The vacancy has been posted and the process is underway for the selection of our next Director of Operations. Screening interviews will occur this week with committee interviews scheduled for next. An identified candidate will be brought to the Board for approval in late April.

Mike and his team worked some very long days during the Spring Break Week. In addition to the regularly scheduled "Break Cleaning" at all buildings, the following activities were also completed by the team:

• Removal and installation of the MacArthur library circulation desk
• Install of new Sullivan Library components
• Full filter exchange
• Program One was onsite to complete all exterior window cleaning and high dusting in the larger spaces throughout the District.
• Honeywell completed their required fire alarm testing and maintenance
• DeFranco Plumbing was on site to complete their camera inspection of the Sulivan sanitary line for future repair work.
• Mortar repairs to the cinder block wall (R/S MPR) were completed by Enger Vavra.
• Projectors were hung at Eisenhower in preparation for the 2023 summer.
• Evacuation maps were updated at all schools.
• Replacement of Sullivan bathroom stall locks
• Power washing of Mac Courtyard swings and walks
• The Eisenhower shade structure was repaired and bollards installed.

As a follow up to our previous discussions around Carousel Park, Amy has provided an update as well as a copy of the report from MaRous & Company.  Administration is seeking guidance on next steps.

Bids were solicited in late February for the painting of both the Ross/Sullivan and MacArthur Gymnasiums.  The lowest bidder, meeting the District's specifications, is being recommended for award at the April Board meeting.  At this time, we are asking to award the Ross/Sullivan Gymnasium only, which will be a cost split with the Arlington Heights Park District.  The MacArthur Gymnasium will be awarded to the same vendor, pending Board approval and budget availability later in the 2023-24 school year.

We have asked Honeywell to provide a 1-year service contract so we can again be reflective of their service commitments prior to entering into another long-term contract, given our past experience with staffing and service concerns.   We are in the process of evaluating some language changes to the proposed agreement and will plan to bring the finalized agreement to the Board for approval in May.

The purpose of the Joint Committee for Purposes of Construction Work Oversight is to oversee the authorization of construction payments required by the submission of a change order submitted by the architect, construction manager or any general contractor in order to secure the public trust in the integrity and credibility of the construction process.  We would like to form this committee for the start of the 2023 Construction Season and will need one volunteer from the Buildings & Sites Committee.

The Lost Time - Overtime report has been attached for the Committee's review.
