SRSD Facilities/Finance Sub Committee Meeting 9-16-26

Video

I will call the uh meeting of the
Sanborn Regional School District Finance
and Facilities Committees uh to order.
Rising for the pledge.
>> Pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.
Motion on the minutes.
Uh motion to approve the minutes from
the previous facility meeting as
written.
>> Second.
>> Any discussion?
All
>> in favor?
Check.
>> Go.
>> Um new business. Daniel would like to
talk about the New Hampshire dees
sanitary inspection at Memorial School.
>> Yes. So, uh, we we do sanitary
inspections with Newampshire after DPS
every two years and they look at our
water systems, septic systems, or
anything else. It was discovered that
the wellhead at um the SE coast
building, which also feeds memorial,
um had a split in the conduit that goes
to the wellhead. So, we're going to have
to dig probably about 4 ft down around
the well head and replace that
electrical conduit going into the well.
That was number one issue. Uh, number
two issue is that we have a large U
pressure tank in Memorial School for our
freshwater supply and the tank is over
20 years old and they think the bladder
has failed in it. It's an old style
tank. They may be able to replace the
bladder, but we might have to replace
the tank. And tanks I know in generally
go for about $15,000 just for the tank
itself.
>> And uh I I don't know. It's probably 7
foot tall and about this round.
So, it's a pretty sizable tank. Uh I
don't know how many gallons it is. I I
took a picture of the plate. I could
tell you shortly, but we're going to
have to look at that pressure tank. And
then there's an abandoned pressure tank
about the same size that um has plumbing
going in and out of it, but the valves
are shut. And New Hampshire dees wants
us to remove that tank and cap that line
so there's nothing to tie into that old
tank. Um they're going to get their
survey together for me. Once I receive
it, I have 30 days to [clears throat]
fix everything that they're requesting.
Um, so with that being said, I've
[clears throat] already called Eping
Well, who's one of our contractors, does
a lot of our work and they're going to
take a look at it and hopefully get a
price for me together soon. Um, but it
may be one of those things that because
of the short duration here, we might
just have to contract Eping Weld to just
do the work since we have 30 days to fix
it. Now, we can get extensions. That's
not an issue. uh the lady at dees I know
quite well and she's like you know as
long as I know you're working on it and
getting towards it we can give you an
extension.
So um but everything else at at Bakey
and and Seagos building and pass with
flying color so we're good there. It's
just those three items that we have to
address. Um, and I'm just giving you a
heads up because it may be probably
close to $20,000, $25,000 to do all
this.
>> Then we should definitely file the
policy and we should get an extension
just so we can work on local courts.
That's
>> Yeah. So, um, and that's extreme. If
that bladder can't be replaced or
whatever, if it can be replaced, then
obviously the cost goes down. So,
>> uh, so that is the, um, results of the
sanitation uh, inspection we had. So, I
just want to pass that on publicly,
letting everybody know what's going on.
>> Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Um,
fuel, propane, and electricity pricing.
>> Go ahead.
>> Okay. So, um, as far as, uh,
>> as far as propane, we locked in in in,
um,
>> I think it was July, we locked in in on
propane during that whole transition of
putting the propane tanks underground.
So, we got a pretty good rate on the
propane.
>> Cheaper than last year.
>> Cheaper than last year. Yeah. Energy,
we're locked in for another year. We did
a two-year contract, so we're locked in
there. We are in the process of
purchasing oil now. Um, as of the 10th,
uh, heating oil was at4947
a gallon and it keeps going up every
day.
>> Yeah, we keep putting it off thinking
>> No, I I I'm at
what you get.
>> Yeah.
>> $4.9.
>> Yeah, I was going to say
>> the number is going to be six.
>> Yeah, I got 594 yesterday.
>> Yeah. Well, but we're buying 75,000
gallons worth [clears throat] keep up.
Well, it's and see, we didn't buy it
earlier because we thought things would
slow down in the Middle East, but
they're not.
