1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
704, I will call this meeting to order.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,280
If everybody would please stand

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,400
and we will recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,760
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,480
of America and to the Republic for which it stands,

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,640
one nation under God, indivisible,

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,640
with liberty and justice for all.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Board members, I just, and community members,

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,120
I just want to let everybody know that our admin team

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,200
are all on vacation except for Mr. Leiderman.

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,640
He's the last man standing here in person,

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,840
but our admin team are connected virtually,

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,320
so you will be hearing from them virtually.

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,840
So board members, the request is that when you're speaking,

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,320
please use your microphone because that is the only way

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880
that the admin team can hear you.

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,960
So we will try this with roll call first.

18
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,000
OK.

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,400
Joe Maddock Nelson.

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,240
Here.

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,240
Angie Shriver.

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,880
Kristen Matt Miller.

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,280
Daniel Nicholson.

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,200
Here.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Gene Adams.

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Here.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Mike Parisic.

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,320
Here.

29
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,680
Melissa Cornelius.

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,640
Here.

31
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Randy Myers.

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,720
Here.

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,920
Danny Piot.

34
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Here.

35
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Letter D is district mission, and I've asked Melissa

36
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,680
if she would please read the district mission, please.

37
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,920
Mission driven by purpose guided by integrity

38
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,040
defined by success.

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,160
Vision, build a proud Anego community.

40
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,840
Model, don't talk about it, be about it.

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,000
Thank you so much.

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Number two, consent agenda.

43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Letter A, approval of agenda, minutes,

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,360
financial reports, report of retirement and resignation,

45
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,600
report of new hires and overnight school activity trips.

46
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,480
I will be looking for a motion, please.

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320
I like to make a motion to amend the agenda

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,040
and move the pool conversation forward.

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,680
I think there's a lot of people here

50
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,080
that want to discuss that tonight.

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,080
And to be considered of everybody's time,

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600
I would like to move that forward.

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,040
OK, we will take that vote to the board.

54
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,200
I'll just remind the board that the discussion is among the board,

55
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,200
not the people that are here.

56
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,960
The discussion for the pool is among the board members tonight.

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,320
No open floor discussion.

58
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,640
Sure.

59
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,640
So the motion has been made to move letter G under number four,

60
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:50,240
letter G before all other business.

61
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,120
And I think, Mike, do you want to add any more to your motion?

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,880
No, I just want to move it forward.

63
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,000
OK.

64
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Any discussion or comments of the motion brought to us?

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,840
My question I have is, I know Kristen had stated with her work

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,720
schedule she'd be coming late.

67
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Did she have a time frame in mind?

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,840
If I recall, she said 715 that she would be here.

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,520
OK.

70
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Just knowing that I don't know if Ms. Shiber can be here now,

71
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,600
but.

72
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,040
Angie is on the virtual link.

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,480
OK.

74
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,920
OK, I do know that Angie was in work in Marquette today.

75
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,640
She let me know last night.

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,360
And she would try to come on if she can and if she has the sale.

77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Service ability.

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,960
We can pause for a few minutes.

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,880
If the board wishes to, we can take a recess

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560
and hold the meeting until Kristen gets here.

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,160
If that's what the board wishes to do.

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,640
If we want to move this item forward.

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Or we can move it anywhere in the agenda.

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,720
If we wanted to move it up to before or right

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,920
after the administration reports.

86
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,640
And that would give Kristen a chance to get here.

87
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,080
I'd be fine with that.

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,880
So Mike, you want to amend your motion

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,520
to move the pool up to after the administration reports?

90
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,280
Yes, that's fine.

91
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,960
OK, so now the amendment to the motion on the floor

92
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,840
is to move the item number 4G after the administration

93
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:50,160
reports.

94
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Any discussion or questions of amending the agenda?

95
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,000
OK.

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,960
Hearing Nader, you're ready for a vote.

97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,360
This is the amendment to the motion that's on the floor.

98
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,440
Your voting device is now open.

99
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840
Make sure your name is on the back of your device.

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,560
My number 8.

101
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,440
I vote, yes.

102
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,680
That is acceptable.

103
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,040
Would anyone like to change their vote?

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Hearing no one changing the vote, the vote is now closed.

105
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440
And the motion carries.

106
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,040
The amendment to the motion carries

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,640
with gene voting yes on the amendment.

108
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,720
Now that becomes the main motion.

109
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,920
Are there any other questions or discussion

110
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,520
of the main motion on the floor, which

111
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:21,400
is to move item 4G to right after the administration reports?

112
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Hearing no questions or discussion,

113
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,640
the voting device is now open.

114
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,160
OK, would anyone like to change their vote?

115
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,320
The vote is now closed.

116
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,320
And that motion carries.

117
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Yeah, gene, it worked.

118
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,800
So we will go back to item 2, consent agenda, approval

119
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,560
of agenda, minutes, financial reports,

120
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,240
report of retirement and resignation,

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,280
report of new hires in overnight school activity trips.

122
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,920
I'll be looking for a motion.

123
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,440
Danny, I've got a question.

124
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:12,200
I had a question about the new hire in terms of a license.

125
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:19,000
And I didn't get an answer back by email.

126
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,200
And so I'm not sure if I should not approve that without seeing

127
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,200
that, or if I can remove it from, I'm not sure.

128
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,800
What do you recommend that I do there?

129
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,280
So I know our administration is listening,

130
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,560
and I think they know who you're talking about.

131
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,320
Obviously, we can't disclose the name of the person publicly.

132
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,240
Mrs. Oginski, do you have an answer for that person that

133
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,920
was in question?

134
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,640
I do.

135
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,840
And it's part of operations, the day-to-day operations.

136
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,440
And that person is a new hire.

137
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,520
And it's oftentimes that new hires under that classification

138
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,720
do not come with that.

139
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,840
It's part of the support that they receive

140
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,000
from the district with onboarding.

141
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Oh, so they'll get the license.

142
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,400
But they don't have a license now, basically.

143
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,000
Correct.

144
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,760
It's a very common practice because not oftentimes

145
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,440
do people make the decision that they

146
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960
want to entertain going into the educational field

147
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,720
until after they've been hired.

148
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,760
But yes, it's very common practice.

149
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,000
OK, thank you.

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,500
Uh-huh.

151
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:46,080
Now, I will entertain a motion for the consent agenda.

152
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,720
I move to accept the consent agenda.

153
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,320
Motion on the floor is to accept the consent agenda

154
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,680
of approving the June 8 special called board meeting minutes,

155
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,680
report of retirements and resignations,

156
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,480
report of new hires, overnight school activity trips,

157
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,640
finance reports for May 26 and June 26.

158
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,440
And consideration of all current bills

159
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:25,160
checks number 9750 through 9837, an amount of $332,142.08.

160
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:34,240
ACH is numbers 252601377 through 2520601535,

161
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:41,160
in the amount of $666,917.88, and wire transfers

162
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:51,080
the amount of $16,662.50 for a total of $1,015,722.46.

163
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,120
That is the consent agenda.

164
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,200
Any questions?

165
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Randy, would you like to speak to your motion?

166
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,120
No.

167
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Any questions of the motion on the floor?

168
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,680
Just a statement or feedback excitement maybe is the best

169
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:11,760
word for the number of applicants, 730 and 41 applicants.

170
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,320
Any other questions or discussion for the motion

171
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,800
on the floor?

172
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,760
I need to abstain from a couple of the checks

173
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,560
due to be unemployed part-time at Krieger and Steinfest

174
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,560
and Lamer's Bus.

175
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:44,720
Check number 148914001430 and 1490.

176
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Deanna, did you get all of those numbers?

177
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,960
Yes, I did.

178
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560
OK, thank you.

179
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,880
Any other questions or discussion?

180
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,360
With the resignations and people leaving the district,

181
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,640
this is a concern for me.

182
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,080
Are we doing any exit interviews at all?

183
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,520
I know that was something that we've

184
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,000
done in the past years ago, but as of recent,

185
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,440
has that been happening, do you know?

186
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,840
To my knowledge, I'm not aware of that,

187
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,560
but that, again, that is an operational, not a board

188
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,320
level discussion.

189
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,480
So we'll ask Mrs. Oginski to answer that question for you.

190
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,920
So currently, I am not 100% certain in the past we were.

191
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600
I am sure that you are fully aware, too,

192
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,600
that we still have a vacancy in our HR department.

193
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,440
And since that vacancy happened, I

194
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,480
am not sure if our one person who's holding down payroll

195
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,920
and HR is continuing to do that.

196
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,160
I'm just not sure.

197
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,080
Any other questions of the motion on the floor, Danny?

198
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,960
I just have a question.

199
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:05,240
So on the resignations here, one of them

200
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,120
being a foreign language, is that now

201
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,960
going to be taken out of the curriculum,

202
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,480
or is there a substitute for that?

203
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,920
No, it's not taken out.

204
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,160
The position is posted on weekend.

205
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,320
And I just interrupt here.

206
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,120
I just want to let you know I'm on through Google Meet.

207
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,760
This is Angie.

208
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,720
OK, Angie, thank you for coming in.

209
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,880
The record will reflect that you joined the meeting at 717.

210
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,880
717.

211
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Are there any other questions of the motion on the floor?

212
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,520
OK.

213
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Then the voting devices before you and the vote is now open.

214
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,520
Angie, were you involved with the discussion enough

215
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,880
to vote on the consent agenda?

216
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,820
Yes.

217
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,120
So what is your vote?

218
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,040
And Nathan will put it up on the screen for you.

219
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,040
Yes.

220
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Sorry about that.

221
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,360
Would anyone like to change their vote?

222
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,320
And the vote's closed.

223
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,400
And the motion carries.

224
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:39,160
OK, moving on to item number three, administration reports.

225
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,960
I will turn this over to our district administrator,

226
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,560
Mrs. Oginski.

227
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:45,840
Thank you.

228
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840
So first, we have the director of business services,

229
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,720
the monthly budget update.

230
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,160
The report is attached.

231
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,800
And Mrs. Fosbinder is present remotely,

232
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,240
if anyone has questions.

233
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Kelly, and this is Mike.

234
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,720
I have a question on your report.

235
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
It says the budget is currently tracking, as expected,

236
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,920
as not projecting a deficit at this time.

237
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,280
I guess I'm curious how that works with everything

238
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,480
that's going on with the Aquatic Center.

239
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,480
Yep, that's correct.

240
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,200
And as you are on the board, as you continue,

241
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,280
we haven't had a committee meeting

242
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200
in which we go through the details of these.

243
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,640
But it's always 10 and 27 funds.

244
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,000
It's not discussing fund 80.

245
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Shouldn't we be looking at all of the district finances

246
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,760
though?

247
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,240
So at the committee level, we review fund 10 and fund 27

248
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,920
every single month.

249
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,720
And moving forward, we can include fund 80,

250
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,200
if that is something that is decided.

251
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Kelly, that would be something that you can speak with,

252
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,040
your chairman, Danny, about going forward

253
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,880
for those new committee meetings.

254
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Can we talk about fund 80 without currently having

255
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,760
a fund 80 employee, like a liaison position?

256
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,560
I know that sounds like a really silly question,

257
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,080
but that's been one of the significant barriers

258
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,680
with the Aquatics Center situation.

259
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Maybe that's something we could follow up on or check in.

260
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,680
I don't disagree with including that in the committee.

261
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,320
But that has been one of two significant barriers

262
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,240
with the Aquatics Center, so just to make sure

263
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,640
we're covering our basis with that.

264
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,520
Kelly, I'll let you move.

265
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,200
I think that's something we would also

266
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,800
need to consult with Davis on.

267
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,840
I think I agree with you, Jill.

268
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Danny, so when I look at the attachment

269
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600
for the monthly budget updates, is there a way

270
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,160
that we can actually get a monthly balance sheet P&L

271
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,200
from fiscal year to date to the last closed month

272
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,320
so that we can actually see numbers?

273
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,040
I mean, everything sounds very positive

274
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,000
on this informational sheet, but I really

275
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,480
would like to see some sort of number

276
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,600
so that we can actually make decisions in both.

277
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,080
So Danny, those are things that we do at the committee level.

278
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,800
Since there hasn't been a committee with this new board,

279
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,320
that's something that you haven't experienced yet.

280
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,440
But yes, we go through numbers with the budget each month

281
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,640
at the finance committee.

282
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,520
Thank you.

283
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,720
You'll see that at your next committee meeting.

284
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Any other discussion or questions?

285
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,600
OK.

286
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,400
Moving on to item B, director of people's services

287
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,760
and special education.

288
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,640
Ms. Wagner is not present with us,

289
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,840
but her report is attached.

290
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,120
Are there any questions?

291
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,840
OK, item C, director of buildings and grounds.

292
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,120
Mr. Leiberman is present if there are any questions.

293
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:25,120
I have a question, Jake.

294
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:30,000
Have there been any movement on the facilities issues

295
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,560
at the aquatic center?

296
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,240
Any of those maintenance issues?

297
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,720
Nice shirt, by the way.

298
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Thank you.

299
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,200
No, after board directive that we are not to operate the pool

300
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,760
at all, I have been nonexistent at that facility at all.

301
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,640
There's nothing that I'm aware of for update.

302
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,160
And I know that the YMCA is operating it in the meantime,

303
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,760
so I don't know what work they've done or not done.

304
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,560
I assume it's pretty minimal, kind of a holding pattern,

305
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,080
if you will, if something broke,

306
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,800
I'm sure that they make sure we could still open the doors.

307
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:23,320
But prior to that, actually, I want to correct one thing

308
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,760
on that, there was a door operator that

309
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,960
was in question for quite some time

310
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,360
and rate at the same time that the board had made

311
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,680
that directive, Davis, advised me to go ahead

312
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,520
and get that operator finished, so that was completed.

313
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,320
But other than that, there's been nothing else

314
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,320
that I'm aware of.

315
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,280
Thank you.

316
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:48,320
Just for transparency, to be very clear about that,

317
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,320
the directive was specific to fund $80.

318
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,160
Need personnel needs to be funded through fund 80.

319
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,520
So it wasn't a directive to not have any involvement

320
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,840
from the district with the pool.

321
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,840
We simply do not have a fund 80 employee.

322
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,120
So that is the personnel barrier.

323
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:19,120
Deanna, let the record reflect that Kristen came in at 7.24.

324
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:21,840
Are there any other questions for Mr. Leidman?

325
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,640
Danny?

326
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,560
Jake, are we able to ask how is

327
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,360
the construction going on the new elementary school?

328
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,080
Is there any updates we can give the community or board?

329
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Yeah, I mean, I could talk for hours, honestly.

330
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,360
I mean, just some keynotes.

331
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:40,680
Yeah, I mean, we're probably about 50% of the buildings

332
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,000
dried in, meaning the roof is on, water tight, if you will.

333
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,160
Still some exterior work that has to be done.

334
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,880
Well, the other 50% is going to be dried in in the next,

335
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,080
approximately three weeks here.

336
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,840
They're really pushing hard to get those structures completed.

337
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,640
That's kind of a big milestone in construction

338
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,320
is when you can say that you're dried in and the roof is sealed.

339
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,560
I'm trying to think of big milestones.

340
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,720
A lot of mechanical stuff is set in place

341
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,360
in the main mechanical room.

342
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,880
The secondary mechanical room that's

343
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,080
in the upper level of the academic area,

344
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,880
that's kind of still waiting to be dried in, right?

345
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,840
We don't want to put too much equipment in place there

346
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,720
other than the main air handlers,

347
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,560
because they still have to protect them until they're dried in.

348
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,920
So, mechanically, it's going well.

349
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,880
Excavation is going really good.

350
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,560
They got the driveway cut in out to fifth ab now.

351
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,480
They're really kind of starting to shape up

352
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,720
what the site will look like.

353
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,920
If you drive by, you can see where the driveways are

354
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,360
and the playground area is.

355
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:48,760
It's kind of starting to take shape

356
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,760
where people could notice that by driving through.

357
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,280
So, that's exciting, too.

358
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,120
I don't know how long do you want me to talk on it?

359
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:01,960
I mean, committee, we can really go more in depth, but.

360
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,600
Board members, I do want to bring everybody to the awareness

361
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,120
that if you would like to take a tour of the building,

362
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,600
you can do so by contacting Jake and setting that up

363
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,760
a date and time.

364
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,360
Give him a couple days notice so he can make sure

365
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:22,920
that safety is a big issue so you can let him know

366
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,600
and he can set something up for you to go into or that.

367
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,440
Okay.

368
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,320
How's the improvements at the high school coming along?

369
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Good, Nessie, it's pretty well tore apart right now.

370
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,560
They got most of the air handlers

371
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,320
set back in place in the mechanical rooms.

372
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,760
That was kind of the biggest first milestone

373
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,640
that we wanted to hit is get everything demoed

374
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,400
and then get the new unit set in place.

375
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,480
So, they still have a few smaller ones

376
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,360
that they're aligning and getting adjustments to.

377
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,960
But overall, they're well on their way,

378
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,080
getting them in place.

379
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,920
Fire alarm replacement, they're started.

380
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,040
A lot of the demo's done.

381
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,920
They're starting to reinstall now.

382
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,940
So, that's great.

383
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Exquerading outside, if anyone drives by there,

384
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,280
you can see that site's pretty well unrecognizable right now.

385
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,800
It's pretty tore up.

386
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,280
A lot of stuff getting done.

387
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,000
Krieger and Steinfest is doing a great job.

388
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,320
I think they got three crews on there right now,

389
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Shane said, and they're pushing hard.

390
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:32,320
So, we're a little too early to know for sure exactly

391
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,640
where we're gonna land for completion date.

392
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,440
Our target is August 17th to be completed

393
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,960
on that entire site with all the work.

394
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,640
I know that that's aggressive,

395
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,640
but that's kind of set by when we start getting staff

396
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,720
occupying the building again.

397
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,040
If we don't have enough time,

398
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,200
we don't get blessings by Mother Nature

399
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,360
to allow us to keep working on it.

400
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:02,480
We do have plans in place to make sure

401
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,080
that we prioritize the certain areas

402
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,880
to get that building reopened, no problem.

403
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,160
We won't have any issues like that

404
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,760
so we can see at this point.

405
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,840
What's going on though?

406
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,840
It's a very exciting lot of work that needed to be done.

407
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,280
About $9 million at the high school of work getting done

408
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,360
and the majority of that will be done this summer.

409
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:33,240
So, that's when you break it down by week,

410
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,000
it's close to $1 million a week, so it's exciting.

411
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,280
A lot of work in the short amount of time.

412
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,720
A lot of work that's been in our capital improvement plan

413
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,720
for years that we have not been able to touch.

414
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,160
So, it's a big milestone.

415
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Yeah, and if you kind of look back at where we were

416
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,520
pre-referring them discussions with budgeting

417
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,320
and everything, you know, that high school

418
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,120
wasn't even guaranteed to be done.

419
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,320
It was kind of the wish list if we got favorable pricing.

420
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,240
We would be able to flow into that what I call the 61

421
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,040
category, and then we would be able to do that

422
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,760
category that we talked about a lot, pre-referring them.

423
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,160
So, to be able to get those items done

424
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,400
with no more cost to the taxpayers is huge.

