Unknown speaker not human verified

We have received information on the Parent Academy, which was provided by the Office

Unknown speaker not human verified

of Emergency Management.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We had information on the 2015 Dairy Max Fuel Up Play 60 Breakfast Games, which were held

Unknown speaker not human verified

at NRG Stadium. We had results of the this school year's district wellness

Unknown speaker not human verified

fair. It was quite a bit expanded from previous years and very successful. We

Unknown speaker not human verified

also reviewed our procedures in assessing our responses on and the

Unknown speaker not human verified

effects of severe weather on district operations with regards to student

Unknown speaker not human verified

safety we looked at information on our districts diabetic care management

Unknown speaker not human verified

procedures and the regulations to prevent diseases amongst our student

Unknown speaker not human verified

population we discussed and received information on our food allergy policy

Unknown speaker not human verified

and we provided input amongst the members of the shack to the design and

Unknown speaker not human verified

the content that is included on the shack website we reviewed and approved

Unknown speaker not human verified

our current annual shack report that concludes our report we'd be happy to

Unknown speaker not human verified

answer any questions sir Adams thank you very much women and this is all your

Joe Adams not human verified

question I have is that noticed that one of the very first things you said miss

Joe Adams not human verified

Sawyer was that the was reviewed KDS these health service employee

Joe Adams not human verified

preparedness procedure in terms of responding to infectious diseases can

Joe Adams not human verified

Can you help me understand a little better, do we, is that a blanket deal or do you prepare our employees for different types of infectious diseases?

Joe Adams not human verified

You know what I mean? Some are worse, you know, if you get the measles versus you had a worse case, you know, some of the bad stuff going around.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Absolutely. From my recollection of the information, we have procedures in place that address different types of infectious diseases, different types of outbreak.

Unknown speaker not human verified

However, we do have a standard baseline of a checklist if you will of things that we look for to determine

Unknown speaker not human verified

at what point to escalate

Unknown speaker not human verified

alertness

Unknown speaker not human verified

Amongst both the student and the adult population within the district

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any other questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, Mr. President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When you refer to food day activities, what does that mean?

Unknown speaker not human verified

What does food day activities mean?

Unknown speaker not human verified

The food day that we had was back in October,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and that's when the district, in conjunction with physical education,

Unknown speaker not human verified

food services, health services, we held some instructional incentives

Unknown speaker not human verified

and instructional activities on campuses that highlighted the national food day

Unknown speaker not human verified

which like I said was held in October okay okay so we discussed all of the the things that would

Unknown speaker not human verified

be taking place within the district with the community members and and parents and so on yes

Unknown speaker not human verified

ma'am another question so thank you very much thank you very important report we have now

Unknown speaker not human verified

reach the consent agenda portion of our meeting like we're about seven items for

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mrs. Stevenson tonight all right keep us busy for a while

Unknown speaker not human verified

good evening president Moholsky board members superintendent Freyling I have

Unknown speaker not human verified

seven contracts to bring before you this evening for your consideration and I

Unknown speaker not human verified

have a lot of backup tonight a lot of experts in each of these contracts so we

Unknown speaker not human verified

should be able to answer any questions the first contract I have for your

Unknown speaker not human verified

consideration is for you to approve the job order contracting method for the

Unknown speaker not human verified

expansion of the Katy high school field house weight room and to award this

Unknown speaker not human verified

contract to do repair facilities through choice partners cooperative for the not

Unknown speaker not human verified

to exceed price of fifty four thousand nine hundred and fourteen dollars and

Unknown speaker not human verified

five cents this expansion is needed because of the growth of the programs at

Unknown speaker not human verified

Katy high school and to ensure that student safety is maintained at the

Unknown speaker not human verified

optimum level during the renovation at Katy high school the boys soccer team

Unknown speaker not human verified

was moved to a new and larger locker room leaving that space available for

Unknown speaker not human verified

this expansion with the assistance of the construction department plans were

Unknown speaker not human verified

were drawn up through PBK Architects and these were then sent over to Durapeer for a quote.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Durapeer is available to us again through a Jock contract through Choice Partners Facilities.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The contract came back and it was acceptable and our recommendation is that we proceed

Unknown speaker not human verified

with this contract and again the total scope of work or the cost for the scope of work

Unknown speaker not human verified

as presented is fifty four thousand nine hundred fourteen dollars and five cents

Unknown speaker not human verified

and funding for the project is already in the approved general operating fund

Unknown speaker not human verified

any questions I just have one what how is this how if at all will this impact

Unknown speaker not human verified

the the strength and conditioning camps at a high school this summer yes well

Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, President Michalski, you know, Katy High School has one of the biggest strength

Unknown speaker not human verified

conditioning programs that we have, and they have just about 1,000 students this past summer,

Unknown speaker not human verified

close to that the summer before.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So this will give them about 300 to 400 more square feet in there that is very much needed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But while it's being constructed this summer, is it going to have much impact?

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're anticipating that if things go well that we can actually get started after next week's meeting

Unknown speaker not human verified

and we're really going to try to have it completed before prior to the actual start.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We may run into a few days, but the hope is to get going now.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Very good.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you very much.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any other questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unheard?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The next contract I have for your consideration is to award a vendor to supply our PE uniforms

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the secondary campuses throughout the district.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We did require that all the vendors submitting submitted samples that we could look at and

Unknown speaker not human verified

tear apart and make sure that they were of the quality that we needed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And we had a committee do the review of all the proposals received and evaluate the uniforms

Unknown speaker not human verified

that were sample uniforms that were presented that was headed by Charlie

Unknown speaker not human verified

Stevens from our athletic department after all the evaluation was done and

Unknown speaker not human verified

presented to us the recommendation is to award the contract to Jerry's Sporting

Unknown speaker not human verified

Goods the total value of the contract is about seventy five thousand dollars give

Unknown speaker not human verified

or take a little and it will be funded from the general operating fund indoor

Unknown speaker not human verified

or special revenue funds as approved by the board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, the next contract I have is for the purchase of dairy products.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Again, this will provide the Nutrition and Food Services Department

Unknown speaker not human verified

with a contract from which milk products and cottage cheese can be purchased

Unknown speaker not human verified

and they are delivered directly to the schools.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The proposals were evaluated by representatives from the Nutrition and Food Services Department

Unknown speaker not human verified

with the assistance of the Purchasing Department. The criteria included product availability,

Unknown speaker not human verified

product quality, and overall product pricing. Based on the evaluation, the recommendation is

Unknown speaker not human verified

to award the contract to Oak Farms Dairy. Oak Farms Dairy has been providing these products

Unknown speaker not human verified

to our schools for a number of years and all their service and product quality has always

Unknown speaker not human verified

been satisfactory this will be a one-year contract with an option for two

Unknown speaker not human verified

one-year renewals total expenditures are estimated to be two million dollars per

Unknown speaker not human verified

year based on our previous experience and purchases are funded from special

Unknown speaker not human verified

revenue funds or the nutrition and food service budget okay thank you any any

Unknown speaker not human verified

questions and heard okay the next contract I have is to purchase

Unknown speaker not human verified

disposable food service products for our nutrition and food services department.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Again, we sent this contract out. We did have a list of specific items that we

Unknown speaker not human verified

wanted pricing on as well as we had a section for discounts. Section one is for

Unknown speaker not human verified

the specifically listed items based on usage history. Section two was the

Unknown speaker not human verified

discount section. For section one where our recommendation is to award as

Unknown speaker not human verified

specified on the tabulation attached and we did group the items where we had

Unknown speaker not human verified

where it would assist the schools with ordering efficiency and for section two

Unknown speaker not human verified

the recommendation is to award to all the vendors they all qualify to be KDI

Unknown speaker not human verified

SD vendors and for any procurements from that section we will do competitive

Unknown speaker not human verified

pricing to be sure we are getting best value this is a one-year contract with

Unknown speaker not human verified

an option for two additional one-year renewals we do expect the expenditures

Unknown speaker not human verified

to be 800,000 per year based on our previous 12 months

Unknown speaker not human verified

experience history and expenditures will be funded from the general operating

Unknown speaker not human verified

fund and our special revenue funds. Okay any questions? Thank you. All right the

Unknown speaker not human verified

next contract I have for your consideration is for the life safety

Unknown speaker not human verified

system upgrades at Felder and Hayes Elementary Schools. This contract is

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the emergency generators, the fire alarm systems, and intercom replacements

Unknown speaker not human verified

that were included in the 2014 bond program. These repairs are necessary

Unknown speaker not human verified

because the age of the present equipment and the fact that the alarm systems are

Unknown speaker not human verified

dated making it difficult to find parts to even repair them to keep them

Unknown speaker not human verified

operational. Replacement of this equipment will keep a high level of safety and

Unknown speaker not human verified

dependability at each campus. Because of the complexity of the systems, Mr. Brian

Unknown speaker not human verified

Hood with PBK assisted us with the design and we do have a representative

Unknown speaker not human verified

from PBK here this evening. They were engaged to develop the specifications

Unknown speaker not human verified

and assist the district in the evaluation of the proposals received.

