C
D
F
C
Sally
Wilson,
you
provide
an
immeasurable
service
to
the
students
of
Tyler
Heights
Elementary
School,
the
instruction
and
assessment
of
your
students
being
familiar
with
the
cultural
backgrounds
and
the
knowledge
you
share
with
other
classroom.
Teachers
are
all
critical
factors
in
student
improvement.
The
initiative
you
show
in
a
diverse
school
system
is
truly
amazing.
On
behalf
of
the
Board
of
Education.
I
am
pleased
to
present
you
with
the
educator
of
the
Month
award
for
October
2017.
Please
join
me
upfront.
C
D
Well,
first
I
was
prepared
to
come
here
and
advocate
for
more
ESL
teachers
and
that's
what
I
thought
I
was
doing
today.
But
this
is
this.
Is
such
an
honor
I
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
not
only
for
representing
our
school
and
what
Tyler
hates
means
and
what
our
population
represents
in
our
community,
which
is
such.
D
Of
Anne
Arundel
County
and
for
Annapolis,
so
it
means
a
lot
to
meet
for
this
particular
month
being
Hispanic
Heritage
Month,
to
be
able
to
shine
a
light
on
all
the
diverse
educators
which
we
have
so
many.
We
have
a
number
of
them
at
our
small
Tyler
Heights
who
are
bilingual,
who
bring
lots
of
assets
to
our
school
to
our
communities,
so
I'm
very
happy
to
be
able
to
represent
all
of
them
and
to
be
able
to
speak
for
our
children,
for
our
families
as
well.
So
thank
you
so
much
well,.
C
D
C
A
A
number
of
us
visited
schools
this
week
with
char
lotto
and
other
members
of
the
team
for
back
to
school,
and
that's
always
a
great
time
to
see
everything.
I
attended,
I've,
kicked
off
September
under
the
lights
and
went
to
a
Glen
Burnie
South
River
football
game,
which
is
always
great
to
see
and
South
River
won
so
go.
A
Seahawks
and
I
also
have
attended
for
back-to-school
nights
in
the
past
week,
and
the
administration
at
Glen
Burnie
high
school
has
to
be
the
most
fit
administration
in
the
school
system
because
of
how
much
they
have
to
walk
that
building
and
through
all
of
those
things,
I
got
such
a
workout
going
to
back-to-school
night
between
all
the
buildings,
so
hats
off
to
all
of
them,
and
then
mr.
Gillan
and
I
held
a
board
outreach
event
in
West
County
in
the
Laurel
area
on
Saturday,
and
that
was
great
to
meet.
A
A
Egaita
is
excellence
in
gifted
and
talented
education
and
we
had
10
schools
in
the
county
and
the
state
were
recognized
and
three
of
them
were
from
Anne
Arundel
County,
so
Piney,
Orchard,
Severna,
Park
and
Crofton
Elementary's,
all
recognized
as
well
as
the
middle
school
principal
of
the
year,
George
Lindley
and
the
assistant
middle
school
assistant,
elementary
assistant
principal
of
the
year
Laurie
Barnes,
and
so
that
was
great
to
be
there
to
see
them
all
recognized
for
all
their
hard
work.
So,
let's
item
2.08
is
the
crash
report.
H
Good
morning
president
Hummer
dr.
Otto
and
other
board
members,
my
name
is
Giulia
Paola
and
I'm.
A
senior
at
Annapolis,
High,
School
and
I
am
the
chief

of
the
Chesapeake
Regional
Association
of
student
councils
I'm
pleased
to
report
the
crass
cos
back
on
our
normal
routine
of
Wednesday
night
meetings
here

There's
no
meeting
this
evening
because
of
Rosh
Hashanah,
but
we
were
back
on
next
week
at
6:30.
So
far,
the
school
year
attendance
has
been
great,
we're
seeing
a
record
number
of
medical
middle
school
students
this
year.
H
Younger
teenagers
are
a
welcome
sight
at
craft
meetings.
We
aim
to
represent
the
best
interests
of
all
students
in
the
county,
so
the
contributions
of
middle
schoolers
helps
us
consider
the
experience
of
those
who
aren't
currently
in
high
school
on
Friday
September
29th
members
of
crass
executive
staff
will

