21.1 Approve district membership in the California School Boards Association, Education Legal Alliance, and GAMUT from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.

[21.1 Approve district membership in the California School Boards Association, Education Legal Alliance, and GAMUT from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.]

OKAY, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DISTRICT MEMBERSHIP IN THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION, EDUCATION, LEGAL ALLIANCE, AND GAMBIT FROM JANUARY 20TH JANUARY 1ST, 2025 THROUGH JUNE 30TH, 2025. I'LL SECOND. OKAY, SO THIS IS THE SBA ONCE AGAIN. AND THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVE SAID, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANYBODY GOING LIKE TO THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP IS I'VE ATTENDED SOME CONFERENCES. I THINK YOU'VE ATTENDED SOME CONFERENCES. WE'VE ALL ATTENDED CONFERENCES, BUT IT'S NEVER REQUIRING A $35,000 FEE JUST TO BE A MEMBER OF IT, LIKE TO HAVE A MEMBERSHIP FEE.

AND SO I KNOW THAT THE THREE OF YOU JUST ATTENDED CSBA, AND YOU WERE STILL ABLE TO ATTEND THE CONFERENCES. YOU'RE STILL ABLE TO ATTEND. IF YOU HAVE ANY OF LIKE WORKSHOPS OR OTHER CONFERENCES THAT YOU WANT TO ATTEND, YOU COULD STILL ATTEND. EVEN IF WE DON'T PAY THIS BIG MEMBERSHIP FEE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS MENTIONED, IN FACT, A FEW TEACHERS REACHED OUT TO ME AND SAID WAS PERHAPS EVERYONE JUST IS ABLE TO GO FREELY, ATTEND WHAT THEY WANT TO. WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A MEMBER, AND WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE THAT $35,000 BACK TO LIKE FOR SCIENCE CAMP. DO WE GIVE IT BACK TO THE SCHOOL SITES FOR LIKE THERE ARE PROGRAMS? DO WE GIVE IT TO THE SCHOOL SITES FOR, YOU KNOW, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT? DO WE GIVE IT TO THE TEACHERS FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES, YOU KNOW, FOR THEIR CLASSROOMS? IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO SPEND THE MONEY THAN TO PAY JUST A STRAIGHT MEMBERSHIP FEE? BECAUSE EVEN WHEN WE GO TO THESE CONFERENCES, WE PAY $35,000, BUT THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE CONFERENCES, ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE GO TO. SO IT COULD POTENTIALLY CREEP UP TO, YOU KNOW, ALMOST AN ADDITIONAL 15 OR $20,000. AND SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANYBODY GOING TO THE CSBA OR WHATEVER, BUT DO WE NEED TO HAVE A MEMBERSHIP FEE AND JUST SAY, LIKE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE MEMBERSHIP FREE FEE BECAUSE WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION THROUGH OUR ATTORNEYS, WE GET ALL OF THE INFORMATION THROUGH THE COUNTY BOARD, BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO SAVE OURSELVES SOME MONEY AND NOT PAY A $35,000 MEMBERSHIP FEE. I HAD I BEING THE FIRST TIME THAT I ATTENDED THE CSBA CONFERENCE THIS LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE HELD TO THE SAME ACCOUNTABILITY AS OUR TEACHERS. IF WE'RE ALL ASKING OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF TO KEEP TO GO TO THE SAME TRAININGS AND BE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THINGS AND LEARN THE SAME THINGS, THEN I THINK WE SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING AS WELL, BECAUSE US GOING TO HODGEPODGE IS PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER. EVERYBODY'S GETTING DIFFERENT INFORMATION SOMEWHAT. I MEAN, THE BASE IS OBVIOUSLY BOARD BYLAWS AND THINGS LIKE BOARD POLICIES ARE THE SAME, BUT THE TRAINING YOU'RE GETTING IS DIFFERENT. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO ASK TEACHERS AND EVERYBODY ELSE TO BE TRAINED A CERTAIN WAY, THEN WE SHOULD BE AS WELL. AND THEN AS ONE THING I DID LEARN TOO IS THERE IS I YOU GUYS PROBABLY KNOW MORE THIS ABOUT THIS THAN I DO, BUT WHAT DOES THE 35,000 INCLUDE? IT'S NOT JUST YOU'RE PAYING FOR NOTHING AND YOU'RE GETTING NOTHING IN RETURN. BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WERE OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE DISCUSSED, TOO, IS THAT SOMETIMES IT'S MORE ONE COSTLY FOR NOT DOING ON THE SAME PAGE, AND LAWSUITS GET BROUGHT UP. IT'S COSTING US MORE IN THE END IF WE'RE NOT ALL TRAINED THE SAME WAY AND FOLLOWING THE SAME GUIDELINES, AND TO FOR PAYING OUTSIDE LAWYERS EVERY SINGLE TIME, I THINK LEGAL ASSISTANCE IS INCLUDED IN CSBA. SO I MEAN A LITTLE BIT. SO YEAH. SO AT LEAST OUR BASIC STUFF COULD BE COVERED RATHER THAN PAYING OTHER OUTSIDE ENTITIES. AND, AND THE LONG RUN, I THINK TO ME, HONESTLY, IT'LL SAVE US MONEY BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE'LL BE ON THE SAME PAGE. WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING, BUT WE'RE NOT ALL REQUIRED TO ATTEND. AND WE ARE. BUT IT WOULD BE NICE THAT WE WERE ALL OFFERED THE SAME THING SO WE CAN STILL GO, RIGHT. YOU CAN STILL GO REGARDLESS AT AN INCREASED COST, AND THEN WE DON'T HAVE

[02:30:01]

