001it's good for our community but looking at what can be done it's an easy solution either way they're going to have complaints sent to you but basically there's one decision that is more correct than the other um these kids can't change this they don't have control but parents and Spectators and families can change things and it's their time not ours and I really hope that you will consider it for this year and especially going forward if you don't do it for this year um thank you thank you very much is there anyone else that has um would like to approach the board at this time okay we will move on um to administrative reports all right I think like long awaited here we're U we have Chad here with transportation to talk about um busing

002specifically the opportunity or consideration for restoring High School busing as uh he gets ready to come up I just want to remind the board that uh we already Service uh students above the state minimum State minimum would be kindergarten through 8th grade with a two mile radius right now we have um all of our Woodland students have the opportunity to ride a bus and at the middle school if they live more than one mile from the school they also have the opport ride the bus uh this year as we're this year and last uh when families of high schoolers had a hardship and reached out to the building or central office the request was considered uh of six formal requests that we received uh all six were granted currently we only have uh three students

003in grades 9 through 12 regularly riding the bus to school and there's no students riding the bus after so there's some factors for that uh after school after school extracurricular activities that they do uh after school or during school they can find a friend give ride home and also after school there's natural light out sunlight and so parents feel more comfortable with their kid walking compared to in the morning um there was one uh question there was a question about you know as we're looking at this can we consider reducing ride time to 30 minutes or less for all uh Riders our goal is typically to have 40 minutes or less because after that 40 minute Mark is we start to get maybe a little you know misbehaviors and things like that happening on the

004bus it's not always possible especially in the uh Township you know uh farm farm roads that we have um but we estimated that adding or to achieve a 30 minute or less uh bus ride for all students we we estimated it would take three additional routes which uh would mean three additional drivers I think everyone is aware that drivers right now are very hard to find we currently have a posting open for immediate hire and we have another one open for hire in August because one of our drivers is sched to retire um and additionally uh the Union contract guarantees drivers four hours per day so even with the shorter routes they're still guaranteed four hours of service a day so having meaningful work for them um for those four hours would be a challenge

005uh essentially working with the treasur estimated it's estimated that the total cost of the driver so salary benefits and U you know other other yeah salary benefits would be 43,600 to 45,600 so adding three be about 130,000 to 137,000 in addition to additional bus purchases that would be needed wear and tear and fuel for those um so trying to elevate the service so that no one's riding more than 30 minutes really is not feasible um and I think I already talked a little bit but we're fortunate to have many students involved in extracurricular activities which provides them riding in the afternoon um and um and I said after travel um our attendance insury teams they continue assess factors that cause students to arrive late or not attend school and when transportation is the reason uh

006services are considered and offered uh students typically decline riding due to the stigma of yellow bus yellow um and then lastly uh we some asked you know are you going to survey parents or students to see what potential ridership would be we chose not to because we were uh we would anticipate having false uh positives and false negatives so Mom and Dad saying yeah my kid's going to ride the bus and uh you know the kid finds a friend or some other means to get to school and um false negatives would be the kid saying no I'm not riding that bus and the parents say you absolutely are because that's the way you're get to school so we didn't want to put that out there and then have inaccurate data that we're trying to make

007a decision on um and so with that I turn it over to Chad he has been working with administrative team the bus driving staff and he's developed three options that he's going to go over and there'll be a little discussion no action is anticipated tonight but from this discussion we'll go back and refine that again and there could be potentially a recommendation in March um based on conversations all right thank you uh so the first option we have there is option A sorry I don't have handouts for the audience so option A would be to maintain current services for uh K8 students actually pre8 students and then 9 through 12 students by special requests with documented hardship that goes through Dr kman uh so that would mean that we' maintain the five routes that we

008have one special need route no High School busing and then students um PRK through 5 they would be eligible for service and then just like we currently have students in 6 through eight living greater than a mile from school would have service and then 9 through 12 would have no service unless the hardship was considered um so then down below we just laid out the routing assumptions so right now the buses are picking up students and dropping off um the prek through 8 students their first stop is at McCormick we have some buses that get there as early as 7: a.m. uh 7:05 and then the last bus usually rolls in about 7:15 um and I believe that their school day starts at 7:25 now 7:30 okay um and then from there they go over

009to Woodlands uh usually where they sit for uh probably 8 to 10 minutes um some students get off early if they're going to go in for breakfast but everybody else is dismissed into the building when they're fully staed at 7:30 and then we have our ehobby bus that leaves the high school here at 7:35 uh then in the afternoon as you can see here um as you know last year we had to make a pivot when we went from six routes to five routes so we started picking up the cormic students a little earlier so this option would still pick them up at 220 get them home and then get over to Woodlands as uh quick as they can as safely as they can anywhere between 2:40 and the last bus PS in about 255

010258 uh yovi students uh get picked up in the afternoon by the Special Needs Bus it's out outside the district and then those students from Woodlands some the last ones to get dropped off get dropped off about 350 so that's our current option and that's option a option b uh when we looked at it um this would be adding the high school Riders um and then having one prek 12 morning route and then 2 pm routes uh so we would do the prek 5 and then the six 12 route in the afternoon uh still maintaining the five buses for regular routes one special need route um then the um the mile radius would apply for both middle school and high school students and then everybody else uh prek through five would be eligible for service

011uh it does change up some times which would change uh probably the teacher start time and the start of their days um so we would need to get the students over to um McCormick at about 7:05 then drop at the high school at 710 is and then to keep woodlands where it's at currently we' get them there at 730 with the yob bus to leave at 7:35 in the afternoon there would be two routes similar to what there is now but just a little bit of different ordering uh we would pick up at Woodlands at 225 and by doing this it would avoid both pedestrian and vehicle traffic around Woodlands um a lot of times when the bus are pulling down down the street down Buckeye there's a lot of car traffic and pedestrian traffic

012leaving uh which makes it difficult to navigate down the narrow road uh so that we that means we can get our buses in there before the students get let out um and then get them going and then the Walkers and Riders could be released uh we would deliver the the with students home and then we would make the buses would make their way to uh the high school at about 305 so we base the 40 minutes off of that's how long it takes right now uh to get the last bus get the last kids home um so we' pick up at 305 and then pick up at 310 over at McCormick and discussions with the principles they thought it' be easier to um Corral and maintain uh junior high and high school kids in a

