III. Discussion Items / Updates

A.

Facilities ECMS- G

City of Gardena re approved adjusted Prop K budget. We are waiting for final city council approval to authorize us to continue work. Expect within 30-60 days. 

Regreen contract update. 
Solar at Gardena may save up to $2500/ mth.  Project has been submitted fo State approval. 
inglewood has not been re approved by authorizer yet, so we are in a higher risk category, which presents 'challenges' to state approval. We need to demonstrate that property would be used for another school in the event that we vacate. ReGreen is handling the process of working with the State. I

B.

Facilities ECMS - I

Megan reports on progress of Inglewood site. Construction stared.  So far no change orders. No budget impact. City charged us $50K for "Art" and "Green" fees, which don't seem justified.  We may revisit.   We have not seen an actual fee schedule. May 11 is completion date. 

Portables. First floor has been installed and second floor is going in now. 

C.
