Accommodations. Good news. I see we have some visitors here today. You >> Yes. So, we have some visitors. And I thought it was called the Invention Convention, but was I It's called something different. >>

002This is Camp Invention. >> Camp Invention. Okay. >> Sponsored though by the same company that Okay. >> sponsors invention. >> Oh, is that my call? >> There you go. All right. All right. So, we have some visitors. And so, what we like to do and just to remind our uh listeners out there is on the this year on the first board meeting of the month, we have two board meetings per month. On the first board meeting, we like to bring in outside people, usually our teachers and our students to come and present to the board um so that way the board knows uh or can be be reconnected with all of the great things we're doing within our buildings. So, this month we get Camp Invention. >> Yes. Um, I'm Lisa Suzinski and I was

003the director last summer at Camp Invention and a staff member at Craft. Um, this is a week-long STEM camp that our school hosts. Last summer was our third time hosting the camp. The theme was discover and it's open to any students entering 2 grade through 6th grade. Um, the program builds problem solving skills. It's aligned to state, common core, NGSS standards. Last summer, we had our highest enrollment. We had 50 campers that joined us. We also um get our middle school and high school kids involved. We had three leadership interns who were high schoolers that volunteer and they come and help. They each are assigned to lead a group of kids and we had four leaders in training. So, four junior high kids who were able to attend and kind of learn. Um, the goal

004is to then become camp leaders as they get older, but they help out with the kids as well. Um, we also had a camp parent. This was our first time. We had a parent that volunteered to help with some advertising. Um, so she was involved as well. Students rotate through four modules, four kind of projects each day and they take breaks for lunch and games. Um this is a cost to students so they pay to attend the camp. Um however everything for this camp um the stipens that pay the teachers, the materials, the curriculum, the games, the training that's provided is all provided from the National Inventors Hall of Fame. So the only thing the school has to provide is the location. Um, and the great thing about it is students are able to take

005home all of their projects and we are able to keep any extra resources they send. They send tape, scissors, glue, um, crafting materials. We are able to restock Titan Hills Maker Space with those extra materials. Um, and Stephanie was an instructor at the camp and she was going to share a little bit about the modules. >> Yes. Um, I'm Stephanie Donner. I'm a teacher at Titan Hill. Um, there are four different uh, stations that the kids got to go through. One of them was called illusion workshop. Um, really what it is is like an optical illusion. So they got to make like a little spinner and they got to draw little picture cards and when they would spin it they would get to see it in like rotating so it looked like it was actually

006moving. Um, another one was called in control. They made control panels which I think l brought her example so maybe she'll talk about it but um, the kids also got to learn Morris code and if they sat across from another student they could communicate with them. So kind of a cool thing. >> Cool. um penguin launch as you see Paige has one and I This is Pangi. Pangi was our penguin mascot. Um they got to do some robots with a little uh um penguin in a rover. And they got to learn about um they got to take water samples and kind of learn how um the ice is deteriorating and how penguins need that. So that was kind of cool. And then they would also get to launch the penguins. They got launch pads. And

007then the final one was called uh claw arcade. Um they got to create their own claw machines. Um they would get to create their own inventions to put in the claw machine um and things like that. So it's kind of a cool thing. All right. And we do have a few campers. So I'll let them share their name and if they want to share a project they brought or something that they really enjoyed about camp. Do you want to share what you liked about camp? So say your name. Uh, my name is Ben >> and uh what I liked about it is that you get to create stuff and uh one of my favorites was Illusion Workshop because uh we got to like we had markers and there was like a spinning thing and I

008would like put the marker on there and it would look like uh it was moving. Would you like to share with you? >> Would you say your name? >> My name is L and this is my invention. It I can send stuff to other people's um thing and um you press you press buttons. One says dash and one says dot. And then there's little white bulbs that say dash and dot and when you light up. >> Cool. Cool. >> And then they send it to other people's and there's a code to say which weather they send it in and then you can make a word with that. >> That's awesome. Very nice. >> So cool. Love it. >> Introduce yourself. Oh, sorry. >> Hi, I'm Paige Benson. I have gone into fourth grade this year

009and I've gone to Kim Invention twice. And there are a few things I'd like to share with you. Like here is one of our books. Uh we'll get a book every year that will keep track of our different things. So this year we had Clarkade, Penguin, Launch, Illusion Workshop, and In Control. And here are some of few uh things that you do. Sometimes you'll be given a thing and you can decorate. Like on this thing that she had, um I had this. It was supposed to be a little decoration of a prototype of a candy dispenser. And then sometimes you'll be given something and you get to decorate it like this from Illusion Workshop where it's like a prop and then it uh uses air pressure and I got to decorate to a tiger opening