013large area than it would to make the elementary kids wait longer since there's more writers of those anyways uh then to maintain we got to pick up Edie hob at 3:00 so that's still a factor and then this would um leave our latest students getting dropped off approximately 4 p.m. so a little bit later jior or for junior high and high school and then option C um option A with the request of high school writers by parents via form filling out hardship so still the five routes one special need the mile radius from mccormic and high school um and so that's all the same and then the routing assumptions we would do 1 a.m route for prek through 8 drop off at McCormick at 7:15 and then we could we could have our high school

014students that need a ride over over to the high school which we currently do for a couple of our math students um they would get off at McCormick hop on a connecting ride over to the high school get dropped off there and then the Restless students would go over to the Woodlands at 7:30 uh and then the hob buses still leave at 7:35 and then in the afternoon uh prek 8 ride um delivering home pick up of mccormic 220 take those uh sixth and seventh graders home pick up at Woodlands between 240 255 just like before so we're still getting home about 350 so those are the options that we came up with based off the information given to us by um the drivers like Dr tman said the building principles myself Dr T Julian

015and anybody has any questions so the option C is to you have the one mile radius for middle school and high school so they they can write it or you have the hardship on there also I'm just trying to decide what the difference is between option A and C there there's not a whole lot of difference in the option A and C correct yeah the difference between a and C is that with C they don't have to demonstrate that hardship they would just say I need a bus without the so a right now is what we're doing as far as hey I have a hardship or what is well I just don't to get up that is not a hardship now parents don't call me with that that was okay but um with C they

016wouldn't have to give a reason a hardship they could just say I want my to ride bus we figure out way to get um and then with b um just as we work through it um one thing that might not come on a first read is that with B we the drivers already pointed it out we might have parents say well my Woodlands kid gets Babys set by my older kid so what happens there when my Woodlands kid gets home a half hour 40 minutes earlier so with that the parent could request the Woodland kid continue to ride so the kid would stay on the bus and then when the middle school and high schoolers get off they get off so uh or the parent you know could work to find a neighbor or a

017friend all those other options but if they were like this is the absolute I need my middle schooler to watch my younger um the younger could ride it'd be a long afternoon for that kid though any of these change uh so option b would change uh I think the Woodland start time no I don't think it does right no it would change mccormic start time um they would be getting there a little earlier so I think they would start five or 10 minutes earlier and talking with Mar because he's working with his teachers on Master scheduling uh he said that he would build in then like a study hall period part of that wi experience where they um get ready for the day get set and go um but then um the end of the

018day they're going to be hanging out aori buses Pi up so and right and right now you have accommodated the six hardship requests that you've received correct and that's all that You' received the six part yeah correct so others might be putting stuff out on social media or whatnot but requests that have come to my office there's been six and all six have been granted um so yeah made it work I mean obviously you have to be in school in order to learn and we want our kids to be successful so when they have trouble get to school we find way aeve what was the set up prior to busing being stopped back in whatever that was 2021 uh they would come here and pick up um I think at like 2:30 yeah so they

019would pick up here um and the buses were pretty bar leave here there would sometimes be a bus only three kids um and I had those numbers at one time I thought I gave them to James we didn't include it in here uh like the current freshman class that would have experienced having busing last year I think out of those there was yeah there wasn't very many so spread across five buses ideally equally it be five five five per for bus they used to pick up at the high school load up get out before the high school student traffic if not tangled up in that if you've ever been here then make the back way over to the cormick coming down the back alley picking up there delivering home and then but that was also

020when uh Woodlands had a dismissal time of 3:30 um so our those Woodland students want get home we had buses U bus drivers working from 2 to 5 at that time so I believe uh like the last time the latest time somebody got delivered then was like 450 there like on the shy Road out there by farmer Jones's area so makes for a long day for those kiddos I got to get up early that's a good point too when we were working talk with the the two unions teachers union support that Union they're like hey we really like how teachers like how school days are almost they have really similar start times right there wasn't this big gap that used to exist when we had four campuses and the buses factors and all that uh

021and you know um it does help when we have like professional development activities and we do share staff building share staffs um so when they're shared and then they have this like I start really early but then you want me to go really Contra we can't make them do that so so it does help and again these three options um sort of maintain the current to the best of our ability the current start and end times and um obviously we could restore High School busting with um minimal additional cost so the options that are here they don't have hiring more staff uh there might be a little more mileage and fuel um but ultimately it's say was but it's marginal additional cost so we we could get it done sorry I mean we could get

022it done so um also when we had the high school bus before I forgot but there used to be two Loops in the morning so there would be junior high high school loop and then the elementary kids would get picked up because there start time was I think we dropped off at 8 8:50 started at 9 905 or something like that so that's what it used to be double Loop in the morning two Loops in the afternoon as well I think Dr tman alluded to uh in this before I presented uh about having this uh student survey the survey if they want to knowbe as a I would say yes my da ride thees that one day if she would need to ride the bus I know it's there but then we could get a

023lot of false false positives or whatever you want to say so like we would plan for 130 kids to ride and then 30 ride or something like that so then it would really mess up our times so if we would if we would do the the option where they could um request to ride we just have to set some parameters like if you don't ride for a week or two you're going to be off you know we'll take you off the route going have to give us 3day notice to get back on things like that getting them home is not not that big of a deal but if we don't go down a road because we don't think anybody's out on Fox Road it could be problematic I'm assuming that ridership in the afternoon you

024know changes according to sports schedules and after school curriculars and yeah just like yeah mccor kids here pretty soon track will be starting so there's an influx of uh 60 70 kids that won't be riding the bus potentially so yes it does it does change quite a bit anybody else thanks for answering the question on the shortening the the time because I think that's part of the reason have so many people dropping off in the morning maybe not but it seems like Reas how much it would take to and I'll share this in risk of but last Tuesday when it was super cold we had and we had school uh the car rider drop off at Woodland did bleed onto Cleveland Road even all the way back to um offer to Buckeye and why well

025because people were like I don't want my kids stand out wait for a bus to drive so it resulted in more cars coming to there uh but that really has been um a rarity um parents are learning how to stay tight to the car in front of them right so those gaps add up to extra cars uh kids are more efficient getting out of the out of the vehicles and moving U last week when we had some snow and whatnot uh that was a little slower so that caused that um but but um but overall um that works but yeah we would love for kids to ride the bus in the morning as opposed to making a long car rider car car ride drop off um statistically it's the safest way to travel at school

