00164. Okay. Jeff, Valley, John Club, and Council NX. At our last meeting, we broke into groups to plan different events like coronation which was yesterday and it went well and Cali called me were our king and queen. Um and then active night is going to be this Friday after the basketball game and we're going to have a big night again. advisory games. There was an email sent to the different advisers with a list of all the games and they asked volunteers for advisories. >> We started with the first one today. >> All right. Any questions for this group? Thank you guys. All right. 7.0 is uh to have some uh informal discussions with the school resource officer. So, go ahead. >> So, um board members, I can kind of get you up to speed on
002this, but uh basically Alan Anderson and I and a number of his staff have been having some conversations. Um, we have had some interest from our public in the district um to looking into having a student or a school resource officer present at the middle high school building. Um, and the reasons for that kind of the the big three would be the the the most important one is immediate response. Um, our nearest town to this building is um 10 11 miles away depending upon which direction you're going. Um, so that does limit response times if we were to have a critical incident out here. The other piece would be enhance enhancing safety. U, but we've had some really good conversations too about the ways that this could also enhance mentorship and in some ways even
003education. We would continue the the DARE program as a part of this if we were to do it. But we've also talked about, you know, we're we're we're always trying to enhance our um career technical education training. Could there be opportunities to expose kids to um careers in criminal justice or things like that? And that would all be farther down the road. But um what we've talked about for the most part, we're not asking the board to approve anything right now really. What we want to do is share a little bit with the board about what our conversations have been. um give you an opportunity to ask us questions um and give us feedback or guidance that then we would take to have you know to to put together a proposal that we would actually
004bring back to the board um if it was the board's wish. Um what we've talked about is being able to um have somebody out here most of the time. Um I we had a program like this when I was in Minowasa. It was similar there as well because they that person is a law enforcement officer. If there's a need and they're short-handed, they need to call that person, they would go, you know, um or there's days they have trainings. So, they wouldn't be here every moment of every day. However, they would be here most of the time and um it certainly would en enhance the safety um of the building. So, um and then we have representatives from the sheriff's department here. Would you guys like to introduce yourselves please? >> I'm Brian Bank >>
005and wanted to be here today. It's all good >> and feel free to anything I didn't share guys or or whatever feel free to jump in here but uh just you know in light of things that uh that are have happened in the world and and and things uh just safety being the highest priority we have for our kids here. Um that's the conversation we wanted to bring. Um, you know, talking to Allan, it sounds like we've kind of been on the doorstep of this a couple times and for whatever reason just haven't gone all the way. Um, and that's what we want to bring before the board is would the board be in favor of of trying to put together a proposal that would be actionable, I guess, in the future. And I think
006um, and again, jump in if I'm wrong, but the way Allan described it to me was, you know, we try to create a proposal that would allow us to get it off the ground and give us place to build from and then over time we would, you know, to the degree that it's working and that we can continue to do so and that finance is allowed, we could always then grow the program. >> So my first question both the county attorney and both uh the deputies here, it's to my understanding as you are out there, right? You got the full letter of the law. You can apprehend, you can restrain, you can cuff, you can haul to jail. When you walk through these doors as a school resource officer, what kind of constraints are you
007held to? Because I've been told you lose some of your abilities as a law enforcement person the minute you walk through these doors. Like let's say you're here, you have a problem with a student or students fighting. You cannot necessarily arrest or anything like that to detain. You have to call your buddy who's on duty to come in through the door in order to do that if you're a school resource office officer. And this is one of our topics that we've had in our conversations we've been meeting and one one of the questions we haven't fully been answered yet. And that is one one of our main questions that we ask ourselves too. What limitations do we have as a police officer being in a school out here when we sign a contract? Are we
