B
Good
afternoon,
everyone
Welcome
to
the
October
audit
and
finance
committee
meeting.
B
B
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
ask
for
approval
on
the
adoption
of
the
agenda.
I
moved.
Second,
okay,
thank
you,
they're
in
a
Corrections
or
changes
to
the
minutes.
If
not
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept.
C
C
B
First
thing
on
the
agenda
is
occurred
over
the
last
few
months.
You
know
brief
reporting
of
the
disparity
study
that
was
started,
I,
think
in
2021
and
the
the
Consultants
that
have
been
working
with
the
district
on
completing
that
study
is
coming
to
the
end
of
the
study
and
they
are
going
to
give
us
a
preliminary
briefing
today.
B
B
C
You
Miss
green,
just
as
background
context
in
2021
the
district
was
commissioned
was
looking
at
the
Capitol
Building
program,
as
well
as
procurement
practices
associated
with
a
disparity
study.
D
Foreign
thank
you
Miss
Williams,
and
to
board
members
green
and
Colts
in
the
entire
audit
and
finance
committee
meeting
Sherry
I
believe
you
may
have
trained
privileges
screen
sharing
Privileges,
and
so,
if
you
would
just
pull
up
the
deck
for
us
to
commence
the
discussion.
D
While
Sarah's
bringing
it
up,
let
me
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
the
school
district
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
this
disparity
study.
For
you
all
the
period
we
looked
at
to
cover
this
comprehensive
disparities
that
included
fiscal
year
16
through
fiscal
year
21
and
as
you
can
imagine
that
covered
both
pre-covet
activity,
as
well
as
during
covet
activity,
and
so
we
are
excited
to
be
here
before
you
and
I
want
to
give
some
acknowledgments
for
this
body
and
moving
forward
courageously
and
conducting
this
study.
B
Screen
share
Dave,
so
you
we
may
just
have
to
do
it,
as
is.
D
So
again,
thank
you,
Autumn
Finance
superintendent
for
commissioning
this
disparity
studying
allow
our
military
to
perform.
It
next
slide,
please
before
there's
an
outline
of
this
discussion
today.
I
will
cover
briefly
a
little
bit
about
our
background
experience
how
we
got
to
this
point.
D
The
the
legal
framework
which
governs
the
disparity
study
in
and
of
itself
share
at
a
very
high
level,
the
approach
and
methodology,
some
of
our
statistical
findings
and
recommendations
that
we
are
making
before
and
for
considerations
for
the
board
and
the
district
thanks
a
lot
so
a
little
bit
about
us.
We
are
the
creators
of
disparate
study
industry.
We
conducted
our
very
first
disparity
study
in
1988,
the
prevailing
legal
framework.
The
Crossing
decision
came
out
in
1989
and
in
our
study
in
1908,
we
correctly
anticipated
the
direction
of
the
courts.
D
We've
been
doing
this
for
over
30
plus
years,
and
we
are
a
based
out
of
Atlanta
Georgia
and
the
map
to
the
right
sort
of
gives
you
an
idea
of
our
national
practice
as
it
relates
to
the
district
for
which
the
the
circuit
for
which
the
district
sits
in
the
fourth
circuit.
We
are
currently
either
completed
or
orn
are
in
the
process
of
completing
disparity
studies
and
we've
done
at
least
eight
in
that
area.
D
Clearly,
as
a
result,
during
this
Parish
study,
we
we
rely
heavily
upon
District
staff
as
well
as
local
players,
and
so
we
have
a
very
strong
subcontractor
team
to
include
local
firms,
local
firm,
Coastal
Focus,
as
well
as
a
research
firm
who
assisted
us
in
our
surveying
elements.
Next
slide,
please.
D
So
the
legal
framework
I
mentioned
the
crossing
decision,
where
the
U.S
Supreme
Court
is
set
forth
the
precedent
that
must
be
considered
when
conducting
disparity
study
and
where
there's
a
compelling
government
interest
and
a
fraction
factual
predicate
supports
it.
The
test
is
whether
or
not
the
district
has
been
an
active
participant
in
discrimination
or
passive
participant
discrimination
say
it
differently.
D
D
We
Institute
a
10-part
methodology,
which
consists
of
an
industry
analysis,
it's
just
a
statistical
analysis
as
well
as
a
market
analysis,
and
each
of
these
components
lends
itself
to
our
conclusions
and
recommendations.
The
legal
analysis
simply
outlines
the
legal
standards
our
mentioned
Richmond
V
Crossing,
as
well
as
adorant
opinion
and
they're
prosely,
particularly
in
the
fourth
circuit.
The
procurement
in
mwb
culture
and
systems
analysis
both
quantitatively
and
qualitatively,
examines
the
district's
current
Contracting
practices
to
determine
its
impact
on
the
cultures
and
systems
of
mwb's
ability
to
do
business
with
the
district.
