11
00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:51.360
Everything's there along with the additional acres. >> Motion by Danny. Is there a second? I'll second. >> Second by Shannon. Questions or discussions. All in favor signal by saying

12
00:03:51.360 --> 00:04:09.760
>> I. All those oppos same sign. Motion carries. 8.0 is the countryside public health memorand memorandum of understanding. >> Yes. And we have this is gone. I'm

13
00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:25.040
sorry. >> It's okay. Don >> here with us today. Thank you. >> It's been a long day, John. >> It's all right. It's all right. >> Here to just provide some context to the board. >> Sure. Yeah. So, um for anybody who doesn't know me, um John with

14
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:42.000
Countryside Public Health. Um we serve the five counties of Bigstone, Chipoa, Lacaro, Swift, and Yellow Medicine. So much like our district, we cover pretty much every county our district does. Um so my primary role is emergency preparedness

15
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:57.360
coordinator for um countryside public health. I also um serve uh as part of our uh disease prevention and control team. So do a lot of work with the school. Um but in my emergency preparedness work um I do emergency

16
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:14.479
planning um training and exercises um outreach and education um resource management partner coordination and then respond to to real time um incidences as well. So, um, the purpose of me coming tonight was, um, we've had a long-standing memorandum of

17
00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:31.120
understanding with the school, um, and I spoke with Scott about it a couple months ago, um, in it, it just hasn't been looked at, um, for quite some time, and as we've learned, I started back in November of 2019 with public health, so

18
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:48.160
we all know it happened a couple months later. So, I was baptized by fire um when it came to my role. Um but a lot of this hadn't been looked at for quite some time. Um and so this is just a anou regarding us being allowed to use the

19
00:05:48.160 --> 00:06:03.680
school space if the need would arise for and it would have to be a pretty significant event um for us to actually utilize the building and facilities and um some of the equipment and things like that. But essentially it would be to

20
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:20.720
distribute medications or vaccines in a um very timely manner but also in a very quick manner um if the need would arise. So um just was bringing that um here for you um thought it would be a good idea for everybody to kind of take a look at

21
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:37.280
it again. Um and then in in the agreement it's basically um it would be in place unless we mutually decided to to end it. But um the school is amongst many um other sites throughout our five counties that we would potentially use.

22
00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:54.280
Um but we're just kind of reviewing our plans, making adjustments from what we learned during COVID and things like that. So just that is that's kind of my spiel. So any specific questions about anything?

23
00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:13.520
>> You got any questions? I do not. Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Sounds good. >> All right. With that, I take a motion to approve theou with countryside public health. >> Make a motion. >> Motion by Shannon. Second.

24
00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:30.400
>> Second by Danny. Any other questions or discussion? All those in favor signal by saying I. >> I. All post same sign. >> Motion carries. 9.0 All is approve the property and liability insurance report. Nice. We have Mr. Young here.

25
00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:46.800
>> Hi everybody. >> How we doing? >> Come on up. >> If I could pull a chair, >> is it going to be that long? >> Making sure in case you have a question.

26
00:07:46.800 --> 00:08:01.120
>> U so for those of you that don't know me, my name is Ryan Young. I'm the client insurance out of Madison. um represent uh I guess the insurance group insurance group that insures the school. Um here today to present the overall

27
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:17.599
2026 27 renewal with Liberty Mutual and our cyber liability coverage with CFC. Um I think what you should have in your packets are two pages. One is an overall premium summary. The second was the layout of the statement of values or the

28
00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:34.479
replacement values for all of our property that we insured. Um, first start off by saying I'm seeing some positive improvement on the overall rate structure that we've been seeing the past four years. I think the last time this year, last time it wasn't this

29
00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:50.880
fun meeting. Um, we were seeing 20 plus% increases on property rates. Um, happy to report that we're in the single digits up and I've got a little bit of clarity as to why. Um, first off, we start with the property. I think we've seen everything that's been going on.

