Um, so in front of you this evening is a resolution to to commit fund balance. So, with the district our sides, there's Ed Code that says any fund balance that's over 10% has to have a purpose. Um, so this evening I'm bringing forward a document for you um, to commit $12 million, $4 million for textbook adoption. Um, as we saw we just had junior high math, secondary math will be following that. Um, as well as uh, plan deficit spending of $8 million. So, we are in um, declining enrollment looking forward at programming um, moving forward. So, we want to commit some of those dollars acknowledging that we will be using those to cover deficits in future years.
Jangy family, DeJarry family in process, and Mallett family. Yeah. I I mean, I think that's done do good job of laying out uh the rationale here. Um you know, this is the third meeting I think we've talked third or fourth meeting we've talked about it. Um if I can understand um what some of the concerns are um No, I'm I'm fine. I just >> beyond this. For me I mean, I you know, the rest of the policy I'm fine with. I mean, the costs are the costs. I mean, that's what it's going to be. Um I was just concerned that because again, going through the town manager's office, um I agree it needs to be consistent and whoever's going to be managing it and enforcing it. I did That was my only question that it was going through the town manager's office. That's all. I'm fine with the rest of the policy.
>> Yep. That she she reached by an era as well by the third baseman. >> And uh game changer. It says a hit actually. >> Oh, they gave her a hit on gave her a hit on that one. >> They did give her a hit. Okay, well that's a again >> she'll take it. it. Good thing I'm not the one keeping score cuz I probably would have gone opposite. I would have given Ruby the hit and I would have had Rebecca reach out on an error. But that's why I'm up here and they're down there. >> And the three 0 misses for ball four. >> So that is three straight to reach against Cahill to start off the fourth. And we'll have a meeting on the mound here for Westwood as the homer from Colette, the single from Kazadian, and then the walk from Criggsman.
I appreciate that people are engaging and committed to um no matter where or when it is looking for casting their vote for the hard work that we've done. So, thank you. I think for next year, just to share the data with those that will listen to this. I mean, the voter turnout was still only 13.7% of the voters in town. So, again, would love to see more people involved and out voting for next year's budget. >> say I was really happy to see the parents square go out, right? Like give it to parents. I mean we were out there too just at the fields and and even you know at the game someone's like oh should we go vote? I'm like you have kids in the school you have to vote, you know? So I think just really trying to raise awareness of you know, our parents to get out there and vote because it's important.
I love Anderson. Okay. I don't care what you say. >> I I'm wearing blue tonight and it was really hard for me to show up. I was just working on the road. But um no, you guys got to think about um what's what are you doing it for the board or are you doing it for kids? Because that's who's missing out when you don't represent them, right? >> So I would like to read this. This is not hardboard policy. This is ed code. And let me read ED code to you. A schoolboard member must be a resident of the school district and if they are elected by a trustee area, a resident of that particular trustee area at code 35107A. A board member must be a resident at the time of election or appointment and must be a resident during the entire time of office.
Do we have any questions? I have a question of uh, on this resolution, do we have to read it in as the whereas all that whole thing or can So, For the minutes you mean? Well, For the motion? >> Yeah, for the motion. The motion can just be the passage of resolution 1727-26. >> Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I was willing to read it. I'm just saying. >> [laughter] >> Okay. Any public comment? Were you wanting to make a motion, member Hayes? Sure. I motion that resolution 1727-26 be adopted. I'll second that motion. A motion by member Hayes and a second by member Robinson. Um any further discussion? All right, let's go ahead and vote. Um all those in favor um signify by saying I. I. Opposed? All right, this passes also. We are moving right along. Um 8C. Uh this is uh 8C1 discussion action um the updated 26-27 student calendar uh presented by John Shepherd this evening.
I think I I mean, I'm ready to vote. I'm ready to vote. >> I I just want to say whether this is the second meeting we've talked about it, but um in any case, that's fine. I was trying to make it so that we could potentially have the ability to have people purchase benches and we can't. Okay, so they need to be consistent. I understand the ADA compliance certainly. Um I'm not clear then on what Is it $2,500, but that doesn't include the bench work and the $1,500 that includes the I mean, so is it What's the total cost? Let's say the most inexpensive bench is 25 and and 1,500? So, what I'm seeing here on the cost is the cost of the bench and plaque varies depending on the model selected. Price range for benches is $2,000 to $4,000 and it has in information later in the policy and then the other price is a $1,500 installation fee payable to the town of Ashland for DPW installation.