008now considered a school employee? Are we still a full law enforcement officer? These are questions that we still have. Well, that's just one of my concerns because I mean I understand the nice thing to have is the peace of mind that we have an armed individual who has been trained to use said sidearm if necessary in case of what's been happening in light of what's been happening around our state and let alone around the country. So that was my one thing, you know, because I' I've been a big proponent at least to have law enforcement present during the loading and the unloading of kids, meaning the Apple PD at the elementary school in the mornings and in the afternoons, like out of their vehicles, walking amongst the kids to make sure if there would be
009a wouldbe person that might want to cause a problem, at least they're on boots on the ground with accessibility to whatever measures it takes to detain a suspect or person. Same with Madison. And then out here at the high school whereas at a bare minimum have the presence because obviously being a veteran presence matters right and if you look the part you have the equipment obviously a wouldbe person will think twice right so that was at the very minimum I'm not opposed against the school resource office obviously we can afford it but I don't want you to be constrained I want you to be able to do your >> [clears throat] >> stay employees of the county. So be contracted away because you will be called out. So there there is some there were some
010restrictions in the statute a few years ago. I had to go back and look at that a little closer to kind of where we're going. But but they would stay employees. They're still >> right. Something I can share too just from my previous district, we we had SRO in the building and and it was right at the time where some of that legislation was happening and it was getting a little bit you know what can you do, what can't you do and things like that and and you know again I would want you to look at this and see where we're at now but at the time um where we landed on it was it was one we we really don't want to put our um SRO in the place that they are the the
011first go-to as far as hands-on. That would really be a really hopefully something that would be a last resort and in a very extreme situation. And then what we what we just um what what we liked about it though was like you said, you have somebody who has the training and can respond immediately if you have one of those situations that we all hope you don't have. But in the meantime, you also have somebody who is present and can decide if we do need to have a police presence come from the outside so that we can have a a more hands-on response if it were to become necessary. Um, that was kind of how we got around it there. and then the person that did it at that time. And that that office, we felt
012like if the person's acting in in good faith, they're not going outside of their training and you know, things like that that that plays a role as well. Um, but at the end of the day, what we like about it is you have that person there. And then the other piece that I would say that that I really saw a lot of was the relationships with kids. We had a lot of kids. um the officer who was present in our in our building like every morning they were out there and kids were you know giving them fist bumps and you know hey officer Eric how you doing like in and in in many cases your at risk kids were the ones they had the best relationships with and that was uh that was nice because
013then when you had those times where somebody might be disregulated they had another face that they recognized that they trusted Um, and sometimes, you know, the other piece that it was a reality is if that officer or that department ends up visiting a house at night, those kids have had experiences with our officers and know that they're they're good people and they're safety. >> Yeah, I agree. I think at a bare minimum even if we don't if the SRO don't work out the sheer fact that we can work out an agreement where we can have police presence like I said during the loading and unloading where again you're going to get the fist bumps you're going to get the hello good morning officer D as they're all walking I mean yeah it's been chilly mornings
014but you put a coat on and a sign cap would they come out of the building they load on the bus at a bare minimum but they're at least present and that would you know obviously the response time to getting out this area you have to be a magician. I mean, we get that and it would be great to have an SRO. >> Yeah. So, I I focus for having an SRO. Um I think I've said this before. The only thing that that worries me about any of the stuff that we do out here is we have a long distance for somebody to get hired. And that's the only thing that that you say keeps me up at night. It's that piece. So I'm in full support of trying to get this worked out and
015get an SRO in that building. >> So would that be something if we ended up going with an SRO that we could work with county to have a deputy during the loading and unloading in Madison work with the applicant PD to have a policeman or woman there at the loading and unloading dismounted applicant and then have the SRO here. >> Yeah. And that would depend on those >> obviously it's dependent it's obviously met DC right it's it's dependent upon what situations are happening obviously if they're responding to an emergency or something else and they can't be there that is what it is but I mean if it's at all possible we can coordinate and work that out again they don't have to be there 100% of the time but it's all about presence >> and
