DTSD Webinars: Thank you, and welcome to the march. 20, seventh, 2,023 general services Meeting today is Monday ready for long day of meetings. One thing I do wanna for those that are online. If anyone's online.
DTSD Webinars: the we didn't have the agenda up, there were some issues with agenda manager. So it was only posted today, and it had nothing to do with the district. We had something to do with the software, so we apologize for the late additions.
DTSD Webinars: so we'll go around the room. We'll do a roll call. Just please mention your name and your position for this committee, and i'll start it off and then go to my right. Mike Rizzo School Board Member
DTSD Webinars: Maria, let me school board.
DTSD Webinars: Stacey Winslow, Superintendent Terry Singer School Board. Bob, and a school board short for sale business Manager
Michele Agee: Michelle and the Board Secretary.
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. A Saji.
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Fowler, Are you? Are you participating in?
John Fowler: Mr. Father is here?
DTSD Webinars: Thank you.
DTSD Webinars: Okay? So going to item number 3 approval or summary minutes. Can I get a motion to approve the minutes from the last meeting?
DTSD Webinars: Second, Bob Bennett. any discussion.
DTSD Webinars: This is standard voice. Vote all in favor. Say aye, any opposed
DTSD Webinars: I, Carrie. Motion is approved.
DTSD Webinars: Go to item number 4 unfinished business. So we're just gonna do a projects update today. I don't think we have any any real finalization on some of these things. So it's just gonna be an update from the last meeting
DTSD Webinars: is that Mr. Anderson or Miss Purcell? Are you going to do the updates today?
DTSD Webinars: We'll do some.
DTSD Webinars: We'll popcorn it. That's why
DTSD Webinars: so this for item number a a, the concession stand.
DTSD Webinars: So we did get the
DTSD Webinars: second draft back from our solicitor, who had reviewed it, and came up now, still with a few more changes. Another page I did walk through. I had a chance to. I spoke with him on Friday, and we walked through the documents. So it's. I feel pretty good about it. There's nothing there that's significant that should take a lot of time to to correct. Once we talk about it.
DTSD Webinars: So Friday before the end of the day, I did send it to Mr. Ted Vdock with animal associates.
DTSD Webinars: and offered that Stacy and I would be available after today, sometimes this week, to meet, to discuss the timeline that we really do want to get moving on this. And hopefully, those proposed changes don't take very long, and that we can nail down a timeline and get this back in front of the board for approval.
DTSD Webinars: So when we
DTSD Webinars: hopefully, we'll know more sometime this week about a timeline.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, thank you very much.
DTSD Webinars: And then item B under projects, update, sinkhole mitigation.
DTSD Webinars: So we are. That is
DTSD Webinars: out to bid. Right now we are.
DTSD Webinars: What what is our date? We are March 20, seventh. So the last day for questions on the sinkhole mitigation is on March 30 first. We know that, I believe at least.
DTSD Webinars: or
DTSD Webinars: vendors. I don't have to call them contractors. Thank you. That's the word i'm looking for. I've been out to look at the site. It is a place where they can just drive by. So we had a we did have a meeting where 2 contractors showed up, and we walk them through, answer questions there to others
DTSD Webinars: have come and and driven past, and one of them is familiar with campus already. So it was just taking another look.
DTSD Webinars: So last day for questions like I said, is March the 30 first. The bid opens April the sixth.
DTSD Webinars: and once those bids come in. They'll come before the board for the board to determine who to determine the award. The contract to
DTSD Webinars: that is moving right along.
DTSD Webinars: Okay.
DTSD Webinars: with the the sinkhole mitigation. Any any major concerns we have as far as timing for the school, or that can happen regardless.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, because of the location of that, and it being in the
so sorry
DTSD Webinars: being in the Storm Water
DTSD Webinars: Basin, it is not. It's really not in the way of the kids, and they have
DTSD Webinars: we'll, we'll give them an area where it can be like their
DTSD Webinars: their area for equipment and that sort of thing. And and Jim Caldwell actually kind of had identified where he wants them to come in from the side
DTSD Webinars: to do work, and part of the project is that they have to put things back. So if they have to remove some fencing, or if some of the ground gets torn up, they have to fix that.