EVERYTHING ELSE THAT GOES WITH IT AS WELL. WELL, WE JUST, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD IT FOR A YEAR OVER A YEAR AND WE HAVEN'T MISSED IT. SO THAT'S, THAT'S THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF THINGS THAT I LEARNED THERE THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN PLACE HERE. I A GOVERNANCE NOTEBOOK WITH PROTOCOLS FOR EACH SITUATION, THINGS THAT OTHER. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLES FROM OTHER DISTRICTS, SUPERINTENDENTS, BOARD MEMBERS AT THAT CONFERENCE, AT THE FIRST DAY AT THE NEW BOARD MEETING, BOARD MEMBER MEETING AND OR TRAINING. AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I WAS LIKE, WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS, I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT, OR THEY HAVEN'T PLACED THAT. WE DON'T. SO IT'D BE NICE TO KIND OF GET ON THE SAME PAGE ONE WITH ALL THE OTHER BOARDS IN THE STATE. I MEAN, THERE WAS 400 OF US THERE THAT ATTENDED JUST THAT ONE THAT ONE DAY. AND LIKE I SAID, AND KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE LACKING, IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE HAVE THOSE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. SO WE ALL ARE RESPONDING THE SAME WAY. WE'RE ALL KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. WE ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO. DO WE ALL RESPOND THE SAME WAY? I WOULDN'T WANT TO RESPOND TO A CERTAIN EMAIL LIKE THE EMAIL THAT WE GOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOMECOMING. WE ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO. IF THAT CAME TO US INDIVIDUALLY. THAT'S THAT'S MY POINT. AND THAT'S THE THING THAT, LIKE I SAID, OUR TEACHERS ARE EXPECTED. YOU'RE NOT ASKING TEACHERS, OH, GO AHEAD AND GO GET TRAINED ON GLAD BY YOURSELF. GO FIGURE IT OUT. WE'LL PAY FOR IT OR GO DO THAT. WE SHOULD BE HELD TO THE SAME ACCOUNTABILITY. I DON'T SEE IT AS THE SAME THING. NO. AND I THINK THAT YOU'RE PUTTING A LOT OF HOPE IN SOMETHING BEING GREAT WHEN WE HAVEN'T MISSED IT FOR A YEAR. BUT DID YOU HAVE IT HAVE YOU USED IT BEFORE? YEAH. I MEAN IT WAS WELL AND I THINK TOO, IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE MISSING ALL OF THESE THINGS, WE WERE PART OF THE CSB FOR LIKE 30 SOMETHING YEARS. SO IF WE WERE MISSING ALL OF THIS STUFF AND WE WEREN'T FOLLOWING WHAT THEY WERE TELLING US TO DO, THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING. ALL THIS TIME. IT DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'RE MISSING STUFF IN A YEAR. OBVIOUSLY, THINGS WEREN'T IMPLEMENTED AND THESE ARE JUST SUGGESTIONS THAT THEY SAY YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT THESE THINGS. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE AS EVERYBODY ELSE WHO'S THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE STATE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SAME PAGE. SO I HAVE BEEN PART OF KSBA FOR THE WHOLE TIME, EXCEPT FOR LAST YEAR. I FOUND IT INCREDIBLY VALUABLE. I ALL OF THE BYLAWS WE HAVE ALL OF OUR, OUR POLICIES, ALL OF THAT STUFF BEFORE LAST YEAR HAD ALL BEEN DONE AND VETTED THROUGH KSBA. I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE MEMBERSHIP. IT GIVES US A LOT OF ACCESS TO THINGS AROUND THE STATE THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO, AND SO I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR IT. I THINK IT'S GREAT, AND I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOPEFULLY GO BACK. WHAT ACCESS DO WE NOT HAVE? YOU CAN'T GO TO ANYTHING OR GET ANY INFORMATION FROM KSBA WITHOUT BEING A MEMBER. SO IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE SBA, YOU CAN GO TO THE CONFERENCE AND PAY A SEPARATE MEMBERSHIP. ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT RELATED TO KSBA YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO? OKAY. SO YOU'RE SAYING LIKE THE BOILERPLATE, NOT AGENDAS, BUT ALL OF THE LEGAL, ALL OF THAT. BUT WE HAVE THAT THROUGH OCDE. YEAH. IT'S NOT THE SAME. AND KSBA IS AN A AND IT'S AN ORGANIZATION OF A THOUSAND BOARDS ALL AROUND THE STATE WITH 5000 BOARD MEMBERS. THE ABILITY TO GET INFORMATION AND BEST PRACTICES AND HEAR ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE STATE IS SO MUCH MORE VAST THERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE. IT'S A LOBBYING FIRM. IT'S A LOBBYING FIRM. THEY HAVE LOBBYING PEOPLE WITHIN KSBA. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DID WAS MAKE SURE THAT THE GOVERNOR LAST YEAR DIDN'T CUT PROP 98. SO IT WAS INCREDIBLY VALUABLE FOR EVERY BOARD AND EVERY DISTRICT IN THE STATE. I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT I FIND VALUE IN THIS PROGRAM AS WELL. YOU TALK ABOUT WE COULD GO TO ANY CONFERENCE. WE WANT. THE MEMBER RATE TO ATTEND THIS CONFERENCE IS $775, WITH A NONMEMBER RATE AT 1560. SO EVEN IF YOU JUST TAKING THE THREE OF US, IT REALLY HELPS THE GOVERNANCE CLASSES THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO BETTER YOURSELF. THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU CAN TAKE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE TRAINING UPDATES. YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT, THOUGH THAT DOES NOT IN THE MEMBERSHIP THING. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU JUST LISTED YOU PAY FOR, BUT YOU CAN'T ATTEND. IF YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER, YOU CAN'T GO TO A TRAINING ON MASTER GOVERNANCE UNLESS YOU'RE A MEMBER. THIS LAST YEAR, I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON BYLAWS AND I COULDN'T REACH OUT TO KSBA AND ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. I'D BE, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT THAT I WANTED. DID YOU REACH OUT TO THE OC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, OUR ATTORNEY? I HAD TO REACH OUT TO OUR ATTORNEY, AND EVEN THEN HE WAS LIKE, I'M NOT SURE. OR HE WOULD, YOU KNOW, ADVISE. BUT I'M LIKE, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE DOING. I WHEN WE WERE WORKING ON SOME OF OUR UPDATES ON OUR BOARD BYLAWS IN THE PAST, I REACHED OUT TO OUR FIELD REP AND THEY SENT ME SAMPLES FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT DISTRICTS SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THE RESEARCH THEY WERE ASSISTING. THEY'RE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND HELP. SO

[02:35:05]

I'M GOING TO BE VOTING FOR THIS AS WELL. SO WE DID HAVE A QUESTION TO WHAT KSBA ATTORNEY DID YOU GUYS SPEAK TO AT THE CONFERENCE? YOU GUYS SAID THE LAST MEETING THERE WAS A KSBA ATTORNEY. SO HOW DID YOU SPEAK TO A KSBA ATTORNEY AND GET ADVICE AT THE CONFERENCE THERE AT ALL THE CLASSES? NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHO WAS IT? WHAT WAS THE NAME? I TALKED TO A LOT OF ATTORNEYS THERE AT. I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN LOOK AT THE BUT OBVIOUSLY HE GAVE A CERTAIN TYPE OF DIRECTION. SO WHAT WAS HIS NAME? I DON'T RECALL, YOU DON'T RECALL. AND WHO WAS THERE WHEN ALL OF. I DON'T THINK THIS HAS TO DO WITH. WELL, IT ACTUALLY DOES. NO THIS DOESN'T.