425
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,720
Mike, with the rest of the referendum work,

426
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,880
is it correct to state that the middle school work

427
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,360
is going to happen next year at a later date,

428
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,640
along with the central office construction.

429
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,880
I've been getting a lot of questions

430
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,760
and I guess I don't know the answer to that.

431
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,560
So, if you could share that out for the community,

432
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,880
that's going to happen.

433
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,560
So, both of those projects we did bid out,

434
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,400
I don't think that we got favorable pricing

435
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,880
for a number of reasons.

436
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,000
Sometimes we just didn't get a lot of interest

437
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,640
due to the backlog that other companies have had.

438
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,200
You know, we're not, you know, in a construction hub,

439
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,800
like, you know, the big cities are.

440
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,360
So, sometimes you just kind of fall into that weird situation

441
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:11,960
where you need a big contractor to do these jobs.

442
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,080
It's too big for our locals and, you know,

443
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,320
it's kind of not the low hanging fruit for them.

444
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,400
You know, if the market has a lot of work,

445
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,160
sometimes they pass on jobs that are perfect fit.

446
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,760
And I certainly understand that.

447
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,600
But at the same time, to be responsible with tax dollars,

448
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,800
Ms. Oginski and I looked at the numbers that came in

449
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,560
and just felt like it was not in line with our budget,

450
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,080
not realistic numbers, had the discussion

451
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,760
with blue design, got their take on it.

452
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,760
We think that we can make a few adjustments to scope

453
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,520
and allow more time for them to prepare,

454
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,280
give them another year.

455
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,080
Every time you move stuff down the road,

456
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,240
you do have some inflation cost,

457
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,240
which is always, you know, part of the equation

458
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,120
that you try to balance.

459
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:03,240
But the numbers that we got were just,

460
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,240
we felt very outside the budget and not a good spend.

461
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,720
So we're gonna, we're gonna re-bid those

462
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,600
and I expect those numbers to come in better

463
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,440
as far as exactly when that work will be complete.

464
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,680
You never know until you get the final bids.

465
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,320
Contractors will put, you know, completion dates

466
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,640
or timelines or things like that within their bid documents.

467
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,640
So you never know for sure,

468
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,680
but the target is for next summer, yes.

469
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,160
And obviously, you know, with the central office,

470
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,320
again, that's gonna be the last piece of the puzzle, right?

471
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,280
Like we talked about the whole time.

472
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,280
So more to come on that.

473
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:44,840
And this might be a combined question for you and Kelly,

474
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,200
but is there a deadline to use the funds

475
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,640
for the middle school and central office?

476
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,040
So do we have to get the work done

477
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,960
than a certain amount of time?

478
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,640
Or can we keep carrying that money over

479
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,600
until we get appropriate bids?

480
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,880
I would defer to Kelly.

481
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,120
There is deadlines, but I just wanted to be cognizant

482
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:07,560
of staying on the agenda.

483
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,400
I'm not sure if we are floating into topics

484
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,120
that are not necessarily on this agenda piece.

485
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:19,080
So I would defer to the board president on that

486
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,400
or Mrs. Oginski, but I don't want to start adding

487
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,160
into things that might not actually be on the agenda.

488
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,840
Kelly, I just motioned to Danny to put that on here's agenda

489
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,720
for the committee meeting coming up in a couple of weeks.

490
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,280
That's something that you can bring light

491
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,720
to where those are with the referendum dollars.

492
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,920
All right, any other questions for Jake?

493
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,480
I just have one last comment for Danny.

494
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,320
I just wanna make sure that the community

495
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,600
understands the appreciation that I have

496
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,840
and I think all the contractors have

497
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,120
for dealing with some of the inconveniences

498
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:05,200
we kind of take for granted how important our schools are

499
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,360
to our community and kind of taking that piece

500
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,640
out of the puzzle for even a three month window.

501
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,760
I'm sure ends in hardships that we don't even recognize.

502
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960
Certainly there are some that we have recognized

503
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
that I've heard of and I apologize for any inconveniences,

504
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,800
but really just thank the community

505
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,160
for their support not only in passing their referendum,

506
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,640
but also their tolerance while this project gets completed.

507
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,840
And once we get this work done,

508
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,840
it's gonna be a huge asset to the community students staff

509
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,000
for hopefully another 30 some years

510
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,560
before we have to look at this type of remodeling again.

511
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,600
So thank you to the community for their initial support

512
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,640
and I'm going support.

513
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,360
Thank you, Jake.

514
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,080
Okay, Mrs. Oginski, we'll move on to the next.

515
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,960
Okay, Item D, Director of Technology Report is posted

516
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,720
and Mrs. Mushak is available if anyone has questions.

517
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,000
Okay, Item E, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Report.

518
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Mrs. Stutzreem is available by remote and her report

519
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,440
is attached if anyone has questions.

520
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,480
Okay, Item F, Superintendent Report.

521
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:29,880
Just a quick overview.

522
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,040
We had our end-of-the-year celebration

523
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,800
and retiree recognition where we had lots of great things

524
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,200
to celebrate for the accomplishments of the year.

525
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,600
We did this as an entire district the day

526
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,640
that the students were present half a day.

527
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,840
The remainder of that day was to celebrate with staff

528
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,960
and our retirees at the volunteer.

529
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,320
We also had a meeting with Sue

530
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,040
to review the bids submitted for FFNE

531
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,600
which is furniture fixtures any for John H. Bradley,

532
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,440
elementary degree and we awarded that bid to EBI

533
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,720
and we've notified them and we're scheduling meetings

534
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,680
to work out the draw schedules and whatnot with them.

535
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,960
Continued staffing meetings with Ms. Fosbinner,

536
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,600
Ms. Stutzreem and Ms. Wagner to determine placements

537
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,520
and openings.

538
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,720
This also includes meeting with Jade to update we can

539
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,520
and follow up with the interview process

540
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,400
during the vacancy in our HR position

541
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,560
and to check in on accepted and declined offers.

542
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,360
It's always typically a daily occurrence.

543
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,360
I think Danny Nicholson can also speak to that

544
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,600
and many days it's multiple times a day

545
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,640
of checking in to see where we are in the process.

546
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,160
Budget and draw schedule meetings with Ms. Fosbinner,

547
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,960
Ms. Moshek and Mr. Leiderman regarding budgets

548
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,080
for referendum work at John H. Bradley

549
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,680
and the high school to make sure

550
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,480
that everything is in alignment

551
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,360
with pay schedules for work completed.

552
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,520
I've submitted our annual calendar report

553
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,800
and we've had a meeting with Mr. Jokes

554
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,280
to determine who the coach for leader and me will be

555
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,120
for Annago and it's very exciting

556
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,880
because we're actually getting a coach

557
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,640
who has done some work in our district before

558
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,120
with through other consulting firms.

559
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,800
So we're very excited to welcome her back

560
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,440
to our staff and our students.

561
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,280
And it's great to have someone that has some familiarity

562
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,040
with our community and our district.

563
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,360
And that's the end of my report.

564
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,320
Any questions?

565
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,080
Okay.

566
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,400
Mr. Krip.

567
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,080
Mr. Jinske, I wanna go back to the curriculum

568
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,240
and instruction because as we were moving on,

569
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,640
Randy was coming up to the microphone to ask a question

570
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,280
and I wanna let him be able to ask his question, Amy.

571
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,240
Just the overall growth,

572
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,480
they talked about the improvement in the scores

573
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,480
for the ACTs and there was certainly dramatic improvements

574
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,280
for between 24 and 25 and 25 and 26.

575
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,400
But going back a few more years to let us know

576
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,400
if that's a trend or just whether 24, 25 was an off year

577
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,320
would be informational that we could follow trends

578
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,260
rather than just a one day period for future reports.

579
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,120
Yes, I can bring future or the past like five, six years

580
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,840
worth of ACT scores.

581
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,880
And I can bring that to the next committee.

582
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,280
But one thing I do wanna highlight

583
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,680
and on behalf of the high school staff and students,

584
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,680
these are their scores.

585
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,360
I'm just the messenger to the board tonight

586
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,040
regarding that and the celebration around that is

587
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,840
there's one part to look at the composite score

588
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600
and there's another part to look at the students,

589
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,400
the percentage of students who met proficiency.

590
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,000
So when you're looking through,

591
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,160
there's kind of two avenues that we look at our ACT

592
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,400
and create ACT scores around.

593
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,640
So we do know that we need to keep gaining

594
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,360
on our composites or we did go up this year,

595
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,560
but last year I believe we did go down

596
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,360
and I can get that data for you.

597
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,120
But this year we saw an incredible amount of growth

598
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,040
of kids who went over that proficient line

599
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,960
for each of those different subgroups

600
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,960
like English, math, reading, science, et cetera.

601
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,560
So there's two points when we kind of go

602
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,240
through our ACT training.

603
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,800
We really are wanting our students

604
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,280
to be over that proficiency line

605
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,800
and have more students becoming percentage

606
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,880
or having more students over that proficiency line

607
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,200
with percentages and also we want to look

608
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,440
at that composite score.

609
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,040
So I can grab that data for you for next time,

610
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,240
some historical around the ACT.

611
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,240
But this year I will say we had more growth of percentage

612
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,600
over that line of proficiency,

613
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,680
which means our kids are moving in the right direction,

614
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,280
especially our kids meeting three or four benchmarks.

615
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,760
I think sometimes we focus a lot

616
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,600
on the students who need interventions.

617
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,880
The students who might need some extra support,

618
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,600
but this is showing that our students

619
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,680
who are proficient and maybe advanced

620
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,280
are meeting three or four of those benchmarks.

621
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,240
And that's a huge jump that we haven't seen

622
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,240
in the past with our data.

623
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,640
Thank you.

624
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:13,560
You're welcome.

625
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,480
Jill, you'll add that to your agenda

626
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,200
for your committee meeting.

627
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,040
Come right up.

628
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:18,880
Thank you.

629
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,160
All right, moving on to item number four

630
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,280
and Kristen, what we have done,

631
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,240
we amended, like made the motion to amend the agenda

632
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:34,720
to bring item four G up to the top.

633
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:37,840
Actually, we were bringing that up to the very top

634
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,400
before consent agenda,

635
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,960
but we wanted you to be part of the discussion.

636
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,760
And so the board decided to put that as number one

637
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,240
for board action.

638
00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:49,960
All right, so item number four,

639
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,440
letter G discussion and possible action

640
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,800
on current pool finances

641
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,560
and continued operation.

642
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,760
Searching, looking for a motion, please.

643
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,760
Mr. Chair, I move to rescind the motion made on March 18th

644
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,160
that said only fund 80 would be used for the operation

645
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,080
and maintenance of the aquatic center.

646
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,360
Okay.

647
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,880
I don't mean to interrupt Danny,

648
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,040
but since we've moved this, I've got to get Davis on.

649
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,520
If you all can just pause for just one quick second, please.

650
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:25,480
Okay.

651
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,400
We will take a five minute recess.

652
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,800
All right, we will come back to order 743

653
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,800
and I will ask Jean to state her motion one more time.

654
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:41,920
Okay.

655
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,920
I move to rescind the motion adopted March 18th, 2026

656
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,880
that only fund 80 be used for the operation

657
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
and maintenance of the aquatic center.

658
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,800
Okay, so the motion on the floors to rescind,

659
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,840
they vote from March 18.

660
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,720
So we need to, and Jean,

661
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:07,520
would you like to speak to your motion?

662
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,200
Yeah, so on March 18th,

663
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,160
the board was really put in an awkward position.

664
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,280
The information was sort of sprung on them that night

665
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,780
and I think that they felt really like they were in a corner.

666
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,200
And didn't have any choice in the matter.

667
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,400
So I think we do have a choice.

668
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,400
I think we have a long record of clean audits,

669
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,120
20 to whatever, 20 plus years of clean audits.

670
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,800
We've never gotten any kind of a notice or letter from DPI

671
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,800
telling us to stop spending fun $10 on the aquatic center.

672
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:00,800
I just don't see the evidence of having to make this sudden change

673
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,800
and what we've been doing for so long.

674
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,800
And so I wanted to bring the opportunity back to the board

675
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,800
that we've all had time to sort of these things

676
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,800
and ramifications sink in.

677
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,800
I think we have plenty of wiggle room.

678
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,800
I think we can work with DPI.

679
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,800
I think we can move forward and find a solution that works.

680
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,800
For this school on the community.

681
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,800
Okay, Davis, would you opine on this, please?

682
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,800
So fun 10 can be used for the operations of the pool.

683
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:49,800
So long as the operations are not part of the community program.

684
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,800
So you can, as was explained back in March, you can use fun 10

685
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,800
for things related to the education of your students,

686
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,800
such as renting out the facility from your fund 80.

687
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:14,800
You cannot use fun 10 to carry out a community program

688
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,800
or service, which would be a fund 80 expenditure.

689
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,800
If you do that, you will receive a dollar for dollar reduction

690
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,800
in your budget.

691
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,800
It is an ineligible expense.

692
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,800
So if you do this, you are setting yourself up

693
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,800
for serious financial consequences.

694
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,800
And also knowingly doing so.

695
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,800
The reason this wasn't brought to the board's attention earlier

696
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,800
is because my understanding is the board wasn't aware

697
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,800
that it was going up.

698
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,800
We have discussions in March regarding whether Danny,

699
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,800
as the board president, had been aware of who he had appointed,

700
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,800
if anybody to the quote unquote aquatic center board,

701
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,800
and I recall him telling me he did not know of anybody.

702
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,800
We generally didn't know that the aquatic center board operated.

703
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,800
And when I say we, I mean myself and the board members,

704
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,800
I know that administration was at some of the meetings,

705
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,800
but with, again, my understanding is administration was,

706
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,800
was new to the district was trying to understand all of the

707
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,800
ongoings and this issue of.

708
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:12,800
The fact that it didn't come up I believe until October 25.

709
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,800
When discussions started regard critical maintenance

710
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,800
and how funds could be utilized to pay for the critical maintenance.

711
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,800
That's when the discussions started to shift to how has this

712
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,800
been done in the past.

713
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,800
And can it continue?

714
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,800
And the answer was legally no, it cannot continue that way.

715
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,800
So I understand that there may be clean audits.

716
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,800
I have not seen those records.

717
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,800
I haven't seen what was submitted to DPI.

718
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,800
I haven't seen logs.

719
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,800
The motion back in March was.

720
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,800
To only use funds appropriately.

721
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,800
I don't understand why there would be an objection.

722
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,800
To that motion.

723
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,800
If fun 10 were to be used to.

724
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,800
Fund the community program or service.

725
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:31,800
That would be.

726
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,800
Highly ill advised.

727
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,800
So can we do something which we know is potentially illegal?

728
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,800
I mean, is that a possibility?

729
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,800
I don't, I don't understand.

730
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,800
What we're being asked to vote on.

731
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,800
Brandi, is that a question for me or Jean?

732
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:09,800
Either.

733
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:10,800
Or both.

734
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,800
I can talk.

735
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:20,800
So Davis, I mean, I hear what you're saying and I'm not surprised

736
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,800
you're saying it because this is very much what you said in March.

737
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:37,800
Your last line there made it sound like I wanted to spend fun 10 on community services.

738
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:39,800
And I don't.

739
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,800
The aquatic center is used for the community and for the school.

740
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,800
So I want to use that mix of fun 10 and fund 80.

741
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,800
Just as we've done in the past.

742
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:54,800
And as.

743
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,800
My understanding schools across the state do with their community.

744
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:02,800
Facilities.

745
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,800
I mean, I think that there is far more wiggle room.

746
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,800
Than what you are presenting.

747
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:22,800
I haven't found any wiggle room on DPI's website to say that there's any flexibility of using fun 10.

748
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:24,800
I know that you like to do research.

749
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,800
Did you find something that states otherwise.

750
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,800
I did not look on the website because.

751
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,800
I keep thinking if there was.

752
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,800
If there was a letter.

753
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,800
From DPI telling us.

754
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,800
To stop using fun 10.

755
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,800
For funding the aquatic center.

756
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,800
Then we would have evidence.

757
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:53,800
I don't see the evidence.

758
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,800
I hear Davis's opinion.

759
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:58,800
I value his opinion.

760
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:00,800
But I simply don't.

761
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:02,800
I don't see the evidence.

762
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,800
That we have to only use fun to 80 for the aquatic center.

763
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,800
So again, Jean, you can use fun 10 for eligible expenses such as renting.

764
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,800
The space.

765
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:20,800
For your students use.

766
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,800
Which has been happening.

767
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,800
You cannot use fun 10.

768
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,800
To pay for things like.

769
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:32,800
The YMCA.

770
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,800
Or.

771
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,800
For.

772
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:40,800
Staff.

773
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:42,800
You supervise.

774
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:44,800
The community swim times.

775
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,800
Those would be ineligible expenses.

776
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,800
All right, though.

777
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,800
So that nips that you're talking about is a curve.

778
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,800
But and as district administration.

779
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,800
Just went through with its auditor.

780
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,800
So another third party who has.

781
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,800
No interest in that.

782
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,800
Has determined that the expenses spent this year.

783
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,800
As properly coded.

784
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,800
Resulted in.

785
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,800
A deficit.

786
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:28,800
A deficit.

787
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,800
And so that properly coded Davis, who's determining that.

788
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,800
The auditor who.

789
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,800
The auditor with information provided to them by whom.

790
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:50,800
The district's records.

791
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,800
I would like to just chime in here.

792
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,800
So with that exchange right there.

793
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,800
So with the district records.

794
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:10,800
So if we are records were in able to produce accurate financials last year.

795
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,800
How can we say that our financials.

796
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,800
And our inputs on the accounting side are accurate.

797
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:27,800
I think a further question would be.

798
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,800
Has the record keeping accurately been maintained since the inception of the pool.

799
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,800
More specifically operational.

800
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,800
Items for pool use.

801
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,800
Looking at that longevity.

802
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,800
And I do not know.

803
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,800
So Danny, I'm going to give you an example.

804
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,800
In the past.

805
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,800
There was not staff coded to fund 80.

806
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,800
That were maintaining.

807
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,800
The pool.

808
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,800
Maintenance. They were providing maintenance.

809
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,800
To the pool and their salary was not coded to fund 80.

810
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:26,800
That is an example of it being coded to fund 10 when it needed to be coded to fund 80.

811
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,800
So when you see that there wasn't as much of a deficit in the past.

812
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,800
Since the inception of the pool.

813
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,800
It's because those types of expenses were not being coded to fund 80.

814
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:46,800
They're being coded to fund 10 so that there wouldn't be a deficit or less of a deficit.

815
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:59,800
So have we gone farther back than the last year to see how much in proper coding has taken place in house.

816
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,800
I wasn't in the district.

817
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,800
Since the inception of the pool.

818
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,800
Or in a financial role.

819
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,800
In which I would be able to know those answers.

820
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,800
So right now what we are doing is working with DPI.

821
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:28,800
We are working with our auditors and we are working with legal counsel to ensure that all the expenditures that the pool.

822
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,800
Encounters are coded correctly to fund 80.

823
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:43,800
So now I believe you did state that you have been in the district for a little over two years.