016I can say right now we're not probably boots on the ground on the sidewalk anymore parking by the school and so >> and that's good too but there again you know as well as I do it takes a matter of seconds for somebody to jump out of a vehicle and do something that they probably shouldn't and I'm not saying if your boots on the ground you're going to but you're going to be there quick or you're going to be in the general facility you know what I'm saying >> yeah I'm good availability money for grants. Is this through anything? >> Yeah, there is a um so there's school um school safety dollars the districts get every year and that is something that we could look at allocating um toward that and it's escaping me right
017now that we already had it allocated to something this year. [snorts] But that is a a pot of money that we can um utilize as well. and and Drew and I have sat down and and looked at at the finances. And part of what what I wanted to be able to commit to is if we're going to do this that we would feel comfortable that we could finance it for at least three years because we don't want to start something and go to the process of people getting trained and everything and then a couple years in we can't do it anymore. Um and so we we are committed that we feel like we we can do that. my conversations. We haven't come to to to a hard number yet. Um, right now, I think Allan
018is trying to to pilot it or begin it without having to make additional hires, which would keep the cost lower to start with. Now, over time, if we wanted to be able to continue that, that might change, you know, but then I don't [clears throat] know if you guys have anything additional to say in that regard or not, but Will the town board get behind this? >> So we we've started to stop this discussion a few times in the past, but they understand the different situation that's out here versus like the school. from starting off piloting and kind of looking at like if you want kind of an idea what the schedule would look like. Um we do like a six week rotating schedule in our office and out of those 42 days 12 weekend
01922 days that we could that's one we're fully staffed there's no training no I think we're kind of talking about this pilot part of an hourly rate type thing or something like that. So that we don't feel like no one's being taken advantage of. We're kind of played out a little bit to see how that schedule works. And out of those 22 beuties, his deputy beary 14 of the 22 and both are willing to be out here and want to be out here. That's one thing we want to So if this didn't work out financially, is that something that we can ask the public for easily? I think that this is something that they would support fully type of thing as long as we're spending money elsewhere. We're fairly low right now compared to all
020the rest of the district. So, we've got I think plenty of room to move that up. There's nothing wrong with why this I mean at Guaca Parl and the school administration would reach out to Swift County too share. I mean, our district is huge and we've got students coming from Chipoa County, got them from Bakar County, we got them from Swift County. >> So, as it's a Mr. Hickman doesn't have to be the only one out here all the time. I mean, they can share it, too. >> Jurisdiction issue, right? >> Is it a jurisdiction? I mean, I'm Is it? >> Yeah, because they're going to stay county employees. So, >> Okay. >> something we can I can sort of look into. Well, no. I'll just ask, >> but if it's a jurisdiction thing, I
021get it. >> Another one of the I think potential um assets that this would bring too is that that when they, you know, when the Minnesota does that annual student survey and things like that, they um there have been studies that show that that when you have a person, you know, an officer presence in a building that that you're your incidents of students um reaching out to the officer to say, "Hey, I think somebody has something unsafe at school or somebody brought something that's not allowed at [snorts] school or whatever." And I did experience that in my previous district, too. Kids would actually approach the officer and just say, "Hey, you know, I was just in the bathroom. Something was, you know, or whatever." and then you know so that there's there's a lot of
022tales on I think the positive things too that that come out of it on top of just having the president. So, I guess where we're at right now is we just want to know what does the board endorse that we would continue and and try to come up with. Um, obviously there's a lot of leg work we need to do to kind of put together what would the cost structure look like and and schedules and things like that. Um, but we before we did any of that, we just wanted to make sure that the board was in in the part of the conversation and felt good about the direction we're moving. It's done. We need to get it done. Correct. The only thing I would ask is if we reached out to the Appleton PD,
023obviously we have members of lock county attorney here and again I think being dismounted and showing that presence for the short minutes that the buses show up and load and unload. >> Well, I I mean I get it that lock has two schools lock. I mean I don't know and obviously they don't have a police force in Madison. anymore. You guys do that. So, I mean what? Just see what you can do. If you're going to be present, I mean, I would just ask that you could at least be >> they'd start with building the rapport right away. >> I personally that's my >> that's something we need to sit down and talk about too is like what do you expect out of us to do and not do? And maybe where that can start