026bus and um you know it's a fun social thing for kids too but I I as a parent myself recognize the benefit of that oneon-one or one on two time in the car when you're getting ready to start your day and a little quiet time where you maybe don't have as much technology distractions and stuff like that you can talk to your kids so so I I get why parents want to drive too anyone else any other questions Mr [Music] carer as we go back to work with staff should we continue to refine this option b where it is stated it's High School busing or should we be looking at probably option C where it's you don't have to demonstrate a hardship and um we need to start building out processes like a request 3day

027review and then things like that like what what should I be working with my with the staff on I think it'd be best to make it as easy as possible and I think that to work on option C that High School writers by parents via form without hardship requirement I I think that makes it easier for parents um if we could explore that option I think that would okay my opinion I think the use the there quickly get Middle School you don't have to change all these times thank you thanks Mr bow hello um now a lot is going on in the schools but we're already halfway through the third quarter already which is insane it's going quite quickly but um for the high school there's been a lot of sports news I bet as

028you've all seen so in girls basketball boys basketball wrestling and uh bowling they've all made it on to the next round so the girls and boys basketball for for section sectional Champs and then for wrestling and bowling some on next round for districts and then we had a state diver last week I forget Tuesday he compeed and then also last week um we had a state swimmers there as well so lot has been going on they made it to the finals some of them are actually in the crowd we stand up and let us congratulate you swimmer [Applause] and then spring Sports have started up that's that's all I have Dr mcdonal um and that is um it's not a checker flag it's more like the green flag for now what what's next and Tim

029I talk about about um you know this is direct result you got your achievement you got your progress you got your Gap and those are all tied to the end of excuse end of end of so always looking and finding and Tim implementing the data teams have gone a long way trying how do we go from to well now we try to get from right so a big shout out to the staff that are doing those difference making things um if you will um which also includes um part of the Stars here um shout out to the school of counseling department because um they are the graduation rates um and they're also the Readiness for Career College and all that good stuff we'll talk about that later um but every St has graduation you know

030so we are to go everybody qualifi graduation so big shout out to everybody that is involved with that and I know also last fall um we had a conversation about students and staying on campus and having that High School experience also we have a pretty happy C program so training that allow us to offer 54 colingus and for our school I that's pretty Dar and actually of middle school as well so um appreciate the folks that are all involved in that and doing things um to make that happen so in our conversation of what's next um in our updat may have about um taking a look at those when those first came out those were a pathway for students to graduate who weren't meting other ways there's a lot of ways that you can get

031toate but um with time and now we're looking at 15 different courses that we currently offer here at the high school can offer opportunities for students to get up to or even more so dep on how we do this started these industry that would set them apart on their get them experience work already iby classes an example that could be so many industry credentials actually to which is another part of graduates um looking at those opportunities in such a way thats are credit for the work that taking place in those classes but also for using some of the work that also classes um we met withs and they're going to be helping us do that and see what exactly align and you know where should we start you know of course we get excited like

032we could do all of this but perhaps we should start here right part of Cleveland partnership in partnership with the greater partnership a lead preap pram and so us but so we have our coffee shop on Friday morning that um we could expend um looking into that and students credit for thatr so um this is all probably what so more to come on that but just wanted to um give a shout out to people doing the work and making the things happen and getting our students more opportunities here locally but also in the region as well so and our work with the BAC is also helping with those connections so we got a we got a big spring coming up with different opportunities through the AC so looking forward to it so are all of

033the the industry um yeah those are they all off campus people go students go to different businesses here be here so um there are and each those arei that stete and some of are Universal to all so one of them is Dri so classes that we could offer CPR one um that more of that conversation out with because Tim has applied our that we think could have a match and what we so this is class so we're looking at Microsoft Microsoft right um there's different to geta Maks already work with right so that's great if you got the brain power you can't communicate with somebody you're not going very far with brain power right so and that communication looks different across all those fields as well so um not only having Universal words but also

034one specific to those different there will be offsite opportun but you know to see what we have first here that awesome thanks for the question uh financials through January were eight months sorry seven months through the fiscal year 58% of the way through uh revenues for all funds and general fund revenue is right around 47% uh you'll see a large jump in that when we do the February financials we got our tax advance um so that should jump up and catch us up for the year uh expenditures in all funds we're 54.4% and general fund we're at 51.3 so we're trending uh below our anticipated expenditures that's good news for now uh donations for January $2,000 from syusy Elks for the here Memorial Scholarship fund and item C is a purp statement budget for high

035school track I think we're still waiting on baseball and softball and I'll wrap those up for the year um updates we attended a webinar today on some state state funding updates uh I really don't have much to update as of right now it looks like um the reductions in the guarantee funding are going to stay at 5 and 10% 5% next year 10% the following year we're looking at about 100 it'll cost us about 133,000 next year and about 267,000 foll so as of right now nothing really has changed from that we'll see how this progresses but you know even when I go to do the fter forecast in day I'm going to assume that that's how this is going to play out uh and then the last thing I have I had updated our

036um pi budget uh what I did is um up top for the receipts I updated the increase in the the property tax that we're going to see as well as Ard doll I added that tax batement in here last year was the first year that received that a large one so that'll run for 15 years so really between those two things we're seeing a healthy increase in our PI funds so that's a good sign that and then if you go down below in the expenditures um I don't know if it's highlighted that Capital One I think was the one no I'm sorry the Huntington National Bank was the cops loan for the wood project that we paid off so you can see it's about 150 that we're also saving um year in and year out

037as far as the expenses go um under the bus purchases is the is the main part I want to point out when we were going through the Aging Fleet that we have uh we purchased the bus last year I think to get on a decent cycle we're probably going to want to purchase a bus for the next two or even three years in a row and then we can take a year off and then maybe do that cycle again that'll get us on a much better cycle by the time that cycle the two R runs of that are done we'll be starting it over again after about 10 10 years Chad a good time frame for a bus based on the miles that we put on it so I I included that in here um

038I think we've gotten by in the past without doing a cycle like this but um it might be a good time to start thinking about the ages of the buses um and then the other major expense that I'm I'm trying to plan for is the turf at the stadium uh I believe in 30 or 31 is when we're going to have fy3 31 is when we're going to have to start really thinking about replacing that we made a couple calls uh with inflation and where that could be in the next five six years 700,000 so I'm trying to throw that in there uh and anticipating that as well um Tech equipment we are on a nice schedule with our new tech crew um for cycling through employee Tech um we had some some devices that

