We've finished recent projects at Country Meadow and Waterloo. This summer we're adding more to the update and we'll have more adjustments on this document with the completion of the controls work at the middle school, controls work at Watson, and new air handlers, as you can see here on this document, for the high school. This document, we we anticipate and hope to get 25 to 30 years out of our air handlers. So, the green section is kind of the area of these air handlers or boiler units, for example, or chillers that we we feel very confident we're going to get that time in. The red area is where let's let's we're getting close. We're getting close. So, you can see that there's white there. Well, we're well beyond. So, the business is we've kept these up and running and we've gotten a lot of life out of this equipment, a lot of bang for the buck.

So, that's a that's maybe a $500 to $1,000 repair. Um it's not a big expense. Is it on the list? It is on the list. It's I I'm not sure. If it's not, I can add it to it. It's something we could possibly do internally. Okay. Um and then we can skip over to Newton Street School. Um I know um that's kind of been one of the schools if something has to be shut down, that's where it's happened in the past and re- purposed and whatnot. The The boilers in there are probably the oldest boilers we have in the school. They probably have another 10 to 15 years of life in them. Um but they may may they may need some a little more repair work and stuff to keep them going. Um they're not terribly old, but they're getting older. Um that heating system we have three air handler units that go in the attic.

You may not listen, choose to keep your cushion jobs, but the taxpayers has spoken. 27% turnout. A huge turnout last night, and I didn't keep count like everybody does on the comments, but substantial amount of them were about the administration of the schools to plan. So, don't make a stab at it this year and wait, and I say next year more taxpayers will be more upset, and more will come out to vote and to voice their thoughts. Your job is just going to get harder because you're going to kick it down the road, and we still have the following budget cycle, the fourth year of the phase-in. So, if you're looking at this budget the way it is, and think that it's okay, wait until the final one, which is the budget season, and you're going to have harder decisions to make. Well, there's a lot of misinformation that seems to be floating around at last night's meeting saying a $5,000 painting of a door is floating around on social media.

In addition to the optional school supply packs that we're offering to all preK through third grade students um for purchase to cover all those supplies at a reduced rate, we are going to be supplying each grade with a full set of clipboards and grade specific scissors. Um, we wanted to let the powers that be know that in uh in advance just so that those items can be removed from the required school supply lists. So, they'll no longer need clipboards at any grade level or scissors at any grade level.

Um so, seeing they're in the attic, they have to have glycol in the system to keep everything from freezing. Um we've had some issues trying to maintain pressure in that glycol system, so every year we spend around $1,500 recharging it with glycol to make it through the heat season, and wherever it's evaporating or disappearing to, we can't trace it. Um they also one of the air handling units are down right now. We're ordering some parts for it, and we have to have a custom-made um blower in there because those all those air handling units are no longer able to get parts for. So, we're counting on custom-made things for them for the time being. We could probably get another 5 or 10 years out of them, but there could be some downtime and expenses to more expensive parts due to custom-made. Um I think it was around $1,500 range to replace a blower and a few parts.
