report we had a policy meeting as you can see we had a busy policy meeting um went through a lot of policies a most of them are statute um description and some statute changes we did kind of talk about where we want to go with the cell
phone you know usage by our students and that type of thing and that's something that Dr Willer sent out um as far as didn't we we there was a thing on the email just to look over the policy cuz we thought that the whole board should have have their thoughts on that instead
of just three of us even with that would it make sense to have like a work session we could we could and and I'm hoping that through media Outlets we can make people aware that this is a conversation we're having on do we
completely ban cell phones in the school um do we allow latitude for an individual teacher to make a determination whether or not they use a cell phone do we allow for access in passing time I mean there's there's a number of things that we talked about
the policy subcommittee just saying that this is a this is a pretty big conversation we know that some districts are taking a hard line saying the cell phone is checked at the door when you come in and you can access it during passing time and that's it um anything else is a
violation um and and we do know that some teachers have utilized cell phones in their classrooms the question that came up in the policy subcommittee is how essential is that knowing that we're a one toone District so is it really essential to have access to cell phones knowing that we have the technology
tools in the hands of kids already so again probably something we do want to have a little work session on just to get a little research and have some conversation and how to support staff how to enforce it and how to support staff we talked about that because I think that's a big part
of it yeah and all just in the last week and parents you know there was a big thing on national news I forget was it New York state or somewhere they're going after I think so taking cell phones I don't remember the exact state
but it was well and how we and we talked about how to get parents on board with changes if we do change you know like how to talk to them about it and I think if you take them away totally you're in for a big war I think
so too we talked about thing just my I'm saying I'm for it I would agree but you got to have a try to get a happy meeting what's what's the right sweet spot I would agree we talked about just moving on to
8.2 superintendent report all right just a few items as was already referenced tremco is going to be on site I believe later on this week um to take a look and do their assessment and then from their assessment they'll put together a a plan
of attack to address the roof um last we had heard they're still very optimis Mystic in the bid climate because of the mild winter that we had so there are companies that are looking for work so that's that's good news so we'll see how that comes together and they said they canile a report and have it ready to
share back with the with the board so um that's a pretty important one along with that we had um signed a property insurance and our coverage had been dropped by Liberty Mutual and we had been looking hard um
working with with kazlowski and they actually found a an agent um I guess there's different scales of agencies and it's a larger agency called the main street in first Main Street Insurance located in Iowa um they
partner with EMC to provide property and casual insurance and we actually saw a decrease in our insurance rates which was positive because we're among um a sount area in southwest Minnesota that's deemed to be a high risk for wind and
hail damage even though over the last 5 years I think we've had one claim on anything um which was kind of fascinating but um because of the designation uh Liberty Mutual was dropping us and while other districts around the area saw increases of 25 to
$40,000 um our our costs actually went down um I believe close to 25 or 30,000 the other direction so that's positive um and good coverage EMC is a very reputable uh provider and Company so we're really excited about that um I
know that there were some questions early on about Title 9 training for staff we're not going to be able to do that during our Workshop week if you recall when we set the calendar this year we actually had to carve one day off of Workshop week and in order to still provide staff some opportunities
to work in their classrooms we're going to have to push that title 9 training we're still committed to doing it but we're going to have to push it back a little bit I think it's just a high priority that we still have to adhere to um we just don't have time in the in the couple of days that we have as we start
the school year out so that's something that we'll be working on um couple other things that you can project into the future in terms of some agreements that will be brought before the board we met with Southwest Health and Human Services
to talk about anou between the school district and their Agency for the collaborative for all the years that the collaborative has existed there hasn't been any sort of formal agreement and we know that that's pretty important given that we're looking at student data the
survey information um there's individual contacts with students so we should have something formalized that uh memorializes that agreement officially so we're working on that and then also um our current law enforcement officer
agreement is set to expire October 31st so we've already initiated some conversations with the county just saying hey we need to get a get that in place so that as we look towards the months of August or September ideally at the latest we can have a new agreement in place I think it's worth having the
uniformed officer present in the district um it just adds to our Safety and Security protocols and processes so um we're we're positive that we'll have that done and there's interest in continuing that relationship and then uh one last thing I'll just share is that
um strategic planning work um is something that I know our current strategic plan is is set to expire in 25 um so it's time to start thinking about our strategic plan and we actually bake that partly into that grant that I informed the board about earlier um and
