Completion of remaining project will be in next summer: Electrical (75% complete) HVAC system (65% complete - need to install outside system and ductwork).  Began 7-12 restoration of gym, cafeteria roofs as of today. Will be finished this month. New roof has 20 year guarantee. Cameras around CIS/CPS buildings and playgrounds upgraded to HiDef thanks to grant funds received by the district.

(Interim Treasurer) Would like that we hold a special board meeting for presentation and adoption of annual appropriations. Meeting will be September 27th at 7:00 pm. Presentation will be 5-10 minutes. Appropriations are being modeled after last year’s schedule. Don’t anticipate big presentation
 
 
6. HEARING OF THE PUBLIC (RELATED TO AGENDA ITEMS OR GENERAL COMMENTS)
  •  Rich McIntyre - Streeter Road - President of the Crestwood Youth Football and Cheerleading - see 3 big reasons to harvest opportunity to improve facilities - bond issues for CIS/CPS dropping and fire station levy coming off, plus Geis money and Corbett money. Based on his calculations, would be around $5.6 million coming into district over next 15 years. His thought is to get bond issue into place to improve building and athletic facilities- adding competition gym, walking track, auditorium, remodeling old gym to be new cafe, turf fields. Wants new buildings, better auditorium, more community experiences within the facilities. He feels he has a positive approach to hep push bond issue through and a large community within Youth Football/Cheer to support it. Wants to better our district. Need to harvest this opportunity.
  • Mrs Hoffmeister (soon to be new Treasurer) - wants to thank everyone working with Interim and herself through the transition time 
  • Tim Benner - Pioneer Trail - Class of 1975 - Robert Corbett donation - reached out back in July to Board - wonders what the current status of the money and what will be done with the money. Karen Shulz responded "you’ll see some action later on tonight, but still thinking about the bulk of the money. Best to call, email, or meet with Dr Toth." Benner finished - Mr Corbett obviously can’t speak, but in his opinion some of the money needs to go to the Baseball program. Know that new scoreboard will be going in but thought that had been approved prior to the money being given to the school district.
