[0:31] nation
[0:52] I'm sure you for I'm guessing you'll cover it I'm just hoping to see what the
[0:56] status might be thanks
[1:24] I actually just learned today we anticipated that answer by 31st
[1:45] building rapport
[1:49] I believe you the privates - repeats for which bracelet and he gave update on
[2:04] where we stand as far as our kids have or so the kids are doing well our third
[2:24] grade green guarantee from last year our kids actually we're currently doing our
[2:36] math testing finishing that up March 24th and that's our third and final
[2:42] session for this year and relaxing happens I want to thank Salem church on
[2:48] 5:19 there because they provided breakfast our kids
[3:14] everything that's on there is my comments let the only thing that comes
[3:20] from last column
[3:40] Oh
[3:53] biggest thing going on right now spaceport we do softball season has been
[3:59] canceled we had enough and then I had a couple
[4:03] girls we practice the other day and they were playing so we were eight girls and
[4:10] so we do now have 16 kids on our team all of the girls went to trap so
[4:29] well I can tell you that I normally have something prepared however and other
[4:35] thing that's happening we're not get a chance to do that but what I do want to
[4:39] do is quickly go over the things that are put in my recommendation so you kind
[4:43] of understand that the first is obviously we hope to improve the minutes
[4:48] however we have found that there were several minutes that have not been
[4:52] approved by the board yet so those are listed and I believe Joe
[4:57] gave you a copy of each of those the next one is a resolution accepting the
[5:04] amounts and rates of the tax lobbies this is something that should be done
[5:07] every year I gave you I always review it it looks okay to me in comparison with
[5:19] last year so that's why it's on me agenda tonight there is a recommendation
[5:29] to enter into a shared services agreement with old Fork or myself and
[5:33] the Faro punch I do not have time or at this point to be honest the ability to
[5:40] do payroll on top of managing those districts so that's why there's a need
[5:46] for for both of us
[5:49] I and on top of that so we have to pass resolutions for the shared services
[5:59] agreement between vets available for so if that's what also has to approve a
[6:03] contract for myself as interim treasurer and it also basically says of that
[6:08] you're contracting my service dual or in that everything will be okay this is may
[6:19] or may not be something there for you whatever the athletic department or any
[6:26] other department needs to borrow money from the general fund it has to be done
[6:30] through board resolution and it has to be done in Parliament transfer to do it
[6:36] so that's why you'll see that going forward so what happened was there are
[6:46] three checks to transfer funds from where our budgetary accounts we have
[6:58] like one to cover those expenses
[7:05] because you have some new porn number then because you have new terms you have
[7:09] to delegate the treasurer or in this case the interim treasurer to go to
[7:14] certified public records training on their behalf unless you want to sit
[7:17] through that on your own and be happy to do that
[7:21] that's pretty grueling the next two are really just services that we use on a
[7:29] yearly basis and we're starting to get conflicts and for the 1415 school year
[7:35] and then the last thing is at some point it was decided by this court to better
[7:42] resolution and for the Lamia on the ballot that levy equated to about fifty
[7:48] thousand dollars in revenue for the district I've been in contact with them
[7:53] de with our physical consulting with the Commission for fiscal emergency and and
[7:58] I don't know how to say this really nicely but when you're $775,000 at fifty
[8:06] thousand dollars is laughable so their recommendation and mine to the board is
[8:14] that we remove this from the ballot this year for Maine and then we can put a new
[8:23] one on but we need to put a new one that's more feasible to help offset this
[8:30] this deficit what we don't want to do is go back to the taxpayers five six seven
[8:35] eight times and asking for fifty thousand years if it's out there because
[8:39] they don't it'll like that I don't want to be asking for new money
[8:47] so it didn't look like we were going to be able to but I got a call this
[8:52] afternoon that we are able to remove that from the ballot it may still show
[8:55] up on the ballot but there will be a little asterisk via that sound it's null
[8:59] and void it will not be counted not be for or against the district so to do
[9:04] that I have to pass the resolution tonight and then Ricky has a paper that
[9:09] we have all you have to sign in order to
[9:24] the contracts
[9:36] if that happens then that spittle seems to exist and therefore any contract with
[9:42] best bill we would owe any money that was due up to that date but going
[9:49] forward and both of these are haven't even so we don't even know for sure if
[9:54] it's on the kid but I see on the shared services for you and that regime yes
[10:05] what is Joe doing Joe's doing a mess that accounts payable
[10:14] check set for me just let that like fun or negative
[10:20] pretty sure they were just afar they professionals written for negative thing
[10:26] they know that there was negative balance there
[10:32] issues I don't know I don't know what these are dated when 21 negative
[10:45] the other thing I did want to tell you is that we did receive our solvency
[10:49] funds over seven hundred seventy-five thousand dollars and I had been working
[10:53] as fast as I can to get all those payments out so that we don't occur
[11:01] anywhere at the tail under then we sent out
[11:23] I know that you have a student wasn't flat rock that's there all year round we
[11:30] have
[11:55] Davis mr. Baker yes
[12:37] the contingency plan I didn't turn this into the state as our contingency plan
[13:07] now say that that is how we're making up the days those are the dates that we
[13:16] were closed on the left what they were replaced by wanted to get
[13:30] that together and we may or may not bring it for board resolution a lot of
[13:40] times you'll get more emails it's saying well you don't need to do this you do
[13:45] need to do and until they come to a conclusion on if you have to do it or
[13:49] not you know there it is that's all one of
[14:00] them in one day will the fog people have to feel like noon or something the one
[14:08] of them was fog way back in November or whatever it was but I think that
[14:14] December 16th date was you know the average statewide the average was 12 so
[14:31] that's a lot for a state average so even you know the schools down in southern
[14:36] Ohio about they they had quite a few of themselves and so and of course you know
[14:41] this way they'd set a record for snowfall
[14:46] I do recommend that we pass this because even though maybe it's not a practice
[14:52] nowadays it is required if we change the calendar that the board approves a
[14:57] change from calendar so I think it's just better that we passed a resolution
[15:01] to them
[15:05] and like I said yeah it would be what the third is your own under contract no
[15:58] we will not those will be that's where we're at right now if we would have
[16:03] another snow day yes it would be in third and fourth etc etc you know most
[16:10] districts wanted to stay away from adding a half hour at the end of the day
[16:15] I know old Ford in particular with the
[16:23] bus schedules it messes up babysitting schedules and everything so a lot of
[16:29] those districts stayed away from that with the exception of my son and another
[16:35] district he was too happy about going later in the day but so yeah answer your
[16:41] question think that we would be the third
[16:51] their elementary is 15 minutes earlier in the morning and 15 minutes later of
[16:56] the day I don't which you can get accomplished them out but and the junior
[16:59] high out up is stacked on a half an hour D end of the day and they're not getting
[17:04] out so June like 15th or something right there late
