   Public comments -
   Scott of Farnsworth Group had an update for RHS cafeteria roof replacement will be completed 7/18 and inspection scheduled shortly after. The parking lot at WES just needs striping and landscaping to finish that project. For the NMS doors and security project, Scott is looking to schedule a start date. The elevator at LGS needs modernization the contractor informed him and thought it would be just shy of $150,000. The elevator could possibly be put under Health Life Safety. Farnsworth has helped with community engagement and other group's new projects or renovating our current schools so they have some ideas we could use. (Scheduled 2-3 meetings at least one before school starts and one after. Offer a website questionnaire for those that cannot make it to the meetings. Establish/explain the options and why they are needed right now.
   Discuss the budget status and how it plays into tax levies.)
