Do you remember that, Holly? >> But they are, but they do look nice when you go in. >> They did not look nice when we did our first walk through. >> So So my thought is is that we continue to let them >> I know. I know. >> Um let them make their list and then we have and this is what I don't know a fiveyear or a threeyear. I know five is good, but gosh, so much can change in five years. How how far out should we have this list and pretty much knowing so that we could talk to Brock? >> Well, I mean, I think you're in good shape right now where you're at. It's just moving forward probably every year just readressing. >> Yeah, I agree. So you be going out here to 31, you know, five years >> and the ones that are out there might need to move up or they might come off the plate.
>> And sometimes >> you might find some where well unfortunately we did get an emergency. We had to deal with it out of capital projects. >> Yeah. >> You know, when it comes off the list for your construction. >> And do you feel like this big assessment that we did here obviously has been extremely beneficial? Would you do this every 3 years or would you do it every five years? >> Because this is really the foundation of how we got to this. >> Three years is more than you need for sure. >> Okay. >> Even five years because >> you know but what happens is you start hammering through that list >> and everything's like new for quite a while. You know >> even if you only do it in two year chunks >> in five years so much of what you have is brand new.
you know. Yeah. >> So I think it's just a fiveyear probably minimum. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I think you make a judgment call later on that feel like >> but >> because this is you follow that and then then there will become another time but it may be 10 years where you say >> hey we need to start over with the list and figure out where we're at right now. [snorts] >> Yeah. >> But you've got a plan because you have that. >> Yes. Absolutely. It was >> there's some cool things on here. A lot of a lot of thought went into it for sure. >> On this transportation request maintenance buildings, just off the subject, did the gutter get repaired that was pulling away from this building? >> This packet? >> No. >> Yeah. Evidently, and now that we have Stacy here, the the gutters, you know, the the snow is running off >> this building.
Yes. >> I knew that was an issue. I thought Kyle was getting that hammered out. >> He he did have a quote. It was it was uh high [clears throat] >> and so we we but we need to get three of them anyway and we've had a couple people out here and their concern is that in fixing it and I don't I'm not even going to try to pretend to use certain terms in fixing it the way it needs to be they're afraid of damaging the roof and it having leaks. >> Yeah. So, so the you know probably the key there is because that roof is new and under warranty, nobody wants to mess with somebody else's warranty roof. So that sticks you with a proprietary >> contractor of it's their roof and they're going to be the ones attaching those snow guards to >> and then that are there not snow guards for seven ones that we could just you can't just go off the street.
>> No, it's the pro they're diff they're more difficult to do on a membrane roof. did them over at the school. We put them on there, right? >> But they have to be welded into >> basically welded into the the membrane >> that membrane. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So that's the warranty if you want the warranty to be preserved, you should use the same contractor. >> Okay. >> But that's that was the high price. >> And that's where at Prairie or >> Landmark. I'll check that quote again some say last time you land Griffin had called me and said they were working with Kyle so I never did hear >> I I haven't >> I haven't followed up with Kyle I I didn't know his status I forgot >> yeah so >> um and I want to be cognizant of um Stacy's time so from here I think Stacy on our end, we're going to look at these lists that the directors and them and and we'll figure out how we're going to spend our $12 million.
I think before we talk to Brock then, and you've kind of already done that, it's just kind of a an approximate amount for each of these numbers. I do recall geo bond capacity being about I don't >> I would say we would get geo bond capacity of four to six million but refinancing I'm not for sure >> refinancing isn't >> at this point it's not beneficial to do it it's not cost effective >> what what I remember is you were thinking with your capacity you were going to save it and do smaller things and every other year or something yeah >> that's what I think I remember >> because the one is being paid off this year and then we won't have any on the debt service anymore. >> So really, if you want to keep the tax rate the same, then you should probably get one for 207.
>> Yeah, that's Yeah. >> Yeah. So that might be somewhat determined on how big your bond is, how much you do right now, >> right? >> You might need a bigger one to keep your tax rate level. >> Yes. >> And these price these costs here would be that would be helpful then. >> Yeah. So we determine them and then we start >> [clears throat] >> I'll take what we've tinkered around with today and um I haven't inflated any of the price. So, I'll at least inflate them a year before I give it back to you. We'll change a little bit. >> Okay. >> Now, we've messed with the priorities a little bit >> and I'll give you copy of what we did there. >> And and does that match timing talking with Brock here in the next couple months? >> Yeah. Okay. >> Because he reached out yesterday or day before.
