DO WE HAVE ANY REQUESTS TO SPEAK ON OUR STUDY SESSION AGENDA? OKAY. THEN CARL YOU WERE

[5.1. Review of District Facilities Assessment]

EVERYONE. THANKS EVERYBODY FOR COMING THIS MORNING. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. YEAH.

THIS IS OUR KICKOFF. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NEXT? THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. SO WE HAVE SOME DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS HERE. I'M GOING TO KICK IT OFF WITH A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN WITH MEASURES C AND AB AND THEN I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO OUR EXPERTS HERE. WE HAVE MARK GELSINGER FROM ARCHITECTURE 9 WHO HAS PERFORMED THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT AND WE HAVE CHET WANG AND DAVID CASNOCHA FROM KEYGENT AND STRADLING YOCCA. AND THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES FOR A FUTURE BOND FOR THE DISTRICT. SO LET ME TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT. MARK IS GOING TO GO INTO THIS IN GREAT DETAIL AND TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS AND HOW HE DID IT. I WOULD ECHO CARL. THANK YOU FOR THAT NICE APPRECIATION. I THINK ROB HARRISON  OUR DIRECTOR WHO REALLY HEADED THIS UP WE MET WITH ALL THE PRINCIPALS AND  A LOT OF DIFFERENT STAFF PEOPLE AND I AGAIN I WOULD ECHO CARL. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. IT'S A LOT OF WORK PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER. AND BOB FORD AND HIS TEAM. IT WAS A GROUP EFFORT AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S WORK ON THAT. WE LAST HAD A MASTERPLAN IN THE DISTRICT IN 2004 BEFORE THE DISTRICT STARTED OFF ON THE LAST TWO BOND MEASURES. SO IT WAS TIME TO UPDATE THAT BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW WE'RE PRETTY MUCH AT THE END OF OUR BOND FACILITIES FUNDING.

YOU SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING WE'RE IN HERE AND NOW WE ARE JUST ALMOST ACROSS THE FINISH LINE LITERALLY AT THE BONITA HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM LOOKING FOR A KICKOFF FOOTBALL GAME AUGUST 23RD. PLEASE. SO WE'RE VERY CLOSE. THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO BUT WITH THOSE PROJECTS DONE WE HAVE SPENT ALL OF OUR BOND FUNDS. SO THE QUESTION REALLY IS: WHERE DO WE GO NEXT? WE DO HAVE BEAUTIFUL FACILITIES IN HERE AND BONITA. CARL'S CORRECT. BUT THE STATE IS NEVER GOING TO GIVE US ENOUGH MONEY TO KEEP THOSE UP. AND YOU JUST CANNOT SAY STILL. YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING. OUR COMMUNITY EXPECTS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF FACILITIES AND OUR STUDENTS DESERVE THAT LEVEL OF FACILITIES AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO HERE. SO JUST A LITTLE REVIEW BEFORE WE GET INTO THE FUTURE WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH MEASURES C AND AB. I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF REMIND US WHERE WE WERE WITH THOSE FINANCIALLY AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M BRAGGING ABOUT THIS BUT I WASN'T HERE SO I'M NOT BRAGGING I'M JUST

[00:05:04]

THERE'S SO MANY PHOTOS OF SO MUCH GREAT STUFF GOING ON HERE. IT'S HARD TO ENCAPSULATE. I'M JUST GONNA RUN THROUGH THESE VERY QUICKLY. ONE OF THE THINGS OBVIOUSLY WE DID WAS WE UPGRADED ALL OF OUR CLASSROOMS TO MODERNIZE CLASSROOMS AND BATHROOMS. SO THESE ARE JUST A COUPLE PICTURES. I HAVE SO MANY CUTE KID PICTURES SO. BUT YOU CAN SEE KIND OF THE CASEWORK BACK THERE. HE'S LEARNING. OF COURSE WE BUILT OUR BEAUTIFUL NEW GYMNASIUMS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS. KIDS ARE PLAYING AND ENJOYING THOSE NOW. THIS IS THE ADDITION TO THE SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL GYM. AND OF COURSE THE NEW GYM AT BONITA HIGH SCHOOL. AND OF COURSE OUR WONDERFUL PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. AND ALL OF THESE FACILITIES I SHOULD STRESS THEY'RE ALL BEING USED 24/7. YOU KNOW THEY'RE VERY WELL USED BY NOT US BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY. OF COURSE WE USED PART OF THE BOND PROCEEDS TO PUT IN OUR SOLAR WHICH HAS REALLY BENEFITED THE DISTRICT. WE'RE REALLY SAVING A LOT OF MONEY AND THAT'S CUT OUR UTILITY BILLS IN HALF. STILL ONGOING. HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE DO JUST RECENTLY. OUR NEW DO. THIS IS THE SAN DIMAS ATHLETIC FIELDS. QUITE DIFFERENT FROM WHEN I WENT THERE. IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL. AND THEN OF COURSE BONITA HIGH SCHOOL THAT WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO FINISH NOW. SO QUESTION: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MARK GELSINGER TO TALK ABOUT THE FACILITIES ASSESSMENT UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING I JUST SAID. OKAY. I THINK JUST IT'S IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE BONDS WITH THE CNAP AND THE STUFF THAT YOU ACTUALLY CAN SEE. BUT THERE'S MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT WENT INTO THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE REALLY NEEDED, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING AND A LOT OF OTHER PIECES. I THINK JUST YOU GUYS KNOW AS A BOARD THAT'S EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT TO THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN SEE SO. DEREK.  HI. MY NAME IS MARK GELSINGER WITH ARCHITECTURE 9 AND THEN MY PARTNER SEAN GIBSON. AND WE WANTED TO THANK THE DISTRICT FOR THIS EXCITING TIME IN THE LIFE OF THE DISTRICT TO BE PART OF THIS. AND SO WE HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH ENJOYING BEING PART OF THE TEAM AND WE WANT TO EMPHASIZE TEAM BECAUSE LIKE CARL AND SUSAN HAD MENTIONED IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL. SO WE'VE GOT PARTICIPATION THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT OF ADMINISTRATORS AND THEN TEACHERS PARENTS AND TRYING TO GET EVERYBODY'S INPUT BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT A ONE PERSON SHOW BUT A WHOLE COMMUNITY. AND SO IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AND WE JUST ARE VERY EXCITED TO BE PART OF THIS. WHAT I'M GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW IS JUST QUICKLY GO THROUGH THIS ENTIRE BOOK. [LAUGHTER] WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO PAGE BY PAGE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN HERE SO JUST FEEL FREE AT YOUR LEISURE TO GO THROUGH IT. I SUSPECT MOST EVERYBODY WILL JUST TURN TO HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST. AND SO THERE IS A BOTTOM LINE BUT WE WANT TO GO AND JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A SUMMARY OF WHAT WE DID. AND SO I'LL BE GOING THROUGH HERE AND I PERSONALLY LIKE TO HAVE AN OPEN CONVERSATION. SO IF ANYBODY HAS A QUESTION AT ANY POINT I HAVE NO PROBLEM ADDRESSING THAT AT THE TIME OR WE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION. SO AGAIN THIS IS TO BE FUN. THIS IS REALLY A GOOD TIME AND IT'S A LOT OF EXCITING THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE. BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT CAN BE DONE AND NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND SO I'D LIKE TO THANK CARL SUSAN AND ROB FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE TO BE

[00:10:06]

