It's 6:30. I call this regular meeting to order. Please aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Good evening fellow school board members, district staff and community members. As a reminder to us all, the mission of St. B school to equip all students with the knowledge and skills to empower them to achieve their dreams and full potential while possible citizens in a world. We have one board member not present tonight. Our first item for tonight's agenda is number two, adoption of agenda. Are there any questions prior to a motion being made on the agenda before? No question. Is there a call motion for the approval of the August 24, 2026 meeting? Is there a second? Any discussion on the motion? >> Any discussion? >> No discussion. All in favor signify by saying I and raising your hand. >> I motion prevails 6 to zero. Thank you. Agenda item three, consideration of visitor. We have no considerations of visitors tonight. Standing. No one is here. So we are good. We will move on to the next agenda item which is number four consent agenda. We have two items currently on tonight's consent agenda. This will be a roll call vote. Any questions or requests to remove an item prior to a motion being made? No question. Is there a call to motion to approve the consent? Is there a second? Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Jonah. Any discussion on that motion? Seeing no discussion against the roll call. If you are approved, signify by saying I. to oppose n >> I >> Mr. Sh >> I miss >> hi >> Mr. working >> I >> and I am I as well motion prevails six to zero. All right as we move forward in information items and reports again try to hold your questions to the end. We do have a detailed report coming up today. There are three reports this evening. The first one is the first readings of policies 402 423 509 521 5.4 613 621 709 721 and 722 Mr. Nelson is here to answer a question as well as members of our policy committee. If there's any discussion needed, now is the time. Any questions? Thank you, Mr. Agenda item two, facilities update. Chris will update us on multiple items across the district. Uh this update relates to a couple meeting Chris. Would you also introduce? >> Absolutely. Uh with me tonight is Michael. He's our financial adviser for PM. One of the smartest guys I know. That's a shot of Mr. Mr. one of our language art teachers. Pretty intelligent guy. Mike takes um he is the expert on all things financial and when you have questions about money or this or that. I'm just going to shut up. So that's how we're going to tag team. You can feel free to voting or fast. Yeah. >> Um Vanessa, can I run that from here or do you want to >> I'll just do it if that's okay with you? >> Yeah. uh today, tomorrow, the next few months. So, updates on on facilities across the district. Um I think was the last meeting that we were at and there were some questions about the stadium field. Um and you know, the last question I feel I think was from Jake and he said, "Is it you know, can we play you what's the status?" And the same answer is true today as it was then. Yes, it's playable. Um unfortunately, or fortunately, we've had throughout the summer. So rain has dependent an issue if we were to get a monster rainfall. I I can't promise that the field is going to be viable. Um and that won't happen, but that's one of the things we're talk about. Water patches east and cedar creek are another thing area of of discussion tonight. Uh high school tennis courts and to some extent middle school tennis courts and then um taxing the parking lot because well that next slide. So, here's where we're at today, tomorrow, the next few months. Um, on this on this uh sheet, we're missing two of the dry wells on the east end. They were on one document, whatever. There are 14 in the field and there are three outside of the stadium in the driveway. And so, um, the field's one issue, the drive lane's a separate issue. We might try to tackle them at the same time. Um, but right now they really are two separate systems, if you will. And so one of the things with the stadium is we're going in at some point after the season's over and we're going to have to remediate. Um, again, it could it could fail at any point, but we'll see what the fall brings for rain and weather. Um, we need new drainage system out there. Uh, this track surface was scheduled to be replaced this summer. we had to pause that because we're not going to invest all the money in the track, right, to build a solid not solid foundation. Um, and so until we get the drainage, the track is going to have to wait um and then get back to a usable condition. And you know, we're going to have to make some decisions on what we're going to do forward. We have talked about is the field going to stay grass? Do we look at artificial turf? Do we, you know, what what do we do? Because what we do for drainage impacts that decision, right? Um, currently that field's used uh for 24 home contests a year. That's all it's used for. We do have some science classes that go out there time track is used by fire, but as a general rule of thumb by us on the grass field because we can't keep grass growing in the same kind of sit. So that's where that conversation is. Next slide. in order to fix really what's there. Um, underwater underground water retention and trench drains is what the current plan or