Unknown speaker not human verified

received. After all was completed, the recommendation is to award to Piper Houston Electric LP and

Unknown speaker not human verified

the recommendation from Mr. Hood in the tabulation is attached for your review. The not to exceed

Unknown speaker not human verified

price is $472,321 which includes all payment and performance bonds and a $10,000 owner's

Unknown speaker not human verified

contingency for each site and it will be funded from the 2014 bond program mr.

Charles Griffin not human verified

Griffin this might be a question for PBK but when when they look at the

Charles Griffin not human verified

requirements say a filter does that include the portables or does it just

Charles Griffin not human verified

include the structure itself sorry thank you any other question unheard the next

Unknown speaker not human verified

contract I have for your consideration this evening is the award of the job

Unknown speaker not human verified

order contracting method and the use of KBR through the TCP and cooperative

Unknown speaker not human verified

network to complete the site preparation at the new student activity system

Unknown speaker not human verified

center. In order to proceed with the construction of this at the site of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

new student activity complex, we wanted to proceed with the additional site work

Unknown speaker not human verified

that must be completed outside of the construction contract. This work includes

Unknown speaker not human verified

the removal of trees, clearing and stripping, creating positive drainage on

Unknown speaker not human verified

the 58 acres, and the installation of 6400 linear feet of reinforced filter

Unknown speaker not human verified

fabric fencing. It also includes the installation of construction road access

Unknown speaker not human verified

road and entrance and weekly inspections of the site. Because of this work, the

Unknown speaker not human verified

type of work it is, there was no engineering required so after the

Unknown speaker not human verified

evaluation of the work needed and the time constraints involved, the district

Unknown speaker not human verified

felt it would be in our best interest to go out to look at job

Unknown speaker not human verified

order contracts for the solution and a quote was sought from KBR through the

Unknown speaker not human verified

cooperative purchasing network. KBR is very familiar with our district. They've

Unknown speaker not human verified

done a lot of work for us that requires, especially within those jobs that have

Unknown speaker not human verified

very tight time constraints. KBR does price their work based on the RS means

Unknown speaker not human verified

construction pricing, which is the way job order contracting is done, and that

Unknown speaker not human verified

is required under the state statutes. And this quote provided includes the

Unknown speaker not human verified

work for all, the scope of work presented, all required bonding and an owner's

Unknown speaker not human verified

contingency the total proposal is seven hundred and ninety eight thousand six

Unknown speaker not human verified

hundred dollars and this will be funded from the 2014 bond funds and or the

Unknown speaker not human verified

general operating funds as approved by the board any questions I do have one so

Unknown speaker not human verified

once assuming we approved this contract when can we expect to see some big

Unknown speaker not human verified

equipment out there moving dirt and Nathan can answer that I'm sure awesome

Unknown speaker not human verified

very much looking forward to that

Unknown speaker not human verified

okay okay any other questions unheard okay the last contract I have your

Unknown speaker not human verified

your consideration this evening is to consider approval of the job order

Unknown speaker not human verified

contracting method and again the use of KBR through the Cooperative Purchasing

Unknown speaker not human verified

Network that's TCPN to install a new directional sound system at Rhodes

Unknown speaker not human verified

Stadium. In researching the sound distortion problems with the current

Unknown speaker not human verified

sound system at Rhodes Stadium it was determined that a new directional sound

Unknown speaker not human verified

system would greatly improve the sound quality within the stadium. Accordingly

Unknown speaker not human verified

the construction contract contracted with the firm a debris incorporated to

Unknown speaker not human verified

analyze the problems and design a system that would provide optimal sound

Unknown speaker not human verified

production because installation of a new system involves several trades and

Unknown speaker not human verified

requires both electrical and rigging structures the construction department

Unknown speaker not human verified

sought a general contractor through a job order system to get this done in a

Unknown speaker not human verified

timely manner so the quotes were sought from KBR who again has always met our

Unknown speaker not human verified

time constraints for projects that we had that are complex and within very tight timelines.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And the quote came back at $420,000 which includes the installation of the sound system,

Unknown speaker not human verified

all required bonding and an owner's contingency.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is a not to exceed project at that cost and it will be funded from the 2014 bond funds

Unknown speaker not human verified

and or general operating funds as approved by the board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Board. Questions? Dr. Adams?

Joe Adams not human verified

It might be for Peter, but when we did the scoreboard, did we not upgrade the

Joe Adams not human verified

ground system at that time? I'm just trying to figure out why we're needing to upgrade

Unknown speaker not human verified

it again.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There was there there was a speaker system included as part of that it's it's what we would call an end fire system whereby the the sound is projected out direction just fires out from the end at that speaker down by that that the lambs board in discussions with Debbie Decker that that system has become problematic and non-reliable it needs to be replaced and in in working with the

Unknown speaker not human verified

with Adebri. Adebri is looking at acoustics in a holistic way for that

Unknown speaker not human verified

entire student activities complex and they are recommending more of a

Unknown speaker not human verified

directional sound system whereby it's not an end fire shooting down one end of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the from one end of the field but more so a pole and speaker system to direct

Unknown speaker not human verified

sound down onto the field so it's a different sound system that system is

Unknown speaker not human verified

supported by debbie decker and her staff and at the uh when we're complete construction on that

Unknown speaker not human verified

entire project we feel that that that the new end the new directional system will be uh better

Unknown speaker not human verified

functional for the overall complex mr burrow mr mcelwain on your proposal it says that you want

Unknown speaker not human verified

to put the directional sound system on only the east side the speakers on the east side of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the stadium wouldn't be better on both sides of the same we still have to with

Unknown speaker not human verified

this it's a not to exceed number we're anxious to get this work completed

Unknown speaker not human verified

before the football season so with approval of the board our next step

Unknown speaker not human verified

would be to work with a debris who's working on the acoustics on that and and

Unknown speaker not human verified

it obviously that the will look for their guidance they're well respected in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the field as far as acoustics go my understanding is is that they're still

Unknown speaker not human verified

assessing which where the speaker systems are going to be located that

Unknown speaker not human verified

Nathan did you want her Debbie maybe you wanted to add some the directional

Unknown speaker not human verified

speakers are actually on both the they believe they can use the the press box

Unknown speaker not human verified

on the west side and yes on the west side to actually hang the speakers but

Unknown speaker not human verified

on the visiting side there isn't a structure there so they're actually

Unknown speaker not human verified

going to have to erect poles so on the proposal when it says east side you're

Unknown speaker not human verified

just considering the fact that you have to write that's that's correct okay speakers would be on

Unknown speaker not human verified

both sides let's say east side right and they would just hang on the press box or they would

Unknown speaker not human verified

use the press box to erect instead of having to actually go into the ground like they're going to

Unknown speaker not human verified

have to do on the visiting side any other questions i have one um and and you may or may not know the

Unknown speaker not human verified

answer yet but um you know we're putting this in for for next football season obviously we're

Unknown speaker not human verified

starting to move dirt for the new stadium do we anticipate a comparable or or even the same kind

Unknown speaker not human verified

of sound system over there or is it too soon that's right as i mentioned mr mahalski that

Unknown speaker not human verified

that uh the debris which are well respected in the field as far as uh sound consultants they're

Unknown speaker not human verified

looking at the entire complex that's what our the intent is both the road stadium and the new

Unknown speaker not human verified

complex in a holistic way that's why we want that we don't want a separate sound

Unknown speaker not human verified

consultant so the end result will be the best system to mitigate and provide the

Unknown speaker not human verified

best acoustic environment that we can very good thank you any other questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

hey believe that is it for mr. Stevenson but mr. McEwen you will remain for one

Unknown speaker not human verified

more for a while oh here for a while yeah we're section two thank you

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you President Moholsky, Board Members, Superintendent Fraley.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The first item I have for you this evening is approval of two water

Unknown speaker not human verified

utility easements at the new junior high site within Hawks Landing subdivision.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Pleased to report that and I have to recognize Nathan's efforts on this this

Unknown speaker not human verified

is his project as well we've been challenged with the weather so to speak

Unknown speaker not human verified

coming out of the ground in that project. We I am pleased to report though that we

