--------- You're right now. You ready? >> Yep. >> Okay. All right. I'd like to call the meeting to order. I rock for November 7th, 2025. Start out with uh
introductions. Uh Sherry >> Sherry Brown. Paul Dumar is retired. >> George Elmore retired also but still uh >> who am I here for? Economic >> economic council.
>> Yeah, representing the economic council. >> Heather Frederick, I'm chief financial officer. >> William Drain, manager of budget operations. >> Leanne Evans, treasurer. >> Kristen Bar Garcia, office at the general counsel. And then online we have
uh Mr. Michael Dixon and Miss Deborah um Murphy. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Good morning. Good. >> Good morning. Thank you for joining. >> Good morning. Uh public comment. I don't see none. All right.
You're up. >> Well, first we have the the minutes from November 8th of 2024, >> which was our last official meeting that we had a quorum >> year year ago. a year ago. >> Do we have a motion to approve? >> Move to approve.
>> Second and second. >> Second. >> All in favor signify. I >> I >> I >> I >> Okay. All right. >> Now we go. >> Now we go. So, so this meeting we have three the last three quarterly reports
for FY25 >> and we have the first quarterly report for FY26. So since we have a full year of Oh, and we also have Mr. Franklin just joined as well online. So just wanted to recognize
Mr. Franklin. >> Yep. >> Morning. >> Good morning. >> Good morning, Patrick. >> Morning. >> There he be. >> So since we have >> fights about reassurance for you. Okay.
>> All right. >> Okay. So we have the the quarterly report for December 31st, 2024, the quarterly report through March 31st of 2025, and then the final quarterly report which is for the whole year of June 30th, 2025. So I was going to walk
through the report for FY25 uh the final of report since that will reflect to and show how all the funds were spent for the year. And then we'll have to the committee will have to go back and vote on each individual
quarterly report. The total amount of property taxes projected to be collected was $342 million. And we had a total of 30 almost $32 million of carry forward funds. 9.6 million or almost 10 million of that was
related to charter schools and 22 million of that was related to district operated schools. And that carry forward was because of the significant increase in property values that we had two years in a row. Um so the funds we are we now have that the funds are fully um
recurring funds are fully expended each year but we wanted to make sure to use those carry forward funds on one-time non-recurring expenses. And so we have been, you'll be able to see in the FY26 report as well um and the end of this report that we have been uh spent down a
significant portion of that that 22 million on one-time costs. Over 50% um of the the funding of this referendum goes to teacher supplements. um including, you know, for teachers um uh with less than five years of experience,
$1,000 supplement from 5 to 10, $5,000 and over 10 years uh receive a $10,000 supplement. In addition to that, uh with the increase in property values, we were also able to add some additional uh pay increases to teachers uh where we were
able to give a 7% increase recurring in increase in the previous years when the property values were higher. we are not able to do that in this this current year. >> Um so over almost $200 million $177
million of the the funding uh went to those teacher supplements. Um a quarter of the funds goes to fine art teachers. So the elementary art music and PE teachers choice and career academy uh teachers. Uh we also have some
additional costs related to music initiatives um and and additional supplies that we provide for them to the teachers to administer those programs, the art and music programs. So that's a total of $85 million was spent um within
the fine arts. A quarter and of of the funding is spent on mental health. Um so there's a a behavioral health professional at every single school within the district. And we also increased the number of uh school psychologists at the school sites as
well. Uh we ensured that every middle school had uh three guidance counselors. Uh and we also have a crisis response team. Uh so the total mental health costs for FY25 totaled $22 million.
Uh the remaining quarter of the funding is for additional security. So the general fund pays for the one required officer per school and we use the referendum dollars to supplement that. So for any additional officer that we have at a school site that is charged to
the referendum and then also additional supplemental salary allocations uh to the schools. Uh so they have to have additional um presence at their after school games, after school activities. Um, so all of those additional um security costs that they need for
wanding and temporary security. Um, if they need to use charter buses uh to transport students to to games because we want to do it at a earlier time for security reasons, all of those costs get charged um to the referendum. And then
also the the um the continuing costs of the universal student IDs. So we're able to track all the students um not only when they're in school but also in um uh the athletic games and whatnot. Uh so the total that we spend on recurring
costs recurring is 18.9 million. Um uh Mr. Franklin, you have a question. >> Yes. When when you mentioned you had three guidance counselors for a middle school, how many do we have in a high school? at a high school. Uh it depends
on the enrollment and so it it could potentially be up to that amount. It depends on the actual enrollment at the school site. >> So and then is is the ratio per guidance counselor per student in high school is it is it higher or or are we trying to
lower that down? >> It is. We we made a strategic uh effort to reduce the uh allocation or or reduce the ratio in middle school um since that is the the priority um that we identified and where the students were
most in need um in having that additional support. So that was a strategic um uh initiative that we had within our district and and so based on the the number that the middle schools earn they could potentially earn up to
three um counselors but if they don't based on enrollment because enrollment drops we felt it was important that they maintain that the ratio of three at that middle school level. >> Good. Thank you. >> Okay. And then I mentioned that we had that $22 million of uh one-time
carryover funds. Um so we wanted to make sure to use that for one-time initiatives. So we spent a total spent down that 22 million by $13 million uh this year. And we spent it primarily on replacing the radios at the school
sites. Um so for all the teachers um and the principles u they have all new uh radios. So the there's additional costs going through FY26 because that was a pretty extensive project for them to implement to replace all the radios.
Uh we anticipate the total cost of the project is going to be close to $14 million. Uh so through FY25 it was a total of 9.3. Uh and then we spent an additional $3 million uh on additional school police vehicles. Um, so now every
single police officer uh has a vehicle and we passed through a total of $39 million to charter schools. Uh we do uh for district operated schools have a remaining carryover of um $8.6 million.
And on the charter schools, charter schools spent a total of $40 million and have um $8 million uh remaining in carryover. Um, so they spent down a portion, a smaller portion of their carryover funds.
>> So any additional questions on the FY25 expenditures? >> Are the charters still growing or are they dormant? >> The charters, they have been in declining enrollment the last three years. Um this year their enrollment
dropped um almost 400 students uh which was it represents approximately 1.5% u of their total student population. Our district schools dropped more this year. This is the first year we've had decline in enrollment um in uh Palm Beach County
since the pandemic. So, it was really we did anticipate an a slight decline of about 400 students, but our decline in enrollment ended up um being 6,000 students this year. >> So, it represented 3.5% of our total
population. >> You you said that was mainly immigration >> and it was >> not for not for the $8,000 >> right deal. >> Right. So, the as we're digging into that, it's primarily related to immigration. So, we were seeing growth,
pretty significant growth in our English language learner population each year, averaging about 4,000 each year. And this year, it actually declined, the English language learner population declined by 1,800 students. And so, we
see that we are going down into detail u so that we can make sure to target um and plan for next year. uh because it was not only in Palm Beach County. This was an issue statewide and not only statewide, nationally. Um so Broward was
down more than expected. Miami Dade was down more more than double um the amount that they had projected as well as Orange and Hillsboro. Um so districts across the um the state uh we work we're we're anticipating that enrollment to be
down statewide. We won't DOE most likely will not release that information until January because they've been pretty delayed in releasing the the FTE um information. So everything that is that um you know information I'm providing is
based on meetings that I've attended and just reaching out to my my counterparts across the state. >> All right. So, if the committee would like to go back and then uh vote on each of the uh quarterly reports.
