2:40 – 3:14Speaker 4

Mr. Marston. . . . . .

3:46Speaker 5

Moción aprobada.

3:49 – 4:23Speaker 2

A continuación tenemos una presentación sobre el desempeño del contrato. We have had two energy performance contractors, Amoresco and Trane, who will make a presentation of the work carried out during the Boa mission. They will give us some points in this case.

4:41Speaker 1

Very good. Thank you very much. My name is Dan Adam.

4:48Speaker 4

I work with... You know, I started to think that we have about 10 minutes, I think it was what Chief Watson said.

4:54 – 6:08Speaker 1

I was thinking about the presentation I have before you tonight. And what bothers me the most is to talk about us, about me, right? That's not what I want to do. But everyone has heard that old saying. A la gente no le importa cuánto sabemos hasta que les mostramos cuánto nos importa. Ah, no es eso. Sé que sí, porque conozco el negocio en el que están y esto es lo que todos hacen cada día. Mostrarles a los estudiantes, al personal de la comunidad, cuánto les importa. Así que, esto servirá para compartir con ustedes parte del éxito que hemos tenido con la propuesta S con nuestras fases 1 y 2, y para comunicarles lo que hemos hecho y compartir algunas de las cosas en las que hemos trabajado con ellos. As for the agenda, we are going to talk about the proposal S and how it has helped many, many children and schools in which we have been able to intervene. We are going to talk a little about phase 1. We have carried out two phases with SLPS, phase 1 and phase 2. Then we will talk about some strategic initiatives in which we have worked with the district. Then we will talk about how we can support our students even more.

6:16Speaker 2

Sé que conozco a algunos de ustedes, no a todos los presentes, pero sí a la mayoría.

6:21 – 6:57Speaker 1

Puede que algunos no estén familiarizados con AMS, que trabaja con algunos de los distritos más grandes del país. Escuelas Públicas de Los Ángeles, Escuelas Públicas Detroit, etc. Hemos hecho mucho a nivel nacional con algunos de los distritos escolares más grandes, pero a nivel local hemos trabajado mucho con nuestros distritos escolares cercanos a las escuelas públicas de St. Louis, como U-City, Riverview Gardens, Rittner y Hazelwood. And I think that when you look at that list of what we are most proud of, at least of what I am most proud of, it is not to have worked with them, but how many times they ask us to come back to carry out more work.

6:57Speaker 2

That is really important.

6:59 – 7:17Speaker 1

Two cities, 18 phases. Hazelwood, I think it was in the 18th phase. Reitner, I think we are in our ninth or tenth phase right now. This is a bit out of date. So that's what I'm most proud of with respect to this slide. How did we get here?

7:17Speaker 2

Very important.

7:18Speaker 1

How did we get here?

7:20Speaker 4

We got here through a competitive acquisition process, through an RFQ.

7:23 – 8:13Speaker 1

The district issued an RFQ in 2023, interviewed us and several others, and we were selected for this energy performance contract. It was a whole process and we overcame it, so I am grateful to be here with you today talking about our successes with the district. Lo más importante que deben saber es que fuimos seleccionados mediante concurso bajo la ley RSMO 8231, que es, por así decirlo, un contrato de desempeño energético. Es un estatuto estatal. Así que todo fue verificado. Todo está verificado. Y fuimos seleccionados a través de la RFI. De hecho, creo que fue Otulan Associates quien representaba al distrito. En ese momento, probablemente tomó de un mes a mes y medio completar ese proceso. Fuimos evaluados y aquí estamos. Muchas gracias.

8:15Speaker 2

Why were we selected?

8:16 – 9:02Speaker 1

Most likely it was because of the design and construction delivery model we offer. But the other important thing is the responsibility of a single point, and I can't emphasize it enough. And this point, the responsibility of a single point, means that when you have multiple guilds and contractors working in an installation such as HVA , electricity, plumbing, and metallurgy, instead of the district having multiple contracts, Amarezco supports them all. It's one single entity to which to go. It is a responsibility of a single source and as Mr. Chas probably could tell you, we have had some problems and of course Maresco is the responsible part because we have the contracts.

