THEN WE WILL DO THE CARPETING AND OF THE FLOORING WHICH WILL ALIGN WITH FURNITURE REPLACEMENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS. ARE WE GETTING THE MATERIALS UPFRONT AND STORING THEM?

WE ARE FULLY DESIGNED AND KIND OF WAITING FOR THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE WORK BASED ON CONTRACTOR AVAILABILITY, TIMING FOR THE BUILDING AS WELL AS
006OTHER PROJECTS WE WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH ALONG WITH THE BASE SCOPE WHICH IS REPLACING THE BRICK ON THE MAJORITY OF THE CLASSROOM SIDE OF THE BUILDING. IF YOU RECALL I TALKED ABOUT THIS A NUMBER OF TIMES. WHEN WE DID THE INITIAL RENOVATION WE DISCOVERED A FLAW IN THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION THAT DID NOT ALLOW ENOUGH SPACE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE BRICK TO THE SUBSTRATE ON THE WALLS FOR POTENTIAL MOISTURE TO GET INTO THE BUILDING . WE HAD TO BUT NOT THE BUILDING BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED. WE APPLIED WHAT WE LEARNED TO HALLINAN WHEN WE RENOVATED IT AND NOW WE ARE BACK TO REPLACE THE BREAK AND FIX THE ISSUES. IN ADDITION TO THAT WE ARE REPLACING A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. IT IS THE BIG THEME FOR THE 2025 BOND PROGRAM. FIRE ALARMS ARE UPDATED UP THE MAJORITY
007OF SCHOOLS. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE WE ARE REPLACING AT WESTRIDGE. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF EYES ON A. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS LOOKED AT IT AS WELL SO THAT TYPE OF SYSTEM WE ARE PUTTING IN IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL SEE REPEATED FOR THE DISTRICT. WE RECEIVED FIVE BIDS ON MARCH 19. A CONTRACTOR THAT HAS WORKED WITH US IN THE PAST WAS THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE BIDDER. TOTAL LUMP SUM $1,827,000. ANY QUESTIONS? JUST SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FIRE ALARMS WHILE NOT THE BEST ARE WORKING AND KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE . YES. THEY ARE STILL WORKING. THEY ARE BECOMING INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN. NOW WE WILL HAVE UPDATED AND CODE CURRENT SYSTEMS AS WE MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE PROCESS. VERY EXCITING. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
008THE THEME FOR THE REST OF THE DAY IS GOING TO BE FIRE. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. I WILL MOVE TO AUTHORIZE THE CLERK OR DEPUTY CLERK TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH 2 CAGEY CONTRACTORS INC. FOR THE WESTRIDGE RECLINER AND FIRE ALARM REPLACEMENT PROJECT WITH A TOTAL LUMP SUM BASE BID OF $1,820,000. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR COOPED UP. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. THAT ADJOURNS THE CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD AT 6:12. I WILL CALL TO ORDER THE SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR SESSION AND WELCOME AND HAVE COMMENTS FROM STAFF AND GUESTS. THIS IS OUR SEGMENT OF TEACHING MINDS. CAN OUR STUDENTS PLEASE COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE. THIS MONTH WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT , WE HAVE CODY, SAMANTHA, EVERLY. AND FROM LAKE OSWEGO MIDDLE SCHOOL . WHY DON'T
009WE START WITH RIVERGROVE . VERY WELL. BEFORE THAT I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WE TALK ABOUT HEALTH AND RESILIENCY ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN -- [ INAUDIBLE ] ARE WE ABLE TO OPEN THAT? HEALTH AND RESILIENCY AT THE GROVE. WE WILL START WITH THIS ONE. ONE THING THAT REALLY HELPS STUDENTS BE AT THEIR BEST FOR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. WE HAVE COMMUNITY CIRCLES EVERY WEEK AND SPECIAL SEL TIME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY. THIS GIVES STUDENTS CHANCES TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS, LISTEN TO OTHERS AND SHARE WHAT THEY HAVE AT THEIR EMOTIONS. IT ALSO GIVES US CHANCES TO BUILD TRUST. SEL HELPS TO UNDERSTAND FEELINGS, SOLVE PROBLEMS AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER. THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT SKILLS TO HELP US IN SCHOOL AND OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. IN FACT,
010STUDENTS AGREE WITH THAT ON MY VERY CRUMPLED SHEET OF PAPER. STUDENT A PUT IT GIVES ME A CHANCE TO SHARE MY FEELINGS IN CLASS. STUDENT D , IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET OUR FEELINGS OFF OUR CHEST WHEN I TALK ABOUT SOMETHING GOOD OR BAD IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE PEOPLE LISTEN SO ATTENTIVELY. PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THAT. ANOTHER WAY WE MAKE OUR SCHOOL A POSITIVE PLACES BY FOCUSING ON CHARACTER TRAITS EVERY MONTH. WE LEARN ABOUT THINGS LIKE RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND KINDNESS THROUGH ASSEMBLIES AND SONGS WITH OUR MUSIC TEACHER MR. KINGSLEY. EVERY MONTH WE GIVE OUT CERTIFICATES TO RECOGNIZE STUDENTS WHO HAVE SHOWN THESE CHARACTER TRAITS WELL. WE ALSO GIVE OUT REGGIE PRIDES TO ENCOURAGE GOOD CHOICES EVERY DAY. THIS HELPS MAKE OUR SCHOOL A PLACE STUDENTS ARE NOTICED VALUED AND ENCOURAGED TO DO THEIR BEST.
