1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Okay, we'll go ahead and call the meeting to order.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
If everyone could stand for the pledge, please.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Diana, if you could roll call, please.

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Angie Schreiber.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Here.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Jill Madison.

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Here.

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Kristin Matler.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Here.

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Daniel Nicholson.

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Here.

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Jean Adams.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Here.

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Randy Myers.

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Bill.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Mike Parisic.

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Here.

21
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Melissa Cornelius.

22
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Here.

23
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Danny Piot.

24
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Thank you.

25
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
All right.

26
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
And Angie is going to go ahead and read our district mission.

27
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Our mission is driven by purpose, guided by integrity, defined by success.

28
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Our vision is to build a proud and go community.

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And our motto is don't talk about it, be about it.

30
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And we do have some people signed up for public comment today.

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
So I don't have Danny's list, what Danny usually reads before public comment,

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
so I'm just going to...

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Melinda, I have it.

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Okay.

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Thank you.

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Sorry.

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The presiding officer of each board meeting at which public comment is permitted

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
shall administer the rules of the board for its conduct.

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
The presiding officer shall be guided by the following rules.

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Public comment shall be permitted before the board takes official action on any issue of substance.

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Attendees must register their intention to comment in the public portion of the meeting

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
upon their arrival at the meeting.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Comments made by the public shall be civil in content and tone affirming the decorum established

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
for a school board meeting by the school board.

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Sparaging comments remarks about the school board members, employees, students, physicians,

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
position titles, and or district citizens shall not be permitted.

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Comments by the public shall be in reference to a specific agenda item.

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Participants must be recognized by the presiding officer and will be requested to

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
preface their comments by announcements of their name and group affiliation if and when appropriate.

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Each statement made by the participant shall be limited to five-minute duration.

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
No participant may speak more than once on the same topic unless all others who wish to speak

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
on the topic have been heard.

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Participants shall direct all comments to the board and not to staff or other participants.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Participants shall address only topics within the legitimate jurisdiction of the board.

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer no person may address or question board members individually.

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
The presiding officer may interrupt, warn, terminate a participant statement when the statement is too lengthy,

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant.

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Request any individual to leave the meeting when the person does not observe reasonable decorum.

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Request the assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
when the person's conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting.

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Call for a recess or an adjournment to another time when the lack of public decorum so interferes

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
with orderly conduct of the meeting as to warrant such action.

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000
A portion of the meeting during which the comment of the public is invited shall be limited to 60 minutes unless extended vote by the board.

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Reminder to board members and speakers, this is not a conversation between the board and the person speaking at the microphone.

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
The person at the microphone will be allotted there five minutes to speak and we move on to the next person who has signed up to speak.

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
So first we have Sarah Rapp.

67
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Well, thank you again for the opportunity for public comment.

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
My name is Sarah Rapp and I am speaking as a community member, a parent of a student in the district,

69
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
former Aquatic Center Board Member and the City of Antigal Park and Recreation Cemetery Director.

70
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I again want to stress the importance of the ability to have an open dialogue between the school board, the foundation members,

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
former Aquatic Center Board members, and the YMCA.

72
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,000
I am strongly advocating for the creation of a committee or the opportunity to be allowed to have open discussions,

73
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
which can deliver solutions regarding the current and future needs of the Aquatic Center.

74
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:04,000
All of the organizations mentioned are important to finding a solution that is reasonable and best for all parties and the community.

75
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I understand all the listed organizations have primary responsibilities and roles that take precedence in daily operations

76
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
and overall organizational missions.

77
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:23,000
However, I think it is paramount that we recognize that we all serve our community and we all function in public service roles,

78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
which is also primary to overall community success.

79
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Without our collective cooperation, our success as a community lacks the foundation to succeed and serve our residents and taxpayers.

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Regarding the Aquatic Center and the various roles of participating organizations, the school board,

81
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
you are critical to ensuring the continued success of a community asset that supports local business recruitment,

82
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:00,000
retention, and growth, as well as the numerous health, wellness, and safety benefits that have been identified in numerous public meetings prior.

83
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,000
The foundation, supported by generous community members and benefactors, has a history of supporting the district

84
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
and various initiatives that put our students and educators first.

85
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
They have come forward with solutions regarding short-term funding gaps and long-term sustainability

86
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
for the future of a community and district asset, the Aquatic Center.

87
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Former Aquatic Center board members have decades of experience in finance, operations, capital projects, daily operations, and policy.

88
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Their willingness to find solutions, offer support, and expertise, shares the burden with district staff, administration,

89
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
and the current sitting school board.

90
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:44,000
The Woodson YMCA brings her years of specific expertise in programming, aquatics, and facility management and staff training and needs.

91
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000
They have been an incredible asset and have been able to increase revenues, implement additional programming,

92
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:57,000
and analyze financial data in terms of daily operations, proposing solutions that best serve the district and community.

93
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000
They have an expert understanding of the pool and they are a resource that needs to be at the table.

94
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Due to the recent election, there are a number of new board members that need to be provided historical and relevant information,

95
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
so informed decisions can be made regarding the future operations of the pool.

96
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,000
The City of Annigal hosts a registration software which is utilized by the Aquatic Center for processing registrations and reservations.

97
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Additionally, the data can be used to justify programming, analyze usage data, and track memberships efficiently.

98
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Partnership between the City and Aquatic Center results in a cost of $1,200 to the Aquatic Center for use of the robust software.

99
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Eliminating the need for staff to physically process all registration.

100
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Also, the communication to those registered in the software is simply done through email.

101
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I mentioned the total cost of $1,200 annually because the financial budget document provided by the district listed software costs at $5,800.

102
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:06,000
There was also an annual postage cost listed in the budget, $300 that doesn't align with current expenses that I'm aware of.

103
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Garbage service is listed at $6,000. We currently contract with GFL annually for a 2-yard dumpster serviced weekly for $1,500, a little over.

104
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
There's also laundry that I have some questions about, but this isn't meant to be a brow-feeding session.

105
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
It's just meant to ask some questions and put some information out there.

106
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I implore you as a board to ask questions.

107
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:36,000
If you open to dialogue and information, consider resources and knowledge that is willingly being offered by volunteers wanting the best for all.

108
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Not only is it your role to serve the community by being a participant, but your role is also to ensure we fulfill the mission of the community and support solutions that strengthen us as a whole.

109
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Not just for the immediate need, but for the future of our youth and community.

110
00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:02,000
I'm confident that collectively and together, we can be driven by purpose, guided by integrity, and defined by success, building a proud, integral community.

111
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Not just one we talk about, but one we are about.

112
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Thank you.

113
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Thanks, sir.

114
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Thank you.

115
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Okay, now we have Tom Koss.

116
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Good afternoon.

117
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000
President of the board of the foundation of the school district of Annigal,

118
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
a 50-year financial advisor, tax preparer, etc., crazy.

119
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Anyway, I ran some numbers because I brought numbers to the board over the last few months and I went back to the audited statements for the fiscal year ending June 30 of 24

120
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
and saw that the total expenses for operating the pool were 536,000.

121
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:02,000
I went to the audited statement for the year ending 630-25 and found that they were 539,000.

122
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Now note, and I'm aware that that didn't include toilet paper, paper towels, other supplies that came from the regular school building, but take it as it may.

123
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Then the task force, as I was a part of on April 21, was given a budget that showed that this year ending this past June 30 looked like an expenditure of 634,750 dollars.

124
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Then in early May, Attorney Davis, Runday gave us on the foundation a budget that showed the total expense for this coming year.

125
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
The one we're now expected to be $781,000.

126
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Then at last Monday's finance committee, the finance committee members were told that it looks like it's going to cost a million dollars a year to operate the aquatic center, the expenses.

127
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So I started getting concerned because that's a pretty substantial increase over a period of a few months.

128
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
So I think there was a couple issues.

129
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,000
One is that some fund 80 expenses that used to be covered by Fontana are in there.

130
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,000
So I called an attorney from a large Wisconsin law firm whose firm works mostly with districts.

131
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:28,000
He told me if the district isn't using their own Fontana and such to fix a broken door or to do maintenance on their building, it doesn't matter if community activities, district activities, it doesn't matter what's going on inside it.

132
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
It's a district building, it's their responsibility.

133
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Said, so you've got to take that a little further.

134
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,000
The second thing I did is I went to the very first expense listed on the fund budget that Davis gave us, it lists $50,000 to clean the facility.

135
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:54,000
So I went to a couple vendors, I've worked with businesses for decades, and I got a vendor quote, this vendor will clean the entire facility lobby entry.

136
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
The entire thing for 19,000 a year, not 50,000.

137
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
We would be happy to have this vendor do it, I'm sure, and I'll support that.

138
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:20,000
So I'm just looking at these large increases in the costs and I'm thinking, you know, it's coincidental maybe, but these expenses have really ballooned along with the number of times I've stood before the board and said,

139
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:29,000
this foundation is willing to help support these deficits that are being run with the aquatic center.

140
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:37,000
So we are, but when the deficits grow like this, we have pause to be concerned.

141
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
So we're thinking and wondering about it, you board have to take care of all that.

142
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:52,000
I just wanted to put in front of you what the public sees and what we're looking at and the questions that we have.

143
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:01,000
But thank you for listening and anybody wants to see supporting documentation or info, I'm happy to share and work with you in any way.

144
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000
The committee Sarah mentioned might be a good way to get that all done, but thank you.

145
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Thank you, Tom.

146
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:22,000
And then Carol Bartle.

147
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I'm going to apologize, I have no voice because of the smoke, so bear with me.

148
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
I just have a few things about the pool that I'd like to say as a resident here.

149
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:43,000
My name is Carol Bartle, I'm a 38 year resident of Anago, a parent, a grandmother, a taxpayer and a voter of the Unified School District of Anago.

150
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:55,000
I have to admit I've become increasingly frustrated and discouraged by our finger pointing, misinformation and really divisive behavior I've seen by some of our residents.

151
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
And listening and reading on social media, it seems that the wants in this community are varied.

152
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Some people want to support sports complex, some want a new football stadium and of course some want the school district to increase local taxes to support operations of the aquatic center.

153
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Sadly, the group that I see missing at least on social media is a group that wants our children to succeed and learn the basic skills needed to be productive and successful as their adult lives.

154
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Just four years ago our district ranked in the lowest tier of state testing, but apparently very few people in this district understand what that means.

155
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:46,000
If a school goes four years straight at that level, as we were, the state, the DPI will move in and step up and develop an improvement plan.

156
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000
The current administration, our current staff and board knew that they needed to get to work.

157
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:00,000
They wrote up their sleeves and they did so and in two years the USDA has increased its ranking by 121 positions.

158
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
The reason I'm saying this is because I feel that is the primary job of the school district is to teach our children.

159
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:16,000
It saddens me that with all these accomplishments, what we're hearing is the criticism of our district.

160
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:25,000
This board, this district administration did not create this situation with our pool that has been an accumulative situation.

161
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:36,000
There are 17 municipalities in the unified school district and it's only the local taxes and going to the pool task force meetings

162
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
and learning what has been going on.

163
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I have not met one person in this community and I suspect it would be the same in the 17 total municipalities that realize it is only tax dollars that fund are fund 80.

164
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,000
I do think that sharing information and making people fully aware is something we need to do.

165
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I totally agree with having some type of a task force that includes everybody, including community tax paying members.

166
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:20,000
I think that we need to decide what we want and all the people that want these various goals for our school district and our community,

167
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000
they need to come together and they need to stop fussing with one another, put their money where their mouth is,

168
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,000
get to work and let the district do what the district's job is and that's to teach our children because those should be our priorities.

169
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
They are our future. Thank you for your time.

170
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Thank you, Carol.

171
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Okay, we'll be moving to the consent agenda. I'll be looking for a motion.

172
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
I have a motion.

173
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000
I move that the superintendent share the agenda and the attachments with the board in accordance with current board policy.

174
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:09,000
P-0, no, P-O, 0166 agenda.

175
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I believe we can discuss that during the superintendent report, but I don't believe we can add an agenda item at this time.

176
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
I believe it's relevant to the agenda, including the consent agenda.

177
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:41,000
What we're doing is approving the agenda and I'm suggesting that it's difficult to approve the agenda when we get it so late in the game,

178
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
not in accordance with current board policy.

179
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,000
So we can move to discuss that once we have a motion on the floor for the consent agenda.

180
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
I'll be looking for a motion.

181
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:12,000
I move the board approve the agenda June 15, 2026 and June 22nd, 2026 board of education meeting minutes.

182
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,000
July 13, 2026 HR finance building and grounds in CPT committee meeting minutes.

183
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
And July 14, 2026 policy committee meeting minutes.

184
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Report of district new hires, report of resignations and retirements.

185
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Financial reports for June 2026 and July 2026 consideration of current bills.

186
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Text number 9838 through 9894, and the amount of $26,601.94.

187
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:50,000
ACH is number 252601, 536 through 26270052.

188
00:18:50,000 --> 00:19:01,000
And the amount of $1,259,624.40, and why are transfers in the amount of $17,752.20 for a total

189
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
of $1,503,978.54.

190
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Thank you, Jill.

191
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

192
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I would like to see this as my words.

193
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Move the minutes from the HR and finance committee meeting as a separate agenda item.

194
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,000
So like the HR finance minutes as item.

195
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I in board action.

196
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
It might make more sense to do it as H and H becomes I.

197
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:09,000
She wants it to be I instead of H.

198
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Because it's relevant to the Clara Maccana.

199
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:38,000
We're going to move it to H or to I just because that's what I know.

200
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Okay, anyone else like to speak to this motion?

201
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
I need to abstain from check 9861 and 9873, please, Diana.

202
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
9861 and 9873, correct.

203
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Thank you.

204
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I would like to speak to this motion.

205
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Yes, she can go ahead.

206
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
You want to go?

207
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000
So I want to read from the board policy on the agenda.

208
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,000
It says the approved agenda shall be available no later than five days prior to the meeting.

209
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And supporting materials should be available no later than three days prior to the meeting.

210
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
So as to provide time for the study of the agenda by the board members.

211
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
That's in our board policy.

212
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,000
So for a regularly scheduled Monday board meeting, the agenda should be available to board members on Wednesday.

213
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And supporting materials should be available on Friday.

214
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
This is my third regularly scheduled board meeting and we've never hit those marks.

215
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
I've raised this individually with the superintendent.

216
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
I've raised it with the president and I'm not getting anywhere.

217
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,000
So I'd like to bring it up with the whole board and see if we can get board policy to be followed here.

218
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
It's very difficult.

219
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
This is a lot of information that comes to us.

220
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I want to give it the attention it deserves.

221
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
And I'd like, I think the policy is good.

222
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Let's follow it.

223
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:19,000
P.O. 0166 agenda.

224
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:27,000
I will say that when we put that policy into place, we had a week in between our committee meetings and our regular scheduled meeting.

225
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Versus now we have our meetings back to back.

226
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Not that it's an excuse, but it is the situation when we had that policy put in place.

227
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:45,000
So for us to have our committee meetings on Monday and then be able to create an agenda with that quick of a turnaround.

