001this conference will now be recorded I'll call the meeting to order chair Mike Mike Ziggler trusty Joel Basta oh GES trusty Frank SI truste Steph TR superintendent and online J Jay failen trusty I think Mr Stein Bron could be to join us too so okay jump in a little bit all right uh any public comment appear here so be hard the emergency meeting yeah takes us to action items a declare emergency to hold a meeting without adequate notice all right so unfortunately we have practice at this it looks very similar to one about almost a year ago when we were doing this with Washington Middle School um but first thing is we just need a motion in a second to and you know a vote to basically and this one's just a formality um most
002of this is formalities tonight just to get the ball rolling but because this is less than the 48 Hours um we have to make sure that we meet the guidelines in order to do that which which we do and so the first step is just to to do exactly what a says and then um then we'll look at the next one which is authorizing so so we need a motion to you want to so maybe so here's what's hard so maybe we need to tell what's going on first and then we can go through that can you guys hear me yep yep Mr steon we can hear you you can hear us yeah that' probably be the thing to do okay so uh as you can remember since um beginning beginning of school year football
003season we start having more and more problems in the locker rooms um and just been dealing with them and trying to fix and patch and snake um snake and snake and snake and so finally about last Thursday couple days ago um you could start smelling it wasn't sewer wasn't sewer gas you could just start smelling what everybody said this poop and it kind of because I don't typically walk down into the gym or cafeteria I come in and go to my office and I could sort of smell it there so I thought it was the bathroom by my office so you know told the custard like don't know what's going on but clean that bathroom top and bottom inside out and they did that and you can still smell it and then people were starting
004to say you can you can smell it down by the cafeteria and then um so I'm like start looking around seeing if we can come up with anything and uh the hard part with all this stuff is just how how many different places it could be yeah and you know the way that the current travels in these buildings you know you can get uh yeah anyway so um so we were looking and then uh Wade Murphy told me that the girls in the locker room said that they could smell it really bad so it's like okay we since a lot of our problems were in the boys locker room we were kind of investigating that and once we heard that went over the girls locker room opened up the hatch and there was raw suage
005about that deep in the pipe tunnel um and so the pipe had completely uh just gone the analogy I like to say because it's all cast iron and um you know I also like to say that I disagree with the architect on this building looks nice and everything but none of the sewer pipes are in pipe tunnels or except for when they cross a pipe tunnel so otherwise they're adjacent to pipe tunnels either running parallel or um but none of the sewer lines are in the pipe tunnels and so so um good and bad news where the over by the girls locker room where the sewer line does cross the tunnel which is way at the bottom of the tunnel you just barely see a part of it it's like if you took a clay
006pot and dropped it and how they would just kind of break into chunks you know like that that's what that cast iron is doing it's just falling apart in pieces and that's there's a why right there two pipes came in and it just broke and fell apart um and so in that section of the tunnel we started looking more and um it's just all of that infrastructure which we've camera last fall when we started having the problems with camera all the way from the boys and girls locker room through the cafeteria and into actually we we camera it all the way down to where it goes out um at the bathroom by my office then it goes out to Marl Avenue so all pipe is shot it's just like it was in Washington and um
007it's all cast iron so there's parts of it where there's no bottom to the pipe and it's all pipe under slab on grade um and uh so anyway it's just now that um and we looked over on the boys side and that why is literally the pieces are hanging there but they haven't fallen over yet but it's just there's no tops of the pipes there's no there's cracks all around it um in the some of the pipe place like say it's underneath slab is just there's no bottom to the pipe so we I mean this is kind of the final straw that broke the candles back so to speak what we were worried about at the beginning of the school year but it finally kind of gave up the ghost which timing wise is better
008now than almost any other point in the school year because this is the least amount that the gymnasium is used or practically everything else so if we can get on it now and if we if we didn't I mean so this is an emergency I mean we have but we have to set down we have to set down the stuff right obviously you know knowing more after we after they did this you know we we saw that but last week we didn't really know exactly where um you know things were happening more information coming and so when me and Rett talked today we were like okay we got to go now this isn't something that you can um and the hard part is you know just like last time we did this there's not a
009whole lot of information that you guys are going to have at this point because there's a lot more investiga has to happen yeah but there is no you canot do this right so um you have you have a health situation you have a situation so on there you're going to see um there's the law that's up there the MCA is up there but it really just says emergency uh declaration is made pursuant to 23 322 to um and and is other and proed destruction or impairment of school district property that affects the health and safety of the trustees students or District employees or the educational functions of the district and it meets all of those um you know pieces where there's no way we were going to be able to unless you get going right