Unknown speaker not human verified

have been able to do two significant concrete pours for the floor slab at

Unknown speaker not human verified

that particular facility. What this particular item is is approval of a

Unknown speaker not human verified

water meter easement and an irrigation meter easement. Both these easements are

Unknown speaker not human verified

adjacent to Hawkes Prairie Parkway and the water line easements which is

Unknown speaker not human verified

there currently. This approval of these easements will ensure water service to

Unknown speaker not human verified

this particular site in a timely manner.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

None heard.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We will now move to 6.1, and I believe you will continue.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Moving over to the podium.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Once again, thank you, President Michalski, Board members, Superintendent Fraley.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm extremely pleased to bring to you this evening along with a number of

Unknown speaker not human verified

folks that I'll introduce the design for the South Transportation expansion for

Unknown speaker not human verified

the the South Transportation Facility. A little bit of background. The the board

Unknown speaker not human verified

as you know the southwest quadrant of the school district is one of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

fastest growing residential areas in the nation. Fort Bend County being one of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

fastest growing counties. That area has blossomed I guess that would be an

Unknown speaker not human verified

understatement with respect to residential development over the last

Unknown speaker not human verified

number of years and the board had the foresight back in 2009 actually was when

Unknown speaker not human verified

the design was approved for the first phase of south transportation the first

Unknown speaker not human verified

phase of construction completed and opened in January 2011 and the parking

Unknown speaker not human verified

expansion the first parking expansion was completed in December 2011 I am

Unknown speaker not human verified

pleased to bring to you this evening the design of the last major component of expansion for

Unknown speaker not human verified

this particular facility.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I brought with me this evening various support personnel who have a vested interest in this

Unknown speaker not human verified

particular facility.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Alan Anders, Cathy MacDonald, Mark Hopkins, all three of these folks have what you could

Unknown speaker not human verified

could call area operation centers located within this particular facility.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Back in November, this past November, we actually hired Huckabee and Associates

Unknown speaker not human verified

as the architectural firm to provide the design services for this particular

Unknown speaker not human verified

project. They were a new architectural firm we hadn't used before and we

Unknown speaker not human verified

welcomed them into the fold. This evening we have Gary Blanton is here who's the

Unknown speaker not human verified

president of Huckabee and Associates and we also have Doug Benson who's a

Unknown speaker not human verified

principal with the firm and David Valtierra who's an associate principal with the firm.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have been working with these folks closely since November.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They have been working closely with the support departments on this particular project and

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'd like to, before we go any further, possibly maybe start with Alan to just maybe come up

Unknown speaker not human verified

and say a few words about the needs and the support for this particular project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening President Moholsky, board members and superintendent Fraley. In January of 2011

Unknown speaker not human verified

South Transportation, what we call satellite center, officially opened and at that time we

Unknown speaker not human verified

moved 38 routes and we had about 60 buses there. As of today we have 79 routes and around 120 buses

Unknown speaker not human verified

there and I would say continue to grow but we have no place to go and until we

Unknown speaker not human verified

build out so also tonight the staff from South Transportation I have a Jim Porter

Unknown speaker not human verified

the assistant director Linda Holder the driver manager from South Transportation

Unknown speaker not human verified

and Steven Loveless the fleet supervisor here with us also and since the the

Unknown speaker not human verified

opening of South Transportation Center we had the opportunity to visit several

Unknown speaker not human verified

transportation centers throughout the Houston area including Sy Fair, Spring,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Conroe, Clear Creek, New Caney, Humble and several others. And as a result of this

Unknown speaker not human verified

like I said we got a lot of great ideas that we wanted to to put forth in this

Unknown speaker not human verified

project. And since the the bond authorization in November of 2014, my

Unknown speaker not human verified

staff has met several times with Scott Walker and the staff from Huckabee and

Unknown speaker not human verified

Associates. They were very receptive to incorporating ideas into this project

Unknown speaker not human verified

and believe me we had we had many. The transportation staff has been through

Unknown speaker not human verified

the renovation of West Transportation, we've been through the renovation of

Unknown speaker not human verified

East Transportation and now to be a part of the build out of South Transportation

Unknown speaker not human verified

is is just tremendously exciting for us and we're looking forward to it thank

Unknown speaker not human verified

you thanks Alan I'd like to ask as you can see from the renderings we'll get

Unknown speaker not human verified

into it through the detailed walkthrough of the design that there's actually a

Unknown speaker not human verified

and this I should reiterate that this is consistent back in oh nine when we

Unknown speaker not human verified

presented the design of the first phase to the board at that particular time, there was

Unknown speaker not human verified

a master plan associated with that project. That master plan actually included an

Unknown speaker not human verified

is consistent with what you see this evening. The only additional portion is

Unknown speaker not human verified

is in a portion that that Mark will talk about in a second but I'll

Unknown speaker not human verified

turn it over to Kathy to spot and talk briefly about the need for the satellite

Unknown speaker not human verified

maintenance facility. Good evening President Mahulski, members of the board

Unknown speaker not human verified

and Superintendent Fraley. We're very excited that we're going to have a new

Unknown speaker not human verified

maintenance center. Currently our south maintenance team is housed in a

Unknown speaker not human verified

temporary location behind Cinco Ranch High School. They don't have a shop to

Unknown speaker not human verified

work out of or a lay down space or storage so our other teams and their

Unknown speaker not human verified

satellites they have room to store commonly used parts and equipment and

Unknown speaker not human verified

things that they might need where our south maintenance team is forced to come

Unknown speaker not human verified

back and forth to the shop a lot so we have a lot more drive time for that team.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This shop is similar in design to the shops that we already have in the east and the west quadrants.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we're very excited about it. We think it's going to make us a lot more efficient on that end.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And looking forward to the opening.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'll ask Chief Hopkins to come up and speak about the satellite law enforcement facility.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Sure. The Law Enforcement Center opened in 2002 and it was originally designed

Unknown speaker not human verified

with anticipated growth of 10 years. At 13 years we have overgrown it. It is

Unknown speaker not human verified

all it's located on the north side of the freeway and with the traffic

Unknown speaker not human verified

improvements, the increase in traffic, our Southwest quadrant officers spend a lot

Unknown speaker not human verified

of time traversing to and from the office. This facility will allow us for

Unknown speaker not human verified

to house ten officers and two supervisors for that patrol area in

Unknown speaker not human verified

that southwest quadrant. Their travel time will be cut immensely to and from

Unknown speaker not human verified

desktop services. There will be no prisoner processing there. It's only

Unknown speaker not human verified

office space and a place for parents and officers to meet at a neutral

Unknown speaker not human verified

location if you will so we're also very excited about having a third of our

Unknown speaker not human verified

fleet down in the southwest quadrant and we'll be able to have a patrol car

Unknown speaker not human verified

stored there and fuel everything we need to operate in that quadrant will be

Unknown speaker not human verified

there at that South Transportation Center and before I turn it over to the

Unknown speaker not human verified

Huckabee folks to walk you through the design I just want to indicate to from a

Unknown speaker not human verified

phasing perspective this is a timely point in time to develop this particular

Unknown speaker not human verified

phase of the project insofar as as you know a few years ago was when Falcon

Unknown speaker not human verified

Landing Boulevard was completed and extended to the west so to pick up on

Unknown speaker not human verified

what Chief Hopkins said the reaction time across that southwest quadrant of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the district will be greatly improved in this regard so at this particular point

Unknown speaker not human verified

in time I'll invite Doug Benson and David Valtierra to come forward and walk

Unknown speaker not human verified

walk you folks through the design of the complex thank you good evening board members and

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendent it's a pleasure to be here tonight we thank you for the opportunity to present to you

Unknown speaker not human verified

tonight the Katy South transportation expansion project and it's located on Falcon Landing next

Unknown speaker not human verified

to Rylander Elementary starting with the existing site plan you can see here on the left side that's

Unknown speaker not human verified

the existing parking lot for the buses and the existing fuel center as well to the far right

Unknown speaker not human verified

see Rylander Elementary School moving on to the proposed site plan we see that there are three

Unknown speaker not human verified

entry points into the site and starting on the very far right side you can see the proposed

Unknown speaker not human verified

daycare center in the middle right you see the transportation and then in the center the existing

Unknown speaker not human verified

fueling center and then on the far left is the new proposed maintenance building as well going

Unknown speaker not human verified

Going back over to the daycare, you see approximately 30 parking spaces to the north of the facilities

Unknown speaker not human verified

to support staff and visitors.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Down in the middle of it, there is 117 general parking spaces that support the bus drivers

Unknown speaker not human verified

as well as any additional visitors to the site.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The main entrance to the transportation facility is on the east side facing into that parking

Unknown speaker not human verified

lot.