D
The
relevant
market
analysis
seeks
to
determine
the
geographical
boundaries
Within,
for
where
the
county
performs
a
substantial
part
of
his
business
activities.
We
Define
substantially
70
to
75
percent.
The
the
availability
component
is,
quite
frankly,
the
most
contentious
part
of
a
disparity
study
and
inside
of
that
we're
determining
who
what
firms
meet
the
rwa
criteria.
Rwa.
It's
the
acronym
for
ready,
willing
and
able
utilization
component
is
one
of
the
most
straightforward
components
of
disparity
studies.
D
In
short,
it
is
who
you
are
actually
procuring
goods
and
services
from
then
we
make
some
adjustments
related
to
capacity.
Then
the
marketplace
analysis
seeks
to
address
any
other
services
that
are
available
in
the
marketplace
that
helps
to
better
prepare
minority
and
women-owned
businesses
to
be
viable
resources
for
district
opportunities
to
include
our
race
and
gender
analysis,
where
we
are
speaking
to
executive
directors
of
management
and
technical
assistance
providers
in
determining
what
they
view
as
success.
D
D
One
of
the
more
interesting
findings
in
conductance
disparity
study
is
historically,
we
tend
to
see
a
e
Services,
as
well
as
as
well
as
construction
and
construction
related
Services,
relevant
Market
being
defined
as
a
local
area,
more
consistent
with
the
local
area,
whether
or
not
is
the
City
of
Charleston
or
a
broader
area,
the
MSA
of
Charleston.
But
what
we
found
is
the
proponents
of
your
services
are
coming
from
either
the
state
level
or
firms
located
outside
of
the
MSA
or
from
a
national
wild
perspective
in
terms
of
Construction
Construction
related
services.
D
If
we
shift
up
to
look
at
the
individual
procurement
types,
you
are
seeing
the
same
distribution
consistent
with
the
relevant
Market.
That
was
currently
that
was
previously
presented,
and
so
you
can
see
some
variances
where
mwbes
may
be
faring
better
in
some
instances
and
provides
opportunity
areas
and
others
next
slide.
Please
the
next
series
of
slides.
We
have
the
very
same:
look,
they
are
comparing
utilization,
which
is
in
blue
to
availability
in
this
first
slide
starts
with
a
e
and
so
for
each
other.
The
desperate
groups.
D
D
The
outset
is
a
fairly
lengthy
agenda
item
and
for
the
spirit
of
brevity,
we'll
just
sort
of
flash
through
these
and
I'll
just
sort
of
note
and
pause
for
a
brief
second
to
allow
you
to
Embrace
and
observe
what
how
the
utilization
availability
shifts
as
we
move
across
procurement
types,
and
so
this
is
a
e
Construction
and
construction
related
services.
D
Non-Professional
services
and
I'll
pause
here
for
a
second
just
to
sort
of
highlight
and
preview
the
disparity
component.
When
conducting
a
disparity
analysis.
We
are
looking
at
the
proportion
of
a
respective
ethnic
groups
availability
compared
to
that
proportion
of
utilization,
and
so,
when
you
see
utilization
exceeding
availability,
the
the
disparity
cap
disparity
ratio
would
perceive
that
as
being
over
utilization.
And
so,
if
I
look
at
non-mwbe
here
as
well
as
African-Americans,
you
see
with
a
blue
outpaces,
the
orange
that
will
represent
over
utilization.
D
D
Similar
you
see
for
goods
and
supplies
which
is
depicted
here
next
slide,
please
yeah!
So
here's
the
disparity
ratio
concept,
it's
a
fairly
Elementary
concept,
where
we're
comparing
a
proportional
utilization
compared
to
proportion
of
availability.
We're
testing
to
see
if
we
reach
parity
parity
is
indicated
by
the
red
diagonal
line,
which
says
that
your
percent
utilization
by
The
District's
activity
is
reflective
of
your
representation
in
the
marketplace.
Where
availability
exceeds
utilization,
you
will
fall
below
that
line
and
other
utilization.
D
This
is
just
a
a
picture
you
may
have
to
take.
My
word
that
at
the
very
bottom
of
this
is
each
of
the
respective
procurement
categories,
a
e
Construction,
related
Services
goods
and
supplies.
The
point
I
want
to
note
here
is
the
black
horizontal
line
is
an
indication
of
parity.
D
All
the
red
bars
that
exceed
above
so
red
indicates
significance.
Any
bars
that
are
below
the
parity
line
indicate
significant
unrealization.
D
Next
slide,
please
so
some
of
the
observations
we
glean
that
may
be
impacting
the
district's
ability
to
reach
its
goals.
Around
nwb
participation
are
all
captured
in
our
procurement
findings
and
there's
a
fairly
exhaustive
and
lengthy
procurement
chapter
that
supports
this,
but
at
very
high
level.
