But we do have a couple of other ones we're going to do so. First of all, I do want to call up chem Prater. 9 00:01:19,345 --> 00:01:27,854 She She has a spotlight that she's going to do a special Spotlight, so go right ahead. 10 00:01:38,131 --> 00:01:38,598 Good evening, everybody. 11 00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:43,069 Tonight, I am joined by Mrs Tammy overmeyer, who 12 00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:57,150 recently was a recipient of our John Dalton award, and so I just have a few nice things I'd love to say about her. Um, but it will never be enough for everything she's done for Mrs Cinema over the years. 13 00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:12,232 All right, tonight's my privilege to recognize Mrs Tammy overmeier as a new outstanding educator and a recipient of the John Belton award in the four years that I've had the opportunity to work with Mrs overmearch, she is consistently 14 00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:27,112 stood out as a quiet, strong, and Incredibly experienced leader. With 34 years of service to Mrs Cinema Community Schools, Mrs overmeyer has taught kindergarten first grade and second grade, giving generations of students a foundation for their educational 15 00:02:27,112 --> 00:02:44,564 J. What makes Mrs Overmeyer? So does Irene of this award is the way she truly invests in people. She meets students where they are and comes alongside them to help them grow her students. Success and continued growth are absolutely 16 00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:51,538 evident, and her data. But her impact goes far beyond the numbers she supports 17 00:02:53,706 --> 00:02:57,876 students and families with an exceptional balance of care and high expectations. I love it. 18 00:02:57,876 --> 00:03:06,786 She builds genuine Partnerships with families in those relationships, a difference in the success of her students. 19 00:03:06,786 --> 00:03:19,565 Mrs overmeyer's impact also extends well beyond her own classroom. She is an absolute collaborative teammate who is willing to share her experience, supports her colleagues, and works alongside others to create positive outcomes for across our entire School Community. She 20 00:03:19,565 --> 00:03:23,703 is someone others can look to 21 00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:38,083 as a model of what it means to be an excellent teacher and teammate. And if you know, Mrs Overmeyer, you know that her commitment doesn't end when the school day does.

The story 23 00:03:57,103 --> 00:04:06,478 this award is especially meaningful. John Dalton credited his teacher with preparing him to be successful in life, and this award was created to recognize Educators who make that kind of difference in the lives of students, I believe. 24 00:04:06,478 --> 00:04:12,384 Mrs overmeyer absolutely embodies that Spirit and she invests in her students, their families, and her colleagues. 25 00:04:12,384 --> 00:04:28,501 She gives her time shares her experience, sets high expectations and beliefs in the people around her.

Every time we have a conversation about Grants and everything with the area superintendents. 41 00:08:18,264 --> 00:08:36,716 » MCSC Board Room: And I politely say no. So great job, uh, no, that's it for our spotlights for this evening. So, uh, you're more than welcome to head out to the hallway and get some quick photos and enjoy the rest of your evening. 42 00:08:53,699 --> 00:09:08,714 Do we have, uh, public comment, uh, none? For agenda items or non-agenda items? Uh, I'm five consent agenda. Yeah, Mr President. We asked the board to approve, approve, uh, the following consent agenda items listed below at this time. 43 00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:27,533 I make a motion to approve the agenda items for consent. The minutes to clean requests. Um, the child nutrition program procurement plan, the recommendations to approve the policy analytics contract renewal for 2026 and 27. And the recommendation to approve 44 00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:31,137 the hope Behavioral Services. 45 00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:43,382 Many mirandum of understanding, as possessed well, second. Any questions or comments? Yeah, it was in favor. Signified bye. 46 00:09:43,382 --> 00:10:00,833 Which carries? I'm six. We're gonna start with a bond least hearing. Yeah. So, at this time, Mr President, we just need to open a bond lease hearing. To hear any any comments? We do not have we have no comments. We have no comments, so I can't 47 00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:10,476 give a little bit of update regarding the just this Bond lease just for the board and and for the community. 48 00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:18,517 Last. I think it was July or June of May, June of 20. 49 00:10:20,619 --> 00:10:28,594 the board authorized, um, 28.2 million dollars. We issued approximately 12.2 of that last year, which which is what's currently being utilized. 50 00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:40,640 For the West, View cafeteria expansion and high school restroom remodels. We also going to use a portion of that next spring and summer. 