So let's leave meeting Tuesday 14. >> Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you God for this time to be here tonight. We thank you God for the opportunity to serve you through serving others. And pray right now that you'd uh bless us, Father, to have a great productive meeting as we take care of school
business. Lord, may we have open minds, open hearts, and Father, pray that uh Lord, our our behavior, our conduct, our thought life, God, is all pleasing to you, Lord, as we uh do what you've called us to do and allow us to do. Lord, pray you be with our kids as they
wrap up the school year. Pray, God, that you'd meet their needs, the needs of families, God, be with parents, and Lord, the things that they go through each and every day with their families. Pray you'd be a blessing to them as well. We love you and we thank you in Jesus name. Amen.
I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We got a presentation from Chamber of
Commerce. >> Recognition. >> We just wanted to just say thank you for allowing your culinary class to come and present and do all of our food for our chamber gala. It was wonderful. I had
lots of compliments on all the high schoolers. They were very well-mannered. They were nice, fast, service. They did a phenomenal job, not only on the food, but as talking to different people and communicating with them. We loved having
them. This is our second year having them as our what do you call it? Cers. And we just want to just extend and say thank you for supporting and thank you for allowing the high school to have a catering
let them learn those kind of skills and just to recognize those people. We we're hoping some of them would come that way we could thank them in person but it didn't happen and but we wanted y'all to know as a school board that we are very gracious and thankful for each one of
them >> and Miss Sheila as well. Thanks for all. >> Moving on to item three, public comment. Moving on to item four, superintendent. >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman. They do a wonderful job. We're very proud of our
culinary group. Um just a few things here tonight. Danielle Summers has been selected as our be our new principal. I'm put that in our Monday email. Uh very excited for Danielle in this new role that will be effective July 1. Uh obviously a lot of preparation before
July one, but on on paper it's effective July 1. Uh which is the same for Stephanie and and Laura's uh role. Um district advisory council meeting this Thursday. One of you might have been Jody. Somebody asked about minutes and
some followup on that. So, uh, we do keep minutes of those meetings and, uh, I think it Jody, wasn't that you that asked me for Yeah. Okay. I want to make sure I wouldn't wasn't thinking, uh, wrongly. Uh, I'll forward y'all the minutes as soon as those are done. I'll forward those to you. If you got any questions, you can holler at me. U
Tammy, Miss Tammy Pul does a great job. >> Kyle, if I may, I didn't interrupt you. It is it possible I I think I put in my email that maybe we can kind of do a brief overview of what happened at Sure. >> Absolutely. I can do that in the next next four weeks.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. >> Thank you. >> Um we will be meeting with school leadership for the rest of the week to discuss staffing plans. Uh this is a very busy time for our district administrators. We look at everything. And when I say everything, I do mean
everything. And this is just a just a small list. We look at numbers. We look at current staff. We look at ratios. We look at potential staff. building space, certification areas, everything. Uh trying to figure out uh to make sure that we number one are providing what we
uh need to provide, but also we're being able to live within our means. And I'll talk a little bit about that when I get down to number five. Uh so u some of us are not as available uh over the next week or two to because we we met long time yesterday and we'll meet again
tomorrow, but we start meeting with the the school staff tomorrow. So, uh, if you miss us, we just leave us a message and we'll make sure we get back with you. Very proud of the new track at the high school. Uh, if you haven't been out there, just want to encourage you go out, walk a lap. Um, it it'll be your
feet will thank you. It's so soft and it's very nice. It's beautiful. Uh, Kevin's working on some fencing. Uh, and so we got some quotes for that. Then, uh, Katie and I talked a little bit about best place to catch that from from a funding standpoint. But, um, it it's
just a really great addition. And again, you know, we we want people to use it, uh, in the community. They're more than welcome to come out. We've got some signs up. It talks about what does not need to be on there. Um, and um, you know, we we want we want the community to enjoy it as well, but we want to
protect it. So, the fencing is going to be very instrumental in protecting it because we got to can't the days of driving the homecoming cars around. The girls are just unfortunately over uh because you can't drive cars on on that track. But, um there's there's some
things you can do and some things you can't do. So, we're we're we'll figure a lot of that out as we go along and uh we just want to take care of it. We want it to last many many years to come. Um last week's FADS meeting down in Orlando was very informative. Um, all districts are
losing students to parental choice options. DOE showed up, talked about the accountability. They've got pile millions of dollars missing from these vouchers. A lot of districts counted kids for FTE, but they also received
vouchers. And so there's some Don Gates, Senator Gates talked about some possible, you know, is it fraud? Is it just is it uh bad accounting? Don't know. But there's there's a lot of question marks with it. the um it's not
just in Liberty County where student excuse me sorry um where students are taking those parental choice option. In fact, DOE encourages that. It's the new normal. We've got to deal with it and we have been dealing with it. Um one thing it does do is for counties like ourselves that are so heavily dependent
