water on the wrong tube here but um i' sent something out previously just kind of getting a flavor but there is a h solar for schools Grant that's out there's been a variety or a number of iterations of this um I've been doing
some networking looking at potentials to see if it'd be a good fit in the district um in the process learned that in Northern climates uh snow loads for RS has increased so the amount
of the amount of um pounds per square foot of snow you have to plan for has gotten larger over a period of time which means the margin is smaller or weight you know additional weight
that you can put on roofs so solar on top of roofs in northern Minnesota is harder than it used to be before unless you over engineer when the roof is being built which means you're putting money into stuff up there not into classrooms
so it doesn't happen very often in the school sector because it's not only the solar panels but you have to put ballast on the panels so they don't blow away or you have to you know drill holes through the brand new roof so um begin looking
at outdoor space Ben's talked about the hoolahan property as a possibility at some point um but I brought up the idea of the Big Fork land to Ideal who I ran into uh a couple different times um
they've done over 200 solar arrays in Minnesota they've done over 60 projects for schools and um they do they're kind of a One-Stop shop for this type of a project where they do project development design financing they do the grant for you they
do the construction they take care of operation and maintenance and they provide the curriculum that you need to in order to qualify for this solar for school's Grant based on Big Fork our district the
uh the grant that they know very well because they've done this before we'd be eligible for $500,000 under this program and he said there's a petition that you can fill out to get an additional 175,000 if there's money left in the program
it's a guarantee that you'd get it he said every one of the districts that asked for that last time got it there's no guarantee but um it happens so that uh they do a lot of that
um the bottom picture kind of shows you a general idea of where the array would go we own just under two acres there there isn't a imminent use for that space it's it probably looks like it's Turf right or
some kind of grassy area it's not usable it's not grass it's Brushy stuff um so it's not like fieds out there um we would need to work around the storage building that's probably going to go there as a part of the edge
project um and they know that U so updated drawings actually would have a notch kind of probably in that upper leftand corner where that would be um the second page gets into how the how
the the mass works on all this they asked for and we provided a copy of our electric bills for Big Fork there's base funding or base charges and then there's you know um High utilization time charges that we
pay depending on the time of day Etc the demand demand charges thank you um our heating up there is fuel oil so we don't have electric heat necessarily but what they're projecting is that base on our usage we'd have
87,000 or 868 in utility bill savings we there'd be rent revenue and I can't remember exactly what that was for but um then we would pay ideal to cover the construction cost basically the difference between the
Grant and the overall project cost to develop and build it and then um there's some net you know net savings for the district on an annual basis and then that after 20
years the panels are essentially paid off and any savings we have at that time fully realized by the district less anything we would want to do for operations and maintenance they during the first 20 years I
deal provides the operation and maintenance in the fee that they're charging um the panels do degrade over time and that's factored in uh the panels are warrantied to produce at least 80% of
the capacity that they produce um in year one as they do in year 20 and if they don't it's a warranty claim they factored in electricity costs to go up by 3 and a half% so that's one of the
ways as I've researched this that some um models are made to look way better than they are they build in a huge energy cost inflation from year to year so you know if you estimated that electricity went up by 20% a year you can show a lot more savings they estimated three and a half percent which
is pretty moderate I would say um I think we need to we need to lean into the numbers a little bit more to make sure sure that these savings are realistic um I did
talk to the superintendent and Proctor they have two arrays there that they worked with ideal on and he said they've been amazing to work with so I'm trying to get from them the size of those arrays to see if the volume of
electricity that they're producing is in line with what the volume of electricity is producing that they're projecting here um you know they've done enough of these where I don't know that they know that anybody can check
around at this point I think so um but I'm checking into that before we get anything get into anything uh you know confirmed um on the top of the next page you can kind of see what ideal does they apply
for the grant there's a uh kind of a um initial response that's du by July 31st to notice that that we're interested in it and then that full Grant application you can say C isn't due until November so we're talking about construction you know next summer
really [Music] um they a part of the grant is require is require requires a curriculum and uh Carrie the sup from Proctor mentioned that and you can see
