THEY'RE LIKE, WHERE'S MY SNACK BAG? THEY KNOW THAT IT'S COMING EVERY FRIDAY, AND THEY HAVE A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT DO THAT AND THEY COME TO OUR FUN RUNS, THEY COME TO OUR FIELD DAYS AND THEY VOLUNTEER.
THEY STAND OUT THERE IN THE HOT WEATHER AND DO ALL OF THE EVENTS FOR US.

AND THEY ALWAYS TREAT US TO SPECIAL THINGS TOO.
SO THEY ALWAYS PROVIDE LUNCHEONS TO OUR STAFF ALSO.

[00:15:10]
TO THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS.[H.1. 2022 Bond Summer 2023 Projects [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]
AT THIS TIME, KATIE BOWMAN.MIC] THERE WE GO. I THOUGHT MAYBE MY EARS WERE STOPPED UP.
AS WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ON BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING UP THAT ARE SMALLER PROJECTS THIS SUMMER, AS YOU KNOW, WITH BONDS, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET BIDS IN THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, WE AREN'T ALWAYS ABLE TO GIVE A TWO MEETING WARNING AS FAR AS BOND APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURES.
SO I WANTED TO KIND OF LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW MEETINGS.
THERE'LL BE ITEMS THAT ARE UNDER $50,000, WHICH OF COURSE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THERE WILL BE THINGS WITHIN NRCH LOCAL POLICY EXCEPTIONS BETWEEN $50 AND $200 THAT WE'LL UPDATE YOU SO THAT WE CAN GET MOVING ON THOSE AT A FUTURE MEETING.
AND THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE ACTUAL BIDS COMING IN THAT WE NEED YOU TO CONSIDER.
SO JUST A FEW THINGS FOR TONIGHT THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING UP.
AND I DO HAVE JOHN HUGHES HERE AND SCOTT NIVEN IS HERE AS WELL.
IF YOU HAVE DEEPER QUESTIONS SO WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OUR CMAR VENDOR, LEE LEWIS ON THE MODULAR BUILDING PROJECT AT FRANCISCO AS WE WORK TO COMBINE THE SCHOOLS, THE PARTNER ELEMENTARIES FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND WE DON'T NEED THAT ON THE SCREEN.
OKAY, GREAT. I JUST WANTED TO LET HIM KNOW THAT, I JUST NOTICED IT WAS THERE.
SO WE ARE LETTING LEE LEWIS HANDLE ALL OF THE INSTALLATION AND OVERSIGHT OF THE MODULAR BUILDINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PUT ON THE SITE AT FRANCISCO.
WE HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH THE CITY, WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH VENDORS AND WE WILL HAVE, AS I MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS MEETING, WE'LL HAVE AN EIGHT CLASSROOM MODULAR BUILDING AND A TEN CLASSROOM MODULAR BUILDING.
AND WE'RE WORKING ON A TRAFFIC STUDY RIGHT NOW.
SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WE'VE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THIS AT LENGTH.
BUT BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET STARTED ON THIS BEFORE WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE ALL OF THE PROJECTS PRICED, WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU A CMAR AMENDMENT FOR A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE JUST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THESE MODULARS AND WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE THAT AT EITHER APRIL OR MAY.
AND WE'LL PUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF THE LEASE PAYMENTS FOR THESE MODULARS IN THAT INITIAL PIECE SO THAT WE CAN CLOSE THAT OUT THIS SUMMER AND EMPTY THAT CONTRACT.
THEN THE REST OF THE LEASE PAYMENTS WILL BE IN AND ALSO THE THE REMOVAL OF THOSE MODULARS, ONCE THE BUILDING IS COMPLETE, WILL BE IN THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE BUILDING. THAT WILL BRING TO YOU PROBABLY SOME TIME IN THE FALL.
SO I DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WE'VE MENTIONED IT BEFORE, WE DID BUDGET HALF $1 MILLION IN THE BOND BUDGET FOR THIS FOR THE PORTABLE BUILDINGS, BUT THAT WAS WHEN WE THOUGHT THOSE WERE GOING TO BE OVER AT THE OTHER SITE.
SO WE ARE GENERATING INTEREST ON THOSE FUNDS THAT WILL HELP US WITH SOME OF THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS.
BUT WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU.
A FEW OTHER THINGS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TONIGHT ON YOUR AGENDA AND THE CONSENT.
YOU'LL HAVE THE MOVE CONTRACTS.
WE ALSO WILL BE HAVING TO EMPTY THE SMITH BUILDING, THE SMITH ELEMENTARY.
THEN THE MOVERS WILL COME BACK AND HELP US GET EVERYTHING MOVED INTO THE MODULAR BUILDING.
SO THOSE ARE ON YOUR CONSENT ITEMS TONIGHT.
WE ALSO HAVE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT.
[00:20:02]
SO AT MULLENDORE, THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE BELOW $50,000.SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.
THANK GOODNESS THE SMITH ELEMENTARY WILL PROBABLY BE A LITTLE OVER $50,000.
WAS IT END OF APRIL? WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING SOME OF THAT ASBESTOS ABATEMENT? ABATEMENT AT MULLENDORE WILL START MAY 3RD.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S THE END OF MAY, BUT WE'LL GET THAT IN BEFORE THE DEMOLITION.
RIGHT NOW, THE BID FOR THE BOB GRIGGS HIGH SCHOOL IS OUT ON THE STREET.
SO WE'LL BE EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON THAT.
RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ON OUR SCHEDULE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET STARTED ON THAT THIS SUMMER.
AND JOHN HAS SOME DETAILS ON IT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
SO WE HAVE OUR JOB ORDER CONTRACTORS THAT WE'VE USED IN THE PAST.
WE NEED SOME PEOPLE WE CAN TRUST THAT WILL HELP OVERSEE THAT.
WE'VE GOT QUITE A FEW ISSUES IN THE KITCHEN.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT ELEVATOR CONTRACT THIS SUMMER.
WE'RE GOING TO BE USING SOUTHWEST ELEVATOR, WHO WE'VE BEEN USING INSIDE THE DISTRICT.
IT'S BEEN A REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP.
WE'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH SOME OF THE PREVIOUS VENDORS THAT WE'VE USED.
IT SHOULD RUN US AROUND $125,000.
SO THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE CH EXCEPTION.
SO THAT WILL BE WE'LL BE GETTING STARTED ON THAT APRIL 1ST.
AND THEN THE LAST THING WE'LL HAVE, APRIL OR MAY WILL HAVE AN UPDATED TIMELINE.
AND THEN OF COURSE, STARTING IN MAY, AS REQUESTED, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE UPDATES ONE MONTH FROM AN ARCHITECT, ONE MONTH FROM A CONTRACTOR, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE OUR BOND OVERSIGHT AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME ROTATIONS SO THOSE DIFFERENT VENDORS CAN COME AND GIVE YOU SOME UPDATES.
SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD THIS EVENING.
I KNOW THAT'S QUITE A LOT OF INFORMATION.
I'M GOING TO RECAP THIS FOR YOU IN NEXT WEEK'S UPDATE IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS.
MOVING ALONG NOW TO THE FINE ARTS ATHLETIC COMPLEX FIELD LIGHTING REPLACEMENT, KATIE BOWMAN.
[H.2. Fine Arts/Athletics Complex (FAAC) Field Lighting Replacement [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.WE HAVE BEEN REVIEWING AND WAS PART OF OUR BOND INITIATIVES THIS YEAR, THE LIGHTING AT THE FAAC.
