>> So, um that's uh the 23rd, I believe. 23rd, Thursday the 23rd against I think Shrewsbury. Yeah. Should be a good game. >> One their the three out of league games that they have the schedule is shorter now for girls across the EMIA made a rule this year that it would be 18 games rather than 20. Okay. Which aligns with the number that the boys had. So, for some reason girls could have up to 20 games, boys only had up to 18. Now it's 18 for each. So, >> Okay. in the the Tri-Valley league they play each of the large teams twice. >> Twice. The small teams once, so that's 15 games and you've got three Yep. games you can schedule out of league. Although interestingly enough, Dedham one of their out of league games is actually playing I think it was Norwood a sec Norton a second time.
Uh the other items is the capital expenditures plan. So we met this evening. You'll hear about that in a bit for that um that committee update and you know we'll hopefully present later in the spring for approval. and the facilities department. We had issued a request for proposal for districtwide cleaning services for next school year. We needed to go out to RFP because we're RFP. We're adding about 72,000 square foot to um our interior space and we are currently under contract with SMG for these services. Our contract for this year is $859,000. We budgeted um $1,30,000 for next school year. Uh yesterday the director of facilities met with three v vendors who met the criteria to move forward with the RFP process. You will see below uh those c companies are ANA, SJI and SMG. to all um you know acronyms and what I have included here is their they were asked to provide a couple different models but their base proposal um plus the cost of cleaning Human um that was part of you know some of our our budgeting staffing shifts but I've included that here the purpose of yesterday's meeting was to see if we could refine the scope so that we are getting closer to the amount that we budgeted so you can see that right now Um, all of these are significantly over what we've budgeted for.
>> Okay. >> And plus, now they're going to put canopies in part of the ESCO. There's going to be canopies in the parking lot. So now I have even less space >> for solar. >> Unless you can talk the police department of giving over. >> Oh, Highland. You're talking about Highland because that was the only one doing it. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Highland >> because like we were saying we weren't going to do it, but yeah, Highland the one that has a >> car. You're talking about the solar p the car. >> Canopy solar panel. We got a carports. Highland is I think scheduled to >> that's the only one. The other schools didn't have any. >> They tried to put them at the new schools but building committee said no. >> Yeah. >> So that's Highland. Um one thing I'll say here too is I'll get you guys the other copy.
Yeah. Okay. And I mean we could I mean we could go as far as putting a putting a receptacle and a plug in like they do in an RV park cuz technically that counts as a disconnect. Uh but it's got to it does have a local disconnect now as well. Does that meet the electrical code or do you still need a variance for that? And it would be the electrical connection. I'd have to look at it through that Okay. lens. Any other questions for the board? I one last detail. On your plan, which way is What What is the compass direction? Oh, north arrow is in the um on the site plan actually. The north arrow is built into where it says site map in the bottom bottom right. Yeah, I know. And the elevations say obviously north, east, southwest. Is it That's right. That's all right.
So here you come across I still call it 427 that's what it was when I was a kid. You know you cross the line. Well Auburn is only 5 miles north. In fact for those of us that grew up in northern northwest Allen along you know road it was easier to get to Auburn than it was under town. So we all came up here. You know we used to go up to here the pool but they ran us away. [laughter] I go down that road though. But um so you know really it's it's not that relief. So the problem is infrastructure. You know you can't have large scale development on well subject. You have to have water, sewer, roads, things like that. And that that may be whole big things holding back right now and um who's going to pay for all that? And the developers are tapped out right now by the way.
>> It was like it was weird. It was >> Yep. wasn't a back-to-back, but it was a home game, another team, then another. I thought the schedule was wrong, but you don't see that very often. So, it's technically a league game, but it's not a mandated one cuz you only play the smalls once. >> I saw that as well. Okay. We're back. 4-4. Gillette with the win over Dedham. Okay, that that looked a lot better for Ashlyn there. Pulling it back, maybe that's what was being discussed over there on the sidelines. But I try to start making some more of those draw control wins and getting some more possessions. So, Callahan into the offensive zone off to Dedham trip. Ali probably going to the line. Yeah, that's Marsiglia to Hickey to Early. Little bobble, but able to collect it back. This little spin move, but the defender sticks with her.
So, we really need to uh sharpen the pencil there. And that is it for the financial report. So, before I go into the medical benefits, um, any questions from the board? >> Miss Cullen. >> Yes. So that's the cost of um we we added an additional alternate for cleaning Hummeist in the event that you know part of the conversation we had uh in the initial budget workshops was about the potential inclusion of another building maintainer inside maintainer. The inside maintainer was approved. That's again the trades person. The building maintainer was not. So, because we're adding significant square footage at Barnum and Norton, um we need to reallocate our building maintainers and we are trying to prioritize students and schools, but that leaves Human out. Um so, what that would mean is that we don't have someone at Human, but we have nightly cleaning service happening.