011WE GIVE OUT THESE CERTIFICATES. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF GRATITUDE. SO THAT WILL BE PRESENTED ONE OF THESE . QUOTES FROM STUDENT J . I AM THE BEST AT COMING UP WITH THESE NAMES. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD MOTIVATION. THE HONOR AND GLORY AT THE MONTHLY ASSEMBLY IS REALLY AWESOME. WE GIVE OUT THESE AS A PRIMARY REWARD SYSTEM FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR FOR CLEANING UP AFTER RECESS BEING KIND TO A FRIEND . EVERY WEEK THREE FROM A RANDOM BLIND BOX AND THOSE PEOPLE GET A PRIZE. LIKE A STICKER OR A TOY . I NEVER GOT ONE OF THESE SO I DON'T KNOW. AT RIVER GRAD WE ALSO ENSURE STUDENTS HAVE STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEMS. OUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR MR. E WORKS WITH STUDENTS AND GROUPS ONE-ON-ONE. THE STUDENTS HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO TALK, ASK FOR HELP, AND LEARNED
012WAYS TO HANDLE TOUGH SITUATIONS. HAVING SOMEONE TO TALK TO CAN MAKE IT BIG DIFFERENCE. . 92% REPORT A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. HOWEVER, TAKE THAT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT BECAUSE I'M A STUDENT CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS AND A STUDENT CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS IS NOT THE MOST ACCURATE. THEY SAY IT IS REALLY HELPFUL, REALLY FRIENDLY. VERY GOOD AT SOLVING PROBLEMS. STUDENT F RECOMMENDS MR. E. OUR FOOD DRIVE TEACHES STUDENTS WHY HELPING OTHERS IS IMPORTANT TO HOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ALL OF THESE HELP STUDENTS FEEL CONNECTED FEEL STRONG WHEN THINGS GET HARD. LIKE A HYGIENE DRIVE . A RECYCLING DRIVE -- SO PEOPLE REALLY LOVE PE. IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR KIDS TO STAY ACTIVE AND BUILD HEALTHY HABITS. IN JUNE WE HAVE FIELD DAY WHICH IS BASICALLY OUTDOOR PE. IT IS FUN TO HAVE ACTION . THE OVERWHELMING
013MAJORITY REALLY LOVE . EATING HEALTHY IS ALSO IMPORTANT. ALL STUDENTS GET FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON LEARNING BETTER. AS YOU CAN SEE WE LIKE THE GENERAL CONSENSUS SCHOOL LUNCHES ARE PRETTY GOOD . THE GENERAL FAVORITES ARE MAC & CHEESE, PIZZA AND CHEESY BREADSTICKS. PEOPLE REPORTED AS PRETTY GOOD TASTING, THE FOOD IS PRETTY NICE. TO HAVE FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCHES FOR ALL STUDENTS INCLUDING PRE-K. AT THE END OF THE DAY PEOPLE ARE NOT HUNGRY. AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT IS THE MAIN GOAL. WHETHER OR NOT TASTING. A SCHOOL NURSE HELPS YOU STAY HEALTHY EVERY DAY. THEY TAKE CARE STUDENTS WHEN THEY ARE SICK AND HURT. THEN HEALTH LESSONS IN CLASS . WE USE GREAT BODY SHOP FOR THE THINGS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT. THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS WE REALLY EMPHASIZE
014HAVING THIS INTERCONNECTED WAY. OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF HAVE A REALLY HUGE PART IN THAT. TO A SCHOOL COUNSELOR AND TEACHER WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION AND START AND SUCH. WE FEEL VERY PROUD AND GRATEFUL TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY TO REALLY FOCUS ON THAT. SORRY ABOUT THE BAD FORMATTING. THAT WAS MY FAULT. [APPLAUSE] WE WILL NOW MOVE TO KENDALL. >> SEVENTH GRADE WAS A REALLY HEARTIER ESPECIALLY AROUND THE END OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. A LOT OF THINGS IN MY LIFE HAPPEN TO MAKE SCHOOL DIFFICULT. I WAS REALLY ANXIOUS A LOT OF THE TIME AND COULD NOT GET THE COURAGE TO GO TO SCHOOL. SOME DAYS I WAS ABLE TO COME TO SCHOOL BUT OFTEN I WOULD COME LATE. EVEN THEN I WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE COUNSELING OFFICE AND TELL MY MOM TO PICK ME UP. MOST