actually on the next page uh one this is a this is what the yeah this is what the display looks like I just looked at one of these today um the top of the back page is what the display looks like you pull up on procer schools solar stuff this is happening in real time you can
actually pull up a digital image of the array in real time and see how much electricity a particular panel is producing this second um so that's interesting and then there's a curriculum that's sort of stem
based science-based that kids in big pork would be exposed to um along with this data so that's included in what they provide um as you can see at the bottom of that page the district owns the panel the
panels from day one there's nothing that we pay up front it's just um what we would pay in electricity where that money goes instead of all going to Minnesota Power it would go some of it would go to Minnesota Power uh what they build us and then some of it would go to Ideal and some of it ideally we'd keep
if their modeling is correct um says free energy after 20 years it's not necessarily true because we'd have operation and maintenance costs that we'd be responsible for there is insurance that we would put on we would
make some adjustment to our um property and liability insurance but the panels are rated to withstand inch and a half no really big hail can't remember how big it was but it was really big it was bigger an inch and a half anyway it was
really big um and then they're responsible for all warranty work um Engineers met with Darren up there because one of the things they have to determine is how to get electricity from the panel uh back fed into the syst into
our building basically we were hoping we'd be able to tie into the edge area but that panel isn't that panel is just feeding the edge it's not feeding enough so they'd have to actually go into our main panel so they
probably would run a run a conduit up the building and it'll cross the roof and down um they looked at location they would fence a part of the construction would be a fence all the way around it kind of like you have a like at the city like the city
project um they would there's some applications you have to do with Minnesota power to tie into the grid obviously because it you know in the in the winter you're not using all your electricity in the summer when our bill is at Big Fork is $5,600 we're probably
producing more than we're using at that point so you're selling electricity back to the Grid at that point so that's where that balancing act kind of comes out um let's see like I said we're going to work on some more kind of verifying
these numbers um but that's that's it in a nutshell uh what what the program how the program works a lot of schools have done it like I said um he sent sent me a list of all the districts that have done it with them in the state it's a bunch
I'd say we're the you know I don't know where on the latitude and longitude Proctor Falls but uh we're probably the northernmost School District that they have on their list they're working with Park Rapids right now and they found the same thing
they had some new schools but they're going to have to put them on the ground too because they didn't engineer their new buildings to hold solar panels either so couple of questions in regards to the curriculum obviously we have the Grand Rapid schools when we have the big
fork School the curriculum have to be embedded in Grand Rapid schools are just Big Fork schools question one question two is do we have time to put the curriculum within the schedule where does that fit in what
grade and all that I it uh based on what I read it's aligned to the standards um the Minnesota Science standards so it would incorporate into stuff we'd already need to do in terms of How Deeply or how
widely we'd have to incorporate it um I mean since the project was in Big Fork I don't know that we would need to do it Beyond Big Fork but we could because this data would be available everywhere the kids from coass could pull up the
data or you know any of that so and then uh what's the hospital being so close is there any chance that be create a partnership with them they're looking at I don't know if they are or aren't I guess should we ask the question even though we would be applying for a grant
to cover the school does it make sense if this is something that they might be looking at in the future maybe tie it in all one system and maybe get a better break on pricing or something I don't know well once it goes to the grid you know it go once Minnesota Power puts it on the grid it's
you can read it off the myo and see what energy wind and energy they're using up there because that was my other so the only cautionary tale I have on this is a few weeks ago uh company in Texas all of
their solar panels were wiped out in a storm and it's going to take a year to get all the parts and rebuild it I mean it wasn't something that you just kind of fix the wire and put it back together like and they don't even know if they're going to be able to get all the parts you know I mean it's kind of that so
there's this too much dependence on one is a problem you know and so that's and that was just me sitting down with some of the energy folks yeah last couple weeks you know they're knowing that solar isn't kind of a BL end all that
it's kind of one right it's a small slice of the whole energy portfolio yeah um but I would just say What's it gonna cost like in the end what is the bottom line cost for us because we can't afford