>> It's going to get worse.
>> It's going to get worse. So, there there
are a couple options where we can get
into some type of variable pricing
um for a temporary period of time. So,
in other words, we'll pay a high rate
for now for a couple months until the
market kind of drops on it hopefully and
then we can lock into a cost then at
that point if we want to.
>> Although the variable pricing that day
was 4
>> 456,
>> right? Yeah,
>> right. That's what I'm saying. So,
>> are you at what now?
>> 4 what?
>> No, we're at 4 461
>> last year. I can't remember. Okay.
>> And that'll last for how long?
[clears throat]
>> Well, it'll be a one-year contract.
>> No, I mean this 75,000 gallons. That's
>> Oh, well, that should take us until
spring. It should take us through the
year.
>> That's the yearly. Good.
>> Yeah.
>> And uh when when we purchase oil, uh
that's that's what we use. Uh, but we
also let Kingston and Newton purchase
oil with us, so they get it at the same
rate we do, which is kind of a which is
a win-win for the community because
we're buying so much of it, they get the
discounted rate also. So, but um so I
just want to put that out there that
we're shopping. We're going to continue
to shop tomorrow and early next week,
but with these prices going up and down,
we're kind of exploring the option of
variable pricing rather than locking in
on something for a year just to kind of
see what the market does to see if it
cools down in the next couple months. Of
course, I said that a couple months ago
and look where we're at. I know
>> it's still, you know, killing us. So,
>> it's it's a trip tricky commodity to
purchase right now. So, um, but I just
kind of wanted to fill you in on that.
Marie, do you have anything to add to
that?
>> No. No. Um, the electric pricing though,
it was a three-year lock in.
>> It was three year.
>> Yeah.
>> November 27th.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> So, we have one more year.
>> That's just on the supply side, right?
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Nice.
>> So, unless we go solar and then we can
kind of hedge that a little bit.
>> Yeah, that's a good idea. Um, on the oil
side, put I mean, you're handled the
right way. All of our like we do lots of
we get all the analysts giving us all
their energy price predictions.
Everything that we're seeing is six
minimum at bulk purchases for the next 9
to 12 month period for whatever that's
worth. So
>> for fuel
>> for fuel cost for oil. Yeah. Um,
>> so I mean
>> I just I don't think because you're
talking a 3 to six month window, I would
not expect things to come back to
reality in that time frame,
>> especially coming into the winter and
holiday seasons and everything else too.
So,
>> and the big utility buyers have not made
their moves yet
>> because they're waiting
>> because they're waiting and they have
>> significantly more pricing power than
they also have [clears throat]
legislative abilities to take. So, I
mean, if you can lock in for the year
anywhere below five, that's going to be
a win for the district. And tomorrow, I
mean, you're
>> I'll take that into consideration. I
mean, if you guys are comfortable with
locking in, if we're under five, then
I'll get pricing tomorrow on it uh from
a couple different vendors. And if if
you're willing to do that, if it's below
five tomorrow, I can lock in.
>> I think I'm fine.
>> I think I'm okay with that.
>> Okay. Maybe get a few [clears throat]
maybe like 900 extra gallons.
>> Just throw double for me. Siphon off.
>> I'll pay my portion.
[clears throat]
>> Um All right. Well, with that um with
that thought then we we'll check out
prices tomorrow. I'll call Palmer and
>> and that's clear. That's like not
James's opinion. That's like
>> No. No. Well, pretty much consistent,
you know, and if you knew sitting here,
you'd be worth millions, [laughter]
>> you know. But uh
>> yeah, it's it's a tricky game right now.
Like I said, we were looking at it in
July thinking, ah, maybe this stuff will
break in the Middle East and it just it
hasn't. So, here we are. So,
>> and they've been the bre best pricing,
too. We've had the same company for
years.
