001[Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Come on. Hey. Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey. [Music] We will go ahead and call the the June 30th board of directors meeting to order. Can we get roll call, please? Miss Atkins, Mrs. McDaniel here, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Shuffle here, Mr. Senson here, Mr. Sturm here, Mr. Wright here. Approval of the June 30th, 2025 agenda. Can I get a motion to approve, please? Motion to approve. Second. Vote, please. Mrs. McDaniel, yes. Mrs. Sheffle, yes. Mr. Mr. Sorenson. Yes. Mr. Sherm. Yes. Mr. Ray. Yes. Consent agenda. I don't think there was any other updates. Just bills. Right. Just bills. Uh the bills are for uh the June 30th. It just happened to work perfectly meeting today as well. So those are just
002the year end bills for FY25. Okay. Can we get a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented? Motion to approve. Second vote, please. Mrs. Shuffle, yes. Mr. Mr. Sorenson, yes. Mr. Sturm, yes. Mrs. McDaniel, yes. Mr. Wright, yes. Discussion items 4.01 Lewis Central High School 2026 mechanical upgrade design proposal. So, this is from uh Brett Wallace. Says, "Attaches the design proposal from Morsy Engineering. do the design uh bid docs and administration of the bid for the proposed 2026 LCHS mechanical work. The scope of the work I request and we discuss on site as follows. So uh Jim, can you give us kind of a overall layman's update for um what uh is included in the mechanical upgrade? Yes. Most of it will be at the um the athletic end still where we continue with
003that upgrade. We're going to be replacing I believe it's the rooftop units on um basically all of area D. So that would be the wrestling room and the locker rooms if I remember correctly. Um also I'm not sure if unit one is included in that that will that is the only one on area D when we're completed doing all this that will remain on the existing children. Um also we're going to be at that time uh replacing the individual um control. As you all remember we did a front-end system for the controls. Uh we will go ahead and update the individual controls as we that are in each VAB box and each air handler and all that stuff as part of this project. So it'll put us in really great shape in that athletic wing
004especially right now. And this is just the design so they can come up with the design and the bid docks and then obviously they'll have to go to bid and everything else, but they want to get the design done because of the they want this work to be done next summer. So we got to get it designed so we can get out to bid so then they can start that wonderful waiting period to get stuff in. So any other questions? Okay, then we will move to 4.02 concrete change order Central High School and Titan Hill. So, two different uh change orders, but they're kind of on the same same company, same bid. Um, so the Titan Hill and ERC be replacing. So, the the island where the buses drop off and pick up kids. That
005was something that was left off originally as we were bidding stuff out to um make sure that we could stay in our budget. Luckily for us, we're over a million dollars under budget just on the Titan Hill. uh project alone. Um so this would be going back in and and finishing that concrete on the island between the parking lots. It's also replacing um the majority of the um uh what do they call that? ADA ADA walkways. So the little bumper plates and that kind of stuff. So it actually replaced the concrete and the bumper plates in those areas. And then um it's at it's finishing a lane around the like a sidewalk slash you could park on it if you want to around the south side of the building back to the pool entrance. So
006that way we can make that the main entrance for like Iowa Western. So they can go in there. Right now it's just kind of a drop off into the mud and then when they do that it would be uh one of there's a gate back there that they use for loading and unloading large large items and um that's busted off. somebody backed into it at some point and uh so they would be fixing that gate um making that concrete go back there. Uh we've had some issues with some of the kids from the coaches from Iowa Western leaving uh a door unlocked which then because they have to go through the main entrance of the school and then they kind of leave a door unlocked or you know it doesn't shut all the way or
007whatever. I'm not saying it's intentional, but um we've had some students um uh some of our elementary students kind of get back there to the pool area and we don't we don't want that. That's a safety hazard. So um just kind of moving the entrance for them and saying, you know, now you're just going to use this entrance removes all all risk then at that point. So it's a so yeah, so getting that done. Um total price for that is 54,776. They did have to honor the pricing that they gave us when they bid out the the whole project. So, we're getting kind of a the same pricing that they gave us there. Uh there is a mobilization fee on there. It's because they had already removed all of the stuff that they used to
