[laughter] >> Okay. >> How long will your presentation be on? >> Um, it's eight hours, but I don't think it's going to take. >> Okay. All right. Good. Thank you. >> Okay. Article 17, appropriation for one-time projects, the Dober master plan. uh planning board Kevin Bowman will be making a presentation and Dick Malcin um who uh Carol will you be making a presentation on this over the town planner >> is going to be making a presentation >> okay >> but I would like to spend about 60 seconds introducing >> okay sure right okay article 18 U is the modification to the accessory dwelling unit. Kevin Bowman will be making the motion. Dick Malcolin will be seconding. And again, we'll have a planning board presentation on that as well. Okay, very good. Um, is anybody in opposition to that? I haven't heard anything >> to to Yeah.
>> So no problem there because my recommendation would be that the board operate separately from Avuta. Um, you are a governance team um tasked with the district. So in recommendation from the California School Boards Association, they were the first reach out regarding the budget as I explained during the last board meeting and they indicated that they would be happy to sit side by side but they would only request that California um the School Services of California be the ones doing the budget. That's who they rely on. They are the um premier group in the state and they recommended them for the board training. So if if ABUTA and um the IBB process um bargaining team from the district agree that they want to utilize somebody else, we're more than happy to bring that forward for the board for approval at a later date. Um, we can separate out contracts with uh School Services of California to only support the board at this point and let the um bargaining unit come together um and work with the negotiating team because it's more than just while it's in ABUTA's um agreement that we would research that and support it, there is no direction as to which agency is utilized.
Anyone who knows Coach Bishop would agree that this recognition is welld deserved. Congratulations, coach. One more time, if you guys would shake hands, we'll take a picture. Thank you. >> Congratulations. >> Nice work. >> Well done, guys. >> Congratulations. >> You guys get up front. We'll figure it out after that. >> I wear heels, but it doesn't always >> You're good. Congratulations, Kimo. Next, we have some uh palm and cheer awards to hand out and some recognitions to give to some of our folks. Campo Verie, Coach Shay, are you here? >> Bring your team up. There you are. >> How are you? >> I'm good. How are you? >> Good. Hi, guys. >> Hi. Yeah, I expected that. That's all right. So, this is the information I have. You tell me if I'm wrong. Uh, Campovery Cheer won AIA Division 2 allgirl cheer state championship.
Forms for this purpose uh are forms available, John, tonight. >> They are. Okay. So, forms are available. And do you have those or does Kelly Kelly have those? >> Oh, okay. They're back there. I can't see who's waving, but they're back there. Will you please raise your hand? Oh, you did. Okay, great. >> Megan Burns 52 Street. Thank you, Megan. No more than two amendments can be on the floor at the same time. A vote is first taken on any amendments to a motion and then on the main motion itself. If more than one amendment is on the floor and the amendments include numbers or of units or lengths of time, our bylaws provide that the largest number of units and the longest lengths of time will be considered first. We will also be using consent agendas again this year on certain groups of articles or spending items.
It was the consultant's decision to compress the grades from 15 grades um down to five. >> That's what I somewhere in the back of my head. I was like, we used to have a lot more and now we're down to five. >> Right. >> And we're saying that didn't work. We're going back to 10, >> right? >> Maybe 15 was too many, but I think 10 is a >> You went too far the other way. >> Yeah, >> we tried it. >> Yeah, right. >> Thank you. Go ahead. >> Yes. Go to Indiana on that that causes compression issues when you have too few grades to separate their roles within hierarchy. We have overlap with um positions within an organization um with the reporting structure and positions within departments that could cause overlap and therefore compression with regard to status. that is the incremental increases employees receive each year as um the number of years that they're in the organization in in the town and as their years of service go on they get a higher rate of pay >> and and I think it's important to me overall benefit is a compensation system that's more equitable competitive and easier to manage over time.
to um 18. >> It's bringing it up to state standards. This is just updating the state law. But no, I just want to make sure they Okay. All right. Just in terms of a loting time. Okay. All right. So, we haven't heard any opposition to that. Okay. Fine. Now, article 19, um, site plan review, uh, town planner will make the presentation on behalf. And I know there's a party that's going to be making a presentation in opposition. Both of you, uh, I'll be limiting you to 10 minutes. Okay. uh the party that's in opposition. Um if you could get your PowerPoint, if you're going to use one to full issue by Thursday, close of business, is that okay? That would be great. >> Are you are you going to have a presentation, do you think? >> I think slides. >> Okay. Great. Um and Jim on this one we after um some discussion I think the >> um proposal is to break up the um amendments into different sections into different motions.
