001Oh, >> we're making it ourselves. My head's shinier. Yeah. >> Christine, not sure. [Music] I was saying Friday. >> That's our stuff. You got to do >> North Carolina. >> Okay. [Music] Hey Alan. >> Yes. >> Since uh there might be questions from Zoom and for me to talk, is there a best place for me to sit maybe where Christina can hear me? Fine as long as I retired for elderly. >> Can we see you? >> How do we get to see someone so they can go [Music] Okay, it should be >> I don't know That's true. >> So that's when you ask why that they shut it down. You and I are talking about the Senate. Well, we had a meeting yesterday and they said that in 50 years >> that they used call
002the question 18 years which means all stop talking to me. They don't use it. I need to see so many people were done. >> They let Senator Most of all these policies initiatives probably Senate hasn't been able to pass the last three years. I was like, "Fine, let's go do our question." >> Well, one of them had to do they didn't change her watch but not participate in it. >> Only webinar says to watch but not to participate. >> Allow her to talk. No, we need to receive. >> Okay. >> Matt, >> the last time when we had to let you in, did you have to do anything on your phone for open? >> So, it said it would send something to me saying like the host is trying to turn your video on, allow
003it now. And then I would allow it for the vote purposes or then I would put it back on. Then he would hit me up again. Then I It's almost like you were trying to force my video on. >> How about we go ahead and have discussion while we're figuring that out? >> She can hear. We just can't see. >> She can hear. All right. >> All right. Well, >> if she needs a call or something. >> Well, can we make a motion discuss the extra? >> Yes, we can. Yeah. Okay. So, uh >> in open session. >> We are in open session. Right. So, we would like to make the motion for you to approve the ballot language as presented um that is on the board. Shall the board of education of Ozark R
004six school district be authorized to increase the operating tax levy ceiling to 3.3857 per $100 of assessed valuation according to the 2025 assessment for general operating expenses of the district including increasing compensation for employees to attract and retain quality faculty and staff. If this question is approved, the operating tax levy of the district is estimated to increase by 20 cents from 3.1857 to 3.3857 per $100 of assessed valuation. And the district expects to make a corresponding reduction to its debt service tax levy of 20 cents, resulting in no increase to the overall tax levy at the district, which is estimated to remain unchanged at $414 per $100 of assessed valuation. We ask that you approve that language for the balance sheet. So I'll accept a motion for that. I'll approve a motion on it. Have
005a second. Okay. So now we are open to any discussion. Does anybody have anything would like to discuss? [Music] Christina, did you have a question on this? cuz she can hear us. >> Is she allowed to allow her to enable the audio? >> Yeah, I click for her to talk. Okay. [Music] Oh, good. That's what I was just asking. >> We can't see you, but you can ask you can ask a question that you have. >> Oh, that's great. Thanks, Lori. My question was I like the ballot language that starts with this question as approved the operating part. My only question is about the top part for generating generating general operating expenses of the district including increasing compensation for employees to attract and retain all dial that all of that and I know that comes
006from the operating levy and I know there's not a levy for fun too which is teachers. So I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with us putting that on there because we're not actually raising a levy on the teacher fund or anything like that. Yeah, because it a lot of times the teacher fund is considered special fund. Um and so because it never mentions fund two um this is strictly from fund three to fund one, >> right? So technically it's not going to teachers. >> It does in this way because once we put it over fund one, however negative fund two is statutoily we can't be negative in a fund. So we transfer from fund one to fund two. So our fund two will be negative will be bigger next year uh because
007of those or whenever we increase the salaries due to this uh levy transfer and so we will be transferring more into fund one to fund two and we'll need more in that fund one to do that. So that's how that >> I I understand that and agree with that. I just want to make sure I know how to answer people who ask about well that's not the teacher fund you know I want to know what the answer is about I think you just can't you could you just have to move to general first and move to teacher fund >> right >> we do cuz there's not a levy in that so absolutely we pay them out of fund two but we always make a transfer at the end of the year an accounting transfer to
008zero that out so yes >> the only way we get any money in fund two is that it comes from fund one >> yes >> oh that's one way uh our formula payment is also the other way it goes into that too. >> Oh, okay. >> So, we we designate a certain amount of from the state that goes into that. >> Mhm. >> And if that doesn't cover it, then we transfer the rest of it in there. >> Okay. Okay. That's good to know. Thank you for explaining that. >> We can freely move from >> correct. That's the language doesn't need to be here. >> We can do that. >> Y freely move from one to two. Y >> but not from one. >> Right. And you don't go the other direction, right? >> Y
009>> correct. >> So that language is going to follow. >> Yes. And everything that you see here has been looked over by Gilmore Bell a couple times and so they they do thousands of these nationwide. Um Ben Thompson is an excellent, you know, bond council attorney and so um they have, you know, put eyes on this and have given their thumbs up of approval for how it reads. Christina, I'm facetiming you. Can you accept that? >> Yes. >> Then at least we can see your face when you vote. You can be >> on the vote. How's that? >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you. >> This is great. I appreciate you working that out. >> Okay. >> How much is it going to cost? >> How much does it cost to run a B to run
010the board election? It's about $15,000. It all depends on who else put stuff on the ballot and then they divide that amongst all the people that ran for the disclosed cost. >> Which ballot does it go on? >> August 78 grand. That seemed to be a typical number. >> Okay. >> I wonder I wonder if we do anything else. [Music] >> We ask that you vote it. We have a motion in a second. So, um, are we ready to vote? >> What was the motion >> to accept the verb that Jazz presented? >> Okay, good. Thank you. >> So, um, all if no more discussion, I'll see all in favor. >> Yep. It's your face. >> Passes your hands. >> Okay. >> I don't know. AI. Are you sure? >> Are you sure it's not
011AI? Hey, thank you, Christina. >> Thank you. >> Byebye. >> Bye. >> See, no further business. We are >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> Yeah. So, the plan is we'll take that paper down to the county board election process. The deadline is May 27th. We're only >> not trying to be a great trip. Yeah, >> I don't leave room for a few days, but I'm kind of on bad duty like >> shuffling. [Music] [Laughter] >> And I got dinner in a crock pot. A little spice spicy chicken like a bag of frozen chicken in there and then stick of butter pack of like