824
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:50,800
So and I believe back in one of March or April Davis did reference you as the liaison between the pool and the school.

825
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:58,800
So if we had by monthly meetings at the school board or the pool board and you were the liaison.

826
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,800
Wouldn't we have known something had been going on for the last two years.

827
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:09,800
How are we how can we say that are counting and everything what you just said you are not in the district.

828
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,800
But you have been in the district for the last two years.

829
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:19,800
And you were the liaison as outlined by Davis in the previous meetings.

830
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:26,800
My role with the aquatic center was to let them know where their budgets stood.

831
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:32,800
So the very first year in which I was here the budget was already created.

832
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,800
The processes were already happening with how things were being coded.

833
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:46,800
I think so Kelly not to interrupt but what really opened our eyes to this was when we asked DPI if we could use 46 for them.

834
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:53,800
For the maintenance correct for a capital improvement. That's when that's when this all came to light.

835
00:49:53,800 --> 00:50:02,800
Yes. And the pool the aquatic center board has been reported since I've come to the district that they've been operating in a deficit.

836
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:11,800
And so those things have been reported to the board. It's just now that we are identifying all of the expenditures that haven't been coded.

837
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:22,800
The deficit is much larger and the funds have been used as a much quicker rate.

838
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,800
So have we been operating fund 80 in a deficit.

839
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,800
For years and it's just now being brought to our attention.

840
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,800
Is that what I'm getting from that statement? I thought we couldn't let fund 80 go to negative.

841
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,800
But if it's been operating at a deficit for years, how has that not been caught?

842
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:50,800
So fund 80 operated deficit in his first year back in 2004.

843
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,800
Fire call correctly.

844
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,800
And then the levy was instituted.

845
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,800
And then that levy continued to increase to cover the deficit.

846
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:06,800
I think it steadily increased for like five to six years.

847
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,800
And then.

848
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,800
I'm not sure.

849
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:17,800
There certainly at times were.

850
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:23,800
Somebody set aside within fund 80 because at least at the beginning of this year.

851
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:29,800
There was a fund balance of a hundred and fifty thousand. Is that correct, Kelly?

852
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,800
Yes.

853
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,800
So we knew going to, I guess.

854
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,800
Deductive reasoning says if you had a hundred and fifty thousand dollar fund balance,

855
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:47,800
you weren't at a deficit at the beginning year, but now you are.

856
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:53,800
Sure. So on the report that I am looking at, so did we, you said a hundred and fifty, but the fund balance.

857
00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:01,800
Starting was a hundred and twenty three thousand seven hundred and sixty four dollars and twenty eight cents.

858
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,800
There's some inaccuracies on that.

859
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:10,800
Yeah, I do have, I mean, there are some questions I have about that because the last year doesn't.

860
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:16,800
When you take the starting fund balance for the twenty four twenty five and then you add the total.

861
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:22,800
Revenues and other financial sources that does come out when you subtract the expenses.

862
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:29,800
What that year was, but then last year going into this year, there are discrepancies back and forth on that.

863
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:36,800
So I don't, I sitting here looking at this, I don't understand how with discrepancies like that.

864
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:44,800
We can't have some sort of temporary resolution where we meet with the foundation on a monthly basis.

865
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:52,800
We provide budgets to them. They provide budgets to us. We meet in the middle and we can ask for funds along the way.

866
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,800
Is that an option?

867
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:07,800
Because I think, I think if we're going to ask the foundation for large sums of money, we have to be able to provide.

868
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:14,800
Good accurate budgets or be willing to have conversations on the inaccuracies of our budget.

869
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:24,800
So I'm just going to stop there. There aren't inaccuracies on the budget, but when you have a budget right now your fiscal year doesn't end until.

870
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:34,800
June 30th, that means all of your utilities that are operating your pool for this is just one example goes through June 30th.

871
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:42,800
You aren't going to get that bill until July. That means this budget is always living and breathing until.

872
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:52,800
July or August when you're getting all of your final bills, all of your final expenditures, all of your final revenues, and those are.

873
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,800
Done and you close out the books.

874
00:53:55,800 --> 00:54:13,800
So right now, as the budget stands as it is, that's why there are different numbers each time you ask, and that is very typical of a budget throughout the year is always living and breathing until the books get closed out and they get finalized through your audit.

875
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:25,800
So right now you're operating at a deficit, and even if you get all of your revenues, you will still be operating at a deficit.

876
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,800
And the pool since I've been here has been operating at a deficit.

877
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:39,800
Now you did have a fund balance that for lack of a better example is much like a savings account,

878
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:46,800
but your operational expenses with how much revenue and how much expenditures you have each year is operating at a deficit.

879
00:54:46,800 --> 00:55:01,800
Now, that is why it still was able to stay open according to DPI because you did have a fund balance that fund balance is now depleted because all of the accurate expenditures are being allocated to the correct funds.

880
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:13,800
So, Kelly, this is Jean. I just have a question about clarification because you're using the word budget in a way that is unfamiliar to me.

881
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:24,800
To me, a budget is something that gets set at the beginning of the year and it's in stone and it does not change month to month to month, day to day, whatever your expenditures may.

882
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:32,800
But to me, that's what a budget is, and now you're using the word budget as if it's a moving, flowing thing.

883
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,800
A budget is set by the board and can only be amended by the board.

884
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:41,800
Am I misunderstanding the word budget?

885
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,800
I don't think you are, Jean. That's how I also interpret it.

886
00:55:54,800 --> 00:56:00,800
Okay, so I can't predict what 12 months of electric bills are going to be for the pool.

887
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:14,800
So what you do when you set a budget number is you look at the history of what your electric bills have been and you apply an increase because generally your electric bills increase.

888
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:26,800
And so your budget number is your best estimate of what you believe that based on all of the facts that you have, what your electric bills are going to be much like your home.

889
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:41,800
You don't know exactly what your electric bills are going to be or your heat could be a colder winter could be a warmer winter you're setting your cell your budget up based on what the facts are that you have at the time.

890
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:54,800
So when you set your budget numbers that's what those are as your expenditures and your invoices and your bills come in much like there might be a tile that breaks randomly because of somebody dropped something or something like that.

891
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:05,800
That has to be fixed. You're not going to be able to predict that that's going to happen when you set your budget in October that you might have a tile break in March.

892
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:14,800
So those are the types of examples that happen when you set a budget and then you have your actual invoices come in and your actual revenues come in.

893
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:23,800
You can't predict if 12 or 15 people are going to buy an annual membership or they're going to buy a monthly or maybe they're not going to buy any at all.

894
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,800
So those aren't things that you can predict.

895
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:35,800
You have to set your budget on what all the facts that you absolutely have and then it's your best estimate going from there.

896
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,800
Yep, I agree with all of that.

897
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:45,800
I'm just concerned now that this that the columns in the budget sheet which is a different agenda item that this pay budget at the top.

898
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:55,800
Now I don't know if they really mean budget or if they mean you know expenditures or adjusted or something else.

899
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:07,800
So that's a great question gene. If you look at the handout that I gave you all last meeting, you'll see at the top fiscal year to date activity.

900
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,800
So look at the 2526 fiscal year to date activity.

901
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:16,800
That isn't the budget of what we set where we thought the best estimate was.

902
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:24,800
That's what your actual numbers are to that date, which that date was on June 15.

903
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:37,800
If I was to have a column with the word budget on it, then you would see what we believe the best numbers were going to be as compared to the fiscal year to date activity.

904
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:48,800
But we just put the actual bill so that you would have an actual sense of what the budget or what the actual numbers are in the budget as of that date.

905
00:58:48,800 --> 00:59:01,800
While I believe all this information is pertinent to us to make a decision, I don't believe it's directly related to the motion on the floor.

906
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:11,800
And if we're going to look at that, I think yes, it's important to note we did have clean audits all along.

907
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:20,800
But I don't know now that we have been in contact with DPI and we're waving our flags and saying, hey, we're doing this wrong.

908
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,800
Audits might come out a little bit differently.

909
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:31,800
When you say to the police officer, hey, I was speeding back there, they might look at your car a little bit differently next time.

910
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,800
And as far as I'm aware, the laws have not changed.

911
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:42,800
We can still, the initial motion did not say we couldn't use Fund 10 at all.

912
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,800
It just needed to be used legally.

913
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:55,800
So I'm not sure while all this information is relevant to us making an end decision, I don't know that it's pertinent to the motion on the floor.

914
00:59:55,800 --> 01:00:04,800
The motion that was adopted March 18th said that only Fund 80 would be used for the operation and maintenance of the Aquatic Center.

915
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:12,800
The motion on March 18th says to approve funding at the direction of legal counsel, only Fund 80 would be used for operation and maintenance of the Aquatic Center.

916
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,800
And all other funds be utilized in a matter consistent with the law.

917
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:24,800
Direct administration to work with legal counsel to develop a plan of action for the continued operation and maintenance of the Aquatic Center.

918
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,800
That's the motion that was there.

919
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:43,800
So I agree with what Kristen has brought out that it does direct us to use Fund 80 for the Aquatic Center, but it does not limit Fund 10 to be used as long as Fund 10 is being used in consistent with the law.

920
01:00:43,800 --> 01:01:05,800
So for my standpoint, I will vote no on this recension because the motion in March 18th gives the administration and the board the latitude to spend Fund 10 money as consistent with the law.

921
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:14,800
Any other discussion of the motion on the floor, which is to rescind the motion from May the 18th.

922
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,800
March March.

923
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,800
I'm sorry. Thank you. March the 18th.

924
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,800
All right. Hearing no other discussion.

925
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:29,800
Nate, are we ready for a vote?

926
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:30,800
Okay.

927
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,800
Can you just clarify what a yes vote means and no vote.

928
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,800
A yes vote means that you want to rescind the motion from March the 18th.

929
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:43,800
A no vote means that you do not want to rescind the motion from March the 18th.

930
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:48,800
Is everybody ready?

931
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,800
The voting device is now open.

932
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:09,800
Okay, would anyone like to change their vote?

933
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,800
The vote is now closed.

934
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:18,800
We have three yes and five no's that motion fails.

935
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,800
I'm sorry.

936
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,800
We'll go back to our agenda.

937
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:50,800
Okay, discussion and possible action on current pool finances and continue to operations.

938
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,800
I will be looking for a motion.

939
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:11,800
I'll make the motion that we move to adopt the resolution on continued operations of the Clara R. McKenna Aquatic Center as presented.

940
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:21,800
And to speak to that motion is all of you have received the handout from Davis that was prepared.

941
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:29,800
It gives the opportunity for the aquatic center to remain open.

942
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:38,800
And what I'd like to do is ask our board clerk to read the resolution on the continued operations of the Clara R McKenna Aquatic Center.

943
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,800
Mike, do you have that in front of you?

944
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,800
We have 34 pages here, so I'm looking for.

945
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:51,800
Things on page 32, but it might be it may have the May or the June 15 date.

946
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,800
And I have one here for the 22nd date.

947
01:03:55,800 --> 01:04:13,800
Here's the one with the correct date.

948
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,800
Our board clerk is preparing to read the resolution.

949
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,800
I do want the record to reflect that it's 754.

950
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:26,800
Deanna, let the record reflect that Angie joined us in person.

951
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,800
I took record of it.

952
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,800
Thank you.

953
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,800
Danny, I just would like to let you know.

954
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,800
Randy, do you have that attachment?

955
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,800
Yes.

956
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:43,800
Okay.

957
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:50,800
Resolution continued operation of Clara McKenna Aquatic Center.

958
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,800
Somebody's going to read it and I'm going to follow it.

959
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:58,800
Melissa does not have that.

960
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:19,800
Resolution on continued operations of the Clara R McKenna Aquatic Center.

961
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:28,800
Mike, can you hold just one second, please?

962
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:46,800
Thank you, Mike.

963
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:53,800
Whereas the district operates the Clara R McKenna Aquatic Center, the pool as a community program under fund 80.

964
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:59,800
Whereas the pool has at least for the 2526 school year operated at a deficit.

965
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:09,800
And whereas the pool board desires to advise the administration and community of its decision with respect to the continued operations of the pool.

966
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:15,800
Now therefore be it resolved by the school board of the district as follows.

967
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,800
For the pool to remain open under the school board approved community program fund 80.

968
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:26,800
The following directives are issued to administration and the following must occur.

969
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,800
Administration is directed to execute the info.

970
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:31,800
Mike, can you pause just for a minute?

971
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,800
It's really important to read the number one in the letter A, so we keep those together.

972
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,800
Thank you.

973
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:49,800
One a administration is directed to execute the enclosed contract with the what's in YMCA outsourcing the pools general operations to the Woodstone YMCA.

974
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:58,800
And one B the district must receive revenue by way of donations or other revenue streams in the amount of $75,000.

975
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,800
By June 30th, 2026.

976
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:07,800
So fund 80 does not operate at a deficit for the 2526 school year.

977
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:17,800
And one C the district must receive revenue by the way of donations or other revenue streams in the amount of $250,000.

978
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,800
By July 1st, 2026.

979
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:27,800
So fund 80 may continue to operate in a cash flow positive manner in the 2627 school year.

980
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:37,800
And one D the district shall further consider imposing a previously imposed $300,000 tax levy.

981
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:48,800
Number two, if items one B through one C do not occur on or before the dates indicated.

982
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:54,800
The pool shall cease further operations until further notice.

983
01:07:54,800 --> 01:08:05,800
An administration shall notify the Woodstone YMCA that the pools operational fund is depleted and the contract terminated.

984
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:18,800
Three, the district will receive and consider any and all offers to purchase the pool by a nonprofit and for profit entities alike.

985
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:26,800
Adopted and approved this 22nd day of June 2026.

986
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,800
Thank you Mike for reading all of that.

987
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:38,800
So the motion on the floor is to approve that document of the resolution on continued operations of the Clara R.

988
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:40,800
McKenna Aquatic Center.

989
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,800
We'll direct all of our discussion toward that motion.

990
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,800
I move to amend the motion.

991
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:46,800
Okay.

992
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,800
Will the member please state the amendment.

993
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,800
Removing number three.

994
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:58,800
The district will receive and consider any and all offers to purchase the pool by nonprofit and for profit entities alike.

995
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:07,800
Okay. We have an amendment on the floor in the resolution to strike number three.

996
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:16,800
The district will receive and consider any and all offers to purchase the pool by nonprofit and for profit entities alike.

997
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,800
Jean, would you like to speak to your amendment?

998
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:20,800
No. Thank you.

999
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,800
Okay. We need to direct all of our attention to the amendment that's on the floor.

1000
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:30,800
And that is just to strike line number three in the resolution.

1001
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,800
Are there any questions or discussion of the amendment?

1002
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:35,800
Randy?

1003
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:36,800
No.

1004
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,800
Kristen.

1005
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:47,800
First of all, it just says that we would receive and consider offers not accept any offer.

1006
01:09:48,800 --> 01:10:00,800
All along when we've discussed the pool, we've talked about how great it is for our community and for increasing economic development, increasing employee pools.

1007
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:05,800
And to me, this is really a community issue more than it is a school issue.

1008
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:10,800
So I would like to give the opportunity to the county or the city to step in.

1009
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,800
And if they were to purchase the pool, I think that's something that we need to seriously consider.

1010
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,800
As it is more, like I said, a community issue versus a school issue.

1011
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:27,800
And I would like to know if they are willing to put some skin in the game and maybe help out with this situation.

1012
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,800
So I think that that's something that we should keep on the floor.

1013
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,800
And for that reason, I don't think we should take the amendment.

1014
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,800
I'd like to further speak.

1015
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:40,800
I disagree with that comment.

1016
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,800
The county and city have not supported the board.

1017
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:50,800
I think it's highly unlikely either of them are going to step forward and purchase this building.

1018
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:55,800
I think that's almost an impossibility.

1019
01:10:55,800 --> 01:11:01,800
Any other questions or discussion of the amendment that's on the floor?

1020
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:10,800
I also do not support the amendment simply because it imposes limitations on us.

1021
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,800
I know it's been brought up several times with the YMCA purchase the pool.

1022
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:20,800
I do believe the YMCA shared in a task force meeting a while back that pools are subsidized.

1023
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,800
So they have no interest because we simply have a pool.

1024
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:27,800
We don't have other activities or programming that goes along with it.

1025
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:35,800
But the YMCA has maintained a great working relationship and continues to operate our pool.

1026
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:42,800
Perhaps that's something that they may want to consider and they have first-hand knowledge and experience of operating our pool.

1027
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,800
So that would take that potential out.

1028
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:53,800
I also agree with Kristen in the sense that the city and the county have been on the task force.

1029
01:11:53,800 --> 01:12:00,800
This discussion has never centered on the importance of academic achievement in student outcomes.

1030
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,800
It has focused on the importance of the community in this board.

1031
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:11,800
Regardless of current members or previous members have all stated the importance of the pool for our community.

1032
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:21,800
Therefore to continue that discussion and even the discussion further but in terms of skin in the game

1033
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:40,800
to offer and maintain a sort of amenity to our community that amenity ideally has a collaborative combined effort from taxpayers.

1034
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,800
So at the end of the day it's taxpayer monies.

1035
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:50,800
Let's all have skin in the game to promote and maintain a community gem that we have in place.

1036
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:55,800
So I'm not in favor of the amendment because I don't want to set up limitations for ourselves.

1037
01:12:55,800 --> 01:13:01,800
Also the foundation has shared a lot and they have a lot of knowledge.

1038
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:08,800
Quite honestly I think the foundation or members of would be excellent at running the Aquatic Center.

1039
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:13,800
That would also remove that potential should there be interest there.

1040
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,800
Okay.

1041
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,800
Any other questions Angie?

1042
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:25,800
I just want to say that the private entity or nonprofit were to purchase this.

1043
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:38,800
They would be able to operate it like a true business and not have to deal with all the red tape being tied to the school district.

1044
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:48,800
So I would quote that we against this because I don't want to keep our as many possibilities open as we can to keep this open.

1045
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:53,800
So I think right now I don't see people lining up.

1046
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,800
But in the case that somebody does come forward or a group does come forward.

1047
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:02,800
I think it would be nice just to have it in there just for that reason.

1048
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,800
I'll hold you Danny because I saw Melissa go into her mic.

1049
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,800
I just have a clarifying question.

1050
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:12,800
If number three is removed and we don't entertain offers at the moment,

1051
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,800
that's something that we can take action on in the future, correct?

1052
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:17,800
Potentially yes.

1053
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:18,800
Okay.

1054
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:19,800
Thank you.

1055
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,800
Danny?

1056
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:25,800
I don't think we need number three there.

1057
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:41,800
I think that there are really reputable people in this community who have come forward and put forth that there are funds there that they are willing to provide the district as long as we are open and willing to collaborate with them in a sense of having conversations about the

1058
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:43,800
budget and what we need.

1059
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:50,800
So I don't think there's a need for number three if we just start coming together and work with this foundation and people in the community.

1060
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,800
What if the foundation wants to purchase it though?

1061
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:59,800
Like, I mean, they've laid out expectations.

1062
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,800
I think they would have let us know.

1063
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:09,800
But in what business plan does it make sense that you are going to put forth all of the money?