039were really out of date so we're trying to get on a cycle of uh I think right now I think it's 14 we're planning on replacing yearly I think is the number um so we'll be able to get staff caught back up and not so outdated equipment uh the other thing I did want to point out I think I last year I think Betty had mentioned this too um in FY 24 you can see the sale of Shaunie up in the revenue section and then you see that come out down at the bottom of the Sha set aside so when you're looking at these final balances it doesn't doesn't include that sha so that's just something I wanted to everyone keep in mind it remains unspent and unallocated for correct it's sitting in Star it's

040sitting in Star uh so that's a good thing um that's kind of a high overview I really think that this is a very fluid document you know it takes a boiler going out or something and yeah there's a little bit of money in for for building stuff but you know we'll just have to keep an eye on it and then see where it goes but I anticipate on trying to do this at least every six months if not sooner depending on if we have major expense that needs to come out of it just to keep everyone updated so we'll try to go over this more frequently in the past like was it statut there like a limit or conditions on what the sh um I would have to go back and look and see what

041sort of was in the resolution that that was pass I know that there must be something because we I think it was just Pi yeah oh correct it's in pi so in order to take that from back general fund that would involve a whole another we're not going to do that unless it's absolutely necessary yeah it'll stay there it can't be used on salaries and benefits or anything has to be used on Pi expenditures yeah um I don't know what that just did it the track and is that something I have noidea what the on that but think it feels like the was just done soing it [Music] already I continue on there you know it drops back down to like 100 100 I know it'll it yeah yeah but that isn't as large of

042an expense what we just did so I think as long as you do the maintenance the 5e respray which includes respraying the surface and then repainting uh it should last 20 to 25 years obviously wearing like use amount use which it's open to the community all the time kids use it all the time but yeah it's it's like 20 to 25 for like total redo like we just did years L right that's more of like an8 to 10 year correct y yeah they say 8 to 10 it depends on usage and uh thankfully we got kids using it and yeah it's what it's for so different sports using it I saw I saw kids playing on it the other day but I don't think it was our because it's snow covered right now but yeah

043I mean it's basically used 12 10 months out look at providing like so so one of the things in working with the boosters that surprised me was like the very amount of money in each of the athletic accounts of them's am fol are fisers or camps or whatever um and and I guess to me what my concern is for families that are paying pay to play and then are being like asked to raise funds in addition to that I guess I'm ask my question is like what's it going for like what do you need the money for and if you don't need the money why are we espcially on fundraisers why are we going out and asking the community to give money to X Program if there's no specific for it and it's just sitting

044in account right and so I guess on the purpose and budget statements I would Envision maybe a little more detail where the coaches sit down with you and with the athletic director say like hey here's what I need maybe this year here's what I'm looking for in three to five years but like and make sure you all are on board with what they Envision they actually need with what the boosters May donate and then a plan you know on how to fund raise it seems like right now we don't have a lot of that like oversight or governance at least from my perspective maybe there's things that happen that I don't know about so are these uh fundraisers that are put on by the boosters well so it I I think that's an area of

045opportunity for and I want I want to pause for a second this isn't like I this is not a criticism of any coach anybody involved this is a an opportunity for this board and administration toar so our coaches are doing the best they can like no no instructions they're gu right um but we know we're a small community and we know that when you have a kid that's in two or three scores and each of the scores has their own fees and fundraising and to of it it up then you got to go buy the equipment that you're specific ORS top of that so it's how do we're not over espe not a specific immediate to raise fund so as I understand what happens right now is a lot of atic teams either they ask

046parents for fees or there's fundraisers but that gets paid into an account of the boosters so it's like like you're kind of directed to pay that to boosters boosters hold the money and then at some point to the the different teams so it sounds like what we're going need to do probably boosters as well to determine the process for fundraising because it sounds like theirs is different but those are our coaches I think that are leading the fundraisers are okay yeah that needs to probably be something coming to us for us to hold I think it so I just say that I was and again M just happen to be in front of us the track so just see but you know right right there so there's you know $7,000 I get's saying I need

047equip and if it's mean there's a need and everybody but if we're just colleting money and holding it then than I think and again not AIS M he's you know he works hard to to get the kids what they need but like how do we make sure too that there's enough resources in the community for all the needs of the different sure yeah so I I just I just throw that out there I know I gave Matthew a list of the boosters had provided to um but really just the opportunity like everybody's doing good work make sure we're not overburdening the community with fundraising there's not a specif absolutely we'll take a look at that IDE shouldn't any studentes for a sport through the district not the boosters yeah so I think student like athletic

048team fees those should flow through the district fundraiser it might beiser so but yeah we'd have to really we need to look at that and I know already um uh boosters is having a change over in Treasure they're potentially to change over in presidency so there's going to be this opportunity for like let's all come together make sure that we're all throwing in the same direction you know things like that so yeah I think timing is now is a good one yeah yep so I'm just going to go to the items on the consent agenda the first would be the second reading and action of the policies so one's about positive behavior interventions staff conduct and then executive sessions so the executive session one is uh recommendation out of osba same with the Positive Behavior

049one the staff conduct is just making the expectations of our our staff who hold a state license um the same expectations for those who don't so staff who don't hold a state license would be individuals that secretaries cafeteria workers and custodial maintenance type employees and there are times that they're dealing with money they're interacting with the public and interacting with students uh related to policy osba is our advisor and they have a large set that they need to uh send us in their first quarter of 2025 which is typically February talking with a consultant uh last Tuesday they were hoping to open it up but legislative changes continue and so they want to hold that set until um a later date that they could at least try to have all those changes captured um it's

050it's like a a running Carousel so I don't know if you'll be able to find a time to stop and step off but they said that they didn't want to issue a bunch and then some of those have to get pulled back and now Bo to takeing action on stuff that's already out of date um so those policies uh once we have them we'll review them and they'll come to the board for a first reading and then a second reading as we item two uh the high school course uh course guide so it's attached for this coming school year um and also attached are the changes um they um we're removing modern making modern media and we're replacing it with stem building Minecraft that's kind of what Julie did and then also discreet math for

051computational perspective okay that sounds like really high math so above a superintendent level math class there so no that's good again Julie talks about how we offer these rigorous courses on campus which provide that student student life experience here um the next two are uh CCP Partnerships so we have students enrolling in Lorraine County Community College and then also tiffan University and so we have these agreements as far as just charting the course for that next is the Athletic Conference membership so the recommendation is that um for the 206 27 school year we would leave this indes Bay and join a newly formed conference yet to be Nam so Tim and Matthew are here to provide additional details uh really the ads of the um of the districts uh do the day-to-day working together on