015DAYS I WAS LUCKY IF I COULD STAY MORE THAN THREE HOURS. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A TOUGH TIME I HAD TON OF SUPPORT. MAKING SURE I COULD STILL GET MY WORK DONE IN THE COUNSELING OFFICE. MY TEACHERS ALSO SUPPORTED ME MAKING SURE I GOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENTS. PE WAS MY FIRST. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY GRADES UP. THE SOCIAL WORKER WORKED WITH MY MOM TO HELP ME. WE BUILT THE COURAGE TO COME BACK TO SCHOOL. WHEN I CAME BACK, I KNEW I HAD AN ADULT I COULD GO TO . THIS YEAR I HAVE A 504 PLAN AND HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD. IT SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT YOU I AM A JUNIOR AT LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT RESILIENCY. .
016WE HAVE SO MANY SPORTS WHICH A MAJORITY OF THE STUDENT POPULATION PARTICIPATES IN AS WELL AS NO CUT SPORTS. I PARTICIPATE IN THREE. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WELCOMING COMMUNITY IS A FRESHMAN THIS YEAR JOINED THE SWIM TEAM AND DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM AT ALL. BY THE END OF THE SEASON HE WAS SWIMMING THE 200 I AM IN A RACE. OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH DOES NOT END THERE. WE HAVE NUMEROUS PE CLASSES WHICH MY FRIENDS HAVE TAKEN AND ENJOYED WHICH NICELY INTEGRATE ACTIVITY INTO THE SCHOOL DAY. I'VE MADE SO MANY CONNECTIONS IN SPORTS I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THESE OPPORTUNITIES WHICH LEAD ME TO THE SOCIAL HEALTH. MAIN SOCIAL EVENTS ARE CENTERED AROUND THE SUBCULTURE. OF COURSE, THE FOOTBALL TEAM. TOGETHER THAT CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT TO MEET EACH OTHER THAT WOULD NOT NORMALLY MEET EACH
017OTHER. WE HAVE A ROBUST DIVERSITY. I STARTED BRIDGE CLUB WITH MY FRIEND SOPHOMORE YEAR. THERE WAS ALSO MORE CLUBS. THIS YEAR WE HAVE A NEW PROGRAM . IT WAS GREAT TO BE FRESHMAN GROWTH AND CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER. THEY SET GOALS FOR LATER IN HIGH SCHOOL AND ASK GREAT QUESTIONS. LASTLY, ASP PUTS ON EVENTS THAT CAN BE AS BIG AS HOMECOMING AND PALM ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HOLIDAY. THERE'S DEFINITELY ROOM TO GROW IN THE EVENTS THAT MAKE WHICH HOSTS ESPECIALLY FOR UNDERCLASSMEN. NEXT WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH . I PERSONALLY THINK THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE IS MEETING WITH COUNSELORS YEARLY. I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT COLLEGE AND MY TRANSCRIPT. . WE HAVE LEARNING RESOURCES . WE HAVE HEALTH CLASSES AS WELL AS COURSES CENTERED AROUND PSYCHOLOGY. . LASTLY, . THE STAFF HAS EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE
018SO WELL-BALANCED. THEY HAVE EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE VERY HIGH AND PUSH US TO DO OUR BEST AS WELL AS SOCIAL EXPECTATIONS IN THE HALLWAY AFTER CLASS. AS COACHES THEY ARE GREAT ON AND OFF THE FIELD. I AM SO ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE . THEY HAVE MADE ME A BETTER PERSON. . IT WAS AMAZING TO HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS ESPECIALLY ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU . I WANT TO EXPRESS ENORMOUS GRATITUDE. WE HAVE TO PUT OURSELVES OUT THERE TO TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS. I THINK IT IS AN ENORMOUS TESTIMONY TO THE PROGRAM THAT STARTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT SO WELL. AND THOSE SKILLS EVOLVE. WE SAW HOW YOU USED THOSE SKILLS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL ACCESSING THOSE RESOURCES AND TEACHERS. ON HIGH SCHOOL WHERE WE GET A BUNCH OF FEEDBACK