1064
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:17,800
We are going to pay for this business and we also want to know all the decisions and be part of all the decision making, but also we don't want to own it.

1065
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,800
Does that not raise a red flag to anyone else?

1066
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,800
We're going to give you all the money.

1067
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:28,800
We want to know all your decisions and be part of all your decisions, but we don't want to own it.

1068
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:33,800
To me, that would mean that there's something wrong with the business.

1069
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:41,800
I mean, the foundation is willing to fund it now and Mr. Cost has been more than helpful.

1070
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,800
But what if that changes tomorrow?

1071
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,800
What if that changes in a year?

1072
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:48,800
Now we're back in the same place that we are right now.

1073
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:55,800
Or what if those donors who are giving money to the foundation, stop giving to the money to the foundation and now the foundation doesn't have the money to give to us.

1074
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,800
Then we're in the same spot that we're in now.

1075
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,800
Things can change very quickly.

1076
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:07,800
And I just think we need to have the option out there for someone to run it as their business.

1077
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,800
Because when it's your business, you aren't going to let it fail.

1078
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:29,800
I do agree with you, Kristen, and for some of what you're saying, but I also think with us being a public school and that being part of our community and our public school, I think we have an obligation to not let this fail as well.

1079
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:35,800
I agree completely.

1080
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:39,800
None of us want the pool to close.

1081
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:40,800
I agree completely.

1082
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,800
That's why we're here trying to come up with a solution.

1083
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:52,800
But if the best solution is for someone else to run it and run it well, we have to have that solution on the table as well, or option on the table.

1084
01:16:53,800 --> 01:17:05,800
Are there any other questions or discussion of the amendment that's on the floor of removing item number three from the resolution?

1085
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,800
I'm not going to vote in favor of it.

1086
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:16,800
I just want to stay really, really clear and consistent because I just don't feel it's believed in any capacity.

1087
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,800
I, as just one board member, I'll just speak for myself right now.

1088
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,800
I have no interest in closing down our pool.

1089
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:22,800
None.

1090
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:23,800
At all.

1091
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,800
I have no interest in acting unlawfully.

1092
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,800
I will not.

1093
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:43,800
I have every belief that we can figure out a solution, and I also feel that leaving this in there allows for flexibility because the language simply says we'll receive and consider.

1094
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,800
It does not say we'll accept.

1095
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:52,800
So it provides the opportunity we are on a time crunch right now with timelines within this resolution.

1096
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:58,800
Last week, Monday, this was on the agenda, but we couldn't get to it.

1097
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:07,800
So in the event that there is a time constraint, I just don't want to limit ourselves to potentials.

1098
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,800
It's not an acceptance of an offer.

1099
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,800
It's simply allowing that to be available.

1100
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:21,800
For those reasons and previously shared feedback and that in favor, I want the pool to stay open, nonetheless.

1101
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,800
Danny?

1102
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:37,800
I would just like to add that given the short notice that previous board members had regarding the dire financial strengths of this pool and they were quick to act and able to put something like this together.

1103
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:58,800
I don't see why we would not be able to act like that again if we needed this option, but I think if we put this option in, I think it's just basically giving us to get out of jail free card and not have to work together and have hard conversations with the foundation and community.

1104
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:05,800
Any other questions or discussion of the amendment on the floor?

1105
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:14,800
Can you just clarify for all board members' sake?

1106
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:32,800
Yes. For a yes vote, you will be voting in favor of removing item number three from the resolution, which states the district will receive and consider any and all offers to purchase the pool by nonprofit and for-profit entities alike.

1107
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:40,800
Yes vote will remove that from the resolution and no vote will retain that in the resolution.

1108
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,800
Does everybody understand what yes and no mean?

1109
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,800
Thank you for that clarification.

1110
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:46,800
Thank you.

1111
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,800
All right. The voting device is now open.

1112
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:15,800
Would anyone like to change their vote?

1113
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:21,800
All right. The vote is not closed.

1114
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,800
We have five yes and four no.

1115
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,800
The amendment stands.

1116
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,800
I have another amendment please.

1117
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:31,800
Wait just one second.

1118
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:46,800
We are now at the main motion on the floor, which is to accept the resolution as read with striking number three under now therefore be it resolved and now entertain your amendment, Randy.

1119
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:51,800
I move we eliminate item number one C.

1120
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:58,800
District must receive revenue by way of donations or other revenue streams to the amount of $250,000 by July one.

1121
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,800
So fund 80 may continue to operate.

1122
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:07,800
It's cash flow positive manner in 2026 to 2027.

1123
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:17,800
I think trying to ask the foundation to come up with this large amount of cash in such a short period of time does not at all realistic.

1124
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:23,800
I'm not sure that this board has shown good faith and that they really want to do these things.

1125
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:34,800
There's been an offer on the table for $120,000 to repairs which has not been taken advantage of.

1126
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,800
So I think we should just eliminate item number three.

1127
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:45,800
I don't think that's necessary to keep our pool open at this time.

1128
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:46,800
Okay.

1129
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:56,800
I'm just going to I was going to refer our defer to you Davis because there's a reason for that being in there and Davis, you can open on that.

1130
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,800
And I'm not here to tell people how to vote, but.

1131
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:08,800
So the reason you need that by July one is because if you don't have that money by July one.

1132
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,800
Then you won't have any operating funds.

1133
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,800
You won't have it. You won't have any fund balance left.

1134
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,800
So you need the 75,000 to get back to zero.

1135
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,800
So now you've avoided the deficit for 2526.

1136
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:38,800
You haven't addressed how you're going to keep operating in 2627 because you're not going to receive levy money.

1137
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:40,800
If at all.

1138
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:45,800
Until December, January.

1139
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:51,800
And you are going to have Mars.

1140
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,800
Revenue streams.

1141
01:22:54,800 --> 01:23:02,800
And as we've learned from 2526, the revenue isn't enough.

1142
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,800
To overcome the expenses.

1143
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:10,800
So you need some other supplemental revenue.

1144
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:16,800
So that's why that, that one sees in there.

1145
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:22,800
Okay, I saw and I guess I'm just going to.

1146
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:30,800
You know, this, this concept of bad faith has been addressed with me before.

1147
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:38,800
The district has engaged in this conversation with the foundation since March.

1148
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,800
And in March, it was represented that there were several hundred thousands.

1149
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:48,800
I was at seven, several hundreds of thousands of dollars.

1150
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:52,800
Available to help.

1151
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:58,800
The district in its continued operations.

1152
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:12,800
As you said that, I looked at Mr. Cost because he's the one that made that presentation and he has shaken his head in the affirmative that there are several thousands of dollars to help in this endeavor.

1153
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:18,800
So I understand there is a time crunch and that is much unfortunate.

1154
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:20,800
But it's not.

1155
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,800
This isn't a surprise.

1156
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,800
This conversation has been ongoing for months.

1157
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:31,800
Then in that case you would have a week to negotiate to get some money placed in.

1158
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:37,800
Maybe not two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

1159
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:41,800
Okay, so I saw the board members pop up to the microphone was the first one was Jill.

1160
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,800
She came up.

1161
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:49,800
Just because our attorney is, is sharing.

1162
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:58,800
I just wanted to ask it was my understanding that there was an attorney representing.

1163
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:05,800
I don't want to say there was an attorney representing the interest of the foundation.

1164
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,800
Is that accurate?

1165
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:12,800
And if so, should that attorney be involved in this discussion?

1166
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,800
That attorney is no longer working with the foundation.

1167
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,800
They were that not because of anything that occurred. It was just a mutual parting of ways.

1168
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:21,800
Thank you.

1169
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,800
The next one I saw was.

1170
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:26,800
And I.

1171
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:27,800
Go ahead.

1172
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:28,800
Sorry.

1173
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:33,800
I would just add the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a conservative amount.

1174
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:39,800
Because keep in mind your deficit is understood to be.

1175
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,800
At least two hundred thousand dollars.

1176
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:49,800
And the budget prepared by administration.

1177
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:58,800
Estimates that the deficit for twenty six twenty seven will be over three hundred thousand dollars.

1178
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:04,800
If I recall correctly, I believe it's three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars roughly.

1179
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:06,800
So.

1180
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:10,800
The two hundred and fifty is to provide.

1181
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,800
A life raft until.

1182
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,800
Possibly October.

1183
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:27,800
And give the board some more time to make a more.

1184
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,800
Informed decision about how it's going to.

1185
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:37,800
Continue to fund the operations of pool, whether that be through an increased tax levy.

1186
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,800
Through further discussions with the foundation.

1187
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:42,800
Through.

1188
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,800
Maybe.

1189
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,800
Different programming that's going to increase revenue streams.

1190
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,800
The idea is that.

1191
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:56,800
There be sufficient funds to carry.

1192
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,800
The district for some period of time.

1193
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,800
But not the full school year.

1194
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:10,800
So I understand what you're saying, Randy, where you're, but what I'm trying to make clear is.

1195
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:15,800
The two hundred and fifty thousand dollar number is.

1196
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,800
Just a.

1197
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:25,800
It's just to provide you a little more runway.

1198
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:33,800
I'd like to read from a letter that was sent to all board members.

1199
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,800
On May 22nd, twenty twenty six.

1200
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:38,800
By Mr. Cost.

1201
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:42,800
And the third paragraph of this letter, it states.

1202
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:48,800
Three of the task force members are the directors of the foundation of the United School District of Anago.

1203
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:53,800
They are attorney Paul Payance, the American CPA and Tom Cost CFP.

1204
01:27:53,800 --> 01:28:03,800
The foundation had retained attorney Ryan Haydn to be sure it wasn't missing any legal or statutory requirements that apply in a case like this.

1205
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:12,800
Attorney Haydn concluded that the Anago United School District staff and board didn't appear to be acting in good faith.

1206
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,800
But they hadn't violated any statutes or regulations.

1207
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:22,800
Thus attorney Haydn's work with a foundation is done and he is no longer on retainer.

1208
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,800
Angie, you were up to speak next.

1209
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,800
Thanks.

1210
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:42,800
Davis, would I be correct in assuming that a yes vote for this amendment to take away the two hundred and fifty thousand funding requirement?

1211
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:48,800
Wouldn't essence close the pool as of July 1st?

1212
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:52,800
Is that correct?

1213
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:59,800
Unless magically some very large amount of revenue comes in, then yes.

1214
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:01,800
It would be setting.

1215
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,800
I understand everyone's concerned and I understand that the pool.

1216
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,800
Everyone wants the pool to stay open.

1217
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:17,800
But if there is no revenue for twenty six twenty seven per law, it has to be closed.

1218
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:21,800
At least as you do as you operate it now.

1219
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:27,800
You can convert it to a fun 10 operation where it's only fun 10.

1220
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,800
And it's only for educational purposes.

1221
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:40,800
But as we've discovered, if you do that, your educational fund will operate at deficit and you will need to terminate staff.

1222
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,800
Thank you.

1223
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:51,800
This discussion has come up in the past and just so before anybody has the idea that we should just move it to fun 10.

1224
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:56,800
We would be looking at eliminating 11 teachers.

1225
01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:01,800
Basically all of our C.T. department gone.

1226
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,800
Our art department gone.

1227
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:08,800
Music gone.

1228
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:16,800
So I just want everybody to know the weight of if you decide that you want to think that's a good idea.

1229
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:25,800
You can say we've acted in bad faith all you want, but we have tried and tried to look at this from every single angle that we could possibly come up with.

1230
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:31,800
Not only from us, but from the community, from the legal side, all that stuff.

1231
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:41,800
This is a volunteer position and we're trying to make the best decision for our students and for our community.

1232
01:30:41,800 --> 01:31:00,800
And for you to sit up here not knowing even a quarter of the details that all of us have gone through and dug up and looked at and say that we are operating in bad faith is ridiculous.

1233
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,800
And very unprofessional.

1234
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:10,800
So, and you can sit here and snicker all you want. You don't even know how to operate your laptop over here.

1235
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:13,800
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.

1236
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:17,800
Danny, I think you were, Angie, you finished?

1237
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:18,800
I am finished.

1238
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,800
Dan, you were next that I saw coming to the mic.

1239
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:25,800
I do want to just outline that we are all adults. We are all professionals.

1240
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:26,800
Are we?

1241
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:28,800
Angie, I'm speaking at the moment.

1242
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:34,800
So, we are all professionals. We are all here to have open, hard conversations.

1243
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:38,800
We need to have these hard conversations and it's nothing personal.

1244
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:43,800
I'm not taking anything away from any of the previous board members that sat up here like you just said and did the dirt.

1245
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,800
You guys dug into it, you did your research. I'm not taking that away from any of you.

1246
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:49,800
Thank you for that. You are doing that, yes.

1247
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:53,800
I am not taking that away from anybody, but we have to have these hard conversations.

1248
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:54,800
I agree.

1249
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,800
I understand that there is some emotion coming from you with that and I get that.

1250
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:05,800
This is a sensitive topic, but I do just want to remind us that we are having a very hard adult conversations right now.

1251
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:14,800
So, what I would like to just comment on is that previously, so if we're saying we need the 250,000,

1252
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:20,800
if this term of budget is used for here, then that means that this budget should fluctuate.

1253
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:26,800
So, we can't say that our expenses are going to require $250,000 up front.

1254
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:35,800
I would like to ask, what is the bare minimum that this pool needs every single month to stay open?

1255
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:40,800
Can we meet with the foundation on a monthly basis mid-month and say,

1256
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:44,800
this is how much we need to keep the doors open this month? This is how much we need next month?

1257
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:48,800
Instead of asking them to put up this much money for that,

1258
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:56,800
in addition, what is the minimum balance that we need to keep in fund 80 in order to keep it open for July 1st?

1259
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:05,800
Is it $1? Is it $10,000? Is it $50,000? What is the minimum requirement for that?

1260
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:11,800
So, Danny, well, those are great questions that need to be asked and great questions that we need to discuss.

1261
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:17,800
Now would not be the time to discuss those questions because we are trying to amend this motion to remove line C.

1262
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:27,800
And from what I understand of $250,000, this is actually just to carry over until we start receiving the tax money that comes in from December,

1263
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:37,800
and comes in December and January of the tax levy of the potentially $300,000 or whatever this board sets in October.

1264
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:46,800
Then when that money comes in, this will be able to act as a cushion to help supplement for the remainder of the year.

1265
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:56,800
You have great points, great questions there to ask, and I think we could go down that road gingerly,

1266
01:33:56,800 --> 01:34:01,800
but remember we are talking about just removing this. We're not talking about what this covers.

1267
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:15,800
And Danny, if we circle back to that question, I have a comment that, but I don't want to get you off track.

1268
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:21,800
So, how many times can we amend the motion?

1269
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:26,800
So, if I were to amend the motion, that's then we're done.

1270
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:27,800
We're at two.

1271
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:34,800
Well, we're at two because we had one amendment from Jean, and now we're at two with Randy with this motion.

1272
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:41,800
Can I revise my amendment?

1273
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,800
State your revision will see what we can do.

1274
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:49,800
Can we change the $250,000 to $100,000?

1275
01:34:51,800 --> 01:35:01,800
That would have to be a question that we would have to ask, is that enough to carry us until we get tax revenue coming in in December?

1276
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:02,800
I don't know.

1277
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:12,800
I don't think it will be enough to carry you to December, but it will be enough time to get further negotiations with the foundation is my point, I guess.

1278
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,800
I see that.

1279
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:24,800
So, if you want to revise that amendment to $100,000, that you want to leave letter C in there?

1280
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,800
That would be correct.

1281
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:31,800
And revise it to in the amount of $100,000 by July 1?

1282
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:32,800
Yes, sir.

1283
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:34,800
Okay.

1284
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:46,800
So, the revision from Randy is to change the $250,000 to $100,000 by July 1, because all the members understand that's what we're speaking to now.

1285
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,800
Angie, I saw your hand.

1286
01:35:49,800 --> 01:36:01,800
So, it's my understanding that the foundation, as Tom Cost was nodding in the audience here, that the $250 was fine, that they did have that.

1287
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,800
No, I don't think he was saying that.

1288
01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:05,800
Okay.

1289
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:06,800
I misunderstood that.

1290
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:07,800
Okay.

1291
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:08,800
I apologize.

1292
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:09,800
I apologize, Tom.

1293
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:10,800
So, okay.

1294
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:17,800
Because like in the past, they have talked that coming up with this money was not an issue and that they could fund it.

1295
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:22,800
I mean, there was meetings where he was throwing out a lot more dollars.

1296
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:31,800
I realize that obviously you don't just write checks like that overnight, but a couple of phone calls.

1297
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:39,800
I understand.

1298
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:43,800
So, I guess that was my point.

1299
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:44,800
Okay.

1300
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:49,800
I apologize for misunderstanding it.

1301
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,800
I take hand signals very well, Tom, whenever I see those.

1302
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:53,800
Yeah.

1303
01:36:53,800 --> 01:37:07,800
Any other discussion of the consideration of the amendment on the floor to leave item C, but change the amount to $100,000 by July one.

1304
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:13,800
That is now what we're going to be voting upon.

1305
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:14,800
All right.

1306
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:36,800
To be clear, by July one, but then if there are no further donations and fund 80 hits zero, this voting to approve the revision of the second amendment would effectively close down the pool because we would lose an additional $150,000 buffer.

1307
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:37,800
Correct.

1308
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:38,800
Correct.

1309
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:43,800
I have a question.

1310
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:48,800
So if we lose that money in the fund goes negative, but aren't we already negative?

1311
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:58,800
So I guess I just need clarification as to if we ended the year already negative, but we have money going into the positive going into the new year.

1312
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:06,800
If those funds dip below negative, aren't we just operating how we have been for the last however many years illegally?

1313
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:11,800
But like, but we could meet with the foundation and they could bring more money forward, right? Like the pool wouldn't have to close.

1314
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:12,800
Correct.

1315
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:13,800
Correct.

1316
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:14,800
Correct.

1317
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:26,800
Effectively choosing their fiduciary duties would mean that we are effectively saying we would choose to illegally fund and operate the pool.

1318
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:31,800
Am I hearing that correctly?

1319
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:32,800
No.

1320
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:41,800
I'm not saying that I'm, I needed clarification on as to if will the pool, like, why does the pool close?

1321
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:47,800
If that fund goes negative, then versus now, like, why isn't it gone closed now?

1322
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:53,800
And if it does go negative or get close, can't we meet with the foundation on a monthly basis to get more funds?

1323
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,800
Thank you for clarifying.

1324
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:56,800
Yeah.

1325
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:57,800
Yeah.

1326
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:02,800
The answer to that question.

1327
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:15,800
There could be an interpretation of Wisconsin 121 that requires it to be closed right now.

1328
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:27,800
If $75,000 can get into the account and the account can read zero for the year.

1329
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:35,800
An argument can be made that it didn't operate at a deficit.

1330
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:40,800
But if you knowingly are going into a year with zero money,

1331
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:45,800
then yes, you, you are operating in depth. You know, you are going to be operating at deficit.

1332
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,800
The other thing I'd know, which I wanted to address earlier.

1333
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:56,800
This is not fair to the YMCA to do a month to month.

