001Okay, good evening everyone. Uh, adequate notice has been given. Uh, please stand for the pledge. I alian 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. >> Okay. Can I get a motion to approve the agenda? >> I move to approve the agenda as posted. >> Second. >> All those all those in favor? I >> I. >> Any opposed? >> All right. Uh public comment. Do we have any public comments this evening? >> None. Okay. >> We'll keep it going. Uh all right. We will then go to uh our first presentation for the budget adoption, John. And John, while you're getting yourself ready, I'm gonna say very nice things about you. Now, [laughter] for for those
002in the room or at home uh that don't know, this is this is John's uh last official meeting as CFO for the district. And John, I think just on behalf of the board that uh we've just enjoyed working with you immensely over the past four years. You have been a tremendous advisor and uh good steward of the district's funds. And um we know it is not goodbye. we but we uh look forward to continuing to you know see what happens next with you and and staying in touch. But again, just really want to say thank you on behalf of of the board and everyone. >> Thank you for your kind words. Um as I've told others, uh this was kind of an unexpected adventure in my career. Uh and uh it's been a highlight of
003my career. So I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience and working with the boards here. You know, I really applaud the work you do because you lead well. And with that, I'll be happy to talk about the budget. [laughter] >> We're on pins and needles. >> So, we made at the last meeting uh in midMay, we presented a preliminary budget. Um and tonight we're turning that into a proposed budget um for next year. There were some minor changes made to the budget, not material too much in nature but uh basically corrections that uh either we missed at the time for the preliminary budget or came up. So we've made some minor corrections that uh amount to about uh $63,000 of changes increased spending in fund one and about $197,000 of decreased spending in fund four which was
004a duplicate entry. Um, and we've also uh added a number of increased or improved labels on the capital improvement projects and we consolidated the technology improvement plan at $675,000 into one grouping and added some um more descriptors to that as well. So, I'm not going to spend a lot of time going back through what we went through the last time. We'll see if we can't advance this. It jumped more than one slow. So the budget has been uh prepared properly as it's required by statute and policy and it's ready for board adoption. Um it is different than prior years primarily because of the propo spending that we're introducing as well as some increased capital spending that's budget funded uh for a variety of projects. Uh we have shifted revenue from fund one to fund four
005to accommodate that increased capital project funding out of fund four and you'll see the fund balance decline. It still remains in a very strong position. um for the end of uh when we get to June of 27. These are those changes that I mentioned just momentarily ago. Um the budget is balanced. Um everything else in this page uh you've seen before. We have reasonably estimated our revenues. Uh our I think we've done well projecting our expenditures. uh you know in this process we're trying to foretell the future really about 15 months in advance of when it's going to happen or reach year end next um and we all have a cloudy crystal ball so it's not perfect so actual results will vary somewhat but we're pretty good at estimating our costs I mean 80% of
006our fund one spending is pay and benefits very scheduled and programmed and except for turnover uh it's more apt to go down and to go up. Uh when it comes to supplies and services, those are well programmed as well and mostly repetitive and we pretty well know what they're going to be. So, we're pretty good at uh balancing out funds one and two. Fund three is totally predictable uh very scheduled uh type of expenses. And fund four uh with our capital projects u we're making reasonable estimates on with them. Some things that can affect that is timing. You know, whether things happen sooner or later than we anticipate may shift costs from this year to the following year or even bring them forward a year. Uh but I think we've done a good job programming
007these particular projects. Um as we go into the future though I mean some of these projects uh that are in this year are just partially funded this year and rely on funding in the subsequent years as well. We uh do tie our budget to the strategic plan the three goals of that plan and here are some of those connections and we presented these at our last meeting as well. I'll just run through them. This is goal one. It's how we help people feel safe in our area, in our schools. Uh, strategic plan two, how we help them grow as learners, some of our investments that are making that happen. And goal three, how we support the well-being of our learners in head and heart. Revenue snapshot. Uh, overall revenue inflows are 130.2 million. Again, the
008big piece there that's unusual is the sale of bonds. Voters authorized 135 million in April. We anticipate selling about 45 million of PAR bonds uh and expect a uh receipt or proceeds from that with premium of closer to 47 million. uh our expenditures. Um we've also at 136 million uh primarily causing a reduction in fund one and spending about $45 million of that propo uh funds. Um the other two million of those receipts will really go to reimburse costs that we've already made in the current year uh for consulting fees primarily. Fund balances uh we'll end up the year with slight decline uh overall but mostly in fund one. Operating fund balances uh also show that decline. As you can see, we've been as a percentage of spending. Um we've been in the mid60s. We're
