001I'd like to call to order this meeting of the Anthony 90 school board. All rise for the Igian to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Anyone have any questions? Anything you want me to go over before we get started here. All right. So, let's welcome Ena Jensen. Yep. [laughter] Our student services director. And we are going to start with tab 1200, which is our special education budget. Good. So I guess my question number one, I can tell this from looking are we keeping the same ratio on like case workers etc. We're going to try to adjust that at all. >> Nothing's changed there. [laughter] >> We're not going to have anything to argue about
002because we could have probably done it without her. Um okay so our first one 1200-2 salaries for special ed teachers and that is contracted amount. So the jump is why is it lower than last year's budget? >> Because some is likely because people leave and they come in on fair steps. >> Yep. Absolutely. >> All right. So, >> good question though. >> Yeah, right. >> Thank you. Yeah, cuz everything else everything else goes up. Absolutely. That's a that's a nice That's a 30 plus,000 uh decrease. So, that makes other things easier. All right. So, uh would someone like to move $1,27,762 for our special ed teachers? I'll move 1,217,762 special. >> I'll second that one. Does anybody have any questions, comments? No. Okay. All in favor? Okay. All right. We have special ed aids. So,
003we should talk about this one. Happy to. Um, we had more aids for whatever reason, not this year, but last year in the budget. Yeah. >> Um, so when I was changing things around, I put in um four of our um IDEIDA fund paras into our budget. It >> still does not make our budget go up. >> Okay. No, in fact, it looks like it's uh it went down from 954,000 to 948,000 >> between some of the people that left last year not having this the the number of people that we had last year and then also people that have moved longevity um switching around and stuff. It completely changed. >> Okay. >> So, so we did do that cuz we wanted to um >> cuz we're worried about the funding. >> Correct. >> Yeah.
004Okay. That's I'm very happy. >> And then if we if we get [clears throat] in a sticky wiki or whatever, we have that funding, we can put on that. >> Okay. >> And it looks like even I mean we've got a pretty good cushion between the actual this year. So y that is great. So, does anybody have any questions for Dina on the number of I mean, we do I do see a couple of vacant spots or we going to keep those and try to um to hire those next year? [cough] >> Anybody have any questions? >> I'll move 948,631 for special ed aids. I'll second. All in favor? >> Thank you. All right. Salaries for special ed tutors, which it looks like we're going to cut, but that makes sense since the actual was
005only 9:30. So, doesn't make sense to have a big cushion if we're not using it, >> right? Anybody have any questions on tutoring? >> Did we need to use any last year? >> It looked like 9:30 >> a little bit. >> And I mean, that's something that fluctuates. So hard to tell if you know somebody's going to need that if something medically happens. >> Well, yeah. Tutoring services coordinated through mental health facilities. So, it's going to depend on >> anybody on that side of the table like to >> Yeah. Um I'll move $2,500 for special ed tutor salaries. >> I'll second. All right. All in favor? All right. Um this we should hold. This is my union. All right. And same with the next page. And then we can go to 126. So I start
006with excuse me with a placeholder. >> Mhm. >> For an LEA motion to put in a dollar as a placeholder for LEA. >> Okay. I'll second. not literally [laughter] not meeting out of order. >> No, I'm just [snorts] all in favor. >> Okay. Salaries for the extended program. So, we bumped that up a little bit. >> Yeah. >> We've consistently been over. >> And my question is, I know we're trying to keep everything tight, but should it be said? It looks like we've had two years in a row where it's been right away. So, we're trying to hold people to the criteria that was set. To be honest with you, that's something that came up in conversation last year. Um, and because there is clear criteria on what qualifies as extended year and really just
007trying to hold to it. >> Yes. >> Yep. >> But, you know, Yeah. >> Yeah. And also, I think that we have we have a different population this year. Okay. So we may have different needs for extended school year and you know programming may look different. >> Okay, that's all right. >> I'll move 60,000 for salaries for extended school year program. I'll second looks like that state flat 4,650. Any questions? I'll move that one. 4,650 for workshops and seminars for special ed. I'll second. All in favor. [clears throat] Okay. So, now we have prof professional services for a variety of vendors including particularly for our two neck programs, the one at center and one at Marshman. >> Yep. >> So, we are at 4788. for that one. >> And why is that up? >> Because