010its mouth. And then sometimes you'll get to be able to create your own special thing to launch stuff. Um, in this part we had to try and launch a penguin and it had uh to pick up uh other things. So I made this catapult, well prototype of it. And yeah, and Camp Invention is a great uh place, I'd say, for kids that love to make stuff and be creative. And sometimes middle schoolers and high schoolers uh get to help out, too. >> Very cool. >> Awesome. Thank you, Paige. >> Did you guys have any questions for the campers or for us? >> What was your favorite What was your favorite day? Any of the three of you, what was your favorite day? What was the one that you enjoyed doing the most? >> Doers. >>

011Um, doing in control building this. And I like doing the wires and putting the batteries in. My personal favorite was the entire thing. >> Uh, and uh, sorry. >> And, uh, I think in not uh, the one this summer, but last summer, there was one where you got to build like anything basically. And uh it was really fun getting to build any a lot of stuff with my friends. Uh we got limited stuff to make it with. We would have like uh tin foil, some little like popsicle sticks, and like uh let's like string. >> Yeah, I think that's what they liked is the materials seemed endless. So they didn't get a certain amount. they were able to go shop for what they wanted to use >> and use whatever they wanted to. So, >>

012well, I will say that I'm impressed >> and uh to say the least and I you guys said this is your second year doing it. >> Page has been second. Is this your first year or did you do it last year? >> I think your brother did it last year and we did it this year. Yeah. And so are you guys going back and telling your friends? Like is it is it growing year by year? >> Uh I'm definitely going to go next year. >> We do. We have a we get a few extra campers each year. So this year we had 50. I think when we started the camp a couple summers ago, we had about 40 campers. So >> yeah. >> Very cool. >> I just want to make sure. Did all the

013penguins survive the catapult launching? >> Uh no penguins were harmed. I hope. Perfect answer. Thank you. >> They are magnetic. >> Also, some fell on my shoulder. >> But >> I was wondering how they were sticking to your shirt. >> When I got mine, um, it had a little stuffing out of it. >> And it had a hole in it. >> You got a replacement one, did you? >> Oh, or maybe you need one. >> Did they send enough penguins? They sent they did send enough penguins. >> Okay. Do you still talk to some of your friends in Morris code? >> Your parents? >> Uh, no. Cuz I don't even know it. >> Use your cheat sheet. Huh? >> Go ahead. >> With the Morse code thing, this is just a funny thing. Um, my

014sister since she was helping out, she got like um a extra and we realized if we put it in the right spot, it can go through walls. Oh, >> but only singled like in between groups. >> Very cool. >> Her sister was one of the LITs, so one of the middle school um helpers. >> Very cool. >> Was she a good helper? >> Yes. >> Oh, she was the the middle schoolers and high schoolers were amazing how it was fun to get them involved. >> And you said it's a it's a full week. >> It's a full week. Full days. Full week. >> Very fun. >> Yeah. >> Right. Thank you guys. Yeah. >> All right. Thank you for coming. Were there any other commendations? Good news? >> Uh, just that we're off and running.

015Um, I did want to we have a another National Merit uh uh semi-finalist. So, I'll talk about that a little bit more uh the next meeting. And then um we also had a we already have one school record broke this year. Uh Miss Hos broke the uh school record for cross country. And then otherwise we just I mean if you're up here at any given time I mean there's we talked about when they redid the parking lot putting like a gate across so kids can't come in after a certain time. >> They have to though like our our schools and our and our facilities are busy all around the clock. So um you know and really we're we're pretty successful so far. Football had a couple really tough two games. Um but came up just

016short in both games. I think it's, you know, if you're going to if you're going to lose those ones, it's better to lose now and figure yourself out and and finish the year strong. So, it's going to be a long season, but we lost to two top six ranked teams. And so, um, looking forward to seeing what the guys can do the rest of the year. Uh, volleyball just had a tremendous comeback victory, uh, over Clarinda, um, last Thursday night and and, uh, um, they were down 20 and came back and won. And and I don't I'm not sure after they're down 20 if if you would have found too many people in the gym that would have would have thought they were going to, you know, win a third, let alone win the whole