Medical
Center
we're
looking

to
this
event

from
various
school
chapters
of
students
against
destructive
decisions.
We

be
presenting
a
workshop

change.
H
Historically,
crass

partnered
to
help

Ten

We're

Anyone
just

Portion
of

minutes.
Each.
The
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that

or
viewing
this

and
personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be

in
this
forum.
This
time
is
intended
for
speakers
to
voice
their
opinion
and
not
necessarily
as
a
question
and
answer
period.
A
I
Good
morning,
Madame
president,
mr.
vice
president
members
of
the
board
and
dr.
our
lotto.
This
is
my
first
time
making
a
comment
before
the
Board
of
Education
I'm,
actually
only
a
second
year
parent
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County
Schools
having
come
from
Howard
County,
my
name
is
Sarah
Lacy
I'm
here
both
as
a
mom
and
as
a
president
of
the
Arundel
woods
homeowners
association.
Arundel
woods
is
a
relatively
newly
constructed
neighborhood
in
Jessup,
specifically,
two
of
my
children
attend
Jessup
elementary
school.
I
Well,
the
reason
why
I'm
here
is
because
we
have
a
very
serious
and
urgent
transportation
issue
that
needs
to
be
resolved.
All
the
parents
in
the
community
agree
that
this
needs
to
be
resolved
and
there's
no
reason
for
it
not
to
be
resolved.
This
is
basically
a
tale
of
two
buses.
There
is
one
bus
that
is
bus,
204
bus
204
is
the
main
elementary
school
bus
that
serves
Arundel
woods.
I
It
stops
at
the
intersection
of
wigleigh,
Avenue
and
gable
Drive
that
intersection
I
would
ask
for
someone
from
the
board
to
ensure
that
the
supervisor
of
Transportation
has
actually
looked
at
that
intersection
and
gable
Drive
going
into
a
Rundle
woods
Drive.
Just
yesterday,
bus
204,
the
driver
refused
to
drop
off
any
children
in
the
afternoon
because
he
was
20
minutes
early
from
when
the
bus
had
normally
been
there.
No
parents
had
received
notice,
and
so
there
were
no
parents
at
the
bus
stop.
I
Big
trucks,
garbage
trucks,
recycling
trucks,
every
kind
of
truck
possible,
including
buses,
can
come
into
our
neighborhood
ride
around
the
loop
and
exit
back
on
cable
drive
and
I
said
this
is
a
tale
of
two
buses,
because
there
is
a
bus
that
four
times
a
day
is
traversing,
cable
drive
and
coming
into
and
out
of
our
neighborhood
that's
bus.
Eight.
Seventy
six
and
I
have
looked
at
all
of
the
policies
and
regulations
of
the
board
that
apply
to
transportation
and
as
I've
gone
through
them.
I
There
is
no
reasonable
explanation
left
for
why
we
don't
have
a
bus
stop
in
arundel
woods.
This
matter
is
urgent
and
we've
been
told
to
wait
indefinitely.
Well,
the
developer
and
the
county,
just
departments
of
inspection
and
permits
do
what
they
need
to
do,
but
there
is
no
requirement
in
the
regulations
that
there
has
to
be
an
actual
County
permit
or
approval
to
get
a
designated
bus.
I
J
K
A
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
this
item
may
offer
to
testimony
during
this
time.
There
will
be
no
public
comment
on
this
when
we
come
to
this
item
in
the
agenda.
As
this
is
the
public
hearing
time,
speakers
will
be
allotted
three
minutes
each.
The
board
asked
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting.
Students,
students,
specific
and
personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
forum.
A
L
Good
morning
president
Hummer
members
of
the
board
and
dr.
R
lotto,
my
name-
is
Allison
Picard
and
I'm.
The
proud
parent
of
three
AAA
CPS
awesome
students
in
the
Glen
Burnie
cluster.
As
you
move
to
vote
on
the
FY
19
capital
improvement
budget.
Today,
I
would
like
to
share
some
thoughts
with
you
last
night,
at
the
Richard
Henry
Lee
elementary
school
back-to-school
night,
the
school
community
recognized
Judy,
Van,
Horn
and
Melissa
Phillips
for
their
volunteer
and
advocacy
work
over
the
last
decade.
L
Last
spring,
the
Glen
Burnie
Rotary
Club
recognized
Kristin,
Etzel
and
Judy
van
horn
for
advocacy
work
on
behalf
of
their
schools
as
well
advocates
like
Van
Horn
at
Sol,
melissa,
phillips,
rachel,
jennifer,
jennifer
Brianza
and
countless
others,
including
students,
have
been
working
tirelessly
in
the
glen
burnie
and
old
mill
school
clusters
to
move