WE'VE INVITED OUR VENDOR HELLAS HERE TONIGHT.
WE HAVE WAYNE HUNTSINGER AND RANDY BULLOCK.
THEY HAVE A PROPOSAL AND THIS IS JUST INFORMATION FOR THIS EVENING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
SO WE WE HAVE A FEW SLIDES FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH.
I'M WAYNE HUNTSINGER. I'M WITH HELLAS CONSTRUCTION.
THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE LIGHTING DIVISION CAME TO SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT ABOUT YOUR BIRDVILLE STADIUM UPGRADE FOR THE LIGHTING AND HOPEFULLY ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS.
AND WHAT YOU SEE UP THERE IS A PHOTOMETRIC DESIGN WITH A NEW LED COOPER SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALMOST DOUBLE YOUR OUTPUT OF OF WHAT'S AT YOUR STADIUM NOW USING ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT AND THAT'S A 100 FOOT CANDLES, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, TWICE WHAT A TYPICAL UIL STADIUM WOULD BE.
[00:25:03]
BUT FOR A FACILITY LIKE THIS, IT'S IT'S UP AND COMING THAT EVERYBODY'S MOVING TOWARDS LIGHT LEVELS LIKE THIS.AND YOU COULD EASILY ACHIEVE THAT WITH WITH THIS RETROFIT.
ALL OF YOUR STRUCTURE SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION.
AND YOU MAY BE REPLACING BULBS EVERY YEAR.
AND THIS THIS IS BEING PHASED OUT, THE METAL HALIDE, OLD FIXTURES.
SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR YOU GUYS TO TO THINK ABOUT AN LED UPGRADE.
IT'S THE PROJECTION FOR THESE FIXTURES IS 90,000 HOURS, WHICH IF YOU DID THE MATH IT'S YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOU CAN PROBABLY I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT USAGE ON YOUR FIELD, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN 17 TO 20 YEARS WORTH OF OF NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIGHTING ANYMORE, PLUS BRINGING YOURSELF UP INTO THE, YOU KNOW, INTO THIS THIS DECADE OF WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR SPORTS.
THEY'VE CONTINUED TO RISE EVERY YEAR.
AND I THINK YOU'D BE ONE OF THE LEADERS IN THE AREA BY HAVING HAVING DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO YOUR STADIUM AND IT'S AN EASY IT'S EASY TO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU WOULD SEE EVERYBODY, SPECTATORS AND PLAYERS WOULD SEE THE APPRECIATION.
IT NOT ONLY JUST SPEAKING TO THE TECHNOLOGY A LITTLE BIT, THE METAL HALIDE, OLDER FIXTURES, IF YOU EVER WERE TO TURN A LIGHT OFF AND THE SYSTEM HAD ALREADY HEATED UP, YOU COULD COUNT ON ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES OF BEING WITHOUT LIGHT.
AND SO NOW WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY, THE LIGHTS ARE EASILY TURNED ON AND OFF.
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST BASIC FEATURES OF THE LIGHTS.
AND SO I THINK THAT'S FOR ANY FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PERSON, THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG PLUS TO HAVE THAT PEACE OF MIND THAT YOU COULD SHUT THEM OFF FROM WHEREVER YOU'RE AT. AND SO THIS IS JUST A RENDERING OF KIND OF WHAT IT'S PROBABLY SHOWS A PRETTY GOOD RENDITION OF WHAT WHAT YOU COULD SEE ON YOUR FIELD.
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND MOVE THROUGH THE.
YEP. SO THIS IS JUST THE SAME JUST DIFFERENT VIEWS FROM THAT.
YOU'RE PROBABLY BELOW 50 FOOT CANDLES NOW.
AND NOT ONLY DO YOU YOU YOU BRING THE LIGHT UP DOUBLE, BUT YOU MAKE IT SUCH A WHITE LIGHT THAT IT'S MUCH EASIER ON THE EYE. IT'S NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE YELLOW LIGHT THAT THAT YOU'RE USED TO IN THE PAST.
YOU CAN SEE THE BALL MUCH BETTER.
AND THE SPECTATORS CAN SEE THE THE PLAYERS MUCH BETTER.
THIS IS AN OPTION THAT WE GAVE YOU FOR COLOR LIGHTING.
ONE OF THE HOTTEST TRENDS RIGHT NOW IS IS BEING ABLE TO PROJECT LIGHT THAT'S COLOR OF YOUR MASCOT OR THE SCHOOL OUT ONTO THE FIELD.
AND WE GAVE YOU AN OPTION TO DO THIS.
AND I THINK YOU'D PROBABLY BE ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS IN THE AREA.
BUT THERE ARE IT IS CATCHING ON QUITE QUICKLY.
AND WE JUST COMPLETED A THE STADIUM AT TARLETON STATE UNIVERSITY.
THE PLAYERS JUST WENT CRAZY AND ALL THE FANS, YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH A GREAT FAN EXPERIENCE.
AND NOT ONLY CAN YOU PUT THE COLOR OF THE THE MASCOT OUT ON THE FIELD, BUT YOU CAN YOU CAN HAVE NATIONAL ANTHEM SCENES AND, YOU KNOW, OTHER JUST WHATEVER YOUR CREATIVITY BRINGS YOU TO, BUT IT'S PRETTY ENDLESS.
YOU CAN TUNE THE COLORS TO TO WHICHEVER YOU LIKE.
AND WHEN WE DO THE RETROFIT, WE WE PROVIDE A TRAINING.
AND TEACH PROBABLY THE IT GROUP, WHICH USED TO BE FACILITIES.
MAYBE IT'S MAYBE IT WILL BE THE FACILITIES GROUP, BUT ITS NOW INVOLVED IN A LOT OF THAT STUFF.
[00:30:06]
SO WE'LL TEACH THEM HOW TO CHANGE ANYTHING THEY NEED TO ON THE TUNING OF THE COLORS OR, YOU KNOW, IF YOU REALLY, REALLY PUT SOME TIME IN IT, YOU CAN PICK SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY PROGRAM THE LIGHTS TO KIND OF DANCE WITH THAT AND ACTUALLY PASS OVER THAT FEATURE. BUT STANDARD WITH OUR RETROFIT, WE HAVE THE THE ABILITY TO WE CALL IT DYNAMIC SCENES, BUT BASICALLY THERE'S IF YOU SCORE A TOUCHDOWN, YOU CAN YOU CAN FLASH THE LIGHTS AND DIFFERENT RANDOM SCENES.AND YOU KNOW, THERE IT'S REALLY ENDLESS.
YOU CAN CONTROL ONE FIXTURE AT A TIME.
AND THERE'S NO MORE WAITING ON THE LIGHTS TO COME BACK ON.
THANK YOU. SO IF YOU'VE SEEN YOUR COVER SHEET, THE PRICE FOR THE BASE LEVEL, THE WHITE TOTAL WITH 100 FOOT CANDLES, IS $571,557.
THE ADDITIONAL FULL COLOR TO GO TO THE COLORED LIGHTING IS ANOTHER $71.
SO THE TOTAL PROJECT COST THE BOARD WAS INTERESTED IN THE FULL PACKAGE IS AROUND $643,000.
SO AND THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATION ITEM.
WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR HELLAS OR.
WHAT SO LED SAVES MONEY? WHAT TYPE OF ENERGY SAVINGS DID WE GET WITH LED LIGHTS AS COMPARED TO THE HALOGENS OR WHATEVER? SO TYPICALLY YOU'RE CUTTING YOUR YOUR COST IN HALF.