WE'RE MOVING OKAY, OKAY. SO YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY WHO WAS THERE AND WHO SPOKE TO THE ATTORNEY AND HOW THEY GAVE ADVICE TO OUR BOARD. WHEN I WENT UP TO THE ATTORNEY AT THE END OF THE CLASS AND ASKED QUESTIONS. SO IT WAS YOU BY YOURSELF? YEAH. OKAY. AND YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE ATTORNEY'S NAME? I COULD LOOK HIM UP. HE WAS FROM THE CHARTER RENEWAL CLASS. PERFECT. THANK YOU. I'M READY TO VOTE. OKAY, WE'RE ALL READY TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? HI. HI. I NO, NO. I'LL ABSTAIN. YOU'LL ABSTAIN. OKAY. GOOD CALL. THAT SHOULD BE YOUR PODCAST. I ABSTAIN, I, I ABSTAIN. GOOD ONE. OKAY. MOTION CARRIES WITH A32 VOTE. AND OUR. BOARD, OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER.

[22.2 Approve warrant listings in the following amounts: Check #269199 through 270011; current year expenditures (November 10, 2024 through December 7, 2024) $10,225,970.29; and payroll registers 5A, $15,283,001.16.]

BOARD MEMBER. EXCUSE ME. ABSTAINS. SO THE NEXT ITEM WILL BE 22.2. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WARRANT LISTINGS IN THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS. CHECK 2691993270011. CURRENT YEAR.

EXPENDITURES NOVEMBER 10TH, 2024 THROUGH DECEMBER 7TH, 2024 $10,225,970.29 AND PAYROLL REGISTERS FIVE. A 15,283,000 AND $0 $1.16. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY MRS. BUCK, A SECOND BY MR. FRAZIER. SO I PULLED THIS ITEM BECAUSE THE WARRANT LISTINGS FROM 1117 TO 1123, THERE WERE SEVERAL ITEMS FROM CULVER. NEWLAND. AND I ASKED ABOUT THIS, THESE PURCHASES AND THESE PURCHASES. THIS PAYMENT WAS FOR PURCHASES FOR FURNITURE, FOR USC AND EXTENDED LEARNING. THE AMOUNT FOR USC, FOR THE FURNITURE ALONE WAS. $45,000. AND THAT WAS FOR 30 CHAIRS, SOME TABLES, WHITEBOARDS AND OTHER STUDENT NEEDS. I KEEP GETTING THE ANSWER THAT WE MADE THE INVESTMENT LAST YEAR FOR USC, BUT EVERY MONTH WE KEEP GETTING ADDITIONAL FEES FOR USC. LAST MONTH WE DID 36,000 FOR BASEBALL EQUIPMENT. AND THIS YEAR IS THIS MONTH 45,000 FOR FURNITURE. AND SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO KNOW, WHY DO THESE ATHLETES NEED THIS FURNITURE? IS THIS FURNITURE IN USE NOW? CAN IT BE RETURNED? I MEAN, WHERE ARE WE WITH THIS FURNITURE? AND IF I COULD ADD, ARE THESE THINGS BEING APPROVED ON THE FRONT END OR ON THE BACK END? CAN I TAKE THAT LAST QUESTION FIRST? WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY APPROVED ON THE FRONT END? ARE WE APPROVING IT NOW AFTER IT'S BEEN SPENT? AND DID IT COME TO US A BEFORE IT WAS SPENT TO THE BOARD? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COME TO THE BOARD ON A ON A PURCHASE REC LAST MONTH. OKAY. SO ARE THESE PART OF THE BUDGET THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED? I MEAN IT'S WITHIN THE SPENDING LIMITS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR YOU. I'D HAVE TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT WHAT ACCOUNT CODE IT WAS CHARGED TO. I CAN'T ANSWER THESE. THESE ARE COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL BUDGET. OKAY. SO THEN IT THEN IT WOULD BE PART OF THE BUDGET THAT YOU SAW. NOW CONSIDERING THAT THE PAYMENT IS RIGHT NOW, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT IN THE FIGURES THAT THAT WERE PRESENTED AT FIRST INTERIM FOR OC. YES. THAT'S NOT OKAY. SORRY. USC PART OF THE DISTRICT'S GENERAL FUND BUDGET. YES IT IS. SO IT'LL SHOW UP IN SECOND INTERIM. AS FOR ARE WE DONE PURCHASING THESE? THESE

[02:40:02]

DON'T COME THROUGH. I MEAN THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY PROCESSOR PURCHASING BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE APPROVED AT THE SITE. THEY'RE REQUESTED AND IT GOES UP THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS. SO I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE PURCHASES ARE ALL DONE. LIKE WE'RE CONSTANTLY BUYING THINGS FOR ALL SITES.

WHAT I'LL SAY IS THAT THE, THE CHAIRS AND EVERYTHING ARE FOR THE I GUESS WHAT I'M BEING TOLD IS CALLED THE TEAM ROOM, WHICH IS WHERE THE STUDENTS GO WHEN THEY'RE NOT BEING TRAINED. AND SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S USED FOR. AND THEY'RE I GUESS THEY'RE CONFIGURABLE. SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION OF BEING FOR A TEAM ROOM, WAS THAT I WAS READING IS THERE'S 36 THERE'S 30 CHAIRS, 30 TABLES. ARE THERE TEAMS OF 30 THAT GO IN THERE? BECAUSE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THIS SPORT, A LITTLE BIT OF THAT SPORT. THERE'S NOT QUITE A TEAM. SO COULD WE HAVE DONE WITH LIKE I THINK TEAMS OF TEN CHAIRS LIKE HALF THE AMOUNT SINCE THERE'S NOT 30 PEOPLE USING IT ALL AT ONCE. BUT AT ANY POINT IN TIME YOU'VE GOT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE THERE. AND IF THERE'S 30 STUDENTS AT A GIVEN TIME, THEN THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. BUT IT'S NOT FOR A THERE'S NOT A US TEAM. THIS IS THE RECOVERY TEAM ROOM SLASH EVERYTHING ELSE. THE MENTAL HEALTH HAPPENS IN THAT ROOM TOO. THEY DO HOMEWORK IN THERE. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT. IT'S THERE'S THE MAIN AREA AND THEN THERE'S THIS OTHER ROOM. SO WHEN I WAS THERE THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING BECAUSE THIS IS A TEAM ROOM. SO I'M LIKE, IS IT AVAILABLE FOR OTHER TEAMS TO USE? IF THEY HAVE FUNCTIONS LIKE FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL, THEY CAN GO IN THERE.

