Mike will provide an update on staffing for the Maintenance Dept.

At this point, we anticipate hiring 7-10 summer workers for the coming summer to assist with classroom cleaning, light landscaping and painting projects.  The anticipated hourly rate of pay is $15.00 -17.00.  As has been the case in past years, funds have been budgeted in the Operations & Maintenance salary accounts.

While we have previously discussed the Summer 2023 Plan for MacArthur HVAC and the Grodsky basement, there are several other priorities and projects that the Operations Department has and will continue to work on going into the summer.  

Amy will share an update regarding several upcoming projects that are in process for the Technology Department. Much of this work will be reimbursed through the eRate Program and 470's are currently in process.

• Managed Internal Broadband Equipment & Services with Empist - Ongoing Cost
• Trenching Between Mac and Sullivan - Trenching to improve network piping and cabling (There may be a compromised pipe carrying vital cabling) 
• Cabling Updates and Improvements throughout campuses. Updating and re-running fiber cabling - Initially quoted at $14,900. E-Rate will hopefully cover half. This would be an FY24 project, done over the summer. 
• Aruba Access Point Licenses.- We need to update our Aruba licenses for access points. This will be a FY24 update.
• UPS Systems "Uninterrupted Power Supplies" - Working with Empist.  Initial cost for 20 units at $2,000 each, ($40,000) with E-Rate hopefully covering half of the one-time cost in FY24.

As discussed at our last Committee Meetings, We have had several meetings with ARCON to re-visit costs and priorities.  Following a meeting last week with the ARCON team, we will be sharing the updated plans and timing for the upcoming bid.

We have been working with ARCON to scan all of our existing blueprints and historical plans.  Mike will provide some additional details regarding the attached proposal from BHFX.

As the current agreement with PathoSans is up for renewal, Mike and Brian Rominski have been working on a plan to add dilution units at each facility. This will be significantly more efficient than the District Porter filling jugs at Mac for each building and then distributing several times/week. The anticipated cost increase is approximately $800/month and includes all consumables.

Forensic Analytical Consulting Services will be visiting Eisenhower School to test several chalkboard walls for the presence of asbestos/ACM. This was done prior to the removal of any existing whiteboards & prometheans at Ross & Sullivan and will be done at Ike, strictly as a precaution.

Amy will provide an update on the meeting with the Arlington Heights Park District that took place on November 16, 2022.