009going to push down in the mid50s. Uh we have policy that it says we'll stay above 25%. And as a matter of recommendation, I would stay try to stay above 35%. But we're in safe territory here with this change. This is about the go debt that we expect to issue. Um we have new existing debt that's paying down and will be paid off uh in two and a half years. And then we have the new debt that we expect to issue in about two or three tranches with the first one being in the neighborhood of 45 million. Mr. Nord may make other decisions from that, but I'll let him make those decisions and discuss them with you. Um the Propo O as you know is $135 million authorization. Um and that's what the voters have
010allowed us to issue. We cannot issue more than that in par bonds. Uh we can realize more than that in proceeds if they sell at a premium and that is likely to happen. Um just the way the market is right now. um first uh trunch of 45 million is probably going to happen this fall. Here are the propo cost estimates as we understand them today. These have not changed since they were first developed in February. Um we are in the design development phase right now and uh in by August we will have revised numbers. Uh at that time I would hope to see some of the contingency numbers resolve either uh move into cost of construction or eliminate themselves in some way. We also have the budget funded projects. Uh the CHF performing arts improvements
011which are mostly noise and HVAC related. The ADSC field improvements to complete that project and the WMS field. Again, these are total cost. Not all of them are facilitated within this budget but span into the following year as well. in our capital purchases. Uh these are the projects that uh exceed half million dollars. Um in Glen Ridge, we've got 28 million program there, 8 million into the CHSCT wing, 9 million for Gayfield, uh three and a half million for the bridge campus. Uh and you can see the others that are there, but those are the major expense that we have. Um within the budget document we have a message as required and all the various numbers in a number of views uh so that you can hopefully uh gain an understanding of not only future
012spending but how it compares to past years. And uh with that it's ready for board approval. Um be happy to answer any questions. Um the financial position of the districts remain strong and u again I'm pleased that uh to tell you those messages. U we're not in a crisis mode at all. We're in a strong mode and I hope that continues. Be happy to take any questions or comments. Can we get a motion first to bring to the floor? I move to approve [clears throat] the budget for the 2026 to 2027 fiscal year, including expenditures sourced from federal programs as presented. >> Okay. Any questions for John? >> I'll just say in case anyone's watching this and curious, we had a conversation about this budget two weeks ago. I don't have any more questions. Ask
013my men. I did have some questions by email and I hope I I think I answered them. So, but be happy to discuss them further as well. >> So, so I was a question via email. Most of my questions again were answered two weeks ago in the preliminary budget session. Um I just asked for a little bit of followup on what those additional items were. So, thank you for explaining the um additions to the summer camps and uh the student services that were not in there before. So, good to have clarity there. Um yeah, I I don't think I have any further questions either. >> Okay, any other questions for John? All right, then we'll take a vote. So um all those in favor of approving the budget for the 2627 fiscal year including the
014expenditure source from federal programs as presented say I. >> Any opposed? All right. Thank you John and your team. >> Budget is approved. >> It absolutely is a team effort. you know, got a great team in the business office and all the building and program and department leaders uh do a great job managing their budgets and making their requests and doing them in a prudent way. So, absolutely, we agree. Um, all right. Well, uh, John, I got to stick around. So, we'll now move to the, uh, module school facility at Fontine. Uh, as you know, we've been working on a um project to establish a modular temp uh school facility on Fontbond campus. That's been our um preference uh due to its location uh in relationship to Glen Ridge attendance area. Um we've been having
015success with Warsu developing an agreement. We're not quite there yet. Um uh in the short term we are working on an access agreement and uh we've got the it's been they developed it, we redlined it, now they've redlined that and so we've got the another version back that uh is being reviewed. I think we're very close to having that signed uh hopefully in the next few days. Um then we'll be working towards a lease agreement which I would expect to be presented to you in August. uh that lease agreement then will uh cover all the terms and conditions of our occupancy at that location. Um we've been working with Mobile Modular who is out of Chicago although they I think they may be headquartered in um California but their regional office is in Chicago and