30
00:08:50.880 --> 00:09:06.560
You guys obviously know um all the track, tennis, um softball fields, all the additional buildings that are going up, uh concession stands, etc. So with all of that, with working with Scott, working with Adam, we kind of narrowed

31
00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:23.360
down a roster of all this stuff that we have outside, we call it property. So I feel a lot better about that. But with all of those things, we did add quite a bit of property to the overall statement of values. Um, in addition, the three school buildings that we have, um, we

32
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:40.480
did apply inflation guard values to those. Every single year, you see those numbers creep up and up and up solely so that we can keep pace with the inflation. Um, so that all said and done, I guess I would refer to that second page on property. We're looking at a total insured property blanket

33
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:58.080
value of 119 million in change. That is a delta of about 5 million. We were at 114 million last year. So with that, it it almost is apples to apples. Um 5 million up. Um we're

34
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:13.920
looking at a lot of that that change is coming in the property rate there just because we're adding some more stuff. Um but that said, um we're not seeing the rates going so skyhigh. So hopefully this holds for a while and we're not seeing these double digit rate increases

35
00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:29.120
when we're not making any changes. Um, couple other things to call out. Workers comp, we're still we still have a high um experience mod. We're at 1.47. So, what does that mean? Um, we're rated

36
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:46.000
on our payroll, which is up this year. We made some changes. So, now we have a higher payroll. So, that's one. Um, second is our experience, which is how do we compare amongst other schools with the same class code? And we We had been

37
00:10:46.000 --> 00:11:02.079
having a 47% deficit for the past three years. There's hope with uh you know slowing or lowering of of overall claims. Some of these are going to start falling off. We're going to see that experience not going back down. With that hopefully we'll see some

38
00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:16.560
improvement on the rate. Unfortunately, not this year, but my hope is next year that we see that number improve. Um that said, uh one new thing that I wanted to call to your attention is the addition of the law enforcement

39
00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:33.440
liability coverage. Um that did not have or we did not have that last year. We do have that now. Um that does come with a premium about $1,500. So just a couple of things to call out. That said, not a lot of change in this

40
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:57.279
overall removal. So the the law enforcement liabil We have an SR here now. >> Yep. In armed. >> Okay. Because it pertains um and I put it in the board update from this week, but um

41
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:15.200
we also dropped the builder's risk insurance that we were carrying during the construction. That's now over. So, everything should be covered under this. Anybody have any questions for Ryan? >> It's just good to see that it didn't

42
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:32.800
jump like it did last year. >> Pretty happy. >> Yeah. >> All right. Anybody have any questions? Thank you, Ryan. >> Thank you guys. Appreciate it. >> With that, take a motion to approve the insurance quote. Motion by Shannon. Is there a second?

43
00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:50.040
>> I'll second. >> Second by Matt. Any question? Any other questions or discussion? If not, all those in favor signal by saying >> I. Those oppos same sign. Motion carries. Thank you.

44
00:12:51.519 --> 00:13:08.560
All right. 10.0. We have a presentation of the financial reports. We got Drew here tonight. >> You're up. >> Yeah. So, uh, starting off, uh, it's all the same monthly reports that we've had, um, throughout the year. So, starting off the investment report, no

45
00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:25.920
significant changes, nothing uh out of the ordinary, just kind of uh keeping right in line with where we have been um throughout the year with our um deposits. Next page, um the enrollment report. Um

46
00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:42.160
so if you remember kind of the story of this throughout the years we kind of were a little bit lower to start the year then we jumped way high over the winter. Um this month we dropped down three students. So we were at 814 we

47
00:13:42.160 --> 00:14:00.639
ended the year at 811 students. Um so that'll be something that I'll get to um as we kind of go through the budget numbers here um proceeding. But the the end of the year we ended at 811 students

48
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:15.360
K through 12. Um moving on to the next page, expenditures. Same thing as we've uh kind of uh discussed throughout the year. Kind of just business as usual. Nothing really.

49
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:44.720
um out of the ordinary or nothing too um uh surprising uh looking at the numbers here. >> Does anybody have any questions on anything? >> So with people you serve, we receive funding. Do we see receive that

50
00:14:44.720 --> 00:15:01.519
quarterly? >> No. So we get the way that works is we we receive payments from the state. It's the 15th and the 30th or the middle and the end of the month is when we receive the payments kind of coinciding with with payroll dates for the most part. Um

51
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:17.920
and it's it's a really complicated formula. I wouldn't be able to say exactly how or why um the state's formula spits it out, but basically it's going to vary a little bit um throughout the year. Sometimes you might get

52
00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:32.959
$800,000, sometimes you might get $400,000, sometimes you might get a million dollar. It all varies on according to the state's aotment uh throughout the year. Um, but the way that works is that we go in to start the

53
00:15:32.959 --> 00:15:51.440
year, we go into ADM WE is the program through uh the state of Minnesota where we kind of budget our um ADM forecast for the year. And so like in this case, we we budgeted 785 students um on the