024is I can maybe draft an agreement and just make some assumptions. Sometimes easier to start reading what it looks like and then we can work on questions, comments. >> Thank you very much. Thanks for being >> Yeah, we do appreciate your time. This is something that's been near and dear to some of our hearts. I'm glad to see you guys. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right, moving on. Is 8.1 the gifts, donations, and grants for the month. You'll see those uh listed here. Quite a bit of donations um this month. Thank all those looks like it's all groups this time. So, all all the groups that are businesses there, we thank you for your support. So, take a motion to approve. I so move. Motion by Danny. Second by Kent. Any discussion on the
025gifts and grants? Hearing none. All those in favor? >> I opposed. Motion carries. Uh 9.0 is the consent agenda. Again, uh deleting uh Dev, Amber, Josie, and Amber. From there, there are no other changes. I will take a motion to approve of those changes. [clears throat] >> Motion by Scott. >> Second by M. Any further discussion? >> I would just say Pam's service for ever, right? That's amazing. Good point. >> Yeah, that's a great point. 40. How many years was it? 40 >> 40 something. >> Yeah, I think it's something. She sent me an email today. She's been a rockar. Whatever. >> Pam, if you're online, thank you very much. All those in favor motion carries 10.0 is the financials with group. Uh starting it off um with the uh investment report. So this is
026just all of our uh balances. The uh checking account with United Prairie Bank. Um we're at 90,000 at the end of December. Um then our liquid asset accounts. Um pretty much business as usual status quo compared to last month. Um, just a heads up going forward to our next meeting in February when we have the balances at the end of January on here, we had a lot of our all of our uh debt payments go out a couple weeks ago. And so next month, our liquid asset accounts will kind of trend down some and then just kind of over the time just kind of build back up to uh the current position we're in. Um, next page going on to the enrollment. Uh, we're down one compared to uh the previous month. Um, 785 is
027kind of the magic number that we uh have the uh revised budget built on. So basically as long as we stay above that we are going to be um in should be in fine position where all the the budgeted figures should kind of hold. Um going on to the next page expenditures. Um nothing really to touch on here. Just kind of natural progression as the the year goes along. Just kind of right in line with the the budget. Any questions for group this evening? Um, now that you're got your feet fully wet, is there anything that you're seeing that you think we need to be handling differently or? >> Um, >> I don't think I mean there's always going to be little kind of procedure things like things like just kind of how we handle
028office stuff internally kind of throughout the day, but um, I really think that uh that everything's a really really strong position here. um takes a lot of the pressure, a lot of the stress off of me kind of feel like uh um me and Scott have had a lot of discussions over the last couple of months. Um and so I don't know. I to me I think that that this will be something that kind of evaluate as the especially as this year kind of closes out. We kind of finish out this year just kind of get a little bit better sense of the kind of process of how the year itself out. Um, Lisa and Sue and Christy, they all do a great job in the office. And so, um, they kind of handle or
029rock stars when it comes to handling a lot of the dayto-day type stuff and they've been here long enough that they're really familiar and are really sharp at handling a lot of the things that come to them. So to me, I think that uh that everything good position kind of just hop in and just oversee stuff. >> Thanks. >> Worth noting in the consent agenda obviously was the the um shared services agreement to to continue to u maintain Drew in the position we've been in. not working as our business manager and and it's I I you know I have to say it's been really good having him on board and I I really have to give a big thank you to our office staff and the district office too because um that that I think
030in large part is also they have been really flexible and worked to find ways to make the fact that that Drew might be working on site here. He might be working on site, but regardless, the communication is happening and he has what he needs and so I'm very thankful to that group as well for that. >> Anything else? >> Thanks, 11.0 is the payment of bills and claims for the month. Make a motion to approve the January uh 2026 board bills for $251,8552. the December 25 manual checks for $80,52060. The January 2026 construction bills for $231,1862 for a grand total of $562,792.14. Okay, we got a motion by Scott. >> A second. >> Seconded by Shannon. Any discussion on claims of bills for this fun? Okay, hearing none. All those in favor? I >> I
