003traffic and building at P. >> Okay. They made it where it comes down and they're very they just pull in there. There's three people that live on that road and's not too bad. But the evening time I counted 79 cars that go through. During this time they illegal to block a counter and there's also this [Music] disorder traffic. So there's three different stats 189.2 which requires riders to operate vehicles carefully with regards for the safety and convenience of others. KRS189.450 prohibits stopping or standing a vehicle in any way that it traffic traffic by doing this. It's the end of Anderson lane is that they'll pull up there and carnos shop. They blocked that on 1651. The first week of September, there was a cold truck that not a cold truck, I'm sorry, a lot of
004trucks come around all those cars in the wrong way. over here on the other side of 1651 decided to come around there. It's only by the grace of God they didn't have a head on disaster. That car went completely off the road to avoid that. I get cussed lift off. They won't give an inch. And I don't particularly like somebody in the school system. I love kids. That's not the issue. It's the issue that we can't get in now to go to work. My neighbor had a heart attack. So, there's no way he go through his yard. So, I'm just asking if there's some way we can reroute the traffic and put more black so that they not car and also for the community and I understand small but I'm not here to cause problems
005or you know anything like It's just a very saf but anyways that's the only you know my concern is safety for the public there and which I own the whole side of that road 165 You know, I didn't know nothing but the issue people of the road supervisor spoke with me today and he looked at all the road and he said wasn't up to the curb and he suggest at the dollar store, but that's up to you guys.

Motion second actions with discussion discuss or take action on 2025 2026 working budget. Mr. In the general
006fund, we have anticipated revenues of roughly 17 million in SE funding approximately $1.45 million and collected tax revenue that we get to keep in general fund. Some of our larger expenditures, SBD staffing and section six allocations to the school and our budget contingency would be 1.425 million or about 5%. Special revenue fund or fund two. We only budget for the project year that we're in. And this year we're in the letter M. Special revenue fund is a zerobased budget. Revenues minus expenditures always equal zero. Capital outlay revenues $225,000. building fund. We get state revenues of 999,000 and then we take part of our local property tax match 364,000 and all that gets transferred into our fund 400 or our debt service fund to make our bond payments. Um and then we have our food service
007fund. It includes salaries and wages to reflect the 25 26 staffing list includes also includes expenses for food maintenance and equipment. >> You all have any questions? >> How's it looking that we talked about that we're still waiting to hear from? We've been hearing from [Music] anymore. extra budget for it. >> We will we will have to take action on this before we even find out what that is. Every year >> I actually have to submit this one to the 30th. >> So we need to make a motion to I'll make a motion to approve 2025 2026 budget motion >> Cody Drew discuss or take action on Smithtown property Mr. Taylor we talked about Smithtown for years and I know a couple years ago we sent some information to KD and got approval to sell
008county if we wanted to sell it. I think we came back to the conclusion that we wanted to keep it. Um talking with our insurance company it is a liability kind of the way it sits now and Obviously, they can't tell us what to do, but I would feel more comfortable if we do something with Smithtown down, get the property cleaned up. That way, you know, we don't have people in there messing around and potentially get hurt and sue us and have a claim. So, about a year ago, we uh we asked some folks to go out and take a look at it and and give us a ballpark idea of what it would cost to I got with airs force technology to come in and look at the asbestous and tell us what we
009can do with the asbestous and how to handle all that. So had three three different folks to go in and kind of give us a ballpark idea. They range from 20 something thousand up to 80 something thousand as far as getting clean off what needs to be hauled off and then tear the bill down. So if you all want to do that I just need your go ahead then we can we can actually advertise for RFP for services, cleanup services and burial. Then we can go ahead. So we do bid process right now process request and then they would bring them to us and we has any idea what propert. [Music] I think it would, you know, and I I would hate to get rid of the property just in case before I retire, but
010you know, someday down the road, I think that would be a good piece of property for We just need to open it up to bids. >> Yes. >> Once we do that, do we have to accept a bid and go through? >> No, you can reject all bids if you don't like it. You're not bound to take a bid. You just, you know, you have to go through the bid process and if you don't like it all, you could reopen it up. You could take no action. Just table it for the time being. You've got options from there. I called over in price for a dozer and for a month it's going to be around $20,000 for our guys. So I mean we can get it done. I think it would be worth us As
011long are >> clean. >> They they take whatever we get with technology and they they get rid of the technology stuff and then Let's take it down to the >> accept bids. How did you work out for accepting bids? um I would do a motion to start the bidding process for demolition, burial, and clean up of the Smithtown property. >> Do you all want you may want to specify to thought about this a second. You all want to take it as sealed bids. >> That would be That's the best way to do it. >> So add the word seal. >> We got approval. It can be great on site because it's not what what did he call? He called it he had a special word for it. I have the report though says that we
012can do that. >> Is there a time limit if you do that before you can use it for anything else or anything like that? >> No, they just have to bury it. So deep. >> Okay. I mean if we sold property we just have to disclose to the buyer that it was buried. I think that was the only go. U make a motion to start the process of sealed bids for the demolition and cleaning of the Smithtown property. I'll second >> next meeting and adjourn. Next meeting board of education will be on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025 at 5:30. >> I make motion. Thank you all. We get a few