>> Any other questions? [Music] >> No questions. >> I'll make a motion to approve the December 31st, 2024 report. >> And I'll second. All
>> in favor signify. I >> I >> I >> I >> I >> I'll make a motion to approve the March 31st, 2025 report. >> Second that, too. >> All in favor signify. I
>> I >> I >> I'll make a motion to approve the June 30th, 2025 report. >> Second that. >> All in favor signify. I >> I
Okay. >> Do you want to Did you want to go over it at all or can I make a motion? >> Oh, you can. Yeah. I'll make a motion to approve September 30th, 2025 report. >> Second. >> All in favor signify. I >> I
>> I >> Okay. And and the only thing that I would like to mention on the FY26 is you can see that the prop the increases in property values have come back down to a more reasonable level. So we're not seeing 15 and and 20% increase in
increases in property values. the increase in the school taxable values increased 5% this year and we anticipate that the increases will will go back to more normal levels which have always been around the you know the the the 3 to 5% range and I know the county um
increased a little higher the the county taxable values increased a little higher than the school taxable values this year but we are anticipating them to to hopefully continue to have increases we're just not going to have those significant spikes that we had Yeah,
that we had those last those last few years. And other than that, the expenses um there's no changes in how the funds were spent. So, we do anticipate that we it will be fully spent this year.
And then we're continuing to spend down uh that remaining amount with the remaining 18 $8.6 million in one-time funds on nonrecurring initiatives. more questions. >> Okay,
>> that's the rock report, >> right? So this is this is the the uh normally we the as part of the uh the policy the board policy for the independent referendum oversight committee uh requires an annual report
to the board. Um since it has been a a year since the board last reported uh the committee last reported to the board. I have prepared a a draft report for the December 17th meeting. Um so if there is a committee member who's able
to present at that board meeting um otherwise um we can always just attach the report but that would be the you know the preference of the the committee >> any volunteers >> check your calendar. All right. And it's
just going over, you know, what was presented at this meeting that the committee has reviewed and approved the FY25 expenditures uh to ensure that those expenditures aligned with the the ballot language uh that was approved by the voters and then also approved the
first quarterly report for FY26. And FY26 is the third of four years of this referendum. So, we're going to have to go back out to the voters in November of 26 uh because this funding ends in 2027. That's our last year. Um it
represents this refer referendum represents over 10% of our operating budget and you saw funds over uh 900 teachers, those elementary art, music, and PE teachers, and provides almost $200 million of additional supplements
to teachers. Uh so it is some and additional mental health as well as additional security um at the school sites. Um it would be devastating to the district if this funding were not to be renewed.
The board did approve uh uh putting this language uh putting the the uh putting this forth uh to the uh voters in November of uh 2026 and it's now been moved over to the county. So, the county
then has to approve uh putting it on the ballot as well, and we expect them to do that in one of their November meetings. It is a ministerial approval. The county is not able to tell the district we're not allowed to put the language on the ballot. Um, but it is a process that we
have to do um to just present it through the county. >> I think it's going November 18th. I think I saw it on the agenda, our review early and things. And I'm available on December 17th if you'd like me to come to your meeting. >> Okay, that would be great. Great. >> Is it volunteering?
>> I'm volunteering. Yeah. >> So, yeah. Thank you. >> So, it start It does start at 5:00. Okay. That's what I thought. >> Yeah. You never know when you're going to come up. >> I've been there. Okay.
>> That's the uh one mill. >> That's the one mill. That's the one mill. So, for we have to go back. >> Half a mill, didn't it? It used to be >> well it was it was a half a mill back in 2010 and 11 >> and then that was when the board was allowed to um at their discretion um
levy that a different uh that additional millage and then it's been approved by the voters um it was actually a quarter mill was a half a mill sorry and then we increase it to a full mill um in 2018 and when we did that that was when we
added the additional um supplements for the teachers Because you when you look at the funding u education funding across the country, Florida ranks 46th in terms of funding um and as well as um in teacher pay and the governor has made um significant
strides in increasing that beginning teacher pay. But we haven't received the additional funding in order to address the compression because when you increase the the lowest paid, you had teachers, beginning teachers making nearly the same amount as teachers that
had been here 5 to seven years. So this additional supplement of the thousand, 5,000 and 10,000 based on years of experience helped to alleviate some of that compression and that was really the the purpose for that. And so they are dependent. You know, you
imagine being dependent on receiving additional $10,000 a year. You know, this is is funding that that really we need to continue. And also that it it's difficult. It's expensive to live in Palm Beach County and it continues to be difficult for us to to hire as well for
for people just for cost of living. >> Okay. And school board votes on this first. >> The school board voted for this on October 8th. >> Oh, they've already done it already. They've already done it and so now it moves over to the county. >> When does it go to the county?
>> The county on November 18th. And Miss Brown confirmed it was going to go to the county on November 18th >> and then it goes to the voters in November of 2026. >> Okay. Who uh
who addresses it to the county? Who who lays the groundwork? Well, >> I think it's just through the county attorney's office and the school district attorneys because it's >> just something that gets kind of rubber stamped. It's not >> concerned about the seven.
>> Oh, no. I think that um we considered a consent item because I don't think we can really comment on it. It's just pretty ministerial from the county's perspective. >> And Mr. Burke has been engaged. Um he has spoken to Mr. Bruo um and has been
made, you know, available to any of the commission uh county commissioners. Um and so so he has been um discussing um you know, any questions that anybody has. >> Well, I just want to be sure there's you don't get blindsided.
>> We we agree. >> Yeah, >> we do agree. Yeah. And and there was >> you got a different chairman now. >> And uh we appreciate that. And and like I said, Mr. Burke has >> somebody needs to do some >> and he has been like I said he's been
very engaged in meeting with Mr. Bruo as well as with >> I'm going to talk about it >> and the diff and and also the commissioners as well >> the commissioner as I'm talking about >> yes yes and he's and Mr. Burke has met with them as well is meeting with them as as well.
>> Do you know what took place a couple of months ago? >> I don't know whether I'm supposed to talk or not, but I was there. >> I don't have any problem. You know, they wanted to eliminate nonprofits funding any nonprofit.
>> No. Yes, we do know that discussion. And there there is also an uppaining there's an upcoming meeting in December and it's a group it's going to be a group meeting with the school district uh the health care district as well as children's services council um and also the the
county and so it's going to be a joint presentation that's going to be is it the december 5th or the December 9th meeting >> I don't remember >> but it's coming up in December um so that we can so each of the agencies can work together and present to understand
the the the background as to why the county I think part of it is why the county is funding some of the things that they're funding and what the responsibilities are of each of the other uh governmental agencies. So yes, so we're fully aware of that and we're engaged um and and we're working jointly
um to provide that information because I think there's a lot of new commissioners and it's really just more for information. There's only two new >> Yeah. But forformational purposes, they, you know, wanted some some background and understanding as to um, you know, >> make sure there's no overlap of
services, you know, that we, you know, that I think is a big part of it, too. So, >> and so that so we're working all closely together to uh to be able to provide a um a presentation in in December. So, we're we're looking forward to sharing, you know, all the great work that we're doing in the school district and I know
the other organizations are well are as well. Okay. >> Uh, Mr. Franklin, you have a question? >> Yeah. Has the school district heard back from um the state doge committee on their findings, if any findings at all?
