I acknowledge that the geographical region of Camas is located on the ancestral and territorial lands of the Chinook and Cowlitz People, and that the Chinook are still fighting to be a federally recognized tribe on their own land.

The board values public input.  The responsibility of the board is to actively listen and reflect on the public comments. The board may only discuss and act upon items included on the written agenda.  For that reason, board members cannot respond to any comments or questions during public comment but can ask the Superintendent to follow up on issues raised during public testimony.

Guidelines for public input emphasize the respect and consideration of others.  Boisterous conduct will not be permitted at any meeting of the Board of Directors, nor will any harassing or threatening remarks be tolerated.  Complaints about individual employees should be directed to the Superintendent’s office as a personnel matter.

Each person providing public comment will have a total of 3 minutes.  Once called upon please step up to the podium, face the board, state your name for the record. The bell will ring at 3 minutes to remind you that your time is up.

The Operations department is asking the board to approve a price increase for buses ordered in August 2021. An initial request for four Model D school buses was approved at the board meeting on August 23, 2021. On June 12, 2022, Western Bus Sales notified us of an increase in the prices of these buses. We researched the matter with OSPI and it was determined that it is within their ability to do the price modification. The increase is $8,500 per bus, a 6% increase over the original price per bus. These purchases are obligations of the Transportation Vehicle Fund, which has sufficient budget capacity to accommodate this increase.

Operations requests board approval of Final Acceptance declaring the Garver Renovation project with Todd Construction as complete. There were 20 change orders. These change orders amounted to $1,239,190.31, including sales tax which is within the 9.9% contingency of the original contract amount of $12,644,860.00, which includes sales tax. Operations staff have worked carefully with Mahlum Architects and Todd Construction to ensure all work has been completed in accordance with contract specifications. The project was completed for $13,884,050.31, including sales tax. Board acceptance allows the district to submit a notice of completion to the Washington State Department of Revenue, Employment Security Department, and Labor & Industries.

Facilities are requesting board approval to award a contract for emergency roof repair for two (2) roof areas of the Liberty Middle School.  These emergency roof repairs are due to significant active water leaks penetrating the roof, thus entering interior building areas. In each area, the existing roof along with previous repairs has failed.  Operations Staff recommends replacing the existing single-ply roof membrane for these areas.  Replacement work would be performed by Garland/DSB, Inc. and All American Roofing under the Garland/DBS, Inc. contract via OMNIA Partners and will come with a  30-year warranty.  The cost of this project will be $92,498.11 which includes a 7% contingency to accommodate necessary changes due to any unforeseen conditions needing repair and Washington State sales tax. Upon board funding approval, the emergency roof repair PO and contract will be issued with an anticipated completion date of October 2022.