54
00:15:51.440 --> 00:16:07.839
financial side to start the year. I can't verify for sure that that's the number that the state is metering out payments on, but basically the state looks at ADM. They say, "Okay, Lockaro is going to have 785 students. We're

55
00:16:07.839 --> 00:16:24.000
going to cut them payments throughout the year based on 785 students." And then at the end of the year, our Mars submissions or the actual ADM submissions get rolled into the state

56
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:42.639
and then the actual like receivable process. we get I don't know it's 75% just kind of a estimate of we could get 75% of this fiscal year's aid over the course of the year and then 25% drags on

57
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:58.959
through payments for the next year. Um it's kind of a complicated nerdy kind of process to explain but >> but we do receive our grow. >> Yes. Yes. Yeah. Exactly. And we get metered out initially based on what we

58
00:16:58.959 --> 00:17:14.799
submit. >> Yeah. >> And then once our submissions are kind of opened up by the state, then they kind of meter it out. If if we ended the year at 775 students, our uh like receivable or our kind of allocation

59
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:31.600
metered out going forward would end up being a little bit less for this year. In this case, since we ended up with more students, we'll get a slightly larger the actual cash payments that come to us will be a larger portion of

60
00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:50.760
the total aid for the year. That makes sense. >> Or is that part of the reason that they that last 25% kind of takes longer to get because they're they're also factoring? >> Yeah. Yes. Any

61
00:17:51.360 --> 00:18:12.320
other questions on monthly financials? Okay, we'll move to 11.0 for the proposed preliminary budget. So, moving along to the next uh page, the 27 budget here. So, I didn't think ahead

62
00:18:12.320 --> 00:18:32.559
far enough to realize that this was going to be in black and white, not uh colorcoded. Um, but >> um if I don't do you guys have color? >> Well, long story short, the top section

63
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:50.480
um with all the individual lines, that's all the separate fund balances that we have. So basically the left side or the expenditures column is our expenditures for the year in that fund balance. The revenues is our projected revenues in that that particular line item. The way

64
00:18:50.480 --> 00:19:07.200
it works is that there's all of these detail uh level fund balances that condense down into the um overall summarized funds. So there's the general fund, food service, transportation, community ed, yada yada yada, all the

65
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:23.840
way down the line. Um, so it's good to be able to kind of look on both sides of it to have the summarized version down at the bottom, but also be able to identify the um particular line items where you might be budgeted to

66
00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:41.679
overspend a little bit or have a little bit of a surplus. So, um, just to start off the top line item, the unrestricted fund balance, that's the, um, kind of meat and potatoes of the district. That's all the staffing, all of the, uh,

67
00:19:41.679 --> 00:19:55.440
buildings and grounds or the the all the staffing, miscellaneous supplies, repairs, stuff like that, all runs through the unrestricted fund balance. So um the the projection this is based

68
00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:12.880
on 795 students K through 12. Um so based on where we ended the year at with 811 um it's a little bit conservative but it's always beneficial to be a little bit

69
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:28.559
conservative than to be counting on money that uh um if if things change enrollment wise um it's it's always to be a little bit conservative on the revenue side, kind of overestimate a little bit on the expenditure just to

70
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:44.720
kind of avoid a worst case scenario. Um, but basically this would put us to the good by about 130 grand in um, uh, surplus for the year within the unrestricted fund balance.

71
00:20:44.720 --> 00:21:02.400
>> Uh, and that's based on using the 795. >> Yep. Yep. So, If if that number were to we start off the year and it comes in at 801 on the first day of school and still >> we get to December it's at 808 and then

72
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:18.280
it's going to might fluctuate a little bit but as long as we stay above the K12 enrollment of 795 the the revenue side should hold um based on those scenarios. Um

73
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:36.240
going through that that would put us assuming these numbers uh would put us at uh projected fund balance to close up next year of just over 20% um fund balance. So um just something to be aware of. We're in a really strong uh

74
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:54.320
stable financial position, then um things can be fickle sometimes uh depending on state requirements or who knows everything under the sun um that we can't predict. Um but we should uh be

75
00:21:54.320 --> 00:22:10.960
continue to be in a pretty strong stable financial position within the general fund specifically here. um going through the rest of the um general fund fund balances throughout the B throughout the list there. Most of them are just kind of money in money

76
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:26.799
out. It's just kind of colored with a different um uh pot of money that is within the general fund, but it's kind of eaten up by specific costs like um achievement

