001we do have a quum present so we will begin the meeting of the herly independent school board on this special meeting as we start if you would remove your cover and let's pray together father God we thank you for the day and all that you richly blessed us with we thank you for uh the ability to sit here and discuss the school's business dear God help us to make the good decisions and help us to put you first in all that we do father God forgive us because we do fall short of your glory with our sin it's in Christ's name that we pray amen did anyone sign for a public forum no sir all right moving along then uh action items discuss and take possible action on a resolution authorizing issuance of herly Independent
002School District Maintenance tax note series 2025 providing for the payment of such maintenance note specifying the terms and features of said maintenance note and resolving other matters incident related to the issuance sale payment and delivery of said maintenance note okay so the foundation has gifted the amount to cover this maintenance note and I think everyone should have the the documents here we have Mr suan here who represents government capital if you have any questions about it it's a a $400,000 maintenance note plus interest in PES with an or an annual payment October payment of $3,755 189 Mr do you have a list of what all this maintenance not does cover so that we can go over this one more time please okay so some some of the larger expenditures um or the turf for the
003softball baseball field uh the replacement of the the worn areas uh Chromebooks Gem Gem walls the um parking lot concrete especially starting with the front the bus lane um Furniture uh office furniture chairs repl uh these worn chairs included teacher chairs we had talked about Athletic Field security upgrades with cameras on the baseball softball field and in the a bar uh ice machines and then we have kind of a wish list once we get all this taken care of as far as like carports for some of the cars out out there at the bus bar I think it's about it there may be a few more things written on the board but those are kind of down at the bottom after all this stuff is taken care of any questions thus far would you like
004to do you have a presentation prepared are you here for Co are you here for questions questions mostly um I know a couple of things that I did tell mrby and David as we were putting this together may be important to the board just keep in mind this is very very very different from a bond so take the bond hat off um you after the first payment on this you can pay this off on a payment date without penalty um if you want to refinance it down the road you can do that right now the common wisdom is the market going to improve so if you're going to take this the whole four years you can refinance it it's very simple and very easy um we'll we'll monitor these two so if there's a point
005that there's a fiscal benefit to the school district we'll call you and say hey after issuance cost you'll say this do you want to do it and it's just it's a resolution here's your new payment um other than that it's pretty pretty straightforward it's just it's a more refined version of a finance contract when when would the availability of funds be uh so if we can get if we can get signatures today and I can take them back to your office we're actually going to try to fund youall early um we originally set the funding date for next week um but if we can get them back early we'd like to try to get you all funded this week this will just fund your general fund and then you can take it and use it
006as cash which you know cash is king So if you got cash in hand you might be able to negotiate lower price second so we have a motion to approve the U maintenance tax note with a second is there any further discussion comments questions all right all in favor 70 take it now she's going to go stamp it and give it to you go all right second item on the agenda is consider and take possible action on Turf proposals uh we've got three in I think you have two in your packet one from Carter construction um one from um forever lawn and one that you just received in a little um pamplet from field turf um you know we've met with all these they've come out here they they've looked at what we've got they've
007got ideas for how to improve the warant areas um the the target is to just essentially replace what's the terracotta color what's brown out there um so it would replace the entire infield of softball U around all the bases and pites Mound of the uh baseball yes not the baseball field just softball fieldof um so uh Carter construction gave a quote you know they're the ones that did it originally here's a sample of what what they left um probably just that pass grass here's another sample from uh this is field Turf out of abalan that is the that is the estimate you just got stapled um and then Matt will present not this Matt that Matt will present us his forever L kind of a different different set up so this they all try to
008price the same thing so what what you're looking at is really um trying to compare apples to app so that they're all all kind of B on the same project rather than um I know the the taret one does have extra options in it if you want to add this and that and this um you know that it just gets gets more more over budget for all the addition like with Carter I know they're hard to get a hold of right when you need I don't know how many times they've been out I mean they answered the call when we call but what's like what are they are they on the ball about it honestly I've never really dealt with Carter but I can tell you hella ain't it CU they never answer they if
