1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,280
I see proposed. It's cut in and tax rate.

2
00:00:04,450 --> 00:00:31,090
So part of your board agenda. Part of the point is just to notice the post hearings in the paper this year we posted in the. I want to order and the ground. It's great. Granted. Granted. Granted. Granted. Tax tax rate calculation worksheet. The one that is posted is the 36 cents for the debt service. I have.

3
00:00:31,090 --> 00:00:44,910
The one that I originally did for the, I guess the voter approved rate, like I said last month, we voted to increase that voter approved the rate.

4
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:55,050
So let's first talk about our budget for our general operating, our maintenance and operation.

5
00:00:55,690 --> 00:01:02,050
The tax rate this year is going to be, that we're going to propose is 70.11 cents per

6
00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:08,310
hundred dollars of valuation. Our budget is calculated on, if you will, go, take a second.

7
00:01:08,490 --> 00:01:14,190
I want to put it on that. The one that says budget, the first one.

8
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:18,510
Not the first one.

9
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:22,390
The middle one, the first one that says budget, the BIC general operating.

10
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:36,670
So we calculated the budget on an average daily attendance of 1,120 students for our average daily attendance.

11
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:44,110
I will say for the first two weeks of school our average daily attendance is 1,180 or average daily attendance.

12
00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:52,010
So, as a bright now, we're looking, this budget proved, we're looking like it's, we

13
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:54,070
could end up better than what we're projecting around now.

14
00:01:55,910 --> 00:02:02,470
You see the reason, the next reason for the revenue decrease where this last year or budget

15
00:02:02,470 --> 00:02:09,670
was not $19.6 million, the actual amount, we still made it, it happened a day or tomorrow

16
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:13,550
we'll have a payment from TEA, when you look at the budget amendments, it's going to be

17
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:20,930
over $19 million. So we'll generate revenue this year. So budget is for our

18
00:02:20,930 --> 00:02:27,810
maintenance operation, 18 million, 654,313. There's been no changes since our

19
00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:33,910
August 10 budget workshop. So, the only questions.

20
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:41,780
Here's your hope of the

21
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:42,760
interest in sinking.

22
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,980
Alright, so our interest in sinking, once had on August 10th, we

23
00:02:54,980 --> 00:03:01,360
approved to recent voter approval tax rate with the proposed rate of 36 cents, the tax

24
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:09,260
rate of 30.36 cents, not what we're proposing now, but the tax rate of 30.36 would have generated

25
00:03:09,260 --> 00:03:17,900
enough to pay the proposed expenditure budget, shows there $2 million, $512,600. That is our

26
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:23,740
budget on the expenditure side with the tax rate of 36 cents per $100 valuation of property

27
00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:29,740
Texas district which is a rate of $3,000,000, $350.00.

28
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:40,350
The last one is our food service budget.

29
00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:50,090
The cafeteria is a balanced budget of $927,268.00.

30
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:54,850
I could tell you how a couple weeks ago we're not most sure what this is going to look like with our community out of the beverage program.

31
00:03:54,850 --> 00:04:02,170
here about the middle of September, in August, we'll run our reports to TDA to get the

32
00:04:02,170 --> 00:04:05,690
re-enforcement and we'll kind of see what the right-wing looks like for the community

33
00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:07,270
of the building provision program.

34
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:10,470
Have you spoken to the elementaries?

35
00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:11,970
Is that working out good, Prairie?

36
00:04:12,530 --> 00:04:13,350
I think so.

37
00:04:13,570 --> 00:04:18,370
I know we've gotten a lot of positive feedback about food up here on the hill being served and

38
00:04:18,370 --> 00:04:19,290
the elementary food.

39
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:21,050
So I think it's going to be good.

40
00:04:21,050 --> 00:04:22,050
I think it's going to be good.

41
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:28,250
that they changed it up right? Yes. Yes. We have a free lunches for all the elementary, you know,

42
00:04:28,410 --> 00:04:32,270
I haven't heard anything from the cafeteria. Okay, I didn't know if you had more eat in the

43
00:04:32,270 --> 00:04:38,050
cafeteria since it was free lunches for the kids. I haven't pulled those numbers and I haven't

44
00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:44,050
heard anything feedback from the cafeteria. All I've heard about is foods better. The overall

45
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:44,930
message yourself.

46
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:53,960
Ms. Garge, I said I've discussed the tax rate so we're proposing tonight

47
00:04:54,900 --> 00:05:02,280
70-21 cents for maintenance operation and 36 cents for the debt centers. Let's all have

48
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,500
to go have a few questions.

49
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,500
Do we need to go in and close? If you all would like to go in to close,

50
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:12,920
we can go into closed.

51
00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:34,690
Go ahead, go ahead and vote on six.

52
00:05:38,030 --> 00:05:39,210
Next is budget amendments.

53
00:05:48,290 --> 00:06:06,300
Do we want to talk about the

54
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:07,380
I finally saw the contract.

55
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Well, I guess they have a contract.

56
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,580
We've talked to the party about the land purchase

57
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:13,460
in the West station.

58
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:15,520
And all I had was the contract.

59
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,980
And the contract said, was it $300?

60
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:19,660
For a total of $300.

61
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:20,620
$300?

62
00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:23,540
Little less than $301,000.

63
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:29,540
So that money from that we appropriate for that

64
00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:30,420
and moved it around.

65
00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:32,960
So we would have a balanced budget.

