001uh called order Kara Caston Ken Dawson here Christopher Espinoza here shirelle Fuller Jenny hagstrom here Terry pavisich here Don Runner here and John hunchy here thank you I have a quorum uh let's uh stand for the Pledge of Allegiance good evening um moving to item number three on the agenda can I get a motion for approval of the minutes for the May 15 2023 business meeting the May 15 2023 organizational meeting business meeting the May 15 2023 closed meeting in the June 5th 2023 closed meeting so moved second Chris first and Jenny second thank you Chris respinoza aye Jenny hagstrom aye Terry pavisich aye Caston aye Ken Dawson aye Cheryl Fuller aye and Don Renner aye motion carries Julie uh item number four reception of visitors we have any public comments okay seeing none move

002on uh before we do that I have a quick recognition because this is Mark's final board meeting oh my God 29 years of board meetings he's seen wow [Laughter] so uh opportunity for me publicly we've had lots of celebrations of Mark this spring probably not enough to celebrate all that he's done for the district and for the profession one of the things that I like to let people know is that I first learned of Mark and his work in the late 90s when pitel the tax caps came about and I was a graduate student trying to understand them and there was all of this information and Mark's name was all over it explaining how to work inside of it and how a district should be structured inside of it and then after that he continued

003to update everybody on CPI and Trends and how that was all working so long before I even knew of District 99 I knew of Mark so Mark has been amazing for District 99 leading us through multiple building projects multiple teacher and support staff contracts all of the waves of State funding when it was going to come if it was going to come over all of those years making sure that District 99 was strong fiscally in so many ways over so many years so mark thank you for all you've done for the district thank you [Applause] also retiring in a couple of weeks is Rod Rousseau he's not with us this evening he's probably playing in a Municipal Band somewhere his evening schedules are very full but Rod's been with us I think 27 years 27

004years I'm sorry 27 years so and he led us through all of the changes that happened with technology and internet and Chromebooks and all of that and you can blame rod for me being here because it was a lot of collaboration between District 207 where I was before in District 99 as Google showed up in Chromebooks and whatever that really helped me understand what district 99 was all about and made me interested in the district so blame Rod when you see him but he is also fabulous within our district but within the profession as well is highly regarded as one of the experts in cyber security in the school setting in the entire country so so we've been lucky to have him for all these years and he will be missed as well [Applause] all

005right um through my slides here all right superintendent's reports the first one is progress on the 299 construction project and Jim's going to walk you through a few things here thank you good evening everyone we're moving uh we're doing great out there uh per customer is uh has scheduled at this point um the house and you'll see in the pictures at the end um is is gone so we have a big area that for our parking lot uh in construction workers nikor gas Commonwealth Ed the neighbors it has been very smooth and I'm happy to report that knock on wood you know um but we're doing great and the structure's up now we can start working inside and start working on the parking lot so things are going well so we're on time change orders

006have been minimal we had some soil contamination we took care of that it was not a huge amount of money it could have been worse now that we are putting the new construction up I feel much better with change orders because usually with new construction it's very small when you're getting into spaces that you're Building compared to going into spaces that you don't know what you're going to get into so uh change orders have been minimal we also had a hiccup with the asbestos in the home that's why the home didn't go down at the scheduled time it was a couple weeks afterwards we found some in the attic and in the basement we had to Abate that and then get a 10-day clearance so we finally brought that down oh about a week and

007a half ago so uh all went well it was a few hundred bucks for the removal uh could have been a lot worse uh budget we're slightly under uh We've purchased many of the FF and E items which are kind of the last things that we're ordering and all that's on order now we have a few miscellaneous things but uh that was the one that you don't know how much more we're going to need in the rooms and the big spaces but Furniture pricing came in good we used a lot of State pricing uh contracts for that so we're good on budget at this point completion we are on target we want to complete by the beginning of August and get those kids and staff in there and start the fall semester so A lot's

008going to happen in the next two months so if you get a chance drive by there and see all the activity and see the changes each week so many things changed in just a few days so we can go to the pictures and compliments of me using the uh white white and Company drone I figured why not get some aerial I don't know if anyone here in here has used the Drone and took pictures is really cool I learned a lot but this is the structure looking southbound as you can see the walls and roof are up and the front uh entrance way so it looks pretty big I was telling Hank when we first sat down here tonight got those pictures you it's 5 000 square feet but it certainly looks like it's bigger