009they do answer they we're we're still trying to get things fixed on the football field yeah and I I knew that so that was helis that's who put it in the football field but I think Matt from wanted to talk to y'all um he's got a sample of his product over there um you know they're all a little different so I mean what what you're essentially purchasing is not only product service being nice to have it as easy as that that was really F so thanks for having me Jesse first things first uh we're passing around some samples Jesse said hey uh you know grass is grass uh from turfy that is we don't feel that's the case uh big time softball dead I absolutely know that's not the case because we play ball all
010across the country uh coach When I Was Here out visiting with them were really proud of entering the sports field Market uh we got we just completed a couple weeks ago IMG Fields out in Tampa Florida flew down there for that um our team is here in West Texas people are like who are you we haven't heard of you and that's because most of the time for the last 12 to 15 years really 12 years for me my wife's uh been in the business for 15 but for the last 12 years we have basically been the subcontractor for most of the companies that you're talking to today right so what happens is we're all we're here right I have U an office in aing we have an office in St Angelo and I'm building a
011new facility just to house our turf operation right outside of anon where I live uh grew up here in Sweetwater graduated down the road from Highland and have made you know perect kind of my life we built most of the playgrounds for municipalities and schools from all the way from ranking all the way down to Winter and St Angelo and all those areas I could give you a million superintendents to talk to I tell uh like I told Coach and everybody here I said um Sports fields are super easy so like well why haven't you been in it it was really simple like uh the sports field world is different Texas and anywhere else right we're in the mecca of high school football so when this uh product came to Market that was the first
012like everybody saw big Square footages said hey who what young man that grew up in West Texas doesn't want to build a football field but the reality of it is it was a cutro industry we could build a playground the size of your out here and quite frankly profit three times more than you could on a football right they're just different things and they were highly highly highly technical installs so that's where I made my name I uh my first year of doing this uh when I left the pharmaceutical industry reading I sold that company I said my wife was CFO for forever line Inc when it just first started uh almost 20 years ago she was one of their first employees when we got graduated from Anum and uh went to albuquer New Mexico
013that's where she found Brian and Del Cary that were one of the original dealers for astro turf when astro turf went bankrupt they started the forever line line and still still today they're the only privately owned turf company in the US we have 150 dealers across the uh the nation 150 million in gross revenue and we have decided in the last three years we're going to enter the sports field Market everybody says why it was everything the coaches are telling us hey soon as we say we're going to build a facility they bring in the bush from Dallas Houston San Anton they built the thing and then you see taots when you try to get somebody out to maintenance it or opening game you want somebody here to get the field ready before homecoming there's
014just nobody right I heard somebody mention there's somebody in Hing there's nobody in Hing there are some reps that live here and these Big Field companies have done a great job of hiring old coaches and people that are connected in the industry so they go around and pitch them and that's really it what I'm super excited about is that not only are we able to give you products that guys I could go into the signs and blow your mind but you would glaze over what's most important to me is being able to service our local communities uh part of your proposal is for the first two years everything we built comes with a 2-year uh labor warranty so if we have a busted seam at a board at a perimeter where a board pops or
015come loose you know you call we come out we fix it you don't write us a check what's also included in your quote which is I think maybe the most value here is we'll come out twice a year take care of that thing maintenance it fix any seams any issues you have redistribute infield do those kind of things you don't you don't pay a maintenance uh trip or a fee for those first two years for us um again my guys most of my turf guys are based out of aene and Hansen they travel all over West Texas from basically El Paso L all this area stuff is the territory that we own exclusively um that's kind of it I went through your field I know exactly how to build it I feel confident I would
016be the only uh person trying to sell you something in this uh situation right here that's personally installed 2 million square fet of turf with his own hands and on his own knees so nothing really I can't uh The Field's super super easy for me I think we can do it fast I told Coach I think we can get in be in and out in 8 to 10 days um the baseball field there's some issues there with the mound that's a little bit out of control uh that's something I really want you guys when you're looking over your quotes trying to figure out what's apples apples make sure that's included most Turf companies want to stay away from the problem areas like mounds and things like that uh but that's included cuz that's what you
017wanted um what question do you have for me you say you came out of service of two years two years yes sir here's the reality on uh y'all y'all's field it's at the end of life uh you probably got I guess in 13 14 years something like that those infields are Beat to Death um I think we can come in do a good job get you down to a spot to where in you know five six years when the outfields are that way you're ready to come in just cut those out see right back up to what we just put in and keep going is there going to be a big difference between news and the out yeah so first things first is that was they knew it when I came out here that was