THAT'S THAT WAS MY QUESTION, WAS WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF CALLING IT A TEAM ROOM? I'M GUESSING IT'S JUST KIND OF A GENERAL TERM. IT'S NOT SPECIFIED TO A TEAM. WHEN I WAS THERE WATCHING ONE OF THE CLASSES, THERE WAS, I THINK LIKE 15 KIDS WORKING OUT IN THE MIDDLE. AND THEN YOU HAD LIKE SOME OF THE KIDS WHO HAD JUST GOTTEN DONE AND THEY WERE DOING LIKE A SECOND CLASS. SO THEY WERE IN THE BACK IN THAT TEAM ROOM DOING HOMEWORK AND DOING ALL THEIR STUFF. AND SO ALL THEIR STUFF WAS IN THERE. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT I SAW WHEN I WAS THERE. YEAH, BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO A STUDY PERIOD OF IT. YEAH, YEAH. WHEN I TOURED USA, I, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS THE KIDS STUDYING AND THEN THERE WERE KIDS IN THE OTHER ROOM AND THEY HAD, YOU KNOW, A TYPICAL TABLE IN THERE THAT YOU SEE AT EVERY SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. AND THEY HAD DESKS FOR INDIVIDUAL. AND SO THIS IS NOT THAT EQUIPMENT. CORRECT. THIS IS A THIS IS LIKE AN UPGRADE. IT'S IT LOOKS LIKE THAT. RIGHT. SO I THIS WHEN YOU ASKED THE QUESTION THAT WAS THE FIRST I'VE SEEN OF, OF THE LAYOUT AND THOSE CHAIRS. SO IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? I KNOW WHEN THEY FIRST OPENED IT WAS TEMPORARY FOLDING CHAIRS, TABLES SO THAT I'M NOT SURE WHEN YOU WENT TO TOUR AT WHAT POINT, BUT THE NEW FURNITURE DID COME IN AND IT'S REALLY LIKE IT'S REALLY PRETTY, BUT LIKE CUSHIONED CHAIRS BUT ALSO TABLES. SO IT'S ALSO THE TEAM ROOM IS REALLY THE CATCH ALL LOCATION WHERE THE COACHES GO AND PICK UP THE STUDENTS FOR THEIR WORKOUTS, WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE STRETCHING AND GETTING READY FOR THE WORKOUTS THEY'RE DOING THEIR HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL AIDE. SO IT'S LIKE A MULTI-PURPOSE CLASSROOM. SO IT'S A MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM. BUT WE TOOK AWAY THE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM FROM BERNARDO, BUT NOW THEY HAVE A MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM OF THEIR OWN TO USE. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M IT'S SMALL OKAY. YEAH. BUT I'M JUST SAYING. BUT THEY'RE GIVEN A MULTI-TYPE OF MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM TO USE FOR THAT. LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S A CATCH ALL THAT IS THERE. IT'S A PRETTY BIG ROOM. I THINK IT WAS THE CHOIR ROOM. IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH. NO, THE AUDITORIUM IS. WHERE. NO, IT WAS ACTUALLY IT WAS THE CHOIR ROOM. YEAH. BECAUSE IT'S TIERED AND THEY ALSO HAVE LIKE THE LOUNGERS AND THE MASSAGE CHAIRS IN THERE AS WELL. GO TO USC, LUKE, SUBMIT A REQUEST. LUKE, IS THERE A LACROSSE USA? OKAY OKAY OKAY. I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR THIS. I'LL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS. WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL. THE MONEY, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE'VE SEEN OUR BUDGET. WHEN WE STARTED OFF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE WERE AT A $9 MILLION DEFICIT AND NOW WE'RE AT A $12 MILLION DEFICIT.

AND THIS KIND OF SPENDING, I THINK, IS NOT PRUDENT. I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHAT OUR WHERE OUR MONEY IS COMING, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL BUDGET. SO I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS. AND YOU JUST VOTED $35,000 FOR CSB MEMBERSHIP. BUT THAT WOULD BE BENEFITING THE WHOLE DISTRICT, NOT JUST 85. NO, IT'S ONLY FIVE OF US. IT'S ONLY FIVE OF US.

IT'S THE WHOLE DISTRICT. BECAUSE WE'RE ALL, NO, I DISAGREE, I DISAGREE. THIS MONEY GOES DIRECTLY TO THE STUDENTS. $35,000 IS JUST GOES TO US TO 84 STUDENTS. PROVED WE HAVE. IT'S MORE THAN THAT. IT'S PROBABLY LIKE WE HAD AN UPGRADE FROM WHAT NORMAL STUDENTS GET. IT CAN GO

[02:45:02]