1334
01:39:56,800 --> 01:40:02,800
Will we have money? Will we have not? They have employees that they have dedicated to the operations.

1335
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:09,800
It is not fair to those individuals to have them guessing every 30 days.

1336
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:16,800
If they're going to have a continued appointment.

1337
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:26,800
And this is just not how businesses operate.

1338
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:28,800
Okay, is there any other questions Melissa?

1339
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,800
Yep, I have a clarifying question.

1340
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:34,800
So if we change this from $250,000 to $100,000.

1341
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:40,800
So then we're at $175,000 with the June and July money.

1342
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,800
Aren't we just, I mean, isn't it a way of looking at it.

1343
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:49,800
We're just giving the foundation more time to come up with it on the other $150,000.

1344
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,800
We're not saying we don't need it, but by lowering this amount,

1345
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:57,800
aren't we buying them some time so we can get more money in here.

1346
01:40:57,800 --> 01:40:59,800
I would answer that as yes.

1347
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:01,800
Okay, thank you.

1348
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:05,800
But keep in mind that $75,000 is actually covering the deficit.

1349
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:07,800
The $100,000 will be for next year.

1350
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:08,800
It's lean on until.

1351
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:13,800
We're still asking them to come up with $175,000 in a week, basically.

1352
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:23,800
So if we drop that to $175,000, I think that would buy them another some more time to get that $150,000 is my thought.

1353
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:24,800
Angie?

1354
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:28,800
The $150 is going to take us to our toll.

1355
01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:29,800
Correct. November.

1356
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:34,800
I don't know because I'm not, I don't know the day to day operation of what the cost is.

1357
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:35,800
Right.

1358
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:36,800
Yeah.

1359
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:37,800
We think.

1360
01:41:37,800 --> 01:41:38,800
Go ahead, David.

1361
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:42,800
And generally that the pool operates at a.

1362
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:51,800
We think the pool generally operates at about $750,000.

1363
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:53,800
Of a.

1364
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:55,800
Of expenses.

1365
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:56,800
Right.

1366
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:57,800
Kelly.

1367
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:00,800
Am I accurate on that?

1368
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:01,800
Yeah.

1369
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:03,800
And so.

1370
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:09,800
And then we estimate that you're running at basically a half.

1371
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:14,800
Deficit. So you're 307 being the red.

1372
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:15,800
So now.

1373
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:19,800
I mean, the $150,000.

1374
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,800
You're going to burn through that in a matter of.

1375
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:29,800
Three months.

1376
01:42:29,800 --> 01:42:31,800
I'm sorry, a hundred thousand. You're going to.

1377
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:34,800
Yeah, you're easily going to burn through that three months.

1378
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:43,800
But I think before we got to that three month period, there would be conversations with.

1379
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:45,800
You can.

1380
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:56,800
That we would let put them on notice as to where we are with all of the oversight of the budget throughout that time.

1381
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,800
You know, we would not wait until we're down to.

1382
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:12,800
$500 in the account before we say, Oh, Mr. cost, by the way, you know, that would not be, that would not be acting in good faith from us as a district or board to the foundation.

1383
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,800
Does that make sense?

1384
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:26,800
Okay. Any other question, Angie, you kind of have a question to look.

1385
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:35,800
In regards to going back and doing your monthly budgeting, you know, going back and forth with the foundation.

1386
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:40,800
It's my understanding. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's my understanding that.

1387
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:46,800
The school district is not to be doing that. We need that's why we needed the pool.

1388
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:53,800
Fund 80% fund 80% thank you to be that liaison between the school district because like.

1389
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:59,800
Even the finance director's role should not be heavily involved in this.

1390
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:01,800
So to.

1391
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:06,800
To do that monthly is kind of not feasible.

1392
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,800
So Davis, I have a question.

1393
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:17,800
The extent of the operation and maintenance, according to the outsourcing agreement.

1394
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:20,800
Is Woodson YMCA. No.

1395
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:23,800
Brian shaking his head. No.

1396
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:24,800
No.

1397
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:28,800
The outsourcing agreement is going to continue.

1398
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:34,800
By and large, the relationship that the district has with the Y right now.

1399
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:40,800
The day to day maintenance that.

1400
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,800
At one point was.

1401
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:48,800
At the center of this discussion still needs to be addressed, which is.

1402
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:54,800
There is in the budget, a hundred thousand dollar line item.

1403
01:44:54,800 --> 01:45:01,800
For a fund 80 specific employee to be hired.

1404
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:04,800
That could be.

1405
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:10,800
A solution to the maintenance. There are other solutions that.

1406
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:14,800
Potential solutions that I've discussed with administration.

1407
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:16,800
With current staffing.

1408
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,800
To take a part time employee.

1409
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:27,800
And dedicate some of their time to the pool to do day to day operations.

1410
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,800
The over arching.

1411
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:33,800
I guess.

1412
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,800
Oversight of the operations and.

1413
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:42,800
Decisions about what to do with funds.

1414
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:49,800
That could be delegated to a subcommittee as previously described.

1415
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:55,800
So there are ways that we can work.

1416
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,800
And get creative with.

1417
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,800
Filling those staffing needs.

1418
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:08,800
But at the end of the day, which is what the resolution is to address is you need.

1419
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:12,800
Money to continue out of their minimum.

1420
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:21,800
I also had concerns about the personnel issue and it's a talking point I would like to discuss.

1421
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:23,800
I was actually waiting.

1422
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,800
After this vote to see what the.

1423
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:28,800
Final motion is on the floor.

1424
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:30,800
But I am going to defer to you Danny.

1425
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:34,800
Is this the time to talk about the personnel component of this.

1426
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:37,800
It would not be the time to talk about that at this time.

1427
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:41,800
We can get the final motion and then that would be the time to bring up.

1428
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:43,800
All of this those issues.

1429
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:45,800
Can I just I just got to ask you a question.

1430
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:47,800
So when Davis was.

1431
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:50,800
Talking about the maintenance and stuff like that.

1432
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:56,800
Is there no way for us to break down how much of the maintenance is needed to keep.

1433
01:46:56,800 --> 01:47:02,800
That facility functioning in the interest of the educational sources.

1434
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,800
Not the community side. So could we break down.

1435
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:09,800
Maintenance expense for wages.

1436
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:11,800
And bill it from fun 10.

1437
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:13,800
If the maintenance that's being used.

1438
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:17,800
Is in the interest of the educational side of that pool.

1439
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:23,800
Now if that's 20% that would be 20% of that person's labor get built to fund 10.

1440
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:24,800
Can they break that.

1441
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:25,800
So that's how you.

1442
01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:28,800
Sorry Danny. That's how you come up with the rent.

1443
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:29,800
Amount.

1444
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:39,800
Okay, so the district to your fun 10 your fun 10 rents the pool time.

1445
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:40,800
For education.

1446
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:45,800
Time like swim lessons for PE.

1447
01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:49,800
Adaptive PT.

1448
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:57,800
And that money from fun 10 goes to pay rent to fund 80 for that specific period of time.

1449
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:03,800
And that calculation you're doing is how you arrive at a proper rent payment.

1450
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:05,800
Does that make sense?

1451
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:06,800
Yep, that makes sense.

1452
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:10,800
So, but then in that, but then you still need to.

1453
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:14,800
So that's just money going from one account to the other.

1454
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,800
But fund 80 still needs to be.

1455
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:23,800
You need to have a dedicated employee because you can't just send.

1456
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,800
Well, you can say.

1457
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,800
To your maintenance guy.

1458
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,800
Okay, we're splitting your.

1459
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:33,800
Your job description.

1460
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:37,800
You're going to do 80% of fun 10.

1461
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:43,800
Activities going around our educational buildings.

1462
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:50,800
And then 20% at the aquatic center and your 20% will be paid out of funding.

1463
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:54,800
But you have, so then you have a full time equivalent employee,

1464
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:58,800
but you have two part time positions making that full time equivalent.

1465
01:48:58,800 --> 01:48:59,800
Understand.

1466
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:07,800
So, so my question then though, when, when schools not in session, isn't there maintenance that we could be doing.

1467
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:14,800
With staff to keep it functioning as our educational source, because it still is used for.

1468
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:19,800
Educational reasons schools, the kids are just not in session at the moment.

1469
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,800
Right, no, you can't do that.

1470
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:34,800
Okay, the amendment on the floor is to leave items C.

1471
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:42,800
And change in the amount from $250,000 by July 1 to $100,000 by July 1.

1472
01:49:42,800 --> 01:49:48,800
So, if this passes and the funding does run out, I'm hoping it doesn't.

1473
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:54,800
I'm hoping that the foundation can come through, but the, but if the money does run out in three months.

1474
01:49:55,800 --> 01:50:00,800
So, in September, does that mean that we come back and we have the same discussion?

1475
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:05,800
Or like, or do we just close it down?

1476
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:13,800
I think this is going to be an ongoing discussion.

1477
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:16,800
The pool has been in existence for 22 years.

1478
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:22,800
We can't just make these big decisions in a short periods of time.

1479
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:27,800
It's going to be an ongoing thing until we can get this sustainable.

1480
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:39,800
I think as Mike was talking, I was thinking about the response and that would be what Danny has been saying that we meet with the committee, which is the finance committee is his committee.

1481
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:45,800
That would be discussed at his committee level on a monthly basis as to where the funds are.

1482
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:50,800
And then at that time, we would also be in conversation with Mr. Cost and the foundation.

1483
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:57,800
And we would keep them in the loop as to where the funds are at on a monthly basis.

1484
01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:58,800
Correct.

1485
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:00,800
We're not going to wait until that three months.

1486
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:01,800
Okay.

1487
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:10,800
And then by not waiting for that three month period, Mr. Cost and the foundation is aware of what's going on of what's needed by the school because.

1488
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:21,800
Please correct me, Mr. Cost, if I'm wrong, but I think in the very beginning, you said we want to do what we can do to help the school to keep this this pool open.

1489
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:23,800
Maybe not those exact words.

1490
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:29,800
They were probably better eloquently given by you than what I just said.

1491
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:36,800
But that was the gist of what I heard you say is that the foundation is here to help to supplement the school.

1492
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:37,800
Okay.

1493
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:39,800
Does that answer your question, Angie?

1494
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:41,800
Yes and no.

1495
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:49,800
So it, again, I'm hopeful, very hopeful that the foundation will come through.

1496
01:51:49,800 --> 01:52:00,800
If a chance something happens and they do not, then does it automatically close down or do we have to come back for more for this again?

1497
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:05,800
It's fluid.

1498
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:06,800
Okay.

1499
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:10,800
I mean, I cannot give you a definite black or white answer.

1500
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:11,800
Okay.

1501
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:17,800
And I don't know that anybody in here can really give any of the board member want to say something there.

1502
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:19,800
I don't think we can.

1503
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:24,800
I think looking at it on that month to month basis is what's, is where we're at.

1504
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:35,800
And then I think by looking at this month to month basis, we're going to see a trend that's going to, that's going to pop up emerge out of what we're doing here, which is something we should have done 20 years ago.

1505
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:40,800
And we're just doing it now rather than 20 years earlier.

1506
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:49,800
So we're, we're doing this now so we can get ahead before that tax levy money comes in December and January.

1507
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:58,800
This is going to be the responsibility of the finance committee of the school board, not our business administrator.

1508
01:52:58,800 --> 01:52:59,800
Correct?

1509
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:00,800
Correct.

1510
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:01,800
Yeah.

1511
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:02,800
To work with the foundation directly.

1512
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:04,800
We can.

1513
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:05,800
Yes, absolutely.

1514
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:07,800
Our administrators are not doing is my point.

1515
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:08,800
Correct.

1516
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:10,800
They will have to have some type of skin in the game as well.

1517
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,800
I mean, we're talking about everybody having skin in the game.

1518
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:16,800
Everybody's going to have to have that in this to make it work.

1519
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:17,800
But their time will not be put into it.

1520
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:18,800
It'll be the committee.

1521
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:23,800
Well, I can't say their time won't be because they'll, they'll have to put some of their time in there.

1522
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:24,800
Okay.

1523
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:26,800
I don't know what percentage of that time would be.

1524
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:27,800
Okay.

1525
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:29,800
Okay.

1526
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:30,800
Any other.

1527
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:33,800
That is a problem, Danny.

1528
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:35,800
I mean, that is.

1529
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:42,800
That is an operational problem because you don't have a fund 80 paid employee.

1530
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:47,800
That's how this has snowballed into such a problem.

1531
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:52,800
So Davis, what in the event, what happens in the event that we do hire a fund 80 employee.

1532
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,800
Three months from now, five months from now.

1533
01:53:56,800 --> 01:54:03,800
What then?

1534
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:07,800
That's that would be if the pool is still open.

1535
01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:08,800
Great.

1536
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:17,800
But I would advocate that that I would advise that a fund 80 employee be hired as soon as possible.

1537
01:54:17,800 --> 01:54:21,800
Which is why it's in the proposed budget.

1538
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:31,800
I would also note that at the last task force meeting, the board gave a directive to come up with a person because it was a personnel issue.

1539
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:41,800
And to my knowledge, I'm going to, I'm going to probably break the rules by asking if there's anybody who has brought forth a person that we're not aware of.

1540
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:47,800
Or if there's any board members that are aware of a person because of the personnel fund 80 issue.

1541
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:53,800
Is there anybody in this room that is aware of that directive being successfully fulfilled?

1542
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:56,800
That was supposed to be the honest question.

1543
01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:57,800
By the fund.

1544
01:54:57,800 --> 01:55:03,800
But no, I'm just making sure that there's nobody that was like, that was a directive given, correct?

1545
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:13,800
That there's a personnel issue that Mr. Koss has very clearly laid out his magic and it's exceptionally appreciated.

1546
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:18,800
It really came down to the money, the money is a problem, right?

1547
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:24,800
But you have somebody that's well versed and knowledgeable to be able to address the financial component with time.

1548
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:25,800
I understand that.

1549
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:32,800
What was still the secondary, yet primary barrier is a personnel issue.

1550
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:36,800
So we still have not resolved a fund 80 personnel.

1551
01:55:36,800 --> 01:55:42,800
So I'm just making sure that that is still something that we're pretending is not a direct imminent need.

1552
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:46,800
We don't have somebody identified, correct?

1553
01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:50,800
To my knowledge, nobody is identified.

1554
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:53,800
When you say no one's been identified, what do you mean?

1555
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:56,800
Like a position, like a type of position?

1556
01:55:56,800 --> 01:56:05,800
Nobody has come forward to apply for the position.

1557
01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:14,800
In any of those people's defense, no position has been posted because there's no money to fund that position.

1558
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:16,800
Right, so it goes hand in hand.

1559
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:17,800
Correct.

1560
01:56:17,800 --> 01:56:18,800
Yes.

1561
01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:19,800
That's the thing.

1562
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:20,800
There is no money currently.

1563
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:21,800
There's also no position.

1564
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:27,800
So one without, I mean, that's how we keep ping ponging and the discussions, right?

1565
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:30,800
Including these on the amendments even tonight.

1566
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:39,800
So I guess my question is you, this is a personal question that I was trying to hold off and part of it at least.

1567
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:47,800
But how do we effectively go month to month through committee meetings without having a liaison funded through fund 80?

1568
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:50,800
So if we reduce to 100,000, that's my question.

1569
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:59,800
I very much agree and love the band aid to go month to month by reducing to bank it more feasible to acquire donations.

1570
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:14,800
Yet at the end of the day, can we do that without having a fund 80 liaison to help facilitate, communicate, pay bills, identify needs?

1571
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:15,800
Can we do that?

1572
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:20,800
And that's a question for the finance committee for you, Danny, for Davis.

1573
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:26,800
Like, is this a feasible band aid?

1574
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:36,800
I would say other districts do this and I would think that there's some way that our finance director can be that liaison.

1575
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:43,800
If it requires something with her job description to be changed.

1576
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:46,800
There's districts all over the state that do this.

1577
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:54,800
Their finance office, finance director pays all the bills through their districts.

1578
01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:56,800
I've talked to some of these people.

1579
01:57:56,800 --> 01:58:02,800
So there is a way we have to figure out the way to move forward.

1580
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:04,800
So it's a separate contract.

1581
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:06,800
I've also done the research and had the conversations.

1582
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:10,800
Those contracts aren't written up, so we don't have that in place.

1583
01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:16,800
Can we logically reasonably have that in place by July to get it to committee?

1584
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:26,800
I've had the discussion and presented a solution to some members of the foundation and our district as well of that fund 80 position.

1585
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:33,800
Tying to our strategic plan that should drive our decision making for a community engagement slash aquatic center director.

1586
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:38,800
That's not necessarily a full time position for aquatics, but that bridges that gap.

1587
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:46,800
Going back to the city and the county, it would be wonderful if maybe that could be a split position between the city.

1588
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:53,800
County or district, because again, it's a community, community gym that we're talking about.

1589
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:57,800
So looking at creative solutions and skin in the game.

1590
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:02,800
Can parks and recs oversee that portion of it funded through funded?

1591
01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:09,800
I mean, there's endless creative solutions right now, though, that there's not a solution on the table that is addressing that.

1592
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:19,800
So can we like, yes, we can get it, but now reasonably not having contract language, even drafted right now to my knowledge.

1593
01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:23,800
We're not going to get that to committees by July.

1594
01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:27,800
Now, that means we're going to get it to committee in August.

1595
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:38,800
We reduced the amount from 250 to 100. Like, I just don't like the cushion right now. It doesn't make me feel comfortable because we still have too many moving parts that aren't being addressed yet.

1596
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:46,800
Davis, correct me if I'm wrong, the position and the, like the interviewing, the job description, all that.

1597
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:51,800
Is not supposed to come through the school district because then that means that we're.

1598
01:59:53,800 --> 01:59:57,800
Handling fund 80 improperly. Is that correct?

1599
01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:04,800
No, you can have the district can.

1600
02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:13,800
Put out a position and pay for that position, but they have to do it out of funding. The payment has to come out of funding.

1601
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:19,800
Right. So our HR department can put together can spend the time on it, put together the.

1602
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:24,800
Yeah, original. Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay. Thank you.

1603
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:29,800
Davis, can that person be as Jill was implying a part time.

1604
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:39,800
Fund 80 and a part time fund 10 and be a PR person for the school district as well as the director for the aquatic center.

1605
02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:46,800
I think Jill is implying that it would be all funded. The PR person.

1606
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:55,800
Correct. It would be funded on a fund 80. If you do a split position again going back to our strategic plan that should drive decision making because our community has.

1607
02:00:55,800 --> 02:01:00,800
Criticized the decisions that we make. So tying it back to that strategic plan would do that.

1608
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:06,800
Right now, quite honestly, my solution that I would offer that is not.

1609
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:11,800
I didn't even know if this fits in this discussion is that we create a second contract.

1610
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:16,800
For likely Kelly, Jake and Glenda.

1611
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:22,800
To be paid out of fund 80 to remove that personnel issue.

1612
02:01:23,800 --> 02:01:25,800
But that is not.

1613
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:29,800
This current revise amendment.

1614
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:34,800
But ties to it because we have to be able to discuss it and do something with it.

1615
02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:37,800
So.

