Item 6.1

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, Board Members, I'll direct you to the report section of our evening.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Our first report is from Mr. Peter McElwain, and he's going to talk to us about how our

Unknown speaker not human verified

projects are going and where we are getting ready to open school in just a few weeks.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, Mr. McElwain.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, President Fox, Board Members, Mr. Gannell.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Four weeks, 28 days, 672 hours.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Needless to say, the opening of school is just right around the corner.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm here this evening to just give you a brief update with respect to the

Unknown speaker not human verified

projects that are that are completing the major projects for this school year

Unknown speaker not human verified

namely the three new schools and the four major renovation projects. Before I

Unknown speaker not human verified

get on to these specific projects I need to mention that obviously there's a

Unknown speaker not human verified

tremendous amount of other work going on around the district and an interesting

Unknown speaker not human verified

fact and I was speaking with the business office a week or so ago and as

Unknown speaker not human verified

you know we work closely with the business office and they indicated to me

Unknown speaker not human verified

that in the month of June there was approximately 32 million dollars of bond

Unknown speaker not human verified

expenditures processed which equates to larger than 1.1 million dollars per day

Unknown speaker not human verified

of work that's happening around the district well beyond just these projects

Unknown speaker not human verified

that need to open open for the start of school. Like I said I just wanted to give

Unknown speaker not human verified

you a brief update. I thought this slide was interesting. This is actually a shot

Unknown speaker not human verified

of Patterson Road out by Highway 6 and Attucks Reservoir. Not from this past

Unknown speaker not human verified

spring when we received all the rain. It was from last spring where we received

Unknown speaker not human verified

like the spring of 2015 when we received that amount of rain. So it goes without

Unknown speaker not human verified

those saying that would that the team has been confronted with a tremendous

Unknown speaker not human verified

number of challenges the weather just being one with the amount of you know

Unknown speaker not human verified

historic rainfall that we received which has really challenged the teams with

Unknown speaker not human verified

respect to schedules on projects also there's a extreme labor shortage at the

Unknown speaker not human verified

sub trade level within the city of Houston there's a tremendous amount of

Unknown speaker not human verified

work going on bond elections a number of districts have major bond election work

Unknown speaker not human verified

that's currently underway as well as a tremendous amount of commercial

Unknown speaker not human verified

industrial development in the City of Houston. So there's a limited number of

Unknown speaker not human verified

sub-trades competing for all that amount of work. Also the compressed schedule

Unknown speaker not human verified

that we've had. If you can recall after the bond was approved with respect to

Unknown speaker not human verified

Maydale Jenks Elementary School, the board opted to put a ESL program in

Unknown speaker not human verified

that particular campus which resulted in a large footprint by approximately 12

Unknown speaker not human verified

additional classrooms. So that that extended and compressed the schedule to

Unknown speaker not human verified

a certain degree. An analogy popped in my mind over the weekend with respect to

Unknown speaker not human verified

with respect to all of these challenges that we have before you before us and

Unknown speaker not human verified

not just a horse race but a steeplechase and as you know a steeplechase is a

Unknown speaker not human verified

horse race but the horses are actually hurtling over hedges and barriers and

Unknown speaker not human verified

moats and that pretty well captures what we've been what we've been tackling this

Unknown speaker not human verified

year. Now the good news is is as a district knows we we're extremely

Unknown speaker not human verified

fortunate. I've been with the district this is my 19th year it's hard to

Unknown speaker not human verified

believe and I must say that this without a doubt has been my most challenging

Unknown speaker not human verified

year from a project scheduling perspective and a workload perspective

Unknown speaker not human verified

but one thing that the district should be extremely proud of is the collective

Unknown speaker not human verified

team that we have working on these bond projects not just the the staff within

Unknown speaker not human verified

my department the project managers the associate the associated consultants but

Unknown speaker not human verified

also the support staff in the organization with respect to the various

Unknown speaker not human verified

supports departments that are under mr. Gunnell food services purchasing

Unknown speaker not human verified

maintenance and then also the technology department under Dr. Alauni. Many of

Unknown speaker not human verified

these folks have we've all worked together we've all worked together on

Unknown speaker not human verified

on various tight schedule projects in the past namely I'll use for example

Unknown speaker not human verified

West Memorial Junior High and May Creek Junior High. So without further ado I'm

Unknown speaker not human verified

going to quickly move through some of the projects that need to complete and I

Unknown speaker not human verified

brought some images along to show where we're at on the particular projects and

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I should mention, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention,

Unknown speaker not human verified

that an integral part of the team on these particular projects,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the four renovations, the four renovations and the three new schools are the principals.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Carrie Lowry is here this evening.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As you know, she's the principal of Bethke, Catherine Bethke Elementary School.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Without their support and patience on these projects,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the sick they won't be as successful as as we we definitely are planning so the

Unknown speaker not human verified

first project is Jenks elementary school as you know this particular school is

Unknown speaker not human verified

located within the Cinco Ranch Northwest subdivision within Fort Bend County this