>> There the do the school district has not u received any notification from Doge. So, we're not under um any um audit or review. I believe that was the county is going through that process. >> It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of data, but no, we have not heard back from
them. So, we expected a re report last month and we haven't seen anything yet. So, >> I I think we're all fortunate as a governmental agency. We we go through a lot of audits every year and so it's, you know, it's it's just another one
that we have to go through, make sure we provide all all the documentation, but it's something we're used to to going through. it you it is more business business as usual, you know, just >> Yeah. But to have but to have somebody um that that's not familiar with your
processes to to go to go ahead and try to say you you're you're spending the money in the wrong capacity is not our usual business. >> No, I I understand. But we go through audits every year and it's it's it's our job to show them that we are spending
all the funding appropriately and to ensure that and and that is the purpose and why we have these advisory committees. We always want to be very transparent with the community. Um the the next meeting is is the ISO you know so for any additional referendum funds
we always want to show promises made, promises kept. How we said we were going to spend the money is how we spent the money. Uh and and that's something that that we've that has always been uh very important to our district is is transparency. >> Okay.
>> All right. >> Next business is >> Well, I think we have to vote on the report to the board. >> Oh, >> yeah. I'll make a motion to approve the report to the board. >> Okay. >> Second that motion. >> All in favor signify. I
>> I >> Okay. >> Okay. So now >> so now it's the selection of the the chair and vice chair. Uh so board policy 1.09 requires the committees to select a chair and vice chair at the first meeting after the start of the school
year. So this happens to be the first meeting after the start of the school year. So we're going to start with the selection of the chair. An advisory committee member selected by the committee um is limited to a four-year term. Um the current chair is Mr.
Elmore. And so Mr. Elmore has served two two terms, so he's still eligible to serve um an additional two years if he would like. Uh but I will open up for nominations for the chair. >> I'll make a motion to nominate George
Elmore for the chair. You got two more years, so you got second that >> you're living up. >> I've done my four. So >> I just rotate the two of you. Yeah. >> What you've been doing. >> I know.
Okay. >> All right. Are there any are there any other nominations? >> Okay. >> All right. Hearing none. All in favor of electing Mr. Elmore as chair, please say I. >> I. >> Okay.
>> All right. So now now I can give it back over to you for the selection of the vice chair. >> Okay. Do we have an nomination for the >> I'll nominate >> vice chair. >> I'll nominate Paul Dumars for vice chair. All right. Okay. >> And a second. >> I'll second.
>> Okay. Good. Second. All in favor of electing Paul as our vice chair. >> I >> I >> I >> Okay. >> All right. >> All right. You guys should stay around now. >> All right. Congratulations. >> And you two, I think, have been on since the beginning and have have alternated
between chair and vice chair since the beginning. Since 2020, I want to say. >> Is that Yes. here. >> All right. >> Yeah, we here. Okay. Last year now. >> All right. So, now it's just down to our future meeting. So, our next meeting is February 20th.
>> Okay. >> At 9:00 a.m. And then I do believe that that August meeting, Miss Evans and I are going to look at because it does get very tight with the close out of year end. So, we might make a change to that meeting. >> Uh, but our next two meetings are
February 20th and May 15th. And and with that and with that we can adjourn. >> All right. >> All right. Thank you everybody. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Part: 2
Good morning everyone. I think we are ready to go. We actually have a quorum in place. Um that's doing something. >> Yeah. Let's see. Can everyone still hear me?

Ready? >> Okay. Is that better? >> Okay. Okay. I just want to check to make sure the folks online can hear me. Yeah, we can. >> Okay, very good. So, we have I'm so glad
you all are here today and we've still got an echo coming through here. Um, >> we we had it on our end, but we don't have the echo anymore. >> Okay. I think it's here between my computer and the boardroom's computer.
>> Okay. Is that better? That took care of it, I think. Yay. Okay. Um, I want to thank everybody for being here today. We have gone a full year. Our last meeting was May was in November of 2024 when we had a quorum. Um there was a meeting in
May, but we didn't have a quorum. We walked through a lot of materials for those of you that were here. Um but we couldn't vote. So we have a lot of items to review today. And I want to start with the introductions to everybody. If
we could start down at the end, please. Radcliffe Brown Technical Advisory Committee. >> Paul Dum Mars. >> You are JL Moore, Economic Council. >> Jerry Brown, budget advisory committee. >> I'm Leanne Evans, District Treasurer.

we don't have members. Um, any public comments? I should ask. Are there any public comments? >> No. And Mr. Porter, do you want to me to hand the meeting over to you? It's always fun to do when somebody's virtual and somebody's in person. How would you like to handle that?
>> I think it's probably better for you to handle it because if somebody in the room raises their hand, I won't be able to see that. >> Okay. Um, feel free any of you to chime in if there's any questions as always. >> Okay. So, we do have a lot to review today. We're going to start off with the
minutes from last November. >> A motion to approve the November 8th, 2024 minute. >> Thank you. Can I get a second? >> All in favor? Any opposed? >> I >> Okay, thank you very much. So, that's
one item down. >> Um, so I'm going to go right to the presentation on the I do want to point out on the agenda and I've got that on the screen. We have the minutes. Um, I've attached in board docs the sales
tax summary for December of 2024, March of 2025, and September of 2025. Um for the sales tax we should have a June report. I combined the June and September. Um it's really tricky for us as projects are rolling from one year to
the other. Um I merged them together. So the report I'm going to focus on today is going to be the September report that will show all the changes from March until present. Um but in the presentation we will go through the plan modifications. There were no plan
modifications in December. There were four in for March. and I'll go through it built into the presentation. So, we'll use that to do the PPMs and then there are a lot for September and we'll be going through all those as part of the presentation.
>> Did I see a hand raised, Mr. Porter? >> Yeah. Um, do we need to vote on all the ones that go back almost a year ago or are there only current ones that we need to vote on because the other ones were just by default accepted? >> Well, technically we do need to vote to
make sure they're accepted. So, what I thought I'd do is go through the beginning of the presentation, which summarizes the reports, and get a vote to accept all three reports at that point. And then we'll go into the PPMs, and we'll we can go through them in
groups. And if we need to break it down more than I'm thinking we need to, we can you all can chime in. If we want to do a bunch of them at once or just one at a time, I'm thinking we'll want to do them in groups. Um, >> but I'll I'll I'll I'll we'll go as we'll see how that goes. If it gets to
where it's too much, um, you can let us know. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, the presentation. So, we're going to start off with the overall review of the sales tax revenues. So through September 2025,
which means it was earned through July 2025, we've received almost 1.5 billion as opposed to 1.1 billion we thought we would have at this time. So we're at 131% of the projections. Um the total receipts, we've collected 110% of the
projected receipts for the sales tax in 87% of the time. And this tells this sales tax will end in December. The last revenues will come in in February. So, this will end during this year. It's ending a year early based on that sunset
provision. And the county um did repeal the sales tax ordinance, sent that on to Department of Revenue. It will end. Um the new sales tax that was approved by the voters last November will start in January and the first monies will come in in March. There's always a couple of
months lag there. >> Mr. quarter. >> Just for clarification for the committee members, our job does not end when the money ends because it won't get spent for at least another year after that. >> That's absolutely correct. That's correct. >> It's actually going to be more than a
year or so because we have some construction projects that haven't started yet and we'll be talking about those as one of the plan modifications. Okay. before the expenses and interest earnings um through September. Um sales tax expenses are $918 million. Um open
purchase orders 117 million. Interest earnings um bumped up to $82 million. We had $30 million of interest earnings in FY25 alone. And I would love to take credit for that personally um as the treasurer, but interest rates went up and that's what happens as interest
rates rise. We take advantage of that. So um the interest earnings has has increased the fees um you're aware of that this is the line of credit that we had the final payment was made on that in July of 2023.