008the second neck program was added >> Second Okay. >> The one at Marston. And then also I think it's just important to note that for example, Northeast Passage um orientation mobility services are significantly more money than what is listed here. They are supplemented through the grant. >> Oh, okay. That's good. I'll make a motion for 478,800 for professional services. A second. All in favor? Special ed for excuse me for evaluations and testing. And I assume that's one of those things that you just aren't going to know, >> right? This is if if um we need to a do testing that we are not able to do within the district or if a family is unhappy with our testing >> disagrees with great to move that or have any questions about it. >> I'll move $10,000
009for evaluations testing. >> All right. I'll second. All in favor? All right. Expenditures 5,000. I'll move 5,000 for legal expenditures. I second. All in favor, [cough] [clears throat] 1440 for the leasing of copers. I'll move that one. I'll second. Okay. All in favor? Thank you. Telecommunications. So, it's going to be cell phone, okay, for director and the BCBA, which makes sense. And that's flat. So, that didn't go up at all. All right. I'll make >> a set rate that we reimburse back. >> We haven't changed it. >> Oh, gotcha. Okay. >> So, in theory, it could. I'll make a motion for 2400 for telecommunications. >> Okay. Second that. >> All in favor? Thank you. Right. tuition. We should talk about this one. So, we appreciate that we don't know how much it's going to be
010and we are trying to bring that down, but it is consistently high. How are we going to are we where are we where have we been pulling our extra when we go over? >> We haven't in the past two years. Um we did two years prior to that. That year we um added a little extra. >> Okay. >> We added a student in just because we were having a pattern. >> That pattern seems to have now that I'm going to say it like if that pattern's gone away, right? Like so >> you know you can finish. >> I mean >> it's the best to our knowledge. >> It's the best we can do. One of the also challenges is that we don't get the rates before budgets done for the districts. >> So um some
011of them could have rate setting that is above what we were anticipating but right now it looks like we'll have three out of district students and part of the reason why we have our partner program with neck is also to keep students in house within center in Marston. >> Yeah. I think sorry what's the difference between how the default number is calculated and what was determined to propose for the board >> um is the adopted budget that we had last year I default yeah >> we had bumped it up yeah last year because we we were worried because we had had a couple years in a row where we were that was really high. >> Yeah. This one always makes me nervous cuz this is the one that can kill you, right? >> It it
012can it can, but we do have some contingencies that we put into place. >> Um, you know, I if our programs are working, this is what we would want to see, >> right? >> Absolutely. And of course, things that really we have no control over is if a student were to move into town, who is who came from the placement? And there's really nothing we can we can't predict that. We could also have a student leave. Yep. You know, those happen. Yeah, absolutely. >> And do we leave a little in there just in case? We usually try to leave a little something in there just in case. So, >> we we do try to do that. >> Um but you're right, Wendy. It's a it's to the best of our ability based on what we
013have. >> We we do try to put the safeguards in. So, we have the um special ed fund. At some point we should talk about maybe adding some more funds to that. I I can't remember exactly. I think uh >> 75,000 >> 75 yeah 75,000 is where we are. Um at some point maybe we should >> pick away put a little at a time transfer some into there so that we get at least enough to cover one student at some point. >> Um and then we we do have the retainage um >> we have did we use that one year? We used a special um fund. We used it when I the year I first started as a VA and we we decided not to um put funds back into it. >> Okay. >> Um
014but we did use a little bit out of that. >> Okay. >> That was a long It was prior to co >> Okay. Yeah. >> So yeah, but I think we did use a little bit from retainage. >> We've had retainage two years, right? I feel like we used a little bit last year, the year before. We um voted to use some of the funds last year that we didn't utilize cuz we had overage to fund some other items. >> Okay. >> Um at the end of the budget, >> but it was all within the budget. >> Yeah. >> We didn't go into >> We just moved it. That's right. Yeah. Have the bottom line. >> Is this line item looking good this year? Like within what we set for the 25th? >> Okay. >>
