I'm sure they're probably so mad. >> Like when you're walking to the start area, they they've shut the strip down to traffic already. >> And Vegas I feel bad for Vegas metro cops because I know this kills them. >> Yeah. You got all these people that are like, "Oh, I'm trying to get there." And they're like, "It's closed, man." >> Yeah, that's going to be such a mess for them. >> It It's I watched them the one year our hotel actually faced to where I could watch them close the roads. >> And I mean, it's it's a trick because you got to close all the feeders. >> Yeah. All the feeder roads. >> But it is cool to run down the strip, I bet. because like I say that after the race is miserable, you know, you're beat everybody else is doing their thing because they're on Vegas strip, >> right?
You're giving up an amount of um comfort to do so. And I think any uh effective protest does that, right? Uh, so I think it's it might not feel great for our students and I I would agree. I' I'd if there was something I could do as an individual board member to not have them get a detention, uh, I'd be all for it. Um, >> yeah, we could plan the protest after school hours. [laughter] >> and we we and it's important. We can't pick sides, right? We we can't we can't say these these students protested for a rightful cause, so we're not going to give them a detention. We can't do that. Yeah. >> So we have to we have to have the same measures and consequences for every single student in every single occasion. >> Absolutely. >> It's got to be a viewpoint neutral and like we said consistent, right?
They're great. >> Um, and the problem is if you stay like way down at the south end like Bay or one of the ones way at the south end, it's super easy to get to your hotel after the race, but to get to the start area is a pain because you got to swim upstream to get to that. >> So, you choose >> which end which end you want to suffer. >> Yeah. >> Oh, man. >> One and all people that are just there to party, >> right? What are you doing here? >> Running shorts and you know you got your metal and your >> right >> and of course they don't care that you just ran a half beat up. >> Not at all. >> These days I really want to take my bike down to downtown Phoenix and just ride around that way to see it.
We we >> um >> but again paramount to safety of of the students, right? >> But hopefully if our principles see a large group of students leaving, then you you will be in contact with the village. So that while the students are no longer in our care on our property, we we want to know that there's that communication so that there is someone in the public domain who's looking out for them on the other side. >> That will be happening kind of resource officers to a police department in our building. Um all of the friends that we're aware of the police department is aware of. So our school resource officer will be very closely monitoring the school resource officer information as it's happening. >> I do want to mention appreciate the school communication outward, right? I mean, they're also letting parents know so parents can talk to their children about >> whatever they're planning and, you know, it's really parents should be doing that if they're aware of where their children are if they're so I I think that was good on our part to be very proactive and clear and you know, whether that's what people want to hear or not, that is more information is >> rarely can I give people what they want to hear.
But >> Oh, that' be interesting. Um because it's cool and it takes a long time to get around by car >> and it's not feel decent there on a bike. Like if anyone were to mess with the beach just there. Yeah. >> But this winter it's been so warm. >> Yeah. Like we were down in Mesa riding a couple weekends ago and it was like body is used to the cold mornings. Like I could feel my like face heating up and I'm just like oh this sucks. Like this is uh it's the end of January. Like but it's been rough for them down there. >> Yeah. when we were in New York, seeing the people riding the lights. >> Yeah, that's crazy. >> They're just dodging in and out, crossing against lights all the time or not doing that. No, >> I'm just I'm like, you're gonna die, >> right?
>> Yeah. >> Any other thoughts or comments? Okay. And item number seven, um, can I get a motion to go into close session for open meetings act exception number two regarding collective negotiating matters between the public body and its employees or their representatives or deliberations concerning salary schedules for one or more classes and employees. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Cara moves. Mike seconds. >> Thank you. Cara Casten >> I. >> Michael Riskey. >> I. Katie Courtney. >> I >> Ken Dawson. >> Hi. >> Chris Espinosa. >> Hi. >> April Fein. >> Hi. >> Don Rener. >> I. Motion carries. Um for the members of the public, uh the only item that will be uh uh undertaken once we come out of close session will be to adjourn. Let's uh take a brief break and we'll uh re uh convene for close session. Thank you.
