And then for legislation, there's only two bills um that really really are active. One is the um you know, Senate bill number 2914. It's remediation. So people think that it needs to happen. They're just asking for more communication. So I did reach out to our legislators last week. We got very quick responses on it. They they know what we feel like. We're not saying we're against this. We're just saying everybody needs to come to the table. These bills need to be better communicated, better thought out before you put bills in place cuz that doesn't help any of us to clean up stuff, you know, like tier two 15 years later, right? So So we want better bills being brought forward and we want more communication on that. And then um the unemployment bill has just kind of seemed to stall at this point and it was pretty much talked that it's not it can't really be funded by school districts at this point.
So it's a it's a way for companies to be able to reward you if you will for reducing the load off of their their grid. So again, these are what we talked about the expanding the scope. So this is not related to our guaranteed energy savings contract. This is an addition to that we talked about last time. So our HVAC and life safety are controls for 21 rooftop units. And I've I've put dollar amounts to each of these, just under five, $551,000 for that work. Then when we look at structural remediation, we've already done the field house roof replacement, right? When you add that to [clears throat] our auditorium remediation, which is coming later in the next, I think the next part of the presentation, that totals $793,570. When we look at upgrading all of our security camera hardware, that's just under $630,000 as noted there.
Any questions or discussion about the human resource recommendations? Out of curiosity, it got brought up today I had kind of jokingly with the some retirees or retirees I have a history with them some of them and tell them denied. So, hypothetically, if the board were to deny human resources recommendations, especially for retirement, what would happen? Come up before. Interesting question that I think our attorney should answer. >> [laughter] >> I I don't think that plan will work, Mr. Glick. Okay, thank you, Mr. Glick. Uh we can do a roll call of votes. Uh board members, you've heard the motion and the second. Uh Mr. Glick, how would you vote? I'll have to vote yes. >> [laughter] >> Ms. Lloyd? I. [clears throat] Uh chair votes I. Mr. Nowlin, your vote? I. Mr. Major, vote? Yes. And Ms. Weelden? I. Thank you. That motion carries 6-0.
The process from when we have that, we get together, pull a package together, LSP opinion letter, um as George had said, and I would say from when we submit to a landfill to when we have an approval with some time for feedback from any given facility is usually in the two to four week range. Two to four weeks, but it was characterized as though this material is being put in a truck and then hauled away. Well, exactly. >> in a truck for two weeks? No, no, no. That That That that approval process happens before they're before they're ex- >> in the truck. So, we have So, so we have, in working with Bob, um we would have all the approvals from the various facilities in hand before they're starting their work, so that that way they can do what we call load and go, excavate, load a truck, >> Okay, I guess and approve the soil.
It's making it very difficult for us. So people need to come together. We need to figure out how to make these things work. And then the last thing is um data center event tomorrow May 20th at 6:30 p.m. at the library. There's a lot of questions about a data center being next to Air Force. Um we should be very appreciative of the alderman out there. I forgot his last name his last name Wilson. Walstead? Walsted? Walsted. Thank you. Walsted, great. He's been very asking a lot of questions of Iron Mountain, getting some information. So if anybody has questions, we are working at getting that recorded so you don't have to attend and then you can watch it. And this looks like it might be a series. This might be the first one, and then I think people do want an actual one on Iron Mountain, and what that means for our community being there.
And then for the district communications with our PA system, that's just under $300,000. Just a couple things to note with that campus security with the new hardware, what that does is it actually reduces the number of devices. We're going from 315 actual devices to 275, while also increasing our views by over 100. The the greatest part of all of that work is while we have 95 plus percentage coverage inside of our buildings, our exterior we're going to have additional viewing angles that we haven't had. And at a much higher pixel rating. At a the standard is 12 pixels to be able to identify a face, we will have 15. And that is at any angle, at any depth if you will for even our exterior cameras at that are at this point will be at that 15 pixels, which is going to help us immensely when the the need arises for that.
