Track reservicing project on April the 8th. Board approved the track resurfacing project. Uh since the project timeline was established, the work originally scheduled to begin June 16th prior to the start of construction. Central Paving bid checked on construction management secured the next most responsive bidder which is American
009Paving upon evaluation of the track services determine additional work was necessary so uh I got that call on Thursday American paving when we switched to them they was still within a total project scope so it wasn't going to cost you anymore for that um on my discussion with Mike Roberts from Tecton when they took the down to the base. Uh it was very wet in certain parts of the track. They took off that binding surface or down to the binder. Um and originally I and I am tonight requesting up to $50,000 additional funding from the rainy day fund to complete the project in a timely manner. However, um part of that 50 was going to be put into rock. We didn't have to do that. So they put they took it off. dried out real
010quick and so they put the binding surface on today. I think they'll be back tomorrow to paid. Um so that that'll get the first stage where they they'll put the asphalt down and pave and then you wait at least two weeks if not a month and then they'll come back and put the rubberized service on and paint it. Um so that's progress on the track. It's it's moving forward. Um so I'm I'm requesting the 50,000. I'm hoping we don't need it, but it's there if need be. And then uh finally in this category, Sarah Days, the director of dining services, has provided meal pricing worksheet that's used to determine meal prices for the 2526 school year, making recommendation that no adult meal prices increase.
