With that, I will kick it over to Dr. Ryan Toy for her superintendent report. >> Great. And I am excited tonight to have an opportunity to introduce all of our new district 96
002teachers. So, we had an opportunity to have an informal dinner with them before the board meeting tonight, which was our first first annual. You'll have to give us feedback on how that was. The food was good. Um the company was great, of course. Um and Angela, I think, are you going to get us started? Okay, great. Good evening everybody. Um so very excited to introduce new staff members to you. We are very lucky to have I think I counted six seven oh I did not do that on purpose. Um six or seven staff new staff members here. Um so as you've seen in the past uh we have the new staff members do trading cards about themselves and then share them and you'll get to see the staff members who weren't able to join us
003tonight as well. So, at the administration center, you know that Molly Caster has joined our staff. Is Molly still in here or is she? Oh, she left. Molly um Caster has joined our administration staff um for communications. And you can see I will spare you reading a slide to you, but here you go a few seconds to see some of Molly's facts. And also at the administration office is Molly Marquat, our new director of technology. And then from Ames Elementary School, we have um Jacqueline Deanda is a pair professional at Ames.

Liz Schaefer is a new pair professional. Mary Terramino is a new um is our new resource teacher at AS. Hey Mary, >> I forgot to look behind me and see who's here. I'm just flipping through. I did not see on your statistic that you're a Lions fan. >> I also did not see your Michigan State fan. We won't talk about that. >> Um I think I might have known that though. Weren't you wearing like a Michigan State sweatshirt? >> Probably. >> Um we have um >> Mary, do you have >> Thank you. Estrada, I did not want to butcher her name.

And then Kaylee Gil Gaholi. Did I say it right? >> Yeah. >> Y >> is new third grade teacher at Central or at Hollywood. >> And then at Hower, I think we're just going to roll through because I don't see any new Hower staff members sitting in the audience. Kathy Goodwin teaches sixth grade mathematics. Isabelle Hillier is a new pair professional. Mayana Klene is our new instructional coach. Katarina Papadopoulos is a new seventh grade math teacher. Did anyone ever watch the show Webster? >> Nope. No. >> Thank you. >> A long time ago. >> Yes, cuz I am dating

And that must be it because it's not going forward. So, this is in the board packet because I did flip through really fast. If you want to see some of the facts about our teachers, they um it's really interesting just to see some of the things that are their hobbies and their favorites. And we are very excited to have all of our new staff members join district 96. They have done such a great job um just in these first four weeks of school. and we just look forward to the great wonderful contributions you continue to bring. So, welcome to District 96
008and thank you guys so much for coming tonight. [Applause] >> Well, welcome to everybody, but also just thanks for those of you that came out tonight. It was nice to be able to sit down and chat for a little bit. There's not a lot of interaction that we have just naturally or otherwise. So, it's good to take advantage of these moments. So, appreciate you taking your time and coming out to spend it with us for a little bit before this meeting. Thank you. >> Yeah, thanks for joining us. And I know um Angela had pointed out, I will point out that you all should exit because I know you have busy days ahead of you tomorrow. So um and you're welcome to stay in here, but we're moving on to the Ble Park playground next,
009which is going to be interesting. But >> thank you. >> All right. Thanks for coming. >> Ble Park staffers though. So I know. >> So the next item on the superintendent report is the BL Park playground design and visioning update. We have Steve Wright and Ryan Kelly here from DA Architects who helped facilitate um another wonderful playground visioning session. I know the board is all aware that we did a morning coffee session with uh all invited adults in the community. We had uh what did I say about five to seven it seemed like mostly parents and then some representatives from the village who joined us for a session um just before this and then we spent a good chunk of the morning with a group of students that were representative of each of their grade
010levels and classrooms and then the next day we had an uh evening session. And we knew we we felt offering a morning and an evening would be a great way to get um as much community engagement as we could. And we had about 30 family members, parents, um community members, and some representatives from the village join us for that. And then with all of that, uh DA did some photography and some video to kind of tell the story. But if you want to both or however you want to do I just want the video to tell the story entirely. Up to you. >> I think video tells the story, but it so thank you for having us. Uh if you look around the room uh you'll see some of the great uh ideas and artwork
011that uh students of district 96 did. Um as Dr. Ryan Toy said we spent uh the morning some of the community members and then had a great session uh with representatives from all grade levels uh at Ble Park. Uh and then when we had an evening session uh the next day um with some community members again uh and board members as well. So uh a lot of great feedback was heard. Um, so I'll play the video and I think that really tells the story and then happy to answer any questions, talk a little more [Music] job and a very important job today. Okay. So, you're going to be sharing your ideas um with our architects um for what you think would make for the very best playground. Um, and so you have your ideas that
012you talked about in your classroom and you guys I see some people have brought. >> Good morning everyone. >> Nice to meet you. My name is Ryan Kelly. I'm with DA Architects. I'm here with >> Hi, I'm Steve Wright. Nice to meet you guys. Thank you all for joining us. >> All right. Uh, is there anything that you would like to improve with your playground? >> Yeah. Sho that's cool. What about you? >> Zero wood chips. They get in your shoes, don't they? >> Yeah. Rubber. >> Rubber is nice. >> Obstacle course. Okay. So, let's do this. Let's start our first activity because a lot of the types of equipment activities that you just talked about and and so what we'd like to do is we got a bunch of different types of equipment here.