IT'S REALLY 0.58, BUT IT'S FOR A STADIUM THAT LARGE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S QUITE A BIT OF SAVINGS.
IS IT ONE YEAR? SO THE STANDARD INDUSTRY WARRANTY IS TEN YEARS FOR A RETROFIT.
BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, THE THE PRODUCT IS PROJECTED TO GO 90,000 HOURS OF USE.
IT'S PROBABLY AN AVERAGE OF 17 TO 20 YEARS.
HOW MANY YEARS DO WE HAVE? IT'S YOU DON'T HAVE ANY YEARS.
YOU WILL BE REPETITIVELY GOING OUT AND REPLACING BULBS AND THAT WILL BE HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND.
THE METAL HALIDE IS JUST BEING PHASED OUT.
OKAY. AND YOU SAID THAT BEFORE.
AND I THINK THAT'S I THINK THAT'S A GOOD SELL FOR US TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
YES, SIR. ANYONE ANYONE ELSE? I NOTICED THAT THE THE FIRST SET OF LIGHTS THAT YOU SHOWED WAS A RICHLAND TOUCHDOWN, RIGHT? YEAH, THE BLUE LIGHTS. SKIP.
I THINK IT'S. I THINK I LOVE THE IDEA OF OF SCHOOL SPIRIT, YOU KNOW, AND WE ARE ONE DISTRICT WITH THREE COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOLS AND WITH THREE VERY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES AND PLAYING IN ONE STADIUM.
IN A PERFECT WORLD, RICHLAND WILL SCORE ONE THIRD OF ALL THE TOUCHDOWNS THERE, RIGHT? DR. STINSON, IF 90,000 AND AN AVERAGE FOOTBALL GAME BY THREE HOURS, THAT'S 30,000 FOOTBALL GAMES.
AND THEN I REALLY LIKED YOUR PITCH ABOUT, I MEAN, I'M A FOOTBALL GUY, EVERYBODY KNOWS IT, BUT I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU MENTIONED THE STUFF ABOUT THE BAND TOO, AND BEING ABLE TO SPOTLIGHT LIKE A PLAYER OR ANY OTHER KIND OF PERFORMANCES THAT WE DO, YOU KNOW, OUT IN THAT FIELD AND WHATNOT.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE FOR EVERYBODY THAT USES THE FACT.
I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, THE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE SHOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF UPKEEP OF THE FIELD, UPKEEP OF THE STANDS, UPKEEP OF THE SEATS.
[00:35:04]
AND SO YOU'VE MADE THE STADIUM WHAT IT IS IN TERMS OF BRINGING IT UP, BRINGING IT UP TO SPEED FOR TODAY, BECAUSE I THINK IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IT'S FROM 1999, RIGHT? SO THE IDEA THAT YOU WOULD UPGRADE THE LIGHTS TO ME MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.IT KIND OF WRAPS UP THE WHOLE PACKAGE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VISITOR'S SIDE, WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE TAKE CARE OF WHAT THE OUR COMMUNITY HAS GIVEN US, AND THIS WOULD FINISH IT OFF PRETTY MUCH.
UNTIL WE DECIDE TO PUT THE ROOF ON IT [LAUGHTER].
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. LET'S MOVE ALONG TO THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
[H.3. Design Development Phase for the Replacement of Mullendore Elementary School [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]
KATIE BOWMAN.YES, SIR. WE HAVE JOHN KLEIN FROM VLK HERE THIS EVENING.
WE'RE EXCITED THAT WE'RE AT THIS POINT IN THE BOND PROCESS WITH MULLENDORE.
STINSON. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD LIKE KATIE HAD SAID MY NAME IS JOHN KLEIN WITH VLK ARCHITECTS AND WE'RE EXCITED TO GO OVER THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
I DO HAVE A FEW PEOPLE HERE WITH ME TO HELP ME OUT IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.
CHAD DAVIS, HE'S OUR EDUCATIONAL PLANNER.
IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THE TEA, I ALSO HAVE PHILIP VARGHESE.
HE'S A CIVIL ENGINEER IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SITE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE COVER, I GUESS EARLY ON IN OUR DISCUSSIONS STARTED WORK ON THIS EARLY DECEMBER, IT WAS DECIDED THAT WE WOULD PROTOTYPE CHENEY HILLS ELEMENTARY.
SO THIS IS A VERSION OF CHENEY HILLS ELEMENTARY AND SO WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THAT.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, OF COURSE, WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE MEETINGS THAT WE'VE MET WITH, OF COURSE, DISTRICT STAFF LEADERSHIP TO TALK THROUGH THE DESIGN AND MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE MADE TO THIS BUILDING AND TO THE SITE.
ALSO INCLUDED THERE IS THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS WITH AN EXISTING PARK ON THIS SITE.
THEY'VE BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART OF ALSO THE MEETING.
WE'VE HAD THREE, FOUR MEETINGS WITH THE CITY, TALKING THROUGH THE PARK THERE AND HOW THAT RELATES TO THE NEW MULLENDORE REBUILD THAT WE ARE DOING.
SO I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM ALSO.
JUST REAL QUICKLY, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS TEA FACILITY STANDARDS.
SO REALLY, I'M JUST GOING TO LET YOU KNOW THE WAY WITH THE 2021, THE WAY YOU HAVE TO TO COME UP WITH MEETING THE NEW STANDARDS IS THERE'S EITHER A QUANTITATIVE OPTION OR A QUALITATIVE OPTION.
ONCE WE LEARNED THAT WE WERE GOING TO PROTOTYPE CHENEY HILLS, TASKED CHAD AND HIS STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT CAMPUS, SEE IF WE'RE MEETING THE STANDARDS OF THE NEW TEA AND CAME BACK.
AND YES, WE MEET THOSE STANDARDS WE'RE AT WE USE THE QUANTITATIVE METHOD AND WE'RE AT FLEXIBILITY LEVEL FOUR. I'M NOT GOING TO READ THROUGH ALL OF THOSE FLEXIBILITY LEVELS, BUT THAT IS THE MOST FLEXIBLE VERSION OF THAT YOU CAN DESIGN A SCHOOL WITH, AND SO I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
MOVING ON TO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, I'M GOING TO SPEND PROBABLY A MAJORITY OF THE TIME TALKING THROUGH THE SITE AS THIS IS THE MOST OF WHERE THE CHANGES ARE SINCE IT IS, OF COURSE, WE'RE PUTTING AN EXISTING PROTOTYPE BUILDING ONTO AN EXISTING SITE.
TO ORIENT Y'ALL DO THIS OUT OF THE WAY.
[00:40:09]
THE EXISTING KAY GRANGER PARK IS LOCATED HERE.AND ALSO TO LET YOU KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHERE THE BUILDING IS GOING, THE EXISTING MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY AS IT SITS RIGHT HERE, IS KIND OF IN THIS PLAN RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN THERE'S A FEW OTHER WINGS THAT COME OFF OF IT.
FRONT DOOR FOR THAT SCHOOL IS LOCATED OFF OF FLORY STREET.
OUR NEW FRONT DOOR FOR MULLENDORE WOULD BE SITED SO THAT IT'S OFF OF MANOR STREET.
SO WE STARTED LOOKING AT LAYOUTS OF HOW THIS BUILDING MIGHT BE ORIENTED ON THE SITE.
ADMINISTRATION ALSO ACADEMIC AREA ALONG THIS FRONT SIDE WANTED TO TRY AND OPTIMIZE THAT AS BEING NORTH FACING GLASS SO YOU DON'T GET THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT ON IT.