015October 22nd. >> [laughter] >> And here that's the other thing. We're trying to guesstimate a year in advance. You're as good as your guest, but >> I feel pretty confident. I'm happy about the neck program and moving it into Marston. >> Y. >> So, yeah, I think this is a test for that. >> I just want to talk it through. This is the one that always works. >> Of course. >> Well, because we don't know >> cuz it can it can blow up and there's nothing to do about it, right? I mean, we we are legally obligated to cover it and >> Exactly. So, >> I mean that is definitely I understand. I mean it would be great to hold default money, but I I have a hard time >> Yeah. >> justifying that when
016it's supposed to be bottom base, >> zero based. [laughter] >> I'm okay with that. If you guys are are confident with what we have this second, then I am I am good with that. Personally, >> it is the best guest today, Wendy. And that's a change, you know. >> Yeah, I do. >> Tomorrow, somebody could show up. >> All right. [clears throat] >> Mhm. I I've gone on about I I will move uh 525,000 um for basically out of district tuition for special education. >> I'll second. All in favor? >> We appreciate the convers conversation, too. >> Very important. >> Yeah, it's important. >> We're not [laughter] budget. Do you need more? Are you sure you asked for enough? >> Okay. Travel reimbursement, $1,500. Uh uh this is for staff that are uh helping with
017out of district placements, I guess. Is that what they're >> Oh, travel. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Anybody have any questions on that? >> Anybody like to move that? I'll move $1,500 for the travel reimbursement. >> I'll second. >> Okay. All in favor. All right. What caused the supplies to be $31,000 this year? >> So, like I said, we we moved some of the funds that we had left over in um tuition and bought supplies that were needed. I can look up exactly what it was, but [laughter] >> just in general. >> Huh. But um never worked. >> No, there were a couple things that we needed that um I think we got a um a few of the items that we know that we needed for the neck room and then a couple other little
018items. >> That's fine. I was just generally curious. I don't need a >> You give a slow anyway. All right. Um I will move that one. $12,000 for special ed supplies. I'll second. Okay. All in favor?

Added >> have any questions or want to move that? >> I'll move $16,51 for software. I'll second. Does anybody have any questions before we all in favor? >> I do. Um Kim did spend a lot of time, she spends a lot of time on this one. She does have usages, renewals, and comments and all the stuff that on each item if you ever are interested in that information. [laughter] >> Thank you. We
019appreciate that. For the equipment, the nice one. Well, no, for the the software. >> Oh, for the software. Oh, yes. And we do the same thing at the library. Yes, it's a it's a thing that >> and relay is our Medicaid to school provider. >> Okay, that's good to know. >> Let's really say it again. >> Relay, it's the Medicaid to school >> program. So, we use That's great. So, we use that to get money, correct? >> Yes. Awesome. [cough] >> Okay. [clears throat] So, we have $9,300 for various equipment, keyboards, visual aids, batteries, specialized furniture, etc. I'll move $9,300 for equipment. I'll second. All in favor? Dues and fees 1,150. ML follow, 1450 for dues and fees. Got a second. All in favor? All right, we are done with that section that section. Um,
020feel bad. I did not in any way address, but we do actually have a board member who was ill. Um, Sarah Elliot was not feeling well and will not be jumped into it. >> All right. Do we have transportation? >> We could go into at least do special ed trans or do whole transportation if we wanted to. >> That's fine. Sure. I don't know >> what number goes up. That is 27 already. 2700. Thank you. If there's [clears throat] any other going out of order, but okay. [laughter] I'll be fine. As long as we remember which ones we need to do, >> right? So 2700-2 is just for excuse me our regular trans school bus transportation for students from home to the area schools. >> Yes. And we have a contract with them through next
021year. Awesome. And that contract is projected to be 5% higher. >> Okay. >> Yeah. increase. >> Gotcha. >> I'll make a motion for $862,65 for regular home to school transportation. Okay, I'll second. All in favor. Thank you. and we'll say thank you as a given the increase the continuing increase in gas prices 5% is a >> right so this is going to be transportation for let's see for our district placements for special ed and also for our summer programs preschool field trips specifically field trips for the special ed okay >> and home home to school service for students unable to ride the regular bus. >> Yes, it's worth $490,650.

