Gabriel has agenda auditions with no additions mr. Jones everything is current enough today I don't have to say yes sir we have no additions to the previous step Dave to be smart for kids that we added last I'm processing should be right in saying but no other items okay you've been is requiring an action of the boys I don't know how I'm going to handle this but you gone all know that we've been looking for the land on the south side of town for the last year's I don't know where that you can buy 36 anchors in the city limits of the Lebanon any flights without doing renovations tearing buildings down and all this comes. this land was owned by Emmanuel Baptist Church and they had got some bids on building a church and it was going to cost me want some money they decided to salad spinner hush-hush thing I've been dealing with them personally myself contingent on you need two guys here approvement weight write an offer if you get excited find me now he thinks he's three rows and three tracks Snapchat huge 4500 square feet on the ground here and you can save more stand this is an area with a concern with about building the house this summer school and over here is that little long to Anchorage or whatever was back here remind for Ben Ryan and little track one at night to acres 5 Acres of the house the house is currently winning for $2,500 a month I think we can get in this later that we need to keep them in there because we're not ready to start you know I think that war been smart by doing this we're not waiting to the last minute we've got the prom. E to go I will have when we need a new school well all of that development over there off of Pinhook Road finalizing that I think it all closed today matter fact so there's going to be several houses over there is going to be Apartments over there that's going to be lots of things over there but we need to school over there on the south side of town now I'm done all that's in the past and I'll be on this to be my fourth or fifth school and I'm probably going to be all this one with anyway I'm going out and try to find us some way in and have some feelers out there I don't want to put it out that it were asking find because if it had that property would have crippled and price guarantee it would guarantee it would or any other problem same way with this building right here where you bought it so I made an offer and I call back and says it's not going to get it so all four and a half million dollars tell you what happened you know shop I offered four and a half million and they called me and said you have to come up cuz we got some other offers on it nobody was supposed to know about that was going to send it but it didn't I think so and we're out and I hadn't Rochelle McCulloch and I'll write the contract it's a 15-page contract in the aisle 14 y'all that copies of all and we did I did put in there that we had first right of refusal and then me and him that means that if someone else comes along and wants to buy it and always in my work then I have got to come to us and make an avatar we're going to come up to your brunch animating last night it took church and I'm the one that I've been dealing with and he said the meeting went really really well because they'd rather stay at school there than I had a bunch of apartments or houses or whatever else might be there so how about in two weeks the church members are but he said it's a done deal so we don't have to worry about it so I'm a real estate agent and I'll send the contract and I want y'all to read that or he says I am not received any information on virtuity for that I wish I was but I'm not so the only thing that I'm just put a lot of time and effort into this is going to going on for I'm 6 weeks for a while and just add to it we'd approach to Manuel Baptist over a year ago probably too and they weren't interested in then as they've looked at Future growth and and that's when I decided it was time to sell and it reached out and since then just to just to clarify the acreage is 33.79 + I talked to the architect any changes to bring pencil and he thinks that the excavation is going to be really low you know excavation over here on Jones Road with six million dollars and I don't even think you don't think he'll be happy Okinawan Splat pretty much flat when we going to be over there I can't answer that we just got to depending on the growth of the system and as more than we see it grow its going 24 of the 13 months to build a that's cool. When you start start to finish so you know Ali Zafar Manson I guess y'all see him all going all over town and near me Turn Mower mower mower you know all that over there behind bars now to in Winfree Bryant and they finally got a ride away they tore that place all the pieces they fix my foot what 367 just so you know that's going to be coming there I'm in and we just don't have the room to take care of all the kids and we're good now we're fine right but we're going to plan for the future you don't want to wait to the last minute because of waiting to the last minute is the wrong thing to do we won't be prepared and wait for you say it coming and then we're going to wait around so that's why we bought the plan or Southside we don't need it over here on this side of town it's too much to all I was over here except virus now 10th and Bryant it's good and went to Ron's just going to be right down the street and go I think that'll make a lot of kids and parents happy that they don't stay in the same area and then you won't have to run all over town and everything so so unless that's the day so I'm working out with him and the contract I signed it so did y'all approval you don't have to approve it if you don't want to and their trustees sounded the dates that. so questions