019IT ACTUALLY PLAYS OUT. SO YOU ARE TELLING THE STORY OF WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO . IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE THE RESILIENCY. EVERYBODY WILL FALL ASLEEP IF WE CAN TALK ABOUT BUDGETS AND BUDGETS AND BUDGETS. THANK YOU SO MUCH . THAT IS THE BEST PART OF MY MONTH. I JUST LOVE GETTING TO CONNECT TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. I GOT SO ENTHRALLED THAT I GOT LOCKED OUT. TELL HER WE HAVE WRITTEN TESTIMONY BUT WE DO HAVE IN HERE TO PROVIDE VERBAL TESTIMONY. I AM HERE. MY NAME IS BEN. I'M A RESIDENT OF LAKE OSWEGO. I LIVE ACROSS FROM LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CELL TOWER, THE TWO CELL TOWERS THAT ARE IN THE LAKERIDGE OUTFIELD. I KNOW THE TOWER IS UP FOR MAY. I'M SURE THAT CROWN
020CASTLE IS BUGGING YOU. THEY TALK ABOUT SAFETY AND TESTING. I DON'T MISS THE MEETING. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT SO THE STEPS TO TAKE . THE STEPS AT LAKERIDGE. . THE 24/7 EXPOSURE . SO WHAT IS THE TESTING MODEL GOING TO LOOK LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE IS, WE WELCOME A BABY A MONTH AGO SO NOW I HAVE ANOTHER ONE TO GET MICROWAVED AT MY HOUSE. SOMETHING THAT I FOUND WHICH WAS INTERESTING WAS VERIZON WIRELESS IN THE REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS THAT THEY MAY'S SECURE EXPENSES WITH LAWSUITS BASED ON PERSONAL INJURY. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY SIZABLE SETTLEMENTS. THIS IS IN VERIZON WIRELESS ANNUAL STATEMENT. THEY SPECIFICALLY ARE OF TRANSMITTERS . BE PREPARED TO US TO GET SUED, DEFEND LAWSUITS . THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT AWARDS OR SETTLEMENTS. SO THIS
021IS NOT NEW TO ANYBODY KNOWING THIS IS DANGEROUS. WE HAVE $250 MILLION PLUS OR MINUS A FILM MILLION FROM CARPET. THAT WARRANTS SOME OF THOSE FUNDS TO CONSIDER . SO THANK YOU. CONGRATS ON THE NEW BABY. CONSENT AGENDA. SINCE I BROUGHT IT UP I WILL APPROVE IT. THANK YOU, DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. . NATHAN AND BACKS AS WE ALL KNOW SPRING BREAK JUST ENDED. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AND HIGH SCHOOLERS. SOME PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT DOG SITTING, GOING TO MEXICO ET CETERA. SO INTRODUCING SPRING BREAK. NOW THAT IT IS BACK SENIORS ARE ENTERING THE FINAL STRETCH FOR THE LAST BIG BREAK. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A LOT OF GOOD/UNFORTUNATE NEWS ABOUT FUTURES TO SOME DEGREE. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE SUCCESSES OF SOME OF
022MY FRIENDS. THAT IS REALLY GREAT AS WELL. WITH TRACK AND FIELD . A LOT OF THE SPORTS TEAMS GOING INTO. I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO ADD TO THAT EXCEPT NEXT WEEKEND. . STUDENTS ARE NOW LOOKING TO GET THEIR EQUIPMENT AND STUFF. SO GETTING RESET FOR THE TESTING IS THE NEXT STEP. I THINK IT IS A MONTH OR SO IN ADVANCE . YOU CANNOT USE YOUR PERSONAL. DID YOU GO ON THAT TRIP TO DC WE WENT TO THE CONFERENCE WHICH WAS ENJOYABLE AND . WE ALSO GOT TO MEET CONNECTIONS . PEOPLE WAS LOBBYISTS OR WASHINGTON SUPERINTENDENT UPDATE. FOR THE WOMEN IN SCIENCE PROGRAM STUDENTS HEARD FROM WOMEN THAT WORK THERE IN A VARIETY OF ROLES INTO THE WORKFORCE . THEY TALKED ABOUT THE COMPANY AND MANUFACTURING. IT IS PRETTY AMAZING. THEY GET TO BREAK OUT