010now like even trying to get this thing done before school starts this next year is going to be difficult even with Brett saying this is the best time of here that this could possibly happen um but the thing is is like this needs to be taken care of and what is this going to look like and then there's got to be plans being figured out and I we got to move um very quickly so that's kind of where we're at which is why we were like we cannot wait which is why we had to do this tonight um you know because we got to get R talking to people um figuring out we don't even have an idea of what this thing looks like cwise so what's what's the next step for a solution well
011I've got that direction I've got a couple ideas but I've got to flush them out no sorry um I mean if we were to is I I don't even know if you can line those no because there's did you just have too much variation in gr well there's to I mean there is so many 90s which are a double 45 TI vents well you know they could go in L core and then go back the other direction but you were yeah well and so I mean and even like that I mean yeah and I guess maybe for the record we have looked and thought about that I've looked at um lining um looked at uh pipe bursting looked at I mean and like I said I've got a couple ideas but I got to flush
012them out first but uh you can't do that every time if you line a pipe every connection you have so if you have a vent coming off or a sink coming off or a toilet coming off or you turn and go around this corner every one of those you can only line in a straight line um or you can do some turns but it's going to be 100% Sol so every connection you have which to know how many connections we have because it's back when they built these schools in the 50s and 60s they put syns in almost every classroom and so there are a ton of connections and you would have to technically if you went that route you would have to pop hole at every place that you have a connection and remake
013that connection and the other difficulty is by the time that sewer line gets out by my office it's 10 feet deep under the slab so 10 wreaking feet down to try to dig and where are you going to put that material what are you going to put back in it doesn't go down the main hallway in the long one that 10 foot's going to help you this far as a solution if you got to come in find a solution if you got 10 foot to work with well I mean I don't think we do because when you start at grade at that end of the building this far under the slab they could have probably come up or and if you have to come back in and put something else in you can come up
014well I'm my main idea is redirecting the flow and going to Kendrick and then that way we don't have to go out into marijana and there's a couple ways of doing that but um but Kendrick lion get goes out right kind of in the center right um or no Kendrick going out that yep and there's I think it go it stops and it turns goes down hour MH so there is a manhole right there at that intersection in front of the auditorium so uh we can hit anywhere we can either hit that manhole or we can hit anywhere south of it and tie into it so um that's you know like I say one optional order because if we follow the because if we follow the existing pipe like I say it doesn't go through
015the hallways it goes through classrooms and every wall every partition going underneath every single one of those and you're taking out concrete they're as best as mastic and as best as tile and so this is going to need to be wherever we end up cutting and digging into it's uh an ement project too I mean it could be if we followed the pipe it would be 20,000 square foot that's just a rough number off top my head but of flooring it would have to be evaded and then replaced fling back in on top after you evaded it so it's uh kind of that's probably realistically going to happen though before too long because I mean the rest of it isn't any better right no um but the thing that it comes down to is uh
016the cost and the time yeah I mean if we were to do it right yeah all this so so this bathroom here right across from cafeteria is that affected y well it's yeah it's part the same but it's not going to be shut down right away right away well it doesn't need to be shut down for the Emergency because it's uh Downstream of the pro the problem the locker rooms right now but in order to fix it we're going to have to go through the public restrooms so right now they're they're usable but once we go to do theair we'll have to take them out of service we do that so the immediate problem is just the locker rooms the immediate immediate problem is about 5 to 10 feet north of the public restrooms and
017then the whole way up and so you're at the public restrooms but you're right now you're just public restrooms are just this far south of our problem meaning they're still working the pipes are in bad shape actually the well I kind of take that back because the boys locker room ties in the boys locker room comes across uh this side of the kitchen wall in the cafeteria you don't happen to have a map or something uh well one of the things we for this like because it's so new it's emergency like one of the things we have to do is start putting this thing together so he's got to figure out this kind of stuff and the plan I have to figure out funding to give you guys at the April board meeting right so
018labor board meeting we're going to have a lot more information as to what this thing looks like that's the hard part about when we're just figuring out stuff like we don't have a whole lot of information to give to you guys that's the downside we're doing it this way but when you realize it's an emergency you have to declare an emergency basically everything now goes to Merill well the north end of the building goes to Merill um right behind the public restrooms everything else goes south and then out the Kendrick out the uh Kendrick doors um and out into Kendrick up next to SL does that thing go down to that pump station over by the pool yeah yeah everything hits that pump station there and then goes up actually dumps into the force man