017thing. I mean, Clarinda was a ranked team in in 3A. So, uh, but they did. They came back and won. Um, uh, swimming's off to a hot start. Uh, girls, uh, tennis is going on right now. Um, show choir is just getting spun up and started. The marching band, I think, has been out uh on the field about every night. They've been out there a ton. Um I they played uh in our in our home game last week or two weeks ago, they played uh just one of their one of their songs, a portion of their songs, and it was it was phenomenal. So, looking forward to the rest of their show. Um but yeah, otherwise we, you know, as I'll share in my update, we got Breakfast Buddies coming up. We have, you know,

018teachers starting the school year strong. So all very positive things so far. Lots of good things. But any other commendations? Good news. Okay. Then we will move on to comments and suggestions. This is the first section of our meeting where we open the floor or our online public to any comments that they may have for the board. Do we have anybody online? >> We have some viewers, but no comments yet. Let's give it >> We'll give it a minute. [Applause] We'll say the tennis court looks like it's coming along. >> Yeah. >> Should be what? Maybe by the end of the month. >> First part of October. Just picked out colors for it. >> Yeah. >> Not a lot of options. >> Juicy. >> There's not a lot of options. No. >> Yeah. For a

019tennis court there would be. Yeah, >> you're good. >> Good. Okay, then we will move on to the consent agenda. >> Lisa, Lisa, is there's a updated personal sheet, I believe. >> Do we have some updates? >> Yes. Okay. Then can I get a bunch? >> And then there's also the two fundraisers uh additional fundraisers at your seats. >> Oh, skills USA. >> Okay. Can I get a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented? >> Motion to approve. Second >> vote, please. >> Mrs. McDaniel, >> yes. >> Mrs. Peterson, >> yes. >> Mrs. Shuffle, >> yes. >> Mr. Sorenson, >> yes. >> Mr. Sturm, >> yes. >> Miss Atkins, >> yes. >> Mr. Wright, >> yes. >> Reports 6.01, Superintendent Report. >> All right. So, just as I touched some good things a little

020bit, um, we're off to a a hot start. Um, have a lot of activities coming up here. We have breakfast buddies. Uh next week is the National Honor Society induction. Um we have a couple kids are already doing great things breaking school records. Um new teachers and staff. I wanted to give a a shout out um so far. Um I've talked to quite a few of the new teachers. They absolutely love uh being here at Lewis Central. Um so and big reason why is their colleagues. They they're just super impressed by by the staff that we have here which we know. I mean, we know we have rock stars, so it's nice hearing people come in and right off the bat being like, "Listen, it's it's it's been an awesome beginning experience." And then on

021the flip side, I've talked to several seasoned teachers, and they're just very impressed about the new teachers, new staff that have coming in and and just doing a great job. And that's just not teachers, that's, you know, that's our uh par educators, that's our maintenance workers, that's, you know, people seem to be jumping right in and and doing a fantastic job. Um uh let's see here. We talked about strategic planning a little bit. So when we left off uh in August, the board had kind of set their priorities. uh this Thursday will be the first time that we go and we talk with uh the DT about those strategic uh priorities and then that they'll start making sense of them trying to figure out how to create um goals that are actionable that we're able

022to measure that we're able to um be able to report back in a timely manner regularly back to the board to show how we're progressing. And then from there, those goals will go to the building levels and then they'll come up with the strategies that we're using in order to meet those goals. And so, um, that's all coming together nicely. Uh, Lisa's done a a great job of kind of outlining that for the DT and the in the work that she's done so far. And, um, I think it'll be well received on Thursday. Um, I just had something on the tip of my tongue that I was going to talk about and it was give me give me a second here. Shoot. I'll I'll think of it as I probably be at the end of

023my facility present. Yeah, we'll come back to it. But, um, so yeah, just been a positive start to the school year. Um, >> was it Breakfast Buddies? >> Wasn't breakfast buddies. It was I told myself I should write this down. Like write that part down. And I didn't because I'm like well that's going to be what I mainly talk about. >> It's not teammates. No, I don't know. We'll have to come back to it. Otherwise, I'll >> share that the next time. >> See the alumni tailgate maybe? >> No. No. They got a lot of new things. They're going to have alumni tailgate. >> I'm a part of that, too. >> Yes. So, that's exciting. There is a group of parents that are, you know, doing what they can to to help out with um