023IN SMALL GROUPS INCLUDING PACEMAKER SIMULATION CIRCUITRY . SO IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING DAY . THAT IS --THEY KNOW IF IT IS A FIELD THAT THEY WANT TO GO INTO. ALSO COMING OUT OF THE ROTARY EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS. THE OREGON BATTLE OF THE BOOKS. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM . THEY HAVE A STRONG GROWING --SHOWING IN THE COMPETITIONS. LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL . THEY ARE COMING TO THE TOURNAMENT. AS WELL AS HALLANDALE. . MARCH WAS MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS MONTH THAT IS WHEN WE HAVE THE DISTRICTWIDE STRINGS . THERE IS A BAND FESTIVAL. THIS IS FUN TO BE TOGETHER. IT HAS BEEN A LOT TO ENJOY AND IT IS GREAT FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE DID REQUIRE -- RETIRE KEVIN LOVE JERSEY. IN THE GYM AND ALSO A NICE CELEBRATION. ACTUALLY AND MENTAL HEALTH I THINK THAT IS
024PRETTY AWESOME. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY OUT THERE KNOWS . LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY -- [ INAUDIBLE ] THAT IS SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR. NEXT AGENDA ITEM. ARAB AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO GO AROUND AND READ THIS. WE WILL GO THIS WAY UNTIL WE GET TO THE END. FOR OVER A CENTURY ARAB-AMERICANS HAVE BEEN MAKING MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS TO -- WHEREAS VICTOR GEORGE WHO SERVED AS THE 37th GOVERNOR FROM 1979 TO 1985 WHEREAS SINCE MIGRATING IN PEOPLE OF MARRIAGE -- ARAB DISSENT HAVE SET EXAMPLES OF MODEL CITIZENS . WHEREAS FAMILY VALUES, STRONG WORK ETHIC EDUCATION FOR DIVERSITY, FAITH AND CREED THAT HAVE ADDED STRENGTH . WHEREAS ARAB-AMERICANS HAVE ALSO ENRICHED OUR SOCIETY BY SHARING IN THE ENTREPRENEURIAL AMERICAN SPIRIT THAT MAKES OUR NATION
025FREE AND PROSPEROUS. WHEREAS THE 2026 THEME FROM ARAB AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH IS MANY VOICES ONE COMMUNITY WHICH REFLECTS THE BREADTH OF THE ARAB AMERICAN IDENTITIES WHILE AFFIRMING THE SHARED VALUES THAT UNITE THE COMMUNITY AND WHEREAS THE CELEBRATION OF ARAB AMERICAN ANCESTRY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE EDUCATES OUR FELLOW AMERICANS AND COUNTERS MISCONCEPTIONS AND POWERFUL STEREOTYPING AND WHEREAS ARAB AMERICAN ISSUES SUCH AS CIVIL RIGHTS, STEREOTYPING AND BULLYING MUST BE COMBATED IN THE FORMS OF EDUCATION AND AWARENESS. WHEREAS ARAB-AMERICANS JOIN AMERICANS AND DESIRE TO SEE A PEACEFUL AND DIVERSE SOCIETY. WHEREAS THE INCREDIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS AND HERITAGE OF ARAB-AMERICANS HAVE HELPED US BUILD A BETTER STATE AND NATION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL CELEBRATE THE MONTH OF APRIL AS ARAB AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH AND ENCOURAGE OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO INFUSE INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING ACTIVITIES TO INCORPORATE
026THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ARAB-AMERICANS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. THANK YOU. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM SO I WILL TAKE EMOTION. -- THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I KNOW YOU ARE VERY BUSY. THIS IS A VERY SHORT PRESENTATION. I'M ON THE BOND TO HER LIKE LAST YEAR. YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR. TONIGHT I WILL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT IN GENERAL ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT AND I WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BOND MEASURE. CAN YOU FOR THE RECORD TO SAY HER NAME. I AM YOUR ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF FOR LAKE OSWEGO FIRE DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU. BASICALLY I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU THE OVERVIEW OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. CITY COUNCIL APPOINTED THE TASK FORCE ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. THEY DID A DEEP DIVE INTO WHETHER THEY NEEDED THE FIRE STATION , WHERE IT SHOULD BE, WHAT THE CALL VOLUME