Some
of
the
practices
that
impact
the
procurement
findings,
whether
or
not
is
perceived
income
advised
by
the
program
managers
or
the
impact
of
emergency
procurements
use,
uses
of
usage
of
a
now
defunct
practice
of
direct
negotiations.
D
All
those
things
impact
the
ability
for
the
district
to
meet
is
it
stated
mwe
objectives
thanks
a
lot
as
a
byproduct
of
the
disparity
study,
there's
both
a
quantitative
component
of
it,
for
which
I
just
sort
of
shared
with
you,
as
well
as
a
qualitative
component
and
inside
the
qualitative
component,
we're
really
trying
to
understand
perceptions
and
experiences
when
attempting
to
do
businesses.
D
So
we
conducted
some
public
facing
components
of
it
to
include
three
focus
groups,
so
one-on-one
interviews,
for
which
we
had
a
lot
of
participation
there
and
we
have
a
pending
public
hearing,
that's
scheduled
for
the
13th
of
October,
but
some
of
the
themes
that
came
out
as
a
result
of
the
focus
groups
and
101s
is
a
perception
that
to
to
know
someone
is,
is
advantageous
to
participating,
there's
a
perception
around
biases
and
those
create
some
frustration
for
businesses.
D
There
is
also
a
perception
that
seemed
to
have
existed
for
the
participants
around
the
lack
of
knowledge,
understanding,
the
the
business
process
and
the
procurement
process
and
the
impacts
of
not
having
forecasted
opportunities,
and
then
there
appears
to
be
little
connectivity
to
the
vendor
Community.
These
are
just
themes
that
participants
share
in
their
experience
in
trying
to
do
business
with
the
district
next
slide.
Please.
D
Conversely,
in
non-professional
Services,
there
are
no
race,
conscious
initiatives
that
can
be
put
in
place
by
the
district
based
on
WE
recognize
that
the
Hispanic
American
all
firms,
while
they
are
showing
disparity
in
terms
of
being
unrealized.
That
disparity
did
not
reach
statistical
significance
next
slide,
please
and
it's
sort
of
lastly,
around
recommendations
that
we
will
make
enhancement
to
your
some
of
your
MBE
processes,
procedures
and
practices,
long-term
availability
and
capacity
building
initiatives.
D
The
the
district
has
done
a
really
good
job
in
leveraging
some
tools,
some
of
those
tools
are
now
defunct,
but
but
what
those
tools
had
allowed
for
is
the
building
of
of
capacity
for
businesses.
We
are
encouraging
the
district
to
continue
its
efforts
in
that
space
to
address
capacity.
D
We
love
the
fact
that
this
client
is
a
school
district,
because
you
are,
you
have
the
ability
to
mold
mines
and
you
couple
molding
Minds
with
understanding
what
the
buying
needs
are,
and
you
can
begin
to
leverage
entrepreneurship
programs
as
a
byproduct
of
educating,
kids
and
then
lastly,
I
will
sort
of
highlight
the
promoted,
mwb
participation
at
the
prime
level,
while
in
some
procurement
types
the
district
has
done
well
in
this
space
days
and
others,
there
remain
opportunities
and
next
slide.
Please.
D
And
so,
in
the
spirit
of
brevity,
I
wanted
to
at
least
capture
the
high
level
points
in
terms
of
findings
and
recommendations,
recommendations
as
a
result
of
conducting
a
disparity
study
myself
along
with
Sherry
Williams.
They
had
a
field.
The
project
managed
shares
sort
of
this
project
manager,
for
this
effort
are
hit
to
field
any
questions
that
this
body
may
have
as
a
result
of
hearing
very
quickly
in
learning
of
some
of
the
findings
and
recommendations,
and
so
Miss
Williams
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
E
D
In
terms
of
those
involving
we're
just
sort
of
finalizing,
we've
shared
the
body
of
the
document
with
the
district
we
are
taking
into
account
the
district's
reaction
and
comments
to
that,
and
once
we
make
whatever
adjustments
to
the
report
as
a
result
of
the
district's
responses
to
what
has
been
written,
they
will
then
reflect
finality.
D
There's
a
public
hearing
for
schedule
for
the
13th
that
public
hearing
is
the
last
part
in
terms
of
the
record
that
supports
the
disparity
study
that
public
here
we're
asking
businesses
to
come
out
and
share
their
perception
and
experiences,
and
so,
if
you
did
not
complete
the
survey
or
if
you
did
not
participate
in
a
focus
group
or
or
not
selected
for
the
one-on-one
interviews,
this
is
your
opportunity
to
share
to
ensure
that
it's
a
part
of
the
record.
C
And
Mr
Griffin,
if
I,
can
shed
some
light
on
where
we
are
with
the
district.
So
we
received
the
report
at
several
hundred
pages
and
so
we've
been
digesting
each
chapter,
making
sure
that
the
clarity
is
there
between.
What's
provided
in
our
interpretation,
providing
any
feedbacks
questions
comments
and
the
Miller
team
has
been
great
at
getting
back
to
us
and
kind
of
going
through
that
with
us.