so we've started to reach out to a couple of different organizations that help with that type of work and really centering it on what we call a profile of a graduate or a portrait of a learner um so that we can sit with uh groups of students staff members community members
and have and board members and have a conversation what do we expect a graduate from Pipestone Area Schools to know and do and be able to accomplish after they are done with graduation and kind of then backward design from there what the vision is to what we're doing
in terms of the educational process in classrooms so um pretty intense process but I think it'll give us a really good model for what we want our school to do going forward I know our last strategic plan it was a good effort but I think there were some real disconnects in
terms of some of the goals the metrics and I think there was some real needs to get staff a little more involved in that process so that's what the goal is with this so um those are just a few of the things to highlight any questions for you mentioned Staffing as far as
struggling the special ed teachers side of things what is the what is the plan there is is are we changing up plans to try to find and fill those positions yeah um couple of things that we've been
working on with that uh particularly with the service Cooperative we've had a couple of of pair of professionals that have signed up for um this pipeline Grant which will help them complete credits and work towards their degree
and I think we have two Paras that have signed up for that I believe right now so that's a couple of other potential opportunities um we continuing to advertise and we're probably going to have to look
at hiring some out of field placements again to to fill in that position and we met with our new special education director today Tish is not going to be with us she's been reassigned to some other districts um kind of more to the
north she'll be heading up towards Ortonville way that's her most Northerly District that she'll be working with so our new special ed director we actually visit with her about that today just the mentoring and support that she can provide as well as the service Cooperative as a whole as we look
towards the reality of having to do some out of field placements um just isn't a pipeline and and that's a huge issue right now and uh and I think there's some information out there that that just indicates the likelihood of special
education teachers to leave the field it's pretty high and for them to even leave a district is is pretty high we even talked today about increas ing the number of paperwork days potentially to provide some added supports um and and I think we just are going to have to be
real creative going forward and thinking about how we might be able to incentivize and support special education teachers or those that may be interest in pursuing a special education lure um and if those incentives include monetary incentives I think we're going to have to look at that just because
again we're but it sounds like a state I mean a state Nationwide issue really is it's not like it's just us or just right how do we keep the Cooperative from coaching a good well but it's just discussion no it it is it and and I
hesitate to say because it's a market driven game right now and and and the other discussion is if we use this grant money to help educate them are they obligated to be here for a while then or I yeah it's
it's a Cooperative Grant it's a grant through the service so they're part of it so we can these parents can get all the training we can send them and then the next year they can go to the jump ship yeah that's a hard thing what do you do there is no and I guess the good news is
by doing that we're still adding to the pipeline overall hopefully you incentivize them enough to stay them through material EXA through through other means yeah do we have any efforts of going out to other to to other special ed teachers in other districts
and try to bring them in we we advertise we haven't picked up the phone and called individuals yet but I think we're going to have to start doing that just because again it's it's the shortage and and even talking to some people and we haven't done this um looking at who
might hold a licensure in special education that's on staff right now in the district because we may have some license fed staff members and talking to them about the possibility of doing a an assignment change
um I know some staff members have said if I'm assigned to special education I'm out of here and you don't want that I well that that one of the attachments he had sent out yeah I think what like 74% of um
of I for what term he use special education teachers are more likely to change districts but the the the teachers that you bring in that aren't a special teacher those are the ones that are out of here you know so it's like well boy really don't want to do that
exactly exactly exactly and that's when I feel like it's it's a you really have to want to be a special educ I mean you just do it it takes a lot of extra patience and a lot of understanding and and the and the complexities have changed um the
conversation that we had today was just the number of Behavioral issues that our special education teachers are addressing and and trying to support the general education teachers with because they're those behavior issues don't stop at the special education threshold they
carry into the classrooms and are it's an ongoing it is it is and this will be an ongoing B each year yeah yeah and and they're a little bit of good news and not that this is the right solution but
it's part of the solution um there was a time when the the ELC for the co-op was capped off at the number of students that they were accepting anymore simply because they were running into staffing issues
um they have hired some additional staff not hours for this position um but they've hired some additional teachers so there is some capacity back through the elc's which is a good thing um but again it's that's for some some of the worst