013A lot of them talk about some of the activities that you just mentioned. So we're going to give you three stickers. You're going to have a number one, a number two, and a number three. Blue is going to be your number three choice. All right. So there's your number one and you can just come up I knew that was going to be your number one. >> I think a lot of kids would like that one and they would have long pors. >> Um, my second one was the little park. Okay. >> Um, it looks a lot like names and I really do realize the perfect names. >> Okay. >> And then my name >> this one here. >> Pink. >> Oh, that's cool. I like that. >> My one I think that >> the span.
014Okay. [Music] [Applause] [Music] truly [Music] happy. [Applause] I got [Music] ideas you you had them. Now we want to hear you explain them a little. So we can just a couple different ways we can gather around if you think it's okay explaining your design. So we're going to start with You sure if you're ready? >> Mhm. >> You want to go first? >> Yeah, I'll go first. >> Okay. All right. >> Made So the very first one I made made a ship and then I made a castle. Then a baseball field and a triple slide, a basketball tennis court, a monkey bars and dust bars, a trampoline, rock climbing board. If you fall down, you just be safe. A bridge. a soccer field and a spider web and a >> Wow, that's a lot. >>
015Unless they did a big collaboration on Super Park. >> All right, so you guys can present together. >> Yeah, >> we're here. We have like the toddler area with a sandbox and a little slide. We have >> basketball courts, tennis courts, a slide area, and then a bunch of swings, a soccer field, and then we have this big um obstacle course that goes from start, and you follow these arrows all the way. >> I did like um like a spinny thing kind of and I did like a zip line and then um like a cop slide, but like not like like a water slide. It's a tube slide. Looks like a water slide. And um starts from the top with like a big curve and um >> um so I have like a cheese stone
016for you like um >> you write cheese on there for me. Tell us about it. >> First tennis court. with um a spot for nonra and um we have a roller slide. No, this I I don't know what it's called, but it's one of those tables, picnic tables that run back and forth, a um a spider web. This is a roller. >> What would it be? >> Rubber floor. I don't >> trampoline [Music] [Applause] >> today. >> I really appreciate all the work that you put into it this morning. Uh also before I love some of the notes and pictures that you brought. If you're comfortable leaving those with us, we'd like to share those with your parents and the school board. Uh also, thank you very much. This has been great. is going to
017help us design a good playground for you and really looking forward to be showing you our final design. Excellent. [Music] If you haven't seen one of those videos before, I've been involved in one of those sessions. It's it's a lot of fun. And you can see the the excitement building and um they had a great time. So do we. Um so some of those things that they those lists that they brought are sitting on the table there. Each student was a representative for their class. So they had a list of things that they talked to their class and they thought were important to them. Uh so it was great. Uh it was interesting that there was a lot of overlap and what they talked about inclusivity um having different spaces to do different things having
018that park connected. Those were a lot of the same things that the community member and the village talked about as well. So um that's all I have for you today. I'm happy to answer any questions, but uh I think that gives us a good uh springboard to uh put a final design into place and uh we can come back to you with that. >> How are you going to get the trampoline floor in >> that? I don't know. Not everything's going to make it >> heard that one in the past. >> All good ideas. Yeah, we've had that idea in the past. >> Have you? Okay. >> Yeah, >> these ideas were a little more pragmatic and practical than we've seen in years past, but no no bad ideas. >> That's was going to ask
019if there were just like the common, you know, the zip line. It was always a zipline. >> Always a zipline. Spinny thing. I don't know what it's called. >> The spinny thing. The swings. The traditional swings are a must. Uh that's always a big hit. Um but they did talk about being in the park. Um you know, having somewhere to, you know, hide and sit and and those kinds of things. So, yeah, it was a good good diversity, I thought. >> Yeah. >> Do you want to give just a quick I know not formally not a formal timeline, but kind of an overview of where we >> Yeah. So, um, we wanted to obviously get through this step. Um, we have, as we've talked about at board meeting about a month or two ago, we've