ALSO YOU GET A LOT BETTER NATURAL LIGHT THAT COMES OUT.
SO THAT'S VERY FROM A SUSTAINABILITY ASPECT AND ENERGY SAVING ASPECT.
IT'S A BIG BENEFIT TO THE DISTRICT.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST DECISIONS THAT WAS MADE.
AND THEN WE KIND OF LOOKED AT DIFFERENT OPTIONS OF WHETHER THE BUILDING WOULD BE IN THIS OPTION AS WE'VE, WE HAVE IT NOW OR MIRRORED SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED THROUGH STATED THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE CAFETERIA WAS ON THIS SIDE OF THE SITE.
SO ORIGINALLY WE ALSO HAD LOOKED AT THIS SIMILAR, I GUESS, SITE PARKING AND PAVING LAYOUT TO THE WAY CHENEY HILLS IS THAT YOU HAVE QUITE A BIT OF PARKING OUT IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
WHAT THAT DID WAS IT PUSHED THIS BUILDING DOWN INTO THE EXISTING KAY GRANGER PARK.
ONE OF OUR INITIAL FIRST MEETINGS WITH THE CITY.
WE TALKED TO THEM AND IT WE WE FOUND OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT KAY GRANGER AND HOW SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE NAMESAKE FOR THIS BUILDING. AND IT WAS ASKED OF US TO LOOK IF WE WERE ABLE TO PRESERVE AS MUCH OF THE PARK AS POSSIBLE.
WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, CAME BACK WITH SOME OPTIONS AND LOOKED THROUGH THOSE OPTIONS WITH THE DISTRICT AND WITH THE CITY. SO WITH THOSE MEETINGS WE LANDED UPON AGAIN, WE PROBABLY HAD ABOUT 7 OR 8 DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
WE LANDED UPON THIS OPTION, WHICH WE FELT LIKE WAS THE THE BEST.
IT CHECKED THE MOST POSITIVE BOXES.
AND SO KIND OF WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LAYOUT OF HOW THAT WOULD WORK.
WE HAVE A PARENT LOOP HERE ON THE NORTH SIDE AND THEN ALSO A PARENT AND BUS LOOP THAT IS INTEGRATED HERE OFF OF FLORY STREET.
BUT WE'LL I'LL JUST WALK THROUGH THIS SCENARIO.
AND THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER PARENT LOOP AGAIN, GETTING A LOT OF THE STACKING OF THE CARS OFF OF THE EXISTING SITE AND THAT COULD BE USED FOR THE PRE K AND FIRST GRADE STUDENTS ALSO HAVE A BUS LOOP.
WHAT WE DID FIND OUT IN TALKING WITH STAFF AND THE DISTRICT IS THAT CURRENTLY THERE ARE TWO SPED BUSSES AND ONE REGULAR SCHOOL BUS THAT DROP OFF AT MULLENDORE.
THE STAFF HAD RECOMMENDED THAT SINCE WE HAVE TWO SPED BUSSES, IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BE DROPPED OFF AT THE SPED WING, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IN PURPLE.
AND SO ALSO AS PART OF THIS, WE WERE THINKING, OKAY, THE BUSSES, THEY SHOW UP ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE PARENTS ARE ABLE TO DROP OFF.
AND SO WHAT WE DESIGNED THIS FOR IS THAT WE COULD HAVE PARENTS THAT COULD COME IN STACK AND WE WOULD EITHER GATE OR CONE THIS OFF, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE THOSE ONES THAT GET THERE BEFORE THE SCHOOL BUSSES GET THERE.
[00:45:09]
FOR STUDENT DROP OFF ON THIS.AND ALSO SAME WAY IT WOULD WORK FOR PICKUP IN THE AFTERNOON.
IF IN THE FUTURE THERE ARE MORE BUSSES THAT START TO BE NEEDED FOR MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY, WE DO HAVE AN OPTION WHERE WE HAVE A FIRE LANE THAT COMES THROUGH ON THE EAST SIDE THAT BUSSES COULD COME THROUGH AND DROP OFF ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
AND THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED THAT THIS WAY WOULD BE WOULD BE BEST FOR SHORT TERM.
BUT WE DO HAVE OPTIONS AND FLEXIBILITY THAT'S BUILT INTO THE WAY THIS IS DESIGNED.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO KEEPING THE EXISTING PARKING AND EXISTING PARK AND PAVILION INTACT IN HERE.
KIND OF THE STATS, WE WERE ABLE TO GET APPROXIMATELY 166 PARKING SPACES ON SITE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CITY DID ALLOW US TO DO IS HAVE PARKING OFF OF THE STREET.
CURRENTLY THAT'S HOW A LOT OF THEIR PARKING FOR THAT SCHOOL IS FUNCTIONING.
AND SO WE'RE KEEPING AND ADDING ON TO THAT.
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO PARKING WITHIN THE THE LOOPS AND PARKING LOTS HERE.
ACTUALLY, WE HAVE MORE THAN EVEN CHENEY HILLS ELEMENTARY WITH THIS LAYOUT AND DESIGN.
AND YOU CAN SEE ALMOST FOUR TIMES AS MUCH AS WHAT'S ON AT THE EXISTING MULLENDORE AND THEN QUITE A BIT OF STACKING THE NORTH PART OF THIS DRIVE, WE HAVE 22 CARS STACKING AND ON THIS SIDE WE HAVE ABOUT 23 CARS STACKING.
SO WE ARE GOING TO PLAN TO USE THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND, BUT WE DO HAVE OPTIONS TO ADD A PLAYGROUND.
AND THEN FINALLY WE WILL HAVE IT SO THAT THE EXISTING PARK WILL BE DIVIDED OFF BETWEEN THE SCHOOL GROUNDS AND THE PARKS.
SO AT NIGHT WHEN THIS PARK IS OPENED UP, THEY ARE ABLE TO ACTUALLY COME OVER AND SHUT OFF AND GATE OFF TO THE EXISTING SCHOOL SITE.
SO WITH THAT, I'LL MOVE ON TO THE FLOOR PLAN.
I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF TIME, LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS LET'S SEE.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE EVER HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE, BUT I'M A BIG PROPONENT OF OF STUDENTS, ONE THAT THEY BE ABLE TO GET INTO SCHOOL WITHOUT GETTING RAIN ON THEM. THAT'S A LONG PATH ON THAT LOOP TO INTO THE SCHOOL.
I MEAN, I REALIZE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE TIME.
BUT THEN THE SECOND THING IS, IS IS WHEN THEY'RE WAITING AT THE END OF THE DAY AND STAFF HAVING TO WAIT FOR PARENTS TO PICK UP AND IDENTIFY YES, THAT'S YOUR THAT'S YOUR GUARDIAN OR WHATEVER. I DON'T WANT THEM STANDING OUT IN THE SUN AND RAIN AGAIN.
THAT'S JUST THAT MAKES EVERYBODY MISERABLE.
SO ARE YOU ALL INCLUDING THAT TO MAKE SURE.
OKAY. YEAH. SO IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH CHENEY CHENEY HILLS OH, YEAH, WE HAVE.
OH, I WAS A BIG PROPONENT FOR THAT.
SO WE MADE SURE IT'S WIDE ENOUGH SO THAT WE CAN GET OUT.
JOE ANOTHER THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
AND WE WORKED A LONG TIME AND HAD LONG DISCUSSIONS.
IF YOU'LL NOTICE, THE RED IS THE CAFETERIA.
