8.B. Director's Update
Discussion:
Congratulations to everyone we recognized tonight. Invite everyone to Swearing in ceremony on Tuesday, November 22nd at noon. Congratulations to Mr. Pless and Mr. O'Quinn for being re-elected to their positions on our Elizabethton City School Board. Their time and commitment to Elizabethton City Schools are appreciated. Thanks for the opportunity to attend the TSBA Conference and Annual Convention in Nashville. Heard lots of great speakers. We have opened bids on the HME school renovation project. Currently working with the lowest compliant bidder to value-engineer some of the project to get it down to the amount of funding we have. High quality project, may have problems getting everything in. Very excited we'll have a contract to present at December meeting. Thanksgiving break next week. Everyone out next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Thankful for the opportunity to work here and wish each and every one a Happy Thanksgiving.

Presented this bid renewal a few months ago, and it was approved. There was an oversight on our part. Current economic situation warrants the $50.00 per month increase. This is the first increase that we've had in pest control services since the first bid approval.