>> Yeah, we we we bounced between Irving
and Palmer Oil, and they have both been
the most competitive. Irving more so
because they uh they manufacture all
that stuff in Canada and ship it down
this way. So, Um I don't know if they're
hitting tariffs or anything on that.
>> They surely are. It hasn't hit the
pricing yet, but that's going to be part
of it.
>> Yeah, but typically Irving is a few
cents cheaper than Palmer typically.
>> So
>> anybody listening, you should buy your
oil and fuel now.
>> Yeah. Lock into a price.
>> Is that your personal That's your
personal care.
>> That is
>> Yeah. Buy your firewood now, too. Then
that's going also.
>> Mhm.
>> Okay. Okay, that's all I had as far as
the oil.
>> Thanks.
>> Okay. Um, so the current inflation rate
is still the same as it was in July.
They haven't changed it. Um, which is
4.1. The incumbrances were at 8.6
million um through September 11th. The
operating cash as of September 11th is
6,38468.95.
And then I did update, [clears throat]
excuse me, I'm sorry, I did update the
trust fund balances.
So those are all linked here
and everything was rolled from the prior
year to this year. And you can see the
addition in the special education
expendable trust that we moved the
108712. I don't know if you guys are
looking at it or not.
>> So our goal before the election last
year was to get that account up to
750,000. Well, we're now at 766 with all
of the earned interest as well.
>> Mhm.
>> Um and then the we transferred in the
capital improvement account, same um
thing. We wanted to get at least 750,000
or up to 7638820.
And the unanticipated educational
expense capital reserve fund, it has
298,17639.
And the utility cost unanticipated
is at $20281,024
in the facility use revolving.
Um you can see we had a expenditure
which is the um books of the consumables
and everything that was we were given
permission last year to spend the end of
year funds out of the facility revolving
of the 158.
And then um the prior year you can see
the 81,000 for the Chromebooks that was
um also purchased which leaves the end u
at the end of the period 282,19721s
in facility use revolving with a total
because I updated the contingency for
this new fiscal year since we voted not
2.5% but 1.75
um of 489,269.
So, we have a total in reserves of 2.8
$1,1152.
So,
>> maybe our 22,000 of unanticipated
utility costs may have to get
[clears throat]
>> I would expect we will be dipping this
year.
>> Um, and I have no budget adjustments in
the expenditure and revenue reports. um
are on the drive
and
>> financial transparency I think was Adam.
>> That was Adam, right?
>> Yeah. [clears throat and cough]
>> Okay.
>> And then Dan had um Oh, did we want to
talk about the sees?
Did you add a column or No, you changed
the rates. You changed the rates. We
didn't have to add
>> I just changed that one rate that we
agreed to go back.
>> So, we did do that
>> and Adam has an update on it for the
board tonight. Oh, okay. Good.
>> We make suggestions to the board.
>> Um, I don't have the full
>> download
>> download enough to
um I think I think what Adam mentioned
was that there is he had a conversation
and he has some clarity about what they
would like to, you know, options they
would be comfortable giving us.
>> Yeah.
>> Based on what we asked, but I don't know
what those are yet. So, I imagine we'll
hear him tonight and we can discuss or
vote or whatever.
>> Okay. [clears throat]
>> And then Dan was working on separating
the capital improvement into
maintenance.
>> I forward to you, gentlemen.
>> Yeah, I saw that. That's nice. Thank
you.
>> I don't know if it's something you agree
to or if you studied it at all or
>> um
it was just kind of my idea how we
should break it out
and I'm definitely open to suggestions.
I have a question. Um
>> I see nothing on here at all for sees.
So is that is that based off the last
meeting when you said that we won't be
spending any money during the first
three years?
>> I don't know what our status is,
>> but as of right now there's nothing
known. So we can we can say confidently
for three years there's no known
expenses.
>> Not that I know. We've got a decent ro
we got a decent boiler system there.
over this. Oh,
>> I have been sorry. I have gotten
numerous questions about the drywall
that's sticking out in front of that
door in sees. You know that
>> is sticking out.