AND THEN OF COURSE THE COST ESTIMATE. I'M AN ARCHITECT. I'M NOT A TEACHER. I'M NOT A CUSTODIAN. I'M NOT AN ADMINISTRATOR. AND SO WE'VE DONE A LOT OF SCHOOLS BUT WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT WE'VE DONE AT FULLERTON OR CORONA-NORCO OR UP IN SACRAMENTO. WE WANT TO WORK IN SAN DIMAS AND LA VERNE COMMUNITY AND BONITA. WHAT IS YOUR NEEDS? SO WE WANTED TO EXTRACT THAT OUT AND CONSOLIDATE IT INTO A BOOK. AND OF COURSE THEN EVERYTHING COSTS. YOU KNOW LIFE COSTS. AND SO WE TRY TO SUMMARIZE EVERYTHING THAT WE WERE TOLD. WE DIDN'T EDIT ANYTHING SO WHEN YOU KNOW KENNY RICHIE WANTED TO HAVE THAT YOU KNOW SAUNA IN HIS OFFICE WE SAID ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THE COST. WE DON'T KNOW IF THE SCHOOL BOARD WILL APPROVE IT BUT. AND SO WE WEREN'T TO BE THE FILTER. WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THINGS OUT. WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT ALL IN HERE AND IT'LL ALL FILTER ITSELF OUT IN THE LONG RUN. SO WE JUST WANTED TO BE VERY UP FORWARD AND NOT HAVE. WE'RE NOT BRINGING OUR OWN AGENDA TO THE PARTY. YOU KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE AT A SCHOOL AND I THINK YOUR SCHOOLS ARE PROBABLY AGAIN IN THE TOP FIVE IN THE STATE FOR QUALITY. YOU DRIVE BY THE SCHOOLS AND IF I'M GOING BY AND I'M LOOKING OVER THERE AND OH MY GOSH. THESE ARE GREAT SCHOOLS. WHY WOULD YOU EVER NEED ANY MORE MONEY? WELL THERE'S ALWAYS ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE AND SO A LOT HAS BEEN DONE. BUT AND AS YOU DRILL DOWN AND YOU GET INTO THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS YOU'LL SEE YOU DEFINITELY NEED IMPROVEMENTS TO ENHANCE THE EDUCATION OF YOUR STUDENTS. PERSONALLY I'M LOOKING FOR HAIR AND SO I COULD USE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL. SO DOES THE SCHOOLS. AND SO THIS IS KIND OF SUMMARIZING THAT. IT'S NOT OH THEY'RE WELL PAINTED. THE LANDSCAPING IS NICE. YOU KNOW WHY SHOULD I VOTE FOR A BOND ISSUE?  BUT THEN WHEN YOU START DRILLING INTO IT LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT THINGS: THE ADMINISTRATION BEING IN THE CENTER OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS NOT A GOOD THING AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HOW CAN WE PROVIDE SECURITY AND ACCESSIBILITY? SO THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. I THINK IT'S THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY PERSONALLY. IT'S THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TO PARENTS AND EVERYBODY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY. NUMBER TWO PRIORITY OF COURSE IS THE CLASSROOMS. YOU GUYS HAVE GREAT CLASSROOMS BUT OF COURSE THERE CAN BE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO ENHANCE THE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT OF YOUR TEACHERS AND STAFF. AND THEN OF COURSE SCHOOL ENHANCEMENTS. THE ONE THING THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ONE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS IS THE FIRST THING THE PRINCIPAL SAID WAS WE LOVE OUR NEW GYMNASIUMS BUT WE'D LIKE THEM TO BE AIR CONDITIONED. AND SO THAT'S STUFF THAT YOU KNOW WE PUT INTO HERE AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM. MANY OF THEM SAID THAT WAS THEIR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY THAT THEY WOULD GET YOU KNOW 25 TO 30 PERCENT MORE USAGE OUT OF THE BUILDINGS IF THEY WERE AIR CONDITIONED. SO THAT'S THE SORT OF THING THAT YOU'LL FIND IN THE REPORT. WE WENT TO EACH SCHOOL. AND SO THIS ONE WAS SHULL. IT WAS NUMBER EIGHT IN YOUR DISTRICT. THERE'S 15 DIFFERENT

[00:15:04]

AND WE BROKE THEM DOWN INTO PRIORITIES WHICH WILL BE A COMMON THEME THAT YOU'LL FIND IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS THAT AND HOW MUCH WILL EACH OF THESE DIFFERENT ITEMS COST. AND WE'VE ADDED SOME PHOTOGRAPHS AND AS I TOLD EVERYBODY  DON'T FEEL BAD THAT I'M TAKING PICTURES OF STUFF FOR IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. SUSAN ALLUDED TO ALL THE GREAT STUFF AT EACH SCHOOL AND AGAIN 90 PERCENT OF EVERYTHING AT THE SCHOOLS ARE FANTASTIC. AND AGAIN THE STAFF IS FANTASTIC AT EACH SCHOOL SO THESE ARE JUST IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

AT SHULL AS I MENTIONED BEFORE AND THE SHADE STRUCTURE WHICH WAS CONVERTED YEARS AGO INTO A CAFETERIA THEY'D LIKE TO MAKE INTO A LIBRARY MAKER SPACE AND THEN HAVE A NEW MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING ADDED TO THE CAMPUS. ASPHALT IS ALWAYS AN ONGOING ISSUE AT EVERY SCHOOL, EVERY FACILITY,  EVERYBODY'S HOUSE. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THE PAVING NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. THEN OF COURSE AT SHULL THEY HAVE THEIR LUNCH IS OUT IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL WHICH IS VERY PLEASANT. THE PRINCIPAL LOVE THE. JENNIFER LOVES THE ABILITY TO HAVE IT THERE BUT FOR SECURITY IT'S NOT AN IDEAL LOCATION AND THE FACT THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY NO SHADE STRUCTURE OVER IT REALLY LIMITS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, COLD WEATHER. SO IDEALLY IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING IN A SECURED LOCATION SO THAT YOU CAN BECOME TOTALLY CLOSED SCHOOLS IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION YOU'D LIKE TO GO. WE DID A SITE PLAN TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF WHAT THE SCHOOLS LOOK LIKE AND ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE A STUDENT AT THAT PARTICULAR SCHOOL OR KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THE AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT AND THAT ILLUSTRATES YOU KNOW. IT'S NOT ALL OF THEM BUT WE DID KIND OF SUMMARIZE WHAT WE'D LIKE OR WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE DONE AT EACH SCHOOL TO REMIND PEOPLE. OH YEAH THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL HAS A VILLAGE OF MODULAR BUILDINGS AND AS WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A COUPLE MINUTES THAT'S A HIGH PRIORITY FOR EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL IS TO GET RID OF AS MANY MODULAR BUILDINGS AS POSSIBLE.

RELOCATABLES, BUNGALOWS AS YOU CALL IT. AND SO THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL ACTUALLY HAD A PRETTY LARGE VILLAGE OF MODULAR BUILDINGS AND OVER THE YEARS THEY START TO BE CLUSTERED TOGETHER. AND YOU HAVE TO GET THEM IN BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT  INCREASING ENROLLMENT OR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS AND SO YOU END UP WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WHICH FUNCTIONS BUT IT COULD BE BETTER. SO THIS IS THE SHEET THAT PROBABLY MOST PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN AND YOU'LL FIND IN THE BOOK. IT JUST SUMMARIZES THE COST OF ALL THE 15 DIFFERENT FACILITIES INCLUDING THE ADMINISTRATION, PRIORITY 1, 2 AND 3. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE SUM THERE AT THE GRAND TOTAL OF PROJECT COST JUST UNDER $450 MILLION. THAT COST WILL GO UP AS INFLATION OCCURS OVER THE YEARS BUT THAT WOULD BE THE APPROXIMATE COST AT THIS TIME IF EVERYTHING WAS DONE. OF COURSE YOU CAN'T BOND FOR THAT AMOUNT AND THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED. BUT IT DOES SHOW THE COMMUNITY THAT THE NEED IS GREATER THAN WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PUT TOWARD IT BUT YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH IT. AND THE LAST TWO BONDS HELP THAT DIRECTION. THIS ONE IF YOU DECIDE TO GO FORWARD WITH IT WILL HELP ADDITIONALLY TO ADDRESS THE NEED. SO IT KIND OF GIVES A BIG PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL NEED AND THEN YOU'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS A PORTION OF THAT.

AND THERE'LL BE A PRIORITY OF WHAT INDIVIDUAL IT WILL, A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ARE GOING TO OCCUR ON WHAT CAN HAPPEN  AT EACH SCHOOL AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND THAT PROCESS. BUT THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THE CONCLUSION OF THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. SO THIS WAS A SUMMARY OF MOST REQUESTED ITEMS. SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY.

[00:20:07]

SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF COMMUNITIES ARE REVIEWING AND THINKING ABOUT IS CAMERAS.

IT'S KIND OF THE REALITY OF IT TODAY AND THERE'S A LOT OF SOPHISTICATED CAMERA SYSTEMS THAT CAN GIVE EVERYBODY THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE. AND SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF THE DIRECTION THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING NOWADAYS AND SO THAT WAS VERY HIGH ON PRIORITY LIST. EXTERIOR LIGHTING OF COURSE.

A LOT OF LIGHTING HAS BEEN DONE BUT THERE IS SOME DARK AREAS STILL: SOME PARKING LOTS, THE MODULAR BUILDINGS. ESPECIALLY THE PATHWAY FROM GETTING FROM THE MAIN CAMPUS OVER TO THE MODULAR BUILDINGS SEEMS TO BE DARK AT MOST SCHOOLS. AND THEN OF COURSE LOOK AT ACCESSIBILITY PARKING LOTS, HANDICAP PATH TRAVEL, MAKING SURE THAT ALL INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS CAN GET THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS. AND YOUR RESTROOMS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.  THEY'VE ALL BEEN MODERNIZED BUT THEN WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF RESTROOMS. AND WE'LL GET INTO THAT IN A SECOND THAT THERE'S A CATCH 22. YOU NEED TO MAKE THE RESTROOM MORE ACCESSIBLE BUT THEY DON'T REQUIRE YOU TO ADD MORE FIXTURES TO MEET CODE AND SO  WHENEVER YOU MODERNIZE A RESTROOM YOU LOSE FIXTURES. AND SO VERY RARELY THEN ARE ADDITIONAL RESTROOM STALLS ADDED AND SO THEN YOU'VE GOT A POPULATION THAT ISN'T SERVED. IN SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS WE WERE ACTUALLY ASTOUNDED AT THE LACK OF RESTROOMS AND HOW THEY GET BY. SO THAT'S VERY HIGH PRIORITY AT SEVERAL OF THE SCHOOLS. AND THEN OF COURSE INFRASTRUCTURE.