just reinforce for mr. Jones we have left the property in several different places by the parameters of acreage of location and and landlocked in a sense of where are boundaries can go so for a lot of means or a lot of ways this is really Prime Property for us to a test to have access to yes sir and just reinforced parole board approval that would be on her before today that's page 5 and of course it's contingent upon you guys so well I mean I just think it's a it's a great piece of property were lucky to find it because I've been looking and I had for the last three years I've been trying to find something in you can find it I mean we found some on the label Pike on down the road there but he says you know you want to be able to start school pair he said he didn't think we would ever get it approved anyway in Lacrosse I was close to a councilman's house just go right in the yard but this is all ready song right Mike it's is a zoning that is baked basically request on field going you're not going to question and I'll just say I I don't think you're going to find a better piece specially a piece of property that's got Road on three sides I'm telling me and I'm and I on Saturday but it was good. as you noted infrastructure is in place sewer line water line and they're upgrading sewer as we speak then I'll pass right through their Cheyenne we do have a 6 today due diligence while I was in there for a week after today we got $60 to continue to do all of our leg work I called the architect and talked to him and it was a lot of things little things that you don't really think about he said it didn't have at least a 6 inch water line which I never would have thought that but he said the reason that you did because of a sprinkler system name something goes across the front of it that's what that little line is right there call a blue stream we could have to put a small fence around it but the Arctic don't think so and City we need on a date with that but you know it's right there at the airline and what's going to happen and I don't know why y'all know that or not but Crowell Lane whence comes out and hits they're fixing to Wyanet going across and then go home and all that up and it's going to come out right over there beside the interstate and that's not approved so and if there be starting on that now that's going to give us some more access to everything and you know when we're getting ready to do that so you know but I mean I can't find any better you tell me. What is a great Mark is a blue line on the maps where I can see what it is and it is just a creek and it can be Drive times or fluoride water time so that's where it came from and I also think you were talking about the bond issuance that would be good to let you know that financially this would put us in any kind of circumstance where would you know the financial situation we will wake me up we had some Bond money left over that we didn't use plus we had some Bond money on some previous Prime used if we could didn't have to use right fan and so we're using Bond money to purchase this property so when we get our due diligence something done we're ready to go. I wasn't trying to do anything underhanded or anything like that but he wasn't going today was going to deal with no way with me so and I almost lost it one time. Called and said they don't call us ever again I'm about 30 minutes later while we got everything straightened out drawers and was some misunderstanding and miscommunication some lies so the question y'all got any right to vote I make a motion we proceed with the purchase second thank you I'll send y'all you can bring your bill in the mail from now also answer that and then he's approved when did the resolution approval of resolution to claim the district will reimburse yourself for certain expenditures relating to purchase illegal pipe property but proceed the bond issued by the district we had reached out to our legal team and they have drafted a resolution for the board upon approval and as was stated earlier Jones brummett required or weave quested 28 million in bonds and we only use 24 almost 25 million that vacated some of that space with initially had some other bonds that worked out that could be utilized the plan would be a pain score approval is that our fund balance which is healthy we're able to go ahead and purchase this property and then we will reimburse ourselves to this resolution and to stay the resolution resolution authorizing an acquisition of real property for school purposes they claim the intent Special School District of Wilson County to reimburse itself for certain expenditures and connection from the proceeds of bonds or nuts to be issued by the district this land acquisition hereby authorized and approved for an amount not to exceed 5 million dollars the house in the nice for that one square foot house is currently raining in Mike's on the take care all that and I think we can just kind of leave a minute while I there a year we decide that we can pretty much notice to get out I want all of us to go over and look at it and see what I think about it it's another track in the very back and spend that two anchors with it but most of that is Red Lion so I don't think we made it and I don't know why we need to go into the house and then I don't know anybody else died or not because of me but even facing three rows do you realize how many tracks you would cut off of that tomorrow I mean I'm just tracks you know and not being an apartment complexes so I think I'll for voting for this 1st and Mason to get this done with house wishman long time started Samsung nightvale in good shape right if I am I know that's the only people we can go to to to make sure so questions on the resolution mostly passed the resolution