9:02Speaker 3

We are the designers and builders for many, for the majority of the school districts.

9:08 – 9:29Speaker 1

It is a responsibility of a single source that reduces the risk for the school district. design and construction approach, because it is important. In reality, there is a cost savings associated with the design and construction approach. But more than that, there is a quick delivery with design and construction that you cannot obtain with other acquisition methods such as design, bidding and construction.

9:30Speaker 4

To give you an example, and this is very good, I am very proud.

9:33 – 10:04Speaker 1

When the district did phase 1, there were around 26 million and we will get to the next slide about this. Pero en ese gran proyecto, desde el día en que tuvimos nuestra primera reunión con el distrito escolar, en 48 días, pudimos entregar el alcance del trabajo y los precios al distrito. Piénsenlo. 48 días. En los baños. Firmamos el contrato el 20 de mayo del 23 y los tuvimos prácticamente terminados antes de que comenzaran las clases.

10:04Speaker 2

El 19 de agosto. Y fue un gran esfuerzo.

10:08Speaker 4

Creo que sí.

10:11 – 11:28Speaker 1

We were able to complete that mission very, very quickly. As a summary of the Phase 1 program, we were able to intervene in eight schools. And I've heard that in the eight schools in which we were able to intervene in this Phase 1, they worked on heating and cooling systems, coolers, boilers, roof units, that kind of thing. But the thing is that unfortunately that scope of work is not aesthetic, it is not brilliant. People can't see it. But the reality is that that is the heart of an installation, right? If you don't have heating and cooling systems, not only does it prevent our students from learning, but it also puts our staff in a bad position to have to work in that environment every day. And there are also security problems related to the quality of the air. But we could intervene in Jademan, FOMOA, Wheeler, Mullen, Milani, Washington, Walbridge, Clyde, C. Miller, and Seagull. Phase 1 cost approximately between 25 and 26 million dollars.

11:28Speaker 2

Phase 1 cost 26 million dollars.

11:30 – 11:55Speaker 1

This is something that I really want the board and everyone to understand because we are very proud of it. We didn't have change orders. Think how many times a district has gone through a process like this of 20 or 30 million dollars without receiving any cash order. This project is substantially complete and ready for the start of classes next week. And that included all the heavy mechanical equipment of heating and cooling that is integrated. Here's another thing.

11:55Speaker 2

We are very proud.

11:56 – 12:25Speaker 1

Our percentage in this was just over 39%. That was equivalent to a little more than 10 million dollars for MWE companies. It's the right thing to support our communities. But at the end of the day, the interesting thing is that we do this with our... MWE companies, without caring. It makes our projects better by having diversity involved in them. Here's another thing to be sure of.

12:25Speaker 2

The guaranteed energy savings is just over 48,000 dollars a year.

12:31 – 13:09Speaker 1

Equivalent to $750,000 in 15 years. So, the bathrooms, this was a great achievement. The contract for the bathrooms was signed in May. We completed it, substantially finished in August, before classes. And we were able to update the bathrooms of Yateman and Walbury. A complete renovation that included the fulfillment of the rules. for those bathrooms, a total of eight years. Gaitman and Walbridge were the schools where we were able to do this work. Mr. Chas, I thank you for including photos of Walbridge in your presentations. I see you often.

13:09Speaker 2

We are very proud of you.

13:17Speaker 1

So the bathrooms costed around $2.8 million.

13:19Speaker 4

Once again, the bathrooms were $2.8 million without exchange orders for the school district. Without exchange orders for the school district.

13:25 – 14:09Speaker 1

Our MWB percentage was approximately 33% in that project. The key is that it was 88 days from the beginning to the substantial completion. Another thing that we have been very involved in, have you heard a little about the Renew America Subvention? I know you did. Renew America Schools 2020, 2025. We help the school district to obtain this grant and Mr. Watson's team.

14:09Speaker 4

Congratulations to the team.

14:15 – 14:42Speaker 1

But Aaron Cain, everyone knows Aaron Cain. Because he really worked hard to get this grant from New America Schools. And 23 beneficiaries of this grant, the public schools of St. Louis, were one of the winners. It was incredible. It was phenomenal. And that was going to cost a little more than $11 million in funds to go to 15 schools, 15 school buildings. And SLPS was the winner with that grant. On January 20, we had a new administration.