024homecoming festivities. So, we're going to have an alumni tailgate. Uh they're fundraising to uh get some new decorations and that kind of stuff in. So, um kudos goes out to parents getting involved and helping out with that. The PTA has been a rockstar so far. Uh kind of hitting the ground running with all the different activities they do. I know Craft was super pumped that they got a new uh mini ice or like the little crushed ice machine. They got one down there. So, um so PTA does a great job with that. Uh booster clubs really done a great job of of getting sponsors again for us this year. You know, one of the things that's interesting and I think everybody is is kind of dealing with this in some form or the other. We're

025finding less people that want to attend games. They they rather stay at home, watch it on TV, um kind of do that. And so we're seeing our our gates drop a little bit, but we've kind of that's been kind of an emerging trend. And at the flip side, it's getting harder and harder to get referees and officials. And so we've had to pay referees and officials more money. all the equipment that we get costs more money. And so, um, really without the booster club fundraising for us, our athletic programs could be in pretty pretty big trouble. Our activity programs could be in pretty big trouble. But, uh, because they do such a great job for us. But, uh, yeah, there's just a lot of, you know, we're getting less gate and so it's going to

026take more efforts to in order to provide, um, the the level of support that our students have come to know and appreciate here at Lewis Central. So, um, and I still can't think about what that thing was. Darn it. Shoot. Yeah. So, that's that's kind of the the abbreviated update until I can think of what it was. It'll probably hit me like in the middle of the discussion items or something, >> but sorry about that. >> Any questions, comments on the superintendent report? >> Okay. You want to touch on facilities? Yep. Facilities. So, we just did a just for the community out there, we just did a um board work session which did we discussed the middle school renovations. So, just so full transparency um looking to uh have a budget about $7.5 million to

027renovate the middle school next year. What that'll go into and as the board found out today, it's going to be primarily infrastructure, um HVAC, uh there's some plumbing, there's some sewer, a little bit of electrical with lighting. Um there's a lot of uh like generic um stuff like exterior envelopes. Um and then the interior renovation is going to happen in the form of uh upgrades throughout the classroom. So you're going to see new flooring. Um you're going to see paint. You potentially will see some ceiling uh tiles and grid. Um but the majority of the money is going to go into our into our HVAC and and other major infrastructure issues. And so, uh, you'll see a little bit of a faith faceelift on the outside, but it's amazing. You know, a couple years ago,

02820 years ago, $7.5 million might have built you a school, and now $7.5 million will will get you some new tile flooring and carpet and and uh some HVAC. So, it's just amazing how that has changed in the last 20 years. So, originally when I thought 7 half million, I'm like, "Oh, sweet. We'll put this big addition on and we'll do all this." No, that's not the case at all. We can't do any of that. So, they shut you down pretty quick. So, uh, but it's still going to be it's it's going to be really good for our kids. They'll get a what feels like a new building and so that'll be and for for our staff and they were excited. We had anformational session with the staff last week and got some feedback from

029them and uh they were pretty excited for it. So, um, other things and facilities. So, I asked uh Dr. Hartman to pull up the website here. Emma's been doing a great job of keeping the website updated. If you go down, one of the things I wanted to show is you will see the in progress items there. You'll see that list right there is pretty small, you know, in comparison if you scroll down through the complete items. So, it's been all those things that have taken place this summer. Um, but the in progress stuff really what we have left is the underfield or under the the bleacher storage. Um, we have the safety vestibule, which if you go out and you look at the high school right now, you'll see that they've started um clearing out

030the area in front of the high school in order to make room for the footings for that for that new addition. Um, you look at the high school uh tennis courts over there, they're about ready for surfacing to be put on. Uh, the colors that were selected were navy for the surfacing and then the outside of it will be like a gray. So, uh, it'll look pretty sharp. um craft playground. They do have the majority of the equipment all put up. Um they are just waiting to pour concrete. They're supposed to do it end of last week, but I don't think they got to it. So maybe they're going to do it today or tomorrow. And once they have that down, it's got to sit for a week and then they put surfacing down. So

031we're hoping, fingers crossed, by about mid next week, um that we'll be able to open it up for for the kids. So that'll be pretty exciting. And then at the same time, they've just started the Titan Hill, the playground that's considered the music playground, the small playground, the newest playground will get a um as the equipment's already being put together. So, if you drive over there, you'll see that some of the equipment's been put together and kind of laying there. Uh they'll get that equipment in and then get that poured and get that uh turf down and then um so then and then they'll start on the back side. So, right now it's been the way they phased it. It's it actually worked out pretty well because our kids have been able to utilize the

