It's pretty easy. Pretty simple one today. Not a lot. >> I looked it over. >> We're coming in. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, we'll discuss that. That's a big one. >> Uh Tom might come. I told him there wasn't much, but we can get >> we can get started whenever you're ready. Yeah. >> So, we're calling to order the operations meeting for Friday, November 14th. >> Glasses on 14th. >> Board members present. Mark Inhadowski. >> Uh, we will approve the agenda. I'll make that motion. >> Yes. >> Favor. >> We'll approve the posted minutes. Make that motion. >> Second. >> Approved. >> All right. So, a couple things that are in progress that you're aware of that, um, working on the bus patrol update. Uh, I just got back Ivy Lands Worminster's Upper South had a couple questions and wanted a couple just minor changes on the wording of how they said township and things like that. Um, so that should be back to me next week. Um, the install is set for the second week of December now to start and be done by the first or second week of January. So, we should be able to we we're planning right now to put out all the information to the public to go live the day we get back from winter break, which whatever that Monday is, I think the 5th. >> Yeah, I believe so. >> So, that's our projection on, you know, and if a few buses aren't quite in operation yet, those will follow in next week. So, we project to go live with the system, advertise it for a couple weeks prior, all that on that first week of January. So, uh, that hopefully enhances that safety we need for those school buses, >> right? >> And then >> we could I mean, I don't know if we'll have the the attention of the entire nation, but we can mention them at the uh upcoming schoolboard meetings, too, just to start prepping people in the >> Yeah, >> those public forums as well. If we know it's coming, then heads up. We're gonna we'll communicate more, but >> just anybody watching, listening, >> and I'll get some language from them to do. >> Great. >> So, I'll say, "Hey, how do you put this out formally? what's the language you use to so it sounds you know so I can talk with them and ask about language and communication >> do the violations start right away or is there there's a phasing period where they get a warning then it's a violation >> that's the advertised period because I don't know if it's a week or two weeks yet how long they had to advertise the system's going to be online this date as soon as it goes online officially that's when it's >> violation start right away >> it is >> you're aware of the boardroom sewer line [clears throat] um that's going on we're going to start tearing half this room apart, carpet up and everything somewhere in that 18th. Mask everything off, you know, prep it all for them because they're going to have to come in here and jackhammer and saw all the concrete. Um, they're expected to start that the Friday after actually start the the sawing and jackhammer Friday after Christmas and maybe work Saturday and then two to three days the next week because of New Year's and hopefully out of there by that next Friday with the concrete down. It can cure for a few days and then we come back the following week and start putting the room back in order. >> They going to be able to save this charge of carpet. >> Um >> I'm only kidding. I hope I hope not. [laughter] >> We have some others. >> I actually kind of hope not. >> Yeah, we have some other some samples, but I do want to try and save it. It's just Oh, really? Okay. >> One less expense. Depends how they come up, but I have extras upstairs, so >> you might not get that wish. [laughter] Um, so I don't know if >> just out of curiosity, where's the where is the area where they're going to be? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, the hallway will be good. >> Just this area right here where it's >> okay. [laughter] [clears throat] >> Sure. Okay. >> All right. [clears throat] So, >> yeah, >> it's important, but yeah. >> Yeah. >> Knowing it's the fault line is here now when we, you know, we're back in session next year and the [laughter] the board table tilts in, >> right? planned. Um, so I don't know, a couple weeks ago we got notice from the uh schoolhouse learnings uh one their attorney or whatever about wanting to redraw plot lines at the bus garage and we don't know exactly what that looks like yet. We put our solicitors and them are talking. We don't know if they want to redraw it for purpose of I don't know if they're going to sell or they just want to redraw so they can give us that portion and sell us that portion that we are utilizing. We don't know those details yet, but I thought it would be good Tom and I talked about it to bring this to your attention that we're working on this. As you see in the lefthand one, that is our property and you see our building goes through part of their property and our gas pumps and where we park are mostly on their property and we actually own that garage up front which I was not aware of but they lease it out to they lease it out to a landscaper the schoolhouse learning. So I think that's where the trade-off might have been. I can't find any official paperwork on that, but I think they're allowed to lease that. So, I don't know if they want to take that garage and their building and give us the rest. I don't know, but there's more to follow on that. And uh I think it would be beneficial if we could get all that land considering we don't have enough room for parking and things like that. So, just wanted to raise that up so you know what that's happening. [clears throat] accessib. [snorts] said these lines here, right? They own everything else. It sounds like what they're using. Yeah, there's there's another an easier one to see on the left. You can see both plots together. >> You don't [clears throat] you don't I mean anything's possible, but you don't see the possibility they have to redo that. Hey, surprise. Next week we're selling. No money. That was the case. >> This kind of got sprung on you. before week, >> right? Whatever it is, [laughter] >> this drawing came from their lawyer through through this. >> What's that? >> Oh, maybe it's Barry Isaac. Yeah, this is how it's being used, you know, right now. So, we don't know what they're what they want to do with the property or they just want to clear it up or they're not sure if they want to are putting up for sale. So, Okay. Same things are going on with capital planning. Uh looking at a few roofs also we were talking about a little bit ago, but that's uh Clinger and Log need