027WAS, WE WILL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THE FINDINGS AND THE QUESTION FOR THE ELECTION OUTCOMES. OUR CALL VOLUME IS TAKING UP. WE HAVE FOUR FIRE STATIONS. THE ONE IN WESTLAKE, THE ONE ON JEAN ROAD ACROSS FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE MAIN FIRE STATION DOWNTOWN. WE HAVE 46 FIREFIGHTERS AND PARAMEDICS OUR JURISDICTION, EVERY FIREFIGHTER IS A PARAMEDIC WHICH UPS THE STANDARD ON YOUR LEVEL OF CARE . IT IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL YOU CAN HAVE ON THE RESPONSE. WE ARE A FULL SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE WATER RESCUE, WHY I -- WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING. WE DO WORK WITH LIFE FLIGHT. ALSO RESCUE AND STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTING AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL CALLS. OUR AVERAGE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. AND THE 20% FIRE RESCUE CALLS. THESE WERE THE KEY FINDINGS OF THE TASK FORCE. COMMUNITY LED, COMMUNITY
028CHAIRED AND LED. BASICALLY THE STATION IS OUTFITTED WITH MAJOR DEFICIENCIES. THE CITY DOES NEED THE STATION. ONE THING THAT SO WE HAVE TO GET THERE WITHIN EIGHT MINUTES . WE TYPICALLY GET THERE BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX MINUTES. SO -- WITHOUT DEFICITS. IT'S ALMOST DOUBLE SO THAT IS TRULY TOP. I KNOW I AM THINKING TOP DRAWER. SO THE LOCATION OF SOUTH SHORE IS OPTIMAL. REALLY WHERE IT IS THAT IS PROVIDING THE BEST RESPONSE . WE CANNOT REMODEL THE STATION . IT IS BUILT WITH CINDERBLOCK CONSTRUCTION . IT WOULD PROBABLY COST MORE TO TRY TO REMODEL THAN JUST TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD IT. . OBVIOUSLY THE MOST VALUABLE FUNDING SOURCE WOULD BE GENERAL FUND. SOME OF THE DEFICIENCIES WE FIND , I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE IT. THERE IS NO SPACE. TOP LEFT IS WHERE WE KEEP IT ON
029THE APPARATUS FLOOR . THERE IS AN INCH OF ROOM BETWEEN THE BACK WALL OF THE FIRE STATION. YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE TOW RIG. THEY HAVE TO OPEN THE OVERHEAD DOOR TO GO AROUND AND GET INTO THE DRIVER SEAT. THE BOTTOM RIGHT TURN OUT IS STORED IN A NON-VENTILATED SPACE . AFTER A FIRE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL THOSE WILL OFF GAS FOR UP TO 72 HOURS. SO DOING THE LAUNDRY AND THE EMS SUPPLIES ALL OF THAT IS STORED IN THE AREA. IN THE BATHROOM THAT IS THE ONE CREW BATHROOM AND THERE ARE TWO STORES. IF YOU GET SOMETHING THAT WORKS FROM ANOTHER STATION IT WILL COME UP THROUGH THE KITCHEN DRAIN. JUST WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT BEFORE. SOMETIMES I GET THE QUESTION, I LIVE IN WESTLAKE. WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT
030SOUTH SHORE FIRE STATION. THEY ARE DISPATCHED ON THE AVAILABLE LOCATORS. SO IF SOUTH SHORE HAPPENED TO BE AT THE SAFEWAY SHOPPING FOR FOOD AND THERE WAS A CALL DOWNTOWN THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WILL GO TO THE MAIN FIRE STATION. THEY ARE ALWAYS TAKING THE CLOSEST APPARATUS. THEN WE WANT TO SEND THREE MORE SO WE WILL SEND THE SECOND APPARATUS SO IT WILL BE THE SECOND CLOSEST RIG. HAVING FOUR STATIONS IS REALLY PARAMOUNT TO THE RESPONSE WE ARE USED TO PICKET MATTERS . THE ENTIRE CITY IS BEING SERVED BY ALL FOUR STATIONS. THIS IS JUST DEMONSTRATING THE SAME THING. ALL FOUR STATIONS OR AT LEAST THREE WOULD RESPOND. I TENSED TO LIKE TO ONLY USE THREE SO WE HAVE ONE COVERING THE CITY THAT WILL HOLD FROM THE MUTUAL AID JURISDICTIONS TO FIGHT THE FIRE.