Unknown speaker not human verified

particular project we are scheduling to have inspections by the fire marshal

Unknown speaker not human verified

this week that you'll see this comment on the on the various projects because

Unknown speaker not human verified

until we can actually occupy the building actually physically occupy we

Unknown speaker not human verified

can move furniture in we can do some setup work we cannot move staff in until

Unknown speaker not human verified

we have what's what's called a certificate of occupancy from the fire

Unknown speaker not human verified

marshal now it's not unusual for us in the first pass not to receive that

Unknown speaker not human verified

oftentimes because when they're looking at it at a school that has hundreds

Unknown speaker not human verified

possibly thousands of components there may be some detectors that are not

Unknown speaker not human verified

functioning accurately so we have to have the fire marshal back again. So the

Unknown speaker not human verified

fire marshal is anticipated to visit Jenks Elementary this week. Furniture

Unknown speaker not human verified

deliveries began as I mentioned on July 19th. We've been receiving the furniture

Unknown speaker not human verified

into the cafeterias. The staff is set to move in next week pending approval of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the certificate of occupancy or receiving certificate of occupancy. When

Unknown speaker not human verified

I say the staff move in is set that's essentially the administration is

Unknown speaker not human verified

moving into the school. What you're seeing on these particular photographs

Unknown speaker not human verified

is the the front of the school in that upper left photo. You have a typical

Unknown speaker not human verified

classroom in the in the middle photograph and that's the entrance hall

Unknown speaker not human verified

into the down from the entrance into the into the school.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Bethke Elementary which is a sister school to Jenks Elementary School as you

Unknown speaker not human verified

know is adjacent to the Ventana Lakes subdivision up in the northern sector of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the district. County inspections once again are scheduled this week. Fire

Unknown speaker not human verified

Marshal and Health Service, the Health Department actually also has to approve

Unknown speaker not human verified

various aspects of of the building and so that's a integral part of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

inspections as well. Furniture deliveries once again began on July 19th and also

Unknown speaker not human verified

similarly the staff is scheduled to move in August 1st which is next week pending

Unknown speaker not human verified

occupancy permits so that may have to fluctuate somewhat but we'll position

Unknown speaker not human verified

ourselves to if the fire marshal does identify some work that needs to be

Unknown speaker not human verified

completed to move on that as quickly as possible all of these projects both the

Unknown speaker not human verified

new schools and the renovation projects have seen work happening seven days a

Unknown speaker not human verified

week long hours long hours and in these particular photographs the lower left is

Unknown speaker not human verified

the media center slash library. The upper right is the front of the school and the

Unknown speaker not human verified

lower right photograph if you can recall in the design we have collaborative

Unknown speaker not human verified

large group collaborative areas in each of the classroom wings so that view is

Unknown speaker not human verified

down one of the classroom wings with the collaborative area with that

Unknown speaker not human verified

checkerboard carpet on on on the right of the photograph. Tye's junior high

Unknown speaker not human verified

High School actually has received certificate of occupancy and health

Unknown speaker not human verified

inspection. Furniture and technology deliveries are still in progress and the

Unknown speaker not human verified

administration has moved in. So Chris Mitzner and her staff are actually

Unknown speaker not human verified

located in the school as we speak. Teachers are scheduled to move in

Unknown speaker not human verified

towards the end of next week. You can see in the photograph, the

Unknown speaker not human verified

photograph on the left is the Main Street. You can see the architecture of

Unknown speaker not human verified

vernacular associated this school is similar to Tompkins insofar as many of

Unknown speaker not human verified

these students will graduate out of Ties Junior High and move on to Tompkins so

Unknown speaker not human verified

there'll be a thread of continuity there. You see on the upper right hand

Unknown speaker not human verified

photograph the the front of the school with the sign it's James and Sharon Ties

Unknown speaker not human verified

Junior High and in the lower right hand photograph is the cafeteria. You can see

Unknown speaker not human verified

the the cardboard protection is still on the floor it will be lifted this week

Unknown speaker not human verified

it's as I mentioned we're when we're receiving furniture it typically is

Unknown speaker not human verified

delivered into the cafeterias mr. McIlwain yes thank you for bringing us

Unknown speaker not human verified

three very different pictures of each school which are really great just

Unknown speaker not human verified

because I like a reference the do you know the mascots so Jaguars jinx

Unknown speaker not human verified

jaguars is that right and bethke bison what's ties titans titans titans i like it thank you

Unknown speaker not human verified

and we were we are working now that the now that that uh that the mascots have been identified like

Unknown speaker not human verified

with respect to uh ty's junior high as you know in that footprint in the rotunda there's an

Unknown speaker not human verified

opportunity so we in the in the interim we have carpet in that location but our hope is to get

Unknown speaker not human verified

that in as soon as possible. And I mentioned the renovation. So those are

Unknown speaker not human verified

the three new school projects. Okay the renovation projects at the four campuses

Unknown speaker not human verified

are extremely aggressive schedules. You know we've been there before. The various

Unknown speaker not human verified

support departments are aware of what we're confronted with. Obviously when the

Unknown speaker not human verified

public drives by these schools and they look at the calendar and they say look

Unknown speaker not human verified

there's only a limited number of days left, they need to realize that there's a

Unknown speaker not human verified

tremendous amount of work happening in these campuses because my project

Unknown speaker not human verified

managers, myself, we're out on the weekends at these particular campuses. We

Unknown speaker not human verified

see the efforts that are being expended there. So we're talking on a

Unknown speaker not human verified

typical renovation, we're looking at seven days a week probably from about

Unknown speaker not human verified

seven in the morning till probably nine or ten o'clock at night there'll be

Unknown speaker not human verified

subterrains in those particular schools also with respect to Cimarron Elementary

Unknown speaker not human verified

which is a comprehensive renovation of an elementary school we really can only

Unknown speaker not human verified

do it in one summer it's not cost effective and it's really not really

Unknown speaker not human verified

feasible to come back in a second summer to do that so we have limited time and

Unknown speaker not human verified

as you know these projects what we tend to do is by jumpstart in it that's great

Unknown speaker not human verified

so once again I have to recognize the creation of the other schools

Unknown speaker not human verified

schools back to it so we're in elementary as a bell actually was it you

Unknown speaker not human verified

You know, we work with Sinead through most of the project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And Yashana Hunt is the new principal at Cimarron.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we'll be working with her as we complete these particular projects.