on state dollars when we don't have a lot of property tax revenue, you know, Monroe County is about the opposite of us. I think we're about, you know, 955 and they're about five, you know, they they get about 5% state fund and 95% comes from Key West and all
those properties down there. We're just the opposite. Um it it's going to it's it takes a hit when you lose kids. Uh Union County lost 139 kids uh this year and so it has put them in a in a statutory term called financial distress or financial emergency. Financial
emergency read my thing. It used to be financial distress, but it's called financial emergency. DOE comes in and runs a finance program for them. So, so D the commissioner wants a ch a chair and a board. And it doesn't mean that
the the existing school board is not running. But that one thing they're not doing anymore is finances. So, they work with the superintendent and then, you know, a lot of times they'll come in and they'll how much do we need to come up with? Well, in one case, like my union, it's multiple $5 million to get them
over the 2% mark. So, they start you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired. Okay, how much did that come up with? And that's about how they do it. >> Um, and they bring that board in and and the last county to do that, I mentioned Monday morning was Jefferson County, and
they actually, the state, you know, put a charter school in there to handle that. And then of course there was a lot of controversy around some of the things that happened there with the c the charter companies that come in and came in and made money and got got out. But uh I did talk a lot with and if you'd
like to talk with me, you know, uh come to the office talk about I did talk with Mike Ripinger who is the superintendent. Me and him went to uh superintendent training together. I know Mike really well. He's a Union County superintendent. Then uh Dr. Beth Barfield is the superintendent Blaze.
She was also in that superintendent training. We talked a lot about things that, you know, they saw were coming, some of the things that they're struggling with. Now, you know, I want to be coachable and and I think we constantly have to be keep our ears open and eyes open to hopefully that will
never happen here. But, uh, you know, if we have another outflow of students leave, uh, you know, for parental choice options, which they're entitled to do, you know, we're still, our costs don't change a whole lot. you know, whether you have 22 in a classroom or or five in
a classroom, the cost for, you know, operating a classroom, a teacher, and all that stays the same. And that's where it's very difficult to budget for because you tip you you're really not going to know until about August when school starts exactly what your student numbers are going to be. Step up, which
handles the PEP scholarships, excuse me, for for the students, um, have had some deadlines and now, you know, it seems like there's a a moving deadline and don't know what that is right now. So I just say we'll we'll we
can plan we can plan we can plan but I will you know hold out reserve the right that if we get down to August and we have a uh you know students that have decided to take that as an option that we may have to make some kind of personnel adjustments at that time. Uh
we'll try to not not do that in advance but that would be a worst case scenario. Um, we've have seven applicants for the district safety specialist position, which is Ricky's job. Ricky will be retiring at the end of the school year in May. Uh, we'll be setting the interviews up uh this week for next
week. We'll we'll do that. Got some really good applicants. I'm very very excited about that. Uh, 21st Century, I mentioned to you, I sent you an email a couple weeks ago that that uh funding had been released, which was not a guarantee. It has. uh we have submitted
our application. The fir there there's kind of two big lists for that. The first one is uh if you're really struggling academically, you kind of get on a a preferred list to begin with and we did not make that list and that that's kind of good and bad. Um but
hopefully with uh you know some of the things that we did uh put some of the areas that we need extra help after school and also our lack of after school care in Liberty County uh they've not turned us down ever. There's always that chance for a first. So it's not a done
deal yet. We're still we're still talking. Jesse is beating the bushes over there. She talk talked to the director every day this week. So, uh, we won't we definitely want to have our opportunity to to have 21st century here in Liberty County. It'll be devastating if we do. Um,
lastly, our district leadership has been meeting all this week. We'll continue to meet regularly. I've kind of mentioned this as we close one year, prepare for the next one. Uh, really appreciate your uh, patience as we navigate some challenges keeping public education stellar in our county. We have PM3
testing in a few weeks. Uh, and we're feverishly trying to maximize every instructional moment that we have left. As y'all well know, as parents and staff end of the year, you got all manner of field trips and ball games and state tournaments and all kind of stuff. And
it's very tough to uh to to maintain uh, you know, momentum in the classroom because of the distractions. that we're going to do our best to make sure that we have bell-to-bell instruction as always and try to utilize every moment that we have. So
anyway, those are my items. I'll piggyback on the culinary thing. Uh we found out this week we we knew it was probably coming. We got verification this week. The state's been giving us certifications for culinary. So it was a a CTE course, a career technical
education or vocational. they're not going to they're not going to recognize that as a vocational coursing starting next year. So, we got so we got some decisions to make. So, we'll put that be part of our all things talked about is they're not considering that as a vocational course for credit and