>> But they I mean, if you do it there every day. >> Yeah. >> And you're or they're like messengers and delivery people, right? >> Wrong timing. you know, no matter how good you are. Yeah. You know, >> I got picked off crossing the street >> because I mean down where you know where we are where all there's all the traffic, all the tourists and everything and so it's just wall to wall and there was the traffic is a dead stand and I'm like I can hustle across. I start to go and right then cars start moving. You're like oh boy thank you. >> Yeah. It's a whole different world. That is a whole different world. >> Yeah. Oh man. I I think I ate around like 10:30 this morning. I probably super early. Yeah. depends on what I have going on and you know >> or else I have to wait until like one >> right sometimes I do that too I like to take it really late so that I can you know feel like I'm going home soon but >> I will sometimes but with how early we get up That means they're out.
No. our bike club up first Thursday of March. >> I want to get at least a weekend before spring break. >> Oh yeah. >> Um and prepping the kids for field trips basically. a little bit of that at the end of last season like, hey, peanuts and everyone needs to stick together and you know if you guys want to go anywhere, you're not going to run off in the woods like >> Yeah. >> So, uh yeah, and then I'll have to figure that outically with my IT position and things like that, but uh I'm sure we'll make it work. Oh yeah, >> that'll be a fun little adventure here and there midweek for me. And >> they seemed like they were having a great time. >> Oh yeah. Yeah, we always had a blast. Really hope that the weather doesn't turn as soon as we start.
I have a feeling it's going to see >> the kids would love it. They want to ride in the snow. Yeah, >> of course. Let's make a mess, >> right? >> Exactly. They have to clean the bikes, >> right? So, we'll see with sixth grade staying. Oh, yeah. >> Might even keep the kids because I talked to the program and they're like, "Yeah, the goal is to keep the kids like kind of as long as you can." Okay. That that's kind of their philosophy. >> Well, that would be awesome. Um, we'll see. >> Yeah, that would be awesome. Yeah. I haven't thought about that, but that would be really >> Yeah. >> really cool. Will they come back write an audit after this year or >> audit the program after the first year basically or >> um where they just make sure >> Yeah, they have me send in a lot of stuff and then like tomorrow after work Eric's going to come by.
We're going to inspect all the bikes and then I think their regional manager will come okay >> visit before we start and >> yeah they I just kind of give them data. They have the kids like fill out these like questionnaires and all the kids are like, "What does peers mean?" Like, "What does this mean?" Like, and they're like, "Well, I'm just gonna put this." Well, okay, that's cool. >> Um, but then, yeah, hopefully after a year, you know, like build some trails. >> I thought that was the deal was after >> kind of was. Yeah. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to just like drop it, you know? So, >> do one year. Go ahead. >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. Have some plans to put some obstacles out there and different stuff and that hopefully have the archery situation taken care of with the impenetrable wall.
Then we should be good. So >> yeah. Um, >> I I know the new coach and >> uh she's Yeah, >> I me and Eric were very tempted over like Christmas break to just go turn the entire thing 90 degrees. >> Well, I thought about that and then I was like, I have the sun. >> Well, >> I know. I But I think that's the biggest issue of why it's oriented the way it is is because you're going to be fight you're going to be shooting into the afternoon sun. >> But no, I Yeah, >> because I had thought about that. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We should be able to ride the whole course this time, whereas last season we did that like twice and the kids every time we're like, >> "Can we ride over there, please?" And I'm just like, >> "No. So up again.
>> Yeah, >> the timing to having January off cuz going crazy with this the Ed Leo mass communication stuff like >> nuts. So currently trying to figure out how to I think I have a pretty good system of how to recreate these valve caps with the Lego heads. >> Oh, that's so cool. >> Right. Yeah. So, um, there you have to drill out like the top hole >> so that like the little tiny bit of the valve can barely stick through. >> Okay. >> And then they're so close to like the perfect thread size, but just a little loose. So, I experimented with putting just a tiny layer of like epoxy >> Yeah. >> in there and then threading it back and forth to make the threads. So, >> Oh, that's cool. I like it. Yeah. So, I got a >> Those are cool. >> Spider-Man one for my bike and a Gandalf for a friend of mine.