008uh break up and the kind of demolition crew that's already demobilized and gone. So, they'd have to bring them back on site. Um their people that do the sidewalks are already gone. So, they'd have to bring them back on site. So, that was my biggest concern because I know that they're already here. So, but a great or Mr. Director Stern brought up a great point as far as like why are we remobilizing when they're here? That's why. So, um and then the high school um that is the there's a kind of a long island that goes between the main parking lot and what I would call the the what is that the west parking lot. The one that's kind of closest to the uh uh grass fields and that long we don't really have any
009sidewalks um in the parking lot. So, that would create us. So, there's a sidewalk that runs between the school and the parking lot. This would then be a sidewalk that would continue all the way down towards the um towards the football field. So, if you park along the school or something like that, you don't necessarily have to walk through the parking lot. You could get on a sidewalk, you know, and be able to go that way. It also cleans up that part that we've never we've not been able to grow grass there consistently. Um, tons of rocks, tons of there's some kind of trees in there that, you know, so anyway, it would just be finishing that off. And then it also puts in a walk-in gate. Um, so I would love it if our
010community could have more access to some of our facilities. Um, controlled access. It's a gate that we could close and lock, you know, if the weather's bad or, you know, we have an event or something like that. But it's a switchback gate, so it's actually not something you can bring a a bike in. you just kind of one person, you kind of go back and forth through it. Um, so it'll install that switch back gate by the baseball entrance. Um, so the community can have access instead of having to jump fences. So, any questions, comments on that concrete change order? Um, yeah, I do. Um, just so there's no secret, I will say that I'm going to be against this. Um, I'm for the gate, you know, for to for the public to be able
011to utilize that part of it. As far as the concrete goes, they did honor the per square foot price of the concrete. Um but they did charge us the mobilization fee um twice. It's on both um invoices. Uh larger companies do charge a mobilization fee. This stuff is all small enough that smaller contractors could also handle this. Um and like Dr. Hazing talked about the the islands in between the parking lots and uh where the grass is down in the high school and where the kids get off of the uh buses here. Um just know that none of the curbs get touched. So, you're going to have new new uh parking lot, you're going to have a new sidewalk, and you're going to have curbs that are trashed. And then the ADA panels, unfortunately, there's
012no way to get around them deteriorating. The salt gets behind them, it freezes, thaws, and then it starts popping them out. And there are a handful that um could stand to be replaced. Um but that's just one panel. And this is like whole sidewalk sections. And like concrete, the way concrete works is where do you stop? Do you skip this panel and you go to this one and it just keeps going? So I think my recommendation or what I would lean towards is to not do this right this minute. Um, let's get a little further along in all of our projects before we know before we're um thinking that we're ahead of the game moneywise. Um, because there's still going to be we're going to have this change order again next year because we're going
013to find more concrete that needs repair. Aren't the curbs really tore up? There are a couple areas. Yeah. But when you start adding curbing in, the cost gets crazy. So, yeah, it gets a lot more expensive when you when you do the curbs. Does it compromise our sidewalks though if you leave the curb the way they are? No, not necessarily. It's the the concrete replacement be more for like there's a couple areas in the in the and I pointed out that on our tour where it's it's a pretty big trip hazard. I mean, you can grind them down. You can do some others, but there's especially where the kids get off the bus right there. Like, there's like that concrete's pretty uneven. And so, it'd be replacing that concrete. We could come back in at
014a different time and cut in new curbs. I mean, we're going to pay for it. It'll destroy your It'll destroy your um sidewalk when you cut in new curbs. It's I mean it's better to do it just all at one time, but waiting. We still have the tripping hazards and so if we go ahead and do it now, it'll alleviate that. Correct. it. Yeah, it would it would alleviate some of the some of the trip tripping hazards, but you still get left with a, you know, like me and Hazing had talked about. He's like, "Well, you're going to have a you know, we he used the uh parking lot, I think, at the high school as an example." He says, "So, you're you're all right with doing a $2.5 million parking lot, but yet leaving
015this, you know, just with mud or dirt or the grass that we can grow." And I said, "I'm not against the whole project." I said, "I'm just against the timing of the project." So, when you talk about trip hazards, it just depends on which trip hazard you're talking about because yes, you will address some of the ADA panels that need addressed, which I agree they do. Some of them do need addressed. Um, but you still have the trip hazards of the damage curb that will stay in place. Now, one of the things we could do is, and we talked about this after uh we'd walked it last week, is we could also go back and ask for a separate change order for the board to consider that would just also replace the curbing just at