016had numerous conversations over time. We started the conversations with them because they were recommended to us by our consultants uh Perkins and Will who had seen their work on various projects. Um and uh they are a turnkey operation. Um which is what drew us drew us to them initially. Um and we haven't found somebody else that was willing to do that full scope of work. Um, in the meantime, the project or our precise location at Fontbon has moved around. First it was in the southeast corner, then it was in the southwest corner. Now it might be in the south central area. Um, and uh so as we have tried to develop this, we have not reached a a final conclusion on uh some of the cost. I think we know the cost of the structures
017themselves. Uh there's a price uh when they deliver it, which is on my memo there of 1.3 million. There's monthly rent and then there is a uh charge upon return when they disband the site. The site those costs are fairly figured out. Uh the costs that are not fully figured out are the site prep cost and some other uh amenities that we may add to the project. Um now that we're working with um the potential of demolishing buildings on site, uh that will probably be done through the the permitting and the project documents will probably be be developed by Paragon. Uh BSI will oversee the demolition itself and either BSI or um mobile module will be responsible for some of the utilities and grading. uh but that is still to be determined. So we do
018have estimated costs for mobile modular uh for some of those services but again the exact scope of work will finet. Um ultimately we have uh worked through this and decided that it that it fit under our policies using cooperative uh purchasing and uh have worked through a cooperative purchasing agency known as Sourcewell. They're located out of Minnesota, Minnesota. And in that process, we actually were able to draw these rents down by about $114,000 uh through that process. Um so we're caught ourselves at a meeting now in June and not another meeting till August and a need to get this project advanced in the meantime. So, we're proposing to you that uh you authorize us to work with mobile modular to negotiate and finalize and execute an agreement pending resolution of the various outstanding scope of
019work items uh and review appropriate reviews by legal counsel. Um and allow us to make this move forward. Um I think our goal is to get the lease done by August. uh demolition done this fall and these this project uh begin coming on site in like January and to be fully complete and set up by middle of May so that when teachers are exit exiting for next summer they'll be able to see the facility and start moving in and understand how it all operates uh not not have to wait till summer break is over before they see the facility. So that's the plan. uh mobile modular understands that timeline and is a and they don't have an issue with meeting it. So we'll be happy to answer any questions. >> Yeah, thank you for that
020overview. Uh can I get a motion to bring this to the floor? >> Uh I [clears throat] move to authorize the superintendent and CFO to negotiate, finalize, and execute an agreement with mobile modular pending resolution of outstanding scope of work items and reviews by legal counsel. Okay. Any questions for John? >> Just because this is a it's not a real robust market as we've talked about, could you just explain a couple of the extra steps you took to ensure yourself that this was, you know, the right people to work with? I know you did some checking around. Just stay on with that. >> Well, the first thing we did is went searching for another turnkey operation. And there's plenty of people that'll sell us buildings, but uh and bring them to site, but actually assemble
021them the way we need them uh and fully prepare the site and connect them. Uh that's unusual. So, uh this company has a national presence. uh they do this nationwide and and uh we then went searching for references. Um we've had conversations with uh I think three different school districts, one in Illinois, one in Ohio, one in Florida about their experiences. Um one in Florida in particular, we had a Zoom meeting. It was lasted for quite a while uh from a massive district uh down there that that has used these folks for years and puts up campuses and takes them down and moves them around and it's quite quite amazing what they do. The other districts are much smaller scale and they've only used them once or twice uh for building projects very similar to
022what we're doing. Um all of them had uh very satisfactory outcomes with uh mobile modular. Um the u one in Florida in particular um it's unbelievable what how big that operation is and how much how often they move these around and rehab them. But um they gave us all good advice and and satisfactory marks from them. Uh then we also began uh looking through uh ways to control our costs and that's when we ended up on the cooperative side of things talking through cost with source and um all of that has led to today. >> Thank you for doing that due diligence. Um, and I think just one clarification, um, when you refer to turnkey here, you're talking about the site prep, those things that you just mentioned, the connections, not necessarily like a homeowner
023who's like a turnkey vacation home and it's all fully furnished, right? So, can you talk a little bit about like the the furnishing situation that we have? >> So, the plan will be to uh furnish these with furniture out of Glenidge. We'll move Glenidge furniture in there and it will stay for the duration of the uh modular campus. Uh when we when Glenidge is fully re renovated and rebuilt and ready for reoccupancy, we'll buy new furniture of that facility. Um when Marramac then exits their facility and occupies the temporary facility, we'll probably dispose of their furniture and they'll just use continue with the Glenidge stuff. When Marramac's ready to reoccupy, we'll put new furniture in that building. Um, and ultimately then the modular campus will be disbanded and any of our assets will be disposed