WITHOUT CSB. WE PROVED IT THIS WHOLE YEAR. BUT YEAH. BUT AGAIN, IT'S NOT THE NORMAL FURNITURE THAT WAS AT A REGULAR SCHOOL. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENTIMENT OF NOT WANTING TO APPROVE TO APPROVE THIS ITEM, THESE ARE PAYMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN CUT. SO THAT WOULD BE ANYWAY THEY'RE ALREADY ISSUED. SO IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO NOT APPROVE THIS ITEM. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE EVALUATING THE PURCHASE ORDERS. LIKE THAT WOULD BE THE TIME TO, TO PULL AND DENY THOSE AT THE TIME. WELL, THE PURCHASE ORDERS ARE REALLY HARD BECAUSE THEY'RE GENERAL. THEY'RE LIKE A LARGE AMOUNT. THERE'S NO BACKUP INFORMATION. WHAT KIND OF CONTROLS CAN WE PUT IN AT THE SITES AND BEFORE APPROVAL, SO THAT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS BEFORE THEY COME TO US AS A WARRANT? WHAT WHAT CAN WE IMPLEMENT? I MEAN, IT WOULD BE UP TO THE BOARD TO DECIDE IF THERE IS A THRESHOLD THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE MORE DETAIL FOR CERTAIN PURCHASES OR CERTAIN TYPES OF, LIKE OBJECT CODES, LIKE IF WE'RE BUYING FURNITURE OR BUYING EQUIPMENT, THINGS LIKE THAT. THE BOARD COULD SPECIFY THAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS. BUT IS THE SPENDING IN LINE WITH THE EXPECTED BUDGET OR IS THIS OUTSIDE OF THE EXPECTED BUDGET? SO I THINK THAT'S THE PART THAT I'M I'M SORRY, I'M QUESTIONING BECAUSE IT'S NOT I DON'T THINK IF WHEN YOU MAKE A PURCHASE YOU SAY IS IT IN OUR BUDGET. RIGHT. SO THERE'S A NUMBER THAT THEY HAVE. IS IT OUTSIDE OF THAT. SO USA DOESN'T HAVE A SEPARATE BUDGET OKAY. SO THAT'S A PARK VIEW THING. YOU KNOW IT'S A PARK BUT IT'S PART OF PARK VIEW. BUT I'M SAYING THAT SO THAT IT'S AS PART OF THE PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, START THAT'S BEEN CREATED BY THE DISTRICT. THE PURCHASES ARE TAKING PLACE BECAUSE OF THAT PROGRAM. AND SO THERE ISN'T A BUDGET NECESSARILY FOR IT PER SE. IT'S WHAT AUTHORITY THAT THE DISTRICT IS GRANTING TO THAT PROGRAM TO MAKE THOSE PURCHASES. AND THEN THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PARK VIEW STUDENTS. SO IF A PARK VIEW STUDENT IS ENROLLED IN PARK VIEW, BUT THEY'RE NOT ENROLLED IN USC, THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT, BUT IT'S THEIR MONEY BEING USED TO PURCHASE. I JUST MEAN THAT YOU. YES. SO USC IS PART OF THE PARK VIEW PROGRAM? YES. BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW PROGRAM AND WE HAVEN'T HAD A FULL ACCOUNTING OF WHAT FUNDS HAVE GONE IN AND OUT FOR US. I, I WOULD I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO APPROVE THIS, BUT I DO WANT TO PUT SOME STOPGAPS IN PLACE. I THINK ESPECIALLY FOR WHERE WE ARE WITH USC RIGHT NOW, WE JUST KEEP BUYING MORE AND MORE EQUIPMENT, AND WE'RE ALREADY AT A $1.3 MILLION DEFICIT AT USC. WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT, OKAY. YES, YES. I'M SORRY. SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT BEFORE WE DO ANY MORE CHAIRS, TABLES, MORE EQUIPMENT, WEIGHTS, ANY OF THAT STUFF. IF WE COULD PUT A HOLD ON IT UNTIL WE CAN ACTUALLY GET NUMBERS TOGETHER, THE BOARD CAN MAKE THAT MAKE THAT MY RECOMMENDATION RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR THIS KIND OF EXPENDITURE AT USC? IT WOULD START GENERATE FROM THE PROGRAM AND IT WOULD GO UP THROUGH DOES IT GO UP THROUGH ED SERVICES OR. YEAH, IT GOES UP THROUGH ED SERVICES AND THEN TO PURCHASING. SO IT DOESN'T GO THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL AT PARKVIEW. IT GOES THAT'S THE ULTIMATE. YEAH. THAT'S A QUESTION I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WORKFLOW FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROGRAM. I JUST OUR NEXT ITEM THAT WE PULLED WAS THE DEVELOPER FEES AND WHICH WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IN A MINUTE. BUT LAST YEAR ALONE, WE SPENT 1.4 MILLION ON USC. AND WE ARE ANTICIPATING ANOTHER 288,000 COMING OUT OF DEVELOPER FEES. SO THESE THINGS ARE USC BUDGET GROWS. SO BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, WE'RE LOOKING AT 1.7 MILLION JUST IN START UP FEES. AND WE KEEP EVERY MONTH THERE'S MORE COST TO USC. AND THEY'RE NOT STAFFING. AND YOU KNOW WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE ADDITIONAL COSTS THIS YEAR. WE WERE WE WERE JUST FOCUSING ON STAFFING. SO THAT'S I JUST FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO REALLY STOP THE SPENDING AT USC. FOCUS ON SPEND ON STAFFING AND SEE WHEN WE COME BACK WITH OUR BUDGET MEETING IS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. SO IN FEBRUARY, WE'LL PUT TOGETHER ALL THE COSTS WHERE, WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM, WHETHER IT'S ONE TIME, WHAT FUNDS THEY ARE FOR USC, PARKVIEW, OCS, BBVA, EL CAMINO, ALL THE ALL THE PROGRAMS AND ALL THE COSTS. AND IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL INSTRUCT USC NOT TO PUT FORTH ANY PURCHASE ORDERS. THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. CAN WE

[02:50:04]

GET I THINK WE NEED TO DO IT JUST DISTRICT WIDE. THEN UNTIL WE GO SIT THROUGH AND LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM, SAY NO MORE PURCHASE ORDERS AT ALL FOR ANYBODY. DON'T ORDER CHAIRS, DON'T ORDER TABLES, DON'T ORDER ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE PROBLEMATIC. WE CAN WE COULD DO WE CAN DO AS MR. STEIN SAID, WE CAN HAVE A THRESHOLD OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THE BOARD IS REQUESTING TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR, BECAUSE WE SPEND A LOT ON FURNITURE AT, YOU KNOW, MANY, MANY SITES. BUT IF THE BOARD WANTS A THRESHOLD THAT WE PROVIDE EXPLANATION, IT'S MORE STAFF WORK. BUT WE COULD DO THAT. COULD WE ALSO GET JUST AN OUTLINE OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS SO THAT THAT'S CLEAR. LIKE JUST WHO DOES IT GO? DOES IT GO THROUGH THE PARKVIEW PRINCIPAL. DOES IT GO? DOES DOCTOR HOLLOWAY GO TO SOMEWHERE ELSE BEFORE IT GETS TO ED SERVICES? OR JUST HOW DOES THAT WORK? JUST INFORMATION IS GOOD. ALSO, I THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO DO AN INVENTORY OF WHAT WE HAVE ON HAND OF. I MEAN, I'VE HEARD THAT OUR WAREHOUSE HAS A LOTS OF LOTS OF FURNITURE. IS THAT CORRECT? YOU'RE JUST SAYING, LIKE WHAT FURNITURE DO WE HAVE ON HAND? WELL, I HAVE A LOT OF PIANOS TOO, IN CASE PEOPLE WANT THOSE.