020done a test fit to see if capacity, uh, we could increase that and we can. Um, the village did have some input of our ability to increase the footprint of the playground itself. Um, that's something that, um, we don't need to do, but we can investigate. Um, and then as far as a schedule timeline, we'd be looking to come back uh with final designs toward the end of this year. Uh, bid this project out in December. Hopefully have contracts in place in January uh for your approval. Um, and then uh potentially build this in the summer of 2026. I know we uh I won't speak for the village, but I think they have a similar timeline for the renovation of the tennis courts. Um I'm not privy to obviously all that information, but they did
021say that they were planning a summer construction in the 26. >> These aren't co-mingled projects. We're just trying to time them up. >> No, they're not. >> Is there gonna I'm just curious. Is there going to be any issues with the contractors on site being I don't know like doing two jobs at the same time? Is are there any challenges with that that we should be aware of? >> I don't think so. No, I mean we we would have and I at this point we will have a fenced in construction site that will be the footprint of the playground. Okay. >> Everything outside of that is not part of the construction site. Um so anything that the village is doing would be their construction site. Should be no blurring of those. And Ryan, I'm just
022going to clarify because you talked about this increased footprint, this possibility of an increased footprint and really where the conversation came up. If you go and walk around the current BL playground, there are just areas where kids play, I would say just on the very edges of what's the defined playground space. And so one thought was where sort of the grass is already dead or things are already kind of trampled down. They're sort of almost a natural line where the kids do play. But I would say it's not significantly bigger. >> No, not significantly bigger. >> There were some questions about that too. There were some questions like should we increase the footprint cuz the area around it is muddy anyway and kids play there. Um, one thing that we do plan on doing is
023raising the entire elevation of that playground 3 in uh to stabilize the area around it uh because it does run off. Um so uh but we wouldn't need to do that in order to stabilize it. So it would be purely for uh to create different zones or you know some increased capacity. Cool. >> I think it might be good to know just because this I think there was some community feedback that was more targeted toward things that are not playground related just kind of this does get a little bit tricky because we're trying to do kind of in partnership with the village but not a co- project with the village. So there is that I think we just for the for the community we're going to be focused on the playground and the needs of
024the students and it happens to be a community playground not necessarily a co-mingled project with the basketball pickleball court thing that they're doing. So just as the community >> the playground >> Yeah. and access to the playground and all that. So we're we are really focused on and correct me if I'm wrong but we are focused on the playground footprint and the items that go in the playground and that's it. We're not really going beyond that scope. >> Yeah that's I mean that's the direction that that we've understood. Um, one thing that I I didn't mention that is important and was discussed was fencing around the playground. I know that that was something from staff that they thought was important. Okay. >> Um, the village was clear that they would entertain uh we obviously have
025to go through a review process, but would entertain fencing around the playground itself. Um, but they had no intention of fencing around the entire park. >> Yeah, that makes sense. So, similar to what we have at Central Correct or Yeah, I guess techn Hollywood. Yeah, we've done that at the other playgrounds as well. >> But yeah, there was quite a bit of feedback that was about the park and and other pieces that are not part of this project and the village made that clear as well at those meetings. >> Are there any other concerns that we need to be aware of at this point just as we go through it? Um no the only concern I mean it's not a concern is schedule. I mean we need to go through uh several village review processes.
