Zaragoza mr. Cook. Mr. Haney ms. Mendozamcdonnell dr. Murase ms. Norton mr. Sanchez and mr. Walton thank you. And new commissioner Vice President mendosamcdonnell. Thank you i pulled item k 58 a retroactive resolution normally im curious on this one this the reason was the start data was required by the grant and for the Downtown High school for 19,000 and this has been in motion since august 2016 thats that months ago we have been on a contract that we didnt have approved or funding for i want to know what happened here. Good evening commissioners assistant superintendent the information i can get the specific grant information if you want a followup that is a grant the grant is not final list and the work is planned for example, you know that downtown is a project based Learning School they actually plan the projects and start the projects at the beginning of the semester we believe that is a little bit long for this and he agree with you and i can correct that it is just an example of a grant not finalized and having the plan to start work. If you have a grant for a postage that is done at the end of year you should have the funding in place before you start the project to my point i mean whether the point is based or not you cant have work we contract with people without knowing how to pay for it or a contract approved and you know what i mean that is a little bit more egregious seven months a a long time whether you know youre paying for a mr. Starr project. Agreed commissioner that ill move and work with the school to pasture they correct that theyll have to do rely on the Grant Funding this year to pay for next years actually plan a year in advance with the particular projects thats what im going to advise them. In the future id like to see more of a reason than the grants said so. Understood any others discussions on this item if not ms. Casco roll call vote on the severed item roll call vote. Thank you ms.
