The meeting was called to order with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the approval of previous minutes and a series of staff reports on projects, facilities, aquatics, and upcoming events. No public comments were received.
I pledge an agency via the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands on individual liberty and justice for all. They were emailed to everyone. Has everyone had a chance to look at them? Any changes, additions, or corrections? May I have a motion to accept them? I make a motion to accept the minutes. Second. Roll call. Commissioner Romero, do you approve? Commissioner Herrera. Commissioner Herrera, do you approve the minutes? I thought she was on. Oh, yeah. Commissioner French Barger. Yes. Commissioner Leading. Yes. Commissioner Marsh. Yes. Commissioner. Can you hear me? Yeah. Do you approve the minutes? Connie, yes. Thank you. Thanks. Minutes for July 21st have been approved. Thank you. Next, we'll have the staff presentations, reports, and comments. First is projects update from Diane Sony, Projects Division Manager. Good evening, Ms. Chairwoman, Commissioners. I'm not telling you anything new. This is going to be very similar to our last two updates. We're just still going through the process of hopefully wrapping up campus park phase two. We've had some warranty type items and some changes as we saw some of the original design elements as it related to drainage and a couple of ADA ramp sections that we've needed to go back and modify. And so we're in the process of doing the change orders for that and all of the rest of our procurement and actual implementation of that. So my hope is that by the end of September we will see everything complete and in campus park phase two will be officially done. Pretty extensive. They have really deep footers and they're pretty robust, so that'll be interesting. Once those get put in, they'll be able to do much more quickly on the site. And our hope is to still have it substantially complete by the end of this calendar year. That means that it should be at final completion within 45 calendar days of substantial completion. So certainly by February of 2026, hopefully everything will be done, open, and ready for the public to use. But that takes even more time, and so we're going to see if there's an existing larger contract that we can piggyback off of and utilize that previous IFB that other agencies have done. We're looking at what's called an omnia contract, also a state contract at this time, possibly CES, but because it's state funds, there's a little bit of problems with that. So probably a different or agency. This was the second of our 2024 bond money. So the first project that we completed were the basketball courts at Star Heights.