thought is, right? Um, we get rid of the manholes because we go a trench drain system. Uh, we can actually make the soccer field wider. Right now, the soccer field is the smallest thing according to state bylaws and soccer bylaws. Um and so making that wider would would you know right now it's it's a home field advantage when teams come to play us because a it's grass not many people have grass anymore and b it's the smallest field they can get but it's not a home field depending on the state tournament and then we all of a sudden go to a huge field with spacing is totally different but any um we're exploring the cost per use differential between grass artificial turf like I said if we're only using it 24 times a year the cost per use is pretty high when you figure in mowing leasing mowers paint, fertilizer, irrigation work, irration, over seeding, all of that comes into play. Um, and the impact of what artificials are putting both financially and um, you know, from a usage standpoint classes would be out there, you know, couple two, three times a day, uh, fall and spring, probably in the winter, too, because we play snow football and some soccer activities classes. Um but we're working on on all of that. Once that's taken care of and we have a plan and the work's done, uh we can go in and then resurface the track. Um the track was done in 20 2018 and so we put on um kind of a lowle surface at that point. There's cracking in it right now and there's pieces that are that are peeling. So again, we need to get this subsurface done before. Uh we're estimating right now that if we did artificial turf on a trench drain system and the track that we're somewhere in the $5 million range. Um and then the previous conversations with Michael that impact is about $4 a month for a new home in St. Francis. Next slide. We also have water uh East and Cedar Creek. So City East successfully passed the state bonding bill and they have they're in phase one of it. They got a million dollars this year. um they reference us as a key driver for the work in the bill and that's us hooking up the city water consider right um I think we've talked before about the wells that are over there and some of the water issues if you've been on the board for some time remember a few years ago kiddo came home with a water bottle and mom said where did you get that water I said you clean water every day and the water was burky probably there were there were tannins in the in the water so we remedied that with um additional water softening and some other things But we've had some water issues and so this would provide, you know, um treated city water for that. We also have a a sewer connection cuz you know when you're bringing in water, you might as well bring in um public sewers as well. Cedar Creek has a mountain system just south of the building and that mountain system is due for inspection in January. Our septic vendor has told us that that system is going to fail when when we have an inspection and he gave us a nice uh really wide window of what that could cost us. So he said anywhere from 100,000 to over depending how the inspection goes and we won't know. Um I did convert uh um have some conversations on the back end like what will the state do? They're not they can't shut us down they you know. So I've done some exploratory digging there and they can't. We would just have to pump it more often until we have a solution ready. These costs cannot be avoided. Um they could be paid for through capital LTFM bonding. Um both of which would hurt our operating needs because that's those are big dollar amounts. Um, and we would have the option of tying into LCFM health and safety if we were to add fire suppression system sprinklers if you will to Cedar Creek. Cedar Creek doesn't have it that present. East Bethle does. Um, but we don't have the funding for that that level of a project. That would be fun. We expect the water connection and sewer connections to be completed somewhere in the summer. So, it's coming. rather than use restricted funds from LTF capital or you uh we could use LTF on health and safety life system life systems funding similar to what we did with the IP budget adding sprinklers to Cedar Creek and accessing new water connection connecting east sprinklers or fire suppression to the new water connection to expected budget including access charges about 500. We are intentionally waiting for bids to come back on the IP project. Um surplus funds from that project could be transferred to this project minimize minimalizing any potential tax. So we could use some of the dollars that are already authorized decision point. After bids are received in November, we need to solidify funding options for what we're so part of this is just getting this on your plate so you can start processing it too because come October, November, we're have to we're have to make some decisions. Um, tennis courts project is well underway. Uh, we expect the completion to be the end of September. If you've been by there, um, you'll know that they they can't put a second layer of asphalt on the day. Um, once that's done, they'll come and pave the concrete spectator strip in the middle and then fences can go back up. The trouble with this project, not trouble, but asphalt means 30 days a year so that the oils can come out of it. Right. We put paint fence paint on oil towards the