certifications anymore. So, that's been one of the great things that's helped us uh be number one in the state for acceleration and is those certifications and now they're taking that and it's statewide. They're taking that program away. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Move right on item

motion motion Mr. Singleary second >> second Mr. K, any discussion? >> Yeah, I do have one item that's kind of a a thought here. Um, I mentioned it to Superintendent Petty a moment ago and it just kind of thinking out loud, maybe get the head of basically pertaining to
parent organizations, booster clubs, other funding activities. It sounds like that's all falling under the heading of direct support organizations. Um, and there's it it sounds like there's going to be a lot of different requirements pertaining to fundraising organizations that are raising dollars for kids,
clubs, things of that nature. Um, I I'm wondering what type of information we may want to send or share from the school district to try to get that out to make sure that individuals know to be
in compliance with these guidelines. Um just general general thoughts. I mean just trying to make people aware um that these things are are being updated or changing. As far as the the requirement of saying, "Hey, listen. If you're an organization that's raising money, you
need to let the district know you're on a list of approvals. You're you're I think there might be an insurance component of it. You're sub financials in end." So it seems like it's it's kind of a a bigger deal and and maybe would be good to make sure that everybody is aware. um that's that's doing
fundraising. Um the schooling kind you might have a plan in place to help with that, but that's just kind of my thought one one item there. >> Part of you know part of the the genesis behind this is you you hear about fraud that takes place with you know
throughout the country PTO's sports groups where people are bezling money you know and it's just it's everywhere. Churches too I put churches in that same thing. It just happens especially in cash driven type things where people come in and you know and it's just hard to account for. Usually the person who
takes up the money is the one that's counting money and and so um we get audited on all the things that involve cash. Uh every year we have school audits and then we have our our reg our regular state audit and of course those auditors are here about 10 months out of
the year every year by design by statute. uh most of the organizations that we have now with the exception of probably the bulldog club which you know kind of has been around. It used to be the quarterback club at one time and all of that. Uh most of them we we have
tried over the last four or five years to to get a school account. So make sure that money um it's still going to be you know again when you're dealing with cash now some schools have got where they don't do cash anymore. They're doing um
you know you you buy the tickets in advance. Some of the venues that we go to ball games, they'll say buy your tickets >> uh in advance or whatever and you do it online and you show up or whatever that you paid online. That's one way to eliminate the cash thing, you know, the problem cash and you know any
proprietary come with that. But you're always going to have concession stand and things like that and and I'm I'm a little bit I think it's unamerican if we get rid of cash. So, uh, yeah, we we'll absolutely make sure that, you know, those folks are doing, but so far we've been pretty good at getting people if
you want to have a support group, make sure you have a school account and there's some accountability, you know, with as the money's taken up, how it gets back to us in that account. Any opposed? >> Oh, you move me up. >> You did. Go ahead.
>> Well, you authority. You're the chair. >> Well, go ahead then. >> Okay, I'll take it. to see what you guys only have three items. Um, >> nothing changed. >> Now I have three items. So, did we ever
register as a vendor for the PE scholarship? >> We did not. >> We did not. Is there a reason why why we haven't? I was told the other day that somebody hasn't gotten reimbursed so >> from >> I guess he couldn't they couldn't file
against or the school didn't register. >> They have to up step up. Huh? >> They have to take that upper. >> That's not us. >> That's not us. Is there is do we need to register as a vendor? I know we talked about that at one time. >> Um I'm I'm not for doing that at this
time. It adds extra work to our finance staff. Number one. And number two, there's a system already in place for them to get reimbursed. Okay. >> For their expenses. >> Okay. So, you're not in favor of that? >> Not not at this time. >> Okay. Step up does have very clear guidelines
for them to get reimbured. The parents have to come in the paperwork that they have um like they need to work things a certain >> it may just be their receipts when they find done quite right because everyone that we've had come in that we know
about they've gotten reimbursed with >> Okay. All right. >> So it may be something that they just need help with step. >> Okay. Step up. Okay. Got it. Um, I sent I had asked Renee to send this out and I think she did. We're all
getting um texts and and calls or Facebook messages about >> messenger. Yeah. Um about donating and my question was do we want to go as a consolidation of as a board we've done
in the past for a lot of these things. You got project graduation coming up. You've got teachers appreciation coming up. Um Kyle's normally just asked if we want to do that for teacher appreciation. So my question is kind of to the board. What what are your
feelings on this? What do you want to do? >> I'm already individually done, you know, given money or whatever. I mean I don't but I have given like you know to the PTA or whatever but >> right
>> like one got yesterday >> right >> okay >> okay >> and then for different for different ask we decide how much as a board we want to give I mean it's not like
>> well they're really not asking us they're not giving us a limit I mean >> an amount then we can get together. That's something we can talk about as board members without >> those are not agendas. Those are not >> Hey, what do y'all think?