026Um you know they're aware of this project obviously. Um MWRD is a process that we have to go through uh as well as village engineering. So all those all those are pieces that we always have to go through but are always schedule impacts. So we're on a pretty tight timeline. >> Yeah. Because I mean that's 14 weeks basically if you want to get it approved by us to go out to bid. >> Yeah. >> And all those are timed out in scheduled meetings. So okay, it does feel kind of tight as you kind of call that out. >> Be juggling dates, but I I think we can do it. We need to hit all of them uh in sequence uh to be able to come back to you with a a design for approval to
027go out to bid. Um, and then we would bid that and then have bids that uh we recommend for award. >> Are we going to get any kind of preliminary designs before you go through all of that just to make sure we're all on board with what it looks like before you go through all that process and then we want to change or something like that? >> Certainly can. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Y >> because it does feel tight with all the extra approvals that we need to do. But I'm guessing most of you probably would like to see some preliminary stuff before a final design is here and then we run into some sort of roadblock. >> Sure. >> I don't know if that's I don't know how that does with your timeline,
028but >> we've got a little bit of float in there, let's say. So, I mean, if if we don't award contracts in January, it's not going to derail the project completely. So, I mean, we we would like to stay as close to that schedule as possible, but yeah, I mean, certainly we can come back with a final design. >> Okay. I mean, I would say let's uh try to do that as soon as possible. >> Yeah. I'll touch base with you Ryan about getting on which meeting for the board because I know the village sent out some of their review dates too. So, yeah, this could because there's multiple uh right commissions and >> right. So, we've got preservation, um parks district, uh >> landscape advisory. >> Oh, yes. Thank you. Landscape advisory and then
029village board ultimately village board approval. So, if we could bring it as soon as you're ready, bring it to this board and then but if this board's okay with there may be some meetings that'll happen in between. I think this happened with some of our other projects is because there's four different um village level committees. >> Yeah. >> That then we'll need to have meetings with. >> Why do we need to go through preservation? Is that whole block considered I thought it was just the building that was under the historical stuff. Um, I'm not sure. >> Okay. Parks kind of makes sense because it's technically their park, right? So, that might >> Yeah, parks make sense. Landscaping, village board, uh, preservation. Um, that one was new to me. Um, I don't know if that's somehow
030tied to the the park itself. I thought it was just the building that was on the historic landmark. >> I think it's tied to the Mstead so Society and their vision of that park and just want to make sure it's in concert with your vision. All right. Anybody else? >> Kind of hogged all the questions, didn't we? >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thanks. >> Appreciate it. >> That's the superintendent report. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Uh so that brings us to the approval of tonight's consent agenda. Could I have the board secretary please read the consent agenda? >> Yes. Tonight's consent agenda consists of minutes of the following previous meetings. August 6th, committee of the whole meeting. August 20th, regular business meeting, public hearing. August 20th, close session meeting, uh, close session

I asked Martha, but >> Okay. >> And that's tonight's consent agenda. Thank you. Uh, does anybody wish to remove any of these items before we vote for a motion? Okay. Is there a motion for the board of education to approve the consent agenda as presented? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Kathy, would you please call the role? >> Okay. Miss Claps. >> Hi. >> Mr. Olic. >> I. >> Mr. Bari.
032>> Hi. >> Mr. Hunt. >> I. >> Miss Gun. >> I. >> And Mr. Mayorhead. >> Hi. >> Motion passes. Our next item is the approval of our interimm director of finance and operations. We have the contract here. Um is there a motion for the board of education to approve the interimm director of finance and oper operations as presented? Uh which is Mr. Mark Kaznooki. >> Second. >> Okay. I think uh is there any discussion before we vote on this? I think I'll just I don't know if you want to make any comments, Selena. Just Mark's joining us kind of part-time while we look to fill a new um finance and operations director. So much appreciated. Uh very much a lot of experience coming and already from what I hear Martha's from what you've kind
033of shared with us u already got some good ideas kind of looking at some different things and putting things together. So >> I was going to make an introduction after the vote passed but assuming >> Okay. Sorry. >> Uh okay. So is there I already said it. Um Kathy, could you go the role? >> Okay. >> Mr. Olic. >> Hi. >> Mr. Paradi. >> Hi. >> Mr. Hunt. >> Hi. >> Miss Gun. >> Hi. >> Miss Claps. >> Hi. >> And Mr. Mirhead. >> Hi. >> All right. Motion pass. >> Sorry Mark. >> No. And I was going to let you in all seriousness. Maruski is here. a recently retired superintendent from a neighboring district, district 95, and has graciously agreed to join us as our director of finance and operations under, as you're all
034aware, TRS has some very specific rules around uh what retirees uh can and can't do in terms of work postretirement. So, Mark will be with us for 120 days over the course of this school year. And appreciate his expertise uh in our finance and operations office. And uh Mark's here. I know there's a few items on the agenda that we'll we'll get to uh shortly, but I don't know Mark, if you want to say hi. I think some of you have had a chance to meet Mark informally already, but not all of you. >> Well, I'm not going to follow Ryan's presentation of children putting together playgrounds, but um and I've met some of you uh informally, but uh I appreciate you having me in your district and entrusting me with such important work. Um
035a lot of what you're doing is very exciting. Uh, so I'm glad to be part of Playground Rebuilds that obviously cost money and everything you do costs money. Um, and as you look at some of your aging buildings and some of the projects you have in your long-term strategic plan and your long-term uh, operations plan are exciting. So, I'm glad to be here and help out. We've had a good relationship with Martha over the last 10 years, 12 years being neighboring superintendent. So, um, I'm excited to be here and again, thank you. Sam, I'm personally excited uh when Martha brought this opportunity because I've read all the great things that you've done over in our neighboring district through uh through the landmark over the year. So glad to have you on board and helping out.