instead. So, there's a 30 minimum 30-day cure time depending on the weather. Ray is actually good for that. So, hopefully we get some um but our original funding was to use operating capital and that's about $600,000. What we're going to talk about today and and what Michael can expound on a little bit more than I uh is authorizing to move this funding to a lease funding mechanism would save us the 600,000 that we could use for other projects that that cannot be funded in other ways. The tax impact as I understand it from Mr. Hart is 50 cents a month. So $6. Um before you tonight I think at the end is going to be a reimbursement resolution which will allow us to repay ourselves from the original money that you spent on right so it authorizes basically an internal transfer from one funding mechanism to talk a little more about that. So I'll start with every investment reimbursement piece. In order to use tax financing, we're talking about for any of these which allows you to get a lower interest rate. They there are IRS regulations that we have to deal with and the IRS does not allow you to or want you to spend money and then decide years later that you're going to go back and borrow for it. So you have to state your express intent as a school board to borrow for that in the future. So what you have in front of you is is two separate reimbursement resolutions for different parts of this that both accomplish the same purpose. They're just separated from different projects. One of those is related to the tennis court project because that's underway right now. We can take from the date of your action which would be today. proceed forward and book that 60 days and any expenditure that you have on that project going forward. It will allow us to um to pay yourself back when the funding is received through financing. What it really buys you as you stand today is some more time because you know we've identified a long list of projects here and there's a lot of puzzle pieces to fit together. The largest of which is the indoor air quality project that was approved by the school a little bit more than a year ago. And and as those bids come in, it's a large piece in the puzzle in order how these things fit together. We want we want to make sure they fit together in a way that makes sense is you know respectful of the the resources your community provides you and also you know maximize opportunities. When we talk about this tennis court and also the field and the track, we're using or we're discussing using a funding method called lease light, which is limited in total amount to $212 per unit. We've only been using a small small portion of that capacity in recent years as a school district. So as we evaluated that you could pay for these two really the drainage, the tennis courts, the the field and the track all within the lease lighting. They're all set to be when we talk about the tax impact this year. We're assuming a 10-year data on these. Now like on the IAQ project, we're talking about a 20-year payback. If you did the the the sprinkler and water connection project, you probably look at a longer payback on that than 10 years. When we're talking about track, tennis courts, turf fields, we want to make we're very conscious of the fact that we don't get the financing to extend beyond a reasonable expected use for life of those projects. And so the lease levy would be an added levy so that it's a tax increase above where you are, but it's a board approved levy that you have not utilized as a school board thus far. The intention of it is that it is primarily uh the purpose of it needs to be for instructional space within the school district. And so when we're talking about athletic facilities here, it's important that we identify what they're being used for, you know, fire classes or, you know, other educational space. And I think that's part of the reason the artificial turf is being explored is that that would only expand the ability for it to be more instructional space instead of more weight. But that's the the the funding mechanism which hasn't been used. It is limited though in terms of this would use the vast majority of the capacity that the school district has available for the next period of time. um as you think about other things that you have in front of you, it is one of the tools that you have for for board approval, but there it it would mean that it wouldn't be available for other potential needs for some period of time. Okay, next slide, please. Um parking lots. So, there's several layers to the parking lot discussion. One is the parking lot at the upper field, the sports complex. um significant delays uh we ran into due to the the wetland that's up there. Um I didn't know if that was a wetland. It's actually looks like just a sitting in the middle of the woods. But we passed the Army Corps of Engineers. We passed the the state um several agencies in the state. So we finally got our permits. We expect work to start, tree removal to start up there because we have to clean up that pond quite a bit for the weather. Um, we expect that to start October 31st with tree removal, which means uh the project was supposed to be completed last summer and we just start. It's a two-month project. Um, because of that, we're juggling where to put kids all over the place, where to put games. We are going to use uh our stadium, high