We strive to engage a respectful discourse during our meetings and ask that public comment speakers keep that in mind and speak speakers should introduce themselves for the record. So there's nobody in the room for public comment. Do we have anybody online? Don't appear.
We will move to the next session. Um we've already moved to executive session. Um do we need a motion or just pursue it too? Um yes. So um
a motion. Um I I will make a motion to adjourn to executive session to return to open session afterwards. Um pursuant to Mass General Law C3A section 21 A3 to discuss strategy with
respect to collective bargaining with ASE if an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the committee and is declared by the chair. I'll second. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Move to executive session and then return to open session. We now open assembly. We have a motion to um approve the memory item between now and school committee for the period of 71 2025
through 6:30 2026. Second. Thanks everyone. Um, great. Finance subcommittee report. Uh, yes. Yeah, finance um subcommittee meeting last um Wednesday uh talked
further about the um update to the projected deficit for 20 within FY25 what that number is where you actually expected things associated with that. Um
and we talked about that for a while. We also talked about this meeting by 26 numbers mean a bit what the concerns we talked about by 26 calendar what we want to do how we want to coordinate with other boards and things like that um
make sure that that is um improving on that process every year uh we further talked a bit about the reporting stuff but we we waited we didn't dive into it too much um looking forward to getting your input on that Sorry. No, you're
fine. I just running out of fat. I'm blaming you. We just ran out of time management. Um, yeah. I'm also pulling up my notes just to make sure we're getting We talked a bit about the state funding
timeline, too. That's it. Still has not come through unless they exchanged since last Wednesday. So, still waiting on things for that information. Um, we did just get um a note from the business official saying
that the conference committee um released their final report to allocate the fiscal year budget. So that was just that just came in progress. Sorry. No, in general we got to figure
out some trying to coordinate things to go officially requests for the funding from the one committee to have department. So that's obviously what they asked for. That's what they're expecting.
schedule that. So I think the only other thing was the conversation around um ro of the job kind of really this as this goes on and and where we are seeing some of the the budget um issues really points to
the needs of HR rule that will really help moving forward. I think having that agency doesn't help anything. Um, so really just to the urgency [Music] basis and having it as a it's not a
full-time position, but I think having somebody in there I think is essential and that that will really I think help with the FY26 budget. there been progress on the tri board. So I watched the select board meeting and
just some of the information going on that's very different than the like original meeting we had with them. It's fine. They seem to they had a first draft of like talking through it as a select board. They seem to be moving forward with the idea of having planning board member. They're not pushing back on that at all. So it seems like that
will happen. They also talked to their meeting about having community member as a part of it. Something we originally talked about and sense from an initial conversation from the refs like there was no
question be changing which is fine. Um so I think that's something that works public one personally agreed upon is two in their meeting. So that is they had an initial reading
though on it and even when they were talking about the the public member they were talking about that person being a non- voting member but all the members are not voting no I was in the committee so like there were some things within that conversation that honestly confused me a
little bit and so yeah just to make sure we're still very alarmed on the purpose of those things they did also They want to have a the initial creation
they want to have a um an inate in terms of the committee reevaluating his committee is is working accomplishing it mission or should be adjusted somewhere not just so
initial discussion at least term change That's it. Um, we do have a vendor warrant. I just don't see the motions. I have one last
28. Yeah. If I probably Yes. Okay. Uh all right. All right. I will make a motion to approve vendor warrant 48 uh
dated 612 2025 in the amount of $891,715.35. Questions on that? All in favor? Thank you. to provide. Okay. Um so we met a week ago um on June
9th with Jones made introductions all around um uh in terms of we got a report from the consolidates consolidated facilities director um Tom McCarthy. Um, in terms
of the Cunningham 4th floor movers are coming Friday try to do June 20th. Uh, so right soon this school ends to pack up everything that's not going to be needed uh, prior to the completion. Uh, he talked about some other things that they did. The kitchen floor uh, Pierce
will be replaced with an epoxy floor that will be a little bit more durable and more cost effective when repairing it. Um so um it and then the other thing that they're looking at doing is upgrading the s uh the sound system at the high
school which should be done over the summer. Uh there are some um they're repaving some sections of the high school in Zach of Tucker and some um they might be able to also get Pierce done as well if uh if there's money available. Um I did actually we did have
our first guest at the last facilities meeting. Um Alex Hash was part of the climate action planning committee chair of that committee. So he was at our meeting and he was very much interested in looking at um you know being in part
of the conversation on our HBAC uh upgrades that we have to do. So, um, Thomas and working with the company guardian energy management and they give us a proposal for Glover. Obviously, it's very pricey and Alice kind of shared what he does for the committee
and um, his committee and that there are, you know, incentive programs available and things that we can look up and grants as well. Um, so we had a good discussion about that. We also discussed um about um
um about you know that there are a lot you know he said that in 2022 the um Massachusetts passed a lawsuit um that would get our emissions down to zero by 2050. So he said that um you know he
kind of talked about um looking for ways to electrify and identify ways to add more to the grid. So um so and he also talked about his like how they meet monthly and you know kind of put the cell once he wanted to go in our community.
