00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:25.119
6:00 and I call the meeting to order. All board members are accounted for. Uh Jeff will not be here tonight. Please rise for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the

2
00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:47.360
republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. I have no additions to the agenda. If no one else does, I will look forward a motion to approve the agenda show.

3
00:00:47.360 --> 00:01:04.400
>> I'll make a motion. I'll second >> Jod on the motion, Randy on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. Motion carries. All right. First up, we're going to have a Minnesota State High School League

4
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:21.280
resolution, and that will be presented uh by Reed. Uh there is a training video that I don't know if you guys all got a chance to watch it. It's about a six-inute video. It is the exact same as last year. Uh we definitely can uh play it else if everyone's all good with it,

5
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:36.960
we're going to go ahead and >> not play it. So whatever whatever anyone wants, but uh we can do that after uh reading ducks. So bigger way. >> Yep. Uh this is just an annual resolution that we do every year. Um

6
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:54.479
stating that uh we're going to renew our membership with the high school league um and that uh they are going to their policies and are going to govern how we how we go about uh participating in their activities and their events. Um

7
00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:10.560
I consist the uh full participation uh just for example if uh if there's any new schools such as a home school that conglomerate that tries to start building. We've had that happen several years ago with a track conglomerate out

8
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:26.400
of Rochester. We can't schedule any events with anybody that's not a member school. So, um, really it's just becomes that annual resolution and it's it's more of a formality than anything else. The the video is something that just

9
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:41.200
goes along with it and they update it every obviously not this year but every two to three to four years. uh you know they're talking about our activities are an extension of the classroom and dealing with adversity and life lessons

10
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:57.200
and being part of a team and uh the the great impact that our coaches and our adviserss are making with our students and how valuable that is. uh talks a little bit about the uh the team.

11
00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:13.519
Uh together we make a difference. Uh expectations that are that are uh given up by students. uh you know being being respectful and and positive sportsmanship inclusive and uh this will

12
00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:28.959
be our second year uh as we we kind of as an HVL we do our own HVL team up workshop uh in the early fall and this will be the second year that we do that. So we have not gone to the cities for

13
00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:45.760
the um together we make a difference. There used to be one in roster and then they took it away where it was going to be St. Cloud or St. Paul were going to be the closest one. So we as a collectively as an HBO started that last year and we invited a bunch of our kids

14
00:03:45.760 --> 00:04:03.040
and a bunch of our coaches and we went to Cass and this year we're going to go to Python. So um other than that I can take any questions that anybody might have about the resolution or the video. I I guess I just have one question and I

15
00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:18.239
don't know if it necessarily is quite in this category, but um just because we had you kind of covered the fact that we do have like the kids watch videos about all these different topics and it kind of covers encompasses a lot of the sports aspect behind it, right? Um it um I know that there are some schools that

16
00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:34.639
are watching um some additional a little bit more information about um I don't know how to even phrase it exactly, but like safety with your coaches basically, right? and like um and coaches and teammates, you know, making sure that it's like a safe environment for like

17
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:50.080
like a bullying situation, that type of stuff, that kind of a topic. Um I know that there's just um this starting to grow a little bit more popularity and I just wasn't sure what we covered personally. >> Well, this will be added for next month's agenda when we start talking

18
00:04:50.080 --> 00:05:06.400
about the coaches handbooks. We're going to make some additions to that and some extra requirements that uh video training that our coaches will view whether that's either going to be provided on their coaches clipboard or that's something that we're going to have to look at through NFHS learn which

19
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:23.039
is >> national federation for high schools. So we'll have a way of >> taking a look at that as well. >> Yeah. Y >> um not necessarily to do with this, but I do have a question on the Minnesota the high school league and the

20
00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:40.479
the reclassification of bringing in um like the seventh and eighth graders, right? To varsity sports or Yeah, seventh and eighth, right? >> Ninth grade. >> Yeah. And within your circles, have you because I felt like it kind of hurt us in a way with when we went through the

21
00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:58.080
basketball situation and within other schools experiencing that because it felt like it wasn't a very good thing for Canon Falls necessarily. >> I mean, it's good to have them covered. I'm not saying that, but I I think it >> I think the biggest hurdle that we have

22
00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:14.800
really discussed openly is it's more for those programs that that don't have your traditional five levels where we have to not call it a junior high. We have to call it a C, which is traditionally your ninth grade team. And

23
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:30.960
that's just to make it easy so that coaches have that ability to slide you back and forth because if we don't then you you basically get the one move and then you're >> you're stuck or you you go back you are for sure stuck for the rest. So that's the thing that we've we're frustrated a

24
00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:48.479
little bit with that because if I have let's just say boy soccer >> and I'm playing a C and I'm calling my C but it's mostly seventh and eighth but I'm going to you right >> and your C is going to be maybe some

25
00:06:48.479 --> 00:07:05.599
seventh and eighth but maybe some lower level ninth or even some lower level 10th you know that gets to be a little bit disheartening. Yeah. >> So that's where we just need to the same has been true for years and years for under varsity with golf that has been a

26
00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:21.680
huge problem. Um so I think as long as we can strengthen our communication u here's what I'm sending. What are you having? So >> you know and some of those larger districts you know your vibrant milk they're going to have a 9A and 9B you

27
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:37.039
know a 10B whatever that looks like too. So that's really been I would say the biggest challenge or or obstacle that we've had to deal with for that component. >> I would agree. And then you don't see anything changing there, right? I mean within Okay.

28
00:07:37.039 --> 00:08:00.479
>> Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> All right. No, we'll uh move on. Thank you, Reed. Uh, we'll go to public. Let's go back and vote.

29
00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:21.440
>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> You want me to read it? >> Um, yeah. >> You just want me to read first? >> Resolve that governing board. Yeah, >> just that first one. You want? >> Sure. >> Okay. Resolve that the governing board or entity of Canopal School District

30
00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:37.440
number 252 located in the state of Minnesota delegates the control, supervision, and regulation of intercolactic activities and athletics to the Minnesota State High School League and so hereby certifies that the state to the state commissioner of education as provided by Minnesota

31
00:08:37.440 --> 00:09:00.839
statues. So I'll need like a yes or no vote. Ronnie, >> yes. >> Jody, yes. Luke, >> yes. Clinton, >> yes. And >> yes. And myself is a yes. All right, move on to uh public input.

32
00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:20.959
Anyone want to speak to the board? All right, we will close the public uh school board committee reports. Anyone have anything they'd like to add? I was at the GCED meeting. Um I think

33
00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:37.360
one of the highlights that they chatted about is that they have a project based learning uh program there which focuses a lot with the level four kiddos um at that school and getting them out of the building and and getting them to really kind of stretch things out. Um so for

34
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:53.040
example, they make these designs which is like their little version of magazines. Um and they literally just kind of put whatever they want here. there's list of things they like, there's drawings, there's cartoons, there's all sorts of things. It's just whatever they wanted. They can put their name on it or not put their name on it.

35
00:09:53.040 --> 00:10:07.760
Um, and then it gets passed out throughout the school and it helps that. And then they went to nursing homes, they cleaned up the highways, they sent kindness notes and painted kindness rocks. Um, they did all sorts of things. And the purpose was for all

36
00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:24.959
of these activities is to continue to remind them that they are valued and important in the community, right? Like they're not just some I think sometimes these kiddos maybe get overlooked and they feel like they get overlooked, right? Um and so reminding them that

37
00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:41.519
they are important in this committee or community and they do and they do big things and they can they can move mountains if they tried and if they wanted and just reminding them of that. Um, so it's just really cool program that they have going on down there. So, yeah. Thank you. Um, I attended an Ed

38
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:57.680
Foundation meeting this week. Um, nothing really new there other than there's some excitement building about the playground down at the elementary school. You guys have noticed that they ripped out the old and they're going to be starting on the new and um they're hoping that should be done before school

39
00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:14.480
starts and then they're hoping that kiddos can take a look at it. Maybe they're going to have an ice cream social or something on Bomber days. So, that'll be fun to take a look at it. Parents and kiddos can take a look and try it out and play around on it and stuff. So, that was the excitement at the Ed Foundation meeting. And then, um

40
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:30.959
there was also an extracurricular meeting that I think we'll talk about later on in the agenda with the co-oping and stuff. So, we'll go through that then. >> Um Clinton and I met on facilities. We went down to the bus garage uh to kind

41
00:11:30.959 --> 00:11:46.160
of take a tour of that and what potential issues we have there with the building. I think everybody that drives through Canon Falls that way knows exactly what building we're talking about and how it looks. And unfortunately, we I mean we are very lucky. We have a space where our buses

42
00:11:46.160 --> 00:12:02.160
are covered and can be warm in the winter and that kind of thing. But there's some pretty significant um upgrades that need to h or maintenance that needs to happen there. Um, so we had ISG on site to help us through that and so they could see the scope of the

43
00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:18.720
project and maybe we could understand a little better what that financially means for the district if we were to do something. So nothing was decided. In fact, we haven't got to my knowledge anything back from ISG yet on drawings or anything like that, but we are um

44
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:35.360
it's been an issue for some time um and we've put band-aids on it. So, we're just trying to figure out what that looks like to go forward if we were to try to do something to make that building um up to par. Um there's leaking issues and there's foundation issues and

45
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:50.639
>> at least at the bare minimum make it so the office has heat, >> right? And and when it rains the rain, >> it's just the walls are >> Yeah. and keeping the water out and all those fun things, but um it's going to be a

46
00:12:50.639 --> 00:13:11.320
expensive project and and so we'll see. But more to come on that. Um and then I did attend the extracurricular meeting as well with Randy uh via remote. Um but that's on the agenda. We can hit that later. Anything else?