They're trying to go for the cycle and it hits this inning. >> That would certainly be something special. Love love to see Taylor Cotch right now in this big spot come up on senior day. Uh she's got we got no outs, runners on first and second. All all we need right now really is for for Taylor to get on base or put the bat on the ball, right? So just simply putting the ball to the right side of the infield is going to move the runners over uh put runners in scoring position. But love to see Taylor get a double. Uh she's been known to put one to the right side in the outfield. >> She'll show bunt to start and pull it back. That one gets by. Kazadian's heading for third. The throw is not in time. She's in there standing up. >> Little risky not a little risky not getting dirty there.
All right. Anything else on the budget? All right. Let's move on to the boiler update. Drum roll, please, Casey. They do say a picture tells a thousand words. Um We like pictures. So I will provide an update because we did start reporting um to the board first facilities committee and then the board of ed the that's the name, I think. Um about this issue. We want to keep the board updated in real time. As Steven said he did also share with the board of finance um the condition of these boilers and the the change in the condition of these boilers um as of late. There are it's front and back and so I just want just so that you can see what we're referring to when we talk about the sections of the boilers that are failing and when I say that you know, we're having to cut and cap different sections that are leaking.
That's attorney general, California attorney general 26. That was that was done in 1991. The government code states that in an elected office deemed vacant, several things can happen. One of them is determined it's vacant and we spend the 60 days or whatever time it takes to get people to apply for it. That makes sure that everybody in our area is represented by people that live here. That's California code. And there's a lot more about that. I'm just paraphrasing some of it. We are not just doing what we think we should because of our own policy. We're doing what California code says is supposed to happen. >> I would like to table this Ryan and hear from our attorney to see if >> our attorney wrote the law, >> Brian, because I would like to actually hear the law because I have um a little disagreement.
Great, thank you, President Calkins. So, in front of you is some very um insignificant changes in terms of the length of the calendar. I've brought this calendar to you three times already. We want to make sure we have it accurately represented on our website, but we did get some information from our secondary schools that they wanted to be sure the minimum days were accurately represented. So, the major change you'll see there is simply a minimum day shifting from a Friday of finals week to Thursday. And that's the That's it on the first one. Sorry, what month is that, just so I can It's in December. It's the purple days. Got you. Okay. Any ques- further questions? Public comment? We have a motion to um approve the the new calendar for the 27-28 year. I'll move to approve. Is it this 26-27? 26-27. 26-27. Okay, wait.
And who knows if the price changes, maybe it'll go down. I don't know. >> most theoretically the most inexpensive bench is 3,500. Is that right then? That's what I'm seeing. >> cuz I was looking at this installation and how we came up with the the Because it And this is this is the third meeting because it was uh it was a introduced and then we had Mr. Gaff come to the next meeting and we talked about it again and here we are. >> and and I'm sure as with anything, right? The Lions to the they have been, right? They've been getting approvals. I don't I I don't even know how they've gone through some of the approvals, but they've been putting benches in different locations cuz they which has been fine. So now we're just formalizing the process so that if other people want to do benches and if the Lions want to do more.
Would have loved to see Ruby get those pants dirty, but she chose to go in standing rather than hitting the slide. She is safe, thank goodness. And we've got runners on second and third for Taylor. Uh good spot here for the senior to to see if she can get an RBI. >> That's upstairs. Two balls and no strikes. Ashlin continues to show their contact skills like we talked about in the pregame. Only 47 pitches for Cahill and no strikeouts. The clockers are just putting the ball in play and their at bats have been quick. >> Yeah, love to see Taylor continue that trend right now. >> But no advancement from Kazadian. Sarah would have been gone. >> Yeah, Nico would have been gone. Haley would have been gone. I think that was a good decision by by Ruby. >> Definitely again. We we ran into our first start at home earlier in the game and I I think that was a good decision to not do that there by coach and Ruby.
Um you can see on this first page here um this boiler that has the the ladder in front of it that is um boiler number three which is um completely um offline and does not it's yes, it's it does not work anymore. And it was a great question that came up I believe at the board of finance meeting which was um are we able to sort of harvest parts from that boiler to keep the other two running? And we have exactly, we have done that um and we we actually we we took um a section from that boiler uh and replaced um a section in boiler two recently. We did get a quote to fix boiler two. I think this is now two years ago. Um the quote just to fix one of those sections from a you know an outside vendor was just under $20,000.