So
that's
how
we've
been
engaging
during
this
review.
B
I
guess
from
from
it's
a
lot
of
information
and
I
I,
probably
have
more
questions
than
I
wanna
bring
up
here,
but
I
guess.
If,
if,
if
I
could
ask
just
one
general
question
about
the
overarching
theme
of
making
sure
that
the
district
is
aware
of
minority
contractors
to
do
business
with?
Are
we
missing
the
boat
on
that
at
all
I
mean?
Were
you
able
to
identify
when
you
look
at
those
availability
versus
utilization
are?
Are
we
missing
something
in
terms
of
the
availability
of
minority
vendors
that
we
are
not
using?
D
D
That
is
a
result
of
concentration
right,
and
so,
while
you
are
reaching
the
goal,
the
question
becomes
whether
or
not
the
diverse
pool
of
firms
who
are
allowing
for
you
to
reach
that
goal
is
in
effect,
diverse,
and
so
we
we
put
forth
there's
some
opportunities
for
the
district
to
have
a
little
less
Reliance
upon
or
having
a
concentrated
effort
with
with
certain
vendors
and
to
be
more
inclusive,
to
be
more
diverse
and
to
to
really
have,
particularly
as
some
tools
are
no
longer
in
the
tool
belt,
but
to
ensure
that
the
results
of
utilizing
those
tools
have
been
embraced
by
the
decision
makers
who
are
making
the
buy
decision
to
make
sure
that
mwbes
are
participating
equitably
with
their
availability
and
Marketplace.
C
C
We've
met
our
goal,
pretty
consistently
I
know
for
fiscal
22.
We've
exceeded
that
goal
so
so
to
Mr
Miller's
point:
it's
not
that
we're
not
meeting
the
goal,
it's
more
so
on
making
sure
our
practices
and
approaches
are
Equitable.
That
said,
as
the
report
was
being
developed
and
we
would
have
check-ins
with
the
Miller
group,
we
we
kind
of
course
corrected
some
items.
So,
for
instance,
we
have
the
250
000
list
over
250.
That
now
comes
to
the
board
for
transparency.
C
We
also
mitigated
by
making
sure
that
our
competitive
bid
processes
were
just
that
competitive
bid
by
eliminating
the
direct
negotiations,
as
well
as
we're
launching
an
internal
audit
just
to
look
at
all
of
our
procurement
practices
and
procedures.
That's
happening
this
current
fiscal
year,
so
we
are
to
Mr
Miller's
point
concentrating
and
paying
attention
to
it.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
I
will
probably
want
to
reach
out
to
you
Mr
Miller
personally,
because
my
like
I
said
I
do
have
some
some
questions
just
from
a
matter
of
understanding
and
and
also
want
to
work
with
the
district
in
making
sure
that
the
recommendations
are
applicable
and
that
we
can
Implement.
B
You
know
those
that
we
can
so
before.
I
conclude
this
section
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
any
more
questions
from
any
of
the
other
committee
members.
B
Well,
thanks
to
both
of
you
for
your
work,
it's
been
a
while
coming
and
I
mean
we.
We
know
a
lot
of
things
went
into
why
that
was,
but
we
are
happy
to
now
be
kind
of
getting
to
the
end
of
that
process
and
I
look
forward
to
talking
to
you
further
sure.
B
2017-2022
Capital
program,
phase
four
sales
tax
Tom-
is
that
Tom?
Yes,.
F
F
You
Mr
screen
and
committee
members,
so
the
first
thing
I
have
today
is
a
request
to
reallocate
funding
in
the
amount
of
620
224
dollars
from
Project
5292
or
two
252.92.
Basically,
we're
sweeping
up
some
excess
funds
from
projects
that
have
been
completed
in
years,
one
through
six.
In
order
to
purchase
more
student
devices,
the
devices
themselves
really
aren't
end
of
life,
but
Google
has
stopped
support
of
them
and
we
have
to
replace
them.
G
B
F
Ma'am,
so
the
second
one
is
a
request
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
attached
technology
Replacements
and
upgrades
six-year
plan
for
phase
five
sales
tax,
basically
structured
the
exact
same
way
as
it
was
on
the
last
phase.
We
did
remove
several
projects
that
are
no
longer
supported
for
instant
bulbs
for
projectors
printers
document
cameras.
We
took
out
the
contingency
project
so
other
than
that
the
projects
are
basically
the
same
to
take
care
of
infrastructure,
student,
mobile
devices
and
technology
backfill,
which
is
basically
rooms
that
need
technology
added
questions.
B
This
is
not
necessarily
related
to
this,
but
I
I.
How
do
you
feel
about
where
we
are
from
I
know?
We
can't
get
into
a
lot
of
detail,
but
are?
Are
you
good
with
where
we
are
with
our
security
measures?