school stadium in a manner that it hasn't been used since I've been here. um in part because of necessity, in part because we're going to tear up something in there and do something with it. So, um we'll do that and we'll also shift to the middle school. Why this is a topic of conversation for us today is the the bids all came back at about $400 and some thousand more than what we waited at the tax for. And so, the second point would be uh another reimbursement resolution for that. And um and I'll let Michael talk about that soon. But um we've also so that's one piece. We've also talked about pick up a drop off as a key priority. So over at Cedar Creek, it makes sense if we're going to tear up the street or the city's going to tear up the street and put water and sewer in there that we would ask the city for some turn lanes or some help with our parent pick up. Um those parking lots are also old. We presented that to the board before and you know how we tackle that has been tax statement for those projects but that would be another layer and we're not ready for a design. We don't know what all that looks like but the task force has identified that last year. Um we're well aware of that being an issue. Buses getting in and out kids parents in car accidents all over the place or near fire accidents. Um we won't do any of that until after the IQ project's finished. excuse the middle school as I high school require it but not until IQ's finished because we're going to be putting cranes in the parking lots hoisting up huge rooftops there's no sense of doing a parking lot that have crit so so that's like but it causes some complication because of those three dry wells that are in the driveway between the school that are currently fit um we have a cone sitting over the one area that's that is right now I'm sure you've seen it been by the high school um drive Please. So, that's another thing. 2026 parking lot, that's where we talked about additional funding. Um, and then East Cedar Creek, if we can do that at the same time where they're ripping up the streets, that will make a lot of sense. That's planned for summer 28. As I said earlier, there's no decision required at this time. We won't have a clear path forward. I'm just presenting this information to you so it's out there as well. Do you want to talk a little bit about the second reimbursement resolution? >> Yeah. So, same concept. the project's going to begin soon on this wetland piece. We want to make sure that you have the authority to go out and build water similar to what we did last year with the tax dating piece and the proposal or the plan. The idea there at this time is that each of these pieces will become more clear in the next few months in terms of how they fit together and we expect to present to you a more full plan in conjunction with the final bids on our IQ project. How this fits together with that to proceed forward. We do um if you remember we had financed IQ project. It was about $36 million. It was authorized from a budget standpoint. We financed about the first third of that with the bond issue that was sold last year as well as the tax evading piece. So we still have more than $22 million left to borrow as a school district. And that was important. We established it that way so that when we come back we're borrowing the right amount of money and it's based upon construction bids, not construction estimates because that's you know those are different things. And so once we have bids in hand, we'll still have some contingency built in there but we'll have a lower fine number. we can fit it together with these other pieces, but we need to at least declare the intent that we plan to borrow for this in the future. This that being said, this doesn't tie the board's hands to do to to borrow for this in any particular way. Once you spend the money, you have spent the money, of course, and you you need to find a way to pay yourself back. But the other thing kind of stepping back to the tennis court piece and this as we put all this stuff on the table and having conversations, we thought it was important that the board maintain options and flexibility to the extent that you can. you have limited resources and there's only certain things that you can access um without going you know to a broader bulk of your public which is a whole different uh that requires a whole different timeline and process and this maintains the access that we have to these funding sources the best we can me mention with the tennis court piece when you look at the two resolutions you're also authorizing us to submit an application to MDE to get that tennis court piece into the tax levy that you receive next month. Now, it's a fairly small amount. It's $600,000 paid over 10 years. Uh you know, Chris had referenced. It's about $5 per year on average. So, it's this is not going to be a a major major differencemaker, but it is a change for Mina Bay. And we because that project is underway, we thought it was important to get that submitted. It's actually that these ley application is actually due today and so we have prepared it. I work with Don to prepare that and so we have it ready to submit upon the approval to get that in so that we can have it within the preliminary September tax. all of the rest of this stuff. If it does change taxes, property taxes, it would not be for taxes in 2027, but