018my biggest concern uh just because we do this every single weekend over over the state of Texas and I hate I hate bad Fields I hate fields that have big lips my you know middle end fielders are taking ground balls that are going crazy I hate that stuff there will be there's nobody that can match what you have you have a 14-year-old field with this I think that we can come in we can groom there's always going to be some transition from the infield to the Outfield uh I think I've convinced myself that if anybody can do it we can do it but there is a difference I don't think there's going to be an issue with how the ball plays if you got I I would tell you today the absolute best thing uh
019if money wasn't an issue would be to do the whole thing at once I did it but that doesn't happen in small communities like ours uh I think a new solution and new Surface whatever one you choose is going to play better play faster and play safer than what you have now somebody's going to get hurt on the and that's just coming from a softball dead that somebody is this also in that brown color uh let me make that clear yeah it'll be in the brown color so one thing that's really cool I don't want to get too deep in it uh but that's a really high-end product if you look at it has what everybody thinks is dead grass in it it's actually called a thatch that's a nylon product and if you've ever
020taken a ground ball you really want a product like that versus a product that uh has longer blades and doesn't have a thatch what that thatch does is hold your in field so if you've ever on a football field you see the boys hit it they get up rubber flying everywhere that's it's called Spray that's what we're trying to prevent on infields and uh you know softball and baseball infield so we could be cheaper but that's the product I want to use cuz I have I have this thing guys it's called the grocery store test if I see y'all on the grocery store I don't want to run down the other aisle and hide from you right so I'm never going to apologize for giving you the best product and it cost a little bit
021more but that's product I would I'd hang my head on Hil does to it it hits it by hail pretty bad damage it no it's resilient that Nyon is the strongest uh thread you can buy the market which is why it's expensive uh these other products only have what's called polypropolene in it which is just plastic uh but hell's not going to the only thing that's really ever going to damage Turf is uh fire uh sometimes on playgrounds we see a phenomenon where they put uh on decks they put these Globes and it almost makes a magnifying glass that the light will shine and burn it the only thing you can really do to Turf is tear or burn it or melt it so um I think you're going to be fine Heck if we
022get a hell CL on it replace the whole thing soft existing infield like will that be a lot taller than what we play on currently I mean obviously anything's going to be taller than everything's be yeah so your your grass was actually probably that actually taller than that when we started there's just nothing so that brown over there what yep so we have these available right but this is a what we feel is an indoor type ch right if you try to so there's a inside of here there's going to be infill they're going to put rubber and sand in there right you can't get enough of it in this product to not have major spray get what I'm saying it's not going to go down in the fibers we have this product Avail or
023similar product available to it we call it sport grass Arena and it's short and we call it a no INF filter because if you put it out in the field and you try to put rubber and sand into it so our out there currently is not that L it is mashed down that's what you're talking about yeah okay yeah please show them so this is you see all that that's the mess that comes down when at that Hot Corner especially whoever's playing third hope it's not your kid cuz they're going to take one but they're going to put the rubber in sand yes ma'am it still get down in there but that brown loopy what we call a that it's n hold it in it's not perfect if nothing will ever keep all of it
024from ever spraying but we have the white papers and the data show that sprays 80% less than anything else on the market so like that green right now is basically what we have had yep that's a football field CH that they just go hey put it on softball field because they're not softball dad problem so we don't have that brown ours is true ours is about this tall when it was brand new it was really short I mean it was super short so that product is here yes yeah that's kind of what we had this yeah yeah it was super short it was like uh what you think that's closer than what we may B shorter than that coach that was really hard to be shorter than that's probably that it was that so I'm
025confident in it that's that's what we have what other questions what kind of C should you wear everybody's going to always tell you to wear plastic or turf shoes right rubber Cates or turf shoes do we ever have school oh yeah our kids should not no every now and then we'll have kids do our kids don't wear metal but I mean they'll play they'll wear T shoes on our field and wear metal on dirt but sometimes you have kids come in that do some of those girl kids don't have those is does that stuff that you have come in different links or is it just that absolutely if you want shorter we can just swap to a different product same blades and everything uh that's the exact Turf that IMG uh just put in the
026number one Prep School in the country the most star recruits they can write a check for anything they want and that's the exact Turf they put in fact the brown Turf that if you say go you're getting is actually part of the same run that came from their fields so because y'all had some time issues on when you kind of wanted to do things and stuff like that so typically these are done as whole field so they take a long time from when you say hey let's go most people are saying minimum eight weeks uh it just so happened we were talking everything worked out and and I could get some more of that grass coming from that basically that run that we built for IMG how long you say take to replace the softball