AND, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU BRING YOUR KIDDOS OR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YOUR KIDDOS TO THE CAFETERIA TO READY TO BE PICKED UP IN THE PARENT LOOP.
AND THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS THAT THEY CAN COME DIRECTLY OUT OF THE CAFETERIA TO JUST ABOUT THE END.
SO YOU CAN GET A LOT OF STACKING IN BEFORE AS YOU'RE PICKED UP SO YOU CAN COME DIRECTLY OUT OF THE CAFETERIA, EITHER A DROP OFF OR PICK UP. AND THEN OVER ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, THE PURPLE AND THE BLUE.
[00:50:06]
RIGHT THERE SO THE KIDDOS DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL VERY FAR.AND THEY WORKED REALLY HARD TO ENSURE THAT THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
YEAH. AND I WILL I DON'T THINK I ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THE LOCATION OF ALL OF THE ITEMS ON HERE.
AND THEN SPECIAL ED AND PRE-K, KINDERGARTEN, FIRST GRADE, AND THEN THE STORM SHELTER HERE IN GREEN.
TWO COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS REGARDING ONE, MACKEY CREEK, HAS THE CITY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT NEEDING TO DO ANY CIVIL IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT AT ALL? WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING AS OF THE 3 OR 4 MEETINGS WE'VE HAD WITH THE CITY.
OKAY. IT'S A CONCRETE LINED CHANNEL WHICH THEY DON'T DO ANYMORE AND I'M SURE THE CAPACITY IS THERE.
BUT I DON'T WANT A SURPRISE LATER ON WHEN SOME ENGINEER.
LET'S BRING OUR ENGINEER UP AND HE CAN COMMENT ON.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ON THAT? SO WE SORRY, PHILIP VERGHESE WITH TEAGUE NALL AND PERKINS, WE GOT THE MODELS, THE STORM DRAIN MODELS FROM THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS.
WE'VE EVALUATED IT AND WE'VE PROVIDED WE'RE PREPARING A DRAINAGE REPORT FOR THAT.
SO THEY HAVE NOT ASKED US TO IMPROVE THE CHANNEL AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
OKAY. THAT IS CORRECT. JUST BE CAUTIOUS WITH THAT.
YES, SIR. IF THEY SOMETIMES NO OFFENSE, ENGINEERS CAN GET A LITTLE OVERZEALOUS ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED AND PUT IN THERE, YOU KNOW, AND THEY THINK THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE THE DEEPEST POCKETS IN THE WORLD AND WE DON'T.
IF YOU GET A LOGJAM THERE, PLEASE LET US KNOW EARLY IN THE GAME.
QUESTION NUMBER TWO, THE PARKING LOT THERE JUST EAST OF KAY GRANGER PARK.
THAT'S MAINTAINED BY THE CITY RIGHT NOW.
IS THAT A CITY LOT OR IS THAT IS THAT THE DISTRICTS? I KNOW THE LAND.
I CAN'T REMEMBER. I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT.
I'M SURE WHEN YOU LOOK IT UP, FRIENDS STAY FRIENDS LONGER IF WE GET IT IN BLACK AND WHITE NOW BECAUSE WE'RE DOING A LOT OF BRAND NEW IMPROVEMENTS AND SOMEBODY'S GOING TO COMPLAIN, WHY IS THAT PARKING LOT SO CRAPPY.
WHY DIDN'T Y'ALL FIX IT? I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT'S THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT.
OR IF IT'S OURS, PLAN FOR IT NOW.
I'LL LOOK THAT UP. I'VE GONE BACK THROUGH THAT PARK AGREEMENT.
I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE PARKING LOT.
I KNOW OUR TEACHERS EVEN PARK THERE NOW.
THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEY WILL STILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WE'LL HAVE A NICE GATE WITH A CARD READER.
[INAUDIBLE] EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE BRAND NEW.
NOW YOU'RE ADDING A BRAND NEW FIRE LANE, WHICH IS ONE SMART THAT'S NEEDED.
NOW, REMEMBER, THEY ARE GOING TO BE STARTING NEXT YEAR EXPANDING GLENVIEW DRIVE THEY'LL BE GOING BACK INTO THAT.
THEY'RE GOING FROM 26 TO VANCE RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS THE RED LIGHT BY THE BANK.
AND THEN FROM THE NEXT WILL BE FROM VANCE ALL THE WAY TO [INAUDIBLE].
SO THEY'VE GOT SOME TIME TO MAKE SURE.
I HOPE THEY'RE FINISHED BEFORE WE GET FINISHED.
YEAH, I BELIEVE THEY'RE ABOUT TO START CONSTRUCTION LATER THIS SUMMER IS WHAT THEY SAID.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THE PLANS DONE ON THAT PART OF IT.
ON THAT PART. PART OF IT, YES.
NOW, THAT CITY OWNED BUILDING IS BASICALLY EMPTY.
AS YOU LOOK AT THAT, THEY NEED IT FOR THE PARK NOW.
WELL, IT'S FOR THE PARK, BUT IT'S ALSO FOR THE FORMER SENIOR CITIZENS.
RIGHT. WE ACTUALLY TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THAT.
WE WERE HOPING WE COULD HAVE A PLACE TO PICK UP STUDENTS FOR SHUTTLE OVER TO RICHLAND ELEMENTARY.
AND THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO BE USING THAT FOR ALL OF THE MATERIALS FOR THE STREET.
AND THEY COULDN'T LET US USE THE ECCLES CENTER BECAUSE WE APPROACHED THEM ON THAT.
YES. AND WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE FUTURE, RIGHT.
I GOT YOU. I GOT YOU. BUT RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, THIS HAS BEEN OUR PARKING LOT.
AND BUT I CERTAINLY WILL LOOK THAT AGREEMENT UP AND SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT.
I DON'T THINK THE DISTRICT BUILT IT.
[INAUDIBLE] LIKE I SAID LET'S GET IT CLEAR NOW BECAUSE I DON'T WANT 11TH HOUR [INAUDIBLE] SAY Y'ALL SHOULD HAVE REPAID THAT.
WITH THAT AMOUNT OF NEW PARKING WILL WE EVEN NEED TO USE IT?
[00:55:11]
YEAH. I MEAN, FOR SPECIAL EVENTS AND OVERFLOW, IT MIGHT BE USED, YOU KNOW? AND LIKE I THINK SOMEBODY SAID THAT CURRENTLY THE TEACHERS ARE USING THAT LOT YEAH. THANK YOU.ARE WE READY TO MOVE FORWARD? SURE. YEAH. I'M NOT GOING TO HIT ON THE FLOOR PLANS ALL THAT MUCH.
YOU KNOW, LIKE WE SAID, WE'RE DOING A PROTOTYPE OF MULLENDORE.
I'M GOING TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS, SO I'M GOING TO USE.
ACTUALLY, I WON'T USE THAT IF I CAN GET BACK TO WHERE I'M SHOWING THIS.
SO OF COURSE WE'VE GOT THE MAIN ENTRY HERE.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHENEY HILLS AND MULLENDORE IS THAT WE ARE MIRRORING THIS.
AND SO YOUR CAFETERIA IS OVER ON YOUR PLAN RIGHT HAND SIDE HERE YOU'VE GOT THE ADMINISTRATION, ACADEMIC WINGS, TWO STORY STORM SHELTER, GYMNASIUM AND CAFETERIA AND KITCHEN, AND THEN THE LEARNING COMMONS THERE IN THE CENTER.
YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.
WE'VE MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO THE ACADEMIC WING BASED OFF OF OUR MEETINGS WITH THE STAFF.