51 00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:58,090 To renovate Northviews playground and add additional parking to the west side of Northview as well. Originally, part of that project was also tennis courts and some other work. We've pulled those off at this point in time because we're looking at, um. Remodeling the 52 00:10:58,090 --> 00:11:11,003 inside of the high school. So, what we are doing at this point we have about? Four and a half to five million dollars. Of that 12.2, still remaining once this Project's done could be a little bit more once we get through. 53 00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:23,148 Um, all of our contingency budget. We see where we end up in interest earned on on the dollars that we have in the bank, uh, but we're going to issue this remaining approximately 16 million dollars, and that's what this bond lease is regarding. So 54 00:11:23,148 --> 00:11:36,395 that we can renovate. 85,000 of the 200,000 square feet at the high school, um? It's not an addition. We're not adding square footage. We are. 55 00:11:36,395 --> 00:11:42,401 Recapturing, uh, from? 56 00:11:52,978 --> 00:12:03,923 » MCSC Board Room: Sort of. The 2930 school year will be able to move 7th and 8th grade over to to the high school. So, this project has taken priority, so we have, like, I said, we have the 16 million from this. 57 00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:09,729 This, uh, bonds that we're going to issue here in the next couple of months? 58 00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:24,476 We have five million from the existing 12.2 that gives us about 21 million. We really need about 23. As what we need to be able to remodel the high school, um, so right now, we're about two million short to be able to get it, get it remodeled the way that that we 59 00:12:24,476 --> 00:12:37,322 need to. We have we have been able to identify a section of classrooms that we would have to to cut off, um, but it doesn't make make sense for us to do that if we can avoid it, um. So this does put us in good place, but the problem is is tennis 60 00:12:37,322 --> 00:12:46,331 courts. We don't have that in the project right now. Any of our projects at this point in time and so that's something that we're going to have to look at for some temporary repairs. 61 00:12:46,331 --> 00:13:01,546 Unfortunately, we start looking at, um. Prioritizing needs. We have to prioritize the needs of 8 A.M to 3 P.M ahead of anything from from 3 P.M to 8 P.M. That's just that's. That's the reality of it it so. We're going to look at that this spring and see what kind of 62 00:13:01,546 --> 00:13:07,319 repairs we can make to the tennis court for the time being. 63 00:13:07,319 --> 00:13:19,532 Just to get through because we do have some some pretty massive craters in that that tennis court. So, um? We've got to work through that, but unfortunately, findings very, very, very tight. 64 00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:36,014 But by getting this moved over to the high school that will save us approximately a million dollars per year. By not occupying RJ basket, so that's a. That's a savings that's going to add up and pay dividends in the future in terms of maintaining. three student 65 00:13:36,014 --> 00:13:48,226 buildings rather than four student buildings in the future, so. So, yeah, that's that, so I don't think we, unless we have any comments we can close the hearing unless you guys have anything as well. Questions or comments or anything before. 66 00:13:48,226 --> 00:13:56,836 Just another thing, Jeremy, to make sure for public that people understand. This is completely separate from the best the referenda 67 00:13:57,903 --> 00:14:13,919 correct, and that this this money can't be used or anything else to do with operations correct. Absolutely, absolutely correct this. This is all debt service funds, um. Concerning concerning part for us is, this is really all the the. 68 00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:18,156 debt bonding capacity that we have until about 2040. I mean. 69 00:14:18,156 --> 00:14:27,933 So, I mean, really, when you start thinking about HVAC and everything like that, we we need the operating referendum to pass, um? It, and we need the operational funding so that we can just maintain HVAC stuff going in the future. So, we're 70 00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:40,812 not going to be able to bond that we're not going to have the funds. And we're already at our our limit. The state sets the limit at 70 cents. For your your debt service fine. Before you have to go for a referendum, any projects that we do in the 71 00:14:40,812 --> 00:14:47,419 future beyond. This would have to go to a referendum vote at that point in time. And so. 72 00:14:47,419 --> 00:14:59,531 We're in a tough spot. We're going to be on a tough spot, but we're doing everything we can to consolidate. Buildings and services to to get some money together. Um, but yes, they're completely separate. Had a conversation with somebody here 73 00:14:59,531 --> 00:15:15,747 recently actually Saturday, uh about, uh, the operating referendum. They were still thinking it was a 50, 60, 70, 80 million dollar referendum related to facilities, and I was like, no, no, this is a the operating referendum is it's two million dollars per year 74 00:15:15,747 --> 00:15:29,894 maximum for eight years, so 16 million dollars over eight years is what it is, and the capital referendum is is no longer happening. So, yeah, completely separate separate buckets of money to to separate, can't be, can't be used. We cannot use 75 00:15:29,894 --> 00:15:43,676 this. This 16 million dollars cannot be used to pay light bills, um, run buses. Um, can't, can't be done. Um, I always ever chance we get to do that I want to say yes, yes. 76 00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:53,686 and you. We can use it to buy buses, but that's not a problem that we have, so we we have. We have our problem putting fuel in buses and pay an insurance on buses. We can't use that service to to pay for that 77 00:15:58,857 --> 00:16:03,829 Is that all we need for the hearing? That's it. 78 00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:06,064 Adam D will adopt resolution authorizing execution of lease. 79 00:16:06,064 --> 00:16:09,868 Yeah, Mr President, 80 00:16:10,969 --> 00:16:15,841 uh, recommend that the board adopt the resolution authorizing execution of lease. 81 00:16:19,011 --> 00:16:31,056 Mr President.