036>> Thank you. >> All right. Uh next item is Riverside Education Council. Are there any comments tonight? >> Thank you guys. >> Okay. Any board member comments? pretty early into the school year. >> Haven't been to any musicals yet? >> No, but I have seen kids in PE playing out on the grass. Is that working out well so far? >> Yeah. Yeah, >> it's good. It's good to see them out there. >> All right. Uh so the next up, next item up is the IASB board self assessment. So our last meeting was a fully closed session. We were here for threeish hours with our IASB rep and talked about all the things we do at this table and reviewing a lot of the uh just ongoing things. We went through the standard how a board
037governs all the the basics of of a board, what the board does, how the board works with the superintendent, etc. And part of that workshop was the board agreements u between ourselves just how we're going to conduct ourselves and operate as well as uh how we conduct ourselves and operate with the superintendent. And so both of those I believe these are public view items. Um so tonight we are going to basically just reconfirm these. We I think we just made one or two minor tweaks and some language in here but for the most part we kept it pretty much the same as we have the last few years. Before I make a motion, does anybody have any other comments or anything that they would like to to discuss about what we talked about before we
038vote on these particular agreements? >> Personally, I'd say I think Lori did a great job as always. Glad to have her back again. And >> it was very beneficial. It was a good good session. >> Yep. And you were new, so hopefully you got a lot of value out of it. Yeah. >> All right. Um I will say I didn't do it tonight uh because this is the first meeting that we had it but we are going to one of the things that we are we committed to was with the public comment just having more transparency around what that process is just for when community members do want to come in if they're watching or or attending in the audience kind of having an understanding of how that component of it works. Um so we
039will have something going forward just a a quick blurb uh that I'll I'll read out at the beginning of each meeting for the public comment just to give that context. That was really the only I think major thing that kind of came out of it. So with that, is there a motion for the board to approve the board to board and board to superintendent agreements as presented? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Kathy, would you call the role? >> Okay. Mr. Barcati. >> I. >> Miss Gun. >> Hi. >> Miss Claps. >> Hi. >> Mr. Hunt. >> Hi. >> Mr. Olic. >> Hi. >> Mr. Head. >> Hi. >> Motion passes. >> Thank you. All right. The next item is the Proviso School Township Treasurer appointment of trustee. And here uh Jim Fitton, our prior
040director of finance was our representative here. And so we are nominating Mr. Mark Kaznooki for his interm position here. So, is there a motion that the board of education appoint its interimm director of finance and operations, Mark Khnooki, to serve for a one-year term, which may be renewed as the district's trustees of schools for Riverside Township? >> Second. >> Kathy, would you call the RO? >> Mr. Hi. >> Miss Gun. I >> Mr. Bari. Hi. Mr. Olic. >> Hi, >> Miss Claps. >> Hi. >> And Mr. Mayorhead. >> Hi. >> Motion passes. >> Next up are two different IGAs. And these are not I'm not seeing motions in here. So, these are not formal motions. We're just discussing these correct. >> These are just updates. Um, you want some information about the costs that we've
041been spending on crossing guards. And then the one about the Blake Park tennis court. >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, we've got a 10-year table that was in this one just showing the costs and this the CPI increases and the details of of the cost that we have with the agreement of Riverside. And then the other one is the actual agreement, the contract between the village because the crossing guards are technically employees of the police department if I remember correctly and we partner with them to provide those services for the district. Um, so yeah, that was mostly the cost thing. I think I might take the opportunity here just every year we always have a couple of incidents that bring up the topic of crossing guards and I think from the conversation you've had with uh