052scheduling and all that kind of stuff the way the conference is structured though the voter the voting right sits with the high school principal so um the ad committee can make up all sorts of great things and then the principal committee can say thanks but no thanks so this has gone through that process of the ads reviewing it and I'm going to stop and let them take overly and just just answer any questions that you might have um so that we just request permission to withdraw from the seski bay conference effective at the end of the 2526 school year create a new 10 Team league with the following schools BW for Clinton Clyde Norwalk sanduski Colombian Perkins Vermilion and Edison um I I don't I don't know how far and how deep you want me

053to go on this but if you have questions for me go ahead I know syusy has already voted to accept this correct can you tell tell us what schools have already voted to accept this that's all going to their board members so it just depends on when their board meeting was dated so I think we're fifth or six right now so just I think we we've kind of gotten the why behind the what on this previously but for the benefit of the the public um um can you just give like a real quick overview as to why this is why this change is Happ yeah um the goal of the SBC was always to get to uh 24 schools and divide those to eight eight and eight um and one of the beauties of this

054league was that it really benefited a school like that didn't have a league to play in like if they had soccer at their school but they didn't have the other seven schools didn't we would they would come up to the bay or they would come up to the lake um as time went on with scheduling and trying to entice other schools to come into our league we found that we accepted 13 schools that were all River size and then as en small right yeah and as enrollment declined here with us and here on we became Riv size we became one of those small schools so you know by our bylaws in in the SBC they talk about we should move down and at that time it was Willard would move up and or Lakota would

055move up and take our place in the bag so that they uh respectfully declined that offer and um they have the voting power because they have the majority um so it became became a source of frustration for other schools uh Edison was in the same situation two years ago because they go on uh the two-year count every other every other year so it just became frustration that we became it's almost like an impass like nothing was working you know uh Bay Schools go up and play Lake schools out of a mandatory crossover um and when we look down to the river school and say could you do that for the Bay Schools that was respectfully declined you know you know so we had a situation where our Bay Schools were traveling 3 to four hours

056on a bus to play a sport when they crossed and that team in the river had the exact same schedule open and it just didn't happen and a lot of that comes with discrepancy of sizes of of enrollment and why they did that but it just it just it became obvious that this wasn't going to work anymore and so we U the schools that I listed decided like for the best interest of us it we would withraw from the SBC and Crea a movie and just one more point on that whole thing is that with all the different sports there's actually seven different combination of who's in your conference seven different combinations of who's in your conference you just kind of look at that and just like that's where's the Rivalry you know where you

057know when where's the you know the passion in games and you really want to beat that team and things like that so it just it just didn't we tried they tried for you know a decade and it just didn't work thank you then item f is continuation of our membership with Ohio High School Athletic Association sorry I didn't I didn't know if Matthew had anything here wanted to contribute to the conversation I'm up in talking sense and um I think one of my big things was travel time so you talk about um soccer for example uh Vermon traveling to Old for you're on traing to Old Fort I mean it becomes kind of a you know Northwood comes in next year you've got wood so you're talking a lot of travel time on a week

058night for soccer game girls play at 7 boys play at 7 they're not getting home till 10:30 11 o' at night so um that was another thing to keep consistent with travel time said and then our week four Saturday game or week four Michigan team yeah this this will address that yeah this year um we had a week four opening which is consistent every year um and that that's pretty tough um you you start to talk football um one two3 is usually non-conference and anything like week one could be non-conference week two be non-conference but I would say majority um of schools in Ohio stop after week three and then they start their conference play well in our unique situation we have week four as a non-conference game so finding teams is kind of tough

059so this year last year they played a team from Michigan and this year um the travel time time was tooo great for Dayton dunar to come play us in football so um we played on Saturday well in the same breath of kind of what uh Mr lamb said um Margaretta also had an opening um week four and they we didn't that didn't happen so um I know that Mr C had reached out when he was here last year and nothing ever happened so um that was that was frustrating but um that's obviously was before I I started so um that's that's a great example of the time where seems pretty easy to play but it just didn't happen see that end andew Tim the new conference to be named later will there be like essentially

060guarantees or rules in there uring um scheduling or commitments to schedule so that we don't find ourselves back here especially situationally like I don't know some program gets strong for a few years and then nobody wants to play you know those are those are not longterm strategic right like we talked we talked like um essentially like having your C to kind of thing like um we're not going to be doing that um we've talked already just preliminary conversation has been um playing your every team your conference so it' be the the new conference essentially be two divisions within that conference um you play everyone of yours twice and then you do a mandatory crossover um and we have a whole schedule kind of made out um I think through 2030 already so um that was

061kind of something that you know you're mandatory crossovers two teams from the the other conference and then um that would rotate per season so the in the fall You' play two different ones in the winter you play two different ones and then in the spring you'd play one different one but then one that you play in the fall so and that rotates every year where like okay team you played in the fall in 2026 in 20 27 is it goes two years and then the team you play and that team is now your winner crossover so um it it's kind of it's using but um it makes sense when you look down and you say okay we're not playing you know just for example so like you said someone gets really good at girls basketball

062I don't have the option to say hey we're good this year you know like um if they're in the mandatory crossover we have to point so y thank you question right thank you both uh so then the Ohio High School membership we'll continue that uh we have letter item G is school bus Charter services so different uh um educational Partners or um government entities have asked for uh support with transportation services so those are listed there certified staff there's just two items uh twice a year staff can make a salary Advance based on additional educational credits U so there's two of those this year or this this time the next time would be September we those uh for classified recommendations we have a resignation from a cafeteria worker um she loves the job she loves

063working with the kids so she actually is getting scooped up by our North Point room doing a longer day working with the kids so good for her staying you know in our in our service realm um but uh you know we got to find another cafer work and so that leads to um last month the board approved uh change assignment for an educational Aid and opened up four and a half hours and so we have that replacement here um previously uh approved was a resignation for retirement she's asked to move that from March of 26 to May 30th of 26 and so that's what we have there we have Matthew SS as director of activities in athletics advancing from his one-year limited contract to a two-year limited contract and um I'd just like to say

064that uh working with Matthew I he and I meet uh I'm his evaluator he and I meet weekly to just touch base make sure everything's going well as I look at his evaluation key accomplishments for this year he has three first is social media and branding improvements for here on activities in athletics he's knocking that out of the park with his social media presence and his branding guide that he's created and issued to all coaches so that we have clean and uh like pix non pixelated data friendly um branding his second key accomplishment is the game day environment and student involvement with game day uh activities and I've gotten feedback from various community members staff um complimenting the student experience for kids um at the game last week um it was a pretty Rowdy student

