006for them too so that when they're back with practice we have two coaches supervising 30 to 3540 junor kids depending on where the numbers it's poison anyway it's a numbers thing well and it is good to have those types of numbers for for track and I think our numbers just as an added I think our our numbers for for softball are fairly good too so still working on the baseball any other discussion hearing none all those in favor say ify by saying I I motion [Music] carries thank you Payton for putting in item eight under business motion to approve the uh memorandum of understanding between Chisum Independent School District 695 and the American Federation of state county and Municipal Employees stablishing the temporary utility supervisor Transportation Foreman position which will dis discontinue on June 30th

009record I believe with no so we board got to approve it so I'm assuming that we have activity accounts for the other most of them most activities most sports okay any other discussion football basketball swimming really active fundraiser so hearing no other discussion all those in favor signify by saying I I oppos motion carries 8 C motion to approve the agreement for school resource officer Services between the city of Chism and Independent School District number 69 695 for the period of July 1 2024 through June 30th 2025 motion by direct Lappy all support for a little discussion okay support by any discussion okay so no I'm kind of confused about the date here so an SRO officer was on duty here for this time frame friend that we're talking about no so I can answer
010that so they in they came to me in the fall and uh Vern Chief Manor said hey I got somebody we're fully staffed finally and it was it a bit of a surprise um but we've kind of had that ongoing agreement but I believe our contracts had expired so we did get somebody on board um last of two mid January that officer took a position out of down in the metro area okay and um just my recommendation moving forward notified the city and I've notified let burn know that moving forward I don't think we were interested in fing that position the rest of the year and then this contract but we didn't have a contract in place it's been kind of that handshake agreement we had a contract originally way back when um they're charging
011us the same amount as they were before so it's not they weren't charging us more this year than they were say three years ago um and but moving forward I think it's one of those positions that we could probably about after a lot too well they have been I get that you know and and I agree with you I guess you know we've paid them through June 30th we have and now and then after that no we're only paying for the time that we had somebody here so we paid I think it was $33,000 a month so we got built for it so yeah they only charged this for and it was only a part of December because that's only what two weeks three weeks in December it's shorter months the false 3,000 so and
012they yeah and they're not going to fill the position moving forward here okay so does that answer what you wanted to know that's that's what I needed to know yeah sometimes it Ramble On oh that's okay keep talking REM me Jim D that's a compliment was WR as a motion to approve could it been for a motion for consideration of the agreement instead and motion I think what we're doing here is almost somewhat back dat contract oh um that we should have had for this school year correct me if I'm wrong yeah and what we're doing is we're approving it through June 30th 2025 because that's what the school year was or what the contract would have been if they had a full-time officer here so it's B basically semantics uh probably more of a
013Jeff and Bonnie thing so they don't come back and say where was that contract and then Noah can say it was before my time go talk to the superintendent no never do that we want it in effect till the end of June we're not going to have any services for the rest of the year correct but we want to have services but we won't get charged for it either oh okay all right okay okay any other discussion hearing none all those in favor signify by saying I I oppos motion carries item 8D motion to approve the resolution for donations this is resolution number 25- 03-10 accepting donation of $500 from the everth El lodge number 1161 to support School Pantry program at High School schol motion by director C Simon support support by director Lappy

017some of our supervisory positions also so I'm just trying to set a date or if if it's doable for for um the board they'd like to get together obviously we have two of our board members um absent today and that's understandable so what we could do is set a tenative date and run that by them and if uh it doesn't work we try to find another date do you want to do you want to do it before the next regular Med that sounds probably I think that's a good idea if you're able to do that I think I think that would work um you saying four yeah that way we're not bringing in Mark and Lisa not a separate date thoughtful of you well I yeah I like to do the same day if you
