001All right. Thank you for your patience. Welcome to board meeting. It is October 7th, 2025. It's 50:07. We apologize for the late start on the meeting. We were having some technical difficulties. Uh we're going to begin by indicating who's here. Clark, will you start? >> Clarkson, >> Karen Winder, Chris W, >> Connie Burgess, >> Kim Chandler, Julie Jackson, >> Todd Hubbert, >> Nicole McDerman. Go ahead and turn the time over for our capital and construction up updates to Justin Niggley and Chris. How do you say your last name? Chris >> Kchner. >> Cartchner. Thank you. Apologize. >> Good evening, district leadership and board. Uh board presidency. We'd like to just uh quickly start with I thought we had a very successful last four or five days with ribbon cutings at at Magna Steam Academy at
002Brockbank STEM and at Cypress High last night. and thought that went great and had lots of fun uh visits with uh students and teachers and neighbors and parents and thought it was very successful. As far as uh security update, we have just barely started. We selected you the board approved the designers last month for Taylor'sville wing edition and so we are just barely getting going on that. But that's the progress on uh on security upgrades. Oops, jumped ahead. Uh just a couple of quick run through some of these progress. Hunter track is almost done. We have just a few small uh punchless land on the bleachers. So we're we're basically buttoned up there. The site drainage package project is done and we had a big storm this weekend and it seemed to prove that we
003didn't have any water in the building. We talked with the custodian and he was happy. So that's a that's a success. Uh the auditorium house lighting in Taylor'sville is underway. We're waiting for a few more pieces to come from overseas and then they can finish that up. Uh we I mentioned we've started talking with our designer on the wing edition there at Taylor'sville. Um the the Magnus Steam Academy is the solar panels are the last remaining piece and we're working on that. That should be finished by mid November and Brock Bank has a fire alarm and some small punch list items that's just wrapping up hopefully this next week over fall break. Um the transportation and the maintenance compound filling stations are basically done. There's a couple of small punch list items that still keep
004it on the list, but they're they're done and we're using those. Um, we are have been successful in planting a lot of trees along the Mount View corridor and and we're about a week away from being complete there, which is super exciting. Um, Skyland High Auditorium baitment is out to bid right now. So, we'll get going on the abatement of the last portion of Skyline and we need to get the carbon monoxide out this month to we we tried that this summer had no no takers. So, we'll try again. There are a few HVAC projects that are underway. The two biggest ones are the Bakus boiler and the Hillside Elementary boiler. Um I understand correctly, Backus will be on next uh this Thursday and Hillside be next week and we'll have those up and going.
005Um, and so they will finish up the end of this month, but the boiler should be on in the next week or so. Uh, air handling unit that's finishing up here at the GEC uh by mid-occtober. And then we have some ongoing commissioning that's happening our different buildings, Walker and Cypress. Those are the items that I have uh for construction. And Chris, do you want to talk to us about Cypress? >> Yeah, so Justin already mentioned we had the ribbon cutting last night, Cypress. That was a wonderful event. Uh we continue to make progress on completing the items. As you all know, the school is occupied and operating and we're trying to get the vast majority of the items completed. Um the last remaining items, the academic wing in terms of the IT work is
006completing. We're we're completing all the punch on that right now. Uh the pool is operating. Uh the dance room's operating. Uh the athletic spaces are operating. Quite a few uh athletic events have been held. The CTE um some of that shop equipment installation is completing and the um large vacuum system for that. The remaining elevator, two of the three elevators are operating. The last one is supposed to be inspected this week at the end of the week. Um, the performing arts has been the the greatest area that's that's lagging. So, I've been told that the Oasis, the stage re rigging is supposed to complete this week and then CR lighting is supposed to complete the last few lights next week and then fingers crossed then the the auditorium will be complete next week. So, >>
007at the end of next week, >> if the auditorium's complete, that means they could do their musical or are we that close or >> we are aware the musical is coming up quickly and uh we're pushing that. We have a backup plan. Even if it's not, we can make it safe so we can get clearance and get in there. So, we are working on that. So, yes, we'll have the musical one way or the other. We'll have it safely. >> Oh, thank you. >> The the intent is right now Oasis is supposed to who is doing all this the theatrical rigging is supposed to be complete this week. So, um we are very hopeful for that. The rest of the parking lot striping the exterior, the outuildings um out at the athletic fields and the
008uh tower out at um driver's ed was also has also been completed. Um we have crews in there every evening working. My guys are working in there every evening. Uh Don Jones from the district is working lots of hours as well. uh just trying to make sure that all the remaining pieces get completed. And um then we're doing the corrective items, but we've been highly focused on just getting the priority for uh as you can see from the photos, we've got the exterior metal panels at the front were completed. Now, the pool is is operating being used. We were in there last week. Uh the dance room is being operated. And then one of the biggest impact items as I'm sure if you saw you were on the tour was all the graphics are up.