>> Okay. And at that point he that's when he said it really was didn't look like to be cost effective to refund that lease rental. But then there's going to be some changes with some that are maybe coming out with interest rates and all kinds of that jargon and so three months from now it might be beneficial. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So [snorts] okay now so before Stacy takes off do we have any more questions for him? >> Fine. always appreciate you coming. >> Yes. Very well. Well, >> and we can always understand you. So, >> appreciate the partnership. So, >> I appreciate the close drive. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> Couple days ago, I had a two and a half hours each way. So, >> [clears throat and cough] >> Just any other conversation for the work session? before we end the work session. >> I don't I don't have any.
>> No, I just I appreciate every like you said, building and department putting their time and thought into coming up with these lists because it's helpful to see what items that we need to plan for. And I from the variety of things on there, it looks like they're very thorough and and forward thinking and um that's good to do instead of the emergency, you know, planning. This helps. So, some some neat things on there. >> And I really do like how they they care about the look of the building. >> Yeah, >> they do a good job. And another thing that [clears throat] could be said also about the emergency, you know, like Stacy was talking about with the chiller and stuff, you know, if we did plan to redo do, you know, save money and, you know, we're going to replace it in four or five years and say in three years it went out and we had to replace it.
We didn't have enough money to pay for it that we >> we still have the rainy day fund, you know, and that's what that rainy day fund is for is those type of >> unexpected expenses. So we could, you know, we do have that fortunately to fall back on if something like that happened. >> Yeah. >> Okay. We're going to end the work session. Okay.

We're here in the Tiger Den as the C team matchup just finished between the Patriots and the Tigers as the Tigers had a commanding 44 to6 victory. from the play we saw setting up our broadcast tonight. Lots of strong guard play from the Tigers as our JV and C team squads are primarily guard centered and also had very physical defense that prevented the Heritage Patriots from getting many looks at the basket. What were your main takeaways watching what we saw probably from the second half of that C team game? >> Uh really the from what I've seen uh not only in this game but in the past C team games, they do a great job of really moving the ball and working the other defense. Uh they're definitely very well conditioned in the sense that they can run a half court press for primarily most of most of the game and they are still able to move the ball around and score at such a high pace which just makes them really hard to beat.
>> Yeah, as you mentioned that press forcing multiple turnovers there late in the fourth quarter which really I mean the game was already in hand but pulling that game away for the Tigers. For the JV contest tonight, the Patriots come into tonight's contest looking to keep the momentum rolling as them and their varsity teams both enjoy large winning streaks as they come into the Tiger Den. Last season, the Patriots narrowly lost a tight matchup to the Tigers JV squad. So, they'll be looking for revenge tonight as we get underway here in Bluffton. The Tigers share their record with the varsity at a 13 and3 record. The Tigers have quite a deep junior varsity squad with a strong rotation of players. Lots of sophomores on this team. Throw in a few juniors and some freshman that might get some playing time. A big key here for the Tigers is again their guard play as the team is primarily made up of guards.
How do you look for them to control the pace here against a very physical heritage team? Uh really they are just going to have to really find the inside perimeter look whether that's with the freshman Wyatt Holmes and his C team performance that he just had or if that's uh Cameron Kolinsky the junior that they were wanting to look for inside every single time. Uh and we're just going to see if the Heritage can Heritage defense can keep up with this really fast pace and really uh high action Bluffton offense. Yeah, look thinking of like Heritage teams in the past. Very, very strong guard play as their varsity team has two big senior guards that really anchor down that team. They're always looking to speed you up on defense, play very physical defense, turn you over a lot, and on offense, they're just looking to get to the rim.