>> There's like a wall. There's like a
doorway. Big doorway.
>> I think it's in the back and it's been
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. narrowed.
>> Yeah.
>> Right. Where what is the purpose of
that? Because Chimberg is going to put a
door in that opening so when they move
their construction office in there, they
can shut that door while the kids are
playing basketball and then there's less
intermixing between Chimberg's employees
and our students.
>> Thank you.
>> So that's why it's still going to be
>> that was something that's still going to
be a three-foot ADA compliant door.
>> It still meets ADA compliant because
it's no more narrower than the exit door
going out.
>> Perfect.
>> So
>> now I can tell people what they're
asking.
>> Yeah, that's that's the purpose. They're
eventually going to put a door in there.
Okay. I think we requested that, right?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah. Since since they were going to be
moving in.
>> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Yes. And they should be starting next
week over there. So, we'll see what
happens.
>> Okay.
>> It was It was a good meeting today. We
learned a lot. So,
>> good.
Um,
>> yeah. And if I'm looking at your list, I
mean, I didn't really have any uh
any major questions.
>> No. Something just so we're all on the
same playbook. I think it it would be
helpful to make sure that we have the
same understanding of the definition
>> definition of a CIP versus maint
>> it is not and I was a little surprised
at some of the items and just where they
landed but then I maybe it's just the
definitions we're using so
>> or or or my definition of where I think
it should be.
>> Yeah. So, you want to go through them?
>> There's not a lot of items, right? Got
>> the way I broke it out is is in in my
opinion, this is just my opinion, a
capital improvement plan is is just that
things to improve
>> our facilities, but something that in my
opinion is not mandatory that we have to
do. You know, it's a nice improvement to
the facilities. And some people will
argue like the playgrounds. To me,
playgrounds are nice to have, but it's
not something we have to have to keep
the lights on in the schools. So, I kind
of landed that there in the capital
improvement plan rather than a facility
management plan.
>> Is that kind of like I I think about
that is defensible, but like I I think
about it in actually like how you plan
capital, right? So, you know, there's
different dollar definitions and like
accounting methodology and in general, I
think about a capital improvement
as something that adds fiscal value to
some property.
>> Okay?
>> Whereas a maintenance thing maintains,
>> right? So in this case, if you already
have a playground equipment,
maintaining or or replacing would keep
things even versus we don't have any
playground equipment.
>> Adding a playground somewhere.
>> Exactly. And that also but but it can
get a little more complicated when you
think about you know things like a roof
right now right it's
>> if if and this is not [clears throat]
our plan but let's imagine this is just
like a regular building right and then
we wanted to sell or we're looking to
get the building [snorts] valued right
from a real estate value that roof and
HVAC would be a liability right so that
would come off of the value of the
current building today versus if we
replaced all these things and it was
brand new and shiny and it worked then
it would be an additive value to the
actual building structure. So like the
capital improvement is the things that
justify capital return. Um I think I
said I know I said two weeks ago that I
would dig up the definition that I
proposed like seven months ago and I did
not do that so I apologize
>> but um
>> yeah and I'm willing to
>> I think we should think about it that
way. Well, that'll take a hatchet to it,
I guess.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Um, and that'll help us as
we go forward with the kind of longer
term facilities plan. And then you talk
about what's bonding, what's budget,
what's maintenance from the budget
committee's perspective. That'll just
help us allocate dollars appropriately
and it'll become increasingly important.
And Pam has highlighted this as a
potential challenge depending on what
happens in conquered as if we get tax
caps and stuff. This stuff becomes like
really important and it will be very
useful I think for the school district
to have like a common definition of the
two things instead of our
interpretation. Mhm.