answer your phone that's your phone just so you're next on our agenda as approval of Esther 3.0 addendum six months we have to get State approval which we have gotten for Sr fund the state's back Frito it's the only changes to those assets or funds we got in a roof bid that was that came in under which is amazing and thankful for coming in there that we use those additional funds to purchase two more boxes to upgrade our Fleet we also allocated some more funds to actual tutoring Transportation gas cost I'm so that's where those differences would be everything else is as has been and route just needs board approval to move forward I guess your phone's when was Hazard mitigation plan other medications Miss Kurtz do you want to get them the rundown of that large document you sent to us hopefully everybody got that email that concluded it I would have rather done that to print it off and handed each of you because it's team is playing we've never been considered a jurisdiction before but that allows us to get separate funding and they just changed that post covid we actually have a claim pending with FEMA has been approved the state dance at the trickle down and then it's about $30,000 from 2020 reimbursement for what the district spent on some of the covid supplies that we purchased but all the government's government bodies of already prove this I think you could water down so we're the last ones to approve it I would I would we not there would be a reason not to questions I can approve the Lima Hazard mitigation plan second four-wheeler concealed weapons detection yes sir mr. Jones and bored we discuss the same any safety aspects recently we have a very good safety plan that we continue to upgrade and update one of the things that we have looked at in previews weapon detection let mr. Kurtz speak to what we have and next steps moving forward and and really just that this is a piece of several for our overall safety strategies several districts across the state that have dim this type of product our district as hard on myself I know that was kind of schools is gone over in in demo this as well there's just one school district in the state that I'm aware of it's done Mass purchases of this DeKalb County Georgia just allocated 8 million dollars for this same system if you've been to a Titans game that's what we're talkin about it save people an hour I'll make use of analytics and artificial intelligence technology to be able to detect weapons it's all online I'm not telling any secrets but it it does detect weapons in and of themselves and it wouldn't detect up by for a paperclip if you can turn it down that much but it's more geared towards paint guns rifles that type of thing that it it's going to monitor and we have a deployment plan that we're putting together that I would be part of our overall safety plan that's not public record so I would discuss it individual if you'd like we asked for executive approval based on the pricing structure changed March 1st I talk to the vendor today and it's more the lease option now it's not forever scope one single Lane this year is what we're looking for you're not it's a we have a plan we have that correct way of the deployment plan that we're putting the gas I don't know when you going to be there I can share some with you the only question I had was with Brian today was with safety since we only have one of them is this just a instead of looking at doing something for all the schools I know moving around fine but I would rather have safety for all the schools and just have something to where you just have it at one school cuz I'm asking like Waze I'd like that if it's something I mean even if we just had to get more police officers you know what they wanted to get $70,000 is a lot of money for one machine with technology I don't want it like 5 years from now to meet or something like that I just want to make sure if it's a plan that you know where I can we do need to buy a spare tire we need a full size tire and if we can do all the schools I would rather do all the schools instead of just do one because how fat how we going to differentiate with school going to do it I probably should have that machine there I just it's just a scenario where you're looking at what you know we can't prevent we talked about this we can't prevent things can happen anywhere in a day people that have issues but I just think that we could do something implemented all the schools that end just level the field level security kit you know I mean even not saying dogs but they have present at all the school just going to help Elevate that you know I think they don't mean half the time they run to Wine by if you don't know if it's working or not I'm just saying that but if there could be something that week after that instead of buying this one unit where what if we don't sit and watch a music latest to start off with Auto I think he's talked to the police department and they're willing to Brian dog up there anytime we want to and just running down the hallway is that correct me if I'm wrong Mike and they can't smell it so globally we have a plant at 8 week we do have a plan what the future would look like and I can't disagree with you more I mean I agree with you more I would love to have X amount of dollars to plan what we're going to do to increase the safety and all schools we can't predict what's going to happen but there's add-ons to some equipment we already have that will give us some artificial intelligence capabilities as well on Metro Government just look to do that same add-on we were in discussions with our current vendor right now there are the capability to have any type of animal a dog to do any type of service that we need is a phone call where we're looking at a bigger