47
00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:27.760
All right, we'll move on to the finance report. Josh, you want to take that over? >> Sure. >> Now that we're getting real close to the end of fiscal 26 and starting fiscal 27, I put together the cash flow worksheet

48
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:43.040
for the entire fiscal year. Uh, so this is updated and I think we've gone through this one page get you through a August. Um for the most part the your typical ins and outs that happen each month your payroll um ideas payments coming in but some notable things that

49
00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:58.800
come and it's usually summertime we are project based uh trying to get things done before uh the students are back into the building when we get in the fall. Uh you know talked a little bit about the the playground stuff going on uh back at the stadium. There's some

50
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:15.760
work being done there. Uh significantly less crown on that field right now as they work through it. Uh there'll be some stadium uh improvements obviously out there I just talk about but uh bleachers in the fieldhouse. Uh the existing bleachers will be moved to the other side of the fieldhouse uh and new

51
00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:32.399
bleach be put in where the existing ones were uh to give more seating obviously for for one main reason but also to not have to bring those portable bleachers into the fieldhouse uh and risk further damage to the floor. Um you know the twisting and turning with the wheels and the the big vehicle the trailer tends to

52
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:49.440
not be the best thing for that. Um it might adjust a little bit how graduation may have to be run, but I think overall uh it'll be a much more enjoyable experience for the people that are attending, especially big events in that fieldhouse. Um couple of purchases of some vans are listed there. We don't have the buses

53
00:14:49.440 --> 00:15:06.480
there because the buses are about a year out, but uh late July, we'll have those three new vans into the fleet. Again, all part of the fiscal 27 budget. Um, you know what it seems is we will be more IEP type students or more either

54
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:23.199
dangerous or hard to get to places with um the buses. We have more and more vans going out. Uh, the state has allowed us now to keep vans past 12 years. Uh, as long as we pass DOT standards. Um, so we're able to keep a couple vans a bit longer, but you know, in your personal vehicle, if you're putting hundreds of

55
00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:39.920
thousand miles on a vehicle, they they get a little worn out, especially in Minnesota where you've got salt and sand and all that nature. Um, we got some debt service payments. So, there are typically two uh payments for debt service. We kind of consider them our mortgage payments. balance on monthly uh

56
00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:56.320
two uh interestonly payments, one in August, one in February, and then the main principal comes out in uh February. I guess the big thing to kind of note on that um if you scroll up to the top and the cash balance

57
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:12.560
uh in the previous cash flow worksheets or financial reports, you've seen where uh we're anticipating the levy revenue coming in from Guju County, Dakota County. So, you see a large cash balance there. Uh so those payments for the first half of uh the tax levy has come in and obviously that would indicate the

58
00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:30.160
need to also increase the referendum. Uh important to note that that's not all general fund cash or operating cash where we can spend it as a district. So choose uh a lot of that is debt service that is designated or it could be community service as well. Uh we're doing our best now with a well to um

59
00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:45.600
maximize some interest earnings on those dollars and that was through finance committee. So, um, all in all, a pretty good report this time of the year as we stand. Um, there'll be more follow when we get into the revised fiscal 26 budget, but happy to answer any questions you have

60
00:16:45.600 --> 00:17:02.880
>> with the the Frank Hawk uh field parking lot. >> Yep. >> Um, go ahead. What were you saying? >> No, I should definitely >> just what you're going to have. >> And then the fieldhouse bleachers and like the CM scoreboard. Um, tennis court resurfacing. Are these just like a

61
00:17:02.880 --> 00:17:17.120
onetime >> Yep. >> payment at this point in time like this is the total as far as we know. >> Yeah. So got not only the budget numbers in there but uh when possible when available uh either the quote the estimate I don't have the actual invoices we don't get that marks

62
00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:34.160
complete uh but these numbers should not exceed uh funding for these and that's a good question or at least I'm anticipating what you're asking there. Uh it comes from all over the place. So, LTFM, long-term facility maintenance. Um, replacing something that's existing or worn out, you may qualify as for

63
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:50.960
long-term facilities maintenance. Um, there's some scoreboard fund being used on that. Obviously, you know, with that foundation and PTO, uh, $380,000 worth of donation for that playground. Those funds are also in that top dollar that's there as we hold those to pay them off.

64
00:17:50.960 --> 00:18:07.679
Um, not operating funds for this. So, it's not dollars that would be giving out to whether it be payroll or instructional supplies, those sort of things. They're designated dollars for these types of activities. >> And I'm glad you addressed that because I've had actually a couple different people reach out over the last month

65
00:18:07.679 --> 00:18:24.320
asking about some of these things and thinking that it's coming from >> uh referendum money and it's not. >> Totally different different pods. It's important to know that um we do a longterm facilities, you know, kind of listing of, you know, priorities. Some

66
00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:39.520
some of them are want, some of them are needs, some of them are, you know, kind of, you know, pie in the sky sort of deals. But, uh, we try to take care of the necessary items that we can uh to make things, you know, safe, be the first thing in the district, but we're going to offer things that are good and

67
00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:55.280
give our students and staff good experiences, too. We try to do that, which totally is the donation part of the playground. That's >> Yeah, >> my daughter was a little upset because she thought that was the best playground to get ripped out. >> Wait till you see when it comes back. But we said better than it was. So >> yeah, I wanted to touch on that too that

68
00:18:55.280 --> 00:19:11.919
that playground 2 was something I mean I had a couple questions on that and it's not that's not coming out. We were gifted that from that foundation and then so it's just been in and out too. So >> just make sure that people are aware of that >> and so the group's aware like when we have a facilities meeting we have or

69
00:19:11.919 --> 00:19:29.280
Josh or Jeff control a master list of adjusted everything that is high importance as far as facilities go what what are dreams and wishes and then we just simply go down that list we add to it and we rerank them and then we start trying to tackle the ones we can. So

70
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:44.480
>> the dreams and wishes don't seem to >> yeah they don't ever in fact we never even talk about them. I do think that that is probably the least talked about, but u especially maybe some elderly or it's a long walk

71
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:59.120
that Frank's parking is going to be. >> Yeah. Can you remind me what the scope of that? >> Yeah, I was going to say what is it? >> So, you know, you know, Steven's cleared out a lot of the stuff that was back there. >> Uh some of that be made into additional parking. Um but also, uh this would be

72
00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:16.000
what rightfield line or the Frankox is. Some of that's going to be taken away to add parking there as well. So, it's not a ton of parking, but it certainly is going to help uh people that have a hard time getting from way back in the fieldhouse to a state track meeting for sure. So, >> it's also going to be a hazard zone. >> Correct. >> At your own risk.

73
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:32.880
>> I put my there, but not that. >> Yeah. But I, you know, I would say going to that point like the parking and the issues of getting around back there has been a from the day I started on the school board has been an issue that people complain about to me. So

74
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:49.840
>> it's it feels good to somewhat check it off the back, you know, like >> or at least help it out. I know if you look further on that list, >> you know, there be included maybe parking over here and move someplace else so more parking around and >> the funds and the wants and needs to kind of dictate what we can do there.

75
00:20:49.840 --> 00:21:05.679
>> Wasn't that going to be like another 50 spots roughly or something around that? >> Well, I think when you add the spot that was being taken up by operations, it probably that's a fair amount of parking. >> Yeah. And credit to Stephen, too, cuz that I'm sure that makes his job harder by not having his stuff right outside of

76
00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:25.919
where it always was. But he was willing to to move that and >> it's helpful. I've used it. >> Hopefully there wasn't any said and done. >> And then uh on the tennis courts, do we have a date when they're going to show up? >> Yeah, I believe it's July 6 or shortly

77
00:21:25.919 --> 00:21:40.640
after. >> Okay. Right. >> There's been a little bit of change of scope in that project. Um, Pine Bend, who actually installed these tennis courts, built the light, whatever you say, uh, is not confident that if they were to mill the surface that

78
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:55.600
there'd be enough surface there for them to lay another sheet of baffle over it. So, it won't be mil. Uh, so we have to go back to the tennis company and change how we've been working here. So, they'll be filling cracks again. They'll be painting or putting in new post um in

79
00:21:55.600 --> 00:22:11.360
that. So, it'll look pretty new out there >> given it's a Minnesota climate and the fact that it's not a complete redo of the service. Um, you know, how long it lasts, but that's the an issue with the task court in Minnesota. >> Um, it did increase the price a little

80
00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:27.520
bit because we're changing how things work when anymore for crack repair. Um, when I talked to the lady that is putting this together, um, they'll come in and do it once it's done. Uh she says that it'd be ready, play ready as soon as the paint is dry. So um with them

81
00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:43.120
coming in July 6, depending on how long it takes them to do their surface prep and their crack refill and the paint. Um for sure by fall sports, possibly end of July. >> And then the bleaches in the fieldhouse. Do we know when that's happening or

82
00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:59.280
>> they're starting? >> So a little lack of communication from stadium Steve. They were supposed to come this last week and then he responded they were coming Thursday and then they didn't show Thursday. I meant no I meant this coming Thursday but I

83
00:22:59.280 --> 00:23:15.360
don't feel good about that. So it's now the 29th and the 30th it's going to be two days. Um but they will move the existing over and then we're still shooting and uh and aiming for MEA break for the new install.

84
00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:31.760

97
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:25.919
from this past year. I wanted to mix in just do a little bit different because the end of the year we don't do anything to be honest with you. So like just a year in review kind of going over the activities our extracurriculars for robotics we had. that they had a very good year. They had around 16 kids. You

98
00:27:25.919 --> 00:27:41.600
guys saw their demonstration. It was very cool. Went to Duth, the cities, and they kept on getting closer each year um or this year to getting to nationals, which is down in Texas. Um NHS, we ran the blood drives. I think we had two um really good over 100 units donated,

99
00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:58.799
which was super exciting, exciting, and food drives. And we just put down the flags for Memorial Day this past May. So, that was super awesome. Also, um I don't really talk about them, but the environmental club, we also have that in our school. I don't know if you guys knew about that, but they had gotten a

100
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:14.799
new president this next year. And so, it'll be super fun to see like if they can like put themselves more out there, get more different things going on. Um our lantern, they had gotten that snow award for Amy Fick and just a few other things that just they really encompass a whole bunch of different things

101
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:30.399
throughout the entire school, whether it's sports, art, just a bunch of different things. And so if you guys actually look at that, it is really, really well written as well. Um, the yearbook, I don't know if anybody looked at that, but that is just awesome. They put so much time and work into it and it

102
00:28:30.399 --> 00:28:46.960
just looks so good. Everybody's so excited to get those at the signal last weekend of school. Just I love looking through mine. >> Um, FCA, we always get that generous donations for breakfast club, which is super exciting. I don't know, have you guys heard about much about that, but we

103
00:28:46.960 --> 00:29:03.919
go every first and third Tuesday we go to the church and we get free breakfast and it's super well put up. >> Um, >> usually have some speakers and stuff too, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Super fun. >> We have the ski club and their numbers just keep on rising which is super well

104
00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:21.440
done. It's very cheap, very fun is what I've heard about that. Um the musical we had that um princess and the pee this fall and the play this spring for bad additions by bad actors as well which is both well put on in the band and choir

105
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:36.080
concerts throughout the year. Moving on to sports start at homecoming week. We had wonderful Powerpuff games and um our volleyball won against Randolph, the soccer against Stewie and the unfortunate loss against Chatfield for

106
00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:51.600
football which was a bummer. Um, for football on the higher note, they won against KW and got their little brown jug and girls section championship game for soccer was their very first time. I don't know if you guys remember this, but it's their very first time getting

107
00:29:51.600 --> 00:30:07.440
that far, which is super exciting because now we genuinely have the same. We had like two seniors, so it's same group next year. Super excited to see what they can do. Um, we had state girls for tennis and Sophia, which is super duper fun. And this basketball kind of

108
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:24.080
moving into the winter sports, we had the girls co-op with Randolph, which was I heard just awesome. Like all the Randolph girls were super duper nice. I know a lot of them were nervous from Canon going into it, but it was went so smooth, super awesome. >> Boy Scene was going good. They got third seed overall in the DA section, which