024of at that time. >> Thanks. Just a freezing thing for >> Yeah, I think uh, you know, when we're going to have new buildings, we need to have new furniture and I I don't think we'd want anything less. The only thing I'll say is I I just really appreciate the thoughtfulness around the timeline and getting this done by the spring so that Glenidge, the Glenidge community can really have some familiarity with it before heading into the summer all that and I think that will help their transition a little bit too. So, I just wanted to make that comment. Um, anyone else? Oh, sorry. Go ahead, Chris. >> Along those lines, because you said that, um, yeah, thank you again for all you're doing around this. This is an exciting thing that we um have found
025a company that's um able to do such a great like fast but also just really efficient work in terms of turnkey. But I'm excited about the timeline too because it allows the parents by then, you know, they'll actually be able to see the physical space even if they can't go in inside. I'm sure you guys will think about like getting them how quick you can get them in there. But it's great that it'll be there in that summer. you know, they'll be able to see that it's there and then on online, I'm sure by then we'll have a bunch of great info about what it is and you'll have all this information. So, I just um appreciate the fact that you you're thinking about May in terms of, you know, so that all of that
026beginning thoughts and comfort level can start happening. So, I thank you for doing that. >> I should mention that one of the the scope of work items we're still trying to determine is covered walkways between the facility and over to Dunham. Um that's not in these numbers yet. Uh but uh we're exploring that with them and how to make that happen >> because kids and staff will be going between buildings every day. >> Yeah, exactly. So yeah, with ice, you know, yeah, we that's something that Yeah, that makes perfect sense. So great. >> Yeah, me go ahead. >> Um thank you, John. And thank thank you like Erin said for all the due diligence and I imagine Yeah, this is a small market of companies that do this sort of work. So, um, sort of
027similar to what Chris was saying and I had some questions and I thought you answered them really well, but I think for maybe this purpose, it's good in case there are people listening at home to know um, kind of how you're thinking through, you know, some people might think, oh, these are modular trailers that are, you know, each classroom is going to be in their own trailer and to go to the bathroom, they've got to go outside and that. I wonder if you could talk a little bit about kind of the configuration like you shared with me um about yeah what kind of that experience will be like for the kids. >> So these will be in pods uh in a typical pod will have uh eight classrooms and restrooms uh and hallways between uh
028down the middle of the units or the pod. So there'll be three classrooms on each side for grade levels. There'll be restrooms and then there'll be two more classrooms for specials. Um, and so they can operate within that unit. Currently, that fits our model very well. We're currently three classrooms per grade. So, we can put two grades per pod. We'll have three of these pods and there'll be a separate pod that will have offices and additional support services within them. Um, so they'll be structured that way. They're very these are long modular units that they bring in on trailers on wheels and then connect them all together to provide that classroom space. So, um nobody has to leave the the building the safety of a building to get to the restroom. >> Thank you. And
029then since um you know we're all fairly fresh off the storm from last year um could you talk a little bit about sort of uh what you're thinking about or what the team is thinking about for a storm shelter um and yeah whether they're going to fly away or not. >> Well, you know I mean it does seem like we have had some stronger storms in recent years. Um, these will be tied down like um so that they just can't blow away, but you know, they're not going to uh if we if they were to take a direct hit from a tornado, they're going to suffer quite a bit of damage. Uh the Dunham Center is is a very sturdy building and uh that's the best place we could shelter people in uh for severe
030storms. Um so that's you know going to be used as the gym, the cafeteria and the storm shelter when needed. um for typical rains, average rains, storms and stuff, I think they'll be safe right in their own classrooms. >> So, what I'm hearing is we're going to have active emergency preparedness plans developed that will center around the Dunham Center, which has been a a building there for many, many years. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Our safety and security gentleman, Mike Parkinson, is has been actively discussing these with us. >> And I would imagine the district in Florida is mindful with hurricanes and other, you know, they're not probably um if they've used them for a long time and in many places, chances are they've experienced some weather there as well. So, >> for sure, >> and
