001Um, okay. First order on the agenda for today. Um, I need a motion to, uh, elect, uh, Sean, chair of sites and facilities. Do I have a motion? >> Anybody on the Thank you, Maria. [laughter] make a motion that we um elect Sean Ratchford as chairperson for the sites and facilities committee. >> Thank you, Wanita. I have a motion on the floor. Do I hear a second? >> Are they >> second by Sherry? They had the hand up. Sher, are you seconding? >> Yes, second. >> Thank you. Second by Sherry. All in favor? I >> I >> Thank you. Any opposed? All right, Sean, I'm going to turn the meeting over to you. Congratulations. >> Oh, thank you very much. Big shoes to fill. Your old shoes. Mike has already put a lot of pressure
002on me in my phone call earlier. [laughter] Uh good evening and welcome to everybody. I want to remind everybody that we are on camera. Uh thank you Anita for wanting to take the notes. Um, for the new members, I'm lucky enough to have been a teacher for 30 plus years, involved in the school for 40 plus years. There are people on this that you may not know. So, if uh Rich, if you want to explain who you are, Mike, if you want to explain your role, Ken, if you want to explain your role to the new people so they they understand who you are and why you're on this call. >> Sure. Thank you, uh, Mr. Ashford, and congratulations on your appointment. and uh Miss Britain, thank you for your leadership on this committee and
003uh it was a great couple years and uh I'm confident it's still in good hands. So, thank you. Uh so, for uh everybody, I I know I've met everybody uh at least briefly in the boardroom. My name is Michael Celig, chief operating strategy officer for Danbury public schools. Um as Louise and I were just joking, we we've both have been here about four years now. Um so I oversee a variety of departments. Uh first and foremost, the sites and facilities. I also oversee uh school security um and a few other departments around communications, marketing, legislative affairs, um parts of the strategic plan and a few different things. So, I have a pretty mixed bag. Um and then I'll throw to Rich who is our director of facilities. >> Good evening everyone. Rich Jalbert, director of
004uh sites and facilities. Um I've been with Danbury public schools 14 years. Um, and I have about 85 custodians, uh, four maintenance people, two food truck drivers, one courier. Um, you know, we handle all the uh custodial work, our maintenance uh department uh does general uh general carpentry, door hardware. um and I am the liaison with the city to um you know deal with them with heating and electrical issues. >> Thank you. And I'll just add Rich uh Rich is an absolutely fantastic facilities director and manager of his people. He has a big crew. U he oversees all the custodians uh like you said, as well as the courier, the maintenance uh the maintenance folks and a foreman. Um, and it I'm sure for those of you who've been on this committee, you know the
005scale of work that is before um his department. Um, and you know, it's no small task. Uh, it can involve a 4 a.m. phone call because it snowed more than we were expecting it to and we've got to get custodians in early to start, you know, start shoveling and making sure that, uh, you know, the buses and the and the parents can all get in the buildings. Um, you know, he'll be on these meetings with us, um, late into the evening. And uh you know again there's no shortage of of of you know both planned projects that we have to execute as well as uh last minute things that just pop up. Um and he's uh he's always the first person that gets called when you know the temperature is low in a classroom and
006uh you know somebody's upset. So he's he's absolutely incredible at at handling all of these things and uh you know just making sure uh cooler heads always prevail because some of these issues do do get tempers uh flaring sometimes. So, uh, I'll leave it there, but thank you, Rich. I really appreciate your your your work and your dedication to this, uh, to this role, and, uh, I I I'm I'm confident we're, uh, we're going to have another great year ahead of us here as we start to look ahead in this budget season. So, um, I'll jump into, uh, I have a little presentation that I just kind of put the agenda on here so that we can all kind of read off the same sheet of music. Oh, everybody see that? >> Okay. All right.