plan than that though that wheat that out I would love to sit down individually with each of you to go over kind of what we've put together and a lot of this is with the parents that were the last meeting and we met with them and they had some great ideas that it when we sat and talked to them that we would like to discuss about that but I don't some of the things we would like to do or want to do would being part of our safety plan. We would not want to discuss it this because it is public record and not that we're hiding anything but we don't want the general public to realize what we had what we can and do have a vehicle to put in place end of reinforce mr. when we had the conversation earlier and with mr. Jones it's we don't want anything to seem like it is a Band-Aid it isn't part of the process and it's not in response to make sure we keep our schools actual device we've been looking at for about two years of the price point has come down over that time and it so it's it's not something that is royalty I knew that we decided all of a sudden to say hey look at it it is something we would like to go and Implement and my thinking with doing a single thing that you can also do a double lame as well as one device to it to look at it is I want to see what it what is actually can do on our campuses but we can move at elementary schools which there are separate entrances there's a lot of things that come into play because not everybody enters through indoor everyday and so but I think this is a step in the direction of what we need to do you want your thing if there's there's a training process but it would be this year that it could be up and running yes sir are these the sros will play a part in it we would we already have people at the doors and so we would have an administrator as well as other Personnel it's it's not they're made to be mobile this one is made to BMO we've already assigned that to a person in our district to make that happen so how much money are we going to get from the from the state for same to you major but you know what they're telling us is part of their the safety Granite self there is allocated out at ISA so it it would be in there which they say it's going to be a little bit more than we normally would have gotten the BP formula how much more but they definitely has allocated another 20 million dollars which about equals what we generally get which is somewhere around the 70 $75,000 range that we get in our safety Grant competitive Grant so how do you feel about putting I can till we see the capabilities and I want to see it what it what it looks like and it's kind of hard you hope that it's so effective we never catch anything get the deterrents alone I can't answer that question to say if we had all the money in the world I think this is a great solution know what I was thinking to go on your kids and I'm going to regardless don't matter I mean my suggestion would be to see how this works then put it in if it works great and you all of it and honest kind of put it in the neck there was no no more have we been this out at all so it is it is on a contract we piggybacked off of contract it it's a bent it's out of Bedford County contract and the price point on these are pretty solid because there is a Motorola ours are the way ours are tied in has to be a Motorola type device this company evolved makes it for different Bend hours of tied to Motorola products and it sits on our internet along with our other two products that we have forsaken which is our analytic cameras in our access control system Heather's triggered built-in inside of that that do certain things for our district is there any other options that we looked at for security other than the end-all-be-all transport so you know you mentioned wanting you know we currently do that one site in our district it's more of a controlled site there's a Time aspect of that as well and there's demand power respect I was telling mr. how Delta David are you get into the wind picking up the abstract metal metal by the floor that type of thing where is it a is it a reading then you have to have additional Personnel to pool to decide or an adult decide to do a pat-down search once that happens and so normal metal detector which would be not movable either and looks Draconian type where it's it just isn't effective that you would say when you walk into the courthouse or something like that and if you notice when you walk in how much Manpower it takes this this is set up to take two people one to monitor the screen and iPad and then one there to assist if something is located so to answer your question we have other methods and I think it's a process if she if you would call years ago we put in our secure vegetables which was a big commitment that the district made that I think I'm even nicer Hamlin who is he only one that one of the sros is the only ones that are technically exposed if they're in their office because of how do we have an office is located but you can't gain access into the school year in a compartment and that was a step but I think it's time to change we have to go with technology and this is an advanced systems I mean you have Boone schools got six doors come in on schools is that for so where you got enough to go on all six of them doors at 11 units 11 unit and that's that's why we were starting with the don't let me that would be the one you put on the front door or whatever if you put one on a huge price break on something like that I would imagine so and I think there's there's there's a adjustment that we could do to traffic flow of the students as well that they're routed certain ways you know talk about this quite a bit schools weren't made to be present weathers one Dory come in and when do you leave