14:43 – 14:57Speaker 4

January 20, I think. The subscription was not canceled. But it was, and it has not received more funding.

14:58 – 15:11Speaker 1

The public schools of St. Louis received the first prize of the subscription, Renew America Schools, but it is on pause right now, which is a bit strange because it is about renewing the schools of America and they have paused it. I don't understand it, but that's how it is.

15:18 – 15:31Speaker 4

So, looking to the future, we present this on the 24th and it's called Camino a los Oficios, Path to Trades.

15:31 – 17:03Speaker 1

And if you look at the image, it turns out that there is. Are you there, Mr. Jai? Yes, sir. Thank you for your help. Path to Trades is a program that we help to implement in the school district of Rittner. We would love to work with the public schools of San Luis to bring this here, but it is a learning program based on the work of two years that begins with first and second year students. People always ask me why and the reason. I could talk about this much better than I do, but since the first or second year, they need to understand the importance of the mothers seriously, and then go through this program so that when they finish after their second year, they can transition to a note or somewhere like that to continue with this, and possibly work in the offices just after graduating. We include RCP, OSHA 10, training in the first year. I don't know if you can hear me or not, but this is a new day in the public school.

17:03Speaker 2

I don't know if you can hear me or not, but this is a new day in the public school.

17:15 – 17:28Speaker 5

Muchas gracias. Jeff Watson y señorita Henry, gracias por todo. Dijo que no hubo órdenes de cambio. ¿Hubo órdenes de cambio o no hubo órdenes de cambio cobradas?

17:28 – 17:45Speaker 1

Dr. Barry, eso es una gran pregunta. Lo es. Lo es porque puedo entender la confusión. Hubo algunas órdenes de cambio, ¿verdad? Pero fueron iniciadas por el distrito, como hay un crédito que se le debe al distrito ahora mismo porque decidieron no hacer algo.

17:49Speaker 4

And when I say that there are no change orders, it's literally that there are no change orders.

17:53 – 18:13Speaker 1

And here's the... We sign the contract and during all that process there are no changes. And that's what the districts, one of the things that the districts love about us, is that it avoids risk.

18:13Speaker 2

What does training for completed SLP systems mean?

18:17Speaker 5

¿Qué significa eso?

18:20Speaker 2

Capacitación de sistemas para SLP.

18:31 – 18:55Speaker 1

La capacitación de sistemas significa que instalamos todo este equipo en todas estas escuelas y hemos capacitado al personal de las escuelas públicas de St. Louis sobre cómo operar ese equipo. In other words, when we installed coolers, boilers, roof units, that kind of thing, the staff of public schools, Luis, has been trained on how to operate.

18:55Speaker 2

And there was a program that included our young man.

19:04 – 19:18Speaker 1

There were no passports in this project. There was no passports in this project. How to maintain that system.

19:18 – 19:49Speaker 4

We don't oppose that. It will immerse students in the offices, not only in HBA, but in D6. That's a good program to show the students what's out there.

19:52Speaker 1

So, who has to do the district to acquire a program like that?

19:57Speaker 2

That's what we have to do. In 1924 we tried to do this with this program.

20:13 – 20:31Speaker 1

No llego a ninguna parte, pero fueron tiempos difíciles y todo lo que tenemos que hacer es decir, vamos a empezar con esto, al menos vamos a explorar. Tengamos algunas reuniones con quien sea en distrito, a quien les gustaría convertir en el promotor de este programa. Y elaboremos este programa para las escuelas.

20:33Speaker 4

Les diré una cosa sobre ese programa.

20:36 – 20:57Speaker 1

This is something that I want to admit. The 50 students are going to have to start little by little, like with 15 students, maybe 20 as a maximum. But just let us know. If you communicate with me, Mr. Watson, communicate with me.

21:05Speaker 3

for the future.

21:07 – 21:36Speaker 4

Well, to the point of closing, Jones, this P2 program is very important. What's up?

