That the conservation commission has jurisdiction over activities that alter flood plane. Two, uh three, the site is contaminated. Four, the site is within the 100 and 200 foot riverfront area. Uh those are the four uh facts that we agreed on. we were unable to come to an agreement on the fifth fact which was the site and the buildings have flooded historically. Um, having said that the or to that point, we did receive for the record an email from the um, president of the Ashlin Historical Society with regard to the pictures that we showed at the last hearing um, authenticating that they were pictures of uh, the Lombard building which is 10 to 60 Main Street and that they were the property of the Ashlin Historical Society. So that is now part of the record. We then again um set a sequence for discussion topics of discussion which were uh one contamination two storm water three flood plane and four wetlands and riverfront.
>> Comment. >> Okay. Member Tra. >> Um, so this is a lot of information to digest and questions. So I'm going to plug the budget and finance subcommittee meeting a week from today, next Monday, 11:30 in the afternoon at central offices, which is at the middle school and also on Zoom. So, uh, any members of the public are more than welcome to come and ask more questions or if they can't make it or if anyone on the committee has questions after the fact, by all means, email me your questions so that we can try to get answers for them. So, don't feel like you are limited to just this moment right now. You're on the spot. Questions are bust. Thank you. Okay, hearing that, I'll do one more call. Does anyone have question? I don't want you to sit here and rack your brain if you don't have them fully formed right now.
And so, there's people who really remember sort of the distinction. But again, going back to point where things aren't revealed is is really definitely sort of moving in I don't I don't think anybody's saying that, but I think >> Well, this legislation is. >> Well, but the if if if you're going to if we're not going to find a compromise, then that's what it's going to be, right? Potentially, if we keep moving this bill. So, of course, hopefully we we can be more more proactive and take a look at what else can we do, right? Because if the solution is take it or leave it, at some point, you know, about the legislature is about figuring out, okay, what's the middle ground, right? Again, if there's a way to identify something, we're we're all ears, and I would not be opposed to it. I would, again, emphasize that um it does go to somewhat public transparency and accountability and confidence as was indicated earlier.
7.2 is the approval of our close session uh meeting minutes from February 17, 2026. 7.3 is the approval of our monthly payroll and bills. 7.4 is approval of donations. Uh they're listed on the screen and we're definitely grateful for their generous donations from all those organizations. Uh 7.5 is the approval of our monthly personnel report. 7.6 is the approval of the destruction of the close session recordings uh from August 20th, 2024. 7.7 is the approval of our 2026 2027 NIA contract. 7.8 8 is the approval of the Fox Valley Career Center joint agreement. 7.9 is the approval of the classroom use agreement with Mid Valley Special Education Cooperative. And 7.10 is the approval to purchase uh fiscal year 27 elementary school supplies. >> All right. Thank you.
We have we have it, but we should make sure >> like the resume look at everything and then interview on the 20th. I guess. Yeah, the goal is to do interviews on April 20th before the regular board meeting. We don't like to have a gap, so >> Right. You You can, it just takes time. We did have a lot of Okay. Um in other news, uh we went to most of us went to the North Cook division meeting and um the topic was school funding, what does education funding look like for Illinois this year? Um in a word, bleak, um which most of you in this room, if not all of you in the room, know already know that. Um but it was interesting to hear um what is potentially in the works legislatively, um what's possible, what's not possible. Um unfortunately, there's a lot of waiting going on until things can be figured out in the general assembly.
So with that all being said any questions on any of these topics that I could address? >> Do you have any projections on the number of kids who that might we might be servicing from this development? >> That has been the great challenge in this TIF is that there really isn't a long range plan associated with it. There's a lot of potential potential ideas and plans inside of it. So even areas where they're talking about it could be housing. We don't know if it'll be senior targeted, senior restricted, if it'll just be general housing, what type of housing options they'll offer there. So that's why this is really built that way to offer like we get a certain cut off the top if it becomes residential that impacts us we get a higher cut of that and there's even openers to go to the table and discuss impact if there's a greater number of students than we can absorb as a result of any new residential areas.