it right I mean I just you know yeah I mean according to their modeling there's zero cost to us and we would come out ahe on it because of the grant if there was no Grant there's no way this works out MoneyWise right and you know that
was what when I initially started looking into this that was what Kent had said too because they have some solar Partners as well and he said if you're if you're trying to do this yourself and pay for it there's no way you pay yourself back so you have any idea on
what an increase their insurance they're estimating $1,400 that was their estimate year y is that built into the yep yep the other thing that's built into their model is replacing
the um there's a piece of equipment that they plan uh the inverter there's an inverter that costs about $50,000 to replace every 10 years and that's built into their financial model
to so in 20 years without being expense we would incur or would that be an expense they would incur before they hand it off we would I mean because that would be one thing to know because then if we're saving that money we'd have to put it somewhere to have it when that expense
comes out if it's every 10 years they they've planned to replace it every 10 years but you I mean at 20 when it becomes ours yeah I mean we would if if we had rep if we had replaced it at 18 because it failed we could assume that it would last longer but any after year
20 we'd be on the hook for that then yeah my guess is by then there will be some upgraded they only do about this is there any maintenance that they have to do like in the winter when it's snows on those things someone have to go out there and clean them off
or I don't remember Darren asked that what I what I thought I had seen on other kind of thing I was reading is that the sun warms the panel and melts them off city of Grand Rapids might know that yeah because they've been there for a
few years they might they might have some insight on just the maintenance part of I think it's a good thing to to continue to explore as I said my email just want to make sure that we're not dipping into right general fund dollars just
because of the situation that we're in I don't think it would look good for the district um and there's always going to be some hidden cost someplace here there that but the other piece is because Big Fork is an energy transition Community
because Minnesota power is the core source in their Community the community that the school may be eligible for some federal grants on the energy transition side that could help cover any additional costs but because some of
that uh infrastructure those costs and um the transition over covered under different federal grants so that that would decrease the you know that would decrease the costs we have to BU deal essentially right yeah so yeah I'll I'll
check into that too yeah again back to the hospital and not knowing if they're interested not interested and just hearing about the potential dolls there could be a good partnership here I've got a meeting with the CEO tomorrow and so I'll ask him
that from the hospital and it' be nice to be first to the trough those dollars yeah faster the faster we can go I mean this is still way ahead of a lot of people I think on the energy transition side some people still are trying to figure out what it
is so no objections for me to continue to kind of lean into this and pursue uh our big concern is you know this has to be this has to be Net Zero at worst for us right I put my sheep on that property
can you put your sheep on yeah I think so that be help might help with knocking down some of the the weeds that was one thing that Darren asked like you got a mold thing then or and I I haven't talked to him since he met with the engineers but that was the question he had like oh yeah but does he mow it now
you got to mold this no we don't do anything would be one again right they have R out there or put goats like doesn't it goat goats but they wires oh I'm absolutely in support of this uh and for us as a school to position our
students to be uh on the Leading Edge of uh solar uh research would be stunning I think it would be a feather the cap I'm absolutely given the parameters that you've expressed I did uh just have a
preliminary conversation with uh Tom Pagel from the city of Grand Rapids too because again you know you draw a circle around our other schools uh there's nothing at the high school there's no like space that we don't use around there there's no space we don't use around West there's no
space we don't use around quasset um but I did talk to Tom Pagel about East and there is some land over there that the city has that they don't foree ever really using and so he said at some
point in the future you know I think this is if if this goes and works well and that kind of thing I think it it might be a place where we could Circle back around to the city and say can you partner with us on this um and you know
that kind of thing my wheels are turning bad I know we got uh purchase agreement coming up discussion let's write that into the purchase agreement part of the deal are either of those new schools do
that they have flow that could handle it no did I asked Darren and Ken both and they both said they're they're built to withstand the or to handle the snow load but the margin you know it used to be that you the snow load you know the the
what you built it at was here and the slow snow load uh criteria was here and now and there might have been room there previously but they moved the code to be here now and this probably didn't change a lot so now there's just not enough margin there and then they raised the
