008as the cost of 96 567. so what is in front of you is the approval for us to move forward it's one of the documents that we need to complete in order for us to obtain the award melanie this is secretary scott who will be doing the work um i believe the contractor we have is i want to i'm not i want to say sun want but i'm not confident on that okay melanie can you describe what the issue is with the area over there at cleveland high school yeah yes so cleveland actually has very large cracks i would say it probably exceeds the definition of cracking some of them we have large veins going through at 12 inches this was a problem that we have actually throughout the cleveland campus that was identified when
009i first started we set aside recurring costs in sb9 dollars every year but the cost is so high to just do this one section that over the past couple of years we've tried to spread it out amongst many campuses but this year it's a time where we had the opportunity to go after funds and i would like to get take care of it before it gets worse this is again just one section of cleveland cleveland uh needs a lot of repairs but we're trying to spread the money that we had in sb9 out to multiple schools before we you know put it in one school and which parking lot is getting done is this the one over by the student it's a student yes because yeah that's pretty significant issues over there yes okay okay
010was it what is it was it a construction fault i i don't know um that school was built a little over 10 years ago i think maybe 11 years now um it's just we have a lot of issues with erosion on this west side that we experience at all of our campuses that one is just a little bit more extensive than at the other campuses okay uh dr cleveland i don't want to lead you out any comments any thoughts on this no i think she covered it well um obviously the work is is really needed any additional revenue that we can get it's just tremendous self so uh you know i i think it's uh i think it's it's a really good thing for us to to accept okay anyone else with any comments i'm
011good with it thank you melanie i appreciate that does anyone else have any comments or concerns if not i would ask that uh that we make a motion this is secretary scott i'll move to approve uh resolution 21-001 uh including the participation in local government road fund program administered by the new mexico department of transportation spur member catherine cullen second okay thank you noreen scott for that motion and boardman mccullen um kim you want to take a roll yes sir vice president morgan yes secretary scott yes board member colin yes board member coleman yes and that is 4-0 okay we all sat all righty next item on the agenda is advanced planning i'm a little i'm a little nervous here this thing is going too smooth uh uh i'm already advanced planning do i need