case scenario students that we have um and I know this is a conversation that keeps Jennifer Moritz up at night because she's told me as much multiple times it's just a it's a huge issue so to your question Tyler I don't
have a great answer I I wish I had a better solution but I don't I it's just we're GNA keep trying any other questions for were you adding the rest of the staff besides this I think we're sitting pretty good aren't
we I think we're sitting pretty good um that's really that's good don't math teacher no math teacher Ma and the math is the other one yes yes school math at the high school is that the only thing left at the high
school and in special letter not sure it's just art yeah the last I checked it was the special ed the math I
don't I don't know about the elementary Special Elementary speci pray school math school high school teachers so I'll with you so it's just this justing especially math all
right tell friend opportunities and pip Stone moving on number nine discussion items 9.1 first reading of the 2425 little arol preschool handbook Jennifer did you have any
comments you wanted to make on this or that many changes pretty minim I didn't see PR minimal I just see one one it was very minimal I think just forgot the word fee after I um I don't know
what tuition must be under tuition yeah oh yeah I well I can't on this but I I can change that since it's the first stre reading now we can make that modification any other
comments again that's the first reading so 9.2 first reading of the 2425 Elementary handbook I don't have an attachment for I didn't have an attachment that's the one I didn't have attachment for I didn't know if you're supposed to or
not but I just I see up on this one Jen do you want to comment on any really not much changes in here small little minor ones I guess kind of the biggest one is just having only have guests in the building that they have to
come in check into theor system what we [Music] visitors coming in they keep their driver's license they the badge they their badge just the first reading anyway right so y
I'll send we've had very few issues with that Raptor approach in the high school so it's it's worked well there was only one instance last year where somebody didn't want to turn in their driver's license but then we worked through that that was an interesting
exchange the gentleman had had his security compromised at some point in time and he was concerned that by leaving his badge at the driver's license the front desk I thought you just ran it through the system if you ran it well you do but then we leave it so that they return their badge that
they get and then they get their license back yeah yeah well they do yeah it's a sticker but they return that got and we know they yeah got it's part of our whole process I see but we were able to work through that so any questions on this we get a copy
of it but thanks for clarifying changes 9.3 first reading of the 2425 activity handbook again really minimal changes you can see the updates of some of the
coaches there's a couple of blanks where there are coaches left to be filled in um but for the most part this is very similar yeah very similar to what you have adopted previously did T retire from head coach
yes well who operating baseball it was yeah it was C this year just after the season yeah y think like baseball season it's done
it's done it's done season any questions on the activity hand okay moving on 9.4 first reading of policy 406 public
and private Personnel data 410 Family and Medical Leave 413 harassment and violent and form 506 student discipline and forms 507 corporal punishment and CH restraint
57.5 school resource officers 514 bullying prohibit prohibition prohibition 515 protection and privacy of P pupil records and form 524 internet
acceptable use and safety and fors 53 4 School meals 601 School District curriculum and instruction goals 603 curriculum development 708 transportation of
nonpublic school students and 806 crisis management policy and you guys have discussion on all these yeah most of them are just either descriptions or statute statute changes if you want to read what was
left in was this once again they've updated 524 and this this was a suggestion anyway oh right right well it might be I mean I don't know I think it would be important to know because to me what's the point of
us making a policy if it's not going to be enforced so I feel like that's a a discussion that you either need to have with the principles or the principles need to come you know like be part of that discussion of the work session I mean that's how I feel about it you know I mean it's only I mean a
policy is only a policy on paper if you don't enforce it it's not it's not going to you know right and that comes back to ensuring that it's a policy that's equally enforcable so if it'sfor and that's the thing yeah that's what I mean it has to be consistent it has to be consist
residual impact of I agree repercussions if somebody lays down the law and somebody disagrees that yeah it's enforced and enforceable so okay again these were first readings of these policies would it be helpful at the work
session to ask as well some of the cuz each principal has a leadership team of teachers just to yeah I think so to get feedback and it'd be the time to do it session we
can have open discussion y I think you know open discussion is good I think everyone has you know today's day and age with cell phones you know for bullying and and just the capabilities of
them a goal should be to get cell phones under con under control yeah to the extent that we can exactly and to be consistent from one room to out right make that note to some leadership team
members yeah good good with the first reading of these policies okay moving on number 10 action items 10.1 resolution accepting donations to high school

contract agreement with um Tah foods and they had vetted through the process and we we um did a complete vetting of the different bids that were received they were the best bid for us financially and based upon the criteria that we had so
we received a contract there were very few changes that are allowed because it's a contract that comes from the state department of education but we did run it through pton just to make certain that um The District's interests were covered and one of the things that