It seems ironic that this came out right now after all the drama over certain things that happened because since this is our board and our meeting I would like to discuss this and not hear everything else all these other comments. I'm I'm trying to file follow the rules of order. I believe we have a first and a second. And you're making a motion to table it, but correct me if I'm wrong. We have a first and second discussion. We need to vote on that first. >> Somebody somebody would have to make another motion and then they would have to agree to accept that that secondary motion. >> Talk about I'm talking about the first motion we had. We had a motion first and we had a second that motion discussion. Now I'm hearing another motion. >> Do we have to first motion? She she would be making an amendment to to Mr.
I'm sorry. I just want to make sure I'm clear. I am yes. Okay, I was jumping ahead. 26-27 year. Do those separately. I'll move that the new student calendar for the 26-27 school year be adopted. I'll second that motion. Okay. We have a motion by member Hayes and a second by member um Robinson. Any further discussion? Okay, let's go ahead and vote. Again, this is uh regarding the 26-27 student calendar year. All those in favor um signify by saying I. I. I. Opposed? It passes four to zero. Now we are moving on to the 27-28 year. Um also again presented by John Shepherd. All right, thank you. So, you'll see the change for the 27-28 student calendar. There are two two changes. One is to embed an October um non-student day. It's something that's been desired, you know, for 26-27 and we want to continue to um to represent that in the 27-28 calendar.
consistent with what else is going on in town. And the current benches are They have to be grandfathered. I mean, you got benches over at the the library. Yeah. Well, we're not going to Wait a second. We're not pulling out benches that are already in place, are we? >> No, we're not. Oh, okay. Just checking. Going forward. Okay. No, I think that it happened and that was one of the things that Bill Gaff brought up. I see. So I would like to make a motion to um accept the adopt the the donated bench No? Yeah? Why? Next time. She can make the motion. >> make a motion? So. Okay. I often make motion and I'm not even chair. I'm just trying to pull the conversation together. Unless anyone else has anything that they want to No, we're good. talk about with the benches. Okay. I'll make a motion to adopt the donated bench policy as has been presented.
>> That one gets by again. Here comes Padian and she will score. Standing up >> down to third base goes the runner at second and that is another run. Two runs in the inning. is six to five and the tying run is at third. >> Now that one was a no-brainer. That was that was an easy easy decision for Ruby to make. She put the wheels on good and she was able to score. And now with runner on third base was decent speed in Creman. >> 3-1 is grounded. That's a fair ball right in front of the plate. And a nice throw from Granada to get out number two. That ball traveled about a foot. >> Yeah. And unfortunately, that's really no man's land for Rebecca Creggsman over there at third. Doesn't really have a chance to to make the play there. Um, stay safe.
And this is not for a new part. This is for a refurbished part. They don't manufacture these um components of these boilers any longer. Um as you can see they are very old. They are they are they're not Yes. Can Can I just add to that because I want to be clear on what we mean by that? So what they would do is they would take a they take sections out of other old, right? Uh aging boilers of this you know suit and um and then they kind of grind them down and rehab them, right? And there is zero warranty. So you pay $20,000 for a zero warranty part potentially that could leak tomorrow if it's put in today and hope it does. Yes. So when when when we were looking at that about a year and a half two years ago um with a boiler number two um we said, "Well, that's way too much money." And fortunately we have um Dan Caldwell who is very experienced with boilers and plumbing and heating.
Gibson's motion wanting to to do that to take >> and Mr. Gibson has to accept that amendment to his motion and I did not accept. But Stacy, you got this letter March 13th after the first talk from our lawyer. This came from our lawyer. >> Well, right now, Joe, I don't I would like to research this a little more because first of all, I don't want to break the law. Second, I want to make sure um I don't like hearing different things from people. I like things. It's a meeting of our board of trustees. >> Please, please stop coming after you leave. >> Here's a board meeting held in public. It's not a public meeting. >> You can sit and watch. You can address when it's your turn, but don't engage in the board. We're discussing things, please. That's your first warning >> because I don't want to I don't want to be rushed to make a decision like this.