rather for taxes a year later at the order, depending upon how the board proceeds forward with things. One other note kind of on that that front as you think about the the broader picture is that when we there was some discussion about how do we approach the tax levy with the indoor air quality project and there was a pretty significant tax increase on your your community related to that. That was fully put in place assuming that we borrowed all 36 plus million dollars on the budget for that. And so the first year's payment was kind of a full payment on that first bond issue. And the second year it we don't expect it to increase again related to that particular project. But we also haven't sold the second set of bonds which gives us some flexibility in terms of how we fit things with what you currently have. What I'm saying here is we have some options and what we're trying to do, you know, as an advisor to you and as these pieces come together is maintain flexibility to do all to to put a plan in front of you that makes sense as the details become more clear knowing that you have you've got some big things to accomplish. And a lot of these things are not things that you can wait on just as you as you look. There's a few things in in here once you've heard that you you genuinely can wait on, but there's some there's some pretty high priority stuff. So um the action tonight is to maintain flexibility to give you options. This lease levy needs to go in the application does so that it can be under next month. If the board changes a time between now and December, you can still do that. So you could go back to the the the preliminary funding source for this project was originally going to be your operating capital which is a part of your general fund as a school district that gives that you can spend this kind of money on. You were also planning to pay for the track that way this summer. Our evaluation of it is that you have a lot of demands on that particular money and in the places where you can't access other money you should consider that you put together a broader plan. So, I know there's still there's still still some pretty important big questions unanswered tonight, but I think our goal is to make to keep the flexibility and, you know, be transparent about where we're at in the process and let you know that there's going to be more coming here as we put the details together. And that was the one word that I was going to add. You said it was transparency. We want we want to lay this out so that you have all the information that we have right now about what's going on. um pieces aren't all in place. We don't have all the plans laid out or all the options laid out. It takes time to engineer some of this stuff. It takes time to to get different perspectives and so we're we're doing the due diligence on the back end, but felt like it was a really good opportunity for us to make sure we're all on the same page with with kind of the issues we address. So, next slide. So uh today we're going to uh look at reimbursement resolution for the tennis courts and lease levy authority for the tennis courts. In the future we're going to evaluate what does it look like to use lease levy for the transitions of track at the field. um what is what does it look like for IQ water connection projects for superst and what does tax look like for um looking to 2027 for the next stage of support so that's it all right thank you any questions Mr. You said we would be if we did all this we'd be basically maxing out at least 11. Do you know any history on that? Like how often it's increased or were we ever maxed out? at least the last several years the district has not utilized and so I could do some research on going back before that but it goes back to the last month 20 20 month there was an intentional effort by our business owners business office at that time to not pull that funding mechanism to use that lever because of the the fun massive projects that So prior to that, >> yeah, how often does a state actually question do they increase that number? >> It has not happened for quite some time. So it's been a $212 per pupil for at least the last 15 years and I could look again. I can look beyond that. And so it is dependent upon pupil counts. pupil counts change for school district the total amount that you're allowed to live changes as well. So in the 10 years it would be possible. >> Yeah, I think that's I mean it's certainly possible. We're not build a plan for you. >> One clarifying this does not max out for these budget for the district. It just increases it to a higher it doesn't put it at 21 >> for the 10. If you do just the tennis courts, no, you're nowhere near the max. Now, once you start to to put in another $5 million on top of that, if you proceed with that, and that's looking at the track and field, there's, you know, there's a lot of design things that are on your questionnaire and that $5 million certainly can change. There's more details to know about that. At that point you would be your max. >> Yeah. So you're you're you're taking out it's a it's a borrowing a bond that you call it's really we call it a lease but it's the same concept and that you have a 10 year and so you have those payments for 10 years and those payments are sized such that there's not there will be minimum capacity against that and then what are some