICE IN THE EVENINGS.
SO THAT'S A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF A SPACE THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT MEANT FOR A HEALTH CLASSROOM, THAT WE TURNED IT INTO A HEALTH AND PE CLASSROOM BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED.
>> WE'LL MOVE ON WITH OUR NEXT ITEM.
IT'S THE AWARD OF THE BID OF THE GRANDSTAND AND PRESS BOX STRUCTURE PACKAGE.
>> SO [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU. SURE YOU CAN READ.
LAST MONTH WE APPROVED THE USE OF FUNDING SO WE COULD GET THIS ORDERED.
WE PUT OUT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND BIDS AND THAT CLOSED AT THE END OF NOVEMBER.
WE GOT ONE BID ATTACHED FOR $650,000 AND THAT IS STRICTLY THE MATERIALS.
WE'D LIKE TO AWARD THIS BID AND OFFICIALLY GET THESE ORDERED.
WE ALSO ALREADY RECEIVED CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FROM THE SLIB DIRECTOR TO MOVE THE BLEACHERS AND THE GRANDSTAND OR THE PRESS BOX TO THE WEST SIDE.
THAT BOARD MEETING WILL BE IN FEBRUARY BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND GAVE US CONDITIONAL APPROVAL TO MOVE AHEAD UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THIS ORDERED.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS BEFORE YOU.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT?
>> MR. CHAIR, I'VE FORGOTTEN WHERE THESE FUNDS ARE COMING FROM.
I KNOW WE VOTED ON IT. [LAUGHTER]
>> [OVERLAPPING] MAJOR MAINTENANCE FUNDS.
>> IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NONE, I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE BID FOR A NEW GRANDSTAND AND PRESS BOX STRUCTURE PACKAGE FROM [INAUDIBLE] CONSTRUCTION NOT TO EXCEED $750,000 AS PRESENTED.
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO APPROVE THE AWARD OF THE BID FOR THE GRANDSTAND PRESS BOX FROM [INAUDIBLE] CONSTRUCTION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED. WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE MARTIN LANE EASEMENT REQUEST.
>> TRUSTEES, BEFORE YOU I JUST HAVE A QUESTION AND OBJECTION.
CHAPMAN JACKSON, HE'S REQUESTING UTILITY EASEMENT BE ADDED TO THE EXISTING PATHWAY AT THE MARTIN LANE PROPERTY, AND THIS IS TO INSTALL [INAUDIBLE].
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IN OR ALONG FLAT CREEK SO IT WOULDN'T BE ON FLAT CREEK.
I BELIEVE JOHNNY ZEE WAS AVAILABLE AND CHARLOTTE IS ON WEBEX SO I'LL SEE IF CHARLOTTE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD OR IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. CHARLOTTE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, TRUSTEES.
FIRST OF ALL, I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING THERE IN PERSON TONIGHT, BUT DR. CHAPMAN IS CORRECT.
THE TOWN HAS SUBMITTED THIS REQUEST
[02:25:01]
TO ADD A UTILITY EASEMENT WITHIN THE CURRENT PATHWAY EASEMENT.IT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE UTILITIES AND THE ELECTRICITY THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO OPERATE THE [INAUDIBLE] THAT WOULD BE WITHIN FLAT CREEK ITSELF.
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE JOHNNY ZEE IS ON THIS EVENING.
I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS BUT IF YOU DO HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, I COULD CERTAINLY CIRCLE BACK WITH TOWN STAFF TO GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.
>> CHARLOTTE, DO YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T.
I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND ON THAT PATHWAY EASEMENT WHICH IS ON THE ONE EDGE OF OUR PROPERTY, IT SAID IN THE STATEMENT FROM THE TOWN IT WON'T AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO PUT A PATHWAY IN, IN THE FUTURE, BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE THESE WERE ABOVE-GROUND UTILITIES.
I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TO WHAT STRUCTURES WERE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE THERE.
>> MR. CHAIR, MY UNDERSTANDING IN SPEAKING WITH TOWN STAFF WAS THAT THIS WAS UNDERGROUND UTILITIES, SO I WOULD NEED TO DOUBLE-CHECK THAT.
>> I GUESS, CHARLOTTE, THE OTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I WONDER IF IT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE USAGE THAT'S PRESENTLY BEING USED ON WITH THE PROPERTY.
