ng oh, yes. >> mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell ms. norton no polluting >> dr. murase. >> 6 i's. >> thank you, very much. to staff and to the peace k ak a rich decision we'll be back april 14th and our superintendent carranza >> just for clarity for all of the community and for staff then we will we will be submitting the budget without the board approval for the applying for the requirements and understanding we will come back on april 14th
3:31 am
not august april 14th with version 3.0 but sorry folks i know everybody has been here a long time next week is spring break i want to be clear i've directed my staff to take spring break no one will be here that's one less week to work on version. >> can we add when we submittal that the board had been month to month on april 14th. >> i'm sorry director lee. >> thank you commissioner president murase that's fine commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell for us to say a little bit more than there's will be an amendment to say the timing
3:32 am
exactly so i think that is not he'll done i want to say in terms of what happened the superintendent alludes to now and the 14th alike lecturer what i've heard we had a lot of boos to construct and modify the plan it is less clear at least to me what amendments would make sense based on the feedback that was provided tonight we heard questions we can follow-up open the additional questions but in terms of of version 3.0 and how it differs from 2.0 but speaking for myself didn't hear clear direction to you know that we should move in a certain
3:33 am
direction on certain line items there were comments made and individual commissioners but it's less clear what modifications will be made than last week our main direction or follow-up to answer our questions and maybe that will illuminate things but as far as the boards feedback the spending plan could look similar in two or three weeks than what was presented. >> i'm urge my colleagues if you have very specific changes to please get those to staffer as quickly as possible any questions you want to speak on i'm putting out to my colleagues to provide that direction to staff. >> can i make a comment i'm not interested in staff sending memos saying i want this and
3:34 am
that this is not how we should be doing this it is not a question of individual board members getting feedback there is has to be a meeting to make the proposal in the meeting i mean i don't know how we do it but not the way you suggest. >> commissioner fewer. >> i agree we should have spending proposals brought out in the month to month with all the colleagues present, however i really have clarification on some of the items i think that i can i am scheduled with the superintendent if not i'll trying to make time for clarification i'm sure you're aware of the description are good, i have other questions and much more in depth and want to feel confident i understand every announces of it and where the money is going i know that
3:35 am
where i'm going i agree if you have a spending expenditure w you would like to change that should be brought to the public eye and but for myself i'll be seeking you down for clarification what does that mean and i think that this is that is in alignment of what we've heard or two weeks ago i can't remember so sort of that withhold to see how it connects to a larger plan and those are the questions how did it connect to a larger plan but as commissioner president murase said we have a long evening to go yet i don't want to borrow everyone with extra clarification so i'll seek out the leadership for more answers
3:36 am
thanks. >> i want to conclude that agenda item we're on item k citizens advisory committee reports appointments to the committee by board members superintendent introduce the next two reports or next report. >> thank you commissioner president murase so i'd like to call the chief facilitates officer david to come down and introduce our annual bond report with our oversight committee. >> didn't go superintendent and board of education it is interesting to follow the two hour presentation i'll try to be as brief and succinct as possible there's a goal of the chief officer, i'm here i'm tired with about sort of good news and tidying and a happy event i had the privilege i'm a

3:45 am
have to happen now we had a sort of a bonus during the recession because things were costing less than we anticipated and by the time more work out of our money than the estimate so i'm feeling like it is time for us to have an update how we're doing as you want to say a sentence how we're doing on the remaining bond programs and what we're you know how the money is stretching or not a and the kinds of increases and costs that are effectively the productivity not the money not the management of the program. >> four or five sentences answered what commissioner wynns is referring to during the 2006 bopped program that was a blessing for the school district