So this is the summary of the September project budget report. Um, this is the the summary that you all helped me to create. And what I want to point out is the changes since the last meeting. And there is 147 million dollars of
changes that we're going to be going over today. So, I want to allay some worries about that right up front. Um, of those, this first one, 32 million that is facility renewals. There are 24
changes. TW 18 of those we reviewed at the May meeting, but we didn't have a vote. So, we're bringing those back. There's only six that are new. So, while it seems like a big number, um they should be familiar to you and we'll still go through them all. And then the
second group, this 79 million is related to three project increases um for the transportation centers, and we'll talk about those. And there's a close out for a project. And then this last number down here is for two
projects that have been delayed. Actually, there's three, but two schools that have been pushed back. Um, they're funded with cops, but because they were delayed, and we'll talk about that when we get to the individual PPMs. So, I just wanted to give a summary of of what you're going to be seeing because there
is a lot um that we that we do have to review today. So, one of the things you've asked me to talk about is cost escalation update. And back in June of 2022, we went to the school board with a plan on how we would be sure we could finish all the projects
on the list. And that plan came to the committee in September of 2022. And we set aside $190 million to deal with cost escalation on the facility renewal projects. So far, we've tapped into 24.7 million of that. So, there's still quite
a bit of money there. Um, however, the construction projects have increased 80 million more than we expected and that's coming out of that same $190 million. Um, however, when looking at just the sales tax funded projects, set aside the ones that are set borrow that we're
going to borrow for, but of those, um, 63% of those have been awarded and that replic represents 71% of the sales tax budget. That means they're locked in. We've already awarded the contracts, purchase orders are issued, they're moving forward. So there's about 29%
that we still have to award and those are the smaller projects. We did the larger projects, the schools that needed the most work done first. And so now we're down to projects that are most of them are 2 million and under. There's a few that are bigger, but most of these
are much smaller projects. Um we are very confident that we can complete and fund all the remaining projects to be done on the referendum project list. Yeah, if there's if there's extra money, and we've talked about this before, but
if there's extra money, it would be used to pay debt service payments on projects that were on the referendum list. So, if you remember, there were four large facility renewals that totaled about 79 million that we borrowed for to help free up this 190 million. Um, we've been making principal and interest payments
on those. Those are being advertised over seven years, but whatever's left, we would pay with sales tax. And then we also borrowed for um Addison, Meisner, Varity, Plamosa, um Blue Lake, Washington, Garcia, Pinerove. There's a
long list of projects that we borrowed for. So if there's leftover money, we would try to make those debt service payments for those projects on the referendum list. And I've added back in a chart. I got some great data from construction, so I'm able to give you an update on where
they are. And this is where I'm getting that 29% and the 71%. It's breaking down the status of all the projects. And you can see that 52% of the projects are in closeout. That means the work is done. We're in the process of closing those projects. And going forward, you should
see a lot more closeouts coming to you as we finalize everything. Um the construction team is doing a really good job at digging into every project and checking the box to make sure every single item was done. If you remember, there was a period of time we were saying we were going to only focus on
the items related to keeping the schools cool, safe, dry, and bright, and we set some things aside to come back. We're doing those. So, we're going through and checking off every school to make sure everything's been done. So, you will see a lot of those coming going forward.
There's 19% of the projects, and this is again just the ones funded with sales tax. 19% of the budget is is in construction. It's these numbers here. Um 9 and 29% is either in planning or design. Um
so this is just an overall p snapshot of where the projects are in their life cycle. Any questions on that? So this is the point where I think we can go ahead and approve the old sales tax summaries.
um we could approve the ones for December and March and then we can do September at the very end as we go through all the plan modifications if that's okay with the committee. >> Okay with me. >> I'll make a motion to approve December
31st, 2024 and March 31st, 2025 reports. >> Can I get a second? >> Second. >> Okay. All in favor? >> I. >> Anyone opposed? first. >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you very much.
>> So, I'm gonna start these off >> and then I'll be handing it over to Dave to get into them. But the first ones, um, these are the four from May of 2025. All of them are project closeouts. So, these are money coming back. The Addison
Meisner project was done. Um, it was borrowed. So, the remaining funds will be used for debt service payments. Washington Elementary um closed with 500,000 left in it. Those funds will also be used for debt service payments. DD Eisenhower, the demo and restoration
of playfields. Um this was funded with other local funds, not sales tax and not cops. So it those that $590,000 remaining goes back into capital contingency to be used for roofs and windows and doors and other things that
we need to do. And finally, the Rivier Prep, River Rivier Beach Prep remodeling project. This was um set up, it was actually a project for Gold Coast Community School. The board decided to close that school and move all the students into Rivier Beach Prep. And on
that land, they built the Chuck Shaw Adult Ed Center. Um the money was transferred to River Beach Prep. Some of that's been used, but most of it has not been because we're modernizing that school. We're going to renovate, tear down, build. There's a big project
coming for that project. So, we pulled the 986,000 out of the project back into capital contingency. I believe the current estimate for River Beach Prep is about $80 million. >> For that for that one that's coming that's um actually not on the referendum
list, I don't think. Oh, it is. I added it on. So, you'll be seeing that one. >> Yes. >> 80 million. And Mr. Porter, you have a question. >> Yeah, just uh some kudos to the facilities department because these all could have gone the opposite way where
these would have been numbers you were asking for more money. So, however, they've been working with the CMS to budget the GMPS correctly and to put enough extra money in there that we don't have to go after more. That's uh
commendable. >> Okay. Are there any other questions on these? Since Since these are from May, I'd like to go ahead and get a vote on the May plan modifications. >> I'll move to approve the May plan modifications. >> Is there a second?
>> Second for Mr. Elmore. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> Any opposed? Okay. Thank you very much. So, now we get into the September and this is where we do have a lot of them. And I'm going to take the first two and then hand them over to Mr. Dolan. The
first one is sales tax interest. As I mentioned, um we earned over $30 million of interest during FY25. So I've recorded that. We've we did the increase. Um and that is set in the sales tax interest account. And the second is the sales tax reserve. We
earned 16 million more in we received 16 million more in sales tax revenues than we had expected for this year. So we updated the budget to reflect the additional earnings that happened in FY25. So that was an additional 16 million.
And with that, I'm going to turn it over to Mr. Dolan. Now I I we have let me just see. We have from page eight through page 14 of renew of approve of items to be approved. I don't know if you want to approve them one page at a time or just
go through them all. And we can also do these are what I call capital plan changes. There's two pages of those and then we get into the facility renewals. So we could do the first two pages and just have a a stopping point. >> Just go through all of them and we can approve at the end.
>> Yeah, I would agree with that and I would say any member that has an issue as we go through any of them raise it as we go through it. >> Okay. >> Okay. Uh the first three 254, 255, and 256 are all the transportation projects.
