Call the Meeting to Order
D. Stephan called a meeting of the School Facilities Committee of One City Schools to order on Thursday Jan 14, 2021 at 5:35 PM.
II. School Facilities
A.
ULI Proposal for 450 Coyier Lane
The Committee discussed the ULI proposal and was disappointed at the price they were asking and a bit confused as to why the proposal focused on a cost per pupil analysis. Committee asked staff to review Charter School Growth Fund tool for understanding how to calculate reasonable facility costs. Committee also asked to review former OCS Finance Committee Chair, Bob Beckman's, lease v. ownership analysis.
B.
1707 Broadway Update
Committee reviewed, once again, the initial, conservative estimates for acquisition and operation expenses of 1707 and discussed how OCS could achieve its vision on that site. There seems to be very little downside to moving forward, but OCS staff needs to show it can grow at a rate fast enough (and do it well) to support the operating expenses.
III. Other Business
A.
Novation Campus Update - Alexander Co.
No real change here (the owner prefers office space), but if there is interest, best would be for Kaleem and Kevin Conroy to engage Joe Alexander directly.
IV. Closing Items
A.
Adjourn Meeting
There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 5:49 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
D. Stephan
