[0:00] We

[0:05] need to order at 6 o'clock. Thank you for everybody who's here. If you didn't have a chance, please make sure you sign in back there. We do not have any public comments, I believe. So we'll move into a group and the agenda. So move. Second, I can buy. All those in favor.

[0:26] Motion carries six. We're going to our consent agenda. I just want to recognize. We're always thankful for our donations. So there's a $3,000.

[0:35] dollar donation per CER from the Prairie Lakes Regional Art Council. And then

[0:41] school and classroom supplies for kindergarten from the Fairmont Rotary Club.

[0:46] So thank you very much to those donors as well as I want to recognize

[0:51] Nikki Smith because then here along high and we wish for her well and her

[1:02] second-by-day runs. All those in favor?

[1:12] Moving to our non-action items with

[1:14] finance and enrollment?

[1:16] All right. Pretty exciting so far.

[1:19] We're just going month into the fiscal year so far.

[1:23] So we're lining up exactly as we did last year.

[1:27] Any questions about that?

[1:33] Move on to enrollment.

[1:37] Just a few days to go before school starts.

[1:39] Our numbers are looking really good.

[1:41] We're excited about them.

[1:44] I believe Sherburne Elementary wins the award for getting all of their

[1:49] registrations in first but try them on in high school are just behind them working hard

[1:54] we'll be ready for the first day on Thursday for secondary students. So just as a reminder

[2:00] we budgeted for 600 students so we're like sitting here and the place is an elementary

[2:08] where we have planned for three sections are the largest class size of so far or size of

[2:15] a great so far. And we're just keeping an eye on kindergarten because we have more of those

[2:21] little ones than we expected. So far still very comfortable class sizes at kindergarten as well.

[2:27] Would we have in the flow last year on kids with 20, 30 kids up and down?

[2:32] Somewhere in there we do fluctuate a lot that feels like.

[2:39] So this number will move around

[2:41] all through the year.

[2:46] We'll go into our building classic update with

[2:52] the man with the plan.

[2:52] It's

[3:07] complete in

[3:11] C, HVAC area F, there's

[3:19] a clover sleeve,

[3:34] some outdoor,

[4:00] pretty much ready to go in.

[4:01] I think with the

[4:05] frames made, we're intending on estimates.

[4:10] So the

[4:17] first layer of fonts

[4:21] is ready to go.

[4:28] Masonry in the shop is underway, the boiler room is underway.

[4:31] Masonry, we

[4:46] fussy about the length and size and position of the trees

[4:52] and embedded mod and radius in each of those ends.

[4:57] So that we can get the lanes exactly the number that I

[5:12] surveyed market so that then they can pull

[5:23] over the other ones to

[5:31] Mother's Day, pouring

[5:37] the,

[5:41] at some point in the next pictures

[5:45] coming mid September, the field, it's going

[5:55] weeks.

[5:56] It will really start, we won't get the polls

[6:02] to be a big downside.

[6:14] There's a big lands,

[6:41] it's a lot of

[6:45] completion vapor time,

[7:18] gets us into our next phase.

[7:20] is now I'm not going to wait to start painting.

[7:23] I

[7:36] want to win this to put in a little

[7:41] bit of painting.

[7:42] It's not scheduled very

[7:48] good scheduled wise.

[7:49] The optimistic, I'll just say that we're

[7:53] trying

[8:04] to have you been top quality and satisfied.

[8:06] Absolutely, everything gets inspected.

[8:10] Two weeks ago, we had

[8:34] a pin, which

[8:43] was an honest mistake.

[8:46] So in this

[9:15] old season, it grows sufficiently

[9:17] that you won't kill or

[9:29] hear something different

[9:29] about that

[9:37] on the big deal.

[10:00] Thanks.

[10:03] Thank you, School of Milling.

[10:06] Yeah, as the electricians are working on doing all exterior wiring and electricity to feed the stadium, they really need a place.

[10:17] We have to finalize the plan for the shed that will go there.

[10:22] And then it was part of a plan for two sheds in building.

[10:26] We made that plan a year and a half ago or so.