027field stuff I think we can do both in 10 days two weeks okay I'm devil's advocate here sure please I want the shortest Turf you can possibly get like to me as a softball coach I want that brown tur to Turf to play just like dirt I don't want something tall and cushy I don't I want it is short I want it to play just like a dirt infield like what do you have that is going to like is that that looks really tall like do you have something that is shorter that is going to play like dirt yeah absolutely well we feel like that plays as good as anything yeah right uh but you we are the manufacturer if you have a spec you want we'll build it for here's the difference though is
028that we're not going to get it done in your time frame nobody can change a spec and build a run you know uh yeah overnight so we absolutely I can build anything you want um any blend we could sit down if you guys are doing the whole field the way this would go down you get on an airplane with us you'd fly to the factory and would show you sit down with the engineers and we do that's how it goes but you're not at the plan get on a plane Saturday let's go hey we have one ready tomorrow question so you had a good point some of it's short but when you infill it where are we at yeah that's actually a good idea uh to talk about so when you infill this thing you
029are probably a quarter of an inch at the top off the top of that blade so this thing is filled up and tight right so it's not fluffy and soft it's a hard surface the ball's going to play true uh we like to put more sand than rubber into ours so we don't get so many weird bounces and things like that we'll get plenty of s around here yes sir that helps us we are where we're at question y'all uh after the two years can we reup for a maintenance plan do you have a maintenance plan like that after two years yeah so they're so especially being here locally uh typically they're $1,500 a year you get a twice a year uh visit basically the guys come over for the day they fix any seams
030they bring our groom carts and things like that I I really should be doing that job because it's super easy but they love it and clean it they clean yep it cleans it pulls everything out they're probably done on those two fields in five or six hours uh football field take a little longer but they're probably just cruising around talking we're probably spending about 5 grand I think so clean up right now I think so yeah we're just you know 40 35 40 minutes on the road right down 80 so but also if you needed that shorter sure could you add more infield that's exactly right that's exactly what uh I think that was kind of what you're alluding to so here's what infield does it speeds everything up just like on a golf gream
031some of you guys called and said hey build me a golf gream the more you put in it the faster that thing rolls so that's just something there's manufacturer specifications on the product uh that they say hey this is your normal use but we do get some coaches that say Hey I want to play a little faster or whatever and we just kind of make those adjustments is it coming to chocolate brown absolutely that's what you want that's what you get have you looked at our field kind of have an idea what the base is going to look like we know when we tear that thing up we're going to have some base work to do it's just part of it uh we just finished a big project playground bigger than y'all's softball field up
032in uh Philip stet 65,000 ft playground that uh yeah playround yeah million dollars is that crazy uh who knows but pour it out it was been tur for the last 12 years and when we got it looked really good when we we started we started tearing it up then you found everything we had to bring in rock and that's what we'll do we won't cover it up without fixing around what do you use for your base well whatever is on is what we're going to match okay okay so typically they're built with a couple different things there's a drainage layer I don't know your engineer plans but if it was a Field built from the ground up they typically have six to 12 in depending on the engineer and the soil reports of what we
033call 57 stone it's a clean 3/4 inch Stone and then it's Capp with something that could be depending on the architector engineer out here in West Texas it be anything from just a 38 clean chip Limestone to what mean all my buddies called Chad or C uh you know 3/4 down uh it's typically not your cap layer there's typically 38 down uh to dust so it just really depends but that thing needs to be smooth and it needs to drain when we leave there's not a ton of Base work in these that should be done though what other question y'all got so if we get it fixed and say they have a game something comes up the turf needs to be fixed they call you how long would it take you to get here to
034so repair that or our turf guys that's all they do I have 12 installers that work for me fulltime all they do every single day is Turf so it's really easy just call uh if it's like a I can't tell you it'll be here in 30 minutes but I tell you here in 24 hours okay um the foul lines ours are 2 in yeah I saw that are you 4 in or you does it matter no we'll hand cut them into match because after Third Base going to that pole they have to be the same yeah and you're not you're not replacing the outfi so we just we'll just custom cut those in they're typically 4 in not quite sure why yall did two wasn't here I got you I got you supposed to be