016the the curbing at the high school. That's all new curbing because that was that that island was actually put in when they did the auditorium. So, that's that's all that's all new curbing right there. This is not new curbing. So, if we if the board wanted to, you know, I could also go back and ask them, you know, can you get me a change order for for to replace the curbing as well as that, you know, and if it's under 20, I can just approve it or I can bring it to you guys either way and have you guys review that as well. Um, I know that they they're planning on pouring that lot, you know, this this week and they want to get some of this is all timing, too. You know, if they
017if we have they have us on our schedule, they can get it done. So, I mean, that would be something the board can consider, too. Again, on Titan Hill alone, we're a million dollars below. So, of what we had budgeted, not saying we had to spend a million dollars. I don't want to do that. Like, that's not what I what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is is if we'd had known we were going to be this far under budget, we just would have included all of it. You know, we'd have been like, "Wow, okay, we have we could have gotten more done at the same time." So, and that's really what one of two things and we had talked about this. I talked I think I made this known with all of you
018is one of the things that we're trying really hard not to do is not not short change ourselves. You know, like if we're going to do it, let's do it right into director's terms. like that's what he wants to make sure we do it right and I totally agree with that. Um the other thing is is making the money stretch as far as possible and and I did provide you guys an update uh in your email as far as you know um the money that would that we still have available. Like right now we're sitting at about $3.1 million. I thought we were 2.8. So about $3.1 million under budget. Um so there's still some latitude. Not saying we we want to spend all that. We want to carry it through to the end of
019the project. If we were sitting here at, let's say, $250,000 under budget, there's no way I would come to you and say, "Let's spend half of that on the sidewalk and not carry anything forward." You know, at 3.1, I feel like there's in my budgeting mind, and that's what you guys have me do, is it we have the latitude to say we can do some things now and then other things hold off and wait until everything's done, you know? But while they're here, the recommendation is while they're here and they're getting after it and have them knock it out kind of at the same time. Well, but it's it's not because they're here. They're they're coming back. They're charging us another mobilization fee just as if they weren't here, right? So, we can't you can't
020really can't put it that way. It's like while the project is being done, you can, you know, say it would be 80% completed, but just because they're here, they're still charging us the going rate that they're charging us. They're still charging us another uh mobilization fee. So, I would almost I said I would the mobilization fee bugs me because if they were already here, you know, they could do that and then we're going to set up this way. We're going to pay two more immobilization fees next year when we have them come in and fix the little stuff around uh the other schools. And not to mention, we have a huge project at the high school with the front facade for the school security. And while it looks good on paper, that's not re, you
021know, that may not be reality. We don't know. Um, we have a huge project at the middle school, which everybody has already warned us that that is going to be just a big mess. And so I think all of the cash reserves that we can hold back on um for right this minute. I think that would be the uh the wiser thing I think. So what's the percentage of the mobilization fee? Is it 1% point? I think it was um around $3,000. Is that what it was? It's it's this is only 1,500. The second one is 22.87. So that was my question. Why? What's the difference? It's the amount of amount of work that they have to come back and do. So, and it's two and it's two fees because it's two locations. They're counting
022that as location and this location, right? Um, and again, if and like I said, this is is that's why you bring it to the board. It's your guys's prerogative. One of the things we do risk is right now we're getting the pricing that they had guaranteed. If we go and we get independent contractors to bid it out, you could potentially be paying I mean, it's a risk, right? like you could potentially be paying more than what's given to than what's than what this is offering here. Even if they don't even if the smaller companies say we're not going to charge a mobilization fee, they can still come in at 20% higher, you know. So, is there a way that they can negotiate those if that's that was my next step? We we already asked it.
