011for a year my junior year of uh high school. And although I didn't finish at CEK, I feel like it was a good experience because I went for physical therapy and I found out that isn't what I wanted to do. So I feel like even though it may not have turned out to be what I want to do, it gave me the knowledge of uh maybe a different career path I wanted to head on and I didn't waste many years trying to get my doctorate in physical therapy. So excellent. Yeah. Awesome. Welcome. Well, welcome. Thank you very much. Brad wanted to come Yeah. if you want to come up and talk about your two folks. Yeah.

U the superintendent recommends approving the
019design services agreement between the board and VSWC architects for the design and related construction administrative services for the athletic improvement project. Rationale The board requires the service of the design professional to provide design and related construction administration services for the project in compliance with OC sections 153.65 65 through 71. The architect was previously selected as the most qualified firm to provide these services. The architect has submitted a pricing proposal in the total amount of 548,343 to provide the design and related construction administrative services for the project which is comprised of and not to exceed the basic services fee of 366,343 and not to exceed allowance for reimburseable expenses of 30,000 and not to exceed allowance for basic optional services of 152,000 that include surveying, geotechnical engineering, and construction materials and testing and special inspections. Item
020four, the superintendent recommends approving the design services agreement with the architect for design and related construction administration services in a total amount not to exceed 548,343 in substantially the same form as attached um here too as attachment one. The superintendent also requests that the board delegate authority to the superintendent and treasurer to execute the design services agreement for the project at the satisfactory conclusion of negotiations in substantially the same form as attached hereto in attachment one. The board of education resolves as follows. The board agrees that the design services agreement with the architect for the project in the total amount not to exceed 548,343 in substantially the same form as attached here too as attachment one. The board authorizes the superintendent and treasurer to sign the design services agreement and other documents that may be
021necessary to fully execute the design services agreement on behalf of the board at the satisfactory conclusion of negotiations in substantially the same form as attached to here to as attachment one. I have a new appreciation for when he reads those. Any uh questions, comments? We obviously we chose this company. We voted on this. This is finalizing the dollar amount for that contract. All right.

We'll call the RO. Yes. Second. Okay. All right. Great. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Ber. Yes. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mr. Swagger. Yes. Mr. Benton. Yes. Resolution 25507173, a second reading of revised policies. If I
022can get a motion. I'll make the motion. I'll second it. Uh, these policies. Uh, everybody's seen these. We've seen these. Any questions on any of them? Hearing no questions, please call the role. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Resolution 25507174, second reading, rescended policies. Can I get a motion? Pardon? Can I get a motion? I'll make motion. I'll second it. Any questions on the second reading for rescending? Call the role, please. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Buer, yes. Resolution 25507175, second reading, replacement policies. Can I get a motion? So moved. Second. Any questions on the replacement? Call the role, please. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Brewer, yes. And resolution 25507176,
023second reading, new policies. I get a motion. Move. I'll second it. Any questions on the new policy? Call the role, please. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Mrs. Thomas, yes. All right. Any board comments? Anything? Moving along in committees. So, um, anything from the treasurer, superintendent that they'd like to add? The um only thing just a quick update on the budget. The state budget. The house has called an emergency session. You know, we've probably all heard the governor vetoed many items. I think 67 items out of the bill. They are going the house will be holding that session on July 21st to consider override of um three items that really impact schools. And that would be um item 55 property tax that gives extra authority to the county budget
024commission and um to not collect voted mills. The also item 65 the 20 mil floor calculation and item 66 um restricting levies. So those are important items for us and um we are monitoring those and obviously am hoping that the house does not override those vetos, but we are well positioned as a school district financially to adjust and um we would have time to make adjustments should those get overridden. Yep. And this this the reason it's always important to remain fiscally conservative as a board because legislators can change that's right on you and they can can change the funding mechanisms and that and uh to not have huge financial impacts if we continue to be fiscally conservative all the way we'll be able to withstand hopefully any of those impacts. So appreciate uh the updates
025and keeping close on that. Uh any other comments, questions? All right. If I can get a motion to adjurnn. A motion. A second. Third. All right. And I'm sorry you guys were quick. The first Mrs. Tim's got a plane to catch. I got a truck to pack. Say that. Yeah. Mrs. Thomas. Yes. Mrs. Ber. Yes. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mr. Benton. Yes. Mr. Swagger. Yes. All right. Thank you everybody. Have a good evening. We