WE'VE INCORPORATED THOSE INTO THE FLOOR PLANS.
ALSO, I'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH THE SPED DIRECTOR.
THEY DO HAVE DIFFERENT SPED PROGRAMS ON THIS CAMPUS THAN AT CHENEY.
SO WE DID GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT THE SPACES FOR THEM AND HAVE TAILORED IT FOR THEIR NEEDS HERE AT THAT CAMPUS OR AT THIS CAMPUS . ACADEMIC ADMINISTRATION AREA.
PRETTY MUCH THE SAME CONTROLLED ENTRY ENTRANCE INTO THE RECEPTION AREA.
ONE THOUGHT AND COMMENT THAT CAME OUT OF CHENEY HILLS WAS THEY DO GET A LOT OF PARENTS THAT HAVE KIDS WHEN THEY'RE WAITING THAT ASK TO USE THE RESTROOM.
THE WAY THE PLAN WAS SET UP, THE RESTROOM WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS DOOR BACK HERE.
AND SO WE'VE ACCOMMODATED THEM BY HAVING A DOOR COMING OUT INTO THE RECEPTION AREA SO THAT THEY COULD BE USED BY GUESTS AND NOT HAVING TO LET THEM INTO THE REST OF THE BUILDING.
CHENEY HILLS HAD STAIRS OUT IN FRONT THREE STEPS.
SO WE'RE TAKING THOSE OFF AND JUST HAVING STEPS ON THE SIDE AS YOU ENTER THE PLATFORM OR STAGE.
AND THEN WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT STRETCHING THE BUILDING BY TWO FEET AND ADDING A LITTLE BIT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE INTO THAT TO GET US A LITTLE BIT LARGER SQUARE FOOTAGE WITHIN THE CAFETERIA. STORM SHELTER IS STAYING THE SAME THERE IN THE GREEN, WHICH IS THE GYMNASIUM, HOLDS THE CAPACITY OF ALL THE STUDENTS AND STAFF FOR THAT CAMPUS AND FLIP THROUGH THE ACADEMIC AREAS.
AND SO WE WENT THROUGH WITH STAFF AND CABINET, TALKED THROUGH FROM AN INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE, THREE DIFFERENT CONCEPTUAL OPTIONS LANDED ON THIS ONE, WHICH IS A CAMPFIRE THEME, MORE OF A NATURAL FEEL THEME USING WOODS, OF COURSE, TREE LOOK, SO FORTH.
SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE SCHOOL LIKE THAT.
ANOTHER VIEW LOOKING OVER IN THE LEARNING COMMONS, THE TEAMING AREA, SIMILAR CONCEPT, GOING MORE TO THE EARTH TONES THAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE ALSO HAVE THE BANDING IN DIFFERENT COLORS.
SO THE WAY CHENEY WORKS, IT'S A LITTLE MORE SUBTLE, BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT COLORS THAT DESIGNATE EACH OF THE FLOORS AREAS OF THE ACADEMIC WINGS.
SO THIS ONE WE'RE SHOWING AS ORANGE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT OTHER COLORS, PURPLE, BLUE, OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WILL DESIGNATE THE OTHER FLOORS AND WINGS OF THE ACADEMIC AREA.
SO LOOKING BACK THE OPPOSITE WAY.
AND THEN THIS IS AN EXTERIOR VIEW OF MULLENDORE, OF COURSE, SIMILAR TO CHENEY.
WE'RE CHANGING UP A FEW THINGS.
[01:00:01]
OF COURSE WE'RE GOING WITH MULLENDORE GREEN IN LIEU OF THE BLUE FOR THE FIBER CEMENT PANELS THERE IN THE FRONT AND ENDS OF THE BUILDING.GOING WITH A BUFF COLORED BRICK, MORE IN THE EARTH TONE AND THEN GOING WITH A DARK STOREFRONT AND ALUMINUM PANEL SYSTEM FOR THE TO GIVE THE ACCENTS ON THE SCHOOL . HERE'S AN ELEVATION OF THE ACADEMIC WING AT CHENEY BETWEEN THE WINDOWS.
WE HAVE KIND OF A DIFFERENT COLOR FIBER CEMENT PANEL.
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK WITH JUST A DIFFERENT COLOR FACE BRICK TO DIFFERENTIATE THOSE LITTLE PUNCHES BETWEEN THE THE WINDOWS.
AND THEN THERE WAS A REQUEST OF MAYBE INTRODUCING A MASCOT ONTO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING THAT FOR FOR MULLENDORE ALSO.
SO THAT'S A SHOT THAT WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING THAT FEATURE.
WE DO HAVE A CM AT RISK THAT'LL BE ON THIS PROJECT.
AND SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THEM, WORKING TO YOUR BUDGET, MAKING SURE THAT WE WE HIT THEIR NUMBERS.
AND THEN NEXT STEPS BEEN THROUGH PROGRAMING SCHEMATIC DESIGN MEETINGS WITH THE CITY.
ONE THING WE DID FIND OUT WHEN WE MET WITH THE CITY IS THAT THIS PROPERTY IS NOT CURRENTLY PLATTED.
SO WE WILL HAVE TO BE GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS AND WE'RE STARTING THAT.
WE DO HAVE A DEMO PACKAGE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING THAT WE'VE GOT OUT FOR PROPOSALS AND WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU HERE BEFORE SUMMER TO BE ABLE TO GET THE DEMOLITION STARTED.
AS KATIE AND JOHN HAD SAID, THERE'S SOME ASBESTOS.
NOT A WHOLE LOT, BUT WE'LL WE'LL DO THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT FIRST AND THEN START DEMOLITION MID JUNE.
AT THAT SAME TIME, WE'LL BE GETTING PROPOSALS FOR THE BUILDING AND SITE COME BACK TO YOU ALL WITH THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE IN AUGUST SO THAT WE CAN GET STARTED WITH CONSTRUCTION PROBABLY MID SEPTEMBER TIMEFRAME AND THEN WORKING FORWARD THROUGH CONSTRUCTION LOOKING AT A COMPLETION DATE JANUARY 2025.
SO THAT GIVES YOU PLENTY OF TIME FOR BEING ABLE TO TO MOVE IN AND GET FURNITURE SETTLED.
SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
IT WHERE IT IS NOW, IT'S FINE.
I'M NOT CRITICIZING WHAT IT IS, BUT WE'D LIKE SOMETHING I THINK OTHERS WOULD AGREE.
WE'D LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE MORE OUTSTANDING FOR HER AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CATCHES YOUR EYE WHEN YOU COME IN AND REALLY, REALLY SAYS, HEY, THIS IS WHO SHE IS AND WHO SHE WAS. OKAY.
NO, AND DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, WE DID A LEGACY WALL FOR CHENEY HILLS AND WE WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR THIS, BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY HIGHLIGHT ON MISS MULLENDORE.
SO TNP, I ASSUME IS DOING THE PLANNING STUFF.
YES, SIR. THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL FIND OUT ABOUT THE DRAINAGE.
YOU WILL. ARE YOU READY? NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY SHOULD FAST TRACK IT PRETTY QUICK TOO THOUGH.
YEAH, BECAUSE THEY WON'T HOLD YOU UP ON DEMO.
YEAH. NO, AND WE HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WAS THAT WAS THE FIRST THING WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS NOT PLATTED, THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO HOLD UP ANYTHING ACCORDING WITH THE DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO THAT'S THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
BUT THAT'S WHEN ANY DRAINAGE ISSUE WOULD COME UP.
IS THERE? PLATTED. THEY BUILT THEM.