031motion carries. Uh 12.0 is the policy relating to the graduation attire which you'll see on exhibit 12 and then I think it's also the front end here. >> So Scott, >> yeah. Um just basically we took your feedback from last month's board meeting, made some minor changes. We reached out to uh Christy Hastings law firm just for some feedback. And you can see on that colored single sheet that's a little bit smaller, there's a feedback from one of her assistants that she felt like everything looked good. Um, she doesn't necessarily know that the language of requiring a oneweek notice would hold up with with uh in regards to the the different cultural, you know, significant wear of tribal regalia or cultural significance. Um, but regardless, it's still a good request to have in there. So,
032on the flip side of that page of that document is basically the the new language with the highlighted I don't know if you want to call it a change, but but it's the highlighted language that's in there. So, if you are in support of that with that new addition, then um this would be ready to be amended into the handbook and and ready for this graduation of 2026. >> I'll make a motion. Motion by Danny. >> second by Shannon. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor 13.0. resolution directing the administration to make recommendations for reduction andor uh revenue enhancements and the reasons therefore uh in the coming year. So this is um standard uh procedure when there are cuts etc that need to be made or there's more revenue opportunities etc. uh we
033as a board have to direct the administration to do that. So every year we do this um and this would be if if things are needed they would come back to us then with the um if there needs to be cuts first of all and then if there is what what's the plan what is to be cut or to be saved etc etc >> I saw motion by Danny >> second by Ken any further discussion Hearing none. All those in favor? >> I opposed. 14.0 is the Prairie Playhouse Child Care Center lease agreement. So, this is the child care center in Appleton that uses the old wing of the elementary uh school there. Um, exhibit 13. I think Grant went up to for 416 and then for the 2027 to 433 which is a 4%
034increase and you see all the other requirements that they have to do versus what we have to provide etc. questions for staff on this motion. There's no questions or comments. >> Motion by Scott. >> Second by Shannon. Any further discussion? He none. All those in favor? I >> I cares uh 15.0. So, similar situation in Madison. This is for Prairie 5 Head Start. You'll see that on exhibit 14. Yeah, this is unus building. >> It's on page 50. >> Those costs there in section five. >> And we tried to keep the costs the same. relatively the same between both groups as far as the increase. >> I got a question. So if you look at page 38, I believe it's under exhibit check for 63,000 when we turn around and we charge them. >> Not
035what's the reasoning for the check 63,000. So, we share um Great. That is a good question. It's something I had to discover when I got here, too. So, when Prairie 5 rents from us is separate from the the um preschool area, this is for actually they rent from us for their office space and for their their office staff basically. And so what they're renting from us is um is that and then the the preschool we have an agreement with them in place where we basically cover the costs of our students who are non Head Start kids and they cover the cost of the Head Start pieces and and we share the cost of that program to run a preschool and that's been that way for many years of my understanding. Yeah, but they are >>
036they do that in Apple. >> Yes, there's the same program is in Apple and >> so that's that 63 is for both locations. Yes. Yeah, it would be us paying our portion of our I'm assuming you got to write them a check and they write us a check for accounting purposes. >> I mean, I've been involved in government. >> I get that. >> I was just wondering because I seen that and then I seen this. I'm like, oh, okay. >> No, I I actually had that same question when I came on because we we rent space to them and then we share space with them for other things. So, but they are seven parts of your program. >> Okay. Thank you. >> There's no further questions. I'll do a motion to approve. >> I'll make
037a motion. >> Motion by Matt. >> Second by Kent. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor. >> Motion carries. 16.0 is the monthly voting leaders report. Scott or Marine, anything to highlight? >> Yeah, I I just wanted to highlight we we met with um some some players in the in the house construction project today and uh had some really nice discussion and um heard Danny's connection. We uh Don Bramer was at the meeting with us today and I think there's a good vibe that he's interested. Don is a retired industrial tech teacher from Benson High School and uh interested helping us out with this project. And there's still some some potential things, some fingers, some feelers that we have out to maybe hopefully make this a more than one time opportunity adventure. But,
038uh, all of a sudden, after running into several roadblocks, it feels like there's some real strong potential that this is going to happen. So, Alerson was at the table with us today. Um, there's just some leg work now that has to continue to happen that each of us has been kind of assigned to to reach out, make some connections, um ensure number one, there are grants that we can financially make this thing happen. Um what is each player willing to commit to etc. And so as we finalize those details, we'll continue to come back and keep you updated in the loop on that. But I just wanted to highlight that finally after running into several brick walls, it feels like there's some real good momentum in a pretty exciting project. anything. >> I do want