MAKING SURE THE ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, HVAC IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT'S AN ANNUAL THING AS WELL. AND THERE USED TO BE A THING CALLED DEFERRED MAINTENANCE BUT THE FUNDING WENT AWAY BUT THE NEED IS STILL THERE. MOST REQUESTED ITEM IN UPGRADING THE CLASSROOM: TECHNOLOGY OF COURSE. STEM AND ROBOTICS IS VERY POPULAR NOW AND VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE THE SCIENCE SIDE AND ENGINEERING SIDE OF EDUCATION. IMPROVED LIGHTING. LED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION. AND THEN OF COURSE YOU'RE ALWAYS NEEDING TO PAINT, CARPET, ADD TACK BOARD. CASEWORK IS STILL ALL ORIGINAL AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN THE CLASSROOMS AS WELL AS THE DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE STILL ORIGINAL. AND SO THERE'S BOTH IMPROVED WINDOWS FOR BETTER ENERGY AND THEN OF COURSE THE CASEWORK OF 1958 ISN'T THE CASEWORK NEEDED TODAY. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS MENTIONED BY A LOT OF THE TEACHERS IS THAT THEY WANT MORE FLEXIBLE STORAGE FOR ALL THEIR NEEDS. IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS SCHOOL ENHANCEMENTS.

LIKE I MENTIONED ADDITIONAL RESTROOMS, IMPROVED CAFETERIAS, NPR FACILITIES. SHADE STRUCTURES ARE LACKING. REPLACEMENT OF MODULAR BUILDINGS. LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER MODERNIZATIONS AND EXPANSIONS. MANY OF THEM ARE IN MODULAR BUILDINGS AND CAN HAVE 15,000 BOOKS BUT THERE'S NO PLACE FOR THEM TO SIT. AND SO IN AN IDEAL SITUATION YOU HAVE A SPACE BIG ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THE BOOKS AND THEN HAVE A DESTINATION WHERE KIDS WANT TO GO TO AND IT'S EXCITING LOCATION FOR THEM TO STILL USE BOOKS. I KNOW EVERYTHING'S GONE TO THE COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING'S E AND EVERYTHING'S ELECTRONIC BUT EVERY SINGLE TEACHER EVERY SINGLE PRINCIPAL SAID THEY STILL WANT THE BOOKS.

AND SO WE'RE WANTING TO SUPPORT THAT IN MAKING IMPROVEMENTS. PLAY STRUCTURES. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAND OR WOOD CHIPS. THE DIRECTION NOW IS GOING WITH A POURED-IN-PLACE AND THAT IS A LITTLE BIT LESS MAINTENANCE AND IT DOES HAVE SOME SAFETY FACTORS TO IT. RUNNING TRACKS. IT'D REALLY MORE BE A PHYSICAL EDUCATION TRACK THAT SEEMS TO BE IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY ON DAYS WHERE IT HAD RAINED AND THEY CAN'T REALLY GET ONTO THE GRASS. IT'S NICE TO HAVE A RUNNING TRACK AND THE COMMUNITY AS WELL HAS OPPORTUNITY TO USE THOSE IF POSSIBLE. AND THEN SUPPORTING THE MUSIC AND ARTS PROGRAM. THERE IS NOT ANY SPECIFIC SPACE FOR THAT SORT OF THING SO THEY'RE ALWAYS BORROWING SPACES TO BE ABLE TO DO THEIR MUSIC PROGRAMS. SECONDARY SCHOOLS. THE 21ST CENTURY SCIENCE CLASSROOMS. A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS FELT THEY WERE FALLING BEHIND AND SO THEY WERE WANTING TO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF THE FACILITIES TO SUPPORT THE TEACHERS. THE TEACHERS ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN BUT

[00:25:04]

AIR CONDITION THE GYMS. I MENTIONED THAT BEFORE. I THINK ANYBODY THAT'S BEEN IN A GYMNASIUM ON MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER WOULD AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE NICE TO EXPAND THE USAGE OF THOSE FACILITIES BY AIR CONDITIONING THEM. UPGRADED SPORTS FACILITIES AND ARTIFICIAL TURF. SCOREBOARDS, TEAM ROOMS AND WEIGHT ROOMS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT'S PART OF THE OVERALL LIFE OF A STUDENT AND I KNOW EDUCATION IS NUMBER ONE BUT SPORTS DOES PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF A CHILD'S OVERALL EDUCATION AND SOCIALIZING AND SO THOSE NEED TO SUPPORT THAT. AND THEN UPGRADE AND MODERNIZE THE STUDENT UNIONS. YOU WANT A PLACE WHERE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE. YOU WANT A PLACE THAT THEY WANT TO GO TO AND THAT WILL SERVE THEIR NEEDS SO THAT WAS A HIGH PRIORITY AT ALL THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS. WE'RE DONE. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO CONCLUDE THAT AGAIN YOU'RE TOP NOTCH AND DON'T THINK THAT YOU'RE NOT. AND THE FACT THAT YOUR FACILITIES NEED A LITTLE BIT OF IMPROVEMENT IS JUST LIKE YOUR HOUSE. IT ALWAYS NEEDS SOMETHING UPGRADED, IMPROVED. AND SO THIS IS JUST A SUMMARY OF THAT AND AGAIN WE'RE CALLING IT A NEEDS ASSESSMENT BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THE MASTER PLAN. THAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP OF YES WE WANT TO GO FOR THE BOND.

THIS IS THE CONSTRUCTION. AND THEN WE WILL DRILL DOWN ON WHAT ACTUALLY WE WILL DO WITH THAT FUNDING AND WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THEN TO THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO WITH THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION. YOU HAD MENTIONED DOORS AT THE SCHOOL. AT WHAT CAMPUS OR CAMPUSES DID YOU FIND ORIGINAL DOORS? MOST ALL OF THEM. AND THEN THE WINDOWS AS WELL. THERE'S VERY FEW WINDOWS AND EKSTRAND IS REALLY THE ONE THAT POPS OUT TO ME THE MOST IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SLIDING GLASS DOORS WHICH MAKES FOR AN EXCELLENT CAMPUS AND ENVIRONMENT BUT SECURITY AND SAFETY IS LACKING. WE CAN CHECK THE RECORD BUT I'M ABOUT 99 PERCENT SURE THAT EVERY SINGLE DOOR ON EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS WAS REPLACED WITH THE LAST MODERNIZATION. YEAH. WE DEFINITELY CAN UPGRADE IT AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF A GENERIC THING WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE SCHOOLS IS JUST UPGRADE WINDOWS AND DOORS. AND SO WE CAN GO AHEAD AND REVIEW THAT AND TAKE THAT OUT AND THAT'LL BE A HUGE COST SAVINGS. I HAD A QUESTION AS WELL. HOW YOU DOING? HEY DEREK. HELLO. SO I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOU THOUGHT WERE THE BIGGEST NEEDS. WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE BOOKLET I SAW ASBESTOS INSTALLATION AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS. I SAW TRIPPING HAZARDS AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS. SECURITY, THE PARKING LOT, HVAC, TOILETS. THERE WAS A LIST OF STUFF BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK WERE THE MOST PRESSING NEEDS? WELL AND I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE LONE HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL IS WHERE OUR ASBESTOS ARE.

YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB OF REMOVING THE ASBESTOS TILE AND THE ASBESTOS INSULATION AROUND MOST PIPING BUT THE ONE SCHOOL THAT IS STILL LACKING IS LONE HILL AND THAT'S IN THE FIRE PROOFING ON THE DECK. AND WE JUST DID A SCHOOL IN FULLERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT WAS PARKS MIDDLE SCHOOL WHICH ALMOST LOOKS IDENTICAL TO THAT AND THAT IS A HUGE ONE. IT IS NOT. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS IT IS SAFE AND IT'S NOT FRIABLE. NOBODY'S TOUCHING IT BUT EVERYBODY WANTS A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. AND SO I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY WOULD BE MY NUMBER ONE PRESSING. THE ISSUE WITH THAT IS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE CEILING. YOU HAVE TO. SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO EMPTY OUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. SO AT PARKS MIDDLE SCHOOL WE ACTUALLY HAD TO PUT IN 36 RELOCATEABLES BECAUSE IT ENDED UP TAKING A YEAR AND A HALF. AND SO I WOULD FEEL THAT THAT ACTUALLY WAS THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. SECURITY. MAKING SURE WOULD BE ANOTHER HIGH PRIORITY. OF COURSE BEING NUMBER ONE WOULD BE THE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE

[00:30:03]

THERE'S ALWAYS SIDEWALKS THAT NEED TO BE IMPROVED BUT THAT WAS ANOTHER KIND OF HIGH ITEM. AND THEN OF COURSE THE MODULAR BUILDINGS AND RESTROOMS. BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT SURPRISED ME AT I THINK IT WAS AT SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL THE SHORTAGE OF RESTROOMS THAT ARE THERE. WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO BRING BACK THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE TOTALS FOR PRIORITY A,  PRIORITY B, PRIORITY C. IT LISTED ALL THE CAMPUSES. SURE. THAT ONE.  SO I SEE NO. 10 OR NO. 11.

BONITA HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN BELOW THAT NUMBER 14 BONITA HS CENTER FOR THE ARTS.