DTSD Webinars: but it won't be in the way of the kids. Thank you.
DTSD Webinars: I did want to mention with that, too, with the the bid opening it, this one will be a little different, since we're none of us, I don't think, are familiar with ended. So this one we did work with Mr. Caldwell to put this through Pen bit, so it's posted
DTSD Webinars: publicly out there to site. I'm not familiar with it's not a a
DTSD Webinars: not something. I've worked through it's normally, you know, kids would be to hand delivered to the district. We'd have a bit opening, and we to open them and touch them, but they have a process to open and evaluate them, and then work with us. So
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Cargo was away on vacation last week. I do want to talk to him just going into this, since it is something that we're not terribly familiar with the process. I want to understand it better before you know the the bid opening kind of roles around.
DTSD Webinars: but it's a small one. It was good a lot of contractors asked to use that platform, and again, not knowing it. This was a kind of a smaller
DTSD Webinars: kind of bid document. So thought it was a good test run to see
DTSD Webinars: the process.
DTSD Webinars: and it's called pendant.
DTSD Webinars: just platform out there. You could actually anybody can go out log in and see that our bits posted. You can see it. It looks like i'm a vendor that wants to.
DTSD Webinars: you know. Are you gonna submit a bit. I'm like No, I just wanted to kind of go see what they're saying. You can see the questions that are posted, the the responses, everything's handled out there. So anyone that has a question should go through there. There should be no direct questions to to us, to the contract, you know, to the to
DTSD Webinars: call well or 2. Everything's put out there. So then everybody they ask a question. Everybody sees.
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, makes it a play.
DTSD Webinars: They're playing field rather so. Everybody sees all the questions, all the answers, and that's how it's handled.
DTSD Webinars: This is Tyler Singer. I did have one question. I I couldn't recall Dr. Winslow did this include the possibility of expansion of the Basin
DTSD Webinars: for the possibility of the Roller Street document.
DTSD Webinars: The whole area needs to be revamped.
DTSD Webinars: So if we decide to move forward with that, that would be part of that design process.
DTSD Webinars: any other questions
DTSD Webinars: regarding the single mitigation.
DTSD Webinars: Okay. So in the next item C. The Rfp. For architect.
DTSD Webinars: A timeline on the new elementary school.
Hmm.
DTSD Webinars: Come here. You want to go. Very excited. We got. We did get 5 responses, so they're unopened as of this point, but they would do it 10 by 100'clock this morning, so we've gotten one on Friday and then 4 showed up today. So we do have 5.
DTSD Webinars: We'll need to come up with a
DTSD Webinars: after this meeting, but a rubric basically for scoring, so that board members can come in, take a look at it, so that everybody has a chance to walk through a rubric and and score all of the proposals.
DTSD Webinars: and then we'll. From that we'll determine the interview process which is scheduled for
DTSD Webinars: right now. It's looking like April eleventh.
DTSD Webinars: So then, once we once we narrow it down because 5 would be too many. So I mean ideally, i'm thinking we get it down to 3 to publicly interview from the 5 proposals that we received. But again I Haven't looked at them. So I I don't know.
DTSD Webinars: I don't know what's in the envelope. Well, you and Dr. Wenzo also fill out the rubric as well. Okay. So then it would be
DTSD Webinars: Oh, my 11 of us, looking at it.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, good. Thank you. Very excited. I scroll them away back in my
DTSD Webinars: small conference room to look at when we're done this evening.
DTSD Webinars: Oh.
DTSD Webinars: any other questions on the Rp. Project for architect?
DTSD Webinars: What are you going to leave them there for us to come in and look at them. Okay. Okay, yeah. Our intent is to have it ready for you by 30'clock tomorrow.
DTSD Webinars: so you can start coming in.
DTSD Webinars: and then, when do we have to have it done?
DTSD Webinars: Well, we'll want to invite them for interviews, so
DTSD Webinars: we would want to have that invitation extended prior to the eleventh.
DTSD Webinars: so probably before we probably, for we leave for
DTSD Webinars: Spring Break.
