>> PLEASE RISE AND YOU ALL NEED TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG.
[1.F. Pledge of Allegiance]
THANK YOU, YOU CAN HAVE A SIT. [INAUDIBLE][1.G. Public Forum]
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT ON THE AGENDA WAS RECOGNITION, BUT I BELIEVE MS. TIFFANY TAYLOR, WE HAVE SOME FOLKS THAT ARE SICK AND COULDN'T MAKE IT.
>> YES, SIR. WE HAD TO POSTPONE THE THEATER RECOGNITIONS FOR TONIGHT.
NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD AND HAVE
[2.A. Effectiveness Report on Reese Education Center]
AN EFFECTIVENESS REPORT ON REESE EDUCATION CENTER, MR. SCOTT SIMS.>> I'VE BEEN HERE FOR [INAUDIBLE].
[LAUGHTER] IT DIDN'T CATCH ON.
[LAUGHTER] IF YOU GO, JUST ROLL DOWN TO THE POWERPOINT LITTLE ICON.
>> WELL, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO BRAG ON REESE TONIGHT.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT REESE, REESE IS THE ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION CAMPUS OF FRENSHIP ISD. WE HAVE TWO SIDES.
THE SIDE WE'LL FOCUS ON MAINLY WOULD BE OUR [INAUDIBLE] SIDE WHICH IS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE THERE FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.
EITHER, ONE, THEY'RE BEHIND AND THEY NEED A LITTLE CHANCE TO CATCH UP.
TWO, THEY WANT TO GRADUATE EARLY.
THREE, THEY HAVE CHILDREN AND THEY NEED TO [INAUDIBLE] IN DAYCARE WE OFFER, OR FOUR SOMETIMES THEY'VE LEFT SCHOOL FOR WHATEVER REASON AND THEY WANT TO COME FINISH AND WE GIVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THAT STATEMENT IS ON OUR WALL ACTUALLY AT REESE UP AT OUR MEETING CENTER WHEN WE TAKE OUR BREAKS, THAT REESE IS A BLEND OF COURAGE AND SWAGGER AND WE CAN STAND BY THAT.
IT TAKES COURAGE TO GO TO REESE IN LOTS OF CASES.
BUT SIMPLY STATED, SWAGGER COMES FROM STUDENTS THAT GRADUATE FROM REESE CENTER, [INAUDIBLE].
YOU SEE OUR CREDIT CHAMPIONSHIP BELT THAT STUDENTS GET TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH ONCE IN SIX WEEKS, WHOEVER HAS THE MOST CREDITS.
THERE'S A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE WINNERS LAST YEAR.
>> YOU'VE HAD IT AT GRADUATION.
>> I DID. IT WAS ON THE TABLE AT GRADUATION.
I THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING IT ON MY SHOULDER BUT I DIDN'T. [LAUGHTER].
>> YOU START PUTTING IT AROUND YOUR WAIST WE'RE GOING TO WORRY ABOUT YOU.
>> I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. [LAUGHTER] SUCCESSES.
OUR KIDS GRADUATE THIS YEAR, WE INCREASED OUR GRADUATES FROM 33 TO 44.
I THINK IT'LL BE EVEN MORE THIS YEAR.
YOU'LL SEE IN THE SLIDES WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF CREDITS WE AWARDED AND SO THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF GRADUATES IN DECEMBER.
IT'S GOING TO BE A DOMINO EFFECT.
WE SERVE MORE STUDENTS THIS YEAR THAN PREVIOUS YEARS.
WE'RE UP TO 117 STUDENTS SERVED IN THE WINGS ACADEMY AS OPPOSED TO 88 THE YEAR BEFORE.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE UP AND AS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, I COULD ALWAYS SEE THE NEED FOR REESE.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE AS A DISTRICT GROWS, REESE IS GOING TO GROW AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT.
WE SHOULD START A YEAR ABOUT 75 STUDENTS, WHICH THIS PAST YEAR WE STARTED AT 56 AND THE HOT POINT DURING THIS LAST SCHOOL YEAR WAS ABOUT 68 OR 69.
WE EXPECT TO START THE YEAR LARGER THAN WHAT WE WERE LAST YEAR, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
[00:05:05]
ALL OUR TEACHING STAFF RETURNED FOR THIS COMING YEAR, WHICH IS GREAT.DAEP STAFF, WE'VE GOT THE RIGHT STAFF IN PLACE.