022All in favor? Thank you. transportation for athletics like that. We're keeping it flat but spending less. That's >> Yeah. Are they Have they been able to get all of the buses that they need? I mean, I feel like last year that was an issue. There were >> It was one or two meets where they weren't able to get buses. >> The academy did want to put that rate up, but we had a they couldn't prove to me that they were spending any more than that. >> Yeah. And so we decided to leave it. Um I [cough] I I [clears throat] think that they found we we called any events on a couple things and they helped out. So I know they were trying to utilize other vendors, too. So have any questions on that? Anybody
023like to motion $12,000 for transportation for athletics? I'll move $12,000 for transportation athletics. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor? >> Okay.

Why don't we do that account and that will >> that would be it. Okay. 2290 looking >> page two. Would you guys like to explain a huge jump from our actual for the
025last few years? >> Yeah. >> Oh, um [laughter] that our inhouse sub was put in that one when it was in the Perez originally. So I moved it into this section because it really doesn't fall under >> the building sub. >> That's why. >> Does she get paid a Paris salary? >> Are she a teacher? >> It's a union.

Yes, >> they're lunch monitors and then Marston doesn't have really a lunch monitor. She's well, she's part lunch monitor and part crossing guard.

027a dollar placeholder. >> Yeah. >> Now, stuff like this. Can we eventually get rid of it? I mean, it looks like definitely could. There's the um if we put placeholders in there so that we don't get rid of the accounts. So once they're gone, we have to like vote them back in again. >> Yeah. >> Uh this definitely we probably would never use it again. I would not think so. It was such a >> Yeah, >> it was such Yes. that I I would think that probably yes, that was >> I'll make a motion to eliminate >> um this particular account area on salaries bonus pays. >> I would second that. >> Do you guys have any questions? >> It hasn't been used. >> No, no, since it looks like since 2019 2020.

For the most part, I don't mind, but like if it's >> completely useless. >> All right. School resource officer are >> So, this one's a hard one's just a normal salary, one's hourly. So, I really don't know. So, I'm just keeping um what I know best. >> Y I'll move $250,000 for school resource officer. >> I'll second. >> All in favor? Thank you. That's nice cuz I feel certain that that has not stayed completely flat and I think they are basically they are charging us >> flat. Anybody about me? >> Just require telecommunications. So, this is
029a cell phone for facilities director and the outreach coordinator for $900. I'll move that one. I'll second all favor. >> All right. Do we have anything else? I vote that you can release the >> Yes, Dina. That you didn't do the um Yes. salaries for the BCBA and ABA tax because it's non-union. But yes, you have any questions. >> Oh, on the positions. >> Yeah, I'd be happy to answer it >> because we are adding um 38 ADA tech number. >> So, if you do have questions, that's a great idea. >> I do have a question actually with neck moving into Marston um and with us having our contract outside of the neck program, right? How will he just be outside? >> Is he overseeing all three schools? >> No. So, he works with all
030three of our schools, but not nec not the neck program. NEC has their own CBAs. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, is he overseeing RBTs that we employ or is that overseas that we employ? >> So, we have RBTs outside of the neck program and he oversees all of them. >> And then anybody within the neck program, neck oversees. And so the reason why we're looking to add, we call them ABA techs in the neck program just because we're trying to delineate um where they are, we are looking to add three so that we are accounting for seven students in each program because that's their capacity. Um and we feel like we will have that next year. That's why we're looking to add those positions. Okay. >> Guess based on what's coming up from seven. >>
031Y that's right. Y Yeah. All right. I don't have any more questions about it. >> That was a great question. [laughter] >> I know. I wantbody. >> No, she just Well, thank you and enjoy the rest of your evening. Yes. Grab a sandwich on the way. Chips. There's little cakes over there. Might as well. We made you six. >> Might as well get a free dinner out of it. >> All right. So, we need to go to like 2310. >> Y is board of education. Okay. I don't have these. >> No, that will take me two seconds to photocopy. Does anybody else just use two? >> I don't This will take me two seconds. You sure? It's okay. >> Yeah. You know what? Why don't we just take a break? Yeah, >> we'll just take
