4. HEARING OF THE PUBLIC (RELATED TO AGENDA ITEMS OR GENERAL COMMENTS)

• Rich MacIntyre - Crestwood Revitalization Committee has formed and had its first meeting in October. Have appointed 5 chairs and subcommittees. Plan is to meet again in January and come to board meetings with ideas. Glad they have not put emergency levy on the ballot because they believe it needs to be a grassroots effort to get something passed. Want to do a facility survey of the community and staff and tour other buildings of districts of similar size to get a better idea of what we can do. Know that Geis will be building additional buildings. Gentleman purchased land near Biomed to build a fueling station, but is in a fight with the state regarding frontage, but that could bring more funding to the district. Committee plans to come to the BOE in future months with plans, designs and more. Would also like to get feedback from faculty and staff on salaries, benefits, curriculum and more.
