001consolidated consolidated application completed and our some I guess some good news there is the federal revenue only went down $664. So I wish it would have went up but it didn't go down as bad as maybe some were predicting. So really not that much there. Uh another good news from the federal standpoint the rate funding that we get each year for our internet and some category 2 equipment that was withhel upheld at the Supreme Court 63. So that funding will continue for the - rate. We like I said that's our internet connectivity. We get 80% reimbursement on some of the unknowns which is still a big unknown in the major part of our budget is the state budget. We're sitting here June 30th and no budget. I know I saw interviews today and I know
002Arma said it too. They're optimistic. There's three or four items they can get think they can get done pretty quickly. I don't know if I'm too optimistic. So here we are again another year. you have to make a decision with not all the with all the n without all the numbers in front of you. Uh however, since our last meeting uh in May when we presented the preliminary budget, we did make some changes on it and when you see in your agenda tonight for approval F5525, the numbers have changed some there. And I'm going to going to give you the numbers and I know Dr. for Dr. Angelo will talk about in his superintendent report why we we we did what we did. It has to do with staffing. The expenditures originally were at 36,363102
003and then the revised final budget which is on your agenda tonight is um 36,28,526. There's a net decrease of almost $155,000 worth of expenditures that we uh were able to reduce costs from the preliminary to the final budget. And like I mentioned before, the revenues changed a little bit, not because only the federal funding, but we did cut some staffing, which our reimbursement on the FICA and the retirement would have went down from the state as well too. So the revenues numbers went from 35 million $30,271 down to 35 million8,714 which is a decrease of $21,557. But overall we're bringing you a net uh savings to this final budget of almost a little bit over $133,000 from where we were in the preliminary. And like again uh in the superintendent's report, Dr. for DRA Angela
004will go over those the changes that we have positive changes not only saving money but positive uh moving forward for the district. Any questions? Looks like we have a lot of downtime. Uh thank thanks everybody for the the the whole budget process. Um again not having all the facts in front of you not know where we're going to be. We're just it's going to wait up to the state to get our final numbers and as soon as I get them I'll report back to you in July, August. Hopefully it's in July at the next board meeting. Thanks. Thank you. I know it's not listed on uh the committee of the whole but I do see Mr. Sutter sitting out here. Um Ed, with all the rain that we've had, how are we doing for humidity
005levels in the high school? I see we have the the fans out in the in the hallways which are obviously off for the meeting, but uh how are we doing uh since we don't have our new erus just yet? Great. Thank you. 52%'s a better number than what my dehumidifier in my house is running right now. We can give an update on the electrical project where we're at. Okay. Should have been on the agenda as well. Eric, since we have a couple minutes, can we also get an update on all the work in the field? Possibly. It just started. Yeah, that'd be great. just give an update on the electric part because I know what was final what needed to be finalized was the electric switches in the middle school or elementary and middle schools
006all right so uh the the generator at the admin was done and that's been done for a good while uh the two things that remained the two big issues were getting uh the switch gear installed at RK Melon and the marker building Uh the marker building was more of a challenge because we had to take a a massive louver out and everything actually had to be lowered with a forklift down into the building. All the gear had to be taken apart into sections and lowered down in and then we had to remove the gear. So we were without power, without generators. So we had uh probably three to four days up there where we were dead in the water. Uh we had uh uh we had to empty all the freezers and coolers. So that
007that went very well. We're up and running. The gear has been installed. Uh and it seems to be working fine. Then they did Arcade Melon. Uh here again, that wasn't as bad. They they kind of wanted to get out of here, so they did it in like two and a half days. Uh so it's up. It's running. We have some finetuning that Seammens, the manufacturer, has to do uh on some sensitivity issues. Uh we had some doors installed Saturday on the fireproof rooms that they had to create around the switch gear. So, other than some painting, some panel schedules, taking down the stacks from the old exhaust, uh we're pretty much we're pretty much done with that project. And I I I give a lot of credit to Merit Electric because they were really they
008hung in there and they got it done. It it was a long project that started before I came here. So it will be done. So July Yes. Yeah. July 16th, the uh the consulting engineer will be in and and Merit Electric will be in and we'll go through and if they see something that we haven't seen or aren't aware of, then the punch list will be complete. So I think I think they've been paid off with the retainage. Hopefully they'll have a final bill, right? Right. And you know the CTC investment. Yep. Yep. Uh, as far as uh the baseball field, uh, we discovered that, uh, there's a heck of a lot of top soil out there, way more than what we need. So, uh, but it's progressing. Uh, they have it almost cut down
