001in the summer for man because schools have 60 days to get stuff done you're sharing that man. So it's good to do it do things in months other than summer because people are more likely to be looking for work. >> So the timeline you had for bidding was just for the annex that doesn't include the additional cost that fits everything >> essentially. So here here's another reality in bid packages and we haven't got to our complete strategy yet. But you like here we have bid phases. We've had bid phase one that's pre-engineered metal building. Bid phase two will be maybe everything else but at least most of everything else. And another times, if we feel like we're really tight on on money, sometimes we'll manipulate that by having maybe a third uh bid phase to

002determine if there's money to do a thing or not. So, I don't think that'll happen here, but it's a strategy to keep control of things sometimes. >> And we haven't spoken a lot about the dehumidification system, but it is just that. It's just a unit there. >> Yeah, it's a unit and you sit back on the roof. Uh we like I said, we are your returning air right now is is in the ceiling which is not ideal for a pool. So we're going to run return air down to the floor level. Um it's best because all the chemical fumes and everything on the surface of the water best is to pull that off of the surface of the water to getting up any higher. Um, and yeah, it's going to be sitting on the same

003place. Got to change maybe a third of the duct work. And now there's a loop of duct work up high there. We're going to be able to use about twothirds of that probably. Uh, so sizewise we have to change some of it. And that was a little bit of a savings. My original budget figured that out. So >> yeah, and that's our our current dehumidification is existing. It's for the original, right? Or pretty close to the original. >> Well, it's not not original to the building probably, but it's it's at the end of his expected life span. What you have and and he's he's worried about. He's he struggles. [Music] Daisy, do you have to remember the size of the old story building here? gentleman in the back. Do you guys want to chime in?

004And but it's the same topic. It makes sense. >> Absolutely. Um so a couple questions. Uh the community, at least people that I've talked with that are upset about this, the first they knew about it is when I put a post on last night on Facebook. And so I guess why was this 4chain next not discussed in the the community? Um the second I'm kind of curious at what the cost is. Um and I sat on your guys' side of the table, you know, so respectfully I understand you got a job to do, but as taxpayers, you know, we're choking out here with what we were paying in property taxes. 70% of our property taxes come here. the referendum, which I think last year you guys got 5.5 million from. What are you going to

005do when that's when that's gone in 28? because people that voted for that.