007So, here's just a quick overview of the agenda. Uh, we've already completed item number one. Um, I want to go through some of the ongoing work and projects that we have happening right now in the district. And then, as we've been assembling our budget for 2627, just a a quick highle view of some of the maintenance and repair projects that we're planning on doing. Again, this is not capital projects. These are not, you know, uh, you know, multi-million dollar projects building, you know, new buildings and annexes or anything like that. Um, these are the the projects that go into Rich's repair budget that are our responsibility in the facility sharing agreement. Um, and then lastly, we have a a little date change uh coming up on the next meeting. So, um, I'll jump into number
008two, and Rich and I are going to kind of ping pong this one back and forth because it's uh we both have sort of our our hands in this and and handle different aspects of it. So, uh, I'll just start. There was a little bit of water damage DHS, uh, West and the BOE. Um, we had a bit of a a plumbing backup, um, that leaked into one of our storage closets, uh, where we were keeping some IT equipment. Um, we're still assessing the total cost of the damage. We're expecting it to be probably in the 8 to $10,000 range. Um, but, uh, it will be covered, um, through warranty costs, um, by the, uh, uh, is it going to be the plumber, Rich? Do you know? Is it the city or the plumber or
009>> I'm not sure who's going to pick up the cost, but um the construction department did say that we would be reimbursed for it. >> Okay. And that's that that has happened already once before just as we're working through some of the kinks of the building and uh again we were made whole on any damages that were done. So we feel uh pretty confident about that. Uh the second item is uh playground snow and shoveling policy. We've had a few questions about this arise and I know I've had a few um texts and calls from from members of the board regarding specific schools. Um Rich, do you want to talk about the most recent one? I think it was at Stadley Rough where we had a concern about where the plow was pushing the snow
010and it was obstructing a walkway. >> Well, yeah. So, Stadley Ruff was a a different issue. Um, we have some sidewalks in the parking lot um that got plowed by uh either public buildings or or park and wreck and we didn't pick that up until after the fact. So, I did speak to uh park and wreck about plowing the other direction towards the grass um so we can keep that those sidewalks open. Um a newer issue that's it's been the past two years uh public buildings used to plow uh playgrounds for us after, you know, two or three days once once they got their priority snow removal done. Um and it's become a liability issue that they don't want to touch anymore. Um from speaking to Tim Nolan, he said that they they don't even
011touch any of the uh public playgrounds in the city. Once they have snow on them, they're closed until the snow melts. Um, I've also spoken to other facilities directors throughout the state that have echoed the same policy that they don't touch them. So, um, I know I know principles and teachers are trying to get their kids out there on a nice warm day, but we're sort of in a dilemma where we don't have the the means to get these cleansed. >> Yeah. Uh I I was also another conversation as we've been replacing the old playgrounds that had wood chips with the new playgrounds that have that sort of soft uh kind of cork uh uh flooring. U a plow or a shovel would would completely destroy that that ground too. So they don't want to
012do that because it would it would you know cause thousands of dollars with the damage to those Yeah. >> those plants. >> I think these are the black top areas where they're looking at uh people getting the snow removed. >> Okay. All right. Can I can I ask a question about that please? >> Sure. >> Okay. So um in the document that you um shared with us about the um the facilities sharing agreement between the city and Danbury public schools. >> Yeah. Yes. >> Um number 17 says grounds maintenance for lawns, shrubs, fencing, playgrounds, etc. shall be by separate agreement with the parks and wreck department and the board of ed. Where is our um where's our agreement with them? Where is the board's agreement with the city on that >> with parks and wreck?
