001All right, let's do the pledge. Salute to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Granger, I was looking for the digital clock [Music] and I had to go back and say, is it 5:30 yet? All right, Chuck. Yeah. So, we'll just start off on uh just up it's the annual time to update the on on some board member changes and so uh we got the acknowledgement to receipt of the election certificates for for Rick and Randy seat. Obviously, they ran on the post. So, congratulations to both of you. Thank you. And then next up is the discussion and possible board action for the annual appointment of officers. And I'll leave that to you guys. Have
002you talked to Scott? Is he willing to be president? He is. Okay. Um unless there's any discussion, I nominate Scott to be president of the school board for the next year. There any any discussion? No. No. Okay. I think you have discussion before you know. Mhm. I I I I I Are you willing to be the vice president? I am willing to serve as the vice president. Thank you. I I nominate you to be the vice president. All right. Thank you. And clerk or deputy clerk? I'll second. Second. Okay. Any discussion? No. I I I I I All right. So I think the next one then is um the clerk since I just moved onto a different one. So um I would nominate Kinder Shamhart as clerk if she's willing. Yes, I am. Second. Any
003discussion, Miss Shamart? I I I I I now running the meeting. Okay. Thank you. [Laughter] All right, we'll move on to um spotlight. Yeah, I think is going to introduce our rooms on the run lead mentors from our six elementary schools. Caleb is so excited. I think she wants to be a mentor. We can make that happen, Caleb. Yeah, that can happen, Caleb. Um, so we'd like to recognize all of our Bruins on the run mentors at the end of our season. This is our sixth season that we just wrapped up. Um, unfortunately it was a little disappointing because the Kife 10K race, which is our season ending run, um, although our kids and our mentors were ready, I think, uh, it was pouring down rain and freezing cold and windy and we just made
004the call not to run. Uh, so we didn't have our end of the season race, but they did have a great season with, of course, the Bruin AK this fall. Um, and then they trained up to that 10K race, had a great, uh, sitebased, uh, pizza party right before it. Um, we added up the hours. I think each of our mentors spends about 60 hours, uh, mentoring our students, which we greatly appreciate. They all do that on a volunteer basis. Um, and they just put a ton of energy behind the program. Um, not just getting the kids across the finish line, but really making it fun, making them feel special, making them want to be a part of this program. uh we have more and more kids at every site every year wanting to be
005involved and it's because of our mentors. So tonight we could not bring in 58 mentors which is what we have. So we brought in our six lead mentors. They of course do all the mentoring things that all of our mentors do but um they also are responsible for um helping organize our kids at every site and leading the practices and the trainings and and gathering our mentors together. So um with that I'll just start recognizing um our six mentors. Um we only have three four of them here today. We've got Shelby Thompson. And if you'll just come up, Shelby, and we'll get a quick photo. Bring your certificate. Yes, we appreciate Lacy making those for us. So, this is Shelby. She's our lead mentor at Hoover. Uh she's done an awesome job. We struggled with
006some um numbers at our mentor and student level at Hoover, but Shel's done a great job taking the lead and increasing those numbers for us, so we appreciate her. Then we have Janine Lee at Jane Phillips. And Janine is uh the person that we can send out on our routes and scope them out for us. Whether that's for the Bruin AK or she helped us um decide that it was definitely a good call not to run the 10K. So we appreciate her. And then Lindsay Sederson is at Wayside. Lindsay always has tons of kids obviously because it's Wayside. Um and we always worry about having enough mentors, but somehow she makes it happen encouraging her mentors to to participate so our kids can all have a safe and quality experience. And then we have Tasha
007Poch. She is our lead mentor at Wilson and she does a ton with her team to make sure that all of our kids all of our kids have a great time and keep coming back so they run the halls and do lots of fun things. Um Tasha is also our program coordinator. You guys might reme remember that from last year. Um she helps out with a lot of the communication between our parents and our mentors and our students. She deals with the race registrations, with coordinating the transportation, a lot of the logistical things so that I don't have to deal with that. So, we're grateful for Tasha. All right. So, thank you guys very much. So, I think we had 117 students this year. Um, and again, 58 mentors. So, that's pretty much on par