228
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:52,000
It may be something that we need to revisit that policy based on where our meetings are currently stood for standing.

229
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Or move the committees a week earlier.

230
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Or move our committees or it would actually have to be our board meeting back a week.

231
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000
I would think, no.

232
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000
One or the other, we would have to look at that closer.

233
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:18,000
But objectively you could also say increase attendance at all committee meetings.

234
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Because the items in the full board meeting basically are coming from our committee, like actionable items.

235
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:39,000
There's a lot on this agenda that isn't coming from the committees.

236
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:45,000
So would this be something that the policy committee could be and discuss at the next, like next month?

237
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,000
We could have a policy committee meeting and then discuss it at that time.

238
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:57,000
We could certainly do that.

239
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Does anyone else have anything to add?

240
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I agree with you Jean.

241
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
It's very hard to go through all this material.

242
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
There's a lot of things on here and it's hard.

243
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
I mean, we got stuff today at 3.30 and that's impossible.

244
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Especially when you're working during the day in order to be able to look at that and read it and research what you need to be able to make decisions here tonight.

245
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
So I think we need to address that.

246
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
The other thing that I have is I need to abstain Deanna from check number 1546.

247
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,000
1566 through 1569.

248
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:45,000
1583 and 0041.

249
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Thank you.

250
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Christian, I have another motion to that's relevant to this, but I don't know if I can make a motion while this other motion is hanging in the balance.

251
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
It would have to be a replacement motion.

252
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Oh, I don't want to do that.

253
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
No.

254
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
It's a completely separate motion.

255
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
It would have to be a replacement motion.

256
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Unless it's something that you can add as an amendment.

257
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
I don't think so.

258
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Can I ask what is the reason for moving the HR finance committee meeting topics to after the pool?

259
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Just so I'm in the loop on that.

260
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I said after.

261
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Would you like it before the pool?

262
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
No, I'm just asking why.

263
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
What was the reason for Jill's motion to move it there?

264
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Like what was the reason for it?

265
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000
We can discuss her points when we discuss it as an action item.

266
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Yeah, I didn't speak.

267
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Motion because the motion or I spoke to my motion of the of what we're on right now, the consent agenda.

268
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000
I'm certainly willing to share feedback on why once we get to that agenda item.

269
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Okay.

270
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000
And we cannot move that to before the.

271
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I don't know.

272
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000
I'm not going to do it.

273
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
I don't know for sure.

274
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Sure.

275
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Okay.

276
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
All right, we will go to the vote then.

277
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Anyone.

278
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Oh, sorry.

279
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

280
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Okay.

281
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Can reveal the.

282
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Okay, we have seven four and one opposed.

283
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,000
We will be moving on then to the administration reports.

284
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
I'll turn it over to Mrs. Oginski.

285
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
So item a we have monthly budget updates.

286
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Miss Fosbender is present.

287
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,000
If anyone has questions.

288
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Our director of people services and special education report is.

289
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
I was too slow, Glenda.

290
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Sorry.

291
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I move that the director of business services provide the board with a year to date report of actual revenues and expenditures compared to the budget every month.

292
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
I would.

293
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I would request that you would ask that from Kelly ahead of time so that she had time to prepare that and then CC.

294
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Danny on that for further.

295
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Well, we would approve it today.

296
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
It wouldn't take effect for this meeting.

297
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000
We can't make them.

298
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
We can't vote on informational items.

299
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
We can only vote on agenda board action items.

300
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000
But I'm making a motion relevant to the information that she's providing.

301
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
These are not actionable items.

302
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
It's only information.

303
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,000
How on earth am I supposed to request this to happen?

304
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Then you would if you would like something on the agenda, you need to ask the board president or in his absence, the vice president to put it on the agenda ahead of time.

305
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Can I ask if that's been requested to the business director?

306
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
I have not requested it before.

307
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Perhaps it could be something that working with the business director.

308
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
We could get that and it could become come and practice moving forward.

309
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I'm not sure.

310
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
I would agree.

311
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I don't know that it has to be something devoted upon versus just a conversation to request that.

312
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
But you're there to make an emotion.

313
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
It has to be an action item.

314
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Okay.

315
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
That is because the agenda has to be posted for 24 hours, I believe.

316
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Yes, but motions are how things happen at the board meeting.

317
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
You can only make a motion on a board actionable item.

318
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Can you find a rule that says that?

319
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I am not aware of that rule.

320
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
That is the definition of board action.

321
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
That is the definition of board action.

322
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Board action is the motions and approval of those motions.

323
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:46,000
So there are no motions during the administration report.

324
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
You cannot make a motion outside of board action.

325
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
If you want something to be on board action or be on the agenda,

326
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
you have to request it from the board president prior to the meeting and the agenda being posted.

327
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
I don't know about that, but I'll look it up.

328
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Okay.

329
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Sounds good.

330
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Okay.

331
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Item B, director of pupil services and special education.

332
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Ms. Euska's report is posted and she is present if anyone has questions.

333
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I don't have a question.

334
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
I would just like to formally welcome you to our district.

335
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
We are very fortunate to have you and welcome aboard.

336
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Yes.

337
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Same.

338
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Item C, director of buildings grounds.

339
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,000
The report is attached and Mr. Liederman is present if anyone has questions.

340
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
I just want to say thanks, Jake, for providing the written report.

341
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
It's helpful.

342
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Appreciate it.

343
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Item D, director of technology, yearly technology recap.

344
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:54,000
The report is posted and Ms. Mushak is available if anyone has questions.

345
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Item E, director of curriculum and instruction.

346
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,000
The report is attached and Ms. Dutsream is available if anyone has questions.

347
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Okay.

348
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Item F, superintendent report.

349
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:23,000
So first I posted about as we continue preparing for the upcoming school year in advancing our referendum project several important initiatives have moved forward over the past few weeks.

350
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,000
The district office and referendum projects, Jake and I met with blue design group to finalize design plans.

351
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:40,000
And to review FFNE, which is furniture fixtures and equipment selections and finalize the remaining design features for all referendum projects.

352
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000
These meetings represent another important milestone as we move forward from planning to implementation.

353
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Leader and me for John H. Bradley Elementary.

354
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Planning continues for the implementation of leader and me at John H. Bradley Elementary.

355
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:04,000
I met with Mr. Jokes along with Ms. Dutsream to develop our implementation timeline meeting schedule and professional learning opportunities.

356
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Our elementary leadership team along with Ms. Dutsream has established dates to work on site with our leader and me coach, Jess Nichols.

357
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000
There's tremendous excitement among the team as we begin this work.

358
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Leader and me aligns with our commitment to developing student leadership, strengthening school culture,

359
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:27,000
and providing every student with opportunities to build the habits and skills necessary for lifelong success.

360
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Policy Committee, we met to review and discuss updates necessary to ensure district policies remain aligned with the Wisconsin Act 89 and current legal requirements.

361
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:45,000
These revisions help ensure our policies continue to reflect best practices while maintaining compliance with state law.

362
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Updated policies will be brought forward to the board through the established review and approval process.

363
00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Anego High School Principal Search on Thursday, our administrative team dedicated the majority of the day to conducting round one interviews for the Anego High School Principal position.

364
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Candidates participated in a structured interview process that included responding to consistent questions and developing and presenting a leadership plan based on district and school data that had been provided in advance.

365
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:23,000
The quality of candidates and their presentations provided valuable insight to each applicant's leadership philosophy, instructional vision, and ability to analyze data to improve student outcomes.

366
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Round two interviews are being scheduled and will include participation from district administrators, staff members, parents, community representatives, and members of the Board of Education.

367
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:41,000
This collaborative process will ensure multiple stakeholder perspectives are considered as we select the next leader of Anego High School.

368
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:48,000
John H. Bradley Construction Update. Construction at John H. Bradley Elementary continues to make excellent progress.

369
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Updated progress photos from July 26 are available for review and can be accessed using the link provided in the board packet.

370
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Thank you for your continued support as we move these important initiatives forward.

371
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Each of these efforts reflect our commitment to providing outstanding learning environments, developing strong leadership,

372
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
and ensuring the long-term success of our students and our district.

373
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000
The link below that has the updated photographs and a thank you for your continued support and leadership.

374
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,000
As we prepare to welcome students back, I continue to be inspired by the dedication of our staff and community.

375
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Together we're building outstanding learning environments, investing in exceptional people, and creating opportunities that will positively impact our students for years to come.

376
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Anego Pride, Be About It, is more than our motto. It is the standard that guides our work each day.

377
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:46,000
My team and I look forward to an outstanding school year as we continue to put students first in everything we do.

378
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Thank you.

379
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Anybody have any questions for Mrs. Oginski?

380
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
I just have one quick question.

381
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,000
In regards to the Anego High School principal search.

382
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Yes.

383
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,000
What happens, I'm just trying to learn. What happens after round two interviews?

384
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
So after round two we hope to be at a place where we can make a selection.

385
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Okay, just like the committee or whatever is in the view.

386
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Okay, thank you.

387
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
You're welcome.

388
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Any other questions?

389
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Okay, we will move on to board action letter A consideration to approve the resolution of wearing the sale of $28 million general application promissory note series 2026.

390
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:38,000
I'll be looking for a motion.

391
00:35:39,000 --> 00:36:05,000
I'll make a motion to approve the resolution awarding the sale of $20 million general obligation.

392
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Promissory notes series 2026 as presented.

393
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Thank you, Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion?

394
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:23,000
I see that there is information presented and a speaker ready to provide information.

395
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,000
All right, we'll turn it over to Eric and Kelly.

396
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Good evening, everybody. Appreciate the opportunity.

397
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
I'm a director of public finance from PMA securities.

398
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:50,000
See some familiar faces here this evening, but wanted to walk through the execution of the competitive bid process that was done earlier today in relation to the final $20 million of issuance that was authorized by the November 2024 referendum.

399
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:57,000
As part of that, I always like to start with on the first page is giving a little bit of perspective in terms of where interest rates are.

400
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:09,000
So when the district is issuing the $20 million, we're doing that on a tax exempt basis, which is an advantage that a municipal entity like a school district unified school district of Annigal has where the municipal marketplace.

401
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
That's where you're going to get your lowest interest rate.

402
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:18,000
So what you're looking at here is a 20 year history of a issuance that's repaid over 20 years.

403
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:24,000
And you can see that the current level as of 717 2026 was 3.93%.

404
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Now, I want to highlight that that's for a triple A rated school district, and you'll see it again later in the report.

405
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:36,000
The rating for the unified school district of Annigal is a plus or about four notches below that.

406
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:45,000
So, albeit not apples to apples in terms of credit quality, it is the only strategic indicator that we have and we monitor on a daily basis.

407
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:57,000
It becomes a little bit more clear on the next slide where we look at dating back only to January 2025 and how interest rates are pretty volatile over that time period.

408
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000
You'll notice that on the top line or actually all three lines in April of 2025, there was a significant spike.

409
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,000
That's just an example of how the market even on the tax exempt basis reacts to tariffs.

410
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
So that was the indication of tariffs.

411
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Obviously those got paused and you can kind of see it settle down.

412
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
There late February, early March, there's a slight spike of 2026.

413
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:28,000
That was the onset of the Iran war and you can kind of track how some of those geopolitical events also definitely impact what we see in the municipal market space.

414
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
A little bit about the process.

415
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,000
So, we received competitive bids earlier today.

416
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:42,000
So, what we do is we work with Kelly, we work with Glenda and we work with Jake together a lot of information to tell the story about the Annigal school district.

417
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
And all the good things going on here from a financial perspective.

418
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,000
And we put that out to any underwriter in the world that wants the bid.

419
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:59,000
In this morning at 10 a.m. we received four credible bids with the winning bidder being recommended as TD Financial Products LLC with a true interest cost of 4.25%.

420
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Giving some perspective, another client of ours that is around the same size in the Appleton area received only two bids for a $14 million issuance.

421
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
They were one notch lower so their credit quality was a little bit lower.

422
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
And their interest rate was 4.5%.

423
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,000
So, just give you a little bit of insight on the same day.

424
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
How different credit qualities and sizes of issuance can make an impact.

425
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:28,000
And I think the district is finding itself in a very positive position in comparison to some of the interest rates we've received on the first two issuances.

426
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000
If you're into all of the detail, you'll find that on the next page.

427
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
So, this as I alluded to at the onset is the final issuance of $20 million.

428
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,000
You can see the first $14 million was issued in December of 2024.

429
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
A subsequent $20 million was done in July of 2025.

430
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,000
And then for your consideration this evening is the final $20 million.

431
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000
One thing that I would pull out is the highlighted blue.

432
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:00,000
So, when we do an issuance similar but a little bit different to like a whole mortgage, we're able to build in what's called a call feature.

433
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
So, all of the blue debt upon getting to that point.

434
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:09,000
So, for example, on the $14 million, you'll see in 2033, $560,000 is the first highlight.

435
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,000
So, when we get to 2033, all of that debt would be callable.

436
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:23,000
So, future boards can pay that debt off early if there's the ability to do so in equity available, which under Wisconsin Finance may be not possible, but who knows, seven, eight years from now.

437
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:37,000
But more importantly, the interest rate of 4.08%, if the market offers a lower interest rate, at that point future boards can consider refinanceing or lowering the exposure on the local tax levy to support that.

438
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:46,000
So, you can see on the far right, without taking in the advantage of increased equalization aid, which is a big component of the pre referendum discussion.

439
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Our goal is to flatten out the levy required to pay debt.

440
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
You see that happens at $3,761,000.

441
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:04,000
So, as properties are equalized values, our volatile going up and down, our goal is to have the levy required to repay the debt flat for as long as possible and that create volatility.

442
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:12,000
So, in theory, the mill rate associated with debt will be going down because the levy does not need to go up once we lock in all of the $54 million.

443
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
On the final slide, just some quick highlights.

444
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
I talked through some of these already.

445
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,000
But again, this is the final 20 million from the November 2024 referendum.

446
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:33,000
If approved this evening, what the closing date is is the date that funds would be available to the school district to begin covering expenses related to the remainder of the construction project.

447
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000
That would happen on August 10, 2026.

448
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Principal maturity are from 2027 to 2046, assuming no prepayments in the future.

449
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000
First interest would be in March of 2027.

450
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:53,000
So, the first impact on this issuance, which we built into the plan on the prior page, what happened this fall, as you consider your final budget approval and setting the tax levy.

451
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,000
The call date on this one is 2034, similar to the first 20 million.

452
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,000
So, those were aligned.

453
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,000
So, a large chunk of debt would be able to be refinanced, which we did strategically.

454
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,000
We talked about the credit rating and S&P A+.

455
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:14,000
And then the final AIC or true interest cost of 4.25% versus what we had been assuming through the pre-referendum of 4.49%.

456
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
So, some good news that we received in the market on that.

457
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
With that, I'll pause and, of course, answer any questions you might have.

458
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
I have questions.

459
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000
So, I have, this is my first experience with this kind of thing.

460
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
So, this may be, you know, whatever.

461
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:43,000
From what I read online, public school districts reasonably expecting to issue no more than 15 million in tax exempt governmental bonds in the calendar year are exempt from arbitrage rebate.