WHAT ARE YOU REFERRING TO THERE? WELL THE BONITA. OH THAT WAS A TYPO. I NEED TO TAKE  OFF HS. IT'S BONITA CENTER OF THE ARTS. WHAT A FANTASTIC FACILITY. AND ACTUALLY WHEN ROB AND I WALKED UP THERE I'M GOING WHY ARE WE HERE? IT'S  THE BEST IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BY FAR AND SO. BUT WITH THAT SAID HE STILL HAD A FEW COMMENTS, A FEW NEEDS TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. BUT THAT'S A TYPO. WE'LL REMOVE THAT H.S. THANK YOU. YEAH. I'VE GOT A QUESTION TOO. I KNOW THAT THERE'S A BIG PUSH OR NEED FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO GET THE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS MODERNIZED OR CHANGED OUT AND ADDING THE KITCHENS BUT IF WE DO THAT DO WE NEED TO PLAN ON DOING THAT ALONG WITH THE LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER? BECAUSE I SEE THIS IS 1.4 MILLION FOR THE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM AND ANOTHER 1.3 MILLION FOR THE LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER. DO YOU HAVE TO EITHER DO BOTH OF THEM TO ACCOMPLISH IT? OH ABSOLUTELY NOT. SHULL WAS THE ONLY LOCATION THAT SAID. JENNIFER SAID YOU KNOW IT'D BE NICE TO CONVERT THIS INTO THE LIBRARY. IT'S AT THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL AND SHE FELT THAT THE COMMUNITY THEN COULD ACCESS IT WITHOUT GOING INTO THE REST OF THE CAMPUS. AND THEN A NEW MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING. BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE LIBRARY COULD STAND ALONE AND THEN A MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING BEING BUILT. IT COULD BE BUILT WHERE THE CURRENT CAFETERIA IS OR IN A NEW LOCATION. AND SO IF IT'S IN A NEW LOCATION THEN YOU'D THEN HAVE A BIG SPACE. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT? SO A LIBRARY WOULD BE A GOOD OPTION BUT IT DOESN'T GO HAND-IN-HAND. OKAY. THANKS.

REMEMBERED ANOTHER QUESTION IF I MAY. I THINK YOU HAD LISTED $450 PER SQUARE FOOT AS THE CONSTRUCTION COST FOR NEW CLASSROOMS. SURE. HOW DOES ONE COME UP WITH THAT? THE CONSTRUCTION TRENDS RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE SEEN IT ACTUALLY AS HIGH AS 7, $800 A SQUARE FOOT. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHERE IN LOS ANGELES. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE ECONOMY IS GOOD. THE BAD NEWS IS THE ECONOMY'S GOOD. SO ALL THE COSTS CURRENTLY ARE VERY HIGH AND SO IT'S JUST FROM OUR EXPERIENCE OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN BUILDING. WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS RIDICULOUS FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY IS A BARGAIN. AND SO IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF CONSTRUCTION. WHAT KIND OF CONSTRUCTION DOES THAT ENVISION? THIS WOULD BE A NEW BUILT CONSTRUCTION.

THIS WOULDN'T BE MODERNIZATION WHERE YOU WOULD GO INTO AN EXISTING CLASSROOM AND DO NEW LIGHTINGS AND THE WINDOWS AND TACK BOARD BUT THIS WOULD BE IF YOU BUILT FROM SCRATCH MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING. IS A MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A CLASSROOM WOULD BE PER SQUARE FOOT? I WOULD SAY YES BECAUSE OF THE KITCHEN.

KITCHENS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. EVEN THOUGH YOU DO HAVE WARMING KITCHENS THEY STILL ARE A HIGH COST. THEY WILL HAVE RESTROOMS IN THEM WHICH WILL BE A HIGH COST. AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT A MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING WOULD BE MORE THAN A CLASSROOM BECAUSE THOSE ARE PRETTY GENERIC. THEY'RE ONE STORY. SO YEAH I THINK IT WOULD BE. I KNOW THAT THIS ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON PRICES THIS YEAR. WHAT IS THE RATE OF COST

[00:35:02]

OKAY. YEAH. AND LIKE WE HAD CALCULATED AND THIS WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IT HAD JUMPED LIKE 8, 8 AND A HALF PERCENT AND SO. BUT THE LAST TWO BIDS THAT WE HAD THERE WAS ACTUALLY FIVE CONTRACTORS THAT BID WHERE TWO YEARS AGO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY. AND THEN WE WENT BACK OUT AND WE HAD ONE. AND SO YOU NEED TO HAVE AS WE ALL KNOW THREE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE MARKET IS. AND SO IT COULD KEEP GOING UP. WE KNOW THE REALITY THERE'S GONNA BE A RECESSION AT SOME POINT AND SO THEN IT'LL KIND OF STABILIZE. BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE STILL ON THAT DIRECTION GOING UP. DOES YOUR VISION FOR NEW CLASSROOMS FOR INSTANCE AT SHULL TO REPLACE THE PORTABLES, DO YOU ENVISION BUILDINGS THAT ARE DUPLICATES OF THE PERMANENT BUILDINGS THAT ARE THERE NOW? ARE THEY GOING TO BE AESTHETICALLY SIMILAR OR? OH ABSOLUTELY. OUR FIRM IS WE WANT IT TO BLEND WITH THE SCHOOL. THEY WON'T BE  EXACTLY THE SAME AND DUE TO LIMITED SPACE SO OFTEN WE GO TWO STORIES. AND SO THAT'S VERY COMMON IS TO GO TWO STORIES BUT THE NEW CONSTRUCTION IS DEFINITELY TO COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING.

YOU'LL KNOW IT'S A NEW BUILDING BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT TO STAND OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. IN OUR PARTICULAR CASE WE DON'T WANT IT TO MAKE A MAGAZINE. YOU KNOW IF WE DID THEN WE FAILED. AND SO IN OUR APPROACH WE WANT YOU TO WALK IN THERE AND IT WOULD STILL HAVE BRICK ON IT, STILL HAVE THE STUCCO. BUT THEN IT'LL HAVE ALL THE ENERGY THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE AND THE FUNCTION THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE TO MEET 21ST CENTURY SCHOOLS BUT THEN COMPLEMENT WHAT'S THERE. YOU DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT BE A SORE THUMB. IF I COULD JUST JUMP IN THERE. YEAH. WE ALL KNOW AT LA VERNE HIGH SCHOOL WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HISTORICAL BUILDING THAT'S JUST A TREASURE OF THE DISTRICT AND THE CITY. AND WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF PORTABLES SO WE'D WANT TO GET RID OF THOSE PORTABLES BUT WE WOULD REPLACE THEM WITH BUILDINGS THAT FIT IN WITH THAT ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE. NOW AT THAT SCHOOL THAT MIGHT COST A LITTLE MORE BUT WE WANT TO KEEP THAT HISTORICAL LOOK OF THAT. SO DEFINITELY THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. THANK YOU. AND WHAT A FANTASTIC SCHOOL THAT IS. AND THE PRINCIPAL. THEY WERE IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN PRINCIPALS AND SO THE NEW PRINCIPAL WASN'T THERE BUT THE SECRETARY THERE WAS OH MY GOSH. SHE WAS FANTASTIC. KNEW THE SCHOOL BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS BUT AGAIN THAT CAMPUS NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE. AND THERE IS A LOT OF LOT OF RELOCATEABLES THERE THAT REALLY IS UNFORTUNATE. AND THEN WITH THAT SITE BEING SO SMALL IT ALMOST WOULD BE A TWO STORY BUT ANY NEW BUILDING WOULD BE STUCCO, THE SMOOTH STUCCO THAT IS THERE ALREADY. YOU HAVE THE CLAY TILE TO COMPLEMENT WHAT IS THERE AND ENHANCE WHAT IS ALREADY. YOU KNOW IS MY FAVORITE CAMPUS JUST BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY. I HAVE A COMMENT AND A QUESTION. FIRST I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THIS PROCESS. LOOKING AT THESE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS IN THIS  FOLDER IT'S QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION BUT EACH SCHOOL IT'S A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. THERE'S NO TWO ASSESSMENTS THAT ARE IDENTICAL AND SO. CORRECT. BUT ONE COMMON ELEMENT THAT I SAW WAS THE MODULAR TO PERMANENT AND SO I'M GOING TO ASK A REALLY STUPID QUESTION. WHAT IS THE DEFICIENCY IN THE MODULAR BUILDINGS COMPARED TO THE PERMANENT? BECAUSE THERE'S A HUGE PRICE TAG WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE  OVERALL COST TO THE DISTRICT AND WHAT DOES THAT ENVIRONMENT NOT GIVE OUR TEACHERS OUR STUDENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY? MATTHEW IT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION BECAUSE YOU SEE THEM EVERYWHERE AND THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT WAS TO ADDRESS STUDENT FLUCTUATION. YOU KNOW YOU GET A HIGH ENROLLMENT YOU BRING THESE IN AND THEN WHEN ENROLLMENT DECLINES THEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF. BUT THE REALITY IS THEY NEVER GO AWAY AND YOU KEEP ADDING TO THEM.