109
00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:41.919
was super well for them. Playoffs and um dance unfortunately did not do as well this year, which was it happens if it just does. and wrestling. Ended up with some good seniors and that ended up graduating. Um for still in the winter

110
00:30:41.919 --> 00:30:58.559
weightlifting, we had had 11 people who went to state and um just a bunch of different things going on in that weightlifting room. We got three seniors last year and we'll have a lot this year. So, it'll be very fun to see what they do. Um track, we had three people

111
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:14.960
go to state and tennis and went for golf to state. So, it was very fun. Honestly, the state perspective of this year for sports, our softball team was another learning year, but our baseball team staybound, which was so so so much fun. And I think it's really fun honestly

112
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:29.600
with the sports seasons to look at how they rise and lower from each season to season and just kind of see each person's perspective on how the season went and just bunch of different things about it. Um, our trips, we had a group

113
00:31:29.600 --> 00:31:46.640
from Spanish 3 go to Spain, which was very fun, I can say. And, um, we had the Puerto Rico trip, which I think is still going on. >> That's what I was just going to ask cuz I'm about >> I honestly have no idea, but um, that was super cool that it is opened up to

114
00:31:46.640 --> 00:32:03.120
the school and just anybody who wanted to go, especially with Mr. Light Bulb, which would be so much fun. Um, academically we had the end of the year was Mrs. Hoffman trying to get everybody's schedules all done ready for the fall and just kind of getting PSO

115
00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:18.480
stuff worked in for the high school and thinking about different things. Um, to kind of finish it all off, we kind of had a little bit of talk at the end of the year about starting early. I heard a lot of positive stuff, but like for the people that don't do sports, they're like it just doesn't matter. So, it's

116
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:34.559
all good. All good stuff going on in the school. And it was a really good year. It went fast for me, but it was good. >> Yeah, that's all I got for you guys. >> That's awesome. >> Synapsis. >> That was awesome. >> I like that. That was good.

117
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:54.159
>> You didn't catch GPT all >> She called me. >> I was like, I don't know what to talk about. >> Good job. >> Do you know what the environmental group like what they kind of consistent like what they can do or want to do? They honestly do a lot of like they'll put

118
00:32:54.159 --> 00:33:10.159
posters around the school every once in a while. They do go around and they'll pick up I know that MHS has two times that we go out and clean streets. >> Um but I know that they go out a few more times than that and they'll go out to the forest a lot. They planted trees on Earth Day. I think Earth Day was

119
00:33:10.159 --> 00:33:26.960
honestly their big thing. I don't know for sure what they all did, but >> Do you know if they participate with river cleanup too or No. >> Interesting. >> That's actually a good point. I would love to bring that up, but I don't know for sure. and just see it sometimes advertise river cleanup day. >> Yeah, totally. >> Yeah, it needs it. >> Yeah.

120
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:49.519
>> It runs through my backyard, you guys. >> Valid. That's fair. Very true. >> All right. Thank you, Lily. >> Uh I don't think we have any other reports unless Reed, you got anything you want? >> Yeah, I can share a couple things. Um uh I'm going to repeat some of the things that Lily talked about for

121
00:33:49.519 --> 00:34:06.640
printing, but that's okay. Uh because uh they're very deserving of that. Very successful spring sports uh season. Uh we're going to lump speech into that. So speech going to state uh some three track and field participants, one girls golf and the baseball team. So a very

122
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:23.760
successful uh spring season and congratulations to those state tournament participants. um tell you it was a 3-w weekek just grind of of mileage that I submitted to Josh. I did over 2200 miles to all of our postseason and a lot of that is

123
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:39.599
because of section two and you know where the state is housed and located but um you know just just we were blessed for the most part with really great weather. Um but it was just great to see those those kids uh uh

124
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:54.720
participate and compete at that state level. So, congratulations to them. Uh, tenative looking at and real quickly switching to fall tenative fall pack night that we're looking at going to be Wednesday, July 29th at 6:00. I just

125
00:34:54.720 --> 00:35:11.520
need to confirm that with uh Steven facilities, make sure that, you know, they're not waxing the atrium floor or anything that time and make sure that that head co that's going to work for fall head coaches. So, we'll get that I'll have an update for that next month before we launch that out. Um we're

126
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:28.000
we're working on bound to get that ready and go for our uh registration and scheduling and um facilities piece. Tammy and I have moved to the elementary. Uh so if you're looking for us, that's where we're at. Um I don't

127
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:44.480
have a FOB uh update yet as far as when we're specifically the fieldhouse group when that's going to look like. Just waiting to hear. Uh uh we kicked around a date till July 15th, but a we need to make sure that we learned a date when Aaron is going to

128
00:35:44.480 --> 00:36:01.040
update that reader and b how we're going to issue that process, especially with the change over and the offices and what that looks like. So, uh we'll hopefully have a uh something to be sent out and solidified here uh next month. So, if so, if we need to push that out and

129
00:36:01.040 --> 00:36:17.760
delay that till August 1, we'll do that. We'll or 15. We'll just wait to see what Erin's timeline looks like and then we'll we'll make that work and we'll we'll advertise that out. Um I talked about the projects. If you haven't taken a look, that stadium looks

130
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:33.119
completely different and that's going to be amazing when that is done. I'm really excited. I went out and watched a little bit to just see them cuz they've already started doing trenching the irrigation and now they were doing with this tractor and this I don't even know what

131
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:49.839
he was hauling behind it but just excavating that crown even more today was that was pretty sweet. So um and the beams have already been installed for the concrete for the new scoreboard. So that's going to be, you know, if you the old scoreboard was on

132
00:36:49.839 --> 00:37:06.000
that side by the track and field, but more further away in the middle, this one's going to be more on the straightaway on this side. Uh because we should have the ability to tie in to um results, I think, for a second for the

133
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:23.040
timing system for the track so that that part can be up and show. It won't be official, but it could just be a visual for others as well. Um that scoreboard is going to be completely digital. So it'll have uh

134
00:37:23.040 --> 00:37:37.520
when it's the soccer games that'll be playing out there, it's not going to be under first down and whatever to go third quarter, whatever. It'll be specific for soccer, specific for football, and specific for track and field like you can go lane heat, etc. So

135
00:37:37.520 --> 00:37:54.320
looking forward to that. Um, summer care is off and rocking and rolling. We're at 164 right now with with more coming in. Uh, our readiness numbers are are still at 64. So, we'll look at are at 64. So, we'll look at

136
00:37:54.320 --> 00:38:10.000
what that is going to look like here after the 4th around July 15. Our bomber care numbers are at 41. Uh we're continuing to talk with Tammy again today about the weekly social media post on Friday. She was able to do that

137
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:27.280
remotely this last Friday, but we'll continue to get that squared away. Um going back to the projects, tennis court again, we're looking at July 6 to the till the end of the month. Hopefully that may be done sooner. Uh just talk a

138
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:43.359
little bit about this time last year going into that project. We didn't have any cracks on the playing surfaces. Well, the work that they did, we now after this winter, we have cracks on the playing surfaces. So, hopefully that can get addressed and whatever that cold

139
00:38:43.359 --> 00:38:58.640
weather process that this company's doing can can alleviate uh that. Um, Hall of Fame wall, we're shooting for mid to end of July. That's uh a BFW project donation outside the gym. uh we

140
00:38:58.640 --> 00:39:15.200
really just need to get uh a those plaques down and talk about what that process is going to look like. Our end goal is that we want to do something on the fieldhouse hallway, you know, between the hallway doors of 9 and 11. We want to utilize that space. Um, we

141
00:39:15.200 --> 00:39:32.320
talked about the existing fieldhouse bleachers get relocated and the new ones coming in at the So, got one question on the scoreboard and it's not the new one, but when when the soft the varsity softball field is being used and we're

142
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:48.240
trying to either not use the scoreboard or use it, Frank Hawk >> Yeah. >> Somehow Frank Hawk is controlling the varsity scoreboard. There's a radio signal like when we first installed that softball, but I have I wasn't aware. Does that still happen?

143
00:39:48.240 --> 00:40:03.920
>> Yeah, we cuz it's funny cuz AU softball, which I'm lucky enough to coach is uh very strict. No score. No, you do not keep score. Well, there's a score up there from Frank Hawks if there's a game going on. And not only is it confusing, but we're not supposed to do it. And

144
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:19.599
>> but anyway, I I just figured it's a simple fix, but not simple for me, simple for someone know. >> No, that's that's good to know. It happened for 10 years softball too. >> Yeah. Um the very first home game, you know, I had talked to the the softball

145
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:35.200
coaches cuz it's you it's either run out of off an iPad or a phone because it's through an app or >> which is slick. And here, so here it's first game, we're getting ready to play, all the hype, blah, blah, blah, and all of a sudden it's not working. And I look over and uh they call me over from Frank

146
00:40:35.200 --> 00:40:50.000
Cox that their scoreboard is not working. And so now I'm over a Frank Cox and whatever they're punching there is showing up on this post. >> So thankfully, uh, the president for Navy Electronics takes my phone calls. Um, and we were able to try to quickly

147
00:40:50.000 --> 00:41:06.720
get something rectified, but we'll have that I'll add that to the list. We'll have them when they come down after the fourth for installation. We'll have them take a look at that as well. So, they should be on they have the ability to be on separate radio signals. >> So, somehow something

148
00:41:06.720 --> 00:41:28.000
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Appreciate it. >> Jammed up, but yeah. No, >> those are stupid problems to have that will get fixed. >> Yep. >> All right. Any other questions for Reed? So, we will move on to

149
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:46.079
action items. Uh, first off, we'll start with a consideration to approve the fiscal year 26 final revised budget. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, you guys have seen a lot of this information in the last three board meetings. Um,

150
00:41:46.079 --> 00:42:01.440
I'm glad this will be the last one for a while. Um so this would be the the final revision. Obviously things have a tendency to change still as they go through audit uh in the year end gets closed out and there are funds that uh that may be shifted back and forth

151
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:16.960
between the fiscal years depending on whether project gets completed. Uh what date the the project was you know started versus when it was finished and we can pay it. Some of those things will be able to be booked back into the 26. Uh some will need to be moved into 27. So there still be some some changes and

152
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:32.400
updating, but this will be the final revision that we'll do on the budget. Uh from the last revision, there's not a change uh in the general fund. We are doing even a little bit better. I think it was 111,000 to a good uh last revision. Now we're at about 135. Uh and

153
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:49.520
again, there's some potential that may be better than that, but uh from where we started the fiscal year and where we've been going uh in prior years in our fund balance, uh this is a very good step in at the right direction. Now, fund balance, unassigned percentage is based on the amount uh of unassigned

154
00:42:49.520 --> 00:43:04.960
fund balance in related to your uh general fund expenditures. So, $100,000 doesn't make a big movement, but it does move in the right direction. Um we have some things in planned through finance committee and uh funds coming up that not only is the policy to try to get to

155
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:22.720
8 to 12% of unassigned fund balance. Um but when the track dollar start rolling uh that first payment goes right directly to unassigned fund balance which will significantly impact and help uh that fund out help support what we do in in the district. um which you know in

156
00:43:22.720 --> 00:43:38.079
all when we get to it everyone would like to avoid cuts and reductions if possible and when you have a healthy fund balance you're able to absorb some of those highs and lows a little bit better uh when it's sitting at three and a half% uh you're really making decisions on a you know a check-by check

157
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:54.400
basis so to speak um so this is moving in the right direction again not a whole lot of big changes in that we're just trying to do is tie out maybe some big variances in whether it be utilities where they come from uh general supplies. Uh often times there'll be uh staff that have used all

158
00:43:54.400 --> 00:44:10.160
their supplies or a little bit extra, some that haven't used all theirs. So, it's kind of just balancing that out so that uh when we show auditors their books, there's not a lot of variances between uh account codes or funds. Um food service that is all negative

159
00:44:10.160 --> 00:44:26.800
balance uh in terms of uh expenditures over revenues. Uh there's a positive fund balance coming into the fiscal year for food service. So, that stays positive. uh was part of buying some equipment uh this fiscal year. Uh that's the reason why it's nice to have a little bit of fund balance in that fund.