462
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:56,000
So, I'm assuming since we're going for 20, that we are going to, we are not exempt from this arbitrage rebate, or maybe we're just 5 million over is going to be.

463
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Can you explain what that arbitrage rebate is about and how that plays out?

464
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Yep.

465
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,000
And I'm going to talk a little bit about this slide.

466
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000
So, if you're interested in kind of tracking what I'm saying, that's where I'll be talking from.

467
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
But.

468
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Yep.

469
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Yep.

470
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Yep.

471
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,000
The financing plan, Hunter.

472
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:19,000
So, you are 100% correct that every school district receives a ability to issue up to 15 million dollars in a calendar year.

473
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000
And that issuance, if it issued on a tax exempt basis, would not be subject to arbitrage.

474
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,000
So, I use this slide because that's what we did in December of 2024.

475
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,000
We took advantage of that because we didn't know exactly the flow of funds and how quick that the construction project was going to ramp up.

476
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:39,000
We knew that we needed some infusion of cash for architectural and engineering, but we didn't know how much.

477
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:51,000
So, actually that 14 million is some of the last money spent because when we think about arbitrage and going above that 15 million dollar cap, we're subject to spend down requirements within 24 month period.

478
00:43:52,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And where we're at in the construction project is if this closes in August of 2026, our expectation is the full 20 million will be spent out prior to August of 2028.

479
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000
So, that two year period is really what we look at from an arbitrage perspective.

480
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:17,000
So, the answer to question is yes, we are above this and this is subject to arbitrage, but we do not believe that arbitrage is going to be an issue because how quickly these dollars are going to be spent throughout the remaining construction.

481
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Okay.

482
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Thanks.

483
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
So, when you say that, so when we do this, do we have 24 months in order to spend the money?

484
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
We have to spend it within 24 months.

485
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,000
You don't.

486
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Even in today's rate, you're earning less than 4.25%.

487
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:43,000
You're likely not going to be subject to arbitrage anyways because if you're investing, let's say you're going to be investing at 4% or less in what's allowable under state statute.

488
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:51,000
So, really arbitrage is looking at within that 24 month period, making sure that you don't earn more than what you're paying out in interest.

489
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000
You know, that's, it's not that simple, but that's the simplest way to understand it.

490
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,000
It does not require you to spend it within that 24 months.

491
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:12,000
So, even if, if you're below that arbitrage, which you're going to be, 4.25, you know, earning 4% using my example, which is pretty close, you can still go be at 24 months and not be subject to arbitrage rebate, which is paying Uncle Sam a portion of the earnings you make.

492
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:31,000
I'll also add, I think there's a typo in the, on page 2 of that, the thing that's in board docs under that issue 3, where it says 20 million issued August 10th, the first line, that first bullet after that.

493
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,000
I think that should be November 2028.

494
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:40,000
All those funds be spent by November 2026.

495
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Is that right.

496
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Issue 3, the first bullet.

497
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Current projections show all funds will be spent by.

498
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Yeah, I believe that's November of 2027. We can verify that in double check.

499
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:16,000
My understanding is that the majority of this 20 million will be spent by November of 2027.

500
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:21,000
Because a little, the little sub bullets under it say 100% spent by August 2028.

501
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Yeah, so that's when I was talking about arbitrage in the 24 months. Those are the requirements. So 10% has to be spent within 6 months, which would be February 10, 2027.

502
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,000
And then you can see that there's 3 more tests within the 24 month period.

503
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Okay. And so because you are projected to spend this, which thank you for pointing that out November of 2027.

504
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:54,000
That's just showing that we're going to be spent out before the 24 month period. Thank you.

505
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Are there any other questions?

506
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:02,000
I just want to confirm, am I speaking to it now? Okay.

507
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:10,000
That the bidder from TD Financial Products who had chaired earlier, I think I heard you quickly that bid came in at 10 a.m. today.

508
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Yeah, all four of these come in at 10 a.m. Okay. Thank you.

509
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:23,000
And second part because I think it's really, really important to taxpayers is if you could just repeat the statement you made about it is not anticipated that the tax life,

510
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,000
levy would have to increase. That is correct.

511
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:37,000
And why behind that? And why behind that is that's kind of what we had built pre referendum and what we're showing on the slide titled financing plan is we're getting your levy flat at 3.761.

512
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:46,000
So if approved this evening, those are actual levy amounts that would be required on an annual basis to support the repayment of the principal interest and you can see within the box.

513
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
It doesn't change materially. I mean, it's within a couple hundred bucks.

514
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Thank you. Welcome.

515
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:00,000
I just want to add one more thing too. I had not heard of PMA securities.

516
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
So I looked them up.

517
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:10,000
And what I read was that they are partners with hundreds of Wisconsin school districts.

518
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000
So I'm guessing you guys know what you're doing.

519
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,000
I think so. Yeah. Yeah.

520
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Any other comments? Okay. We will get the vote up.

521
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Thank you.

522
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Anyone like to change their vote? Okay. We can reveal the results please.

523
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:50,000
And it does pass unanimously.

524
00:48:50,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Moving on to be consideration to approve the transfer of fund 46. I'll be looking for emotion.

525
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:16,000
I'm up to approve any allowable surplus from fiscal year 2526 to fund 46 as presented.

526
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Thank you, Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion? I am not on the finance committee.

527
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:26,000
So and I did not attend that committee meeting, but I do believe that was on the agenda for the committee.

528
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:34,000
I don't know if a member of that finance committee would like to speak to that or Kelly, but I just would like the motion on the floor to be discussed.

529
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000
So that's why I made the motion. Thank you.

530
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,000
We'll turn it over to Kelly.

531
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:55,000
All right. So we did go through this in depth. I did put a lot of detail, a significant amount of detail for pages worth in the topic summary sheet that was scheduled or that has been in board docs well in advance for everybody to read.

532
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:02,000
So I'm not going to read all that to the board. I think you've all had time to digest that.

533
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:22,000
But just a very 10,000 foot view of fund 46. That is a strategy that our administrative team and the school board has been putting into place since we have been here to capitalize on interest, which is a significant taxpayer savings.

534
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:39,000
It also is able so that lowers the taxpayer burden. Instead of putting it into fund balance, it also is a long term strategic plan for capital improvement for your capital improvement plan for the district.

535
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:52,000
So we plan strategically with the budget and have put a significant amount of effort into realigning the entire budget starting in August of 2023 when I arrived.

536
00:50:52,000 --> 00:51:06,000
And since then we've been able to put millions of dollars into fund 46, almost 5.5 million and then have gained almost $400,000 in interest because of that strategic move.

537
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:29,000
This is also something that we put into place to ensure that our district has a long term capital improvement fund to avoid future capital referendums that we have seen in August of 2023 when we came to the school district that there hadn't been a fund that was able to be used to sustain the facilities that we've had,

538
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:39,000
which then caused the need for a brand new elementary school, which thankfully was passed and we can have some excellent facilities for our future kids.

539
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:47,000
So at the end of the fiscal year, which is June 30th, we still have bills coming in.

540
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:54,000
We still have the audit that's happening right now, so we won't have an exact amount for you on this topic summary sheet.

541
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,000
That is not something that is unique to our school district. That is how school finance works.

542
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,000
So that is why the motion reads any allowable surplus.

543
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:11,000
And I don't like to call it a surplus because we strategically plan and align our budget for student outcomes, which our outcomes are increasing.

544
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:21,000
So that strategic alignment with the budget is proven to be working well and also having that strategic plan of a fund 46 transfer at the end of every year.

545
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Thank you, Kelly.

546
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,000
So, Kelly, this is a budget surplus.

547
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:35,000
So if you do not use your entire budget in that year for things like curriculum,

548
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:45,000
instruction, salaries, facilities, all of those things, if you strategically align those so that you're able to have a transferable amount at the end of the year,

549
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:58,000
you can put that into a fund that then compiles over the years, you can gain state aid from, and you do not have to then go out for a referendum in the future.

550
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:07,000
So, yes, it's technically extra funds from that fiscal year, but we are planning for a fund 46 transfer.

551
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:16,000
So otherwise, in the past, people have came to the end of the year when you may not have filled a third grade position.

552
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:22,000
You might have $100,000 left in the budget for that, and you can do one of two things.

553
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Spend it on something within the last 30 days that might not be necessary to spend it down to gain aid.

554
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,000
Or you can put it into your fund balance, and then that hires your mail rate the next year.

555
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Or you can have a strategic plan in the beginning when you do your budgeting in August and October,

556
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:48,000
and come to the board with a plan of having that money able to be moved into a fund that's used for strategic long-term facility planning.

557
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,000
So, can you give us a ballpark?

558
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,000
No.

559
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,000
No.

560
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
We've seen how that is played out when I give ballparks and things might change.

561
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,000
I will not be doing that.

562
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Kelly, I've got a question.

563
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:15,000
I was reading the Wisconsin statute about fund 46, and it has a couple of time-related comments in here.

564
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:25,000
One, it says, we're supposed to have an approved long-term capital improvement plan for at least a 10-year period.

565
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Do we have?

566
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Yes.

567
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Yes, we do.

568
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,000
And an hour can I find that?

569
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:38,000
That's in board docs, as well as comes through the building and grounds committee, and then goes to the school board.

570
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000
I believe it was last approved in December of this year.

571
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:47,000
I'd have to double check, but December 2025.

572
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:54,000
I would request that Jake follow up with the last, I don't know offhand either.

573
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Jake, if I find it faster, we all could look back in board docs because it's approved by the board.

574
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:06,000
And the reason I find it important to comment on this is because that's what got us to the point of needing to go to referendum,

575
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,000
is we do have a capital improvement plan that is approved by the board.

576
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:17,000
The problem is that we've never had money in fund 46, so we knew all the needs that continued to grow and grow and grow,

577
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,000
but we had no monies in that account, so we could not care for our facilities,

578
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:26,000
which is why I got to the point that it did, and we ultimately had to go to referendum.

579
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:33,000
So this, I recognize that everybody sitting at the table currently was on the board when the referendum passed.

580
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:39,000
This was an important piece that our current administration found to be very important,

581
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,000
and the board at the time, and I would presume or hope currently,

582
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:51,000
is that we maintain a fund 46 capo improvement fund balance because we want to maintain our facilities.

583
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:56,000
We've shown that collectively for the existence of our district.

584
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:02,000
We haven't maintained our buildings. We've made that shift over the last several years to create a fund balance.

585
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,000
So it's super important.

586
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:14,000
And how about, do you recall the, when the fund was created because there's this, you can't spend money until five years after the creation date?

587
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,000
It's been created well over five years. It just hadn't had money being put into it.

588
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:23,000
So we are able to use it. Right now we're strategically using all of the funds.

589
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:31,000
That's something that our current administration has put into place where we are aligning all of our grant money,

590
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
all of our fund 46 money, all of our referendum money, and then our fund 10 money to be very strategic

591
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,000
and so that we can capitalize on interest being gained.

592
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:52,000
So right now our fund 46 is gaining interest while we use the referendum money in alignment with the,

593
00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:00,000
or with the referendum question that was designed by lawyers to ensure that everything in that was also in alignment with our capital improvement plan as well.

594
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:06,000
And then as we all know with construction, different money comes in, different bids, prices change.

595
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:13,000
So we've been very strategic in making sure that those two things are aligned while capitalizing on interest at the same time.

596
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:24,000
So we can have that capital improvement plan be a item on the building and grounds committee to discuss that a little bit deeper and then bring it to the board if necessary.

597
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:31,000
But yes, that is something that has been and is frequently referenced.

598
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
I think we just had it on our desk today when we were meeting with architects.

599
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:44,000
And so you, you are interpreting it as fund creation is, you know, just the fund itself, not when money starts going in there.

600
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:51,000
There are layers to that, but yes, I know for 100% fact that we are well in alignment with that timeframe.

601
00:57:51,000 --> 00:58:01,000
I don't have the exact date off the top of my head, but we don't need to know the date actually because we are well in alignment with that five years.

602
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Okay. Thank you.

603
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Angie.

604
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Thank you.

605
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,000
I just want to say Kelly, it's Angie.

606
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Hi.

607
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Oh, hi.

608
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Yeah.

609
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:20,000
I just want to say that we are very fortunate to have a very knowledgeable finance director that can think strategically and put these funds in place because I know when we were

610
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:30,000
going to referendum, a lot of the community was wondering, like, how did we get in this situation with our, you know, our elementaries and why are they in such disrepair and stuff like that.

611
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
And we just, we didn't have the funds for maintenance.

612
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,000
We haven't for like 60 years worried about maintenance.

613
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Now we are able with the strategic plinking and planning that we have because of having a, you have somebody in this position that can think strategically.

614
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:53,000
We will have, or we do have a fund set up for maintenance.

615
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:58,000
So we're not going to run into this disrepair state with our new facility.

616
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:09,000
And that was something that was brought up to me several times like well, if this gets approved, how do we know we're not going to end up in the same boat 30 years from now with, with the new high school or the new elementary rather.

617
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:15,000
And this is exactly how we're not going to end up in the same boat.

618
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,000
So I just, it's very important that we keep a fund 46.

619
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Thank you, Angie.

620
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:32,000
And I just wanted to say I, within this report that I put in, I did put historical narrative around the different grants that we've used strategically, the amounts of money.

621
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:44,000
So there are very specific details within here for the board that if you do have questions, you can definitely reach out and ask because there has been a very significant amount of work that's been done since 23 to be able to.

622
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:53,000
To be able to utilize millions of dollars of S or funds and build this fund 46 to where it is today.

623
00:59:53,000 --> 01:00:06,000
And I think that this board will find that to be excellent resource when you're thinking about just some of the things that fund 46 can be used for.

624
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:11,000
I know that Schofield Stadium had just come up in prior comments and prior meetings.

625
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Things that are really important to our entire community, the youth of our community.

626
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,000
I know athletic facilities have been discussed things of that nature.

627
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:35,000
So when you're thinking about fund 46 through the lens of students first, community wide, I think that this board can definitely think about some excellent ways in which to build the future of the district with such a significant amount.

628
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Of money within the fund.

629
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:43,000
And then also your lowering taxes for your local taxpayers by putting money in here.

630
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:49,000
So it's a win-win for the district now and in the future.

631
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Any other comments?

632
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Putting money in that fund also keeps our funding higher, correct?

633
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Correct.

634
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:11,000
So sometimes people get things confused because school finance is very confusing.

635
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:15,000
You only get a portion of money.

636
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:26,000
And depending on where you put that money at the end of your fiscal year, the pieces of the pie just to simplify it are state funding and taxpayer funding.

637
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:37,000
And when you put it into fund 46, your state funding, it's still the same total amount, but your state funding, your equalization aid goes up and your taxpayer goes down.

638
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:51,000
So one of the things that you'll notice when you look and I give detailed reports in my October budget meeting and you can go back into board docs and find decades of history of the mill rate.

639
01:01:51,000 --> 01:02:03,000
And you can see that before the district, before we came in 2023 and really utilized fund 46, the mill rate was significantly higher.

640
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:08,000
So you can see how that's lowered the mill rate for our taxpayers significantly.

641
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:17,000
And we have, there's some questions in the back, sorry, that was distracting.