AND THE ORIGINAL, THEY WERE DESIGNED ONLY FOR 20 YEARS. AND TO SUPPORT THAT THE STATE AT ONE TIME HAD A PROGRAM THAT AFTER 20 YEARS THEY WOULD HELP FUND REPLACEMENT OF THEM. SO THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO LAST MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND WE

[00:40:03]

YOU LAUGH BUT THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND ESPECIALLY NOT HERE BUT SOME DISTRICTS THEY'RE. WELL ACTUALLY HERE TOO BECAUSE SOME OF THE CLASSROOMS THE AIR CONDITIONING IS AT THE VERY END OF THE BUILDING AND IF YOU'RE AT THIS END OF THE BUILDING THEY'RE EITHER HOT OR COLD. AND SO THAT CLASSROOM ON THE END WOULD LOVE TO BE RELOCATED BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE CONTROL OF THE THERMOSTAT. SO THEIR INTENT WAS ALWAYS SHORT TERM AND SO NOW WE'RE MAKING THEM PERMANENT. AND SO THEY DO DETERIORATE AND SO IT MAY BE REPLACING THEM WITH ANOTHER MODULAR BUILDING THAT MAYBE IS RECESSED IN THE GROUND LIKE SOME OF YOU ARE INSTEAD OF PROPPED UP IN THE AIR BUT PERMANENT SEEMS TO BE THE DIRECTION THAT WE WERE GETTING FROM THE SCHOOLS. TO PIGGYBACK ON MATT'S QUESTION. I KNOW YOU SAID THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR 20 YEARS BUT I WAS WONDERING HOW DO THE BUILDINGS BREAK DOWN? LIKE WHAT ARE SOME COMMON PROBLEMS THEY MAY HAVE, THE MODULES? THE SIDING IS JUST THE T111 COMPOSITE SIDING. SO SIDING DETERIORATES PRETTY FAST AND THE FRAMES START TO RUST.

THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED AGAIN FOR MUCH OVER 20 YEARS AND YOU GET A LOT OF MOISTURE INFILTRATION OVER THE TIME SO THERE IS SOME MOLD ISSUES THAT DO COME UP. THE RAMPS ON MOST OF THESE. MOST OF THEM ARE NOT RECESSED INTO THE GROUND THERE. THEY'RE LIKE BOB'S FACILITY ACROSS HERE IS THAT THEY'RE JUST PROPPED UP IN THE AIR AND SO YOU GET MOISTURE FROM UNDERNEATH. THE RAMPS START TO DETERIORATE AND THEN ACCESSIBILITY BECOMES AN ISSUE SOMETIMES TOO. SO THERE'S SEVERAL ISSUES. THEY JUST WEREN'T DESIGNED FOR THE LONG TERM. NOW THERE ARE MODULAR BUILDINGS NOW AND I'M NOT AGAINST THE MODULAR INDUSTRY BECAUSE WE'VE DONE SEVERAL AND YOU PUT STUCCO ON THE OUTSIDE. YOU RECESS THEM DOWN SO THAT THEY ARE FLUSH. SO MODULAR CONSTRUCTION'S NOT BAD. IT'S JUST THESE BUILDINGS WEREN'T DESIGNED FOR OVER 20, 25 YEARS. BUT THERE IS MODULAR CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL LAST AS LONG AS THE PERMANENT AS WELL. MOST OF THEM DON'T HAVE BRICK ON THE OUTSIDE AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT THEY KIND OF STAND OUT. AND I LIKE THE COMMENT OF WILL THE NEW BUILDINGS BLEND? WELL ADDING BRICK WAINSCOTING TO MODULAR BUILDINGS WOULD HELP TO THEN BLEND THEM IN AND GIVE THEM THE PERMANENT FEEL THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE SCHOOL AND THAT YOU'RE NOT BEING PLACED OUT THERE. FOR WHATEVER REASON SPECIAL EDUCATION SEEMS TO BE CLUSTERED IN MODULAR BUILDINGS AT ALL YOUR SCHOOLS AND SO YOU KNOW THAT'S KIND OF A MINDSET. YOU KNOW DO YOU PUT THEM IN PERMANENT CLASSROOMS OR DO YOU PUT THEM OUT THERE? AND THERE'S VARIOUS GOOD REASONS FOR THAT. A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE LOCATED FOR EASY ACCESS TO THE PERIMETER OF THE SCHOOLS SO THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES INVOLVED IN THAT. WITHOUT GOING THROUGH EVERY LIST ON EVERY DIFFERENT SITE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. HOW WAS THE BREAK DOWN WHEN TALKING TO THE STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS OF A NEEDS LIST VERSUS THE WISHLIST? WELL WE DID NOT EDIT THAT. YOU KNOW WE WENT THROUGH AND AS YOU SAID THERE'S A LOT TO READ BUT WE TRIED TO HIT ALL THE MAJOR TOPICS THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE AT A SCHOOL. BUT WE DO FOCUS THE NUMBER ONE AND YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE REPORT IS SAFETY. AND THEN IT KIND OF THEN FILTERS DOWN TO CLASSROOMS, PLAY YARDS, PLAY APPARATUS AND THAT SORT OF THING. SO WE TRIED TO CONSOLIDATE IT IN OUR SUMMARIES TO DO PRIORITY 1 PRIORITY 2 AND PRIORITY 3 OF.

IT WAS PRETTY EASY TO PULL OUT CLASSROOMS BUT THEN THE MULTIPURPOSE BUILDING.

THEY'VE LIVED WITHOUT IT FOR OR THE ONE THEY HAVE FOR THESE YEARS. AND ACROSS THE BOARD THERE WAS NOBODY SAID THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS HORRIBLE. WE CAN'T

[00:45:03]

AND WE GOT IT. WE'RE DRILLING DOWN ON SOME OF THE STUFF AND SO AS WE'RE WALKING AROUND WE REALIZE TWO BUILDINGS DIDN'T HAVE A RESTROOM AND SO WE WERE TALKING.

WELL WHERE DO THEY GO FOR THE RESTROOM? OH THEY GO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAMPUS.

AND I SAID EVERY SINGLE STUDENT GOES? SHE SAID YEAH. AND SHE SAID BUT WE MAKE IT WORK SO IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. WELL IN OUR VIEW IT'S A PROBLEM. AND SO THEN WE NOTED IT AND PUT A COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IT SOMETIMES IS A CHALLENGE. WHERE DO YOU PUT IT? HOW DO YOU ADDRESS IT? AND THAT SORT OF THING BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WORK OUT THROUGH THE PROCESS. YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MODULAR CONSTRUCTION. ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS CHARTER OAKS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE'S SEEN  BADILLO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON WEST COVINA BOULEVARD AND REEDER. THEY INSTALLED A PRETTY LARGE LOOKS LIKE ABOUT A THREE CLASSROOM SIZED MODULAR BUT MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN THE TRAILER TYPE THAT WE HAVE HERE. OVER A COURSE OF WEEKS THEY DUG DOWN ABOUT THREE FEET, POURED HUGE FOUNDATION PILINGS WITH FLAT TOPS. AND THEN IN THE SPACE OF ABOUT TWO DAYS THEY BROUGHT IN THE BUILDINGS AND BIG CRANES LOWERED THEM DOWN INTO PLACE AND THEY'RE MUCH MORE PERMANENT LOOKING THAN WHAT WE'RE. THESE ARE CALLED PORTABLES. MODULAR IS REALLY I THINK WHAT THEY'VE DONE OVER THERE AT CHARTER OAK AND SO IF WE GO FORWARD I WOULD LIKE TO EVEN THOUGH THE AESTHETICS DON'T MATCH THE OTHER CLASSROOMS YOU KNOW  FOR INSTANCE AT LA VERNE HEIGHTS IF WE PUT THEM IN THE BACK THE SCHOOL WOULD STILL LOOK AS BEAUTIFUL FROM THE FRONT. AND I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT. SO I WOULD LIKE US TO EXPLORE WHAT THEY'VE DONE OVER AT CHARTER OAK A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I SUSPECT THAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE COST IS MUCH LESS THAN 4450 PER SQUARE FOOT. A  COUPLE THINGS CHUCK AND I AGREE. THOSE THINGS ARE GREAT BUILDINGS. CHARTER OAKS GREAT DISTRICT.

COVINA VALLEY. WE DID THAT AT SOUTH HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND WE WERE FORTUNATE  THERE. IT WAS A STUCCO HIGH SCHOOL SO THE NEW TWO STORY BUILDING WAS STUCCO. BUT YOU PAINTED IT THE SAME COLOR. YOU RECESSED IT IN THE GROUND AND  THEY'RE FANTASTIC BUILDINGS.