As um as you may recall on the original referendum, they were for I'll just say they were for established as really low dollar values for constructing uh or reconstructing these facilities. Transportation North and Transportation South are existing ones and
Transportation Belvadier is a brand new site facility obviously on Belvadier Road. Uh and uh what came to be is when we started developing what the facilities will look like and what they needed to be uh how they needed to be
enhanced. Uh the $10 million I think and one one was 12.5 million. The $10 million wasn't nearly enough to be able to support the the actual needs of the facility. So each of those three are uh increases for I think it was a combined
$79 million between the three um in order to make the the uh programs for those facilities uh viable. >> Mr. Porter. >> Mr. Porter. >> Yeah, we have two PPM 254s. >> Oh,
>> my apologies. That's not the way the backup reads. That's an error in the presentation. >> Okay. >> So sorry. I bet it corrects as we move along somewhere else. I bet it corrects um as we go. >> Okay. And um and uh 257 uh Village
Academy is also it's a very small project uh but it was on the referendum list and we have uh we're in the construction on it now. We're in the demo phase of it right now and that's uh this is a an increase on that scope of work.
Okay. Uh, I'm going to leave the next three. Do you want to touch on those three? These are the uh scripts. >> These three um these we have two projects in site acquisition. I'll take them out of order. Yeah. Site acquisition. We had 11.1 million
earmarked and we continue to push that out and push that out. Um the place where we need the area where we need to buy the land, we don't know if we need to buy the land or not. Um, all these these three are really dealing with changes in enrollment and our enrollment
projections and we were buying land for a for a a school to be built and we're not sure if we need it at this point. So, we're postponing buying the land. Um, the Scripps Area Elementary School 04A and then the Western Communities
Area High School 16A. And I'm not sure why you can't see the lines, the the dashes. Um it looks much better in PowerPoint but um it's a conversion something to conversion with PDF. Um those two schools we just don't need them now. We don't need them for a
number of years. So we push them out. The scripts area elementary school we've actually been pushing it out and when I went through this and when we prepare these reports it's um a very comprehensive I'm looking at everything each time we do it and try to make sure
we catch everything. I had not brought back the change of years that I should have been bringing back as we moved it back every year. Um the change in the budget is just what this year but we have effectively moved the scripts area
school out six years um to 2032 for funding and 16A has been moved out four years to 2030. Um the budget increase is just to deal with the expected cost escalation and what we think the cost of the schools
will be four and six years from now. Um it's just we we look at these two projects specifically in site acquisition and we just don't need them now. Um we keep pushing them out until we see that we need them. And you've seen a lot of things in the news about
changing demographics and our enrollments were down this year for the first time in a very long time. Um, we don't want to go build a school that we don't need. So, we're pushing them out. So, I think pushing them out shouldn't isn't going to be a surprise to anybody. The increase these projects would be
funded with cops, um, not sales tax, but they are on the project list. So, we continue to bring those back to you. >> Did I hear Did I Mr. Rhodess, go ahead. >> Yes. Did I hear you say uh west of one
potential in the west area? >> It's the western communities area. It's out near um it's the northwest portion of the county. Um >> it's the acreage area. >> The acreage area
acreage. Yeah. Not not neglates. >> Okay. Just just make sure. Okay. >> Yep. Thank you. >> You're welcome. Um, so that that is really the end of the capital plan changes. The other one I wanted to mention is another closeout. There's a
West campus modification that was fully funded with sales tax. It was completed under budget. Um, so we're returning 989,000 back to sales tax reserves. >> And I just want to um credit Mr. Rhodess on that one because um we got a lot of great stuff done on that school. Um, so
we're we're happy that we're closing this project out, but uh we we can very well say that there's a lot more work to go on West Tech. So that will continue on, just not necessarily as part of this expenditure. >> Thank you,
>> Mr. RH. Did you have any other questions? I see your hand still up. >> I just don't know how to work this thing, ma'am. I'm sorry about that. >> That's okay. That's okay. >> Senior citizen. Okay. >> Okay. Um, so now we pop into all the
facility renewals. Um, I want to note there's some every once in a while you're going to see text that's in italics. Um, that's just to let you know this was previously projected at the May 2025 meeting and you'll see that on a lot of them. There only six that were
not included in that last meeting. >> Um, it was an FYI, not a formal vote. Um, but it was letting you know what's coming. So Dave, do you want to take a shot at these? >> Uh, sure. Uh, goodness. Uh, yes, certainly. Um, and again, please forgive
me. My boss is sitting in the room, so and he will attest that I talk way too much as it is. So, if if it turns out that just reading these slides, you kind of think about, oh, let's just go through them. Um, there's not a lot of detail that um is offered other than
what's written on the slides. So, for example, on the Acreage Pines facility renewal, it's one of our earlier ones. Um, we're increasing that budget uh to cover interior finishes and exterior BMP, and forgive me if we use uh um phrases that don't make a lot of sense.
BMP is uh building envelope uh kind of windows, doors, painting, exterior, leak uh protection, that kind of stuff. Um and as you'll see, it's uh sales tax reserves. um ancillary facility uh at at the
central area that's uh at um >> John >> John I Leonard um adjacent to it an increase of 286,000 for interior lighting ADA compliance we have electrical scope uh increases that were needed roofing work and other a series
of other def uh deferred scope items and again as me mentioned it was uh on the May uh meeting um the The ne the next two are are very small ancillary facilities, the Florida Mango facility and the um um the TEC. Um
a $1.4 million uh increase in ADA compliance parking lot uh flooring, plumbing, and other deferred scopes. That Florida Mango facility was un grossly under budgeted in the referendum, hence the uh
considerable increase. The TEC for 800,000 is uh over uh shortfalls and overhead doors storefront exterior lighting uh BEMP building envelope and many other items as well
also brought forth in uh in May our facility renewal for Bokeh High um that is a considerable um increase $4.3 million um and we basically are
allaying a lot of those costs towards plumbing and electrical scopes which are dramatic. Um a lot of ADA compliance issues. Again, we always remind I want to remind everybody the facility renewals are projects that um bring the schools up to today's standards. Um the
um thankfully the sales tax referendum was the intent to bring the schools back up to a good standard so that they will have a long life uh cycle and a lot of the work that uh was needed at Bokeh. Um I think I want to say this is a 17 oh I can't remember exactly how much the cost
of the work is but that $4.3 million um increase um is a is a reasonable it's not an over um over expectation. It's actually that amount is within the amount that we had projected for that school. >> It's right in line with what we thought was coming. >> That's the words I was trying to say. I
couldn't figure out the way to say it. >> And just just to save you some some breath going forward, all the rest of the projects that are listed here were all funded with the sales tax reserves. >> Okay. >> And they're all very similar. You're going to see the same type of thing over and over again on these projects.