008with um what we've had in the past. We had to make some tricky calls at at Ranch Heights due to just our our numbers, but um it's a good problem to have and um so we're hoping to keep going, keep growing. Uh the other two mentors that are not present today, we have Celeste Clement at Kain and then we have um Hannah Michael at Ranch Heights. They just couldn't be here. Thank you guys. Thank you. So, we have a couple of videos that are made through the state chamber and so I think they're about three minutes each. Technology cooperate. It's still It's music. Yeah. Right there. Learning all the ropes and hats and hoses. Let's go back to the I always wanted to be a firefighter ever since I was really little. And Ella Goodwin
009is making her dreams come true, learning all the ropes and hats and hoses. There's a lot more training, I think, than people realize. If she looks young to be a firefighter, well, she is. Ella is realizing her goals much sooner than most. The 18-year-old is close to becoming a firefighter in her hometown of Blessville, thanks in part to an internship program. We have people working with plumbers, with commercial electricians. These are just practice reps for kids within different careers. Uh so it's not just that traditional pathway for our kids. We're kind of opening up because it's life ready is not necessarily college ready anymore. Bartlesville High School set up their program to let kids get hands-on with future careers. Thanks to recent changes in state graduation requirements, those two hours on the job that Ella
010spent at Washington County each day her senior year, well, they can be counted as credits, allowing Goodwin to graduate on time with a head start in the real world. The internship program gave me the opportunity to kind of get more into it and see like the actual what it's really like. That's uh been a goal of ours for a long time is trying to recruit younger folks uh into emergency services, particularly the fire services. Many of the certification classes needed have been taken at career tech. So, Ella is close to becoming a firefighter because she's she's been able to obtain the training and stuff through the internship program and beyond that. Uh a lot of beginning firefighters uh even when they reach 22, 23, 24 may not have reached those benchmarks yet. Thanks to the
011internship, she knows she wants a career as a first responder and her bosses know she'll make a good one. getting to work with these young folks and and seeing them in that daytoday uh setting in the office and seeing their work ethic, seeing their uh their attitude, their behavior, how they approach certain tasks. Uh especially if they find something challenging, how do they meet those challenges? And that gives us a better idea of what that candidate or that intern uh might uh turn out to be as a as a full-time employee. Employers, educators, and students alike say internships and apprenticeship programs are well worth a shot. I would say go for it because any real world experience you can get while you're young, you're building connections. You're starting that growth earlier on. But if we
012want life ready kids here in Oklahoma with this businessfriendly environment that that we boast and we probably have, we've got to get kids practice rest [Music] this incred work on whatever the current project is. I've always felt like I provide value. Um, I've always felt like I receive uh real assignments. Owen May is a senior at Bartlesville High. Through his school, he's going downtown to do a 2-hour daily internship at Philip 66 in the HR department. I'm more sure that business is like the correct uh career path for me. Um, I I know I want to stay local and uh oil and gas is a big deal in Oklahoma, so I feel more sure about my future. Thanks to recent changes in Oklahoma graduation requirements, high school students like Owen will be able to use
013their internship credits towards their diploma, putting them on a faster track to a career decision and lifetime success. that they get that experience and it allows them to figure out is this something that I want to continue to to pursue so that they are life ready so many times in the past we would say are they collegebound are they college ready and we want through the internship program to make them life ready and work ready just a no-brainer I mean this is an opportunity for us to give real world experience um both for as a you know a future employer but as a student what a great opportunity to uh find out hey I think this is what I want to do but let's go find out let's go see if this is really the
014good fit that I think it is. Um, and before I go spend 4 years or 2 years, whatever it may be, 8 years um, in in studying this, let's go find out if I really think this is the fit I think it is. Bartens High has some 65 interns this year working in a number of fields all over Washington County. But school administrators know there could be more. The internship program is a workforce development tool for any community out there. And for every Bartisville, uh, there's a NOWA and there's an Alva, there's an Altus that needs something like this so they can grow and retain their own workforce. So if you can reduce the barriers of entry, just basic free market principles, so that we reduce the liability on our business partners, that's going to
