Roll call. School board members, everyone is present except for Kang. We have a quorum. So, we continue. 4.0 is to approve the agenda. >> I'll make a motion. >> Second. >> Any questions or discussion on the agenda? >> The only thing I would comment if you
noticed later on we added the work session. we forgot to have in there um right before adjournment. It's actually I don't if it's even printed or not. >> Um yeah, it's on there and so just throwing that out there. >> Other than that, we're good to go. >> Okay. Are the the personnel like I know
for the hires and the consent. Is that all correct? Because I know like we did Craig last time. >> Okay. >> Perfect. Good. All right. 5.0 is communication reports. 5.1.
>> Hang on. We need just all in favor. >> Oh my gosh. All in favor of approving the agenda say I. >> I. >> Any oppose? Motion carries. Thank you. 5.0. Communication and reports. Perfect. >> An update. >> Okay. I'm just going to throw um things again as always. Um just uh the bond
process, just so you're aware, it's moving forward. We've submitted the information. We have some scheduled where Carla and I will do some interviews with the different companies. It's moving how it should move. It just takes time. So, more to come on that. Um, Nexus, just a update that they continue to work. Um, Rob will be
actually here on Monday as part of the inservice to meet. The staff did a survey. He'll give some info back. Um, and I'm just going to put put a soft push out there. Um, three out of the six board members got names of community people in contact. He's been in contact
with all those. If the others have people they'd like to recommend, he will take and run with that. Um and and like I say, will be used down the road to have some community meetings and and kind of an advising group. Um solar project or RFP is out there. Um we
actually have a pre-bid for companies that want to come and look at what it would look like. Again, it's nothing formal yet, it'll when we get a company and something is actually formal, it'll come to the board. But that went out. The walkthrough is Thursday at um CMS.
So that's exciting. um MSBA uh conference in January um January 15th and 16th. Um I throw that out there because housing opened up and if people know that they for sure aren't going or
know for sure they want to go. I'll go in and grab a few rooms, but it does book up, you know, at least the close walking distance. Um and just for those of you that are new, the school board association puts on a conference. um it's Thursday and Friday so depending on jobs that can be hard um understand but
that is one place that technically the whole board could go and you don't have the again we can't do business and stuff but there's training there's speakers there's different things so um I just throw it out there um you've probably gotten stuff in your email and this and that as well I'm guessing um but like I
say I'm going to go book some room so if anyone knows like I say um for sure not it'll just save booking and having to cancel or vice versa So other than that, I don't think I have anything until we get later in the
agenda. >> Any committee reports or anything? >> No, other than uh principles, we we booked for November 6th. Um Josh, what Amanda and um Yep, Lynn. Um just and again, it's a morning, that's when they
requested, so we'll run with it and we'll set some other dates if we need them and so on. Uh we don't need anything for that. They'll bring a proposal. Um other than that, I think I don't have anything at this point. >> Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. 6.0 is to approve the consent
agenda. I'll take a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Any questions or discussion on the consent agenda? All those in favor of approving approving the consent agenda say I.
>> I. >> I. >> Any oppose? Motion carries. 7.0 is for opportunity for citizens to speak. See any? Okay. 8.0 district business. 8.1 is to approve special education resolution as presented and attached in
the board book. >> I'll make second. >> Okay. Any questions or discussion on the resolution? >> Give me just one. Um, just so the group's aware, this is an annual deal we do. Um, it's standard. It's with ASAC.
Each of the, uh, groups that belong to it do the same type deal. So, >> it's a resolution. Do you have to pull us? >> Um, yeah, >> it would probably be safe. >> Yep.
>> Yes. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. >> Great. Five to zero. Motion carries. 8.2 is approved the service contract with Johnson Controls as presented and attached.
>> I'll move to approve. >> Any questions or discussion on the contract? >> If I can just speak. What where where that came from is we um Johnson Controls has the controls in three of our buildings and with Mike transitioning over there's been a fair amount that we've needed help with. Even from prior
to him coming on, they came in and helped control stuff. As they've gotten going um they've ran into some issues where um again hopefully a year down the road, maybe two, we don't need them. You'll notice it's a 5-year contract, but there's a out clause within 90 days
notice. we can get out at any time. If we want to amend it, if we want to cut it in half the second year or anything, we just have to give them notice and so on. They've we've been using them a fair amount as we start things up and have had problems. We've found numerous like in this building in one of the places
they had, I think, five or six leaks. They had it drained down at MEA and we needed you know Mike was calling having issues and so they just recommended because they've done quite a bit I'm going to say pro rat which have been very helpful which is nice and they they kind of came along and said we should
have something in place and so that's where it's coming from that long term like you had with Ron I don't think we'll need it you know ongoing but for right now we've needed their help and the other piece is this building is not Johnson, but the person
that helps us used to work for the control company of this one. So, he does know both. So, he's been able to, you know, help and work on this system compared to getting a separate company. So, um it's not cheap. I understand that. But on that flip side, technically
when we're calling and just, you know, putting in request, it should actually be more. And you know if you do a comp I think it's 10% they take off which is not huge but we'll use it's a day and a half a month is what it comes out to be. We'll use it right now. Second year
third year I don't know and they're aware of that. It's just that's what they try locking it in you know um but for time being I think it's money money spent that we need. So, you're pretty certain that this will save us money by in the long run
>> compared to just calling. Like I said, I and I'm being honest. I told them I don't think we'll have this for five years. I mean, I think Mike's been doing a good job, but it's it's getting getting him up to speed. Even the control piece, we had issues. Um Jason has got him um what do you call it?