031yes, to your point, sort of just thinking around, I'm sure that the team is also, like you said, developing sort of safety and security. Um, I don't know if there's going to be a perimeter around the facility. It seems like, >> right, we plan to fence the perimeter of the uh the modular school facility and playground areas. We'll fence that in. Um >> there's going to be we won't be fencing the parking lot area though. I mean, that's going to be open. We'll fence the rest of it. >> Okay. Thank you so much. >> Anyone else? All right. Um all those in favor say I. Any opposed? All right, it passes. Next up is student ready uh success ready student assessment. And can I get a motion on that? Next page. >> I move to
032approve the district's participation in the success ready student assessment pilot. [laughter] Hang in there, guys. It's the last one of the year. Uh, all right. Any questions? Any comments? >> All right, then. Um, all those in favor of approving the district's participation in the success ready student assessment pilot say I. >> Any opposed? All right, it passes. Consent agenda. >> I move to approve consent agenda items 5.2 through 5.10. >> I second that. >> Good. Good. All those in favor? >> Any opposed? Great. This is excellent. [laughter] >> I got it. I got it. I'm back on board now. >> All right. Uh, board communications. I will start out by saying I should have said this at the beginning, but I do want to recognize that Pam uh Pam is not here tonight. It is
033an excused absence. >> We're we're upping our governance game here by noting that. >> No. >> All right. Um CRSWC Leo or Ben? Has there been a CRSWC meeting recently that you'd like to report on? >> Sure. >> Oh, okay. >> Uh, we had the um the first post-election uh meeting of the CRSWC. Um, it was a not in the normal quarterly sequence partly to to deal with the damage that was done by a storm um a few months back. Um we also had the uh you know election of the officers and um we approved this um new scoreboard or um swimming touch sensor system for swim meets um that was uh you know there was some discussion about that and it's an item that's primarily used by the school district. the center is a
034joint school district and city facility and there had been some discussion about how to think about that but ultimately we concluded as a group and I'm glad we did that um you know that partnership which is basically a money-saving partnership it's a dual use arrangement depends on it being fully utilizable by the school district for the school district part of those tasks so we're spending money to on something that the city maybe doesn't need. Ultimately, we're getting this dual use facility that is creating greater value for our community than um it would otherwise. And um that was the conclusion and I'm really glad we got there. >> Great. And thank you guys for your work on that because that is that is important and it's worth noting congratulations to Leo who is president of the
035CRSWC now. So yes. Um, moving on. Uh, wellness. Chris and and Aaron. Was there report on the >> No, wait. No. No. Great. >> We'll keep it going. >> Equity. All right. Yes, we did have our last meeting of the um school year on May 20th um and reviewed the survey results of the the staff survey around um interest in different types of um affinity spaces. Um and then also talked about the uh plans for professional development in the year to come. um with you know how that ties to our the goal one initiatives etc. So um I think and also to seal as well. So um looking forward to actually uh we there will be a new um equity coordinator coming on to uh join Dr. P in leading the equity committee next year.
036So and thanks uh Dr. Daniels for his service. So >> great. Uh me the tech the tax study committee. >> Yes, we missed Ben. Ben was excused but absent. [laughter] >> Uh [laughter] >> I brought my note. My doctor's note. I brought it. >> Yeah. Um no, it was uh it was like the second to last week of school, I think. Um, and you know that's I was very grateful for all the teachers and staff that were there. I know that you know in the middle of May that's not a you know at after school that's a hard time. Um but they were there doing the work and um they're doing some really cool stuff. So they're you know they're split up as you know into groups of kind of the model of instruction group
037and the group that's dealing with AI. Um the group that's tackling the model of instruction um is working on a couple of things. One being kind of parent facing. So how are we explaining our tech use um and what kind like are examples that we can show to parents um of the uh tech use that that's happening in the schools um to kind of enhance the transparency and communication. Um, and then something and there's kind of discussion around how to make that, you know, is that like an infographic with, you know, different text parts and videos perhaps on a website, things like that, which I think is cool. Um, and then there's the teacher facing kind of component. So, some teachers are working on like a playbook of kind of questions to ask themselves around
038whether or not um certain tools or technology is useful or um what just thinking about what is kind of enhancing the project with technology. So, um that's neat. And then the AI group is working on um kind of a decision tree about AI. And so when to use AI and I think um and I can talk more can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the decision tree could be is for teachers initially to think about kind of how to help coach their students about AI use. So, but also kids are going to have to kind of go through a decision tree as well about whether or not to use AI. But um and then kind of categorizing assignments or tasks into three categories like red, yellow, green. Um red being obviously like we