039to I looked at my email too. Pam was 30 and a half years at the bal district and 14 and a half out here at the middle school high school. So long time a lot lot of her life in this district. Uh Pete, anything from the education association? Okay. >> Nope. >> All right. Mr. Lump. >> Um just a couple quick things to put on the board's radar. Uh they have a February meeting. We will have Miranda Evenson and Zach Steltter will be here to provide a live update um specifically on child care and community ed. And then in March at the the March meeting, Tony Smith will be here to give a live update on MN's goals and progress made on home schools. Just give you a heads up. Those will be coming those
040next. Are we seeing any traction on the food out here as far as the meal, the main meal? I mean, we talked about it. I've seen some of the traffic as far as the nutritional guidance and all that stuff, but making good wholesome name entree meals that kids are going to need. >> I feel that we are um >> I'd look forward to invite the board to come out and join us for a meal sometime and give us, you know, >> you get to do it. But >> that is an addition that is that isn't open today because we're short staff, but that's been a nice little addition. Bridget has talked about having even a third entree on the main on the main line as options and and there's there's definitely ideas out there to
041continue to beef it up and um so >> I would say still a project in in the works. I mean it's still developing but I do feel we're we're improving every every day. >> There's not tacos tomorrow. It's it's hard because this is this is the feedback there's about% our kids. I'm I'm throwing a number out there that don't want Taco Tuesday and the other seem to be like, I want Taco Tuesday. And there's some variations that chirping about. >> I think having the Taco Tuesday is good. It's just the the complaint I get is it's every Tuesday. >> I've got to Madison's upset that they were talking about taking away their taco. It's trickling down to Madison, too. He was There was a fourth grader who went around in Madison to get a headcount
042of everybody who'd be willing to switch it to every other >> say that that's where that's where my kids came. They were like I can't believe >> we have >> Yeah, believe is the microwave. I know we have one and >> I thought they were putting it on a cart. I I didn't go in and check those but not see I can check on that tomorrow and not see >> well I just hate to sound like a coke is a great thing the microwaves are a great thing but we all are not blind to the fact that these main entree meals that are free free lunches are some of our only meals our kids get to eat. So there again, alligator is great for the kids that's got money. Microwaves are great for the kids
043that are bringing leftovers, but at the end of the day, the main meal, the free one, is the one we've got to get to them to get them to eat. >> Absolutely. >> Uh so move on to 17.1. So this is a discussion around we have a polic policy, but we approved to have um staff be able to get a fob um if they weren't. I believe it's two events um in line, scoreboard, etc., that type of thing, tickets, etc. Um so wondering if what the um uh what we think about as school board members. Um uh if you give up two of your meeting PDMs and you could get a file or because you're a school board member, you should just have >> So would it be like so for me and my whole
044family or just for me? As long as you're here, but >> if you forgo the meeting, whatever, I get it. But as far as just being on the board, we deserve a file. I'm not. >> Can we do either word? So like we were two minutes working. >> Yeah, you're still working. You still have that option. Det work two events or work two events and >> well I know but we just talked about too I'm just throwing that out there. >> No, I'm just we're not getting rich off of this. >> No, I know. I'm just asking >> what >> words matter. >> Okay. >> Gotcha. All right. So, >> Got a motion to second. Any further discussion? Okay. Hear none. All those in favor? I post. >> Motion carries. Uh and then 17 uh.2
045is to talk about some handicap parking. So, what we did before? >> Yeah. Um just about the I guess the where our handicap parking is relative to the different events and well even like you know junior high games right the handicap parking is way out in front got to come all the way through and all the way back. Um and for people that are that don't have the stamina to make it that far we don't have you know either a wheelchair really to go get them. um or really any place for them to rest along the way. Right. So, the question is is there more convenient parking that we could have to be able to get people in and out of the bigger gym spaces or something else we can do. I know that what