032a break. We'll have a little snack. We'll take a bathroom break. and we'll come back right away till 2310. >> I know it's fine. Yeah. >> All right. Seconds. Sure. We're going to um I will be going to recess. We'll call the meeting back to order. And I think next we are looking at schoolboard expenses. >> Yes. >> All right. So, our first is salaries for district officers. Um, >> this did change. We put the secretary up um [clears throat] $50 because the amount of hours it was taking. >> Yeah. Okay. >> All right. So, I'd like to make a motion for 26670. >> I'll move 26670 for um district officer salaries. I'll second. All in favor? >> Thank you. >> So, because the recording because it's per meeting and um it's not a big
033deal that we changed, right? >> No, exactly. >> Okay. Right. >> I'm really surprised that our our our actual for 2425 is was 148. I thought it would be higher. Sorry, for the public, we are looking at legal expenditures for the school board. Uh we have a flat budget, $30,000, and I was commenting that the actual was 14,828 last year. I have no objections to keeping it at 30 because you just never, >> right? I'll make a motion for 30,000 from school board legal expenditures. Okay, I'll second. All it favor. >> Thank you. >> All right. Audit. So they in Are we doing a [clears throat] >> So it's one has gone up and two we have been in the compliance audit fee for the past couple years and I don't see any changing. So
034it's a it's a secondary thing they are doing. They get audited again. So they come and they audit um for grants. >> Oh okay. >> Yeah. >> So they do a normal audit and then they come and audit just grants. That makes sense. >> Can can I ask why do they do that? It's by state. We have to if we get so much. It's they change the law every year, but it's a set amount you get if you are in a threshold um for grants and they've been in that threshold to have to be audited. So, I have to do a report to the state every year with what we receive for grants in the year. And if we fall in that threshold, I have to prove that I'm doing a single audit. and um
035we have not been single audited yet for that because when they came in July um didn't have the state didn't have the laws on what they actually wanted to test yet for samples for the audit. So they're going to come back um and do that before the end of the year. But um that is something that we do have to do. I've been doing it. It's just um the audit has gone up a lot >> and um I think one is there there a lot of school auditors um there have been a couple that have closed their business and they're just so busy and don't have >> supply employees and supply and demand. So I think um they're they're working more hours and they're just putting in a lot in. So I think that the
036rates just went up. Yeah, makes sense. >> I'll move $25,500 for audit expenditures, school board. I'll second it. All in favor? Thank you. Annual meeting expenditures, $3,000 was up a little bit last year. Um, yes. We had an issue last year where they printed the ballots roll. Gotcha. >> All right. Um, I'll move $3,000 for annual meeting expenditures. >> I'll second. >> All in favor. >> Thank you. Advertising expenditures $2,947. This is primarily for hiring. >> Yep. 100 jobs, not a truck. >> Yep. >> I'll move that amount 2,947. I'll second. All in favor? Got a placeholder for our travel reimbursement. Maybe some maybe some travel. [clears throat] >> Yes, [laughter] >> sure. I'll move the dollar for travel reimbursement. All in favor supplies. These are for our lovely binders. Paper clips that we did.
037Binder clips. I'll move $2,700 for supplies. School board. I'll second. All in favor? Thank you. All right. dues and fees. Did you move uh something in here? The NASDAQ, is that something you added? Oh, no. I'm sorry. It's fine. >> I was looking at the actual >> um however, the if you guys do ever decide that you want to do some of the training, there's um like the litter conference that we went to, there was a lot of school board members that went to that. Um Bradley KD Yeah, Bradley KD. Um there are a couple really cool conferences each year that we do have I we do see school board members um go to. So if you're ever interested you we can just forward them to you cuz it is exciting. >> Pretty cool. >>
038Next year I feel like this year we're >> I know >> trying so hard to keep everything down but >> I know I get it. >> Something else. >> I'll make a motion for 7,1005 for schoolers and fees. I'll second. All in favor? Table some of these uh table. We could well you could do the HR system if you wanted to but then table the rest to page five. I think HR assistant needs me. >> Okay, I'll make a motion to keep that dollar and keep the placeholder open for our salaries for HR assistant. I'll second all in >> favor [clears throat] travel, right? Yep. Skippy. Sorry. Yep. All right. So, we are looking at funds for SAU administrators and staff to attend workshops and conferences for $9,850. I'll move $9,850 for workshops and travel.