um was brought forward was a suggestion on Indemnity if there was somebody from their organization that fell and got hurt in the kitchen or cut off a finger that it didn't impact the school district that it was on them as the provider so we have that clause in an
mou and then equally we have a termination agreement um which we didn't have before so this allows us if there's a some sort of a termination agreement if for one reason or another that things aren't going way that we anticipate they will we have a termination Clause so
theou talks about the termination clause and then the contract itself um again I think you've seen that so those are the things that that were brought forward and recommending that we move forward with it and Todd are already they're they're good yep yep they they in fact when I brought this to them they said

10.11 approved 2425 literacy plan this is an annual requirement that we have you notice that by June 15th each year we're we're required to submit a plan and ours is with the aster that
it's pending board approval um as you can see at the top of the list and I know that this is something that Jennifer and Lisa P spend a considerable amount of time going over over um tying it back to what we're doing and the requirements that we have for Universal
screening which is part of the read act that there's screenings three times a year um and then parent notification of when those screening results are shared with parents um what we're doing with core instruction for reading again tying it back to the read act and then the
multi-tiered systems of supports mtss that's what that stands for um in other words what are we doing for interventions and processes for intervention and then we had to incorporate things for professional development in the plan as well so um it's all Incorporated here ready for
board approval and consideration and we are required to publish this to the district website and excuse me report a link back to the Department of Education I don't know if you had anything else you wanted to add Jennifer comment [Applause]
on any questions or discussion I get a motion to approve it's mov thank have a motion in a second all those in favor the same sign motion passes 10.12 approved fiscal year 25 budget and
it looks like Jackie is going to be handing some things out you call this this was vetted through the uh the finance subcommittee of the board and they're probably all in my
bag the other meeting eask okay so we had a budget meeting I don't last last week last week sure last week Tuesday Tuesday Tu I think it was Tuesday yeah okay so anyway so we went
over that then and this is the same format I use every year so projecting a $1.5 million loss in the general fund this is a budget I'll revise everything in January and February it's conservative estimate I mean I think we all knew we were going to be in this
situation with I mean we 1 2 3 4 or we hired five new positions we retain the six positions that we don't have C funding for anymore and then with the salary increases so it doesn't surprise
me then the next page would be all your revenue and please everyone look at this closely if you see something odd or whatever I'll go back and do the research because I'm not saying that I haven't made an error I don't think I have but go ahead and look
at it and please ask questions so this first page is a revenue basis comparing the revised budget for this year to the new budget for this year and then the differences and I go through this and I look at them and if there's anything large I make sense out of it and not
then I go back and say well maybe I mess something up and the next two pages are the general fund the expenditures and Jackie this is projecting a decline in student enroll moment students small it's a small
decline so that's reflected obviously in the per pupil count of the revenue side yeah and like I said if anyone wants more detail I got three binders po if anyone wants to come into my office and I can I'd be more than happy to sit down with anyone just in the conservative
approach to budgeting that Jackie does which I think is great because it it positions us really well we know we have our fund balance but we also have a contingency plan in place as you'll see on the last page of the expenditures of $100,000 so again that just gives us
some options if indeed we run under a situation so and when I did hand out at the budget meaning I I did an analysis to see where we would be as far as our fun melons percentage that was established by the board so I do have that and you're looking at your estimate upon estimate we we were still like at
24.6 that would be the worst case scenario and the fund balance policy established by the board is between 25 and 34% so you should still be within the fund balance policy if if this year ends up being the worst case scenario and next year ends up being the worst
case scenario which it's not going to like you show I like your optimism you know want one question Jackie because I went through a few of these with you now yeah I don't I don't remember what what was the projected deficit last
year for this year like this time of year last year when you handed these out you remember when where you started was it like a oh I I don't know are you talking about fiscal year 23 cuz that's the only that's the only year right now we have
any actual for you know what I mean yeah but no I guess was where I started in July when I revised it it was only about $100,000 difference I think it went from
440 to 500 something right this year if you can work your magic and end up with that small of an amount with all the teacher adding you're going to be yeah that was it there it is y and then the
revised one was um well you're going to have to do your map I can tell you Revis one was revised was A5 21778 so not that big a difference here and then where we end up with
actual is right right and and then where we're running so like when you earlier you shared you know we're at 84% and last year we were 8 so we're running under right comp prior
year Y and we should be okay special ed revenue is always a big right but I I've always gone the youbody conservative on that too it's never gone the other way right