023Yeah. said, "No, it's non-negotiable." So, I would say though, when it comes to concrete, I am always a get it done kind of person because my mother-in-law fell from a piece that was up and she hurt her face, her knees, like it wasn't a good thing, right? And I think the amount of kids walking through that area, if it's in a hightraic area, that makes me nervous. But then I part is weird to not have it included. If we're going to cut into it again, will it compromise the sidewalks? Right. And like I said, I can and I can I could if you guys want to go a little further and say, "Yep, we're interested. We we want curbs as well." Yeah. Um we can definitely get get some numbers on curb. Yes. I I
024really I also the reason we didn't include the curbs is because what we talked about at the time was it's a much smaller project because what what happens is when the bus turns those corners they'll so you got something the width of a tire that needs repaired not the entire curb. Okay. And so our thought was let's get this major concrete project done and then we can work on repairing those small sections of curbs as as we go. There is a trip hazard hazard there at that tirewide point uh part of the curb. The curbs do need repaired in those small areas, but the entirety of the curb is is actually very sound. Okay. Well, and that's what I was thinking too because see I mean I don't I don't remember it looking terrible anyways.
025I'm up there. There are there are a couple sections that are pretty bad. Yeah. So, I think that I would do it that route where Well, and I think Bubba actually Sorry, shouldn't that's all right. Uh we're actually on the same page as far as um when it comes to concrete, you've got to draw a line somewhere because it could just become such an extensive project and we've been trying to work within the budget and get as much as we can out of it, not knowing exactly where we're going to land without going too far. And some of those things we've thought, let's go this far and then if we still need to do that, we can do that as a smaller project out of a maintenance budget. Okay? And and so it's not that
026those thoughts haven't been considered. It it's just that we've got other avenues to get that done if we have to. Because I agree with you, you're walking the length of a sidewalk and if it's up and down and that versus this much when I step up on a curb. Yeah. I I will add that that sidewalk that you're talking about replacing down that island is where kids load and unload off the bus every single day. Daily. Yes. Yeah. So, it's one of the most used sections of sidewalk we have. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just Yeah, that was a tough thing to watch my mother-in-law fall from a piece that she's 77 years old. So, anyway, I think that if with all the kids because I see that happen when all those kids are walking
027out, it's it's an important part to fix. So, if you said that we just have like a if we already know we have spots here and there on the curb, is that something that we can can they get? Yeah. So, so any 20,000 I can I can review. So, that's one of the things we talked about is we would bring that up in the board and if you're like, hey, while you're at it, you know, we can approve the bid as it is right now and then I can approve any change order that's under 20,000. And if we're just talking about certain sections, that's going to be less than 20,000. It just you guys will just have to know that on top of the 54,000 you're approving for that sidewalk, we're also going to have
028another I don't even know what a curve cost 5,000 and you know, and it all depends little piece of curving. Yeah. myself. It all depends on if they tear it out and and the curb holds, it wouldn't be you could still be 15 or better for for very little curb because I agree with Bubba in the sense of it cur curb get pretty expensive pretty fast. Yeah. Or with director St. I agree with if we're paying them to come out here if we know we have a little section or if we know that we have I don't want to pay him to have to come back out here, right? You know, again, that's Well, and like again, like these are like these projects like when they're done, they're done. We won't see them back here
029next year unless they win another project. Like if they win the middle school project or, you know, another paving project, then they will otherwise they're they're done. When they finish pouring the last bit of concrete, they're and put up the last bit of fencing, we won't see them back. So when you say the remainder of the curbs or sound is that or how many years, does it look like it has a life in or that's hard to tell because that's where it mainly depends on how I'm going to say how picky you want to be. Like I said, this one's cracked a little bit. This one's gone. So do you take it all out or is that little crack okay? The problem with taking it all out too is then you risk have like we