009because the original structures 10 000 square feet but I think it's the overhang and all that so it's roughly over five thousand but it looks good and it looks big and as you can see the parking lot is already molding into bringing Stone in and we'll start working on that and pavers and July just a different angle looking eastbound again don't realize how big that Plata land is next one for the lot there's a structure looking westbound the overhang entryway which the turnaround there where the drop-off is and to the right of that will be the sign for 299 and then the parking lot for 60 plus parking spots getting all the stuff inside once you get a roof over it now you can start working inside because the weather won't be an issue so

010I'm glad to get that going and then the last one is all the plumbing work getting it all down and we actually poured last Thursday and Friday so there is the cement floor so like I said we're moving we're doing great and the weather's been fantastic dry and moving right along questions on t99 how have relations been with neighbors uh any complaints any concerns about noise actually the complete opposite uh I always knew that the neighbor to the north of the property uh didn't come to the neighborhood meeting and we didn't get a lot of feedback from him and her but she's been fantastic she's been I've talked to her a few times and she's just excited she is glad that the house is gone and looking forward to having the parking lot so uh

011and then the person that's on the West Side haven't seen him he's got a little business he's kind of out of the way so all in all it's been great and omega's also helped us with a little bit of parking here as we needed it through the end of the school year because we started this remember we're on spring break or a little before will there be any Landscaping added on the north side of the parking lot to break up the transition from the parking lot to the to the neighbors lot it'll also be the fence putting in that we're paying for the Landscaping is really around the sign and on the building North Side so that's kind of Village you know they they want you to do that so we probably have more than

012what I would want but it'll look good Jim has a couple other items here uh first one is bulge bulk purchasing supplies so many years ago I decided to not have the schools directly purchase supplies for their buildings because you get just overpriced and many vendors and different products so I Consolidated all that and bulk purchased everything and throughout the years we've really grown we went from custodial supplies we went to ground supplies Salt fertilizer and now we've even added filters and we're using Merv 8 Murph 7 so we're still trying to keep our air quality as clean as we can so the filters are a little more expensive but the quality of filtration in our air handling system is Advanced to what we've had in the past so I think the program has worked

013we have many people that are interested in putting in bids each year and they wait for this time of year which is nice when they kind of leave you alone the rest of your if you need the product they hold that price if we need more of a certain product they keep that price for a year so that's nice so we had uh specifications put out and it's a huge list we had 18 vendors submit those are the low prices for the vendors and we received the bids and we feel that the lowest prices meet our requirements so we had to check through each one so tonight we have to order to prove ward of contracts for the custodial maintenance grounds to those vendors and the accurate amount of 209 764.31 cents questions are they

014mostly vendors they are brand new ones some are new the filter ones a couple are new uh the ninja the icer is a new one they came in uh good on a couple of our calcium chloride salt so because those are expensive to do on sidewalks uh but the other ones are pretty familiar in each year uh usually win something on the bed anything else for Jim on this one all right Jim has the next one it's the one everybody looks forward to every year copy paper this is so exciting I could talk all all night on please don't worry school we get uh a list of what they have in stock if uh the last couple of years we depleted a lot of our stock that was in our garages in our buildings so

015uh the last couple of years we did not spend as much this year we need to replenish so it's a little higher but hold that note because last year I went to the state bin because the pricing from our bid that we put out was higher than the state pricing this year it's complete opposite so we really had an aggressive uh bidding and we have vendors that are going lower than State pricing so this year again we're doing recycled paper we had five bidders familiar with them all uh four of them came in with low bids for white and colored paper so we segregated in and gave the low bid to the color paper to specific vendors so all in all they meet our requirements a little more than last year but again we're replenishing

016and still under our estimate of what we thought the budget would be uh so tonight we're asking board proof awarded contract to those four vendors for lowest bid meaning our specs for copy paper in the aggregate amount eighty four thousand nine hundred eleven dollars and eight cents questions on paper I I will recognize Jim's work on this most school districts would just take the state bid and wouldn't do the work to get the lower amount but Jim does the work thank you Jim thank you all right Turf and track replacement at North and South High I think Drury and Jim might be teaming up on this one sure so last November when I presented capital projects for this year and the summer summers work we had a slide up that kind of pre-told you there