642
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:32,000
But there is history of how that's definitely positively impacted our lower of mill rate, showing that now that we even have a $54 million referendum, we still have the lowest mill rate in decades.

643
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Any other discussion?

644
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:46,000
I just have one further comment because it is, Kelly brought it up and it prompted a thought.

645
01:02:46,000 --> 01:03:01,000
It's my understanding that $1 million commitment that was made to our grid iron club for the football field fundraising was rescinded or pulled back because of concerns with the district's ability to maintain our facilities.

646
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:12,000
And so I guess I'm looking, my goal right now in this comment is to highlight again that we are strategically planning for capital improvement.

647
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:30,000
And it's I hope that perhaps that donor may be willing to reconsider or that this conversation positively impacts other potential donors to see that the district is acting in good faith to maintain.

648
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Our property is not just now, but in the future that it doesn't negatively impact programs in which we have a lot of student involvement.

649
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Any other discussion?

650
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Kelly, when are you going to have an exact number for fund 46 in August, do you think?

651
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,000
July 30th is the law of when you have to have it transferred.

652
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:01,000
So we'll definitely have a report in August, letting you all know at committee and then at board meeting how much that was.

653
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,000
So it's cause for celebrations, kind of like Christmas in July.

654
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Any other discussion?

655
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:17,000
Okay, we will go to the vote.

656
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Not just me, Randy.

657
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Dr. Meyer.

658
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

659
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Okay, we can reveal results, please.

660
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:50,000
And it does pass unanimously.

661
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:57,000
All right, moving on to item C, discussion and possible action on appointment of impartial hearing officer for employee grievance.

662
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:02,000
I'll be looking for emotion.

663
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:08,000
I move to approve attorney Robert Burns as the impartial hearing officer at the rate of $250 per hour.

664
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,000
Thank you, Angie.

665
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

666
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:19,000
It's just something that we legally need to do, so no.

667
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Anyone have any other discussion?

668
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:26,000
How many hours would something like this normally take?

669
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:34,000
There's no way of really knowing because it is the second step in the grievance process.

670
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:40,000
So we are at the point where we have to have an outside hearing officer.

671
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,000
There's no way to gauge that.

672
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:52,000
I wouldn't imagine more than a couple of hours for at most, but it would be more than 10 hours or something ridiculous like that.

673
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,000
There's no guarantee.

674
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Well, do we want to set a limit on the number of hours?

675
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,000
We can't do that.

676
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,000
Okay.

677
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:08,000
It's part of our grievance process, so we can't limit.

678
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,000
That.

679
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,000
There's a time in here.

680
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,000
It normally.

681
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,000
The hearing officer, the procedure that they're going to go through.

682
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Is there going to.

683
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Set scheduling.

684
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Conference.

685
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
That usually takes about 30 minutes.

686
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
They're going to ask to receive materials beforehand.

687
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Depending on how much is sent.

688
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:44,000
There's probably going to be an hour or two of prep for that.

689
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:48,000
And then there's going to be the hearing itself, which normally lasts about.

690
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:53,000
Two hours, but there's going to be travel time included.

691
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:00,000
So I would say all in, you're probably looking at 10 hours.

692
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Mike, I believe you were going to speak.

693
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Yeah, I was just asking of attorney burns as someone that we've used in the past up.

694
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:13,000
Well, there's several new people here, so I guess we're just curious on the.

695
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Process.

696
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,000
So I.

697
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Oh, Davis, go ahead.

698
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:25,000
Yeah, I don't believe we've ever used attorney burns in the past, but.

699
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,000
One of the primary reasons for that, at least in my time.

700
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Working with the district is we haven't had grievances get to the point of.

701
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Independent hearing officers.

702
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,000
But Bob Burns is.

703
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:48,000
Incredibly well respected and does a lot of this work now later in his career.

704
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,000
And how was he selected.

705
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Or who's meeting what.

706
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Who's who who picked him.

707
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:07,000
That would be at the recommendation of our office.

708
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:12,000
I just, I had seen online that commonly.

709
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:17,000
I was appointed by the Wisconsin employment relations commission.

710
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,000
So I didn't know if that's.

711
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,000
Who we had used.

712
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,000
So that could be.

713
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:31,000
With respect to bargaining and collective bargaining and arbitration.

714
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:35,000
This was respect to personnel issues.

715
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Right. So it could also be with respect to.

716
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:45,000
Just matters involving police and fire.

717
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Where that is more heavily involved with the Wisconsin employment relations commission.

718
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Okay, thanks.

719
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,000
Any other discussion.

720
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,000
So this is the second step in the grievance process.

721
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:09,000
And then if it's not resolved here it's my understanding that it comes before the school board.

722
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Is that accurate Glenda.

723
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:20,000
Yes, I believe that to be correct.

724
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Any other discussion.

725
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:33,000
Okay, you're ready for the vote.

726
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Anyone like to change their vote.

727
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Okay, we can reveal the results please.

728
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Pass eight to zero.

729
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:50,000
Item D consideration to approve WIA senior high membership renewal twenty twenty six twenty seven.

730
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,000
I'll be looking for a motion.

731
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:57,000
I move to approve the WIA senior high membership renewal for twenty six twenty seven season.

732
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Thank you, Mike.

733
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

734
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:08,000
No, this come up in committee and Mr. Scholfield spoke about it there and it's kind of a routine thing that we do here.

735
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Any discussion.

736
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Okay, we'll be ready for the vote.

737
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Anyone like to change their vote.

738
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Okay, we can reveal the results please.

739
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,000
It passes eight to zero.

740
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Item E consideration to approve the co-curricular codes for Annigal High School and Annigal Middle School.

741
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,000
I'll be looking for a motion.

742
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:42,000
I move to approve the revised unified school district of Annigal co-curricular codes as presented.

743
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Thank you, Mike.

744
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

745
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:50,000
This was also at committee and Mr. Scholfield shared out a couple highlights.

746
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:57,000
We had the courts before, but we merged the documents together, added a few things, added some requirements for parents.

747
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:02,000
And one of the cool things I think are the new app that we're going to be using.

748
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,000
So everybody's using the same thing to communicate with everybody.

749
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:10,000
I think that'll clear up a lot of things for our families.

750
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:18,000
And one thing I want to add to that, Mike, is that I think at the committee, we talked about it being team reach and it sports you.

751
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,000
Correct, Mr. Scholfield.

752
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
So just clarify that.

753
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Any further discussion?

754
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Mike, summarize that all well and I agree with the sports you app being used.

755
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:42,000
I think that's going to be really beneficial for consistency at the middle school and high school levels.

756
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,000
And then it's for sports and co-curriculars as well.

757
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,000
I know sports tend to use apps a lot.

758
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:56,000
But if there's an activity or co-curricular that also uses an app for a form of communication that would also be included in this.

759
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:09,000
So it's again streamlining that form of communication and then also the open records needing to be able to secure communications.

760
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Should there be an open record to the classes and other component to that?

761
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,000
Yep.

762
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:23,000
And we have direct access because Mr. Scholfield is like our entire administrator over it.

763
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,000
Any further discussion?

764
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Okay, we'll be ready for the vote.

765
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

766
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Okay, we can read your results please.

767
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:42,000
And it passes 8-0.

768
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Consideration, I'm sorry, item F.

769
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Consideration to approve AMS Student Handbook 2627.

770
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,000
I'll be looking for a motion.

771
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
I move to approve the AMS Student Handbook as presented.

772
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Thank you, Danny.

773
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

774
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,000
No.

775
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Any discussion?

776
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:14,000
This also came to committee middle school admin presented and highlights from that is just they celebrated the expansion and offerings with electives is not the word I want.

777
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
What does the word I want?

778
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,000
CTE and elective for the class.

779
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,000
CTE elective courses.

780
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:30,000
So expanding that and really focusing on interest related to our community and student interest.

781
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,000
So that's fun and exciting.

782
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:37,000
And one thing with that relative to academic achievement is it provides options.

783
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:46,000
So if a student is not interested in graphic arts, they could take welding.

784
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
I'm just giving an example of that.

785
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:59,000
So now you're aligning interest which are going to reduce behaviors tied to avoidance and staff time and things like that.

786
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:05,000
So really looking at student interest and expansion of what we have to offer within the CTE program.

787
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:11,000
And I know that CTE in general has been a hot topic and concern about reduction in CTE courses.

788
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:18,000
So this is really good work at the middle school level and what has been put in the wheels for emotion lash.

789
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,000
You're ready?

790
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,000
You're in a half ago to expand to the middle school.

791
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:26,000
So this exciting work that the middle school is doing and implementing.

792
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:30,000
And expansion is the middle school leads to expansion at the high school.

793
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Yeah.

794
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Because it's the theater program.

795
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Any other discussion?

796
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Heather, you might be able to answer this earlier this spring.

797
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,000
There was discussion about hiring an egg CTE teacher at the middle school.

798
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Is that something that happened or did we realign?

799
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,000
It did happen.

800
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:06,000
I just want to make a comment on a thought that co-curriculars and CTEs are very, very important because when families are looking to move to an area,

801
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:18,000
they're often looking at what electives or CTE, whatever you want to call them, extra classes, that their kids will get it at the middle school and high school levels.

802
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:24,000
And so I just think it's really important that we take a look at that area and really focus in on that area.

803
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Because if we want, it goes into community, economic development, we want people to come here, we need to not only have good testing scores.

804
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:38,000
Obviously, we need to be ranked well, not at the bottom.

805
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:51,000
But then also, we need to be able to offer good CTE elective courses for our students to help them navigate their future.

806
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,000
That's all.

807
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Any other discussion?

808
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Okay.

809
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,000
We will take it to the vote, please.

810
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

811
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Okay.

812
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,000
The results, please.

813
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Passes 8-0.

814
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Item G, consideration to approve the first reading of Daniel Act 89 policies.

815
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,000
I'll be looking for a motion.

816
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:25,000
I move to approve the first reading of Niola Act 89 policies as presented.

817
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Thank you, Danny.

818
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

819
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,000
I just have a question.

820
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,000
I just have a question.

821
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:35,000
So when we look at that, now team reaches struck out of there for acceptable forms.

822
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000
So now does that have to go back to policy committee for?

823
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:41,000
No, because it was still the same concept.

824
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,000
It was just the title of the program being used.

825
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Good question.

826
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:54,000
Any other discussion?

827
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:00,000
I would just say that this probably looks very familiar to everyone.

828
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:07,000
They just basically changed the act that they were to change the act number.

829
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,000
So everything looks very familiar, but it was updated across the board.

830
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,000
There's no further discussion.

831
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:22,000
We'll take it to the vote.

832
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
Anyone like to change their votes?

833
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Okay.

834
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,000
We could please reveal the results.

835
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
And it passes 8-0.

836
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Let's be catching.

837
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Letter H, discussion and possible action on the continued operations of the Clara R.

838
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Mechanic Aquatic Center in creation of a committee with respect to any continued operations of the Clara R.

839
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Mechanic Aquatic Center.

840
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:47,000
I will be looking for a motion.

841
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:52,000
I move to approve the creation of a committee for the purpose of continued operations for the Clara R.

842
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Mechanic Aquatic Center.

843
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Thank you, Danny.

844
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:59,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

845
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:06,000
So is this committee going to be basically like the task force just reinstituted?

846
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Or how is that going to work?

847
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:15,000
Is this going to be where the foundation can come and meet with the selected members?

848
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Let's talk about financing and those types of topics.

849
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:35,000
I would assume that is the purpose of the committee, yes.

850
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Previous discussions that this was going to go to buildings and grounds committee.

851
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:48,000
So are we wanting to just incorporate the buildings and ground committee and then including community members?

852
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,000
As a subcommittee.

853
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:54,000
As a subcommittee and a building and grounds.

854
01:18:54,000 --> 01:19:02,000
And who will determine who's on the committee?

855
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,000
Whose vision is this?

856
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Maybe that could help because I think we're all kind of like, I don't know.

857
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:15,000
Davis, can you hear the questions that are being asked about the committee?

858
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,000
I can.

859
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Okay.

860
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:27,000
So Angie's last question was whose vision was this?

861
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:33,000
Well, I guess there was just a motion to approve committee.

862
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,000
So.

863
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:50,000
If it's a subcommittee of the buildings and grounds committee, it would be that the chair of the buildings and grounds and the board president who would come up with the committee members in my opinion.

864
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,000
Because it is their subcommittee.

865
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:57,000
That's the answer to one of the questions.

866
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Aren't you the one who suggested this at the?

867
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:02,000
No.

868
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:16,000
I've been beating this drum, but I was on a, I tried to get ahold of Danny, but I guess he's still out of town regarding exactly what this would include, whether it would include someone from the Y and community members or not.

869
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:17,000
And I didn't get any response.

870
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:32,000
So I think as long as it is inclusive and we get enough people to the table that have an interest, then I think it's a good thing.

871
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:44,000
I understand the task force didn't accomplish quite what we had hoped for, but that's no reason not to keep trying.

872
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:59,000
I could be wrong, but I thought that this, this is just my interpretation of this is because we don't have a fund 80 designated employee to talk about these things is that this committee would be established so that we could talk with the foundation and talk with other people in the community

873
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:08,000
so that we could start to establish some sort of baseline budget or whatever may be so that we can go to the foundation with.

874
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Funding requests or meet with the Y and talk about the certain topics. That's what I thought the committee was for.

875
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:22,000
I know that I believe last month I did bring up the fact of having a committee or something established.

876
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,000
I think it was going to be part of our finance committee, but then that got changed.

877
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,000
So that's what I'm assuming this is for.

878
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:33,000
I'm that's an assumption based on previous conversations that we've had.

879
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:45,000
I'm glad you brought that up because at the task force we had three or four meetings with the task force and it was determined at.

880
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:53,000
For sure the last two and the last last task force meeting I know for a fact it was determined that we.

881
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,000
The hold up with the.

882
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:01,000
Aquatic Center is the fact that we don't have a fund 80 position.

883
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:11,000
We don't have a person to be that person to go between the two entities and the school administrators.

884
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Are not to be spending their time on that, but we need somebody to be that goal between doesn't need to be a committee and I don't feel because they're going to have too many cooks in the kitchen.

885
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:31,000
We need one person that was that fund 80 position that the task force agreed on that we needed.

886
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:37,000
We've talked about it a couple times at committee levels at.

887
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:45,000
With the school board our attorney has said yes, this is that is the direction you need to go.

888
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:54,000
I'm not sure why it wasn't brought to the school board, which is our next agenda.

889
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,000
I don't want to.

890
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Yeah, I don't want to get into that, but.

891
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:07,000
I just think that that fund 80 position would be better suited versus creating a committee.

892
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:14,000
In order to move forward and be efficient and best use the time and get things going.

893
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,000
I still feel like a committee would be a good idea.

894
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:24,000
I just think the fund 80 person would be a good person to be the head of that committee so to speak.

895
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:27,000
But I think we still need to incorporate.

896
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:28,000
And that's fair.

897
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:32,000
Other voices before decisions are made.

898
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,000
My biggest question too is just how do you form the committee?

899
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Is it by application?