TO CONSTRUCT A [INAUDIBLE], THE TOWN WOULD ALSO FURTHER REQUEST PERMISSION FOR A 30-FOOT TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR SOME ADDITIONAL ROOM TO CONSTRUCT THIS PROJECT.
>> MR. CHAIR, TRUSTEE TESKE, I RECOGNIZE THAT IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF SPACE AND WOULD REQUIRE COORDINATION WITH THE CURRENT LEASE OF THAT PROPERTY IF THE BOARD WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH US.
>> I GUESS TAGGING ONTO THE TEMPORARY EASEMENT, I THINK WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AFTER CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED THAT THEY WOULD RESTORE THE LAND TO THE CURRENT CONDITION OR BETTER AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE [BACKGROUND][LAUGHTER].
>> TRUSTEE BRAHMSTAD, YOU HAD SOME QUESTIONS EARLIER ABOUT THIS ONE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR US AS TO WHAT WE SHOULD DO?
>> NO. I MEAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S THE ACCESSES TO DRILL THE WELLS WITHIN THE TOWN PROPERTY.
>> THE ULTIMATE THING [BACKGROUND].
>> [LAUGHTER] SORRY WHAT SHOULD WE DO? [LAUGHTER]
>> FIRST I THOUGHT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THE SCHOOL AUTHENTIC PROPERTY.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'LL BE UNDERGROUND SOME OF THE UTILITIES.
[H. Consent Agenda]
I THINK, THE '30S, '40S.[NOISE] I'M LOOKING AT THE MAP AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT FUNNY QUOTE, HALFWAY EASEMENT THAT IT'S RUNNING ALONG OUR PROPERTY IF THAT 20 FEET IS EXCLUSIVELY ON OUR PROPERTY, OR DOES IT GO ON TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY? IS IT A LONG MAP?
>> [OVERLAPPING] TEN ON EACH SIDE AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR ANOTHER 10 ON THE OTHER SIDE JUST [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE 20 FOR THEN, 30 FOR DURING CONSTRUCTION.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT [INAUDIBLE].
>> I THINK THEY'RE ASKING FOR OUR EXISTING TEMPLATE PATHWAY IS MEANT TO BE USED FOR A PATHWAY AND UTILITIES.
IS MY SIZE JUST STAYING THE SAME THEN TEMPORARILY IT GOES FROM 10 FEET TO 30 FEET FOR ACCESS DURING CONSTRUCTION?
>> OTHER ODD PART IS TRUSTEE SCARLETT BROUGHT UP THE GIS THAT EASEMENT ISN'T THERE.
[I. Communication]
I JUST THINK THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS.IS THIS SOMETHING CHARLOTTE, THE TOWN WAS PLANNING ON DRILLING TOMORROW?
>> [LAUGHTER] MR. CHAIR, THE TOWN STAFF DID NOT GIVE ME THEIR TIMELINE BUT I THINK IF THE BOARD HAS THESE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS, WE CAN CERTAINLY GO BACK TO THEM AND ASK FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION AND WE COULD JUST LET THEM KNOW THAT WE NEED TO BRING THIS BACK TO OUR BOARD IN JANUARY.
>> BOARD, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CONTINUING THIS TO JANUARY?
[02:30:03]
>> MR. CHAIR I WOULD MOVE THAT WE CONTINUE THIS TO JANUARY.
>> IS IT, LET ME GUESS [OVERLAPPING] IT WAS A SECOND.
>> IF WE DO THE 30 FOOT TO ACCESS THIS ONE WILL THAT DISRUPT OUR LEASE WITH OUR CURRENT TENANTS? THEIR RIGHT OF ENJOYMENT. DO WE HAVE ANY RIGHTS?
>> TO CREATING THEIR OWN 30-FOOT ACCESS ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY WE LEASE THE PROPERTY OUT. SOME FOR JANUARY.
>> WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
THEY HAVE DONE SEVERAL PROPERTIES THEY'RE TOO YOUNG [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE SHOULD PI TALK WITH THE LEASE HOLDER, MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE EVEN DISCUSSING THIS BECAUSE THEY MAY TELL US THAT NO, WE HAVE NOWHERE TO MOVE THOSE BUSES, THEN WE HAVE TO GO FIND A PLACE TO STORE THEIR BUSES FOR THEM.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO CONTINUE TO JANUARY.
>> ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE. IT PASSES
>> WE MOVE UP TO WYOMING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND RESOLUTION. CHRISTINE
>> BLAMING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND IS OPPORTUNITY FOR WILLING GOVERNMENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN FULL SECURITIES, LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS, AS WELL AS LIQUIDATED INVESTMENTS.
IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT POOL, WE WOULD NEED TO SIGN THIS RESOLUTION.
THEY ALSO OFFER SERVICES AROUND SETTING UP SPECIFIC ACCOUNTS LIKE 457 F ACCOUNT, WHICH IS A DEFERRED COMPENSATION.
ALONG WITH PARTICIPATING IN THE WYOMING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUNDS, WE GET A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE.
THE REPORTS THAT THEY PUT OUT ON A QUARTERLY BASIS ARE REALLY GREAT AND CAN HELP GUIDE THE DISTRICT ON INVESTING OUR FRIENDS, WHETHER WITHIN THE WYOMING GOVERNMENT AND INVESTMENT FUND OR OUTSIDE OF.
RIGHT NOW INTEREST RATES ACROSS THE BORDER ARE RELATIVELY LOW.
WE HAVE A GOOD THING GOING WITH THINK OF JACKSON HOLE WITH MOST OF OUR CASH AND PARTICIPATING IN THE WYOMING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE ONLY TRANSFER A SMALL AMOUNT, MAYBE 100,000 OVER, TO JUST BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND RECEIVE THE INFORMATION THAT THEY DISTRIBUTE UNTIL INTEREST RATES STARTS TO INCREASE THEN WE CAN START TO MAXIMIZE OUR FUNDS AND GAIN MORE INTEREST DOLLARS.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR CHRISTINE.
>> MR. TURNER, I'M GOING TO [OVERLAPPING] ABSTAIN FROM THIS SINCE I SIT ON THE BOARD THAT OVERSEES THIS.
>> ANYONE ELSE? QUESTION? THANK YOU CHRISTINE.
PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NONE I ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE WYOMING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND RESOLUTION AS PRESENTED.
>> [INAUDIBLE] TRUSTEE SCARLETT AND SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN TO APPROVE THE WYOMING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND RESOLUTION.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE. WE'RE UP TO CONSENT AGENDA.
TONIGHT CONSENT AGENDA INCLUDE THE APPROVAL OF THE STAFF CONSIDERATIONS.
APPROVAL OF THE MATCH FROM NOVEMBER 10TH.
THE APPROVAL THAT NOVEMBER CHECK REGISTER.
APPROVAL OF LITIGATION AGREEMENT DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
APPROVAL OF THE FOOD SERVICE BUDGET TRANSFER.
APPROVAL CONTRACT WITH 3B RECONSTRUCTION FOR SNOW REMOVAL OF SANDY.
GOOGLE CONTRACT WITH MULLIGAN, THESE IRRIGATION AND LANDSCAPING FOR SNOW REMOVAL, AND APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH DATUM CONSTRUCTION FOR SNOW REMOVAL.
>> I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.
>> THE MOOT SECONDED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.
I WILL STATE I NEED TO RECUSE MYSELF ON NUMBER 4 THROUGH LITIGATION AGREEMENT DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WITH THAT SAID, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS? SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
>> THEN WE'VE GOT THE STONE, BUT THE [INAUDIBLE] HASN'T COME YET [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE THEY HAD A PROBLEM
>> NOW THE SNOW. WE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT.
>> WE'RE UP TO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT ON ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT ON THE LAST NIGHT'S AGENDA? WE'RE ON THE ZOOM THERE?
>> WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMUNICATIONS TO THE BOARD? ALL ON THOSE AND OTHER WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE MOSTLY TO A LOT ON THE POOL.
[02:35:07]
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE BOARD.ANYBODY HAVE TO BE COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE BOARD? HAS TO BE SCARF.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, LAST NIGHT, I'D LIKE TO SHOUT OUT TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND MR. CARSON THEIR BAND INSTRUCTOR WHO PUT ON ONE HECK OF A [INAUDIBLE] CONCERT, CHRISTIANS BAND CONCERT.
