to just get an idea of where every district is at and how they plan on spending their ltfm funds and so on this uh spreadsheet if you look down at line 60 KY that just shows for the next 10 years
our estimated uh revenue for ltfn and then the next thing is the expenditures and I was very fortunate to have Andy from site logic and Ellers look over all of this information to
make sure it was as accurate as we could get it this shows some of the all the expenses that we anticipate spending over the next 10 years and working with site logic to go over our 10year plan and um down in
category two is where we put in our anticipated expenditures for our IQ program and then if you scroll down a little bit more in category five is just our everyday issues that we have in expenditures that we plan on spending
over the next 10 years and again this will be brought back to you next year to approve again on the first um slide presentation Rue I assume he increases the IQ
project thank and this is um the plan that we have to submit is that correct on annual and I was saying that theity this has been previously discussed at ums and previous board meetings um so
what you're looking for is discussion action so you're asking for approval of this plan that we're going to do submitting okay does anybody have any further questions after looking over it over the weekend as well okay hearing none then I would take a motion in a second for the of your

on file along with our ltfm project or plan along with some other documents and as the board knows we've had several discussions we've had several meetings um regarding our indoor air quality um projects that are are

yes we have a budget and enrollment report I thinking not so much enrollment at this time um not going to go through and read line by line but just to a brief overview currently we are our annual budget for expenditures in the general
fund was set at 25.8 million where we spent 25.4 million roughly um food service is still doing they have been coming in under budget same with uh community ed
services and so at the end of the year currently we our budget's 30, 440,000 4445 9 and so far we have spent 30,39 120 leaving us with
$26,670 um as of June 30th however there's still a lot of things in the background that need to get taken care of over the summer before our audit and then when the audits finalized we'll have um
numbers very accurate numbers for you Revenue overall we've um budgeted 29 m964 th000 in revenue and currently we received 2,139 66 I will say that at the time that we
had to print this board report we were not done with all of our revenues and expenditures for June there's still revenues that haven't been recorded in our system yet so this is not exactly where we are at right now until those
get in there then that give us a better idea but at this point we didn't have enough time to get all of our things done before the board meetings last year at this time we our expenditures were 27,2
4,445 and we had spent 28,6 2,326 putting us at 1, [Music] 57788 over budget our revenues were 27,2 46,7
2 and at this time last year we had received [Music] 2,959 and again this was June of this was 202312 meaning it was the June month but there was still there
weren't all of the corrections and stuff that needed to be made were not included in that number either thank you does anyone have any questions for Aon coning the budget report just an observation I mean obviously we're in a long process on
budget but it looks like we're headed in a better Direction than we were 12 months ago so I want to say thank you for the efforts that have been made for that anyone else have any comments or questions all right and then we will move on to policies report requiring
review and this is the third and final reading for the following two policies policy 532 use of police officers and crisis teams to remove students withs from school GRS policy 611 home school and as I said this is um our

Kim and Donnie I remember we H Kim around a long time and I always come on a real Rock and Don of course long bus drivers and has given us some some good times also I was able last Wednesday
Thursday and Friday to attend the MSC which is the Minnesota service cooperatives annual conference we have it this year at the end of Lake Superior in G that's a beautiful place if you ever been up there by the lift bridge and so forth and beautiful place to have
a conference in fact I always say that this is the best place to have it and have again there next year so at least they're doing that uh I felt bad because we moved to the fall for a couple of years and so I missed two years of it and I really missed it because it's a
great conference to go to it involves all the board members from all the nine service cooperatives in the state of Minnesota and a lot of these people have been on the board as long I have respected boards so you come back and you see old faces and it's just really
uh a warming thing to be able to do so I was really glad to to be able to get back after these two years about moving it back to the fall again but at least we're doing it for two years and uh it works out well for me so we had a lot of meetings of one first of all I'm on the
Cooperative purchasing committee so we had that meeting early on the on Thursday and uh we're doing very well on that we are getting vendors so we can sell to schools for a cheaper price and you can go someplace where you know exactly what the cost is going to be and
that's going very very well so I put that be then uh I had incident that happened to me a few years ago I was down I was on a bus tour and I was taking some people down to uh Florida and I and we were in Fort Myers and I
said well let's go over to spring training they started a couple days so we went down there and I'm walking around and not a part of or anything this guy comes walking along I go over to him I said you you look familiar he
says I'm Joe Schmid from KDP you know Joe schmi and he was in a hurry so I thought well I just Poli he stopped and talked to me for quite a while and then the other passengers saw this so they started coming over he started signing autographs and so forth and I thought