22:06Speaker 1

I don't see why Sanka. Absolutely, we could do it.

22:08Speaker 4

We need to do it.

22:10 – 22:24Speaker 1

Oh, we need to do it. We want to do this. And I'll be very frank. It was different at that time and I didn't get to any page. It's something that we really would like to do. I'll be very frank with you. This is a program and the objective is to start it.

22:28Speaker 4

to help the public schools of St. Louis to build this. Correct.

22:32Speaker 1

Correct. And then, within two years, two and a half years, it becomes self-sufficient. You can continue with this.

22:40Speaker 4

You won't need a company like Amarezco to come and continue doing this.

22:46 – 23:11Speaker 1

But for the first years, we want to be part of it. Egoistically, to be very frank with you, that's something that we're very proud of, that program. We would like to bring that to public schools. And then it's a new day here, you know. It's a new one. The future looks bright. And the future looks bright.

23:11Speaker 4

I receive with pleasure.

23:13Speaker 1

And let's see. Let's have a little meeting.

23:17 – 23:29Speaker 4

Let's have just a little meeting and then we assign someone to lead this. And let's do it. I'm not going to spend a lot of time because we go short of time. Thank you very much.

23:29Speaker 3

Yes, thank you very much.

23:59Speaker 5

Hello. Well, my name is Jessica.

24:05 – 24:16Speaker 2

Excuse me for a moment. I'm part of the training team for the St. Louis Public Schools project. Nick also accompanies me. He was one of the project managers.

24:16Speaker 5

If there is any question about the construction, I wanted to make sure he was available to answer it, to answer it as well.

24:19Speaker 2

Well, just as I deserve, we have the same model where you are. I'm not going to get into all that tonight.

24:30 – 24:46Speaker 5

Realmente quiero hablar sobre el proyecto. Trabajamos en nuestra escuela. Tengo un esterico junto a mi.

24:50Speaker 2

Pero en 2024 hicimos la iluminación, la envolvente del edificio, los manejadores de aire y las calderas que son solo parte del sistema HVAC.

25:00Speaker 5

Realmente tratamos de centrarnos en 2024 en elementos de eficiencia energética, principalmente donde el distrito pudiera empezar a ver esos ahorros de inmediato.

25:09Speaker 2

Así que esos dos primeros, la iluminación y la envolvente al edificio, tienen un retorno de inversión muy alto.

25:20Speaker 5

Estas fotos de aquí abajo son todas algunas de las mejoras de Dewey. Luego, pasando al verano de 2020.

25:33 – 25:49Speaker 5

Esto se centraron más en el HVAC, sí, el sistema de automatización de edificios, que es básicamente los controles que hacen funcionar. Pum. También nos involucramos con algunos reemplazos de ventanas e identificamos algunas actualizaciones de paneles eléctricos que también eran.

25:50Speaker 2

Pum. Los paneles que pudimos identificar.

25:58Speaker 2

Y luego estas fotos de aquí abajo son de máquina.

26:02 – 27:10Speaker 5

Donde yo. De manera similar, su personal fue capacitado en estos sistemas y tenemos algo llamado trainee university, ya que Trani es un fabricante de HVAC. Así que, obviamente, tenemos muchos recursos de capacitación. Y, de hecho, cuando fue tal vez hace dos semanas, invitamos a parte de su personal a asistir también a esa trainee university. En cuanto a un mejor entorno de aprendizaje. Más allá de la eficiencia energética, ¿verdad? Idealmente queríamos enfocarnos en mejorar el entorno de aprendizaje para los estudiantes. No quieres invertir mucho dinero en climatización y que todo ese aire fresco y agradable se escape por debajo de las ventanas o las puertas, ¿cierto? Por eso fue muy importante sellar estos edificios, lo cual también ayuda con el control de la humedad en sus espacios.

27:12Speaker 2

Voy a volver al tema de los controles de temperatura porque pudimos integrar algunos de ellos en las experiencias de aprendizaje de los alumnos.

27:20 – 27:33Speaker 5

Así que retomaré eso en un minuto. Y en cuanto a los paneles eléctricos, encontramos un par que consideramos que necesitaban ser reemplazados por la seguridad de los estudiantes y la confiabilidad de sus instalaciones.