>> Okay. Yes. Boon Beach um high school facility renewal. Uh the school is newer, so it's a little later in the u um uh listing. Uh so our increased budget of only $900,000 for interior finishes, um it's it's still a
substantial amount of money. I recognize that. But in the grand scheme of things, when we were working on high schools, some of the earlier high schools, I say earlier, the older high schools that needed more work were considerable, you know, 1720 million construction projects. Uh the the Boon Beach Middle
uh high school is a is a far less newer school, so less work needed. Cholley Lake facility renewal one just over a million dollars uh for water intrusion, HVAC, FFN, play courts, parking lot, and
others. Um those when I when we say and others, those other ones might be uh $10,000 for some line item or 15,000 not necessarily worth mentioning. the the big the bulk of the items. We try to make sure that we touch on the bulk of these items, the the largest larger uh
items. Uh cross point facility renewal. Um that's a $951 uh,000 increase for um considerable site work improvements, >> FF. >> FFE, not >> um that's okay. uh ADA compliance, uh
fire alarm improvements, uh and uh I've probably told you guys in this in the past on fire alarm, there might have been money in the original referendum for simply swapping out a panel, just $100,000 to swap out the actual panel. The challenge is that a lot of these a
lot of times the fire alarm panels end up being well that means that all of the devices in the building need to be upgraded to comply with that panel. the technology has changed over years and whatnot. Um, so that's uh that's where a lot of times we hit uh we had a snag
needing additional funds. Uh, next one up is Forest Hill facility renewal. Again, Forest Hill High School. It was a uh was one of the earlier high schools. Uh, we we even pulled out a number of projects and uh performed them earlier. We uh couple of the we call them pull
outs. The projects were this uh the stair replacements. Um and uh we did a bleacher replacement project very early on. Um those scopes uh increased our budget and as you'll note here that 4.8
million includes interior finishes, BEMP, HVAC electrical parking lots because this one particular project as we found out looking at last night does include the construction of a parking lot. Normally, most of the facility
renewals do not cover it, but this one in fact does. There's a uh it's called the Parker parking lot. >> There will be a follow-up item coming at the next meeting because we have a separate project for that parking lot that's also on the referendum list. Um so, it was listed in two places. It was
listed as a standalone project. It was also included in the facility renewal project. So, the project manager and the team went ahead and did it. I said, "But it's funded over here, too. So, we'll be coming back with a cancelling of a separate project at the next meeting so that we don't have that money doubled up.
>> And that this is where the money is needed. We actually have a GMP for the construction about to begin where we do need that 4.8 to cover the cost of that GMP. Um, so this is the correct place for it. And as you'll notice since May,
in May when we brought it forth, we thought we had about a 4.4 because we didn't quite have the GMP lined up. Now sitting here in November, we do know the exact amount of the GMP. So we know the exact amount of money we needed uh from
uh from the referendum. Next one uh facility renewal for Frontier 857,000 for shortfalls in uh fire line uh parking lot FF& plumbing and other deferred scopes. Now, Frontier, um, you the one that stands out is the fire
line, and you question it. Well, out out in the, uh, in the acreage, uh, where Frontier is, um, the infrastructure wasn't necessarily there in years past, and this is an opportunity to upgrade. It was part of the referendum. Um, it's just the cost to actually bring a fire
line in from the street to serve that. Right now, I think the fire line is coming from an off-site piece like a Okay Go ahead, M. Mr. Porter, please. >> Oh, yeah. You don't have to stop when I put my hand up. You can do it afterwards. But my question on all of
these, these seem like they're real plan modifications or the dollar numbers you're listing are the actual numbers we're approving. Previously, we've approved proposed dollar amounts to allow you to go forward with projects off into the somewhat near future. So,
these are all real numbers for these projects, not proposed estimates. >> Right. That's correct. And thank you for bringing that up. Um, when we went a year without having votes, um, we had to move forward otherwise work would would
have stopped. So, we had a meeting with legal and they reviewed the policy that governs the ISOC committee and it very clearly I spoke with Patricia Morales. She was the attorney that worked on it and we're supposed to bring everything to you for oversight and review
afterwards. We don't have to bring it to you in advance, which was good because otherwise all work would have stopped and we wouldn't have gotten anything done this summer. So, going forward you are going to see actual dollar amounts. It does mean that there's a lot more work being done in our offices in
advance before it comes to the committee. Um we've changed a lot of procedures in the last what four or five months >> um to make sure that and it used to be we would get all ready and then Dave and I and his team would sit down and write
the proposed plan modifications with estimates and bring them to you. Um now we're doing all that work and then going ahead and funding it and bringing it to you after the fact. And it really is staff's responsibility to make sure we're following the referendum project
list and we're staying in line with everything we've told you and we're bringing everything to you afterwards with real numbers. Mr. Porter. >> Yeah. the um and when we had done the proposed cost, we had uh requested to come back with the actual plan
modification when you knew what the number was going to be and also then show us what the proposed amount was so we could see how good of a guess did we do. >> Are any of these we're approving now based on previously accepted proposals? >> Yes, if you see in fact two of the ones
on this page, Forest Hill and Frontier, um Forest Hill was four was previously at 4.4 million. and it came in at 4.8. >> Yep. Okay. >> Um, Frontier was projected at 2.4. It ended up at 857,000. So, if it was previously approved, I've
included those numbers here. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. The next facility renewal, uh, Glade Central for $2.7 million. Um uh that's uh for shortfalls in interior finishes and um parking lot and paving,
interior bleachers, gym replacement, uh gym area replacement and our intercom replacement. Um $2.7 million on the Glade Central High School project um is not is a small again Oh, I'm sorry. Back
to Miss Evans's point. it it falls within the anticipated extra escalation cost that we we would have we would have expected. So, >> and every time one of these come in, >> if Dave brings it to me and the dollar amount is significantly different than
what we had expected it to be, he gets an email back from me and I'm asking what happened and he doesn't always appreciate it when I'm questioning things. But that's part of what we do. We >> well and we know that we're going to sit the reason she and I work so closely on these things because we know we're going to sit before you all and who may well
have those questions and we do want to make sure that that it makes makes sense. That's why the forest till the one we talked about earlier was something that popped up from a conversation between the two of us. So we are trying to you know we are each other's double check cross check on these things. >> Mr. RH you had a question.
No, no, no. Uh, >> okay. >> Just >> Okay. Um, >> next one up is Greenacres facility renewal for $645,000. Uh, shortfalls in FFN um paving and ADA compliance.
Uh and again I I also I forget I forget to mention ADA compliance is um is an obligation that that we made to the board years ago that we would include ADA upgrades to ensure that we don't
have any concerns uh we have an oblig of course you have a a to the federal government you have an obligation for ADA compliance and um we recognized the shortfalls but we didn't have the money in years past and when this referendum
came along, this was the opportunity to ensure that we did not ever miss anything on those on that list. So, um it's an important uh uh feature for us. um Independence Middle School. Um the facility renewal for $439,000
for parking lot uh ADA compliance, play courts, fire alarm panel. Uh and uh pretty darn good estimate. Um you'll notice we brought it in May for 440. The exact number 439 439.
>> So I I'm not playing the lottery on that one. Um Jerry Thomas uh facility renewal uh $786,000 for classroom LED lighting um FFN furniture um exterior lighting and
parking lot and plumbing and interior finishes um as you see 625 uh >> last year uh when it was more of an estimate >> but the new amount the exact amount you had there was brought up at the May
Right. Uh Mr. Porter. >> Yeah. All of these have FF and E as part of the reason. Did furniture have that much of an inflation increase? >> It construction. But I don't know about furniture that went up too. >> Uh the furniture went up dramatically.