>> It seems like no one is going to dispute
what's on a facility's maintenance plan
unless
to your point about a roof. If we do a
like for like replacement, then it
doesn't add any necessarily any value or
something. What if we decide to do
something
>> like the rooftop units and add something
>> like the rooftop units and or even if it
was let's say we had a regular tar roof
and you're like we need to replace that
roof and we could do it in a way that
doesn't add value for X dollars or we
could do it in a way that adds a lot of
value for more money. it might shift the
columns, right? It might not be a
capital improvement. We decide to put
metal or we decide to do whatever, you
know? So, I could see things jumping
from facilities maintenance to capital
improvement if we have reason,
>> which is why Yes. And I think that
further justifies like every time we
talk about this, let's make sure that
we're flashing the definitions of each
so there's no confusion for any of the
stakeholder.
>> Like when when I look at bathroom sinks,
I would just think that's maintenance,
but it's under capital improvement.
>> Yeah. Because in my opinion is they're
functioning and they operate and we
don't have to shut the doors because
they're not functioning. So it's more of
a wouldn't it be nice to replace those
things. So it's more of a capital
improvement in my opinion.
>> For me, I'd say that they shouldn't be
on the list at all at that point.
They're working. You know what I mean?
>> Yeah. But the maintenance is is getting
expensive because the kids keep tearing
them out. That's why it's on the capital
improvement plan.
>> Damn kids. All right. Yeah. So,
um, so it would be nice to replace the
sinks in the bathrooms to a stainless
steel type, uh, you know, trough sink or
whatever that's a little bit
[clears throat] more durable.
>> Um,
because our fear is, you know, a kid's a
sink, what they do is they break the
water supply. Now I got a flood going.
>> So that's why it's a capital
improvement. That that's kind of the way
I saw it.
[clears throat]
>> But I, you know, we can definitely, like
I said, take a hatchet to this. That's
why I put it together. And we can
definitely
>> That's a draft.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
>> I like I like how things have a number.
>> Y
>> to get the funding source. This is well
organized.
>> Well, and I I purposely numbered them.
Um
that way we're not there's no confusion.
Hey, we're going to do CIP number eight
or whatever. Yeah, we can talk about
that without
>> and it helps us track it and uh if we
use that as a common naming convention,
we can no matter what document is in,
it's easy to search for, it's filter,
you could filter for it,
>> right?
>> And if we move things to another uh
area, you know, into an FMP, then we can
rename it obviously and given another
number,
>> right?
>> But I figure school estimated cost if I
had it priority, I did one through four.
I don't know if
if that's general enough.
And then funding I just you know was
kind of
>> when I see severe I think like that that
means like today we should define those
too.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And my my
and that's fine when I when I say severe
that we have we should be doing it
because if it breaks down we're kind of
we're lost in the ocean at that point if
we don't have heat or whatever. That
that would be the
>> the um
>> unit.
>> Yeah. Or just like any
>> the good definition for that would be
>> I see the dugouts.
>> That's severe. Is that because if I
remember you said they were built by
>> Well, it's because and they're getting
ready to collapse and they're blowing
over and I don't want my kids in the
dugout. So,
>> that's [clears throat] I mean that's a
life safety issue there.
>> Yeah. If you got a safety issue, it
would impede the operation the general
operation.
>> So, if it's a safety issue, are kids in
it today? Yeah, I'm wait.
>> Should they be
>> Well, here's the question. If I tear
them down now, um,
>> what are they using for dugouts?
Field and title.
>> Just said though,
>> dugouts. Isn't it not baseball season?
>> That's
>> It's not.
>> So, they're not being used.
>> I can I can tear them out, but are we
prepared to spend the money to replace
them before season starts?
>> It doesn't matter.
>> Okay. All right. What what I just heard
is they're falling down. They're blowing
over and they're not safe,
>> right?
>> Yeah. So, they shouldn't be there.
>> Okay.
>> Get rid of them
>> and then we're going to have to do them
in my opinion. Like, we're going to have
to have something.
>> Oh, exactly. Like I said, when you deal
with title issues with women's softball
and why don't they have a dugout and the
boys do then?