their
schools
forward.
In
this
complex
process
of
construction
funding.
They
have
sat
in
this
room
in
their
red
and
blue
and
gathered
crowds
at
county
level.
Hearings
as
well,
however,
they've
been
told.
L
The
best
way
to
advocate
for
their
school
is
to
become
the
biggest
cheerleader
for
the
school's
ahead
of
them
on
the
list.
Really
these
advocates
are
now
fighting
for
much-needed
school
construction
renovations
that
their
own
children
will
not
even
benefit
from
anymore
due
to
these
projects
being
pushed
out
farther
and
farther
every
year.
So,
with
all
due
respect,
I
think
it's
time
that
we
all
put
on
our
red
and
blue
and
pick
up
the
fight
for
schools
like
Richard
Henry
Lee
quarter
filled
elementary
rippling
woods
and
Old
Mill
high
school.
L
These
schools
are
not
only
on
the
top
of
the
current
priority
list,
but
have
been
on
the
top
of
priority
list.
Since
the
MG
Chiefs
first
study
in
2006
students
and
parents
in
district
2
have
watched
as
other
projects
get
forward
funded
by
the
county,
while
their
schools
are
left
to
languish
on
the
list.
In
fact,
12
out
of
the
23
schools
on
the
current
priority
list
are
in
the
Glen
Burnie
and
Old
Mill
clusters.
Families
at
Richard,
Henry
Lee,
were
finally
presented
with
the
revitalization
revitalization
plans.
Just
this
past
year.
L
Is
there
funding
safe
this
year?
Will
construction
really
start
next
fall
old
mill?
School
construction
advocates
have
watched
their
funding
bounce
around
in
the
CIP
process
from
FY
18
to
19.
It
was
pushed
back
to
2021
last
year
by
the
county
executive
and
this
year
it's
back
for
y'all
to
vote
on
for
2020
the
land
for
the
new
high
school
has
been
purchased
for
a
new
high
school,
but
when
will
it
be
deeded
to
the
school
system?
A
M
K
A
N
Thank
You
president
Hummer
in
many
of
our
communities.
We
have
large
groups
of
constituents
that
are
concerned
about
the
proposed
alignments
for
light
rail
from
the
asset.
Excuse
me,
the
SC
maglev
project
in
particular,
some
of
the
proposed
alignments
include
Odenton
elementary
school
and
also
proposed
tunnel
beneath
Linthicum.
Elementary
school
was
any
consideration
with
SC
maglev
and
those
proposed
alignments
taken
into
the
current
on
a
CIP
proposal.
O
For
the
record,
a
Love
Shack,
no,
which
none
of
the
current
projects
impact
either
of
those
two
schools.
So
the
answer
to
that
is
no.
However,
we
continue
to
monitor
the
proposed
hearings
that
are
going
on
facilitated
by
the
state,
so
we're
continuing
to
assess
the
situation,
but
there
is
no
cross
paths
between
the
CIP
and
those
projects.
O
Well,
that's
certainly
possible
under
board
a
certainly
Liberty
to
do
that.
One
of
the
issues
has
to
do
with
the
compounding
effect
of
sliding
projects
backwards
and
forwards.
If
you,
if
you
go
back
to
the
board
budget
that
was
adopted
as
approved
by
the
County
Council
of
this
past
year,
you
know
that
there
were
a
number
of
projects
that
were
not
funded,
including
or
fully
funded,
including
Edgewater,
Kyle,
orbiter,
Henry,
Lee
quarter
field,
Hills,
Mir,
rippling,
woods,
etc.
O
That
are
projects
that
are
lined
up
ahead
of
the
Mountain
Road
corridor,
so
they
were
zeroed
out
by
the
county
governments
budget,
of
course
we're
trying
to
continue
to
improve
on
that
situation,
but
there
has
to
be
a
balancing
act
between
what
was
approved
by
the
fiscal
authorities
last
year
in
terms
of
what
they're
signaling
in
long
term
plan
and
our
plan.
So
there
is
a
potential
for
some
slippage
of
our
19
requests
into
22
would
move
the
FY
2012.
O
The
other
issue
that
we're
constrained
by
is
that
the
county
has
been
aggressively
forward
funding
the
capital
projects.
Thankfully,
much
much
later,
beautiful,
they're
increasing
the
bond
longevity
from
up
to
a
30-year
cycle
for
school
construction
projects,
but
the
state
of
Maryland
is
increasingly
becoming
in
arrears
for
for
their
liability
towards
us.
So
if
you
want
one
tittle
Paige
at
a
capital
budget
request,
which
is
the
one
that
speaking
to
the
state
request
by
moving
that
in
Road
corridor
forward,
we
would
really
be
further
sort
of
ballooning
up.
O
The
this
request
from
the
state
instead
of
being
sort
of
6767,
would
be
up
into
the
you
know:
73
74
million
dollar
range