They do have a few shooters on the team, but the main priority for the Patriots is getting to the rim very quickly. A couple nights ago, Bluffson had a narrow 39 to 35 win over the Eastbrook Panthers. Reed Abbott led the way scoring with 18 as the rest of the Tigers balanced scoring led them to yet another non-conference win. Before that, earlier in the week or last weekend, excuse me, the Tigers had a massive blowout win at Madison Grant. So, two very strong performances from the Tigers as they look to keep that up in the Tiger Den. We'll take a quick break, give a quick preview of the varsity matchup, and be back with tip off here on BHMSD TV. Back here in the Tiger Den just before tip off and let's meet our starters for tonight's matchup. First for the visitors, the Heritage Patriots.
At guard number two, Jackson Kerr. Number three, Sawyer Teley. Number four, Brady Bole. number five East Meyer and number 12 Harold Lawrence. JV coach for the Patriots is Peter Becker. And now the starting lineup for the JV Tigers. At guard number three, Andy Bumgardner. At guard number four, Gibson Grezer. At guard number 12, Rafe Gerber. At guard, number 14, Reed Abbott. And rounding out the starters for the Tigers, number 32, Bennett Stler. >> JV Tigers are coached by Luke Royce. >> As we wait for Jeff Cook and I to present the starters here in the Tiger Den, we'll be back with tip off here shortly. Just about to tip off here in the Tiger Den as we present to you our Wells County Foundation scoreboard at the bottom of your screen. Tipping for the Tigers, number three, Andy Bumgardner. And for the Patriots, number 12, Harold Lawrence.
Patriots will win the tip and start with possession here in the Tiger Den. as Tigers come out here with a very aggressive looking defense to start. >> Patriots moving the ball around quickly here, looking for their open shot. Lots of dribble handoffs near the top of the key. Patriots get an open three and they'll hit it. Number two, Jackson Cerr with the three-point basket puts the Patriots on the board first. Gibson Griezer will bring the ball up here for the Tigers as they set up against what looks like a 3-2 zone here for the Patriots. Tigers take a three of their own. Won't get it as there's a foul on the rebound. Looks like it'll go against the Tigers. >> For a team like the Tigers, rebounding is a very scary place as the Tigers don't have much size and so they give that up in the post and also with that commit more fouls than they would like to on those rebounds.
Another scary thing is your star, one of your star players for your JB squad, the leading scoreer, Gibson Greaser, getting a foul already when we've played a little over 10 seconds here already in the first quarter. Patriots sticking to the 3-2 zone here on the Tigers second possession. Bennett Bennett Sull's three blocked from the top of the key. Tigers looking to slow their offense down a little bit, get a more high percentage shot. Gibson Griez will get the ball back at the top of the key for the Tigers. So they find Reed in the corner for three. Won't go. Patriots able to crowd the rebound as they take the ball down the floor. offensive foul on the Patriots on that drive. >> Both these teams coming out very aggressive to start this game, which if you're a varsity coach, this is what you love to see out of your future athletes in your program.
Tigers still looking for their first points of the game here. Just under five, two minutes played. Tigers run the double screen under the basket. Try to get Reed an open three, but they cannot hit the screens that well. Gibson Griez will take a three from the wing. Won't go. Rebounds to the Patriots as Jackson Curl bring the ball down. Takes it all the way to the basket. Just can't convert. So now Bennett will try fast break of his own. Pulls the ball back out. looks for Reed in the wing. >> Reed able to find Rafe Gerber in the post who draws the foul on the shot. He'll get two shots at the free throw line here for the Tigers. front end goes in for Rafe Gerber. Puts the Tigers with their first points of the game. Second free throw also good. Perfect from the line for Rafe Gerber.
Now Tigers seem to be in a fullcourt press look. That's a very aggressive look for the Tigers as they're looking to slow down this Patriot momentum. >> Bennett almost gets the steal on the fast break without realizing it. Ball bounced off his shoulder and he draws the foul under the basket as looks like Jackson Cerr will be going to the line for the Patriots. >> And what this JV Tiger squad has done so well over the season is just coming out hot, not letting the Patriots or really any of their opponents see any bit of light. And uh I think that's going to be a key factor if they want to come out on top with this one. >> Front end good for Jackson Curb has the Patriots up two here early in the first quarter. Second one also good. So extends the Patriots lead to three as Gibson Greaser will bring the ball down yet again for the Tigers.
