still good we have spot head CrossFit sex Lake Bracken graduation Whitestone Ward is awesome Darrell Allen Harbor Freight Marta Station Firehouse Subs right around other side so thank you very much now we're going to meet to I have a motion to accept consent agenda Amir approval of the consent agenda Kelly goes to prison  Augusta all in favor say aye opposed question carry play the first item on our regular agenda item a resolution regarding circular status of 4-H organization Connectivity Source was not just for a guitar at 4:18 so we like your free will to add brazza Brazos County Texas 4-H organization as a extracurricular organization Nebraska I've been approval of the resolution regarding Quaker State in 4H second we have a motion and a second from Kelly leaving  any discussion on this item and item next item on the agenda Item B interlocal agreement educational Broadband Spectrum I actually have something or bring it in for the board again that you actually approved in the June of 2010 the reason we're bringing it back before you to see it because at that time local agreement with not ready by Texas A&M University now channels through the 1960s over the course of time they change their purpose their benefit to the district for quite some time unbeneficial to the district if that's the word you tonight they have not given at the benefit that they had in the past and that's what to do with these channels the SEC said you have until the particular deadline to substantial use of these channels or you will forfeit for the future at that time you weren't certain whether we needed to keep them or not keep them that we investigated it some more we realize that they're worse than benefit to hold on to these and if they could possibly benefit us in a new and a new way we had utilized it before to something called a WiMAX technology it's a wireless type technology providing internet and network access over the air over long distances okay so at that time we entered into are we approved entering into an interlocal at what time University things being what they were the interlocal agreement never came to fruition okay time passed the SDC extended their dead and clarified what substantially used Med so at that time Bryan ISD concerned about the potential loss of those channels in those frequencies decided show substantial use on our own and so we purchase the necessary equipment to Joseph denchel use and to have them you'd lived in District giving the FCC deadline on her own time half the Morgan and also got their system up and running at did the two other frequency holders in our area which is Blinn college and college station is so together we have 16 frequencies at the group that we could share to the board decide to enter into the interlocal agreement so there's another group call the Brazos Valley Community Network that is an organization that is non-profit comprised of the four individuals that you just hurt I am and Brian is the number of other nonprofits in the area the purpose of this group is to help provide work fiber ring in the community for the benefit of its members so should our fiber be cut we could tap our Network another way so that we wouldn't be down Atlanta Board of Directors meeting for BBC net the group agreed to take on WiMAX as a new phase in the expansion of the Brazos Valley Community Network Beyond fiber steering but now I'm moving to a wireless hearing of network resources and its plan for the financial sustainability of the wine it's all paid for through our dues and fillers before you this evening is the agreement to share our frequencies we still have the right to use them for Point connections which we done in the past which saved a tremendous amounts of money and having to lay fiber versus the wireless and we still have the benefits of having that larger wireless network over the entire Brazos Valley that we can access you know it's a little complicated and goes back to the sixties you have any questions you have, remember  in the document night you mentioned I think there were two sites for antennas that Riverside Kyle Field and then I actually the county building here in town right now are Oriental home Riverside if you have one on Kyle and if it get another one in downtown Bryan right now our antenna are on top of the Civic Center in SF A and B apology we just don't get high enough to really benefit from their youth it's helpful but not nearly as helpful if we all partner together the city of Bryan to see if what station are all apart of this board of directors and if they'll share their towers will be glad to share our frequency and have some in-kind donations it depends on the need of the individuals on the on the Community Network board and I know the Cog is also a member of it and they have a great desire for it to further out into the rural areas of our community that would directly benefit members and not necessarily the community at large so it wouldn't be like car list for the whole world out in the rural community but it would provide some of our employees and some of our members have access to our direct Network wirelessly out in the community can go for example we went 8 miles past the transportation building with a point-to-point connection that was with the current antenna elevation and provides for more data  I don't remember seeing anything about allocation of resources , crowded Spectrum the kind of brought in the Spectrum in to run the coverage in that area and using a different frequency set for that area and so they feel pretty confident that as it grows they can provide for it to say no hopefully these would increase there's talk in College Station and I believe in Brian as well. Police radios for potentially coming on to this system an antibody quite an advantage to them as well  so there will be some news somebody else any other questions becoming saturated at our we can influence on the agenda item having fun Senate approval of the interlocal agreement with Texas A&M University to operate and manage the FCC educational Broadband Spectre frequency all in favor say aye, napping while ago I didn't realize how much does an attic in Spanish  black to revisit  do it now or later but I have question  to talk about understand anybody else the name of Jack kimito not so what item did you want to do for next time yes ma'am I try updating  Phantom Regiment plans I was mentioning this to while ago I was at least like to get the part that's cut off that there's information in there bad it is explaining what's going to be done and ran out of room in the box so you don't read it all I can't read it all so I could just be provided problem I don't think that that that will be an issue for her breathing and I just would like to do the whole plan so that's all that was on that timer thing was we had discussed  the policy game which I thought normally would be separated out not on the consent agenda and that's why I was asleep but anyway we had talked about adding or not I thought substituting the language now I can't find my things going to sleep and I  the Lang that we had adopted in our boards manual our operating manual we were we talked about substituting that line at least that's what I thought we could they will the old language that the language that was in there was not taken out and they tend to contradict each other at least to some degree yeah can you find it somewhere else VyStar Barefoot very okay you're up want to the request but you clearly identify personal opinion The Voice what are the pregnancy signs don't tell me one cheer proposing to remove that person you can't respond when are operating procedures the direct in the first time it says that in the yellow yellow highlighted the primary general questions or whatever present from super 10 or whatever that. Think is made clear but how is your supposed to call someone asking about my board members personal opinion on something with regard to the contradict I think the first one original language call you but it also says that any board member may receive in a car from the media requesting information warning if you may respond to the request but she clearly identified personal opinion Android disparaging comments about the actions taken by the majority to you're able to speak your part if you were the dissenting vote but I do think that it should be policies of the board president to speak for the board I think that's what that says everybody feels like that doesn't contradict I thinking I don't think that you need that anybody else yeah all board members who receive calls from the media to direct them to the board president or superintendent until notified that the call I don't think that that I think that that's perfectly acceptable policy to a routine to follow but II I say that beginning that the board president serves as a primary spokesman OK Google well I agree with that as long as long as everybody understands who don't supposed to be David that was already so basically wrong with you I'll let that's fine I was just I felt like it contradicted we can go back and forth operating for  okay really is acid you're right it is worried that way and I'm praying for you  entertaining  I mean I think we're off should happen  let's move on to the resignation of Liam as a Long Middle School teacher teacher attractive professional find find me to find a good cause did not exist under section 21 105 of the Texas Education Code to terminate the probationary contract of Leah Helm and authorize a superintendent to submit to the Texas Education agency a complaint alleging that Miss Helms as abandon art chapter 21 contract Dr winneberger made the Motions we be made the second all in favor say aye.