017are Turf and track replacement is in need and we need to do that within the next couple of years uh we built them in 2011. normally the lifespan for re-skinning a turf field is eight to ten years uh we we got beyond that and I think that has a lot to do with the maintenance that we do every year every summer and even sometimes uh late fall or in spring to do repairs and infill and keep them uh well maintained so I think that gave us a lifespan of a little longer we're looking at doing this next summer so that would be 24 that's 13 years not many schools could say that they had their fields last that long same with the tracks because usually when you do the track and the field you do

018it at the same time I got an estimate from the companies and this would be a state bed as well because the renowned companies that do this work for most of the high schools colleges in the area uh usually win that bed so doing both schools at the same time will save us some money as well we thought the total estimated cost would be much more than 2 million we're at 2 million maybe a little under uh so we we're thinking that next summer we're going to do this work for both schools they'll be down for a couple months want to hand it over to Cherry to talk about how we will finance this mind that we're talking about it in summer if we wait you know another few months we probably would not get

019on the schedule for next summer they booked very early yeah so since this is just the beginning stages of this we're going to spend the next few months evaluating the financing options that we will be looking at we anticipate that we're going to finance the project through maybe debt certificates or alternate revenue bonds and we'll just make those payments out of our operating fund so this would not go against the levy at all would just be on our part of our payments with our annual budget we plan to bring back some recommendations probably early spring well before the project starts Jim could you talk about the surface of the north track versus the south track because from what I was reading the surface of the north track may have some undulations or it's not necessarily

020even can you talk about that and that was back in the day when North was the marsh the you know where the bleachers we had a lot of problems when we put the um the stadium bleachers rooms uh with the soil and part part of that was it was so soft uh we had to reinforce all the structures and go really deep I think it was like 30 feet we had to go down so that side of that would be the West Side those last couple Lanes will need some reinforcement so there'll be a little bit of work done we could finally resolve that problem because the settlement now is much better at North all the way back to the garage towards Ogden Avenue so that's what that would be for we need to make

021that repair because what we're seeing is if we don't do that and reinforce it then after four or five six years you're seeing that like a wave almost being you know hot and cold brings that out so there are plans within the scope to to address those issues yes okay great and the turf we're talking about just The Stadium turf because the the turf fields are pretty brand new from the master facility plan absolutely and really we've got our wear and tear uh you know we're going to get some repairs done this summer but these fields are ready to be done uh unfortunately you have to do it in the summer there's no other time really to do it and as to reset and they schedule out a good year in advance so we're bringing

022this to you now because we need to get on their schedule for next summer otherwise we'll miss that timeline um so both Fields you know in zones and in some parts you know if we fix the rips we add the infill we do the best we can but they're in need they're not unsafe but they're ready we'll get one year out of it but we could can't go past next year how's the technology of the field improved since we did this I would imagine pretty significant different fibers will have a lot of um you know some athletic directors like soft grass so I'm like a little harder playing field some would get higher the four inch three inch depending number infill so I remember doing both of them and the south side of town wanted

023a little softer and they went a little harder and we'll we'll let the schools chime in and see what you know what they would want to do with the athletic director's call who does that or I'm involved in that as well um but it's partly them and coaches that are on the field not just with football but soccer and PE as well because you know one team's on it pe's on her all the time soccer's there's so many different you know lacrosse there's so many teams on it we kind of get all that input and then make a decision from there are there some turfs out there now that are deemed safer than others or higher quality you know you you kind of pick your poison from my perspective the softer ones twist ankles more

024the harder ones then you get different knee injuries so there's nothing out there that this is the most safe field it's more of the the quality of blend of grass and how much infill you want to put in to make it faster or slower or higher or lower I don't think that anyone in the area or even College Pro level would say this is safer for injury hope I answered that there's really otherwise everyone would be doing that that yeah got it is the Trap surface the same yes it's going to be the same as it is now the only thing that changes our color and handoffs for relays and all those tick marks that you you know want to put in there and how far do you want to go with that but it's