032back playground um this whole time and then they'll finish the front playground and then they'll move to the front and then and then the the construction people will be in the back. So, and they'll knock it out, you know, three 3 weeks or so. So, they're thinking midocctober and everything is going to be done. So, it's a little bit of a lot later than what I was hoping, but I mean, at this point, it is what it is. We just we're we're making the best of the situation. Uh, other things that are finished that people have commented on, obviously the high school parking lot, that's getting a lot of oo and a's, you know, just the fact that people can drive uh through our parking lot without feeling they're going to blow a tire. Like,

033that's that's pretty positive. um the Titan Hill U addition, the the hill going up the hill. If we could get parents to like fill in both lanes, you know, every morning and then in the afternoon do the same thing. Everybody likes to get in the right lane because that's the one that goes up uh that goes into the school and they think it's first, but it's not. They'll let about 10 cars in on the right, then stop that and let 10 cars in on the left. So, believe it or not, moves about the same speed, but people like to stay in that right lane and not go in the left. So, the right lane will be back clear down to the road and the left will be wide open. So, we the community put the

034money into those lanes. It'd be great if everybody could use both lanes and then we could get almost everybody, you know, off of Titan Hill and open up that entry for emergency vehicles. And cuz that's the thing people don't understand either is when they stay in the one lane and they don't get in both lanes or they don't scoot up close to the car in front of them, then it backs down to the road again and then makes it hard for our buses to get up there if we had an emergency vehicle that need to be up there. So if everybody kind of did their part and scooched a little bit closer to the car in front of you and actually filled up both lanes, that would be great. So I'm sure I'm sure I

035got every parent tonight listening to me on there. They'll be like, "You know what? We're going to do that. It's going to happen. >> Maybe you need that little cheat sheet. We we've tried. Yeah. So, >> um >> next thing we have is uh so we put in this new Raptor system and that was actually paid for not on the bond but out of the um the safety money that the state gave us. So the state gave us $50,000 per building. We just actually applied for the for the refund and that money went into these badge systems that um every staff member has and there are strobes in every part of our building. They're missing a few pieces. They're going to have to go in and and get those going. But once it's up and

036going, um if there's an emergency within the building, they can or if I have an issue in the building, I can tap my badge. if I don't have to if I'm not near a phone, I don't have my cell phone on me, you know, something happens, a student has a medical issue or there's a fight or, you know, something like that that I don't need to lock down the building, but it'd be really nice if I could have some help. Everybody in our district that's in the building, so like bus drivers don't have it cuz they don't work. I mean, there's nobody's going to come to your rescue on a bus. So, but if you're in the building, you would tap this uh so many times. That will send an alert to our administrators that

037are in that building with a location on a map and they'll be able to come straight to you and be like, "Hey, I saw you needed help." And uh was just used last week. Uh they did click it a lot of times, which then would technically set off all the strobes, put everybody in a lockdown mode, instantly call the police. But because we hadn't quite switched it over, there's like a process, an onboarding process Raptor does. Luckily, it that response wasn't needed and so those things didn't go off. But moving forward, if it's pushed a lot of times, then every it just all heck breaks loose. We have uh your screens will be hijacked, your strobes will go off, it'll send an instant notification to the uh to law enforcement that says a lockdown has

038been initiated within our buildings. And it just gets that going right now versus, you know, what's been in the past of, you know, whoever sees something would have to try to get to the office or call the office to notify him who would then have to send on, you know, it's just it saves precious seconds and so it'll be a good system once it's all the bugs are worked out. So, um, give us another week or so on that and it'll be we'll be up and going. So, and I still can't think of that thing I was going to talk about. That is going to bother me >> really bad. That's all right. It probably hit me at night. I'll >> I'll have to send an email out like 1:00 in the morning when I

039remember that. >> Let us know. Then we'll remind you next meeting. This is what you want. >> Yes, that's correct. That's correct. >> All of us to remind you. >> So, yeah. So, we are it's everything's moving along. we are starting to go into the next phase of of planning for next next summer's work, which is what that middle school conversation was about. But then there's also things like some high school HVAC. Um there's high school and middle school LED lights. There's the middle school parking lot. Um so there's more projects next year that are to come as well. So it's but it's all very good. Oh, one of the other things is we should have by sometime in October, we will have um new parking lot cameras and license plate readers in our parking