015open up more doors for our young Oklahomaans. So they're not going out to Texas, they're not leaving to California and to the East Coast and they're staying here in Oklahoma. While students get the experience, employers benefit, too. You think about this kind of like a working interview. As an employer who doesn't like that opportunity to really be able to find out, is this going to be a good fit and then to to develop a relationship with a kid before they go off to uh get that degree or get that certificate, whatever it may be, they are they're in known quantity at that point in time. You know what you're getting back. As for the students, they know internships are a great way to start down the road to their career goals and ambitions. School's only
016until the end of high school or only until the end of college, but um an internship is like especially one where you're getting really valuable experience. You're you're setting yourself up for the future and you know really like thinking about your next step. So, I would definitely recommend it to to anyone. U those videos were uh done by through the state chambers PR department too. They did there's others that they have as well, but kind of want to highlight our kids. They did a really really nice job. And Mr. Tucker came to say a few words for us. Yeah, Anthony. Good evening. So, I have Ella Goodwin with me. You saw her in the video. It has been you know the internship program has been instrumental for so many kids. We have 102 kids within
017the program uh this year that includes juniors and seniors and some changes in graduation requirements like was talked about in the videos has opened that up for some kids so they don't necessarily have to be credit rich uh to get those opportunities right so that opens up kids you know they might be on a different spectrum GPA wise right or academically how they performed but it gives them a shot to see a career pathway especially here in Biswell so Ella was able to serve with the Washington County Emergency Management with our friend Carrie Cox and that's kind of opened some doors for her. She also tested for the uh firefighter department uh here in the city of Bart as well. Uh but it all started with Carrie. So you were able to serve the uh
018county fire department as well during your time and be firefighter one program at Tri County Tech with our partner out there with career tech. Um so she's actually on the brochure right on the front. I don't know if she's super happy about that, but um but it's amazing because there's so many kids and I know seeing Michael Harp and Ladonna Chancellor and I know Chuck your time at the high school. There's so many kids that just need one door to open for them, right? And that's what we do when we're in this business and you guys on the board and us and the public ed. That's what our job is day in and day out to open those doors for those kids. And if they don't believe it, we have to believe it for them.
019So, um, really proud of Ella. Owen is Owen May is unable to be here. He's with, uh, Coach Ree and the tennis team down in Oklahoma City. So, his mom had text me and Michael earlier today and was like, "Oh, by the way, he can't make it." So, uh, appreciate the opportunity. We have great kids and we love for more stories to come out. And we have about 65 business partners in our community. So, of course, with our big partners downtown, but as well as the growth within small businesses, Ascension St. John, Jane Phillips Medical Center. Say that five times fast, you'll get tangled up. Uh, but they have grown. We have 40 kids serving clinical internships there. Uh, for next year, we have 70 applicants uh, for those 40 spots. Uh, so yeah, so
020it's a it's a great we have great partnerships out there and we're just excited to see more kids like Ella and Owen open up more doors for them and hopefully come back home, right, and grow our workforce here in our great community. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you. All right. Uh, public comment. All right. Moving into superintendent's report, teaching and learning update. Yeah, thank you. And before I turn it over to Leon, I just wanted to mention, you know, we've talked a lot about the anxious generation and cell phones. Um, this past Thursday, I substituted at Madison all day. I did a drawing for a teacher get a free vacation day and I was with uh Miss Tiffany Mun's seventh grade English class um all day on Thursday. And I didn't