900
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:38,000
Is it by appointment?

901
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Is it by appointment?

902
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,000
And who's doing the appointment?

903
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Until we get a fund 80 person or do we table it until we have a fund 80 person?

904
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,000
I guess this is my biggest concern.

905
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:54,000
Did you talk about the board president of the committee?

906
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,000
I did not.

907
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:07,000
So for the task force committee we discussed as the board who would be on it and then reached out to those people.

908
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:12,000
Like the county sent to representative, the city sent to representative.

909
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:17,000
So we discussed together here at the table who all we would be reaching out to.

910
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:22,000
The board president does assign committees.

911
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,000
That is our policy.

912
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:36,000
But since it is a subcommittee of the buildings and ground I would think that the building and grounds chair would also be a part of that appointment.

913
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:47,000
My questions are simply what would make this different than the task force?

914
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:58,000
What would help presumably this committee would have overlap of people that were present on the task force and we were unable to come to an outcome?

915
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:04,000
So what makes this committee different than the task force in terms of the barriers experienced?

916
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:14,000
What would help the committee mutually accept the budgeted numbers that have been provided and shared out because that's a point of contention of us first them?

917
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,000
And you can pick which side you are in that example.

918
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Doesn't really matter.

919
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,000
It's still a us first them fight.

920
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,000
So what makes this different?

921
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:27,000
And then questions about how this committee operates.

922
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:42,000
I'm curious if there is, if anybody is aware of any committees or subcommittees at the city council or county board that have a subcommittee to oversee a 700 to $1 million operation.

923
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Like maybe we just use the model that they use.

924
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:56,000
I don't know that there is a subcommittee of citizens or people assigned to oversee a budget that high or I guess any budgets.

925
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:01,000
But maybe I don't have that information and think about that till just now.

926
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:09,000
But I just I'm not sure how this not opposed to this formation of a committee.

927
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:15,000
I just don't understand what differentiates or distinguishes makes this different this time around than the first time around.

928
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,000
I think those are great questions Jill.

929
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:28,000
I was not on the task force but I attended the I think I attended all the meetings.

930
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:32,000
I attended all the ones I knew about.

931
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:47,000
But it seemed like the task force stopped meeting at some point when there was conversations between the two attorneys maybe and that so they sort of sat back and let the attorneys do the talking.

932
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:55,000
So maybe one difference would be that the committee meet.

933
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:02,000
You know every month or every two weeks or whatever it is maybe more often initially or something.

934
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,000
I just can I address that?

935
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,000
What gene was saying?

936
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,000
Yeah.

937
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Okay.

938
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:15,000
So on the task force as I understand it how it was left was in the ingredients that we needed to have a fun.

939
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,000
We needed to have a fun position.

940
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Yes, you're correct that the attorneys were talking back and forth.

941
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:30,000
But the agreements was that we needed to hire a fun 80 position and that that was the role of the school district.

942
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:37,000
And so we needed to put in place all the procedures that to hire create hire a new position.

943
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:44,000
And so we can't move forward until we have that position.

944
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:50,000
And to kind of I agree with Jill if we don't have that person that's going to be the go between.

945
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:58,000
It's going to end up being kind of like the same thing with the task force and we're going to it's going to be very circular.

946
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:07,000
I guess my concern is in the information that was presented to the finance committee.

947
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:15,000
We need to have another $100,000 and fund 80 before they can hire such a person and how long this is going to take.

948
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,000
I do not I was not part of the task force.

949
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:27,000
But it's my understanding that there really wasn't a direct discussion regarding the differences in the budget.

950
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Nor has there been any discussion by the board regarding the aquatic center budget for 2627.

951
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:42,000
I would say the budget was highlighted consistently and a point of contention.

952
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:49,000
I'm not sure if you I don't know if I I'm just trying to remember uphand Dr. Myers if you attended any of the task force meetings.

953
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:59,000
I also did it along with Jean I was not on the task force but attended him and that that took a significant amount of time and quite honestly feedback.

954
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:04,000
I had heard or received from task force members in various capacities.

955
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:14,000
In entities they represent is that it was just an arguing match of this budget to that budget but nobody was focused on seeking a resolution.

956
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,000
It was literally a fight over numbers at which at the end of the day.

957
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:25,000
You have baseline numbers whichever side you want to pick for those numbers but you still have to fund the operation.

958
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:33,000
And that's where the task force also lost momentum was it just focused on.

959
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:42,000
This is incorrect this is correct this wasn't done this was done number wise but there I presented a solution I offered a solution.

960
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:50,000
I don't know if others did or not it wasn't part of the task force but it really wasn't solution focused it was a fight over numbers.

961
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:59,000
So I'm sorry that I'm not looking at you and answering your question directly it's just how the state was laid out but number finances that was that was the focal point.

962
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:18,000
I think everybody wants someone available who can start getting the repairs that need to be done to the pool and I guess my concern is it could take us some time to get this person established and I think in the interim we should have input

963
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:26,000
from those people who have been most involved with the operation of the pool over the last 25 years.

964
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Again I'm just going to go refer back to the task force and that the members of the task force from the foundation and others along with members that were on there from the school

965
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:55,000
board and such came to the agreeance that yes we do indeed in need this fund 80 person position to be created and hired and that really was the the linchpin.

966
01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:11,000
I understand what you're saying I hear you but I'm saying that that's that's really where we're at and if that means that we had talked about the foundations you know helping supply some funds and you know and everything like that and that.

967
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:16,000
That was really part of it so we can't move forward without that position.

968
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:25,000
I guess in our discussion that we had at the finance committee Linda related that it was the position of the board members of the task force.

969
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:32,000
This is what needed to be done but not the remainder of the task force is that incorrect.

970
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:40,000
As I as I understand it because I see Tom madly waving his hands over there.

971
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:54,000
I mean I've had several discussion with with Tom and other people and they did not feel that they were the ones that they had agreed that this was the way we need for it.

972
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:04,000
I think we do need a fund 80 person don't get me wrong we clearly need somebody to wreck this but I'm not convinced that it needs to be a full time position.

973
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:09,000
I question what they're going to be doing all day.

974
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Okay this is a difficult discussion because the next agenda item and I respect why it was place where it is.

975
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,000
I think it's just going to it.

976
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:29,000
This is hard because here we are talking about the need for this position that we actually could not vote on creating tonight so it makes this discussion really really difficult.

977
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:39,000
And we're spinning our wheels and the same types of discussions I guess it's getting irritating and it's I'm just venting at this point on behalf of all of us.

978
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,000
We want a solution we want a resolution.

979
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:47,000
If I may chime in.

980
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:58,000
Going back to the original question of kind of what the vision of this task or this committee would be it would not be that of the task force.

981
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:21,000
This committee I think as Danny put it would be to fill the fund 80 position or serve in lieu of that. So the committee would not be comprised of over a dozen citizens and board members.

982
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:48,000
It would be a more focused group to communicate directly with administration and the board and the why and they would basically be the individuals who are running or overseeing the operations of the aquatic center.

983
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:53,000
So that burden could be lifted off of administration.

984
01:33:53,000 --> 01:34:07,000
Okay, so it's not the idea would not be to reform the task force and to begin again all of the conversations that were being had at the task force level.

985
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Okay, so what Davis.

986
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:25,000
In my understanding correctly that the committee would would be the ones to create the fund 80 position and go through the hiring process interviews and stuff like that. Is that what you're saying? No.

987
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,000
No, the task force would be.

988
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:46,000
So just the other day this situation arose where I believe the why needed some supplies ordered and they reached out to administration asked the administration to order those supplies.

989
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:53,000
That would be a duty that would typically be done by a fund 80 employee.

990
01:34:53,000 --> 01:35:00,000
And so administration was concerned about spending time to do that.

991
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:08,000
I understand that we're talking about a relatively nominal small amount of time, but as these things continue to creep up.

992
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:13,000
They take a significant portion of the day.

993
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:19,000
And so the idea was that these things could be tabled.

994
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:26,000
And on a monthly basis, the YMCA could come to the committee and say these are things we need.

995
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:35,000
The committee could discuss, consider, take action on, and then have a direction and be given to.

996
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:46,000
Administration to place that order or be given to the YMCA to place that order and have it be.

997
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:53,000
Okay, so then we would not. Are you saying that we would no longer need to the fund 80 position? Is that what?

998
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:58,000
Obviously this is, as you hear me explaining an efficient.

999
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Process.

1000
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:13,000
So I do not, if I were to advise the board on the best course of action, it would be to create a fund 80 position and have that person.

1001
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:18,000
Over see the operations of the aquatic center.

1002
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,000
On a day to day basis.

1003
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:26,000
And be that go between between the YMCA and the district.

1004
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:31,000
But if that position isn't going to exist.

1005
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,000
Then there needs to be.

1006
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:39,000
A gap filled and that gap should be filled by a subcommittee.

1007
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:44,000
It should not be placed on the shoulders of administration, given the.

1008
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Fiscal constraints.

1009
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
So I do want to just outline that.

1010
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:58,000
A lot of what Davis just said is, is what I was trying to intend last month when we were talking about this, but also can't express.

1011
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:03,000
I can't talk too much about it because it's on the next item as to why we decided not to.

1012
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Approve it at committee level.

1013
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,000
But I think that.

1014
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,000
For this committee, just to establish a clean.

1015
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,000
Form a communication.

1016
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Come together.

1017
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,000
We've we've we've had voting now.

1018
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,000
We've got we had some of the money come in from the foundation.

1019
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:23,000
Get the foundation at the table.

1020
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,000
Talk to people get city reps and.

1021
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,000
Form a former board member from the pool.

1022
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:34,000
And just get us in the same room and have an open, honest, transparent conversation.

1023
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:42,000
And then put forward the recommendation of how much we feel that a fund 80 person would be and then the district administration would have to go for that.

1024
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Or review it.

1025
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:52,000
It's just I just think that at this point, if we don't have this committee, there's just no conversations about anything.

1026
01:37:52,000 --> 01:38:00,000
And I would just add even if we did approve another position that there's not going to be someone here to do it tomorrow.

1027
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:04,000
So I think that we're at a position that we need.

1028
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:08,000
A subgroup of people to communicate to the board.

1029
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:16,000
And maybe if that committee is only board members, you're still opening up the communication and invitation for other people.

1030
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:21,000
If you're needing help or advisement and opinions.

1031
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:26,000
And by having it be a committee versus the task force, there'll be a set agenda with goals for each meeting.

1032
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:30,000
And I think that that was maybe a missing piece of the task force as well.

1033
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Yes, and then with having the wide there, we can whoever's on there can talk about.

1034
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:40,000
You know, this is what we're bringing in. This is what we thought we were going to bring in and we didn't.

1035
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,000
So we need X amount of dollars now for the next three to six months.

1036
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Just have some sort of conversation around that.

1037
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:59,000
That was what my intention was with bringing up a committee like this.

1038
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:04,000
So with this fall under open meetings, I would assume so because it's a subcommittee.

1039
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:10,000
We'd have to post an agenda and keep minutes and everything.

1040
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:16,000
Okay.

1041
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:22,000
I'm just going to ask for clarification and say, if I understand what was being said,

1042
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:31,000
the committee in the interim would kind of take over the role of what the goal for that fund 80 position is.

1043
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:39,000
And then once a fund 80 position is hired, it would then just convert to more of a support role.

1044
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:44,000
I guess we would have to revisit at that time if we, you know, get rid of the committee, but we still, you know,

1045
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:49,000
you still have to have that communication piece between the aquatic center, even if you're not making those day to day decisions.

1046
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:53,000
There still needs to be that committee that conversation piece.

1047
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:57,000
I would also note that language is important.

1048
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:01,000
So once a fund 80 position is hired, I don't, we cannot say that at this moment.

1049
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,000
We don't have an approved fund 80 position.

1050
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:09,000
So currently the unified school district of Annago is not supporting a fund 80 position.

1051
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,000
So let's work towards that.

1052
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:16,000
But right now we don't have that even approved to create a job description and posting.

1053
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:21,000
So in this discussion, do we need to talk about what this committee looks like?

1054
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:27,000
Or are we just saying, yes, we want to create a committee and then who decides what it looks like?

1055
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:33,000
We would decide to create the committee and then Danny as the board president sets that committee.

1056
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:39,000
So, okay, so he would decide any of the other committees.

1057
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:45,000
So can I make a motion to vote on something?

1058
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:49,000
You could amend this motion because there is a motion on the floor.

1059
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:52,000
The motion is to create a committee, is that correct?

1060
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,000
That is correct, yes.

1061
01:40:54,000 --> 01:41:07,000
I would like to add the amendment that the committee includes a representative from the Y community members.

1062
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:12,000
Particularly from the foundation.

1063
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Of which Mr. Cost is the president of.

1064
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:26,000
And other community members as.

1065
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:34,000
Mr. Payette and the chairman of buildings and grounds would see fit to add.

1066
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:52,000
Would you like to speak to your motion?

1067
01:41:52,000 --> 01:42:11,000
I just really think if we have a committee made up of board members that does not accomplish what we need to have to get strong community support and funding that's sorely needed for funding from our community.

1068
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:26,000
So essentially recreating the task force that was in place, but didn't go anywhere.

1069
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:36,000
No, didn't you hear what Mr. Rundi just said it would not be a recreation of the task force.

1070
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:44,000
It would be something to get things going to get the repairs that need to be done.

1071
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Until we have a fund 80 person in place.

1072
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:54,000
Maybe also to talk about whether this needs to be a full time or a part time position.

1073
01:42:54,000 --> 01:43:05,000
Respectfully, I think that was the exact reason or really close to how the task force was created with the same representatives.

1074
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:10,000
On the task force that are offered within your amended motion.

1075
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:18,000
I just want to make sure that it doesn't become unclear what the purpose and role of this committee is that it doesn't get blurred.

1076
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:23,000
So I feel like it's currently unclear.

1077
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:30,000
And if we are essentially recreating using different language by having the same people at the table.

1078
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:34,000
I just feel like it's going to get messy.

1079
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:38,000
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing and just we didn't get anywhere.

1080
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,000
I just want to say I agree with you, Jill.

1081
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:48,000
I think when Davis said it was not like the task force.

1082
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:53,000
That was when we were looking at a motion to create a committee as general.

1083
01:43:54,000 --> 01:44:03,000
But if we want to start naming specifics like like Randy listed off, then it really is starting to look again like a smaller version of the task force.

1084
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:06,000
Good, bad or otherwise.

1085
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:12,000
I just want to say that I think it's better to leave it general.

1086
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:22,000
And then we can we can work from there versus having very specifics in this motion.

1087
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Sorry, you say and like start with a committee, just a subcommittee of just board members from the building and ground.

1088
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:36,000
And then that committee can expand or add or invite.

1089
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Is that what you need?

1090
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:39,000
Yeah, like, like we could have a subcommittee.

1091
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:45,000
Okay. So what I'm envisioning would be like we the subcommittee would meet.

1092
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:50,000
And then we would it would be made up as a board members and.

1093
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Possibly the Y or something like that. But then from there, we would decide, okay, we were looking at having one person from the.