039expect no AI use on this thing. Yellow being we might have this project be assisted by some AI. um and green being maybe a little bit um I don't want to use like freer because that doesn't sound right but an expectation that AI will be probably used in the project. Um so there's kind of discussion around should there be a list of like acceptable AIs like which large language models we should be using. um and is this a poster that goes up in classrooms? Those sorts of things. So, it's really interesting, very important stuff. Um and I'm excited to see where it goes. >> Thank you. Uh Chris, uh SSD governance council. >> Yes, Monday was our um final meeting for SSD governing council. Um it was a tough one. um lots of people in
040attendance um trying to there are lots of passionate people around you know what's going on with SSD and um we did pass the fiscal year 27 budget um and you know that's a positive thing you know I it's not easy to have to make the cuts that you know SST has to make um for anyone so you know it's a heavy heart that you know you have to make cuts that are going to affect people's, you know, take-home pay and that's really rough. Um, so one thing that came out of that meeting, um, is that we know that SSD is going to be making some asks for some help. Um, there they just don't have a choice, otherwise they won't be able to continue to serve the needs of students. So, um, that's where they're
041at. And, um, yeah, the other things we they discussed were, um, the CIP, the the three goals of the CIP, and that was great. Um we also um tried very hard to elect another board of education special district board of education member. That didn't happen again. It did not. So what's great about this is there's this process with with the governing council. We elect that their board of education members and there's a process, you know, a set of rules around the way that happens. And on my four years on the governing council, it's happened twice now where we've had to take votes different in multiple different meetings. This is the first time where it's now going to a third meeting. Um so we luckily the president of the governing council suggested there is going to
042be a subcommittee created to go over their rules around electing people and maybe some making some new bylaws, etc. >> Is that because you need 50% plus one and they can't get there? >> Yeah. Yeah. And it's >> does someone get eliminated like off the bottom? >> No. It's very interesting and again it's it's worth looking at because we come to this so many times because what happens is you go around the table. There's >> there's a roll call. [laughter] Good. >> Yeah. Come with me. Be my like attendant at the subcommittee meetings because um it's fascinating. >> What's that? >> Okay. No. Yeah. Let's let's chat. [laughter] Um, no, it's it's you go around a roll call and you know there's 22 partner districts sitting at that table, right? And we, you know, there's
043there's been, you know, you you have stuff in, you know, um, pre before the meeting, you read about the candidates, etc. At the meeting, there's pre- determined questions that they answer. We can't sort of we Yeah, I think in most of them, you can't even ask anything off the cuff. It has to be predetermined. Anyway, you go around the table, if everyone votes a certain way, you just vote again. Everyone votes the same way again, you just vote again. Yeah. Three times in a row, everyone, nobody changed their vote. Well, guess what? We didn't get to ask them any more questions. Anyway, it's it's a problematic system. And I'm happy to be a part of making sure that we get this done in a way because guess what? The board of election of the special
044district is really critical more than ever. So, um, yeah, I'm going to put some time into helping them make sure we make a streamlined, you know, um, election process. >> Yeah, >> thank you for that. Thank you for your work on that, Chris. It really is important. Uh, and then Ben, parks and wreck. >> Parks and wreck. Um, yeah, it was kind of a couple interesting things. So, first of all, the tennis uh, the tennis center lighting is going to be replaced in the next couple weeks or at least in in phases. Um I don't know for those of uh both the school the district and community that use the the tennis which is you know it's very used facility the lighting is like you know not the best. So it's it's going to be
045great. Um uh the other thing is that the the Hanley House as if most of you may know uh is one of our great historic treasures in Clayton. Uh it is being reopened kind of um not full full-fledged. has had a lot of um challenges with the building um and but they've been able to fund certain kind of critical ones and looking to do more in the future. Uh but one of the things that was mentioned is there used to be a school district Hanley House kind of connection. There was some involvement between the district uh and the facility. I was thinking be just interesting to bring that up in case we want to revisit that now that it's opening. Um uh and then lastly um let's see there. Oh yeah. So uh in the
046Shaw Park former ice rink space which is always uh always on the agenda. Uh they have it partially funded. Um it's been has passed city council. So the project is greenlighted. However, there's still some budget or fundraising to be done. I was not aware I I was always under the impression that the city had the budget to do the whole project. Apparently not. but so be it. So may take a little while for that timeline to actually be uh realized. Thank you. >> Great. Um I think that's it. So uh on behalf of the board, I hope everyone has an excellent summer.
