001an Johnson Al AJ Kash are there any public comments this evening no public comment uh we do have an executive session for the purpose of discussing Safety and Security uh so we will go to another location and if you can just hang tight we will be back's e e e [Music] oh I I think we're okay to go in order guys talk fast yeah exactly okay all right so we'll just start with the informational items yep uh next we have our summer projects our final update uh as we conclude and have started school all the projects have gone for the most part uh pretty good uh we have some pictures of some final products that we'd like to share with you guys uh up first you have Oak Park in Rollins playground that is the
002finished product um with that at least one uh playground at all of our elementary schools now have that nice pour in play so from safety to maintenance to every aspect of it that was definitely a great investment by the school district so happy to report that those are completed uh next we have the Allen window project uh that went uh very good this year one of the more seamless projects there's a couple pictures right there of the finished product from inside and out uh they did do that window envelope for the whole uh West part of the building so that project is completed and turned over to us as well uh Waldo one of the nicer ones that we've had uh done the MPR was painted uh refreshed as well as the lights replaced they
003had the floor done as well as the uh the stripes redone there so that came out very well uh the gym we still have a portion of that that's going to be completed over winter break which is going to be the floor replacement and the bleacher replacement so that's technically won't be uh completed but they did do the railing replacement uh as well as painted so that looks it just looks like a complete entire new space so we're very happy to share that and report back to you guys next we have the cow herd Mechanicals the last major building excluding the high school that is due for a HVAC upgrade um there's some pictures there of the new systems as well as in the library there was a portion of the ceiling that kind of
004hung down so we were able to get that replaced and some nice 2 by two tiles up there and they added a 2 by two throughout the hallway there as you can see in the lower pictures so that came out very nicely and I'm happy to report that we have now over the past 5 years 19 buildings with newer upgraded HVAC so the district has definitely uh come a long way and and used those Esther dollars pretty good3 22 23 yep if we're counting doire or [Music] not uh next is the was the Dietrich envelope we uh had some ement there the goal for the district is to get do as much batement as possible to get all the espesas out of these buildings so we had an envelope over there where they did ceiling
005abatement and they were able to put in a new 2x two grid throughout the middle portion and Eastern portion of Dietrick so that came out well and that uh project is also completed are there any questions on any of the summer updates any questions no all right uh next we have a update on the CTC cigan is still uh working on doing their part with the engineering and designing um for that we wanted to update that that traffic study is starting tomorrow for that area and they're going to essentially come out put their cameras do a count of cars um everything like that so that'll help us out for determining lanes and what we need to do there uh also in regards to the CTC we received uh the train equipment um this will be
006an uh item going for action and motion for tonight uh the process of getting the uh purchasing the train equipment was through a co-op for the Mechanicals the rooftop units as well as the building automated system um a portion of why we were able to pre-order it now was to allow us to use the Esser funds that we had sitting so that helped us out um currently what they came back with uh was a price of four just over a little bit over $4.1 million for all of that um so that was a proposal submitted from train that's in your packet as well as all the information uh that will be in order to get the equipment in that will be uh to use the estra dollars there that will be for motion tonight as
007well uh also to the CT train uh the training equipment where are we at with uh East High's projects is are we so kind of planning these out and are we going to be ready to do this this summer yes we should be and I can turn it over to Rich I do believe um we're going to be going out to bid soon but I'll let Rich speak on okay okay great all right and then also pertaining to the CTC uh we have some equipment that we're able to purchase right now uh that I'm gonna turn over to Mr ASA Gordon to speak on even so the district received received a state grant called The Met which is an abbreviation for the manufacturing engineering technology and trades um so that particular Grant um is a
008three-year Grant um last year was our first year and what it allowed us to do is to um start to build our different Pathways our career Pathways that we believe we will have at the new Career Technical Center stem campus so what we are looking to do is to purchase through the grant um two particular items one of the items would be a desktop meal desktop meal um sits on maybe a it could be sit on a platform like this um it's a very nice introductory tool that students who get go into an in introductory manufacturing class could end up utilizing this reached out to a couple of districts and they say that when they use this desktop Mail they'll have students create um like dog Texs one District actually has their students in their