I filtered this. So this is the projects that had money allocated in year one. That's why the rows you'll see that sometimes there's gaps because I just I didn't include things that weren't for part of this year. But the totals at the top are correct for the year outlay. That includes all the projects. But I I'll make sure that this is unfiltered for you uh in my follow-up email. So uh the next two items are Norton. You're going to see this item actually at Norton and Barnum. So these are for a storage building. So uh Rich briefly touched on that in the on the tour um back when we were near the facilities the the size of the I asked the size comparable >> for the for the new schools because there's no storage. >> Yep. >> And some power equipment. So Rich, I don't know if you want to share anything about Norton and I think they're the same.
You do the north north and offset and then that's east. There is the middle of the site and then it's northwest corner. Is that the case with that the [clears throat] the the tree that's by the stair? Is that the north? The tree that's by the stair would be the e- west. West. Yeah. Westish I guess. More more west than north I guess. Who's the site planner? Yeah, it actually shows it in the site plan. Barely. I don't know if you guys are you guys looking at 11 by 17 or No, we're looking at an 8 by 8 and 1/2 Oh, it's even worse to see it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I have a larger one if you guys want to look look at it. I mean No, it's okay. So it looks like the whole total thing is less than without the stairways there's less than 200 square feet, 79 and 118.
They they're in for a rough road here. because they too have seen the numbers and they realize that in the next five, seven, 10 years, you're just going to see a flood of existing homes on the market and they're [clears throat] going to want to sell them because they don't want that equity to go get there. Which is the other problem with elder housing right now. We just downsized from Rock Hill after 20 years, went down to Alabama. [clears throat] My wife retired. We own a smaller house uh much smaller house in semi rural Alabama and it was [clears throat] a h 100,000 more than our house was rock hill >> you know so the days of well I'm going to cash in this expensive northern house and move down south and blow up the equity those days are gone folks there's no way you're going to find a house in Florida or Myrtle Beach or Texas that's less than what you got up here that's deep comparable So that that whole the only place they can still do that is New England because their housing prices up there is obscene.
That defender is Kate Maturin. Not a whole lot of cutting I'm seeing here, folks. Yeah, it's like a another pick there. Fortunately, that was lost by Marseglia when trying to make a move and then collect it. Now, they're racing up the field. That's Brooke over there. Finds it up. Turnover by Denham. A lot of it's probably going to Good job by Alana. Collecting the ground ball on to Erin Hickey and she's got a little bit of space. I presume she turns and fires it before Right over the ref's head. >> Yeah, before Lanie was expecting it. She was able to to to grab it and Denham plays a little bit of high pressure, so they're they're pressuring out even near the the 30. A lot of times teams will pack it in a little bit. Uh fortunate that pass was intercepted, but let Maggie McGinnis get in >> Yeah, great job.
So, that's what that plus is. That's the additional cost of cleaning Human. >> Emily, I have I have a question. Um aside from the you know increased square footage >> what so that would that I understand is a difference between like the current contract at 859 and then the budgeted 1 million plus but like if that's what we budgeted and then what's coming in is like 1.2 to is it cost of labor, cost of materials, cost of like >> Yeah. So, there's a few things happening. One is when we do an RFP, we're asking for like the platinum model. Like we want the schools in tiptop shape, like excellent care so that we're always starting from the top when we're negotiating. So, that that's one piece of it. This is the platinum model for cleaning these buildings. Um so, we have room to work with here.
So all of these So all of these um actually I think the power equipment >> is more and Norton is on 100. >> Yeah. But I I believe uh that was that's been approved by the building committee. So that might come off your list here. >> Okay. >> The Norton storage building. We're just putting that that there as a placeholder. That's also in front of the um the next generation school building committee. So they're going to have to tackle that in the next next few weeks. >> Great. So I'll double check on the $100,000 for the power equipment. Did they approve it for Barnum as well? >> They're both for Norand. >> I'll double check because if that's the case, the answer is yes. Okay, great. >> So those four items, storage, building, power equipment, both schools is gone. >> No, no, for the power.
It's the height above grade maybe and stuff. And like I said that could have very well been part of the original um complaint is that it it did not have a railing at the time. I'm glad the complaint wasn't from the neighbor. Yeah, well, [clears throat] you know, I mean everybody who walks cuz it's actually a very high traffic It's in a very high tri-traffic location. There's a sidewalk um on the I guess it would be the southern east property line that cuts through to like lines and Forsyth Elementary. So there's 100 people a day walk by. Now, the reason for asking is that just to establish that this wasn't just an arbitrary >> I don't think so. you know, complaint but it it was a base based on the fact that what Something. I mean I if if there is a neighbor out there who complained I've never heard it because [clears throat] everybody says it's great when they walk by.