065section appropriately Rowdy student section um and so that was uh that was fun to see and then the last is performing his day-to-day responsibilities which uh in year one he's accomplished those as well as I talked with Matthew I said Matthew looking forward for the next two years what should be expecting out of your office and he shared that he's already working on an advisor and coaching handbook setting the rules of the road making those expectations written and clear for all that are involved in his Department uh looking at onboarding processes how to improve those so that people understand the one Heron mentality the culture of hereon and tradition of Excellence um that we have he's also looking at uh re revising and improving the student handbook and agreements that they uh sign as being

066extracurricular participant he shared that uh this year he's been working on being sure that all coaches and advisers receive an evaluation um and then down the road he could see that evaluation tool being refined so it's more informative and more um goal setting and proactive as oppos of just reactionary um one comment he got from from a coach longtime coach was in the last 12 years this is his first evaluation so um he's addressed that sort of immediate need regarding that and then building and processes are to come uh he talked with me about continuing to develop uh coaching selection and succession planning which tied back to evaluation process and then strategic review of U coaching compensation and Staffing Resources and needs and Staffing and resources needs uh strategic review and one example he had

067was talking about strength and conditioning programs um there is um I don't want to say inequity but access to the weight room and access to a um rigorous strength and conditioning program is really program based so if you have a coach who knows that stuff and is available to open up those spaces then you you get greater access than one who's not um so looking at that uh continuing to build collaborative uh and support collaboration with support groups like The boosters so like we talked about being more um understanding of what are we collecting fees for and what are you collecting fundraisers for would be one example of that boosters relationship and then that leads into then uh improving Financial governance uh budgeting fundraising efforts and things like that so those are aspirational uh I

068would say with a two-year limited contract he would have time to be working on those then um and so that's on the agenda today uh also we have uh some uh exempt staff coverage for long-term leave and then approving additional substitutes I'd like to thank Chad for his recruiting efforts on substitutes um it's one of those things that used to be seasonal used to be like the August September time we're trying to recruit for the new school year and then like the December January we're trying to recruit for the new semester anymore is ongoing and continuous so we're thankful for all the staff that maybe do extra hours to cover a co-workers uh vacancy at the end of the day we need more subs uh it's a great way to be involved in the school

069it's a great way to see kids in a different way than you know uh being just a parent uh we have a lot of parents that are great subs for us and they know the kids they care about the kids and they see them in a different way um on this list here there's at least two maybe three that are aspiring to to explore that whole bus driver opportunity so to yep thanks uh so classes on board instructing testing with the state all that fun stuff uh that takes time so if someone today raises their hand and say I want to be a bus driver it's probably going to be three to four months before they're actually behind the wheel independently driving a Lo Bus kids so uh it does take time but uh so

070thank you to Chad for recruiting uh always send uh people who have interest send them our way um and again if you um you can only give so much time in a day so hey I know the secretary work eight hours but I can really only work four or six we'll take that four or six as opposed to not having that sub at all so um so reach out to the building principles myself or chat and we'll get you going item J we have supplementals uh so these are the final spring supplementals uh I believe this is it as far as supplementals for this school year and uh in may we would start U renewing or approving supplemental for the new school year and then stien we have one uh one of our new employees

071who's seeking to be a ticket taker so that compation there's any other questions membership I just wanted I saw Matthew's post today about Lakota charging $5 to cars at a district basketball game never heard of that before like I I'm just not sure like how we get a feedback clue back to the ohsaa but like the money grabed at some of these events has gotten like beyond disgusting um it's just it's it's ridiculous so I would say the money grab you're right there's a money grab and it's mostly the biggest hand is Ohio High School atic Association no question no question without a doubt so what is that coming from the allowing it or is that just saying why not let me see if we can get more money out of these FKS so that's

072uh Ohio High School Athletic Association allowing it so um a few years ago when you hosted you used to get a portion of the ticket sales you used to get additional s from Ohio High School Athletic Association to pay for your gate workers scoreboard workers and and the rest um they scale back those stien payments and the districts who host don't get any of the gate money um even then districts were allowed to charge for a parking fee so they were allowed to charge parking uh I've been to events where um you know it's uh the school sends it off to a booster group or PTA PTO and says you want to have people out here collecting money go ahead and do it so that is one that's been a longstanding and thankfully not a

073lot of schools take take advantage of it uh having a a child of my own that was in several playoff games the last many years there are districts that do it and there's districts that don't so um yeah that that one though is more decision on top of that pay ticket or whatever it is it's just and I would say Ohio High School listened to people last year when they were charging astronomical amounts and now they scal those back and they definitely have a reasonable five I think it's $5 for students which is nice so thankfully uh working with Chad and Ma um they at least for the parking with students uh we're offering a spirit bus uh for Thursday's game and so the students will be able to save some money by not have

074to pay for that parking I didn't know they were doing that okay um and uh the other note is that uh Ohio high school region Northwest region District uh has informed us that our game starts at 5:30 not the previous the post at 6 o' so we're working get that word out and when I talked to the uher I said so what do I do when I have a Community member that shows up at 550 thinking they're going to see tip off at 6 what do I tell she didn't have a great answer for that one but uh the other was what do I do when I have to get elementary kids home and we don't have a bus driver because they're out running the the team to the event and she didn't have a

075great answer for that either and so I finally said well what if our team doesn't get till 5:15 because that's when the bus service is available uh she did she declined my request for money to pay for a charter um but she you know so we're working with them Chad's doing a nice job getting the bus drivers covered and obviously I didn't share with her that both Chad and I came gra the bus so uh I may be behind the wheel Thursday but that's okay uh that's all part of the fun um but um some of the other reasons they're changing it is Lota did have trouble getting one set of fans out and the other in in time for an on time start and they don't want the second game to get too delayed

076because are getting super late um and the other obviously that our opponent has two teams playing the same night at two different location so if that was us with two teams playing two different locations I would hope the other team would be accommodating as well so so we're making it work but just again I'm going to say it 5:30 tip off so get there early um because you're there at 550 you're going to miss Happ the action so but yeah that's I didn't know's do anything else any other questionss okay um we need a motion for consent agenda items under sections 5 through Mr Rager Mrs heners Mrs heartley yes yes discussion action items yeah so the first item is the stakeholder facility committee um obviously best not here but Chris is on there too