013Uh I would have to go look that one up. Uh Mr. Mr. Rashford, I don't know if you're familiar with any specific agreement, but we could certainly go do some research and bring it back for the next meeting. >> I I can I can speak to that. Uh Mike, there there is a very old agreement um that gets into detail of what uh the park and recck department does. You know, it's very intensive, involves pruning, overseeding, airating. Um, and it also uh mentioned something about uh the board of ed reimbursing uh park and wreck for that. Um, I I can show that to you tomorrow, but from talking to Tim Nolan, that agreement has sort of been abandoned because we haven't given any money uh to the park department to do that. So, I think
014it's another another agreement that needs to be updated. >> And Mike, that goes through uh Tim Nolan. Uh it does not go through my department recreation. >> Okay. >> I do not have people underneath me. >> So, that would be a question for either Antonio, Tim >> um for that because the agreement that Rich talked about is an old agreement. They did stop paying probably about 20 years ago. No one knows why, but there was agreement that the school system would pay for half of the park and recck staff as they maintain schools as they do things in and around the schools. >> Okay. >> So, none of those things get done anymore by the city. The um grounds the grounds maintenance gets nothing gets done by the city anymore. Is that correct? I would
015say I would say they still do snow removal. Uh they do mowing, weed whipping, uh spring cleanup, um you know, you know, but that agreement 20 years ago, I think Tim, you know, Tim Nolan wasn't there then, but the the superintendent, he had probably three times the amount of staff that they do now. So, there's just a lot of things that they physically can't do. And a lot of their mowing they really don't start doing until they get uh you know miday where they they hire college kids to help. >> They do they do trim hedges and bushes and trees too. So >> okay if we could have an update report on that at our next meeting. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Okay. All right. The third item uh end of your project. So, as
016as we kind of I can't believe we're already talking about the home stretch of the budget year here, but you know, we're almost in February. So, leaves us about four or five months to finish projects uh using this year's funds. Uh so, this is just a little look ahead at some of the things we're planning on doing. Um as always, when you know, when you finally come down to the wire, you figure out you have a little bit of more money or less money than you thought. So, some of these things uh uh you know may happen in part or in whole or we may even add another thing or two to this list. Um we're still working on the BBAC conversion of our old offices for adult ed with the plan to have them
017completely in there uh by next year. Um the last update we had on that was a revised drawings uh had come from the architect and they are now being submitted for permitting. Uh so that process is is probably going to be about a month. Uh so by the next time we meet we should hopefully have another update. uh about the permits and construction timeline. Um AIS uh this was a conversation that we'd had in our last sites meeting about the conversion of a storage room. Uh we've uh uh engaged with an engineering company who's going to come in and take a look at it and give us some options about uh just how to do this appropriately uh safely and make sure that there's natural light and windows and all the different things that we
018need um to have a good learning space down there. Um so that's going to be starting uh in the next week or two. uh VoIP phone conversion uh as we've uh been converting our old copper lines over to um voice over IP. Uh we're now entering the third phase that we'll be beginning with uh King Street Intermediate and that'll be starting in the next couple weeks. Uh Broadview Middle School, we're going to be hopefully this is probably going to be a summer uh summer project. Uh, but they have uh some really old cabinets and flooring that um needs to be replaced. Uh we're going to see if we can squeeze some of this out of this year's money. If not, we'll we'll be using some of next year's funds to address this. Uh South Street,
019we want to paint the gym. It needs a new coat. Uh Shelter Rock needs some blinds and window treatments, so we'll be focusing on those this year uh as we wind down. Um and ongoing is our search for more space for reach and endeavor. We had found a space. Um Rich, myself, uh Kelly Truches, our realtor, and a few other folks had gone over there to to look at the space. And I I remember um we reviewed some of the spaces in the last conversation that we had um over on West Street. Uh we weren't too excited about any of those spaces. None of them were really ideal, and we don't want another stop gap measure. So, uh we'd actually looked at a space over by the airport um that was uh pretty exciting for
020us. Um but uh as as more has sort of uh become uncovered, it doesn't look like that's going to be a feasible space either uh for a number of reasons. Um so we're continuing to talk with the realtors and look for new spaces. Um we're just limited, you know, again with our with our our budget and all the different needs we have with respect to, you know, having a a safe dedicated space, making sure there's room for the bus to come through. um it it is a sort of um you know pink unicorn of of a space that we're looking for. So we're going to keep on with the the realtors and and hopefully something will come available or we'll be able to adjust our our price point and and aim a little higher. So
021uh lastly, um drip funding. Um this is a government program. Rich, do you remember the acronym? Uh, >> I don't remember what it exactly stands for, but it's designed um, you know, for repairs that, you know, we're in the same boat as as a lot of other school districts where there's a lot of old, you know, cabinets, you know, heating systems, everything that needs to be updated. So, it's an effort to help uh, school districts just get caught up on uh, you know, deferred maintenance. Yeah, actually have it on the next slide. Um I just remembered Louisa, sorry you have your hands up. >> Yeah, quick question. Um are we going to be able to see the plans for the conversion over at Beaverbrook to see what it's going to look like? >> Sure. Yeah,
022we can do that. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> I have to be honest with the limited budget we have, it's not going to be very exciting. So it's it's knocking out some interior walls. Yeah, >> that's okay. I just like to see like what the layout is going to be and and kind of see where everybody, you know, how we're utilizing the space. >> Yeah, the bones are really going to be the uh the the same. It's mostly the interior walls and some of those offices that we're knocking out. So, four offices now become a classroom kind of thing. So, >> nice. >> We currently rent Mike from the Nolan or do we own the uh place where Endeavor and Reaches? >> That is rented. >> So, we'll be saving some money >> from that.