021even think about it till class was over, but uh I didn't see a cell phone all day and I was in six different classes. I thought that was pretty thought people would want to know that that's a that was that's what happened at Now they're probably threatened with their lives. Yeah. But it worked. So anyway, okay, Lana. Well, there's if I could just join in with that. It seems like a lot of states are are considering Oh, yeah. I see it in the press all the time. A lot of states are considering no cell phones in schools. Yeah, it's happening. All right. Thank you. Okay. So, we recently um graduated, if you will, our third cohort of new teacher academy participants. So, we had a reception for them the first week of April. And um
022just really proud of this program. You know, over the last two years, we retained about 90% of the teachers that we've brought through that program and looking forward to continuing that um as we go forward. All right. And we've had a little professional development recently. So we had a team of kindergarten teachers along with Stacy Bankston, principal at Wilson Elementary and Tiffany Hoover Tiffany Holmes, principal at Hoover Elementary. um went on a couple of site visits last week and they started out visiting a Leader andMe lighthouse school in Carolton, Texas to just really see what a Leader andMe school looks like in action. So, and you can see that's the picture on the right and that little fourth grade team of students led their tour and gave them all of the good info. So, they
023said it was very impressive. So, that was day one. Day two, they got to tour the Dr. Jandraco Academy for Early Learners in Mansfield, Texas, which is a school that I got to tour a couple of years ago. And um it's all playbased learning at this early learning center. And as part of our conversation with the anxious generation, not only have we been looking at screen time and limiting that, you know, especially for our younger learners, but also just play-based learning and how you balance that and um and they do an amazing job of that at this early learning center. So, just to give you a little um anecdotal feedback, um one of our veteran teachers that was on the trip was literally crying in the car on the way home was so excited to
024start and implement some of the things that they learned next year. So, um so that was a great trip for those for that team. Yeah. Early learners. So, is that school age still early learners or was it for Great question. It's prek. This building is prek. Now those same strategies we hope to replicate, our plan is to replicate those in prek and kinder. Okay. So yes. And I mean the picture looks really fun with some So is it is some of that play-based learning kind of dependent on re-imagining the classroom or are they able to start implementing some of those with our more traditional classroom setups today? Oh, great question. And actually a whole part the very last section of this workshop is okay I don't have a spaceship in my school. How do I
025make this work? So they talk about how you take your existing curriculum and you build all of the pieces and the strategies that they're using and really you just get away from so much sit and so much paper pencil. They're still doing a lot of the same activity, but it's just through activity based. And each student is paired up in twos. They do like it's very very structured. It's max 10 minutes seat time, then rotations for 30 minutes, like three or four minutes at a station, and then they move in two minutes. So, it's really they've got it down to really fine art. Yeah, it's really impressive. Yes. Okay. And then just a couple of save the dates for you. Um, Special Olympic sendoff is May 14th at 7:00 in Hillrest Drive Circle. So, we
026always love to go out and celebrate our Special Olympics as they're heading out. And then graduation May 23rd at 7 o'clock at Kuster Stadium. And there won't be rain, but just in case there is, we'll adjust and either go at a different time on Friday or on Saturday. So, that's it. That's all I got. Thank you. Thank you. We've got Caleb Robenstein. Uh unfortunately here for his last meeting we're not very happy about but okay I can see everybody but it's like I said I'm still going to be in Bartlesville so you know I might sit in and have a public comment from time to anyway. No uh construction update at Ranch Heights. Everything's going really well over there. Uh we did the punch walk two weeks ago in the new safe room area. Uh
027walked all the classrooms. Everything looks really good. Um as compared to Wayside, similar layout, similar construction, but just the the the team kind of knows our expectations a little better. So there was far less things that we kind of had to point out. So it was it's in a really good spot. And then uh the elevator is going good. We actually as a team we discussed pulling the start date up sooner and starting that sooner so we can kind of get the elevator uh the schedule to get it delivered more in a timely manner as opposed to pushing it out farther into the distance. So uh we jumped ahead on that one. So that one's going really well. Uh we've had some preliminary uh meetings and conversations around the moving out as it as it