F
Well,
I'm
glad
I
come
to
mind
every
now
and
then
so
honestly,
yes
ma'am
from
my
hardware
and
software
standpoint,
I
really
appreciate
the
support
of
this
committee
and
the
board
I
do
feel
comfortable.
It's
our
user
training
that
I
think
could
use
some
attention,
if
anything,
but
from
a
financial
standpoint
that
wouldn't
help
that
area.
H
G
B
G
Thank
you,
Mrs
Green
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
committee
now
Aubrey's
the
first
portion
of
this
motion.
This
addresses
our
phase
four
Capital
sales,
tax,
reallocation
recommendation
and
a
recommendation
to
approve
now
reallocating
funds
to
some
projects
that
were
different
from
the
approved
plan.
G
I
just
want
to
address
some
of
the
words
that
I
put
in
the
background.
I
used
a
dollar
figure
here
that
really
kind
of
undercut
a
bigger
picture
that
I
was
trying
to
make
here.
We
still
going
into
our
phase
five
program
had
about
a
267
million
dollar
backlog
in
our
maintenance
and
repair
program,
and
even
though
we
have
a
pretty
robust
phase
five
plan,
there's
still
some
opportunities
that
I
think
we
could
use
the
excess
for
phase
four
to
get
at
this
backlog.
G
We
will
still
be
even
with
our
phase
five
plans,
still
above
200
million
dollars
in
our
backlog,
and
we've
developed
some
projects
that
we
would
like
to
reallocate.
That
would
certainly
adjust
that
and
hopefully
keep
us
on
Pace
and
letting
us
get
too
far
behind
in
our
maintenance
and
repair
strategy.
So,
pending
your
questions,
our
recommendation
for
the
first
piece
of
this,
the
capital
maintenance
piece
for
our
reallocation
to
the
10
projects
that
you
see
there.
G
G
Well,
they
do
well,
they
do
they're
still
part
of
our
backlog,
so
I
think
to
your
point.
It
does
address
reducing
that
backlog.
These
would
not
have
been
done
if
we
weren't
able
to
use
this
reallocation
or
not
be
done
or
completed.
Okay,.
F
Ahead,
Tom,
yes
ma'am.
So
the
second
part
of
this
is
a
technology
Replacements
and
upgrades
we're
asking
for
15.7
575
million
to
go
into
three
different
projects,
all
of
which
were
on
the
original
phase.
Four
plan,
basically
we're
working
in
a
condition:
assessment
rating
plan,
our
PA
systems
are
aging
severely
and
we
don't
have
a
normal
funding
process
for
life
cycle
management.
F
So
this
will
allow
us
to
put
a
more
robust
system
in
all
of
our
schools,
as
we
are
in
new
construction,
which
will
tie
into
security,
surveillance
and
other
areas
as
well
as
the
teacher
use
or
sound
reinforcement.
The
other
part
is
going
to
the
year
one
Promethean
panels
from
the
phase
four
plan.
F
We
need
to
upgrade
the
operating
system,
which
is
basically
a
module
that
we
can
replace
and
then
also
Chromebooks
that
no
longer
are
supported
by
Google,
again
they're,
limiting
us
to
four
years
before
they
require
us
to
buy
a
new
device
and
a
license.
So
we're
kind
of
forced
into
that.
There
is
great.
H
H
Management
Tom
had
a
pretty
good
estimate,
but
now
that
he's
experienced
a
lot
of
these
systems
being
replaced,
he's
come
up
with
a
really
good,
detailed
analysis
of
what
it
will
take
to
provide
adequate
life
cycle
replacement
for
devices,
individual
devices,
classroom
devices
and
infrastructure
for
the
school
district.
So
this
at
this
point,
we've
got
a
really
good
handle
on
where
those
numbers
stand,
and
this
will
support
Tom
in
those
efforts.
E
H
F
We
had
all
of
our
funding.
Sources
is
15
million
in
our
life.
Life
cycle
cost
is
about
21
million
annually,
foreign.
B
E
B
It
now
okay,
thank
you.
Is
there
a
motion.
B
A
Thank
you
Miss,
green
and
committee
members,
so
for
the
phase
3
program
as
a
result
of
completing
our
brand
new
Emergency
Operations
Center,
located
at
Bridgeview,
as
well
as
a
reverse
reimbursement
that
we
received
from
Mount
Pleasant
Water
Works
for
our
Jenny
Moore
Elementary
project.
We
are
requesting
to
reallocate
a
hundred
and
87
274
dollars
to
the
district-wide
athletic
funding
project.
B
E
B
Next
item:
Michelle
2017
through
2022
Capital
program,
Facebook
sales,
tax
budget,
reallocation.
A
We
will
like
to
use
20
21.8
million
dollars
of
that
savings
to
the
projects
that's
listed
in
this
board
item
and
the
remaining
balance
to
go
to
program
contingency
pinning
any
questions
that
completes
my
phase.
Four
reporting.