160
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:43.040
Uh when things do happen and either whether it be breakdown or to uh better serve uh the students and staff, um we're able to do those sorts of things. So the negative balance is there, but it's not concerning as the fund balance in total for food service stays positive. Uh community is another good

161
00:44:43.040 --> 00:44:59.040
year for community ed. is now uh at the end of last fisc we were able to get to a positive fund balance in community ed while you're allowed by statute to have a negative balance in community ed um at some point it's going to be written off and the general fund is what has to eat that uh so to be able to get that fund

162
00:44:59.040 --> 00:45:14.800
to go positive and now showing how they're going to add to it this year is a very good thing for that fund really shows how well uh both the uh the school readiness preschool can kids type programming is doing over uh in that area and the kids we have involved in Y

163
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:29.839
um construction slight change in that as we um that original construction bond that we got it seemed like forever now because part of that was the roof section we did and then last year should have been the tennis resurface. Uh we're going to ramp that up finally hopefully

164
00:45:29.839 --> 00:45:46.880
this the summer um close out that fund uh from construction. Uh but the variance in there was from the change uh we thought we'd have all the stuff wrapped up prior to coming into this fiscal year. So when you compare it to the initial budget, uh there's a large variance. Uh but those are all funds that we have available. Uh

165
00:45:46.880 --> 00:46:03.200
what you'll see is once all the construction fund dollars are done, that fund balance will be zero and will remain that way until uh we're fortunate enough to have something where we're doing another project uh that is large in scale uh to the building. Uh but that'll stay zero for a while. Debt

166
00:46:03.200 --> 00:46:19.119
service is really set up to the needs of the bond payments that we have. So, uh, we're fortunate in our county that, uh, taxes are collected pretty well. Uh, the levy is set at 105% assuming it'll be some delinquent taxes are not received. Um, so to see a little bit negative

167
00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:35.520
there is fine. We've got enough fund balance to cover the payments. Uh, and what the county does when we have an excess of debt is they take that back to help reduce the the burden to taxpayers. Um, it doesn't go back as a rebate to taxpayers. it just lowers uh the taxable

168
00:46:35.520 --> 00:46:51.760
amount for that levy year. Uh trust agency has had typically been scholarship accounts but in the last couple years it's really changed uh with kind of the emphasis on the scoreboards and the advertising uh the Gemini large donation uh but also you see the big

169
00:46:51.760 --> 00:47:08.319
increase in both the revenues and expenditures on this one is with the receiving of the donation from Ed Foundation and PTO I've added that into trusted agency. So if there be payments that need to go out uh this year um it's fine because it roll over to fiscal 27. So availability to access those access

170
00:47:08.319 --> 00:47:24.240
those funds um if for some good reason the the project were to come underneath that 38 those dollars stay there and can be used for other things. Um from the initial quotes we're going to probably be right at that 380 or touch over. Um but it looks like everything is

171
00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:40.240
progressing real well over there. The last one is really a suggestion by our auditors to put in student activity. Student activity is under board control now. Um it has been for the last several years, but we'd never have shown a budget for it and we usually get hit uh this is a minor ding, but whenever I can

172
00:47:40.240 --> 00:47:57.440
avoid something like that, I'd like to um about a large variance in student activity account budget to actual. Uh so by putting in the fund balances for all the student activities as the expense of the revenue, uh it should help alleviate having that. uh it's just a minor ding but that large variance from actual to

173
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:14.400
budget. So again not a whole lot changes from when we presented this in April but for sure if you have any questions or anything specific I could sure sure answer. >> Interesting comment around the delinquent taxes I'm sure it's a small impact but you know from all counties is

174
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:30.800
that is that a common negative impact that counties >> Yeah I you know I guess like I said we're fortunate here in Gucci County that taxes are collected pretty low. I would need to probably talk to some of my colleagues to see if in different areas of the state. Um I imagine there are

175
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:46.559
maybe way up north if they have hard collecting. >> Sure. >> I'm sure in maybe shrinking counties or you know they be more difficult. So they usually do set the levy all the way across the state at 105% expecting that there's probably going to be some portion that just doesn't get collected.

176
00:48:46.559 --> 00:49:01.280
Um, interestingly enough on that too, uh, people have to do the reconciliation for taxes. Um, there's like a a one year, a 5year, 10 year look back. Uh, so when they do actually receive some of those delinquent taxes because you're you're still owed for them, uh, we'll

177
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:19.839
get those back into our books. >> Just one of those things that are fun if you're a number. >> Yeah, I can I can kind of say it's pretty much statewide. I we're working in government finance on the state level. Yeah. We see it across the board.

178
00:49:19.839 --> 00:49:33.440
>> Mhm. >> So, yeah. >> And the programs that rely so heavily on that tax, I got to imagine it's a small percentage, but it's impact our size. >> Yeah. And for bigger cities into bigger >> adds up, I'm sure. Yeah. >> I just had one question on the community

179
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:49.839
service piece. uh for our employees that have uh uh dual roles that are part of community ed and stuff. Is is there >> wage that that's prorated into that as well? >> We have we have a lot of staff that are

180
00:49:49.839 --> 00:50:06.960
in between funds and myself because it doesn't matter for the district. Large portion is in general fund but I also serve food service and community. So a portion of my salary benefits would be allocated that way. um just because he's sitting right here with being community ed and with AD it's kind of a split

181
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:23.040
between general fund and community ed. So uh that's part of the audit process as well going through all payroll making sure that folks are according to the right areas uh whether it be just programmatically for the general fund science math history whatever um but

182
00:50:23.040 --> 00:50:39.760
also by fund if you're splitting areas and try to allocate that correctly. So yes, you'll see staff and therefore pull out the whole audit or the whole budget, all the lines where people are diving into several different some are in several different areas. >> So that should be like that should be a

183
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:54.800
true number for community service. >> Yep. >> All right. Thank you. >> Any other questions for Josh? >> Oh, thank you for going through that. Yeah. >> I would look for a motion to approve the

184
00:50:54.800 --> 00:51:16.800
fiscal year 26 final. Final >> I'll make a motion. I'll second. >> On the motion on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos? Motion carries.

185
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:30.800
Item number two, consideration to approve the 2526 calendar adjustment recognizing snow days adjusting from 174 to 172. We were closed on December 10th

186
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:49.359
of 2025 and January 6th of 2026. Does anyone need any explanation of this? >> I'm good. If not, I would look for a motion to approve that. >> I'll make a motion.

187
00:51:49.359 --> 00:52:04.880
>> Rodney on the motion. >> Second move on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> Oppos. Motion carries. Item three, consideration to approve the

188
00:52:04.880 --> 00:52:22.160
26 through 28 administrative contracts and support staff work agreements. who is going to explain that? >> I can give you the overview of that and you kind of there ask questions

189
00:52:22.160 --> 00:52:39.520
whichever you like. Um it's kind of directed or charged uh with kind of looking at contracts and doing some right sizing um within uh the area um this round. So, it's kind of flip-flops

190
00:52:39.520 --> 00:52:55.760
back and forth. Every other year, it's the teacher negotiation and we just basically do one contract. Uh, and then the opposite year is 15 other contracts. Uh, sometimes 16, uh, superintendent contracted a three-year contract. So, that will hit the miss. Um, so it's either 15 or 16 contracts that we're

191
00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:13.280
going through. Um the kind of the goal was to try to get uh as many of these contracts into um a competitive realm with uh area school districts uh and area schools um not so

192
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:29.599
much to set the bar but to at least get ourselves up to average um where possible in HVL um in order to start the process that started quite a while ago but we really can't put any work into the work agreements until the FY27 budget is built. Uh so we can see what

193
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:45.520
we have to work with. Um as you know when we showed the preliminary budget for FY27 uh it showed that we projected about a $300,000 surplus over to the good uh to help build our unassigned fund balance. That

194
00:53:45.520 --> 00:54:00.319
budget included uh everything we were able to put into these agreements. So um if you were to approve these tonight uh it has already built it within the fiscal 27 budget. So uh that that part has been taken care of. Um,

195
00:54:00.319 --> 00:54:17.040
in terms of I think maybe you're used to seeing uh teacher settled for whatever the first year, second year percentage each one uh that everything else follows it in order to kind of right size or make these contracts um more competitive with the

196
00:54:17.040 --> 00:54:32.720
area in the same positions. Uh the percentages are all over the place. Some are at that same percentage as teachers settled for. uh some could be significantly higher depending on whether it be the duties, the length of experience or just how they kind of stacked up against um some of the area

197
00:54:32.720 --> 00:54:50.000
contracts. Uh one thing to kind of especially for that been around for a while and for those that haven't, it's kind of a history part of it. Um with a fund balance being as low as it has been for our district for so long, a lot of times that really impact how we're able to negotiate and what we can offer. uh

198
00:54:50.000 --> 00:55:07.040
because first and foremost uh the job in the finance area is to make sure that we're solid and can get get through each fiscal year. Uh we really can't offer what we don't have. Uh so often times contracts are settled for maybe less uh certainly than inflation but less than maybe what they could have been and the

199
00:55:07.040 --> 00:55:23.200
gap just kind of grows and grows and grows over the years that happens. Uh sometimes the state uh in terms of their increase on um the formula uh the revenue formula It's all student driven. Um, when they only put one or two% onto

200
00:55:23.200 --> 00:55:38.559
the formula, it's really hard when you're at three and a half% fund balance to offer more than that amount. So, contracts can kind of tend to get out of line sometimes. Um, so this is kind of our effort to try to make things right sized with keeping that overall goal of

