C. BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

C-1. Consider approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), authorization for the Superintendent or his designee to execute necessary documents associated therewith, and authorization to proceed with the work associated with the renovation of the College Station Middle School track

Superintendent Eddie Coulson recognized Deputy Superintendent Mike Ball who reported to the Trustees regarding the renovation of the College Station Middle School track. The renovation of the track is scheduled as the first project for the 2007 bond program. This scheduling allows that project to be near completion before the high school track becomes unavailable due to the renovations scheduled at that location. The scope of the project includes a new track surface with six inches of asphalt material. The high jump areas within the track are also scheduled for renovation. The track will then be comparable to the track at A&M Consolidated Middle School.

MOTION 3832: I move approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price of $789,182 from Pepper Lawson Construction. It is further recommended that the Superintendent or his designee be authorized to sign any necessary documents to implement the Guaranteed Maximum Price and that the Board of Trustees authorize the commencement of the work associated with the renovation of the track at College Station Middle School. The motion was made by Trustee Steve Aldrich and seconded by Trustee Marc Chaloupka. The motion passed with seven ayes and zero nos.

C-2. Consideration, discussion, and possible action regarding the recent TASA/TASB Convention

Trustees discussed sessions recently attended at the Annual TASA/TASB Convention in Dallas, Texas. Goal setting, Superintendent Evaluation, Communications, Strategic Planning, Visioning, and Team Performance/Self-Evaluation were all sessions that intrigued trustees. Clear Creek ISD and Allen ISD were districts that presented at the conference that impressed CSISD trustees with data software and package presentations.

C-3. Consideration, discussion and possible action regarding the 11/6/07 board agenda

Discussion occurred regarding agenda items for the 11/6/07 meeting.
