I'm gonna go ahead and call the meeting to order.

I will note that all board members are present with the exception of Chuck Maryhue, who is excused.

I want to welcome our new superintendent.

Pam Odam to uh JSCB.

That's your first time here, but first time as superintendent, so happy to have you.

Um and Council President Hudson, nice to have you joining us as well.

Thank you.

Um we will start with the October 30th, 2025 minutes, and I'll entertain a motion to accept those minutes.

So moved.

Any discussion.

All in favor?

Aye.

Opposed.

Carried.

All right.

Next up we will turn to our secretary for this report.

Morning, Joe.

Yes, good morning, Mayor and fellow board members.

Um so just a a few items.

The milestones coming up.

We're still waiting for the Office of State Comptroller and the SED to sign off on the comprehensive plan.

So those would be major milestones when they occur.

Uh JSCB staff and Turner are progressing with the interviews for the applicants who uh responded to the architect RFPs.

Those interviews are scheduled in the next couple of weeks.

So that's that's on track.

Uh likewise JSCB staff and Turner will be meeting with our PLA consultant to dive into the feasibility study.

Uh as I mentioned at the last meeting, we just want to make sure it's tailored specifically to phase three, so that's it's not just a generic doc document.

Sure.

And then finally, uh for the next meeting, I'll be working on our 2026 board meeting schedule.

Our general practice has been to meet on the fourth Thursday of the month, except for h holidays like this month that throw that off.

Uh so that'll if general would be the fourth or some cases the third Thursday.

And uh we've we've gone to the ten o'clock time because the board of um Limb, our preservation board is typically in here before us.

Then in the spring, the um board of assessment review.

So we have to work around those other entities.

Do we have we have a December meeting on the schedule?

Okay, good.

Very good.

Any questions for Joe?

Okay, we'll move right along to our program manager report.

Um hi, I'm Scott Barry.

Uh on behalf of Turner.

Um yeah, I think Joe covered a lot of what's in the re uh report.

Uh but uh yeah, the uh comprehensive plan's been submitted.

Uh we've been communicating regularly with SED and expect uh hear back from them in the next week or so.

And uh obviously the state controller is uh still reviewing the report.

Um the RFP was issued for the uh the AEs, and uh we uh there are multiple interviews lined up.

Um the RFP was issued for the uh the AEs, and uh we uh there are multiple interviews lined up uh and uh we expect to have that uh process uh wrapped up in December for a first quarter uh approval uh uh the RFP for CM services is uh under review.

We're working on it right now.

We will have that uh published for uh everyone's review before the end of the year uh in anticipation of that process really happening after the first of the new year.

And uh our uh weekly meetings with SED, as I said, were an ongoing, and uh we're making uh some progress there with the various last-minute tasks.

And uh finally, yeah, the PLA study is uh underway in various uh forms of uh discussions, and we expect to have that uh probably wrapped up in the first quarter as well.

Um that's really the long and short of it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Any questions for Scott?

That's the question.

Um the schedule, so the schedule is predicated on the uh plan being approved in September, and hopefully it will be um you'll get the feedback next week.

If there are delays in um them getting the feedback back to us, I know that we were held up for almost a year based on delay um previously.

Is there a plan to kind of nudge them along so we can make sure the information that we get what we need to have the approval by the end of the summer?

Uh yeah, there's there's two things that we've we've done in this round.