Unknown speaker not human verified

These photographs, if it's not out of time, these photographs were just taken back in the last week.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But if you drive by Cimarron now, you will see the signing on the front of Cimarron now to give a sense of identity to the campus.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Lower left, the classroom, you can get all the case of cabinetry in the classrooms.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You can see one of the main hallways within the campus.

Unknown speaker not human verified

campus. County inspections are scheduled for the first week next week with staff set to move in August 15th.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're on a very tight window, not we've been there before, we've been there before. It's an extremely tight window.

Unknown speaker not human verified

If you can recall the various other projects that we've done, elementaries, May Creek, Sundown, those projects where we've gone in and done

Unknown speaker not human verified

comprehensive renovations. There's, when you look at it, there's probably only

Unknown speaker not human verified

about 10 working weeks within the summer to complete these projects. So once again

Unknown speaker not human verified

we're going to be working closely with the campuses. Will everything be done on

Unknown speaker not human verified

all these projects? No, no. There's always, if you've built a house you know there's

Unknown speaker not human verified

a punch list. In these particular cases because of the challenges that we've had

Unknown speaker not human verified

is that there'll be areas of work that we'll need to complete after school

Unknown speaker not human verified

starts but we'll be doing it after hours. We'll be working with the campus to

Unknown speaker not human verified

minimize any disruption with the goal being at the end of the day these space

Unknown speaker not human verified

these schools are transformational in nature with respect to

Unknown speaker not human verified

the end result. Memorial Parkway Elementary, so Cimarron

Unknown speaker not human verified

Elementary is all one summer completed this year or in the fall once

Unknown speaker not human verified

we finish all of the punch list. Memorial Parkway Elementary completes next summer.

Unknown speaker not human verified

this is the first phase this summer. So this summer we're talking about the gym,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the cafeteria, the kitchen, there's some art rooms and what's happening out there

Unknown speaker not human verified

now is we're actually doing the building pad work for the building addition which

Unknown speaker not human verified

will happen during the course of the year. So in the photographs the lower

Unknown speaker not human verified

left is the soon-to-be kitchen area of the campus. That picture was taken about

Unknown speaker not human verified

a week and a half ago. The central plant in the upper right photograph in the art

Unknown speaker not human verified

room in the lower right hand corner. And once again move-in is set to begin

August 10th pending occupancy permits. So you can see my hair's already gone about

Unknown speaker not human verified

as gray as it can go so but obviously without the team honestly you know I

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think that I'm convinced that we.

Unknown speaker not human verified

got the best team to complete these bond programs like honestly honestly.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Memorial Parkway junior high I'm sure many of you have driven by Memorial

Unknown speaker not human verified

Parkway junior high another transformational renovation because when

Unknown speaker not human verified

the students and the staff go back and I have to you know recognize Emily because

Unknown speaker not human verified

Emily Craig's been been there for the duration of this particular project she

Unknown speaker not human verified

She has been tremendously passionate about the project.

Unknown speaker not human verified

She's been very transparent.

Unknown speaker not human verified

She's been taking photographs, progress photographs,

Unknown speaker not human verified

posting it on their school Facebook,

Unknown speaker not human verified

assuring the community and the parents that, yes, we are going to get there

Unknown speaker not human verified

and that this is going to be truly a great facility.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So county inspections are scheduled for the second week in August.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Furniture technology staff move in set to begin August 15th.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So it's a very tight window and I knew that it would be.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And once again, without the support of the principals, the success will not be there.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Lower left-hand photograph, as you know, there's a building addition along Highland Knolls.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So where on the old footprint you had those dead-end classroom wing corridors,

Unknown speaker not human verified

now there's a classroom additional on the backside that includes art rooms.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and on the lower left photograph that's the Family and Consumer Science Lab.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay and the lower photograph that's one of the art rooms that looks out to the

Unknown speaker not human verified

exterior that door there opens into the courtyard into the art courtyard and the

Unknown speaker not human verified

upper photograph is the front elevation of the of the school. So those those

Unknown speaker not human verified

windows those new windows along that area is the reconfigured administration

Unknown speaker not human verified

area. You can see the front entry it's starting to take on a sense of identity.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So when we're complete this summer then we're going to have a sense of identity

Unknown speaker not human verified

at the front of the school. Also we're doing work in the library. It's not shown

Unknown speaker not human verified

in these photographs. We're doing work in the library this summer and the athletic

Unknown speaker not human verified

area is being completed. The work in the athletic area is being completed this

Unknown speaker not human verified

summer as well. Next summer when we during the year we actually stage into

Unknown speaker not human verified

into some of the classroom areas.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And also next summer, we actually get into the cafeteria.

Unknown speaker not human verified

If you can recall, we reversed the stage orientation

Unknown speaker not human verified

on this particular campus.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Miller Career Center, lower left photograph.

