11
00:02:48.520 --> 00:03:04.200
present as the only one with comments, so. It's business. Yeah, that's right. >> Thank you. Um yeah, so we have both uh the minutes from May and June attached here. Um and then the July meeting because that got canceled. So we'll meet again

12
00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:20.200
in August and um our last meeting we talked a lot about the budget. Um because of funding challenges with Z they uh have been spending a lot of their

13
00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:35.959
general fund and they've been consolidating a lot of administration staff to try to save money and are really working with a skeletal crew over there to make things work. So um they are keeping a close eye on finances

14
00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:52.200
and doing the best they can um with what's going on currently. And then we talked a lot about the LTFM funds that they've developed. They came in the fall and talked a little bit about it. Patrick was able to the Um

15
00:03:52.200 --> 00:04:11.200
they spent a lot of time planning it and it is on later under new business and last time I mentioned it would be on the agenda, I didn't hear um from anyone, but I'm happy to answer any questions you guys have tonight, too. >> Okay, any questions or comments for Ms.

16
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:32.240
Ryan? >> Is there funding driven by enrollment as well? Like is that the >> Um a little bit. Some of their um like categories um already run at a deficit, but because of federal funding

17
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:47.840
cuts, they've been trying to keep them sustained with their general fund. >> You agree. >> So, they don't have a problem with enrollment. They They um they have all the students and they're growing, but um just because of funding

18
00:04:47.840 --> 00:05:11.360
changes. >> Anything else for Ms. Ryan? Okay, uh we'll move on to Superintendent East's communications. >> All right, the summer is the summer. It's a little slower, but still a lot of things going on. Um as of right now, kindergarten

19
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:27.919
enrollment's 137. That's great. That's good. That's where we want to be. We'll continue to hope we hit that 140 mark. Um under collaboration, I just put, you know, there's been a lot of summer curriculum and professional development going on. Shout out to our custodians. If you already look at the buildings,

20
00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:44.320
they already look amazing and that's harder to do than you think with kids in the weight room and the gyms and you know, we're still a very busy place and trying to get everything done. So, shout out to them. Um relationships, I spent a very hot week in and out of the fair. It was

21
00:05:44.320 --> 00:06:01.240
very, very warm. Um I don't know if anything makes me happier than when they come in and you can hear them out there talking to Carlin and saying, "Can I talk to Ms. Geese? I have something for her." and your heart just and they just want they want you to see them show their lion. And I just yeah, I can't even if it's

22
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:17.960
100° and you're dripping wet, you have to go. So, it's been really fun. Um under our next core value, I talked a little bit about our permanent school fund. I'm realizing now I didn't get this linked. I will get that in there so you guys have that. Um the permanent school fund, just watch your MSBA

23
00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:34.560
material on that. It will be on the November vote. It doesn't change anything. It's just the profits from lumber sales and these things. Um the state has decided that they will make an amendment to the constitution of Minnesota and have that go to schools.

24
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:51.160
It is not a saving grace. There isn't a ton of money there. It doesn't do a whole lot, but it might as well be going to schools. And I I think it's a good effort on their part and we'll be you'll be hearing more and more of that, but watch your MSBA notes on that. Um and then just under inclusion, just

25
00:06:51.160 --> 00:07:07.360
making sure that everyone knows fall athletics, we're ready to rock and roll. We're already starting to get all our coaching done, registrations out there. Um if you hear of any kids, even if it's a neighbor kid or anything that says, "Well, I really want to try XYZ, but I

26
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:23.040
can't afford it." please make sure they know that there are scholarships available. Anyone We want everyone in an activity. So, please spread that word that we No one stays home because they can't afford to go for something. We will make that happen.

27
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:39.280
That's all I have for tonight. It's busy. August gets really crazy, but we're enjoying kind of a little quieter office time in July and some nice work time for sure. So. Yeah, that's all I've got. >> All right. Any questions for Ms. Geese?

28
00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:58.880
Okay, hearing none. I'll next uh 2.4 is personnel informational items only. Take a look at those. Any questions or comments on those? Great. Uh onto the consent agenda. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda as written?