Remote access now, which will help as well. um you know to be able to control things, update things, but we've just ran into enough nom anomalies, even the system not being necessarily up todate, we needed to get some help. Um and like I said, they've been great. They've
helped us. Like I said, I was telling Amanda, even this summer before Mike came on, we're having volleyball at the middle school. It was too hot, needed it. They came on and did it. We didn't get charged for it, you know, because they have access to our system and can help. So the our main contact person
that actually works on it is in Grand Forks. That helps as well. So it's he's pretty open to helping. And like I say, I think so far we've gotten a lot of bang for the little bit we've paid that again. Now they've done like they just did your boiler at new heights. They did
you know CMS, they do the uh uh alarm controls as well for the fire alarms. I mean a lot of your stuff is Johnson right now. Um, >> and then this will will they be like on call too if we had an emergency or something like that? Would that >> technically >> No, like if we have a system and I'm
just picking like this building which or pick any of the buildings depending if they're under warranty or not. If we have work to be done most likely it's probably going to once you know they figure out we plan like they did here they had the system down several people in that wouldn't necessarily be this
contract you know this is figuring out what help them manage that type of thing. Um yeah, I mean they are on call. We got a spreadsheet of numbers from because each group has different contacts meaning the the alarm systems the the cooling so on but yeah it uh
>> under the one that we chose the basic one it doesn't have those 24 hours >> but there still the separate cost of the column >> like if we have a system for instance if we had a system just say break and I'm going to pick on South Point because
South Point hasn't been updated if all of a sudden we had you know the system go down in the middle of the night, it's going to be a service. You know, that's not what this contract is meant to be. I mean, that, like I say, it's 12 hours a month if you, you know, do the full year. I mean, if we had three, four
people on staff or on site for a day or two in emergency, that's that's >> beyond anyway. >> You know, there again, emergency like if we called middle of the night in January, it's different than if we booked something too. We need, you know, x fixed over Christmas. So, I mean, this
is more of a management, helping learn, helping diagnose, kind of an educational piece, if you will. >> Did they say how much they would be called? >> I didn't ask that piece. Like I said, the typical if we just call and need some help controlling, if you added 10%,
that's what they took off the hourly rate. It's not a huge amount, but by contract, that's what they do. So, I mean, be 190 bucks an hour or something like that compared to I'm in favor, but like I say, I don't think it'll be what it looks like for
five years. >> Sure. So, we got a first and a second, so we'll take a vote. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. 8.3 is to accept donations to the school district.
He's gone. and we don't know what to do. >> I'll make a motion to uh accept donations from Steven and Rosalyn Gander for the band and choir in the amount of $1,200. From Steven and Rosalyn Gander to the football team for in the amount of $1,200 from Steven and Rosalyn Gander
for the tennis team, half girls half boys for $1,200. The Deaks fundraiser for all the schools in the amount of $4,277.68. and the EGF music boosters to the music department for HB sound and light in the amount of $6,946.93
total in donations $14,82461. Take a second. >> Okay, any questions or discussion on the donations? All those in favor of accepting them say I. >> I. I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. 9.0 is
payment of claims and accounts. >> I'll make the motion to approve the payment of K12 bills 13363 through130473 in the amount of $139,4423. >> Okay. Any questions or discussion on paying the bills? >> I'll second that.
>> Sorry about that. Any other questions or discussion? I don't feel good either, guys. Any questions or discussion? All right. All those in favor say I. I I >> Any oppose? Motion carries. 10.0 is board member comments. Matt, I'll start
with you. >> Uh I just want to say thank you to Todd Schumacher. I saw that he resigned as a football coach and I had him as a coach when I was younger. My kid had him this year as a coach. It was fun to to watch him out there and um there's a lot of time and a big commitment to do. So, I just wanted to say thank you.
>> Uh just, you know, good luck to volleyball tomorrow. Um they big match that they're going to be playing and uh winter sports just around the corner. Anda I don't have anything either. Uh 11.0 the next well except for good luck on
the volleyball team. That's that was fun to watch. I watched that anyway. 11.0 the next meeting of the board of education will be October 27, 2025. Nope, that's not right. >> November 10th. Thank you. 2025.
I know. I'm like >> must have printed. >> Sorry. No worries. And uh 12.0 is to adjourn the regular meeting. We are going to have a a session. >> Why Why don't we just leave it going? >> Yeah. >> And then we'll adjourn when we're done. That's fine. We'll just like I said, we
added the work session to this and after. >> Y >> anyone doesn't want with the work session. Anybody wants to discuss superintendent goals, they're welcome to stay. Otherwise, you are welcome to go. And I would say we can end the recording if Jason wants
>> We'll take a we'll just dismiss for a couple minutes.