Unknown speaker not human verified

This project completes in its entirety in December.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As you know, we've got the second floor shell space

Unknown speaker not human verified

it's being constructed and will be completed in December but there's a

Unknown speaker not human verified

tremendous amount of work that's happening on the first floor that needs

Unknown speaker not human verified

to complete by the start of school. You can see in this photograph that when we

Unknown speaker not human verified

did the original Miller addition back in 2008 we actually structurally planned

Unknown speaker not human verified

above the ceiling for a new stairway off of Main Street. So you can see in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

left photograph that the beginning stages of that new that new stairway off

Unknown speaker not human verified

of Main Street. Also on the lower photograph, if you can recall that there

Unknown speaker not human verified

was sheetrock up there. There wasn't open down. So when we finish the project it'll

Unknown speaker not human verified

be similar to some of our high school projects where you have a gallery you

Unknown speaker not human verified

can actually look down onto Main Street and it captures some natural light into

Unknown speaker not human verified

the second floor and some of those spaces. The photograph in the upper

Unknown speaker not human verified

right is right behind the staircase which is the expanded Commons area

Unknown speaker not human verified

because Miller never had a Commons or a gathering area for collaboration and

Unknown speaker not human verified

this is a this is the expanded collaboration area and beyond that are

Unknown speaker not human verified

some administrative offices which are being reconfigured and also this summer

Unknown speaker not human verified

the veterinary science classrooms are being completed this summer as well so

Unknown speaker not human verified

that was a quick journey down down give you an idea of the Odyssey that we've

Unknown speaker not human verified

we've been living with respect to the three new schools and the building addition work.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Not to mention, as I indicated earlier, all of the other work going on.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But our focus now obviously is getting these projects completed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Catherine Bethke had the opportunity last week to tour through, two through with Carrie

Unknown speaker not human verified

and some of her team leaders through that campus and she was extremely pleased with

Unknown speaker not human verified

what she saw.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's truly, and I think, I don't want to speak for Kim Lawson, but Kim was actively involved at the elementary level in the development of these new learning environments.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I know that we finish these projects and we actually leave.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm sure that they'll be sad to see us go, but when we actually leave these particular campuses, these will be facilities that truly the district can be proud of.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I'd be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Charles Griffin not human verified

Madam President.

Charles Griffin not human verified

Mr. Griffin?

Charles Griffin not human verified

Mr. McElwain, thank you.

Charles Griffin not human verified

I think you used the word team like 10,000 times.

Charles Griffin not human verified

I apologize.

Charles Griffin not human verified

No, no, thank you.

Charles Griffin not human verified

I would imagine it would be a lot easier if you just took the project yourself and completed

Charles Griffin not human verified

them and you didn't take anybody else's input.

Charles Griffin not human verified

But thank you for choosing the hard road and the work that you do is awesome.

Charles Griffin not human verified

Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I appreciate that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you, Mr. Griffin.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you for bringing the presentation.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I just talked to Mr. Gunnell about it last week, like, who gets ready?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Could we kind of see how things are going?

Unknown speaker not human verified

So it's great for you to bring us these pictures and give us an update on, I know, how hard you work.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I'm excited, and I appreciate that, Ms. Fox, and I'm excited for the, looking forward to the dedications of the three new schools,

Unknown speaker not human verified

because by that point in time, we'll hopefully have all the parts and pieces.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I know that with respect to this summer we haven't done any favors to what I consider

Unknown speaker not human verified

what I consider the back end folks on the project like the technology folks and I've apologized to them on many

Unknown speaker not human verified

occasions and the purchasing folks because there's limited time to move in but I'm really excited to sort of see the expression on the kids faces and the parents faces when we get into these particular facilities.

Unknown speaker not human verified

of these you're exactly right and you're you're right we've been here before we

Unknown speaker not human verified

know what it's gonna look like everybody rolls her sleeves up you know the last

Unknown speaker not human verified

week and and after 19 years I'm surprised I have any hair line I was

Unknown speaker not human verified

just thinking how calm you are and and reassuring that we've done this before

Unknown speaker not human verified

and while I know teachers are anxious to get in those spaces August well and it's

Unknown speaker not human verified

important because I know I try my best to be out there motivate because for

Unknown speaker not human verified

instance out it that the working can do I mentioned the hours but the working

Unknown speaker not human verified

conditions you know at some of the renovation projects it's the air

Unknown speaker not human verified

conditionings not turned on yet and they're in there in a very tough

Unknown speaker not human verified

situation so I have to acknowledge the work of the of all of the sub trades

Unknown speaker not human verified

they're working long hours in there well they're beautiful spaces and it's fun to

Unknown speaker not human verified

watch on social media as teachers get in and see their new spaces for the first

Unknown speaker not human verified

time and I know dr. Craig and mrs. Lowry all of them they're just really excited

Unknown speaker not human verified

And we all are and we can't wait to see him well and Troy as well

Unknown speaker not human verified

I didn't mention Troy camp Detroit, you know Troy and Kerry obviously are in a couple of that

Unknown speaker not human verified

epicenters as far as a project that are really part of the steeplechase so to speak

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity though, and they're happy to have it. Thanks so much. Appreciate them

Unknown speaker not human verified

input.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, Dr. Grims, we're very excited about hearing from you the outcomes from the survey

Item 6.2

Unknown speaker not human verified

we did about stadium naming options.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We're glad you're here.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I see you have Mr. Rollins with you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, Mr. Rollins.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I do.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, Madam President, Board of Trustees, and Mr. Gunnell.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm here this evening to report on the final outcomes of the stadium naming rights survey and Mr.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Rollins is also here to answer any questions you might have regarding next steps.