>> I forgot what Eric wanted. He's like not into that. But, >> um, yeah, >> epoxy or the only other thing I can think of right off the top of my head would be like that. It's kind of like epoxy, but that >> GB weld. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was looking at. Yeah. Yeah. Rock hard. >> Exactly. >> And if you got it threaded. Yeah. >> Right. Right. >> So, it should be easy. I even thought about like Well, on that website, that's like a European only thing >> and they're selling there like 25 bucks equivalent. Buy that stuff from BrickLink in like bulk. >> Yeah. you could make good money if I just went down just to the whiskey off-road for a day and you know so we'll see but for now I'll just make some for friends and stuff and it'll be fun >> those are cool >> I never thought of that but yeah >> yeah they're almost the perfect size mini fig and the opening and everything >> yeah they make them too on that site for the bigger valves like a car one but you really have to drill them out.
A decent amount where I'm like, I don't want to do that. >> Have much of a shell left. >> No, you'd have to be really careful, too. Almost have to have something to clamp it in place and down. But, but yeah. >> Yeah. Once you got the depth, like if you had a drill press, once you got the depth right, everything you could do it, but you'd have to do a lot of tinkering. >> Yeah. So, yeah, I'm sure once uh once bike club starts, you'll have to look for it on my my bike. I'll probably just do one on the front for now. >> Oh, that's fun. I like that. >> Yeah, I went down to that Lego store downtown and >> picked out the few heads and stuff and it was perfect. Cost me like >> 15 bucks total for like the stuff I wanted.
The expensive thing was I had to buy the whole Gandalf mini figure. Yeah, >> which was 10 bucks, which I'll take the head and then I'll take his other stuff and just put a normal head in there and have. But >> yeah, if you go on like the pick brick or whatever. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. Well, there's some people that I don't know how or why they're doing it, but like I looked up like Spider-Man had some person in like Germany selling like I 45 Spider-Man heads for sale and it's just like, well, I don't know what you're doing, but sure. And they're all like 39 cents each or something. You know, you're paying more for shipping, right? >> But those are funny. I haven't seen those before. But yeah, so >> so once I I just want to get it really nice and refined.
>> Yeah. >> Where it looks clean and screws on clean and feels like it's meant to be. So >> yeah, I know JB might >> JB might do it >> unless it's too aggressive. But >> yeah, I use super glue to start with that pretty well. It's just it can be a little bit gritty like um Yeah, I feel like Jamie W or some kind of epoxy like that would be good. So >> Oh, that's fun. >> Yeah. I figured you'd get a kick out of that. >> I like that one. >> That Lego store was pretty pretty cool. >> I haven't been in there. >> That's worth like going in. It's It's just fun to look and >> old stuff and like bunch of mini figures and stuff. So that's kind of like a fun little >> downtown thing. >> Yeah. I used to have never gotten in there.
>> Yeah. It's over by like that firehouse plaza. >> Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. So hopefully uh hopefully they do well to lights on. It's always places like that that I'm like in this town it's it's hard but >> it really getting ready to come back out here. >> Okay. >> No, I haven't. Yes, I did. Thank you. >> Yeah, you're like 7. When I go home, I try to eat I get home usually at 5:30, 6. I try to eat like around 600, 6:30. I try to eat really early and I never eat that many carbs, but I was starving so I eat everything on my plate. >> Do what you got. >> I try when during the week during the uh um weekend I eat early like 5:00 5:30 as late as >> Next time we have to go to the executive session. I'll make sure we still only have three.
dinner. >> Well, all your papers and stuff are still Well, some people's >> I took all my stuff. >> Did you eat dinner? >> Yes. Heidi was so sweet and brought me a full plate. >> Okay, awesome. >> I wasn't in here. >> But yeah, it is cold in here. >> Oh, it's >> our computers are gone. Oh my gosh. Thank goodness. I won't remember how to get in. >> We got to wait for Mara. I'm always the last one, >> but I'm glad everybody >> had a little something. >> All righty. Oh, maybe I'll just Oh, that's that's sitting down. I just >> I was I'm going to go. Um, we are back in open session and if I could have a motion to either approve or deny superintendent performance pay. >> I'll make a motion. We're both at it again. >> I'll make a motion that we go ahead and honor agreement.
>> Yes. Thank you. And I'll second. All in favor? >> I motion carries. Good night everyone. See what you guys, you know. >> So, that's funny.