afterwards know what a nice thing for this guy to do so many times anybody it's important we just rush on by I have time to talk but he spend some time talking to people he had no idea who they were well guess who our guest speaker was I saw that he was going to
be our guest speaker the conference so I went over to him before he started talking to says Joe you don't remember me I know this I got to tell you this this is what you did for me and I would respect you for this I said I actually you're one of my I'm a big fan of yours
now and actually grabbed by the shoulders so You' made an impact on me and surprisingly enough you know what the side topic was about impact okay this he wrote a book called the impact blueprint a stepbystep journey a life of
significance so he was following his own rules by stopping and talking to us and it was it was amazing so I talked to him at a time and uh I didn't know what kind of speaker it'd be he's one of the best speakers I've ever heard he's a very good friend of Joe MERS he's going out
Cooper town when Joe Mar is getting into the Hall of Fame you know he didn't talk about sports stuff he talked about character and dealing with people now Joe ma if you don't know the story um when he was a senior in high school it's hard story to tell because there was a
blind kid that was sitting all alone in the lunchroom and he invited that kid to to have that table with every day this is a cool table and then he walked that kid to his classroom that first hour class every day for the whole year and then the other kids saw this and then
when they saw the kid in the hall they walk him to a classroom they know so this is this kid blind kids was sitting alone in the lunchroom you know everybody talks about my great cry J power uh he really pointed that out so uh
really really impactful so I heard that and it was great and then as he was talking uh he asked people if they had something to say raise their hand so I raised my hand I was a second when he came through and I told that story he had me the mic and I said the story
about how you impressed me because you took time to talk to somebody didn't know so he handed me his book book in his hand everybody else had to buy the book they had a book out in the hall people just lined up and so I got an autographed uh and I I've read
about half of it already it's fantastic book it's got 52 ways to impact yourself and people that's really good so that was that was a highlight uh afterwards we had a legislative update always interesting a lot of you remember Sam w
m they had a Sixers panel from the league of Minnesota cities uh two Sam W and Roger Mo who was long time state senator and then U msba president uh Kurt schneideran and
uh president of the superent association de Hinton and president of the M Darren St so they're all there that was P that was you know Allstar panel they're going to tell us my legislative update and I was amazed that and I'm sure I wasn't
the only one there but I knew I basis with five and six I didn't know the on for the cities and I could actually say two of them were friends of mine Darren is a friend of mine and uh so I really was just felt so good to have these people there and they gave us some great
information of what's going on and some of it's good and some of it's not so good I will say Darren I talked to Darren afterwards he presented himself really well about for for a person new coming into the M uh he came across very well they all did a great job but uh
that was interesting to hear uh we also had a woman came in I didn't like her really very good she she gave me a book also well we all got a book everybody got a book The say it's called the say yes experience but she didn't sell me very
well so if anybody wants the book but she asked the question have you ever said no when you should have said yes and then have you ever said yes you should have no she had to see the panel so that was that was kind of neat anyway
next day we had a MSC board of directors meeting on my own board of directors and Bally the same people all the time so that was great and then we had a guy that talked about leading through chaos which is what we're in all the time you know especially in schools and he was he
was he was a a former Marine he talked about how Marine training really changed his life because of what that to go through you know discipline and all that and then afterwards got out of Marines he married the love of his life okay
found out right away shortly the marriage she had cancer and they fled to cancer then they found out she had a uh Li Noma and they fought that and then she died but they resuscitated said she could never have
kids so you do that way he showed us a picture at the end of all this there he was with his wife in four years great story great story he was very good but then we had the state demographer come in that was very interesting and one
thing I found out is that and I didn't know that she told us that the state service cooperatives including resource were asked by the democra make sure we get all the correct voting in in all our areas and she said you guys made a
difference and I didn't know what the difference was but we made by 29 people not having to lose the representative in Congress it was that close Bon County did no this is for the whole this is for the whole Minnesota we
we have eight representatives in Congress we were going to lose one but by 29 votes we didn't lose it so we got till 2030 we'll probably lose in 2030 but that was she was very Ang now she showed us a lot of maps of what's go
what's going on and uh it's very interesting I kept looking at vet County because she talked about growth areas and growth areas that weren't going to grow and areas that were going to lose uh unfortunately we were out the area going to lose in the area was going to
gr was going to be a fairly shouldn't say stag It'll Be steady but it's not you know we're in that place right now and uh she did say this is her prediction I took a picture of it this is what's going to this is her uh