[01:05:02]
RICHMOND HIGH SCHOOL WASN'T.AND WE'RE DOING A DRAINAGE STUDY.
WE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE ASKED THEM ABOUT THE BOX CULVERT ON GLENVIEW DRIVE.
THEY'RE NOT MAKING ANY IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT BOX CULVERT.
SO WE DON'T WE DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES WITH DRAINAGE AS OF RIGHT NOW.
SO I WOULD START PLATTING NOW.
I MEAN, DON'T DON'T WAIT TILL YOU'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.
I THINK THE PROCESS WITH THE CITY IS THEY WAIT TO HAVE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS PUT IN.
SO IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES TO THE PLAT, THEY CAN ACCOUNT FOR IT.
THAT'S ON YOUR EASEMENTS AND FIRE LANES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO FILE IT, BUT HAVE IT APPROVED.
YES, SIR. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GET THAT PROCESS STARTED.
I THINK WE HAVE A PLAN THAT'S GOING IN RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S RIGHT. WE HAVE A SITE PLAN PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIRST BEFORE WE GO TO PLAN.
BUT THAT WAS WE'RE PUTTING THAT IN THIS MONTH ALSO.
IS IT ENOUGH FOR THE CAPACITY IF THE IF THE BUILDING WAS USED AT CAPACITY, WOULD IT BE? SO YES, BECAUSE THE DESIGN OF THIS IS THE SAME AS CHENEY HILLS, WHICH WOULD BE 650 TO 700 STUDENTS.
PERFECT. SO IT WOULD BE WELL BEYOND CURRENT CAPACITY OF MULLENDORE ELEMENTARY.
SO, JOHN, WE WANT TO THANK YOU.
SAW YOU EARLY MORNING DURING ELECTION TIME.
YOU WERE OUT TO VOTE. HOPEFULLY YOU VOTED FOR THIS.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS.
I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT I THINK I PROBABLY DID.
ALL I DO REMEMBER IS THAT IT WAS CLOSED AND I COULDN'T GET THERE AND I HAD TO GO THE NEXT DAY SO.
CHRIS YEAH, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'VE GOTTEN INTO ACTUALLY PLANNING LIKE THE BATHROOMS OR RESTROOMS FOR THE STUDENTS YET, BUT WITH THE CURRENT POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT, I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE REST OF THE BOARD WOULD AGREE WITH ME, BUT LOOK AT INDIVIDUAL STALLS, CEILING TO FLOOR STALLS FOR ALL, INCLUDING URINALS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES DOWN THE LINE.
I THINK IT'D BE GOOD FOR US TO PREPARE FOR WHAT COULD BE COMING.
YEAH, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
I WOULD SUGGEST WE GO FURTHER NOW WITH THE WAY POLITICS IS.
I SEE THERE ARE DESIGN STANDARDS THAT THE STATE PUTS OUT THAT TEA SAYS THAT HE HAS TO FOLLOW.
I DON'T WANT TO GET OVERZEALOUS BECAUSE IT CAN TAKE UP A LOT OF ROOM.
IF YOU GO A STALL JUST FOR A URINAL.
I DON'T THINK IT'S OVERZEALOUS IN OUR POLITICAL CLIMATE CURRENTLY.
WELL, I'LL TELL HIM TO STAY AWAY THEN.
I, I DON'T THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S OVERZEALOUS TO GO THAT FAR.
THAT'S MY OPINION. WE'LL DISAGREE ON THAT ONE.
WE'LL FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND SEE WHAT DIRECTION WE NEED TO GO.
THANK YOU. UM, I WANT TO SAY THIS.
I WAS A TEACHER FOR 31 YEARS AND I AM SO AGAINST THE GLASS WALLS BECAUSE IT'S NOT I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE SO MANY FACTORS THAT TAKE CARE OF SAFETY, HOW WE CAN BLOCK OFF PORTIONS OF THIS BUILDING.
AND WITH KIDS, ANY TIME THEY SEE MOVEMENT, ANY TIME THEY SEE LIGHT, THEY FOLLOW THAT.
AND I KNOW WE PUT THE FILM UP, BUT THE FILM GOES UP SO HIGH.
AND I WAS IN A I WAS RECENTLY AT CHENEY HILLS FOR WORLD READ ALOUD DAY, AND THOSE STUDENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO MOVEMENT.
AND THERE I SAW THAT AND I KNOW WE HAVE CURTAINS TO PULL.
UM I REALLY BELIEVE AS A FORMER EDUCATOR, IT'S A MISTAKE WITH THESE GLASS WALLS ON THE HALLWAYS OF THE CORRIDOR.
I WILL ECHO THAT, BUT NOT FROM AN EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE, BUT FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE.
AND JUST TO BE BLUNT, YOU USUALLY DON'T SHOOT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE AND YOU SHOOT AT WHAT YOU CAN SEE.
AND THE MORE NARROW HALLWAYS ARE BULLETS, RIDE WALLS AND IT'S EASIER TO SHOOT.
AND SO WIDE OPEN SPACES ARE GOOD BECAUSE IT MAKES IT HARDER.
[01:10:01]
I THINK IF YOU COMBINE THOSE OPEN SPACES AND MAKE THEM NOT HAVE THOSE FATAL FUNNELS THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH NOT HAVING A FISHBOWL FOR THAT LINE OF SIGHT ISSUE.SO IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOUR EDUCATION COMPONENT, I DO.
I DO THINK THERE'S A SAFETY COMPONENT AS WELL WITH NOT HAVING A FISHBOWL TYPE SETUP.
AND I'LL SAY THIS, WHEN YOU GO INTO LOCKDOWN AS A TEACHER, THE VERY FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS BLOCK ALL THE PLACES SO THAT SOMEONE CAN SEE INTO THE ROOM.
BECAUSE AS A TEACHER, WE HAD TO HAVE THE DOORS, WINDOWS OPEN, YOU KNOW, THE WINDOWS ON THE DOORS.
THEY HAD TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THEM.
AND THEN THE VERY NEXT THING YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE TURNING AROUND AND YOU'RE TAPING CARDBOARD, YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO PUT UP THERE AND AND IMAGINE THIS THREE TIMES I'M PULLING THE CURTAIN.
BUT IS THERE A CRACK IN THE CURTAIN? CAN SOMEBODY SEE AT THE SIDE? I HAVE A [INAUDIBLE] I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S A NIGHTMARE FOR THE TEACHERS.
GO AHEAD. I'M NOT JUMPING ON EITHER SIDE.
BUT I DO THINK THIS IS A FAIRLY QUICK I'M JUST PUTTING MYSELF IN THEIR SHOES AND IT'S FAIRLY FAST TRACK AND I HEAR A LITTLE BIT OF I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO SAY, BUT THEY SAID, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO COPY.
BASICALLY, THAT'S NOT THE EXACT WORD, BUT WE'RE GOING TO USE.
PROTOTYPE. THANK YOU. PROTOTYPE CHENEY HILLS.
I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS QUITE A WHILE.
BUT I THINK THEY NEED SOME DIRECTION AS TO THAT.
YOU KNOW, IF I WAS SITTING OUT THERE AND I WAS IN JOHN'S SHOES, I'D BE GOING, WELL, CRUD, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING? AND SO I THINK I THINK WE NEED TO GET SOME DIRECTION.
SO LET ME ASK A QUESTION TONIGHT'S IN TONIGHT'S APPROVAL PROCESS THAT WE'RE ASKING.