Um we're working on the master facility plan. You've engaged the demographer. Um I think there's some checklist items that he may have just sent to Alan today that the district needs to provide to him. Um but the next biggest thing that we're going to ask is that a a core team of um people be assembled to help guide the uh decision making on the master facility plan and some of the curriculum pieces and some of the new program pieces, and um maybe even consider um some community participation for that. Um and then uh some of our actions that are coming up, we've toured now all of the facilities. Um our team is putting together all of that data. It'll probably take us, you know, a little while to digest it all, and then we'd like to come back again and meet with the next level of administrators, the curriculum, the superintendents, anybody who's available to um to come meet with us, and I guess that that that point, you know, like Dan and we'll have to kind of work on who is part of that team and what is that core decision-making group.
>> Hearing none. Roll call, please. >> Miss Wolf. I >> Dr. Hall >> I >> Mr. Sualish >> I >> Miss Venegas >> I >> Zit Stumbresses and I Mr. Gagos >> I >> Mr. Brown >> I motion carry and thank you Dr. Cogniss for doing another exceptional job for this fiscal year appreciate all you do and your team. Okay, moving on. Number eight under action report, Bravo personnel and culture. Number two, could I have a motion to approve the re employment of first and secondyear teachers? >> Moved. >> Second. >> Got moved by Jamie, second by Bill. Questions or comments? If not, roll call, please. Madam Secretary, >> Mr. Salish, >> I. >> Dr. Hall, >> I. >> Miss Venegas, >> I. >> Miss Wolf, >> I >> Zites is an I. Mr. Gagos, >> I. >> Mr. Brown, >> I. Motion carry. Moving on.
Um you know, we tried a referendum. It was not successful. If we want to even think about doing a referendum, we have some deadlines that we have to meet. Um and I want to do some additional investigation on those deadlines and whether those are things that we can actually even get to with this late start. Uh Jim, would you remind me maybe we don't um would you remind me generically how much we spent on the referendum last time? Jim, I don't need exact numbers, but can you give us >> Yeah, total was roughly $89,000. >> [clears throat] >> So again, I I am we we certainly could not invest that kind of money in it. Not not saying we financially. If we feel like we can do that, I shouldn't say that. We can't. Uh but that would just drain us even further. Um but I would like to have the board's blessing to either look into that or take that off the table at some point in the near future.
That's all I have. Uh items from board members? Congratulations, thank you to the third grade teachers. Great job and and those that are um under the third grade teachers that prepared them. So. Great job. Second that. It's [clears throat and snorts] great to see that information, too. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, thanks for sharing. Any others? Motion to adjourn? I move we adjourn. Second. Moved by Amy, seconded by Gina to adjourn the meeting. All those in favor say aye. Aye. >> Aye. Opposed? Motion passes 7-0. Meeting adjourned. Thank everybody. Thank you all for coming.
at this program that also I think we have some students that are visiting this evening and as a custom we would ask you to come to the microphone identify yourself and tell us what school you're visiting us from. >> So step up and say hello. >> Hi, I'm Taylor Daly. I'm a junior at Memorial. >> Thank you for being here. I know we got more. Don't be shy. I know. >> I know. Hi, my name is Isabelle Y and I'm a sophomore at Memorial. >> My name is Cory Utson. I'm a senior at North High School. >> Hi, I'm Ethan Farenbacher and I'm also a sophomore at Memorial. >> Hello, my name is Nelson Lou and I'm a junior at North High School. >> My name is AJ Shiny Vosen. I'm a sophomore at Memorial. My name is Lance Smith. I'm a senior at North.
Next item on the agenda relates to financing of our construction project. Can I have a motion? Do we have you have something you can present to us or? >> No, I don't have anything to present to you, but if you'd like to just share a little bit about what they are. So, the first one is the resolution determine the need for project lease financing. So, um this is uh required um by code 47-3 the school board must determine that there's a need for a project the need for the project we're talking about back roof deer meadow so continue conversation again no final decisions have been made or set in stone we'll continue those conversations before um before selling so as part of that we're kind of setting the maximum number maximum threshold we can always come in below that. So, this is the first resolution in order to kind of move forward that process.
What is there a process by which someone could go back and and get this get the money that they are owed? How is that communicated to the Sure. Yeah. A lot of these have already been resolved through other processes such as maybe an invoice being again a duplicate invoice and we just need permission from the board to clean it up. And if not, this certainly we could always clean something up after the fact. This just cleans up our our checking accounts and and allows us to move forward clean books. So, if someone sees their name on that list, what do they do? >> if they see their name on that list and they think they're owed some money, they should reach out to our business department and we we will look into that. Yes. Thank you. Absolutely. Before before the two years is up. Any other questions, board?