29
00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:15.800
>> So moved. >> Hearing that, do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Thank you, Mr. Mesa. We have a a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda as written. All those in Actually, is there any discussion on that? >> I have a question. I just noticed that

30
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:33.200
the support staff are changing to Janitor Community Ed. Is that just a title change? >> Nope, we've always had two different contracts for our paras. That's always as long as I know. Maybe Bob knows. >> This is the second contract that we've split into two.

31
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:48.880
>> Oh, okay. Okay cool. Good question, though. >> They're very, very similar. >> Yeah. >> Um but because the days can be different and they come out of different funds, um it's actually quite smart to do it the way you do it here. It just keeps things a little clearer.

32
00:08:48.880 --> 00:09:10.120
>> That makes sense. >> Okay, anything else? Before we vote? All right, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Onto discussion items. Consider a consideration of Minnesota Department of Public Safety Statewide Anonymous Crime

33
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:25.480
Reporting Uh Miss Eells, can you tell us a little bit about that? >> Sure. Um so you've probably been seeing some of this in your notifications. Um we will have to if you look at it, there's basically two choices. You can either fix You can do something on your own, or

34
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:41.200
you can do the state system. Our recommendation, because some of this is new and it's the law and we need to report it, is to go with the state system. Um I personally have not heard of any schools that are doing something on their own. I don't know if Bob or Curtin if you heard anything different.

35
00:09:41.200 --> 00:10:00.720
Um it's not like you have to make a huge decision right now, but we do need to get this up and going. It's due by June of 2027. If I'm right on this, um is that right? Yeah. So, it's just something I want you to be kind of aware of when you go to breakout sessions, if

36
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:16.440
you hear something, bring you know, bring that information back and maybe there is a good reason to go on something on your own. I'm not sure. Everything I'm hearing is just going with the state system. Makes it really you're in compliance, it's on your webpage. People can report anonymously

37
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:33.040
through that system. And it tracks it so that we don't have to bring the information to the state is the way I'm understanding it. So, we've got a year to get it all kind of figured out, but I want you to be aware of all of this. I don't think we're taking any action tonight, but it's something that

38
00:10:33.040 --> 00:10:48.800
you need to consider and start thinking about. >> Is this is something we just want to do the policy committee? >> Yep. That's where I planned on putting it. It makes the most sense to do it there. They'll bring back a recommendation, I'm sure. >> Any

39
00:10:48.800 --> 00:11:04.720
any questions? Any costs associated with it? >> Um yeah, that I haven't heard a dollar amount of any kind. Um it will be one of those things that cost something though. Another We have what I consider a good system. People can report things, but

40
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:28.839
this is the law and we need to make sure we do it correctly. >> Are there any anything else? Okay, actually and we have no we have no other as far as business we have no business. Uh new business, approve the 26th to 28th km asphalt contract. Did everybody get a

41
00:11:28.839 --> 00:11:45.320
chance to look that over? I don't think it's changed for a couple of years anyway. Four years probably. >> A little bit of a cost increase, but we're sharing the same amount of time with Zed and that with Chief last week. We went through everything. We're real happy to be able to share with Zed. That's worked out really well to do the

42
00:11:45.320 --> 00:12:03.160
80/20. We're We're very pleased with the the contract and services. >> Right. Do I have a motion to approve that contract? >> So moved. >> Thank you, Ms. Ryan. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Thank you, Ms. Armstrong.

43
00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:22.440
Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye. All those same sign. Motion carries. 6.2.2 approve limited contract with waiver of continuing contract rights for the 2026-2027 school year.

44
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:38.760
Ms. Keith, can you say can you talk a little bit about that, please? >> Um so this gets complicated. So, we We had a internal long-term sub and Bob, you're going to stop me when I'm wrong in this. Um the internal sub. Um we then

45
00:12:38.760 --> 00:12:54.640
decided to not continue that position. We didn't have a need and we kind of made that a general rule that until the need is there, we're not going to hire these folks. Um so you went ahead and discontinued this contract. I am now bringing it back

46
00:12:54.640 --> 00:13:10.760
because we already have three people that are taking long-term leaves. So, we need this person um back. It is a little bit of a unique contract. It doesn't It isn't the teacher's contract. Um there's a little bit less benefits there, a little bit different pay schedule. Um

47
00:13:10.760 --> 00:13:25.839
it's basically an internal subbing position. Um so, I apologize for the back and forth, but I really don't think we should keep any position thinking, well, maybe they're coming. Um kind of like the kindergarten. If they continue to grow, we can always

48
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:41.680
hire a teacher, but you can't always reduce. And so, until we see that we need it, I think this is the way. So, luckily, um the person had not accepted any other jobs, and she's willing to come back into her current position. So we

49
00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:58.920
It's working out really well. >> Great. Do I have a motion to approve that? >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. Ryan. Do I have a second? >> I second. >> Thank you, Mr. Hyde. Any further discussion on that? Hearing none, all those in favor say "Aye." >> Aye.