so but keep working your magic any um any questions for Jackie and like I said if anyone wants I I am a pretty good educator if I actually do it if I sit down and try but any willing pupils I
have we're R to the S call short called she does pretty good though honestly she she does she's been great she's been great on that note can I get a motion to approve your budget you want to look at the other ones sure you guys
I impress oh Jak go ahead next one is high school activities and this is just a fund like for each individual this is basically they spend and then I mean they can't they can't going into a deficit anyway it's just an in and- out
thing there's the detail of all the activity accounts we have food service fund that's showing a less deficit or less of a revenue increase which is good I I sent them a little letter trying to justify our large fund balance
that they haven't gotten back to me so I may have swt it under your here basically saying that we're going through a different type of contract also so it cost us more so I think we really had no way in prior to this time
time to spend it down yeah and and the other nice thing this last legislative session they passed that we can utilize um fund reserves in the food service to buy like food service tables and some of that furniture that goes
along with the Child Nutrition Services where before it was just the kitchen equipment itself but now you can do some of that like cafeteria cafeteria tables benches yeah cafeteria benches y so we have some flexibil and I know we talked
about this last year at the school board convention where we have some of the little delamination going on with some of the um surfaces of the cafeteria tables so if we need to update some of those we have some options to do that yep yeah I'm sure imagine that
yeah I'm sure so basically I did the same thing with the food surface I'm comparing the 24 budget 24 revised budget to the 25 budget and everything looked okay then when I went through the
numbers I was looking at to's proposal they were pretty much close on everything so it should be fine Community ad okay so this is just basically the community ed programs have to go in and out to like if a teacher decides that they want a program they basically will get paid
for what they bring in and drivers that goes through Community ad and then you would have you get a little bit of a levy which covers then the director's fees and then we donate money to the after school program to the summer rec
programs to the city of P so we've done that every year since I've been here [Applause] [Applause] any questions on that okay the next one is also part of the community at umbrella but it's our preschool
program this is showing projected expenditures over revenue of 76,000 however we have not found out onar prek yet because I guess I stay no don't say it Jackie okay anyway so what we do voluntary pre this will not be a
deficit if we get the voluntary prek which I don't have any reason to believe why we would they added over 5,000 seats so but I can't put that in here because we were always on the right on the edge all the time yeah cuz I have not been notified yet that we have received it so
therefore it's not in here so well that's what we were told when I emailed them in may they June so August know but I don't know when we'll find out okay but then this will be revised in January or February
so I don't know why we won't get it the next one is Early Childhood family education which we have a large Surplus in next on building construction fund and this basically I just went through we have the resurfacing of the track on here and then the roof replacement and
then intering now and I kind of went through the crial timeline that gave us the last whenever they gave us the last one and these are estimates obviously that's what that is next one is Debt Service this is an easy one
basically you're able to Levy for your debt and that break [Applause] people there any questions if you think of any questions later email me let me
[Applause] know is very good can anybody have any questions for Jackie I have anything to add no just the only thing I would say is the co positions that that Jackie reference you
saw that list early on and I couldn't imagine how we could run the school district if we didn't reinstate those positions so um it's just a reality that those those needed to be baked back into the general fund according that's what we have and um obviously we're going to
keep a close eye on everything because it's it's a big deal and I know that we've grown our fund balance over the last several years this will take it down a little bit but I think uh again it's all part of the stabilization after we come out of the co releas funds that
we received so and then once the audit is done for this year I mean by the end of November we all know how we actually turn out so then we'll actually have another piece of information that's factual and actual and not an AS so that you'll have yeah have a better idea where we're
going to land right can I get a motion to approve the budget second I have a motion in a second all those in favor signify by saying I I same sign motion passes
10.13 consider approval of solar field partnership with s Val so um we did kind of a committee of the whole at the last meeting that we had with suali coming and presenting and
this grant um that they've applied for to help fund the project um really means no expense out of the district's pocket um we've asked questions about maintenance we've asked questions about Insurance we've asked questions about Safety and Security um to ensure that
that the site is protected we've been told that they're going to fence it um it's it's going to generate um Al be at a small amount some energy that will go over to the school district and support us it's really a benefit for the
electrical company as well in terms of trying to increase their green footprint and it ties into the old infrastructure that we had from the commissioned wind turban that was installed several years ago you know the question had come up earlier too about the placement location