DTSD Webinars: maybe the fifth or sixth.
DTSD Webinars: But it could be. I mean it really could go up through the seventh.
DTSD Webinars: I did have one question, Mike. This is Terry Singer.
DTSD Webinars: and I just don't recall from my days of looking at Rfps? Do they separate out the the budget and financial part of it from the statement of work part of it, or do we see all of it
DTSD Webinars: that we we asked for all of it if they wanted to put it's not going to be cost of the project. This is just their cost to do the work that they would be doing for us.
DTSD Webinars: Right? Okay. So we'll see a a complete proposal. The work they
DTSD Webinars: proposed to carry out, plus the cost of that work, right? And we ask them for very specific headings. Okay, thank you. Examples from other school, you know, from other projects. They had done references. So we'll need to do all the due diligence. The reference checks all of that probably would not be a bad idea, though, if I emailed
DTSD Webinars: and my email at the 5, just to put a placeholder and everybody's calendar for April eleventh, that we will be in contact by the end of next week. I mean, that would be fair, since we are doing a pretty quick turnaround. We had said interviews by the twentieth, I believe.
DTSD Webinars: and and just one of the questions. Since this is a professional services contract.
DTSD Webinars: we're not obligated to take the lowest bitter.
DTSD Webinars: correct. This is more of a package deal so based on what you see. You know how
DTSD Webinars: what the you know, what they submitted from that, and then, as well as then, to the next round to the interviews we'll have. We will come up with standard interview questions. We'll have them here. We have public conversation. We'll ask them all the same questions and then have our.
DTSD Webinars: you know regroup after that and get everyone's
DTSD Webinars: rubric again, so to speak, you know, or you know, feel for how we want to proceed.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, thank you. And then this is: make rid of the the fee for the architect is percentage of the total
DTSD Webinars: total project. So they will have kind of an estimate. We asked for what they would, how they would charge their fees. What would be, you know I would like to see what's included in their basic services, so that we know that we're
DTSD Webinars: capturing as much in that that basic cost. So there's not, you know, the add ons that
DTSD Webinars: creep in and
DTSD Webinars: jump the price of the the contract, so we'll see how they they state it. And then we, because it is an Rp. It's not a done deal, you know. There's there's flexibility to to work with them on.
DTSD Webinars: you know. Fine-tuning that so as big.
DTSD Webinars: Thank you any further questions.
DTSD Webinars: Okay. So now we'll go into Item D, the traffic study, and this is for the the area in front of the High School
DTSD Webinars: former
DTSD Webinars: project. That was the kind of the leg off of Pebble Beach.
DTSD Webinars: And so this study was conducted by over 2. I know that they have information for us.
DTSD Webinars: and the last time that Jim Caldwell was here. He did share some very brief pieces, like there were numbers that suggested that we did not warrant an extra lane, for
DTSD Webinars: I think the left hand turn piece on on 3, 22 or on homestead rather.
DTSD Webinars: but they do have ideas for the front of the building, and how to mitigate some of the
DTSD Webinars: what we see is safety concerns with student traffic, parent traffic, and so forth for drop off and pick up, so he will be joining us for our April AD hoc facilities meeting to give that group an overview of that traffic study report.
DTSD Webinars: So our next general services we should have a little bit more detail to share with that. And that is a project that
DTSD Webinars: while is a concern, and it's something that we want to be planning for in the future we probably see that as a 3 to 5 year project not something that we would start right in on right away. We have a whole bunch of other things that
DTSD Webinars: need to be taken care of first.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, Any any questions for Dr. Winslow.
DTSD Webinars: The issue with that project in
DTSD Webinars: It's kind of ebbs and flows. It does right.
DTSD Webinars: So why we wouldn't want to do anything, you know, really extreme, because next year and there hasn't been, the traffic is significantly different.
DTSD Webinars: but that that coming off of
DTSD Webinars: that's what's really bad. So it's interesting that that's what they said like. I wonder what they're
DTSD Webinars: It could be just as much as traffic light timing, I was thinking, because I don't think there's an officer there in the morning manipulating that.
DTSD Webinars: I I know that Officer Kessler is out there at some point, but I think it's the afternoon.