of the other things that this can That's a great question. >> The most common thing that this is used for outside of athletic fields like we're talking about a lot of sports. These are very common uses of this particular source, but it's to put additions on so far capacity. Many districts have used it for early childhood, additional classrooms. Um, you know, it's in most cases, I've been answered the question many times, you can put a gym on. it's not enough money for a gym a lot of times, you know, it's kind of on that that limitation, but that is the you cannot build a new building with it. Um but you can put it class the most common that I've seen. Yeah, we're using we're working with it's $5 on 385,000, $6 and 400,000 and we actually part of the discussion we had as a team about this. I mean, one thing that was is a characteristic of your school district is you have a pretty wide range of and so of course you some taxpayers will be pay less than that, but if you're at a $200,000 house, it's $3 per year. If you're at a $600,000 house, it's $9 per year. Okay. So that would range and it doesn't work exactly linearly like you couldn't double the 600,000 let's say at a 1.29 too many because you have some very nice properties, residential properties in your school district. It wouldn't be exactly $18. It's probably more like 20 because the way that the tax system works and once your home is over $500,000 on residential property, uh your taxes are escalated a little bit for every dollar above 500,000. We talk a little bit about the rating, our credit rating, our bond rating of that. Um, how is this going to affect now because we're getting closer and closer to maxing out? >> Yeah, it's a good question. This is not a big enough change in the amount of debt that you have outstanding to, in my opinion, to significantly your value rating. And what they're looking at um on a bond rating, you know, if you borrowed $100 million anymore, that would be a material change. But when you borrow $5 million or, you know,5 to $10 million, it's not going to be a massive change in terms of the overall. The bigger thing that impacts your bond rating is the trajectory of your general fund balance. Uh it's particularly around general fund balance. Yeah. The the by far the most important thing that is in control of the people in this room on your bond rating is your fund balance particularly your 1% fund balance. Now when I say there's in control with a bond rating there's generally two buckets of items. There's the things that you can do administratively, governance wise that matter. And then there's other things that they reach you on that you have basically no control over as a school board. That's things like how much commercial property values in your school district, how much the people who live in your school district make in income. Now, you can affect that maybe on the margin over 40 years or 30 years by having a good solid education for and maybe in a community that's desirable to live. But day-to-day governance management of the school district isn't going to broadly affect the incomes of the people in our school district. And so in some ways it's not there's there's some unfairness to the system. Just um but so when you think about what we can talk about we can look at this how Any question? >> No, thank you for the presentation. It was really well done. >> Yeah, thank you both for your time and effort. I know that this is an ever evolving situation. Um, I know that admin has taken a concerted effort to keep us up to date. So, that's why you're seeing it so often in board meetings to continue because this is changing every single day. There's something else that's popping out that we're looking at. So it was very important to get this update tonight of board action. I think you all understand why we need to take action tonight if we want to use those levers. there's guidelines that we need to follow as well as you know that six windows as well for some of the loan that we already so thank you both for preparing and being ready for this tonight and doesn't and if we have discussion during action item I will call on you help us thank you moving on to the 5.3 admin reports Anderson will update us on a few items. He told me it should not go more than 36 minutes. >> That's right. I'll do my best. The uh only two items that I'll focus on are the unfilled positions. You can see that we currently have about 40 unfilled positions and you can see a list of positions that are currently available. At least that was the number late last week. It changes every day. And in particular with unfilled positions, we have often now uh some late resignations in the summer because employees I believe mistakenly believe that uh they could lose unemployment if they you know resigned earlier. Um so you know we do get late resignations uh during the summer and of course we're hiring all the time. So it really goes up and down. And you can see a list of the measures that Mr. Nelson has taken along with others to appeal to more and more people to apply in a great school district. So uh we made some inroads and um but we still have a a ways to go obviously. And finally, retention rates. 