0354 in but uh we 14 years ago yes that's right that's in the beginning of the whole deal so everybody's learning you know so those are supposed to be 4 Ines but uh so here's what I would like to do when the time comes one of these days we we if we work together and it's time to do the uh the rest of it you're you're only doing the the Terracotta part in that you're not actually doing from Baseline to your Dugout so all that will come out so it's time to come back do the out field we'll cut those uh lines out put four inches back in everything will roll and match that's kind of the idea so where you're talking about now we'll actually stop at the foul line M and whatever exists
036currently from the foul line all the way to the Dugout or all the way back to the back stop remains yes sir that's what we were asking for yes sir I don't think it's a bad idea to do the rest but it's significantly more money and I think that actually think the way yall doing it is probably the right way considering got to do it in two steps so one more question um your proposal on arterior landscape yes sir uh includes rework and turf of the baseball mound and batters boxes yes sir okay I'm I'm just trying to make sure that we look at apples to apples and oranges to oranges and not apples to oranges here we got different bids I was asked to quote the Italian field the areas that were U terracotta
037which includes the batter boxes and on the baseball field uh was asked to also include uh reshaping and installation of turf over the mound which is what we have quoted so you know the foul Line's there then you got the extra foot two foot past it yes we're covering that too right everything that's in there everything F line here looking you know third Bas line yeah so yes everything all right so any other questions for our guest I think was on one of those quotes we had like state champions and we had the Texas hes yes sir that was on the field Turf qu I wonder what he could do for that that would cost more but let's talk about that I have some concerns we can get it done for sure on the logos
038into the green area that is uh what I believe is past uh you know it's end of life so I would if you said hey we have to do it I would put it in for you but I would tell you that I think those are going to be very high risk areas where I'm worried about separation things like that so I'm trying to limit uh Jesse and I had talked about we're going to do a bunch of that stuff go ahead and just go all the way edge to edge it's so that's what they were saying is that it would look sick it would it would be sharp but they were saying that they couldn't do this because you'd have like you said take out the green you to go all the way to
039the all the way to the board and so so it just keeps adding little pieces and just get big and big but that's why they were able to do it like that cuz they weren't going to they were going they were going to the board on on the curb uh this was fter yeah that's why he went ahead and did it because he said he can go Line to Line and field Turf said they won't do that he said that they will only go curb to curb okay but if you go curb to curb what's the difference in the ront with u logo and all that stuff I would bet would be Sim yeah Loos are super exensive I just don't want to can see one other question your professional opinion um how much time
040do we have left on our Outfield I think you probably have years four to five years and it's and then everything inside the foul line yes sir back towards the dugouts and uh back stops still another four to five years or do you think that's only two to three no I think you're going to get through I think that that thing Pro be quite honest with you I think you probably could have got longer out of this field I don't think much maintenance has been done on the field I don't think we're getting a lot of uh I don't I just don't think we're getting it's something I see all the time it's just over and over out in these little communities it deep cleaned like where they come out and oh what's his name
041does that he just started years ago to be extra like getos all then I think and it's completely from my head because logos are all custom right and so you have to submit artwork do all these things they take time uh something we can do later with your uh March type install there's no way anybody can get those logos and time to do that but I think they would probably add the ones you want depending on size 15 to 20,000 logos are extremely expensive but we also haven't one to state champion here so you know i' probably do it I know I know very well took a long time to get that one yes sir we looking at do this before this this season starts the baseball field is is is so torn up it's
042dangerous the soft softball field well we've got we've got uh we have ground showing underneath the batter box Bas field yeah so if we did logos there's no way you could get it done before the season you don't think not the logos I think I could get everything started now here's the cool thing about logos is once they're in those things are going in in a few hours right so I can't by the end of the season you could for sure have them but I don't think by that second or third week of March that we when we all met and talked about I don't even think we can get him by so if we got like it is without logos and came back got y new logos it'd be easy to put in oh
043yeah absolutely that's a day job with Sidelines roughly you come in you stick them down you hand cut them in glue them in get out here but you wouldn't want to have to you wouldn't have to go all the way to the curb for that no sir y'all get y'all will get to decide your dimensions of your your Lo come out lay them out for you and kind of show you uh what they would look like and y'all can decide but it'd be pretty easy after doing if we did the infield to come back in just do the Outfield and then match up everything exactly I wouldn't wait another 10 years you just got through telling us we had a maximum of four or five yeah so we need to be looking at it in
