So, um, you know, we'll continue Sam's been talking to Mike, uh, weekly on that. So, we're waiting for all of that to come in and then they're going to start. Karen's been in the loop the whole time about how many how long that playground's going to be, uh, closed, >> right? We expected that it was probably not going to open in time for school and we might have a few weeks of >> I think it
013will end up being de I'm guessing that, you know, just from the conversations, it's going to be demolished probably. And again, don't hold me to this, but I estimate that, you know, we'll probably have it demolished, uh, the old one demolished and obsoleted by, um, before school starts. So, I'm hoping and, you know, that that will and then we'll shut it down for that that time we need to. >> Uh, new business, >> the building walkthroughs August 26, 2025 at 9:00. >> John Marshall. Yep. Uh John, we're going to meet at John Marshall. John Marshall. >> And that's an annual event. >> Yep. >> And then um the bond. >> Yes. So uh just some uh basic general information. We have debt coming off of our uh existing bond that was I think floated in
0142006 for 79 million. So that debt needs to be replaced. Um, and the way the system works is that we'd have to replace it or it ultimately because it is tax capex exempt now it would roll into the uh our tax cap calculations and levy calculation. So, East Hampton has a very um an incredible opportunity here um to replace that debt. Um, basically we're thinking around $64 million with no additional taxes for the community and taxpayers. Um there are things that need to be done in the district that you know some of the non-f fun things like windows, some roof things and probably I'm sure there's HVAC things and sure I'm going to point them out. But there's going to be a lot of fun ideas that we can put in place in this district
015and this will be the community's last opportunity to do this type of work uh probably for the next 20 years. So, uh, I know at the next meeting, uh, we are going to, uh, Sam and I are going to talk to the board and talk to the public about a timeline for community forums to get community input. Um, you know, we're looking to get this on the, uh, the May, uh, budget vote ballot. So, uh, it's very exciting and again, um, you know, uh, people have spoken to me about it in the community throughout the year, giving all, you know, very interesting ideas of things they'd like to see happen and do, uh, done. Um but uh you know we I think the biggest piece here is uh community input and and and discussion with
016the board of education on where where we go for the next you know 20 years you know >> and and the important thing for everyone to know with the bond is that it would be replacing the debt that we have and it wouldn't be increasing our taxes. >> It's tax tax neutral completely neutral. You're not you know other districts have had to go out the bond when they don't have bond you know debt and then you're adding to the levy that way. We are not doing that. Um we have an opportunity here because of the last bond that was floated for 79 million um to replace that debt. We're replacing debt payments. Um and you're you know and and what we'll do the probably the first workshop that we do it is Sam will give
017a clear and concise presentation of why we have to replace that debt and what could happen if we don't. Um, but it is a great opportunity for the community to and and the board to put in things that are really great for our students and our community. >> Yes. >> I think we've all agree that the one thing that absolutely has to be done is the high school auditorium that we haven't got right >> 1970 and electrical fire. So, yeah. >> Okay. Do we have any um callers on the line, Jason? We have no callers on the line. Okay. >> And we have no one here for public comment. So, can I have a motion to adjurnn? >> I move. We move. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Good night, everyone. All right. Thank
018you.
