Work Session Regarding Phase II of High School Construction Mark Fisher and Justin Myers were present to give some updated pricing on some finishes on Phase II of the construction project. Glass has been installed in the doors Punch List Items and Fire Marshal s list of items that needed to be completed have been completed and addressed. Mark will give written documentation to the Fire Marshal, Jerry Trimble who will in return respond in writing that the district does have the ability to occupy the weight room, a final Certificate of Occupancy will be granted at the completion of the project. Stone Veneer Samples are en route and should be here sometime this week.

8 Colors and Fonts will be sent to Traci McCleary for her review for the metal fascia, the letters, along with font designs The contractor did have some concerns regarding the over flow roof drains. Since the drains are designed to be used in an overflow situation when the main roof drains are clogged, and they were concerned to see some ice in the drains. The contractor is hoping that snow blew into the drain and then melted and then refroze. Pricing for the bronze window frames has not been received yet. The architect and contractor did caution the district that some of the newer cardio equipment draws more amperage than originally anticipated and thought that there could possibly need to be some re wiring done to accommodate the increased load if needed. The architect presented to the board a two different drawings showing a proposed bench outside of the entry way. There was some discussion as to the location of the bench and the location of the overhang. The bench could be moved back under the overhang to keep anyone sitting on the bench out of the conditions. The consensus of the board was to leave the bench where it currently is shown on the drawing given to the board tonight. Floor Finishes A number of alternates and materials were discussed at the last meeting. Mark suggested considering a walk off mat onto the other flooring. Mark took the board through a handout that was given regarding the different flooring options. The terrazzo flooring carried a surcharge of 15% due to the small size of the job. It carried a price of $10,700. Rubber sheet goods ½ thick, 1 color tiles would be approximately $5,850. Ceramic Tile or quarry tile would cost between $3,900 and $5,500. Colored Concrete 1 thick topping ($6/sf +$2.50 for color) would be approximately $3,300 there would be an additional charge of $1,600 for stamped and color and an additional $500 for an abrasive mixture added. Carpet Tile, commercial grade, glued down would be $1,600. Mark also priced a metal grate to try and catch the elements would be an additional $1,000. All of the above prices do not assume a $2,000 credit for not using the VCT tile that was in the original specifications. Duane asked about the carpet tiles and the life expectancy, Mark thought that they should last longer than 5 years and are designed to be replaced as necessary. Only the worn tiles would need to be replaced and the outside tiles that do not see the wear that the main traffic aisles would see. The choices for the carpet tiles and designs would actually give the district more choices than with terrazzo. The cost of the design will depend on the number of colors and the intricacy of the design. The board was in agreement to use the carpet material and the grate just inside the door to catch the majority of the elements coming in from the outside. Superintendent Peterson asked if the base color of the carpet needed to be decided before the logo would be designed. The students will design a logo that will fit in a 10 square foot radius medallion in the carpet tiles. Matt Stewart asked about the condensation that will form on the windows of the upper windows of the tower structure. Mark said that the engineer did study that and did not think it would be a problem. The district can put a fan in the top of the structure or consider a ventilator to bring in fresh air. Matt just wanted to make sure that it would not become a problem after it is built, and wanted it known that it could be a potential problem down the road. Superintendent Peterson noted that all the items that were talked about on the 2/5 meeting were discussed tonight. Mark Fisher noted that the east doors going out of the weight room have the conduit and junction boxes are in the area to tie those doors to the security system, but until those doors are added to the current security monitoring, a stand alone system that would probably cost no more than $1,000 could be installed that would give an audible alarm if the doors are open.

9 Mark asked if the district would be in favor of allowing Klingner and Associates to come up and take some photographs for marketing, and portfolio s, they will make an appointment with the High School Office to get those photos taken. There were two ventilators that were in use in the former weight room, one is still being used and the second was to be removed. The contractor asked if they district would like to leave it in place, disconnecting the power, and closing off the ductwork, and leaving it if the district should want to use it down the road to ventilate another area that is not currently air conditioned. The board was in favor of disconnecting the fan and leaving the fan in place, this should result in an approximately $1,200 deduct for leaving the fan in place and taking the necessary steps to disconnect the wiring and close off the ductwork and insulate around the fan. The roofing subcontractor that was being used has reportedly gone out of business. Myers Construction was notifying the district that a change will be made; they will continue to use the same 2 nd tier sub contractor and make them the first line subcontractor for the project. Mark Fisher noted that when this happens the contractor is obligated to let the owner know that a change is taking place. Motion by Miller and seconded by Stewart to go into Exempt Session per code of Iowa 20.17(3) STRATEGY MEETING OF PUBLIC EMPLOYER CONCERNING CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS. Roll call vote was taken with all members voting aye. Motion by Miller to come out of exempt session and seconded by Stewart. Roll call vote was taken with all members voting aye. Motion by Pritchard and seconded by Miller to adjourn the meeting at 9:04 p.m. Motion carried with a 5 0 voice vote. Duane Boysen, President Eric Small, Secretary

31 Item 13i Object: Consideration to Approve Proposed Reductions for School Year Background: Declining enrollment means that we must continue to look for ways to operate more efficiently. We have included our proposed reductions for Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the proposal.

32 Proposed Reduction Savings Cumulative Savings Rationale Restructure PK to 1/2 day sessions $38,000 $38,000 This will allow us to serve more students without having to increase staffing. Many districts run 1/2 day programs. This also brings us in line with the funding from the state. For PK students, each student counts as.5 By having a 1/2 day program, we will bring ouselves into alignment with the level of funding we receive. Eliminate one 6th grade position $42,799 $80,799 Declining elementary enrollment dictates that 6th grade would be two sections next year. Elementary Music Reduced $38,347 $119,146 Elementary Art reduced to 63% $4,560 $123,706 Our K 12 music classes would be covered by the remaining full time music instructors. If the elementary music position is reduced, then we would not look at music when it comes to cuts in future years. We would still offer all of our elementary music classes, and we would still have Band and Choir at the 7 12 level. No classes would be eliminated. The only thing that would be affected is individual lessons at the 7 12 level. These would still happen, just not as often. Declining elementary enrollment. Next year, we will lose a section of 6th grade and we will also not be offering specials to PK. Reducing elementary art to 63% reflects the loss of these two sections. Again, you can't teach kids who aren't there. This year, the 7 12 art teacher has full sections, so it isn't feasible to have her come and teach elementary art. If that situation changes in future years, we will need to revisit this area. Eliminate one associate position $12,181 $135,887 Decreased student need. Brett has worked with the SPED teachers and they have determined that we can reduce one associate position and still meet the needs of students. Eliminate Basketball Cheerleading $1,791 $137,678 Participation in this activity has been low. Even with this reduction, the district provides many activities for students. Eliminate Wrestling Cheerleading $1,955 $139,633 Even with this reduction, the district provides many activities for students.