B
Yeah,
you
should
be
any
questions
from
the
committee
if
not
I'll,
we'll
entertain
a
motion
so.
E
Quick
question
can
any
of
the
contingency,
or
can
any
of
this
go
to
the
repairs
and
maintenance
backlog?
Is
that
I
mean?
Obviously
you
all
are
evaluating
where
you
think
the
priority
where
the
needs
are,
of
course,
but
there's
a
little
bit
of
contingency
in
that
every
little
bit
matters
I
assume
on
our
backlog.
H
I
can
address
that
Michelle.
So
that's
a
really
good
point.
Mr
Griffin
we'd
like
to
hold
off
on
reallocation
of
all
of
the
excess
revenues.
At
this
point,
we
believe
that
the
projects
that
Ms
Shaw
has
here
are
are
critical
projects
and
and
take
priority
over
additional
funding
added
to
Capital
maintenance
at
this
time,
but
we
still
have
excess
revenues
left
in
phase
four
that
we
can
determine
a
disposition
on
after
the
end
of
the
sales
tax
program
is
completed
well,
it'll
be
completed
at
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
People.
E
B
Aye,
okay,
so
moving
right
along
Michelle.
You
are
still
with
us
here
on
the
2023-28
capital
program.
A
For
our
phase
Five
Capital
programs,
we
have
just,
as
we
did
earlier
in
the
year
with
our
wave
one
projects
within
phase
five.
We
are
coming
with
the
Wave
2
projects
under
the
phase
five
program,
the
Commodities
and
materials
still
remain
at
an
all-time
high
as
of
today,
and
we
are
looking
to
reallocate
25.8
million
dollars
of
phase
five
projected
revenues
within
our
program.
A
We
are
also
looking
to
reallocate
12.4
million
for
District
9
elementary
school
project.
Many
of
you
have
who
have
been
a
part
of
the
community
meeting
that
we
had
back
in
June,
as
well
as
the
presentation
that
we
presented
to
the
board
I
believe
a
month
ago,
or
so
you
would
have
seen
that
the
roundabout
within
the
conceptual
design
layout
is
being
a
requirement
from
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation,
that
we
add
that
as
a
part
of
this
project.
A
Also,
when
we
look
at
the
future
growth
for
the
D9
Elementary
School,
we
initially
started
at
600
students,
but
as
the
projection
showed
we
are,
they
have
about
I
believe
684
students
in
fiscal
year,
28.
so
to
accommodate
that
increase
in
that
population
for
future
growth.
We
increased
the
student
population
to
700
students
come
day
one
when
we
open
up
the
school
foreign,
so
that
gives
us
a
total
request
of
38.2
million
dollars
for
our
phase
five
wave,
one
as
well
as
Wave
2
projects,
and
that
completes
my
reporting
I'm
pending
any
questions.
B
So
does
this
give
us
the
everything
we
need
to
get
the
District
nine
started,
the
school
started,
I
mean
I,
know
the
design,
and
all
of
that
has
to
be
done,
but
that
that
should
take
care
of
us
for
a
minute.
Yes,.
H
A
Yes
ma'am
so
for
the
long-term
debt
projects,
we
are
requesting
a
real
reallocation
of
22
million
dollars,
and
that
too
also
addressed
the
increase
in
Commodities
in
Project
as
Market
escalations
that
we've
been
seeing
today.
That
includes
AC
Cochrane,
Deer
Park,
as
well
as
as
Morningside
Middle
School.
A
In
addition,
we
have
an
item
called
Midland
Park
land
purchase
and
Angela
just
got
back
the
final
assessment,
and
so
we
know
exactly
what
that
number
is
going
to
be,
which
is
up
as
high
as
seven
million
dollars
so
total
again
we're
requesting
22
million
dollar
increase
for
the
long-term
debt
projects.
That
completes
my
reporting
opinion
Penny.
Any
questions.
E
E
B
E
E
Could
these
these
items
not
have
been
funded
by
the
the
previous
sales
tax
savings
and
or
excess
revenues
that
we
had
received?
I
guess:
okay,.
I
B
C
So
I'm
sorry
I
thought
Mr
Griffin
you
were
asking.
Are
we
about
to
go
to
market
to
cover
the
funds
for
this?
This
is
a
reallocation
of
money
that
we
already
have
we're,
not
we're
not
about
to
do
a
new
issuance
to
pick
to
cover
this.
This
is
residual
funds
that
we
already
have
available
from
a
prior
Bond
issuance
that
we've
done
so
this
is
reallocating
that
fund
to
these
projects
identified,
and
it's
really
just
these
are
related
to
cost
inflation.
Right,
yes,
I
mean
the.
C
E
Yeah
I'm,
certainly
sympathetic
and
understand
the
construction
projects
around
the
country
are
all
have
all
gone
up
quite
a
bit
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
I
was
just
trying
to
understand
where,
if
this
was
already
approved,
what
you
know
if
this
is
a
reallocation,
I
guess
I
still
don't
totally
follow
where
it's
a
reality,
reallocation
from.