[10:31] And so now, before they start moving things around, we just thought it was a good time to come back and ask the question of what combination of existing and or new sheds best meet our storage needs.

[10:43] Because we said it's been a year and a half, our storage needs have changed over that time.

[10:48] I have a list there on the screen of things that we're looking to store potentially outside of the building.

[10:55] And yeah, those electricians, they have been very busy and they're really excited to get

[11:01] that transformer wired and undercover, so they need a decision from you all about this

[11:10] in the next few weeks, otherwise we risk filling some things.

[11:14] We have put together some options,

[11:20] not quite good enough to talk and pull it up.

[11:32] Okay.

[11:39] So we've talked through a number of different options for this.

[11:44] The first one, of course, is just go with the plan, which is to move these shed behind

[11:50] sure we're an elementary two stories over to near the stadium that will become our athletic storage

[11:58] and house that transformer and then the other part of that plan was to take the shed at the high

[12:04] school and move it to the west of the building that would be more for buildings and grounds

[12:10] equipment, bulk purchasing, overflow materials from the shops, lumber metals, things we buy in bulk

[12:18] go there. So there's always some risk in moving those of damaging them or what

[12:29] have you and as Mike has mentioned to us a number of times, if we move those

[12:32] that's the footprint we have to work in. Our needs will have to conform to

[12:38] what we have there. Perfectly fine way to do it. I can add to this. We'd looked at

[12:45] you know, moving the shed around here by the elementary school to this spot.

[12:50] Now we're getting some prices on moving it and then actually making it fit in, because

[12:56] it's not the right color.

[12:58] You're going to have as much into it as you would have a new one.

[13:02] The shed really isn't laid out for it, it doesn't work that good.

[13:06] So we can leave that one there.

[13:08] We can take AC unit off the high school for a tear down.

[13:13] from plumbing that you see to that one.

[13:16] So we have climate controlled up in that, they can store some things in there and then

[13:21] take and build a brand new shed in this spot that fits it.

[13:26] We worked with, we had operations meeting talked through this, talked to Jeremiah, Michael,

[13:32] and you, and there might have been somebody else in there.

[13:35] We figured out what all the track equipment would be for square footage and talking to Tommy.

[13:40] he talked to other schools and they had said they all need to be bigger for

[13:46] their storage so what we kind of come up with a little bit is get a couple bits

[13:52] go out for bits on a little bigger building have a little bit bigger because

[13:57] you're gonna store some football equipment in there and the rake right what's

[14:01] that thing called the fluffer and fluffer whatever it is it's a sweeper in the

[14:07] If you want to be fancy about it.

[14:09] And you have a shed for your athletic equipment that should suit your needs.

[14:15] So I would like to make a motion to go out for kids on this new shed.

[14:23] Put that down and

[14:27] we will circle back to that.

[14:37] I think we should table the second shed like I already was on the other side.

[14:41] Yeah.

[14:41] And then say sorry.

[14:43] I like the same thing.

[14:46] Yep, because it has no value where you could move it, keep it un-sailable, you know,

[14:54] a sailable asset with two sheds on top.

[15:00] Something. So you have access to, yeah, use it for a while, and we know exactly what you want. We're not going to always change your mind. So just, I think it just takes the work. I forgot to talk about that. What you're saying, I, I really like that idea because we have that on our parking lot. You put your type three vehicles in there, like you said, and they got their own place to park. And on that second, said, no, we're not talking about that today. We're just talking about traction.

[15:30] That other shed, I think next June, we got to have a decision on that.

[15:36] Yeah, I think we needed a little sooner or later.

[15:43] Okay. Well, we got some time on that to figure out what we need to suit our needs there.

[15:48] But if we had that shed out here and then this shed out here, we have storage.

[15:53] If we do build a second shed, we don't need as much over there.

[15:57] It's kind of my thoughts.

[16:15] I was just going to go through them, but if we've moved on for some of the options,

[16:21] these options really just represent solving various or answering all kinds of different

[16:27] questions.

[16:28] Where are we going to put our type 3 vehicles?

[16:30] Where do we want to store things like buildings and grounds equipment, there's lots of options

[16:37] for them.

[16:41] Again, up to you.