Um, the fact finder the media the um the the what's the term I'm looking for Dustin? Um, the mediator um indicated School Services was um who they believed should be there but that was in the room with us and so I don't know what was stated otherwise um but to delay the board's work would be inappropriate. I believe you should move forward to get um what I indicated as a healthy understanding and make us a more functional governance team. So Absolutely and I just want to point out that this decision that was proposed and then uh con you know affirmed by the board was made in conjunction with um our agreement um with Avuta and so that's the only reason they're connected to this is because the initial idea came from hey we're having them come anyways for this, we can have them do this.
Congratulations. Coach, you want to have your team introduce themselves and then you can talk about them? >> Yeah. Or do you want me to talk about them first? >> It's up to you. You have the mic. Um, all right. So, yes, we're the division 2 um AIA state champions. Um, first in school history, so we made history. So, we have that on our rings and on our shirt. Um, I've been at Campo, this is my fifth season at Campo, and we have now three banners in our gym um to represent AIA state champions and state runner-ups. So, I'm super proud of these girls. Um, we've got girls on this team also with a national championship as well. Um, so just in my five years at Campo, um, these girls have just really trusted me and I appreciate that and we've grown tremendously. So, um, I congratulate them as well and our administration for supporting us through all that.
We have three consent agendas. The first consent agenda covers articles 1 through eight. The second consent agenda covers the five capital items in article 10 which are to be paid from free cash. The third consent agenda covers the article 11 items which address equipment, supplies, and service purchases to be paid from free cash. For each consent agenda, there will be a single motion covering all items. There will be no debate on the motion, but if anyone wants to comment on or has a question about one of the articles or line items contained in the consent agenda, you may call a hold on that article or line item when I read its title. I will then remove that article or line item from the consent agenda. We will address it separately following the vote on the non-held articles or line items. For each held article or line item, there will be a separate motion from advisory and an opportunity for full debate followed by a vote.
It supports recruitment and retention and creates clearer progression between roles and provides more transparent framework for compensation decisions. Implementation can be approached in a way that works in the town. That may include budgeting over multiple years, updating position descriptions, aligning internal policies, and communicating clearly with staff throughout the process. In summary, this study gives the town a road map for updating its classification compensation system. It identifies where the current structure can be improved and provides practical recommendations to strengthen competitiveness, internal equity, and long-term sustainability.
So there's going to be four separate motions that correspond with uh various sections of the bylaw that are being amended. >> Okay. So, um, so that you're not going to be able then to actually modify the main motion. You're going to have to is the main motion as it was printed. Um, right. I was just wondering if we can avoid having to go through an amendment process. This is the planning board amending its own motion. Right. >> The pling board is not amending its motion. It's it's separating the article into into four motions. >> Okay. >> So, it'll be four main motions. So the first motion will simply be I move that the town amend section 185-5 definitions of the zoning bylaw as shown in the document on file with the office of the town clerk. >> Okay. >> So then you'll vote the changes on section five.
And in light of our money in our district right now, I think that's something to consider because that influenced my vote in the consensus uh that we were already having someone come in so we'll just have them do this too. I thought oh that's good, you know, we can accomplish two things under the same dollar. Um, but now it seems like we're going to be doing double dollars. So that does concern me especially in light of our uh recent rifts, uh our budgetary concerns um and I thought it was important to bring that forward. >> [clears throat] >> So there being no further business to come before the Board of Trustees, it is recommended that the meeting be adjourned. >> Wait, future agenda items. Did we get to those because I know we addressed that what is there other things that So I have some future agenda items I'd like added um if I may.
So, and the change. So, um, I'll let them introduce themselves. Hi, my name is Mia Shay and I am a senior. Hi, my name is Paige Dilly and I'm a junior. Hi, I'm Brooke and I'm a freshman. Hi, I'm Emma and I'm a junior. >> Hi, I'm Parker and I'm a sophomore. >> Hi, I'm Chloe and I'm a sophomore. >> Hi, I'm Bren and I'm a junior. I'm Brinley and I'm a junior. >> I'm Ava and I'm a senior. And this goes for all of our pal and cheer and all of our athletes here. The work you guys put in is tremendous. And I don't think people quite understand the hours that it takes and the precision that it takes to become state champions. And uh I just want to commend you on a great season and looking forward to seeing you guys repeat next year.