27:34Speaker 2

Así que ellos también terminaron siendo incluidos en este proyecto.

27:38Speaker 5

Y aquí hay un ejemplo de la escuela secundaria Bush.

27:40Speaker 2

Pueden ver incluso la imagen a la izquierda.

27:46 – 28:04Speaker 5

Es un panel muy obsoleto que podemos ver. Quiero dedicar algo de tiempo a la iniciativa del futuro del trabajo que hemos estado realizando con el distrito y parece que es algo importante.

28:04Speaker 2

Así que estamos en nuestro segundo año de un memorando de entendimiento con el distrito para los programas educativos de TRANES.

28:12 – 28:35Speaker 5

Pueden ver aquí en esta foto a la izquierda a uno de nuestros educadores residentes, Dan Whistler. Él es un profesor de ciencia jubilado que trabaja a tiempo completo con Trane ahora y realiza programas de capacitación para el personal. Y aquí pueden ver, creo que esta selfie es bastante simpática, por eso sigo mostrándola. Pero él pudo capacitar a un par de maestros.

28:36Speaker 2

Este es el señor Ferguson de Clyde Miller y también hubo algunos maestros de Bashan en este primer programa. Lotto.

28:43 – 29:32Speaker 5

And what that pilot consisted of is that we start with the data analysis, which is where it is linked to the control system. And we feel that this is the point of entry to excite the boys more with the jobs and STEM careers, the data analysis. And Trane pays all those certifications. So the first cohort was this summer and the students obtained their Trane certifications during the summer. El plan es que varios maestros. Cuando nos reunimos con el doctor Henny y el doctor Speed hace unas dos semanas. Ellos en realidad querían empezar incluso antes.

29:34Speaker 2

Estamos apuntando a la etapa secundaria y les explicaron cómo ustedes quizás están reestructurando parte del programa técnico STEM de preparatoria.

29:43 – 30:00Speaker 5

Pero en realidad, estamos buscando comenzar quizás desde cuarto grado con algunos de estos programas. Entonces, iban a intentar despertar el interés de aquellos maestros que consideraban adecuado. Así que por ahora, solo con análisis de datos, esperamos expandirnos.

30:00 – 30:44Speaker 2

Y obviamente, dado que Trani es fabricante de H-Watts, hemos estado hablando con Tracy sobre nuestra... Además, para conocimiento de todos, empezamos a contratar desde los 17 años con todos los beneficios, 401k seguro y todo. Creo que eso les pareció bastante atractivo al Dr. Hennig y al Dr. Stewart. Así que ese es el tipo de trabajo que estamos haciendo. En cuanto a la parte financiera de Ameren Inspires, ustedes reciben alrededor de $207,000 en incentivos de eficiencia.

30:47Speaker 5

Y luego el ahorro garantizado el primer año es de $484,000 solo para ese primer año.

30:54Speaker 2

Gran parte de eso proviene de la iluminación, la envolvente del edificio y la modernización de los controles.

31:02 – 31:36Speaker 5

Y eso está garantizado. Así que al final del año, el distrito recibirá un informe. Y aquí abajo tengo nuestro MBE. Subimos en un 23.8%. A lo largo de 15 años, eso representa poco más de 9 millones de dólares en ahorros. Y como dije, realmente estamos haciendo mucho con el distrito.

31:36Speaker 2

Realmente generaron un gran impacto allí con los estudiantes.

31:44Speaker 5

Y creo que solo tengo una más. I always like to show this briefly, since sometimes it is difficult to illustrate what those numbers really mean, right? That equals 139 homes.

31:54Speaker 2

Any questions? Any questions?

32:17Speaker 5

Thank you very much.

32:52Speaker 3

He fulfilled his word. I remember when we talked for the first time, I don't know if it was last year or when this contract was signed, when I was talking about the training program.

33:03 – 33:31Speaker 4

When our taxes are spent on companies that really care about the labor. El laboratorio permite al estudiante ver las soluciones.