insurance rate yeah right roof collapses true yeah okay I'll uh I'll keep working on that I've got a few things to some more data gather there so next item on the agenda cell phone policy
update um all right we've uh continued to uh put in energy into this the committee's met a couple different times circled back with principles um made some adjustments to you know and a lot of
different considerations um you know considering the attent to the policy was the point of it to begin with improving outcomes for kids by reducing distractions consideration on our ability to enforce it you know and some of that has to do and Dan's here and he can speak to it like we can say no cell
phones at lunch but when we can barely staff lunchroom supervision we're kidding ourselves if we think we're going to be able to adequately staff that in a way where we can realistically supervise it so what's our ability to enforce it we have to make sure we enforce it what's the
developmental age of the kid keeping that that's consideration too you know 18y olds shouldn't be treated the same as five-year olds as related to this consistency um wanting to have some level of consistency there and then also just you know the Vari the devices that
are out there and involved um where buildings have kind of landed or as you can kind of see there's this General description that provides some backbone to the work at the building level we're taking a lot we're taking a
stance on cell phones and devices but then also but then providing specific um kind of decision making or how we're handl in it at that building level via that handbook so um at the
high school secondary is kind we kind of categorized it like secondary and Elementary and we've used that language just because you have big fork that's a kind of a k6 Elementary and our other ones are K5 and so we've used that language Elementary and secondary to
kind of deal with that that first infraction at the secondary level would be handled by the teacher um that was something the teachers I believe kind of brought forward Dan you've been on the committee yes um they wanted to handle that first piece with the student and
then if there was ongoing problems then it would become an administrative type uh issue in the office um I've gotten two emails from parents mostly positive couple concerns one was
medical medical or IEP related uh deal and we have that as policy that's in their IEP or if they have a 504 which we have with some students that are monitoring their insulin levels our blood sugar levels uh there's an exemption for them the other one I think
you all got relative to you know High School this concern that concern and that parent was advocating that it'd be about classroom time which is what the policy and handbook is really targeting so as far as that goes we haven't had a
lot of push back uh that way also you know discussions with respect to the need to mod model this Behavior at the adult adult level as well so teachers and staff owns would need to be put away as well at those same times so um this
is the latest version I guess you know I'm glad Angie's here uh she's on and Dan is here um so I'll uh I'll answer any questions I can we don't usually you know bring policies to a work session
and have multiple readings but this is one of those kind of nuance ones and I want to keep you in the loop along the way so any questions for me or maybe Dan or Angie I I think the policy also would cover a Health Plan put together by the
school nurse or something like that so it wouldn't have to be a five or an I right yep I don't have any problem where we land I'm more concerned on enforcement side of it so we have some consistency and continuity amongst staff amongst
buildings as we know this kid over here has a brother or sister in another building over there this is the way I was treated over here but I'm treated differently over there you know they're going to go home and ultimately it's going to create some potential chaos
for ultimately probably in near well we we got to have chaos and I know the the enforcement side of it that's going to be a challenge no matter how you cut it right so that's totally my concern about it was kind of on that same note the one
that I did kind of circle as additional building consequences may be applied that to me feels like all of their duties as a say J like it could it just doesn't feel good it's like here's here's what you here's the here's the
punishment and if you do it again here's the next one but if there's something in the middle that's in relation to that it should fall under indic policy you know if somebody's being abusive or whatever when they're taking it that to me is different than the cell phone policy
then that becomes more of a behavioral thing like yeah you take the cell phone and here's your first offense we take it again here's a second time the third time your parent has to come in but that other Duty does sometimes to feel good so that might be something like out of a
student handbook right yeah you know yeah to me this number two and the second because the it says students May retrieve his or her device at the office which that's great that's that's but the other one is really just kind of like well whatever we
decide and that doesn't feel good that feels like that's where you get into a kid was treated different here versus here versus here whereas for like you to go to take a student's phone and they start swearing or they're throwing a fit
that's an entirely different you know we're taking the a cell phone here but what you're doing now is under Behavioral or whatever language but otherwise that feels a little bit too wishy-washy for me it's going to be hard to defend is there a better way to say that I don't know what