SO WE GOT PIANOS. AND SO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF AN INVENTORY OF WHAT WE HAVE ON HAND BEFORE WE ARE PURCHASING ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT TO SEE WHAT IS USABLE. IF WE SEE A PIANO, WE KNOW NOT TO SAY US IS THE INVENTORY REVIEWED ANNUALLY? IT DEPENDS. SO IF THERE'S THINGS THAT SITES ARE SENDING BACK TO THE TO THE WAREHOUSE, WE DO INVENTORY EVERYTHING. WE DO SURPLUS A LOT OF IT. SO YOU HAVE THAT SURPLUS THAT COMES TO THE BOARD ITEM THAT WE TRY TO SELL THAT ON SURPLUS SITES. BUT SO YEAH, I MEAN WE DO KNOW WHAT'S IN THE IN THE WAREHOUSE. OKAY. SO YOU'RE SAYING THE CHECK HAS ALREADY BEEN SENT BASICALLY IN THE MAIL. IT'S BEEN CUT. YEAH. WE SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON PO LISTINGS AND ASK. YES. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE. SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S COMING BEFORE IT'S BEING PAID OUT. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING A PURCHASE REQUEST AND A PURCHASE ORDER. AND THEN YOU'RE PROVING THAT. AND THEN AFTER THAT'S BEEN APPROVED, REALLY IT'S JUST IT'S EVERYTHING'S ORDERED, EVERYTHING IS RECEIVED. WE CATALOG IT AND THEN THE PAYMENTS ISSUED AND THEN THEN THE WARRANTS COME BACK. DO WE HAVE DIRECTION TO PUT A STOP TO ALL PURCHASE ORDERS BEFORE COMING TO THE BOARD AT A CERTAIN THRESHOLD? BECAUSE WE CAN DO THAT. I THINK A THRESHOLD WOULD BE GOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S A REASONABLE THRESHOLD. I WAS GOING TO SAY, MR. STEIN, WHAT WHAT DO YOU THINK? WELL, THAT GIVES ME A LOT OF POWER ON MY LAST MEETING.

YEAH, WELL, I JUST SAW YOU WERE VERY HESITANT, SO I'M HESITANT TO PUT A I THINK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE INFORMATION FOR FROM A SPECIFIC SITE FOR PURCHASES, I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE TO SEE THAT BEFORE IT GOES OUT. PUTTING A THRESHOLD ON IT MEANS LIKE SO IF WE HAD A SCIENCE CLASSROOM THAT NEEDED TO DO THAT, THEN THAT'S GOING TO PUT A REAL STOP ON THAT. AND THE KIDS AREN'T GOING TO GET THE BENEFIT FROM, I THINK, WHAT THEY'RE ASKING. SO LET ME REPHRASE THAT. RATHER THAN A STOPGAP, AN EXPLANATION. YEAH, I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE DETAIL FOR THE BOARD TO RECEIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT'S A PURCHASE ORDER OF 20,000 OR MORE, CAN THE BOARD GET THE SITE AND WHAT IT IS? YEAH, AND NOT EVEN A HUGE PARAGRAPH, BUT JUST A YEAH, I MEAN, OF COURSE, OF COURSE. JUST AN EXPLANATION AND, AND YOU KNOW, AND WHAT FUND IS COMING.

IS IT COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. IS IT COMING OUT OF, YOU KNOW, YES, IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. AND THEN WHAT YOU'LL FIND OUT IS WE BUY A LOT FROM THE SAME VENDORS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. YOU'RE GOING TO GET TIRED OF SEEING. BUT YES, ABSOLUTELY WE CAN. WELL, I'VE LEARNED SOME OF THEM AND SO AND YEAH, SO I MEAN 2020 5000 WOULD BE, WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO JUST TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. AND THEN YOU CAN DECIDE TO, TO, TO ADJUST THAT.

BECAUSE I HAVE I SUSPECT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH. SO I MEAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE I MEAN, WE'RE CUTTING $10 MILLION WORTH OF CHECKS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF A LOT OF PURCHASE RECS. BUT SO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND A HIGHER THRESHOLD? I THINK I THINK YOU START AT ONE AND THEN AND THEN GO FROM THERE. HONESTLY. WHAT WAS THE AMOUNT FOR THE TABLES AND CHAIRS AGAIN? 45,045 45,000. OKAY. AND SO JUST FOR ONE SCHOOL AND JUST BUT THEY'RE SAYING THAT THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN AT THE SCHOOLS IN THIS AMOUNT. SO IS THIS A NORMAL AMOUNT FOR LIKE TABLES AND CHAIRS AT A SCHOOL SITE IS 45,000 A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. SO WE WOULD KNOW WHERE TO PUT THE THRESHOLD? I'LL BE HONEST. IT'S THOSE IT'S A IT'S A LARGE AMOUNT FOR 30 CHAIRS OKAY. SO BUT YOU KNOW IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU'RE BUYING AND WHAT THE, WHAT THE DESIGN OF THEM IS. SO I MEAN 25, $50,000 EITHER WAY. LIKE IT JUST IF THE BOARD PICKS A PICKS A THRESHOLD, WE'LL WORK WITHIN IT. AND THEN YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU WANT LESS INFORMATION. YEAH. I JUST FOR COMPARISON BECAUSE I THERE WERE SEVERAL ITEMS THERE AND THE OTHER TWO ITEMS WERE FOR EXPANDED LEARNING. AND THEY GOT DESK CHAIRS, FILING CABINETS AND OTHER RELATED OFFICE FURNITURE.

[02:55:03]

AND THEY SPENT 16,000. SO EXPANDED LEARNING SPENT 16,000 ON FURNITURE. I SPENT 45,000. SO THAT AND SOME SOME OF THAT WOULD EXPAND THE LEARNING COME OUT OF ELOP. YES. AND THEN THERE ARE THE TABLES AND CHAIRS AT US ARE COMING OUT OF GENERAL. SO THAT ALSO FACTORS IN FOR ME. BUT IT WAS IT CAME OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. THIS IS OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. THE GENERAL THE ELOP IS IN THE GENERAL FUND. BUT IT'S A SEPARATE RESOURCE IN THE GENERAL FUND. WE DO WE DO TRACK THAT SEPARATELY. WE AGREE 2520, 25, 25 AND THEN WHEN WE'RE BOMBARDED WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF STUFF, THEN WE CAN REDUCE. THEN WE'LL WE'LL RETRACT. THANK YOU. OKAY. WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE. WE NEED TO TAKE A VOTE. AYE. ALL IN FAVOR I, I, I, I OKAY. MOTION PASSED 5 TO 0 WITH AN EYE FROM

OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBER, I, I PULLED THE NEXT ONE. THE 22.4. OKAY. I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT A RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 4-07 ACCEPTING THE ANNUAL AND FIVE YEAR DEVELOPER FEES REPORT PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION (660) 016-6006 AND 66008 FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1ST, 2023 THROUGH JULY 30TH, 2024. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MRS. BECK, A SECOND BY MR. FRAZIER. I PULLED THIS BECAUSE OF DEVELOPER FEES, AND I JUST WANTED TO REVIEW IT AND GO OVER SOME OF IT WITH US, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND KICKING US OFF. OH, OKAY. SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED FOR THIS. SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING. I MEAN, WE BRING THIS REPORT TO THE BOARD EVERY YEAR. LET ME SEE IF I CAN PULL IT UP HERE. SO BASICALLY IT GOES THROUGH AND IT'S FOR LAST YEAR AND WHAT WAS RECEIVED WHAT WAS SPENT. AND THEN IT KIND OF SETS THE STAGE FOR PLANNING FUTURE PLANNING. SO WHAT WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO START? OUR EXPENSES FROM LAST YEAR. PAGE FOUR. OKAY. AND I GUESS WE'RE AT A 1.9 MILLION. AND WHAT? ARE WE ON ANOTHER PAGE? OH, I'M LOOKING AT FOUR ON THE BOTTOM OF IT, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY SIX. OKAY. YES. SO SOME OF OUR PROJECTS FUNDED AND. I'M LOOKING AT UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE AND THE KITCHEN FROM VALENCIA. SO LAST YEAR WE DID HAVE PART OF THE VALENCIA KITCHEN PLANNING PLANNED. I MUST BE LOOKING AT THE WRONG PAGE. I'M NOT SEEING VALENCIA KITCHEN IN THIS ONE, BUT IT'S NOT WE PLANNED ON. YES, THAT'S FOR FUTURE. AND THIS PAST YEAR WE SPENT 1.4 MILLION ON UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE. THAT'S CORRECT. JUST OUT OF DEVELOPER FEES. AND DID WE SPEND ANYTHING ELSE OUTSIDE OF DEVELOPER FEES? YES. SO THAT WOULD BE THE 1.4 IS JUST, I BELIEVE FOR THE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE AND SOME OF THE WORK DONE, THERE WOULD BE MORE FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE BUILDING. AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT WAS OUT OF RDA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FEES OR REVENUE. I LIKED YOUR GLASSES, MR. STEIN. BY THE WAY. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON THAT. OH.

THANK YOU. THEY LOOKED GOOD. YEAH, I CAN'T READ WITHOUT THEM. ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF BEING MY AGE. SO DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT THOSE FEES WERE FROM? FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT FEES FOR YOU? THE REVENUE WE GET IN ABOUT $4 MILLION A YEAR. 4.5 MILLION IF I IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY. OKAY, BUT WHAT FOR USC? WHAT PORTION OF THAT I WOULD BE ESTIMATING AT THIS POINT? BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT THE LAST TIME WE WERE LOOKING AT THE TOTALS DONE WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 1.2, AN ADDITIONAL 1.2. YES. IS THAT THE SITE INCLUDING OCSC? YES, I BELIEVE SO. OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. IT'S HERE. IT'S PROJECTED THAT WE'RE GOING TO SPEND ANOTHER 288,000 ON UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE. DO YOU WHAT WHAT DID THAT COVER? I THINK THAT'S JUST COMPLETING THE PROJECT THAT THAT BLED OVER INTO JULY AND AUGUST. AND THAT WOULD BE FACILITIES WORK. IT WOULD NOT WOULD NOT BE FURTHER PURCHASES. I DON'T BELIEVE OF EQUIPMENT.

AND THAT'S NOT DEVELOPER FEES. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE 288 DOES IT ANDERSON'S IT'S IN THE

[03:00:02]

REPORT. YEAH IT IS IN THE ADDITIONAL. YEAH IN THE ADDITIONAL. CORRECT. AND WE FEEL LIKE THE UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE IS GOING TO END THIS YEAR. CORRECT. YOU MEAN THE CONSTRUCTION WORK ON IT FUNDING OUT OF. YES. THE FUNDING. YES. LET ME BE CLEAR. THE FUNDING OUT OF THE DEVELOPER FEES OUT OF THE DEVELOPER FEES. CORRECT. THAT WAS JUST CHECKING BECAUSE IT GROWS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE TIMELINE FOR THE VALENCIA KITCHEN? IT'S BEING ADDED HERE AS A PROJECT. AND WITH ITS DATE OF COMPLETION AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO ROLL OUT. SURE. LET ME.

LET ME. YEAH. WE PULLED THAT AS WELL. YEAH. IT IS THE NEXT ONE. HEY GARY. REAL QUICK ON THE SIDE SINCE ALL OF USC HAS, YOU JUST SAID IT'S BEEN DONE WITH DEVELOPER FEES. SO THERE WAS NEVER $1.9 MILLION PULLED FROM THE VALENCIA KITCHEN PROJECT INTO USC. FROM WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US IS EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PAID FOR WITH DEVELOPER FEES. THE INITIAL PURCHASE WAS AND THEN THAT EXTRA WHATEVER 288 WHATEVER IS FROM DEVELOPER FEES. BUT THERE THERE'S FUNDS FROM REDEVELOPMENT AND OTHER OTHER THINGS USED FOR IT. YEAH, RIGHT. BUT IT'S STILL ALL CONSIDERED IN THE DEVELOPER FEES. WE NEVER PULLED FROM A PROJECT TO FUND USC. RIGHT, RIGHT. NO IT'S THANK YOU. RIGHT. LET'S SEE. LET ME PULL UP THE MY NOTES. BUT WE DID REPRIORITIZE PROJECTS CORRECT.

YES THAT IS CORRECT. BUT THAT'S NOT PULLING MONEY IF WE'RE JUST REPRIORITIZING INTO ONE PROJECT AHEAD OF ANOTHER, THAT'S NOT PULLING MONEY FROM THE PROJECT. RIGHT. AND THEN WE DO RECEIVE THOSE. I MEAN, WE GET DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DEVELOPER FEES EVERY YEAR. AND SO THE MONEY THAT WE, THAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED FOR THE VALENCIA KITCHEN WOULD, WOULD BE RECEIVED NOT ONLY THIS YEAR BUT IN COMING YEARS AS WELL. SO YOU ASKED ABOUT THE TIMELINE FOR THE VALENCIA KITCHEN. SO WE HAVE A AN ITEM COMING UP, 22.9, WHICH WOULD BASICALLY START THE DESIGN OF THE VALENCIA KITCHEN, IF IT'S APPROVED. IF IT IF IT IS, WE WOULD START THE DESIGN, THE OFFICIAL DESIGN JANUARY 2025.

