The only thing I I have tonight is I want to acknowledge the years of service of Paul Lee, who has been our director of special services uh since 2013, and as part of the budget cutting process, we've done some readjusting with the administration, and special services will now fall under the umbrella of our chief academic officer, who's Cait- Caitlin Willis.

Yeah, I would say the board would echo those comments as well, and um he will definitely be missed. I know policy he's done phenomenal things with for the board, so thank you for that.

Tonight, as part of the MDE application in your packet, we'll see those same two things that we have on the screen is our 10-year plan that's color-coded by project as well as the project specific list, the same thing as last meeting. Now, we have four four new attachments that are part of the MDE packet that we need is the LTFM, our expenditure application, our revenue projection, a statement of assurances that kind of says we're going to get the projects done and we'll do them on time, and then a school board resolution, and then meeting minutes for adopting the 10-year plan.

So, basically, we're adopting a 10-year plan, but it's really the FY 2028. We'll come back here to talk about FY 2029 and a new 10-year plan here next year at this time.

Um we did agree to step movement in each year, um the 2.25% increase on the wage schedule in both years. Um that does include um a little bit of a market adjustment to help out our Nutrition Services staff to try to be a little bit more competitive.

Um and then something new um is um we added a um longevity pay at 5 years in an attempt to see if we can't retain um a few more of those staff.

Um as far as food service, we provide food service for a couple other entities that are not in our district, right? ... Does this contract cover those people, too? >> Yes. ... I don't think so. I mean, we're their employer. They're just working at a different site.

And so what you'll see, um the second column there is our preliminary revenue um budget. And uh again, the general fund is um just shy of 156.9 million. Um both in uh the revenue and the expenditures. So there is no planned change to fund balance.

Building construction revenue, um this is again mainly interest uh within the building construction funds. Uh we are planning to utilize more of our bond proceeds. Um those again are carried over from our current fiscal year... That fund balance. So that's why it looks like a negative uh to our fund balance. Again, we are planned spending those restricted fund balance um for the bonds for uh our next year.

Yes, I have a recommended amendment or change to the agenda. ... So, we just discovered that we omitted You had the Q-Comp report on June 2nd. ... We just discovered we omitted the approval of the Q-Comp report that needs to be approved by June 30th.

So Deb Van Cly presented the Q Comp update report on how Q Comp went throughout the year on June 2nd. And typically historically she's presented it and we've approved it the same night, but the practice for the board is we like to see things before we approve it. So we moved her back and had her do it on June 2nd. It was inadvertently left off the agenda this year to approve it tonight and we have to have a board board action by June 30th to uh

The next item is a closed session pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13D.05 Subdivision 3C.3 which allows the board to go into a closed session to develop or consider an offer to purchase or sell real estate property.