77
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:42.880
integration or Q comp. Those are it's just money in money out. We receive aid and then we pay it out to staff. Um another line item would be the state save schools um $449 $42,000

78
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:58.480
in expenditures and 33,000 in revenues that the vast majority of that is the SRO. Um, so we've had discussions with Scott, we've had ongoing discussions over the last year as the uh we kind of got the ball rolling with this SRO

79
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:16.320
position. Um, so there's enough of a fund balance uh there where spending 10 grand um for the year isn't a a huge um deal breaker, but um just something to

80
00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:33.600
be aware of that if we have a SRO position that's going to run approximately 40 grand a year, we only receive about 30 to 35 grand safe schools aid from from the um going down

81
00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:50.480
throughout the rest. Um food service next down. Um, we're in really um strong position there with all the uh free meals from uh the state over the hand last handful of years. We're able

82
00:23:50.480 --> 00:24:08.320
to grow the food service fund balance that we had discussed earlier on this year um about spending down that that balance a little bit. Um, and so we we have wiggle room to go above and beyond.

83
00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:23.840
If there's things that that is eligible for food service that can kind of help um kind of set us up for success in the future, that's a definitely a line item to be aware of that. uh

84
00:24:23.840 --> 00:24:40.320
we really should spend down the uh MDE guidance is um two or three months worth of expenditure. So we we should be free to spend 100 150 grand over um where where

85
00:24:40.320 --> 00:24:56.159
we're at here if needed. Um Drew, if I can add there is an item that we'll come to later on in the agenda that's actually going to be addressing that um The the downside is there's a lot of restrictions because it's food service dollars on what you can spend it on. You

86
00:24:56.159 --> 00:25:12.559
can't spend it on staffing unless it's in the food service area. You can't, you know, but we we have identified some strategic things that I think will be real benefit to the school. So, give it that. >> Uh going down the next line, transportation. One big big uh ticket

87
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:28.159
item uh that's included in this $898,000 is a new bus. Um, so we'll be getting to that later on, but basically we kind of crunched the numbers as we got to the end of the year. We have um we're able to make it work where we're able to get

88
00:25:28.159 --> 00:25:45.360
a bus charged off to FY26 and then also worked into the budget next year where uh ends need to be able to get a second new bus for next year as well. Um going down through community ed uh kind

89
00:25:45.360 --> 00:26:03.919
of just status quo business as usual. Um the ' 05 fund that's capital and LTFM same thing. There's enough fund balance there especially the operating capital. um those two line items that we're

90
00:26:03.919 --> 00:26:21.039
overspending a little bit, but we based on discussions this spring uh with Scott, we have plenty of money available. So, we kind of made the decision to spend down um using some of those excess funds to be able to get new

91
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:38.080
new uh there's I don't know how many dollars worth of requests that come in each springtime in capital requests. We only get approximately 200 50 grand in uh capital funding and that money goes by goes really quick. Um so

92
00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:52.799
based on the money that we have available, we decided to overspend a little bit, take take uh care of some people and get things that they were really passionate about getting to upgrade the the facilities.

93
00:26:52.799 --> 00:27:08.320
Going down through the rest, uh debt service building project, that's just money in, money out. We don't really have any say in that. Um, student activities, that's truly money in, money out. Uh, fundraising from the students.

94
00:27:08.320 --> 00:27:24.320
25, that's OPED revocable trust. Um, doesn't mean anything to anybody other than me. Um, and then fund 65 is the house construction project. So, this is something that was revitalized from

95
00:27:24.320 --> 00:27:40.000
years and years and years ago. So, um, after discussing with Scott, we spent a lot of time kind of putting our heads together. I would look at this and I don't know what fun 65 means until we had discussions and were able to uh look

96
00:27:40.000 --> 00:28:12.520
back for previous years. So, basically this is funds related to the uh house project that'll be ongoing throughout the next school year. Is there any questions on anything that anybody Good.

97
00:28:15.679 --> 00:28:34.360
>> All right. Thanks, Drew. Uh, with that, take a motion to approve the preliminary budget for the 2627 school year. >> Motion by Danny, second by >> M.

98
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:49.039
>> Any other questions, discussion? All those in favor signal by saying I. >> I. All those opposed, same sign. >> Motion carries. 12.0 is payment of bills and claims. I'll make a motion to approve the June

99
00:28:49.039 --> 00:29:07.360
2026 board bills of $250,000 25037,000.98 May 2026 manual checks of $95,88.38 and the June 2026 construction bills of $150,892

100
00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:27.039
for grand total $496,9558. We'll second that. Any questions or discussions on the bills and claims? If not, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. All those opposed, same sign.