IS IT THAT INTRICATE OF A DETAIL IN THIS DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE OR ARE WE ACTUALLY DOWN TO THE MATERIAL OF THE WALLS? SO, NO, IT'S NOT IT'S NOT INTRICATE FROM WHAT WE NEED TO DO, FROM EITHER GLASS OR NOT GLASS.
THE ONLY ASPECT THAT DOES COME INTO PLAY IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE TEA.
AND IF YOU I WENT THROUGH IT PRETTY QUICK.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE FLEXIBILITY STANDARDS, THE LEVEL FOUR IS THE MOST FLEXIBILITY AND I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF HELP FROM CHAD.
BUT WITH US PUTTING WALLS IN THERE, WOULD THAT THEN DROP US DOWN TO A LEVEL ONE OR LEVEL TWO AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ACTUALLY CHANGES IF WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE OR NOT.
IT WOULD NOT. I MEAN, THE AS YOU SEE HERE, THE LEVEL FOUR FOR FLEXIBILITY IS TALKING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO REARRANGE WITHIN THE CLASSROOM AND BE ABLE TO EASILY MOVE FURNITURE AND FLEXIBILITY OF FURNISHINGS AND REARRANGEMENT THAT THE STUDENTS CAN DO ON THEIR OWN AT THAT SMALL SIZE BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.
AND ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THAT IS THE COLLABORATION VISIBILITY.
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CLASSROOMS, YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE THAT SPACE OUT IN THE HALLWAY FOR MULTIPLE ROOMS. THE GLASS PROVIDES THAT VISIBILITY, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY UP TO YOU ALL.
BUT THAT'S KIND OF INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN OF THOSE COLLABORATIVE SPACES.
I CAN'T RECALL FROM THE PICTURES, BUT I ONLY REMEMBER THE THE GLASS WALLS BEING IN THE COMMON AREA OVERLOOKING KIND OF NOT THE COURTYARD, BUT WERE THERE GLASS WALLS IN EACH CLASSROOM KIND OF LIKE AT SMITHFIELD MIDDLE? I MEAN, SMITHFIELD MIDDLE. SMITHFIELD ELEMENTARY.
WE'VE CUT IT DOWN TO TWO PANELS.
WE'VE REDUCED IT DOWN TO TWO PANELS OF GLASS SO AND THEN WHAT WE YOU KNOW, WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IS THAT THEN YOU WOULD HAVE THE CURTAIN THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO PULL ACROSS THERE.
AND THEN THE DOORS ARE ACTUALLY SOLID.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE A VISION PANEL WITHIN THOSE DOORS.
THAT'S BETTER THAN WHAT I THOUGHT.
AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT KIDS FEELING LIKE THEY'RE IN PRISON.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T WANT THAT EITHER.
IT IS? YEAH. AND THIS, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
[01:15:01]
WE HAD TO HAVE WINDOWS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING.I AGREE. BUT FAR AS THE WALLS TO THE TO THE HALLWAY, THOUGH WERE CMU WALLS WITH THE METAL DOOR.
YOU YOU LEARN FROM IT IN 3 TO 2.
I MEAN, KELVIN HAS AN OPINION, HAS TALKED TO TEACHERS THAT ARE USING IT EVERY DAY AT CHENEY HILLS AND SMITHVILLE ELEMENTARY AND JUST GO FIGURE OUT AND GET SOME ANSWERS FROM THEM AND DOCUMENT IT FOR US.
I'VE TALKED TO SOME I HAVE TOO AND SOME SAID THEY LOVE THE OPENNESS.
SO THERE'S A MIXED BAG OF, YOU KNOW, DR.
WHAT OUR TEACHERS REALLY THINKING ABOUT IT? YOU KNOW, GIVE US SOME COMMENTS, IDEAS WHERE WE CAN HANG OUR HAT ON AND GO FORWARD.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S COST EFFECTIVE.
SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW. I'VE NEVER PRICED IT.
BUT THERE'S A FILM, THERE'S A FILM ON THE BOTTOM GLASS THERE.
BUT THAT'S NOT BULLETPROOF. THAT'S NO BULLET RESISTANT.
IT WILL STOP A FEW ROUNDS, BUT IT WON'T STOP MULTIPLE.
WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT THE APPROVAL THAT WE WOULD ASK FOR TONIGHT IS FOR THE BASIC DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, NOT NECESSARILY THE THE INTERIOR WALL MATERIAL.
SO THAT'S STILL UP FOR DISCUSSION.
AND PAULA, AND I KNOW THAT WAS PART OF THE CHARRETTE THAT WE TALKED TO.
THE GROUP DID GO AND TALK TO TEACHERS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AT CHENEY HILLS TO SEE WHAT THEY WHAT THEY WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY IN A NEW BUILD, A NEWER BUILD ONCE NOW THAT THEY'RE IN THE BUILDING AND HOW THEY FELT ABOUT IT.
ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CLEAR ON THE SLIDING PANEL, THE GLASS PANELS THAT WE'RE SEEING, THOSE ARE SLIDING PANELS THAT OPEN UP INTO THE COLLABORATION SPACES.
RIGHT. SO THEY WILL YES, THEY CAN OPEN.
RIGHT. SO I GUESS ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO EXPLORE IS, IS THERE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT COULD STILL DO THAT THAT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE FULL GLASS? SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF A TEACHER WANTED TO HAVE STUDENTS OUT HERE, MR. DILKS, THEN THEY COULD STILL HAVE IT OPEN.
AND IF THE DOORS WERE OR THE PANELS WERE SLIDING PANELS OF SOME SORT.
SO WE CAN WE CAN EXPLORE SOME OF THOSE MATERIALS.
IT KIND OF SEEMS LIKE WITH THE CURTAIN, WE'VE GOTTEN BOTH WORLDS COVERED.
AND AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I'M MAKING IT TOO SIMPLISTIC.
AND I THINK THAT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, JOHN, WE'RE USING THE TERM CURTAIN, BUT I THINK MORE SO IT'S A IT'S AN ELECTRONIC THAT THEY CAN COME DOWN, NOT NECESSARILY ONE THAT YOU JUST PULL.
AND WE COULD WE COULD DO ONE THAT COMES DOWN.
AND, YOU KNOW, AND THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY WE WOULD TRY WE WOULD MINIMIZE ANY SORT OF SIDELIGHT OR BEING ABLE TO SEE FROM THE SIDE. AND OF COURSE, THE STUDENTS WOULD BE BACK AWAY FROM THAT.
KATIE, DO YOU HAVE ANY ANY OF THE STATISTICS AND I WON'T PUT YOU ON THE SPOT TONIGHT, BUT MAYBE WE CAN BRING IT BACK OF THE POLLS. AND THE POLLS MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT WORD, BUT BUT THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE CURRENT STAFF OF CHENEY HILLS AND THEIR OPINIONS.
SO WE'LL PUT THAT DATA ALL TOGETHER.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'VE REMOVED ONE OF THE PANELS.
BUT YES, MA'AM, WE CAN WE'LL PULL THAT.
WE HAD A GOOGLE SURVEY AND I'LL PULL THAT DATA BACK OUT.
[01:20:06]
LOT OF GLASS BUT WE WANTED TO HAVE LESS BECAUSE SMITHFIELD SEEMED TO BE WORKING A LITTLE BIT BETTER WITH THE SLIDING DOORS.AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A LITTLE MORE COMPACT.
LET'S ASK THIS QUESTION SPECIFICALLY, THOUGH, AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR THE ANSWERS FROM CHENEY.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR THE ANSWERS FROM SMITHFIELD AND SEE HOW THEY COME OUT, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