077so Chris I don't know if you want to K it off sure we um last time I think we had update here we we um had New Direction on which way we wanted to look at for AGG to give some more input on the um cost of of those activities to renovate the schools and add on to two sites at the high school and McCormick um we're still waiting on that that work they're working on that and uh we plan to meet March 9th to review that information and with the full committee again and um see where we go from there say it's to add on at M and sorry W okay no it's okay would be so but I would just say uh Mike and I and administrators have been attending those Community meetings

078and really the discussion is good it helps inform you know what is it that we need to meet our students needs our instructional needs and what is it that the community wants to see out of their facilities so I think it's been good to you know sort of slow down a little bit and get that from the community stakeholders uh and when we come out with um when the committee comes out with a recommendation it'll it'll be from the community as opposed to from the administration so yep Item B um 2025 commencement May 30th 2025 so um I can kick this off just um when the calendar was posted for the 24 school year back in February of 23 uh it included the the commencement date of this Friday May 30th um it's traditionally in

079the last several years been Fridays um I think a lot of times it's been the Friday of the holiday weekend because prior to then it might have been on Sundays um and then when the holiday happened I don't think anyone wanted it during the middle of the holiday weekend so it was really to kick that weekend and have commen this year uh the holiday is the Monday before and then we have a scholarship Awards night at Wednesday uh and then Friday is commencement you know Friday morning kicks off with the seniors parade and all that fun stuff um and we roll into commencement that evening um I hear the concerns that uh parents have and we have had um extra curriculars happen during a commencement and we always work to make it special so is

080it the same of course it's not uh do we work to make it special for the kids who have a have a school conflict we do uh we will do that again this year for any kids that do um and um I don't know if there's any more you guys want me to say about this year's Comm I I justess I mean I I understand and I'm very empathetic to the parents that are here that have seniors graduating that are torn between you know graduating with their friends and and the that goes along with that but also participating in a sport that they worked for four years so hard and showing school spirit and showing up and and doing that sport I empathize with you I don't think it's it's an easy decision I I

081guess I wish you know it's not the board didn't set commencement date it was on the school calendar we approved the calendar back in what 2023 um so I you know I it's a it's a really tough tough situation and like Dr tatman said we have had this happen before we've had it happen with boys baseball and you know we had administrators go out to the baseball field the players took their caps and gowns and their families were there and they did do a very special graduation ceremony for them there and the majority of the parents thought it was really kind of cool that they got their own special graduation ceremony um I I don't I honestly don't think there's a winwin situation in this situation um I think the best thing we can do

082is have foresight and change it for the following school year but that being said that's just one one opinion and I obviously don't have any skin in this game with the child graduating and it doesn't affect my students graduation or sporting event so I to in February of 23 we were still in the boys were in the division that they were in that it would have been a Saturday not that we had the foresight to look that far ahead it's a Saturday but but um this change happened with the divisional change and um so um and I and I know too I heard from some parents that you know my my daughter wants to go cheer for her teammates and so now she has to decide between commencement anding for two minutes and yeah that

083that doesn't sit well with me either um so also tonight um you know I heard if not now into the future so looking at the 26 2 uh sorry 25 26 school year calendar um not sure if that was in an Omission uh or if we did it for a reason back then but commencement is not listed on the calendar so looking at what we've typically done it would be May 29th Friday May 29th that's again not the holiday weekend so as we get ready to set the 27 commencement for the 26 graduates I would suggest that we're looking at potentially that Sunday the 31st because it's not a holiday weekend and it would definitely avoid any extra activ so um so not that that's a recommendation tonight but that's a thought that's kicking around

084well and I have a question real quickly about there was there was some talk about fact then on a Sunday it could be more difficult to have staff available to run graduation I mean is I I don't recall obviously their staff that's there and they're cring kids and they're doing graduation um you know Mr lamb is a big part of graduation you're a big part of graduation the board you know gets to be part of graduation but aside from that you know we have the band we have kids that are or the crowd that would sing um and then there are staff that show up to honor the graduates and then there staff that show up because they want to give their graduates their diploma um am I missing I mean do we have janitorial

085staff I know they set up the field tear down the field is that an issue on a Sunday um I would say for a Sunday you might see a dip in staff participation but we have staff that care about the students that they serve both teaching staff and support staff uh if we said hey we're doing this ceremony on on a Sunday and we need help setting up in down we would find staff to get it done so um staff aren't paid to come to commencement it's out of like the love of their students and the love of the district that they come so I think that would carry through to a Sunday participation thank everybody for sharing how they feel about this issue because having one who just graduated I have one uh coming

086up in a couple years so I certainly appreciate like one of those moments you want for your your kids and your family my concern about like the the setup today is if there's another side or another point of view to this issue those folks they're not going to be HT tonight because they don't know necessarily that this is on the table so I do think like this time last year I a senior and based on a schedule we had booked airbnbs through a to family and you know made uh we had family who had made PL reservations to be on a Friday night um if we were if that would have changed this time last year that would have been really tricky like they would have created Downstream consequences for other folks so I I

087just lay that out because I I think unfortunately where we are timing wise this is a hard adjustment to make at this point in time I fully think it's something we ought to look at in the in the future I mean I if when I graduated 1996 we did back then graduate on Sunday um back then we worked with the churches um obviously you got to have your worship Services happen in the morning so we wouldn't want to interfere with that but there was actually like a back ceremony that happened um and then that kind of kicked off graduation so um you know it was done in the past and obviously the last years gone to Friday nights but to me if we're going to make a change I think we owe it to the

088whole group to do it with enough advanced notice that people whoi onso and I'm sorry I wish I had a solution junky situation to be in from one side or the other I have a question I was looking at the schedules and so last last year's weekend was the same weekend as like for track Regional was the same graduation date as the DAT published for that I don't know the score well when they did everything so were you just saying that the our division change changed which day we are on and that was after we approved of last several years track boys and girls go to the same location same this year the boys had did they go up or down they went down and the girls went up the girls so now we're going

089to two different sites on two different days and I mean Ohio high school I guess they just friendly reminded us that they're boys and girl Sports it's not like track is a boys track and girl track so whatton it's a good clip it's not this year though so again in February 23 we we didn't we wouldn't been able to know this better it's tough because and really you know we should do everything we can to avoid sanction Ohio high school you know sporting event or events the other but it's hard it's already almost March is there any Merit to this trying to do some kind of Parental Survey Monkey to see those that aren't here to talk about the other side to throw input in or is that just make it even more I think