023Okay. >> Well, yeah. Yeah. I mean, the new space is going to be rented, too. So, you know, we'll probably just be paying it to someone else. >> Okay. So, that really is the end of this year. Um, that goes right up until June 30th. That's when we have to uh have all of our money spent. And, uh, I I'm I'm pretty confident we'll be able to do all of these and and hopefully maybe squeeze a few more little things out if we're um efficient with our budgeting. Now, this is a look ahead. This is starting July 1 to the following June 30th. This is what we're hoping to do with next year's money. Um, sorry, Wanita, you had a question. >> Thank you. Um, at the at our very last meeting, there was um
024notes on ongoing and future projects. Um, and one of them was at um Hasttown Avenue School, >> the elevator car. Is that completed? So, they're waiting on some electronics. I just had a conversation about this. The the car is there. Everything is there, but there's something with that control board that wasn't working properly. So, they had to wait for the the new electrical component to come in. And uh last conversation I had, they said it was a couple weeks out. So, everything is there, but it's still boarded up because that that last piece has to be completed. Um so, I'm really hopeful by the time we have our board meeting there in is it April? I think it's April when we have our meeting there. Everything will be they'll be ready to go and we
025can take a ride. >> They are actively working on it right now, Mike. Um >> Okay. >> You know, whatever external work that they can do and and even internal without, you know, disrupting classroom space and uh Helen Palino, the principal, she's been doing a great job of coordinating with them, you know, what they can or can't do. >> Okay. Um, also we left off last year for an ongoing and future project was uh King Street Primary, the walls update, please. >> Yeah. Uh, so I actually just had a conversation with the mayor's office about this one. Uh, they are still waiting on some additional funding. So the way the funding worked uh was it's a reimbursement. So it was about $7 million and the you you apply for the construction grant. They say yes,
026go ahead. Then you go do the work and then you send in the receipt and then they send you back 62 or 63% whatever the the reimbursement rate is on that. So as I understand it, we are are working with the delegation to find the other portion of that full payment so that we can have additional uh uh the additional part of it funded. So out of a $7 million project, you know, we're still looking for a couple million dollars to make it to make it happen. So, um I think there was some optimism that there was uh in this uh legislative session there might be the opportunity to get it. >> Okay. But we would be advocating strongly. >> Absolutely. Yes. >> Thank you. >> Absolutely. >> Um the other thing on our ongoing
027future projects was um I believe it's shelter rock the vestibule upgrade. Did that happen? >> Yeah. Rich, do you have an update on that one? We are starting work this Friday after school um at South Street School. Um the pickup drop off loop expansion. Did that happen? >> I think we're waiting to schedule that one. Uh we did go out there. we had uh with the with the subcontractor. Um Rich, I don't believe it's been scheduled yet. I know there was some some delays with BMP. >> No. And in talking to Antonio, the public works director, uh you know, he pointed out that we really need to get, you know, approval through through zoning and and um you know, so we're we're following that process. >> Okay. I know we were sort of on the
028on the edge of that one about whether we could just do it or whether we needed the approvals. So, I I yeah, I had a feeling we were gonna have to go go through the traditional channels on that one. Sometimes you can just do it, but apparently not this time. >> So, the only thing um and I'll address it to our chair, Mr. Ratchford, when we have items that are on an agenda, they need to be on the agenda for the next meeting with updates. Otherwise, we don't know how things are um are going, what's been done, what has not been done, who's been met with. So, that would be my recommendation to our chair. >> Thank you. >> That's excellent. Yeah, I've been writing this down, Wanita, because I agree a thousand%. So, thank
029you. >> All right. So looking ahead, uh 26 27 proposed projects. Um again, this is the list of things that we're planning to do starting July 1, uh with next year's money once those funds uh become available. Uh so we have a slight increase. Last year we were at about 1.3 million total. Um so we we have a very mild increase of a couple percent to about 1.4 million this year. uh and that drip funding, it's the last line here at the bottom, district repair and improvement projects. So, this is uh some separate state money uh that is going to be allocated to the districts around February or March. Um I've been in contact with some folks at the state about this one. Uh so, we think uh we we know we're going to get
030about $583,000. Um that work will probably take place a little bit at the end of this year and through the summer um to focus on our uh cabinet and floor repairs at Pemrook. Um that school has has some just really old cabinet. So we've been chipping away at this a little bit. Uh we've done I think two rooms over the last few years just as things have gotten too damaged u to to to repair. But we want to do more of a comprehensive um replacement in as many of the classrooms. I think we have 24 or 25 classrooms that are going to get um get an update. Uh and Rich, correct me if I'm wrong, this this would include an abatement. So, it has to be when the uh when school is out of session.