201
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:54.000
uh pushing our finances towards that 12 or 8 to 12% unassigned. Um, so it doesn't get all these contracts exactly all the way to that, but again, we're trying not to set the bar or anything, but at least trying to get folks to an average in the area. And really the

202
00:55:54.000 --> 00:56:08.960
overall reasoning for that and why we were directed to do that is uh we want to make sure that we retain and attract quality people. We want to have the best employees that we can have in the district for our students. Um, we want to make sure we can be competitive and

203
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:29.119
keep those people around. So, uh, that was kind of the emphasis or the the forethought that went into these work agreements and, uh, and certainly answering questions or if you have questions or further information needed, I can try to help out. >> Well, first off, has everyone been able

204
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:52.440
to review the contracts? >> No, >> I have not. >> I didn't have chance to. >> Okay. So, I think if they haven't been given to you and you haven't had time to review them,

205
00:56:52.720 --> 00:57:11.119
you probably certainly can't vote on them, >> I would agree to that. Um, I also think, um, having comparative information I think is helpful, too. who I know I kind of talked with Josh about having like okay well what are some of the schools in our area paying for these types of

206
00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:26.799
rules and that is helpful no different than you know what we do with teachers and stuff like that I think it's helpful to see comparative numbers and >> um just kind of on that quite a little bit earlier we're talking about I've put something together that has it >> the survey sur information that we have

207
00:57:26.799 --> 00:57:42.640
is superintendent survey that is locked within that group so I have limited access to it and it's kind of all over the place so to try to summarize that for you real quickly. They I didn't quite get that accomplished. I do have some information >> that gives you, you know, a high a low

208
00:57:42.640 --> 00:57:58.079
on average and then reach the contracts kind of ended. If you want to take a look at that, >> um I don't know that's necessarily a fiveminute look through, but um if you want to have further information than that, it would take a little time to put that together. >> Yeah, I think it'd be helpful to see

209
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:13.760
understanding the context you provide us and via email just around the process, right? to say we are looking to make sure we are right sizing for competitive pay but also you know quick search that I was doing make anticipating to see the contracts right you can see Northfield

210
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:28.960
Hastings Pine Islands those are readily available >> and I think that helping us understand so we can answer those questions for the community to say this is yes those districts could be bigger could be smaller but ultimately this is our benchmarking exercise that we do um

211
00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:44.559
would help us at least me be able to go through that so when we are able to view the contracts we can say okay is this percentage on average and should that be immediately this year or can we do this for next year knowing right we have

212
00:58:44.559 --> 00:59:01.359
teachers negotiation next year as well so making sure that I think would be helpful to see the order and understand that process a little bit and then and see the numbers that we're comparative to and then two what are the percentage I understand that what you say there's 15 or 16 contracts baked into this

213
00:59:01.359 --> 00:59:16.960
>> yep >> and right you raise a very Good point that through these last many years many people in our industry office wear multiple hats. Now understanding that I think would help us to say okay this individual is carrying on maybe two FTE

214
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:33.680
and when do we hit the threshold to say we are exceeding our current FTE by three. >> Do we need to bring on one more? I don't always think throwing resources at a problem is the right way to solve it. But if we get to that point to see that that should be a discussion because it alleviate the burden and the resources

215
00:59:33.680 --> 00:59:49.920
off of I think everyone in that office is there how give us the opportunity to have a pretty healthy review on what's going on or what where the proposals were coming from. >> Yeah. And and you're not wrong. We obviously do want to attract, you know, right kind of crowd, you know, to be in

216
00:59:49.920 --> 01:00:04.880
our building and be around our kiddos and everything like that to support them too and keep that in mind as well. >> I think for me because I I had reached out to Jeff on trying to get some of the input that Pete spoke to and and he just kind of explained to me that this has

217
01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:20.640
been how we've done it for some time and I've been part of those, right? And I but I think that um what I what opened my eyes was during the teacher negotiation that I was a part of this past goround. It was it was well laid out. I thought I

218
01:00:20.640 --> 01:00:37.599
thought um as being on that committee with Clinton and the TWIC, we talked about it. We met on it. We went through those contracts and when it was done, I was able to answer answer questions in the community of what did they settle on or I was able to tell you like here's

219
01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:54.079
what here's what the percentage is. I can tell you exact what the cost of the district was. And I think that was really well done. And with this, I I can't answer a lot of those questions that I'm kind of getting from the community. And I think part of it is we did pass a referendum. There's tracked

220
01:00:54.079 --> 01:01:09.520
money coming into the district and we know it's all separate, but the community doesn't necessarily know that. So, they're wondering, you know, what where is it being spent? Who, you know, is it on people? Is it on football fields? I think that would really alleviate some of this if we had

221
01:01:09.520 --> 01:01:26.480
that information because I can't answer those questions right now. when it's um I I have full trust in what what the group did and and that's not it. It's more so how do I communicate that back to the public because ultimately that's why I'm in this position and and I want

222
01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:42.559
to do a good job of that and ask those questions. I personally think this is a perfect thing to that should roll through the finance committee. Um you know I think we have one finance committee uh meeting a year. Um I think certainly we could have two um you know

223
01:01:42.559 --> 01:01:59.200
to at least go through some of this stuff to say all right well here's the cost of the district and you know it's just more eyeballs on it I think would be helpful for me um just going forward you know >> just to quickly say the difference

224
01:01:59.200 --> 01:02:15.440
between the teachers contract and then the off year uh with 15 contracts some are pretty easy one or two meetings some might be >> more >> uh to get you that kind of same level in involvement. Uh could mean, you know, 40 50 meetings for you. That's probably not

225
01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:31.359
real efficient. Um but going forward, you know, we kind of discussed, you know, we meet as a negotiate committee, district office, you may set the parameters how things want to go. >> Yeah. >> Um >> Yeah. No, I I like I I don't want to be a part of those 50 meet like I I nobody

226
01:02:31.359 --> 01:02:48.880
wants me there for those. Um but I would say uh okay, they're they're we feel good about where we're at. We're done now. And then that's where I think it would be useful to have a >> a synopsis. >> Here's where we're at, whether it's through finance or negotiation, whatever it may be. I I don't really care what committee, I guess, but I just think

227
01:02:48.880 --> 01:03:04.160
>> that would be helpful. And I and I do know I want to be cognizant of everyone's time because I do know how much time you guys put in. Um, so I'm not trying to make more work, but when it comes to answering questions in the community and I can't look at someone in the eye and tell them what it is or it's

228
01:03:04.160 --> 01:03:21.039
hard for me and and I understand I could, you know, come in more often and ask these questions and whatnot, but I think everybody should have that and we can't all do that together. So, >> I'd say two meetings would be reasonable. One, one at the beginning to set up a plan of what we're looking at

229
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:37.839
doing and then two when everything's all said and done. Now we now we have something to work about that can be presented to the group. And I think I don't think that that's not unreasonable whatsoever. Uh I think the process that just played out

230
01:03:37.839 --> 01:03:54.240
in front of us over the last few days or whatever else I think it was a lack of transparency. I don't think we have much information to even work on. I I'm frankly quite disappointed that uh our board is just being asked to half of our

231
01:03:54.240 --> 01:04:13.920
board is being asked to be vote on something they don't even have information on. So I'm kind of disappointed. >> Yeah, especially um a lot of us are pretty new. This is this is a first and so I Yeah, I felt like I would just like to understand the process, I guess, and

232
01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:30.559
just Yeah. And then and then we would know, you know, going forward, okay, yep, that's right. This is this is the process for these contracts or whatever. Um, and then yeah, we can be transparent to the community when they come to us or email us and say, "What was this for? I noticed this on the agenda. You know,

233
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:52.559
how did it go? What did this what did this mean?" I I don't feel good making a motion or voting on this at all put together. I mean, and again, I I it's it's nothing more than I need the I need the information and I'm sure it's out there.

234
01:04:52.559 --> 01:05:09.599
I just don't have it and uh would like to have it so I can feel good about it and we can because I do want to pay people and I do want to catch them up. I just don't know how much it's catching them up or if you know I I think that would be helpful for me and I would feel

235
01:05:09.599 --> 01:05:26.799
much more confident in a in a voting situation >> and seeing the plan laid out like we did this recently with Aaron from WE right he laid out his the plan year-over-year here's what my percentages now he's one individual so a lot easier to put those numbers together but it was very helpful

236
01:05:26.799 --> 01:05:43.359
to see those percentages right are reflective of what okay what are other co-ops or other districts or I mean from a percentage wise you can apply the numbers to most uh you know jobs that are applicable in those fields. So that was helpful to see hey over the next three years four years this is what the payment fee would be their salaries

237
01:05:43.359 --> 01:05:59.280
would be. So I I I would like to see that as well but also hey if we did it in one lump sum or one year versus hey we broke it out over two years to potentially right I got to imagine we're going to be covering up some ground here for however many years. Is it the best

238
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:15.520
practice to do it in one time payment or to spread that out over two years? What does that look like too? Is it I don't know from a numbers perspective if >> depending on the value. >> Yeah. And in a percentage wise, does it work better that way to say, hey, I also want to avoid, hey, we get in a year and

239
01:06:15.520 --> 01:06:31.839
then we go into teacher negotiations next year and are we back to zero and asking for more money because we overspent, right? And not not saying that, you know, you do a phenomenal job pulling that up, but there's a lot of things that we that come out of left field. We can't always plan, >> but Josh did say that this is already

240
01:06:31.839 --> 01:06:49.039
built into the budget for for years. So, >> it's more of just seeing how the what the process is, how how it's laid out. And I mean, these are all these contracts are two-year contracts, so they are going to it's not there's a increase on the second year, so it's not

241
01:06:49.039 --> 01:07:06.160
like it's all in the first year. So, uh, it's more of just everyone needing to have the information of what we're looking at so we actually know what we're voting on. >> Yeah. And and I don't want to hold this up, right? I want to to to get this done for our people and get them to But we

242
01:07:06.160 --> 01:07:22.799
just have to I just have to know where we're falling. >> That's what So, this these do uh renewals on July 1st, correct? >> That's when new contractors start. >> Yeah. So, we definitely want to make it so people aren't working uh with contract without a contract. Uh we don't

243
01:07:22.799 --> 01:07:40.559
like it when teachers are ever doing that. So, uh that's where we have time to set up a special meeting at some point. >> You said July 1st. >> July 1st. That's based on if we decide to table it

244
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:58.000
for more information is >> I did stop in today and I was able to look at a few but it's a lot and it's very overwhelming just to look at them all but I get why some of them are getting where they were to where they

245
01:07:58.000 --> 01:08:13.599
are now or where they want to be now. Um, but like I said, there was a lot and I probably didn't look at get to look at everything, but Lori and Josh answered all my questions I had. Um, but yeah, so it's just a lot and needs to I think

246
01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:30.080
everybody just needs to take a peek. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. And you know, I asked to see them and I was told I could come in and look at them. I just it wouldn't didn't work today with my got work schedule. So, um, thank you for for that, but I didn't get a chance. So I think everybody's

247
01:08:30.080 --> 01:08:44.960
probably in similar boat where just kind of clear you're talking kind of like going forward a little different with the two meetings but essentially that second meeting with the synopsis information kind of boil it all down for each one of the contracts so you guys can have >> correct

248
01:08:44.960 --> 01:09:03.199
>> yeah just two total meetings that's what just like when I got the teachers contracts done it's just two >> two for you a whole heck Yeah. >> No, that I think that would be a lot helpful and be much appreciated and go

249
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:21.440
would go a long ways. So, because then we don't have to look at rushing something. And I and I don't want to say this is rushed because I know there's been a lot of time put into it, but I'm just saying I think from the board standpoint, this looks rushed that hey,

250
01:09:21.440 --> 01:09:38.480
the agenda come out on I think it was Wednesday or Thursday or whatever else and here we are to vote on it and uh and there wasn't time to get given really information for you. So, >> and I'll say too, I was offered a time to come in today. I didn't have time

251
01:09:38.480 --> 01:09:55.120
with my actual job as well. So, it's not like I wasn't offered time. I just Yeah. I didn't have time today. So, >> yeah. Are what those should we make the time to plan to come in to do that or is that something that can be shared via email?