50
00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:17.880
>> All those same sign. Motion carries. Uh on to 6.2.3, adopt resolution relating to the election of school members and calling of school district calling the school district general election. Something we do every couple of years,

51
00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:35.040
so pretty standard. Do I have a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. Ryan. Do I have a second? >> I second. >> Thank you, Mr. Mesa. Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say "Aye." >> Aye. >> All those same sign. Motion carries.

52
00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:51.680
Okay, on to 6.2.4, approve CAM fiscal year 28 LT LT FM revenues. Um Mr. Hyde, tell us a little bit about that. >> Sure. So, this program basically is used

53
00:14:51.680 --> 00:15:06.839
to for us to help maintain our facilities. So, that's You can't use the money to build new. It's just to maintain what you have. What you have. Revenues generated based off of the number of students that you have, and

54
00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:23.320
then also the aging of the facilities. So, as the buildings continue to age, we'll continue to get It's roughly $25,000 more in revenue based off of the age of the building. But, if our enrollment continues to

55
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:44.840
decline and we'll be generating fewer dollars that way as well. So And basically um the revenue again is basically just basically um covered by the number of kids at the building age enrollment.

56
00:15:45.480 --> 00:16:01.200
>> And isn't this something the state the legislature they changed what we could use things for a couple years ago? Cuz there's a lot of restrictions on what we can do with the funds. So didn't they loosen them up or something if I remember right? >> Um I don't guess I don't remember.

57
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:19.080
>> might be right. The roofs and things like that. Some of those changes did come in which saved a lot of school districts that you could fix a parking lot but not fix the roof. Things like that. But you are correct and it's very limited what you can use these funds for. >> All right. Do I have a motion to approve

58
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:35.280
that? >> So moved. >> Thank you Mr. Hyde. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you Mr. Ryan. Uh any questions for Mr. Hyde and not me. All right. Hearing none. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed same sign. Motion

59
00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:52.160
carries. On to 6.2.5 approve the 2028 um healthy about expenditure plan. Mr. Hyde can you talk to that? >> Yeah. So

60
00:16:52.160 --> 00:17:09.120
this part of the LCFF process is basically project based. Um we sit down with JJ um and he kind of sits down with the principals his building custodians to try to figure out what kind of projects

61
00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:24.920
need to be done um that fall under these different categories that you see listed there. Um a lot of it uh the first part of the form is the old health and safety program like the fire safety and we had asbestos in the

62
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:43.440
building. I utilize the the dollars to abate the the asbestos. We use the dollars for monitoring our fire alarms. And then in the lower part of the form

63
00:17:43.440 --> 00:18:00.680
it's basically just kind of the building maintenance. One of the bigger projects that we had done this year was all of the buildings needed to be recaulked. And so we hired somebody to come along and work off the old and replace the caulk

64
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:17.440
and make all the different joints of the buildings and work out the all the joints in the buildings. The other big project this year is the roof project over at the community center and the elementary school. I don't know if anybody has any specific

65
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:38.160
questions regarding any of the dollar amounts you're seeing. >> We had talked about this previously but it looks like in 2028 it goes into a deficit. Is that right? >> No. >> Yeah. >> this program as long as you have a way

66
00:18:38.160 --> 00:19:00.120
of getting yourself out eventually the the state will approve their short-term deficit. >> What was the big expense? Could we talk about something that is why it threw it into that? >> 2028? >> Yeah. Why it dropped to that in 2028?

67
00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:21.800
>> Um It looks like there's some mechanical projects that we have slated to be done knowing full well that we probably won't be able to do all of the things that we have kind of listed out. >> Oh, got you. Yeah.