009to grade right now. Uh, and they have the top soil stockpiled. So, I think, uh, there was some hauled away today. Uh, but there was there was a lot of good top soil on that field. Um, as far as the, uh, eru projects, uh, TP Electric and, um, uh, DAR construction, uh, they've been in working on it. Uh, talked to a gentleman from DAR today. I think this week they're going to remove, uh, ERU one and two, which would be the two units on the back side of the building. Uh they'll be bringing a crane in and lifting them off and doing their preparations to get them ready. Uh there's a lot of uh scaffold work and prep work down in the well, it's not really the boiler room, but the mechanical room. Uh they
010have to they're sliding plank out across some of the conduit and kind of creating a a workspace above the floor. Uh so everything is uh moving on the agenda tonight is uh accepting the bids for the exercise room. So that'll be another project uh hopefully that goes rather smoothly. So we're we're progressing. So any questions? Have those uh carpet installs been scheduled yet? Uh I sent them the last couple pieces of information that they needed to get that was like code base colors, things like that. So, they will be done hopefully before they will be done before school starts. Perfect. Just real quick, I know we didn't talk about this and as an agenda item or anything, but I had asked about some sort of wheelchair access to the playground at Did we do anything
011with that? Uh, I have a ramp. Uh, I'm getting ready to order it. I will take a piece of curb out and we'll put like a stone there. Most everything on that playground was mulch. So, we're going to create a little stone pathway, uh put a ramp, a handicap ramp up onto the equipment, and we are going to purchase a new uh uh handicap swing so the the student can be still have to be lifted, but it'll be a little more inclusive than going all the way down to the end of the playground. So, that is that'll be done this summer. That's fantastic. money. Great. Thanks so much. Some federal money. Yeah. Okay. And I do have a question about the the storm drain thing down at Weller Park. I know the burrow is just
012do they're doing this whole new storm drain thing now. I trust no one. So, so that's what I was going to say. So, what's going to happen come August? My my plan is because we we had uh Vicle in last year and we we shot that pipe out, but that was like a week before football season or before the first game. So this year I'm planning on having them come in like the day before so they can't blow any gravel back up in there. Okay. And they did do a lot of work on that uh uh catch basin where all the drains come together. But uh when uh when the uh when the cog or when uh the municipal authority comes in to shoot those drains, they tend to get gravel pushed back up into
013ours. So we don't we don't have a crushed pipe or anything like that. It's just almost level coming out of that concession stand because the ele the invert of the the manhole is is high. Yeah. So So we are we are we are I don't want any more problems this year. That was that was a that was a rough time rough way to start my first year. So So hopefully uh everything will be it'll be good. Be peachy. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Definitely want to thank the burrow for helping out with the home football games. Yes. With them setting up the temporary uh handicap parking there along the uh friendship park and the tennis courts and things like that as well. Actually, we did that. Oh, that was they we got permission from them. But that
014day, the day of graduation, it was crazy because there were cars parked there all day because it was it was a beautiful day, beautiful night for graduation. But there were people at Friendship Park all day. So as people would pull out, I'd hurry up and go down and put a cone there. So So I think we had enough spaces to accommodate everybody. But that was uh that was kind of a challenge because Okay. Are you are you parked here? Oh, okay. What a county. So So that's how that's how that got accomplished. But we we try to work with the township and the burrow cooperatively. uh you know but we all have to you know coexist in the same you know in the same area. Uh there are a number of different things that uh
015policies that the burrow have that township doesn't. So you know inspections and things like that. So, it's always kind of a a tight rope to walk, you know, make sure that we get our backflow preventers inspected and fire hydrants inspected and, you know, different different uh different rules with the municipal authority as opposed to the burrow. So, well, thank you, Ed, for keeping up on all of that. Well, I have a big long list. Post-it notes. Post-it note. We have post-it notes. That works. We are working on the fiveyear plan, too. Uh Ed did email me some today. We got uh the framework together. We're going to get the pricing out, right? And I know Dr. Dark Angelo wanted us to get that to the board. So, we are working on that. Good. Okay. Well,
016Eric put in the budget more post-it notes. Very big stack. Yeah. Big stack. The big ones. I like the ones with the lines on. Thank you, Ed. Well, it is currently 6:16, so we have about approximately a 14 minute wait before our regular board meeting will start at 6:30. So, we'll see you back then.