So anyway it was good and we um talked about um things that we could look at for next year including the outdoor spaces um that we had started having conversations about. So bringing people you know John bringing uh kind of having
those conversations at all the schools. so that we can be more equitable in terms of what we end up doing and us being part of that conversation and then we should be receiving updates you know progress updates for the tenth floor over the summer so I will share that
with you follow somebody to that committee to Alex's committee And that was um gave me an update that they had um applicants
and I think part of that just um for our summer retirmed existing ones continue to Shout out to girl. Have you seen it? self. So cool. and not for nothing but
um Lee Beard the artist who's like a very serious well-known journalist in Boston having attended a couple of the community sessions like I've heard him speak before but at the unveiling his um I wish it would have been recorded
because his heartfelt like comments on his experience being part of the checker community over the past couple of months was just really poignant and um it was really nice to hear him as someone who had never spent time in
Milton before you know wasn't familiar with any of our schools like just the way he talked about Mrs. Lily, first of all, our our teacher, amazing job that she did, and just the students and sort of how thoughtful and creative they were, and he worked really hard to
incorporate their ideas. And anyway, I know he would have all been proud to hear how he spoke about it was very complimentary. Um, and yeah, it's an awesome like
thing to have. Mark. Yeah, I have some updates, but I was uh late to the school building, so it was Yeah, you never start with that. Yeah, go for it. Um, it
was a pretty brief processoriented kind of meeting. Um, Sean kind of walked us through a little in the MSBA module one, which is at the beginning, but we're still I don't know if the select
board has appointed their representative to the school building committee, but that needed to happen in order for us to progress along. Um so we went through that.
Uh we approved a survey of land that needs to happen as part of the land swap. So just approve some capital allocation to that. Uh went over the project timeline. I mean I think and I might um I might fudge some of these
details because it was my first meeting so I was like taking a lot in. Yeah. But the timeline is very tight. um to move through the MSBA modules, work with an architect and not run out of time
before the land swap basically gets reverted. Um so that was like a big takeaway from the project timeline discussion. Um and that was essentially the the crux of the of the
yeah just in module one school you know cycle did that um so they've done that we're going to do sick to finish off that stuff we
checked the ICC month ago whatever educational profile next. So the death of vertisual So, so it does bring us to the motion which
is essentially we need to approve um we need to appoint three voting members and staff John Katie and John to the building committee positions that were graded with the vote that meeting took
these 30 meetings. based on the MCPO member superintendent then principal the seems like NSBA requires the principal to be school that was cited Bill Fish
previously been pretty involved in like some of the planning stuff upper middle school but MSBA project in their eyes it's for now that's why at some that have changes then obviously
committee somebody else obviously it doesn't prevent any other member of the school staff from being involved in questions then I will make a motion to approve the appointment of superintendent John Balen assistant superintendent Blake and vice
president Dr. shall read to the school building committee as all in favor next we just have the minutes of the June 4th All right. I'll make a motion to approve the
minutes of the June 4th, 2025 home school committee meeting. I'll make a motion to adjourn the meeting. Second favor. Thanks, Marine. [Music]