STRAPS PROGRAM GREW 500 PERCENT OF THIS MALESKER MIGHT GO CONTAGIOUS AND IT MADE IT MORE EFFECTIVE AND EASIER TO USE FOR CAMPUSES.
IT WENT FROM SEVEN PLACEMENTS TO 35, WHICH WAS BIG.
AS I SAID, THIS YEAR, WE DOUBLED OR MORE THAN DOUBLED THE CREDITS AWARDED FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
WE'RE ALMOST 1,200 AND THEY WERE A LITTLE LESS 600 THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS AND WE'LL SEE THE FRUITS OF THAT IN DECEMBER.
CHALLENGES, A COUPLE OF CHALLENGES ACTUALLY TURN OUT TO BE SUCCESSES.
BUT WE HAVE AN INFLUX OF YOUNGER STUDENTS THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR, WE HAVE 32 STUDENTS THAT WERE SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN, AND THOSE TYPICALLY NOT THE STUDENTS THAT DO WELL AT REESE JUST BECAUSE OF THE SELF-PACED ASPECT OF IT.
BUT DUE TO COVID AND THE VIRTUAL ASPECT THAT HAPPENED THERE, LOTS OF STUDENTS TOOK A YEAR OFF, WELL, NOW THEY'RE BEHIND.
NOW THEY'RE 15-YEAR-OLD FRESHMEN, THAT HAS TWO CREDITS THAT GETS INTO REESE.
THAT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE TO REACH THOSE STUDENTS AND KEEP THEM ON TRACK.
ATTENDANCE. WHEREVER WE MOVE THE NEEDLE A WHOLE LOT THIS YEAR WILL MOVE TO A LITTLE BIT.
BUT AGAIN, WE HAD THE OMICRON VARIANT, WE HAD THE DELTA VARIANT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER VARIANT I'M MISSING, BUT THAT TAKES A HIT AND THEN AGAIN, IN REALITY WE'RE A CAMPUS OF STUDENTS THAT HAPPEN TO BE THERE BECAUSE THEY DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL.
SO WE'RE FIGHTING THAT A LITTLE BIT TOO.
IN THIS YEAR WE DID SEE A BIG INCREASE IN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
IN FACT, SOME OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A SUCCESSFUL TALK ABOUT AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION.
BUT I THINK THAT'S NOT ISOLATED TO US, THAT'S EVERYONE.
VAPE. GOOD NEWS, VAPING NUMBERS WENT DOWN, WHICH WE'RE HAPPY WITH.
I THINK THE CHANGES WE MADE TO THE PUNISHMENT ARE WORKING.
WE DROPPED FROM 116 PLACEMENTS TO 93.
NOT INCLUDED IN THAT ARE OUR THC EXPULSIONS, WHICH WAS NEW FOR US THIS YEAR.
WE HAD 15, WHICH WOULD STILL BE LOWER, BUT THAT'S AN EXPULSION.
I DIDN'T PUT UP WITH THAT NUMBER AND THAT'S ACTUALLY INCREASED OUR NUMBERS OF DAEP.
WE HAVE LOG REPLACEMENT, SO THEY END UP BEING THERE FOR A WHOLE SEMESTER WHICH NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR WILL GET LARGER.
THAT'S OUR VISION, THAT'S WHAT WE LIVE BY EACH AND EVERY DAY.
WE REALLY TRIED TO BE INDIVIDUALIZED AND TALK TO EACH STUDENT AS HE LEAVE.
HOW CAN WE HELP THEM GET TO WHERE THEY WANT TO BE.
DO THEY NEED TO TAKE THIS TEST AND DO THEY TAKE THE [INAUDIBLE]? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO HELP THEM GET TO WHERE THEY WANT TO BE? JUST A COUPLE OF SUCCESS STORIES I WANT TO KNOW TO HIGHLIGHT TONIGHT.
THREE STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR, CAME TO MIND, THEY WERE ALL 20 YEARS OLD AND THEY SHOWED UP AND THEY TRIED LIFE A LITTLE BIT AND THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, I NEED TO GET MY DIPLOMA.
WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND I WAS UPFRONT, LAID IT OUT, SAID THIS IS HOW YOU CAN DO IT, AND THEY ALL DID IT.
TWO GRADUATE IN DECEMBER WITH US, WHICH WAS FANTASTIC, AND THEN ONE GRADUATED IN [INAUDIBLE] THE ONE THAT HAD THE ROUGHEST TIME, PRODUCT OF REESE GRADUATED THIS SPRING, WHICH IS FANTASTIC.
