001Good evening everybody. We'll go ahead and start with tonight's committee of the whole. >> Apologies for running a few minutes late. Uh the committee of the whole shall start at 612 and Mr. Koshious has two bits of information for us this evening about the baseball complex and the budget. Good evening. >> Good evening. There we go. It's only going to take two hours. Okay. No, I'm joking. Probably take like two minutes. Um, let me I'll go I'm going to skip. I'm going to go over the budget first. Uh, budget update. Uh, from the state, uh, it's still nothing has been done yet. Uh, I know they're optimistic and I know Justin got a text this afternoon on saw on social media they're hoping to get it soon. I I don't know. I have no answer
002for you at all. So the state, I just have no idea. We'll see where it goes. Now, unfortunately, on June 30th when I stood here and said that everything was good for federal, well, June 30th at midnight, they put out a memo. They're freezing title two and title 4. So that's about between the title 2 is 57,000, the title 4 is about 27,000. It's not that they've gone away, it's just they're frozen right now. I know there's state suing what's going on. So, I don't know if they're in jeopardy or not. Uh, the consolidated application was done by Justin. They kicked those two back. We're just I'll keep you updated on that, but uh the money's frozen, but not has not been gone away. So, just keep you updated on those two things with the
003state and federal budget. Uh, the last thing is uh on the baseball complex. Well, if it would stop raining, we could keep moving, but uh tomorrow they're going to be back at it again. they had to wait till the uh till it it wasn't that wet on the field. And you'll see tonight on the agenda there are a couple minor change orders for the project. Um I know it starts out change orders two through five. Change order one number one was the deduct that we had when you initially did the contract. We removed a couple things and lowered the cost on that. So that was change order number one. So change order two through five. Um it's the uh additional silt raw uh it should say silt silt sock that was needed and some removal
004of the of some some top soil. That's change order one. Change order three is the cav foul. We had to get a new cav foul because with all this top soil we had to dig another foot and two inches down so we wouldn't have to bring another all that fill in. So a minor change there uh is going to help save tons of money. that could have been what they were saying at the minute on our last week's meeting that could have been a couple hundred,000 with removing the top soil and bringing all this um fill in. So, I think this is pretty minor of a change order there as well. The change order four is the Verizon line relocation. It was not hit. It was noticed that there was a copper line there. Uh
005that was for them to move the copper line so we could have set the right field wall. And the the fifth one there is unsuitable soil that was found at the right foot wall. when they went down, it was percolating to excavate that out and put the rock base down and put the uh material over it. That will uh make it where the the right field wall is pretty uh uh stable. We don't have to worry about any issues of it sinking. But, you know, you're going to find these things when you go through the project. So, those change orders there are about $21,000. But, there is some good news and we don't have to put on the on the uh agenda. The building permit was budgeted around almost $21,000 and alls we need is
006a zoning permit for the baseball field. So that is going to save us probably I'm thinking around $15,000 right there. So with less of a building permit issue that we'll have with the township with these change orders that pretty much nets it off. And we do still have contingency put back for this project as well too. And just knock on wood. I think long as we don't have to touch it, I think we're moving forward and and 3D Muran's been very good to work with. uh they've been trying to uh minimize any cost, any change orders through this whole project and really working good with the whole team. So, I want to applaud them as well too. But no more rain for a couple days. That'd be good. Any questions? Do you have any responses
007to some of the questions that a board member sent to you that you wanted to share? Is that >> Yes, I do. >> I can answer them. Hold on. >> Good catch, Cindy. Uh, there was Give me one second to look for him up. You should be able to pull them up here. The one question the board member had was about the ex excess top soil. As you see it right now, everything out there is going to be on there is good. They're going to use it for the back fill. There was another day. So, there's going to be another small change order number six probably for a couple thousand dollar. They were able to work on a Saturday or actually on a Sunday and getting 10 big truckloads out. So that'll be an additional
008change order, but the rest of the top soil we have out there is all good and that will be used for back fill around the stadium and all that. So that's good. And let me find the other one here. I think I got it. Okay, here it is. Um the dirt pal. So that was the answer with the other with the soil. The second one was, can the dirt be used for the baseball field to help with the issues and the holes down there? And um there is some uh ruts down there, but however, we have we we actually just met today. I met with Ed and Dawn. We're going to we have a plan for this fall to do that to um overairate and overseat it and then uh with some top dressing. But
009on each side of the main practice field, there is practice space down there that they can use that is in good shape. And um we're going to use we're going to recommend that to the coach and and if we need an extra field goal post to just build that and have that for them. But there is plenty of room down there. But we are going to take the the thing this fall and do the recommendation that we talked about today to get rid of that. And it's not going to need nearly as much top soil that we that we had over here. Um the concession stand uh with the hornets nest that was addressed. We went down there Ed and myself and it was a dormant nest. We did spray it and and Ed did
010remove it. So, that's gone. Uh, why can't the band practice on the football field? There's no events that's going to be held on the football field through the summer. There's a lot of events that are held in the fall. And we got to maintain uh the integrity of that because I think there was like 55 events held there last year with soccer and uh all the football games, junior high, varsity, and JV and the soccer. So, we're limiting that to people are just going to use that for games for the fall there. the the speaker at the Wellerfield. There was never an issue with that. The Wi-Fi went down during graduation, so there was never a speaker issue. It was a Wi-Fi issue that night. I confirmed that with the AD. And question number six
011was, can there be a reference document created and posted to the district website by the high school guidance counselor that clearly outlines the courses needed for consideration be accepted for college and trade schools and so on. I think that has been addressed. there was a document out there and uh I think that has been addressed as well too. Yeah. So that those are the questions that were answered and I wanted to make that for the whole board. That's uh be aware of it because an email was sent around. Any other questions? >> Eric. >> Thank you. >> Sorry I wasn't more prepared. I did have it. >> Okay. Um unless Mr. Sutter has a report or any of our other administrators have a report. Uh we can conclude the committee of the whole because there's
012nothing else listed. Does anybody have anything for the good of the order from the administration? Okay. Then we will conclude the committee of the whole at 620.