044two or three I'm not right the check know but yes sir that I think what you do is just come in cut that out um if you if you open that box right there for me that there's one more sample in it if you slide out the bottom piece uh buch those little Goose so there is a this is why I switch to that backing on that Turf if you flip that one over this is the absolute Lamborghini of artificial turf on the market it's a three layer triple layer maing uh with a geotextile fiber that attack uh is how you seam it so this Turf changes the whole game it's everything that you on playgrounds because you can't bust sces with that because it's put together with what we call Micro mechanical s system
045if yall saw it you'd say it's velcro but you can't pull it apart there's a big difference but the reason I didn't use that turf was I have to match up to what you got I know gu that's kind of what I Doomer that that's what PR unforunately not a lot out of curiosity what would that do to our price that you have here you're roughly 878 yes sir if we went to a premium like that what would that do as far as changing this price I don't know the square footage on there roughly two there's no difference in installation cost uh that product probably runs $2 a foot more it end up being higher though correct because of the back no we would we would uh work the base and everything more the pond
046got sealed it and it was short now yes ma'am exactly it was superal questions regarding the turf itself the the last sample that he pulled out either one compared to that's $2 roughly does it 15 years realistically on a logo turn around so we got uh artwork they take probably a week to get us everything back we say go I think eight weeks but can we not do a logo in the outfi when they replace the outfi yeah we're just talking about like the UI they're going to do the U logo behind home plate and put state champions on the side like and then the Batters boxes this is not like a big herly logo anyway oh go yeah yes we love do that yeah later got likeor grass and all like lighter darker these
047are just little stuff behind whole play is a beautiful it is isti question have you have everywhere where's the closest place the closest sofball in with that oh that's probably going to be Waco yeah but you should see that facility we go get in truck right now'll take you Bor yeah they have D any other questions consider app you want your box keep it what's the that way I can come back and whichi which field didn't wake up is it one of the high schools or what is it so we have three different bids here we've got one from field Turf that came in their uh their base price was at 10 12,425 um we have Carter construction um that's at 8,843 and we have arterior landscape which is forever long and does not include
048the baseball field oh my goodness okay so the field Turf is 102 plus 34,000 that would make it 136,000 137,000 for field tur yeah all those other prices there it's really hard to read are options of like how to maintain the battery boxes how to maintain uh the pitching Mount and so it looks like there's a I don't know $400,000 worth of things but it's different options and how to take care of them whatnot so the 137 is this yes yes so that's what we have for 137 we got Carter construction or Carter Sports construction it is that but the updated quote which you don't have is plus 13,000 because it adds the pictur amount so it's that 80,000 plus 13,000 that put us at 93,000 Mr do they have the logos and stuff on
049that to match what field no maintenance 137 for field Turf 93 for Carter and then arterior landscape has Us in at 878 so those are the three bids that we have in front of us if we're going to compare apples to apples field Turf does have logos in it in their bid one of the reasons I'm sure for making it higher price does it break that down in there does it it does you could take it out lump some but after the information we received we could probably pull 25,000 off of their bid to compare apples to apples so if we pull 25 off of 137 we're going to be at 112 so we're still quite a bit higher than what arteriors is quoting us yeah got main oh we've got to look into the
050maintenance that's the other thing too is Carters does not provide a maintenance like arteriors does then we can he say we could get a oh I we can re up extended warranty yes sir what's that cost right now they're about $1,500 a year and that's twice a year tce a year would that mean what we would need is two times a year for that deep clean come in we've only done it we've only been doing it once a year as far as them deep cleaning coming out taking care the we should do during the summer and when that guy comes he does all three what was that this 52 something Cooper about 10,000 for all field we sweep it and stuff but that's just super official you know they that 10,000 is a deep but
051two times a year would be enough would you need to do like three times a year no not not on those not on those two Fields espe especially ours you know last year we played Four home games on the softball field I think they had six or seven last year at baseball just don't get as much traffic I think the maintenance of what forever law is offering is huge U because that's he's talking about a $3,000 per year value and we're currently paying you said five he said five for just the Bas it's roughly five for baseball soft ball five for football okay I'm just want to make sure that we have we're comparing Apples to Apples and that we have the merits of each one defined that everybody understands Joe you have suggestions I'm
052good okay is there a way that we could like get a C2 what like down the road or maybe like like a quote to for the logos so we could like see if that's a possibility I just hate to do it one time it's your one shot you're going to do it this you're going to have this for the next how long eight years get all the pr we get and then go for it but we're also looking at replacing the The Outfield plus the area out behind yes within the next two to three years right but this infield is going to be here for eight years yes and so I would love to have the logos on it and look nice like you want it because if we if we well we'll come back