>> Keep talking. >> Okay. >> Um, >> I'll hit y'all. You know, I usually send y'all I have a form email that says we're doing teach appreciation week in a couple weeks. Any want to give, right? >> And that's just totally up to y'all. I always say to, you know, in my email to the the staff today, we got $25 gift
card from Jody Bailey. We got a 25 from Mason, whatever. >> So, it is okay if if I know like Renee, I can have Renee do it. Um, you know, if we just want to say >> contact us, you know, be best to tell
whoever's asking to contact me and I can pull >> I don't have you. >> Okay. You don't mind doing that? >> You don't? Yeah. I know you take care of us in so many ways, but >> thank y'all for doing that. That that's a that's a hit with our our teachers.
They that that's a real blessing to them. They >> we all want to. I just I figured every day. And let me tell you something. My phone from se I send that out about 7:00 during that week and Hillary and say get away from me with that phone cuz it's just blowing up
people to put their name in it. So that they that's a real blessing. >> Yeah. And instead of having >> one from two from Jason, two from Dave, two from Boo, you got 10 from the school board, >> right? >> Yeah, I can do that. And I think if y'all want if y'all want to do it
corporately and just get together and put put an amount in, y'all just tell me what you do and if and then what I'll do is say today's from the school board. >> Yeah. >> But if y'all want to be named individually, I'm I'm okay with that. You know, >> however, however you direct me, that's what I'll I mean, we started doing
sports that way. So, >> yeah. Let's just continue on. >> Okay. Um, last item, the gold dog at the fieldhouse. I just have my little sticky note. Have we heard anything? >> Donnie is is my chair of that. And so,
he has found a some it's I think it's fiberglass. Uh, something that's going to be weather resistant. I It's got to be mighty tough to be fiberglass, but um it's got some kind of coating on it. He's supposed to be getting me. He every time I see him, he said we got to get together. So, >> okay.
>> He's found one. >> Okay. All right. >> Don't know anything about calls. Don't know how to how to mount it or nothing cuz you're going to have kids that ball game going to probably climb up on it. You know, >> is it going to take a cement? >> It's going to have to be on you have to anchor it some kind of way
to get it up. >> What's going >> I'm not following. Well, it's and and I may be calling it some it may not be fiberglass, but it's something that's Mr. Secretary. >> It's not It's not He found one that was like bronze or something like that and
it was like $80,000 and he was like doing that one. >> Secretary, you remember seeing them ones up there out of concrete and grafting that catfish and that turtle and all? >> I don't know if he has he looked at that. >> He's found one. He's found one
somewhere. I think up in University of Georgia. I think what he found was concrete like >> concrete. I said maybe >> yeah maybe concrete with fiberglass on the outside of it.