68
00:19:22.320 --> 00:19:38.280
>> Was it Was it the boiler just stuff? >> Yeah, there's a >> There's boilers and then there's some air handling units as well. >> Yeah, okay. I remember the discussion vaguely, but I There's so many numbers sometimes that I'm like, "Where is it?" >> Just on a piece of that, JJ and I have

69
00:19:38.280 --> 00:19:53.840
met. Um, we are going to be doing a kind of an audit of the entire facility. Um, outside it doesn't cost us a thing. Um, of course they want you to do work with them afterwards, but um, we're going to look at that to see if it matches up with what we're thinking is

70
00:19:53.840 --> 00:20:10.080
needed to. These outside audits are super helpful. I've done that in every district I've been in. Um, JJ's on board. So, we're getting that started. We're doing that process. >> Thank you. Is that within the high school? >> It's all of the buildings. They will look at absolutely everything.

71
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:25.360
Obviously, the new newest things they won't, um, but they do an audit all the way up water, you know, your electrical, your plumbing, um, lighting is a big one. Um, a lot of our lighting is new, but looking at LED and yeah, they do a It's a great We have

72
00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:41.520
some of our steam heat that's coming out of the high school. Looking at how well is that actually working? We know that's $5 million project if that ever goes down. Yeah, we're just looking at all these things. So, it actually is district-wide.

73
00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:59.160
And your facility, I can't remember who's on that committee, but you'll see all those results and then we'll bring that back to the full board, too. >> Thank you. >> Of course. >> On your previous uh, um, experience with this, how does it line up with your with your your own internal

74
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:14.280
estimate on on the cost? Does it usually come back higher? >> It's you JJ's usually pretty close. Um, you know, it's it comes back sometimes higher, but they they benefit if it's lower because then they can go out and get clothes and things like that. But this

75
00:21:14.280 --> 00:21:31.440
is just an audit to see where we're at, but yeah, and so just throwing out numbers what we think it would cost we would have that. Always a good idea to have an audit especially like every 10 years you should probably go through it. It's a lot of work for that crew because they have to walk around with them even

76
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:47.240
if it's opening doors and opening cabinets to absolutely everything. Um it's one of the boilers at the middle school. I would just like something with that expertise to really look them over. Just makes me feel better saying are they two years away from dying or 10? You know, shouldn't be me telling you

77
00:21:47.240 --> 00:22:09.160
that. >> Great. I believe we have a motion to discuss it. >> Not yet. >> Okay. I'll make a motion to approve that. >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. Ryan. >> I'll second. >> I'll second. Thank you, Mr. Reardon. Any further discussion on that?

78
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:26.760
Hearing none, all in favor state I. >> I. >> Those opposed same sign. Motion carries. Now we're on to 6.2.6, adopt resolution approving school district number 6012 the long-term facility maintenance 10-year plan.

79
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:43.760
And I'm just going to ask for a motion to approve that. >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. Ryan. I'll second. >> I'll second. >> Thank you, Mr. Armstrong. Any discussion? Please forward all your questions to Mr. Ryan. >> Happy to take them. It's super easy to

80
00:22:43.760 --> 00:22:58.760
go after our LTFM. Thanks Patrick coming in and explaining it. You've sat in the meetings. He brought it all to the superintendents. We approved it as well. We think it's really thought out quite well. >> And it's yes, it's really just proactive

81
00:22:58.760 --> 00:23:15.520
financially. You can see on that first bullet point the percentages that were agreed upon when Z was kind of put together. If they didn't have this or start this and it is a very conservative amount, it's just over 36,000 a year.

82
00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:31.120
Any major expense they have, we would have that percentage of cost on our general fund. So, it makes a lot more sense to be proactive and be building this up. There are newer buildings we don't anticipate anything huge, but that's why we amount so small too. They

83
00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:58.480
wanted to be responsible. >> All right. We have a motion second. Any other discussion on that? I hear none. All those in favor say I. All those in favor say I. Motion carries. At this time we're going to enter into a closed session

84
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:36.360
conducting a superintendent summary. Performance evaluation pursuant to Minnesota statute 13D.05 subsection 2A. Just have our guests please exit the meeting room. It's pretty much the end of our meeting

85
00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:52.080