>> Yeah. If they're not safe, get rid of
them. Wait, the women the softball does
have a dugout.
>> They have dugouts. Those are the ones
that have failed. The women's softball
field.
>> Oh, okay.
>> So,
>> yeah, they got to have them.
So,
>> I mean, that's that's a safety issue
during the game, too. It's not just a
safety issue like it's not like it's
nice to have.
>> Yeah. And and I would invite you guys to
go down and look at them before I tear
them down. Give me your might interim
step to take your point, but there might
be like an interim step and saying we're
going to close these dugouts, you know,
put a sign or whatever, some tape up
there while we figure out the solution.
>> A sign that reduces liability.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I mean, I can get some orange
fencing and wrap them.
>> That doesn't work. I'm just saying like
you can put all the tape up you want,
but if it's there, it's g somebody's
gonna go in there and somebody's gonna
get hurt.
God willing it doesn't happen and
somebody's going to sue the school
district,
>> right?
>> Okay. I'm going off of what you told me.
I trust what you're telling me. We can
walk down there. We can adjourn right
now and do a walk down there and look.
But if if you tell [clears throat] me
they're blowing over, they shouldn't be
there.
>> Right.
>> Because forget once when school not in
session like kids going in there.
>> Oh, kids are down there doing
Yeah. If it's a potential hazard, it
shouldn't be there.
>> Yeah.
>> Softball dugouts or is it the baseball?
>> Well, they all need
>> to But it's the women's softball that is
the most.
>> Okay.
>> But the cost
>> So, do we want to go look at that?
>> I think we should look at it. I mean,
assuming that we don't have any other,
>> but the cost that's there is that the
baseball and softball combined.
>> Uh, that's 100,000.
>> That was Yeah, that's combined with all
the all 100,000 is combined. All of
them. I could probably do each dugout
for about $20,000 each dugout.
>> That seems I don't want to question your
expertise at all, but that seems
incredibly high.
>> Well, you need a
>> Well, this is the deal. We got to tear
the slab up.
And then the the athletic director and I
have agreed that when we do the new
dugouts, we're just going with chain
link around and a metal roof. And then
what they're going to do is get the
fabric to put on the chain link to wrap
the dugouts during season. That way,
it's zero maintenance whatsoever.
So,
>> and you have to rip the slab up.
>> Yeah, the slabs are like this.
>> No, we should we should [clears throat]
>> Oh, you want to? Let's run down.
>> There's a There's a game over here.
>> I would love for you to see them. I
really
>> I don't see anything else on here that's
making me
>> Is there anything else that's number
one?
>> Chase Fieldhouse
>> phone system. Oh, Bakey and Memorial
Phones is a number one.
>> I thought we already Didn't we already
talk about that? I thought you were
getting
>> the phone systems. Yeah,
>> that's not me. That's Gordon.
>> They talked about it a couple years ago.
>> You're talking about the day fire alarm,
>> right?
>> Yeah. Not communic.
>> This is actual faux [clears throat]
lines at Bake and Memorial and they had
talked about them a few years back and
it's been on the CIP and nothing's ever
happened. But constantly Bakey and
Memorial are losing their phones and
it's terrible.
>> That is a number one.
>> Yeah. And it is a safety concern if you
can't call in or call out.
But definitely, you know, take a red pen
to this. You guys digest it. Look at it.
Definitely.
>> I mean, this is pretty much everything
that's on my whiteboard in my office,
plus some other things. And
>> I saw you move the whiteboard.
>> It felt like the
>> It's closer to my office.
>> Is there's only one [clears throat]
there's only one tab here.
It felt like the CIP before the other
document that we were working with was
much more extensive. But was that just
the way because of the way it was
formatted
>> and the description?
>> I didn't put a whole lot of description
in these. Yeah, I
>> the same number. It's the same stuff.