Unknown speaker not human verified

To the north, there's 44 parking spaces that support the police department and staff.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We'll get into that in a second in terms of access point.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And then on the south side we have additional parking for mechanic and fleet parking as well

Unknown speaker not human verified

Moving west you have approximately

Unknown speaker not human verified

250 bus parking spaces that's been expanded from what you have right now, and you also have your fuel conversion renovation of the fuel

Unknown speaker not human verified

Center and then on the far west side you have again one access point

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's a gated storage behind the building

Unknown speaker not human verified

But it has a drive-through maintenance bay and then some parking for visitors and for this staff as well

Unknown speaker not human verified

Moving on to the floor plans, we see here the transportation center.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's divided into two parts.

Unknown speaker not human verified

On the left side, you have the maintenance base.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There's 14 of them with complete drive-through with overhead doors going north-south there.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And then over on the right side, you have the administration portion of the facility.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are four entry points into that administration area.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The one on the far right in the center is the main entrance from the parking lot.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and in the northeast corner you have a secure controlled entry into the police

Unknown speaker not human verified

department and then at the far top you have again your access for staff and

Unknown speaker not human verified

then at the very bottom you have your entrance and exit for the drivers going

Unknown speaker not human verified

out to the buses there's also a mechanical yard on the top there to

Unknown speaker not human verified

serve both of the buildings to chillers and a backup generator inside the

Unknown speaker not human verified

building we also have four user areas in the lower right hand side there you see

Unknown speaker not human verified

the drivers training and an also assembly area with the kitchenette in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the background and above that there are the ten stations that were already

Unknown speaker not human verified

referenced for the police department there with a conference room and an

Unknown speaker not human verified

office for two and everything you see in the blue is a part of the administration

Unknown speaker not human verified

of it the very top are the offices for the director and the reception in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

middle there you have the routers that support the drivers as well and in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

very bottom you see the lead drivers dispatch and the manager for the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the drivers as well in gray are all the support spaces for the multi-user

Unknown speaker not human verified

restrooms in the kitchenette as well on the other side you have like I said the

Unknown speaker not human verified

14 bays in the far left you have a two ton overhead crane for doing engine

Unknown speaker not human verified

repairs you have the oil change pit and then in the middle you have parts

Unknown speaker not human verified

receiving on the top there with its own separate garage or overhead door and in

Unknown speaker not human verified

storage on the bottom in the lube room as well plus an office shower and

Unknown speaker not human verified

restrooms to support that whole facility

Unknown speaker not human verified

moving on to the fuel center at the very top you see the two new 20,000 gallon

Unknown speaker not human verified

storage tanks above ground one is for unleaded the other is for diesel in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

center you see the two new dispensers that are dual dispensers for both

Unknown speaker not human verified

unleaded and diesel as well and then the bottom where it's colored this is the

Unknown speaker not human verified

renovation portion of the project where we're converting the existing

Unknown speaker not human verified

maintenance bays into a new tire repair shop and at the very bottom a wash bay

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the buses as well now moving on to the maintenance part we like I said

Unknown speaker not human verified

before you have a complete drive-through for vehicles and support of any

Unknown speaker not human verified

equipment that you need to be and bring in for repairs pretty simple building

Unknown speaker not human verified

with a break room office conference room and storage as well and that is on the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the far west side of the property finally the daycare center has two

Unknown speaker not human verified

classrooms with a common entry point with the reception there's a director's

Unknown speaker not human verified

office in the middle and then also storage room that is shared between the

Unknown speaker not human verified

two rooms the day care for the top side will accommodate approximately 45 people

Unknown speaker not human verified

and that's from 18 months to five years and the bottom daycare room would be

Unknown speaker not human verified

from six years old to through fifth grade and has capacity of about 60

Unknown speaker not human verified

people and each of the two classrooms have their own restrooms multi-user

Unknown speaker not human verified

restrooms plus staff restrooms as well as you can see in the back side on the

Unknown speaker not human verified

far right there they have access out to a secured playground for the different

Unknown speaker not human verified

age groups moving on to the perspectives in the foreground here you see the

Unknown speaker not human verified

daycare in the lower left and the two playgrounds that I just spoke about in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the middle there you have a parking lot that serves the main entrance which is

Unknown speaker not human verified

right in the east side of the transportation building which is the

Unknown speaker not human verified

next building up and then in the next building down you see the fueling center and far off in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the distance that little building is your maintenance building as well you see also in this

Unknown speaker not human verified

rendering that the transportation is completely secured with fencing around it and so is the

Unknown speaker not human verified

daycare as well which abuts to the elementary school as well with fencing this is on the north

Unknown speaker not human verified

side of the transportation this is the entry for receiving into the 14 Bay

Unknown speaker not human verified

areas and you can see the first overhead door there that is your chiller yard

Unknown speaker not human verified

right behind the brick wall there and then where you see the Katie symbol that

Unknown speaker not human verified

is the one of the main entrances into the building this is the daycare center

Unknown speaker not human verified

again this is all tilt wall the transportation building and the daycare

Unknown speaker not human verified

will be tilt wall with a brick wainscot and you can see the main entrance with a

Unknown speaker not human verified

drop-off lane in front of the daycare this is looking across from the daycare again on the

Unknown speaker not human verified

far left is the parking with the main entrance in the middle there in the corner you see the

Unknown speaker not human verified

police entrance again secured entrance and then you see also here the fencing that allows you

Unknown speaker not human verified

into the with a secure gate into the north parking lot moving into the interiors this is the assembly

Unknown speaker not human verified

and training room for the transportation building showing with the kitchenette in the background

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is the four-year vestibule reception area in the daycare center with the two classrooms on each

Unknown speaker not human verified

side and showing the little cubbies for the students as well. With regards to schedule, we should be

Unknown speaker not human verified

done with documents by end of May. It'll go into review with the KDISD for through I believe October

Unknown speaker not human verified

and then in November it will go out to bid and then you'll have a 12-month construction period

Unknown speaker not human verified

and should be completed by the end of December of 2016 that concludes our

Unknown speaker not human verified

presentation for tonight for the South transportation thank you very much open

Unknown speaker not human verified

it up for any questions or I have a couple questions um first I've had the

Unknown speaker not human verified

opportunity to be a parent volunteer at Seven Lakes High School which requires a

Unknown speaker not human verified

lot of times a police officer on duty and they always have to calculate in

Unknown speaker not human verified

their time when they can be there you know like you're saying the transportation time so I think

Unknown speaker not human verified

it's great that this neck of that neck of the woods will have them a police department area

Unknown speaker not human verified

what was the reasoning for not having any kind of a processing area at this facility like facility

Unknown speaker not human verified

say on France Road primarily it's in Fort Bend County and Fort Bend County procedures are a

Unknown speaker not human verified

little different than Harris County that we don't have to process them in our

Unknown speaker not human verified

facility we can take them directly to the to the Forbidden County processing

Unknown speaker not human verified

center both the juveniles and adults okay I just have one more question it's

Unknown speaker not human verified

an easy one I just sometimes numbers stand out more to me there's 14 bus

Unknown speaker not human verified

bays so how many buses total will that well are this equivalent of 14 bus bays

Unknown speaker not human verified

equal how many buses will be housed in a 14 best how many can they be working at

Unknown speaker not human verified

at the same time mm-hmm there'd be 14 there's seven so it's one per okay you can get two

Unknown speaker not human verified

doubled up on each one of those bays so you have 14 total buses that can be in there at the same

Unknown speaker not human verified

time how they operate will probably be just slightly different than that they won't probably

Joe Adams not human verified

always have 14. thank you mr adams got a couple questions for you as well back to the engineering

Joe Adams not human verified

aspect of this the detention pond that we have is it large enough as it

Joe Adams not human verified

currently exists to handle the additional concrete that we're going to

Unknown speaker not human verified

putting on the ground in our calculations that we've done with the

Unknown speaker not human verified

civil yes it was master plan for the additional concrete as well in the

Joe Adams not human verified

location in which we have this pond there is access from residential areas

Joe Adams not human verified

have we considered fencing in the detention pond?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Peter, do you want to answer?

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think there is a degree of fencing around, Scott.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yeah, we'll review that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

That could be something that we could as an alternate during the project.