DTSD Webinars: not the morning. So that's the concern is because getting to the left in the High School. People are up out like kind of hanging out in there, and it's for such a small.
DTSD Webinars: It's so like 15 min that are horrible
DTSD Webinars: literally let 10 cars in, and it's just so bad. But I
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, so that's just so. I'm I'm: i'm looking forward to
DTSD Webinars: to hearing more about that report and what their suggestions are. But they're right, because that's all a big security mess on the interior once you get in there. So yeah, all of the
DTSD Webinars: yeah. Well, just the safety issues there.
DTSD Webinars: We'll be interested that See how that one plays out. Thank you. Of course. Any additional questions.
DTSD Webinars: All right, Thank you, Dr. Winslow.
DTSD Webinars: And then the final one is Letter Letter E Memorial Field and Softball Field Parking Lot Update. Yes, and that is, if you'll recall again. Mr. Caldwell was with us for our last general services meeting, and he had a layout
DTSD Webinars: of the proposed parking lot improvements, and we liked those, and gave him the go ahead to take that to the township. So it is currently in the front of the township for review.
DTSD Webinars: Once they give their approval, then it'll come back to us
DTSD Webinars: to prepare the bid documents and to move move on that actual construction. Then so this Microsoft question is, what's the expectation of getting the township approval. Is that, like we think that conversation the whole entire time. So I I don't anticipate, it being
DTSD Webinars: a problem. It may just be that Mr. Caldwell's on vacation. He was on vacation this week. Actually.
DTSD Webinars: if I recall this is Terry Singer and I might have this mixed up with something else. Did we regain some impervious coverage on the last
DTSD Webinars: drawings of the of the lots?
Yeah.
DTSD Webinars: Any additional questions.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, Thank you, Dr: we, as though.
DTSD Webinars: So next we'll go to new business, and Miss Purcell will take us through the capital plan working document.
DTSD Webinars: Okay, so this is a. He has a very much working process. So this is something that you're familiar with. It's got the 2223 projects that we had
DTSD Webinars: basically board approved as our cat plan for 2,223.
DTSD Webinars: What I've done is updated it. We we've noted on there at the paid to date, so you can see how things are in process the projects that have been, you know, undertaken so far this year.
DTSD Webinars: and then things that we needed to maybe bump out to 2324, and that's where we will start having the conversation for the 2324
DTSD Webinars: cap plan, budget, and and things that we think of. So there's there's still some work to be done in this area. There's I want to make sure we've we've captured things. We've been having conversations with technology, and that I don't think made it to this list. We've got Technology needs to come on here with
DTSD Webinars: our transportation. some athletic facilities, and of course, on building the grounds. So
DTSD Webinars: and again. Really don't know where to go, so if if we go through it, we have the facility study which, of course, you know, we we did had the $9,500. We spent 10,300, but that is complete. And now we're here, going on to the next step with the architect. So again.
DTSD Webinars: there will be costs associated with all the things that will be undertaking with the next steps with the the plan design all the time that we're going to be spending with them that $100,000 is dropping bucket. I have. I have no idea, really, where that that will leap from from there at some point. But I just again put something in, because
DTSD Webinars: that's just a drop in the bucket on a on a large project. But all those all those you know, those steps I have to.
DTSD Webinars: You know the design face will be in that design phase, or whatever you know, whatever those next steps are the conversations as to what is the plan, and how do how do we do it? The act? 34 all the community engagement? So we'll be working closely with them, so they will have a significant time investment.
DTSD Webinars: Once once we award that contract
DTSD Webinars: Ecc. Walk in, and the numbers on the the left hand side. It's just we. We've started trying to in our office identify projects so we can group things because it was getting to be very challenging, not knowing. You know, we we just want our project number, so that that's just our internal piece of it, so that we can pull the cost together pretty easily. Ecc: walk in. That was just something that needed to repair this year.
DTSD Webinars: and we did it under a cap reserve sort of walk in Fraser Refrigerator: yeah.
DTSD Webinars: Okay.
DTSD Webinars: cool.