Unknown speaker not human verified

As you know this survey was developed by K-12 insight and they are an outside survey research firm.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It was designed to gather feedback from community members on whether the naming rights for the second stadium and the student activity facility

Unknown speaker not human verified

complex should be sold or named after an attribute

Unknown speaker not human verified

characteristic or group in which the KD community values. The survey was

Unknown speaker not human verified

administered by email and it was sent as a unique link to 67,000 email addresses

Unknown speaker not human verified

that the district has on file. Now these are addresses that individuals have

Unknown speaker not human verified

submitted to us voluntarily and the survey was also available on the website

Unknown speaker not human verified

via an open link. The survey was promoted through social media and also e-news as

Unknown speaker not human verified

as well as a feature story that ran on channel 26.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So participation rate for this survey

Unknown speaker not human verified

was 5,637 individuals who took this survey.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And again, the primary purpose of the survey

Unknown speaker not human verified

was to gauge the public sentiment

Unknown speaker not human verified

and allow community members the opportunity

Unknown speaker not human verified

to weigh in on this matter as the Board of Trustees

Unknown speaker not human verified

moves forward with their decision-making process

Unknown speaker not human verified

for for this second state stadium naming

Unknown speaker not human verified

yeah so out of those who participated 42% represented the southwest quadrant of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the district and those are individuals who look who live below I 10 south of I

Unknown speaker not human verified

I-10 and west of the Grand Parkway. About 33% represent the southeast quadrant, again, below I-10

Unknown speaker not human verified

and east of the Grand Parkway. 15% represent the northwest quadrant, which is north of I-10 and

Unknown speaker not human verified

west of the Parkway. And finally, 10% represented those who reside in the northeast quadrant of the

Unknown speaker not human verified

district. And as you can see in this chart, almost a third of the participants have lived in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

district for 8 to 15 years. And then in terms of length of residency, the other bulk of

Unknown speaker not human verified

participants are scattered between 4 to 7 years and 16 or more years in the school district.

Unknown speaker not human verified

One of the first questions asked in the survey was, do you believe Katy ISD should consider

Unknown speaker not human verified

selling the naming rights for the second stadium or name it after a meaningful attribute, characteristic

Unknown speaker not human verified

or group that reflects Katie's values and as you can see in this chart 57% of

Unknown speaker not human verified

the participants indicated that they would like to see Katie ISD sell the

Unknown speaker not human verified

naming rights the other 43% expressed that they would like Katie ISD to name

Unknown speaker not human verified

the second stadium after a meaningful attribute or characteristic we also

Unknown speaker not human verified

looked at how individuals responded to this question based on the quadrant in

Unknown speaker not human verified

which they live as you can see the outcome for the Southwest Southeast and

Unknown speaker not human verified

Northeast quadrants are all very similar and that most survey

Unknown speaker not human verified

Participants in these three areas prefer for the district to sell the naming rights

Unknown speaker not human verified

Only in the northwest quadrant of the district do we see more survey?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Participants indicating that they would be interested in the district naming this the stadium after an attribute or characteristic

Unknown speaker not human verified

However, it should be noted that while it's only 600 individuals who participated in that quadrant of the district that is

Unknown speaker not human verified

proportionate to the number of individuals who actually reside in the

Unknown speaker not human verified

Northwest quadrant. So this survey branched off into different questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

based on how the participant answered the first question. If the participant

Unknown speaker not human verified

indicated that the second stadium naming rights should be sold, the individual was

Unknown speaker not human verified

directed to this question which asked, do you believe there is a minimum dollar

Unknown speaker not human verified

amount that should be met by an entity interested in purchasing naming rights

Unknown speaker not human verified

for the second stadium for a 10-year period and as you can see 88% said yes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Those individuals were then asked what does that dollar amount look like and

Unknown speaker not human verified

again as you can see in the chart about 38% of participants felt that the

Unknown speaker not human verified

minimum dollar amount should be two million dollars. About 23% said 2.5

Unknown speaker not human verified

million and finally 16% said 1.5 million. There were about 297 individuals who

Unknown speaker not human verified

selected other and they offered alternate dollar amounts they believe that the stadium

Unknown speaker not human verified

rights should be sold for.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And those dollar amounts ranged from $4 million to $100 million.

Unknown speaker not human verified

However I will say that most of those dollar amounts did hover around $5 million.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Not an offer yet.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We'll work on that next.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So for those survey participants who expressed they would like to see the second stadium

Unknown speaker not human verified

named after an attribute or characteristic, 1,388 participants submitted potential names.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And what you'll see in this chart is a list of the top 10 names that were submitted with the greatest frequency.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And these top 10 names include Mike Johnston Stadium, Katie Stadium, Heritage Stadium,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Gary Joseph Stadium, Veterans Stadium, Legacy Stadium, MKT Stadium, Alton Fraley

Unknown speaker not human verified

Champion Stadium, and Katy Heritage Stadium. We also asked participants to

Unknown speaker not human verified

tell us whether they think the naming rights for the Student Activity Facility

Unknown speaker not human verified

Complex should be sold. As you know, that complex comprises the STEAM Center, the

Unknown speaker not human verified

the Miller Career and Technology Center,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the Raines High School Opportunity Awareness Career

Unknown speaker not human verified

Center, sorry, Opportunity Awareness Center, rather,

Unknown speaker not human verified

the Rhodes Stadium, and of course, the second stadium.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And 59% of participants said no.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The naming rights for the complex as a whole

Unknown speaker not human verified

should not be sold based on their opinion.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And when broken down by quadrants,

Unknown speaker not human verified

most residents in all quadrants who participated in this survey

Unknown speaker not human verified

agreed that the naming rights for the complex should not be sold.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Finally, participants were allowed to provide open comments at the end of the survey.