Uh we have an opportunity now for board input and review at the close of the meeting. I'll just uh go in order. Ms. Weelden, any input and review this evening? I'm a I'm an import to this community. I have lived here for over 20 years, but I recognize I wasn't born here. So, some of the processes that take place in our school system are very new to me with my children. And I have an oldest who is graduating. And I would just say this community really shows up for graduates. Oh my goodness, the number of award ceremonies and luncheons and banquets and letters and it is just really remarkable all of the places that I get to hear about my kid. Um and it it really is setting her up well for success in the future. So, I just want to appreciate the place that we live.
>> of gets back to why we think you need to characterize the site. Well, part In part of all the other reasons that they had were discussed tonight, another factor to consider, too, is a lot of these facilities, the various landfills, the recycling, they like to see data that's less than a year old when it comes to this characterization. And what we see sometimes is when you're getting over a year, close to two years, facilities may want you to go back and retest some, uh maybe all of it, to confirm the data. And now, um when we were talking earlier, you know, maybe we're spending $50,000 up front, now you're going and and reproducing that effort. Maybe it's not the full 50, maybe it's 25,000, but it's a lot of redone effort just because this was done so early in the game. That That's why full site pre-characterization for offsite disposal of soil, we like to keep within a year of construction.
So, um and then just another plug for another event I'm working on. June 25th, um uh uh there's a woman in our community. Um there's a book written about her, Unsinkable Princess, and it talks about domestic violence, and we know that that is obviously an issue in society. So, June 25th, she will be a guest speaker.
When we look at the PA system again, we are looking for a more reliable. We're going to have those zones, which is going to help with our ability to control the messaging. And that is just going to really help. We've we've duct taped that thing together. And the ability to to do this work just under $300,000 is going to really set us up nicely. So, a lot of enhancements in those two items to our daily operations and our safety and our communications, which is an important part of of our daily safety mechanisms.
Um and then second, sadly, Northside, there were 236 very disappointed people last week when a coach carrier that we had hired to take students to Washington D.C. um called in sick. And so there were no there had to be hundreds of phone calls that took place that night trying to find different ways to get there. Carriers all over the place. Um people really tried to show up. I think they got to go to King's Island on Friday, which I'm still sure was quite a lot to put together on short notice. So I'm just thinking about those kiddos appreciating all the work that went in. There was absolutely no way to get those kids to Washington D.C. is what I'm convinced. Um if there was, I think that team could have done it. So um hope Friday was fun and we can make it up to them somehow.
Okay. All right. We can pursue this a little more in our comments, I guess. Okay. So, does the commission Is the commission comfortable with moving on to, um, flood plains. Uh at the next hearing and coming back to contamination. Sure. Subsequent That's okay. >> me. I'm okay. Excuse me. Um I believe the next topic was storm water per the commission's request. I believe it was the contaminant storm water then flood plain and the and the wetland and the resource areas. Okay. >> So storm water was last? No. Wetlands were last. Yeah, I I had requested maybe we could do riverfront and wetlands together. You said we would revisit that later, but storm water was next on the topics. >> Yeah, storm water's fine. Okay. Um we are going to open it up to the public if the Conservation Commission has no more questions. So either come up to the podium or if you're online, raise your hand.
If anybody has any questions, and then we're also starting a series on domestic violence in the community, so we can better educate our community, have a safer community altogether, so. Where are you doing this? That is going to be at the library as well, June 25th. The data center meeting is Wednesday? To Yeah, yeah, Wednesday, thank you. Wednesday, the 20th. That's why I wrote down the date. I don't know what day it is anymore. And that is at 6:30. That will be recorded, so everybody can watch it. We want to have a very well-informed community and educate our entire community, so. Perfect. Thank you. Thanks, Tina. Um I um Jean and I were were lucky enough to go to the drone soccer expedition at AMS, and it was so so fun to see all of our drone soccer athletes um working under drones, trying to fly their drones, and then fixing their drones.
Any questions on any of those? With the deployment of the new security camera hardware, are we getting any more new cameras? That's all brand new cameras. All brand So, we're replacing every every camera, both interior and exterior, and adding some again of the exterior views. That that is going to allow us to see more into parking lots, more into our fields for for better coverage of our campuses. Okay. Maybe just as a reminder that we added the new software I think about two months ago. And and the work with that what that allows us to do too is we have a five-year license on on the software on the cloud component that is tied with the the cameras themselves, right? The cameras themselves are our eyes. And it's really the software that makes it work, but our eyes are getting very blurry as as they're getting older as I can attest to.