you no schools were made to be schools and we try to make it look as normal and integrates well into the school but I think I'm up with the traffic flow I'm not cars but students in in the building that could be adjusted to minimize the cost do you have any idea how many entrances we have it the difference we got over there Bells Ferry I think they use three main entrances so if you look at that as a model I went for Bryant has one Walter J you said wait for brown has how many days 1103 is the most we would have any one school I would say if that was the way we chose to go yet but I think we could probably even reduce it more than that mainly you look at car riders and bus riders as if you don't have a lot of room for vehicles I can maybe backup out on the street so they get split up into different doors I think if you're going to meet him like what you're saying I think I mean I think one would be good way to start like you're saying it expected kind of make sure that it works and then all the sudden you have buyer's remorse but yeah remind me to if the one that died and it just works tremendously well in the next 6 weeks now what does that mean two lanes 1 entrants are okay now the one we purchase is a single line so it'd be a single single door I put a the model that is on there as well as a dual line by was looking at that wondering if you know when you say Do a Lion that beat two different no one machine and then if if we operated high schools we would almost have to have a dual line but I think our model the way we have things set up week and if get away you know other than probably the last five minutes of arrival it's generally kids flowing in the period of time and even our bus is all don't arrive at one time Bakers or whoever walks through that also right at this point we don't have a plan because when you start dealing with adults and screening adults it opens up a different type of fish why shouldn't you know students we have a lot more leeway with and I'm not saying that's not the plan going down the road but if Vince but we wouldn't have the capabilities of being a door are being in our main entrance as well as where the student interests are at least with this one model absolutely absolutely and even depending on the setup of security at some after school events or extracurricular events we would just have to have the proper personnel there that are trained and the security there to be for the handle a situation so far from all the different school safety a run right now on we did look to deploy that every school that's good slow down the speed of traffic through with the plan is when they get the system in they're going to set it up at their office and give everybody an opportunity to go over if you would so you get up those leave it said that's where we're going to do our training is at their office I don't have to go back through is it going to be a sad way to probably won't even be there at that school when they go to get wheels yeah I'm afraid of utilizing every day that I would have known that thinking like a b only but for them use it for schools I'm definitely the vendor today and it's he's already got a shipping label that it's it's being processed and they actually had ordered one for themselves the demo and ours is going to come in prior to there's so it is and they are our primary vendor for Access Control in our cameras and I did verify that everything that we order is on a already missed a bid and out there I would say we're not so I know of three other school districts that I talked with that are in the process of discussing funding for the ease and so I think that as technology advances they'll be more willing and a half million dollars basically to avoid looking forward to proving every school did you say this we're just leave yes that's why we went ahead and no it's that yes it's that top price single line with a one year lease on one year licensing agreement one-year license in your we pay a license agreement on most of our software every year so yeah there's a will have to license this every year effective first-year fifteen thousand a year 15000 does all that grades updates to the Analytics so it amazes me the technology pieces that we have not just with this the cost that we have to pay to purchase a license every single year from our virtual backup systems to all of that the end we're not buying any hardware for not buying any new software for the purpose in life is it going like firewalls and things like that that to make sure nobody can access to it, like it ties into our current system that were using and within that system there is licenses that we have to apply the cameras and access control our one-time license though since it's for an upgrade and it includes everything that we need as as they Advanced the technology they push out firmware updates software updates. 15000 / unit claims Mo state if Journey if you bomb 3 forever School when it comes time to renew their home right now so you would have to bring you the whole system I don't know the answer to that because I I'm not a technology Guru I really don't know I can tell you that because of how the software integrates and you could imagine the technology artificial intelligence as well as the metal detection forward and rear-facing cameras there's a lot of Technology built into this that has to be kept up that's what I like to do learning is my cell phone was not something like that but we are concerned about it and we're going to take her kids whatever we have to do if we have to do without something else you know that's the most important thing that I want to see young protected you know I'd rather see our kids for taking and I'll let the parents to feel like the kids off with cat get there and I think