33:31 – 34:05Speaker 5

Entonces, tenemos tres tipos de laboratorio. Para los laboratorios, solo necesitamos que ustedes. But we have a residential one, a commercial one, and a new one, which is a control laboratory, which is more technological. And in those laboratories, we really have equipment. We are going to open one in Collinsville.

34:05Speaker 2

If there is a comparative devaluation, something like that. If you want to see how it is.

34:15Speaker 4

No, probably not.

34:17Speaker 2

I don't like to read.

34:24Speaker 5

Muchas gracias. ¿Alguna otra pregunta? Muchas gracias por la presentación. ¿Alguna otra pregunta?

34:56Speaker 3

. . . . . . .

35:25 – 37:21Speaker 4

En los últimos dos años hemos completado mejoras en la iluminación, convirtiendo gran parte de nuestros edificios a luces LED, con incentivos de más de uno. A medida que presentamos a Navigate y a Córdoba Entrar, para brindar algunos puntos destacados sobre la emisión de bonos actual que tenemos, y también para hablar un poco más. So we have collected the data and now we are in the process of using this information to make our recommendations. When we talk about EPS, it is ready for the future. So as long as I listen to the presentation, I will get a glimpse of the funds that have been spent in the process by schools, but also. And I will give you the word now, the navigation team, according to. Duncan and the brain. Thank you, Chief Watson, our president of the committee. Good afternoon. I'm a proud former student. No voy a mencionar mi escuela preparatoria, pero estoy orgulloso de ser parte de SLPS y de retribuir mientras celebro 30 años de... Navigate, chat de aquí, gerente senior de proyectos, punto principal de contacto, y luego nuestros socios. Dejaré que ellos se presenten, quienes tampoco son ajenos a este comité.

37:24Speaker 3

Tony Duncan. Se concordó en Clark Architects. Hello, I'm Tiffany Dawkins of Cordovan Clark, architect and assistant designer of Master Planning.

37:37Speaker 2

Let's get started.

37:38 – 37:49Speaker 5

As Chief Watson eloquently mentioned, we want to allow the findings, the research, the observations, and the work

37:59 – 38:28Speaker 4

I'm going to talk about the cost per school, and then our friends from Codogán will talk about what we do with that cost and where we're going. Like some of the providers who spoke here, Mores and Trani, mentioned the work. Those were part of the promises made and fulfilled

38:32Speaker 3

Oh, I always do that. My apologies.

39:02 – 40:16Speaker 4

La mayoría provino de Amoresco Citrán en términos de mejora de infraestructura y envolvente. En segundo lugar, estuvo la seguridad. Y así, durante los últimos tres años, hemos estado trabajando todos y cada uno de los edificios porque tenemos que asegurarnos, como mencionaron nuestros proveedores, de que el entorno... this is the cost per school the map indicates all the schools being this the growing city of san luis all the public schools of san luis so from the over to the administrative buildings a state occupied and then this information that we have work that has been done and the cost per school we share it with cortigan so that They can use this information to help promote the master planning effort, which they will talk about today.

40:16 – 40:29Speaker 3

Then we organize the needs for construction systems. We develop lists of specific capital projects for each school.

40:29Speaker 4

We prepare cost summaries.

40:32Speaker 3

and we combine this information in a distinctive evaluation of the needs of each school.

40:41 – 40:59Speaker 4

To adjust buildings for pre-kindergarten schools, we establish educational criteria and coherent installations that recommend which capital improvement projects for each school, including adequate spaces for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, classrooms per grade, and secondary and secondary schools.

41:01 – 41:27Speaker 3

and dedicated spaces for STEM, special education, recreation, and support. The goals of the project are based on the evaluation of the installations and the current conditions of the market. I will group together these reports. I admit that this is a bit difficult to read in terms of the text, but basically what it says is that this is a detailed report that organizes the individual needs of the facilities, the individual needs of the facilities, and the individual needs of the facilities by construction systems.

41:29 – 42:09Speaker 4

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... As we are showing here briefly, it is an Excel sheet that will list all the schools.