Give me a second, Mr. Major. Input and review this evening. Yeah, I got three real quick things. First thing, uh I talked last time about having a safety security meeting. I know we haven't met since October, so it'd be good if we could have one of those scheduled along with uh an update from last week's uh uh board work session. You know, I think we need to have another one of those um to focus on the financial audit policy. Uh the information I have for our robotics teams from worlds uh showed that the Smith team was 78th out of 157 teams and that the Fageria team was 56 out of 342. Uh at these events, if you've ever been to one, it's not necessarily whether that team actually was the 78th or 56th best. It's usually based on how they're paired with another team because it's very collaborative.
Through the commission, I'll also remind anyone in person, please as you come up to you make your comment, use the sign-in sheet so we can get your name and address correct for the meeting record. And those commenting online, please state your name and address clearly. And we should try to keep it to 3 minutes, but [snorts] we'll take it a comment at a time cuz it looks like there are a lot of people that have comments. Mark DeSaulnier, go ahead. Okay. Mark DeSaulnier, 119 Main Street. Looking at the time, we're both 10 of 9, so we're going to talk for almost 2 hours. Are we going to get 2 hours of comments? Yeah, you're you're down to an hour 2 minutes and 45 seconds, Mark. Okay. Characterization, site walk-ins, and testing the soils. Why did it take 2 years to come up with this when it could have been done that two years ago when it first got put on the site plans.
They were so patient and so wonderful to watch, and it was just so great to walk into a Backwoods gym and see these three huge inflatable I don't know. They're not huge. Cages. They're cages. They're not cages. I don't know, but yeah, they're like these huge inflatable whatever whatever cages, I guess. Um and they had different um things the drones had to do. They had two They had two teams kind of playing drone soccer, and one was doing more like aerial tricks, and one was doing um like follow like follow hoops on the floor. And so, thank you so so much to the um teachers who are coaches for jump start. It was just so fun and thank you so much for keeping that going. And thank you to the Rivers for being there. Um, that was wonderful. Um, most of us were able to get to the retirement dinner for our wonderful retirees in the 62.
I need to go to the eye doctor and get mine mine sharpened up, but that is that will be again a huge ability. And as a reminder with that system, it is not just reactive, it's proactive as well. And and that has we've gotten a lot of great feedback from our use with that new software. And Travis, what would the ETA be on the deployment of the new security camera hardware? It'll done this summer. So it'll be ready ready by the fall. >> Yep. Summer PA would be done this summer. Um auditorium remediation would be done. Uh the control stuff with the rooftop units is already in progress. That is needed for our health life safety work um that we're doing. And obviously the field house roof is is done. So we're all everything that's on there uh would be uh completed this summer. Cool.
And sometimes there's differences in how those two teams, their styles are and and their performance. So um while they didn't get top 10 teams in worlds, they all did learn a lot and did represent us well. And then the last thing I wanted to highlight uh kind of tagging along with what Nikki just mentioned was I just wanted to uh congratulate all the seniors for making it through the all the way to the end and now a new beginning starts and I just want to wish them safety over the next couple of weeks as they as they celebrate and begin you know either their summer before they go to college or their start to work career somewhere and so I want to just congratulate all them and then thank all the BCSC employees that made this year happen and get those kids across the goal line and then welcome back next year early all those those those BCSC employees and students.
Think people are are dragging their feet waiting for excuses, waiting for the state to to overrun everything in the town to try to get an advantage. So, I'm I'm going to go wholeheartedly why do we have to wait if nothing's going to get done nothing's going to get started. Yes, there is contamination. Yes, there is pesticides. Yes, there is Ten Apple. We know that as town as a history. We didn't have We waited 50 plus years to get that land to what it is now and still it's not in pristine shape. I said it once before and I'll say it once again. It would be the development of the here EPA DEP instead of DEP EPA listen to the developers. Thank you. Thank you, Mark. Name and address, please. Uh uh Johnson Road four Roberts Road. Um the applicant said it's not customary to do all the environmental testing or pre-characterization for contamination before obtaining the building permits.