090even if like well I think one Grant bow provided us a petition signed by students and um I'm going to guess Tim how many graduates do we have 90 we have 100 okay of the 100 students Mike how many sign it so not that that's an official survey um even if we had a survey where a good number of parents would like move it I don't know if just I'm just I'm just out there everyone has said it's really un so you said the boys at 5 5:00 only I know on a time they're not running at they could be running be rning at 9 right Julie wrote down like a 730 commen com under the lights but that would AIC yeah it's I mean would the for like a survey to go out I

091mean I don't want to the to find a solution that works for every I I I mean I I I feel like we're punishing kids for being good at a sporting event and wanting to show up for their school to do well by not I don't know just it's a really hard not this is absolutely like a is there something you could think about for the rehearsal that happens but like Friday morning where it's not as good as being there Friday night but at least you'd have C SCS all the classmates there and a chance at least to recognize folks what's that I mean I just so you're saying like invite parents to dress yeah certainly I mean I I'd be there that's something I'd be happy to be there not that we the Highlight

092but make it more official yeah I I hate not having a better so typically we don't have parents add dress for us so we opening it up to them is is getting us closer I know Mom in the front here she's not happy I think that's a really inter idea I really do I mean you still get you're graduating on with your friends not all all of yours parents are obviously but all your friends are going to be there and I'm assuming dress person on Friday morning the band could be present and the f brain make it so did you just say you do it Thursday or You' have a rehearsal Thursday do Friday morning second re and then on Friday um we' got them there their captive I think we're starting this year at

09310: a.m. uh so we go through the practice line everybody up you've gone through graduation a couple times now you you've seen the you know Cy does a great job with it but there's a lot of fun that goes into that so we would want to make sure that we got those Kinks out first you know and then do a dry run with it and um go through it that way might even ask you to give a speech give a speech at the graduation so we'll see yeah so we can do some things like that we you know I'll work with Brook and we'll create something my personal feel is that we should try to figure something out because of the change and divisions and everything and it's Ohio High School sanction sporting event I

094mean I don't know it's it's kind of late though to just change it to Sunday I mean there's a whole lot of other people Stacy that aren here that may have whatever we definitely need to take that into account like potential high school schedule but you don't know the division change like that i' say again we should look at Sunday going forward but I think we also have to be mindful Thea does crazy things so mean if I recall right not still here I think there were softball State final games being played on Sunday because now there's seven there's seven divisions that have to get played out over a weekend so if I remember right when play they were playing or somebody was playing on a Sunday so I just I caution to say that

095we could like literally change everything and me as a mom of a softball player if that's the problem we're having my daughter would be estatic right like of having to to work that out but um you know we're kind of at the mercy of an entity that is not obviously at $5 parking within our control or even necessarily exercising good judgments or what's best for kids all the time right what is about honor those students that are going to be possibly running competing in I think it's not it's not perfect but I think a time where everybody's already going to be there and going through that process so if it's the parents of those kids who would actually I I think it seems like the best we do we need to make a motion hearing

096board members committing toing to and see welome to be excused like we we'll take no offense to so annually in March mik Mike and I are invited to the uh County offices uh to conduct what is called the tax incentive review council meeting um Mike is the voting member that represents the district at that uh at that you have six voter six members that vote so the are County auditor the county assistant prosecutor administrator regional planning director representative from the city of on and representative the schools um at that meeting we review all of the tips that are uh on record or on file with the county um and there's discussion for continuation or not of those last year at the meeting uh there was one on the agenda that the property had changed hands

097so it changed ownership and um at the time of the passage of it the it was a requirement that the owner have I think it was like 35 or 40 employees actively at that site um and that was also not being fulfilled so I think the s's vac now um but at that meeting um one of the representatives I can't remember who the minutes would show it U made a motion to terminate that Tiff because of those reasons changed ownership and U they weren't needing the number of employees at the site condition um so so that meeting's coming up for Mike and I here March 12th again at the count offes um one that came up uh with recent activities in the community uh was discussion about um the KRA property Tiff that was awarded

098back in December of 2022 and so um that one is still in effect uh I think applicable for the the new project so I bring it up I don't know no so so what what the question is is does the board have the ability to terminate or resend this TI agreement and from what I understand you're telling me that the board can make a motion to appoint Mike to make a motion after this meeting to resend or terminate the Tiff from 2023 and so we need to decide as a board do we want to direct M to because the scope of the project that we approved that to for has changed um it's not the same company it's not the scope of project and I think it I think it would be foolish to leave

099that in place but that's something that the Board needs to direct mros to do when he goes to that meeting just it was it 2022 or 2021 December of 21 and I'll tell you why that because it was the very last meeting we' already beened and I had already been elected but hadn't been sworn in yet like it was literally a week later during and the city came with and I spoke meeting and actually meeting and you The Treasure of the time not reflect what I actually said which was listen like the new board should be voting on it and and we should be um you know taking into account what we heard about C from Community during the election which was hey why are we giving away these tax incentives when they can't like

100especially at that time we were like almost at danger of running that that particular project offered very few jobs at least some jobs in that project the new project offers no jobs it's highend condos um you know it's what is this doing it's not meeting a need in our community per maybe it's a want of a few people but it seems like um and I don't have the I used to do the math on I don't have it today but I know that we're talking about it to that would be under Theo about $6 million and maybe more would go towards building like a sea wall for the condos so that like that along the river that thator it up so that they can have nice dos for nice boat this isn't what the needs

101we here we are struggling to like Cobble together schools that are safe and functional and we're in a little town and this is where instead of money coming here to Ser purp for talking build a new Rich summer people I don't get it I don't get why I didn't get it then it bothered me then respectfully Jody because she were on the board back time it bothered me then that the board uh that a lame board approved it because and it bother me that the city asked because well if they came to us a week later they would have had it would so if we have any opportunity to make that right for the community I think we owe we owe it to the community to ask that question you know and and we go

102we go from there we've seen that when good good Investments right Community need to happen break they're paying what is it $350,000 a year they put Mone um and people will pay to be if it's an economically feasible project if it's not you literally have to pay somebody to take property S8 million to take property one has to an I'll make a motion to authorize Mr to how do we want to that the vote toin that's in 2021 but I want you I just want to make it clear to to the board that when goes toting and to this someone else at this meeting has to Second his motion for it to Beed or dissolve so you know we're at some of these you know County administrators will if they're going to Second it so
