“What you're really trying to do here is structure the roofing bond so that we can fit up to six 15.65 million and still remain tax neutral related to that debt decrease. And so what you're doing tonight doesn't obligate you to anything, but we're structuring the first bond so that you have space.”

“The goal for today is let's get the roof thing figured out and get that nailed down and structure the bond in such a way that it leaves us some room to address the stuff and so we don't lock ourselves into something that we're not able to do that. So that's the bigger picture.”

“Jackson Associates is the apparent low bidder... they did present a pretty aggressive schedule. The bid documents allowed work to start on anytime after July 1 of 26 and be complete by September 1 of 27. Uh giving them flexibility. Um they intend on completing everything uh by like the end of November of this year.”

“Numbers are slightly higher than what we originally budgeted. Uh during the bid process, uh Mr. Thompson with Garland ordered some infrared scans of the roof and unfortunately we discovered significant amount of wet insulation that has to be replaced though that wasn't included in the original budget amounts. So, but we did confirm when Mr. Thompson I spoke with Jackson uh we did confirm that um they fully accounted for replacing all of it in their in their number.”

“estimated end of year ADM projected to be 1,377, which is down 46 compared to end of year FY26. So in dollars, that's roughly 350,000 in less state aid uh than we had in FY26. So that's a big hit.”

“So probably the first time we've had a deficit presented for approval in a while. Um but with those class or student enrollment dropping at 46 and expenditures continuing to rise, um they've uh kind of crossed paths there in FY27.”

“This was a neat opportunity um uh that Spencer Rogan, our instructor, was able to get another grant through our resource and training as kind of the facilitator. But as you me as it's noted there, the floral design class is a new class that she's offering. And um the hope there is to do more of that floral work where you know we could certainly have some um fresh cut flowers um that could be delivered uh to folks in the community certainly for some of the events that we host here.”

“Uh your wellness policy is not in alignment. So in order to get our our audit passed and through we had to make one very simple adjustment and I'll just pull it up here briefly. Um basically it's really stating who is your wellness coordinator in the district. You can see in green um we we've named the district nurse as the district wellness coordinator. So um uh Miss April Gezinger will be taking on that role.”

“The one key change that's in there that we did add was um we added uh quite a section about appropriate dress. Um we we we ran into more and more issues with that this year. Um, again at at at that child care level surprisingly.”

“The one change that I'd like to point to in early learning is that we um for the last few years, door two... we saw more and more people, miscellaneous people we'll call them, coming in that door and it really raised it really raised a concern even though it was only open during certain times. We time we timed that door.”

“We want to make sure that we still have reasonable access for our programs, our local programs, so that they they can utilize our gyms. We want them in those facilities. We just can't run it at a $50,000 deficit.”

“It's not just it's not just raise the rates. That's not what this is about. It's about trying to do it better, try to do it more efficiently, and try to market it to some more of those some more of those people that that are willing to use our great facility.”

“This resolution uh calls for the election of three board members for four-year terms. Um it's just an annual uh process that we have to go through when um folks are uh up for reelection.”

“This is another resolution that we do annually with uh when we're up in election season, but um it uh notes u some key important dates for filing uh for uh board positions. Again, July 14th, 2026. Uh, and it runs for a week and will close on July 28th, 2026. Again, there's the the common expensive $2 filing fee.”

“This is the annual um resolution in which we designate uh Miss Heather Huan as our uh district authority to um do the the identified official with authority in the Iowa. Um so we approve um to uh reertify Heather as that individual.”

“An organization like Southwest Metro cannot levy for any of their um their their buildings or for their safe schools. So, uh they rely on their 11 member districts to do that levying. and it's done proportionally to the amount of usage that each district uses um per year.”

“It is up a little bit this year just because our usage was up. I think we went from 3.1% out of the um 11 member districts which is still very minimal. uh I think we went up to like 3.8 this year. So um the increase in usage will subsequently show an increase in our levy uh contribution back to Southwest Metro.”

“Again, similar uh language here in terms of um our contribution back to their safe schools levy. Um our district again is right around that uh 3.8% um usage. So, we had a slight increase in on our contribution this year due to that uh increase in usage.”

“This is always an exciting uh piece of of the June meeting is that we have a number of staff this year that are moving to tenure status. So again, they have completed three years in the district or uh if they came from another district and were tenured previously, they have one year probation in order to be tenured. Um so uh and that offered a fourth contract, I should add.”