053and do that next year sometime you end up never doing it you know and people don't want to spend the money then you're like and you know I think if you're going to do it you just say we're going to do it but we're going to do the logos and everything even if it takes another two months to do it you know that would be my opinion on it just don't swing and Miss if you get a chance to do it do it right and it's still probably going to be cheaper so to do the Lo Matt let's say that happens in April you you put down those new logos or whatever and then in two years we do replace that green between the foul and The Dugout we cut them out and we reinstall
054okay if we do that I want the old ones some to what's that in here not even a proba to do I'll make motion we get the INF done with the logos I'll get a price and all that what's that going to do to your season coaches so we said 8 to 10 days we're pretty flexible um with our schedule as far as spring break I think is where we talked about um and even even that week before our spring break so that would be middle of March um we have gains scheduled um to be at home but I mean y'all know as much as anybody we we're pretty flexible with our schedules as far as okay now we're going to go play there rather than at home and so we can make it work
055no coach that we play is going to say no we don't want a home game if we say hey we got to come these next three games to wherever they are they're going to be like oh yeah that's great we could we could really I mean if we had to we could really start the first week of March so I mean it's whatever we'll if we have to travel we'll travel again what does baseball have baseball has one home game this is the first week of March they're at Ira tournament um let's see baseball should be good can you explain to me how the mound is I've never we play We we've seen concrete Mounds in baseball is that how it is is just be concrete Dome how do you how do you do that
056yeah so there's a couple different ways like at uh the way we so at middle and high we literally came in took the thing all the way down the grade removed it uh set our Heights and we came in formed it up and and poured it in solid concrete most don't get done like that I don't think y will get done like that because of if we were doing the entire infield that's what we would do CU we carry out all that Turf and we rebuild that thing so another way they're done is your Landing path so we build the entire thing uh add of aggreg in stone except for our Landing path and we make those concrete build them in and then we dust the outside of that M Portland cement and you basically
057wrap it up and call good all you're ever going to replace on your M typically ising when they're Landing so you build up the mound with dirt like you're going to do the mound like with stone okay so the m is there yeah I'm not picking on anybody but I don't think set the right height have my laser that day to shoot we'll leave what's there we on top of it to get that rubber to the right and then we'll probably cut that area where they land we pour in and then we'll wrap everything El with stone and you know there's all that area mostly towards the front that is just concrete essentially are we not going to have to cut that out any we're going have to figure it out when we get in
058need only reason only reason I asked that is if it has to come out that if we're going to cut if we're going to cut that out can we just pour the whole thing concrete if we're going to cut that so just get because I how long would take to get numbers for the logos and stuff so I could start that uh get the team on at first thing in the morning but it goes through a process I think it'll take a week uh by the time we got to get artwork get everybody approved it's kind of a it's a little bit of a deal and uh those go to our corporate office in uh Ohio and uh I I call that the land of Manana sometimes it takes them a little while to get
059back to you they just do it them all but I think in a week I can have all those numbers do that next yes go ahead and do that pleas okay so say again I said pay cash maybe we get the logos cash is King I didn't say cash is King y'all just get together right sound like a guy going to be talking to you with you get a quote from that company also local businesses I mean I don't know if there's I don't know's local but I mean like get more than just that M these are in the turf is what they're talking about oh okay yeah so we I mean I you get another person would actually come in do work on some two machines init stes you come back later say you
060have the price for the next board which is 24th right we don't we don't have that time but well that's going to take eight weeks for them get Lo just for the logos if you don't get if y'all don't make a decision yeah that's what I was making motion foros yes I'll make motion to do do the infi with arteriors so we have a motion in a second on the floor to do the infield uh actually do what is actually on the quote for $87,400 cash cash um but it's baseball and softball uh as outlined in their quote are there any questions comments suggestions or further discussion this does not involve any logos this is just what we got on the fixing baseball and softball what we have a quote for yes no further discussion
061all in favor 70 where we going with arterior landscape now in with that we do want our coaches to get with you look at these logos figure out what you guys way y'all want it to look and what he's capable of and if you could get us uh an estimate on that okay at least well let's if we could get it in the next week and a half yes sir we could actually discuss it at our regular board meeting which is the 24th okay and then mrby if you'll add that to our agenda it we can thank you that being all that we have on the agenda do I hear a motion to adour make Blaine John all in favor any opposed no s z