Unknown speaker not human verified

3,071 participants added comments.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'm going to speak to these comments categorically.

Unknown speaker not human verified

A sampling of these comments were sorted into four categories to allow us to identify common themes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

One theme that came across poignantly was that many believed that the stadium naming

Unknown speaker not human verified

rights should be sold.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Forty-two percent were in that category.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And the recurrent theme in those comments addressed the need to redirect those funds

Unknown speaker not human verified

to programs and facilities and activities that directly impact students.

Unknown speaker not human verified

students. About 12% of the comments suggested naming the stadium after a legacy person.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Again, this would follow the tradition of naming schools after individuals in the community

Unknown speaker not human verified

who have made major contributions to Katy. About 25% indicated that the stadium should

Unknown speaker not human verified

be named after an attribute, which of course is different from naming it after a legacy

Unknown speaker not human verified

person and then finally about 20% provided a comment that we put in a

Unknown speaker not human verified

category we labeled as other because it didn't speak to selling the naming

Unknown speaker not human verified

rights or naming the stadium after attribute rather many of these comments

Unknown speaker not human verified

tended to reflect some some of the comments that we heard during the bond

Unknown speaker not human verified

initiative for individuals who were not necessarily happy with the bond common

Unknown speaker not human verified

themes that came out of those comments include location mobility and cost and I

Unknown speaker not human verified

believe I skipped a slide early on so I just want to say that this survey was

Unknown speaker not human verified

not scientific in nature it was not a random sampling it was simply designed

Unknown speaker not human verified

to gather feedback from individuals who wanted to provide input on the

Unknown speaker not human verified

decision-making process concerning the naming rights for the second stadium if

Unknown speaker not human verified

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer those.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Dr. Grooms, the slide that talks about, I believe the question that talks about naming

Unknown speaker not human verified

the complex?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Based on feedback I got from some of the people who took it, I'm not quite sure that they

Unknown speaker not human verified

understood what we were thinking.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Many people believed that if we named the complex, we would do away with all the names

Unknown speaker not human verified

that are there and everything would be called the same thing, which they were not in favor

Unknown speaker not human verified

of changing Miller Career Center or Raines High School or the Shaw Center. I don't think they understood that we meant put a big sign over the top of the entire area and say go to the Shaw Center at the XYZ complex. So I think that maybe the question didn't yield, because I was quite surprised by this, but the feedback given, so at some point in the future if we decide to do something else or if the computer.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We can provide some clarification.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Something we could provide some clarification, but that's what people told me is don't change the names that are already there

Unknown speaker not human verified

Not interested in that but they're happy with anything. So I just wanted to give you that feedback given to me. Thank you

Henry Dibrell not human verified

And president mr. DeBrell

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Don't name names, but do we have anyone interested in

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Naming rights is this time anyone to ever express the interest? Yes, I believe

Unknown speaker not human verified

there has been some expressed interest and perhaps mr. Rollins can speak to

Unknown speaker not human verified

that good evening there's been some very preliminary discussions in the past but

Unknown speaker not human verified

since the June board meeting when there's been talk of putting together

Unknown speaker not human verified

the committee and honestly waiting for the board's direction on which way to go

Unknown speaker not human verified

there haven't been any discussions that I've been involved in no sir

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you for your presentation. Thank you for helping us get the information from our community.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We appreciate it very much.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you.

Consent Agenda

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, board members, at this time I'll direct you to some voting items.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Number seven.

Charles Griffin not human verified

Madam President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Griffin.

Charles Griffin not human verified

I move that the Board of Trustees approves the consent agenda as recommended in items 7.1 through 7.15.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Second.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I have a motion by Mr. Griffin, a second by Mrs. Doyle.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The Board of Trustees approves the consent agenda as recommended in items 7.1 through 7.15.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All in favor, raise your hand.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Motion passes 6-0.

Item 8.1

Unknown speaker not human verified

At this time we'll move to 8.1, discuss and consider Board approval of a resolution honoring

Unknown speaker not human verified

the Katy Independent School District Police Department.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'll entertain a motion and then I'll read the resolution.

Unknown speaker not human verified

8.1.

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

COMMISSIONER MAY, Madam President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

COMMISSIONER WRIGHT, Mr. Mahulski.

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

COMMISSIONER MAY, I move the Board of Trustees approves a resolution honoring the Katy Independent

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

School District Police Department.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I have a motion by Mr. Moholsky, a second by Mrs. Doyle.

Unknown speaker not human verified

The Board of Trustees approves a resolution honoring the Katy Independent School District Police Department,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the resolution reads as such.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Whereas the Katy ISD Police Department was established in January 1989

Unknown speaker not human verified

to effectively and efficiently provide for the protection of our lives and property,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Preserve the public peace and with the highest level of professionalism and ethical standards

Unknown speaker not human verified

provide the central and campus administration specialized services, strengthening their

Unknown speaker not human verified

ability to prepare students for the changes and challenges of the future.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And whereas the Katy ISD Police Department along with other local agencies lead the community

Unknown speaker not human verified

in providing a safe and secure learning environment free of crime and the fear of crime.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Whereas KDISD police officers pledged to protect and serve even at the cost of their life. And

Unknown speaker not human verified

whereas KDISD police officers face daily and potentially deadly dangers in the execution of

Unknown speaker not human verified

their duty. And whereas since the first recorded death in 1791, over 20,000 law enforcement officers

Unknown speaker not human verified

in the United States made the ultimate sacrifice and been killed in the line of duty. And whereas

Unknown speaker not human verified

Whereas nearly 60,000 assaults against law enforcement officers are reported each year,

Unknown speaker not human verified

resulting in over 15,000 injuries.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And whereas police officers have recently been specifically targeted by acts of deadly violence.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And whereas the KDISD Board of Trustees recognizes the daily sacrifices of law enforcement officers.