025it's really the color what color do you want in track you know are you guaranteeing faster times on the track two tenths on 100 meter easy we're gonna have two seniors by the time this track [Laughter] so during the course of uh construction have we thought about what the athletes are going to be doing as far as where they will be going to get their workouts in or whatever that's a very good question we haven't gone to that level yet of how we're gonna having other fields helps to displace students in camps because that's going to be the Major Impact is the camps so we'll have alternate areas and we have an off-site I don't know we haven't talked through that uh possibly using other fields thank God we have so many fields now that

026we can use but we haven't had that discussion yet on how or where we're going to put everyone we could definitely though limit our ability for the community to use our fields and those kinds of things over the course of next summer because we're going to have to use all of our spaces for our programming problems so it could start like after graduation and be finished by the first football game basically oh yeah as long as we're not doing underneath water that's where it gets to be just re-skinning is actually a pretty quick and I've seen them do complete tracks in a couple weeks few weeks they just come they hit it they go the next guys come they paint it then they line it and they're gone they're really good yes um with the

027turf replacement also include I know at North we have the West Field would it include that field too and like the field it would not okay it's the main competition field s and I believe that Westfield that turf field was I could be wrong but three or four years afterwards I think so yeah so that would probably be due up in the next two three years and it's not used as much right it's not used as much as the competition feels so any other questions on this one we do have new Personnel gentlemen's going to be joining July 1st I would I would imagine that he's going to have input on this project as well absolutely okay Dr McGuire okay thank you yep all right uh that is an action item this evening as well

028are you are you keeping are you still going on your stuff or no oh I just wondered where we're at on the pool scoreboards oh I can give that quick update they're ordered uh okay we're going to have them installed this summer I've July 23rd so both schools brand new scoreboards they will be ready to go a little nervous about some of the other things going on with the polls right now but as everyone in this room knows and everyone out there knows they are very hard to maintain to keep up and every time you turn around it's something else it's it's difficult but the scoreboards are go I've got nothing back and I ordered so early that they may get them early and and wait to install and keep them at their shop because

029my greatest fear is if we order I don't want them coming in mid mid August no I want them coming in mid July so we're running a Target okay do you know who you ordered them from Colorado Colorado exactly the same okay thank you you're welcome all right any other questions for Jim all right uh the next one I believe is Therese your Chartwell CEO came to visit both of the high schools and see the operations and she was really impressed with both schools however it when she was at South High School she took a look at the servery and commented that it seemed to be a little outdated Compared to North and at the time she said well maybe Chartwells could offer to invest in some equipment if we decide to update the servery

030so this past year we spent some time coming up with different ideas on how we might update it um and at the same time we have equipment there that's it plus yeah so it needs to be replaced it's it's really on its last leg so between the two things we came up with um a plan um and presented it to Chartwells and they have offered to purchase two pieces of equipment for South High School if we would consider agreeing to a two-year extension on our current agreement um I think it's a great opportunity for us they've provided a really great partnership with the school so something that we all recommend on this year our sales were up by quite a bit right we should receive well it's over a hundred thousand dollars in Revenue from

031them [Music] wonderful yeah coffee bar so typically we would just Renew on a one-year basis well currently the contract goes through um we have two more years on it okay and so they're just asking if we would consider them too on to the existing contract term correct okay two more years [Music] and satisfaction from students is still high with Chartwells yes you don't see any reason to reconsider changing vendors at this point yeah also they provide opportunities for our special needs students which is really super when Scott do you want to speak on that at all well I mean yeah they they have um our multi-needs program works in the kitchen and and at the schools and so it's a great opportunity for them to get experience and actually be working and learning skills and

032they created some videos I think we've probably shared them out already a while back the videos were amazing just to Showcase what they're doing so I give credit to the buildings and the staff and the students so it's been great yeah Chartwells has been an excellent partner very Innovative so yeah the questions on this one all right this is an action item later this evening property and liability insurance renewals yeah I'll start that actually there's heavily worded uh memo that goes along with this that for you to look at the history of what we how we've handled it here and it's hopefully written more plain than some of the things we have to go through and no offense but to the attorneys that put together the the increases for us um there's really four key

