The couple of things that are new to us this year. Um this is realigning with the executive directors. Um all things that have already um passed in the reporting structure. Uh this has the name of our new assistant superintendent who you met earlier. uh this has the name of our principal at Centennial who will actually be here at a meeting in August to be introduced. Um and then you'll note there is an opening for director of special education because while we had um believed we had filled that um that did change just as late as today and so that contract is not coming to board today um and we'll be looking to fill that in the future.

So, uh the state um allocates funds for long-term facilities maintenance based on a formula per student formula. So, the $1.5 million is allocated to the um is the school is allowed to levy taxpayers for that long-term facilities maintenance fund. So, that is levy dollars um which is why we have to be approving this now already for next July one um because that information starts to go into the levy preparation between now and the end of December.

Um in this specifically on the bonding side of things, um we have taken a look and gotten some preliminary estimates that $9.5 million in bond issues would be about $40 for an average homeowner in per year.

Well, I I think um and I will get to where I think you're wanting me to go. Um the one of the things that I've learned over the last few years with this is like I I felt like we had done all of this great construction work on the buildings not that long ago and I remember three years ago seeing some of the um brick work on the high school crumbling um not long after that construction was done. and and Craig and I had a conversation about like why wasn't this a part of the work and part of that is that we were trying to use the money the dollars to really improve the interior of the building and then we can still use this LTFM funds to do those things like tuck points on the roof and bricks on the outside and those can be done over a period of time um as we see they're necessary versus like doing a big bang we got to take out this whole wall right

For each year of this group, there'll be a two and a half% increase across all cells. We have um increased our longevity. Uh in our review, we identified um that to stay and to continue to be competitive that an increase in longevity would would make sense. Now on the benefit changes, uh the district's family contribution to the uh district's medical uh program is an increase by 100 per month for the 2627 year, bringing the district contribution amount to 1700. for year two or for the 2728 year, the district family contribution to that medical program is an increase of $200 and for a total of $1,900.

Key recommendations that I'd like to highlight is the health resource coordinator position. Um, an increase in that pay rate to to reflect the expanded expanded responsibilities of that position. So you'll see that we also have added a school bus driver traininee. It's a new position. It will add a casual assignment as a pathway for individuals interested in becoming school bus drivers who do not currently have their CDL or school bus driver license. and it will allow them to um get hired in a temporary basis to uh have some training and participation to so that they can be successful in obtaining that license.

The water safety assistant position, which is under community ed as well, is no longer needed because staff are now hired directly as water safety instructors. It's allowing them to complete that initial training within the existing position and that pay range and you see that position has a pay range.

As a reminder, uh the Spartan Foundation set their tournament on the 21st, which is the third Monday, our typical meeting. So given uh the need for the second meeting um and budget timing, we are just suggesting to move that to uh June 28th um and that still leaves a couple weeks between that and the July meeting.

Purchase of 225 Acer Chromebook plus devices um with management license. Total purchase amount 240,750. Uh this is bought through Sourcewell which is our joint purchasing agreement partner.

Richfield Community Ed received donations of $225 from the city of Roseville, $1,200 from the Harry Wenger Marching Band Festival, $1,400 from the Winona Steamboat Days Festival, and $500 from the Lichfield Visitor Bureau for marching band. So, we thank uh those folks for the generous donations to our marching band. and Richfield Dual Language received a donation of $25,657.90 from the RDLS PTSO for shade structure and so they are uh helping build some structures to support shade. Thank them all.

our final B item of business uh is normally to adjourn, but tonight we have a close session to discuss labor negotiations. As such, we'll now consider a motion to move into close session as law by Minnesota State Statute 13 DO3 for labor negotiation strategy.