some attention maybe next summer in a couple of the areas. So more to follow on that. Um this is just normal and we'll get to the FCS thing here coming for to take to the board. We'll talk about that. Tom, you have any capital updates on any of these slides or they're still pretty much Okay, it's okay. Okay, so Oh, that's not We had Barry Isaac come out a few months ago and look at both rooms to see it was feasible and lay them out. And this is the proposal they came back with to basically develop a full plan to for install through the construction phase and that's for so it's 40 40,000 per building basically um to do all of that for us. Um biggest thing is uh asbestous abatement and things like that that we're you know that have to be done because both those buildings still have those tiles in them. So, um, I wanted to take this forward to the board so we can get that planned so we can get it in next summer schedule because we if we wait too long, they're not going to have time to do the engineering and all the drawings and things like that if we don't get it moving forward. And even if they do this phase now and we can't afford it next summer, that portion is done and all the drawings are there, engineer drawings are done, everything's complete, we can go on it, we can send out stuff based on that, you know, bids and things like that. So that's any thoughts on that? >> Um, yeah, I I think you actually just answered my question, but um, you know, I was read it. It's, you know, the scope of work, the project itself. No, no issues at all. Makes sense. You know, what they're proposing makes sense. The work needs to get done. Absolutely. Um, but I was looking at it as it's, you know, basically it's just re rebuilding some interiors. It's not exterior work. It's not, you know, sight lines on ground work and stuff. So, looking at the proposal, it looks like Barry Isette is basically a project manager. >> So, you know, just throwing this out there. I know you were busy. you know, you're doing a lot, but I've worked you for, you know, for a couple years. I respect your abilities. You're a smart guy. You know what you're doing. I think you do a great job. >> Not that I want to heap a lot more your plate, but >> do we need to spend $81,000 for a project manager? Can't that be done in house? >> So, in total, yeah, we could do some of I I agree with you. We could do something in house, but some of that is a cost that I'm gonna we're going to take on anyway. the cost of uh the design. I mean, I'm I'm not a designer, right? Um the cost of any of the engineered drawings, which are probably $10,000. >> The contractor doing the work wouldn't do that. Yeah. Wouldn't they do that? >> They would have those engineered drawings ready. That's part of this is doing the drawings and everything. So, some of those costs are in here. Yeah. Could we save maybe? I mean, we're going to do newspaper advertisements and bid phase and we're going to pay for that or we have to go out with that. So, I mean, do we save $30,000? Maybe. >> You know, I you're not going to save 81 is what I'm >> Okay. So, it's down to >> It's not going to be an $81,000 savings because I do it because we still have to do many of these phases also. Okay. And pay somebody to do some of it. >> So, just >> Yeah. And that's both both schools. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm not >> right. >> Right. >> Engineer drawings for uh >> Yeah. No, the price isn't bad. I just, you know, it's just money to when we have somebody who knows their knows their stuff. >> But then again, I guess for like 30 grand, >> you would probably have to take this on full-time, which means you wouldn't be able to do anything else. So now it's a trade-off. It's probably worth the 30 grand to just get it done and you can continue doing your thing instead of being buried knee deep in this every day, >> which you would probably have to be, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Y classroom project. Yeah. Yep. That makes sense. >> Yep. Yeah, they do. Every class goes through. >> You know, that's kind of that's what I thought was going to be was just rec cabinetry, a little more things be done. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> We're going to take a wall out in one of the in the log college. There's a wall coming out that we know is not >> modernizing these things for the first time in what? >> Oh, yeah. No, there absolutely 100% this needs to be done. >> Right. >> We want something [laughter] there. We want something with the olive green metal cabinets >> fall apart in >> with the olive green metal cabinets >> like that's a waste of if it's not good quality and done right it's not going to last >> yeah no I I didn't realize >> the scope of it was as large >> and it's use room >> yeah and yeah like I said I I have full faith that you could you could manage it but then for 11 grand per classroom you'd be running back and forth every day for months and not be able to do your job >> and and that right >> figure out a way to do it in house but I'd have three of my four maintenance guys working all summer on that, >> you know, for weeks and they would get nothing else completed. It's a really it's it's a big grab. It's not an easy project with plumbing. >> No, it makes sense. It makes complete sense. I just >> venting everything. >> Yeah. >> So, it's always been there. Yeah. >> No, it's exciting to be moving. >> Oh, yeah. I know. It's awesome to get it done. >> I'm going to get this done for a long time. So, Oh yeah, there's no no question about it needing to be done. The you know the scope of the work. I just thought we could manage it in house, but it makes more sense for you to do your regular job. >> Yeah, I have no issue with the taking this. >> Yeah, I'm good with it. Yeah. And again, we can we can move this forward and have it complete. >> Yeah. >> And if we say, hey, comes budget time, we can't afford it this year, we hold it for a year, but all of this work is good. >> Yeah. >> And we won't have and we won't have 81 grand in it by the time we get all the plans. we won't be paying them the rest of the construction phase and things like that and the in the bids until we go move forward to that project, you know. So, we're going to put a lot less in it to get it ready to go before we totally send it out for bid and do it. So, >> yeah. No, I understand it makes sense. >> Great. That's it. >> Okay, we're >> perfect. Wonderful. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> No issues there. [laughter] Tom's still got time to do other things. Yeah, >> it really