Minnesota's Democratic future looks like okay Minnesota will grow more more slowly than it has in the past some counties will continue to decline in size population urban areas throughout the state are projected to grow the fastest
I we all know that that's statistic finding workers will continue to be a challenge for everyone especially in rural Minnesota where the population is older and the working age population makes up a smaller share of the
total the importance of international immigration is growing as our state's growth grows slows as it slows so we actually need immigration she said and the state will continue to become more racially and ethnically diverse that
some areas will remain homogenous which means white for a very long time so those were F so there a very interesting conference one other thing I want to say as I you weren't at the last meeting had
CH I I was very excited about doing the speech of graduation and that's why I asked to be able to do I know I'm on my way out and uh it isn't an easy thing for me to do I'm not I'm not a good speaker I know that and uh so I spend
hours and hours every time I do something and a lot of rehearsal and so forth but I felt very good when that speech was done I got all done and I you know so you can kind of tell if it's going or if it's not going but I will say the response I got walking through
the Halls going out was better than I've ever gotten before people I didn't know stop me uh people I didn't know stop me former students came up to me and I even my my physical therapist the next day I was there I even got an email from the
cities from a friend who heard from their sister what I had done so I felt very than for do that's all Stephanie um I just want to say Ken that you did a great job on your St at
graduation um with everything that you share just shared with us um I think it's important for us to remember the impact you know you having Joe and saying you made an impact I mean in a world where we're we are so divided in
so many ways I mean it seems as if we're just constantly in this like struggle that I think it's important for all of us to remember that we truly can make an impact and that it can just be a few words it can be a few minutes it can just be a connection that we just need
to continue to embrace that piece of it because I tell you what it's it's rough out there and it's it's important to focus on that so thank you so much for sharing that sh um I want to thank those everyday people who come back to us
after retirement and continue to work for us they know the job and save us considerable dollars um special thanks to Jeff Anderson in our custodial department and Donnie beer in our
transportation department um Donnie worked for us more than half a century um he was my bus driver um Good Luck um to these people also congratulations to Kim udman on her

but we still have time to do my favorite thing celebrate some thank you um all right and then I just want to make a couple remarks um just to watch your emails please for upcoming work sessions we have a couple in the works
here so just be mindful and I understand people summertime schedules are busy but we have important work to do as a board as well um and then I just want to make mention of the firm that is resurfacing the tennis courts because we have had a
record Heat come through and they are out there morning midnight and um they are very hard working and living right there I can hear them working I can see them working they're they're they're at
for hours ands hours on in and especially when my 5-year-old grandson looks up and says Grandma those guys have been working at Fe all day so give them a lot of credit I understand as their job but people that work out in
the deat and I just appreciate the work they're doing for us out there um I am going to just pass out um one policy here I have three here for the three of you and then um Kelly over there for
Trish and the others and I'm just doing this um as a board comment and um this is um policy 209 which you're all aware that we have it's our code of ethics as a
board um I've followed up with msba recently on on this one and again I'm just doing this as a board member comment as um um board chair I feel like I have an obligation to try to lead the board I feel like I would be remiss in my
duties um we briefly covered this code of ethics in a work session I believe winter very early spring um but I think it's time for a review on just a couple of items um I kind of we kind of left this on the honor System but in light of um how some events have taken shape
lately I'm just asking for a review again everybody's an adult everybody knows how to read um I'm actually asking for a review after um as a followup to an email that we received from another board member after last meeting um just to call attention under
general statement of policy number six um recognize the Integrity of the predecessors and Associates and appreciate their work so my question to msba if they could clarify that their clarification um said it definitely includes committee work this does not
mean that people cannot ask questions um this particular part of the policy is to state that you appreciate respect and Trust others work um and then I asked for um a little bit more clarification on number eight under that same general statement of
policy and um they also said um should be adding um which includes msba trainings because they do highly recommend that board members take the msba trainings and just because you took it once doesn't mean you can't learn
something something again um and then under e and working with the superintendent of schools and staff um in particular number nine um those that one is also covered in our board
Norms so I'm just drawing this policy to people's attention um one more time I just felt that I would be remiss in not talking about our quot of ethics and that's all I have to offer this even so I would take a motion and a
second for an adour second motion by Ken second by Sharon all those in favor signify by saying I opposed our motion our excuse me our
meeting is adjourned at