Unknown speaker not human verified

officers. Therefore, the KDISD Board of Trustees formally designates August 28th through September

Unknown speaker not human verified

3rd as KDISD Police Week and publicly salutes the service of law enforcement officers in

Unknown speaker not human verified

our community. Signed this 25th day of July 2016, Rebecca Fox, President, Board of Trustees.

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Any discussion? Madam President. Mr. Dubrow. I've been here now for going on six years.

Henry Dibrell not human verified

and every year I learn more about this this group of men and women the training

Henry Dibrell not human verified

the time they put in the care they give to our not only the property but the

Henry Dibrell not human verified

young people of this district is phenomenal recently I had the privilege

Henry Dibrell not human verified

of serving on a grand jury in Forbin County and became aware of some of their

Henry Dibrell not human verified

activities that we don't talk about a whole lot but where some outstanding

Henry Dibrell not human verified

work has been done this is probably one of the most professional forces I've

Henry Dibrell not human verified

ever come into contact with I mean I see them in the neighborhoods how they

Henry Dibrell not human verified

interact with people nothing but the most professional stance at every point

Henry Dibrell not human verified

in time so I just want to thank all of you guys I know the hours you put in I

Henry Dibrell not human verified

mean I know sometime I'm driving home at well one o'clock at night and they're

Henry Dibrell not human verified

out there patrolling and I just appreciate the care that you give to the

Henry Dibrell not human verified

young people as well as this entire community you guys are probably one of

Henry Dibrell not human verified

the biggest forces on on this side of town probably bigger than Katy for sure

Henry Dibrell not human verified

all those other small towns so just appreciate your work and let we want to

Henry Dibrell not human verified

let you know that that we have your back and we're standing behind you that we

Henry Dibrell not human verified

We support you 100% in everything that you do.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, Mrs. Doyle.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I just want to say, as the daughter-in-law of a man who served 35 years for the Sheriff's Department in Louisiana

Unknown speaker not human verified

and also have a brother-in-law that served until he became very ill and can't serve anymore,

Unknown speaker not human verified

but just the level of respect that I have for you guys and the work that you do.

Unknown speaker not human verified

and also what I love is every school that you have been in that my children attend,

Unknown speaker not human verified

y'all are some of my children's favorite people.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They always talk about the officers on campus because y'all don't just stand there,

Unknown speaker not human verified

though you're guarding the children and the administration

Unknown speaker not human verified

and everybody that walks in and out of that building,

Unknown speaker not human verified

you're also becoming friends with those kids,

Unknown speaker not human verified

and you're letting them know that you are there to protect them, and they feel that.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Even in schools like Seven Lakes High School and Tompkins,

Unknown speaker not human verified

where there's thousands of students, they feel your presence and they feel your warmth

Unknown speaker not human verified

and that you do truly care about their safety.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And as a mother, I thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And as a daughter-in-law of a law enforcement officer, I greatly respect you and pray for you

Unknown speaker not human verified

and the job that you do for us.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I appreciate it.

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

I just want to say thank you for being people that our children can look up to.

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

What Mrs. Dorrell was saying, she kind of stole my thunder a little bit.

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

But what I remember as a child was when you saw a police officer in uniform,

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

form it was it was something you saw as safe and something you you looked up to and and you guys

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

emulate that on our campuses every day and just thank you for loving our children thank you for

Bryan Michalsky not human verified

keeping them safe and thank you for being role models for them so appreciate you madam president

Henry Dibrell not human verified

i echo those comments but i want to say this too because i often tell people this story you guys

Henry Dibrell not human verified

A lot of the kids just love them because you guys are just so nice

Henry Dibrell not human verified

I mean and I have parents all the time to say how wonderful your officers are

Henry Dibrell not human verified

But I go on to tell them how much you train for incidences that we've never had like a active shooter

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Are you cross trained with the other agencies that serve our community? So no matter who shows up you're ready to go and

Henry Dibrell not human verified

The sense of security that gives me not only as a trustee but a father

Henry Dibrell not human verified

They know that god forbid something like that would happen one of our campuses

Henry Dibrell not human verified

The amount of time you guys take to put in to be ready for something like that

Henry Dibrell not human verified

This community needs to know about and needs to be applauded

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Because you know always tell them you don't want to come to Katie if you want to pull something like that

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Because our guys are the best and the best trained out there. So I

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Appreciate that as well. I appreciate that as well

Charles Griffin not human verified

Madam President. Mr. Griffin. I just want to say thanks.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So I have a hundred stories and I don't know which one to tell.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Howard was at Begg Junior High with my kids.

Unknown speaker not human verified

They, you know, just what Mrs. Doyle and everybody's saying,

Unknown speaker not human verified

saying, you know, our children just think the world of you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Our daughter had a bender bender and who happens on the scene, but, you know,

Unknown speaker not human verified

Officer Gray.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And just, you know, there he was.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And she was like, my goodness, Officer Gray.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And so it just calmed her until I could get there.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

There are people on the internet who intend to harm our children.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And you have people in your department who protect them and catch the bad guys

Unknown speaker not human verified

that no one ever knows.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But we know.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. DeBrell's right.

