So that is the request. >> Thank you. >> Mr. Wright, >> thank you. So I just want to highlight I think this is a real benefit of the performance contract you're talking about. If I heard you correctly, Dittle, the roof we're replacing is 30 more than 32 years old. It's a it's effectively a maintenance project that I think the overwhelming majority of people in town would support and understand it needs to be done. And yet with a I'm confident this costs more than the half million dollars. Is it the value's got to be above the half million dollars for a referendum number >> for DU? >> Yes. But >> yeah. >> Yes, it is. But because of the way we're financing it under the energy performance contract, there is no referendum. >> Exactly. My my point being we don't have to bother the voters with it.

I did I do want to comment on graduation and promotion season because it's always um one of our uh most fulfilling times to watch the students uh cross the stage. Well, I don't think this was the coldest one to date. People can argue with me about this, but 23 years of this I um have to say I think there have been colder ones, but three days of bitter cold and wind um did make it interesting. I know that our graduates will have a lifetime of memories um as they experience what I was calling graduation obstacle course holding diploma covers, hats, sashes, and cell phones while simultaneously shaking hands and walking. I will point out that we learned how to shake hands with two or three fingers because that's all that was out for a student. But um they were shaking as they were doing it and they all had smiles and so um I agree that the heart it was heartwarming to to experience it.

Um but that did happen. >> Um people's had too much fun I guess. Um and then also I wanted to mention the shout out the CC student interns which you guys might have seen cuz I think they were all highlighted on the Instagram page I believe. Um, but just so cool to again see, you know, some of your students like passions you kind of didn't know about like, oh, that person's interested in dermatology or they want to be a police officer or um like I know there was like a really cool like, you know, business or a few businesses that were made and that's just like so neat to see these like passions from your like peers who you don't normally like hear about that side of them um in your classes. So anyway, very cool to have that showcased um during lunches. And then um just more senior things I want to highlight because it was literally the most amazing like past two weeks just really sweet capping everything off.

I'm fully confident that they would support doing something like this. So >> I'm just highlighting that as a a benefit of the performance contract. >> It's coming right. It's coming off the capital plan that we've been carrying for years. So we're finding an alternative way to fund it through the energy savings. >> Yeah. So instead of instead of uh doing it through the radio referendum, we're basically I mean in my mind we're basically taking money out of our energy budget and moving it over to the debt budget covering it. We don't have to pay we don't have to ask the voters to decide on another question when oftentimes we have a lot of questions on the ballot already. So anyway, thank you for this. >> Welcome. I >> I was just wondering when when the work will take place. I mean, are there students in the building?

Um, yesterday's adult education graduation is always wonderful to be our last because of the obstacles and barriers that these students have faced in order to either get their diploma or their high school equivalency. our speaker from Apple Valley um was one that participated in a CTE program where they um not took didn't just um receive one certification but three in um medical so that they can be in the workforce but as they spoke yesterday they spoke about addiction and not the addiction that we would assume somebody would talk about at graduation uh a student that's attending adulthad but rather the addiction that grew as she started in adulthood because she found adults that were supporting her and she became addicted to learning. So for me watching that it's it doesn't matter who the student is, it doesn't matter the year, it is one of the most powerful educational experiences I have.

Is it during summer? What? Uh well that's a great question. It's u likely most of this work will be for next summer. Uh if there are portions of the work that can be done you know after hours when there are no students in the building we would do that. But the this is you know one of several you know projects that we'll be doing over the course of the remainder of this year and into next summer. So I will be coming before the board to ask for educational specs for additional portions where we'll be applying for grants. This one is a priority because it relates to the solar projects and and we do have a list of of timelines. So these become important for us. >> Okay. >> Dr. Han. >> Hi Vin. >> Hi. Can you remind us of the the whole solar project very briefly how we came to the decision of of these particular spots?

Um but then to turn I feel like we have to celebrate other things. So um last week um several several weeks back almost a month and a half ago I was asked to provide students to um speak at the superintendent uh county superintendent's advisory for his leadership up here in um the high desert. So he had an all hands um management meeting and I needed to come up with three students who had participated in their um superintendent advisory for the county. Those students meet with this the county superintendent and facilitators twice during the year. They take on a um community problem and come up with solutions for it. Often the focus is mental health. Um they are typically related to um students and what they want to see happen either at their schools or in the community. This year it was Apple Valley High School's graduation day and while I had a student from Apple Valley High School that was willing to come in between practice um we focused on Granite instead and um because we were going to try to put bring one from each of the schools.

>> Yeah. So we that the initial effort was to try and um reduce the energy that we purchased from the grid by installing solar across our schools. We engaged with Eneria and then issued an RFP, hired Johnson Controls. There was a thorough review done of all the places in our schools on the roofs and on the ground where we can install solar. So we narrowed it down to the two new schools as well as the high school Dodd Highland and Dittle to do solar. So we'll have solar arrays either rooftop which is most of it but also groundbased arrays at Norton New Norton and New Barnum as part of the project plan. And what's where's the solar at um dot >> rooftop all rooftop >> but but that's not that's not going to require new roof. >> No because we've done most of the roof roof replacement work at dot in previous years.

She goes, "These girls, where did you find them?" And I said, "Well, I didn't.

So where the solar arrays will go we've got 20 year roof life. >> Great. Thank you very much for that. >> Miss Fitzgerald. >> Yeah. I just have a question. And I'm sure there's just so much. I I I I appreciate all this that I don't understand though. The cost per square foot. I was just wondering like why it's so different between the two. Is it like complexity of the roof or um Yeah, just >> some of you do little is a full rip up of the old roof system and a brand new install. Um at the high school in Highland, it's a partial rip and an overlay on those roof systems. So that's why the cost difference is dittle is the most because it is the biggest roof system. Highland is the second largest. It's 74,000 versus 62,000 square ft. >> And then the high school is the smallest.