42:09 – 43:32Speaker 3

You will see that there are three options, and then we have some costs in the upper part that identify the current needs of different maintenance. There are renovations that must be carried out, but also improvement projects. This Excel sheet will allow the district to observe all the costs of each year for a specific school, based on whether they decide that the school remains open or closed. So this is just a methodology where you can take the key components that we obtained from our FSA, the concrete figures for future deferred maintenance projects and really identify which could be the budget within the district, based on which schools remain online or which should close. It helps the district understand where the different types of improvements are concentrated and supports a balanced planning at all grade levels. Preliminary school renovations at the level of individual school. To reduce the existing capacity and the use of classrooms with the proposed educational program.

43:32Speaker 4

It shows how this analysis can identify renovation priorities such as pre-school classrooms, grade levels, grade spaces and elective spaces such as the system laboratory, meeting areas, coffee shops,

43:44 – 44:24Speaker 3

Let's talk about this. This is part of our evaluations. It is to identify how those future renovations will be seen. We have reviewed each school and established those standards for how it looks from pre-school to eighth grade as far as pre-school classrooms, new children's parks, laboratories, bathrooms and things like that. So, when we evaluate the school installation, we can see where the gaps are, which are the schools that may be too small or need those additions or renovations. And those are some of the projects that are being introduced and recommended for those new capital improvements. So, this last one is the Warner Primary as an example.

44:26Speaker 4

Warner Elementary demonstrates how the analysis at district level is translated into a specific plan for the school.

44:32 – 44:43Speaker 3

The evaluation identifies approximately $8.6 million in total capital needs and several potential projects, including bathroom renovations, a new children's park for pre-school, a system of classrooms.

44:43Speaker 4

Finally, this is an informative sheet for the surrounding community interested in identifying the costs and priorities of the improvement.

44:57Speaker 3

And finally, as a closing statement, the process gives the board a clear vision of the conditions documented in the facilities and the priorities of the institutions and the costs.

45:07Speaker 4

There is a transparent framework to decide which investment should be the first, maintaining the capacity to respond to educational needs and funds available.

45:27Speaker 5

It is not a point to clarify to the audience that does not hear us.

45:31Speaker 2

We know that we have asked for a couple of things, so only so that the audience that does not hear us knows that nothing has been determined or finalized.

45:37Speaker 5

I take the options that were presented and I create this from the... Thank you for sharing it.

45:43 – 46:09Speaker 2

Once the meeting is over, we are saying that for the capital projects for which we may want to issue bonuses, you will use the evaluation that I create for each school to decide which... We have had conversations to start this process and really identify what numbers and what components should be included and that will be delivered.

46:21 – 46:49Speaker 3

From these evaluations, we have taken our models and with these assumptions we go with model A. If we are going to implement this PK through new renovations, we know that not all schools are designed that way. So, by using the cost per square foot, identifying what buildings need new additions, which ones require simple renovations and which ones are more significant, the values in dollars come from there and then they are presented to know where we need to spend the money. The second option that is chosen

46:59 – 47:15Speaker 2

You should make it arrive as well, so that they are not working in vain. Got it.

47:15 – 47:26Speaker 3

Next, we will have the stabilization of inventory sales. Dr. Ward and his team will come to give us a very summarized general vision of the tracker of our core assets of the last month.

47:45Speaker 4

We created a board that will show our metrics for the schools that we have been promoting.

47:53 – 48:38Speaker 3

With this board, we basically talk about how many clicks we have obtained from each panel that we have subscribed to, GoStar, MLS, Citrix and also our website. So far we have received many inquiries and we have tried to take some of them to present offers. Aquellas en las que realmente nos hemos enfocado han recibido muchos clics y a través de esos clics hemos mantenido mucha correspondencia hablando con ellos por correo electrónico, llamadas telefónicas y también haciendo llamadas en frío.

48:39Speaker 4

Entonces, el tablero básicamente resume.