[16:46] And circle back to you, also.

[16:49] Okay.

[16:54] Anything else?

[17:04] Back to my right screen here.

[17:15] We welcomed our whole staff back for our all staff meeting earlier this morning.

[17:21] And our title, one ESP at Tremont Elementary Wendy Brockman was named our Maverick District

[17:29] Difference Maker in recognition of all that she has done over her.

[17:34] I don't know, I think she's at about two decades here with us.

[17:39] The last several, being particularly focused on supporting struggling readers at Tramon

[17:44] and Elementary.

[17:45] A wonderful person, she's excellent at our job and we're just so grateful to have her here.

[17:51] So it was fun to recognize her this morning.

[18:01] Moving to our action items, if that's all right, we may be there or we'll point yours at the

[18:06] end.

[18:06] Good.

[18:06] So

[18:11] action I am a approve the attached resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling the district general election

[18:19] Yes, three open seats on the ballot for election day in November 3rd

[18:29] So move second

[18:30] Motion made by Nathan second by Jaren. This is a resolution. So it's a roll call vote start with the unit. Yes

[18:37] Yes?

[18:38] Yes.

[18:39] Danielle?

[18:40] Yes.

[18:41] Mark?

[18:42] Yes.

[18:43] Jeff?

[18:43] Yes.

[18:44] Myself?

[18:44] Yes.

[18:45] Motion Theory 6-0.

[18:48] Actually, I am being approved the lease with Cedar Mountain bus service from the Sherburne

[18:52] bus garage.

[18:53] All right.

[18:56] So, they are operating now as a Maverick bus service, which we love, and they are requesting

[19:02] to lease our Sherburne bus garage at a cost of $600 or a fee, I should say, of $600 a month.

[19:10] I did look up what it costs the district to carry just to make sure that that cover

[19:14] your costs, obviously, and just under $300 a month and cost to the district before that,

[19:23] for that that we're going to spend anyway.

[19:32] You know, there is interest in it, but at this point, I'd rather see how things shake out

[19:37] with where our type 3 vehicles drive or park so they're in the process of moving all the

[19:43] district equipment and supplies up there and we'll know that may be an action item in September but

[19:50] I want to make sure we know how things work for us too.

[20:02] Motion. Second.

[20:16] All right, they have sent this to us. It's for one year more only that is all they're able to commit to just a modest increase $720, which is just on the 5% of the total contract seems fair.

[20:33] So

[20:38] we'll move second.

[20:39] Okay.

[20:40] Oh, there's no question this happened.

[20:42] Next year, we'll come quick.

[20:47] Just make sure we're not letting that slip.

[20:52] Yes, Nicole's and our R&D have looked at a few places.

[20:58] There's already lots of discussion happening.

[21:00] So, good reminder and they're on it.

[21:06] All right.

[21:06] So, most of us may have been by Nathan, second by Darren.

[21:10] All those in favor.

[21:11] All right.

[21:12] Okay.

[21:13] Opposed?

[21:14] Motion carries 6-0.

[21:15] Action IMD approves the easement with Minnesota Energy for a gas main at the high school.

[21:21] All right.

[21:22] So this is part of a larger project.

[21:24] Minnesota Energy is doing in the town.

[21:27] I'm sure everyone there.

[21:28] I understand they're starting the project down on front street.

[21:31] It will run.

[21:32] It will be bored, so they won't dig anything up, which is not interesting.

[21:36] They'll bore all the way up Banny Aska to fifth street here and then go straight west out.

[21:41] out along the new bus lane we're building out to the county road.

[21:46] It's a big benefit to the community.

[21:48] It just creates additional capacity for them to make sure natural gas flows in their community.

[21:58] Questions?

[22:00] It does say images

[22:04] to be updated for people later.

[22:07] It

[22:10] ends up not being where we want it.

[22:12] They want to put it somewhere else.

[22:13] We get a second chance.

[22:14] answer. No.

[22:19] It just means that when they're worrying, they find something that

[22:32] is nothing

[22:33] right now. I mean, they can be what's defined by what else is already there. So it's full

[22:41] of other things.