101
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:44.960
Motion carries. 13.0 is the review of the 2526 school nurse report which is attached on exhibit 14. the list of everything that Heather has done

102
00:29:44.960 --> 00:30:20.880
and working on. There was no asks in there was I didn't see any >> just her annual report to take a motion to approve for report >> by Shannon. Is there a second? I'll

103
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:35.760
second by Matt. Any questions or discussion? >> All in favor signify by saying I. >> All right. All post same sign. Motion carries. 14.0 is the cost of the

104
00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:58.320
trim improvements. That is on exhibit 15. And um Scott did a lot of leg work on that. Scott, do you want to kind of share a little bit about what >> Sure. Um just with the uh with the pricing that this was going to be

105
00:30:58.320 --> 00:31:15.679
sitting at, we did go out and get a few different bids. Um so we we pulled in three different bids. Um they're they are a little bit different in terms of price, but um one of them in in regards to Lakeshore Learning that table

106
00:31:15.679 --> 00:31:34.960
or not. >> This is it right here. Um, this would be a product that Lakes Shore Learning, they gave to us so we could have a sample just so you could have it here for us. Um the unfortunate thing is as

107
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:52.000
we look at branding and and kind of getting our logos and everything and our school well the school colors could kind of work but um that's not a real strength of theirs to to uh have any of our logos or anything on it. Um the color options are a little limited too.

108
00:31:52.000 --> 00:32:08.320
The the nice thing about their company is it's a lifetime warranty. So any chips, any cracks, any whatever, they just send you a replacement replacement item for it. Um, so as we as we navigated through, it really depends on

109
00:32:08.320 --> 00:32:23.200
what the board is is interested in, but um, what I was under the impression of is that we kind of wanted to brand it in a way that really popped with our school colors and and and just our logos and all of that stuff. So with that being

110
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:40.240
said, um, probably expensive option, but um um with Innovative, if you've been in the Benson School District, when you walk into their um their commons area, this is the product that they have there. So, it's a it's a

111
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:55.200
pretty high quality product. It's branded with their logos. Um it feels very durable to me when I've sat at tables or been around, you know, the chairs, etc. Um, so the design for that, and this is what Scott was referencing

112
00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:11.120
earlier, um, when Drew was talking about food service dollars, is that that money can actually be utilized for this project because some of our kiddos will be sitting in there eating, you know, at times families will be there also using it as kind of a leisure area, etc. when

113
00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:29.279
they're out here for games. But you can get a a visual for what that looks like on page 52. Oh, it's like page 50 through 52. Um, you can get a visual. So, there's

114
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:45.440
some there's some booths in there, couple tables. Those tables actually fold vertical so that it's easier for storing when they're not being used. I believe the tables can be raised and lowered. Um, everything is on casters so they can be easily moved around if we

115
00:33:45.440 --> 00:34:00.720
need to use them for anything. And then the the high top table that where you get the visual on page 52. Um that has basically seating for eight.

116
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:17.280
There's the option of having our logo on the end of it on both ends of it. Um the one downside to that is if we would set it up the way this picture shows it, the one logo would be up against a wall so probably not visible. Um, I am under the

117
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:33.440
impression that it's either all or nothing in terms of logos. You can't put it on one side. And when Scott and I were talking, we just we thought too since this stuff is on casters and easy to move, it might be out in the in the commons at times or in different places. So, probably would be pretty sharp if if

118
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:49.679
we had the uh the logos on it. The cost of that is just short of $2,000 to add to add that to the end of it. We just got that information today. So, I think all said and done, this proposal would be about $30,000. Right in that right in

119
00:34:49.679 --> 00:35:06.000
that ballpark was 20. >> Yeah. Yeah. And then 2,000 be right around that $30,000. In a little context for this, the um buildings and grounds team had met and this has been brought up with other items like bleachers and things like that had met to look at

120
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:23.760
where where do we potentially because we came in under budget on the referendum project and the the bond project. How what would be some secondary projects that we wanted to do but couldn't fit in originally? In that discussion, Corey had asked us to look at this area

121
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:39.599
because it had have really not been developed in many years. We do have a lot of kids after school that are waiting either they're done with their activities or whatever and they don't really have a place to congregate. So, they either just hang out by the doors or they wander the halls or they do

122
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:54.400
whatever. And part of our hope too is that this could be a place not just for like breakfast in the morning or lunch, but it could also be a place that when kids are waiting for the rides and things like that, they can be sitting by the open windows in a place that are a little bit more contained. And as Scott

123
00:35:54.400 --> 00:36:11.359
said, so the original plan was to get this priced out so that we could see if we could use that those remaining dollars. As we were talking with Drew and looking at the different funds we had available and knowing that it's always a struggle to find things that qualify for food service, this actually

124
00:36:11.359 --> 00:36:26.000
would. And that being the case, um the students had named I'm forgetting was it the the Eagle's Nest? >> Yeah, I can't remember. >> But the students went through a process of of being a part of the of our cafe, giving it a name and things like that.