252
01:09:55.120 --> 01:10:11.360
Well, I guess maybe a question for Lori, but none of the work agreements would be official or signed. So, I don't know if we want to have them voted out. I don't know if that's an issue or not. >> So, if it stayed within maybe no harm fall on that.

253
01:10:11.360 --> 01:10:28.480
>> Yeah, I'm not sure on that process. I don't want to put anything in jeopardy in that, but if it's if we were to discuss it tonight, it would be helpful to be emailed just knowing our some of our job schedules aren't >> easy to get in. Yeah, because I'm happy to make it time. You guys are more than confident in that and it just work. So,

254
01:10:28.480 --> 01:10:45.280
if there is a day of the week that we could, hey, between these hours, you know, and I can plan around that. I got a couple days set up. So, what I'm hearing, what what I'm going to recommend, yeah, I'll make the recommendation is that we're going to uh

255
01:10:45.280 --> 01:10:59.840
not vote on this tonight and we're going to push this through to another meeting in the future. But what I would say to all all of you that haven't reviewed is that you get a time set up with Josh and Lori in the next uh

256
01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:16.640
few days if possible to get in to go review that. So then we can kind of try to set up a date for a special meeting here relatively soon. Uh ideally beginning of next week probably something like that. >> And I have the contracts so if anybody

257
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:34.880
is able to stay later this evening they certainly can look through them. I have them. So, >> so I would need someone to make a motion for that. >> I'll make a motion to um hold the vote on um the administrative contracts and

258
01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:50.400
support staff work agreements um to table it to a special meeting would have to be next next week is the 29th and the 30th, Monday, Tuesday. So would >> it doesn't it it >> if we're shoot have to be it's just it

259
01:11:50.400 --> 01:12:10.320
would be nice to have them done by >> correct >> July 1st. Yeah if if we're able to yeah >> to the next available meeting time frame. >> I'll second that point. >> Okay. Jolyn on the motion to table this

260
01:12:10.320 --> 01:12:27.440
until a future date. Uh Pete on the second, any other discussion? >> I I just have one thing. >> I I think that they should be able to be shared via email to this group. Um we see lots of things that are confidential

261
01:12:27.440 --> 01:12:44.080
through being on the board and um I think everyone here is realizes that that is not public information. You know, that I would like to see that done. Um, I don't know if that needs to be a part of this or not, but um, we can talk to Jeff later, maybe at a different

262
01:12:44.080 --> 01:13:05.520
different time, but I want to see that done. All right. Uh, all in favor say I. >> I. I. >> Opposed? Motion carries. Item number four, consideration to

263
01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:22.080
approve fiscal year 27 property work comp and cyber insurance renewal. >> I can speak to this and actually this might actually be beneficial to have a second item on your special meeting. Um

264
01:13:22.080 --> 01:13:39.600
so the renewal for property is a little bit delayed and we should have it tomorrow or Wednesday. Um same with the cyber we do have the work comp. Uh I would have recommended for you to approve it up to our budgeted amount if we have to look at something else if they were to come over that. But uh if

265
01:13:39.600 --> 01:13:55.440
as long as we have the special meeting before July 1, uh we can have this as a second item to that meeting. Uh the only issue we run to is if that special meeting is after July 1, uh we didn't need to have the board approve rider for the next month to cover us as this policy would end or the current policy

266
01:13:55.440 --> 01:14:11.120
would end on June 30th technically July 1st at midnight. Do you expect any major changes from that? I mean, >> uh, it's hard to save a property. Uh, the last increase was probably significant. Um,

267
01:14:11.120 --> 01:14:27.679
part of the reason were some claims with the hail claim. Um, part of it is making sure we have the correct values on our buildings that we added that area with the CTE space. Um, and we always want to make sure that we're as the the building appraises each year like property does,

268
01:14:27.679 --> 01:14:42.880
we want to make sure that we're covered in case of uh uh rebuild if something were catastrophic were to happen. So that all impacts some of these rates. Um, I want to talk to Jerry today, Gener Insurance. Um, she hasn't seen the wild

269
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:58.640
increases like have been in the past, especially in smaller commercial and residential. Um, our work comp did come in better, but it has no bearing at all on property. That's really a matter of claims and, you know, work injuries. Um,

270
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:14.880
so hard to say for sure. I do have a little bit built into it at an increase. I usually don't divulge that until the quote's been in, but um, >> do you know when they'll have a quote >> to make? They're expecting it to come either tomorrow or Wednesday. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. Does it

271
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:29.760
>> work out all their information sent there? It's a pretty long process for it, but uh just didn't quite get >> I know. I just know sometimes it could be >> a day or two before too. >> Yeah. No, Jerry expects it tomorrow or Wednesday. >> Does property include the work being done on the football as well or does

272
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:46.400
that need to be completed first before >> uh in terms of added to the value? That work need to be completed first? It'd be some I guess seen as something that's in process. Um the improvements there for certain we want to cover the the score port that's brand new.

273
01:15:46.400 --> 01:16:05.840
>> Um I don't know what they're going to consider other than I mean the irrigation would be the side is just replacing the existing that's how we cover LTFM on that. That's the existing cover. >> Well then first off let's uh is Monday or Tuesday available? Can

274
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:20.880
everyone >> anyone next >> say they can make it by July >> whether that is an evening or a morning we can kind of do it whenever >> it depends on what we see for what we get for information if people are able to go in and see the information right

275
01:16:20.880 --> 01:16:36.640
>> I guess they got full week but >> yeah I think it's helpful sometimes to stay on a Monday because for the most part a lot of us kind of block off these Mondays during this time frame anyways but >> if we stayed on a Monday I'm okay in the evening not in the morning >> I agree say

276
01:16:36.640 --> 01:17:01.320
If everyone has their >> say that again Monday is good for what >> evening the 29th >> and it should be you know everybody will have reviewed it should be time should be too late meeting not available Monday evening on the 29th

277
01:17:01.360 --> 01:17:16.320
>> Tuesday would be much better for me but I'm one person So >> I could also do Tuesday >> I could do Tuesday. >> Yeah. >> And that and I could do morning or evening that if that's better for people that does it.

278
01:17:16.320 --> 01:17:38.080
>> Mhm. >> Morning, evening, middle of the day. >> Uh in terms of that the contract would need to be so I mean it technically is July 1st but that first payable is not until July 15th. Okay. >> So, why you don't want me to have people working out of contract in the first

279
01:17:38.080 --> 01:17:59.280
part of July? >> There's a little 15. >> Okay. >> Pete, what was your preference on the date? >> I could do Mon I mean Monday. Tuesday would be best, but I could do Monday. >> Tuesday morning or no? >> How early are we all in agreement on

280
01:17:59.280 --> 01:18:16.000
Tuesday now? >> I can do Tuesday. >> You can do you do Tuesday? >> Tuesday morning. Tuesday >> for sure is so we're for sure on Tuesday so we're good there morning >> I would prefer evening but I could do I

281
01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:32.640
could make morning work if that's what works for the group 4th of July week >> it's Tuesday 4th of July is your win >> the cabin okay anyway sorry uh it doesn't matter again I'm also just one person as well so what

282
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:48.719
So that evening is better. You can do either. >> I can do either. >> I could do either. I'd prefer it to be early. You say like I don't know how early you guys like, but >> yeah, I would say that too. >> I take five. >> Oh boy.

283
01:18:48.719 --> 01:19:04.960
>> Might be by yourself. >> All right. >> So you guys have at least one of you has to be a part of that, right? So and >> what's your back? >> We're here. >> Is Jeff back? Well, I have a basketball tour, but I get somebody else covered.

284
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:20.880
So, >> in the evening or in the morning? >> Uh, it's not the schedule's not released yet. It could be >> what? Monday. Does it going to be Monday, Tuesday? >> Uh, it is Tuesday, Wednesday. >> Oh, god. >> Back to Monday. >> But it it doesn't matter. It's summer basketball. It doesn't matter. I didn't

285
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:39.440
send anybody to cover it. >> I mean, I think for the sake of the meeting, we definitely want you and or Jeff and Lori. I mean, I do Tuesday. I'll be there. >> Okay. >> Anytime. >> What's your morning date or time?

286
01:19:39.440 --> 01:19:55.040
>> 7. >> I can do as early as as is as is needed. Are we good with morning? >> I would be fine with morning. >> Sunday. You can do that. >> The earlier the better. I would echo, but I don't want to make people come here early. >> My daughter has weights at

287
01:19:55.040 --> 01:20:14.880
6:15. >> Correct. Also, I also echo that >> 6:00 Tuesday. >> Yeah, I'm here. >> Okay. >> 6:30 or 6 do that anyway. >> We could do 6:30. >> 6:30. >> Yeah, I think that's appropriate. >> Okay. >> 6:30 Tuesday morning. >> Look at us.

288
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:31.760
>> We're all good on that. Yeah. >> Okay. >> 6:30 or 6:30? >> Yes. >> Oh, all right. All right. So then we're going to want someone to or I'm going to want someone to make a motion uh

289
01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:47.280
to to move to approve the 27 property work comp cyber uh insurance renewal to t or to table that the next special meeting on Tuesday.

290
01:20:47.280 --> 01:21:07.120
I'll I'll make a motion for what Clint just said for 6:30 a.m. on June 30th. >> Okay. Randy on the motion. >> I'll second. >> Jody on the second. Any other discussion?