040lots. And so, teenagers, if you're out there listening to the board meeting, which I'm sure we are, I'm sure every student out there is watching the board meeting right now, uh if you come into our parking lot late at night, we will have your license plate number. So, if you're just going to hang out and chill, that's great. But if you're not, we'll have your license plate. So, just a little FYI. So, but it's a good way for us to make sure that our our property is taken care of and our our kids are safe. So, any other questions, comments during facility updates? Okay. Then we will move to discussion items. 7.01, Board Policy Series 300, Administration first reading. >> Yep. So, it's just a first reading. Um, if you go through, I sent you

041guys a link to all of the policy updates. And, um, the vast majority, I would say every policy, but two is just if you just click on any of those, uh, Dr. Hartman, you'll see it's simply changing a date. They ISB had no recommended updates. And so, it was just everything that's in red is a change. So, it's just a we have to review them every 5 years. So, this just been a review. And then if you go back to go to 303 um 303.3 this is one for instance where the language has changed. IASB has basically consolidated that language up top into kind of a more concise statement. And so that is that's just a change recommended by IASB. And if you go to go back to the policies and you go to the

042go up, it's the structural organization or the there you go. The one that looks like it's a Excel spreadsheet. There we go. This is just an update. So we've since my time here, we've we've um changed up the organizational structure a little bit. We used to have um these some of these used to live under like one department. like the transportation director, the building grounds director, the nutrition person used to all be under one one uh umbrella and then we've since separated them out because they're all very different jobs. Um we used to have uh like an assistant superintendent oversaw like technology and curriculum instruction and um when we didn't replace that position, we then we then kind of separated those duties out a little bit. So, uh, so if you look those, that's just

043kind of the new, uh, structure. I got to recenter the that's going to bother me. Yep. I'm going to have to recenter that. But outside of that, the the terms are correct now. So, outside of that, that's really I mean, two two policies that had any major change. Everything else is pretty just dates. So, >> do some of our policies not have a legal reference? >> Some of them don't. Some of them have a um they'll refer back to other policies and then some of them in which >> that we do have some policies that are not recommended like it's shouldn't say they're not recommended by ISB but they're ones that the board have created that don't like ISB never gave anything so the board must have created these years ago and and it's just

044for whatever reason and there's and I review those too and honestly if I don't feel like they need to be revisited if it's something that's pretty straightforward. Uh, one of the policies we have in here talks specifically about uh, administrative contracts and ISB actually doesn't have a a policy that covers that. So, the board just has an extra policy that kind of just gives a little more detail until into how they do administrative contracts. It's doesn't hurt anything. It's totally fine. I don't get rid of it, but again, it probably doesn't have any legal reference to it because it's not it's not required by law to be in there. So, But this is just a first reading. So if you have any questions between now and the 22nd, you know, let me know. But nothing

045nothing too exciting. Any other comments? >> Okay, then we will move to the second portion of comments and suggestions for our meeting. So, uh, this will be the last opportunity for this, uh, meeting to where the public can share any comments or suggestions with the board. Do we have any suggestions online? >> Not yet. >> Okay, we'll give it a minute. >> I don't feel like I have said anything tonight. >> It's been a very short, >> right? So, >> I want to know what it is that you're forgetting. So, It was something to do with with our staff, but I I cannot think and it was a really cool thing, but that's all I know. Something >> staff training or >> a fun day? >> No, I >> the first Wednesday. >> Did somebody

046win an award? >> No, nobody won an award. >> You were talking about questions right now. >> What's that? >> You were talking about new staff and how they >> I don't know. And it was it was going to lead into my next thing and then that's why I didn't write it down because I'm like, "Oh, it piggybacks off of this." But then I never piggybacked anywhere. So I got just just gone. So >> the case of the Mondays, I think. I don't know. >> Case of the Mondays. >> You're good. >> We're good. Okay. >> Hearing no comments and suggestions and we don't really have any action items. >> Nope. This is it. >> So uh items of interest, future board meetings. Our next regularly scheduled board meeting September 22nd at 6:30. You have

047anything to add on that or? >> No. The only thing I would also add is uh board election paperwork is due September 18th by 5:00 pm, >> which is next Thursday. >> Okay. >> How many have turned in papers? >> So far, two. >> I've seen signs for those two. So, okay. >> No. Oh, >> there's signs out for people that haven't quite turned their stuff in yet. >> Okay. Mine's right here. >> There we go. >> Okay. Well, hearing nothing further. Can I get a motion to adjourn our meeting for this evening? >> Motion to >> second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. I
