July 11, 2017 at 6:00 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

Openened at 6:02pm and Supt. Lefdal highlighted changes. Hearing closed at 6:03pm

Pres. Olsen led assembly in the pledge of allegiance.

No public comment was noted.

Mr. Vlasin had assembly move to auditorium for the presentation. Vlasin briefly summarized what the team did in preparation work for the presentation and what the presentation should ultimately present, which is the marketability of their plan, which is based in theory on a local business. This years plan was for Broken Arrow Cellars (BAC) to grow their own hops and Vlasin noted originally two plans  were created by two teams of CCS students and actually Dale Schilke, owner of BAC was brought in to judge which team would complete at state comp. The team selected to complete then won state and is now preparing for Nationals. Team members are Jack Bauerle, Molly Luhrs and Emma Ferguson. Mr. Vlasin noted the last two CCS to present at Nationals made the stage for the final four. 

Athlete’s continue to be active with summer camps! We have 10 coaches registered to attend the NSAA annual coaching clinic in Lincoln July 25th-27th. The Longhorn and Shorthorn gym floors were refinished last week. Floor refinish cost was consistent with py; Longhorn: $2,890.00 (2 coats of Showtime Urethane Oil Base Finish) & Shorthorn: $1,850.00. Wellington gym was not refinished. In addition, thanks to Dan Lenners, Jodie Schuller, and Jerry Hunt for some additional painting in the gym areas; both gyms look great! Hauxwell contacted Randy Ross of Specialty Installation LLC out of Rapid City, SD about the new gym  basketball goals installation, as the original subcontractor for the project backed out. Ross would not be able to be here before school so other alternatives are being explored. Hauxwell noted the football field is getting a little dry & some sprinkler work may be required. Sports camps remaining will be football, volleyball, and softball in July. First official practice start date is Monday August 7th for all fall sports. In working on schedules, Hauxwell noted Bridgeport and McCook dropped us from their basketball schedule, so he is trying to find additional opponents to play during the 2017-2018 season. McCook will possibly be able to play a girls game on the corresponding date, but not their boys. Southern Valley also canceled their JH football games as they will only have 13 out and are going to play 8-man.

Prin. Odens and Scheel noted no items to report as as their contract days ended earlier in the month, their office time has been minimal in just returning emails, phone calls, etc.

Supt. Lefdal highlighted he has been working on: budget work, infinite campus updates, ACT Boards, cleaning tunnels, Aptafund documents, student parking lot upgrades with concrete will approx. $800-$900 , area of concern is where gravel and concrete meet in the new addition and drainage, setting up 17-18 Alicap safety training, Wellington auction late Aug/Sept time frame with 3 parcels, ACT testing information received from State (District data later in July), deciding what to do with inventory including trophies stored at Wellington. Olsen inquired re: substantial completion which Lefdal noted occurred June 6, 2017.

Supt. Lefdal briefly summarized the proposals using spreadsheet created by Member Fries.  3 options; one each from FSB, Pinnacle and AB&T were considered. Pres. Olsen supported Option A, which was the cheapest option considering interest and origination fees.

Supt. Lefdal summarized the report noting District strengths and weaknesses and highlighted this should be a continual process not an end because the review has been completed.

Supt. Lefdal presented the schedule for estimates from 17-18 to 2022-23. Member Stromberger inquired regarding the 5 to 10 year plan, and Supt. Lefdal noted he has incorporated previous plans into the current document. Storage continues to be a concern as we have transitioned Wellington storage to the main campus. Hauxwell noted with that move, we are tightened on space for large track items. Board preference was to keep storage centrally located or added where existing verses lots of individual buidlings. Member Meeske noted to keep the main drive replacement a consideration when City/State have projects going to get estimates.

Supt. Lefdal noted the census supported consistent enrollment projections

The 17-18 Report was reviewed and Supt. Lefdal noted no additional discussion necessary.

The current proposal was for solid color squares to replace the original carpet that still exists on the walking track.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:41pm.
