 Then the timelines going to come we're going to go well. I kind of need to know this To help me make a decision. And so I guess that was my question to you than before But at least setting a goal a goal like Okay, we're gonna make a decision on this day and that way we can set these are party I would like to have all board members I mean some of the stuff yeah some of it's different than I thought it would be but I think it's good for the whole board to come together and be able to have those conversations In a manner that is structured So, I mean, I guess that's that's one thing time frame. I guess I'm just saying saying goal and date and then over the course of the next two three weeks on We can Bring matters forward to brad and say we want to discuss this and brad can set up specific partners that we try to meet And so do you think but then So if I understand you correctly, then if we put all that If we gave our goal for the next board meeting make set the goal for the next board meeting Any issues or concerns or questions that you have regarding the two bond options Would be email to brad and and then we kind of he can email them out on friday notes Here's where we're at here's some of the questions that are coming from individual board members That need answered prior to making decisions and then we can discuss those at the next board meeting Okay, I just wanted to clarify Why can't we do that by the next board meeting? I mean, I know that we don't have everybody here tonight, but toning's on he would be here if he could be um, and then I mean callie doesn't miss a meeting and You know with dawn's health situation. He's not here. So I feel like maybe uh, maybe next meeting might We might accidentally get everybody here Yeah But I think we need to send our concerns to brad like you just discussed Send them so that we can get a list of them because I think those need to be discussed And answered so that when it comes time to making these decisions all that's done Like a weird day Very Well, I mean we can only do what we can do as far as getting people here anyways I believe that the questions and the issues that individuals have with either selection need to be sent in so that we can discuss Collaborate whether or not we get to a decision We still have an opportunity rather than a just saying bond and we don't know what to discuss because we don't know Which direction to go Here's a list of issues that need to be covered Let's cover as many as we can during that meeting and then see where the next one brings us Fair enough, okay Tony you having feedback on on what we're discussing there We're standing because sometimes it's a little hard to hear you guys. Um, you're just saying If whatever issues we need to have that have brad and for the most part be ready Have no have no reason not to be ready next meeting To Come up with some sort of plan to move off. Is that correct? Correct I have no issues about what's going on Okay I'm open to sit here and discuss this all night if you'd like but if everybody's kind of gotten out what they feel like They're going to get out and we can move on Mr. Schoen, aren't you good with that? Okay, then we'll move on to discussion item Paxco Middle School Just as a continual uh to have that on the Court agenda As I understood and that this is just what our savings annually are With that particular building and then decide what you Would like to do with it You know anytime a facility is left empty for an extended amount of time you can drive by it every day and see a deteriorating So I believe that the board needs to keep it in mind that they do have a facility sitting there and we did choose to Get out of that facility for a reason and so The sooner a decision is made as to whether we reincorporated into our operations We gift it or we sell it is going to Help us and the next individual that Potentially has whatever they're going to do with it You know our values just decreases every day. I believe so I think it needs to be a hot topic here in the coming months to decide what to do with that facility I know you provided The costs that they are for us for that I'd be curious. I don't know if we can give you information, but I'd be curious what the cost would be My understanding I guess and I My understanding was a big part of keeping that maybe further utilization of it during the process of a bond passing and using that space In the interim period for students I'm curious what the costs would be Um because most school districts don't have a whole extra building to use When when they pass upon for moving students, what would the cost what would make up that cost? in terms of a bond to have like temporary Structures or whatever they would typically bring in for students because if if that is not a significant amount of money To your point. I'm not sure keeping a facility For that use would be necessary. So now if that's very costly Not make sense to A couple things I guess to think about on that topic is one. It is still costing us money I mean, it's still we still have to have the heat on we're still paying electricity those types of things So you're enduring costs every month or every year anyways Then the other side of that is is there a value to it if there is a certain value then Then obviously that's your opportunity cost as well And then I believe on the previous bond We were not using that facility to house kids in and I there was a number put on temporary And I I mean there's a couple hundred thousand dollars Yeah, I know that it wasn't included. I don't remember what the temporary amount is, but it was included in the bulk Right. Yeah Then to move people at different spots and then they would whatever construction and so Well I think we're all on the same page. I believe we could research and dig into our previous Bond information that we've been sent and find what that number is because yeah, it's if it's several million dollars to house It's different than if it's a couple hundred thousand and it's easy to throw numbers around, right? So I know that by we By the budget numbers you sent it feels like we definitely made the right decision And it really helped our budget over the past operating year doing what we did And so We made a good decision there So we just don't want to let that out of sight out of mind and get away from us I can contact maria to get Because she would have the information off the bond stuff on the temporary things It would you think it'd be a quick easy number for her to throw out and you could send out Yeah Because we might be able to make a decision on that in the next couple months if that's a low enough number To declare a surplus Okay, any more communication about that discussion Tony Okay, I think that's all I'm sure you can see it He didn't okay All right, then moving on to uh the gas bus bid um, we had two bids come in um for new vehicles and um those bids Were a little higher than what we'd like to see the uh low bid was 91,684 and that's uh The delivery was approximately 180 days from them receiving the order The next bid was uh on a 59 faster was 92,046 And as the notes say there we had 61,000 something like that To 65,000 in this year's budget left as far as vehicles We discussed the possibility of Not having of taking ownership and receiving it until the new budget year But I don't know if any group would be willing to do that So in the sense that uh, we want to get it quote on order so that we can get it in time But we don't have the money to pay for it right now Has there been any discussion about split payment like