I just wanted to wish everybody a healthy and safe uh summer coming up. And just encouraging parents to continue to look at our Facebook and website for
017updates as we're starting the new uh school year. I know it's hard to think about everything uh coming up already, but um school supplies, uh maybe changes in policies, handbooks, all that kind of stuff, you'll get out in the mail um from Crawford Central School District and also posted up on our website. Any other public board comments? Um, yeah. Whenever you and I first, uh, we went over to the MASH complex and looked at the lift station and then you apparently was talking to Kevin Sprung at the Vote Tech there and came up with a sewage agreement that apparently, and I hate to say it this way, but it seems like somebody along the way found a way to put Crawford Central taxpayers on the hook for another pump station at the uh, wreck complex,
018and the Votech is tied into it. Um it'd be nice if this could be emailed out to all the um board members, but yeah, checking with the Meville area authority, what it appears is that at one point in time, the VOTE had a sewer line running down in front of the school, the MASH complex, and tapping into the main line. And uh when they did the addition, somebody came up with this bright idea. instead of us running a line parallel to that, installing a manhole out and joining the lines that for whatever reason, Crawford Central would put in a lift station, pay for the line from the vote to go to that um lift station and then also service the um Mark complex there. And um I don't know who's even paying the electric bill
019on it, but we just got on the hook for $40,000 for the lift station at the MASH complex. And now it looks like we have, you know, potentially another $40,000 thing. And I mean, there's just no end to this. And legally, can the board be bound to something that does not benefit the school district? I mean, this here contract to me, I think this needs revisited and say, you know what, we have no vested interest in that lift station. We're not using it. Um, I I could see that. Okay, maybe there is a tradeoff at some point that hey, we're going to take and and use this line. We're abandoning your use of it or we're telling you can't use it anymore, but there's got to be some type of a life cycle to this
020contract that we're not forever binding. Send it to me. I'll take a look at it. What the but anyways, there's always a way to terminate a contract, but I'd have to see the contract soon. Right. Right. I I not understand. But like I say, just if there is no benefit, it it just don't seem I'm not getting a warm and cozy feeling about why this contract was ever entered into. So that that's where I'm at with it. So yeah, it'd be nice if that could be emailed out to all the board members. I get it out to them. Thank you. That's it. Um we can get it to you, take a look at it, and just see if there's any it can be done. Um any other comments? Executive session for person. Okay. Um I
021need to announce an executive session immediately after this for personnel. Is there a motion for adjournment? Is there a second? Second. Monica. All in favor please say I. Post same. Meeting is hereby journed.