DTSD Webinars: So because it was integral to building things, we let it go head through here, and we know it's going to be a a minor amount, so just to get it taken care of.
DTSD Webinars: Auditorium upgrades. This is the Middle school we've been talking about that that that's bumped out that we have not had a chance to really start
DTSD Webinars: thinking through. We'll. We'll need to spend some time on it, but wanted to get some of these other priority projects. So I know Dr. Wenzel and I have tried to make a concerted effort to say, okay, what's what's the the order we want to tackle things in, and
DTSD Webinars: that one's coming. But it's it's not here. So it's just gonna would like to bump it out. It definitely needs to be addressed, but
DTSD Webinars: it's not going to happen in the school year
DTSD Webinars: need to talk to Mr. Anderson. We still have that concrete beam. Want to take a check, you know. Check in on that, just to see if that needs to stay on the list. I bumped it out just so that we have the conversation for 2324. We did not need to do anything in this current school year, but we'll address that before we come back, for you know, a final 2324, just at least address
DTSD Webinars: to the committee where that stands, if it's a concern or not.
DTSD Webinars: So did we have a preliminary
DTSD Webinars: inspection of that being. This came from last summer last year when I had gotten here. and that was
and
it's this this being
DTSD Webinars: what is that? If we need to repair it, it will not be as extensive. Okay.
DTSD Webinars: Do you remember that one? How much? That was? A pretty extensive theme repair from the year before?
DTSD Webinars: Okay, so I think. And that's At the same time they identify that there's a potential issue correct. That was during that work. That was when they identified. This is another potential issue.
DTSD Webinars: but they did cut out some kind of freest traps from time ago. and they kind of put
DTSD Webinars: not a very good solution in place. So we're
DTSD Webinars: We're already going down there, probably here in spring, just to see if any additional movement you took measurements. We were there before.
DTSD Webinars: I'm. Sorry i'm sorry Jim took some.
DTSD Webinars: I see brief field measurements. We're in there before, so we'll get a good look at it this spring.
DTSD Webinars: Thank you, Mr. Anders. Yes, sir.
DTSD Webinars: we'll just keep going the the library to communication. We we got that done last summer, so so we're good on that. That was the the cost came in just as as expected traffic assessment. That's what we were just talking about. So you can see that's that's so ongoing we've we've paid on that. But
DTSD Webinars: again, and I need to. Once we talk to Mr. Caldwell. Find out if there's any work, or if there's going to be any additional costs related to their findings. I I don't know that I just put a line item in there to address for 2,324. If there is anything that's going to be
DTSD Webinars: possibly a, you know, Has a any kind of a cost to the district Just don't know yet, but wanted to make sure we
DTSD Webinars: we're. We're thinking about it, anyway.
DTSD Webinars: and the others. Everything was th the sequel, the storm water. You can just see we're we're just tracking the cost as we go. I do have a phone call. I've been talking to.
DTSD Webinars: Jim called. Well, about the expenses you'll see, like I I think our paid to date Numbers are pretty high for some of these based on what we were quoted. So I need to understand that, and I sent some information back to him and was waiting for
DTSD Webinars: they're accounting people to weed through it. And again with his schedule. I just haven't I haven't heard back. So I do want to address that. Because i'm not sure why that number would be so high. I mean, I don't know there's always a couple of little things that there's extra fees for, but that to me seemed high.
DTSD Webinars: so we'll keep an eye on that and come back on that one.
DTSD Webinars: And you see we're we're just kind of under way with all the other projects.
DTSD Webinars: the memorial field, the softball field
DTSD Webinars: parking lot, and this parking lot construction paving again, as we talk to Jim, called. Well, a little bit more. Get estimates. That 100,000 was a ballpark number he gave us a year ago. I just plopped it out, moved it out a year, but I would based on the work that he's doing now. I'd like him to give some updated again that the 100, the 2 50 from the Storm Water Basin.
DTSD Webinars: Don't know if there's numbers. Hold hold water. At this point. They were a year old, but there's his estimate. Then, so we'll get. We'll work with him as we as we work with him to AD hoc, and then to update these numbers that we, you know, one a little clear
DTSD Webinars: picture on the cost
DTSD Webinars: gym floors. There's a agreement tonight to to approve that, so that we'll get scheduled so we'll get that high school Gym: for we finished this May June. So that's good.