009So that was very exciting. Um the learning stairs were completed and and you can see the kitchen's in full use at this point. So it's it's been it's been a war, but uh we're get we're getting there. And the CTE spaces is kind of like the last thing hooking up some of the equipment. There was some equipment that was brought over from the existing school that wasn't completely accounted for that we're making adjustments on right now. So, and the elevators as we as we said and then you could see the shell and rigging piece. Most of those items are all installed from when we took this photo. And most of you probably wandered in through there either last week at the tour or this week at the ribbon cutting. that same railing in and out
010of the out of the auditorium. It's a beautiful auditorium and we don't have any changes to bring forward at this time. Uh Skyline, uh we're finishing up most of the warranty work stuff from the academic wing. Uh we're highly focused right now not just in completing the auditorium piece, but the south and east parking is is currently being uh prepared for completion. And then as Justin mentioned, right now the the uh abatement is out for bid right now so that at Christmas time we can start the abatement on the remaining piece on the auditorium. All those lovely giant transite panels that are on the outside of the building are going to come down and then that building will be demolished and then the rest of that work will complete. The last portion of the academic
011wing which runs at a 90 degree to the auditorium is progressing very well. Uh many of those spaces are looking uh complete even though you know we're taking possession um next uh next academic year on those. And then the theater uh the auditorium is progressing quite quite well. We're very much on schedule at this point. We're looking forward to completing the last piece of skyline. You said no questions. Julie, >> this is clarification. Um, again, can you clarify when we will be having the the demo take place? Like if someone wants to go and like kiss the outside of the wall, >> do it. Do it now. >> They can't actually do it because it's >> I I I I would kiss the outside of the wall now before we take the asbestous panels off.
012>> When's it coming down there? >> Asbestous happens middle of December through probably February. >> Right. March. and then a demolition March, April, a little bit of May probably >> right and that the I want to clarify the auditorium building will be complete at the end of you know April May kind of a situation the last piece that the audit existing auditorium done is for the main drive drop off loop so >> but I was going to say that if you want to get that close to the building it would be before December 15th I think they have their last production at uh Monday the I think Monday the 15th is is the Monday of December. I think if my date's right and then we're going to start putting the fence up right after that.
013So, if you really want to get up and touch the building, it would be prior to, you know, December 15th. Other than that, it's going to be off. >> We're actually going to be moving all of the musical all of their storage and everything out long before that final performance. So the building, yes, the auditorium will be intact for that final performance, but then it's literally, you know, the curtain comes down and the fence goes up and uh yeah, so just as you can see from the progress of the building, um the building is is moving very quickly. We're weathertighting the whole building and quite a few of the interior finishes are progressing. Justin, if you'd like to go ahead and uh you can see from the west side that parking, all the west side
014parking is complete and you can see our big mechanical hole in the wall that's waiting for that final unit that's sitting outside. But the rest of the building on the west side is pretty well complete and that parking lot's complete. And you can also see on the other side all of the earthwork that's being done for that large parking lot on the south and east side. And that's what's being shown here. Getting ready to do the front of the building. You see all the storefront glasses. And we're in great shape for the building, weathertighted for our winter work. And you can see the curb line on that right hand picture. It's gone in in preparation for the asphalt base and the asphalt that's going to be going on on the east side of the auditorium.
015Um, you know, the exterior of the building is going to look a lot more done before the interior is done, but uh you can see already the fly loft um progress and some of the other shots from the inside of the building at this point. Um the concrete risers for the auditorium hopefully that's the last time we drive a lift truck up on the stage. Um, and you could see the front lobby from here from those of you who were in attendance at Cypress. It's slightly different orientation because of the way that you come into the building, but uh, it's very much the same design in terms of what you saw over there is what we're rapidly heading towards at Skyline right now. Just more photos of the interior. And you can see the photos
016from the AC last piece of the academic wing is very much looking like a finished product in quite a few of the areas. Just um you can see the ceiling grids going in and we don't have any changes to bring before the board at Skyline. >> Thank you. >> I have a quick question. >> Sure. So on Cypress when it says no new changes and when do we actually have that final payment so we know here was the total and we're done. >> Yeah, we're anxiously with that as well. Um they're they're still billing and we're still processing through billing but it it will probably go into next next year before we get the final everything kind of gets sorted on the bills and things like that. >> Okay, >> that answer your question? >>
017Yep. Thanks. So I sat by um a councilman from Magna and she said, "My grandson got in the wood shop today." She was just as excited as he was. >> Good. We're excited. >> The CTE building is amazing. if if you haven't had a chance to see it, it is it is an exceptional facility. >> I think the whole thing I and really, you know, as we were looking at it with Josh took a couple of us on a little tour, but as much as there's some things that we need to, you know, continue to fix and everything, I just said, "Okay, can we just take a moment though and look, this is a glorious building." And like I look at for me the music room and I'm like, "Wow, I would kill to have
018that room." So, it it's fantastic and we're excited. I'm thrilled for the the Cypress community. They totally deserve this and I'm thrilled that Skyline will be getting theirs completed soon, too. So, >> thank you. >> There's no other questions. >> Thank you so much. >> Thanks so much. >> All right. We have next on our agenda, we actually have a executive session. Um, this is for the purpose of security, real estate, and legal strategy. And um I will entertain a motion as such. >> Uh isn't that legal strategy? >> Pending litigation. We'll say it that way. >> I move we enter executive session for the purpose of security real estate and pending litigation. >> Pending litigation. I'll second. >> All right. We have a motion and a second to move into executive session for the
019purpose of security, real estate, and pending litigation. This is a roll call vote. Please state your name and your vote. Clark >> Clark Nelson, yes. >> Karen Winder, yes. Chris Wyn, yes. >> Connie Burgess, yes. >> Kim Chandler, yes. >> Julie Jackson, yes. Nicole McDermott,
