Motion to accept the January twenty-ninth, twenty twenty-six minutes.

Second?

Second.

Any objections?

Any abstentions.

Hearing none, that item is approved.

Report secretary.

Yes, good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

So some good news to report.

As you may have heard, we have approval from the Office of State Controller in the State Education Department for our phase three comprehensive plan.

The letter from the Comptroller is in your packet.

But we're all we're all set.

And um that allows us to approve.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, that's uh staff and Turner did a great job on getting all that done pursuing the state agencies.

So I'm glad to hear that.

Thank you.

And uh that allows us today to move on and approve several architect contracts now that we have our approved comprehensive plan and our RFP process for the construction management services is underway.

The RFP is out there, and uh I believe it's been extended by a week, but we're we're moving to collect uh responses and uh when they're in an RFP committee will be set up similar to the architect RFP process.

Do you know what the deadline is?

Oh, I that asked the program.

March, okay.

Thank you.

And uh finally, uh last evening I sent out after some technical difficulties, uh our draft project labor agreement feasibility study.

Uh this is the document that under state law we are required to uh conduct and and approve if we choose to go on and and enter into a PLA.

It it doesn't mean it's the first step in the process.

So this study just ratifies that there's economic savings if we choose to enter into a PLA.

Okay.

So the document is um as with any of these things extensive.

So what I wanted to do is send it out a month ahead of our next March meeting.

Okay.

And if there's any questions, I'd be glad to fill them individually by email.

Or uh uh depending how we feel, we can have this um a meeting in March with our consultant at the March board meeting.

Okay.

Um so after folks look at it, maybe we can do some communication and see how we feel about it.

I'm sorry, that came last night.

Yes.

Okay.

Sorry, it didn't go out earlier.

No, no, probably.

Because of the city firewall, there were technical difficulties transmitting it.

Such a large document, but um in any case, it it is similar to what we did in phase one and phase two.

But um in any case, it it is similar to what we did in phase one and phase two.

Actually, it's the same consultant, so uh there's some consistency there.

Perfect.

But the the program manager and staff has reviewed it as well.

That completes my report.

Do I need a motion to accept your report?

Uh no, I just usually make an oral presentation and then that's it.

Yeah.

Uh report of the program manager.

Morning.

Hello.

Uh as Joe mentioned, we got comprehensive plan approval, which is great.

Uh unfortunately it was about six weeks later than what we had initially anticipated.

Uh we are gonna seek opportunities to advance design, trying to recoup that time because we want to try and get to construction in summer of 27.

And that might delay that a little bit, but when design teams are on board, we're gonna look to gain that time back.

Right.

Um architects, as Joe mentioned, um, hopefully we send out contracts today and get them back, and we have kickoff meetings scheduled them uh starting as early as next week and the following week.

Um we also have public input sessions scheduled at each of the three buildings, and those are gonna start roughly the week of uh March 9th.

Uh CM procurement.

As Joe mentioned, we extended the due date by a week to uh March 3rd or March 10th, sorry.

Um anticipate um meeting with the selection community committee later that week to review the CM proposal and then schedule uh CM interviews later in March.

Uh continue to meet with SED on a monthly basis.

Nothing major to report out on that.

And as Joe mentioned, the PLA feasibility study was issued.

Any questions?

Any questions.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Several resolutions today.

See that I can begin if you'd like um thank you.

So resolution number three is an authorization to designate uh board members to sign financial documents um relative to our when we go to request payment from the MNT bank, the JSCB trustee to pay the bills that you approve every month.

Okay.

Um it's actually this document here.

You might have seen it floating around before.

And so uh basically this resolution will update the authorized board members to reflect the new new members since January.

Okay.

And uh I've expanded it in the past we had three or four board members, but I see no reason not to authorize all board members.

We just need two out of the seven.

So that way, like today there's a couple of members absent.

We don't want to be in a situation where we don't have someone to sign.

Sure.

So this will allow us to sign.

Um because we're gonna sign that and you're gonna that includes the um membership of the JSEB.

Um the council president has inquired about her membership on this.

Yes, I spoke to her yesterday.

Okay.

And uh so the under phase one, the council president, certain and a couple of members were automatically on JSCB.

Uh Mayor Minor had that changed for phase two, so that going forward with phase two, uh the mayor has three appointees.

Okay, whomever you you choose, and the superintendent has two appointees.

Okay.

Okay.

So uh the council president is no longer an automatic member, and I explained that to her, and she was fine with that.

Okay, thank you.

You want to I just wanted to make sure that was clear before we move on this resolution.

It's uh good point to clarify.

Okay.

Thank you.

Uh entertain a motion.

Yes, for a number three.

For number resolution number two.

Resolution number three.

So moved.

Thank you.

Uh now we get to the fun ones.

Exciting to see our first group of architects for phase three.

Starting with resolution number five will be authorizing contract with Kid Kidney architects for the design and inspection services needed for the Webster Elementary School Project.

Motion for resolution number five.

Second.

Second.

This has to be paid all up front.

Oh no, it's um the architects and professionals bill on a monthly basis as they incur the cost, but but that's a good question.

But but the contract can't exceed that two million and and if and if there needs to be an adjustment, it would come back to this body.

Yes, and then that's somewhat common depending on this how the scope of the project changes over time.

But this will be a good starting point.

I have a motion and a second.

Any objections?

Any abstentions?

Hearing none, that is approved.

Thank you.

Uh resolution number six.

Um, and these contracts are of course selected through the RFP committee.

Um again authorize Kidney to do the design work on the Seymour due language project.

Motion, entertain a motion.

Second.

Second.

Any objections?

Any abstentions?

Hearing none, that item is moved.

Thank you.

Entertain a motion.

Okay.

Second.

Any abstentions?

Any objections?