019from there then hits the forest main does mer also dump into that or is it yeah it all it doesn't jump into the force there's a line that runs there too but everything here dumps into the for dumps into the station that's across from Subway yeah okay so that list station there and then the next one's up at Colorado and uh Mar so by potentially redirecting this are we going to have a capacity issue or we're not affecting things that much are we no actually it theoretically would work pretty well because it would TI the C and then it go right down Allard and then it's just another uh block till it's the Lo station so to may actually work better and then yeah anything that works will be better yeah that's that's true anything
020that isn't a 100 years old is going to be better so by potentially coming out and bringing everything to Kendrick does that give us some flexibility since we're the grades dictated by Merill and the out the 10 foot depth that's going to be deeper over here than it is over here so yeah well again I don't want to it's hard it's hard but well let me just say this going to kendri would not be uh grade would not be as much of an issue going to Kendrick okay the way I'm thinking we have everything to play with in in which case our replacement would not have to uh definitely wouldn't have to be as deep we can keep it t up to the bottom side of the uh slab as much as possible and everything
021would be pretty I don't even think we'd have might have a little bit of orange but probably a lot of 6 inch 6 inch you can even can easily do 8 inch per foot instead of quarter inch you can actually I think even possibly do 16th inch per foot but yeah that's where would you hit it at just basically straight out from the locker rooms basically well between um we're getting more and more into my plan here rudimentary plan this one that he just yeah that's why it's hard to I've got like I say option A being almost option C they're all three different but the option A would be to and put a little bit more of the pipe in the tunnel CU also we're going to be get the the steam heating ra
022the are not the same purpose as they used to be are they purposeless uh no I mean there's still the a lot because with with even the pot of water you have cold water hot water hot water and you have three each pipe so those take up quite a bit of the the pipe tunnel and then the steam lines take up T pip tunnel steam lines could go and we can repurpose that with if we have to come through with the sewer line but basically my thought is we get it to the basement under the kitchen and then grinder pump and then we can basically that's a a mini Forest Main and we can go wherever we want and with that we can poot hole in the parking lot and poth hole on top of
023the main and directional board and pop it right in we don't have to open cut all that um it saves on sidewalk asphalt curb gutter concrete Landscaping um everything you can just punch a hole punch a hole and tie it in and and and again so then grade wise we're not having to I kind of just put a rough tape mejor on it we're like lengthwise from the locker rooms to this wall is like 250 Ft worth of pip um or more 250 to 300 ft so that's why it's and I'm sure they put it at a quarter inch per foot so uh but this way we're cutting that down to only needing like 75 ft per run and if we can do um 8 inch per foot we've got all the room in the
024W to play with to get to the basement under the kitchen and then grinder and pump it out krick's probably already lower than Merill isn't it at that point it starts diving off pretty pretty quick but that that manhole that's there no actually where that intersection is it's flat it drops down where the Crick is so and otherwise oh yeah know actually that that manhole go down noward or does it come around it goes down okay so yeah either way we've got plenty of room to play with you got room there you got room you're in a good spot for that that's what benefit to being that close to a lift station yep and like I say we don't have to mess with Mar cost just go up and [Music] up but all of these
025will have a much better answer for you the actual big thing is declaring the emergency allowing us to start moving on this step you know making sure that we can start getting this stuff in order um getting that approval and then we'll have information there about more of a better plan but then also how the heck are we gonna try a paper this too but you don't you know without knowing a little bit more on costs and stuff that's that's hard the only benefit that we have right now is we're talking about the high school instead of Elementary right now so we're talking about another you know District because there's no way if we were taking this hit in elementary we would be I mean there's no way we could even be I don't know
026what we would do to be honest with you um this one's going to be hard too but it's we at least have options like that goes all the way back down it doesn't cross at all there well that's what I was thinking yeah it doesn't it goes all the way back down man at the intersection then it runs South and then it goes down slum and then it comes down me and the station uh it goes all the way down to town all right that part yeah something wasn't sound right so I'm looking it up you anyway it it it doesn't matter because we'd be for maning it pumping it into it so whatever elevation at as long as it's there I'll move to declare an emergency a second oh the first one is the
027or hold the meeting without adequate notice sorry my bad yeah I'll move to decare this emergency so we can have this meeting notice I'll second it it's been moved and seconded any further discussion or comment not all in favor say I I any opposed motion carries that takes us to action item B declare emergency for purposes of authorizing the repairs of dchs sewer so moved seconded it's been moved and seconded any further comments or discussion if not all in favor say I any opposed motion carries that's all we have today to got your phone on you look what I just sent you you're welcome welcome to the 21st century the C Glend di oh the gis is up and running GIS is up and running it's an app on your phone too so now you
028can click on it and it'll give you every everything you want to know course I got download now no you don't just click on it you don't need an app I sent you a link to the thing H oh yeah no I yeah