>> Well, it's actually there's more on this
because I added more CIP like the
bathroom sinks and
>> we all take a stab at it, right? Clean
down next meeting and come back with
your thoughts on where things should go.
>> Yeah. [laughter]
>> It's a live document, right? Yes. Do we
all have access to it? Yeah. So, please
go in and
>> I will just camp at the same time.
>> Same cell at the same time.
>> Oh, is that what it is?
>> Yeah, we can all get around it. Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Just get in the same cell. And I
will share with this committee
[clears throat]
and maybe even well I'll share a
separate
definition of capital improvement versus
facility maintenance which is defensible
with some accounting stuff and other
public entities and I'll site all the
sources and I'll put together like a
comparison table so that way everybody
we're going to do a lot of work on this.
>> Yeah. And work on the grading scale, you
know, if you want some Yeah.
>> You know, if you want to add a number
five to it or
>> Well, I mean like the the grading scales
that's I feel like that's you, you know,
just like just like Rick, you know, if
you say, "Hey, we got to do these
things." Okay. Um, I'm more concerned
about how do we pay for it and is it in
the right box?
>> Okay,
>> let's just check.
>> Yeah, let's check that. Rick, when Rick
said we can't be at the same time, I
thought he was talking about the
technical limitations of Excel. He was
talking about having a meeting, an an
unannounced meeting.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> That's fine. Hey, guess what? I'll be
happy to wait until you guys are done.
>> Yeah, [cough]
>> how about that?
>> I'll [snorts] check.
>> You just let me know.
>> All right, my turn.
>> Um,
sorry.
>> Pam, did you uh for public comment, did
you have anything?
>> I heard nothing about this tab tax cap
in the ports. We'll know by Friday.
>> Okay.
>> And If it's approved, we should have a
hearing on it before the election.
>> Um, and my other comment would be,
have you considered doing another NASDAQ
study soon because their data is way off
enrollment because they don't include
the Fremont loss.
>> Yeah. So, I um I'm not going to answer
for whether or not the board's going to
do that, but I did have a conversation
with Adam last week at his office um
about facility use study. We reviewed
that data. Although it's old, it is
trending exactly almost I don't want to
say exactly, but the line is trending
the way, but to your point, Fremont
wasn't in there. So, um I think Adam is
contemplating uh before any decisions
are made getting all relevant data, but
that's probably a better question for
Adam.
>> Okay. And then tonight at your meeting,
there's a community forum on the 23rd in
Kingston. I'm hoping that you can
announce this at your board meeting
tonight because taxes are involved. The
tax base, do we want to bring in more
business as a community? It all affects
the schools. So, we're trying to get the
word out that schools are affected by
this forum.
>> Did you Yeah. Did you want to
>> if you could announce it tonight?
>> It's not on the It's not on the agenda,
but you can you announce it meeting at
6:30, so I can't
>> We can have somebody
>> We'll have somebody audience.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure Joe Leval
We'll have somebody read it.
And that's on that's on my radar, too,
because I think it aligns with our the
timing actually aligns nicely with our
school district's longerterm facilities
use plan. And I think we would be
foolish not to look at both in parallel.
>> I'm also sure that
something is probably on the agenda
>> where we can relevant. Yeah, that's what
I discussion. That was my assumption.
Pam, you beat me to it as usual.
>> Couldn't we do a community when you do a
committee update also talk about that?
>> I think so.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Set it in here.
>> That's right.
>> Yeah, we could do it though.
>> Yeah.
>> Got it. Thank you.
>> I'm over here in Newton with nothing to
do that night.
>> You can attend.
>> All welcome.
>> Snacks
>> or look at the other
go down to All right. Uh, anybody
anybody Pam, do you have anything else?
Okay, thank you. Uh, nobody has anything
else. So, journ the meeting and we will
walk out to the dugout.
>> We should be able to do that. We have to
get plenty of time. Let's go. All right.
We're fast walkers, right? Y