and
we've
only
been
receiving
on
the
order
of
about
thirty-five
million
dollars
to
date
kind
of
on,
on
average
over
the
course
of
recent
times.
So
by
shifting
Mountain
Road
corridor
forward,
we
would
be
asking
for
more
than
double
what
we
would
ordinarily
or
customarily
be
accustomed
to
receiving
from
the
state
of
Maryland.
So
I
think
it's
absolutely.
O
O
Because
we're
you
know
again,
we
are
in
catch-up
mode
because
of
our
aggressive
forward
funding
on
a
county
side
and
thankfully
so
these
projects
that
we're
under
construction
right
now,
you
know,
wouldn't
even
be
going
had
it
not
been
for
the
county
to
forward
fund
it.
But
at
some
point
in
time
that's
going
to
stretch
the
capacity
of
the
county
to
continue
to
do
that.
We've
got
a
sort
of
lytic
state
catch
back
up
with
us,
so
that
the
county
then
is
positioned
a
forward
fund.
Q
Q
When
you
say
you've
been
tracking,
that
is,
that
is
that
something
that
is
publicly
available
and
where
I'm
going
with
this.
Let
me
kind
of
give
the
explanation
for
the
question
is
I.
Guess
as
I
understand
it,
that's
a
state
law,
but
if
the
public
is
going
to
be
able
to
make
their
views
known,
whether
they
think
that's
a
good
idea
or
not
to
to
their
elected
representatives,
they
need
to
see
the
deltas
and
I'm
wondering.
Is
that
kind
of
done
on
a
more
informal
basis?
Q
Would
there
be
a
formal
way
that
an
estimate
could
be
assigned
to
a
specific
project
to
say
this
elementary
school
that
was
closing
is
going
to
cost
fifty
million
dollars
if
we
did
not
have
the
prevailing
wage
requirement
and
no
we're
not
saying
whether
we
should
or
should
not
have
it
we're
just
giving
the
public
the
information?
If
we
did
not
have
that,
we
estimate
it
would
actually
only
cost
whatever
50
million
is
thirteen
point.
Six
I
don't
know
forty
five
million
forty
three
million.
Is
that
something
that
we
could
do
per
project
so.
O
Many
of
the
jurisdictions,
including
Anne
Arundel
County,
have
been
doing
what's
called
side
by
side
building
which
is
bidding
the
same
project
same
set
of
plans
same
set
of
specifications
and
asking
the
contractors
to
bid
it
both
ways
with
prevailing
wage
and
without
prevailing
wage.
The
state
of
Maryland
has
asked
that
we
furnish
those
numbers
to
them.
O
The
public
school
construction
program
up
in
the
MSDE
building,
so
the
best
source
of
that
information
on
a
global
basis
would
be
through
for
a
constituent
to
ask
it
of
MSDE
because
they
are
collecting
it
not
just
from
Anne
Arundel
County,
but
their
data
set
is
more
robust
in
ours.
We've
got
a
micro
view
on
the
impact
here
locally.
The
states
have
been
collecting
it
from
various
jurisdictions
and
sort
of
has
a
running
tally
of
the
differential
between
bidding
it
in
both
directions.
O
We
know
that
Kern
and
Rondo
as
two
other
counties
and
again
that
information,
then
that's,
that's,
captured
in
the
bids
and
it's
been
a
part
of
the
different
contracts.
The
sport
is
voted
on
contracts
that
have
been
bid
both
ways,
so
that
information
is
publicly
available
here
locally,
but
we've
all
been
at
the
request
of
the
state.
We've
all
been
remitting
that
information
to
them
in
Baltimore
and
they've
been
aggregating
it
from
all
24
of
us
released
those
that
have
had
applicable
project
since
that
law
came
to
fruition
in
2015,
okay,.
Q
J
Q
That
that's
a
lot
for
a
regular
citizen
to
do.
Is
there
something
that
we
could
do
to
make
those
make
that
Delta
a
little
bit
more
front
and
center
again,
not
weighing
in
on
whether
it's
you
know
good
as
a
policy
matter
or
not,
but
just
to
make
the
information
available
to,
for
example,
the
people
that
come
to
these
meetings.
As
this
as
this
budget
goes
through
the
process.
O
O
We
don't
know
what
the
information
is
on
a
more
broad
basis,
as
the
states
goes
through
its
budgetary
process
this
upcoming
year
I
would
suspect
that
their
data
set
has
been
enriched
yet
further
by
real
live
bids
that
have
occurred
in
the
last
12
months,
so
we'll
probably
be
able
to
get
more
real-time
information
out
of
the
state
as
we
go
through
their
process
in
the
months
ahead.
Okay,.
Q
Well,
I,
don't
know
whether
this
needs
to
be
a
motion
or
it's
something
that
can
just
be
directed
and
done,
but
where
I'm