030have a brand new piece of of concrete right out here and it's already busted out. I mean, so you could replace the whole thing and within a year have certain areas busted out, especially when you have tires, bus tires rubbing into it all the time. So, is there a warranty with that? How does that work with concrete? No, it's does two things. It gets hard and cracks. I just don't know. Unfortunately, anything that melts ice will eat concrete. Okay. And we're since we're a school, we do use a lot of salt. Um, is it would it be possible if if we didn't do this this year, next year when we get uh a little further along, we issue one contract for the district for any miscellaneous Yeah. Yeah. You can do whatever you want. The
031stuff that the stuff that didn't that is bad even the ADA panels they didn't go bad in the last year. You know that would be uh I would guess four or five years at least of corrosion. Uh, and I don't look for a huge change in one year, but if we did it under an umbrella of the district, we would not have individual mobilization fees. And well, you can't say that. They might that probably in their quote, they would figure you're going from this place to this place, so they would probably include it in there. This is just right here because they're here and we're adding on. It's a change order. So, we're adding on, right? And so, for them to extend being here, this is the cost. That's the way I take it. And
032they have to bring up their new equip or their equipment again and whatever else they need. That stuff with the mobilization fee because I don't I'm not familiar with how that works. Like what is all included with the mobilization? Some of that equipment is extremely large. For example, if I remember right, correct me if I'm wrong, but part of that mobilization fee was because some of the equipment's already here on the tennis court area, but you literally have to haul haul in a huge truck to you can't drive that on the lot. You can't drive it across the road. So, you have to bring in a big truck even if you're moving it 100 yards, right? So, so you got to pay for that truck in order to move that equipment. So, that's good to
033know because I wasn't familiar with that either. But I do think that the people in our district are wanting us to take care of our parking lots and our sidewalks. That's a big complaint that we have. And I think we should do it if they're already here, you know, personally. But I understand what he's saying, but I think that just by hearing what people are saying, they want that taken care of. The parking lots are terrible. The sidewalks, people tripping. And if you already have people out here and it's already getting worked on, you might as well go the rest of the distance with it. And for under budget, why not? One thing that I forgot, the thing that was included in the high school mobilization fee was because of the increase in the amount
034of project, the increase in the bond, they had to they added the price of the of the bond increase into the mobilization fee at the high school. So that's the difference between is they're increasing their bond amount and they just put that in with the mobilization fee max. So so that's why that's different. And just a reminder that they have to carry a bond, right? Yeah. They have to be bonded in order to do the projects on their property. So So everybody will charge us that back to us. They don't need that cost. I gotta say I agree with uh Bubba on trying to limit the the mobilization fees where we can when we negotiate with these companies, but at the same time um we didn't have any small contractors bid. Um, so that that's
035part of the the the danger and the risk of what we do with an open bidding process is that we have these larger companies come in and those fees are assessed whether whether we want them to or not. Um, they're still going to bill us. Uh, to Aaron's point, I kind of agree with if you're doing it right, I'm a big believer of right first time. And on that walk that we did prior to uh coming into the meeting, I I would have a really hard time with putting all this work into fixing that concrete and then leaving that side rough over by Titan Hill. Um and with a with a busted gate and stuff like that. That that doesn't make any sense to me. Um, but I guess my question for you, Bubba, is
036for both of these projects, for Titan Hill and the high school, are you are you voting against both or just them both together? Um, well, they I mean, they have it on the agenda as as all one package. I mean, it's all the concrete, the gate, the um, you know, but is it all one quote or is it two separate? It's two quotes. So, you could either approve them together as it's listed, or you could vote on the Titan Hill ERC, which does include the gate and all the concrete work, and then or and then you could vote on the high school, which includes the walking gate and the high school island. So, you that's you could break it out to those those two quotes if you want. We would just have two motions under