WE GO A YOUNG MAN FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL. HIS NAME IS RILEY.
HE JUST DIDN'T FIT WITH 2,000 AND HE HAD SOME SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL ISSUES.
HE TALKED TO MR. ANANSI'S CONCEPT AND CASEY SMITH CALLED ME AND SAID WE'VE GOT TO THINK BECAUSE I THINK HE CAN MAKE YOU GO, REESE.
HE'S A LITTLE YOUNGER THAN I LIKED.
BUT WE TALKED ABOUT IT, AND TALKED TO ALL HIS TEACHERS, AND TALKED TO THE PEOPLE AND WE GAVE HIM A GO.
FIRST TWO WEEKS WERE PRETTY CHALLENGING.
BUT HE'LL GRADUATE THIS DECEMBER AND HE'LL BE A YEAR-AND-A-HALF EARLY.
HE REALLY FITS WITH A SMALLER ENVIRONMENT THAT WE HAVE AND HE'S BEEN GREAT.
THEN THE YOUNG LADY CAME IN THIS SPRING.
THAT'S A BIG SUCCESS FORCE, HER NAME IS RAVEN.
SHE IS PART OF THE FOSTER HOME SYSTEM AND SO SHE BOUNCED AROUND AND SHE CAME IN AND SO NOW SHE WAS BEHIND AND SHE CAME IN AND SHE IS A SWEET GIRL, VERY INTELLIGENT, WORKED REALLY WELL FOR US.
IN FACT, AS SOON AS SHE GRADUATED, SHE HAD TO HURRY UP AND GRADUATE BECAUSE SHE WAS BEING PLACED IN AMARILLO AND SO SHE WANTED TO FINISH SO SHE COULD GO TO AMARILLO.
SHE DOES CAME AFTER GRADUATION, WHICH IS FANTASTIC.
SHE GOT A SCHOLARSHIP. SHE'S ACTUALLY ENROLLED IN TULSA WELDING SCHOOL.
THOSE NEXT TEST WERE SUPER EXCITED FOR HER.
THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE UNLESS THEY'LL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
>> I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR THE JOB THAT SCOTT HAS DONE THIS YEAR.
[00:10:02]
HE COMPLETED HIS FIRST YEAR.HIS FIRST YEAR OR 10 YEARS? FIRST YEAR, PROBABLY FEELS LIKE 10.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS HE SAID QUICKLY, THIS IS WHAT I THINK SETS FRENSHIP APART AND SETS YOU APART.
NOT THAT IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DONE BY ANOTHER PRINCIPAL, BUT I DO KNOW I'VE WORKED IN OTHER DISTRICTS AND NOT EVERY DISTRICT DOES THIS AND HERE'S SPECIFICALLY WHAT I MEAN, THE THREE 20-YEAR-OLDS THAT CAME.
YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE TO TAKE A 20-YEAR-OLD IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE TO AND YOU TAKE A RISK.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TAKES A RISK WHEN THEY ALLOW 20-YEAR-OLDS FROM OUR ACCOUNTABILITY FORMULA.
BECAUSE THERE ARE 20 AND SO THEY'VE BEEN HANDING ON SCHOOL FOR A WHILE AND PROBABLY WHEN THEY WERE IN SCHOOL, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT TOO WELL.
THEY COULD COME IN, TRY IT FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND WHEN THEY DROP OUT, THAT COUNTS AGAINST THIS, THEY COUNT AS A DROPOUT FOR US.
MANY DISTRICTS WILL TALK THEM OUT.
THOSE THREE 20-YEAR-OLDS, THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE TAKEN THEM TO BEGIN WITH.
THEY WOULD'VE SAID, "NO, YOU NEED TO TRY AND THERE'S A LIST.
THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE TRIED TO GET THEM TO DO AND YOU TRIED TO TALK THEM OUT, IF NOT, COME INTO YOUR SCHOOL, AND WE DON'T DO THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THOSE KIDS.
IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, EVEN IF THEY DID DROP OUT.
IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO TO TAKE THEM.
BUT SOME PEOPLE WE GET CAUGHT UP IN THE NUMBERS AND THAT ACCOUNTABILITY GET IN, BECAUSE THAT GAME IS A SERIOUS GAME TOO.
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRACKING EVERY GRADUATION RATE AND ALL THAT STUFF.
BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING THE GUY THAT TAKES THE THREE 20-YEAR-OLDS. I APPRECIATE. [OVERLAPPING]
>> WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I REALLY APPRECIATE. [NOISE]
>> THIS PRESENTATION WE HAVE IS A CONSTRUCTION UPDATE. MR. COBB'S.
[2.B. Construction Update]
>> THANK YOU MR. [INAUDIBLE] AND BOARD.
NOW, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE FOR WHAT'S GOING ON HERE WITHIN THE 2020 BOND PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE [NOISE] JOB WE HAVE IN [INAUDIBLE] 2014 BOND PROGRAM.
THE NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL IS ROLLING RIGHT ALONG.
AS YOU CAN SEE, STRUCTURES ARE STARTING TO COME OUT OF THE GROUND.
THIS IS THE GYM AREA WHERE THE TILT WALL PANELS ARE.
WE GOT STRUCTURAL STEEL ROOF DECK GOING IN.
LOOKING TO POUR LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE DECK FOR AREA G THIS WEEK, SO WE'RE MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
THIS IS THE CONCESSION STAND, RESTROOM AREA OUT BY THE ATHLETIC FACILITY, CASTING BEDS FOR TILT WALLPAPERS WHICH WILL ACTUALLY EVENTUALLY BE MADE QUIET ROOM, BAND HALL AREA FACILITY.
I WANTED TO SHOW THIS. MARK [INAUDIBLE] TOOK THIS.
IT'S THREE WEEKS OLD SO YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH PROGRESS WE'VE HAD IN JUST THREE WEEKS.
BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A REALLY COOL DEPICTION OF THE ENTIRE SITE.
IF YOU LOOK, HERE'S THE MAIN BUILDING HERE, AND THEN HERE'S THE TRACK, AND THERE'S WHERE THE FOOTBALL FIELD WILL BE.
THAT'S A BIRD'S EYE VIEW IF YOU WILL.
GOING FORWARD UNDER, I'LL DO A LITTLE BETTER JOB OF COORDINATING WITH MIKE AND WE'LL GET MORE UP-TO-DATE PHOTOS FROM AERIAL STANDPOINT TO SHOW YOU GUYS WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR CONSTRUCTION UPDATES.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PRETTY NEAT PHOTO.
EARTHWORK FOR THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL AS YOU CAN SEE, IT DOESN'T LOOK VERY GOOD, BUT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT GOING ON AND I WILL SHOW YOU.
WE'RE [INAUDIBLE], EXCAVATING, WATERING, KEEPING THAT SAND BLOW TO A MINIMUM, ALTHOUGH WE MAY WANT A LITTLE WIND RIGHT NOW, IT'S CONTINUALLY WARM MUCH, AND STUFFY, AND HOT OUT THERE.
WE ARE MOVING AS FAR AS THE EARTHWORK GOES THERE AT HIGH SCHOOL.
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS 43RD STREET, SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS AS WELL FOR DEVELOPERS.
MOVING REALLY WELL ON 43RD STREET WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME OUR ACCESS POINT FOR THE ENTIRE SITE FOR ALL OF OUR SUBCONTRACTORS ONCE WE START TO BUILD [INAUDIBLE].
LEGACY PLAYGROUND RENOVATIONS: ALL THE DEMO IS DONE ON THE EAST SIDE, WHICH IS WHERE WE'VE STARTED.
THERE'S A LOT MORE FORMS UP NOW.
WE'RE ROCKING AND ROLLING UP THAT LEGACY AS WELL.
AS WE KNOW, THIS WILL HELP WITH OUR ACCESSIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT PLAYGROUND, THEIR LEGACY. TARGET PIT RAILING.
WE'VE GOT BOX, SEAT-BACK SEATS ON OUR EAST AND NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF THE TARGET PIT.
THESE RAILINGS ARE BEING PUT IN HANDRAILS TO MAKE IT EASIER ACCESS TO THOSE SEATS.
THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TARGET PIT IS DONE, THEY ARE IN PLACE.
THE SOUTH SIDE WILL BE DONE TOMORROW AS FAR AS BEING STAFFED AND WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET THOSE PAINTED.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE DONE WITH THAT COMPLETELY THIS WEEK.
[00:15:03]
WE'VE GOT ADVANCED GOING ON NEXT WEEK IN THE TARGET PIT SO WE NEED TO BE OUT OF THEIR WAY, SO WE'LL HAVE THOSE INSTALLED AND FINISHED.THEN THE 2014 BOND PROGRAM HVAC PROJECT.
I JUST LISTED ALL THESE OUT, GUYS.