031It's not something we can, you know, chip away at over the weekend. It's going to have to be, you know, a full full closure. >> That's correct. >> Okay. So, that's again in that 583 that is not general fund money. That is not uh that's not money in our budget anywhere. That is coming in from the state. So, it's sort of a it's a special project money that we're gonna we're going to use to focus specifically on that project. All right, so back to the top of this list. Um, so Rich, and the these are round numbers because a lot of these you'll see some of them are oddly specific. South Street, for example, this 3340, that's actually a quote that we have sitting on our desk right now. Uh, but the rest of these
032are are estimates based on uh work that we've done around the district in the past. um you know of of a similar caliber. So um I can just go down here you know Pemrook we want to do more blind window and shade replacements across that whole school. Um so once they have you know the new blinds, new window treatments, flooring and cabinet replacements, that building's really going to feel uh like it's really been refreshed like a like almost a full renewal. It's going to feel very different when you walk in there. So we're really excited about about that. um Morris Street. Uh there there's been a a learning space inside the classroom sort of partitioned off with a uh sort of a portable wall. Um and for years we've wanted to make that into a
033permanent learning space. Um they're they're not um declining their enrollment over there. So I know they're going to need more space. So we're going to go ahead and make that an official learning space. actually going to build a a wall, move some of the copier equipment around just to make it make it uh uh better so that there's no, you know, cuz if you're in the one space now, you can hear people in the library and they use that as sort of a, you know, community space, too. So, um this will be really helpful for for the kids at Morris. Uh Rogers Park, there's a section of the locker room that uh we want to convert um to a learning space uh to add to the special ed um learning spaces over there. Um, it's
034it's an area that really isn't used and uh we feel like it would be much better used as a as a learning space for special ed. Uh, Danbury High School, uh, we want to replace all the carpets in the main office. Um, it's due for a little refresh. It's feeling a little dated and they're they're pretty worn out in there. Uh, Rogers Park, uh, we want to resurface the gym floor. Um, probably not a huge project, but um, you know, we've heard of some some folks slipping. It doesn't seem to have the grip uh that it once did. And um I think it would be good for for safety issues as well as the general aesthetic of the gym. South Street, uh this is one I'm hoping we can actually squeeze in this year. It's
035it's a little one. It's only 33,000, but uh we want to replace all the door and lock cylinders at South Street. These are these are old ones. They're not the Azilocks. Um so we could replace all the all the doors and cylind all the sorry the cylinders and the doors. Um and we have a full quote for this one already. So, we we might try to push on this one if we have anybody any money left over. Uh Westside, uh everybody knows the backside of Westside has some uh modular portable classrooms. Um they really need to be upgraded a little bit. They're they're getting a little old and um we know there's some uh parts of the floor that have gotten a little soft. Um and and there's been a few leaks in them, too.