going
with
this
is
I
think
it
would
be
good
if
our
materials
made
it
front
and
center
so
that
everyone
could
see
again
without
us
weighing
it
cuz
we're,
not
the
legislators
to
make
the
decision,
whether
that's
the
appropriate.
You
know
thing
to
do
under
the
law,
but
so
that
everybody
can
see
it
every
step
along
the
way.
This
is
how
much
this
is
costing.
O
Again,
when
those
projects
are
bid
and
when
the
consent
agenda
item
comes
before
you,
those
numbers
are
part
of
the
attachment.
So
there
are
already
a
matter
of
the
public
record
and
they're
part
of
the
vote
for
project
that
is
bid
side
by
side.
So
the
public
already
has
access
to
that
information
via
the
agenda
item.
That's
publicly,
you
know
posted
advertised,
etc,
I'm,
not
sure
to
what
extent
we
could
further
elaborate
upon
that.
What.
Q
What
we
could
do
and
again
this
is
just
a
matter
of
making
things
a
little
bit
more
user-friendly,
and
you
know
if
it's
possible
so
I'm,
looking
at
a
sheet
of
paper.
That
has
you
know,
for
example,
a
total
all
categories,
216
million
dollars.
What
I'm
proposing
is
that
all
of
these
sheets
of
paper
would
reflect
okay,
two
hundred
and
sixteen
million
dollars.
You
know
under
the
prevailing
wage
requirement.
Here's
what
we
estimate
it
would
be
without
that.
So
that
would
be
presumably
thirteen
point.
Six
percent
less.
B
I'll
have
another
question
in
a
minute,
but
this
is
in
relation
to
what
he's
talking
about.
I
mean
I,
think
that
it
would
be
make
more
sense
to
do
it
on
the
contracts
themselves
rather
than
the
proposed
budget,
because
the
proposed
budget
uses
the
state
the
state
mandated
per
square-foot
dollar
amount.
So
you
know
you,
you
don't
necessarily
change
it
based
on.
You
know
whether
you're
using
prevailing
wage
or
not,
but
I
I
wouldn't
object
to
seeing
on
the
cover
sheets
for
contracts
for
capital
budget
items.
B
I
understand
that
it's
in
the
backup
information,
but
seeing
something
that
says
you
know
like
a
separate
line
and
I
know
we
have
lots
of
lines
already,
but
a
separate
line
that
says
you
know
under
prevailing
wage.
This
contract
would
be
X
under
if
it
were
not
under
prevailing
wage.
It
would
be
it
if
there's
some
way
to
do
something
like
that
is
that
yeah.
M
B
Is
the
place
to
do
that,
but
I
think
maybe
individual
contracts
that
are
let
it
would
make
sense
to
do
it
there,
because
some
contracts
would
be
covered
by
by
this
and
some
wouldn't,
and
so
it
might
not
be
the
whole
school.
It
might
just
be
portions
of
the
school
so
that
that
would
be
my
suggestion.
If
we
could
ask
the
superintendent
and
his
staff
to
look
into
how
to
add
an
item
just
for
clarification
for
the
public.
My.
K
K
Q
Miss
Burch's
idea,
if
I
could
just
go
one
step
further.
What
I
would
like
again
just
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
user-friendly,
so
when
we're
at
the
end
of
the
entire
budget
process,
whatever
number
gets
approved
finally
approved,
that
number
has
next
to
it
right
next,
so
everybody
can
see
it.
What
that
number
would
be
if
we
did
not
have
that
prevailing
wage
requirement
and
I
would
just
require
tallying
up
all
those
contracts
that
Delta
between
them.
That's
that's!
Q
Where
I'm
going
with
this,
you
know
I,
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
the
capital
is
not
gonna,
sit
down
and
count
up
all
these
contracts
and
figure
out.
Well,
we
know
the
Delta,
for
this
particular
school
is
ten
million
dollars.
What
I'm
saying
is
as
part
of
our
function.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
present
that
number
so
that
the
capital
can't
put
that
out
there,
and
so
that
citizens
can't
see
that,
and
if
citizens
agree
with
it,
they
can
say
hey.
We
think
that's
great.
Q
I
B
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
distinguishing
between
the
two,
because
you
kept
saying
on
the
budget.
You
would
want
that
presented,
but
it's
when
you
budget,
you
haven't
let
the
contracts
yet
so
you
don't
know
yet
what
those
bids
are,
so
it
would
have
to
be
after
every
contract
had
been.
Let
then
you
could
say
here
are
final
results
on
such-and-such
a
school,
but
you
couldn't
do
it
prior
because
you
don't
know
exactly
yet.
So
that's
why
I
think
that
you
know.
Perhaps