037that. I guess as it is now, I guess I would say that I would be against both of them. Okay. because of the can I just clarify on a comment that you made about the localization piece just just so that you guys understand is part of the problem that we face is the legal hoops that we have to jump through in order to maintain compliance through school and state code. So if this had been a $20,000 project and could have approved it on the spot, we could have avoided the localization fees. But because it takes so long to go through the planning and get it to you guys and get it approved, they're here, done their work and gone. I mean, that's that's the problem is if we were a normal business and we could
038we could react really quickly to things, those things I mean, we saw the opportunity to do extra work with the budget, but we couldn't get it done and approved in time to have them still on site. So, it's just it's just one of those it's kind of a catch 22 where you have to be in compliance, but yet you're missing an opportunity. Well, the other thing is is the only reason you see it broken down the way it is because you don't just see the mobilization fee. You'll see, hey, can can you scroll down to actually where the bid is. So, you'll see all of these items. You'll see the pavement removal removal offense. If we go get a bid from a local contractor, you don't see all this itemized. you see that Brent Hazing
039Contracting is bidding this out at 54,000. Yeah, that and you see that they don't have to break it out. The only reason you see it broken out is because when we did our bidding process, the engineers required them to itemize all these items. And so when they then give us a change order, they have to do it by the itemized item. So that's that's why you see it. So, it's not that the small contractors don't don't charge it. They just will give one lump sum, you know? Right. Well, I said, and I'm not against it. I'm just against it's more of a timing thing. No, I understand. So, at this time, we'll probably still recommend that they go through as one motion and then just put it up to a vote. And then, did anybody
040else have any additional comments that they wanted to add? I just want to clarify for the curving though. So, if if it's under $20,000, then you'll just approve it. I'll just approve it. Look nice because I do think that to have nice sidewalks and then curb that looks the the curb that's chewed up. We'll we'll we'll figure out a good stop because they still have saw cuts in the curb and that kind of stuff. So, we can go saw cut to saw cut and get certain chunks. Here's the deal. It'll look different at first because it'll look white like white concrete versus It'll weather. Yeah. But it'll weather. So, it'll all blend in. Mhm. It all cracks. I just want to be new that get painted anyway. Yeah, I was going to say actually we'll
041have to paint those first. So, we'll just repaint the whole thing. Yeah, perfect. Any other comments, questions on that one? Okay, we'll move to 4.03, middle school renovation architectural services. So, uh the group did meet uh when I say group, I had uh um director she uh let's see who else isn't there? Director Atkins and then oh Director Sturm met. We interviewed two architectural firms. We had four on the original list. Two of them backed out due to timing or um uh the amount of work that they had going on. So we interviewed BCDM who's currently our architect for the high school uh edition and and craft. And then we interviewed CNBA uh and we at at the end of the interview for both of them um the committee did choose to pick BCDM to
042do our middle school renovations. They had some kind of different ideas and those types of things. Um so they want to get a contract so that way they can start the planning process. The problem is is we don't we we don't have a very good scope yet because we had an additional budget number. Well, that might have to change a little bit. We want to So, they're but they're going to have to do some pre-work. And so, the recommendation is to do something like we do with Shy Patterie where they basically sign a contract with them and pay them an hourly rate to to start that process of determining what the scope is and what we're going to do. And then once we determine the final scope, the architect fee is a percentage of the
043total number. And then that will rever then it'll when we whenever we do that we'll sign a new contract that says okay now we know what the percentage is because it does fluctuate based on how big your scope is and then uh all the money that we would have paid up to that point will then just get factored into the uh percentage. So it's not like you have to pay that hourly fee and the percentage. It'll all just get it kind of protects them so that way they don't do all this work and then we get to the point and we're like just kidding. We're not going to do it and then you know, so they at least get paid something. So, it's basically like a deposit on further work kind of. Yep. Yeah. Paid