125
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:41.839
And so, um, my recommendation would be that because we do have the money to do this and do it right, the board approve doing that through the food service dollars. That's

126
00:36:41.839 --> 00:36:57.839
Can we add another high table? Looking at the room on this picture on 52 because right now I think we got about 26 places to sit. You mean in that storage area? >> Oh, is that a storage area? >> Well, it's not a wall. I was going to I

127
00:36:57.839 --> 00:37:14.720
was I mean high top table. Otherwise, I was thinking would it be possible to do like a couch in that we can we can do anything we want there. And the stuff currently there's lunch tables, some extra over lunch tables sat in there. Um

128
00:37:14.720 --> 00:37:31.440
Adam said that we can find the different stuff in there. So that space is fully available >> aren't shown in dirty either. >> Yeah. So on the on the right side of this image, there's the two pot machines that will still be in there. >> But yeah, I mean we could we could

129
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:47.680
certainly add whatever you guys want. >> I was thinking it'd be nice to have just like if you have mothers with small kids, if you have a sporting event or whatever, there's a little bit >> more comfortable spot for them to sit. And then potentially adding like a TV

130
00:37:47.680 --> 00:38:07.040
where whatever is being done is if it's being live streamed like we do down kind of by the concession stands when you're down there you can see it is to have a TV in there that during an event night you can have it streamed your guys' thoughts are

131
00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:23.440
>> and so then on the top of the tables that's all included in 2000. No. Um, that's included in the original bid of 28,000. >> Oh, okay. >> The the additional I think it's 1,900ish. Um, was adding those logos on that high

132
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:40.640
top table on each side. >> So then if you wanted to add some more seating, there would be additional cost, but as Drew mentioned, there's probably a >> Yeah, just like a little owl or >> but durable.

133
00:38:40.640 --> 00:38:57.880
>> But durable. Yeah. can be wiped up if people spill on it. >> Right. Kind of like kind of like those are >> just bolt the screen right there. >> Yeah. It just kind of angles up kind of like that's done with a concession stand. >> Yeah.

134
00:38:58.240 --> 00:39:15.920
>> Anybody else if you do want to do put that in there as well? We can actually make that. >> We can make it. >> We can just add it. I mean, it's not going to be thousands and thousands of dollars. So, if we just want to add that >> So, if we just want to add that a little

135
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:32.800
addition to the motion, then we can just do it. You don't have to worry about bringing it back. >> Do you want uh them to put another image together of that information and just have it sent out to you guys for a quick visual like? >> Sure. >> Yeah, that just so we kind of >> all are on the same page.

136
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:48.000
And then it kind of goes about saying that then the good the good news with that is that that's another approximately $25,000 with the remaining funds from the project that that we will not have to spend on this. So it could be some other need that the building has

137
00:39:48.000 --> 00:40:04.880
and that committee can work with. >> We can take a TV out of there even though it's >> Yeah. But even I mean even a TV's on the box. >> You can put menus on it. >> What's that? You could put menus on the DV. >> Yeah, you put the menu on it. >> Oh, there. There you go. Good thinking,

138
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:22.880
Dave. Drew, cover your ears. >> But, you know, that is something though that we have gotten feedback from our public. They would like to see us invest in our food service becoming just allound better program. And I think that that's this is one way, you know,

139
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:40.560
we wanted the kids to have ownership and naming it and stuff too. So, it's kind of theirs. The meals need to be improved. That's what they really want. >> And they're doing that, too. >> The main line. >> Okay. >> Otherwise, the six of us will probably

140
00:40:40.560 --> 00:40:58.880
be hanging from lake pools out here. >> But you'll have really nice seats. >> I'm probably on the TV. >> All right. So, I take a motion to approve the proposed improvements to the

141
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:14.480
atrium with the addition of adding a couch seating area and a TV for the menu. >> Um, will it be done the first one? >> I think it'll be close. Okay. >> Um, it'll be, you know, once everything finalized, I think they said roughly six

142
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:30.319
weeks. So, it should be close. Should be pretty close. Yeah. I don't think we can embroider our our marker or eagle's name marketing on the back of the couch. I think we'll be good. >> Just the color. >> I think there's enough eagles on

143
00:41:30.319 --> 00:41:50.079
>> Brandon. No. >> All right. So, we got a motion with that those changes. >> Yeah. >> Motion by Danny. Is there a second? >> Second by Shannon. Any further discussion?