the punishment is here that they're trying to get at is that where youd say please see the handbook consequences I think the idea and Dan I don't know if you were part of this meeting but if you look at the red line there they were looking at
including that lunch and learn detention like it's kind of a lunch detention where we're going to talk about cell phone rules when you're in here not eating with all your friends um and uh I think that probably got stricken because
it was very specific and you know doesn't it doesn't exactly look like that on that on a day in a particular building then are we kind of doing the opposite where we're you know setting ourselves up where well you didn't do this exactly like the policy
said well I think right now our policy can't stand on it I mean if I a parent be like so what is this after like you took the phone what's that for and I've said this if I was if I had free time student advocacy would be one of my things because I think in some places we don't have clear boundaries
and the clearer you can make the boundaries the easier it is one to defend but two to enact and for people to see and we do this in law enforcement all the time and so I would just say the clearer we can make this whatever the intent was behind that additional like
what is that like if we can't say it here then how could you defend it building to building so is there a way to see it um not necessarily additional building consequences just additional
consequences and reference the student handbook or reference the policies within the district yeah it doesn't say any of that so I'm not sure what this even is is it about the policy in handbook because it's in the violation well you kind of I mean my feeling be it was struck because you
don't want to that it hasn't completely been decided on because we're we're I mean part of it is we have a policy here that we're we're categorizing under secondary which means that Dan's building right Ken's building Darren's building uh we're trying to write a
policy that applies to all those three even though all those three are significantly different and so if we're able to specify into that if we said additional building consequences will be applied based on the respective
handbooks then that gives our ability to adjust based on those buildings I mean would that of address yours you're pointing them to whatever it is that it's going to happen because right now it says maybe apply true meaning we can
decide or not decide and that's based on building building kid kid so for example the the violation could be different depending upon how that violation occurred if sexual harassment was part of it
obviously there has to be an additional penalty other than just taking the phone and that's my point though is that it's still here's the violation of the phone we're taking it the sexual assault violation is under this and that's an
entirely different violation and to pretend like they're together isn't a good thing that's true because I mean it could be too and Dan I don't want to speak for you but my guess is if Dan has to take a a cell phone from a student the student says I understand Mr Adams
or if a kid says you're not taking my fing phone principle um two different stories two very different stories those are going to go different and this isn't this they is a cell phone part of that but there's also anination right part of it that's a different thing so so if we
change that to additional building consequences will be applied based on respective handbooks that would kind of Point yeah I think if you point them back I think it's easier for you to say you know hey I went to take the phone yep and the kid started swearing it was
throwing a fit you know turned into a big thing and it turned into a big thing there's two different things that are happening so student handbooks they are different between Elementary and secondary yeah each building is different then I wouldn't use the word building additional building consequences I would say additional
consequences according to building and y y yes it makes it like we have different cell policies between right yeah you want to reference back to the handbook I like that language Fu
it's not about the phone now it's about we're still taking the pH because you were in violation but now we have now you just made okay which Dan any thoughts about that no that makes sense um we call it the
student conduct code and and it's it's lined up by first offense second offense third offense we're trying to get that align but it would be marginally different for an elementary kid because they're not going to have that degree and not as severe at the middle and more at the high school just because of the
maturity of the kids we have we have to have some variable in there at the discretion of administration so a parent comes forward in questions it references them to the handbook then in that in that particular
sentence to the building consequence it's super helpful good okay that's good good learning that's why I thought it would be good to bring them through here one more time let's good I'm on page three uh letter H what does that mean
cell phones and other devices may be used appropriately and respectfully before and after the start of the school day uh I mean so we've defined when the school day starts as the beginning Bell
yeah and so that means that if a kid is in the you know in the hallway or locker room or wherever else at 8 o'clock before the school day te technically starts they can use their phone bed