036So, we've been sort of patching them together, but we want to do sort of more of a more of an over overhaul to to extend the life of those and uh potentially even add one or two depending on um how much money we have available and kind of our our enrollment projections for that school. Um as everybody knows, we've had that COVID bubble. It's been moving through the system and uh it's in third grade right now. Uh so, it's going to hit middle school in uh in in three years. And I want to make sure that we are prepared to handle the additional kids uh when they arrive. Um I'm sorry, I'm not sure whose hand was. I don't know if that was still from before. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Louisa, >> um uh
037about these uh temporary spaces that we we tend to make permanent. >> Yeah. >> Um what's the uh the lifespan on these? How old are they? I I just always have an issue with these these pods because they're not they're not permanent structures. I mean, they are temporary structures and we seem to always try to make them permanent and um so can you just give us an idea and maybe we need this for the district and I I just suggest this like what schools have pods, how old are they? >> Yeah. >> Um just to get an idea of what we're looking at here because these are all going to need repairs because they're they're like I said, you know, where are we at with all of them? And that's just a suggestion to the
038to the chair, but it's something that um I think we should keep an eye out for. >> I think we might do a pod update. Rich, I know South Street, West Side. Who else has pods, Rich? >> Uh Shelter Rock and West Side are about the same age. The difference is the uh the pods at Shelter Rock were built on black top where Westside it was over a dirt surface, but they did install pylons and a vapor barrier underneath. But, you know, being on black top at Shelter Rock, they've held up a lot better. >> That would be helpful if we had like a a list and just kind of the ages and where we're at with them just to get us an idea. >> Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. >> All right. So,
039yeah, 150,000 to do some repairs and upgrades on the modulars. Um, let's see. DHS uh replace the flooring in Hatter's Cafe. That's going to involve a small abatement. So, we've got $15,000 set aside for that. Uh, we're going to continue doing air quality testing uh for schools at about $150,000. You might be able to squeak in another one or two depending on the cost. Um, South Street, we want to paint the gym walls. Again, I think that's one we're hoping to be able to do this year. Um, and we also want to do the gym floor at uh at South Street. So, two smaller jobs, but um will make a big difference in that in that building. Uh Broadview, uh we want to do uh just like at Pemrook, more cabinet, countertop, and sink replacements.
040Um and there there is an abatement that's involved in that too to do some of the flooring. Uh so we've got about 200,000 set aside for Broadview uh improvements. Um and at DHS we've just gotten some pricing on uh bleacher replacements. Um some of the the bleachers no longer open and closed. The the motors are all burned out. Uh so we want to be able to upgrade some of those um in the main gym and in the auxiliary gym. So altogether that's about 344,000. And lastly, uh we just have a contingency emergency line in here. There's always things that are unexpected. Um, so we just like to have a little a little cushion just in case. And if God, you know, if if there's no emergencies, then we'll we'll put it to good use and
041find a find a a school that needs some paint or some new cabinets or or wherever. Um and again these are these are estimates based now on uh previous um previous work that we've done and just sort of our our best estimates about what these will cost. Um you know these things can move a little bit depending on the cost of materials, labor, time of year, whether there's something hidden underneath that we don't know about that needs to be addressed. There's there's all types of things that can change the price. Um but altogether it's planned for about 1.4 million. And uh again the cabinets at Pemrook are all going to be part of that state drip funding which is not it's off it's off budget. So that's another 583,000. So about $200,000 sorry about $2
042million worth of uh repairs coming up in the buildings uh specifically from Rich's department. >> All right. >> Question. I have a question. So, um, a number of places on here it looks as though it may require abatement. >> Will that cause interruption in the educational process, the workings of the building? So, um, we have Danbury High School replaced the flooring in the Hatters Cafe. So we know that that's um you know an area where job skill work is going on. >> Um is that going to shut the program down for a period of time? >> No. And we've done abatements pretty much every summer uh for the last I mean certainly since I've been here. Uh so we work closely with the principal. You know we we give them you know a sort of
043range of dates when it's going to happen. Uh we make sure there's no one in the building. Uh but it's it's almost always during a shutdown which is why um I think we've even done a few over the over the winter break, haven't we, Rich? >> Yep. With the size of the Patter Cafe abatement, I would expect that shouldn't be more than a a twoe abatement. So, uh, we could work with, uh, the principal, you know, to coordinate either at the beginning of the summer, at the end of the summer, so they don't lose the whole summer because I know, um, you know, athletics go on, you know, year round. But we we can we could work around that. >> Yeah. In the last two years, we had abatements with the um the sewing renovations,
