Treasurer’s and Fund Balance Report – She handed these reports out to the board member.
Transfer of Funds – $30,000 was transferred to the transportation fund. If the state would have paid us before July 3rd this transfer would not have been necessary.
Superintendent’s Report – Superintendent Andy Siegfried reported on the following:
Boiler Room Maintenance – There were some pumps that just got replaced recently.
Air Conditioning Unit – The air conditioning unit in the Tech Lab was serviced as it has not been serviced in a while. There are still problems and he will call them back out to look at it.
Heating Pump – The heating pump in the office failed and started to leak. It needed to be replaced.
Cleaning– There has been a lot of drilling for the new fire system causing extra cleaning.
Construction – We are technically on schedule for construction. We were about a week behind because in the kitchen the asbestos, tar, and glue was so bad it took them an extra 4 days to clean it up. They came in and worked some extra hours so we are no back on schedule. He passed out information as to the cost of the construction. There were a few things added.
Doors – There were 8 doors tested and they did not pass the test. We will have to replace these doors in the future.
Hallway – He obtained a quote from ServiceMaster and if we need to they can come in and clean and wax them in one night. This will be a good option if we need it.