>> Yeah, it's got some kind of coating on it. Yeah, we had forgot about >> could be epoxy on. >> It ain't going to be planted somewhere where the where the guys can run out and touch it on the way by or something >> straight out in the door. >> Straight out from the lock. >> So this fencing >> so kids will be crawling all over it
during games. >> Yeah, this fencing deal is incorporating that in there. I mean >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Good. Good. >> Okay. >> All right. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Um,
so several things I appreciate superintendent all he does to take care of business. I know it's a busy busy time. Um, Miss Jody, I like the idea about the district advisory council meetings being maybe rehashed here. That that could be good information. Thank you for bringing that up. I appreciate it. Um, fencing, thank y'all very much
for looking at fencing football field. Um, I really appreciate y'all looking into that. Um, Miss Katie, thank you for the financials. I appreciate it. They're great to review to know where we're at. Uh definitely eagerly looking forward to budget review and processes. I know you
are too. So, it's going to be a good time. So, thank you for your time in that. I appreciate you keeping us keeping us in order. Um the water tower, uh I'm sure everybody's noticed it. I just want to publicly say thank you to the city of Bristol. I think it looks amazing. I don't know who all was
involved in that, but it looks great. I I think it I think it's great. I think it just completes the look out there in the field. Track looks great. Fieldhouse looks great. I mean, it it's really going in the right direction. So, all that took from that, it gets much much
appreciated. Um, hopefully somebody somebody hears me speaking can convey it. I know I already had different ways. Um, Mr. Ricky, I know that Kyle mentioned there are seven applicants. I appreciate Mr. Ricky and all his service. >> Phenomenal. Phenomenal. >> Very much so. Hank's done a great great
job. I appreciate representation from the sheriff's office here. Thank you for being here. I appreciate it. I appreciate our schools being safe. Um, pertaining to the vendor vendor registration that Jody was talking about, I I' I'd 100% be interested on
board with that and kind of absolutely appreciate um needing to to work things in, having capacity and timing hit right. Um I do think it would be benefit to to parents um you know financially I I do so if if that could be incorporated
at the right time right method when we have the right capacity it'd be appreciated be looked at. So I appreciate you you mentioned it in that way saying maybe not at this time but maybe future time gathering. So thank you for that. >> Um let me see here. I think I have one
more one more thought. >> Do I have my three minute limit? Oh, I can't I can't forget this one. So, I did I did receive um another call and calls pertaining to what I had mentioned last um last week just to see where
people's thoughts were, where the board's thoughts were pertaining to um athletic recruiting and assistance, maybe something like a supplement. Um I don't know if the board had a chance to kind of think about that or finance. I know we're in the middle of budgets. I know that they're going to be
constraints. Um, but again, I think it could be a good idea if we can maneuver funding in the right capacity to be able to uh provide a supplement to give a benefit to someone that's really focused on athletic recruiting through all the high school.
>> I just had a thought. Hold on. >> It's about this. >> Yeah. What about what about um like our beta club or somebody that these kids that go
to the games or whatever that we maybe recruit >> service hour? What do you mean? You talking about like a service hour? You >> I'm think trying to think out of the box like it it wouldn't put any extra work on our staff to do this. Um
I don't want to think out a lot. >> Yeah, I think it depends on the size and scope of what what your objective is and what what expertise you need to know. >> Could be a big deal. It could be, >> you know, just salary and something else too. Keep in mind too that this would
also have to be possibly a union negotiated item be brought up. Yeah, >> something decides. >> One of my thoughts was I think >> as a board and not being experts at the
topic. Maybe that's something before we come up try to come up with anything we sit down and talk to all the coaches about and get get their input. See what they think would be because they're they're more involved with with sports and the next level.
see what their their thoughts are on, you know, there we may have a coach now that or an assistant coach that be very >> we have kids getting scholarships every year >> and that's great but if we could have
more kids one more kid get one that would be even better but >> and I know what you mentioned at the last >> that's exactly right I mean more if you if you have I think There are three are there three three gals from softball I think scholarships. There's one in in
football that's from Nebraska that that's here in our school system right now. So I mean say you have four or five kids on scholarship of doing something like this could double it. I mean you're talking about a big deal, you know. So and kind of my my my heart and my mind
in this is I know a lot of people are wearing a lot of hats and have a lot of responsibilities and I think there's just a limit at what individuals can do. Um, you know, that's that was the general thought of if there could be a supplement, if we need to be negotiated, if it need to be discussed, we could
discuss it budget-wise. Um, could we maybe find somebody that's willing to step in for some dollars through if it makes sense? And and I do, Jody, I do like that idea pertaining to data. I think like stat entry, things like that are not maybe in my mind, I mean, a
coach without speak of not overly complicated. this person had this many hits, this many catches, this many errors, right? It would save time on the coaches where they can devote their time to making calls, contacting colleges, you know, saying good things about these kids to help them in the scholarship
process. So, my idea of it and and it makes sense from what I'm hearing you my thought is you free time up to coaches, they can make contacts to help kids get recruited. That that's the bigger picture. >> A good resource to talk to. I've asked this question. I got two that work under
me. One of them's playing college ball and the other one will play college ball. You need to talk to your resources already here. They them two right there can tell you what needs to be done because they already got it. They're getting it and already got it. And 90%
of it is parents. That's what they say. Parents responsibility. >> Yeah. Well, the parent takes it on as their responsibility. I mean, y'all travel ball. >> That's who does it.
>> And then the other part is coaching is it's the coach's responsibility too. >> Yeah. >> That's the reason people go to different schools. Reason some play here go to bunch play baseball good friend of Jason just because of that because of the coach does that.
>> Yeah. I I think though back to what I said, if we get if we sit down and talk to the go, they may they may have some great ideas or they may say, you know, whatever, but >> it would be a good thing. >> They may they may steer us. >> Yeah.