you
know
the
superintendent.
A
O
B
On
a
different
subject,
I
have
a
question
about
the
the
old
mill
series
of
projects.
I
know
that
really
getting
started
on
these
I
believe
is
somewhat
dependent
upon
the
purchase
of
additional
property
so
that
we
can
start
moving
the
schools.
Can
you
tell
me
about
the
status
of
the
purchase
of
Papa
John's
farm
by
the
county?
Is?
Has
that
gone
through
yet,
or
are
we
still
waiting
for
that
to
be
finalized?
We're.
O
O
B
O
B
A
A
K
J
O
For
the
record
I
like
check
I,
don't
an
exact
number
at
hand,
but
you
know
the
board.
Members
simply
need
to
realize
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
county
actually
does
not
have
public
gas
service,
but
many
of
our
peninsulas
do
not
have
even
gas
lines
run
down
them
by
be
Genii,
etc.
So
you
know
where
we
have
the
opportunity
to
run
our
natural
gas.
We
do,
but
it
simply
does
not
exist
in
in
large
swaths
of
the
county
and
in
those
locations.
O
C
O
So,
where
we
have
the
opportunity
once
gas
service
becomes
available
and
we
have
a
project
etc,
we
are
migrating
towards
natural
gas
over
time
as
opportunities
present
themselves,
but
until
the
utility
supplier
continues
to
build
out
their
net
work,
we
simply
don't
have
that
opportunity
into
it.
Align.
Finally,
you
know,
passes
our
property,
and
then
we
can
look
to
access
that.
Thank.
N
Thank
you
so
in
reviewing
the
report,
I
noticed
on
page
12
of
the
report.
The
preventive
maintenance
office
since
its
inception
in
1994
has
undergone
a
58%
reduction
in
staff,
leaving
equipment
at
risk
of
increased
maintenance
needs
in
the
future.
Just
to
help
me
better
understand
what
have
been
some
of
the
leading
causes
to
that
reduction
in
staff
why'd,
you
cut.
O
N
O
It
does
is,
it
allows
the
preventive
maintenance
activities,
things
like
lubrication
belt
changes,
filter
changes,
etc
to
happen
on
a
more
timely
basis,
which
would
extend
a
life
of
equipment.
So
if
you
have
a
piece
of
equipment
that
is
expected
to
last
15
years,
for
example,
if
you,
if
you
have
a
robust
preventive
maintenance
program-
and
you
treat
it
well,
you
can
have
that
15
year,
piece
of
equipment,
actually
last
17,
18
19,
you
get
more
years
of
life
out
of
it.
O
If
you
don't
perform
the
requisite
preventive
maintenance
activities,
then
you
are
at
risk
to
that
piece
of
equipment
having
a
shorter
life
than
it
would
have
otherwise
been
anticipated
ofat.
So
that's
that's!
The
correlation
between
longe
xpect,
along
GEMA,
t
of
an
asset
versus
the
preventive
maintenance
regime
applied
against
it.
Alright.
N
Okay,
thank
you
as
we
move
ahead
and
consider
the
overall
budget
that'll
be
an
important
consideration,
certainly
and
I
just
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
reading
this
correctly.
It's
my
first
time
through
one
of
these
budgets
am
I
correct
in
in
reading
that,
in
in
the
last
fiscal
year,
I'm
sorry
I'm,
page
7,
page
7
of
the
report
that
in
the
last
fiscal
year
we
requested
7
million
to
address
the
backlog,
and
we
were
only
funded
at
4
million
to
address
the
backlog,
correct
and
we're
working
with
a
160
million
dollar
backlog.
No.
O
That's
not
the
only
dollars
that
apply
to
it.
Is
there
funding
schedule
there
on
page
seven,
all
of
those
dollars
collectively
or
apply
it
against
it,
not
simply
maintenance
backlog.
The
maintenance
backlog
item
tackles
projects,
for
example,
that
are
ineligible
for
state
funding,
so
you'll
see
just
on
that
same
funding.
Schedule
see
low
further
down
something
called
for
example,
facility
system
component
replacement
as
a
20
million
dollar
request,
that's
a
combination
of
state
and
can
about
12
million
from
the
county
and
8
million
from
the
state.
O
Likely
that
would
not
occur
again.
You
know
the
physical
infrastructure
continues
to
age
and
our
capital
reinvestment
into
our
facilities
does
not
equal.
The
the
rate
of
expiration
or
deterioration
of
facilities
so
year
over
year
to
backlog
continues
to
increase.
So,
for
example,
the
back
of
the
calculated
backlog
this
year
is
five
point
eight
percent
larger
than
it
was
at
this
time
last
year.
So.
N
O
B
B
O
O
So
it's
always
again,
you
know,
we've
got
a
capital
program
and
we're
trying
to
tackle
it
from
various