can we put half down you order the bus and we'll pay the other half? Yeah, um State statute won't allow you to do that Unless we go to a to a lease purchase type of thing or something like that, but when you receive it, you got to pay for When you receive it, yeah, so we you're not allowed the state statute doesn't allow you to put a down payment like an order Uh To hold the but I mean what company is going to allow you to order it without any money down I can ask them I can ask them, but uh, I wouldn't under the assumption that probably wouldn't do it, but I'll I'll ask Would you go ahead? Sorry and we still and again I The 91,000 is that something that Would we rather like to wait a little time to see if we can use one because none of them have And I don't know if that's tips you want. Uh, what you want is the what we need both, okay Then I fully support the 91,000 to buy it I I don't like our current fleet and the condition that it is in so I will support a 91 thousand dollar option I feel like it's Probably in our best interest that it's 180 days out And I would think that a company and or a state would allow us a little bit of flexibility in today's environment of Things being available. We just on that transit that we just bought it was so hard to find what we needed We have the opportunity to get what we need. You would think they would work with us on 180 day deal And that helps us split it out of the two budget years and be under budget in both years Mm-hmm Was that company are they concerned with Holding it that long is that their issue? I think Well, I I'm not sure I haven't talked specifically to Well, they're not 180 days. We're happy to wait exactly the next budget year. So I'm just wondering from their perspective I would think their perspective would be they were going to let us order it on with zero money down and hold it For 180 days until we paid them a hundred percent 180 days from now We just want to split it into two calendar years because our budget allows us to do it and not 11 months apart right so So I don't think I think it's bluebird, right or it's uh midwest transit I mean, I would think that's they get to I don't think that'd be a gravy deal for them. They get to use 45 000 dollars in our money for the next 180 days and Get the balance of their payment But I think I'm assuming if it's related to same other Payment methods where yeah, we're not allowed to pay for until we receive it, but 180 days are pretty close to almost that we order it Right soon. We're gonna be into july anyway, right So are you saying then once we are when we rewrite our new budget we increase that from 61 000 to 100 000 in order to buy this one bus and get it in Got it, so if you uh, then want to accept that bid and uh the contingent upon Is that what you guys want? I mean, is that who you want to work with that's all I need to know. Yeah, that's a little bit Anyone that can get it 180 days out good to work with yes, the representative's former Well former president of manhattan school boarder as well as former transportation director at manhattan Is 622 delivery 622 Yes On the gas buses Oh Because of them having the same problems we're having with the diesel with the emissions and stuff I did not call him I did tony He did not answer, but I did get to talk to one of their uh board members and uh that is very close to Them and said that this was a great scenario Moving forward and wishes they had done it a long time ago I think they're up to 20 buses like this in their fleet now I believe that's what that said in their jail was that their fleet that was like a 20 now of gas buses Correct question. I'm just I'm just looking to see if there was feedback there too that Yeah, because if we can if we can get done what was discussed that would be a win man I would thank for everybody right Okay Do we need a little bit? Okay I move we accept the low bid from kansas From midwest transits transit on the uh Gas bus as submitted kelly seconds Any more discussion However, you can get it cut out. Is that okay with you? We're committing to the bid of 91 thousand whatever dollars, so Whether we can split it two calendar years or pay for it next calendar year Okay, all those opposed. Please say I Motion carried Thank you for your research net appreciate it. You bet. Thank you for your help All right, uh moving on then to executive session Under confidential data relating to financial affairs or trade secrets Of corporations partnerships trusts and individual proprietors ships That executive session will last 10 minutes.

We are on to personnel I move we approve employment as submitted which is substitute teacher land landry called burn Approve uh Mitch Bomption as emergency substitute and transportation director clint thompson It's been moved in second. Is there any discussion? Hearing none all those opposed. Please say I Motion carried Superintendent board member forum mr. Starnes just a little information on just the fact that with the ice storm We kept track of everything That we were turning in and turned into the city for their insurance And we received a check of four thousand seventy five dollars from e mc from damages from the ice storm last year The other thing as far as the district population Changes and look at possible Redrying our board member districts. I think that I sent you what abby had sent us About what we've been statutory limitations and registered voters. So that this time unless there's Another need I think we're fine in in our board member districts Yes 158 so you have a difference of 200 which I think is fairly significant and could affect things like Board elections and sure and we get individuals that are hopefully willing and able to run I guess I would I don't want to dismiss that potential of redrawing the district lines to get more affordable I think it's great information appreciate you bringing it Brad and abby for putting that information together As I said prior to the election, I think we ever choose to do that. Maybe it's something we choose to have two at large members and five district members instead of six and one We're such a large spread out district having two at large members may not be the worst thing in the world Then making each individual district larger coverage area as well, but that's just I'm not saying it has to be done. I just thought of as an idea Is there a process we have to go through or I mean, I mean, obviously we want to leave it the same We just keep right on rolling but yeah, just uh We have a in july at the organizational meeting You can choose like your what you're talking about. We're going to go to a different plan And I don't know off the top of my head those specific options Some have all at large And then what that may look like but I can get that information together You get it to you like Friday and then the other piece is just the yeah, there is a process to go through and abby was getting with the Secretary of State, I believe that does that and how to go through all that redistrict And what that net There I see we see how many hoops if I guess a jump through to do it, but And then what everybody else thinks Curiosity is all Think what he's going to do is send it out in Friday notes as to what The answer to some of those questions and then we can decide from there That program Okay, all right, uh, brad do you have anything else? Your own Thank you all for coming in Oh, Tony you have anything bad No, sir. All right Then I will entertain a motion to adjourn Tony's in the books All those opposed say hi Motion carries meeting is adjourned