66
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:42,460
One of the issues that we ran into, the accruals put most of our payroll over, I guess

67
00:06:42,460 --> 00:06:43,380
did you send them that email?

68
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,160
I didn't send it to them.

69
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:49,160
Oh, the one where you emailed me back while they're email address.

70
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:50,580
My call?

71
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,300
Oh.

72
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,280
So anyways, our budget for payroll this past year was $12 million.

73
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:58,040
After it was all sent down, it didn't end up being $12.00 million.

74
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:04,560
So that's really what has caused some issues here at the end of the budget, hopefully.

75
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,200
I think that's why I would see some increases in this year's budget and fight as in payroll.

76
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:22,100
So anyways, I took that difference of what the contract said, $300,000, and you said $188,000

77
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,980
to balance all the other budgets.

78
00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:28,980
So about 30 minutes ago, Paul was asking about that,

79
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,640
because I thought it was $490,000.

80
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,300
Well, we got to look into where he has another document

81
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:39,940
that says it is $490,000.

82
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:40,640
It is.

83
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:43,060
I pulled our subcommittee notes

84
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:47,380
that we had at those meetings with the EDC,

85
00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:50,240
and it is for $490.

86
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:59,680
So we had the $189 for the purchase of the land, $300,000, $800,000, $811 for the purchase

87
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:06,400
of our portion of the lift station for a total of $489,000, something, almost $490,000.

88
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,520
So on this budget, you can look, we have overexpended function 11, well, we're right at it.

89
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,960
I added a column this month that I don't normally have.

90
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:29,140
it's encumbered and this was as of the last I think three days ago to this so yeah

91
00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:30,800
could I rank payroll for my day.

92
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,760
My point being encumbered is what we said we're

93
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,280
going to spend but mine not necessarily spend, right?

94
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:46,420
No, no that's decimal, I'm sorry I looked at 50 for you.

95
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:54,580
So it probably won't spin that much, but it's been appropriated, it's a PO's contract.

96
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:56,800
Like, we give them some vendors that will pay it.

97
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,900
It may not, the teacher that goes for whatever may not use all that money, or it may fall

98
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:04,720
there and they don't use it off side of the money, it may come back.

99
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,700
But these budget amendments cover, like I said, payroll is finished and it covers any

100
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:11,260
in coverances that we have.

101
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,460
If the spread didn't go in before September 1st,

102
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,340
then it's up next year.

103
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,380
So when we get to the resolution and it's been updated,

104
00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:22,020
if you've looked at it already because of this tonight,

105
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,480
that's going to go into designated fund ballots.

106
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:26,120
Did

107
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:42,200
you say there was 900,000 increase in salary?

108
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,200
Paul, we expanded the original budget last year

109
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,180
in September was $12 million.

110
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:52,600
And then we changed the budget throughout the year,

111
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,420
but it's still wet enough. So it's 12.0. It's called Iroh. I went it up here.

112
00:10:02,510 --> 00:10:03,850
Anyone have any questions on that?

113
00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:09,630
We are going to go ahead and go into closed session.

114
00:10:11,830 --> 00:10:17,170
So it shouldn't take long, but if you don't want to step out, 640.

115
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,640
So

116
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:27,610
I'm not going to do so.

117
00:10:27,690 --> 00:10:31,210
We brought reading glasses. So we're getting ready.

118
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,580
Are we run locked and we're ready?

119
00:10:54,580 --> 00:11:02,620
everybody? Yes, ma'am. All right. Item number five discussing to consider the approval of the 2025-2026 final budget amendments

120
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:09,000
which we already went through and so each year we present final budget amendments since we're all funds and functions

121
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:18,180
we've presented. For the audits, the more we'll consider the final budget amendments for revenues and expenditures, the 2025-2026 budget is recommended by

122
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:22,800
administration. I get a motion to approve the final

123
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,740

126
00:11:38,770 --> 00:11:39,730
Tony, don't take a picture of

127
00:11:39,730 --> 00:11:43,590
me holding up the sheet. Directed over there.

128
00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:50,290

129
00:11:50,290 --> 00:11:54,650

130
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:59,830

131
00:11:59,830 --> 00:12:02,370

district rate.

139
00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:20,600
The maximum tax rate the district can impose for the 2026-2027

140
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,160
1 is 0.7011 for maintenance and operation.

141

143
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,880

This form is for the addition of Matthew Devonport as an authorized representative for the district's Lone Star investment pool.

150
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Make a motion to approve the authorized representative form for the Lone Star investment pool for Prairie Freeman and Matthew Devonport to be authorized.

151
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Okay.

152
00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:33,060
All in favor?

153
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,120
All opposed?

154
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:37,180
Motion passes.

158
00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:47,140
and authority to execute the agreement.

159
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:49,320

00:13:51,780 --> 00:13:54,620

00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,560
I should move for Prairie Freeman and Matthew Davenport

163
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,500
to be a designated pop-around representative

164
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:03,240
to have the power of inquiry.

165
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:06,260
Execute the agreement to the other documents

166
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:09,800
I'd like to require to pause the money to draw money from

167
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,660
right by student loans to start with that.

168
00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:13,300
Second.

All opposed.

172

Discussing, consider approval for the 2026, 2027 fuel bill.

00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,280
Fuel bids.

176
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:33,900
Can we make the motion?

177
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:35,100
No, that's not fair.

178
00:14:36,260 --> 00:14:37,920
Make a motion to approve the bid.