042Chief Buckley, we feel good about where they're placed and crossing paths and all that kind of stuff for for kids to safely get to and from schools and just uh continuing to remind parents to talk to your kids about that. make sure they use crosswalks and um ride your bike with helmets and train safety and and all that kind of stuff. So that that is always an ongoing conversation I know you have with the the village and and the safety aspect of it. So appreciate that. >> Yeah, if I can just point out the inter agreement there was a cap on it which we realized was not didn't there it was just a discrepancy so we uh I know Dan you pointed that out. >> Yeah, it was it was spelled out numerically different from
043the written, >> right? Yeah. >> So that has been corrected. >> Yes. >> And the village did confirm for us it was the 30,000 not 35,000 that have been in that IGA, right? One was written, one was a number. That clarifies that. >> Okay. >> And the first avenue crossing guards, those are the high the high school over. >> Those are shared. Those are the third a third a third gap. That's yeah. >> Any other questions, comments on this before I move on? >> No. Okay. So, the next one is intergovernmental agreement between the village of Riverside and Riverside Riverside School District 96 regarding improvements to the BL park tennis courts. And this one is just being discontinued. Um, did we actually do the terminate? Have we triggered the >> we have here is a
044letter signed by Jessica Francis and myself just saying like as we've reviewed this this is no longer needed because just plans and direction changed. >> Yeah. Okay. Um and the plans and direction changed because we were going to restripe the tennis court and now they are completely rebuilding a different thing there. So this is just no longer needed with the update with the playground and the park. All right. And then that moves us into new business. Uh we have an upcoming request for a transfer of $1,276,000 from the education fund to the capital projects fund. And this is related to our security um just security project that we have going on assessing and updating upgrading our security features in our buildings. Um anything else that you would like to add on that? We've talked about
045this a couple different times. So I assume this will probably come to what next meeting, next regular meeting. Any questions or comments from anyone at the table on this one? >> Anybody has any questions marks here also? So, but >> okay. We had a pretty light agenda today as uh I don't know if it's always this light at the beginning of school, but I'm sure it won't be this this way for the rest of the school year. That's it for our business topics tonight is so I'm not seeing anyone else in the audience. So I'm guessing there's no more public comment. So our future meeting dates will be actually October Yeah. October 8th. We confirm that. Yes. >> Yes. Okay. >> Yeah. I had we both listed them both, but I think literally been getting
046some confirmation today that we would have a forum for October 8th. >> Okay. So October 8th um Yam Kapoor is on October 1st, so we just moved that and Riverside TV was able to join us. So that will be recorded by them. So thank you. Uh October 15th is a regular bit I'm sorry that's a committee of the whole meeting that will be at 7 pm in the multi-purpose room at Hollywood followed by October 15th regular business meeting 7 p.m. here in the hower learning resource center November 5th committee of the whole 700 p.m. multi-purpose room over at Ames School. November 19th, regular business meeting here in the Hower Learning Resource Center. Looks like we have our fall play that night as a reminder to all of us. >> And and I'll make a note
047there. Um Hower is by design wanting to do an extra evening presentation and to have one less um presentation during the day really in an effort to sort of preserve as much instructional time for the students as possible. And the only night they could find is the same night as the board meeting. And so if you're all comfortable with it, we would just meet at that um what do we say there at 6? Oh, the >> what is it here? Yeah. Right. >> 7. But if we if we need a close session at 6:15, so it didn't change our timing. And we're going to be in here, >> right? The play moved to earlier. The play moved to 5:30. Yeah. >> Okay. >> So they'll do two at a more traditional I think 7:00 time
048and then they'll do one at 5:30. So that >> Oh, they're doing a double show that night. Okay. Okay. And then December 3rd, community the whole 7 p.m. library at uh BL Park School. And then December 17th, regular business meeting, 7 p.m. here in the Hower Learning Resource Center. That brings us to the end of the year, I think, doesn't it? >> Well, it makes the calendar fly by really quick when I read it like that. >> Um, nothing else for tonight and this meeting is adjourned.