E
If
we
had
the
revenues
or
is
this
excess
revenues
that
we
collected
somewhere?
That's
I,
guess
that's
what
I'm
not
totally.
I
Yes,
thank
you
on
April,
26
2021.
The
board
approved
these
four
projects:
three
schools
in
one
land
project
that
were
on
the
phase
five
approved
project
list.
These
four
items
were
below
the
line
of
delineation,
which
we
have
for
our
projected
funding
the
board.
One
of
these
four
projects
moved
up,
funded
and
accomplished,
so
it
was
determined
to
borrow
in
a
long-term
debt
fashion.
These
bonds
will
not
come.
We
will
not
mature
until
2030
or
2032
I'm,
not
sure,
so
that
is
the
long-term
goal
there.
So
it
was
originally
approved.
I
I
J
I
Sir,
this
was
all
run
through
them
via
the
CFOs
Direction.
Yes,
okay,.
J
And
so
so
back
when
the
these
projects
were
first
approved,
the
the
analysis
indicated
that
we
were
still.
Although
we
were
going,
we
were
going
to
go
into
additional
eight
percent
debt.
We
would
still
be
on
on
track
to
to
retire
all
about
long-term
debt
at
the
same
point
in
time
that
we
initially
had
planned,
for
you
know,
I,
don't
know
decades
a
couple
decades
ago,
at
least
a
decade
ago,
and
so
that
was
around
2032
or
so
so.
This
does
that.
J
I
B
The
the
question
that
we
can't
answer
is
with
the
escalating
cost.
We
don't
know
that
we
won't
be
back
here
with
additional
I
mean
you
don't
know
that
I
mean
in
terms
of
until
these
projects
are
completed.
We
may
need
additional
funding
right,
but.
H
On
what
things
go,
this
is
our
best
estimate
based
on
current
costs
and
what
we
see
in
a
foreseeable
future.
Okay,.
B
Okay,
if
not
I'll,
entertain
a
motion
on
this
particular
item.
E
A
B
Okay,
I
think
we
have
finished
with
all
of
we.
H
B
Yeah
yeah
I
was
just
talking
about
reallocations,
okay.
So
the
next
item
is
the
citizens
oversight
steering
committee
Mr
Rory.
Thank.
H
You
Mr
Green
committee
members,
so
we're
bringing
forward
today,
for
you
is
a
recommended
membership
for
the
citizens
oversight,
steering
committee
for
the
phase
five
sales
tax
program
to
identify
Personnel
for
this
committee.
We
sent
letters
to
leadership
across
the
county.
We
received
one
two
three,
four,
five,
six
seven
names
at
Mr
Alice
was
mistakenly
left
off
this
list,
so
Michael
house
was
nominated
by
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
so
he
would
be
in
addition
to
the
six
members
that
are
listed
here.
H
This
is
a
very
good
composition
of
a
team
from
a
background
perspective,
as
well
as
a
demographics
perspective.
We
have
African-American
Hispanic
and
women
rep
woman
representation
on
this
committee
and
we're
looking
forward
to
moving
ahead
with
this
committee,
pinning
your
vote.
B
And
thank
you
for
your
continued,
your
your
continued
Service
to
this
committee.
Jeff
are
any
of
these
repeat
s.
B
If
not
I
will
entertain
a
motion
for
approval.
C
That,
yes,
ma'am,
so
Mr
Kent
Griffin's
membership
on
the
audit
and
finance
committee
ends
November
2022.
He
has
agreed
to
extend
his
membership
for
the
next
two-year
term
and
this
is
what
we're
bringing
forward
the
motion
is
to
approve
appointing
Mr
Griffin
to
the
committee
through
fall.
2024.
B
Okay,
Donna
one
balanced
commitment.
C
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you,
Miss
green,
so
we're
anticipating
that
we'll
close
fiscal
year
22
with
the
surplus
of
10
million
dollars.
This
10
million
dollars
will
go
back
into
fund
balance.
We
are
anticipating
this
two
million
dollars
from
two
primary
sources.
One
was
the
cost,
saving
measures
we
put
in
place
for
fiscal
22,
the
hiring
freeze,
discretionary,
spend
freeze,
Etc
and
the
second
was
unanticipated
tax
revenues
that
came
in
and
so
the
net
of
those
two
pretty
much
ends
us
up
with
a
10
million
dollar
Surplus
for
2022..
C
These
are
unaudited
financials,
so
we
have
not
closed
the
books
yet
so
it
can
slightly
change,
but
in
general
we're
asking
that
the
committee
would
consider
to
commit
this
10
million
dollars
to
fund
balance
for
Sr
program
sustainability.
This
would
be
for
Approved
prioritized
projects,
and
this
would
begin
to
begin
our
plans
and
efforts
to
hedge
the
funding
Cliff.
