All right.

Thank you, everybody.

This is the McDonough School Building Committee special meeting on June 9th and a call to meeting to order at 5:32.

First order of business is for public session.

Are there any members of the public wishing to speak?

Any members of the public wishing to speak on items on the agenda.

All right.

Going once going twice.

Close the public session.

And our next item is approval of the minutes from the April 21st, 2026 meeting.

Do I have a motion?

Motion to approve.

All right.

Thank you, Harold.

Do I have a second?

Second.

All right.

Thank you, Lauren.

All right.

And then that will bring us into our new business.

We need a vote.

Oh, my apologies.

You are correct.

I didn't think anyone would vote against the minutes, but all right.

All in favor of approving the minutes.

Aye.

All right.

Any opposed?

Any abstains?

None.

Okay.

Now the minutes are approved.

And now we can roll into new business.

Good thing we have staff present.

Thank you, staff, as always.

So as you all may have uh seen Steven's email this afternoon, is that we have a couple uh folks who have responded to our RFP for construction manager, and uh we'll be needing to set up a subcommittee to go through those um uh responses and to kind of uh review the proposals, start to put together scoring for them, and to also conduct interviews on the folks that we think are are good fit.

So I um will obviously be uh looking for our council members to to join that subcommittee if they're available.

I'm probably gonna uh need to meet during a daytime hour.

Uh we may be able to do it half and half, so maybe something towards the end of the day.

Uh, you know, a three-four o'clock with some interviews in the evening or discussion in the evening.

So um consider your own schedule at the same time as your your willingness to volunteer.

I'm sure we'll find we'll find something that works, obviously.

Um, I'd also like to uh ask people who have been vocal this far to consider volunteering.

I know that we have a couple folks who who ask questions and and are good at keeping the group moving and and keeping our new business moving.

So I hope that um we'll see some of your names on that volunteer list as well.

So um not uh not uh forgetting that we'll also like to have um uh Marco if you're uh willing to join on that subcommittee and uh and a member of of TKS to T SKP to join us.

So Randall, uh I hope I get to see your hand raised.

Um so with that, I think I will kick it over to staff to add anything that I may have missed.

And uh if not, um we can ask uh questions and and move into our discussion.

Yeah, so we uh spoke with Donna from purchasing today.

Um Beam in middle school when they did their construction manager proposal.

There was about eight members uh of the subcommittee that took part of uh doing the interviews and recommending um a company to the uh building committee here.

Um so what uh the uh chair Kelly Sweeney has just suggested is that uh if I stand correct, if I if I'm correct, it's potentially Kelly Sweeney, uh Schnafel and uh Linda Salafia, uh Marco Marco and then Randall, that would be five.

Um so the you know if you followed Beaman, that would be three more members needed for the process.

Uh, but you guys can really decide at how many you want there.

I don't think you want a full committee because it's hard to get quorum.

Um it's also hard to meet in the middle of the day.

Um we expect that there will be a subcommittee meeting that meets very shortly to review questions.

Um make some decisions whether or not they want to share those questions with the um uh with the three potential companies, um, and then also work with purchasing to set up a day where you'll do all three interviews, um, and then either meet right afterwards to either make a decision or set up a meeting to meet uh soon after that.