291
01:21:07.120 --> 01:21:24.080
All in favor say I. >> I. Oppose. Motion carries. All right. So, we got two items. All right. Anything else we can push? No. Uh item five, uh consideration to approve the 2627 milk and dairy proposals. Looks

292
01:21:24.080 --> 01:21:46.080
like we got a lot of options. >> Okay. >> Kind of like in recent years, uh one bid, Prairie Farms, our current vendor, uh they can supply the 5gallon bags as well as when we do have the half pints. really the only information you need to

293
01:21:46.080 --> 01:22:02.080
look at will be the top section um where it kind of breaks down what the expected cost will be. The bottom just kind of it really breaks it down on what the kids are drinking, how much of each one, what's being spent. Um more I guess just

294
01:22:02.080 --> 01:22:18.600
information to have but uh with only one bit to to look at options pretty limited any colors always black. We're not going to be buying black market milk

295
01:22:18.639 --> 01:22:37.920
>> seconds. >> How can I can I ask how how do you know how close our the estimate from last year was to the actual cost? >> Uh yeah, it's actually fairly close. I couldn't tell you exactly, you know, but but just a couple thousand bucks. >> Uh the >> our milk consumption looks to be going

296
01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:53.600
down. >> It >> less enrollment. >> Yeah. >> 22. It was the bold day. You had so many days that we weren't here. So each one of those is a no service day. And that's >> But we also offer that the summer numbers of milk and get included in that cuz we haven't always done that, right?

297
01:22:53.600 --> 01:23:08.400
And we have for a long time now, but not >> I think those numbers are in there. >> Yep. >> They're delivering to us now. So >> crazy. >> It looks like chocolate milk is the favorite. >> Milk is the winner.

298
01:23:08.400 --> 01:23:25.280
>> All right. I'm screwing around. I'll look for a motion to approve the 2627 milk and dairy proposals. >> I'll make a motion. Second Pet on the motion, Luke on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed.

299
01:23:25.280 --> 01:23:40.480
>> Motion carries. Item six, consideration to approve the 26 to 28 snow removal proposals. >> Uh got the same deal here. Uh we do have a little bit of a hybrid. Um it is only to be uh over 2 in of snowfall. We have

300
01:23:40.480 --> 01:23:55.920
equipment in addition we have had for the last couple years. Um Todd does have a kind of a qualifier in there that price is negotiable if fuel stabilizes. And when he came in to drop off the quote was indicated that if fuel were to either stabilize or start to go down

301
01:23:55.920 --> 01:24:12.400
that we can uh look at potentially lowering that. This would be the max for each time that they would clear all that. Uh in the past especially when we've had multiple vendors uh the board has like to see what kind of equipment they have available. Uh you definitely cannot do this with my ATV and plow. Um

302
01:24:12.400 --> 01:24:28.400
so it just kind of shows that they're able to get the snow removed because we do have some dead deadlines just to make sure with the can of kids starting or the school day starting that the stuff is cleared. >> Yeah. How much up is this compared to last year like

303
01:24:28.400 --> 01:24:44.400
>> so per time about 100 bucks. >> It's not bad. >> And that's really dependent on what mother nature does to us. And this is just for school days, correct? Reading this. >> No, it's snowing for the day. So from

304
01:24:44.400 --> 01:25:01.639
>> for all activities on the weekends, too. >> Yeah. >> If it's over two inches, if it's under two inches, that we're responsible for that. Yeah. >> Okay. >> My my opinion is that Anderson's been a good partner. Is that what everybody in the office feels as well? >> Perfect.

305
01:25:03.280 --> 01:25:18.480
>> No other questions. I'll look for a motion to approve the 2628 snow removal quote from Anderson Lawn Care. >> To approve second move on the motion on a second. Any other discussion?

306
01:25:18.480 --> 01:25:34.639
All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos. Carries. >> Item seven, consideration to approve the 26 27th athletic co-op agreements. Read. >> Yeah. Uh, I would just say this is

307
01:25:34.639 --> 01:25:49.760
Josh would agree with me on this. This is a superintendent agreement between uh Mr. Samson and Mr. Kelly from Randolph. Uh, you're not voting on anything that changes any of our cooperative programs.

308
01:25:49.760 --> 01:26:05.920
Um, we'll give you an update here. We'll start uh we did have an extracurricular committee meeting here uh virtually last Wednesday. Uh we had really good attendance with only three committee members missing and one one invited

309
01:26:05.920 --> 01:26:21.679
cooperative coach not able to uh attend. Um we reviewed Randolph had reached out recently about adding the potential of adding girls tennis as a cooperative program.

310
01:26:21.679 --> 01:26:38.480
um at uh they'd already notified us in before the start of golf season in March of dissolving the girls golf program and their wish to go on their own and have or inviting us to go and attend for them. There'll be more information on

311
01:26:38.480 --> 01:26:56.560
that uh at a later time. And uh we also talked about that they had reached out asking us to form dance as a cooperative program and there'll be more uh information for you at a later time. The two things that I'd really like you to to look at right now and I won't have

312
01:26:56.560 --> 01:27:12.400
anything for you to vote on tonight. Uh I did learn over the weekend either Friday or Saturday night. Uh Randolph is dropping FIT Academy from all of their cooperative programs. That's a I don't know if it's a charter school or what

313
01:27:12.400 --> 01:27:28.719
is, but it's at Apple Valley. And so they're in all of their programs and they're dropping that. So what that means for us is that and this might be at your next Tuesday meeting, but this it's just a new form of saying that this is us signing what the new girls

314
01:27:28.719 --> 01:27:44.560
basketball cooperative looks like or it's just us and Randolph and it's not including um fit academy. It doesn't change doesn't change anything other than that other than that. It's just a formality that we need to go through through that. >> Is that the only other group that they have that jumps in with them? That was

315
01:27:44.560 --> 01:28:01.440
there's just a one group that they have >> for girls basketball. >> Oh, >> and for you know there's other agreements that cooperatives that were with Northfield for alpine skiing and gymnastics, they're part of that. Red's a part of that, all that. But that's that's not what we're talking >> and that doesn't affect their MSHSL

316
01:28:01.440 --> 01:28:16.639
numbers, enrollment numbers. No, I doubt it because depends on whatever that number is at FIT Academy, it would count as half or go towards that, >> right? I just didn't know if that affected Randall's number like even if it's half or we don't know it doesn't

317
01:28:16.639 --> 01:28:34.800
>> because there would be for that they would be the whole school and it' be half of our number to go with that. Um, girls tennis we did talk about uh at great length at the extracurricular committee meeting on Wednesday.

318
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:51.760
Um, and I don't have anything ready for you to take action on uh simply because of the process that we need to go through whenever we form a cooperative. A, we want to run it through extracurricular committee to talk through and answer any

319
01:28:51.760 --> 01:29:08.159
questions to get the opinion of the head coach and what that looks like to talk about whether we would stay in the same class or not, whether that could bump us up, what that what that could look like. Um, once we have an agreement, and again,

320
01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:24.480
I'll give you all this information for the July meeting. Um, I then need to reach out to the high school league to let them know of our intention. We need to have this done and processed 30 days before the first day of practice, which is August 17th. Typically, traditionally, as long as we

321
01:29:24.480 --> 01:29:41.199
communicate well in advance, we get a little grace period with that. I still haven't heard back from them. So, that's why I for sure won't have that ready for you at Tuesday's meeting. The next step of the process is that I have to reach out to every region 1A a meeting for

322
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:56.719
their support and approval to us form a cooperative program as well. I have that that is squared away. We're taken care of there. So, right now we're just waiting on that high school league before I can come and present. Here's a recommendation from the extracurricular

323
01:29:56.719 --> 01:30:12.000
committee. Here's what our numbers is going to look like. It won't impact our classification for girls tennis because we are also uh we have Redwing which is much larger than our combined cooperative number and Wasika that is

324
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:27.280
larger than our combined cooperative number above us that are in section region class section one class 8 for girls tennis. So that should not impact us. We feel really good that that number would stay below I think it's uh close

325
01:30:27.280 --> 01:30:42.480
to 100 uh participants that would keep going. But again I I will give you all that information at the next meeting um when we're ready for them. So but I would just say this what you're voting on for this is just the superintendent

326
01:30:42.480 --> 01:30:58.239
and business managers agreement over these coopers that are on this page. The one that are the ones that are always already going forward, the boys and girls soccer, the boys and girls wrestling, and girls basketball. >> Correct. >> Okay.

327
01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:13.600
>> Just those five. >> All right. Any other questions on that? If >> not, I'd look for a motion to approve the 26 27th athletic co-op agreements as they sit right now. >> I'll make a motion. >> Jody on the motion.

328
01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:29.920
>> Second. >> Randy on the second. Any other discussion? I guess I'll just say thank you to Randall for being a valued partner with us to give these kids uh the opportunities. >> Yep. >> Uh all in favor say I.

329
01:31:29.920 --> 01:31:47.360
>> I oppose. Motion carries. Item number eight, uh consideration to approve the 2627 John Burch Park agreement with the city of Canon Falls. And if I remember correctly, if you want to add

330
01:31:47.360 --> 01:32:01.199
to this, Reed, that this is going to be an agreement that uh has been the same as the last couple years or correct, >> maybe even longer than that. >> Yeah, I'm not aware of any changes. Uh

331
01:32:01.199 --> 01:32:20.239
again, the 7500 annual fee. Uh uh at the end of the fall season, we'll get an email from the city asking how many nights we turn the lights on for games, and that gets charged $75, uh per night, and we get invoiced for that. And then it's just half the cost for any uh light

332
01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:42.000
repairs or bulb replacements. Those are the three big things. So, City of Can Falls has always been a good partner with us on uh on the use of John Bird Park. >> There's no questions. I'd look for a motion to approve. >> I'll make a motion.

333
01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:56.800
>> Jyn on the motion. >> Second. >> Luke on the second. Any other discussion? >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. This will be similar to the last one

334
01:32:56.800 --> 01:33:12.880
where there really hasn't uh been any changes in quite a long time. And that's item number nine, consideration to approve the 2627 tennis court agreement with the city of Canon Falls. My understanding no changes were made to this contract. Again, the city we would

335
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:29.760
charge the city a quarter of the actual cost of any field light and bone replacements. And then obviously with the work that's being done, they are a part of that as well. We have to build them back.

336
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:45.679
>> And how do we just curious, do you just let them know like, hey, we got to make these repairs. >> Yeah. Kind of same way with John Park. I I believe I've heard that there'll be some light bulb replacement >> this year. We'll have a bill coming at some point. They'll just build the back

337
01:33:45.679 --> 01:34:00.960
portion of that. it. >> So, if they replace something, do we just try to be like, >> "Well, we're going to replace these." >> Well, we should pay 75%. >> But, uh, you know, we have a, like I

338
01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:18.239
said, we have a great relationship, but you spend two months down there. So, >> um, it works well. >> Yeah. >> All right. Any other questions on that? Else, I'd look for a motion to approve. >> I'll make a motion. Do you have a motion? I'll second

339
01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:33.440
the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries. Number 10. Consideration to approve the 2627 Canon Valley Senior Center agreement.