STARTING WITH A TRIBUTE TO PEARL HARBOR.
A YOUNG LADY, A SIXTH GRADER, A SAXOPHONE SOLO WITH THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, AND WAS VERY MOVING AND IT WAS REALLY FUN TO SEE.
CONGRATULATIONS MIDDLE SCHOOL.
>> ANYONE ELSE HAVING COMMUNICATIONS? OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. WE'VE DISCUSSED, PERHAPS ANDREA TALKING MORE ABOUT JUST PUT IT UNDER, OTHER REPORTS.
MORE ON REP DISTRICT DISCUSSIONS MATERIALS.
WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS IN JANUARY, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN IN FEBRUARY, PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT.
I THINK THAT INTENSITY MEETING WANTED US TO HAVE SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, JUST TO FLASH THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE MEAN BY THAT, AND SO THAT STAFF CAN PREPARE.
JUST SO EVERYBODY'S CLEAR WHAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR STAFF TO BE WORKING ON BEFORE THAT.
>> WELL, ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I THINK AJ WITH EVERY IS OUT THERE.
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PARENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO HELP THEIR CHILDREN WITH THEIR SCHOOL WORK AND SUPPORT THEM.
WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE AN EDUCATION THEMSELVES, WHETHER THEY CANNOT READ OR CANNOT SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE, SPEAK ENGLISH HERE, ARE WORKING ALL THE TIME.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO ASSIST THOSE FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE PARENTS, TO SUPPORT THE KIDS, AND IN OTHER DISTRICTS I THINK THERE ARE EXAMPLES IN OTHER PLACES ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE.
SEVEN YEARS AGO WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS NEWS INCLUDING HAVING A CENTER WHERE PEOPLE WOULD GO AND GET SERVICES THEY NEED ALL IN ONE STOP SHOP WITH THE SCHOOLS.
THAT SORT OF THING. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE SAME DATE.
I THINK I THREW IT OFF A LITTLE BIT LAST MEETING BECAUSE YOU SAID IT AND I STARTED TALKING ABOUT PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES, AND THEN AFTER THAT I HAVE REALIZED I HAVE DRIFTED THE CONVERSATION IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
I HAVE CERTAINLY HEARD THAT ESPECIALLY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS COMING IN WORK.
SOME OF THE PARENTS MAY NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND.
I'VE HEARD OF OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE YOU ACTUALLY GO TO THE HOME AND THAT'S AN EXCHANGE WAS THERE.
SUPERMEN CHAIRMAN, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE SHOOTING FOR JANUARY OR IS IT SOMETHING WE SHOOT FOR FEBRUARY?
>> WE CAN PUT THIS ON IN JANUARY.
>> CHECK JINGLE I'VE ANOTHER ONE.
>> YOU KNOW WITH THE CURRENT PUBLIC ATRICATION IT'S MISSION IS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT WE HAVE TO TELL THEM WHAT WE WANT THEM TO RAISE FUNDS FOR.
I THINK THIS BOARD SHOULD DISCUSS WHAT OUR PRIORITIES WOULD BE FOR JANET YELLEN IS CHANCE SHE CAN GO OUT THERE.
SOUND, KEEPS THE ESKIMOS OR WHATEVER YOU SAY, BUT WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM DIRECTIONS, WHAT WE WANT THEM TO RAISE MONEY FOR.
I THINK THAT JUST A LISTING LIKE WE'VE DONE WITH THE DOUBLE-DIGIT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THEM SO THEY CAN GO OUT THERE AND A PURPOSE TO RAISE FOR.
IS THAT SOMETHING MR. CHAIRMAN THAT WOULD BE READY TO DISCUSS OR SHOULD WE DISCUSS THAT NOW?
>> FIRST THING THAT YOU CAN GET ABSOLUTELY HAVE THERE REALLY GYM FOR GENTLEMAN IS AMAZING AND ORANGE DIRECTORY.
IN THE FUNDING OF PUBLIC EDUCATION BOARD IS WORKING TO SEE BACKLASH, MISSION, VISION WORK AS WELL, AND SETTING THESE PRIORITIES.
I KNOW THAT THE LEADERSHIP OF WORRY AND JENNIFER THEY'LL BE ABLE TO HELP US WITH THAT AND THEY WOULD APPRECIATE HAVING THAT KIND OF DIRECTION.