144
00:41:50.079 --> 00:42:05.040
If not, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. All right. Now, on to 15.0, the receiving of quotes and awarding bids for the 26 27 school year. So, the first

145
00:42:05.040 --> 00:42:22.640
one up is we have our milk bids. It looks like >> one. >> I'll make a motion. We have a motion for Danny to approve Cass Clay Creedley. There second

146
00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:41.040
by Shannon. Question or discussion. All those in favor signal by saying I post same sign. Smoked bids pass. Bread bids. Looks like we have one again. No.

147
00:42:41.040 --> 00:42:59.440
>> One again. >> A panel. make a motion. >> A motion from Shannon a second. >> I'll second Matt. Questions or discussion? Those in favor signal by saying I

148
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:15.359
>> So bread bids pass. Fuel bids for the Appleton bus garage. We have Ashen Oil and Propane again with a 15 cent discount. There's only one. So I take a motion to >> move.

149
00:43:15.359 --> 00:43:31.839
>> I do have a question. >> Yes. >> When it says consumption billing average, that's still 15 cents per g. >> Correct. >> Believe. So >> that's the only thing that wasn't clear because when I looked at the next one coming up for Madison site, then it was

150
00:43:31.839 --> 00:43:56.640
a 12 cent straight across the board. It just didn't it didn't use that terminology. just one >> because there's a tank >> on site >> then it's because Apple has that tank on site. >> Oh, that's right.

151
00:43:56.640 --> 00:44:17.280
>> You know, and then Madison, they just go right to the pump. >> They go right to the pump. >> So, that's the difference between the two. >> That is the difference. >> Yeah. We got a motion for that one. >> Motion by Danny. Is there a second? >> Second.

152
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:34.359
>> Second by Shannon. Questions or discussions? All in favor sign by saying I. >> All right. Those opposed. So Appleton passes and fuel bid for Madison. We have this LQP co-op

153
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:51.200
for side. Yes. >> But I do have a question about the co-op. What are they going to do while they're under construction? Are the diesel pumps still going to remain there or is that in a different location from the center station that's being put up?

154
00:44:51.200 --> 00:45:07.760
>> No, it's the same one. I believe that their pumps are staying until they switch over. >> I think they're going to go new tanks and new pumps. >> It says in here that there's a going to be an interrupt service and then they'll communicate schedule down time and work on the plan to continue to service the

155
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:22.960
school. >> They have a >> kind of like Dawson did. I suppose they put up temporary >> barrels whatever they have to. >> Okay. So, we have a motion to accept >> co-hops. I'll make a motion.

156
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:39.440
>> Motion by Matt. Is there a second? >> Second by Shannon. Any other questions or discussion? All those in favor signal by saying I opposed being signed. Motion carries. On to 15.1 which is you have in front of

157
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:54.160
you as an addition which is the purchase of two school buses. So um we have here. So the first one is for the 2526 school year which we already

158
00:45:54.160 --> 00:46:11.440
budgeted for last year which is the used 22 Thomas. Is that a smaller bus? Is it the same size as what? >> I think it's a 71 passenger. >> Okay. >> So it's just one row less than the big

159
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:33.359
passenger bus. >> Okay. That's for $77,650.38. And then a new bud or a new used 2019 Ice International. Why is that one so much higher? >> That's for $93.