>> Well, let us know if that's something we maybe need to do to make a supplement for that for that position or not. But when you come to the sad entry in public, I mean 15 years of 20 years been I mean it's
pretty much online game changer sitting there almost instant instantaneous but it's only as good as information you enter it. >> Yeah, I can >> you know I mean so what one person may think is this may not be that. You know
it's still got a human effect but the the data is going to be there if you have somebody there. I remember mid Jerry Mus and I mean you could look at it at 30 second intervals it was already there you know baseball >> they've all done the same match prepared
>> all your data is on max prep of it that's the reason I say somebody's got >> that is a huge need entry stat entry is very >> stat entry is tough it is very tough I had to do it midnight after a game
trying to get in there because they couldn't do it the next day basketball >> and >> and it's good experience for you know especially computer I've done you know they learn kind of things like that that's the reason I was thinking you make the students there's a lot of
students they are already holding you know and then maybe this is something that they could just >> probably a lot faster than anybody else >> that's the easiest part of getting food out front is getting your videos are calling >> oh I Okay. Well, I know this kid's not
going to be D1, but a D3 scholarship is just a good D1 to get paid for. >> If you want an education, then probably possibly get paid for, right? You know, the next level of stats should not be fil, you know, I mean, good quality film of someone that can be watched. I mean, that that's is super important for for
coaches and the collegiate level that are maxed out on top, too. They can watch film. They can watch few minutes of film and they can see, hey, this kid's got it. This kid doesn't got it. So forth. So, I don't know if there's anything techwise that we're doing in school that, you know, might could help me convert it into if the kids are doing
anything that I could help edit them or something. I don't know. Just trying to think outside of the box and and bring this up um from individuals that are interested. And I I do agree it could be a great idea to really help help our our kids move to the next level and have, you know, successful careers.
>> I think I'm with you, Mason. I think it's a good concept. Um, but I I I think the coaches need to have some input here because and and to be, you know, all honesty, I think maybe, you know, they need to talk
to the superintendent as well. >> Yeah. >> Not just talk to other people and say, "Hey, we'd like to have this. Let's go talk to the superintendent." Yeah. They need to talk to the superintendent, you know, and so it's his employees, you know, that's our it's all
>> and all involved assistant coach because everybody's got >> what is there a need? Is there a true need and and Kyle can make that determination? >> Yeah, that's fair. So anyway, thanks for hearing me now on that. Yes, sir. I don't
>> I want to see all the scholarships we can get. Academic, athletics, anything, fishing, wrestling. I guess that's it. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair, for coming out tonight being with us and thank you ladies for coming representing Chry.
Thank you. Thank you, St. Jason. >> Thank y'all everybody for Devin. You said you had quotes. You didn't mention that, did you? >> No, sir. We uh M gave me to explain to
We got uh got a quote from Braceful. Mr. >> Will you Will you Sorry. Will you explain I don't know if everybody knows exactly what it's going to look like. Will you explain that? >> Uh I presented a map to Mr. Petty and um we're going to come a foot off the track
all the way around it. So from the Have y'all went out and looked at the track? Now it goes in front of the old concession. That's going to be your long jump, high jump, triple jump. So we got to block that off. There will be You can't use the old concession anymore. He's going to use it for storage.
>> So the fence that come from the corner of the old set concession stand up to the ramp going up to the home side >> on the north end. >> On the north end. Yep. I just wanted to turn and go to the fence and stop people from going to the
old concession halfway because he's going to do his What do you say he was doing there, Mr. Coach Lewis? >> That's the post. That's what he's going to do behind that pole, man. So, we got to block that off. And then on the vizard side, it's going to come north
from the new concession just past the visitor bleakers. That way the ambulance can still come in the gate and park if they need to get to the field. The visor team can come from the old fieldhouse through that gate to get to the field which have to be a mat put down for them
to run across. The public won't be able to get there. They'll come in the new ticket booth and they'll go to the concession whatever and then they go to the bleachers and they cannot go past the fence. Nowhere around that. >> So where the ambulance normally parked. It's >> still parked there. public won't be able
to get there doing it. >> It'll just be fenced off. >> It just be fenced off. Am will be in there. You can do your handicapping if you want to. Still in there. All that stuff still be there. Got to give them access, emergency access. You got to give the other team access. And then
when we get to the new uh fieldhouse where the bulldog is going to be, I put a a double gate there so it'll come back so you can run back forth through there. And once the team comes in there, you close that off. Not a key picture from getting on the track
>> and and from the south end ramp of the home side >> come around >> foot off the track all the way around the south end >> then there's a gate then it keeps going on the visitor side >> there's a good picture of Leon High
School. Have you seen that? >> That's what I'm envisioning it look looking like. They got a fence just they got the exact same trash and a black I got a quote Mr. Davis thanks Mr. Davis. There's a bunch of us that are talking from around the track putting
black chain fence. It's rubber coated. Talk about if you lean against it won't cut you. I mean, and it looks so nice. And then I got a quote without using black and it's 20 $2,600 difference
to black versus not. That means >> that's a lot of black. You done a $2,600 difference between regular chain and heavy chain. >> Somebody made a mistake. That's a lot of
>> Why' you say $2,600 between you can't do >> the difference between the two quotes? >> Not my fault. I mean, I ain't decode anything.