[02:40:03]
>> ANY OTHER SCHEDULING ITEMS OR AGENDA ITEMS I THINK WHAT WE'D LIKE COME IN? SEEING NONE. WE'LL MOVE ON TO REVIEW A MEETING.
ANY COMMENTS ON THE MEETING TONIGHT? I'LL SAY THEY HAVE THAT MONTHLY CHAIRMAN ZOOM MEETING.
THERE WAS A BUNCH OF THE DIFFERENT BOARDS THAT THEY REVIEW THEIR SUPERINTENDENT ON MONTHLY BASIS.
>> [OVERLAPPING] SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA. [OVERLAPPING].
>> COURSE GOVERNANCE, 12 CATEGORIES AND THEY TAKE ONE CATEGORY EVERY MONTH.
IT ACTUALLY IS INTERESTING BECAUSE PARTICULARLY IF YOU'VE ABOARD THE ONES TO DO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S JOB BECAUSE YOU TAKE THAT CATEGORY AND THEN TALK ABOUT HOW THE SUPERINTENDENT IS DOING, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING AS A BOARD IN TERMS OF ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY.
>> YEAH, THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.
THEY ARE ALL THE FUNCTIONS LIKE IT.
THE OTHER PART THAT I FOUND FASCINATING WAS THERE WAS ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT THEY GO INTO EVERY SCHOOL AND THEY HAVE THE PRINCIPAL AND THE SUPERINTENDENT LEAVE THE ROOM, AND THE SCHOOL BOARD TELLS THE TEACHERS [LAUGHTER], TELL US EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO TELLS US WE'LL KEEP IT SECRET. [LAUGHTER].
>>I THINK THAT'S HOW THE GOVERNING STRUCTURE [LAUGHTER].
>> THAT WAS THE ONE I ENJOYED THE MOST. [LAUGHTER]
>>THAT'S REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT STUFF, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO THAT ON THE RIGHT DISTRICT.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME TO TALK ABOUT STUFF AND IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT FACILITIES TONIGHT AS WELL.
I SURE APPRECIATE THAT, AND EVERYBODY'S INPUT.
>> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INKLING THAT THEY'D LIKE TO LAST WINTER, SPRING IN THERE? I WAS JUST MAKING A JOKE ABOUT IT.. WE VISITED WITH PARENTS AND WE VISITED WITH TEACHERS.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO EVERY OTHER YEAR? AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD MAKE AN ANNUAL THING TOO.
WE WAIT TILL SCHOOLS ARE MORE OPEN.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WITH THE SPRING IN REGARDS TO BOTH TEACHERS AND THE PARENTS.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING OR WE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR WE CAN WAIT TILL SCHOOLS ARE MORE OPEN AND HOW IN-PERSON MEETINGS? JUSTINE CORNOR.
>> I WOULD ENTERTAIN THE IDEA.
I THINK THAT PEOPLE APPRECIATE IT, AND I AGAIN, GOING BACK TO TALKING ABOUT PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES I KNOW PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO GET BACK TOGETHER IN PERSON.
BUT I THINK IN THAT RESPECT, YOU CAN LINK ONTO A ZOOM MEETING WHILE YOUR DINNER IS COOKING, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO FIND CHILDCARE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS AND DO THAT AND YOU CAN COME ON AND THEY WEREN'T SUPER LONG I THINK IT WAS LIKE 30 MINUTES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW EVERYBODY ELSE FEELS ABOUT, BUT I DO THINK IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.
DID YOU WANT TO DO THE TEACHER ONE TOO?
>> YEAH, BEING THAT WOULDN'T BE A TOAST MAN.
>>YEAH, I WOULD AGREE. I LIKE THOSE AND I AGREE.
JUST LIKE PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. I CAN GET HIM.
YOU CAN HEAR IT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE IN A CONVENIENT SETTING FOR EVERYBODY.
YOU'VE GOT A UNION HELPS US GET THROUGH AND BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND I SHOWED IT ON TIME.
>> ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? YOU WANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT, FIND A GOOD TIME THAT MAYBE LATER IN THE SPRING, BUT [OVERLAPPING] WILL FIND SOME TIME.
I HAVE NOTHING FUR ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN?
>> AYE. [INAUDIBLE].