1094
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Community or or none. I don't know. Or we're having one person from the foundation or none. I don't know. But that's a discussion that we would have at that level.

1095
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Not here.

1096
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:16,000
So I'm looking at a paragraph from back in the.

1097
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:20,000
HR finance committee meeting.

1098
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:29,000
The topic summary sheet on the creation of the fund 80 position. I'm looking at a paragraph in that and I'm thinking we could kind of steal that and modify it.

1099
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:35,000
This would fit with Davis's contention that this is kind of a gap filling this committee.

1100
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:44,000
So instead of the administrative coordinator, we would say the committee would work collaboratively with YMCA staff.

1101
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:50,000
The Annago schools foundation district administration and the board of education.

1102
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:57,000
Coordinate operational initiatives support programming and facility needs assist with financial oversight of fund 80.

1103
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:01,000
Facilitate communication among partners and sure that all stakeholders.

1104
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:10,000
I mean that that general description of what had been put forward as a potential action item for the fund 80 position.

1105
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Is I think what we're shooting for on potentially a temporary basis with this committee.

1106
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:22,000
So not the same as the task force.

1107
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,000
So that's a fair point and that makes sense Gene.

1108
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:32,000
And as you were saying that and I'm reading my notes from attorney run D. I'm wondering if we're just over thinking this.

1109
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:39,000
So going back to what attorney run D said it would be to discuss consider and take action on items needed by the YMCA.

1110
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:49,000
So if we simplify this to a subcommittee within building and grounds with saying consistent that the board president appoints people to be on that subcommittee.

1111
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,000
We are simply no different than building and grounds CNI.

1112
01:46:53,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Who am I missing that that comes to us at committee to say we need to purchase curriculum at a cost of X amount of dollars.

1113
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:07,000
And we discuss that committee and then we make a motion if that passes be approved at the board level.

1114
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:13,000
So this I'm just wondering maybe we're just overthinking and it's appointing a small group of people that are simply.

1115
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:16,000
Here's the purchase request needed.

1116
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:22,000
It needs to go to committee first before the full board and we're just kind of the legays and no different than what our current committee structure is.

1117
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:23,000
Right.

1118
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:34,000
And I think you could say then that the members of the committee would not have the why would not have to have a member on committee.

1119
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:45,000
You know as long as that committee is actually working collaboratively with the Y and with the foundation and with the administration and with the board.

1120
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,000
Right.

1121
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:47,000
Yeah.

1122
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:57,000
So it's a function as we are continuing our normal and customary way in which we maintain committees because I'm looking at my CNI director and I'm like she's not appointed to my committee.

1123
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:58,000
I don't believe.

1124
01:47:58,000 --> 01:47:59,000
Right.

1125
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:00,000
But you participate.

1126
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:05,000
You're like the focal point because you're the one that says here's the what we're needing.

1127
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:09,000
Here's all the work we did to prepare it to say this is why we need it.

1128
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:13,000
So yeah, like we would be.

1129
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:17,000
By default in how committees operate working with the YMCA.

1130
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:21,000
They would be coming just to say to us whoever that is to say here.

1131
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:27,000
Here are the discussions considerations or payments needed.

1132
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:35,000
Diana, can you read back to us what you have for the amendment, please.

1133
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:40,000
The amendment is to.

1134
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:48,000
And then to add YMCA members, community members and pool foundation members to the committee.

1135
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:57,000
YMCA community members foundation members and community members as director of building grounds or board presidency fit.

1136
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:06,000
We have any more discussion on the amendment of the motion.

1137
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:16,000
I'm going to vote against it and the reason being is because I think we need to leave it very generalized.

1138
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,000
Kind of going up on what Jill said.

1139
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:24,000
You know, I mean, just I think work is to work as a committee like how we have our other committees.

1140
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:27,000
And if we start naming off like that, then.

1141
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:31,000
We're getting too far into details and weeds and it's just going to.

1142
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:35,000
I just have a procedural question.

1143
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,000
So the amendment is on the floor.

1144
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:39,000
That's what we're going to vote on.

1145
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:44,000
What happens if that does not pass to does it revert to voting on the original.

1146
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,000
Okay, thank you.

1147
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,000
So I do I do just want to comment to Angie.

1148
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:56,000
So I feel at this stage, if we do not have specific people at these conversations.

1149
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:59,000
We're going to get nowhere.

1150
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:00,000
I do.

1151
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,000
I think we have to have some of these key people.

1152
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:08,000
If we're going to be asking the foundation for large sums of money, they should be at the table.

1153
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:16,000
They have to be there for us to have a conversation about finance and say, Hey, we need X amount of money based on the wise.

1154
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:17,000
Information.

1155
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:18,000
We're at this amount.

1156
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:19,000
We need X amount.

1157
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:23,000
If we don't have them there and we just leave it as general and it's just us board members.

1158
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:28,000
I have no more insight into the districts fund 80 outside of our monthly meetings.

1159
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:34,000
I mean, I have no idea what's going on at the pool on a transaction level or any of that on a daily basis.

1160
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:41,000
So I think I am voting for this because I feel we need that those specific people at this committee.

1161
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,000
And I appreciate that.

1162
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:48,000
Again, like, I don't think that they need to be a part of the committee.

1163
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,000
Yes, I want to collaborate with them.

1164
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,000
We would collaborate with, you know, the YMCA, the foundation.

1165
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:59,000
We want that collaboration, but kind of going back to what was said before, you know, like our.

1166
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:03,000
You know, our administrative team, like our.

1167
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:08,000
They're not part of the committee, but yet they're they're giving information.

1168
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:12,000
So it's the collaboration will will be there.

1169
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:15,000
You know, they'll definitely they'll be invited to be at the table.

1170
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:19,000
We want to work with them, but I don't feel like they need to be part of the committee.

1171
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,000
Does that make sense?

1172
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,000
Because then we're kind of tying our hands.

1173
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:28,000
If we do that, I feel.

1174
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:31,000
And I don't want circular.

1175
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Meetings.

1176
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:36,000
Because that's frustrating for everybody.

1177
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:49,000
And I would argue, I would say that when we're making these types of decisions, like, like financial decisions, like how much we need to ask the foundation for or should we change what we're charging the hospital or what that decision is.

1178
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,000
And that's the responsibility of the board to make those decisions.

1179
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:56,000
And ultimately, if you're having community members on the board.

1180
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:00,000
They shouldn't have a vote as to how those things change.

1181
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:07,000
They can have their input and provide the information, but they shouldn't be the ultimate decision maker.

1182
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:13,000
That's the responsibility of the board to make the school board to make those decisions.

1183
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,000
Yeah, I agree with you.

1184
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:19,000
Yeah, but I just think that we need, we do need to have their input.

1185
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:20,000
Clever.

1186
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:27,000
Just specific people. I mean, I don't think we need, we don't need 10 to 12 people on this committee. That's just going to get too much.

1187
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:31,000
Davis, were you going to add something?

1188
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:37,000
I was just going to add that they are certainly welcome to come to.

1189
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:43,000
Meetings at the invite of the committee and have that discussion.

1190
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:46,000
I would, I'm not sure.

1191
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:52,000
Chris was necessarily heading there, but as she was speaking,

1192
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:57,000
it kind of rang in my year conflict of interest.

1193
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:02,000
So, you know, that is another thing that has to be taken into account.

1194
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:08,000
When, you know, if you have not to say that anybody on the foundation.

1195
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:18,000
Isn't doesn't have a high degree of integrity, but you don't want people in those situations who.

1196
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:23,000
Have a financial stake in the decisions.

1197
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:28,000
If they're coming to the committee and saying, yes, we are willing to do this.

1198
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:29,000
Fantastic.

1199
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:35,000
But there is a certain pressure if they are on the committee.

1200
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:43,000
So, at the end of the day, we can call this a different committee.

1201
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:46,000
We can do all kinds of different things.

1202
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:51,000
But in order for anything to be productive, we have to have the ability to have conversation.

1203
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:55,000
We can't come to a meeting and say, well, I approve this and that's it.

1204
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:58,000
There's no conversation that happens.

1205
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:02,000
And so, the Aquatic Center is part of the school district.

1206
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:07,000
So, it could be on the buildings and grounds committee agenda.

1207
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:15,000
And we could work through those things at that level, but we need the information in order to make decisions.

1208
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:19,000
We need to have those audited budget reports.

1209
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:24,000
We need to have those explanations from fund 80, fund 10.

1210
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,000
And I know some of you may have that stuff.

1211
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:31,000
And I know some of those things because I've been to a lot of meetings and I've done a lot of research.

1212
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:36,000
But we have over half of us sitting up here, our brand new to this position.

1213
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:39,000
So, we need to get everybody up to speed.

1214
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:46,000
We need to talk to DPI and figure out exactly what we can and can't do.

1215
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:49,000
And we need to move forward with these things.

1216
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:55,000
Being that it's a district building, I think we can use different funds for different things.

1217
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,000
I know for a fact we can.

1218
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:05,000
So, we need to be able to have that open conversation, sit down and talk things through, and then make a decision.

1219
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:10,000
It doesn't matter what we call it, how we do it.

1220
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:13,000
But we have to be able to have the conversations.

1221
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:16,000
And right now there's not a lot of conversations.

1222
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:19,000
People come and we have public comment.

1223
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:21,000
And that's about it.

1224
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,000
There's not an open dialogue back and forth.

1225
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:28,000
And I think that's what we need to get to in order to resolve these things.

1226
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:33,000
This is a big deal.

1227
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:36,000
I just have, again, another procedural question.

1228
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Sorry.

1229
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:45,000
So, if we form this committee or a subcommittee and it's board members and we're saying that we want those voices at the table.

1230
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:48,000
I don't know enough about committee meetings.

1231
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,000
Are they able to come to a committee meeting and just speak?

1232
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:54,000
Or do we have to put them on an agenda?

1233
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:57,000
How does, I don't, you know, do they have to sign up when they get there?

1234
01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:58,000
Like they do here.

1235
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:00,000
I just don't know how it works at the committee level.

1236
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:01,000
Yes, to all.

1237
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:09,000
So, if they want to, they would be invited to the meeting and it would be an agenda item and then they can come to the table and openly discuss.

1238
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:13,000
If it's not an agenda item, then they would come and sign up for public comment as well.

1239
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:14,000
Okay.

1240
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:15,000
So, it's, yes.

1241
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:17,000
Yeah.

1242
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:18,000
You would need you.

1243
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:19,000
An invitation to the agenda.

1244
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:22,000
So, it's basically like a mini board meeting, so to speak.

1245
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:23,000
I mean, just on a small scale.

1246
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,000
It's only like an engaging conversation.

1247
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,000
Can engaging conversation.

1248
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:29,000
Perfect.

1249
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:37,000
I mean, the Y and CA by default would be invited to that meeting because they're the ones that are going to know what the expenses are that are going to be requested.

1250
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:44,000
Aside from that, I don't know who else would need to be at the table specifically to knowing.

1251
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:45,000
Here's an item.

1252
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:47,000
Here's the cost.

1253
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:53,000
We're asking this to be discussed at committee and move to the full board for approval for payment.

1254
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:54,000
Right?

1255
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:57,000
Like, I mean, I guess I'm thinking out long term too.

1256
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:58,000
What's that?

1257
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:13,000
Gridiron Club from coming in to say we would like a motion to approve the creation of a committee for the purpose of continued operations for the fundraising efforts of the new Scofield Stadium, multi purpose, multi sport field.

1258
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,000
What steps?

1259
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:24,000
The hockey association from coming in and making the same motion to say continued operations for the build of a district own hockey rink.

1260
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:29,000
Like, I'm just thinking past just the aquatic center.

1261
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:42,000
I feel like we're setting a precedent now to say if you are heavily, because we're also skewing right now who's at the table is heavily skewed on one sided, we're not objective on who we're saying.

1262
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:45,000
And I'm not saying I'm one way or another.

1263
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:53,000
I'm just simply saying it's very evident that we know that it's a full yes with the entities listed.

1264
01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Right?

1265
01:57:54,000 --> 01:58:06,000
We're just setting ourselves up to say now this group of people wants this in the tax payer should fund it through fund 80 and we are coming to the board to say this committee needs to be created because we want a football field.

1266
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,000
We've been working really, really hard at it.

1267
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:10,000
You've done your due diligence school district.

1268
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:16,000
We had a million dollar commitment that was pulled even though you're doing what they said you're not doing.

1269
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Like, where does it stop?

1270
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,000
Who do we say no to next?

1271
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:29,000
Because I would say if anybody's listening to this that wants to fundraise or have their own space, they should be emailing to get on the next agenda.

1272
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:38,000
So it's something to consider.

1273
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:44,000
Question on the amendment on the floor.

1274
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:54,000
So to clarify, we will be voting on the amendment to add the YMCA community members, foundation committee members as director, but building girls or board presidency fit.

1275
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:57,000
You're only voting on the amendment to make that the main motion.

1276
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,000
So if you want that to be the main motion, you are voting yes.

1277
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:02,000
If you do not, you're voting no.

1278
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:07,000
And if it does fail, it goes to the original motion just to create the committee.

1279
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:08,000
Correct.

1280
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Let's go back to the original motion.

1281
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:25,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

1282
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:28,000
Okay, please reveal the roof.

1283
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:32,000
So it fails.

1284
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:34,000
It tied forward to floor.

1285
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:35,000
Motion fails.

1286
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:38,000
So now the original motion is back on the floor.

1287
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:43,000
I move to approve the creation of the committee for the purpose of continuing operations for the Clara R.

1288
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Mechanic Aquatic Center.

1289
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:47,000
Any further discussion on the motion on the floor?

1290
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:55,000
I would like to amend the motion.

1291
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:10,000
I move to approve the creation of a committee for the purpose of continued operations for discussion consideration and possible action on items needed by the YMCA for the Clara R.

1292
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:19,000
McKenna Aquatic Center as I had it in my head.

1293
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:24,000
While a fund 80 position.

1294
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:30,000
In lieu of?

1295
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:31,000
Yes.

1296
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:35,000
In lieu of a fund 80 employee.

1297
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:42,000
Well, I want the intent behind the amended motion is to show what the intent of this committee is.

1298
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:44,000
It's kind of like an ad hoc.

1299
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:48,000
It's a sub committee.

1300
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:49,000
Substitute.

1301
02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:50,000
In term position.

1302
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:51,000
Oh, wow.

1303
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:52,000
In term.

1304
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:55,000
You like to speak to your motion.

1305
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:57,000
That's what I just did.

1306
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:02,000
But the language is still not in lieu of because I don't want it to replace.

1307
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:03,000
I'm hearing you entirely.

1308
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:04,000
You're going where I'm going.

1309
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:07,000
So I should finish my motion.

1310
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:16,000
If you add that then once if someone rehired that would dissolve the committee at that point in time.

1311
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:19,000
And also you're limiting your function of your committee.

1312
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:31,000
So if you're only addressing the needs the YMCA needs, then this committee wouldn't be able to address membership fees increasing costs or charges of this or that.

1313
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:34,000
So you're very much limiting what your committee could do.

1314
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:37,000
Those would be at the directive of the YMCA though.

1315
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:39,000
Aren't they currently?

