Oh. Oh. >> All right. 6 o'clock. I'm going to call the meeting to order. All board members are accounted for. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Jeff, do you have anything to add to this very long agenda that we have today? >> I do not. Make sure we don't extend it. >> All right. I will look for a motion to approve the agenda. >> I'll approve.
>> I'll second. >> On the motion, Joe on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries. Uh, we have no scheduled presenters tonight. That moves into public input. Anyone here like to speak
to the board. I will close public input. Consideration to approve the finance report. Josh. >> Yeah. Uh, so not a whole lot of exciting information here. Uh, and we originally had planned on hopefully having the
audit for fiscal 25 to present tonight and there's a couple things that are holding that up. Um but it will be at the December meeting. Um just in general our going pretty well uh and we did uh a pretty good job in fiscal 25 of managing
finances. So I think that uh it should be in all um for most funds pretty positive report when we get to that portion in December. Um what you see here is our normal cash flow worksheet for the finance report. Not a whole lot of outstanding items. You'll see in the December 1st uh the cleanup of the
Dakota County and Dakota County taxes. That's the uh final wrap-up of property taxes for the calendar year. And a little further down at the bottom is the debt service payment. Uh debt service, all but one debt service is set to pay that end of January, beginning of
February for principal interest and then August payment is an interestonly payment. And that's where you see the cash really uh kind of take a hit in the district. Um as our cash was presented as all the funds. So that includes not only general fund but debt service, food service, community uh building
construction. Uh kind of one last thing I guess to kind of note in there be about a third way down in that mid December area uh roof section replacement. Um that is just now the retainage left on uh that project as we've completed about 95% of it. It's
just a matter of the final walkthrough and sign off. And that won't happen until they're all complete with the work and then both Garland the the kind of the product itself as well as Steven sign off and say it's okay to release that last payment. >> Any questions I can answer? >> So do you think that roof has pretty
close? >> Oh, it's contracted right here too. >> Y uh what's going to be good for the district? Uh given how kind of the task force situation went, we'll probably looking at maybe doing an improvement on that. Um but I think there may be some
additional funds may potentially be able to get a little bit more done when we do that project uh which could potentially look like the standards um since they were original with that uh tennis court. Um but with the way the project came in and how long we've had that out, there
are some potential to have some additional funds to put towards that tennis court. Now, the flip side of that is we're a year passed uh and the quote for the task could change too, but um that's the the hope and and the idea for that task force >> for sure.
>> Any other questions for Josh? If not, I'd look for a motion to approve the finance report. >> I'll make a motion. >> Pete on the motion. >> I'll second on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I >> oppose.
Motion carries. Consent agenda. Items under the consent agenda are considered routine and will be enacted under one motion. In the event the board member wants to discuss any item, it will be removed removed from the consent agenda for separate action.
Uh Jeff, would you like to read the resolution for acceptance of gifts, please? >> Yes. This month we had a 40ft aluminum bench for facilities. uh wherever it's going to be needed for around the property from Ron and Marshia Freeberg. $50 in school supplies from Dudley
Floine for elementary school supplies. $150 from Gemini for Turkey Bingo Wellness Committee. Uh $80 from Dudley's Pizza for the elementary pizza with the principal. Uh tree donation from Canon Tree Farm donating labor and a maple
tree. uh $300 from Anonymous for the kindergarten team and $5,000 from Limestone Fire and Security for a scholarship. So, we thank our generous contributors for this month. >> Thank you.
>> Thank you. >> All right. I'll look for a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll make a motion. >> Jody on the motion. >> Second. >> Luke on the second. Any other discussion? >> All in favor say I. >> I. oppose.
Motion carries. Uh we have no student report here tonight. So we're going to move on to uh one of our two big hit action items. Uh number one, consideration to approve the certificate regarding the contest of
special election. So this uh contest of special election basically is what it says basically saying that nobody has uh challenged or notice of contest of the special election to be quite specific from November 4th and just verifying
that nobody has contested the the election and obviously nobody has and so I'm recommending approval of this and we'll have the district uh clerk sign at the end of >> All right, I'll look for a motion to
approve. >> I'll make a motion. I'll second motion. Join on a second. >> Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I oppose. Motion carries.
Consideration to approve the updated uh 2526 winter coaching list. Reed, got a couple more volunteers. Uh just a couple more wrestling partners. They're in the red. They aren't coaches. They're just uh partners to wrestle with. The kids uh
they uh not only are board approval, but they're going through background check. And then um Lanny is going to be a little bit more of a potential coach with one I play instead of just in the tech booth. So want to get him in. Okay.
