7
00:01:46.520 --> 00:02:02.680

9
00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:32.520
Um again, I I had made a public records request. It was yesterday, so I know there's there's enough time to to respond to that. Just want some clarification on the work being done at the high school gym. Um

10
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:49.040
if that's part of the original project and those contractors are already under contract to do anything that they're doing, the work they're doing, perfectly understandable, but I just don't know that. I just like to know um how that how that process goes and how

11
00:02:49.040 --> 00:03:06.120
we could as County Hardware Flooring could be um present in the the bidding the bidding out of that of that work. Um I know that this isn't a time for questions where you have to answer me. I just have a concern about um

12
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:21.080
that work being done and us not getting an opportunity for it. If it's part of the original project, then I totally understand. Um some of the school board members are not aware of the situation, so um I just wanted to publicly come and

13
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:38.120
and ask about that. Did anybody in here that that that knows about that situation? Um and how we could be involved in it. I mean, we're very involved in the community. Um should be very easy to get up with. If you look at any of the outfield signs, there's a football field sign.

14
00:03:38.120 --> 00:04:02.760
Um you should be able to to contact us with anything that that school board needs. And if we don't get the work, that's fine. That's perfectly fine. It's just I would like to see um us get an opportunity to to do that work. >> I I know we can we do the floor we do

you know, we'll try to go through another >> Yeah, so so that Senate bill I sent y'all 757 million something so has not been signed, so it's not law yet, but that would set that this is what I >> It's a cap. >> It it's a cap. Um and and it really

38
00:10:52.360 --> 00:11:09.200
should have been done. You know, I tried to get PAC. I told y'all I wanted PAC. That's all I'll be on the same page if somebody doesn't say, "Well, here come over here our PE fees are cheaper." and they'd be a a bargaining chip for recruiting. Um I I felt like it all ought to be the same. I knew we were on a we were the

39
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:25.280
cheapest at a 250 a semester. Um Washington County uh uh Jackson County 500 a sport, so they'll have to come down on theirs. Uh but the the new thing would be 400 for sport. So, the most if kid plays three sports

40
00:11:25.280 --> 00:11:41.120
would be $1,200. Our the most if they here would be $500. Um So, that's that's the the state's come in and done that. So, Horace Mann called me and called some of the a lot of the PAC people and wanted to see what we were doing and what our

41
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:56.800
justification was doing. Um what are some of the costs associated, you know, with that. And um so, we we gave him gave him that. And um I'm going to I'm going to say he wrote it this exclusively, but we had a lot of a lot of PAC districts had a lot of input on it.

42
00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:12.320
We were actually paying cuz we were the ones that kind of started that. >> So, that'll be something in June. >> Uh may not be. That's what he said. You know, it's not law right now. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. I I could be later. I'm thinking June. >> Okay. All right. >> Possibly. >> Thank you.

43
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:29.160
>> I don't know if it'll be by the June meeting, but but we'll have a bunch of meetings. >> It's true. >> Hey, Peter, you got anything to say? >> Uh-huh. No. >> So, you call me in? Uh moving on. Adam Livingston, do you motion to adjourn?
