Properties committee thanks outgoing manager Carl and welcomes new capital projects manager Dave Johnson

Committee members used the properties committee meeting to acknowledge Carl, the outgoing capital projects manager, and to introduce Dave Johnson as his replacement.

Committee Chair Kaye Williams opened the meeting and later noted, "This is the last meeting that we're gonna have Carl with us." Several committee members spoke in tribute. Committee member Lou said she appreciated Carl's help on the Silver Grama remodel. Another committee member recalled Carl's first project — the tennis courts — and praised his long service. Committee member Suzanne said, "This is our last meeting with you. I know you have two more meetings that you'll be able to participate in with the workshop and the governing board meeting. We look forward to seeing you in the community as well." (Speakers identified in the transcript by first name only are recorded here as committee members with last names not provided in the meeting text.)

Carl was thanked repeatedly for his years of service; committee comments cited eight years on the job and many projects completed. The committee then heard from Dave Johnson, introduced by Carl as "the new capital projects manager," who said he was "good to meet you all" and later told the group he would "be glad to carry on as best I can" and that maintenance staff had affectionately nicknamed him "Carl's Jr." Johnson thanked Carl and said he looked forward to working with staff and the committee.

No formal personnel action was required or recorded in the minutes; the recognition occurred during committee comments and introductory remarks. The Governing Board will see the committee's budget recommendation and ongoing project updates at the workshop that followed.