033things in that memo that I want to point out in case you didn't already know District 58 and 99 once had the comet Administration and they're put together and still there's still a lot of things that we do together so that makes sense and one is we joined together to to send out quotes for insurance and what that helps with is it gets us more people bigger firms to come in and look at it and it gives the the insurance companies more areas where they can balance out their risks again and so it's a really useful tool for us and we've been very successful with it right now insurance is in topsy-turvy everything is a bit heavier because of the problems we've had with property in the with that are really different areas of the

034country I've had all kinds of problems and with high claims so this is where it really does help to have it so we bundle our stuff together we buy common property umbrellas things that we can do that make a lot of sense for them to again assess their risk in District 99 and 58 is one combined investment for them second point is workers comp is pretty clearly the big big feature here it's about 50 percent of the total cost it has active cost every year for us we have injuries every year but we handle them really well and our experience has gone down and which is good and we've been able to get the policy for that reduced actually this year by thirty six thousand dollars um just primarily because of the Ahmad that we

035it's that we are where they're assessing our risk level they're recessing it rather low because of us maintaining good um control over incidents that happen um third item to point out is Liberty Mutual if you look at we've got a lot of it with Liberty Mutual we've been using them for 25 years we've got a great history with them um when we come back and need to bring uh you know quotes in we need to get quotes on and renew our coverage they work with us very well they understand a school district very well what the what our limits are and by doing that again we have one carrier can now balance between individual policies the their risk and and they we get very good prices from them and the fourth item really just is

036the key thing for all of this there's the chart on the back we we are seeing at 8.8 increase in insurance we were expecting double digit even with our relationship but with them part of that is a good part of that is the workers comp that thirty six thousand dollars Savings in workers comp and their premium is a key thing that that's really the kind of Rights the whole um decision process for us on this so we're recommending that we accept the individuals and um and some of these proposals are not fixed they're like workers comp gets adjusted at the end of the year for actual payroll compared to what we had to do is estimate our payroll to get the to get a an estimate for their their charge for us and so overall

0378.8 percent we were really happy to to get to that point and we know it's higher than that CPI factor that I like to hold on to but I think it's one of those things this is really very good pricing for this market right now we had eight different companies come and look at workers comp so we do build you know we do spread it out we do have different Brokers tell us where they want to and what they where they would be to take them we have made changes in in the Brokers or the the companies in the past um but um that's this worked out well again it worked out well for us this year how do you derive the percentage that is split between 99 and 58. it depends on the like

038uh some of it is 50 50 like liability coverage is 50 50. but typically uh property is different between the two and um well that's just been kind of a writing figure and we probably have an undervalued property number that they're basing their claim on or their their uh their quotation on so we're gonna we agreed to have at the end of this next year an appraisal by a well-known firm Martian Linda I think it's they don't they know it I don't know their name better but Marsh is going to do a a inventory of all the land and everything the main main areas of the buildings and see it get us back into square one and I think what will happen is our property values will probably go up and I think our cross

039will go down I think they've been padding the cost rightfully so because we just put 136 million dollars worth of property out there yeah and our and our fee didn't go up to reflect that so I think we have some room in there we've been getting a very low price for for our building coverage so most anything it deals with payroll is work is is going to be that shift between the two of us for the like Vehicles it was done on actual vehicles for total Fleet costs and that's why you get some of these different numbers but most of most everything we can we try and keep it 15 balance between each School worker workers comp is based on claim history between the two districts or it is and they know the what are

040they also know our our employee core what how much where we are in different sections higher risk like custodial and maintenance have a higher risk tied to them so it goes down to the type of employee not just the number of employees to get to get their quote thanks thank you any other questions so are these all the companies that you're proposing how many different carriers is it it looks like there's a difference how many we have six of them all with Liberty Mutual and then below that we have one two three four five six different other firms um and that's where you will see changes between the carriers mostly and those smaller parts here workers comp is the one within cover that's new this year with encola and um I think it's I think

041it was near the show I'm looking at Jury I think last year yeah okay last year it was new to us that's a number the different vendors that accepted or gave us proposals that we accept all right any others all right uh that is an action item this evening as well the next one is actually Don's sure so um you know we pulled uh well I pulled the the board members to look to assign to various committees um Chris and I will end up taking the policy committee uh Ken is going to serve as the representative iasb um shirelle has stepped up and will take sassad um Jenny's going to stay with lend um Terry who is going to stay with the Education Foundation and Kara is going to join her and then this year