You can still do a little bit maybe New Jersey but Midwest forget it. Those days are gone. You have a lot of assumptions about retail business going out as a factor. Does [clears throat] that include um industrial? >> Yeah. does >> cuz unfortunately in this county I I pretty certain we're going to get hit hard here in the next 5 years >> probably. I agree with you on that one. >> The Cooper plant that used to be 1,200 employees within the next two years is going to be 25. >> Yep. >> And the Ricky plant's probably going to be gone. It's been sold six or eight different times now. The Dana plant's already gone. [clears throat] Yeah. And the only thing that's really going to be left is going to be steel dynamics. And they really don't employ that many people. >> So, um, that's going to be another factor of preventing people want to move into the district.
>> open and put it in the back of the net. There's a couple things you probably don't want to do on the defense is leave Maggie open like that and Well, she executed it, so Yeah, you you go for that interception, which is great when you get there. When you don't it's kind of >> Yeah, it's high risk, so it's a the risk reward. >> Risk reward, yeah. And it it wasn't missed by much. Nope. But, uh number five over here, first goal for Maggie McGinnis. So, Maggie's like, you know, Vinnie can't get all the goals, so Maggie scoring her first goal today. Many goals. I know she had a few against uh I think Holliston. Sorry to call. Yeah, she's looking more and more comfortable coming back from her injury. Past, she would be playing midfield, but still at the attack position. Hopefully, later in the season she'll she'll be back to Yeah, she's she's playing midfield.
We we likely have to refine the scope. Um the other piece of this that creates a little uncertainty for cleaning companies is the most of these have unionized labor and uh I am forgetting the union specifically that does the labor here but their contract is up in December 2027. So it's really hard for them to estimate um potential labor costs beyond that point. So I think people are being very cautious about what you know what's driving this cost is their labor. Um you know so I think that that plays into it as well. Um and yeah just just costs are going up in general. But those are kind of the two drivers I think that are pushing this well above because when we budgeted what we are budgeting for is okay if we're increasing our square footage by about 10%. >> Let's increase our budget by about 10%.
>> Oh, sorry. Next one. >> So $145,000 total between Barnum and Norton that I'm going to remove. >> So the Barnum's on the back. It's the last item. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Just double check within. I'm pretty sure that I'm pretty sure that that's the case. But assuming that's the case, that's $145,000 less the seven. So that brings it just below uh $7 million if we get rid of those. Uh the next one is the stage renovations at Dodd. Um I would like to personally voice my concern about the stage at Dodd. I don't know if anyone has walked up there. Um it's in pretty bad shape. Uh like huge slivers of wood are missing. Kids are trying to act Yes. Um I I will try to pull up a picture on my phone. Um but it's it's very it's very very poor condition at this point.
We have a motion. Any more comments? Any questions? I'll make a motion. I move that in case BBA 26-0002 the appeal of the building official's decision at 1620 Hillridge Boulevard is granted relief from section R104.11, R106.1, and R301.1.3 of the 2015 Michigan Residential Code. The Building Board of Appeals reverses the building official's decision for the reasons that the Building Board of Appeals accepts what is proposed as an equal or better form of construction with the following provisions. The applicant has provided additional supportive data on the plans including providing additional tree/timber appropriate fasteners and secondary supports. Two, the applicant will extend secondary grade beams with additional supports to alleviate the load on the western tree adjacent to the curved stair. Three, the applicant will demonstrate flexibility of electrical conduit connection to structure to handle movement. And four, the applicant will provide anchorage of stair to platform to ensure its stability.
There's no jobs here. We've done just about every school district east of Mississippi River that had a major auto plant building in the last 30 years. Not a one of them saw the population growth they thought they would. In fact, it was a Honda plant they built down in Greensburg or something. >> Greenberg, Alabama. >> Yeah. Um, they're looking to close schools and consolidate because they [clears throat] built on interstate. They got people coming from Indianapolis. They're always Cincinnati. No one moved into the district. The workers came to them. The plant north of Evansville, absolutely no impact on their schools than all the Gibson County ones lately. You know, they're just there's this idea that we'll have economic development. we're going to uh have this boom, people move in. Now, people go to the job because most households are too income now. It's not just what your community is, it's what your spouse's commute and you want somebody relatively close to where your kid goes to school in case something comes up.