I ain't going to take the price out, but there they are right there. This one's this much and that one's that much. This is black and that's not >> Yeah, here it is right here. A picture of it. >> I got a map I can send. Do you have a
map? So in front of the in front of those home bleachers now about a foot, Mr. Rnr put some white rock for the drains. So we want to come off the track about a foot. Put a little
border against the fence and put that white rock all the way around the track to keep from weeding because the weeders going to tear up the road. >> Oh, absolutely. >> London can't get them. It tear it up. So we just put a border there to keep grass from dribbling the rock and just spray spray the rock
>> just spray rock keep the grass >> and put a little border to keep the the rock from going outside you know like a little skateboard >> that's you know we got to come up with the money miss gun's gone you know you
see that price there Mr. Satson puts some hard money away to help the dispensing and then we can use capital outlay for the rest of it because it's time RTC uses it and he uses it. So we use that same
she said we take he's good with all I need to good she got money >> it's beautiful I mean I mean we all it already looks >> oh it's amazing it looks so good >> I'm just so I'm very very proud of it um
and I was going to ask Kyle about the signs make sure that we got signs up because I know we've already had a couple comments on the Facebook post. Oh, we good luck with that, you know. But >> we do signage, do our best and
softball game is going to pull on it. >> Yeah, >> somebody's gonna have to drive. >> So, we need y'all good. be over.
>> Did they give you a timeline on that? >> They can get through it pretty quick. They said they work it in. >> Okay. >> We go ahead and act on it. >> And that's four. We should talk about three and then we said too many people go over four. That way you can sort of lean on them.
>> Still be stuff here to me. help me good with it. >> Uh, one more thing, Mr. P. 21st century. >> Yes, sir. >> That's a done deal for this summer, right? >> For a budget done. >> That was in the summer. Some of those program days, >> right? We do.
>> We do have that. >> Three weeks like has been in the past. Somebody asked me that question the other day. >> That's all I got. Thank you all everybody. Thank y'all for coming to >> I just finish it up by saying thank
y'all. I got one question for Kevin since baseball softball started for the pump out we did over there. >> We're good. >> How long is that going to hold us for? >> We good. We Mr. might have come back and has redone some pumps and all. Right now
I'm good. >> But I haven't heard any issues any issues while I was there. I haven't seen it coming out. >> So Mr. um Stephen Hobby started his own business and uh that Mr. Hall Mr. Hall was doing so he started
our pumpkins again for them schools. But that set off was tremendously. you went over and explained to me that really made a difference >> and gave us a very fair price. >> So, sorry again. Um cuz this was something that you know I think we had
talked about with >> does not need to go away. >> Does not need to go away. Wood ain't going away. It's right there. Long sticky notes don't disappear right there. >> I shouldn't say this, but not all the wood. It has not boiled up out of the
ground yet. That's unusual. >> I think I've asked you this. Do you have like a budgetary quote on what this >> we talking million dollar? >> Okay. I mean >> it would be good to start looking at a
budgetary. I'm just saying be good at that request. That's something we'll talk about. >> I don't want under request. I want to over request >> at least a 20%. Because that's what I've seen us what I'm saying is we may get a budgetary quote do a legislative budget
request. I'm just talking and I don't want to overstep Kyle because I mean he does the LVR. So what I've seen in the six years I've been here, it takes a year to get that thing and then everybody then it goes up. So I I mean
I'm I may be talking out of term, but >> it does. We need we need a little we need a buffer. We need about a 20 I would say a 20% buffer at least. >> So So 150% agree with you. Problem is with that is until the legislature starts
changing some statutes. Um I sat in on special facilities. Uh Kevin's been a part of that when we go make presentations for for what we do. So when they approve a school for special facilities, they did it with our high school. They they just did it with
Bradford, Lefett, and there was one more. Uh I'm sorry, I'm just totally but I was I was the superintendent representing that and we got to vote and rank them. They all got funded, but you still have to rank them for statute.