340
01:34:33.440 --> 01:34:50.000
Is this uh identical as last year or was there any changes that >> I don't believe there were any changes at this time. I know that there has been. There's been discussion on a few different items, >> correct? >> That we need to take care of some things

341
01:34:50.000 --> 01:35:11.679
on our end before we can allow that. So, >> I just just for discussion, I was I went to the um community planning meeting with the city as a school representative and I was was approached by one of the members of the of the senior center

342
01:35:11.679 --> 01:35:27.360
about this and they were just a little bitter yet about their $1,000 a month fee that that we had to put in place. And I explained um to them that um you know we charge Yep. because they had free

343
01:35:27.360 --> 01:35:44.159
>> um we charge our youngest students and our our people to be in that building when they're using it and what's fair you know is it do they get it free or do we let the kids free and we try to see I just walk them through that process and where we were and where we are as far as

344
01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:58.800
rental agreements and whatnot and we've looked at them a lot with with Reed and whatnot and it w it just it smoothed it over a little bit. I think there's I think things are going well now, but um >> I believe we're when we did a mockup I

345
01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:14.480
think of what their what the their rental fee would be if we actually itemized all out. I think this is about 25%. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Something in that part. So, >> and I just explained to her to to pass along the word that they are important

346
01:36:14.480 --> 01:36:32.000
to us. We do care that they want them there. Um, it's just where things are and how rental agreements have to shake out. So, and it's unfortunate. If the referendum would have passed a year earlier, then we wouldn't be here probably even

347
01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:50.159
talking about this. But fortunately, that did not happen. So, all right. Any other questions on that or discussion? Also, I would look for a motion to approve the 2627 Canon Valley Senior Center agreement. >> We'll make a motion.

348
01:36:50.159 --> 01:37:06.159
>> Jen on the motion. >> I'll make a second. >> Jody on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos. Motion carries. Consideration to approve the resolution establishing dates for filing affidavit

349
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:26.480
of candid candidacy and notice of filing dates for the election of July 14th through the July 28th of 2026. >> Who wants to speak on that? >> I will. That's just the the time frame

350
01:37:26.480 --> 01:37:41.920
that you guys can all sign up, the three of you and any other candidates. Um, our office is generally open 7 to 3 is what we're going to post. Um, and a lot of times we're not here on Fridays. I'll

351
01:37:41.920 --> 01:37:58.400
have affidavits available. So, >> Lori, it says right here it's going to close at 5:00 on July 28th. >> Well, on that day it will cuz we have to by statute. And then you have two days technically to re withdraw, but you won't have to

352
01:37:58.400 --> 01:38:13.440
worry about any of those things. >> I might be that guy that comes at 459. >> Well, the 28th Tuesday, >> we'll be here. Remember your $2. >> Lori, can you remind us who what uh positions those are? Whose they are?

353
01:38:13.440 --> 01:38:31.199
>> Yes. Raise your hand. It's Clinton, Luke, and Jody. >> Remember your $2. $50 bill trying to save any money I can get it from the kids getting the fall

354
01:38:31.199 --> 01:38:46.560
ball shelled out for them. >> I should have been chasing for a ball >> and those are all fouryear positions this >> this go around it is all four-year positions. Yeah, three four years. So we'll be on the ballot um in the fall

355
01:38:46.560 --> 01:39:03.440
with the city. We're not doing this as a standalone. So, primary, you're not going to be on, but the primary will be August, oh gosh, I hate to say 11th, maybe. I don't know the date. It's in August. >> Um,

356
01:39:03.440 --> 01:39:21.199
so 11th is a Tuesday. So, >> so we need a motion and a second and then we need to read the resolution. >> Read the whereas and yeah. >> All right. >> I'll make a motion. >> Ronnie in the motion. >> Second. >> Luke in the second.

357
01:39:21.199 --> 01:39:37.600
Clerk, >> do you want the the therefore portion as well? Like the numbers one through four? >> Yes. Okay. All right. Whereas Minnesota statute section 205A.06 establishes the processes regarding affidavits of candidacy for election to

358
01:39:37.600 --> 01:39:53.199

364
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:43.679
>> I want my $2. >> All right, last item. Uh just a discussion item uh Y energy doll leaders. >> Yeah, we kind of put this on each year just to update the kind of process of this and to make sure that we're still all on the

365
01:41:43.679 --> 01:42:00.239
same page. Uh when we first got dollars, it's approximately $300,000 a year to the district. Um at the time when initially started, a little over half that payment, $158,000 to be exact, was used at the elementary for lease. uh

366
01:42:00.239 --> 01:42:16.560
obviously we own the roof, but that's the financing mechanism to uh the state to do it. Once that roof was paid off and due to kind of where we're at for dollars in facilities or capital projects, it was kind of agreed that that $158,000 was paid for facility use.

367
01:42:16.560 --> 01:42:37.440
Um so just kind of ongoing discussion each year with the board to make sure that's still the board's wishes. I think it's been working out great for many years. >> Yeah. Yeah. And I think until we probably get to that, you know, 22 2032 ballpark where uh some of the LCFM comes

368
01:42:37.440 --> 01:42:53.679
back to us, we have more facility dollars. Um then I mean those are free up to the general operating budget. Um but I think until we have more access to facility capital dollars, I think it's pretty wise to keep them there. >> And I think it's great that we're still getting them considering there was a

369
01:42:53.679 --> 01:43:15.199
time where we thought there was an expiring. Correct. >> Yeah. No, exactly what Josh said. When once um some of that money in uh >> 2032, >> yeah, 2032 comes along and then that's

370
01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:29.760
going to be a that'll be good year. So then we can possibly look at doing something differently there, but right now it uh seems to be working really good with what we're doing. So, all right. So, that was just a discussion item unless anyone else has

371
01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:46.159
any questions or wants to add to that. I know it doesn't seem like it's been a terribly long meeting, but or or it's not actually, but I mean, it it seems like it's been incredibly long. We're going to go very quickly. Reed, you got 10 or 15 seconds. You got anything to

372
01:43:46.159 --> 01:44:02.320
add? >> Big shout out and thank you to Tammy Beer for all the all the great things that she does for our programming in our district. and uh helping us or moving down there and putting our our offices together at 206 and getting summer care

373
01:44:02.320 --> 01:44:18.239
ready and training our staff and then flips over to a bound training video and starts talking about how we want to do registration and just, you know, there's some squirrel moments inside there that we joke about, but she's just she's just awesome with everything that she does

374
01:44:18.239 --> 01:44:34.480
for us. So, just wanted to recognize her and thank her for all she does. >> Absolutely. Thank you for seriously. No, it's >> Josh. >> Well, I think after three months in a row of budgets, I think I'm thankful to not be looking at budgets for a while. It

375
01:44:34.480 --> 01:44:51.920
>> be audit season, but that's fine. I uh I'll say I enjoy it, but it's good. It works out. Thank you for that. >> All right. I have stacks of new hires. So, it's been really fun meeting all these new people that are going to be coming in, going over our policies and

376
01:44:51.920 --> 01:45:07.119
handbooks and kind of thing. Um, >> that's terrible. >> Some people um of people who are retiring and and moving on and so transitioning them into that retirement phase. Um, so I get to

377
01:45:07.119 --> 01:45:22.800
visit with a lot of people every day. Um, shout out to food service. We have two interns from Mano State who were I have to be their preceptor for the year and I get to be I don't have to be. I get to be and they are running our

378
01:45:22.800 --> 01:45:39.520
summer food program this year. >> Cool. >> So, it is the greatest experience. One of the professors is going to come over in the next couple weeks. In fact, it's going to be a Tuesday. So, I bet it's next Tuesday >> as I'm just saying this. But >> nonetheless, she's going to come and watch and see what we're doing because

379
01:45:39.520 --> 01:45:58.880
this is super unique for their >> We have breakfast after. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> Dietitionian program for them to be able to have that type of an experience. So, they're welcome. >> Cool. Cool. >> Lily, anything you want to share?

380
01:45:58.880 --> 01:46:16.800
>> I'm just very happy it rained. I really needed this. So Pete, >> uh, no, I just echo the summer food program. Uh, it's my kids have gone a couple times just and they get to see their friends. It's a great program for the community. Uh, it's fun to see us be able to offer that. So many thanks for

381
01:46:16.800 --> 01:46:32.320
continuing to lobby for that. That's a huge advocacy. And then fun seeing all the projects going on. I know it's a lot of work for everyone here, but it's exciting and love seeing all the kids at the schools uh throughout the summer. Jo. >> Um, my kids are just really loving all

382
01:46:32.320 --> 01:46:48.480
the community ed stuff that they can sign up for and God knows they sign up for absolutely every single thing that they can. Um, >> think they can't sign up themselves. I >> Well, when they strong RV into it, you know, it uh, but there just there's so many options for them. Um, and for a community our size to have that many

383
01:46:48.480 --> 01:47:05.360
kind of endless options is super cool and impressive. So, something to be proud of. >> Perfect. Thank you. Uh, I'll say we haven't had a meeting since uh, graduation. Shout out to Steve and his crew uh, putting on a hell of a graduation ceremony. Beautiful. And, uh,

384
01:47:05.360 --> 01:47:21.840
great work. And then um, also recognizing him for all the different graphics we got going on here. That's a I know summer for the um, the maintenance program. That's not a time off. So >> So shout out to him and uh, his crew.

385
01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:37.520
So, nope. >> I would just say for those that that watch these videos, it's summer. Our kids are out and about. Just be careful as you're driving around. They're driving scooters like madman all over the place. And just keep an eye out for them. Um, uh, Sandlot baseball is on

386
01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:53.679
Fridays for all kids. I think that's really cool. They just show up and be kids. And also, a lot of those workers are baseball players and whatnot that they look up to. And I think that's a pretty cool thing that that we offer. Great, Cody. >> Um, I'm just loving the fact that even

387
01:47:53.679 --> 01:48:10.239
though baseball is technically done, the amount of baseball kids that and softball kids that show up at John Burch for the Bears games is amazing. >> Yeah. >> And you see them playing in the field or they're shagging balls or they're what trying to get close to the dugout to

388
01:48:10.239 --> 01:48:27.040
just listening and >> All righty. >> Um, I'll just echo what Reed said. We haven't met since spring sports wrapped up and we had a phenomenal spring sports season for all sports. So that was fun to be a part of. For sure. >> Yeah. Both team and individual.

389
01:48:27.040 --> 01:48:42.320
>> Yeah, for sure. >> Awesome. All right. Uh well, thank you everyone here. It looks like we got the next board meeting. Well, next uh we'll be here next Tuesday at 6:30 uh for a special meeting and then after that it'll be next regular meeting is on the

391
01:48:58.880 --> 01:49:15.159
morning. I don't think I'll do it tonight. I'll make a motion to adjurnn. >> Second the motion Luke on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> Oppose. Thank you.