031THIS IS A SLIDE WITH A LOT OF WORDS ON IT. BASICALLY THE BOND AMOUNT IS $20.6 MILLION. WE DID A LOT OF WORK. WE FIRED AN ARCHITECT AND OWNER'S REPS TO HELP US SO WE DID A LOT OF WORK COMING UP WITH THAT NUMBER. IN ADDITION, THE FINANCE DIRECTOR FIGURED OUT THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT $0.19 PER 1000 OF ASSESSED VALUE. THAT WOULD BE ABOUT $114 A YEAR FOR A $600,000 ASSESSED HOME. THE TOP PROBLEMS WE ARE TRYING TO SOLVE IS THE DECONTAMINATION ROOM HAVING MORE VENTILATED SEPARATE SPACE FOR CONTAMINANTS. WE WILL INCREASE THE STORAGE SO WE CAN HAVE A RESERVE TRUCK. SO WHEN ONE IS OUT OF SERVICE THEY STILL HAVE ONE AT A PLAY. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE INSURANCE RATING FOR THE CITY TO HAVE REDUNDANT RESOURCES. IN ADDITION WE HAVE
032A NEW BRUSH TRUCK WHICH SPECIALIZES WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING. OBVIOUSLY THAT AREA ARE VERY RELIABLE AND HEAVY FOR THAT APPARATUS THERE. 'S FOR THAT PORTION WHERE THE APPARATUS IS STORED PICK ANY KIND OF SEISMIC EVENT WILL UNFORTUNATELY RENDER ANYONE IN THE LIVING SPACE. WE WANT TO KEEP THE FIREFIGHTERS SAFE. IF ADOPTED WE WILL BEGIN THE DESIGN IN EARNEST AND HOPE TO BEGIN BUILDING IN THE SPRING OF 2027. IF REJECTED WE WILL REMAIN OPEN AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO WORK OUT OF THAT STATION. THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOR YOU. WHEN YOU GUYS ARE BUILDING WHERE ARE ALL THE FOLKS GOING TO BE? GREAT QUESTION. THE CITY ENGINEER WITH THAT WATER TANK AND TENNIS COURT ON TOP OF IT IS THE ADJACENT LOT TO THE SOUTH SHORE FIRE STATION. SHE'S ALLOWING US TO PLACE A
033TEMPORARY FIRE STATION THERE. WE WILL BE COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL IN THE SAME AREA THE WHOLE TIME THE STATION IS BEING BUILT. HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE TO BUILD? A YEAR AND A HALF HOPEFULLY WORST-CASE SCENARIO. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL SERVICE YOU PROVIDE TO THE CITY. I KNOW FAMILY MEMBERS OF MINE WHEN THEY HAVE LITTLE KIDS COMING TO TOWN HAVE REALLY ENJOYED TOURING YOUR FIRE STATION. EVERYONE WHO WORKS THERE IS SO LOVELY AND KIND AND WELCOMING . ONE OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS ONCE SAID TO ME. HE WAS PRETTY NEW. YOU THINK THE NEW GUYS WHICH IS A FIRE FIRE FIRE. WE ALL WANT TO DO OUR JOBS THAT WE ARE TRAINED TO DO BUT ONE THING HE SAID IS THAT WE DO COMMUNITY REALLY WELL. IT IS WHAT WE DO, IT'S KIND OF
034OUR THING. I JUST LOVE THAT HE WAS TAKING PRIDE IN THAT. I THINK THAT SPEAKS, WE LOVE HAVING THE COMMUNITY AND THE FIREHOUSE. SOUTH SHORE IS NO EXCEPTION. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT. I JUST WANTED TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF THAT. I TOOK THREE KIDS TO VISIT THE STATION AND THEY WERE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE WHOLE BACK AREA. WERE YOU JUST THERE? >> YES RECENTLY. THE BIG HIGHLIGHT WAS GETTING IN THE BOAT. THAT IS OUR CLAIM TO FAME NOW BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN IN THAT BOAT. THAT IS A HOT ITEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. TO ALL OF YOUR STAFF AND EVERYTHING YOU DO TO KEEP US SAFE AND RESPOND QUICKLY TO SCHOOL THINGS AND EVERYTHING. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES LAKE OSWEGO SPECIAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. OKAY. I AM