Joe Adams not human verified

in talking about fencing are the is is the back fence completely a precast panel all the way

Unknown speaker not human verified

along no on the rent on the rendering on the plan you can see that what the proposal is in

Unknown speaker not human verified

this particular design is it's a solid fence behind if you want to call it behind that

Unknown speaker not human verified

transportation building because you've got transportation bays there where they're going

Unknown speaker not human verified

going to be using air hammers and things the existing fence is a chain link fence

Unknown speaker not human verified

existing chain link fence we are contemplating possibly asking for an alternate to change out

Joe Adams not human verified

that fence I was just approaching it from a friendly neighbor attitude as far as maybe

Unknown speaker not human verified

we we should look at something like that I think we will mr. Adams asked for an alternate for the

Unknown speaker not human verified

for a solid fence all the way down that that line any other questions further

Joe Adams not human verified

I'd like to first welcome Huckabee to the team and have you guys on board

Joe Adams not human verified

working with us we're pleased what we've seen so far and I'm not surprised at all

Joe Adams not human verified

and things for Adams I think your point about that fencing was rendered here now

Joe Adams not human verified

is to accommodate a good neighborhood concept mr. Mack one these things when

Joe Adams not human verified

look at maybe the rest of fencing as well on that I guess it's a south side

Unknown speaker not human verified

of that property correct yes that's correct what we'll do is as part of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

construction bidding phrase we'll ask for an alternate for that for that so we

Joe Adams not human verified

bring that back to the board and very pleased with incorporating maintenance

Joe Adams not human verified

as knees and the police farmers knees as well and just a warning first development

Joe Adams not human verified

folks saw that training room with the kitchenette and I'm thinking so what do

Joe Adams not human verified

you guys doing all summer long can they use that space so you'll be hearing from

Unknown speaker not human verified

them also I think between this facility and the Robert Shaw Center there's

Unknown speaker not human verified

plenty of flexible space now in the district okay likewise I would like to

Unknown speaker not human verified

welcome I could be to the team and look forward to seeing this product get built

Unknown speaker not human verified

on the ground so appreciate it thank you thank you very much

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. McElwain, I believe you have one more item with us.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's acceptable for me to remain at the podium on this particular item.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're extremely pleased this evening to bring a recommendation for a construction manager for the 2014 bond program project,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the softball renovations at both Katy High School and Taylor High School.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As you know, in November we brought to the board a number of projects that we recommended for the CM at Risk delivery method.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This was one such project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We are recommending proposals.

Unknown speaker not human verified

RFP went out on this particular project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We received two proposals.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Dramalla was the highest rated on this particular project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and I should mention that the superintendent that's been recommended

Unknown speaker not human verified

for this particular project and obviously for us when we're reviewing

Unknown speaker not human verified

projects the team that's assigned is extremely important for us. The

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendent is John Boyd, is recommended as John Boyd. John Boyd was a

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendent for Tremella that constructed Seven Lakes Junior High

Unknown speaker not human verified

School. That was a project that had a very short timeline associated with it

Unknown speaker not human verified

and he was able to manage that project extremely well so we are recommending to you this evening

Unknown speaker not human verified

that we award a contract construction manager risk contract to dramatic construction for the

Unknown speaker not human verified

renovation of the softball complexes at both katie high school and taylor high school

Charles Griffin not human verified

mr griffin is the renovation keeping the softball field at katie high school in the front of the

Charles Griffin not human verified

school are we going to the transition where we put our complexes it's staying in the front of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the school yeah I think we still name the softball field the front yard in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

baseball field the backyard any other questions okay we're gonna do this

Unknown speaker not human verified

because I forgot something in between six point one I forgot to ask you if

Unknown speaker not human verified

there were any objections to moving this item to consent you're done so that is

Unknown speaker not human verified

good and the same for six point two are there any objections to moving this

Joe Adams not human verified

item so this president exists for a next one so if I could add there were lots of

Joe Adams not human verified

conversations about relocating and about master planning the entire conflicts

Joe Adams not human verified

area just came down to dollars well we truly defend in the span at this time

Joe Adams not human verified

so here you know I'll be hard though will I be hard we will move six point

Unknown speaker not human verified

point one and six point two to consent thank you very much mr. McElwain thank

Unknown speaker not human verified

you next item this evening will be presented by dr. Kim Lawson the ed flex

Unknown speaker not human verified

individual program ik waiver she will have to explain what that is to us all

Unknown speaker not human verified

right good evening president Mahalski members of the board and superintendent

Unknown speaker not human verified

Fraley I'm here tonight seeking your approval for the district to apply for

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the EdFlex programmatic waiver.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is not a new waiver for us,

Unknown speaker not human verified

but one that has to be renewed every three years.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This waiver allows us to better serve students

Unknown speaker not human verified

in need of academic interventions

Unknown speaker not human verified

through the Title I school-wide programs.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Title I funds are distributed on a per-pupil basis,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and current federal law requires school districts

Unknown speaker not human verified

to allocate these funds based on the number

Unknown speaker not human verified

of students residing in a school district's attendance zone.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Many of our school-wide Title I programs

Unknown speaker not human verified

are cluster programs such as pre-kindergarten and bilingual and in

Unknown speaker not human verified

these programs students are transferred to other schools to meet their

Unknown speaker not human verified

programmatic needs with this federal provision in place the district would be

Unknown speaker not human verified

required to allocate the funds to the students home campus as opposed to the

Unknown speaker not human verified

campus where the students attend and ultimately served the state has the

Unknown speaker not human verified

authority to waive provisions of certain federal programs in order to assist

Unknown speaker not human verified

school districts in designing and implementing programs in ways that best

Unknown speaker not human verified

meet the students needs therefore Katie ISD is recommending seeking your

Unknown speaker not human verified

approval to waive the provision requiring us to allocate title one funds

Unknown speaker not human verified

based on student residents and allow us to allocate funds based on where the

Unknown speaker not human verified

students attend school you'll find a copy of the waiver in your board packet

Unknown speaker not human verified

and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have thank you dr. Lawson

Unknown speaker not human verified

any any questions is there any objection to moving this item to consent okay

Unknown speaker not human verified

unheard thank you very much next item tonight will be presented by Miss Elaine

Unknown speaker not human verified

Robertson on good evening president Halsky mr. mr. Fraley and school board

Unknown speaker not human verified

members we're here to present to you tonight the Northwest cooperative deaf

Unknown speaker not human verified

and Elaine Robertson is going to give you some details about that cooperative agreement.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening. Currently, KDISD is a member of the Northwest Harris County Cooperative for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We've been in this arrangement for over 25 years, and the purpose of the SSA is to provide efficient and effective services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students needing this instructional arrangement.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Currently, we only have a few students at the secondary level who access this cooperative,

Unknown speaker not human verified

but most of our students access these services in Katy.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The SSA contract was in need of updating and it has been updated recently and all member

Unknown speaker not human verified

districts are required to sign the updated SSA.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Chair Greg Musil.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any objection to moving this item to consent?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you very much.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Next item this evening, we will talk about the 2015-16 Honors Pre-AP Courses

Unknown speaker not human verified

identified as exempt from No Pass, No Play, presented by Ms. Rhonda Ward.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, President Michalski, Mr. Fraley, and members of the Board.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Tonight, I bring forward for your consideration the list of courses

Unknown speaker not human verified

courses that our district would like to add to the UIL list for no pass, no play exemption.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The UIL identifies dual credit courses and advanced placement courses as being exempt

Unknown speaker not human verified

from disqualifying a kid from eligibility for UIL activities and the school district

Unknown speaker not human verified

can add courses. The list is the same as it has been in several years. The pre-AP courses

Unknown speaker not human verified

in our core content areas are listed no changes and I'm happy to answer any

Unknown speaker not human verified

questions you might have questions any objections to moving this item tickets

Unknown speaker not human verified

up thank you very much

Unknown speaker not human verified

our final two items on our discussion action or will be presented by his

Unknown speaker not human verified

butterfield welcome thank you trustee

Unknown speaker not human verified

good evening president mahal ski trustee superintendent fraley

Unknown speaker not human verified

we have two grants for ratification tonight the first one is 220 500 from the kdisd educational

Unknown speaker not human verified

educational foundation

Unknown speaker not human verified

inspiring imagination grants

Unknown speaker not human verified

We also have a ten thousand dollar grant for ratification

Unknown speaker not human verified

For spark Park a school park program to be built at Windbourne Elementary

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I believe that dovetails into the presentation from last month from dr. Minster about that program and

Unknown speaker not human verified

the anticipated

Unknown speaker not human verified

facilities that will come along from that funding

Unknown speaker not human verified

and I think that next Monday there is a presentation from the foundation as well

Unknown speaker not human verified

so if you're correct for ratification tonight any questions related to okay

Unknown speaker not human verified

well we are I'm not going to ask you if you have any objections to moving this

Unknown speaker not human verified

item to consent because we are the Education Foundation will be will be

Unknown speaker not human verified

here next next week for our meeting and as it's customary we will leave this as

Unknown speaker not human verified

a discussion action item to take action at that meeting in their presence so

Unknown speaker not human verified

thank you very much then on to budget amendments for tonight we have 13

Unknown speaker not human verified

amendments one general operating fund amendment is to related to the summer

Unknown speaker not human verified

summer camp at the Shaw Center that is anticipated for this summer. This will recognize revenue

Unknown speaker not human verified

budget of $4,000 and also create the expenditure budget of $4,000 that will be necessary to

Unknown speaker not human verified

run that camp this summer. The remaining 11 general operating fund amendments are transfers

Unknown speaker not human verified

of budget between different functions. And of all of these amendments, there is no impact

Unknown speaker not human verified

to the general operating fund fund balance.