[23:02] If they're 200 feet more than south, say we want to maybe build a potential

[23:06] building, no, they're going to stay within a.

[23:18] I had the same question just because there

[23:21] there is a chunk of the property that is lies to the south of where their

[23:25] proposingness and perhaps part of the shed solution will be located there.

[23:31] They did not think that was going to be an issue at all.

[23:33] They snung up to that road pretty closely.

[23:36] Is

[23:51] there any remaining concerns?

[23:53] No.

[24:05] Itch next to the house

[24:09] run this way and you're going to cross it this way and I'm sure

[24:11] they'll be lowered now.

[24:25] You can see all the right away.

[24:52] All right, when we had you do this last month, we did not know the adult meal prices set

[24:59] by the Department of Education.

[25:00] We know that now, so that's been updated on that fee schedule.

[25:04] We also were still having some discussion about incident rental fees.

[25:08] At this point they will remain as they were last year since families are already paying

[25:13] it.

[25:37] All right, I think we shared some details in the packet. It's very similar to next year's or last year's plan with some important clarifications about attendance thing.

[25:46] I really will help with stick to our very tight calendar this year.

[25:53] And so we'll either works with the committee that puts this together and she's here to answer.

[25:58] I

[26:06] know this is not my year to be at a soapbox, really

[26:16] be effective unless we're one with

[26:26] sleep in going out.

[26:31] Getting up early for them sometimes is for me,

[26:36] but my question really is, is how are we

[26:38] involved?

[26:43] I mean, are we able to do more than crosswords and check-ins, are we,

[26:49] and I said same thing

[26:50] over at the special education level.

[26:52] We

[27:00] talked about that quite a bit the last couple years ago.

[27:12] I would say just time

[27:25] is for the better as far as, it

[27:31] would take them a solid.

[27:37] I think people are getting the idea more so, like, if I was going to do a lab,

[27:48] so trying

[27:49] to do something that's beneficial and not just safe.

[27:56] I feel like that across the board,

[27:58] I don't know if I can say yes for sure, it's

[28:04] I think the elementary started out with like choice

[28:06] forms that we did a lot during COVID and I feel like they have shifted to you guys could speak

[28:13] to that more as far as that

[28:17] are going to be beneficial.

[28:21] So I mean I do feel like it's

[28:23] finished to the better. I think some people would like us like let's me with kids every hour like

[28:30] But just knowing how that went very COVID, we went away from that during that time, because

[28:34] it's a million reasons why somebody can't get on.

[28:45] I think it's been an improvement.

[28:46] Is it perfect?

[28:47] Absolutely not.

[28:48] You know?

[28:49] Is it feasible to do the check-in at, like, say, two-hour late start times that a-

[28:58] It's not going to get in 30.

[29:00] That's the first time.

[29:06] That's what I'm saying.

[29:07] I think the thought was check-in in the morning and get a meal on right away and give a

[29:12] help or like this is what we're doing a pretty good for the day.

[29:17] I

[29:25] think the

[29:25] times could be could be changed.

[29:34] Yeah I think we just staggered up so that if

[29:37] children want home and they need a pretty different kid.

[30:04] It's in here, if you wanted, if

[30:12] we change this. So it's a 30-kindergarten, 9am, 1st of 5th. Nice,

[30:20] we'll do your high needed.

[30:25] I kind of wondered that too. You know, when I looked at the young kids getting up early, and then the older kids, sleep with them. I don't know, just it was weird to me. It's like older kids, get your butts up. You ready? Because that's what you're going to do in life, you know? I think part of the motivation we're

[30:45] trying to do something

[30:51] classroom. So instead of me sending home, who's a famous person?

[30:56] in a history of wildlife management and everybody does that regardless of if we're trying

[31:02] to get with some time so that when we post something,

[31:07] but that doesn't mean that the under

[31:09] principal does.

[31:11] I guess my own other thought to go along with in that is oftentimes right school is canceled

[31:17] in by 10 o'clock as a mom that works outside the house.

[31:21] I can even get on the road and go into my job and need my kids there.

[31:24] So it's nice to have those younger kids that need that support for that chuck in to be

[31:28] able to have that done versus me delaying that even further in my day.