028relates to some of the summer work where it talks about the interior renovations. So reviewed some of the uh renovated spaces. Uh we've gave Manhattan some dates for when those areas are going to be moved out. Um I've had some conversations with Chanda about uh you know moving spaces and how we're going to do that. Kind of just reiterated what we did at Wayside. So had some good conversations there and probably looking around the first of May to start moving stuff into the new classroom areas. So, the prek, the K classrooms, as they have stuff packed up and ready to be moved out, we'll move that into the new areas and kind of sit it in the middle of the room um to be able to kind of start that move out process. But overall,
029uh site work is going to start. They were supposed to believe due to asphalt today. I don't know with all the rain how well they're going to be able to get that done, but um the site's supposed to start they're going to start in that little courtyard area and kind of work their way counterclockwise out and then back to the north and then work on that parking lot area. So, but overall it's looking really well. Um they're in a good spot. Budget and schedule looks good. So, still not too late. I appreciate that. Any questions? Do you have a question? Well, I don't know whether to ask Kay Live or who to ask. Um, so I know those are our major efforts, but also this time of year, you also usually collect input from all
030the school sites on some summer projects just with some of our other Yeah, no, that's Are there any things that you have on the radar for the summer months? Yes. Um, we have multiple projects or uh requests at each site. So, for the past several weeks, I've been going through um a lot of the things on the board agenda tonight, I believe, are related to some of those schoolwork things. Um multiple POS as related to materials just so instead of trying to get it May, we're trying to push it up, get it approved today so we can start ordering materials for the summer projects. Um but yeah, anticipate doing projects at every site. uh each principal kind of put a top four to five list of things and we're trying to say okay yeah we
031can do this or this is probably going to be a little bit too expensive what are we going to do here what about this option um the Sedexo staff's going to perform some of them themselves in house for example Wilson uh Stacy requested um it's an IT closet where the server is they requested a wall to be built in there and then they requested some dimmable lights be installed in one of their special needs classrooms We actually did both those over spring break just to try to get ahead on that. And then we're taking some stuff that we've salvaged from Ranch Heights with this remodel and we're going to replace uh a door at Wilson that's been giving us some problems and some fit. So trying to get ahead of some of that stuff now.
032Um already talking with I've talked with Kyle and had a lot of good conversations with him as far as all right here's here's what we they're wanting done at this site. Um, but there's a shared list of docu There's a shared drive, I guess, is the right word, that has all that list of requests for each site. Um, so yeah, pricing stuff out, continuing to price stuff out and try to get it to everybody. So, thanks. Kyle Hendricks is the I guess his maintenance supervisor. Supervisor. He's was here before Caleb, but he's going to remain. So, he'll be he's kind of our will be our main contact in the transition before we get that position filled as well. Any other questions? Thank you, Caleb. Thank you. Still not too late. Okay, Preston. All right, so
033Granger. Hi. So, I'll start on page one. You can see the general fund. We are up about a million dollars, which is awesome. Uh spoilers though, if you go to page five, you will see we're down about a million in the building fund. That's all planned. Um, we are hoping again to try to finish June around the $4 million mark. And by controlling expenses, the reason we're up so much right now is a combination of things, but the biggest is we encumber or we pay a whole lot of payroll in June. And so I'm trying my best to keep uh liquidity in the general fund for that big payroll that comes out in June. So, long story short, um we're tracking well uh the local the local collections are actually interesting. Uh Sarah Vermeier, our
034wonderful uh treasurer business manager, she uh notified me that the reason our interest earnings are actually lacking behind last year's collections has to do with the fact that last year we were strictly using an IC or a sweep account. This year we're doing more long range uh interest. Well, you cash out those sweep accounts every month. The tea bills or whatever cash out every six months. So, we will see um it looks like our collections of interest earnings are low, but it just has to do with the timing of the payments. It's not nearly as low as um as it shows. Building fund real quick. I'll go to page five at rest of the we pay three months worth of payroll in June because we got to pay it before June 30th. Close our books.