DTSD Webinars: That's been on safety and security. That was just the wrap up of the the finalization of the project that was underway for a couple of years now.
DTSD Webinars: Okay. So speaking of the gym floor, is this just a repair, or is this actually replace?
DTSD Webinars: This is the last one, was it? Yeah, it's just it's just a repair.
DTSD Webinars: It's a complete resurfacing. We're taking it down to the wood, and then we take it down. They'll pull some course for us, and that will tell us how many more we're finishing we have, but
DTSD Webinars: we're going to take it down
DTSD Webinars: but 2 sealer coats on, and then 3 finish coats. We work with the vendor to
DTSD Webinars: cut the price in half, and no, I think it back. He offered to give us that because he's not working this area before.
DTSD Webinars: So
DTSD Webinars: i'm looking forward to it. It'll all be an auto. It' be an all water-based system. and that's what really gets used very, very hard.
Okay.
DTSD Webinars: alright, Thank you, Miss Anderson.
Hmm.
DTSD Webinars: In session. In addition, again, those are numbers from last year just move them out to 2324 since we know it's still going to at some point cross over years Once we talk to you have a chance to talk to
DTSD Webinars: Ted. Beat out this week hopefully. We'll have a better ideas to timing, and and some of this he's not. We've not gotten billed yet for the the work he had done on the
good documents which were extensive, so
DTSD Webinars: I would expect to see cost this year yet. But
DTSD Webinars: the one thing I did add on there is the turf replacement and track resurfacing. Mr. Anderson. Mr. Montadoro have been
DTSD Webinars: taking a close look at our fields. The 322 field
DTSD Webinars: it's going to need to be done. I haven't one here for 2324. There might be some life to it that it can extend into 2,425, but again need to get it on our horizon for planning, either in the next year or 2
DTSD Webinars: yeah ballpark estimate.
DTSD Webinars: And these are just just big projects just to start talking through, and that as as a committee. What we decide that we really want to focus on that next year, and and where it stands.
DTSD Webinars: That's a crazy amount of money
DTSD Webinars: that's crazy. Always mind, Bob, on that turf.
DTSD Webinars: Yes, cost. Yeah, I I thought that was I I that again those are just number. That's just a a number. So
DTSD Webinars: once we identify that we're ready to go forward, and
DTSD Webinars: since it's
DTSD Webinars: field can't take any more. Then, you know, we just want to make sure that we're
DTSD Webinars: placing it in line for the repair prior to it a drop dead kind of date that it's. You know that a point that the like you know the life of the
DTSD Webinars: you know the that we need to identify it, and it's because again how the big projects take. It'll be a big kind of thing, so it'll we'll. We'll just need time, so we want to build
DTSD Webinars: that kind of time and planning into the schedule
DTSD Webinars: Granada. We really put this on hold, so that really kind of stopped. We had
DTSD Webinars: authorized again how many associates to look at the brickory pointing. We have not been in touch with him, so I assume when we do get a chance to talk to him, we can touch
DTSD Webinars: touch, base, and just find out if anything has been done on the you know, on the Granada, and I know with
DTSD Webinars: Penn State health. You know there's a there's a lot of questions now, too, as to how far do we go, and where is he at with it? And exactly what kind of commitment of funds because there was, and that was his number a year ago, probably looking at around a 1 million dollars to do this whole building.
DTSD Webinars: so I don't know if that's a good number any more. Again, we we really need to talk to him and see, and then come back and find out. Is is this something we want district funds to go towards?
Yeah.
DTSD Webinars: the only other section of this, then it is transportation. Buses are the one
DTSD Webinars: wheeled vehicle that can be bought out of Cap reserve. So we do buy our buses out of cap, so you'll see, and and it's a year behind. That's why we have 2 years. We've got the 2122, and 2223 on in this year's Cap plan. That was because buses
good.