AND SO THAT I AGREE IS A MODULAR AND IT'S JUST ANOTHER MEANS OF CONSTRUCTION. AND THOUGH I AM SURPRISED THAT THE COST IS MORE THAN YOU WOULD IMAGINE BUT. EVERYTHING IS. [LAUGHTER] THE SAVINGS IS IN INSTALLATION. RIGHT. BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU GET THE FOUNDATION DONE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IN ONE DAY YOU HAVE A BUILDING. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE SAVINGS IS. THE ACTUAL MATERIALS AND STUFF IS ABOUT THE SAME. BUT GOING FORWARD THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER SITE TO GO OVER AND LOOK AT IS SOUTH HILLS HIGH SCHOOL. AND  OTHER BUILDINGS AT ALL THE ELEMENTARIES AT COVINA VALLEY HAVE MODULAR LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS. AND SO THEY WERE RECESSED. THEY HAD THE METAL ROOFS. THEY DID NOT PUT THE BRICK ON THE OUTSIDE AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS MISSING TO HAVE THEM BLEND IN BETTER WITH THE SCHOOLS. NOW I THINK THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO GO. I JUST WANTED TO ADD. I WANT TO THANK SUSAN FOR SAYING WE DIDN'T LIMIT THE

[00:50:06]

WHILE IT ADDS TO THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY I GOT BETTER ACQUAINTED WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS THROUGH THIS AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND WHEN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WE'RE MAKING DO OR WE'RE OKAY WITH THAT I REALLY LIKED SEEING ELEMENTS LIKE THE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS BECAUSE FROM MY VANTAGE POINT I WANT 13 CENTERS OF 13 SCHOOLS THAT ARE CENTERS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. AND WITH A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM THEY CAN BE THAT CENTERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEY CAN BE IT WITH  EXCELLENCE. WE EXPECT THAT FROM OUR TEACHERS. WE EXPECT THAT FROM OUR  STUDENTS BUT THAT ALLOWS OUR FACILITIES TO BE FACILITIES OF EXCELLENCE. I THINK IT'S MISSING FOR THOSE CAMPUSES THAT DON'T. I GREW UP AND WENT TO SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM. AND I THINK SEEING THAT ON THIS LIST GIVES US THE TOOL TO GO YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S MAKE THIS CAMPUS BETTER. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK AGAIN THE PROCESS OF YOU KNOW HAVING EVERYTHING ON THIS LIST SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS.  I JUST WANT TO JUST KIND OF MENTION ONE THING. YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD DISCUSSION REALLY OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. WE DO A REALLY GOOD JOB AS A DISTRICT WITH ACADEMICS. BUT ONE OF THE AREAS OF FOCUS THAT WE REALLY WANT TO START TO CREATE IS A ROBUST CAREER TECHNICAL PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS OVERWHELMINGLY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WHEN WE SURVEYED STUDENTS THEY WANT HEALTH EDUCATION. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF PROGRAMS THAT ARE GOING TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SOME CAREER TECHNICAL PROGRAMS. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT FACILITIES AND YOU LOOK AT EQUIPMENT TO START PROGRAMS SUCH AS ELECTRICAL PROGRAMS AND PLUMBING AND START GETTING INTO THE TRADES OF WELDING AND HEALTH CARE THOSE REQUIRE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU KNOW BUILDINGS TO BE ABLE TO SAY HERE'S AN AREA THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT. I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM A LENS OF TODAY. BUT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT IT FROM A LENS OF AND YOU CAN SEE OVER THE LAST BOND MEASURES YOU KNOW AND FACILITIES IT TOOK UP TO 15 YEARS AND THINGS CHANGE OVER 15 YEARS. BUT THE THING THAT PROBABLY WILL NEVER GO AWAY IS THE FACT IS BUILDING THESE ROBUST CAREER PROGRAMS AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMS FOR OUR STUDENTS YOU KNOW TO BE A PART OF AS WELL AS TO CONTINUE TO MODERNIZE LIKE WHAT MATT JUST GOT DONE TALKING ABOUT. ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT THE EIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WHEN YOU WALK INTO THOSE MULTIPURPOSE ROOMS YOU KNOW WHERE STUDENTS EAT AND THEY DO SOME OF THEIR ASSEMBLIES AND STUFF THEY NEED SOME ADDITIONS TO THAT AND SOME RE MODERNIZATIONS TO THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS ITSELF. THEN YOU ALSO START TO LOOK AT SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO WHEN WE BROUGHT BACK OUR SPECIALIZED SERVICE PROGRAMS FROM THE COUNTY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW REALLY HELPED THEM WAS TO BUILD SENSORY ROOMS. AND WHEN WE HAD SPACE THAT WAS AVAILABLE WE WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT A SCHOOL LIKE GLADSTONE WHERE THEY HAVE FOUR PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS WITH AUTISM. WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE RIGHT NOW TO PUT IN A SENSORY LAB FOR THOSE STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS A BIG PART OF THEIR DAY BECAUSE MAYBE THEY MEET SOME SENSORY NEEDS. AND SO THERE ARE SOME REAL NEEDS YOU KNOW THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOLS. AND ONE THING WE DO KNOW ABOUT OUR PRINCIPALS IS THEY ARE NOT THOSE WHO LOOK AT PROBLEMS AND THEY ADMIRE THE PROBLEM.

THEY ARE PROBLEM SOLVERS. AND WHEN YOU DID YOUR PROPERTY ASSESSMENT YOU PROBABLY SEE THAT THAT THEY'RE LIKE WE'LL MAKE DO WITH IT BUT WHAT THEY'RE REALLY DOING IS THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS WHAT I'VE GOT AND THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO RATHER IT'S A MOBILE LAB OR IT'S GOT TO BE OTHER PIECES TO IT. ANOTHER BIG AREA I THINK ESPECIALLY COMING INTO A NEW WAVE OF SCIENCE STANDARDS IS SCIENCE LABS THAT ARE MODERNIZED FOR TODAY BUT ALSO KIND OF TASKS THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE FUTURE. AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE NOT. I'D SAY THEY'RE PRETTY OLD AND THAT'S WHY ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SEE ON THAT LIST IS WHAT THEY'RE CALLING A

[00:55:01]

WHETHER IT'S ONE STORY OR THREE STORIES OR SIX STORIES WHAT THEY'RE REALLY COMMUNICATING IS WE NEED LABS THAT ARE GOING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE GROWING DEMANDS THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR STUDENTS SO THAT THEY'RE PREPARED. AND SO  THERE'S A LOT IN THESE BINDERS AND THESE LISTS AND I KNOW MARK YOU DID A GOOD JOB TRYING TO DRAW IT OUT OF FOLKS. BUT WHEN KEVIN SUSAN AND MYSELF WHEN WE SIT DOWN WITH OUR PRINCIPALS THESE ARE SOME OF THINGS THAT THEY'RE TELLING US IN TERMS OF HEY WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE ENHANCEMENTS OF OUR PROGRAMS AND HERE'S SOME SAFETY NEEDS THAT WE HAVE. HERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE GETTING CONCERNS AND CALLS FROM OUR PARENTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH SO. BUT I THINK WHEN I LOOK AT SOME OF THESE THESE PIECES IN HERE AND THEN I GO TO SUSAN THEY SAY HEY WE'VE GOT THIS IN THE BANK. SHE SAYS NO BUT THIS JUST AS A FACILITIES ASSESSMENT ITSELF HAS GIVEN US A LOT TO THINK ABOUT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WE WANT TO KIND OF GET TO IN THE FUTURE. NOT TO MENTION SOME OF THE SAFETY THINGS. WHEN WE'RE READY TO REDO SOME OF THAT AIR CONDITIONING AT LONE HILL THAT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING OF A PROJECT TO BE ABLE TO RELOCATE OUR STUDENTS AND TO MAKE THAT ENVIRONMENT SAFE WHILE WE DO THAT. AND THAT MAY NOT BE TOO MANY MORE YEARS OFF WHEN WE MAY NEED TO START LOOKING AT THAT. AS IT'S YOU KNOW WITHIN ITSELF SO THAT'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. YEAH I THINK I AT THIS POINT GOING OVER WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE KIND OF MAKES ME FEEL LIKE BACK IN 2004 WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THIS DOWN AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL YOU KNOW GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS. WHEN WE WENT AHEAD AND WENT FOR THE BOND THE FIRST BOND WAS 56 MILLION. WE HAD LOTS OF DREAMS AND BY THE TIME WE TOOK CARE OF ALL THE WIRING AND THE BEHIND THE SCENES THINGS WE WERE OUT OF MONEY WHICH IS WHY WE WENT FOR THE NEXT BOND AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO THE ENHANCEMENTS WHICH WE WANTED TO DO ORIGINALLY. I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AGAIN NOW BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THE PRIORITIES. THE NUMBER ONE THAT'S 7.2 MILLION. IF WE DO THE MULTI-PURPOSE ROOMS FOR THE ELEMENTARIES THAT'S ANOTHER 21 MILLION. AND JUST THE ENGINEERING COMPONENTS THAT WERE MENTIONED AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS WHICH INCLUDES THE AIR CONDITIONING UPGRADES THAT'S ANOTHER 21 MILLION. THAT'S TAKING OUT AN AWFUL LOT OF OUR MONEY BEFORE DOING ANY ENHANCEMENTS SUCH AS THE SCIENCE AND THE PROGRAMS WE WANT TO GET TO SO. I THINK YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME HOMEWORK HERE SOME TOUGH DECISIONS PROBABLY GOING BACK TO THE SCHOOLS TO DECIDE WHERE THEY WANT TO GO AT THIS POINT BUT I DEFINITELY SEE SOME NEEDS. YEAH I THINK THE REALITY IS THAT YOU SEE THE LARGE NUMBER BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BOND. AND SO DRILLING IT DOWN TO WHAT IS THE HIGHEST IMPACT FOR THE MOST AMOUNT OF STUDENTS IS DEFINITELY A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO OCCUR. AND SO OFTEN IN DISTRICTS THE FIRST BOND LIKE HERE IS THAT IT GOES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO ROOFS, AIR CONDITIONING, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL AND THEN THEN THE COMMUNITY SAYS WELL WHAT DID YOU DO? YOU KNOW YOU DON'T SEE THE ENHANCEMENTS LIKE THE GYMNASIUMS AND THAT SORT OF THING THAT ARE HIGH IMPACT BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE BUILDINGS THAT DON'T LEAK. AND SO WE WERE REAL FORTUNATE WHEN WE WERE GOING TO EACH SCHOOL THAT ROB AND HIS STAFF AND YOUR PAST FUNDING HAS ADDRESSED A LOT OF THOSE THAT MOST DISTRICTS HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR FIRST BOND. EAST WHITTIER HADN'T PASSED A BOND IN 25 YEARS ALMOST 30. SO THEIR FIRST ONE WAS ROOFS AND THEY SPENT YOU KNOW 6 MILLION PLUS ON ROOFS. THAT'S A BIG CHUNK OF THEIR BOND BUT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THERE'S NO SENSE FIXING UP A CLASSROOM IF IT'S GOING TO LEAK AND SO YOU'RE FORTUNATE THAT YOU'RE KIND OF IN THAT NEXT STEP NOW. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AND AGAIN THIS IS A LIVING DOCUMENT AND SO ON CHUCK'S COMMENTS, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. AND SO WE CAN UPDATE THIS AS YOU GO THROUGH. TAB IT IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION. GIVE IT TO SUSAN AND WE DEFINITELY WILL ADDRESS IT. AND DON'T THINK THIS IS THE END OF THE CONVERSATION. IT'S ACTUALLY THE BEGINNING AND THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT A THIS IS THE END ALL. IT'S JUST

