I've been 107 00:13:03.890 --> 00:13:07.759 DTSD Webinars: coming for about 6 or 8 months. 108 00:13:07.830 --> 00:13:10.340 DTSD Webinars: primarily concerned with the 109 00:13:11.070 --> 00:13:14.510 DTSD Webinars: new elementary school Project 110 00:13:14.910 --> 00:13:20.019 DTSD Webinars: and I think that 111 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.550 DTSD Webinars: the new board should consider 112 00:13:22.650 --> 00:13:29.089 DTSD Webinars: using the existing buildings that we have here as part of that 113 00:13:29.590 --> 00:13:37.210 DTSD Webinars: project. The previous board didn't really address it, either, because they weren't going to be here or didn't want to. 114 00:13:37.230 --> 00:13:40.799 DTSD Webinars: But if the new board chooses not to 115 00:13:41.230 --> 00:13:53.810 DTSD Webinars: use the buildings. then having them sit here and decay is not an option either. So somehow, somewhere. the buildings have to be 116 00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:55.220 a 117 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.479 DTSD Webinars: something has to be done with the buildings. 118 00:13:57.530 --> 00:14:02.279 DTSD Webinars: and I don't think having them just continue to decay is an option either. 119 00:14:02.390 --> 00:14:05.530 DTSD Webinars: The board previous boards, decided not to 120 00:14:05.690 --> 00:14:10.300 maintain them, not to put aside money for depreciation whatever. 121 00:14:10.380 --> 00:14:12.270 DTSD Webinars: But I believe 122 00:14:12.570 --> 00:14:15.500 DTSD Webinars: that there's value here in these buildings. 123 00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:19.139 DTSD Webinars: and hopefully, the new board will see 124 00:14:19.260 --> 00:14:21.699 DTSD Webinars: that as well, or at least 125 00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:25.709 DTSD Webinars: research that a little bit more in depth, and if they're not, then 126 00:14:25.810 --> 00:14:28.909 give them or sell them to somebody that will 127 00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:34.400 DTSD Webinars: preserve them and use them in a productive manner. Thanks, thank you. Mr. 128 00:14:35.670 --> 00:14:38.019 DTSD Webinars: Is there anyone else who would like to speak of public comment. 129 00:14:41.940 --> 00:14:43.899 Mr. Ella, is there anyone online 130 00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:47.099 DTSD Webinars: at this time? There are no virtual hands raised? 131 00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:53.630 DTSD Webinars: Okay, then we will close public comment period. Is there anything else for the good of the order. 132 00:14:57.490 --> 00:15:17.380 DTSD Webinars: Okay, the the next public board of Directors meeting will be held on Monday, December eleventh, 2,023, beginning at 70'clock Pm.
