pretty much the same lease as previous years. Um we did raise the rates by $300 a month due to uh increased usage from last year to the from the previous year. um they are using the pool 10 to 15 hours more per month and so just adjusted that uh based on what we would like for instance charge someone who rented the pool.

Yeah I thought it was very fair. both sides came together as a group wasn't you know city verse you know shock public schools as a collaboration I thought you know Bill and Dr. Edmond fantastic group meeting so I think round up

For this group it's as you can see from the chart it's 2.4% increase in wage. um the wage schedule both years, health insurance 4% and 4% both years of increase to the district's contribution. And then this group um had great affinity to add this kind of longevity to the contract. So we were were able to fit it into the to the uh settlement and it came out 5.62%.

We do have a you know this is one of those groups we have turnover and partly we have turnover in this group because there are people sometimes it's people early career um they're you know like we have people who actually working our parent jobs to see if they like this kind of work and then might go back and get a teaching degree

this is a you know this is one of our smaller groups. It's 38 staff members. Um again looks very similar. They got they uh had 2% uh increase to the wage schedule in each year. Um they wanted 5% but 6% on health insurance. Um this is a group a couple of years ago that almost put very little money on health insurance.

Certifying at the maximum preserves the district's available levy authority under the calculations as they are updated. So, as of this moment, I'd be still running calculations and updating the levy limitations report, and that will be more finalized as we get closer to September.

The history lesson here. This has this there's a political element. Somebody thought it'd be great to make people say that word at the September meeting. And really what it does, it keeps everything on the table until you have all the numbers, all the data, and then bring it forward as a final product at December 7th.

Is we were paying a lump sum of $125,000 a year. First few years, I would say we were probably overpaying. We might have been paying beyond the market rate. The last handful of years, we've been underpaying. If you just kind of look at, hey, what people charge for ice and the kind of the facilities.

We're the premier tenant of our ice arena. Uh we book uh really the prime time and to be quite frank we book the ice time that we want which is incredibly valuable. Uh and because we're you know a prime customer if you will uh we get a slightly discounted rate off of what uh they were just renting the ice time to somebody else.

So we uh luckily had policy committee uh tonight so we're able to discuss these um as a group. Um but so regarding policy um 208 section 5 letter B talks about um where our policy is available and so the two things raised were one the policy doesn't say anything about the fact that we have policies online um and we should include that um and also the consensus was that it's probably not true that physical copies are available um in every school office

kind of the consensus we arrived at was that state high school league rules about eligibility would be on top of our existing uh district transfer rules. So it'be like, you know, everyone's obligated to follow all of the policies that we have and then on top of that when questions of eligibility and such in addition to what we have.