48:44 – 50:16Speaker 3

how it places all the metrics in one position, indicating which schools are receiving more attention and which ones we should focus on to attract more interest. So some of the schools are showing where they are really getting more clicks. Whatever gets more clicks, we try to raise the ones that don't get as much attention at the same level to get better responses from developers, buyers and also So this is the marker that we use to know exactly how many consultations we are receiving and also giving us a list of qualifications. If you look at the Excel sheet that we have, you will see all the things that are extracted from each website, from each consultation, from each phone call. And it also adds everything that we enter, from emails and conversations to tours and visits to the properties. Therefore, this is the board that we create and that we will send to the board every month with the metrics that we will obtain from our websites. And even if it's not tonight,

50:45Speaker 2

Hay algo que digan los desarrolladores o quienes hacen los recorridos sobre por qué no se concreta el interés de la visita.

50:56 – 51:13Speaker 3

Para ser honesta, tenemos desarrolladores que quieren todo a cambio. Esperan que el distrito escolar simplemente les entregue los edificios y sentimos que eso no sucederá porque no genera ingresos para la junta escolar y además no vamos a regalar nada por un dólar.

51:18Speaker 2

Siempre me ha preguntado.

51:20Speaker 1

Cuando determinar el precio de una propiedad, como decía usted, siempre he entendido que los desarrolladores se quieren todos.

51:34 – 52:03Speaker 2

Y noto que hay mucho desarrollo en marcha y vi que el St. Louis Post-Dispatch publicó una lista de los fondos de incentivos fiscales. Por ejemplo, con Peabody y ahora el estadio de fútbol que se está construyendo, tenemos un edificio en esa zona.

52:28 – 54:18Speaker 3

What we do is understand that when it comes to commercial properties in front of residential properties, commercial properties pay. We analyze the matrix and what kind of attention we are receiving. And we also observe the demography of the area and the income in the area. After a while, as the property remains in the market, when we adjust it, when we see that there is a moment of... But do you have a report on the next projects that will arrive? I think that's, in summary, what I'm asking. We pay attention to that at the same time, but when you deal with developers, they have their specific area in which they want to focus and then that extends to other areas where our properties are also. We hope that this draws attention to the subject. Sometimes some of those developers also make houses below. So some of the schools that we have, they look at the square meters and things like that and see that maybe they can't put so many apartment complexes or rooms inside our buildings. So that could also hurt. That's why we try to find re-users, people with similar ideas like the school we had before. Por ejemplo, si quieren abrir una escuela, un espacio de oficina o proponer algún tipo de idea que gire en torno a brindar apoyo a la comunidad como para negocios y cosas por el estilo. Te pregunto porque espero que esta junta la utiliza cuando pensemos en hacer nuevos planes, no solo los desarrolladores, porque ellos no suelen tener ideas, sino para que cuando miremos un mapa podamos comenzar realmente si el público

54:19Speaker 4

to re-imagine what could be there, because that game of the developers is over. It comes.

54:29 – 54:53Speaker 3

So when we do our statistics with buildings, we look at the commercial, we look for the best possible use for... And if it's not multifamily or something of that nature, then we move on to the next phase. ¿Qué funcionaría para esta propiedad que ayudaría a traer fondos a la comunidad o servicios a la comunidad? Por lo tanto, tratamos de contactar también.

54:53 – 55:04Speaker 2

No lo sé, pero digo que cuando haces tu investigación, ¿qué tal si presentas esa información a la Junta cuando tomemos nuestras decisiones finales sobre diferentes cosas?

55:04Speaker 1

Sí, señora. Lo haremos. Sí, señora.

55:07Speaker 2

Porque me gustaría ver.

55:13Speaker 3

Yes, that's what I mean.

55:15 – 55:41Speaker 4

Well, thank you very much and I appreciate the fact of what you said in a loud voice. People just want to try to stay with our buildings for a dollar. It is necessary for the public to see that we simply cannot give away these buildings. The land has value. We have to do what is best for the public school and get the most money possible.

55:43Speaker 3

I was in charge of leading our reuse efforts.

55:48Speaker 4

So I wrote the proposal request I wanted to publish.

56:17 – 56:44Speaker 3

Espero que los desarrolladores se valoren su interés en los bienes raíces de nuestro país. Quería ver cuál es el interés, en qué áreas y qué proyectos querían realizar los desarrolladores con SLPS. El Estatuto del Estado de Missouri.