035And so, it's every school does it. It's just a giant expense. If you look at our payroll expenses line for the month, multiply that times 2.9 and that's what comes out our bank account normally every June. Um building fund real quick. I'll go to the next page. Like I said, we're down about a million. Um the the interesting thing about that is um last year we were we got some local donations. The Lions Foundation greenhouse money came in. We didn't get that this year, but we are outpacing net assess valuation collections. So, that's great. Um, also we're about a million down, but last year we strategically used Redbud money to pay one VOAG Manhattan payment and one Wayside Manhattan payment. The second uh payment, I don't remember if it was the VOAG or the man
036or the uh Wayside payment. It come it came out in May. So, those will kind of clear clean it up a little bit. Again, my goal, our goal is to be around $4 million fund balance at the end of June 30th in the building fund or in the general fund, building fund will finish what it finishes. So, uh I just wanted to mention real quick on the consent agenda, uh we have the last remaining sanctioning application, booster uh booster club, Clearwater, uh third party gas, we have to enter into a a contract every year. JD Young contract, we took um copier bids out, we received those. a team reviewed and that's our recommendation. Uh and then temporary appropriations, that's to start our fiscal year so we can encumber next year's bills and get our fiscal
037year started. This is the first step. The estimated needs will replace it once we get it in, I'd say September, that kind of thing. So, if anybody has any questions, I'd love to answer them. If not, I will stop. Okay. Thank you, Preston. So, uh, our next board meeting is our regular meeting in May, which will be Monday the 19th at 5:30. Uh, moving on to the consent agenda. They are, uh, routine monthly items. Preston mentioned some of the unique ones, which was the sanctioning applications. Um, the the item J, which is the Clearwater Enterprises for the district third party. Um, I do want to mention item K is a statutory waiver deregulation application for Brun Academy. That's our alternative school. It's at the high school. They're on a 4-day week and have kids come
038in on Friday. Um they've the state department has previously we did not we've done this before. We've approved the deregulation. Um and then they said we didn't have to approve it and then so now they're saying again that we need to approve it here before we send to the state board. So that's therefore that's what we're doing. This is the same thing we've been doing now for several years. Um but that's what that is. Uh Preston mentioned about the items L and M. Um item O is just the annual approval of the -ate resolution which uh granular helps us with the federal funds for technology. Yes. And then the last one item P is just the annual approval of we use OSSBA for to handle our uh unemployment claims. That's just the annual agreement that
039we have um with them. And I'll be I or any of the team will be happy to answer any questions if you have any. I also point out in the um superintendent, excuse me, in the personnel report, we have Miss Goodwin is being recommended to be our next uh principal at Jane Phillips Elementary. We have both good ones. Big day for the good ones tonight. Glad to have you both here. I definitely saw in the personnel a lot of movement this time of year that's expected. Uh, do you know what our current status is on either we're looking from wrap of the year? Sorry, I didn't mean to catch off guard. I was just curious. Yeah. No, it's a pretty light turnover really across the district, a few retirements and we've we've adding um a
040few position. We've had to add a few special ed education positions kind of across the district because of the need as well. uh adding our fourth agriculture teacher so that we can offer that to seventh graders um as well. So just kind of responding to where our uh where the enrollment needs are. But in terms of um leaving, it's kind of spread out throughout the district. Really haven't had Yeah. a lot. All right. Any further discussion on the consent agenda? I move that we approve the consent agenda items A through P as submitted. Second, Miss Shanhart. I I I I I All right, moving on to action topics. Yes, I believe. You got the short straw. I'm sure Nate would be happy to do this as well, but he actually collected all the signatures, so