91% again as of last week were retained for the upcoming school year uh compared to 87% the previous year. Both those numbers are within a typical range uh for a public school district in Minnesota at least according to the sources that we looked at uh through uh Gemini AI. Uh but you know they had sources that that seemed credible. So that's where we are right now. >> Put you on the spot. Today we're doing teacher orientation, correct? How many do we have? Approximately 29 today. >> Yes. >> Hallelu excited for HR. Easy. >> All right. Any questions or comments for superintendent? >> All right. See none. All right. We are moving on to our two action items for tonight. Again, with action items board member second chance to talk. Our first one tonight is 6.1 approval of lease levy and reimbursement resolution. So this one I'm just going to read a portion of it. I know you guys have it in the board packet. It's a lot longer than this, but the district proposed to take the project and make original expenditures with respect to such project prior to the issuance of the lease and the certificates there in if any reason expects to issue the release and certificates there in if any to find that such project in the maximum amount of $600,000. This is a resolution and will require a roll call vote. Do we need a motion to approve the resolution for lease and reimbursement? Are there any questions prior to the motion being made? >> Just to be clear, this has been increased property taxes. >> Is there a call motion for approval of the resolution as a second? >> Second. Thank you Mr. Any discussion on the motion. >> So this will increase taxes but this is this vote won't do it in general that vote comes in December right? >> Yes the statement is is accurate. This gives us the giving administration the authority to submit an application to the state so that it will be show up within that part of the covenant property tax in September. The final vote on this would happen in December. scoreboard, click it, remove it between this glex issues. It's not actually right now, >> right? >> And just for clarity, because of all of the visual, we're talking about the $600,000 scores, which is $5 per year on the community district. So this $600,000 if you didn't $600,000 how many teachers does those are restricted dollars. If the board interruption, if the board chooses to steer away from this in December, we would continue to finance that throughout. >> And if I could just add, operating capital would include items like technology, curriculum, and buses. Those are some examples. One more thing on that are we have the last two years buses have absorbed most of our operating capital. So there are some things um in buildings um that are LTFM and operating capital that we utilize those dollars for along the buses. So it is a very highly anticipated funding. I think that by the way >> yeah I mean our drainage at the stadium is prime example put in 74 utilizing um LTF dollars for that um but again we also have um a bond that we're paying that colleagues turn 31. So we get we get a portion of LTFM. So we only supplement operating capital. >> Can I just expand on that? Um we put new roofs on some time ago and the lever we used at that point was to bond against. So our actual a lotment that we currently have to use to pull our own levers is much smaller because of the roofs. And so we've, you know, we're it's like pulling sled up a hill all the time. >> And LTFM stands for long-term facilities maintenance. So it's it's used for repairing items essentially in the district. >> Any other discussion? Mr. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the board initially approved the operating capital for these projects, we did not have the drainage situation. We did not have the water connection possibility that was approved. Oh, the uh the parking lot that is a thing we did that has given us that flexibility that we can use. Okay. Motion on the table is to approve uh the resolution for learning and reimbursement. We have a motion and a second. The discussion is complete. This will be a roll call vote. I appro >> I miss Anderson. >> Hi >> M. >> Hi >> Mr. Working. >> Hi >> Miss West. >> Hi. >> I as well motion prevails. Thank you. Moving on to agenda item 62 reimbursement resolution of the abatement. Uh again the district proposes under projects and to make the original expenditure with respect there is to prior to the issuing of reimbursement obligations and reasonably expects to issue reimbursement obligations for such projects in the maximum which is 600. This is the resolution roll call. Are there any questions? Right. See no questions. Is there a call to motion for approval of the resolution? Is there a second? Second, any discussion on that motion. >> All right. See no discussion. Again, this will be a roll call. I if you are in favor, if you are not, >> Mr. Sh. >> I >> Mr. W. >> No. >> I as well. Motion prevails. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. >> All right. Moving forward, our next agenda item is number seven, upcoming meeting topics. Any questions or comments about topics? probably go ahead and add up to system. >> All right, moving on to the next agenda. Item eight, school board member report. >> Uh I had a facilities meeting of which most of discussed tonight other than that I think this school is in the air. just working. Yeah. School will start teachers seniors one more year to figure it out. That's all I got. Thank you. Jake sent me a four page letter. I need to speak nothing for Jake tonight.