EVERYTHING IS INSTALLED, COMPLETE, AND RUNNING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 79 WE HAVE TO DO AT FMS. THERE ARE STILL MORE DECIDUOUS AND CLEANUP AT FHS, WE HAVE TO DO SOME CLEANUP HERE, BUT ALL OF THOSE UNITS ARE INSTALLED AND RUNNING; 189 UNITS ARE INSTALLED AND RUNNING, [INAUDIBLE] STILL THE LAST 79 UNITS OF FMS. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> STAY RIGHT THERE AND LET'S GO AHEAD.
I'M GOING TO GO OUT OF ORDER HERE, I WANT TO JUMP INTO YOUR AGENDA ACTION ITEMS WHICH WOULD BE 3D.
[3.B.3. Consideration of construction documents for future high school]
ITEM NUMBER 3.WE HAVE THE CONSIDERATION OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT FOR FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOME GUESTS HERE.
>> I DO. I'VE GOT JIM [INAUDIBLE] ARCHITECT HERE.
HE'S OUR ARCHITECT AND LEAD DESIGNER, [BACKGROUND] AND IS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
>> HE'S GLAD TO BE HERE. WE'RE GLAD HE'S HERE.
YES. THANKS MR. DRAPER AND BOARD, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION DUCTS FOR THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS IS A VERY EXCITING TIME FOR ALL OF US, SOMETHING THAT I'VE NEVER BEEN A PART OF FROM A STANDPOINT OF A HIGH SCHOOL BUILT OUT SO IT'S EXCITING.
TRYING TIMES, BUT WE'RE ALL PULLING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND PULLING TOGETHER.
IT'S ABOUT 525,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE FRONT WILL LOOK LIKE.
THIS WILL BE THE GYMNASIUM ENTRANCE, I GO BACK HERE, WHICH IS LOCATED OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
>> NO. [LAUGHTER] [BACKGROUND]
>> NO MATTER WHAT HE PUTS [INAUDIBLE]. [BACKGROUND] [LAUGHTER]
>> THE REASON WE USE THESE HIGH SCHOOL RENDERINGS IS THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS CALLED OVER AT FRENSHIP ISD.
SO WE JUST USE THESE BUT, NO, THEY EXIST.
>> WE DIDN'T WANT TO CALL [INAUDIBLE] HOUSE NUMBER TOO.
>> BUT THE MASCOT IS A MASCOT.
>> BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T [INAUDIBLE] MASCOT [BACKGROUND].
HERE'S THE AUDITORIUM ENTRANCE WHICH IS ON THE OTHER END, OPPOSITE OF THE GYMNASIUM AREA. THIS IS THE NORTH ENTRANCE.
THIS IS MORE OF YOUR LIVE SKILLS AREA, AND THIS IS THE SECOND ENTRANCE INTO THE SECOND ADMINISTRATION AREA.
THE SAME KIND OF SETUP THAT WE HAD HERE; CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL FROM THE MAIN ENTRANCE ITSELF, OFFICE ENTRANCE GOT SOME KIND OF CONCEPT THERE.
THEN THIS IS JUST AN OVERALL VIEW OF ALL 525,000 SQUARE FEET.
THIS IS AN OVERALL FLOOR PLAN OF THE FIRST FLOOR FOR THE FUTURE HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE'S THE SECOND FLOOR, I KNOW IT MAY BE HARD TO SEE.
THIS IS ALSO THE TWO STORM SHELTERS WE'LL HAVE.
THE BAND HALL WILL BE A STORM SHELTER AS WELL AS THE AUXILIARY GYMNASIUMS TO HELP THEIR CAPACITY.
THIS IS 43RD STREET TO GET YOUR BEARINGS ABOUT YOU, AND 43RD STREET DOES GO ALL THE WAY AND MEET UP WITH 50TH STREET AND WHERE IT ACTUALLY INTERSECTS IS PONTIAC [BACKGROUND] IF THAT GETS YOUR WHEREABOUTS OF WHERE IT IS.
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER LAYOUT FOOTPRINT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING ITSELF.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS TO START WITH THE RECOMMENDATION BRIAN?
>> THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION DOCKS FOR THE FUTURE [INAUDIBLE].
>> OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT RECOMMENDATION [NOISE] FORWARD BY MR. CALVIN'S ADMINISTRATION, AND A SECOND ONE IS JIMMY PHILLIPS, CARL ROGERS WAS THE PERSON WHO MADE THE MOTION BY THE AWAY.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING, I?
