$910,000.00 Construction Budget

• $60,000 for contingencies for access control, vinyl decal, and paint
• [We didn't anticipate HVAC issues (27 units on the top of the building). The negotiation from the previous owner was turned over good and order within 3 weeks but failed to do so.]
• "Self-Help" was chosen through attorney counsel which is using funds from UP to fund until repayment can be made in late September.
• Beasley joined at 7:00 pm via remote
• Reviewed and discussed Elysium Revision 2 HVAC work
• The board will review the documents for calculations
• Action Item: TGriffin will send the budget, change orders, and pay apps.

The project was supposed to be completed by July 8th, and they are currently in the building.

Safety Issues: Workers are in the building with security access to the entire building while children are in school.  No background check on the workers.

School begins 8/14/24 (tomorrow)