039Okay. Second. Okay. All in favor? Contracted services. Okay. And this is for uh background checks and fingerprinting >> for $1,200. >> Yeah. >> I'll move $1,200 for contracted services. Okay. >> I'll second. >> Oh, sorry. >> That's okay. >> All in favor? >> Thank you. >> Just so we can can keep Mariah on her toes when she does. All right. Labor relations services just fine. We um I assume we're just using that for the >> Yeah. Or anything that could come up. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Um and it was high last year because it was a two contract. >> It was Yeah. >> So I'll motion $5,000 for labor relations services. >> I'll second. >> All in favor?

Do you want to put a pin in this one or are you ready to talk about it? >> We can talk about repair maintenance. Um, do you want to talk about repair maintenance and the CIP and our warrant article all
052at once? >> Yeah, might as well. >> Cuz it all kind of merges together. >> Yep. Perfect. >> So, I guess I'll start with the CIP. That's a multi-year plan that you give to the town just of guesstimates on things that are coming up that you know that are going to need to be completed and and done. Um we have a list of items that we want to get completed and done, but we try to do that in the we used to try to do that in the 300 warn article, but it's just not really enough and we're picking at things. Um, we didn't want to put that up a ton this year, so we opted to put it up by $50,000. Um, that is going to that warn article will um be for center
053school boiler. So, 300 of it's going to go to the boiler and then 50 of that is going to go to vegeta vegetation cleanup at the pond. Um, because we have to start doing that. Um, and we are still working with the um, we have a company that is helping us come up with a plan for the pond on how to keep it maintained and service and get it regulated with the state. Um, so that is what we would do with the 350,000 for the long-term um, maintenance. Um, but coming up and I think the goal would to put it in a separate Warner article next year like we did with the HVAC is to um replace two roofs um one section at center and one section at Marston. And that is going to cost
054um an average of $1,500,000. And that's for the two moves together. >> Um >> so you're looking at putting this on the ballot this coming spring. >> Well, for next year's board article, >> 27. You think we can wait? >> Yes. So So >> those pictures are >> Yes. So, we've been maintaining it. He gave me an actual threeyear timeline and I'm pulling it up a year. >> Okay. I mean, I'll >> So, he says technically I can put it on two years, but I'm like, "Nope, I want to do it. Let's give the um voters a break this year cuz last year was crazy. Let's give them a break this year. Let's ask for it next year before we have to have conversation about teacher contracts again." >> Yeah. >> Right. Yep. So that
055was the goal. Um, but I wanted to get all this information out there now so that we can start having the conversation. So it's not a I gotcha. >> Yeah. >> Talking to the budget committee, right? Letting them know like when we walking through that this is we are putting it off. >> Yeah. >> So are we are we leaking into the building is what? >> Um, we've always had spots leaking into the building. Um this summer we did a lot of maintenance on that. Um is why they also came in after they did maintenance to scan and really see. They scan for us every year. We have a contract with them to really try to keep the building up to date and constant and not just put blinders on once it's fixed. We always
056are always looking at it. Um there are a couple spots that are worse than others and some and you know like water water travels. It's not always >> in the spot that it's leaking from. It it travels. So, we um we're doing a really good job at maintaining it, but this is definitely what we're going to need to do for next year. 27. >> Yeah. 27. So, yeah, >> it makes sense to just if we need it, >> we need it. >> And then I >> sure then I'll trust him. also um put in some money holders in here for the damn pond. [laughter] No pun intended. Um because not really sure 100% what we're going to need other than we I know we will need to start pulling the suggestion was pulling some weeds,