1316
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:43,000
I didn't write this.

1317
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:45,000
Who said an item?

1318
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:46,000
Yes, for the YMCA.

1319
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:52,000
But the YMCA would be overseeing the cost of memberships would be overseeing the.

1320
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:54,000
This fix is needed.

1321
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:59,000
One day they would know what would be needed there or not.

1322
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:03,000
Yes, but then you're making them bring it to the table versus.

1323
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:08,000
I think the chair of this committee is putting on YMCA.

1324
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:22,000
My goal of this motion that I'm working really hard at is to just show that in good faith we are moving towards the creation of a fund 80 position creation of a.

1325
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Okay.

1326
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:35,000
For the purpose of discussion consideration and possible action and items needed for the continued operations of the clear our McKenna products are.

1327
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:44,000
It's your motion.

1328
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:45,000
Repeat that.

1329
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:46,000
Just repeat it for me.

1330
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:47,000
I'm trying to follow.

1331
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:51,000
Well, I understand that's also what I'm thinking right now too.

1332
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:52,000
Okay.

1333
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:56,000
So you want to re send your.

1334
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:57,000
Your memory.

1335
02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:58,000
We can.

1336
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,000
Yes, sure.

1337
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:00,000
Cancel that.

1338
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:07,000
Just want this more clarified and I don't know how to do that right now.

1339
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:11,000
My fear is if you add more clarification, you're putting more limitations.

1340
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:17,000
Yeah.

1341
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:22,000
Any further discussion on the motion on the floor.

1342
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:24,000
I just want to say I.

1343
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:37,000
I would be voting yes to this and I hope that we can start moving forward with all the parties in collaboration.

1344
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:40,000
So clarify, we'll be voting for the original motion.

1345
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:42,000
Any further discussion.

1346
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:46,000
So, Kristen with with it how it is.

1347
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:48,000
So every month.

1348
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:52,000
Does the YMCA then have to be on the agenda as an.

1349
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:54,000
A topic then.

1350
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:57,000
To present or go over anything at this committee.

1351
02:03:57,000 --> 02:03:58,000
Yeah.

1352
02:03:58,000 --> 02:04:01,000
Do they have to because if they're not identified.

1353
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:05,000
Do they have to be there in order for us to have an exchange.

1354
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:08,000
So the agenda would be set by the chair.

1355
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,000
Of the committee.

1356
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:16,000
So if there is something that the YMCA needs to be involved and it would be an agenda item that they would.

1357
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:22,000
They request the chair to put that on or they request it to the board president or vice president.

1358
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,000
How does that work?

1359
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:25,000
The board chair.

1360
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:26,000
The board chair.

1361
02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:27,000
Okay.

1362
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:28,000
Of the committee.

1363
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:29,000
The committee chair.

1364
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:32,000
And I would I would anticipate that.

1365
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Yeah, pretty much they would be there every month because they're the ones managing the pool.

1366
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:39,000
So there would be like a standing invitation.

1367
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:45,000
It's kind of like a standing invitation when we talk to our finance director.

1368
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:53,000
Is that an option or do they have to formally request it though.

1369
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:55,000
Because if we say standing.

1370
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:00,000
Invitation, but then if they don't formally reach out and then we don't allow.

1371
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:01,000
Conversation.

1372
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:05,000
I just don't want to get in a position where we don't have conversation with them.

1373
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,000
Could be like the current committee schedule though.

1374
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:09,000
So like.

1375
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:16,000
So as the chair of a committee.

1376
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:21,000
If I'm Amy's on my committee and she approaches me and says I would like this on the agenda.

1377
02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:24,000
As the chairperson, why would I tell her no.

1378
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:25,000
Like that just.

1379
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:27,000
Well, no, I'm saying if they.

1380
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:33,000
If we just have like a standing invitation like we just said and they don't formally say something to the chair.

1381
02:05:34,000 --> 02:05:36,000
And then they just show up.

1382
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:38,000
We can't have that conversation now.

1383
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:39,000
Right.

1384
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:40,000
It would have to be an agenda.

1385
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:44,000
So they have to formally request every month.

1386
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:46,000
To be on the agenda to talk.

1387
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:48,000
They can't just come.

1388
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:49,000
And have conversation.

1389
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:50,000
That's what I'm trying to make clear.

1390
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,000
The chair would put it on the agenda.

1391
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:54,000
The chair person sets the agenda.

1392
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:55,000
But if they just.

1393
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:56,000
To tell them the topic.

1394
02:05:56,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Yeah, they would just have to know the.

1395
02:05:58,000 --> 02:05:59,000
Okay.

1396
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:04,000
I mean, it could be as simple as updates from the aquatic center.

1397
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:05,000
Okay.

1398
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:06,000
Just a standing.

1399
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:07,000
Yeah.

1400
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:08,000
Sorry.

1401
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:09,000
I'm not being a pest.

1402
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:14,000
I'm just really trying to make sure that they don't miss something and then we don't miss something and we still can talk about it.

1403
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:20,000
What I would foresee is a calendar invite by the chair and co chair of that subcommittee.

1404
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:22,000
That includes the YMCA.

1405
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:27,000
So that is to create.

1406
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:28,000
The agenda.

1407
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:29,000
Monthly.

1408
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:33,000
So it'd be a standing meeting to create the agendas that just again,

1409
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:36,000
I'm not going to speak for those people because I don't know who they're going to be.

1410
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:37,000
But that's what I.

1411
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:42,000
That is a way to ensure that any of the items that are needed because.

1412
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:43,000
I'm a chair.

1413
02:06:43,000 --> 02:06:45,000
I'm the chair of the C and I committee.

1414
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:46,000
I cannot.

1415
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:48,000
I wouldn't be able to be like Amy this month.

1416
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:51,000
We're going to have to purchase this and you know, like that's Amy's role.

1417
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:52,000
Right.

1418
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:54,000
So we aren't overseeing the daily operations.

1419
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:57,000
We're approving the expenses up.

1420
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:58,000
Essentially.

1421
02:06:58,000 --> 02:06:59,000
They know it.

1422
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:03,000
So we would want them at the table to know what the agenda items are going to work collaboratively.

1423
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,000
Know what the needs are.

1424
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:11,000
My question in regards to that is their employees of the district.

1425
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:15,000
Is that an employment requirement that they come to these meetings?

1426
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:16,000
Yes.

1427
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:20,000
Well, if there's a topic, if there's a topic, they come to present.

1428
02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:27,000
So we can't require that the Y has someone at the meetings or that the foundation has someone at the meetings.

1429
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:28,000
So what?

1430
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,000
But why would they not?

1431
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:34,000
Because they're going to have to be there to have those conversations about all operations.

1432
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:36,000
And can things be like?

1433
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:38,000
There's a provision.

1434
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Excuse me.

1435
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:45,000
There's a provision in the contract with the YMCA that they will make.

1436
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:49,000
One of their representatives available for any meetings.

1437
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:50,000
Thank you.

1438
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,000
That helps immensely.

1439
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:53,000
Thank you.

1440
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:54,000
Thank you.

1441
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:57,000
I'm going to call the question.

1442
02:07:57,000 --> 02:08:00,000
Can somebody reread the motion, please?

1443
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:03,000
It's the original motion.

1444
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:05,000
What is the original motion?

1445
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:07,000
Discussion and possible action?

1446
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:08,000
No.

1447
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:09,000
No.

1448
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:15,000
The original motion is I move to approve the creation of a committee for the purpose of continued operations for the Clara R.

1449
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:24,000
Mechanic Watts Center.

1450
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:29,000
So we will be voting on the original motion.

1451
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:35,000
The voting device is open.

1452
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:42,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

1453
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:45,000
And the results are please.

1454
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:50,000
And it does pass eight to zero.

1455
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:55,000
The letter I.

1456
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:59,000
H and R.

1457
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:07,000
Finance minutes.

1458
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:09,000
Would you like to make a motion?

1459
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:12,000
You're looking for a motion.

1460
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:19,000
I know.

1461
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:29,000
I would like to speak to your motion.

1462
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:40,000
I really liked the proposal that was put forward at the finance committee meeting other than the full time nature of it.

1463
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:47,000
I'm hoping that getting the ball rolling with just saying half time will get us somewhere.

1464
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:55,000
If we learn later that we need it to be full or three quarters or something different or less, whatever, we can figure that out.

1465
02:09:55,000 --> 02:10:08,000
But I'm just trying to get the ball rolling with something that possibly the majority of the board could approve.

1466
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:13,000
Any other discussion?

1467
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Can I ask you?

1468
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Okay, so if it's a half time position, that would mean no benefits.

1469
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:27,000
But if it moves to full time, what would that equate to Kelly?

1470
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:30,000
Full time benefits are about $30,000.

1471
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:31,000
Okay.

1472
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:32,000
Thank you.

1473
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:35,000
So a total of $80,000 if it moved to full time.

1474
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:37,000
Well, the original.

1475
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:38,000
Yeah.

1476
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:39,000
Okay.

1477
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:42,000
And then the original one that was put forward was $100,000.

1478
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:47,000
So I mean, if you go to full time, just expect a minimum of $100,000 from their original proposal.

1479
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:48,000
Okay.

1480
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:49,000
Thank you.

1481
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:50,000
Just wanted clarification on that.

1482
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:52,000
And that was an approximation.

1483
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:53,000
Okay.

1484
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:59,000
So speaking to Jean's motion, thank you.

1485
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:15,000
The reason I had asked to go back and say I'm true to my word of why did I want to move this as a separate agenda item is simply because the creation of a fund 80 position is a need.

1486
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:28,000
Like it has to happen as evidenced by the significant amount of time that this school board of education has placed on discussion of a community pool over education of students.

1487
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:39,000
We have spent hours upon hours upon hours as a board as task force members as committee members in his administration days at this point.

1488
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:42,000
It feels like and I'm not being facetious.

1489
02:11:42,000 --> 02:11:46,000
Talking about a community pool and funding a community pool.

1490
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:52,000
We have not spent this board or the previous board in my experience as a board member.

1491
02:11:52,000 --> 02:12:09,000
Actually, this amount of dedicated time to discussing the academic achievement of students who attend the unified school district of Annago as board of education members.

1492
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:20,000
Given that a fund 80 position is required to remove the self imposed barriers at this point of not having a fund 80 position.

1493
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:32,000
It was interested to learn why or have discussion on why not a fund 80 position because we are having the same discussions over and over and over again.

1494
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:40,000
And again, I've talked to task force members who said the same thing. This is ridiculous. We are going nowhere. We are not solution focused.

1495
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:55,000
I would offer the thought and I'm considering and I'm terrible at making motions clearly of not limiting it to a half time position but simply of creation of a fund 80.

1496
02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:09,000
And then if it's determined that it's a full time or part time we have that flexibility.

1497
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:22,000
Part two of that is because my proposal in seeking a solution to keep the aquatic center open but tying it to our strategic plan because never once in the hours upon hours upon hours of these discussions has anybody.

1498
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:28,000
Aside from myself and correct me if I'm wrong. Said what how does this align to our strategic plan.

1499
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:36,000
So we're not talking about education. We're not talking about our strategic plan which drives our decision making.

1500
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:41,000
A fund 80 position resolves one of two significant barriers.

1501
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:47,000
And I'm not going to do a motion yet because I don't have the language.

1502
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:59,000
So you could make a motion to strike the part of my motion that said half time 50,000.

1503
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:01,000
Let's try and remember the words you use.

1504
02:14:01,000 --> 02:14:05,000
I can tell you the words I use because I wrote it down.

1505
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:07,000
Yeah, perfect. Well, what would you mind saying the full thing?

1506
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:13,000
I move to create a fund 80 position for the Clara R. McKenna Aquatic Center.

1507
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:17,000
So you're wanting to change your motion?

1508
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:21,000
No, I'm helping her write her motion. Okay.

1509
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:25,000
Which is to strike the half time 50,000.

1510
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:32,000
Usually you just say the move to strike and then you don't have to say the whole thing but, you know, it all works out.

1511
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:47,000
Part of our, when we were discussing our strategic plan, part of the discussion was having public relations portion to help with that barrier between the community and the board.

1512
02:14:47,000 --> 02:15:00,000
The way I see this, if it's just a fund 80 position, not anything specific to the Clara R. McKenna Aquatic Center is that probably at first it is a full time job to get the aquatic center back where it needs to be.

1513
02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:06,000
And once things are leveled off, that may not be a full time job.

1514
02:15:06,000 --> 02:15:15,000
But a PR position is probably able to fill what hours would be left available.

1515
02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:22,000
And I think that if we have just this general fund 80 position, it can be included in the job description.

1516
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:25,000
That type of thing.

1517
02:15:25,000 --> 02:15:32,000
Instead of specifics that we would have to revisit with anything change. So I.

1518
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:34,000
That is my thought as far as a full time position.

1519
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:40,000
So that was where I was going. Is it a strike through or should I amend the emotion?

1520
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:43,000
I'm in the motion on the floor.

1521
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:52,000
Okay, I'm going to amend the motion on the floor to I move to forward to the first I move.

1522
02:15:52,000 --> 02:15:55,000
To approve the creation of a fund 80 position.

1523
02:15:57,000 --> 02:16:06,000
And I will speak to that motion by stating the solution I had proposed in and also was supported by members of the task force.

1524
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:10,000
I won't name drop because I didn't answer permission, but they're well respected in the community.

1525
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:18,000
The proposal I had was tying back to our strategic plan, which is a public relations type position.

1526
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:28,000
And so by limiting keeping it broad of a fund 80 position, it provides us the opportunity to focus on as Kristen said.

1527
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:32,000
A position that would start likely as.

1528
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:39,000
The aquatic center because that is probably going to be a full time position. Again, the amount of hours we've spent on this.

1529
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:45,000
And then also gives the opportunity in the job description to merge that as a 50% aquatic center director.

1530
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:49,000
So to speak, a 50% and I'm slowing on numbers.

1531
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:50,000
PR.

1532
02:16:50,000 --> 02:16:55,000
Position, which is in our strategic plan. The aquatic center is not.

1533
02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:57,000
But this.

1534
02:16:57,000 --> 02:16:59,000
Which is that gap.

1535
02:16:59,000 --> 02:17:06,000
PR issues have been brought up in various capacities, various task force.

1536
02:17:06,000 --> 02:17:09,000
So we are we are working on that.

1537
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:14,000
In tandem, which is really only to strengthen the community as a whole.

1538
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:17,000
So it doesn't limit us, but it ties to our strategic plan.

1539
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:22,000
And it's a funded position that's more broadly stated.

1540
02:17:22,000 --> 02:17:28,000
We clearly have the minutes and the recorded meetings to show that the intent is focused on the aquatic center.

1541
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:30,000
And it has that potential for growth.

1542
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:34,000
I'm reading from the DPI website.

1543
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:43,000
Somebody asked a question on their FAQ page about public relations program focused on community engagement.

1544
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:50,000
With those expenses assigned to fund 80 and the answer is this expenditure would be considered ineligible.

1545
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:59,000
For all related costs beyond the sections that can be easily documented as tied to the activities provided through.

1546
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:03,000
Well, goodness, I thought this would be helpful, but.

