Construction Items
Bret Highley / Mark Mitchell
5.d.1.
C.O. #12, BLMS Renovation - Flooring
Bret Highley
Due to poor conditions of the existing terrazzo flooring once new under slab pipe trenching was complete, it was decided a better solution for flooring in the corridors was to install new VCT floor and rubber wall base over all existing Terrazzo. A credit for omission of the terrazzo patch is being given to the owner, minus the additional cost of VCT flooring material and installation. Presented is deductive Change Order #12 in the amount of ($7,650.00). This brings the total construction cost to $9,500,673.88.
5.d.2.
C.O.#13, BLMS Renovation - Parking Lot Repair
Bret Highley
Change Order #13, in the amount of $87,203.05 covers the cost to repair the deteriorated areas in both parking lots where damage occurred due to storage pods, construction equipment and general school deliveries.

2nd Reading - Policy 01.42 - Regular Meetings
Jesse Bacon
Presented is a proposed change to Policy 01.42 - Regular Meetings to better align practice with policy. This revision is regarding when the Board shall adopt a schedule of meetings for the year. As the policy reads, it is to be decided at “The first regular meeting of the Board shall be held in January on the fourth Monday at 6:00 p.m….” For the past several years, the first regular meeting of the month has been a Work Session, at which the Board has found that setting the year's meetings at the usually earlier scheduled Work Session has been beneficial. By eliminating the specific day of the first meeting, this allows more flexibility in when the Board accomplishes the task of setting dates and times of the meetings for the year.
Approve the 2nd Reading of Policy 01.42 as presented.
Order #2018-3 - Motion Passed: Approve the 2nd Reading of Policy 01.42 as presented. passed with a motion by Ms. Dolores Ashby and a second by Mr. Darrell Coleman.