1616
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:42,800
Those employees you just mentioned.

1617
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:46,800
Have signed contracts for.

1618
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:49,800
26, 27.

1619
02:01:50,800 --> 02:01:54,800
You would have to offer them new contracts.

1620
02:01:54,800 --> 02:02:03,800
Which they would have to accept.

1621
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:06,800
Clarifying question.

1622
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:11,800
My thought is.

1623
02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:15,800
I understand completely the concern the personnel concern and the continued deficit.

1624
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:17,800
If we don't have that.

1625
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:20,800
Position there. I do understand that.

1626
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:23,800
But I think we're losing sight of the fact that.

1627
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:30,800
What is it is been effectively three months that the foundation came up with almost $2 million that they can.

1628
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:33,800
Help with if needed.

1629
02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:40,800
I don't see why they would have put the energy into finding a person if they didn't know if the doors were going to stay open.

1630
02:02:41,800 --> 02:02:45,800
So with the speed that they came up with a solution on their end.

1631
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:48,800
I feel like if we work with them.

1632
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:53,800
That position could be created and failed rather relatively quickly.

1633
02:02:53,800 --> 02:02:56,800
I mean they've proven that time is of the.

1634
02:02:56,800 --> 02:03:00,800
They understand time is of the essence and they're willing to put in the work.

1635
02:03:00,800 --> 02:03:01,800
It just can't.

1636
02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:04,800
It has to happen in the correct order.

1637
02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:09,800
And to me keeping the doors open or knowing that the doors are going to be open.

1638
02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:14,800
I would put my energy into that before I would put it into filling a position that might not exist if the doors don't stay open.

1639
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:27,800
Danny can you correct me if I'm wrong.

1640
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:30,800
Maybe I'm remembering this incorrectly.

1641
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:32,800
So at the last.

1642
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:34,800
Pool task force meeting that we had.

1643
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:38,800
I thought as Joe brought up too that the.

1644
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:41,800
That that group was going to find.

1645
02:03:41,800 --> 02:03:47,800
A person is it that group or is it the school's responsibility just so we're clear.

1646
02:03:47,800 --> 02:03:50,800
We make sure we know who's supposed to be doing what.

1647
02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:51,800
So that the ball doesn't get.

1648
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:56,800
I believe it was a joint effort because it would be they would be a district higher.

1649
02:03:56,800 --> 02:03:59,800
So the school has to be involved with that.

1650
02:03:59,800 --> 02:04:00,800
Okay.

1651
02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:02,800
If I'm understanding that correctly.

1652
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:03,800
Okay.

1653
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:04,800
Yes.

1654
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:05,800
So it would be a joint effort.

1655
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:06,800
Okay.

1656
02:04:06,800 --> 02:04:09,800
But again we have not posted for a position.

1657
02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:10,800
Yet.

1658
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:11,800
Either.

1659
02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:12,800
Okay.

1660
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:13,800
Okay.

1661
02:04:13,800 --> 02:04:21,800
Let's bring us back to the amendment that's on the floor.

1662
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:24,800
And that is changing item C.

1663
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:32,800
The amount from two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars by July one.

1664
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:41,800
We will have an opportunity after this vote because this is an amendment to discuss personal matters even farther.

1665
02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:44,800
As we vote on the main resolution.

1666
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:49,800
I will vote against this revisions.

1667
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:54,800
Not because I don't have faith in Mr. Cost and those involved in the foundation.

1668
02:04:54,800 --> 02:05:08,800
But simply because I value the pool too much to worry about the barriers that we just identified coming to fruition and causing a deficit enforcing the pool to be closed.

1669
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:14,800
I feel very strongly that this revision to the amendment is likely to pass.

1670
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:16,800
So I.

1671
02:05:16,800 --> 02:05:20,800
For safety comfort security of just having more of a buffer.

1672
02:05:20,800 --> 02:05:22,800
I am opposed to it.

1673
02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:28,800
And I just I just want to be very open and honest with my Wyatt and the vote.

1674
02:05:28,800 --> 02:05:35,800
I think the reason I make this amendment even if you think it's really easy to come up with a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in a week.

1675
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:37,800
I suspect it's not.

1676
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:41,800
Mr. Cost could be probably the one to answer that question.

1677
02:05:41,800 --> 02:05:49,800
But I think this gives them a little more time to come up with the funds that we need.

1678
02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:54,800
Any other discussion of the amendment on the floor.

1679
02:05:54,800 --> 02:05:57,800
So to clarify what you're voting upon.

1680
02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:05,800
A yes vote is to change the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars.

1681
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:13,800
A no vote is to leave it the way that it speaks.

1682
02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:19,800
Is that clear for everybody.

1683
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:31,800
Okay the voting device is now open.

1684
02:06:31,800 --> 02:06:34,800
Would anyone like to change their vote.

1685
02:06:34,800 --> 02:06:37,800
The vote is now closed.

1686
02:06:37,800 --> 02:06:40,800
We have seven yes and two no.

1687
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:43,800
And the motion of the amendment carries.

1688
02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:48,800
So now the one is on the floor before you is the resolution.

1689
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:52,800
And the resolution will speak of.

1690
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:59,800
The way that it's worded with the exception of the one hundred thousand dollars on line C the second line.

1691
02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:04,800
Okay.

1692
02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:09,800
The floor is open for discussion.

1693
02:07:09,800 --> 02:07:12,800
Jill.

1694
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:17,800
I think at the.

1695
02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:24,800
I think the goal of the task force was not to come up with a bandit but to come up with a solution.

1696
02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:27,800
Obviously we haven't quite gotten there yet.

1697
02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:30,800
It's a working solution.

1698
02:07:30,800 --> 02:07:33,800
My question is.

1699
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:39,800
What are the thoughts of the board of this going on the ballot.

1700
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:42,800
Or an advisory question.

1701
02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:47,800
I think we were relying on nine people to make a decision for the community.

1702
02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:52,800
The city and county are not an active participant in this.

1703
02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:55,800
So it's.

1704
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:58,800
That's a barrier in my opinion.

1705
02:07:58,800 --> 02:08:02,800
Nobody wants to close it but funding in personnel issues are well identified.

1706
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:04,800
With this resolution is there.

1707
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:11,800
I am just curious on discussion from the board of let's truly get the community's feedback to say yes or no give us that directive.

1708
02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:18,800
Because the aquatic center is not on our strategic plan but it's considerable time money personnel.

1709
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:26,800
Can we are we open to exploring getting the community's feedback to give us that clear directive when we are another.

1710
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:32,800
So when you're asking to put a question on the ballot in November.

1711
02:08:32,800 --> 02:08:33,800
Yeah.

1712
02:08:33,800 --> 02:08:34,800
Okay.

1713
02:08:34,800 --> 02:08:40,800
So the question on the ballot in November would come after the board has set the tax levy.

1714
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:42,800
So it would be effective.

1715
02:08:42,800 --> 02:08:48,800
It would be effective for the following year which would be twenty seven twenty eight.

1716
02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:53,800
Thus fund eighty three hundred thousand would be.

1717
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:55,800
Continued use of the aquatic center.

1718
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:56,800
Correct.

1719
02:08:56,800 --> 02:08:58,800
For the current year.

1720
02:08:58,800 --> 02:09:02,800
If the board votes in October for that.

1721
02:09:02,800 --> 02:09:08,800
Three thousand dollar tax levy for fund eighty as we have for the last several years.

1722
02:09:08,800 --> 02:09:11,800
Or it can be changed in October.

1723
02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:14,800
If the board chooses to do that.

1724
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:18,800
So what kind of question would we want to put.

1725
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:21,800
Just hypothetically on the ballot.

1726
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:25,800
For.

1727
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:29,800
An operation referendum to operate.

1728
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:33,800
Just a simple guess of this is it's not a simple ballot thing.

1729
02:09:33,800 --> 02:09:39,800
There's a lot that goes into that but does the community desire to continue funding.

1730
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:43,800
The Claire Armageddon Aquatic Center through fund eighty.

1731
02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:44,800
Tax levy.

1732
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:46,800
Yes. No.

1733
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:51,800
I mean because we're talking about the community the community the community that's like the full community taxpayers.

1734
02:09:51,800 --> 02:09:52,800
To say yes or no.

1735
02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:54,800
That's all I could with this resolution.

1736
02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:57,800
I'm thinking that just like right now but like.

1737
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:02,800
So as I've gone to the convention for the last several years.

1738
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:08,800
Some of the questions come up is when can a school district put items on the ballot.

1739
02:10:08,800 --> 02:10:14,800
And they the state legislators has restricted a narrow that down.

1740
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:17,800
As to how often and when we can put things on the ballot.

1741
02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:23,800
So I'd have to ask Davis is it legal even for us to put something on the ballot in November.

1742
02:10:23,800 --> 02:10:28,800
Or do school districts only put things on the spring ballot.

1743
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:32,800
I don't have that answer.

1744
02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:36,800
I don't have the answer out the top of my head Danny I apologize.

1745
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:43,800
So I was asking if it is is it even legal to put anything from the school district on the ballot in November as a question.

1746
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:52,800
Or do we have to wait until April and then if it is legal for us to put something on the ballot in November.

1747
02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:56,800
What exactly can we put on the ballot.

1748
02:10:56,800 --> 02:10:57,800
Right.

1749
02:10:57,800 --> 02:10:58,800
I understood your question.

1750
02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:00,800
I don't know the answer right now.

1751
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:01,800
Oh I got you.

1752
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:02,800
Okay.

1753
02:11:02,800 --> 02:11:04,800
I'm just simply curious of throwing that out there.

1754
02:11:04,800 --> 02:11:09,800
Maybe it's a survey that that's going to be.

1755
02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:13,800
I think it comes back to a long term solution.

1756
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:20,800
So if our our vote if our in the vote comes back that yes we want to use our tax dollars to fund the pool.

1757
02:11:20,800 --> 02:11:21,800
That's the long term solution.

1758
02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:26,800
Then we just have to increase the levy every year to cover the finances.

1759
02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:37,800
But I'm not comfortable increasing the levy over two times to meet the needs of the pool without the directive from an actual vote and answers.

1760
02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:38,800
Thank you.

1761
02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:56,800
Okay any further questions of the resolution as we have amended it twice.

1762
02:11:56,800 --> 02:11:59,800
And now you have.

1763
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:10,800
Can we just clarify who is responsible now then for carrying this out so that we've discussed that we brought the number down to a hundred thousand and we're going to have monthly meetings.

1764
02:12:10,800 --> 02:12:14,800
With the foundation to maintain this and so.

1765
02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:21,800
Is that monthly meeting going to be right in with the finance committee or who is responsible for carrying that out.

1766
02:12:21,800 --> 02:12:26,800
Davis you can correct me.

1767
02:12:26,800 --> 02:12:34,800
But I would believe that would fall on the finance committee and Kelly our.

1768
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:36,800
Finance director.

1769
02:12:36,800 --> 02:12:53,800
To have those meetings and be able to inform Mr. Cost and the foundation as to where we're standing financially on that month to month basis.

1770
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:56,800
So.

1771
02:12:56,800 --> 02:13:01,800
I don't think it's appropriate to be sending.

1772
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:07,800
Your administrators to these meetings to address fund 80.

1773
02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:11,800
When they're fun 10 employees.

1774
02:13:12,800 --> 02:13:17,800
Whether, you know, we're talking about.

1775
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:27,800
A matter of a minute or two of entering data in or generating a report and sending it to somebody.

1776
02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:32,800
You know, I'm not reading the statute that critically.

1777
02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:35,800
But.

1778
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:36,800
When.

1779
02:13:36,800 --> 02:13:42,800
There is an expect expectation that hours and hours be dedicated.

1780
02:13:42,800 --> 02:13:47,800
That's when the issue arises as to whether.

1781
02:13:47,800 --> 02:13:56,800
The fun 10 employee is doing fun to 80 work.

1782
02:13:56,800 --> 02:14:03,800
And these meetings be taking place at the same time in conjunction with our monthly committee meeting.

1783
02:14:03,800 --> 02:14:10,800
Where Mr. Cost can listen to where the finances are on the monthly basis.

1784
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:15,800
Because you just stated that our administrator can enter in the data.

1785
02:14:15,800 --> 02:14:24,800
Because that's not much time, but actually it would not fall on her to have the meeting with Mr. Cost, but he would come to the committee meeting.

1786
02:14:24,800 --> 02:14:28,800
Or he could be there and speaking with.

1787
02:14:28,800 --> 02:14:33,800
The chairman of the committee and Kelly being present at the committee meetings.

1788
02:14:33,800 --> 02:14:38,800
I'll be able to determine what is in the account on a monthly basis.

1789
02:14:38,800 --> 02:14:43,800
Is that doable.

1790
02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:44,800
This.

1791
02:14:44,800 --> 02:14:48,800
If we're talking about the reading of a report.

1792
02:14:48,800 --> 02:14:51,800
I think yes, and what it would be.

1793
02:14:51,800 --> 02:14:53,800
If it's.

1794
02:14:53,800 --> 02:14:59,800
Asking your business director to generate reports and it's someone and then people go have a discussion about it.

1795
02:14:59,800 --> 02:15:02,800
I'm comfortable with that.

1796
02:15:02,800 --> 02:15:09,800
I think it would be the report coming to the committee and the committee discussing that like they would discuss any other report.

1797
02:15:09,800 --> 02:15:13,800
At the committee level.

1798
02:15:13,800 --> 02:15:14,800
Am I missing?

1799
02:15:14,800 --> 02:15:17,800
Am I missing something?

1800
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:20,800
No.

1801
02:15:20,800 --> 02:15:21,800
Okay.

1802
02:15:21,800 --> 02:15:23,800
But I don't.

1803
02:15:23,800 --> 02:15:26,800
I don't think it'd be appropriate to send.

1804
02:15:26,800 --> 02:15:33,800
Your administrators to those committee meetings specifically dedicated to funding.

1805
02:15:33,800 --> 02:15:37,800
But they come to the committee meetings already.

1806
02:15:37,800 --> 02:15:38,800
Yeah, they're at.

1807
02:15:38,800 --> 02:15:41,800
They're required to be at all the committee meetings.

1808
02:15:41,800 --> 02:15:43,800
The, the administrators are.

1809
02:15:44,800 --> 02:15:51,800
That's like going to your doctor's appointment and then saying I'm scheduled for my, my yearly wellness exam.

1810
02:15:51,800 --> 02:15:53,800
But I also have.

1811
02:15:53,800 --> 02:16:00,800
This secondary or separate concern and saying, can you just bill it coded as a wellness exam, but.

1812
02:16:00,800 --> 02:16:02,800
Kind of hide.

1813
02:16:02,800 --> 02:16:09,800
The voting for the secondary thing that I'm asking you to medically review as my doctor, like that's kind of what we're saying right now is.

1814
02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:12,800
Can we just kind of code it differently.

1815
02:16:12,800 --> 02:16:13,800
Right.

1816
02:16:13,800 --> 02:16:16,800
Which is why you've ended up in this problem.

1817
02:16:16,800 --> 02:16:17,800
Correct.

1818
02:16:17,800 --> 02:16:18,800
Yes.

1819
02:16:18,800 --> 02:16:21,800
But it's okay for her to.

1820
02:16:21,800 --> 02:16:25,800
Send the report to the committee head.

1821
02:16:25,800 --> 02:16:26,800
Yes.

1822
02:16:26,800 --> 02:16:36,800
So then if they want to have that meeting with the foundation at that meeting, does she have to leave the room?

1823
02:16:37,800 --> 02:16:47,800
I mean, are you saying you want a separate meeting that they can't come to the finance meeting?

1824
02:16:47,800 --> 02:16:50,800
You have to do it separately or.

1825
02:16:50,800 --> 02:16:55,800
I'm not looking to be shady at all, but I am looking at.

1826
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:57,800
The best use of people's time.

1827
02:16:57,800 --> 02:17:05,800
I understand she's the one that's paid at the table, but if she's not doing much more than generating the report and then going to a meeting that she's already going to.

1828
02:17:06,800 --> 02:17:08,800
We've just said those two things are okay.

1829
02:17:08,800 --> 02:17:10,800
I just think she can't be part of the conversation.

1830
02:17:10,800 --> 02:17:12,800
That's, I mean, that's what I understand.

1831
02:17:12,800 --> 02:17:13,800
Yeah.

1832
02:17:13,800 --> 02:17:14,800
That's what I know.

1833
02:17:14,800 --> 02:17:15,800
I said it kind of.

1834
02:17:15,800 --> 02:17:16,800
Circastively.

1835
02:17:16,800 --> 02:17:17,800
Can you go?

1836
02:17:17,800 --> 02:17:18,800
Yeah.

1837
02:17:18,800 --> 02:17:23,800
What I don't like is.

1838
02:17:23,800 --> 02:17:26,800
It is a.

1839
02:17:26,800 --> 02:17:29,800
It is what you'll kind of explain it.

1840
02:17:29,800 --> 02:17:31,800
This is an attempt to be cute.

1841
02:17:32,800 --> 02:17:35,800
I'm.

1842
02:17:35,800 --> 02:17:40,800
Is everyone sitting there in all honesty saying that.

1843
02:17:40,800 --> 02:17:43,800
If Kelly's sitting at these meetings, no one's talking to her.

1844
02:17:43,800 --> 02:17:45,800
No one's going to ask her a question.

1845
02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:48,800
Period.

1846
02:17:48,800 --> 02:17:52,800
That's a fallacy.

1847
02:17:52,800 --> 02:17:54,800
It's, I mean.

1848
02:17:54,800 --> 02:17:59,800
Once we have the report, I don't know how many questions we need to ask or maybe at the beginning.

1849
02:18:00,800 --> 02:18:03,800
Until everyone's understanding is a little stronger.

1850
02:18:03,800 --> 02:18:10,800
But then at that point, once we all know what's going on and have those conversations, why

1851
02:18:10,800 --> 02:18:14,800
does she need to be a large part of it once she gives us that report?

1852
02:18:14,800 --> 02:18:21,800
The other piece is what Jill has always had been bringing up about the fund 80 employee.

1853
02:18:21,800 --> 02:18:25,800
Once that person is hired, then that person would be the one that would be at that committee

1854
02:18:25,800 --> 02:18:31,800
and speaking on behalf of the pool along with the committee and Mr. Coste with the foundation.

1855
02:18:31,800 --> 02:18:32,800
Right.

1856
02:18:32,800 --> 02:18:36,800
But we have to make concessions and help that happen.

1857
02:18:36,800 --> 02:18:38,800
Making concessions.

1858
02:18:38,800 --> 02:18:40,800
That's the struggle.

1859
02:18:40,800 --> 02:18:45,800
Everybody, the discussions in good shape, I entirely agree, but that's why we're here

1860
02:18:45,800 --> 02:18:49,800
is because we are using fund 10 to fund fund 80.

1861
02:18:49,800 --> 02:18:50,800
Understood.

1862
02:18:50,800 --> 02:18:52,800
But that's been a 20 year process to get us here.

1863
02:18:52,800 --> 02:18:54,800
We can't fix it in three months.

1864
02:18:55,800 --> 02:18:57,800
We have to take steps to get there.