That's
anticipated
in
September
2024,
when
Esther
funds
sunset.
E
I
B
Are
there
any
questions
any
need
any
additional
clarification
on
what
we're
being
asked
to
do,
if
not
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
B
I
guess
this
is
I
was
just
thinking
through
this,
as
we
talked
about
it
last
week,
Sean
I
guess
this
is
kind
of
like
the
first
step
that
we
are
taking
looking
at
sustainability
for
our
that's
our
efforts,
I
mean
we
don't
know
exactly
what
the
needs
are
going
to
be,
but
at
least
we
will
have
this
amount
as
a
set
aside,
correct.
B
C
District
can't
sustain
the
200
plus
million
dollars,
but
for
prioritizing
approved
projects.
This
is
the
beginning
of
that.
Okay,.
J
B
The
next
item
is
the
procurements
over
250
000
dollars.
You
have
the
list
on
in
your
packet.
Are
there
any
questions
about
any
of
those
Mr
welfare?
Do
you
have
any
comments
about
any
of
those.
K
No
ma'am-
this
is
just
a
list
before
you
for
the
week
ending
September,
23rd
2022
and
we're
seeking
your
approval
to
move
forward
with
those
procurements.
I
B
Okay,
the
next
item:
wilter,
is
the
s-w-a-m-b-e
report
fiscal
year
2022..
Yes,.
K
Ma'am
the
report
before
you
for
the
fiscal
year
2022,
it
shows
that
we
issued
1064
POs
to
different
vendors,
which
466
were
to
swmbes.
K
B
What
what
do
you?
What
do
you
consider
them
the
biggest
challenge
with
with
this
with
trying
to
meet
the
I
guess
we
have
two
goals:
one
ten
percent,
one
twenty
percent,
but
Mr
Welter.
Do
you
have
any
any
thoughts
about
the
challenges
of
accomplishing
this.
B
K
I'm
sorry
going
into
FY
23,
based
on
the
approval
of
our
new
code.
Our
goal
is:
is
10
percent,
so
therefore
FY
23
we're
seeking
a
goal
of
10
instead
of
20,
so
I
think
that's
the
biggest
thing
that
we're
we're
working
with
now,
whereas
the
challenges
is
not
as
great
as
far
as
that
20
goal.
So
we
have
a
10
less
gold
up
to
to
seek
this
year.
K
Well,
because
of
the
procurement
code
being
approved,
the
gold
was
proved
at
10
and
that's
what
the
state
has
established
the
goal
to
ten
percent.
If
we
do
anything
different,
we
would
have
to
seek
approval
to
for
that,
and
then
we
also
based
on
this
disparity
study.
It
has
come
out
that,
in
order
to
have
a
goal
that
exceeds
what
has
been
established
of
this
10,
we
have
to
have
a
basis
to
do
that.
B
K
Other
thing
that
I
do
want
to
note
here
that
has
come
out
of
the
new
procurement
code,
where
we
were
required
to
do
an
annual
report,
but
going
forward
here
the
we're
going
to
do
we're
required
to
do
a
semi-annual
report.
In
essence,
we
have
to
report
every
six
months
on
the
swmb
progress.
So
therefore,
a
report
be
coming
for
you
for
the
first
I
guess
six
months
in
at
the
end
of
December.
H
B
K
You
should
have
a
report
for
the
going
in
the
January,
not
in
the
finance
meeting.
C
You
man
just
to
add
going
back
to
the
disparity
study,
so
one
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
There
were
some
things
we,
of
course,
that
he
was
being
completed.
This
was
one
of
them
and
we
also
had
engagement
with
the
state
that
clarified
that
the
goals
were
10.
They
clarified
the
policy,
the
law
that
we
are
supposed
to
abide
under
and
in
the
procurement
code
in
the
new
procurement
code
and
the
existing
procurement
code.
C
So
unless
we
have
an
analytical
approach
to
changing
the
10
percent,
we
that's
why
we
went
back
down
to
the
10,
based
on
the
disparity
study
on
conversations
with
the
state.
E
K
J
Thank
you
ma'am,
so
I
would
say.
I
would
also
say
that,
within
the
the
lengthy
disparity
study
report,
there's
a
section
recommendations,
conclusions
and
recommendations
that
have
extensive
recommendations
on
how
the
district
can
approach
its
swmbe
goals
beyond
what
we
are
currently
doing,
and
it
includes
a
number
of
recommendations
that
that
I
think
we
will
be
considering.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
I
think
that
if
I
remember
correctly,
it
was
more
of
a
bored,
a
board
request,
that's
I
mean
CCSD
School
Board
requests
from
that.
We
tried
to
exceed
that
10
and
I.
Think
that's
where
that
20
came
from
so
okay,
anything
else,
Mr
Welter,
no.
K
B
I
Thank
you,
Miss
green
good
afternoon.
Everyone
I'd
