Those attending: Gary Moriarty, Diana Smith, Bonnie Halley, Murray Wilson, Wendy Lyons, Pam Krewson, , Randy Blecha, Gary Slump (3D/I), and Kent Bosworth (3D/I)

1. Public Comment: No members of the public at large in attendance.

2. Approval of the Plan:

What the Board Approved: Bond plan booklet prepared by 3D/I specifies use of bond money. Cochise only new construction, with major remodel of Tavan. Dr. Blecha and 3D/I confirmed that expenditures by site will also be broken down by project. Gary Slump explained how this will be done, and how they will keep committee, board, and community informed of plans as they become finalized. Project costs will not be available until February or March; 3D/I will ensure that projects will not exceed budgets. Press releases and posting on website suggested to publicize progress.

Selection and Scope of Architects: Each of the five architects will be assigned projects best suited to their particular field of expertise. Dr. Blecha confirmed that all money was available now, so there will be no delays due to restricted cash flow.

Timeline for Implementation: What Happens Next? While money is available, schedules must be coordinated for summer work, as some work must be done when no students are on campus. Meetings are underway with the City Building Department to expedite our applications, etc. for the anticipated 30 projects. Kent Bosworth outlined the general process: first is schematic (basic); next, design development estimate, which is generally pretty accurate; construction documents with specific details; formal bid process.

3. Role of the Bond Oversite:

The committee was encouraged to share information on the bond projects with the community so the public is aware of how the money is being spent.

4. Information on Bond Status

Quarterly Reports

Schedules: 3D/I will produce reports linking schedules, cost information, etc. by site and by project. Final approval of architect and project manger contracts set for 11/2/99 Board meeting.

Budget: If budget changes, committee and board will be updated quarterly. Remodeling is more liable to fluctuation due to unknowns that can occur once construction begins. Asbestos abatement is one factor that can impact budget. There was discussion on whether building renewal money will be available for abatement.

Website: Reports by school, by project, with weekly updates, to keep public apprised of bond projects. Goal is that website will be in operation by December quarterly meeting. It was suggested that website start with technology, then remodeling; not have DC Ranch as the first item.

Dates (4:30 - 6:00 at the Education Center): Dates for future meetings were set for the Thursday before a Board meeting, as follows:

December 9, 1999

March 16, 2000

June 15, 2000

Individual Projects Underway: HVAC projects; all-weather tracks; Mohave boiler; Saguaro parking lot; Mohave gymnasium and Laguna roofs. Roof replacement is to be funded out of building renewal money rather than bond.

5. Status Report on DC Ranch School

Footings will be poured beginning Friday, 10/22 ,on lower level, with masonry work starting November 16. Completion is set for December, 2000.

6. What About Equipment?

Dr. Blecha asked members if they were aware if the topic air conditioning of buses was discussed. It was pointed out that this is listed in the May, 1997 Bond Summary. Assessment of equipment suggested, with a sensitivity to buses in the southern schools being considered before northern schools.

7. Other Questions & Answers: Question raised about money still available from previous ('93) bond. Of the approximate $3,000,000, most is designated for technology at the schools, with very little remaining for construction.

The comprehensive report 3D/I will prepare will include all bond expenditures, not just construction money.

Meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m.