009manufacturing class create dog Tex for the RC which is a great option for our students um so one of them would be the desktop meal um and then the second one which is a little bit larger is our La machine no not a woodmill yes I hear you I'm with you I'm with you now our desktop meal um this is made specifically for community colleges and high schools so this is the larger um machine um but this is also um standard for um education institutions that have a manufacturing um this is the larger of the two um and so that's why we wanted to kind of let this committee know um so that we can get approval to go ahead and purchase it using the state Grant dollars and we're 100% covering the cost of
010these at 100% for the grant that we have and we'll continue to use that it's only to be used for these pathway correct products okay thank you no problem all right and that will be going for motion tonight as well yeah okay are there any questions no no okay uh next we have a memo before you for a purchase for additional cell phone lockers uh all the classrooms in the high school as well as all high school grade levels do have the cell phone lockers um we just found a need that we needed more there were some smaller spaces or um Encore rooms that uh weren't accounted for so with this final purchase uh would wrap up everything that we need to cover in the district of where we said we would provide the cell
011phone lockers uh this is through the Omnia Co-op that we uh did before as well um with that that would be uh to expedite ordering them that would go for motion tonight as well are there any questions on that no next I'm very happy to report for uh you have a memo before you for our grounds keeper floater seci IU memorandum of understanding um the district has worked research and collaborated very closely with seiu73 leadership to implement the proposed mou um our goal is to implement these position upgrade current ones and Implement uh new full-time Union positions uh that would help uh support our grounds Division and be able to take care of everything that we need to inhouse with the current staff that we have so that will be something for motion for tonight
012as well as we'd like to move on those to get those positions filled ASAP okay are there any questions on that no that's great next we had a couple incidents that we just wanted to update the board on uh first for cow herd Middle School we had a incident that we pre previously reported where the building had took some water damage um there were some concerns in some areas and contractors eff Moran and Troop uh they took mitigation steps uh everything was approved and cleared by our Environmental Group temm uh once teachers did return to work they had discovered some damaged material and possible mold in some areas that were locked or not accessible after those concerns were reported to us uh we got with the architect the contractor and temm again uh mitigation was
013done where they cleaned the classrooms wiped everything down and they placed air scrubbers uh we left the equipment in and tested every day until tem came back and reported that the uh remedy was good and they returned those rooms back over to us and then we returned them back over to into the building so was a little hiccup to start the year with cow herd but I'm happy to report those rooms are all in use and good to go over there uh the second one that we wanted to update you guys out on uh was over at Bardwell during the first week of school there was an incident where a bat was noticed uh we took precautions and did close down school that day and then the next week uh there were a couple more
014sightings we did call our uh ex exterminator specialist out whatever you want to call him um and they there was luckily no infestation that was reported he spent several hours walking through every corner of that building the attic space and there was some parts of Bardwell that I didn't even know existed until a couple weeks ago um so with that uh we were lucky that there was no kind of infestation and during the week of August 27th through the 30th we were able to have the company come out and completely mitigate the entire area so what they did is they sealed and put these things called Bat cones essentially on corners of the building where it's a one-way out so allow all the bats to exit and then they came came back actually on that
015holiday that Monday removed the cones and sealed up so I mean knock on wood as of right now we haven't seen anything but we do believe the um remediation did help with what they did over there so I just want to take this opportunity to say kudos to our uh operations team who worked collectively together to uh really uh be fearless and I truly mean Fearless because um Nick who's here he single-handedly removed two from the inside of the building so we were going to make him wear his Batman outfit tonight um but uh he did not but I just want to say that took bravery you know when we had students in the building that they were not afraid to to do the right thing and to get that you know to mitigate that
016um safety issue so I just want to publicly say thank you your team did great thank you yep are there any more questions on cow her or Bardwell they are uh next we should have our work order summary and actually after that we have uh two resolutions for disposal of personal property one for some old um sped furniture and Kinder furniture and as well as another one for some old technology are there any questions on either of those objections no objections and that should conclude our report anything else from the committee okay all right we're Jed at 644 thank you