Unknown speaker not human verified

You protect us before we ever need it.

Unknown speaker not human verified

But we know who you are.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And we know what you do.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Unknown speaker not human verified

for you and we're grateful that you're a part of our community because you're the

Unknown speaker not human verified

best and you make us the best so on social media last week I saw a picture

Unknown speaker not human verified

of with all that with all the comments going on now about police across our

Unknown speaker not human verified

nation it's nice to see those great comments and there was a picture of

Unknown speaker not human verified

someone whose car was broken down and a KDISD police car following behind and

Unknown speaker not human verified

one of the officers pushing the car and the other officer following behind in

Unknown speaker not human verified

the in the squad car to make sure that nothing happened and they were helping

Unknown speaker not human verified

the gentleman push his car his disabled car off the street and it's like see

Unknown speaker not human verified

what our KDISD police are doing and you know this had nothing to do with the

Unknown speaker not human verified

campus or a student or anything it was just the right thing to do and we catch you doing those

Unknown speaker not human verified

kinds of things all the time and tonight we're all wearing some blue because we've got your back

Unknown speaker not human verified

and we appreciate you

Unknown speaker not human verified

anyone else okay so

Unknown speaker not human verified

So we should vote.

Unknown speaker not human verified

All right, we've read it.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We have a motion by Mr. Michalski and a second by Mrs. Doyle.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I read the resolution.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And all in favor, raise your right hand and say aye.

George Scott not human verified

Aye.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Motion passes 6-0.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And Mrs. Vann said she's sorry she couldn't be here tonight to show her support.

Item 8.2

Charles Griffin not human verified

Madam President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Griffin.

Charles Griffin not human verified

I move that the Board of Trustees approves the renewal of the one-year extension of the contract for the collection of delinquent taxes

Charles Griffin not human verified

between Katy Independent School District and the law firm Lyon Barger Goggin Blair and Samson LLP.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Second. I have a motion by Mr. Griffin.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I second by Mr. Mahalski that the Board of Trustees approves the renewal and one-year extension of the contract for the collection of delinquent taxes between Katie Independent School District and the law firm of Lineberger, Bogan, Blair, and Sampson, LOP.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Any discussion?

George Scott not human verified

Madam President.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Scott.

George Scott not human verified

I'd like to take about 90 seconds to put my position on this because if this were going to be a split vote and my vote were decisive, I would vote to extend the contract.

George Scott not human verified

It would be irrational not to extend the contract under these circumstances.

George Scott not human verified

This issue was debated several years ago, and it was debated on all the wrong issues,

George Scott not human verified

and it made it appear that the board was somehow responsible for what had happened in the state of Texas

George Scott not human verified

and the delinquent tax industry.

George Scott not human verified

I'm going to vote no, but the reason I'm going to vote no is because the problem is not at this board,

George Scott not human verified

and it's not at most local governments.

George Scott not human verified

This is an industry that has grown up since the 1980s and it has been fueled by state

George Scott not human verified

government that has created an incredible, unlevel playing field between governments

George Scott not human verified

and the private sector.

George Scott not human verified

It has grown to a point from the mid-1980s when the tax collection of government was

George Scott not human verified

still in tremendous transition from the Peavito bill forward.

George Scott not human verified

It made a lot of sense to privatize the industry at that point in time.

George Scott not human verified

My position is this.

George Scott not human verified

I got three years on this board and I'm going to try to make this an issue, but not an issue

George Scott not human verified

that divides the school board.

George Scott not human verified

My position is basically this.

George Scott not human verified

If the state of Texas would create a level playing field, the penalties and the interest

George Scott not human verified

that now go to one predominant law firm in the state of Texas would go to the

George Scott not human verified

people that that money belongs to and that's the taxpayers who pay their taxes

George Scott not human verified

on time so I will vote no to on this tonight I don't like the system but

George Scott not human verified

there is not an ounce of difference between me and the other members of the

George Scott not human verified

board ask what the rational thing to do on this contract is so I appreciate

George Scott not human verified

you're taking it off the concern agenda. We'll proceed to vote. All in favor, raise

Unknown speaker not human verified

your right hand to say aye. Aye. Opposed? No. Motion passes 5 to 1. 8.3 discuss and

Item 8.3

Unknown speaker not human verified

consider the board approval of a charter for a committee to explore and

Unknown speaker not human verified

evaluate strategic alternatives for naming the Student Activity Center

Unknown speaker not human verified

Second Stadium.

Henry Dibrell not human verified

Mr. DeBrell.

Henry Dibrell not human verified

I move that the Board of Trustees approves a charter for a committee to explore and evaluate

Henry Dibrell not human verified

strategic alternatives for naming the Student Activity Center Second Stadium.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I have a motion by Mr. DeBrell, a second by Mrs. Doyle that the Board of Trustees approves

Unknown speaker not human verified

the charter for a committee to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives for naming

Unknown speaker not human verified

the Student Activity Center Second Stadium. Any discussion? Hearing none,

Unknown speaker not human verified

we'll proceed to vote. All in favor raise your right hand and say aye. Aye. Is that

Unknown speaker not human verified

everybody? Hmm? Motion passes six to zero. Okay, look at this, 735 and we are two

Items 9 - 11

Madam President.

MS.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Mr. Griffin.

Unknown speaker not human verified

MR.

Charles Griffin not human verified

Charles Griffin not human verified

one been changed?

Charles Griffin not human verified

So we are going to have a special meeting on the 29th.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We'll have a special board meeting on August 29th.