um in that committee meeting when the board met kind of a work session of the whole um we were quite insistent that it not be at the front entrance that back away out of kind of the sight lines of the school so that's been um agreed upon
as well so really it's uh pending our action moving forward and signing the documents this evening that we would initiate the process um and it sounds like it would be a a 20year um term with the with the
agreement that we have in front of us and anticipation of operations would start as early as November one of this year so um they would initiate the process relatively soon again pending action side of the board do you remember
if they ever told us what was underneath them is it Rock underneath them is it grass is it I don't Rec call that that's a good question I thought about that afterwards if we're you know are we going to have to mow okay yeah it does look like there's Rock that's what I was wondering about mowing and and Main you know like around
it and is it going to cause any snow issues shouldn't cause any snow issues especially where it we seated it's not going to blow like a make a big should help stop stop the
so I guess I had one question um number six on the maintenance in theou yeah oh in the okay out to so it says we provide the annual maintenance inspection of the solar generation maintenance cost will be paid
by Pas not by P it should be SV well that's y good yeah good catch yeah I didn't see that either there's another spot up where it talks about um the payment so it it lists out the 50% Grant
35% um once it commences and then the where where you at Tyler sorry number three number three on okay yep um so it sounds like to me are we going to have to foot that bill or the half of it
through stages then so 50% I thought my understanding was that we would pay it and they would re burps right that yes because it was Zero cost in the district but I but that's what I how I how long are we holding those dollars together for
them I don't but I don't know the answer to that question I can't see that yeah I guess I'd like that clarify too yeah I don't think there's any reason that cuz from the understanding when when they're going through the
presentation and I cannot for life of me find where I had noted but I thought I had gone through calculation of it and then making what a couple thousand dollar a year is all yeah it was very and so it's like what's the risk to is yeah is this worthwh well and I'm really
hesitant about it just because the whole windmill thing very hesitant about it myself meaning well it cost a lot of money for us to get rid of that Windmill and there was a lot of and there was I mean I just felt like that was supposed to be this but
actually we actually came on the head out di the wind paid very well yeah and we never had ear Years first contract y it was a grant from XL energ we never had to pay anything to build that window right and then we were getting back we
were saving like between 78 and $84,000 a year on our electric cost yeah that thing came so initially it was good you came in on the B end of it the problem problem came no but that's that is valuable
dat there was two there was two problems with the windmill one was a contract expired and the new contract was going to be like a percentage of what the original was you're talking about the maintenance on it I'm talking about what they were return the reimbursement was
going to majorly drop right and then the bearing went out and and then we don't get a maintenance contract anymore that was any up at first it was really good and then it just I just wish some of that information would have been out there when we were taking it
down our what it had generated over yeah I feel like that would have been good information to have all I could I could print that report off now even it would take no time at all it doesn't matter Jackie I've already taken the darn it no CU I have all that I have it all quoted to one quote I could go back from
the beginning of when it no I just you know was yeah yeah at the end spitballing it was going to be like an $80,000 repair and the payback was going to be like $112,000 that's right yeah and and and and the and the $80,000 repair was only one item to repair on an
old window What's going to be next mhm but initially it was it was really good but what did it cost us to take it down wasn't it like Grand yeah I was going to say it was not a small but the over the years it it was positive we still came out we still came but if you don't know those if you're not public in those
numbers it's hard for the community to understand which this this I mean I would I would be 100% in favor of this if there was nothing upfront there was nothing maintenance that maintenance cost and there was nothing there was
nothing at the end when they need to go away and that was the intent that in their presentation that's what they said so I I'm surprised to see this maintenance will be paid by Pas so I would recommend defer action on this till we get that Veri because well then check on Tyler's question I I think how
long have we stuck holding 50% of the for we reimbursed I can't imagine be very long but at the same time it's you want to document the% interest a couple months
years no money even at hardly no return when we got put that's well I thought they were going to put a fence around it on okay but then like how do you that's that was my question how do you mow around it how do you are we going to be trimming out there around it
is it going to have rocks to the edge of the fence I mean yeah but that's cuz that's going to be a issue for our maintenance part you know so I kind of think that that should be [Music] asked I just I would take action to defer
action motion to defer pess for number three payment number six M yep okay you planning going back to him yep
absolutely we can do that at the session so I do I would take a action to defer tonight and then we can revisit at a later date move to defer action until a later date due to unknowns on payments and maintenance
second I have a motion and a second to defer this to a later date all those in favor signify by saying I CL same sign motion passes number 11 adjournment so
move second I have a motion in a second to adjourn no want all those in favor signify by saying I I all the same sign we're adjourn