042the representatives of the planned commission is from d58 which we'll be voting on tonight but next year shirelle had indicated that she'd like to take that position so I've got her slated for that um I do I do think we wish we should look at this next year um and uh maybe give some individuals opportunities to join other committees just to kind of rotate and get everybody some experience in the various committees but for now let's let's stick with this for the upcoming 23 to 24 2024 fiscal year all right next one is mine end of your goal summary uh this is in the board packet it's the public and reviewed as well it was shared with the board last week this is kind of like on display kind of through the end of June

043which is the end of our school year over the next few weeks if any board members have feedback or questions or those kinds of things feel free to reach out I typically don't go through it's a lengthy document the board has been tracking all of these goals over the the course of the entire year this is just the work that the board and the administration have been doing just keeping track of our work over the year in a narrative form for the public to review more than anything so this is the draft and then sometime you know after this towards the end of this school year for us which is the last week of June or the start of the next one Jill and I will do one final review of it make sure that

044it is buttoned that we've factored in any feedback that's come our way and then it'll it'll go on our strategic plan website where these are all archived historically this also serves as the beginning of our goal setting process for the next year so as you review that document probably more important for board members is looking at the areas that we identify are kind of remaining out there and next steps or future Focus items at the July board meeting we will come and discuss the proposed draft goals for next year we had an all-day work session on that with the administrative team we have a half a day of it next Tuesday midweek next week I'll share that draft of next year's goals with the board to start Gathering your feedback virtually heading into a conversation

045about those goals in July and then we come back at the month at the August Workshop we will add an action item to approve those goals so that we have them in hand for when staff come back we can share where we're at we also plan on reaching out to the bargaining units over the next couple of months as we do this process to seek their feedback on those items as well good idea so questions comments concerns on the end of the year goal summary all right uh thank you the next one is an action item uh this evening as well that's everything I just told you uh uh action item later this evening is a social media litigation so the board's attorneys and the administration recommends that the board adopts a resolution this evening

046or it's two resolutions to that will join us into this class action around social media um this is very similar to what we did last year around vaping and that litigation that we're still involved in the first one of those vaping litigations was finalized a few months ago and it resulted in Eighty five thousand dollars coming to the district offset costs related to vaping there's still I think two more branches of that litigation out there this would be very similar to that in that I I spent maybe three hours of work in Total documenting our work around vaping we had a lot of it documented to begin with um I had to respond to a couple of surveys to join into that that litigation I've Been Told I watched a webinar on it from the

047board's attorneys that it would be a similar amount of work leading into it where we would document the work that we've had in place to respond to the increased amount of cyber bullying and discipline incidents related to social media and a lot of this is brought on by the fact that the social media companies are very slow or completely non-responsive when we have uh bullying incidents that occur in the variety of social media sites that really cause an increased amount of staff time in responding to those issues where if they were more responsive and just brought down postings when we let them know that it's negatively impacting the school environment we I don't think we'd be in this spot right now so it's our recommendation that the board enters into these two resolutions to allow

048us to join into these class action lawsuits questions I can do my best to play amateur attorney if you have them other than vaping because that we've done in the past yeah the only other one we've done in the past is related to vaping so this is from the same group that represented Us in the vaping litigation do you recall in The Vaping litigation the costs because this is obviously a contingency fee but it does provide that we have to pay our portion of cost out of pocket do you recall if it being a significant amount in in cost expenditures it all came from the proceeds of the so we weren't writing a check nothing upfronted costs no Advance costs it only came out on on the end so if I remember correctly it was

049a little over a hundred thousand that it was like 112 112 or something and then in the end yeah I think it was around 112. and then we got down to 87 was our net yeah it was about twenty thousand dollars off of what we would have received if we received the whole package without costs from what we actually received okay but like I said in total amount of work for me was like three to five hours of my work for the district to receive 85 000 that's far higher than my hourly rate so it I think it makes sense to do it all right uh last one foil requests we've received them as we regularly do and respond to them as we are required to and they are all posted on our website item