it says at and after see yeah same so if they're in the building at 4 o'clock no they can use their phone it says before before and after the start of the school day so before before the start and after
the end yeah that would be that would get at your yeahif that's a good that's good D thank okay yeah other okay yeah right after the start of the day yeah yeah before the start of the day before 8:00
and after 8:00 respect you're not anything I see I see the all right that's good okay I have gon I still feel uneasy about personal prices and I I can't quite articulate all of it but it does make as well un easy yeah it feels
a little bit like over one of the things that I wasn't aware of when I talked to Darren um so when our students take the act or the MCAS or the IV tests they have to take their wearables off yeah I um so I didn't so our kids are used to
the fact that there are times when this thing can't some situations yeah there's some situations where that thing can't be a part of what they're doing and I you know I can't speak for you know
the we're if we're trying to keep up with the technology but there will be implantables before long there are yeah yeah so what was your concern Melissa you know I just think watches and things like that I get some of them have the
ability to transmit without a phone but many of them can't like mine I have to be within so far of my phone for my garment pick up my signal on my phone if I'm not it doesn't it doesn't you know it doesn't
first generation it just sits out but I know like some and some of the wearables you can just get the wearable the phone so Apple I think AT&T you can have it through I I just I think people use you know I mean you use them and they're
they're they're like a watch and they track your blood pressure and they track all of that and it's like I just see a bunch of people just going my kid needs to wear it because you know for health reasons and we need to I think it's gonna get around that's gonna have to go through an IP process because at Summer
Conference they said it's peeds it's got to cover everything because that where terrible if it transmits now again there's there's a work around and that's going to be tricky yeah I just think you're G to get healthcare providers
that are gonna say yep I mean we do now on IEP so we're also gonna have kids that wear long sleeve shirts and have their Apple watch on and we don't even see it yeah and they stay on I mean we will see that that we'll have and we'll have kids I'm sure that don't turn their
phone in and it never comes out I mean we're not going to we're not going to Pat kids down on their way in no to do that and if they C band shly shirts yeah long sleeve yeah yeah or
long sleeve we have a new dress c yeah so I mean there is there's always going to be there's always going to be this place where our ability to to do something you know ends my my comment from the beginning of this is that
if we're able to reduce our issues by even 60% connected to these devices we will have made a significant change in you know what happens in the building even 60% I'm just legislatively they only ask us to deal with cell phones so we have
gone one step further for personal devices and somebody's GNA challenge that yes that's because there's a lot of Old Timers down there that don't have the well they do but they don't know what to call yeah yeah that's probably they do if you look at they don't know
what the other P you're concerned the medical issues and stuff it really puts it in the parents lap to come for with the district and ask for that exception right so that exception gets written in for that kid yeah all right we'll uh we'll make those changes
the it'll come to you next Monday for uh for decision then for approval looks good nice work uh next item on the agenda ISD 318 administration building
update gr uh just briefly uh you're all aware but we did get a purchase agreement draft from the city uh you have a copy now um this is more than double what uh the other offer we had
was um there are couple details that we're working out in here um with the city um so Mitch and Rob are having to work through that we we're under a current we're currently under a
listing agreement um the city is not so I mean that has to get incorporated into here but it'll be some it'll be pretty close to this and hoping to have that smoothed out as well so that you could have this in front of you next Monday um
I was talking to Mark we do have the ability this is one of the four things we can go into full session about if we wanted to I don't know if there's something here that would require us to do that um but if there was something here uh we have the ability to do that
um what does it bring down you know Mitch was explaining that to me a little bit and he didn't quite understand why that was in here either so I'm going to get some clarification on that okay I think he felt like that wasn't necessarily relevant to this particular sale
so I'll get some clarification on that to you um as far as the facility itself we um we're planning on uh this bu this building that we're
currently in the gym here is being cleared out um we have we have some items in here we've told the principles to you know get everything out of there that they think they might need or put their labels on it so we can get moved out
we're GNA have a sale at the end of the month on a Wednesday Thursday and Friday that will include anything in that gym and anything that's still at the admin building there's still quite a bit of stuff over there um you know a lot of onesie twosies chairs
