001This time I'd entertain a motion to come out of executive session. Support. Roll call please. Dr. Ballard. Yes. Mrs. Nazario. Yes. Mr. Ferguson. Yes. Mrs. Washington. Yes. Mr. Sturgell. Yes. At this time I'd entertain a motion to suspend the order. Support. Roll call. Mrs. Washington. Yes. Dr. Ballard. Yes. Mr. Ferguson. Yes. Mrs. Nazario. Yes. Mr. Sturgell. Yes. At this time I'd ask Ms. Kearney to walk on. Do we need a motion to do that? We need a motion to walk on an item. Two items. Two items. Support. Roll call. Mrs. Washington. Yes. Mrs. Nazario. Yes. Mr. Ferguson. Yes. Dr. Ballard. Yes. Mr. Sturgell. Yes. Now you're up. I have a resolution stating the need to renew the existing 23.85 mil current expense tax levy and asking the Lorraine County auditor to provide required certifications as

002outlined by law. Support. Discussion. Roll call please. Mrs. Washington. Yes. Dr. Ballard. Yes. Mr. Ferguson. Yes. Mrs. Nazario. Yes. Mr. Sturgell. Yes. And if I could very, very quickly for the people in the audience as well as the The 23.85 mils was passed like 35 years ago. It doesn't collect anywhere near that and this is a renewal not a new tax. And then I have the second resolution stating the need to renew the existing emergency tax levy and asking Lorraine County auditor to provide required certifications as outlined in state law. Support. Mr. Clerk. Was there a term on that? This one is the 10 year emergency renewal. Okay. Mr. Ballard. Dr. Ballard. Mrs. Washington. Roll call. Mr. Ferguson. Yes. Mrs. Nazario. Yes. And Mr. Sturgell. Yes. And again if I could just emphasize this one

003is 13 years old not collecting nearly what it was in terms of millage and it is not a new tax. These will just continue with what we currently receive. There will be more coming out on that later we have to have a couple of readings before it is official I believe. Correct. I guess for discussion I just ask the community to support us once everything goes through and to join supporting our levy committee and all of that great stuff. We need to continue the services and support to our kids and we would greatly appreciate it. Absolutely. And at this point I would entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved. Roll call please. Mr. Sturgell. Yes. Dr. Ballard. Yes. Mr. Ferguson. Yes. Mrs. Washington. Yes. Mrs. Nazario. Yes.