035UP NEXT. LEGAL BUDGET COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT. WE INTERVIEWED FOLKS AND WE VOTED AND MADE A DECISION. NOW WE HAVE AN ACTION ITEM IF SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I WILL MOVE TO APPOINT MR. MICHAEL HARRISON TO SERVE ON THE LEGAL BUDGET COMMITTEE. THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. >> IS THERE QUESTIONS? WE WILL GET STARTED ON THE LEGAL BUDGET COMMITTEE SOON. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF HAVING MR. MICHAEL HARRISON JOIN US PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. NEXT ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELD ALLOCATION ADJUSTMENT. BEFORE I GET INTO THE DETAILS I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE OTHER CANDIDATE. WE HAD TWO EXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATES TO THE POSITION. I WILL CONTACT BOTH OF THEM IN THE MORNING. I CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE THEM TO LOOK INTO OTHER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES. ABSOLUTELY. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE SO MANY AMAZING,
036SMART HUMANS THAT WANT TO VOLUNTEER WITH US. THIS MAY FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE DÉJÀ VU. A YEAR AGO QUESTIONING ADJUSTMENT TO THIS VERY FUND, REDUCING THE ALLOCATION PERCENTAGE FROM THE ORIGINAL 100% THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN TERMS OF THE FIELD TURF REVENUES THAT WE DERIVED. FROM RENTING OUT THE FIELDS TO THE LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR OUTSIDE PARTIES AS WELL. AS IS NOTED WE HAVE SUFFICIENT REVENUES ACCUMULATED IN THE FUND TO ADDRESS ALL OF OUR MIDTERM REPLACEMENT PROJECTIONS FOR REPLACING THE SURFACES . WE ARE ASKING FOR ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT FROM THE CURRENT 50% OF THE FIELD REVENUES TO 25% . THIS WAS RUN BY THE AUDITOR TO MAKE SURE IT MAKES THE FUND QUALIFY FOR THE REVENUE SOURCE THAT IT IS ELIGIBLE TO CONTINUE TO STAY AS A COMPONENT , BUT THIS IS A FORMAL ACTION ITEM BECAUSE
037IT'S ON THE APPLICATION WITH THE BOARD AUTHORITY. SO IF YOU WERE TO APPROVE IT THIS EVENING IT WOULD BE THE ALLOCATION. QUESTIONS? WHEN YOU INTRODUCE THIS , YOU HAD INDICATED THAT THERE WERE TWO FIELDS GOING OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. TWO WERE GOING VERY SHORTLY AND THEN THREE MORE IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. HOW MANY NEED TO BE REPLACED? WE REPLACED TWO SINCE THEN . AS FAR AS ACTUALLY JUST ONE . WAS THE OTHER ONE INSURANCE? BASEBALL, WE DID THAT IN 2019, 20. I THINK. SO I THINK WE HAVE DONE JUST ONE BUT WE HAVE TESTS AND ASSESSMENTS DONE IN THE FIELD EVERY YEAR . THOSE ARE ALL INDICATING APPROVAL. WE ONLY HAVE ONE FIELD COMING UP FOR REPLACEMENT THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS. AND POSSIBLY MORE RANGE. WHEN DETERMINING THE BUDGET DISCUSSION THIS IS ONE
038OF THE FUNDS I THINK YOU TALKED ABOUT. IT IS ONE OF THE ELEMENTS. YOU CALLED IT OUT WHEN IT WAS SPENT DOWN . WILL NEED SOMEBODY TO KEEP TRACK OF THAT. AS WE LOOK AT IT AGAIN. WE PREPARE THE INVENTORY WHEN EACH WAS LAST REPLACED. WE ALSO HAVE FOUR ARTIFICIAL SURFACE TRACKS NOW . THOSE TYPICALLY LAST A LITTLE BIT LONGER. AT SOME POINT THAT WILL BE REPLACED. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL . IT SEEMS LIKE WE REPLACE OR CREATED MORE TURF THAN THIS. SO WHAT IS BEING PAID WITH BOND MONEY OR HAVE THINGS BEEN PAID FROM BOND . I FEEL LIKE THE FOOTBALL FIELD WAS UPDATED AND THEN WE HAVE THE NEW FIELD AND ALL OF THAT. MAYBE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT GOES IN THE BOND, THE TIMING, BECAUSE THIS IS
039MEANT TO HAVE THAT MAINTENANCE PROCESS AVAILABLE TO US. WHERE DOES THE LAKE RIDGE BASEBALL FIELD, THE PAYBACK SYSTEM COME INTO ALL OF THIS? I'M NOT RECALLING BUT I AM WONDERING. THAT IS IN THE CONSTRUCTION EXCISE TAX FUND. THAT IS ON THE OUTSTANDING DEBT AND CONTRIBUTION FOR THE DEBT SERVICE COST ON THE LINE THAT WE BORROWED FOR THE LUMP SUM $5 MILLION FOR THE ATHLETIC FACILITIES. AND THE BASEBALL FIELD . ARE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. I MOVED TO APPROVE THE ADJUSTMENT TO THE ARTIFICIAL TURF ALLOCATION . IS THERE A SECOND? >> THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE ADJUSTMENT TO THE ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELD ALLOCATION SAY AYE. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. WITH THAT, IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS? OKAY. AT 7:04 WE WILL ADJOURN.