041he did his part. I'll do mine. Um, so we have uh four different agenda items, but the first of there's two different bond series we'll be discussing, and the first of each of those is for me to present the bids of those bonds. So, um just a little it's we spread out the set sale with the sale this year just because of the timing um of some different items we had in front of you all. So, it's been a little bit since we came here. So, as a reminder, the 2025A series of bonds is our tax exempt series. Um it was 4.4 million well $4,460,000 and that's part of the 23 election authorization. It's an 8-year term. Um, and we had three biders on that one today. Uh, the low bidder was Bo Financial Securities
042with a TIC true interest cost bid of 3.754489%. We also had Piper Sandler with a 3.8027% and Robert W. Baird with a 3.868351%. Um, I would recommend that you award to the low bid B Financial Securities. um rates lately in the market. If you guys have been listening to financial news, they've kind of been all over the place. Um so this is a little higher than what we saw last year, 20 basis points higher than when we did a taxexempt bond last year. It is a longer term. Last year's bond was a bit shorter term. Um but just the rates market is higher today than it was last year when we sold our bonds as well. So there's nothing I don't think specific to a district. It's more of a market. What we were seeing
043in the market, our rating stayed the same. Um we had a good ratings report. So um nothing that should have contributed. Like I said, from a district specific standpoint, they do, you know, I always feel queued up well when we talk about fund balance in the treasures report as a reminder that that fund balance is the most uh significant thing in the rating agency's mind in terms of when we have discussion with them. Um they don't love that the state of Oklahoma kind of drives the fund balance to be a lower percentage based on how we do financial funding for our districts, but um they understand that. that. So, the rating agencies are very familiar with how Oklahoma does funding. Um, and so there's some credit that they give us per se in the that
044rating. Um, but we were we're always reminded that if that fund balance were to drop, there could potentially be a downgrade in the rating. So, it's just nothing um specific that you all are doing to warrant that warning. It's just something I do like to pass along that the fund balance is very important important for our rating. But is there any questions about the bids presented or the 25A bonds? All right. The second agenda item is the resolution to approve the bid um the low bidder financial securities. The second is to approve the low bid. We need to have a motion to award financial securities at an interest cost. And that's the first one. That's a right. Yeah. Okay. All right. I move that we uh receive the bids for the purchase of 4,460,000 to
045BOK Financial for the combined uh purpose general obligation bond series 2025A as further submitted in the agenda. Second motion second. I I I I I remind me or help me understand what B is and how it relates to next agenda item is to adopt the resolution that actually authorizes the issuance of the bond. Okay. Award it and then you issue it. All right. I move that we I can do that one just as submitted, right? Yes. Yeah. I move that we approve action item action topic item B as submitted. Second. Motion is second. Miss Shamhar I I I I I All right. And now we move on to C and D which is the series B. So the 2025 C series is a taxable series series bond. It's uh $1,35,000 and it's a short-term maturity.
046So it matures in 2027. Um where the rates on the exempt bond were a little higher than we might have anticipated. The rates on the taxable were a little lower. So um when we talk about our mill levy, they're somewhat going to offset each other and we are still kind of on track for the projected mill levy that we target. So that's usually the the thing that you all are most concerned about me answering is how will this affect our mill levy and those offsetting rates were on target based on all the other variables in play. Um so we had two biders on the taxable series. We had BOK Financial Securities who was again the low bidder with a rate of 4.226789% and Robert W. bar um was 4.726901%. And so we do recommend that
047you would award to BOK Financial Securities at that low bid percentage amount or not. Sure. Okay. Good idea. All right. Any any questions? Okay. I move that we receive the bids for the purchase of1,35,000 combined general uh purpose general obligation bonds taxable series 2025B of the district and vote to award this those bonds to bo financial which is the lowest bidder at 4.26789% uh notice of sale instructions and bidder rejected all bids it's actually 4.22 2267. Okay. Correction 4.226789%. Thank you. Second. Thank you. Second. I guess I can. Yeah. Miss Shan I I I I I All right. And as before, now we need to consider um issuance of the bonds that we just awarded. Approve action item action topic item D as submitted. Second, M. Jamart. I I I I I All right. Thank