Unknown speaker not human verified

There is, however, one amendment for the debt service fund.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The final amendment is an increase to the debt service expenditure budget

Unknown speaker not human verified

in the amount of $4,670,493.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This relates to the 2014-15 bond transactions,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the bonds that we've issued since the start-up of school this year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This expenditure budget will provide for the payments due on the new money bond and the refunding bonds issued to lower interest rates on existing debt.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Additionally, the debt services other sources and uses category is recognizing $437,984 related to the same bond sales.

Unknown speaker not human verified

sales. Approval of this amendment will result in a decrease to the debt service fund balance

Unknown speaker not human verified

of $4,232,509. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you. Any questions?

Unknown speaker not human verified

I have one as it relates to the debt service fund balance because certainly property tax

Unknown speaker not human verified

Tax appraisals have been going out around town, and many increases have been seen again.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When will we kind of, I guess, have these, I guess the certified, I guess that's probably August or so,

Unknown speaker not human verified

when we get the certified appraisals and kind of know what to expect with regards to revenue

Unknown speaker not human verified

or debt service related to the current tax rules?

Unknown speaker not human verified

we we did receive preliminary values that we're working on putting together

Unknown speaker not human verified

now as of April 30th we won't receive a certified values until July the 25th

Unknown speaker not human verified

July 20 and then Harris County's won't be certified until sometime later in

Unknown speaker not human verified

August okay are those early estimations in line with what we had projected or

Unknown speaker not human verified

above or below they are in line but above but above okay thank you very much

Unknown speaker not human verified

we'll look forward to to seeing the certified ones in a few months any other

Unknown speaker not human verified

questions any objections to moving the budget and made 2015 budget amendments

Unknown speaker not human verified

to consent unheard thank you very much miss butterfly

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. We now move to the discussion portion of our agenda.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have one item on the agenda tonight and it is a discussion of the Bond Review Committee

Unknown speaker not human verified

and will be presented by Mr. Fraley.

Joe Adams not human verified

Mr. Thank you, Mr. Domahawksy.

Joe Adams not human verified

I'll hand off to Mr. Connelly in just a moment, but I want to first of all thank the community

Joe Adams not human verified

for passage of the bond back in November 2014 bond a tremendous investment this

Joe Adams not human verified

community all driven by growth period and something that the board asked for

Joe Adams not human verified

and that we promised the community in terms of transparency was to have a bond

Joe Adams not human verified

review committee this is a bond review committee not a bond authorization

Joe Adams not human verified

committee or bond development committee review and we're just getting to the

Joe Adams not human verified

the point now to where we'll begin having some things to start reviewing.

Joe Adams not human verified

So this is the proposed charter. It's pretty much aligned with what

Joe Adams not human verified

we've done with the 2010 bond as modified previously from the

Joe Adams not human verified

2006 bond. I think 2010 was a better process

Joe Adams not human verified

that evolved into a better process and I think this is a continuation of that

Joe Adams not human verified

with opportunity for the board to modify it as the board so chooses.

Joe Adams not human verified

And we have a timeline as well of when we see kicking this off.

Joe Adams not human verified

but I can just want to we can thank community for

Joe Adams not human verified

Passing the bond and this is our response to assure you that the bond is is expended and carried out

Joe Adams not human verified

Based upon what the ask was

Joe Adams not human verified

No

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank You superintendent fairly good evening president, Mahowski board members

Unknown speaker not human verified

like to walk through the two documents you have in front of you one's a timeline and the other is the

Unknown speaker not human verified

draft of the bond review committee charter and

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I'd like to start out with the timeline.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And it's just great that we're able to sit here and talk about the bond program

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the projects that are rolling out and the ones that you heard about tonight

Unknown speaker not human verified

and see the progress.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's going to be great to share that with the committee.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So to go to the timeline, and again, this is a draft.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Back in September, we talked initially about what a bond review committee might look like.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think I gave you a copy of the 2010 draft.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think I gave you a copy of the 2014 bond committee charter.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I thought it was a little too early to talk about that then,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and it was deferred until now, which is about the right time

Unknown speaker not human verified

and kind of in keeping with what we did in 2010,

Unknown speaker not human verified

if you take a look at this timeline.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So tonight we'll talk about the charter, if possible,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and if we can approve the charter next month,

Unknown speaker not human verified

then we can move along to the next step in the process and that is the publication of process or how to communicate that to

Unknown speaker not human verified

the public

Unknown speaker not human verified

Typically in the past we solicited members from the public so it would have to be some time to get those nominations to review them and determine the potential committee members.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Once that's done you can send out the invitations and get the acceptance or not and we can pick the alternates to fill those positions.

Unknown speaker not human verified

An organizational meeting could be held this year.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I penciled in here in December.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And following the first real meeting would be early next year, perhaps February, where

Unknown speaker not human verified

we talk about in detail about the projects and the financial overview.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So that's, there's a lot that would go after that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

you know with the last bond committee bond review committee we had 14 members and we met we met each

Unknown speaker not human verified

quarter until all the projects that substantial completion so if I could just so we can have the

Unknown speaker not human verified

discussion here in a bit like to walk through the the Charter and this won't take long because it's

Unknown speaker not human verified

only three pages so it's pretty straightforward the the purpose is to review the status of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

capital projects bond expenditures schedules timelines of the bond projects

Unknown speaker not human verified

the committee councils and provides input to the administration but it does

Unknown speaker not human verified

not have management or policy setting responsibilities I should point out that

Unknown speaker not human verified

if you see something highlighted in red it's a change from the 2010 2010 charter

Unknown speaker not human verified

organization here you see in this draft comprised of 30 members and a committee

Unknown speaker not human verified

chairperson so you could have 31 members committee chairperson appointed by the

Unknown speaker not human verified

board president 14 members of the committee appointed by the port board of

Unknown speaker not human verified

trustees with each trustee appointing two members again the committee

Unknown speaker not human verified

functions as an administrative committee and is responsible to the

Unknown speaker not human verified

superintendent and also to the general public membership if you take a look at

Unknown speaker not human verified

where they might come from members from the 2014 bond committee business

Unknown speaker not human verified

organizations parents and guardians of children enrolled in our schools members

Unknown speaker not human verified

members of the community at large.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Committee members shall not be current employees

Unknown speaker not human verified

of the district.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Should a committee member move outside the district,

Unknown speaker not human verified

resign, fail to appear,

Unknown speaker not human verified

otherwise become unable to perform the superintendent,

Unknown speaker not human verified

may declare the position vacant

Unknown speaker not human verified

and appoint another qualified person

Unknown speaker not human verified

unless that was a nominee from the trustee,

Unknown speaker not human verified

in which case that trustee would be able

Unknown speaker not human verified

to select the replacement.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Appointments for two years,

Unknown speaker not human verified

members could be reappointed. We anticipate that the bond committee, bond review committee will stay in effect at least until the 2014 bond projects have reached substantial completion.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The objective, to ensure that taxpayer dollars are expended as framed by the bond project list and are managed efficiently.

Unknown speaker not human verified

efficiently. Following that you see a whole list of duties and responsibilities, just, and a lot of those are for

Unknown speaker not human verified

clarification. The primary duties and responsibilities, reviewing the financial status of the bond program,

Unknown speaker not human verified

periodic reviews, monitoring the progress of the capital projects, reviewing and responding to any proposed

Unknown speaker not human verified

change changes and reviewing and responding to any projects that are proposed to be added or deleted

Unknown speaker not human verified

There's a list there of things that are beyond the scope of this committee and that's things like approval of contracts change orders

Unknown speaker not human verified

Picking the paint or there's a number of other things in there

Unknown speaker not human verified

District support as usual we will appoint the liaison and Lisa Cassman is back there in the audience

Unknown speaker not human verified

Not by accident today, but she's

Unknown speaker not human verified

He's the one that I'm looking for to lead the liaison effort between the chairman of the committee.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And ethics policy, you see something on the bottom there, really just a couple things.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This is not an all-exclusive list.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Uphold the law and to put the interests of the districts above personal interests.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So that's the charter that I bring in draft form tonight.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Looking forward to the discussion so we can craft hopefully what?