various
aspects,
and
it's
always
a
combination
of
ensuring
that
you
know
we
continue
to
take
care
of
our
aging
fleet
of
infrastructure
continue
to
address
our
capacity
concerns
continued
update
our
buildings
programmatically
so
that
they
can
support
today's
educational
delivery
models.
So
it's
always
a
very
delicate
balancing
act
about
how
we
deploy
our
resources.
J
I
think
mr.
Rhinehart
touched
on
something
that
we've
talked
about
for
a
long
time,
and
that
is
the
ability
to
and
you
years
ago,
I
remember
some
things.
You
say:
Alex
said
as
if
you
had
your
own
home
and
you
have
a
roof
and
you
don't
do
any
repairs
or
you
have
whatever
and
and
then
you
have
to
that.
That
becomes
a
big
problem.
If
you're
able
to
have
the
personnel
other
than
the
twenty
one.
J
O
It
is
because
again
the
you
know,
the
very
definition
of
a
backlog
essentially
miss
Talley
is
that
you
know
you've
got
a
you've,
got
a
series
of
work
that
you
should
have
accomplished
this
year,
but
because
of
fiscal
constraints
or
other
forces,
you
didn't
eradicate
that
entire
list
eradicated
some
portion
of
the
list.
The
unaccomplished
or
incomplete
element
then
rolls
forward
to
next
year,
but
next
year
you
already
had
a
list
that
was
due
next
year
as
well.
So
now
it's
next
year's
list,
plus
the
incompleted
portion
of
the
current
year.
O
N
Thank
you
for
helping
me
have
that
clarification,
miss
Talley.
So
as
we
we
just
looked
at
the
capital
improvement
plan
for
construction
of
new
schools.
Does
this
maintenance,
a
maintenance
plane
that
we
have
in
front
of
us?
Does
it
take
into
account
some
that
backlog
being
eliminated
by
proposed
new
school
construction?
It.
N
That
326
million
I
already
took
into
account
all
the
new
construction,
correct:
okay,
switching
gears
to
a
different
percent
on
pages
13
and
14
of
the
report.
I
read
that
energy
conservation
division,
remotely
programs,
the
scheduled
start
stop
times
and
operates
heating
and
cooling
equipment
to
maintain
proper
temperature
set
points
according
to
building
occupancy
and
after-school
activity,
requests
at
approximately
98
percent
of
our
schools
done
by
Internet
connections
to
central
monitoring
office.
What's
preventing
us
from
getting
to
100
percent,
essentially.
O
There
two
schools
that
are
remaining
in
a
capital
program,
so
it
would
make
no
sense
to
and
to
install
an
expensive
energy
management
system
into
a
building
that
we're
about
ready
to
undergo
a
comprehensive
renovation
replacement.
So
a
school
like
rolling
Knowles,
for
example.
We
don't
have
that
connectivity,
we've
not
made
that
investment
because
we
know,
hopefully
in
another
year
or
two
we're
gonna-
be
tearing
that
building
down.
So
that
number
is
continued
to
I'm,
sorry,
rippling
woods.
Everyone
knows
so
that
that
number
has
continued
to
grow.
A
So
when
I
look
on
page
seven
at
the
all
the
various
sources
that
are
used
to
handle
maintenance,
it's
about
32
point
1
million,
which
is
close
to
that
thirty
two
point:
six
to
eradicate
in
ten
years,
but
doesn't
take
into
account
the
growth
each
year.
For
that
so
we're
making
progress,
but
not
enough
right.
O
But
again
on
the
capital
budget
that
you
just
approved,
for
example,
we
are
asking
in
that
maintenance
backlog
category
that
was
the
funded
element,
so
in
the
maintenance
backlog
category
we're
actually
asking
for
7
million,
not
four,
so
we
are
requesting
monies
to
try
to
to
bridge
that
gap
to
be
able
to
structurally
keep
up
with
it.
So
your
you
know
your
position
in
them
in
a
manner
that
I
think
we're
requesting
a
fairly
reasonable
amount
of
funding.
The
question
is:
how
will
the
chips
fall
out
when
you
appropriation
authorities
so.
A
A
K
J
A
M
A
A
So
we've
had
full-day
kindergarten
since
2007,
but
we
are
still
working
to
provide
the
space
needed,
so
we
still
have
13
schools
that
need
to
have
so
miss.
Now
you'd
asked
about
the
open
closure
schools
and
you
hope
those
were
done
before
you're
gone
and
I'm
gonna
hope
that
before
I'm
gone,
we
can
get
all
these
kindergartens,
but
I
will
see
how
that
works
out
what
and
then
and
then
we'll
have
to
be
adding
on
pre-k
additions.
So
it
will
never
end
all
right.
Is
there
any
public
comment
on
this?
All
right?
M
A
A

