Comments by Board President, Marty Braster
Board President Marty Braster and Superintendent Tom Rubel spoke to the attendees about the purpose of the meeting.  The district has been working with Frevert-Ramsey-Kobes Architects-Engineers on a Master Facility Draft.  The intent is for the public to see the presentation of the draft and to offer feedback.

Presentation of Master Facility Draft
Rachelle Hines with Frevert-Ramsey-Kobes was present to review her power point of the Master Facility Draft.  Along with Principals Matt Johnson, Karen Swanson, Julie Caraccio, and Athletic Director Rich Parker, they went through information for Centerville High School, Howar Middle School, the Preschool, and the Athletic/Activity Complex.

The presentation consisted of the current layouts of all four of the selected buildings/areas, observations of identified areas of need, and then a list of possible improvements for each area.  The presentation also included estimates of possible total costs for each area.

Mike Thomas left the meeting at 6:25 and returned at 6:27.

Process for Feedback
After each section the board, administration, and architect took various questions from the audience.  The board also described several different ways for the public to give feedback, including a paper form that was available at the meeting, an electronic survey available on the district’s website, along with an option to give electronic feedback through cellphones.

Closing Comments
The board and superintendent closed the meeting with requests for the public to please give feedback.  It was mentioned that the district does not have enough funds at this time to do all of the projects identified so the board is leaning on the public for their input before they set priorities.  The board will pull together all of the responses from the feedback and will formulate the next step to bring to the public.  

Adjourn
It was moved by Mike Moore and seconded by Kevin Wiskus to adjourn the meeting at 7:20 pm.  Motion carried unanimously.