DTSD Webinars: They were non-existent during Covid. So our order was in line, but we did not get those buses until October of this year. So we got our 6, 2122 buses, and October of 22. We're still in line up. Steve did it's about. They pull it down to 2 buses. We had originally asked for 6 this year.
DTSD Webinars: but with everything that's happening, you know. He felt he was comfortable going ahead with 2, and then putting 3 in the plan for next year
DTSD Webinars: Point, and what you'll see now down here at the bottom. I did update this, so we know we know what our capital reserve balance was, as of June of 22.
DTSD Webinars: Looking at all of this, they asked them that that's the estimated cost that will be out of pocket this year.
DTSD Webinars: We do
DTSD Webinars: pull in a 1 million dollars from Jen Fund. That's the plan. Transfer. It's part of the budget that will the Board authorize that transfer from Jen Fund to Cap Reserve for a 1 million dollars so pretty much it that almost kind of washes this out for for June of 23,
DTSD Webinars: and then, when we look at 2324
DTSD Webinars: again, some of those bigger dollars that we want to keep an eye on, and and what that impact to to do cap reserve because we really do want to make sure that we're taking care of our cap fund balance, because we will need that. That will be a big part of the bond process as we go forward and and everything. We'll talk about it in finance tonight. But the
DTSD Webinars: want to start that was a piece of finance that we want to start identifying
DTSD Webinars: an extra transfer every year into cap reserve specifically identified, to set aside for debt service as we get into bonds and and the build.
DTSD Webinars: or whatever construction project it looks like.
DTSD Webinars: This is Terry Singer. That's the 702,000 that would be just just earmarked. It's still a same kind of transfer. But I think just that. We know we're setting it aside specifically, for you know, to try and start building up that save that balance.
DTSD Webinars: That's pretty much all I've got. I know it's like, I said preliminary. I do need to talk to to Mr. A. All about. There's a technology upgrade that we infrastructure that we need to look at. So
DTSD Webinars: we'll we'll work a little more closely with our, you know, with
DTSD Webinars: r 2 and with Hamel just to try, and I get some of these numbers a little closer. We'll work with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Bong doro, really to nail down the
DTSD Webinars: more likely than not timing for the turf field.
DTSD Webinars: This is Terry Singer again. What the the bond rating
DTSD Webinars: process They look at the fund balance. They look at cap funds.
DTSD Webinars: I'm: Just curious what
DTSD Webinars: percentage of rating, if you can. You can characterize it that way is linked to the amount of cap reserve you have. I mean, how do they wait that out? I guess they look at it more
DTSD Webinars: a function of total available. They like to that. You have a healthy cap fund balance only because if something does happen.
DTSD Webinars: you're prepared to pay for, You know, significant repair that's not going to impact your General Fund Day to day operating balance. It's kind of how they look at it, but they they feel more comfortable, but they do look at it in totality, so they know that there's this. Funds basically are still district funds for for spending on things.
DTSD Webinars: So, even though it shows we have a a healthy.
DTSD Webinars: uncommitted balance is what it looks like to me and the cap fund. Well, it's important to keep it there
DTSD Webinars: for for our ratings process, especially if we're looking at borrowing money to build it it. It does make a difference, and it it
DTSD Webinars: it's. It's signals to the the the rating
DTSD Webinars: officer
DTSD Webinars: as they look at it and take it back to their committee that the district is committed to, and it's not. And actually, interestingly enough, with Cap Reserve, Those funds are automatically considered committed funds because once in Cap reserve you have to spend them for a build, which is why, you know, you will see schools.
DTSD Webinars: The Auditor General's report new sold schools that we're building up Jen Fund the or you know, Cap Reserve balances because they were looking to do a built. So it's specifically the kinds of things that we're the conversations we're having. They're They're doing it for very specific reasons that there's looming large projects, you know, that are that are coming down the pipe. The districts are trying to set themselves up, and
DTSD Webinars: to both be able to pay for and to, you know, have a good bond rating. So it kind of all goes hand in hand, because the better the bond rating, the less you pay back.
DTSD Webinars: Are there any additional questions on capital funds for miss for some.
DTSD Webinars: Okay. So Google with each other. So that is all for new business. So move on to the public comment section.