The actual costs of furniture has almost doubled from what was initially estimated back in 16 when the referendum was established. Um and uh and we are being judicious on the furniture with uh Miss Miss Evans help. We're trying to
recognize that furniture does have a very short lifpan. And I say short, what five, seven, 10 years. >> Um and we have to make sure that we're um judicious with that spend because it's we're not throwing away um old
furniture when we can. Um one of our one of our uh leaders uh Dr. James Campbell is kind of the the lead working with the schools on the FFN uh kind of keeping them in check because I'm sure everybody would love all brand new furniture every year. So, we we have to be uh cautious
and uh make sure that we we are keeping the equipment uh up to snuff uh for for the entirety of that tenure. >> One of the things the district is doing is building out that replacement schedule for furniture. All the student desks um and chairs have a 10-year life,
a 10-year warranty on them. So, we know every 10 years we'll need to replace those. We found that looking at the referendum list, there were some schools that were considered new and we didn't budget FFN dollars for those schools as part of the referendum. So, we've added
additional funds outside the sales tax to make sure all those schools are getting furniture um the furniture replacement at the 10-year cycle. So, that's a big initiative that Dr. Campbell's working on and we did an incre significant increase with the capital plan to make sure those monies
are there after this sales tax is finished that we continue to ma maintain that schedule. >> Y um next one up is Jupiter High School facility renewal. It's uh about to get started. I think it's just gotten started. Uh some of the shortfalls $2.5 million. Now, Jupiter High School is a
new high school, so the um FCA project isn't as large as some of the um other ones, but there were still considerable escalation concerns uh with regards to HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing um with uh parking lot
improvements and quite a bit of a ADA compliance. >> You came really close on that one, too. >> I was close on that one, too. Right. >> Okay. Um uh Omni Middle School um we had
an increase of 1.4 uh to cover interior shortfalls in interior finishes, BEMP and other scopes. Um you can see the the variation. We went from 600,000 um in in August of last year when we
only had anticipated interior finishes was something we needed at the time. Um and then in May we came forward with the 1.4 for uh needed to cover that. >> This is one of the first projects that we've tackled all those deferred items.
We made sure making sure that everything is on the list. >> Yes. >> So, you'll see deferred coming up more and more in the conversations as we wrap those up. >> Right. As as you had mentioned the um cool, safe, dry, bright. Uh we have quite a number of projects that are
coming back. We've done most of the work four, five, six years ago and now we're coming back to catch up on a a few more uh stragglers to make sure we complete everything on the list. Next one up is Pamosa School of the Arts uh for facility renewal. Um
I think that's um >> it was only 900 >> $900. >> Yes, >> the project is really done. there was a um architect contingency use authorization and they they needed an extra $900 to wrap that one up and I my question to
that was really $900. >> Yeah, >> that's what they needed and I think that one's ready to close out once that >> it is. It is and that's that was one of the challenges of this was paid for with sales tax that additional scope that they needed an additional fee to cover
needed to be paid from that same. So we needed to come and ask get Okay, the next one up is uh Polo Park Middle School facility renewal, $883,000 um for FFN interior finishes and some paving work.
The next one up is Rolling Green facility renewal for $2.2 million. That's a considerable increase. Um interior classroom lighting, um interior finishes and FFN. And there, um on this one, there were quite a number of other deferred scopes, but those were much
smaller in need. Um, next one after that is Roosevelt facility Roosevelt Elementary facility renewal for $993,000. We are doing a lot of work at this school. Um, for those of you who are familiar with uh some of the ongoing,
this is focused with just doing the facility renewal to bring the school up to a the minimum standards that we expect from today covering interior lighting, HVAC, parking lot, flooring, and other items.
>> Yes, sir. >> Where it says this was previously projected during the May meeting. Does that mean that the number you're giving us is the number that we were told in May? >> Yes. If I didn't put a dollar amount difference, it came in exactly that, that same number. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Okay. Next one. Uh, Village Academy K12 facility renewal. Um, this uh uh this is not associated with the other one we brought earlier, which was the kitchen expansion. This is strictly the facility renewal project for $2.1 million uh to
cover HVAC um uh EMS. It's a building management energy management system. Sorry, every once in a while I got to I got to be checked on uh we put it in uh uh thinking everybody will understand ADA
compliance and parking lot uh work. We had previously projected this at 1.5 back in May. Yeah. >> Um, so >> it was an increase of exactly 600,000. It was for the EMS. It was added on. Actually, we actually had notes as to why it went up. >> Correct.
>> Just it was an oversight back in May that we um were able to catch and correct. Uh, this time around, Wat's Edge facility renewal is only well only $700,000 to cover shortfalls in exterior BMP and some of our interior
finishes. Um, as you see, we had 559,000. Um we have a much more finite number now at 700,000 Westgate um and the ancillary facility associated with Westgate Elementary. Uh
we had a we combined the projects, right? This is the one that we had uh combined the two services into one GMP. We need an additional $700,000 to cover fire alarm control panel, uh pavilion demolition,
um an outdated uh item, uh covered walkways, and other scopes. >> And here's the last one. >> Next one is Whispering Pines facility renewal of about $1.2 $2 million uh to cover shortfalls in HVAC,
our sound systems, um more more intercom sound systems, uh uh covered walkways, interior finishes, and our playgrounds. >> That is the last one. >> What was it? >> Okay, Mr. Porter.
>> Yeah, a couple questions. Um all of the ones here that are being called for sales tax reserves that's coming out of the 190 million that we had set aside. >> Yes, it is. >> And when you first started the presentation, all of these extra numbers
are included in what you told us that was going to be spent so far out of the 190. >> Yes. >> Okay. My last question is because it looks like the ppm numbers had an overlap at the first one. Um there was a
duplicate of ppm 254. Does that mean all of these then go one more number? >> I think they all go one more number. It goes up to 286. And I I apologize for that error. That's my fault. >> That's okay. I just wanted us before we approve PPM 274 that we know we're
really not approving 274. We're approving one number after that, >> right? It should be, let's see, the first number is 253. So, it's really 253 through 286.
>> When I get back to my office, I will update this slide deck so it has the right PPM numbers and upload that as a revision to in board docs and send it out to all of you. It will just change that the number so that it's correct. And thank you for catching that. >> I just wanted us to be able to, you
know, not approve these specific numbers because they're out of sync. >> Yep. So it' be 253 through 286. >> Okay. >> Get a motion to approve those. >> I'll make a motion to approve the September PPMs as presented today.
>> Second. >> I'll second the motion. Okay. >> All in favor? I >> I. >> Any opposed? Okay, thank you very much. And I'm going to actually hand the mouse over to Mr.
Dolan as he's going through. I've been driving for him. I'll let him drive as he goes through his pictures and updates. >> Okay, this is the fun stuff. Um, this is the uh the benefit of what we do. Um, the next few slides that I'll I'll go through, they're just a handful of
photos. I'm not going to read them off, but they uh the the bulk they're all facility renewal type scopes at different schools. Um and as I often mentioned in this in this meeting, the a lot of the items we work on are not the
prettiest of items, but they are absolutely imperative. The air handlers at a school or HVAC duct work, um doors working properly for safety and security as well as energy efficiency. Um uh you'll you'll notice the play courts
and uh restroom work. Simple things like water fountains. Now with bottle fillers, you'll notice that one right there has the built-in bottle fillers. Um especially after COVID, that's certainly a high priority that everybody has their water bottles uh and
have the opportunity to easily fill them. Okay, now I've got one slide for each of the uh uh larger facilities. The first uh item up uh we refer to as 15e um Saddle View Elementary School that's
um out in the Ardan community. We had um opening of this school in August. Very excited. This is a uh prototype footprint. This is um the same footprint as that which we built at Blue Lake
Elementary School in Bokeh and um and will be our next one up in the Westlake community. >> I wanted to add Oops. I want to add um this one was supposed to be borrowed for and we ended up with with more impact
fees than we expected. So this is the first school in as long as I've been at the district that we fully funded with impact fees. Um, normally we get impact fees on a retroactive basis and we're getting the money afterwards after we've already borrowed for a school and I worked with county staff and we were
able to fund this one with impact fees. So, um, that that's great that we were able to do that and not have to pay interest on it. Um, Mr. Porter, you have a question. >> Yeah, just a comment for the committee that looking at that slide, this school was built from dirt to what you see in
one year. >> Yes. Yes. Um we started in April, May and uh we were open by August the following year. Um we uh just going forward, thank you very much for pointing that out, but we don't want to
commit to that going forward. It's it was uh far too difficult. As a matter of fact, uh the next one we're working on, Westlake, we're planning on opening we're hoping to start construction in this spring. Um,
>> yeah, it's but as early as possible so that we can get it done by August of 207. >> Okay. Um, that's Saddle View. The next one, I I left this one on there. Um, this is Pine Grove Elementary. It was
modernized and it was opened for last school year and the only part that we did not I think we actually had it open at midy year uh last year. Uh the one area where we needed to work on we needed to redo
the parking lot. Um actually where we knocked down the old building we created the parking lot from it. So, what you're seeing here is the second phase um the construction of the parking lot and um and I'll point out that we did have our um dedication ser uh ceremony on
Pinerove um I'll I think I got a note on it in the coming slides uh in September or October. Our next school modernization was Winbrook um Elementary. Um this is an existing school. We kept a
couple of buildings and um built a the L-shaped building uh on that as the new campus and re restructured the whole site and how they park, how they drive in u
campus circulation community. This is a very um very small community kind of school. they uh a lot of walkers um and uh so we took into account the demographics uh when we when we rebuilt this school. >> I've heard from school staff how happy
they are that you were able to keep the trees up next to those buildings. >> Was one of the big items we we held on to is um a lot of the the uh more mature trees uh we were able to retain them.