[01:00:06]

[5.2. Discuss Bond Considerations]

THERE'S YOUR FACILITY NEEDS AND AS MARK TOUCHED ON THE DISTRICT HAS UP TO $450 MILLION OF TOTAL NEED. SO WHAT'S THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECTS, THE COST AND THE TIMING? AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUATION IS: HOW DO YOU PAY FOR IT?  BONDS ARE REPAID BY PROPERTY TAXES WHICH ARE ASSESSED ON THE TAXABLE PROPERTIES WITHIN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES. WHAT IS THE RIGHT TAX RATE? WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT? AND WHAT IS THE PHASING OF ACCESSING THE BOND PROCEEDS? LET'S TOUCH ON EACH OF THESE CONSTRAINTS ON THE NEXT PAGES. SO THIS SLIDE 3 IS A HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT'S ASSESSED VALUATION GOING BACK TO 1989. SO IT'S THE VALUE OF ALL TAXABLE PROPERTY AND DISTRICT BOUNDARIES RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES RAGING WATERS FOR INSTANCE. SO THESE ARE ALL PART OF YOUR TAXABLE ASSESSED VALUE. BACK IN 1989 THE DISTRICT WAS WORTH $2.2 BILLION.

AND UP TO THE 2018 19 FISCAL YEAR YOU'RE JUST SHY OF $10 BILLION AT $9.9 BILLION. THE DISTRICT DID HAVE TWO MODEST YEARS OF DECLINE DURING THE GREAT RECESSION. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN 09 -10 AND 2010-11. ABOUT A 1.1 PERCENT DECLINE IN TOTAL SO VERY MODEST. BUT SINCE THEN YOU'VE HAD EIGHT CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF GROWTH AND A RECOVERY OF ALMOST 40 PERCENT IN VALUES OF THE DISTRICT. ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER WE LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR ANNUALIZED GROWTH RATES. SO YOUR 20 YEAR ANNUALIZED RATE IS ABOUT 4 PERCENT AND YOUR 25 YEAR IS ABOUT 4.82 PERCENT.  AND ANYTIME YOU DO HAVE A BOND PROGRAM YOU DO MAKE SOME PROJECTION IN FUTURE ASSESSED VALUATION GROWTH SO THE HISTORY DOES GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF A BENCHMARK GUIDE. SO THE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT IS VERY FAVORABLE FOR MUNICIPALITIES. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHART TO THE RIGHT. INTEREST RATES OVER THE PAST YEAR HAVE DECLINED PRETTY CONSIDERABLY. THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIES. WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A TRADE WAR WITH CHINA AND VERY LIKELY TODAY THE FED MAY CUT INTEREST RATES. SO THIS HAS ALL RESULTED IN LOWER INTEREST RATES. IF YOU ARE AN ISSUER OF BONDS THE LOWER THE INTEREST RATES THE LOWER THE POTENTIAL TAXES OR THE MORE YOU CAN RAISE FOR A GIVEN TAX RATE. IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHART TO THE LEFT THIS REPRESENTS MUNICIPAL BOND INTEREST RATES OVER 50 YEARS. SO YOU CAN SEE WE ARE AT HISTORIC LOWS. THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE 18-19 FISCAL YEAR TAX RATES FOR UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. I APOLOGIZE THE FONT'S A LITTLE SMALL BUT WE TRIED TO FIT EVERYTHING IN HERE. HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW IS BONITA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT'S TAX RATE. YOU'RE CURRENTLY AT $79.15 PER 100,000. THAT'S IN THE BOTTOM THIRD OF UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORS FOR INSTANCE TWO TAX RATES BELOW IS GLENDORA UNIFIED AT $68.70.

A FEW TAX RATES ABOVE CHARTER OAK UNIFIED AT $88.91.

AND NEAR THE TOP 25 PERCENT COVINA VALLEY UNIFIED AT  $139 PER 100,000 SO THAT'LL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHERE YOUR $79 TAX RATE IS RELATIVE TO SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS.

DAVID WOULD YOU LIKE TO COVER AB 185? GOOD MORNING I'M DAVID CASNOCHA FROM STRADLING. SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER ME. I WAS THE DISTRICT'S BOND COUNSEL FOR THE 2004 MEASURE AND THE 2008 MEASURE. SO WE'RE BACK TO MENTION ON THIS NEXT SLIDE THE PRIMARY CHANGE IN THE LAW THAT OCCURRED SINCE BOTH OF THOSE TWO PRIOR

[01:05:05]

THERE'S NOT MANY DISCRETIONARY WORDS LEFT TO CUSTOMIZE THE COMMUNICATION IN A WAY THAT'S MOST EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABLE TO BONITA. THE NEXT PAGE. DO YOU HAVE THE CLICKER? OKAY. SO THIS IS WAY DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT HOW BOND MONEY IS GETTING SPENT.

BUT IT GOES TO THE POINT OF HOW IS IT THAT YOU PASS A BOND AND DON'T GET ALL THE MONEY AT ONE TIME? IT IS A FUNCTION OF WHAT CHET DESCRIBED. THE CONSTRAINTS ON THE TAX RATE NOT ONLY FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE BUT ON A COMMUNITY SUPPORT PERSPECTIVE. BUT REMEMBERING THAT THE OVERALL OVERARCHING PRINCIPLE OF TAX EXEMPT BOND FINANCING IS THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ABILITY TO BORROW MONEY TO BUILD THINGS FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. SO THE REQUIREMENT OF BUILDING THINGS FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD DRIVES WHAT THE LEGAL CONSTRAINTS ARE ON HOW PUBLIC AGENCIES USE THEIR BOND FUNDS BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BORROW MONEY THROUGH BONDS AND STICK IT IN THE BANK AND EARN INTEREST OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS. THEY WANT YOU TO SPEND THE MONEY BUILDING THINGS FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD AND AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT THERE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT YOU CAN'T SELL BONDS UNTIL YOU REASONABLY EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO SPEND 85 PERCENT OF ALL THAT MONEY WITHIN THREE YEARS. AND THAT'S WHY SCHOOL BOND PROGRAMS ARE TYPICALLY ORGANIZED AROUND THREE YEARS WORTH OF EXPENDITURES GO INTO EACH SERIES OF BONDS BECAUSE YOU'RE PROHIBITED EVEN IF YOU COULD AFFORD IT FROM SELLING BONDS IF YOU CAN'T MEET THESE EXPECTED SPEND DOWN TESTS. SO THAT'S WHY BOND PROGRAMS TEND TO BE CREATED OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT. HAVING SAID THAT I'LL TURN IT BACK TO CHET. SO NOW THAT WE'VE COVERED SOME OF THE VARIABLES: ASSESSED VALUATION, TAX RATES, INTEREST RATES, LEGAL PARAMETERS. NOW LET'S DRILL DOWN INTO BONITA UNIFIED IN PARTICULAR. SO TAKING A LOOK AT TWO OF THE PRIOR MEASURES OF THE DISTRICT MEASURE C APPROVED IN MARCH 2004 FOR $56 MILLION. MEASURE AB APPROVED IN 2008 FOR $83 MILLION. THE BLUE BARS TO THE TOP RIGHT REPRESENT PROJECTED TAX RATES FROM MEASURE C.. THAT WAS A PROP 39 MEASURE THAT HAD A $60 LEGAL LIMIT. AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE PROJECTING THE TAX RATES WOULD BE AT ABOUT JUST UNDER $40 DOLLARS PER 100,000 UP UNTIL 2031. IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT PROJECTION WE MADE AN ASSUMPTION OF FUTURE ASSESSED VALUATION GROWTH. WE'RE USING A 3 PERCENT ANNUALIZED GROWTH RATE WHICH IS ABOUT A PERCENT BELOW YOUR 25 OR 30 YEAR AVERAGES. THE GREEN BARS REPRESENT THE PROJECTION FOR A MEASURE AB. AGAIN THAT

[01:10:02]