160
00:46:33.359 --> 00:46:50.319
>> I think it's strictly because it's a third party dealer type of thing. It's like a they handle all kinds of different buses where the other bus is being purchased from IC International. Okay. >> It's not a bus, so they want to get it

161
00:46:50.319 --> 00:47:05.920
off their block. >> Okay. Okay. >> Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Well, then they should charge less if they want to move it faster. >> They did. >> She's talking the 22

162
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:22.640
>> is cheap. That's why that was cheaper. >> Okay. I was >> the other way around. I'm buying the international from a third party, you know, just a sales west place type of thing >> and I'm getting the Thomas from

163
00:47:22.640 --> 00:47:41.680
international dealers. So, >> okay. >> Is there any questions on the school bus? Anybody? And Kristen had recommended a number of vehicles for removal as well that were,

164
00:47:41.680 --> 00:47:58.720
you know, aging out or rusting out or whatever. And so in some cases, our routes change as well. And correct me if I'm wrong, Kristen, but through our conversations that our routes have changed such that we don't need as many small vehicles and we actually are served better by having buses. the all

165
00:47:58.720 --> 00:48:15.200
the smaller vehicles that we're getting rid of have they don't haul students anymore. So, it's they they can't haul any students. So, it was strictly for maintenance and all that type of stuff in there. There I think between all the buses and all

166
00:48:15.200 --> 00:48:30.720
the vehicles, I don't think there's 5,000 miles in the last two years on all six of those vehicles. So, I'm like, okay, it's time to get rid of them >> rather than pay to maintain >> them. No. Good idea. Okay. Thank you. >> Yep.

167
00:48:30.720 --> 00:48:46.720
>> All right. There's no other questions on the school bus purchase. I take a motion to approve. >> Motion by Shannon. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Matt. Any questions. All those in favor signal by saying I.

168
00:48:46.720 --> 00:49:04.480
>> I. Opposed. Same sign. Motion carries. 16.0 is proposed membership to the state high school league. See this just basically allows us to be a part of the state high school league and

169
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:45.680
participate in state tournament. Yeah. All the school districts have to do. This lady. >> All right. So, we need a motion to adopt the resolution be a part of Minnesota State High School League rule. >> Well, I so move.

170
00:49:45.680 --> 00:49:59.680
>> Motion by Danny. You got a second? Second. >> Second by Shannon. Any questions or discussions? If not, all those in favor signal by saying I. >> Right.

171
00:49:59.680 --> 00:50:16.880
Those oppos same side. Motion carries. 17.0 is establishing dates and filing affidavits for candidacy. You see there we have myself, Corey, and Matt are up

172
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:38.079
for reelection this year. The filings begin July 14th through the 28th. So take a motion to approve dates. Motion

173
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:57.000
>> Shannon a second. Second by Matt. Questions or discussions? All those in favor signify by saying I. All post same sign. Motion carries.

174
00:50:57.200 --> 00:51:12.240
Now we're on to monthly building leader reports. So we got anything for you? Um, the only thing I would add is that I put together a SM grant in early May to bring back Ros

175
00:51:12.240 --> 00:51:30.319
Sutter. He's he was here dancing and playing his fiddle and all that fun Norwegian Scandinavian heritage. And we found out that we were awarded that grant. It's for $4,000.

176
00:51:30.319 --> 00:51:46.720
So he and a group of individuals will be coming in November and it will align with Norfest in Madison. So be kind of a week long event with maybe that Saturday in Madison, but um that would be about

177
00:51:46.720 --> 00:52:02.000
the only thing I'll add. >> Okay, you can see Tony's and Robin. Scott, do you have just working to get staff finalizing the building ready? I would like to say thank you Scott for your service while you've been here for these couple years.

178
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:20.400
It's been a pleasure working with you and wish you nothing but the best and uh welcome Karina. Looking forward to working with you. So yeah, >> nothing from EA community buildings and grounds on to you. >> Your last one.

179
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:37.040
>> Yeah. Um and really I'll keep it short and sweet. I just really wanted to first of all thank the board for the opportunity to serve as your superintendent. Um it's been a pleasure working with all of you um and with Ken and Corey who are not here um tonight. And uh I also just wanted to say thank

180
00:52:37.040 --> 00:52:52.800
you to all the staff and the families of the district. I very much enjoyed the time being here as your superintendent and I'm excited for what the future brings for Carl schools with Korea. >> That means you just got to continue

181
00:52:52.800 --> 00:53:15.040
She your finance guy and your cooks. So good. >> I You heard it. You wanted to hear about our future, right? And our continued success. That's as good as gold in my book. >> Well, that is the plan. So, excellent.

182
00:53:15.040 --> 00:53:29.520
>> That's right. That's all you got. 19.0. Any other business? Okay. Before we adjourn, I'd like to say on behalf of the board, thank you Scott for your your time and service here at Laro. We appreciate it and we wish you

183
00:53:29.520 --> 00:53:48.559
the best in Alaska. Thank you. With that, I'll take motion by Shannon. Second take by Matt. All in favor? Eight on four.