1865
02:18:57,800 --> 02:18:58,800
Right.

1866
02:18:58,800 --> 02:18:59,800
I don't disagree.

1867
02:18:59,800 --> 02:19:00,800
No.

1868
02:19:00,800 --> 02:19:01,800
No, that's not true.

1869
02:19:01,800 --> 02:19:02,800
No, sorry, Jill.

1870
02:19:02,800 --> 02:19:04,800
That's not you can fix it.

1871
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:05,800
You just need the money.

1872
02:19:05,800 --> 02:19:13,800
That's like, that's the difficult part here that these things can be solved with money.

1873
02:19:13,800 --> 02:19:18,800
These other districts who are doing this and a successfully running these operations have money.

1874
02:19:18,800 --> 02:19:23,800
There are strategic plans put in place for decades to create an endowment fund.

1875
02:19:23,800 --> 02:19:25,800
So there's always money available.

1876
02:19:25,800 --> 02:19:26,800
Understood.

1877
02:19:26,800 --> 02:19:29,800
You guys do not have that.

1878
02:19:29,800 --> 02:19:31,800
You need to address.

1879
02:19:31,800 --> 02:19:38,800
Will you create a system or demand a system so that you have money in place to do these things.

1880
02:19:38,800 --> 02:19:44,800
And it's not fair.

1881
02:19:44,800 --> 02:19:46,800
It's not fair to.

1882
02:19:46,800 --> 02:19:47,800
I'm going to go back to it.

1883
02:19:47,800 --> 02:19:49,800
It's not fair to the why.

1884
02:19:50,800 --> 02:19:52,800
To operate on a month a month.

1885
02:19:52,800 --> 02:19:55,800
And it's also not fair.

1886
02:19:55,800 --> 02:20:00,800
To the students of your district to have your.

1887
02:20:00,800 --> 02:20:06,800
Speaking from experience of working with your administrators every day.

1888
02:20:06,800 --> 02:20:10,800
They are they do not have time.

1889
02:20:10,800 --> 02:20:18,800
In their day to dedicate to the pool and take away from their dedication to the students.

1890
02:20:18,800 --> 02:20:22,800
That is why this employee position is so.

1891
02:20:22,800 --> 02:20:25,800
Oh, vitally important.

1892
02:20:25,800 --> 02:20:31,800
Because it's going to provide a person to create the link that is necessary.

1893
02:20:31,800 --> 02:20:37,800
To have operational to have information flowing from the pool.

1894
02:20:37,800 --> 02:20:43,800
To committees to people who are making decisions like the board.

1895
02:20:43,800 --> 02:20:45,800
But this expectation that.

1896
02:20:45,800 --> 02:20:47,800
The administration can keep.

1897
02:20:47,800 --> 02:20:50,800
Operating the way it has been.

1898
02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:52,800
And also be addressing.

1899
02:20:52,800 --> 02:20:56,800
The myriad of issues that are is frankly.

1900
02:20:56,800 --> 02:20:59,800
When you boil it down, it's an easy issue.

1901
02:20:59,800 --> 02:21:01,800
Do you have money or not.

1902
02:21:01,800 --> 02:21:04,800
And you don't have money.

1903
02:21:04,800 --> 02:21:07,800
And now we're trying to figure out ways.

1904
02:21:07,800 --> 02:21:11,800
To keep the pool operating without the proper money.

1905
02:21:11,800 --> 02:21:14,800
Like that's what this conversation is boiling down to.

1906
02:21:14,800 --> 02:21:16,800
And I cannot advise you.

1907
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:24,800
To keep doing this.

1908
02:21:24,800 --> 02:21:26,800
But the money is there.

1909
02:21:26,800 --> 02:21:28,800
Where time to it's not.

1910
02:21:28,800 --> 02:21:29,800
Yes, it is.

1911
02:21:29,800 --> 02:21:30,800
It's not.

1912
02:21:30,800 --> 02:21:31,800
It's not there.

1913
02:21:31,800 --> 02:21:32,800
Okay.

1914
02:21:32,800 --> 02:21:33,800
It's not in my hand.

1915
02:21:33,800 --> 02:21:35,800
And our accounts.

1916
02:21:35,800 --> 02:21:38,800
We just need to have.

1917
02:21:38,800 --> 02:21:44,800
The things set in place where they know they're not throwing their money at nothing because we're going to close the doors regardless.

1918
02:21:44,800 --> 02:21:51,800
There are people in our community ready and willing to offer the money that we need.

1919
02:21:51,800 --> 02:21:53,800
To keep the doors open.

1920
02:21:53,800 --> 02:21:54,800
And then it is.

1921
02:21:54,800 --> 02:21:57,800
Yes, it's on us to fill that it fund 80 position.

1922
02:21:57,800 --> 02:21:59,800
I understand that completely.

1923
02:21:59,800 --> 02:22:01,800
But we need.

1924
02:22:01,800 --> 02:22:03,800
To also.

1925
02:22:04,800 --> 02:22:09,800
Give them a little bit of time to get that money to us.

1926
02:22:09,800 --> 02:22:12,800
They can't just write a check and set it on the table right now.

1927
02:22:12,800 --> 02:22:13,800
But it's there.

1928
02:22:13,800 --> 02:22:14,800
They've committed to it.

1929
02:22:14,800 --> 02:22:18,800
And we have not seen any reason to distrust their word.

1930
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,800
I concern I have is.

1931
02:22:21,800 --> 02:22:27,800
Credit Union committed a million dollars one million dollars to their grid iron program.

1932
02:22:27,800 --> 02:22:29,800
And then rescinded that.

1933
02:22:29,800 --> 02:22:30,800
So.

1934
02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:33,800
That was in 2026.

1935
02:22:33,800 --> 02:22:34,800
So.

1936
02:22:34,800 --> 02:22:41,800
There can be chatter, but it goes to what Davis is saying and.

1937
02:22:41,800 --> 02:22:43,800
There it's not here currently.

1938
02:22:43,800 --> 02:22:49,800
So yes, again, I don't think anybody disagrees or doesn't have faith in Mr. cost and his ability.

1939
02:22:49,800 --> 02:22:51,800
But right now speaking.

1940
02:22:51,800 --> 02:22:54,800
We still we still currently do not have the money.

1941
02:22:55,800 --> 02:22:59,800
And we could have verbal commitments and.

1942
02:22:59,800 --> 02:23:03,800
Those fall through.

1943
02:23:03,800 --> 02:23:07,800
I guess my question honestly is.

1944
02:23:07,800 --> 02:23:10,800
By.

1945
02:23:10,800 --> 02:23:17,800
So we give if we give them the time with, you know, we've made these amendments if we vote this and we give them time.

1946
02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:21,800
To get this money to a fund that is set for the pool.

1947
02:23:22,800 --> 02:23:27,800
If they back out, then we close the doors at that point, correct?

1948
02:23:27,800 --> 02:23:32,800
So we're not any better worse off than we are right this minute.

1949
02:23:32,800 --> 02:23:35,800
It's just giving our community time.

1950
02:23:35,800 --> 02:23:39,800
To get their things in place so we can make this happen.

1951
02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:40,800
Is my talk.

1952
02:23:40,800 --> 02:23:43,800
And that's the same conversation we've been having since March.

1953
02:23:43,800 --> 02:23:45,800
We're giving them time to get the money.

1954
02:23:45,800 --> 02:23:47,800
We're giving them time to get the money.

1955
02:23:47,800 --> 02:23:49,800
None of us have ever said we wanted to close the doors.

1956
02:23:50,800 --> 02:23:51,800
Yeah.

1957
02:23:51,800 --> 02:23:53,800
I went through all of the meetings.

1958
02:23:53,800 --> 02:23:55,800
No, I completely understand that part too.

1959
02:23:55,800 --> 02:23:59,800
But we've never told them if we have the, it's my understanding.

1960
02:23:59,800 --> 02:24:03,800
It's never been said we need X amount of dollars.

1961
02:24:03,800 --> 02:24:07,800
And we need it now or it's done.

1962
02:24:07,800 --> 02:24:10,800
And I think that's where we need to be right now.

1963
02:24:10,800 --> 02:24:12,800
Just to be clear.

1964
02:24:12,800 --> 02:24:18,800
In April, the budget that's in front of the board tonight was presented to the foundation.

1965
02:24:19,800 --> 02:24:21,800
It was then.

1966
02:24:21,800 --> 02:24:24,800
Responded to by saying, no, you don't need that money.

1967
02:24:24,800 --> 02:24:29,800
You only need approximately $10,000.

1968
02:24:29,800 --> 02:24:30,800
Okay.

1969
02:24:30,800 --> 02:24:31,800
And so.

1970
02:24:31,800 --> 02:24:39,800
So since April, the foundation has known what the general ask is.

1971
02:24:39,800 --> 02:24:42,800
So there has been time.

1972
02:24:43,800 --> 02:24:50,800
For the foundation and the community and anybody else who wants to assist the district financially.

1973
02:24:50,800 --> 02:24:53,800
To keep this thing running.

1974
02:24:53,800 --> 02:24:57,800
This is not a surprise to anybody.

1975
02:24:57,800 --> 02:24:59,800
So that's.

1976
02:24:59,800 --> 02:25:03,800
Do I wish it was June 22nd and this is up for a vote?

1977
02:25:03,800 --> 02:25:04,800
Absolutely not.

1978
02:25:04,800 --> 02:25:06,800
But that is where we are.

1979
02:25:07,800 --> 02:25:23,800
That's why I don't believe it's a fair.

1980
02:25:23,800 --> 02:25:25,800
For attorney heighten.

1981
02:25:25,800 --> 02:25:32,800
If you said it, and I have a lot of respect for attorney heighten to say that the district has been gauging and bad faith negotiations.

1982
02:25:32,800 --> 02:25:58,800
Okay, is there any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor?

1983
02:25:59,800 --> 02:26:00,800
The resolution.

1984
02:26:00,800 --> 02:26:01,800
Yes.

1985
02:26:01,800 --> 02:26:02,800
Yes.

1986
02:26:02,800 --> 02:26:03,800
Yes.

1987
02:26:03,800 --> 02:26:10,800
That failed.

1988
02:26:10,800 --> 02:26:12,800
Elimination number three failed.

1989
02:26:12,800 --> 02:26:13,800
Correctly.

1990
02:26:13,800 --> 02:26:14,800
No, it passed.

1991
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:15,800
Thank you.

1992
02:26:15,800 --> 02:26:19,800
I'm trying to keep all the amendments in my mind.

1993
02:26:19,800 --> 02:26:23,800
So forgive me for miss speaking.

1994
02:26:23,800 --> 02:26:30,800
So the resolution before you the only change the two changes is letter C.

1995
02:26:30,800 --> 02:26:37,800
It is now $100,000 and number three is stricken.

1996
02:26:37,800 --> 02:26:41,800
That is the resolution before you.

1997
02:26:41,800 --> 02:26:44,800
The honored you have those.

1998
02:26:44,800 --> 02:26:46,800
In the minutes.

1999
02:26:46,800 --> 02:26:50,800
It is to the amendment.

2000
02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:58,800
The amendment is to change the 250,000 to the 100,000 and to remove the strike.

2001
02:26:58,800 --> 02:27:00,800
That's passed.

2002
02:27:00,800 --> 02:27:01,800
That's passed.

2003
02:27:01,800 --> 02:27:03,800
We're at the main resolution.

2004
02:27:03,800 --> 02:27:04,800
Yep.

2005
02:27:04,800 --> 02:27:08,800
We're at the main resolution where letter C is changed to 100,000.

2006
02:27:08,800 --> 02:27:09,800
Correct.

2007
02:27:09,800 --> 02:27:11,800
And number three is stricken.

2008
02:27:11,800 --> 02:27:13,800
Now that is the main motion.

2009
02:27:13,800 --> 02:27:18,800
This will be the final vote before the board on this issue.

2010
02:27:18,800 --> 02:27:19,800
Thank you.

2011
02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:21,800
For tonight.

2012
02:27:21,800 --> 02:27:28,800
I can't be an additional motion for the same topic.

2013
02:27:28,800 --> 02:27:30,800
You can offer a substitutionary motion.

2014
02:27:30,800 --> 02:27:38,800
No, I don't want to do that.

2015
02:27:38,800 --> 02:27:42,800
Any other questions regarding the resolution that is before you tonight?

2016
02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:47,800
So a yes vote to the resolution before you.

2017
02:27:47,800 --> 02:27:54,800
Would be changing letter C to $100,000 and striking number three.

2018
02:27:54,800 --> 02:27:59,800
If you are in agreement with that, you will vote yes.

2019
02:27:59,800 --> 02:28:03,800
If you disagree with that, then you will vote no.

2020
02:28:03,800 --> 02:28:08,800
Does everybody understand how you will vote?

2021
02:28:09,800 --> 02:28:10,800
I know a clarifying question.

2022
02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:11,800
Yes.

2023
02:28:11,800 --> 02:28:17,800
And at committee, it is simply a printout with no discussion.

2024
02:28:17,800 --> 02:28:26,800
Correct.

2025
02:28:26,800 --> 02:28:29,800
Any other questions?

2026
02:28:29,800 --> 02:28:32,800
Last and final time.

2027
02:28:32,800 --> 02:28:33,800
All right.

2028
02:28:33,800 --> 02:28:35,800
Your voting device is open.

2029
02:28:35,800 --> 02:28:40,800
A yes vote is for the resolution as it was amended.

2030
02:28:40,800 --> 02:28:48,800
A no vote is to not accept it.

2031
02:28:48,800 --> 02:28:52,800
Would anyone like to change their vote?

2032
02:28:52,800 --> 02:28:54,800
The vote is now closed.

2033
02:28:54,800 --> 02:28:58,800
And the motion carries eight to one.

2034
02:28:58,800 --> 02:29:02,800
And that is our resolution.

2035
02:29:03,800 --> 02:29:04,800
Okay.

2036
02:29:04,800 --> 02:29:11,800
I would like to take a short recess so I can go and see something.

2037
02:29:11,800 --> 02:29:13,800
So let's take a ten minute recess.

2038
02:29:13,800 --> 02:29:20,800
We'll be back at nine forty seven that Angie will be leaving.

2039
02:29:20,800 --> 02:29:24,800
Okay.

2040
02:29:24,800 --> 02:29:30,800
Her schedule is such that she's been a long day.

2041
02:29:30,800 --> 02:29:38,800
I would like to be considering to approve the second reading of the policy five four six zero graduation requirements.

2042
02:29:38,800 --> 02:29:40,800
I will be looking for a motion.

2043
02:29:40,800 --> 02:29:45,800
I move to approve the second reading of the policy fifty four six graduation requirements.

2044
02:29:45,800 --> 02:29:46,800
Motion has been made by Kristen.

2045
02:29:46,800 --> 02:29:48,800
Would you like to speak to your motion?

2046
02:29:48,800 --> 02:29:52,800
This is just the correction from our last meeting.

2047
02:29:52,800 --> 02:29:58,800
It's come to committee and it is now correct.

2048
02:29:58,800 --> 02:30:03,800
Are there any questions or discussion of the motion on the floor Mike?

2049
02:30:03,800 --> 02:30:05,800
Yeah, I just the graduation requirements.

2050
02:30:05,800 --> 02:30:08,800
Why are the credit requirements lower?

2051
02:30:08,800 --> 02:30:13,800
My observation is this affects all electives because students don't need to take classes.

2052
02:30:13,800 --> 02:30:17,800
And that's allowing our students to graduate earlier now.

2053
02:30:17,800 --> 02:30:22,800
Like we've been having quite a few students graduate as juniors which is okay.

2054
02:30:22,800 --> 02:30:27,800
But at the end of the day that also affects students in seats.

2055
02:30:27,800 --> 02:30:36,800
And the Wisconsin requirement or the average I guess is between twenty two and twenty three and a half.

2056
02:30:36,800 --> 02:30:38,800
Up to twenty six credits.

2057
02:30:38,800 --> 02:30:40,800
And I know you talked about this.

2058
02:30:40,800 --> 02:30:41,800
We're new here.

2059
02:30:41,800 --> 02:30:42,800
This went through the committee.

2060
02:30:42,800 --> 02:30:47,800
But I just why is it been lowered I guess.

2061
02:30:47,800 --> 02:30:52,800
So this policy wasn't to lower it.

2062
02:30:52,800 --> 02:30:54,800
We did that a few years back.

2063
02:30:54,800 --> 02:30:56,800
I do believe.

2064
02:30:56,800 --> 02:31:09,800
This adjustment was just to account for the change in the exception acceptance of algebra eight from the middle school.

2065
02:31:09,800 --> 02:31:14,800
And the surrounding areas of whether or not that was going to count towards a math credit.

2066
02:31:14,800 --> 02:31:20,800
So the discussion of lowering the credits was that was done in a previous update.

2067
02:31:20,800 --> 02:31:21,800
Thank you.

2068
02:31:21,800 --> 02:31:24,800
A couple of years ago I believe.

2069
02:31:25,800 --> 02:31:30,800
Yes I am.

2070
02:31:30,800 --> 02:31:34,800
Do you want to speak to that just to get some quick background I could otherwise.

2071
02:31:34,800 --> 02:31:36,800
Yeah.

2072
02:31:36,800 --> 02:31:39,800
You can join into because this was a few years ago.

2073
02:31:39,800 --> 02:31:40,800
So twenty two is the standard.

2074
02:31:40,800 --> 02:31:44,800
We looked at our school districts are around us ours was really high.

2075
02:31:44,800 --> 02:31:47,800
The credit necessary around electives.

2076
02:31:48,800 --> 02:31:50,800
There's a statute based in DPI.

2077
02:31:50,800 --> 02:31:53,800
Obviously it's for credits for ELA.

2078
02:31:53,800 --> 02:31:55,800
Three credits from math.

2079
02:31:55,800 --> 02:31:58,800
So there's some regulations around that.

2080
02:31:58,800 --> 02:32:04,800
But we had an extensive number of electives necessary to graduate which was causing a lot of students to not graduate.

2081
02:32:04,800 --> 02:32:13,800
So we wanted to make sure we were kind of in that sweet spot where all of our could take the courses that they wanted to that a lot of them the opportunity to move into the career and college that they chose.

2082
02:32:14,800 --> 02:32:19,800
After high school and still make sure they had adequate time within our schedule because we went from a.

2083
02:32:19,800 --> 02:32:23,800
I believe prior to me in eight hours schedule down to seven.

2084
02:32:23,800 --> 02:32:31,800
So there's some switching in the scheduling piece as well that caused our students not to be able to acquire all the credits necessary for graduation.

2085
02:32:31,800 --> 02:32:40,800
So it's definitely a scheduling piece and also to make sure that we're allocated with DPI and the statutes that they set for graduation.

2086
02:32:41,800 --> 02:32:43,800
So this one you're right.

2087
02:32:43,800 --> 02:32:54,800
I think Kristen it was around before we used to have the science credit be able to come in with eighth graders who took advanced science from different parochial schools and come in and get credit.

2088
02:32:54,800 --> 02:32:56,800
We realigned our science standards.

2089
02:32:56,800 --> 02:33:00,800
We've talked to the parochial schools extensively around that.