ON THE ASSESSED VALUATION GROWTH SIDE OF THING IF 3 PERCENT WAS TOO CONSERVATIVE WHERE WE'RE LEAVING PROCEEDS ON THE TABLE WE COULD ASSUME A 4 PERCENT GROWTH CONSISTENT WITH YOUR 20 YEAR AVERAGE. THAT TAKES OUR 155 MILLION TO 170 MILLION. AND THE LAST VARIABLE ON INTEREST RATES WE ARE BEING VERY CONSERVATIVE GIVEN WHERE TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT IS. IF WE RATCHETED DOWN OUR ASSUMPTION BY ABOUT .5 PERCENT  155 MILLION BECOMES 168 MILLION. ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY GIVEN THE TIMING AND THE AMOUNT OF PROCEEDS YOU WANT TO GENERATE THE TAX RATE THAT VOTERS ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT AND THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS, ALL OF THIS CAN BE TOGGLED TO CREATE A PROGRAM THAT BEST MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE

[01:15:01]

BUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO DELIVER EITHER BY AUGUST 7TH 2020 OR DECEMBER 6 2019 IS THE SAME. IT'S A RESOLUTION THAT INCLUDES THE BALLOT MEASURE. IT WILL INCLUDE THE LIST OF PROJECTS THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE FUNDED. AND IT WILL INCLUDE FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE COSTS OF THE MEASURE. AND SO THE PREPARATION OF THOSE DOCUMENTS IS REALLY A COMPILATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT WE HAVE TO WORK FROM.

AND THE KNOWLEDGE BASE ARE THINGS LIKE THE FACILITY ASSESSMENTS, THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND ONE ITEM THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDRESSED WHICH IS WHAT DOES YOUR COMMUNITY THINK ABOUT THE PROSPECTS OF PASSING ANOTHER BOND MEASURE. AND THAT'S WHY ON THE SCHEDULE HERE THERE IS FOR RIGHT ABOUT NOW WE'RE SEEING THE TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT OF A POLLSTER TO CONDUCT A VOTER OPINION SURVEY TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTS THE PROJECTS THAT YOU THINK ARE IMPORTANT AND WHETHER THEY SUPPORT IT AT THE PRICE RATE THAT YOU THINK IS NEEDED TO EXECUTE YOUR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. SO THE SCHEDULE TYPICALLY FOLLOWS GATHER YOUR DATA. MAKE A POLICY DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT A BOND IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO ABOUT FUNDING THESE FACILITIES. EITHER GET ON BOARD WITH WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS OR WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO GET THEM ON BOARD WITH WHAT YOU WANT ALL HEADING

[01:20:05]

OFTENTIMES SCHOOL DISTRICTS DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO HIRE A COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT TODAY TO START COMMUNICATING THE NEEDS OR GOALS OR PURPOSES OF A BOND MEASURE TO THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY OPTIONAL BUT THAT KIND OF A COST IS A GENERAL FUND EXPENSE. POLLING IS A GENERAL FUND EXPENSE. THERE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION RIGHT ON POINT THAT RECOGNIZE THAT THE GATHERING OF INFORMATION AND THE COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS IS A LAWFUL USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS BUT THEY CAN'T GET REIMBURSED FROM THE BOND. SO THAT IS AN INVESTMENT THAT THE DISTRICT HAS TO MAKE IN PURSUING SUCH A MEASURE. SO ALL THESE ITEMS UNDER CONSULTANTS POLLSTERS STRATEGIST COMMUNICATIONS OUTREACH ALL THOSE ARE LAWFUL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES WITH NO OPPORTUNITY FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE BOND. PEOPLE LIKE CHAD OR MYSELF WORK ON CONTINGENT FEES. WE DON'T GET PAID ANYTHING UNLESS YOU PLACE A MEASURE ON THE BALLOT AND IF YOU WIN OUR FEES GET PAID OUT OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE BOND. SO THERE'S NOT A GENERAL FUND EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. SO WITH THOSE COMMENTS I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR TURN IT BACK TO CHET FOR FINANCIAL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. I'VE GOT A QUESTION ABOUT BASICALLY THE INDEBTEDNESS LEVEL OF THE DISTRICT. WHAT IS THE BONDING CAPACITY? RIGHT. DOES THE AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS THE CITIES HAVE  FACTOR INTO THAT AT ALL? NO. THAT'S  JUST THE DISTRICT'S INDEBTEDNESS ONCE UPON A TIME MANY YEARS AGO THE LEGISLATURE IN THEIR INFINITE WISDOM IN QUOTES APPOINTED COUNTY TREASURERS AS THE OFFICIAL TREASURER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS FROM A STATUTORY BASIS IN PART BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T THINK SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE QUITE CAPABLE OF DOING IT THEMSELVES. AND IN THAT VEIN OF NOT QUITE CAPABLE OF DOING IT THEMSELVES THEY THOUGHT THAT FISCAL PRUDENCE AND FISCAL MANAGEMENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS SOMEHOW WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAX DEBT THAT A DISTRICT HAD INCURRED. SO THIS FORMULA WHICH IS STILL PART OF LAW IS VERY PREJUDICIAL TO A SMALL DISTRICT BECAUSE THEIR SCHOOLS COSTS  $450 A SQUARE FOOT JUST LIKE YOUR SCHOOLS COST. AND YET THE ASSESSED VALUE IS SO LOW THAT THEY CAN'T ACCESS THE MONEY THAT THEY NEED. BUT NONETHELESS THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVELY SCHOOL DISTRICT APPLIED TEST. THANK YOU. I HAD A FOLLOW UP QUESTION. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF SENIORS IN OUR COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE FIXED INCOME. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO START I GUESS THE PROPERTY TAX AFTER A SET AMOUNT SAY $150,000? SO THIS WAY THE TAX HAPPENS AFTER A BASE LEVEL. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S DOABLE OR NOT REALLY? IT'S GENERALLY NOT DOABLE. I'LL ALSO GIVE YOU TWO EXPLANATIONS. NUMBER

[01:25:05]

BUT I THINK THE ANSWER TO YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION IS NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT. I KNOW WHEN WE PASSED BONDS BEFORE I BELIEVE IT WAS WE HAD STATE FUNDING THAT HELPED US OUT. IS THERE STATE OR FENDER FUNDING  AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD HELP KICK IN TOWARDS THIS? I HAVEN'T HEARD YOU MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. I HAVEN'T MENTIONED A THING ABOUT THAT. BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE IS STILL STATE MATCHING FUNDS AVAILABLE. I THINK THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED FROM THE STATE CONTINUES TO SHRINK. WHAT USED TO BE 100 PERCENT WAS PROBABLY DOWN CLOSER TO 50 PERCENT NOW BUT I KNOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS CONTINUE TO USE LOCAL BOND PROCEEDS AND APPLY FOR STATE MATCHING FUNDS AND PARTIALLY FUND PROJECTS. SUSAN YOU PROBABLY ARE.  SO THE STATE STILL HAS A PROGRAM BUT IT'S LESS. THEY HAVE LESS MONEY NOW THAN THEY DID BACK IN THE DAY WHEN WE ALL GOT MONEY BEFORE. I BELIEVE WE'VE USED UP ALL OF OUR ELIGIBILITY IN THIS DISTRICT. I MEAN IF THERE WAS ANY MONEY OUT THERE I KNOW THERE'S SOME CORE TECHNICAL MONEY. WE DEFINITELY WANT TO LOOK INTO THAT IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. BUT I THINK WHAT DAVID IS SAYING IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. THE DEMAND ON THOSE FUNDS IS WAY MORE THAN WHAT THE STATE HAS AND PEOPLE GETTING STATE FUNDING NOW YOU KNOW QUEUED UP ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO. SO AM I SAYING THAT WRONG MARK? I DON'T KNOW IF WE LOOKED INTO OUR CAPACITY YET BUT I'M PRETTY SURE WE'VE USED UP ALL OF OUR ELIGIBILITY.  WE KNOW IT'S CLOSE. YEAH WE'VE USED ALMOST ALL OF OUR ELIGIBILITY. SO IF WE HAD ANY MONEY WE WOULD YOU KNOW GRAB A STATE. BUT I KIND OF DOUBTFUL ON THAT BUT YOU KNOW SOMETIMES THE STATE PASSES OUR BONDS. SOMETIMES THEY START NEW PROGRAMS. BACK IN THE DAY THERE WAS A MATCHING THING IF YOU COULD GET YOUR CITY TO THROW IN MONEY THEY WOULD GIVE YOU SOME MORE MONEY. YOU KNOW SINCE WE WORK WITH OUR CITIES WELL THAT WOULD BE GREAT. BUT RIGHT NOW I'M NOT LOOKING AT A LOT OF MONEY FROM THE CITY.

YOU KNOW OUR DEVELOPER FEES ARE YOU KNOW ANOTHER POSSIBILITY BUT WE HAVE ABOUT 3 MILLION IN THAT FUND NOW AND THAT'S REALLY JUST OUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT IN CASE SOMETHING DOES BLOW UP AND RON NEEDS TO FIX IT. SO I'M KIND OF RELUCTANT TO SPEND THAT TOO. SO YOU KNOW BASICALLY OUT IN THE FUTURE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THIS BOND. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SO MUCH. DO WE HAVE ANY ITEMS