We will follow a similar process with the reading of the omnibus budget in article 9 with the opportunity for anyone to call a hold on any line item that I read after which we will take a single vote on all non-held budget line items and then if any line items are held, debate and vote separately on each held line item. Again, anyone who wants to discuss a particular article or line item in a consent agenda or the omnibus budget simply needs to call a hold when I read the title of the article or the line item, and I will set it aside for discussion and a separate vote after all non-held articles are voted. As a last procedural point, I will read only the number of each article or line item and a title that summarizes the article or the line item. The full text of each article or line item to be voted appears in the advisory committee report as does advisor's recommended vote and the reasoning behind it.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the town and be happy to answer any questions at this time. >> So, I appreciate, you know, the work that was done. The report was really comprehensive and I actually um had sent a couple of questions ahead of time that I was interested in understanding. Um and and I understand town meeting is next week. So I had said in my email, you don't feel as though you need to answer my questions today. But um you know the one question which is answered here is I wanted to understand the budgetary impact um and and what our approach was because clearly we have many positions that are below market and I wasn't surprised by this finding based upon what we had to do to hire qualified candidates for oppositions. So I think we all expected the town would have to overhaul somewhat the the um the um >> compensation.
>> Okay. >> And then it'll go to sections 9 and 10 will be voted together and then section and section 40. >> Okay. the language in section 36. Um the amendment there will be updated slightly to make one change to the um document that's on file with the town clerk. >> Okay. >> But we've drafted that already. >> Okay. And um after each of these motions, we'll have discussion. And now which motion in particular Carol did you want to are you going to present on all on all all of them together or are you are you going to talk to each separately or >> so to present >> I'm sorry to present the entire >> Okay okay okay so [clears throat] >> okay you say that again >> I'm sorry John >> I can't hear it >> okay >> the plan is to make one presentation by the town planner >> for for all the four motions >> and then do them separately.
I would like to add a discussion action item regarding rules of order uh be added to the April 28th. Um >> That would be today. >> Oh, that's that's right. So now we're looking at the May 7th. Uh the May meetings are both packed with all of our recognition for our students for throughout the year as well as our retirees and honoring those as well. May I suggest that um since you're going to be working with California School Boards Association that you bring that as one of the first topics for them and work through that for governance training. >> That makes more sense. So that you start the year with um this as part of the discussion. If that would um please the board, I can make sure that that's something for them to be um mindful of right off the bat. I I I'm actually quite concerned that we have no um established rules of order.
Can you do it? >> That's Can you do it? >> Yes. >> Okay, there you go. Give him one more hand if you guys would shake boards with the shake hands with the board. Thank you, Christine. Congratulations. Let me see this ring. That's awesome. >> Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> Congratulations. Yeah. >> So on our ring we have >> still waiting. I'm still waiting for the first cheer team that comes up and does a pyramid. had a pyramid. >> No. See, >> got my senior. >> That's why you're the coach. Thank you. >> Congratulations again. >> Next up, could I have Gilbert High Palm Coach Dr. Whitley come up? Anybody with you tonight? >> No. It's >> all right. >> Hi, coach. >> Hi, Dr. White. Greetings. >> I'm Dr. McCord. Look at three doctors. >> Well, you guys are here because you did something pretty cool, right?
We will be using electronic voting at this evening's meeting. Every eligible voter who checked in this evening should have received a handset with a keypad to be used for electronic voting. It's a new style this year, but works very similarly to what we've had in the past couple of town meetings. Uh, the way the voting works is for each boat vote, you push the button with the number that corresponds with the vote you want to cast. Press one for yes, press two for no. If if your vote is confirmed by the okay in the upper right corner, um, your vote to change your vote, you simply vote again. and the last vote you submit will be tabulated as your vote. Your votes are completely anonymous. There is no record of which handset is issued to which voter. As you leave, please deposit your handset in the boxes provided at the exits.
Uh you know one of the questions I did have because we are we are facing budgetary pressure >> recording in progress >> from all ends. So I was asking you know do we have is it is it difficult for us to hire people without um you know without without increasing salaries and and also and then I was wondering what percentage of our employees leave because their compensation is below Do you want me to start to answer that a little bit? So, um, Robin and I appreciate Robin Hunter bringing to our attention. Robin and I met to kind of go over them. The one is um you know the personnel board as part of their discussions as you said was very clear we were below market but being cognizant of our budget they made a conservative decision which was not to make a major market adjustment all at once and instead to move every employee um to the new proposed pay scale but only at the next highest step.
