Description:  Crystal Johnson will share the administrative update.

Description:  Russ Leigh will present the 2016 audit report.

Description:  The first part of this quote is to replace the key pads/alarm panel. We have had issues with both and they are outdated. Tyco has agreed to replace these at no cost. We will only continue to pay $1,291.76 per year for monitoring and maintenance. We currently pay this amount annually already. 

The second portion of the quote includes an upgrade for the actual system.  Currently we are using a single computer and server.   Since we have installed the system the company has switched to a web based version.  The web based version would better meet our needs for the district.  This would allow complete access to the system at all times and without the barriers we face with the server currently.  The install charge for the new product is 911.18.  The annual hosting charge is 400 per year (100/card reader per year).  I would recommend we move forward with the quote. 

Description:  Attached is a proposal for the fire alarm inspection, testing, and maintenance. We can choose to accept the quote for testing and inspection only or to include maintenance.   The amount to test and inspect which includes an annual report and cleaning of detectors and beams is $1,461.00. 

The cost for the second portion of the quote which includes maintenance on items that are found during the inspection is $600 per year.

I would recommend approving the entire quote for $2,061.00.   

Description:    On August 30th there was a joint board meeting between the Rossville Alvin and Bismarck Henning boards. During that meeting the boards discussed the financial sheet provided by Scott Watson, a booklet of information, timelines, public meetings, and a Name Committee to further discuss the direction of the newly formed cooperative high school.

Description:  Several shingles are falling off the north end of the building.  Advanced Commercial Roofing has submitted a quote to repair the areas.  This is the same company we used for the renovation project which completed the south side of the building.  They said this is typical of vertical style roofing.  I would recommend hiring ACR to complete the project.

Description:  This is the application in which we are to approve annually.

Description:  During the past couple of weeks we have been speaking to Watch Fire about our current sign and the need for a replacement.  They have given us a very competitive and generous quote for a new sign.  The attached quote and my recommendation is from Watch Fire.  This sign is a 16mm pixel pitch (which is very, very good), 3ftX7ft sign.  This will be slightly larger than the one we have currently.  The total price which includes installation is $24,400.