Okay, next one up, uh, West Riv West Rivier Elementary. Um, that is also a school in which we kept a couple of the buildings and are um renovating those while building uh a big new classroom uh
campus. Um, this facility will be open for August of uh 26. As you can see, it's pretty far along right now. Um, and this is uh the I this is one item that
is not on the referendum list. I get this wrong every single time. It's not on the referendum list, but I think we had money. >> It was it was the last um back in 1999. It's I remember this. I was here that long. Um we did we had a study done on
modernizations in which schools we needed to get done and this is the last one on that list. So, we're all very proud getting that done so we can check off that we've completed every project on that list and it was expected to take this long. It was not a list to do immediately, but um this is the last one
of that batch and I know Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Dolan are already looking for the future of what's what needs to be done next, but this is the last of the old schools that needed to be updated and modernized. >> Okay.
Uh, next up, next item up is the uh, and forgive me if I keep referring to it as a phase one, but this is the phase one of our historic Roosevelt uh, campus uh, uh, Roosevelt Full Service Center as as it may have been known before. Uh, there
are two buildings on the campus uh, that are being renovated. The one that you see on the on the left corner is the um historic gymnasium that that is being um reworked, redone, and uh reconstituted
as a uh a big common area space, a gymnasium as well. Uh and then there's a building in the back that is a laboratory building that's being reconstituted for adult education programs. And then that great uh gray building with the red in in the front
there is the brand new two-story uh uh adults education uh classroom building. Uh lots of programs. And then you'll notice that off to the right on the big photo is the remainder of the historic campus. and um not part of this
referendum, but we do have plans uh to uh renovate the buildings uh some of those buildings in the front and reconstitute the whole campus. We're working with our part community partners on this one. So, okay.
Uh and I think this might be my last one. Um Village Academy, I mentioned earlier we we done the PPM for the Village Academy kitchen expansion. Uh and this project has just gotten started. We're in the demo stages. You can see uh protecting some of the
existing uh facilities there. And then of course I like I always like this slide. Um this is uh I'm not we're not going to play any of the videos now. You're certainly welcome to tune in. Uh uh there all those three are all
hyperlin. We had school dedications for both Pinerove and for Winbrook in September and October. uh this year and uh we have a great video that our our communications department that 10 put together on all the work that we do in
what our traditional summer work looks like. Um a lot of heavy duty work when students aren't around. So, um we're we're quite happy with the work that got done this past summer. I think that's >> I think we get down to the dates for the
next meetings. Um, so the next one is February 27th, May 8th, the o the August 2028. The August 28th we may push that back a little bit. It's really hard to get all the documents ready for you um
for June 30th and normally we close within like 20 days, but at the end of the year it takes a little while longer. There's a lot of work that's happening behind the scenes. So we'll probably shift that one into September. Um the November 13th meeting might >> Well, I think it's really February 20th
and not 27th. Yeah. I just Yep. I just confirmed. >> Okay. >> Maybe we're already thinking ahead that it's going to have to be changed to the 27th. >> Maybe I will send those meeting invites out this afternoon. So, they're on your calendar. And I think that's it.
>> That is it. That is the last slide. >> Are there any questions, issues, concerns? Okay, we do have one other item on the agenda. >> Still have an agenda item. >> Yeah. Well, at at the May meeting, we had an item there to elect the chair for
FY25. FY25 is now over. Um and to do the chair term waiver. Um this committee has in the past wanted to allow >> Mr. Porter to continue to serve as chair. for him. He has gone well beyond the four-year term that's allowed. So,
we have to go to the board to get permission to let him serve an additional year. So, I wanted to come to the committee and see if that is what you would like to do. If it is, I'll get that added on to the board agenda item for December. >> I think that would be great, Leanne.
Thank you. >> Okay. Do you need a motion for that? >> Yes, please. that I motion to to request that from the board for an additional year so that Mr. Porter can >> Okay. And we have a second here in the
room for Mr. Elmore. >> So, all in favor? >> I >> I >> I >> um I'll take that to the board in December. So, it'll be ready and at the February meeting, whether it's the 20th or the 27th, I figured that out and we'll have an item on the agenda for two
well two. one for you to elect a chair and vice chair and also probably the chair term waiver for FY27. We'll bring them both in so that we're ready in advance for next year. >> And that is all we have on the agenda. I would like to sincerely thank you all um
for being here whether in person or virtual. It is so important to us to make sure we're sharing all this information with you. We are being transparent. You're seeing all the information as soon as possible. So, thank you so much for being here today. Okay. >> Is there anything we need to actually
formally report to the board or all of this has already gone to the board for approved changes? >> These have gone to the board. What I will be working on for the February meeting is a is an annual report. Um, our annual report should be done after the at the end of the calendar year. I'm
not sure if we'll do it at the February meeting because we would not have received the last of the sales tax revenue. It probably will be done. It might be ready for the meeting. We'll see if we've had the money if the money has come in yet. If it is, I'll bring a meeting uh the draft agenda item in so
you all can review it and approve it. So, we'll take an item to the board summarizing um the sales tax and all that's been done so far. Um probably in March, but I'll bring it to you in February. >> Maybe that's another reason to have
February 27th instead of the 20th for the meeting. >> We'll we'll look and compare notes. there's there's always other meetings in the room. So, it it it we book these we book the room usually two years out trying to make sure we have the room and
then when we have to change it because we can't get a quorum or something, the rooms are all completely booked. So, it's it's very challenging. We're very lucky that we have the option to do virtual. Um so that if we get to a point where we need to have a meeting and we can't get a room, we could do it
entirely virtual meeting, but I know a lot of people would prefer to come in person. Um so we'll try to accommodate everyone and we'll get these meeting dates sent out to you this afternoon. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, happy Thanksgiving everyone. >> Yes.
>> Thank you, Leanne. Happy Thanksgiving. >> Thank you all very much. Have a great day. >> Great meeting. >> Great meeting. >> Good meeting.
