121 <br /> ii. Nyah: shared Loudon County Capital Asset Program <br /> Fund model via email: <br /> https://www.loudoun.gov/DocumentCenterNiew/1641 <br /> 24/13a---Capital-Asset-Preservation-Program-Fund <br /> d. Jean: Group has met seven times, has been very valuable in <br /> understanding the breadth of the issues facing — aging schools <br /> aren't serving our students well <br /> i. Time to write a report on what we've learned— state of <br /> our capital needs - and have recommendations for next <br /> steps in the report <br /> ii. Would like to have a draft of the report/executive <br /> summary for our next meeting in August to be reviewed <br /> by group and discuss whether to approve <br /> 1. Would then go to BOCC and school boards for <br /> review <br /> a. Would like to get a consultant to review <br /> the needs and come up with a 10 year plan <br /> to address needs in both districts <br /> i. What policy changes do we need <br /> to make <br /> 2. Need buy-in from group — would continue to <br /> meet but as an advisory group to consultant <br /> iii. Bonnie: agrees with Jean's idea <br /> iv. Jean:we need a sub-committee—Jean,Bonnie,OC staff, <br /> member of staff from each district(total of 5 people) <br /> 1. Jean will reach out to people individually outside <br /> of the meeting <br /> v. Carrie: agrees with plan and thanked chair and vice chair <br /> for leadership — should we add a board member from <br /> CHCCS to the sub-committee? <br /> vi. Bonnie — how hard is it to hire and offer competitive <br /> salaries for school facilities staff? <br /> 1. Al: Qualified people are out there but salaries are <br /> hard — can be rewarding even if not able to pay <br /> as much as in private sector <br /> 2. Patrick: depends on local contractors — have a <br /> large HVAC/mechanical contractor in <br /> Hillsborough and often lose HVAC mechanics to <br /> that company and to area universities <br /> a. No career ladder so how do they do that <br /> to retain staff? Help with licensing? Job <br /> shadowing with current high school <br /> students as a recruitment tool <br /> 4. Next Meeting is Wednesday, August 17, 2022 <br />