and file cabinets and I'm not real optimistic that we're going to get a rid of a lot of stuff but we are going to do it in a uh best offer kind of format and that helps us with the technicalities of it so if Ben walks in and says here's 20
bucks I'm taking those eight file cabinets there go those eight file cabinets so we're just trying to get rid of things um we'll advertise kind of in our normal ways anything that we don't get rid of uh that we don't want is going to
get he going to go to the dump so um [Music] what have they done with the records um so the a room down the hall here has become a records room and so we took a bunch of
the shelves from that technology space lined kind of rows and rows and rows and rows and that's where the records are yeah could to get rid of it well that I know that they've been trying to micro fish as much as they can Julie you probably know more than I do about that
done a ton in the last couple of years the business office especially so and moving forward they're scanning everything now so it's it's better but there's old old old records in there and some records we have to keep forever yes
I mean as silly as that is so are we gonna run into issues of Ben comes in and offers 20 bucks for those 8 F cabinet Pat madri is coming in I would have given you 25 how come this wasn't V for public bid or whatever I
mean if there any issues with that just I I think as long as as the the items have been determined the value's been determined to be as low as it is that everybody has equal access to the same materials I mean they can everybody can show up on Wednesday at 8 and make an
offer on stuff um I think we'll be okay I think it's important uh remind ourselves that we are reducing the district's footprint and it's a it's a district savings maintenance heating right and we've said that many times
that we're going to reduce the footprint and this is part of that I'm not talking about the building I'm talking about the stuff in the building I'm talking about the building yeah yeah no I'm I'm with you there we've got a pile of uh invest early has a pile of stuff too so though I mean they're going to be just
incorporated into the sale too because they have you know I don't know half a dozen less rooms than they've had before so there's a lot of cribs and so they'll be doing their sale the uh playground that's there is actually
going to go up to Big Fork the canopy that's there is going to go to Big Fork so that's great um what storage building storage building's going to move here and go kind of out here on that you notice there's like a little tar patch here um it's probably gon to go right in
that tar patch I wasn't like crazy about the idea but they some of what will be in that shed is Early Childhood family Ed which they'll do events here for Early Childhood family so and then I was like okay I just I didn't want this to become
storage shed Central you know what I mean you get a permit from the city to have it there any parking spaces parking have required [Laughter]
um let's see and then we'll work once we kind of get through the language in this we'll get a closing date sort of figured out um all we you know Chris Chris Larson is still I told the principales today on my
call it's kind of like the movie Dances with Wolves and I realized how old that movie is because not everybody knew what I was talking about it's very old but that in that movie that movie when Kevin coster's out on that Fort all by himself that's kind of Chris LaRon
right now at uh at the admin building kind of pulling down the fort um and transitioning stuff out of there so Melissa you're looking at me like you never seen I don't remember any of that um I don't really remember it we need to
have adult on this you gotta do what you gotta do John um semi well I guess not entirely related but technology related thing um
Friday we're doing construction we're doing construction at the high school project as part of the high school construction for having to kill power like to everywhere and so that's going to bring down the phones and the internet to all of I ask on Friday so
it's pretty significant deal um and so we've known notified everybody um and uh so that's happening that's more of an FYI than anything it's a huge thing yeah huge think about like how how connected
we really are it's can we just go back to the property at East and I'm serious about I'm guessing if we wanted to do something there the city is going to require us to buy that property for
them how much property is [Music] there's a way to roll it into this m and and I what I would be curious to know is how swampy it is because it's it's east of the softball fields which
is where all that water runs towards the Prairie River so you know that's the unique thing about this big FK property it's pretty high ground there easy to build on um but I'll I'll do some checking to see if what you I'll do some checking on I'm I'm not
sure if we want to buy property yeah yeah well it's not buying you're actually doing a swap we're trying to get it off the Ws remember bats are back there it might be sacred
ground the couple years that's right those whatever they're called or something yeah they were back yeah when we did the I forgot all about that the schools when we did the schools there was some CU they were G to move the
soccer field there soccer field and that was the thing some kind of protected back yeah and they threw I mean it was a big deal yeah reason they want to dump it it's unot that's all I have Mr chair any other