>> The problem is there's such a delay in time between when they approve the project >> Yeah. >> and then the actual construction project. Like in the pool business for us, Blaine, you know, when he sells a pool and he's got a one-year wait list, he won't tell them a price now cuz that
price could change. That's what happens in construction. Any kind of construction. Yes. >> And so, but the state is bound by that first number because they going per student station. So, there's a lot of nuances with those kind of things that by the time you get the money, yeah,
it's gone up 15% or 20%. and they won't let you overbudget, you know, for for a lot of things like >> budgetary quote >> can be >> well it can it can but I bet that you can but you got to be careful with that
because it's kind of like um so it's on the fieldhouse we got 985 >> needed a little over that but I was told if I get over million you're not going to get any of it. >> So that's the that's a little bit of the wiggle room because they want you to have some skin in the game. They want you to have a little bit of skin in the
game. So that's where we've been able to take a little cap. Katie's been able to pull some capital outlay money to to supplement. We knew I asked for the bus one year, but we knew in advance that capital I'm calling the capital U. Yeah, it's capital. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah,
capital. We was going to buy be able to buy a bus the next year. >> Okay. So then I'm going to come back. I'm going to ask for another bus. >> Couldn't ask for buses back to back, you know, but by the time we order them and the time we get them, >> it's a year. It's a year later they bump up. But but I have to justify what
prices are now. >> Yeah. >> You see what I'm saying? If they they want to know what is a bus cost you right now. If I tell them 155,000 that's what it cost at that time. I call I say Kevin what's the new bus cost? 155. I have to show them what that bus I have to give them specs all that kind of
stuff. But then guarantee you by the time we get the money it's 165 170. >> This last bus that Mr. Py asked for 155. When we got 170. >> Yeah. And and so what you're saying is what Jody's saying is ask for a buffer, but
what you're saying is the state is not going to consider that. They >> they're going to give you they're going >> so for the bus I had >> for the bus I had to be specific. >> For the other I was told for whatever million dollar wasn't going to get it. >> So >> ways to do it.
>> I'm gonna leave right now. >> We got 985. I'm pretty proud of that. >> Yeah. I proud every dime we get. Absolutely. But this this is a big project. >> It's got to be a big project. >> Yeah. >> And it's a while. >> It's got to be done. Even if even if
it's a if it's a capital outlet project and we do it over a period of time, it's got to be done. So >> we could right now hopefully we all be retired before we have to deal with, but I don't think it >> when we do it, we we need to do it all
at once, right? >> Yes, sir. multiple people about different ways to do it. The tanks before the drain field problem, they start running over and then your stuff goes into that drain
field and stops it up. >> And all that bad design. >> It's a very bad design, but it's the only option you had with the with the area that you had. There was no other option. You know, obviously it's going to be a big big request and I don't know
if it can come from multiple different sources, but it could be a good opportunity at that time to discuss sprinkler system upgrades, lights for fields. I mean, like there could be there'd be a lot of things that while everything's demoed out there, you could go in and do it all at one time. If you
could get different funding sources to facilitate it, it'd be an opportunity time to do that. From the school standpoint, if we could lobby to run it to the to the city up here was by far the best thing we can do. That was the
option when we first built the school. What did that look like? >> I don't know how close you remember what the money that was a lot of money. But >> so you're talking about popping down in the ditch is what the way to the prison all the way
>> to the steady sword. That was that was discussed and that's what should have been done but it >> there you go said you had to put skin in the game and we didn't have it. >> So with that so with something like that I mean that can very well fall in line
with different type of engineering projects of different people in the community get on that same system. Well, >> so I mean you're looking at a bigger picture between, you know, Posford, the county working on the board of county commissioners, engineers, >> there's rural grants there for that, but you got to, you know, got to go before
the city because if they don't agree to it, it's out, you know. >> Yeah. >> At that time, they were, it was, they needed the extra flow because they didn't have enough. Now, I don't know now that have been discussed years. >> So, that that may very well be an
option. We need to talk to some of the >> for the school side of it. We way better off to do that cuz then you got to deal with this 20 years later. You just pay them monthly fee. That's it. >> Yeah. All in that mess up >> just like they redone the sewer. They
sat by the sewer up here at Smith and Hall circle because it's rule. >> You do the same thing as there all in that fuel two birds. Whoever sets out with the funding of that of that grant, you know, they can facilitate all this
and be a benefit to, you know, all the the citizens along that that corridor area. I like anything closing comments don't have any need a motion meeting