057pulling trees, cleaning up the area. That's the first piece of that. And um and then from there it's cleaning it out and then they're going to do some more scanning of the data to see if that will handle it, if that will take care of it for a couple years or if we're actually going to have to do some services. Um and this 660 here, we moved money around to make that work, didn't we? the 2425 actual >> which is sort of where we started. >> Yes. So that's >> we moved money and that's why it's going to look that high. We moved money from uh [clears throat] tuitions. >> Yeah. >> Cuz we had student. >> Yes. And we moved it over here. We did some of the flooring. So if you come in,
058we actually showed the budget um committee the flooring. We did a section of the flooring and where it changes. Um that's the hope and goal every year just try to piece some of that together because it really needs to be done. >> Um >> does this budget allow for doing continuing that work on the floors? >> Does this No, no, it's if we have anything left over the goal is to come back and re re um ask um Okay. >> And this says change out window balancers class and spring screens. That's the the window issues we've been talking about. >> Yeah, we we really wanted to replace the windows. There's no way we're going to be able to do that anytime in the near future. So, we opted to decide to try to >> fix
059them because it can they can be fixed. >> Okay. >> Not they can be fixed so that they're functional. >> It's not exactly what we want. Um but there are the boilers the boilers bigger need now where it wasn't before and the roof. So, we're It's a a movement always movement for facilities. >> Um but then you have your basics right like the gym floors, the hygiene stuff that we have to do by law. We put the um roof um testing in there cuz we always have that done. The fees, refrigeration and freezer walk-ins that contract um day-to-day repairs. And then if we don't utilize all of this in um in the guesstimates that we we do and it's not then we'll pick away at the floor. So we'll pick out something that really needs
060to be done first. Um but the 300 in the war the 350,000 that we're putting in the war article is definitely going to go to the boiler and the the pond. All right. So, we're leaving for the We're leaving this at 350 this year. >> Move it up to four year. >> Yeah. >> And then to keep it there hopefully. >> Yeah. >> So, we're keeping everything flat. >> We are. >> Yeah. Okay. >> We're addressing what we need to >> I will say the flooring had a huge impact on the budget committ buildings like the police and the fire and they're looking at redoing their floors. has been brought up to both of them, not by me, but other members if they need to talk to our facilities director >> to learn more about
061what we've done with our floors. So, they are very impressed with that. >> Yeah, they see the value for sure. >> Mhm. >> Yep. >> Seems we'll try. Whatever's left over, that's what we'll >> Yeah. >> Right. >> So, not really the best at facilities, but those uh that's what I get out of facilities. >> [laughter] >> That's what I know we need to do for facilities. >> Well, you can put it in a gym if you want us to too. Seal the piece if [clears throat] you want. >> I don't think of it. I don't think >> I don't think we need anything else. >> It's really flat. Honestly, we try we're trying to make the best what we have um and do the major things that need to get done. when we are
062ready to submit um more articles for the important things when they review those at the municipal budget committee. Would that be something that we could bring Tim too? >> Yep, we could definitely >> I think that would be helpful. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Yeah, we usually do um at the least special ed because that's usually the biggest questions. Yep. >> Yeah. >> And I think Keith has been there a couple times too when we were especially when we were doing the Hback >> I think having him I think having him there when we talk about the roof through all this. >> I mean I can say we need it but I can't like >> I don't know why I know it's next year but these pictures should be should be up on up on their
063screens. I can see the holes in the roof, the shrubs growing in the roof, >> lifting up the roof and pulling up the rotted pieces out from under it. >> Yeah. >> And theoretically, that's where the public is getting their info on our warrant article. So, I think it's a good opportunity to show them. Yeah. >> Y >> and I think it wouldn't hurt anything to maybe give them a heads up this year. Oh, that's why I want to start and to let them know >> that we need it and we're trying to be responsible, fiscally responsible. We know this isn't a good year. >> Keep an eye out for it next year. >> Yeah. >> So, yep. >> All right. I'll move 300,000 for repair and maintenance. A second. All in favor? Thank you.