2090
02:33:00,800 --> 02:33:06,800
So we just needed the wording to match what we were offering within our K 12 system or four K 12 system.

2091
02:33:11,800 --> 02:33:13,800
Thank you, Amy.

2092
02:33:15,800 --> 02:33:23,800
Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor to approve the second reading of this policy 54 60.

2093
02:33:25,800 --> 02:33:28,800
Hearing no questions or discussion your voting devices now open.

2094
02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:38,800
And for new board members second reading means this becomes policy policies always go through two readings.

2095
02:33:38,800 --> 02:33:41,800
Before they become policy.

2096
02:33:41,800 --> 02:33:45,800
Okay, with anyone like to change their vote.

2097
02:33:45,800 --> 02:33:47,800
The vote is now closed.

2098
02:33:47,800 --> 02:33:51,800
And this motion carries.

2099
02:33:52,800 --> 02:33:59,800
Let us see consideration to approve the AGR achievement gap reduction 2026 spring data.

2100
02:33:59,800 --> 02:34:01,800
I will be looking for a motion, please.

2101
02:34:01,800 --> 02:34:04,800
I move to approve the AGR.

2102
02:34:04,800 --> 02:34:11,800
Data 2026 spring data as presented motions been made by Mike would you like to speak to your motion.

2103
02:34:11,800 --> 02:34:17,800
I know that this was presented in committee and it was thoroughly talked through so.

2104
02:34:18,800 --> 02:34:27,800
Any questions or discussion of the motion on the floor.

2105
02:34:27,800 --> 02:34:32,800
Amy, are there any highlights you would like to point out.

2106
02:34:32,800 --> 02:34:39,800
No, this is just concurrent with our data monitoring reports that we bring three times a year for all of the schools.

2107
02:34:40,800 --> 02:34:44,800
AGR reports are necessary by DPI that we get them approved by the school board.

2108
02:34:44,800 --> 02:34:48,800
It's part of our audit if we're ever audited as well under the AGR grant.

2109
02:34:48,800 --> 02:34:52,800
So we bring this separately just to make sure it's clearly.

2110
02:34:52,800 --> 02:35:01,800
School board approved, but then we dig deeper in our data monitoring reports to make sure that we show the board in the community exactly where we are on literacy and math.

2111
02:35:02,800 --> 02:35:13,800
Skills sets. So we break it down a little bit more in our data monitoring report and that's not state like necessary for the state, but we do that to be more transparent so that people know exactly where we are on our benchmark screeners.

2112
02:35:13,800 --> 02:35:18,800
We use aims web now. So if you look in the past on some of the AGR reports, you'll see fast bridge.

2113
02:35:18,800 --> 02:35:21,800
That was our benchmark screener. We're currently using aims web.

2114
02:35:21,800 --> 02:35:30,800
We flipped over completely this year for K 12 with that screener, but this is just kind of formality that we make sure that our.

2115
02:35:30,800 --> 02:35:34,800
AGR reports are board approved by you.

2116
02:35:34,800 --> 02:35:35,800
Thank you.

2117
02:35:35,800 --> 02:35:39,800

I wanted to say this is Jean again. Thank you, Kesha, for the work you put into your report.

2134
02:37:26,800 --> 02:37:30,800
It's also really helpful and easy to follow.

02:38:12,800 --> 02:38:22,800
Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed and the motion carries.

2143
02:38:22,800 --> 02:38:32,800
Letter F, consideration to approve the annual HRA contributions. I will be looking for a motion.

2144
02:38:32,800 --> 02:38:38,800
I move to approve the 2026-27 preliminary budget as presented.

2145
02:38:38,800 --> 02:38:44,800
We are on letter F. You can hold that one later.

2146
02:38:44,800 --> 02:38:48,800
Letter F.

2147
02:38:48,800 --> 02:38:53,800
The HRA.

2148
02:38:53,800 --> 02:38:56,800
Take two.

2149
02:38:56,800 --> 02:38:57,800
Round two.

2150
02:38:57,800 --> 02:39:06,800
I move to approve the annual contributions to the district's HRA plan for eligible staff in an amount not to exceed $68,475.

2151
02:39:06,800 --> 02:39:12,800
Motion has been made by Danny. Would you like to speak to your motion?

2152
02:39:12,800 --> 02:39:18,800
I think that that is a great asset to our staff and I'm happy to see that we are continuing that.

2153
02:39:18,800 --> 02:39:22,800
Is there any questions or discussion of the motion on the floor?

2154
02:39:22,800 --> 02:39:33,800
Yes, I have a question as a new board member. I don't have context from the past. I'm just curious how this compares to previous years.

2155
02:39:33,800 --> 02:39:37,800
As far as the amount that we are.

2156
02:39:37,800 --> 02:39:44,800
I have to defer that to Kelly.

2157
02:39:44,800 --> 02:39:55,800
Yes, so last year there was an amount of 158,000. That includes the $1,000 contribution for teachers.

2158
02:39:55,800 --> 02:40:03,800
The impact of sick leave buyout and then the impact of the retirement incentive contribution.

2159
02:40:03,800 --> 02:40:09,800
And as far as detailed and historic.

2160
02:40:09,800 --> 02:40:16,800
Numbers beyond that, those all should be in board docs as well.

2161
02:40:17,800 --> 02:40:26,800
If I look at past June, is this always come up in June?

2162
02:40:26,800 --> 02:40:29,800
I find it hard to find things in board docs.

2163
02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:34,800
Yeah, I'm not sure when the past administration has brought these forward.

2164
02:40:34,800 --> 02:40:43,800
Or if they have topic summary sheets like we do, we have detailed topic summary sheets that Mrs. Oginski has put into place since she's been here.

2165
02:40:43,800 --> 02:40:48,800
So I am not exactly sure what they've done in the past as to which month.

2166
02:40:48,800 --> 02:40:55,800
I would imagine it would be around March, April, May or June. It has to be done before June 30th.

2167
02:40:55,800 --> 02:41:00,800
Okay, thank you.

2168
02:41:00,800 --> 02:41:07,800
Deanna, would you please let the record reflect that I recused myself from the discussion and the vote of this item?

2169
02:41:07,800 --> 02:41:12,800
Is there any other discussion or question of the motion on the floor?

2170
02:41:13,800 --> 02:41:24,800
Hearing none, your voting device is now open.

2171
02:41:24,800 --> 02:41:27,800
Would anyone like to change their vote?

2172
02:41:27,800 --> 02:41:30,800
The vote is now closed.

2173
02:41:30,800 --> 02:41:35,800
And that motion carries.

2174
02:41:36,800 --> 02:41:54,800
Letter G, consideration of 2026, 2027, preliminary budget. I will be looking for a motion.

2175
02:41:54,800 --> 02:41:58,800
I move to approve the 2026, 27 preliminary budget as presented.

2176
02:41:58,800 --> 02:42:03,800
Motion made by Danny. Would you like to speak to your motion?

2177
02:42:03,800 --> 02:42:10,800
I will speak to this very briefly as then on the board for quite some time.

2178
02:42:10,800 --> 02:42:15,800
The preliminary budget is exactly what that first word says, preliminary.

2179
02:42:15,800 --> 02:42:21,800
This will change between now and the final budget that does come out that we vote on in October.

2180
02:42:21,800 --> 02:42:29,800
This just gives us an idea of where we are because there are factors and variables that will cause this change.

2181
02:42:29,800 --> 02:42:36,800
Kelly can opine on this if she would like to say some of those factors that could possibly change the budget.

2182
02:42:36,800 --> 02:42:43,800
So this is a 30,000 foot view of what a budget might look like for next year.

2183
02:42:43,800 --> 02:42:49,800
Did I explain that? Okay, Kelly.

2184
02:42:50,800 --> 02:42:54,800
Definitely. Yes, there are.

2185
02:42:54,800 --> 02:43:03,800
Many factors that determine what your revenue is, including enrollment and third Friday account in September is a large one.

2186
02:43:03,800 --> 02:43:13,800
And obviously we don't know what our revenue is until the fiscal year has already started. So that's one of the complexities of school finance.

2187
02:43:13,800 --> 02:43:18,800
Much like you're seeing with the pool, taxes fund.

2188
02:43:19,800 --> 02:43:26,800
Fund your budget and when those things when those numbers don't come out until after you're already operating.

2189
02:43:26,800 --> 02:43:36,800
That makes things difficult. So, yes, it's a preliminary budget that is our best projection with all the facts that we have at this time.

2190
02:43:36,800 --> 02:43:39,800
Thank you, Kelly.

2191
02:43:39,800 --> 02:43:45,800
Can I ask a question about page five and fund 80.

2192
02:43:45,800 --> 02:43:49,800
Which one are you looking at the June?

2193
02:43:49,800 --> 02:43:54,800
Never mind. I know where you are. Thank you.

2194
02:43:54,800 --> 02:43:59,800
Okay. Yeah, I think it's June.

2195
02:43:59,800 --> 02:44:03,800
June 20 preliminary budget.

2196
02:44:03,800 --> 02:44:08,800
This community service fund fund 80 and.

2197
02:44:08,800 --> 02:44:11,800
Kelly, are you there where he's asking?

2198
02:44:11,800 --> 02:44:14,800
Yes, I was just pleading for his question. Thank you.

2199
02:44:14,800 --> 02:44:28,800
Okay. The question is they're proposing that we're going to end up with a negative 869,000 in fund 80.

2200
02:44:28,800 --> 02:44:36,800
Is that presuming we're not going to get the past the bill for the 300? I mean, that's a mighty big jump up.

2201
02:44:36,800 --> 02:44:40,800
You know, that's a $700,000 jump up.

2202
02:44:40,800 --> 02:44:46,800
And the deficit of fund 80. That's what to me imply.

2203
02:44:46,800 --> 02:44:50,800
They're going to take in absolutely zero funds.

2204
02:44:50,800 --> 02:44:54,800
From the pool this year.

2205
02:44:54,800 --> 02:45:03,800
So that's an excellent question. And no, I did not assume that this school board was going to levy fund 80 funds.

2206
02:45:04,800 --> 02:45:09,800
Knowing that the $300,000 levy that has been done in the past.

2207
02:45:09,800 --> 02:45:14,800
Is not enough to fund the expenditures.

2208
02:45:14,800 --> 02:45:19,800
I am not going to assume or presume that the school board would put.

2209
02:45:19,800 --> 02:45:21,800
A number in there.

2210
02:45:21,800 --> 02:45:27,800
That's up to the school board to identify what they feel would be.

2211
02:45:27,800 --> 02:45:33,800
The best tax impact to impose on the taxpayers of the school district.

2212
02:45:33,800 --> 02:45:39,800
So no, I did not put anything in there for that. Again, we wouldn't know that number until the board.

2213
02:45:39,800 --> 02:45:46,800
Approves an amount that they would determine in the end of October.

2214
02:45:46,800 --> 02:45:56,800
That's also assuming there'd be about 112,000 ish of memberships and revenue that again still isn't guaranteed.

2215
02:45:56,800 --> 02:46:05,800
So I think we've talked about all the rest of the details earlier.

2216
02:46:05,800 --> 02:46:13,800
Kelly, I've got a question. I looked at the budget that was approved back in October.

2217
02:46:13,800 --> 02:46:29,800
And compared that 2526 budget from that meeting to your column of the 2526 budget on this preliminary for 2627.

2218
02:46:29,800 --> 02:46:34,800
And some of the numbers are off by a substantial amount.

2219
02:46:35,800 --> 02:46:39,800
The total ending fund balance on the very first page.

2220
02:46:39,800 --> 02:46:46,800
Under general fund fund 10 that account 9300.

2221
02:46:46,800 --> 02:46:49,800
In the October.

2222
02:46:49,800 --> 02:46:55,800
Budget, it was like 8.7 million.

2223
02:46:55,800 --> 02:47:02,800
And on your sheet, you've got 10.9 million. That's almost $2 million more.

2224
02:47:02,800 --> 02:47:09,800
And there are other ones like that, but I'm just curious why the numbers don't line up.

2225
02:47:09,800 --> 02:47:14,800
I was expecting them to be the same.

2226
02:47:14,800 --> 02:47:21,800
Great question. So school finance is very complex. So you're talking about two different funds right now.

2227
02:47:21,800 --> 02:47:24,800
Fund 80 is different than fund.

2228
02:47:24,800 --> 02:47:26,800
I'm not talking about fund 80.

2229
02:47:26,800 --> 02:47:28,800
Okay. I thought that's what you said in the beginning.

2230
02:47:29,800 --> 02:47:30,800
So I apologize.

2231
02:47:30,800 --> 02:47:33,800
Fund 10 on the very first page.

2232
02:47:33,800 --> 02:47:44,800
The ending fund balance that you have for 2526 is 10.9 million.

2233
02:47:44,800 --> 02:47:57,800
When I look at the budget that was approved by the board in October, it's 8.7 million. That's over $2 million difference.

2234
02:47:57,800 --> 02:48:06,800
Why are your budget 2526 numbers different than the approved budget in October?

2235
02:48:06,800 --> 02:48:11,800
So right now we have not done our fund 46 transfer yet.

2236
02:48:11,800 --> 02:48:17,800
And the budget is not our fiscal year to date is not over.

2237
02:48:17,800 --> 02:48:21,800
So that's exactly what Mr. Pyatt had stated that this is preliminary.

2238
02:48:22,800 --> 02:48:30,800
The ending of 2526 is not going to be finalized until the audit is over.

2239
02:48:30,800 --> 02:48:34,800
Your fund 46 transfer doesn't happen until the end of July.

2240
02:48:34,800 --> 02:48:42,800
So when you have funds that not have not been expanded, you have two choices.

2241
02:48:42,800 --> 02:48:50,800
One of them is to keep them in fund 10, which increases your taxes to your local taxpayers and decreases your aid.

2242
02:48:51,800 --> 02:48:59,800
And that's why we choose to fund fund 46. So that might be what you're seeing there.

2243
02:48:59,800 --> 02:49:10,800
So what you're calling budget 2526 is actually expenditures or actuals or something like that or predicted.

2244
02:49:10,800 --> 02:49:11,800
Right.

2245
02:49:11,800 --> 02:49:17,800
2526 is not over. Yep.

2246
02:49:17,800 --> 02:49:35,800
As just a similar question. I compared the 2425 numbers to the audit numbers and some of those don't agree either.

2247
02:49:35,800 --> 02:49:38,800
I guess I'm not sure what you're looking at right now.

2248
02:49:38,800 --> 02:49:43,800
Neither am I to be honest. I got I'm getting confused.

2249
02:49:43,800 --> 02:49:47,800
Yeah, it is very confusing. So I totally understand that.

2250
02:49:47,800 --> 02:49:51,800
I'll get the next time we look at the preliminary budget.

2251
02:49:51,800 --> 02:49:53,800
Yeah, in October.

2252
02:49:53,800 --> 02:49:58,800
Your audit isn't completely finished and closed out. And that's why.

2253
02:49:58,800 --> 02:50:00,800
Oh, for 2425.

2254
02:50:00,800 --> 02:50:05,800
Correct. Yeah. So when you're looking at your budget meeting in October,

2255
02:50:05,800 --> 02:50:10,800
you don't have finalized numbers and audited numbers necessarily in October.

2256
02:50:11,800 --> 02:50:15,800
And I know that seems confusing, but.

2257
02:50:15,800 --> 02:50:19,800
It's all the numbers don't get closed out until your final audit.

2258
02:50:19,800 --> 02:50:23,800
And that comes to the board as well. And when is the final audit?

2259
02:50:23,800 --> 02:50:26,800
Usually.

2260
02:50:26,800 --> 02:50:31,800
It's closed out and reported to the board in winter.

2261
02:50:31,800 --> 02:50:36,800
And when I say winter, it's because it's not an exact month. So every year.

2262
02:50:36,800 --> 02:50:40,800
You would be able to see that on when those things have gone to the board in the past.

2263
02:50:40,800 --> 02:50:42,800
Okay. Thank you.

2264
02:50:42,800 --> 02:50:51,800
Jean, I know the questions that you've been having about finances are the some of the same similar questions that I had back in 2017 when I came on the board.

2265
02:50:51,800 --> 02:50:57,800
And I went to the business director and he really helped me understand a lot of those. And I know other board members have done the same.

2266
02:50:57,800 --> 02:51:06,800
So if you could, I would set an appointment with Kelly and go and spend some time with her and she'll really do a dive with you in school.

2267
02:51:06,800 --> 02:51:09,800
Can we just do a Vulcan mind meld?

2268
02:51:13,800 --> 02:51:15,800
I am lost.

2269
02:51:15,800 --> 02:51:18,800
Star Trek reference. Sorry. Okay.

2270
02:51:18,800 --> 02:51:20,800
I'm sorry.

2271
02:51:21,800 --> 02:51:30,800
Okay. Moving right along. Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor?

2272
02:51:30,800 --> 02:51:49,800
Hearing none, your voting device is now open to approve the preliminary budget as presented.

2273
02:51:49,800 --> 02:51:51,800
Would anyone like to change their vote?

2274
02:51:51,800 --> 02:51:54,800
The vote is now closed.

2275
02:51:54,800 --> 02:52:00,800
And the motion carries with seven yeses and one no and the one no being might freeze it.

2276
02:52:00,800 --> 02:52:18,800
Item number five closed session consideration of a motion to adjourn into closed session pursuant to section 19.851 C and F for purposes of considering employment promotion compensation or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental

2277
02:52:18,800 --> 02:52:47,800
body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility and considering financial medical, social or personal histories or disciplinary data of specific persons preliminary consideration of specific personnel problems or the investigation of charges against specific persons except where paragraph B applies which if discussed in public would be likely to have a substantial adverse effect upon the reputation of any person referred to in such histories or data

2278
02:52:47,800 --> 02:52:59,800
or involved in such problems or investigations to with discussion and possible action on applicability of grievance procedure to employee grievance. I will be looking for a motion.

2279
02:52:59,800 --> 02:53:03,800
Motion is made by Jill. Is there a second to the motion?

2280
02:53:03,800 --> 02:53:04,800
I'll second.

2281
02:53:04,800 --> 02:53:22,800
Second by Kristin. And for our new board members, our closed session times is always given by a motion and a second. And then there is always a roll call vote to go into closed session. So Diana, could you do the roll call vote please.

2282
02:53:22,800 --> 02:53:25,800
Can I ask a question for a standing?

2283
02:53:25,800 --> 02:53:30,800
Not while the vote is in motion.

2284
02:53:31,800 --> 02:53:34,800
Angie Schreiber.

2285
02:53:34,800 --> 02:53:36,800
Kristin Matmiller.

2286
02:53:36,800 --> 02:53:37,800
Yes.

2287
02:53:37,800 --> 02:53:38,800
Daniel Nicholson.

2288
02:53:38,800 --> 02:53:39,800
Yes.

2289
02:53:39,800 --> 02:53:40,800
Jean Adams.

2290
02:53:40,800 --> 02:53:41,800
Yes.

2291
02:53:41,800 --> 02:53:42,800
Mike Parisic.

2292
02:53:42,800 --> 02:53:43,800
Yes.
