Discussion:
The total levy asked is 1.049907 for 2022-2023 change in tax rate is 5% from the 2021-2022 school year
A special meeting to set the final tax request was held on Monday Sept 26, 2022 in Blair as a county wide community budget meeting. Public comment was held at the final tax request meeting. Public publications were sent out for all meetings. The budget was presented and passed at a prior meeting- Matt asked the president what other information was needed from the budget for the purpose of the tax levy- if we went back to a lesser levy of .956 we would end up with a $400,000 shortfall in the original budget passed. It would cause issues with personnel and finances, the budget would need to be amended. Dr Lewis addressed the board and said there were many items cut with costs already and she wasn't sure where to cut more in the budgeted figures. Shanon asked that we take a look and see if there is a happy medium and it is just hard to ask for more taxes from everyone - it is a very difficult time. Dr Lewis said that 1.05 was the happy medium that was decided on in the finance committee meetings on the budget. In the future years, the levy could be less due to bond refunding, it will be paid off and there will be less debt in the upcoming years. Budget needs to be submitted to the state by Oct. The budget hearing will be October 10 before regular board meeting |

Discussion:
Dr Lewis initiated a zoom with Mike Langner with Boyd Jones, and a telephone conversation with Todd Kisinzki from Boyd Jones
reviewed the change order on the helical piles with an additional costs on the project. Estimate was given at the beginning of project but after the drilling began two of the piles were much deeper than expected. Origianally they had a more conservative safety cost. Engineers wanted to make sure that the footings were deep enough to make sure that new addition did not have any movement in the future. |
