No. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/23-1 So we will move on to our two action items. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/23-2 The first action item on our agenda is the

004request to rename the special cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/23-3 education construction capital funds to rural housing capital funds. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/23-4 Is there a motion to approve this request? I move to approve the remaining of the cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/23-5 SPED construction capital funds. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/25-0 to rural housing capital funds. Is there a second? Second. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/25-1 It's been moved and seconded that we approve the renaming of the capital funds. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/24-0 Laken. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/25-2 Dr. Mika, is there any context we should know? cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/26-0 No, we have this money sitting in capital cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/26-1 funds and we don't have any projects currently for the special ed construction, cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/26-2 but we do have needs in rural housing to do some updates to our rural housing that cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/26-3 we own in Akiak and Chiniak. And so cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/27-0 By renaming this fund, it allows us to have a much broader use cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/27-1

005for those funds. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/28-0 Thank you. Is there any discussion by board members? cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/28-1 Just a comment. The amount of $42,542, will that cover what needs to be done on cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/28-2 these two places? It will. It should. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/29-0 From the initial estimates, it should cover broadly the Akiak and if cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/29-1 and possibly what we need to do in Chiniak. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/29-2 Akiak will be our first priority because of the amount of damage that that house cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/29-3 sustained due to the freezing of their pipes and their cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/30-0 hot water heater and then the subsequent flooding of that house. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/30-1 And so we're basically taking, have had, it's a shell right now. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/30-2 We've had to take it down to the floor joists. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/31-0 Well, Dan and Cyndy and I all had a chance to cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/31-1 look at it,

006and boy, it is something that really needs to be cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/31-2 done. I had to hand it to those teachers that cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/31-3 actually hung in there on that, because that was pretty tough. Yeah, cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/31-4 great. Thank you. Any other comments or discussion? Jesse, cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/31-5 do you have any comments or? cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/32-0 Things that you'd like to ask. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/33-0 Nope. cbcd8b05-dbc1-4fec-8b10-11fb28a09ad2/34-0 Okay, great.