During
the
2017
legislative
session,
the
Maryland
General
Assembly
passed
legislation
subsequently
signed
into
law
by
Governor
Larry
Hogan.
That
requires
at
least
one
member
of
a
public
body
to
take
a
training
class
focused
on
the
Maryland
Open
Meetings
Act.
The
designee
must
be
named
by
the
public
body
by
October
1st
2017
and
must
participate
in
a
training
class
within
90
days
after
designation
public
bodies
that
do
not
designate
a
representative
on
or
before
October
1st
2017
would
not
be
able
to
meet
an
executive
session.
A
M
B
B
So
the
the
Act
requires
that
at
least
one
member
of
every
public
body
undergo
this
training.
There
are
several
ways
to
get
the
training.
One
is
a
very
short
online
course
that
is
not
necessarily
relevant
to
school
boards.
You
can
also
get
it
through
the
Maryland
Municipal
League,
which
I'm
hoping
is
what
cities
and
towns
do
through
a
Maiko
which
I'm
hoping
is
what
the
counties
do
and
now
Maeve
is
an
authorized
provider.
B
Our
association
of
Boards
of
Education,
so
I
went
to
mabe
last
Thursday
and
had
a
very
thorough
training
on
what
the
Open
Meetings
Act
requires
the
changes
that
have
been
made
to
it
recently.
You
know
I've
been
through
Open
Meetings
Act
trainings
before,
but
this
is
the
only
one
that
counted
legally
and
I.
B
B
It
thoroughly
covered
everything
we
need
to
know
from
whether
something
is
a
meeting
at
all
to
whether
it
can
legally
be
closed
for
certain
things,
and
if
I
am
ever
not
here
at
a
meeting,
then
we
have
to
fill
out
a
form
required
by
the
state
and
all
of
those
items
will
would
be
public
record
as
part
of
the
minutes.
So
I
don't
know.
G
A
All
those
in
favor,
okay,
we
are
now
going
to
close
session.
The
next
meat
board
meeting
will
be
held.

October
18th

policy
committee
meeting