We have a fee schedule. We just never use it quite honestly unless it's a completely kind of off the wall outside organization. I think 105 00:19:54,426 --> 00:20:04,569 we've had some people that have wanted to do wrestling things here, like a wrestling event, and some of those we've charged for some of that stuff Typically, the only things we charge for custodial fees we don't actually actually charge for the facilities typically. 106 00:20:04,569 --> 00:20:17,649 However. Uh, going into next year. Budgets are getting tight with. This is something we're going to have to look at. 107 00:20:20,752 --> 00:20:35,200 Um, without passing of the operating referendum.

And the motion of my Chris Cunningham suck my Crouch. 118 00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:40,158 All those my favorite signify behind. Pushing carries item I approve of school resource officer memorandum of understanding, or officer real. 119 00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:47,532 So, I'm going to give a little bit of explanation regarding this one, so two different pay. 120 00:22:48,733 --> 00:22:53,705 Um, makeups between officer Fields and and officer real officer Fields is a retired. 121 00:22:53,705 --> 00:23:06,651 Sheriff's deputy, so he does not receive benefits and correct me if I'm rolling any of this story. You know this on the back of your hand? So we, he actually has paid out of our payroll directly, um. And there are no benefits, so he just gets 122 00:23:06,651 --> 00:23:10,822 an hourly rate. However, we do have 123 00:23:11,923 --> 00:23:20,832 to have a, uh, mou, with a law enforcement agency for in order legally in order for him to be an SRO. So that's why we have the mou for officer Fields, but we 124 00:23:21,933 --> 00:23:22,533 pay him to directly, um officer. 125 00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:34,045 Real is is a current active, uh, police officer, so he is in the process of. I think he has two to three years left until he retire so. 126 00:23:37,115 --> 00:23:43,889 And it's been set up that way for a couple years now. Um. 127 00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:59,337 However, until recently, we recently just discovered he was working for us about 180 days a year. However, we were, he's able to work 206 days a year, so he, the city, was getting him for 26 days, and we were paying for those 26 days for salary 128 00:23:59,337 --> 00:24:12,551 and benefit. So, we've worked out something where he can, who's 26 days and this is, this is in the mou as well. Those 26 days, if he works in athletic event that counts as a half a day of work. So, essentially, we can get security, He's going to 129 00:24:12,551 --> 00:24:17,421 work 52 events of security per year without us being billed by by the the city for that. Um. 130 00:24:17,421 --> 00:24:22,394 We. 131 00:24:24,496 --> 00:24:37,576 If this doesn't pass when I say this, if the operating referendum doesn't pass, we're going to have to. In our mou with with officer real for officer real, it's just it's a large expense. I don't know what off the top of my head per year 130, 140, 000 132 00:24:37,576 --> 00:24:54,826 approximately. Is what we pay for salary and benefits for his position alone. Um, so that's a position that we won't be able to afford. Without the operating referendum, I've already sent that notice to. 133 00:24:54,826 --> 00:24:59,831 Um, chief Houston and the city as well, just to make them aware that and not only in pretty much immediately, unfortunately. 134 00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:03,534 So, that's just a harsh reality there. So same thing with this. 135 00:25:03,534 --> 00:25:17,015 This memorandum of understanding that I want you guys to be aware of before you approve it is we did clean up some language in there. I do think long term we need to look through that, uh, mou, to come up with some. 136 00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:31,929 Uh, better partnership language between us and the city. For us to be paying 100 of salary and benefits is not sustainable for us. We really don't necessarily need him for 206 days, but if we're going to be paying for 206 days, I want to get 206 days 137 00:25:31,929 --> 00:25:36,101 of workout of them. I think that's that's just fair, um? 138 00:25:36,101 --> 00:25:58,390 We went three years without that or two years, I should say without that. So, at this time, unless there's any questions I would ask for approval of the school resource officer, memorandum of understanding for officer real. Questions. Uh, entertain a motion. Mr. 139 00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:07,365 Proved to the school resource officer in that memorandum of understanding the official Rio escorts. 140 00:26:10,568 --> 00:26:24,516 I don't know.