Unknown speaker not human verified

What we can move forward next month

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank You mr. Gunnell, I guess we'll open it up to questions and comments

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Griffin mr. Gunnell

Charles Griffin not human verified

On one section you say these are the duties and responsibilities and then right below it you say the committee is not responsible

Charles Griffin not human verified

it kind of

Charles Griffin not human verified

By doing it two ways you create some gray zones

Charles Griffin not human verified

if to me if you had this is what you're responsible for and only if anything

Charles Griffin not human verified

that falls outside the realm of that they're not responsible but when you

Charles Griffin not human verified

list it but I'm afraid somebody will say well it says it's I'm not right so if

Charles Griffin not human verified

I'm not responsible for it then I am responsible for it and somebody might

Charles Griffin not human verified

have the potential to read in there and think that they have more authority than

Charles Griffin not human verified

than this actually gives them.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yeah, I appreciate that thought.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When we came up with this list in 2010,

Unknown speaker not human verified

it was because we had folks who we were working with

Unknown speaker not human verified

who were uncertain of what they were responsible for

Unknown speaker not human verified

and were taking us down roads of discussion

Unknown speaker not human verified

that really were beyond the scope of the committee.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we decided that if we put it in the charter,

Unknown speaker not human verified

then it would be clearer that this is not what we expect them to look at so

Unknown speaker not human verified

for example you may see number number 13 directing the activities of staff or

Unknown speaker not human verified

consultants you know we had suggestions from from some folks early on in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

process that would in fact lead you to believe that they wanted to approach

Unknown speaker not human verified

the consultants and not get us to where we needed to be as far as the review of

Joe Adams not human verified

the projects what I think maybe saying is if it's not listed specifically as

Joe Adams not human verified

being forbidden then there could the gray areas someone may decide well then

Joe Adams not human verified

we can do that we need to have some language that this is not an exhaustive

Joe Adams not human verified

list of things but it buried being articulated because when I came on board

Joe Adams not human verified

in 2010 I inherited to myself I inherited the 2006 committee and it had

Joe Adams not human verified

a lot less direction and a lot of tighter restrictions also though.

Joe Adams not human verified

That was creating some challenges for the district and losing credibility with the

Joe Adams not human verified

committee. We thought we should spell it out a little more but we may want to put

Joe Adams not human verified

something that kind of says this is not an exclusive list so to speak. Try to

Joe Adams not human verified

handle that gray area but we wanted to be very specific about there were some who

Joe Adams not human verified

would only look at what they were responsible for and then since you didn't have

Joe Adams not human verified

the not responsible for they were venturing to those areas quite a bit so we learned we may want

Joe Adams not human verified

to articulate that but we may want to have something that's not quite as as finite language

Charles Griffin not human verified

wise well i love the language the committee for example is not responsible for that way you have

Charles Griffin not human verified

given them a certain amount of power and these are examples that your authority doesn't come into

Unknown speaker not human verified

that's a great recommendation we can make that change easily

Joe Adams not human verified

Mr. Adams.

Joe Adams not human verified

Mr. Gunnell, this is just a 30,000-foot level,

Joe Adams not human verified

but we talk about that the organization is comprised of 30 members

Joe Adams not human verified

and a committee chairperson,

Joe Adams not human verified

and the committee chairperson shall be appointed by the board president.

Joe Adams not human verified

But at the same time, we talk about this as an administrative committee.

Joe Adams not human verified

Do you see any conflict of interest there between the board?

Joe Adams not human verified

And this is nothing against you, Brian.

Joe Adams not human verified

just in general, but just a board president appointing someone as opposed to the superintendent appointing someone as a chair?

Joe Adams not human verified

What I would add, I think it really adds a little more of, I don't want to say a credibility issue,

Joe Adams not human verified

it's just that ultimately the board is responsible for the bond, ultimately.

Joe Adams not human verified

And this gives the board, along with the 14 appointed,

Joe Adams not human verified

and I would in in past and language that in here though the board president I we

Joe Adams not human verified

got a conversation with that chairperson and I would hope to have the same

Joe Adams not human verified

conversation now so that we don't have someone that could be a problematic

Joe Adams not human verified

meeting to spell that out but I like for the board to still have some skin in the

Joe Adams not human verified

game well I guess a question that I could flip that question on you and say

Joe Adams not human verified

that if this is committee that you look at the bond issue shouldn't it come in

Joe Adams not human verified

to be reporting to the board.

Joe Adams not human verified

Ultimately, what they would do is they will be providing reports to the board,

Joe Adams not human verified

and then you'll have probably, if not quarterly, you would definitely have the final report,

Joe Adams not human verified

or at least the annual and then the final report.

Joe Adams not human verified

And by having an administrative committee, then you remove all the restrictions

Joe Adams not human verified

of when they can meet and where they can meet.

Joe Adams not human verified

That's correct.

Joe Adams not human verified

How they can meet.

Joe Adams not human verified

Good point.

Joe Adams not human verified

And also by having the board president appoint the chairperson

Joe Adams not human verified

and the board appoint 14 members of the committee,

Joe Adams not human verified

this is not a handpick by the administration only.

Joe Adams not human verified

Correct.

Joe Adams not human verified

Because ultimately the administration is doing, we're doing all the work.

Joe Adams not human verified

And this kind of increase, I think, it checks and balances.

Joe Adams not human verified

Okay.

Joe Adams not human verified

That's fine.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It almost seems as if it's kind of a hybrid committee.

Joe Adams not human verified

Yeah.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Which I think could work, certainly.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Very well.

Joe Adams not human verified

And if I could point out also, this, in the past, we've had, I think, 14 member committee members.

Joe Adams not human verified

Now we've more than doubled that.

Joe Adams not human verified

You have about look at the core membership for the bond committee you have 30%

Joe Adams not human verified

numbers and 15% of all about 200 total

Joe Adams not human verified

Because pretty representation would there would there be any restrictions?

Joe Adams not human verified

I mean do you have to have a quorum to meet or anything on that under this?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Last last time around they they did when

Unknown speaker not human verified

Dr. Harrison ran at the he ensured he had a court forum for each meeting before he started

Unknown speaker not human verified

of them and i'll probably add before people see that this this typically is not a deliberative

Unknown speaker not human verified

group i mean they will be reviewing unlike the bond committee where they actually had to come

Unknown speaker not human verified

up with a package and figured out what went in and what went out they'll be reviewing so it's

Unknown speaker not human verified

it's a little different um also the uh the bond chair uh or his liaison would uh hold to make

Unknown speaker not human verified

sure that we have the folks coming for the meeting nights and not advance a notice and expect to get

Joe Adams not human verified

the rsvp oh what i am mr president is uh since this remotely the committee could be asked to

Joe Adams not human verified

consider such as what we the board did with the elementary school that was not including the bond

Joe Adams not human verified

but savings allowed it you won't you will want to have adequate members of the committee present to

Joe Adams not human verified

have a conversation about that modification of the whole package that came before the board for board

Joe Adams not human verified

board approval. So we don't speak hard about a quorum. Typically the only action they would

Joe Adams not human verified

take would be either making some type of a change, and that would be rare. I don't expect

Joe Adams not human verified

to have the same opportunity we had last time around with the pricing we're seeing right now.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I

Unknown speaker not human verified

Were members I would direct your attention a little bit toward the

Unknown speaker not human verified

Membership cell consists of interested persons from the following groups and just really I think I guess it's a question you

Unknown speaker not human verified

You know are these the categories that we we saw it was you can see that one was struck I guess from the 2010

Unknown speaker not human verified

2010 charter, is that correct, Mr. Gannell?

Unknown speaker not human verified

It is.

Unknown speaker not human verified

When we did it back in 2010, we did have members of the bond committee who were engineers.