>> Any other questions on that? Also look for a motion to approve. Make a motion. >> Joel Lynn on the motion. >> I'll second. >> Pete on the second. Any other discussion? >> All in favor say I. >> Oppose.
>> Motion carries. Well, we're at seven minutes right now. Uh, >> too many. >> I know we didn't have admin reports. I don't know if we want to go around the horn. Anyone have anything on want to add, Mr. Strauss, about anything?
PTO fundraiser was successful. You know, we're looking forward to, you know, getting >> Kathy and I are trying to figure that out today when that's going to work out. The kids keep reminding us. >> They won't forget. >> I keep asking them if somebody's going
to let me down and they all say no. Uh that'll be something. Um >> yeah, we went above and beyond in that number. >> There is. Yeah. >> Yeah. Do you have a final number? It'll be roughly 31,000 something is my guess. >> That's awesome. That's awesome. Super awesome. >> Um,
otherwise can't think of anything else. You got any questions? >> Okay. No, >> Mr. Hodgees, anything? >> Uh, super thankful to the community for their vote. Um, you know, good time to be thankful to people and thank you to
the community for supporting schools. >> Mr. Johnson. Anything with facilities that we're hopping about? >> We uh planted some of those trees that we cut down. >> Uh so we replaced all those ash with a bunch of maples. I think we had four different varieties in maples. Some
siennas, some auto blaze. Um so those will be bright red next fall. So a little school spirit with the trees outside even. There we go. So maybe we can get some more inside with it. Um we had good participation down at the elementary school with that. The little kids loved it. Mhm.
>> Uh so that was fun for me to have them come out and help plant the trees and learn a little bit about them um in the meantime and telling them not to jump on them and break branches off, you know, facility stuff, too. In the meantime, uh like Josh said, the roof's almost done.
They got a little bit of their metal work that they're doing up there yet left. Um should be wrapped up tomorrow, I would think. Um looks good up there. Um, it should have no leaks anymore in my lifetime at least. Um,
uh, yeah, that's about all I got. >> Say, are you ready for snow and ice? >> We are ready for I don't want to say, but we are ready for >> the roof is >> got a little bit. Yeah, the the roof's ready. Yeah, we're ready, too. Yeah, we got salt by all the doors. Shovels are out
>> that time of season. So, never know when it's going to happen. And, >> you know, I'm praying for this weather continuing for a little bit longer. Mhm. >> So, yep. Well, that's all I got. >> Agreed. Anything winter sports? >> Um, well, before I would go there, uh, we'll have a special community advisory
council meeting December 9th. Uh, and they will review the community assessment survey, and you guys will get a recommendation from that group for the December 15th meeting to to finalize that and approve that. Um, so, uh, Jeff
and I have been able to take a look at that. We made a couple revisions here. Um and and Tammy and Katie got their eyes on it here once and and we're going to take another look and we've got a follow-up meeting with school perceptions when we come back from
Thanksgiving break. But um it's down to a really good number of questions and we're getting quite a bit of detail involved in that. So right now we just want to clean up some language and wording to make sure it's it's what we need it to be. Um, other than that, yeah, it's it's go time for winter
sports here coming uh uh starting Saturday, I want to say, right? >> Have a crescent. >> Yeah. So, >> did I see the Randolph co-op is in the Crescent the same day? >> Yeah, that's cool. >> Awesome. >> All right.
>> Josh, anything you special you want to do? >> Bombers. All right. It's >> that time of year. It's It's fun. It's busy. It's kind of wrapping up from one audit election threat into a new part of it. So, um but
no, we've got to talk about the basketball side or weekend. Um we still have work to do, but that's should be that way in the end of the year, but excited for Saturday. >> Yeah. Awesome. >> Jeff, anything else you want to add? >> Nope. Just I think Josh mentioned that
we that we will have the audit uh presentation next month along with the truth and taxation. thought it was supposed to be tonight, but there were some uh challenges. >> Yep. >> One with the presenter. So, um
yeah, pretty quiet, which is good. >> Finally. Okay. >> So, any board members have anything to add? >> Nope. >> Nope. Nope. >> All right. I tried my best. That was another five minutes. Okay. Uh well,
with that being said, uh next, well, first off, next uh board meeting December 15th, right back here in the boardroom at uh 6:00. So, I would look for a motion to adjurnn. >> I'll make a motion. >> Randy, do you have a motion? >> Second
loop with the multiple. >> Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I oppose. Motion carry. Thank you.