I would say. But just keep the family and thoughts and prayers regarding that. Um. Referentum related absentee ballots are going out, so I would encourage folks to keep their eye in their mail if they sign up for an absentee ballot. Those will be coming 177 00:32:34,084 --> 00:32:42,293 out, um. If you do have an absentee ballots, or you're going to the early voting dates 178 00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:59,477 which are October 24th and October 31st, from 8 A.M to 3 P.M at Westview Wesleyan Church. Just pay attention. The referendum question is public question number three on on the ballot. There are actually two other public questions from the state. 179 00:33:00,578 --> 00:33:09,487 If you live in Mr Walk Community Schools, you will see. In our district, you will see at the precinct or on your absentee ballot. 180 00:33:10,621 --> 00:33:11,188 Early vote or whatever you do. 181 00:33:11,188 --> 00:33:13,357 You will see the referendum on public question the referendum on public question number three. 182 00:33:13,357 --> 00:33:17,628 So, pay attention for that. 183 00:33:20,731 --> 00:33:32,676 We met with Jill and I met with, uh, policy analytics today to review our 2027 assessed value report, uh, on the, and we're going to update our referendum This is, this is good news. Um. 184 00:33:32,676 --> 00:33:47,558 The calculator probably updated later this week, but with that adjustment with assessed valuation. Uh, came back better than than anticipated, uh? The question and the question's still going to be this way? A maximum rate of 49 and 1/2 cents 185 00:33:47,558 --> 00:33:49,894 per $100 of assessed valuation. 186 00:33:49,894 --> 00:34:09,147 Or, or a maximum two million dollars Levy. The rate actually next year will drop. It's going to be. It's going to drop by about six cents because of the assessed valuation, so the the rate the projected rate for 2027 for the referendum if approved is going to be 43. 187 00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:09,714 Sense, so 43 and a half cents. 188 00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:15,285 It's actually 0.4347. Um, and again, that's due to the assessed valuation and the different deductions in there. 189 00:34:15,285 --> 00:34:16,453 Um, they they projected out. 190 00:34:16,453 --> 00:34:21,125 They have projected out the, um. 191 00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:41,479 Uh, next eight years. It never Rises above 45 cents, um. On there, so unless something changes legislatively that would influence that. The rate will actually drop down into the 30 cents range in the latter part of the referendum last six, seven, and year six, seven, and 192 00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:58,429 eight. So that's how it's projecting right now. Um, so I just want to give people an update on that when that question was approved, we it's approved as quote unquote, worst case scenario, um, so two million or 49.5. Obviously, there's always changes with 193 00:34:58,429 --> 00:35:05,169 assess valuations and legislation and everything. But that's where where we're that's where where we're at now with that, so? Those are the updates that I have from export meeting Monday, October 26th. 194 00:35:05,169 --> 00:35:14,745 Deduction. So be here, be here, or we will come find you. 195 00:35:14,745 --> 00:35:19,784 Should we all like playing to like two minutes? 196 00:35:20,885 --> 00:35:24,922 Anything from anybody else? 197 00:35:24,922 --> 00:35:29,827 Not, I'll take motion for a German, so moved. 198 00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:33,931 Second.