046we brought up was on the Which direction would it be? The northeast corner where there's that grass there. You know, that could be made into a a parking spot. That mean people could just drive right there, be right in the building. And you mentioned northwest. >> So then they just pull up, they drop off the person, then they pull away. So the next person can pull up. >> Well, so the problem is is if somebody's capable to drive but not necessarily capable to go that distance, right? Would you >> So how much can we fit? How many can we fit? >> What about on that next gravel lot is where there's that ramp that takes you on the east side of the north gym. I You can park all along there and then they can
047just take the ramp and then if you have somebody at that the door you have two entrances right there could let them in there be obviously right now it's gravel but which may not be ideal for everybody's access but there's something that the slope of that ramp >> the ramp So, it doesn't mean building code ADA, which means other ADA because building code ADA is 5% for building access, but it's technically not building access. So, it's an ADA ramp of 8%. So, it means that um it's just not considered our main access. So, really doesn't fall under that. >> Yeah, we got I remember getting into that state on that. Um, I don't think there's any issue because if somebody's in that position to be able to utilize one of those those locations, >> are
048the doors going to be open? >> That would just be a thing is is communication with somebody to >> and how do you know how they know that >> because especially if it's somebody coming to visit, right, from different town or something like that. that way >> because it was brought up at one time to look at trying to do something by the front doors, but it was we were talking$100,000 which it wasn't just >> I mean I think we [clears throat] have places that are close enough. It's just a matter of how we utilize them. >> Are those are those east and west doors on the north corner of the north gym? Are they fab entrances or they like emergency exits that are locked all the time? >> They're f Anyway, I think the
049northeast one is >> the northeast one is that they're f but they're not you can't get in them. I think you guys can staff can get in them. >> But I mean is that something that I mean if Dave could set it up on game night there's going to be a game in the north gym automatically unlock that they're green. I mean is that something you could set up? I mean again, >> yeah, I mean it'd be one of those where you'd have to again communicate that, hey, this is where our handicap or easier accessibility parking is, but >> I would think it would just >> Yeah, >> just be a matter of programming it. >> So what would be the difference though? Let's say we let them come in the north. They still got
050to come down the hall turn just being under control or >> probably more for the north gym for junior high and that way. >> And and realistically, you could you'd have to sit behind the team or right by the team, right? You could go in and sit right there >> there too without having >> I was just wondering because like when you say front row just for environmental control, the distance from the front row to our front doors. >> Yeah. >> Or from the distance from our north gym coming into the main gym. >> It's a horse a piece. >> Yeah. But if you if you or even there's not ran about the >> east side there. >> It's just the distance total distance. You can get into the gym much lot fewer steps. >>
051Here comes the north side. >> Well, even the main gym you can get in there with a lot fewer steps. You may not sit over, you know, like you get in the gym. >> To me, it sounds like a manage. a sign that's going to say, you know, there's handicap parking here and then there's, you know, straight ahead or whatever direction they're coming from. But then something about handicap with ramp is this area and handicap in front if you don't need assistance or don't need a ramp to to get in. be a lot closer to the main go side door. >> So, we thinking um like leaving that part that's gravel and just adding signage that says that's handicap parking. >> I I think the first step is probably have Adam go out there and
052see how many people on that cement pad. You know, how many cars do you potentially have on there? And then the gravel area isn't >> suitable for somebody to get off there. We don't have a >> I'm going to say >> no thinking the same. [laughter] >> I'm just going to say it's so much easier if it's [clears throat] >> And then I mean it's nice um salt on the road, especially during tournaments, and make sure everything's all salted down because I've I've done a couple times where I'm almost debating on just pulling up on the sidewalk and leaving my van there >> because I'm not going to slip and slide through. [clears throat] We did talk about potentially getting some laid down >> and I'm just like, you know, Marines that can walk with
053>> I think we just need some intel to see what our options are and pick something. I assume the tennis courts are probably the next discussion around that, right? Are people going to be able to drive out there and park or how will they a handicap person get to the tennis courts? That's the next thing to think about before. Yeah, there's nothing else. >> Well, I'm going to throw it out there since we're doing accessibility. We should still look into getting accessible for a gym or benches and talk about that. >> Okay, good. See that? Can we address that as well? >> Yeah. >> So there some of them tonight. >> Anything else for tonight? Not a motion. >> Motion by Scott. Second. Second by Kent. All those in favor? >> I opposed. >> Motion
054carries.