1547
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:07,000
An allowable fund 80 expense related to sharing.

1548
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:19,000
My interpretation of this, which is foggy makes it sound like.

1549
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:26,000
You could have a public relations person, but they be public relations for the pool because it has to be tied to.

1550
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:29,000
A community program and services thing, but.

1551
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:35,000
Davis, are you still on Davis? Can you read this page? I don't understand this.

1552
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:37,000
So.

1553
02:18:37,000 --> 02:18:40,000
The.

1554
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:44,000
What gene is concluding is correct. I mean, so.

1555
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:46,000
If you had a PR.

1556
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:48,000
Aspect.

1557
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:53,000
That is fundable through fund 80 so long as the PR.

1558
02:18:53,000 --> 02:18:59,000
Work is to promote the community service or program.

1559
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:03,000
Specifically of the pool.

1560
02:19:03,000 --> 02:19:11,000
Or any other community service program that is approved, but the only community service program.

1561
02:19:11,000 --> 02:19:18,000
For community program that the district has, I believe is is the pool. So yes.

1562
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:26,000
I have a question. So can you have a person that's 50% funded by fund 80.

1563
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:30,000
50% funded by.

1564
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Yes, you can.

1565
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:37,000
And they have split job descriptions.

1566
02:19:37,000 --> 02:19:42,000
So when the time came comes for that, if it does.

1567
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:49,000
Then the committee would that we just created would work with the HR committee to.

1568
02:19:49,000 --> 02:19:51,000
Figure that out that.

1569
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:59,000
The person that comes from fund 10 versus fund 80 and then create the job description in addition to the.

1570
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:03,000
I think this is a great discussion.

1571
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:12,000
I don't need to kill it, but.

1572
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:15,000
You need money.

1573
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:17,000
For these positions.

1574
02:20:17,000 --> 02:20:21,000
You need money for a fund 80 position and you need money.

1575
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:23,000
If you're going to split the.

1576
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:27,000
The assignment, you need money out of fund 10.

1577
02:20:28,000 --> 02:20:32,000
I don't necessarily know.

1578
02:20:32,000 --> 02:20:40,000
As the finances stand right now, if there's, I know for a fact in within fund 80, there isn't money for that.

1579
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:43,000
I don't know if there's money in fund 10 for that.

1580
02:20:43,000 --> 02:20:48,000
So you'd have to consider another request for donated funds.

1581
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:53,000
In the interim, and then you'd also have to.

1582
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:57,000
So we're back at square one with the committee.

1583
02:20:57,000 --> 02:20:59,000
Or what.

1584
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:01,000
It all start with money.

1585
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:03,000
For money without a position that doesn't exist.

1586
02:21:03,000 --> 02:21:05,000
How do you have a position without money?

1587
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:18,000
I think it's easier to ask for money if you have a position with a job description that this is what this person is going to do.

1588
02:21:19,000 --> 02:21:20,000
And that is fair.

1589
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:23,000
So the only reason I'm bringing this up is just.

1590
02:21:23,000 --> 02:21:25,000
So no one is blindsided about.

1591
02:21:25,000 --> 02:21:33,000
A.

1592
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:36,000
Financial reality, but I.

1593
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:42,000
I think it would be perfectly reasonable if the motion passed conditioned upon.

1594
02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:45,000
Fundy.

1595
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:47,000
Okay, so we've had two amendments to the motion.

1596
02:21:47,000 --> 02:21:49,000
That's the most we can do.

1597
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:50,000
So.

1598
02:21:50,000 --> 02:21:51,000
No one.

1599
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:54,000
Oh, we've only had one amendment.

1600
02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:55,000
Jill.

1601
02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:57,000
Yeah, Jean was the original motion.

1602
02:21:57,000 --> 02:22:00,000
Okay.

1603
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:05,000
Can I make an amendment?

1604
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:11,000
And my amendment would be that we hire a.

1605
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:14,000
Half time.

1606
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:16,000
Part time.

1607
02:22:16,000 --> 02:22:18,000
One eighty position.

1608
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:23,000
Or that we create the funding position.

1609
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:26,000
So long as.

1610
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:29,000
Funding is available.

1611
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:33,000
I'm not sure like the exact words we should have that are if that's enough.

1612
02:22:33,000 --> 02:22:37,000
We're not locked into it if we are not able to get funding.

1613
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:42,000
I think if we put that in there, though, isn't that going to because if we don't have funds

1614
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:45,000
right now, then that basically just shoots that down.

1615
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:51,000
I think where Davis is going is that we don't have the funds to continue to pay for the pool either.

1616
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:57,000
So not we need the funds for a fund 80, but we also write Davis like at the end of the month, we're.

1617
02:22:57,000 --> 02:23:05,000
We have money to have a pool open or my thinking about this incorrectly.

1618
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:10,000
So I guess I have one question quick before Davis provides an answer.

1619
02:23:10,000 --> 02:23:13,000
So would this have to go back to committee level?

1620
02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:21,000
Would the administration, if we approve a fund 80 employee based 50,000 or 5050, whatever we wanted, whatever this is going to be.

1621
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:27,000
Does that have to go to committee to finalize a salary number to be voted on or that happening right now?

1622
02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:30,000
It would be happening right now.

1623
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:32,000
So we would have to determine a salary.

1624
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:34,000
We don't have to put a cap on it.

1625
02:23:34,000 --> 02:23:35,000
We don't have to put a cap.

1626
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:37,000
But are we going to put?

1627
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:44,000
I mean, are we going to put some sort of a cap on like not to exceed the original estimate, not to exceed 50,000.

1628
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:46,000
Is there.

1629
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:50,000
I mean with Angie's.

1630
02:23:50,000 --> 02:23:55,000
A mended motion that is does not include a.

1631
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:59,000
Okay, so I could add that.

1632
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:05,000
Typically, when you create a position, there isn't necessarily.

1633
02:24:05,000 --> 02:24:10,000
So would that be left up to the new committee that we just created?

1634
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:19,000
Then you also need to consider that whomever you might entertain hiring, they may want to negotiate or you may struggle filling the position.

1635
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:22,000
I mean, because we've got to leave leeway for that.

1636
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:29,000
But typically, when you create a position, you don't necessarily always say, we're only going to offer $50,000.

1637
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:33,000
Right. And you certainly wouldn't want to offer that in a public meeting.

1638
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:38,000
Correct, because then they're going to come in and say, I'll do it for 50,000.

1639
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:39,000
Yeah.

1640
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:46,000
So if we keep it broad at this point that, yes, we're just approving that this position can be created.

1641
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:52,000
Then at committee level, they now have the.

1642
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:55,000
The negotiate or they can talk about it.

1643
02:24:55,000 --> 02:25:04,000
So the process, the process typically is the intent behind this going to the HR finance committee was simply just to create the position.

1644
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:08,000
Nothing can happen until that happens first.

1645
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:13,000
And then you develop the job description and all the other things that go along with that.

1646
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:16,000
But that typically is an administrative task.

1647
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:24,000
But considering this is for a fund 80 position, then Davis, I would assume that would be the task of the subcommittee.

1648
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:25,000
Correct.

1649
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:30,000
To do that or no.

1650
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:31,000
To do what exactly.

1651
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:34,000
Create the job description for the fun.

1652
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:38,000
I think that would be.

1653
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:39,000
Yeah.

1654
02:25:39,000 --> 02:25:42,000
There are there are school district employee at that point.

1655
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:47,000
So I mean, we wouldn't be able to create a job description based on district policies and handbooks.

1656
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:50,000
And I would assume that would have to go to administration.

1657
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:51,000
Yeah.

1658
02:25:51,000 --> 02:25:53,000
We don't.

1659
02:25:53,000 --> 02:26:01,000
Sorry, because we don't we if we're not in the day to day of that and that committee is not going to get into that minute and fine tune of policies and handbooks and.

1660
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:05,000
Day to day apparel and all that fun stuff.

1661
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:07,000
That should go back to the administration.

1662
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:08,000
Correct.

1663
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:14,000
To develop that because then that takes liability up of us as a subcommittee of establishing.

1664
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:16,000
That.

1665
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:22,000
So route and send it back to the administration for that portion.

1666
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:28,000
Because I just wanted to keep it broad enough that we can still work with it, but also.

1667
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:34,000
Not nail us down to absolutely having to create that if we are not able to get the funds in place.

1668
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:37,000
Because we have to keep the doors open to some way somehow.

1669
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:40,000
Well, the position couldn't be filled if there aren't funds.

1670
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:45,000
So I mean, just because you create it doesn't necessarily mean it will be filled.

1671
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:46,000
Okay.

1672
02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:48,000
That's not guaranteed that motion.

1673
02:26:48,000 --> 02:26:49,000
No.

1674
02:26:49,000 --> 02:26:50,000
Okay.

1675
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:51,000
This is just basically step one.

1676
02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:52,000
Yes.

1677
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:54,000
But nothing else can happen until this happened.

1678
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:55,000
Okay.

1679
02:26:55,000 --> 02:26:56,000
So I take back my motion.

1680
02:26:56,000 --> 02:26:57,000
You're going to rescind your.

1681
02:26:57,000 --> 02:26:58,000
Yeah.

1682
02:26:58,000 --> 02:26:59,000
Okay.

1683
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:00,000
Thank you.

1684
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:01,000
We send my motion.

1685
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:02,000
So everybody knows.

1686
02:27:02,000 --> 02:27:03,000
So we're back to the original.

1687
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:05,000
We are back to Jill's motion.

1688
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:06,000
Yes.

1689
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:11,000
Which was simply I moved to approve the creation of a fund 80 position.

1690
02:27:11,000 --> 02:27:12,000
Yes.

1691
02:27:12,000 --> 02:27:18,000
Any further discussion on the amendment to the motion.

1692
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:24,000
So to be clear, we'll be voting to make this the main motion.

1693
02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:30,000
So if you want to change the motion to I move to approve the creation of a fund 80 position, you will be voting.

1694
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:31,000
Yes.

1695
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:36,000
If you do not want to do that, you want it to leave the original motion that gene made you will be voting.

1696
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:37,000
No.

1697
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:42,000
To have a $50,000 limit on a part time position.

1698
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:43,000
Okay.

1699
02:27:43,000 --> 02:27:44,000
Is everyone ready?

1700
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:45,000
All right.

1701
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:54,000
We are voting on the amendment to the motion.

1702
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:56,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

1703
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:57,000
Okay.

1704
02:27:57,000 --> 02:28:00,000
We can reveal the results please.

1705
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:02,000
And that passes eight to zero.

1706
02:28:02,000 --> 02:28:04,000
That now becomes the main motion on the floor.

1707
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:06,000
I move to approve the creation of a fund 80 position.

1708
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:10,000
Any further discussion on the motion?

1709
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:12,000
I just want to say, yay.

1710
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:14,000
We're moving forward.

1711
02:28:14,000 --> 02:28:17,000
There's just a lot of flexibility with having an open end.

1712
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:20,000
It doesn't have to be tied just to the aquatic center.

1713
02:28:20,000 --> 02:28:24,000
There's districts all over the state that have fund 80 positions, community engagement coordinators.

1714
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:27,000
They might manage the pool for 10% of their day.

1715
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:29,000
They might do something with the school force.

1716
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:31,000
There's a lot of options.

1717
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:34,000
So I think don't have tunnel vision.

1718
02:28:34,000 --> 02:28:41,000
Do a little research and you'll be surprised what you can do with this open ended position.

1719
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:47,000
Anything else?

1720
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:54,000
I'm hopeful that with this momentum of seeking solutions, being social focus that this board

1721
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:56,000
would be really willing to dig deep.

1722
02:28:56,000 --> 02:29:01,000
Moving forward to say we're going to have this intense of discussion.

1723
02:29:01,000 --> 02:29:07,000
Every meeting about academic achievement because our students deserve to learn and excel academically.

1724
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:14,000
I'm going to challenge us as a board to take that energy driven by having a school district

1725
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:17,000
funded community pool not funded by anybody else.

1726
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:21,000
You need that same energy to say we are going to be that dedicated.

1727
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:26,000
Whitefish Bay or whoever is in number one spot, we're coming for you.

1728
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:27,000
Because we deserve that.

1729
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:32,000
We've shown collectively as a community that we can care strongly for a community pool.

1730
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:38,000
I sure hope that the Board of Education can show the community that we can care even more strongly

1731
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:41,000
about the academic achievement now comes of our students.

1732
02:29:41,000 --> 02:29:49,000
So I appreciate the work that was done tonight to come up with steps to move forward on a resolution.

1733
02:29:49,000 --> 02:30:03,000
Okay, everyone ready to vote please.

1734
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:06,000
Anyone like to change their vote?

1735
02:30:06,000 --> 02:30:14,000
Okay, you could please review and it passes eight to zero.

1736
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:20,000
We will be moving to board information and update on the TIFF meeting and the WASB symposium.

1737
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:22,000
Jean, I'll turn it over to you.

1738
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:26,000
This is so exciting.

1739
02:30:26,000 --> 02:30:30,000
Thank you for not leaving.

1740
02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:36,000
You know, basically you can just read the documents, but the two pieces of information for the TIFF.

1741
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:44,000
Essentially, it's just important for us to know that somewhere along the four to six year period, these financial districts

1742
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:51,000
that the city created will be terminated, which will affect property values in our school district

1743
02:30:51,000 --> 02:30:55,000
and hopefully lower the mill rate of the things being equal.

1744
02:30:55,000 --> 02:30:58,000
So it's a ways down the road, just to be aware of it.

1745
02:30:58,000 --> 02:31:03,000
And then at the WASB symposium, I was the only person there from the board.

1746
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:07,000
It was definitely worthwhile, especially since it was so close.

1747
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:14,000
And I gave highlights from the different talks that I went to, but there were a couple items of interest I wanted to just share with the board.

1748
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:20,000
If we ever wish as a board to survey the community staff, parents or students,

1749
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:25,000
we should definitely consider using the professionals at school perceptions.

1750
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:29,000
They participated in one of the talks that was given and I was just really impressed.

1751
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:34,000
Of course, I don't know what their pricing is, but I was really impressed with their presentation.

1752
02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:40,000
And second, there's a new thing that WASB's come up with, well, new-ish anyways.

1753
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:49,000
It's a framework for kind of organizing the way that the board evaluates the superintendent.

1754
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:53,000
And it costs money, it's like three or four hundred bucks a year.

1755
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:57,000
We wanted to learn more about that framework.

1756
02:31:57,000 --> 02:32:03,000
They're willing to give the board like an online presentation for free.

1757
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:06,000
It was pretty interesting.

1758
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:09,000
You know, something to consider down the road.

1759
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:10,000
And that's it.

1760
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:11,000
Thank you.

1761
02:32:11,000 --> 02:32:13,000
Anyone questions for you?

1762
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:14,000
Okay.

1763
02:32:14,000 --> 02:32:16,000
Then I will be looking for a motion to adjourn.

1764
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:18,000
So thanks, Jill.

1765
02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:19,000
Second.

1766
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:21,000
Some of Angie.

1767
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:22,000
All right.

1768
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:24,000
We are adjourned 849.
