CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Randy was here with an update

Greenes has removed the landscaping and the tree. They have dug out for the curb and gutter.

Footings have been poured and block laid. They will pour the platform for the leveler on Monday.

They have submitted $63,000 total so far and we are at 14% completion.

We have a new project manager from Greenes.

We need to put pressure on them to get the pervious payment and parking completed. They were

supposed to do that before the footers and didn’t. We hope to have the parking back on July 7th.

As we were doing this we have found gutter and caulking that needed to be done. We also are

having them add the concrete bad and box dumpster with a cover.

We will have to extend the retaining wall and hand rail so that should be the first change order



REVIEW OF DETAILED FINANCIAL AND VIOLATIONS REPORT

For May:
Down: 1.7 overall. LBD up $2510.25 Walk-in down $14,634.50. Overall: down $12,124.25
Down $291,372.21 for the Year.


We will probably be down for June as well.


I shared that we are getting the oaths from Nicole at the Town of Boone. We are also adding all
the recommended action.


We have 5 Budget Amendments. We have an attachment. We only need to vote on 4. We have
previously given the staff authority to make the other amendments.


On a motion by Ronny seconded by Will the Board moved to adopt the budget amendment to add

Capital Outlay for new construction by adding $150,000.

 VOTE: Aye-All

 Nay-None

 Absent-Dalton



See Attached Police Report


GRANT BID AWARD AND INSURANCE UPDATE

To date we have paid 98,192. If we pay out the $10,000.00, we have approved that leaves

$88,192. We will have paid out at the end of May. We will be close to giving the schools the total

they get every year. We probably will not have the extra money. We will revaluate when the audit

comes in to maybe give the other two organizations money if there is any extra left.



Barry and Craig updated us on insurance. We have paid the premium and it will go into effect on

July 1, 2026. They guys are happy about this. We are going to be able to cover their Dental and

Eye Care.
As long as this rate holds we will continue to cover the dental and eye care. We will reevaluate

every year.

Ronny made that as a motion and Will seconded.

 VOTE: Aye-All

 Nay-None

 Absent-Dalton