044them for pre-work that then we'll get credit for if we end up doing the whole project. So, any questions, comments on this? What's their timing? I mean, are they start like tomorrow? Cool. Um, and they will they they actually were on site last week to do um some more walkthroughs and that kind of stuff, but they want I mean they wanted me to get a community group together like this week and I said, "Well, it's the Fourth of July week. It's probably not a great week to get like a community group together." So, we'll touch base tomorrow um if it gets approved tonight. And then we'll uh um I'll start finding dates and trying to round up our facility committee and getting, you know, uh at least getting some teachers and principal and that. They
045basically just kind of want to know like where do we want to go? How do we want to start? I told them it's really hard during the summer because I'd love to get all of our staff together, but it's I'm not going to be able to get all of our middle school staff together. But if all we're doing is starting the conversations about priorities, then I'm fine with them starting that conversation. But they need to probably some of the one of the first days that their staff comes back, we'll we'll have them go through a mini workshop with them. So, but they know we want to do work next summer and they want to honor that and try to get as much planned as possible. Middle school's a little bit complicated. So, any other questions,
046comments? Okay. Then we will move forward with 4.0. 04 Louis Central High School marquee and entrance sign. So, our marquee has been dead now going on a little over two years um to to just fix it um with the old technology we had, which is kind of a it's almost like a clip art sign um is going to be, you know, $ 35 to $40,000. So, then we said, well, maybe it's time to update the sign in general. Uh we got two bids. One was from Vital Signs. Uh and this is just replacing their bid was just to replace the the video board. So, they would do a 10 millimeter pixel pixel video board. Uh, comes with a five-year cell plan. That's how they update their signs. Um, and it's the exact same size as
047the sign there. It would not replace the Louiswis central sign that's above. It just is using the same poles and just replacing the the actual um digital sign. There's a 7 71,200. Uh, Sandow Signs just gave us a bit as well. um they would replace the video board uh with a 9 millimeter video board which is actually they're roughly the same but the closer the pixels the better. So the smaller the millimeter the better. Um and then it and then they would actually throw in uh to replace the Louiswis Central sign above it. So freshen up that Lewis Central High School sign. It's kind of yellowed so they would freshen that above it. And then he said that they would also throw in like an extra, you know, so that way in a year or
048two or something happens to the sign, they they'll throw in, you know, they'll just replace give us an extra one to put up there. Um, same size video board, uh, 5year cell plan, uh, 59,95360. So, thanks for mentioning the difference between the 9 and the 10. I was thinking it was like thickness of the screen or something like that. Oh, no. That's the size of the pixels. So, the smaller the pixels, the better the picture. So, and these you can put whatever up. You said you can put whatever you want. You can do a little video. You can do I mean it's it's high resolution pictures versus a bouncing basketball. You know, bouncing basketball's cool. Don't get me wrong. Back in I only saw it I think once. Yeah. And then they 2001 when they
049installed it, that thing was sweet. So, yeah. No, not when they first installed it. This is when we had to replace it. Oh, and they replaced it. Yeah. Then it was more graphics and yeah the clock and it would turn and stuff and then they quit. They got bored. Well, they didn't have enough time to keep it up. Yeah. Otherwise, it was just football game Friday night daily schedule. What I understand is you could take a picture on your phone with the app and you and I can upload it from here right now. I take a picture of you guys and say send it to the sign and it's updated. So, it's pretty pretty user friendly. We all have access to that. I would hope not. And just to double check, look at Emma's face
050was like just to double check when we when Harry Langden and that whole thing gets gets going four or five years from now, would we is our plan to revitalize that whole area and put up or is that is that always going to be staying for the extended of when we add that new uh uh going out like the lane going out? Yeah, it's actually a pretty good location. It's right between kind of the two where the two lanes would be. So, it's it's it probably wouldn't move. I wouldn't mind redoing the the landscaping below it, but that's that's we have no plans moving the sign though four or five years from now when we Okay, that's a good question. Yeah, it's a great question. But no, I wouldn't I wouldn't move it. You know,
051we'll probably have some way finding that says, you know, welcome to Lewis Central High School. Like maybe a smaller sign like a but no, not the video. Not the actual video. Yeah. Any other questions, comments? Okay. Then we will move to comments and suggestions. This is the section of our meeting where we open up the floor to anyone present or anybody online. We're good.