Unknown speaker not human verified

My expectation is that we will have plenty of professional folks who will be participating

Unknown speaker not human verified

here.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Seeking one out in particular didn't seem to be worth the hunt.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, so given that we're expanding the group itself, you just feel comfortable that we

Unknown speaker not human verified

will yeah have that expertise within the group okay or there any other questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

related to this document given the timeline that was also proposed we will

Unknown speaker not human verified

be looking to approve this charter next month everyone in agreement to to

Unknown speaker not human verified

move forward with that with the with the draft that we have here are there any specific comments

Unknown speaker not human verified

i have one question on the membership shall consist of interested persons from the following

Unknown speaker not human verified

groups on number three it says members who are parents or guardians of a child enrolled

Unknown speaker not human verified

in the district and also active in a parent teacher organization

Unknown speaker not human verified

so

Unknown speaker not human verified

if they're not on the bond committee if they weren't on the bond committee and we're looking

Unknown speaker not human verified

for just another parent at a school it needs to be a parent at a school that's

Unknown speaker not human verified

also active in the PTA our PTO if that's the that that's the way this draft is

Unknown speaker not human verified

written that carried over from 2010 and we can modify that as the board's wishes

Joe Adams not human verified

I think what I'm hearing you say you want to be careful but we don't restrict

Unknown speaker not human verified

folks right that's what yeah that's what I don't want it to I don't want it to

Unknown speaker not human verified

restrict folks i don't want it to be i mean this spells out that it's in a parent teacher

Unknown speaker not human verified

organization which maybe that's just my brain goes to as a pta or a pto are we just or is it

Unknown speaker not human verified

encouraged that if we choose a parent from a campus that they're in a booster club or their

Unknown speaker not human verified

party you know i just want to make sure that we don't limit ourselves to who we who we're picking

Unknown speaker not human verified

i don't want to be held to oh well you said you were going to pick parents that were part of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

PTO or the PTA not parents that were part of the athletic booster club I just

Unknown speaker not human verified

want to make sure we cover our bases there we're invested we ended with after

Joe Adams not human verified

the word district because typically you want you want folks at this level to

Joe Adams not human verified

actually be in modern Ola somewhat the district but uh we have a lot of

Joe Adams not human verified

talented folks who have not able to get involved actively because our volunteer

Joe Adams not human verified

stuff is pretty robust your robust but they could or about time to come in

Joe Adams not human verified

evenings for these meetings well I'm fine if we remove that like with a term

Joe Adams not human verified

restriction right just ended parents regardless of child rules in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

district period the better respond there yeah because I think we did have some

Unknown speaker not human verified

some parents that were on the bond committee that maybe don't serve in an

Unknown speaker not human verified

an organization at the school because they work full-time and and they were

Unknown speaker not human verified

able to actually serve on the bond committee because they could come in in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the evenings and participate so I mean I know that that is specifically

Unknown speaker not human verified

identified I just I think we need to just be cautious to not get tied up in

Unknown speaker not human verified

that and have to answer questions it looks like a restriction if we put the

Joe Adams not human verified

period at the end of the district that's you right miss president when I look at

Unknown speaker not human verified

at the list I mean I see this and I agree in part but the next one says

Unknown speaker not human verified

community members at large I don't think this is a list of they have to be in all

Unknown speaker not human verified

of these things they can be from one of the others I think this kind of

Unknown speaker not human verified

encourages as board members to seek out people who have an active role in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

district because they'll have more knowledge so it doesn't prohibit us from

Unknown speaker not human verified

seeking out someone who may not be part of one of these organizations

Joe Adams not human verified

as I recall miss president I think that's what we talked about is that

Joe Adams not human verified

number four catches everyone else yeah they could be parents but that's the

Joe Adams not human verified

community at large girls they just have not gotten really involved they could be a grandparent

Joe Adams not human verified

but the reason to make certain that we do pick folks and honor those folks who

Joe Adams not human verified

have volunteered and gotten involved I think that's how we meant that last time

Unknown speaker not human verified

well the way this is reading to me is yes number four is kind of the catch-all

Unknown speaker not human verified

it but but the other is kind of a guideline of the types of groups of

Unknown speaker not human verified

people that we are looking for you know to all this yes it's been if I'm

Unknown speaker not human verified

understanding what Courtney is saying and I I questioned it as well I think

Unknown speaker not human verified

maybe we do say actively involved in some campus way but maybe it's the tie

Unknown speaker not human verified

in a parent-teacher organization that makes it sound directly as a PTA or PTO

Unknown speaker not human verified

and not recognizing the booster clubs and the you know the mom who just wants

Unknown speaker not human verified

to be working in the workroom making copies I mean it is someone who is

Unknown speaker not human verified

dedicated to two campuses and has kind of a familiar understanding of what day

Unknown speaker not human verified

in day out campus life looks like I think the term parent teacher is where

Unknown speaker not human verified

it makes it sound a little more exclusive instead of more broad-reaching

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think is what I'm thinking you were saying all right so we either need to

Unknown speaker not human verified

expound on number three and include all of those things are ended like if I

Unknown speaker not human verified

could propose language that says something like and I'll work work this

Unknown speaker not human verified

as I work the draft members who are parents or guardians of a child enrolled

Unknown speaker not human verified

in the district and who are actively involved in campus or district

Unknown speaker not human verified

activities or words kind of like that let me be careful because a lot of

Joe Adams not human verified

most involved activities that we don't necessarily cotton to too well we might

Joe Adams not human verified

recognized volunteer activity okay something that would don't have to dish

Unknown speaker not human verified

this recognizes I think you understand the intent from I think what the board

Unknown speaker not human verified

is saying here is just wordsmithing it to the to match that intent so uh this

Joe Adams not human verified

president with your permission we can post something and keep the same time

Unknown speaker not human verified

and approve me next month okay well I was about to address the timeline just a

Unknown speaker not human verified

bit and I was going to say if we can get to this and we're ready this evening is

Unknown speaker not human verified

it too soon to actually put this on the agenda for discussion action next week

Unknown speaker not human verified

and if so what how would that affect the rest of the timeline and then the reason

Unknown speaker not human verified

that reason I asked that mr. cano is on the timeline that you proposed here

Unknown speaker not human verified

you've got the organizational meeting the first organizational meeting on

Unknown speaker not human verified

December 2015 I think a month earlier would be much better if we could first

Unknown speaker not human verified

of all December is holiday time and a lot of things going on but November will

Unknown speaker not human verified

be like the one-year anniversary of the bond referendum and I think that if we

Unknown speaker not human verified

could move that up a month I think it would be preferred we can move that up a

Joe Adams not human verified

about but more mr. Adams I just had one final question about that in regards to

Unknown speaker not human verified

the item I can wait on it too well I guess I was gonna ask the question kind

Unknown speaker not human verified

of of the board itself is is this something we would like to try to see

Unknown speaker not human verified

get done and action taken next week or does does it even matter for the

Unknown speaker not human verified

timeline whether we take action next week or are in June I can meet in

Joe Adams not human verified

November timeline either way okay mr. Adams the committee shall meet as yes

Joe Adams not human verified

still such time as substantial amount of the projects are done what is the word

Joe Adams not human verified

substantial can you give me a definition of that you know substantial completion

Unknown speaker not human verified

means that generally everything's done at the school except for the punch list

Unknown speaker not human verified

We've moved into the school, we have the certificate of occupancies.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You know projects run on for many months after that if you do the closeout.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So when those kids are in, it's time to think about stopping the committee work because

Unknown speaker not human verified

really there's very little for them to do at that point.

Joe Adams not human verified

So that would be the last project that we'd be doing when the kids are...

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

That's right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Right. And Peter, when is our last elementary school finish?

Unknown speaker not human verified

August 2018.

Unknown speaker not human verified

2018

Unknown speaker not human verified

So this is a two-year term that could be

Unknown speaker not human verified

reappointed so there could be some turnover during the course of the I

Unknown speaker not human verified

Would expect you will have some turnover

Unknown speaker not human verified

What about what is it contemplated on I guess the chairman is

Unknown speaker not human verified

That going to end it two years as well. It could be reappointed or is

Joe Adams not human verified

That's the life sentence mr. President

Joe Adams not human verified

I think it's at the will of the President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

At the will of the President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay.

Joe Adams not human verified

Okay.

Joe Adams not human verified

Mr. President, if I'm hearing you correctly, if we can work on the language on number three

Joe Adams not human verified

and get this to the Board in the next day or so, and have it for actions coming Monday,

Joe Adams not human verified

is that okay with the Board?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Is that what we're hearing?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Is there any objection to that?

Unknown speaker not human verified

If we can get the language right, I think we just assume let's get it started and work on that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

move on to the next step if I could mention one thing to that does I need to

Unknown speaker not human verified

do a little more drill down on the timeline to make it a little more

Unknown speaker not human verified

concrete you just saw months there I I need to get a little more specific okay

Unknown speaker not human verified

yeah that'll be fine and like I said I think you know if you could even earlier

Unknown speaker not human verified

that's great but I would like to I would prefer not to have the first meeting in

Unknown speaker not human verified

December just because of the month that it is and yeah okay very good any other

Unknown speaker not human verified

comments or questions okay that will wrap that part of the meeting up our

Unknown speaker not human verified

next board meeting will be a week from tonight Monday May 18th 2015 our regular

Unknown speaker not human verified

board meeting and there being no further business we are adjourned at 8 40 p.m