that y'all are done a good job of it improve things and make things we can't make everything perfect especially the first year taking you know there's no telling what we'll be out in the next 3 or 4 years do that so you are making an effort that's all we can do and I think that's a good a day that you were you were done and you feel good about it and I know that you stated this cuz I know how you are because you don't study for me the other one not bored you would Dallas so but I think it's good that you were arguing is if I'm not don't stop it's a good idea to see how one of my projects and then decide what to do from there so discussions that we've had is reason the cost is the most prohibitive part here obviously if the price point was lower and we wouldn't even be discussing whether we need it or didn't need it I think that that that that did Steph be proactive instead of something happening and US react not not locally that I'm aware of I know I don't know I haven't been to Titans game in years but I know that the Titans deploy these and they move them I think they have 18 of these at the Titan Stadium in freeway in Fruity Loops 20 instant I'll take your keys out for them in the basket I need you to not saying that one time you had it hand off and raise it up and walking the Head Funeral all that kind of stuff but of course you know that caused considerable lines and stuff like that I'm sure that when the Wild Things Are you going to say hundreds of systems come out when I'm next to you Montana how many engineers working on that run at the current time I can think of many things our district has done that we're kind of we are the Leading Edge 12 1 2014 is a perfect example of the technology the emphasis that we want to play some technology for students and I look at this more as for the students safety than than anything else and it's not for go to town for show I think that there's a preventative measure that is students going to wonder where is it going to be is it going to be in my school today and there's there's two other pieces that we've discussed well that I can sit down individually and discuss it with you all that will make more sense to the deployment of this at a single site as well as put in these other two pieces in place I want a little more mobile is detect weapons only this it is mainly looking for concealed weapons type is heavy barrels any handguns and rifles it can be tuned down low enough to pick up keys or pocket knives shave abnormality you had in your back pocket and it would put a box on you it doesn't have a siren but there's someone with an iPad when we tested if we put different on the way back to the walkthrough simulated weapons in on us and we're going to get to see this before we deploy it we will have it set up there's an indicator light there's a green light red light is forward facing and then there's an iPad that shows the what it takes up I can forward you all the the video of the of what we saw, so I thought the same thing but a however the metal detection and the artificial intelligence works it doesn't penetrate like an x-ray does I don't know the technology behind it I could just tell you that the pieces they put the Heather and then there's triggers that go on our system that there's alerts there's other things that our system allows us to do that is built into our safety plan have a gun in there and turn around and wrap it up in your hoodie and packing in your bangs and you back back it up she'll pick it up through that any other kind of material that's weird. are the questions on that I did want the approval from the board on it I'll make a motion with approved it succulent plant item of new business is approval of Technology Surplus that is your last document various text pieces from various vendors and we need to offload those make room for Chromebooks how much are Chromebooks now director of operations commenced looking at the Charlie Charlie but you did so fortunate to outfit basically are either whole second grade of a sixth grade we're looking somewhere around there $150,000 there's a whole lot of things we had come to us already has intact heart in her system already with the software on them Chromebooks to be somewhere for $500 range shouldn't from Webster about the three $400 range depending on what model we go with kindergarten for first graders get laptops a Wonder on iPad do in 2nd to 5th or come up with the four-year deployment with those and Middle School's Chromebooks with a three-year deployment obviously do all middle schoolers allowed to take him home it's an abuse so we do carry the warranties on those as well as some of our staff we happy few worth 812 a day that come in a blackout over the years early on it seemed like we had more missing but no we you know we have a pretty good track record of even students don't leave have them shipped back to you from even the other schools right now we have HP and Lenovo south of the Court were looking at her some Lenovo devices we try to look at a little part of your fokir system I know we used to do a long time ago before I started that we would be up or braids and give them to the lower grades and we would buy new ones every year no because second graders keep them for 4 years and then the middle schoolers Kiki them in sixth grade and keep them to the 8th grade we are we have switched we last year was the first year that rode out with a bit of a separate case where they take them out and then they're not protected we've gone to more of that would cut a gumdrop case it's a plastic case with kind of rubber edges so that all in it and it's collapsible they're not in a separate case so in that is a cheaper option than buying the surfer cases well so will you have them start of the next year