Following that we had a a request for documents uh which included the RAM report which is a release abatement report. Um we asked for a peer review for wetlands. We asked for a peer review for storm water. We asked for a peer review of the uh RAM report itself. Um and we asked for all correspondence between the applicant, the LSP, the D and the EPA regarding the RAM report. Um I believe that the applicant agreed to uh uh at least to consider peer reviews for wetlands and for storm water. was looking for um scope of work from the conservation commission. There was not an agreement as to a peer review for the RAM report at that time. We then scheduled a site visit for um Saturday the 21st and um and then we set a date for this meeting. And that's all we have for this uh hearing to this point.
>> We will. Okay. We'll be back next Wednesday. Great. Um, okay. So, if you have questions that pop up in your study of these documents between now and then, either email an or email the superintendent and we will find those answers. Um, and maybe even generate new questions. Who's to say? Um, but I want to thank everyone for coming out. Thank everyone for listening, for your attention. Um, I think that we have to vote to close a public hearing and then we vote to actually adjourn a meeting. Is that accurate? All right. Well, that's what we're going to do just in case. Um, all right. Please call the role to close the public hearing. >> Chair Ston, >> yep. >> Secretary Webb, yes. Vice Chair Childs, >> yes. >> Member Deniv, >> yes. >> Mayor Disorger, >> yes. and member Dyman. >> Yes. >> All right.
And so, you know, there is that feature of it. So, I think it is identifying are we concretely losing people such that we can't find qualified applicants to be part of this process. Um and still trying to keep that level of confidence in the decision-making that's going on. Um And that is a balance, right? >> Well, it's always a balance and I think when you take a look at if if you saw what how long it's taking them to fill some of these region seats, they've just extended the Hoy region like three, four times, right? I think we're going to end up with that in the Maui region's position. And so, I think I don't know, but at some point we got to take a look at what are the levers that people are concerned about it because this is a salient topic right now that the board is trying to push, right?
Anyone have any questions? >> I was curious what the $3,000 donation for postp promia is used for. So, the donation is used to help secure the facility site uh in the costs associated with that. Um it goes into some of the refreshments and supplies to provide everybody uh for the evening as well. >> I think you mentioned that like the parents kind of plan this or the parents. >> Yeah, this is a parentled initiative. Uh but we're kind of like the the ways and means group, you know, we help them. >> Yeah. I volunteered at the event. Help the kids come in and park safely, but it's a great night. It's after prom. It's a safe space. They're bowling, playing putt putt, and roller skating. So, yeah, >> it's a really great night. Yeah. >> Uh and then, um how does the district furnish transportation for the Fox Valley Career Center programs?
Um but more exciting, um we had our very own Mrs. Garrett not being honored for being a delegate, and then we had um Mrs. Duckman and Mr. Burton um acknowledged as distinguished um members with of annual merits while we were at our presentation. So, congratulations to the three of them. Um finally, I went to Forest for their third and fourth grade singing, and it was adorable as always, so that was [laughter] fun. Uh the Youth Commission had fun fair over the weekend. District 62 did participate. Um all of you had fun. We expect to see that picture of you guys with that big snake posted soon. So, thank you all for participating. I So, I am going to Springfield next week. I do have another session on Friday. Um what they're doing is they're actually scheduling our appointments with the legislators and then giving us um topics.
>> And this development would impact South enrollment? Is that right? >> Yes. >> Okay, it's all on South enrollment. >> Okay. >> And the incentives from this plan when they come back to the district is just the district as a whole. It's not as though we're allocating those funds directly to South. >> Correct. These would come through their it's its own independent funding mechanism. >> Okay. >> Uh of the TIF would would pay us directly as a result of these changes should increment new money be generated as a result of the development. If there's no new money generated as a result of it none of it there's nothing to pay us with, right? So uh it's just a lot of a lot of mechanics should development occur, should new revenue be generated uh in that TIF district and should that be generated from residential property we get a larger portion of the revenue that's generated.
Um and then we'll go back and update some things and review it with you. I think that the demographer report had a 10 8 to 10 week duration time after they received the signed proposal, so that probably puts us around the end of May, beginning of June. So, at that point, when we get that data, we can really start to analyze all the data that we've gathered so far against um what's been projected. And that kind of sets us up with the ability to start exploring options, see where we are, and explore those options about what we need to do with the challenges that are discovered during that evaluation um in July-ish. So, the full team is on board at that point.