[31:32] So I see your point of them sleeping in but I think there's probably some

[31:36] others that would prefer to keep it early in the morning just for that very

[31:40] reason as well.

[31:42] That's different from what we think because we can leave them with our wives.

[31:48] So just a different perspective.

[32:01] The day is crazy might have been here.

[32:07] So I feel like we had a thought of place where we could get something to come.

[32:26] I didn't say change a bunch of stuff. It was backwards, but that's when you look at it from her point of view, I can see that, too.

[32:42] You can check it.

[32:50] Just go to

[33:02] get up really, too.

[33:04] I mean, we could maybe pair it like in regards to some of the great sun and so on.

[33:08] It's just hard to know, like, some for some families, you know, they've had just,

[33:33] you know, just felt everything.

[34:02] The teachers are so...

[35:01] We have the least padding that we ever have had, especially for our 12th graders.

[35:05] but yes we could. They need to have at least a true snow day.

[35:24] I make a motion to submit as a proof

[35:26] of submitted.

[35:33] Second.

[35:37] Any other discussion?

[35:50] Who's the following contract and FBE?

[35:58] So would you like to speak to anything? Just the ones that are

[36:01] part-time, also two out of three are based on our section count. So they adjust every year. So this

[36:10] is an annual action in that way. The other one is part time, so we have to do that each year

[36:16] and then the preschool one, just because it's an overload, we'll make sure we're getting approval

[36:23] for that. So these are fifth and sixth grade ban and preschool, there's no change from last year.

[36:33] Another two there is.

[36:41] Second grade ban, yeah. All those in favor?

[36:50] Back here.

[36:51] Yeah, before I make that motion, should I add it this, we had $50,000 in the budget for moving these sheds.

[36:59] So the concrete, the electrical, the dirt works already in the bit. So all we're talking about is the shell

[37:06] interacting the shell, which that 50,000 is going to be right in there for this shed.

[37:13] So I'll make a motion that we go for bits on one shed

[37:19] by the traction and

[37:24] that's it.

[37:29] One shed that's by the stadium.

[37:31] Yep.

[37:32] Track shed.

[37:33] What do you want to call it?

[37:41] It's made by Darren.

[37:42] You go for a bid for one shed by the stadium.

[37:45] Second.

[37:47] One second by Nathan.

[37:49] Any further discussion or questions?

[37:59] Thank you.

[38:00] All right.

[38:01] We'll move into our report.

[38:02] The non-action items.

[38:05] Pretty enough for me.

[38:06] There

[38:11] are many works to

[38:18] have maybe two things that are just going to work for one is that

[38:22] our teachers have to read books in the hands and are doing some stuff,

[38:30] how that's going.

[38:33] Probably the next thing that will be

[38:39] what we now know about

[38:48] from teachers as it takes

[38:51] this point, change how we create.

[38:54] And this might change how in particular,

[39:26] we'll find out,

[39:29] make sure all of

[39:39] this, to see that

[39:39] even though we're leaving the facility, what's in the

[40:07] office.

[40:08] I was talking to Jeremiah the other day and I was asking him, you know, how could we make

[40:14] the janitorial staff more efficient?

[40:17] And he said that it would really help.

[40:19] And some teachers do this.

[40:20] I'm not criticizing them, just saying we got to get better at it, that they make the kids

[40:25] just clean up around their area every day at the end of the school day and put their chairs

[40:31] on the desk.

[40:33] And if we could do that, that little bit of time that takes all them people saves that

[40:38] janitorial staff a lot of time and they could be doing something else for everybody.

[40:43] If that would be nice to be emphasized to all of our teachers, I mean we had to do that

[40:49] when we were growing up.

[40:50] It's a culture.

[40:52] You take care of your stuff and that's what they need to know going on in the world.

[40:57] So that's all I want to say.

[40:59] Can you take that one step further?

[41:05] Is the GMC's resolution

[41:10] here?

[41:25] It's only under committee reports, certified,

[41:27] signed negotiations needed to confirm.

[41:30] Been busy?

[41:40] I think we've told the committee.

[41:42] Is there a schedule?