THE WORK TO DESIGN AND GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH DSA APPROVAL, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING FREEZER AND DRY STORAGE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BUILDING. WE ESTIMATE THAT WE WOULDN'T GET APPROVAL OF EVERYTHING PROBABLY UNTIL FALL OF 2025. SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE US A GOOD, YOU KNOW, EIGHT, EIGHT, NINE MONTHS TO GET THAT DONE AND APPROVED. AND THEN SO AFTER THAT, THE EARLIEST WE COULD SEE PUTTING A BID ON THE STREET WOULD BE PROBABLY, WELL, RIGHT AFTER THAT. AND THEN THE EARLIEST WE COULD START CONSTRUCTION IS JANUARY 26TH, BUT THAT WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL YEAR. WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO DO THAT, THAT WILL BE UP TO THE BOARD. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE SAYING, WELL, MAYBE WE JUST PLAN FOR SUMMER OF 2026 TO START CONSTRUCTION. BUT THAT TIMELINE CAN BE MOVED UP DEPENDING ON DSA APPROVALS AND ALL OF THAT. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. OKAY. I DO I DO THINK BECAUSE I KNOW IN ONE OF YOUR CAMPAIGN FLIERS, YOU SPECIFICALLY SAID WE ALLOCATED 1.9 MILLION AWAY FROM THE VALENCIA KITCHEN TO USC. AND SO I THINK YOU SHOULD COME OUT AND SAY THAT WE DID NOT DO THAT. AS I JUST SAID. I ALSO WANTED JUST TO CLARIFY WITH THE WORDING OF PULLING FUNDS. REPRIORITIZING.

SO TECHNICALLY, IF WE WOULD SLOW DOWN ON USC AND NOT IMPLEMENT IT RIGHT AWAY, MAYBE USE LESS MONEY FOR THAT. IN THE BEGINNING, WE COULD HAVE AT THE SAME TIME CONCURRENTLY STARTED THE VALENCIA KITCHEN PROJECT AND RAN THOSE TWO AND THEN GONE FROM THERE AND SLOW THE PROCESS DOWN.

WHEN WE STARTED IT SOONER AND USC WAS ADDED AFTER WE HAD ALREADY DONE ALL OF THIS. SO REPRIORITIZING IS ACTUALLY TAKING IT AND BUMPING IT OVER OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAD PRIORITIZED. SO TECHNICALLY, MAYBE IT'S NOT PULLING IT AWAY FROM IT BECAUSE IT'S STILL ON THE LIST, BUT BUMPING IT OFF THE LIST IS ACTUALLY ACCURATE, BUT IT'S NOT TAKING $1.9 MILLION FROM A PROJECT. IT'S NOT DIVERTING THE MONEY THAT WAS SET ASIDE, NOT DIVERTED. I THINK IT'S ALL SEMANTICS. AND WE'RE GETTING A KITCHEN AT VALENCIA. THE GOOD NEWS IS WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO THE KITCHEN. WE HAVEN'T STARTED THIS PROJECT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS, AND WE'RE STARTING IT NOW AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE $43 MILLION

[03:05:04]

THAT WAS FOUND THAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THESE PROJECTS. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET GOING. IT'S GOING TO TAKE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A QUICK PROJECT, BUT WE HAVE FUNDING FOR IT. GOOD. YEAH.

OKAY. OKAY, OKAY. LET'S TAKE A VOTE TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPER FEES. ALL IN FAVOR I, I, I, 5 TO 0 WITH A I. OKAY. ON TO 22.9. I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE APPROVE THE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES

I KNOW EL DORADO HAS A KITCHEN, RIGHT? THEY MAKE THIS IS THE OTHER THREE SCHOOLS HAVE ONE. IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE. OR IS IT JUST FOR LUNCH? IT IS OLD. I HAVE A LOVELY. MY GRANDMA WENT TO VALENCIA, SO YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.

SO THEIR KITCHEN IS THE SAME ONE BUT THEY HAVE A BUT THEY HAVE A KITCHEN. THEY'RE JUST UPGRADING IT. YES. OKAY. IT'S NOT AT ALL LIKE EL DORADO. IT IS NOT REALLY A KITCHEN. IT'S JUST LIKE A FOOD LINE. THEY HAVE ONE OVEN AND THEY FEED. IT'S ALL IT'S A PORTABLE ALMOST WHERE YOU PUSH THE PEOPLE THROUGH. SO IT'S THE ONE MY GRANDMA GOT BACK IN THE DAY PROBABLY, PROBABLY IS. AND SHE WAS EXCITED BECAUSE IT WAS NEW THEN OKAY, I, I, I VOTE VOTE YES. LET'S GO. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ANYBODY WANTS TO ASK ABOUT THE KITCHEN. NO, NO. BUT THERE'S A LOVELY PRESENTATION AVAILABLE ON VIDEO THAT YOU CAN WATCH FROM LAST FROM. IS IT FROM YOU. YES. OH YOU KNOW I'M THERE.

IF IT'S YOUR PRESENTATION, I'M LOCKED IN IF MAYBE TOO IF THERE'S A DAY THAT THE TOUR IS GOING TO GO SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO LIKE FIVE DIFFERENT TOURS, WE COULD JUST KIND OF WALK THROUGH IT TOGETHER THAT I THINK ONLY TWO OF US CAN GO. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SCHEDULE THAT AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT VOTING ABOUT IT, YOU CAN WALK THROUGH IT AND NOT TALK. YEAH. NO TALKING. I MEAN, YOU GUYS WENT TO SBA TOGETHER. SO AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PULL INFO, GETTING PEOPLE TO VOTE A CERTAIN WAY, IT'S NOT A BROWN ACT VIOLATION. AND IT WOULD BE FUN. FUN. AND THEN THEY ONLY HAVE TO TELL US ONCE, OKAY, PERFECT. OKAY, I THINK THAT'S IT ALL IN ANY OTHER COMMENT? NO MORE LOVING ON MR. STEIN AND HIS GLASSES OR HIS PRESENTATION. SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO. HE'S PUTTING IT BACK ON. YEAH. LET'S GO.

OKAY. LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A COUPLE WEEKS OFF. I MISS YOU GUYS. ALL. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NEEDING THE BREAK. AND SO I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A REALLY GOOD CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.

I'M GOING TO KEEP THIS PRETTY SHORT. ONE THING THAT SOME TEACHERS HAVE COME UP TO ME ABOUT IS THEY'RE ASKING FOR, I KNOW, AND WE BROUGHT THIS UP A COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND I REMEMBER THAT, LIKE WE HAD TAKEN FROM ALL THE SCHOOL SITES AND THEN WE LIKE IMPLEMENTED AGAIN. WE ALLOWED THEM TO PURCHASE IT. BUT SOME OF THE TEACHERS ARE ASKING FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITES.

THEY'RE QUESTIONING THE FACT THAT, DO WE HAVE A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT TO CHECK STUDENTS COMPREHENSION OF READING BOOKS AT THEIR OWN LEVEL? I-READY IS ASSESSING THEIR SKILLS, BUT IT DOES NOT REINFORCE INDEPENDENT READING. AND SO THEY WOULD LIKE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY AND
