001Sorry. Uh, good evening. Want to welcome you all to uh welcome you meeting board to order the gun independent school district board of trustees. Let the record show that there is a quorum present. I also let the record show this meeting is duly posted in accordance with Texas Open Meeting Act Government Code Chapter 51. I aliance 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. [Music] Next is public comments. We have any public comments? [Music] Uh, no. No. Thank you. record for a so monthly financial report. Mr. Mayor, good evening. So, we'll start out with the statement of position by fund and I'm going to fast track this so y'all can get on to your next

002meeting. So, um on the state position and a state statement of position by fund um for the general fund, five accounts that make that up. we have cons consisting of Lamar and textile accounts. The ending market value for May 31st 2025 was 3,939,86427. The two accounts for our interest in seeing for Lamar and Techstar ended with 4,717,82265. And then the five construction funds consisting of Lamar and textile accounts ended with $19,186,7969 for a total of all of Gunner IC accounts of 27,844,396.61. On the next page for inventory of investments for the month end of May 31st, 2025, um those are just the interest bearing accounts. Um so there were reported on the previous page with some added to it but just for the investment accounts ending total as of May 31st was $26,444,14682. The next

003page is the property tax collection analysis for the general fund year to date for our um tax revenue um towards the middle of the page. Total general fund taxes or revenues collected $7,357,847 which is more than we budgeted. And then for the debt service actual year-to-ate collections for the total taxes prior and uh current and other tax revenue 5,154,271 which was more than we budgeted. The next page on the budget summary as of May 31st, 2025, the year-to- date um actual revenues collected is 11,65 11,65,253, which we still have some state revenue to collect that's coming in. And then for our year-to- date actual total expenditures as of May 31st down towards the bottom of the page for our general fund 11,361,142 which is about 84% of what we budgeted and we have one one

004month left um in the fiscal year for the debt service fund. On the next page, our year-to- date revenues 5,96,461 and our expenditures $2,85,741. So, we won't actually have our second bond payment in this fiscal year. So, again, just like our general fund um is going to see a little bit of a bump. So, we're all debt service funded because it won't come out until August, which will be the next fiscal year. uh food service for 240. Our year-to- date actual revenues total $569,363 and our expenditures for year-to- date $515,364. Um then you have the bank statement um and the co-op. The next thing I wanted to bring your attention to on page 31 is the quarterly investment report. And those just show everything that we went over on the statement of position by fund,

005but they break it out to the quarterly May March 2025 through May 2025. Um, I won't read those balances unless y'all just want me to go over the exact same balances that we went over. That is all I have. Any questions? Questions? Thanks, Mr. Screw. Yep. Thank you. All right. The next thing with communications, uh, the bike construction updates on your notebook. You should have a hand out. She This is what I had gone over with Kayla a little bit this morning. We're about 83% completion wise. If you're looking at call summary, the the rain, the weather has pushed us back some obviously with the courtyard, but the concrete work is in progress on that. Tests and balance is in progress and the punch list items have have begun as well. Um, school furniture installations

006are in progress. So, we're just if the weather will cooperate, we get that courtyard finished. Hopefully, we'll get wrapped up here pretty quick. Pretty short update on that. Is there any questions with that? All right, moving on to upcoming meetings and dates. So, if you look in the board book, starting next week, June 23rd through 25th, first round of interviews, superintendent interviews, they'll be at 5:30 and 7:30 here at admin. July 7th through 9th will be your second round. July 23rd, board meeting. Um, that's a possible still up in the air possibly. trailer probably making that and that excuse me July 30th and putting all that together. So that's potentially more than likely going to change to July 30th. Um August 7th first day of school, August 18th will be our board meeting in August

007and then 15th October and November. So that's what we have right now. And obviously as school starts we we will continue to push out notifications with open house. Um the date I know we talked about August second potentially being grand opening of elementary. So when we get all those concrete we get those pushed out to you. Okay. Thank you. We have any webinar reports in case you need move on to item six. Item six is consent ag consent agenda. Uh this month we've got minutes for item A and B as previous month's bill. entertain a motion. Motion second. Motion second. All those in favor say I. Any. All right. Item seven. Um uh consider approval of the $5,000 donation for the girls basketball locker room, which is awesome. Um by policy, we have to accept

008this. Any questions, comments? generous. Very generous. So, this is just a a donation from someone. Do we know what they're going to do with the I think their intentions are like the softball. You know, they've got the decorative doors and the the interior and possibly a couch and lounge kind of like a players area. So, potentially putting in a couch, a TV, and something just for the kids. Nice. Prior to the games, you know, before practice, just to have a players area. That's great. [Music] Have a motion. Second. Second. Motion second. All those in favor say I. Item 7B uh consider approval authorization professional services presented by Teen Perkins. And I will say we do have representatives Perkins here tonight. Um, if y'all have any questions, now's the time to uncover questions. Um, don't do

009know we've got Platinum Ranch coming up. There's some development agreements are going on with that. um the general civil questions they can be able to help us with. So only question me clarification the funding of this would come out of otherwise they wouldn't be here today. Fair enough. Fair enough. So how does it how does it work? Are they going to we're just going to use them sort of at will and then he decides what services we're going to use and when we're going to use them and then do you all invoice us? How does that how does the relationship work? Chris, do you mind talk about that again? Christian Ton Perkins, my colleague Matt Atkins is here. if I don't know the answer and he doesn't know the answer, we're in trouble. So, uh,

010thanks for the opportunity. We appreciate, uh, chance to visit and to, uh, you know, help serve the district on your, you know, real estate needs, and engineering needs. I'm sorry, what was the question again? So, what how does the relationship work? I mean, I see you guys have a fee, a fee schedule in here. So, who's going to like, hey, we need this service? who's going to be in charge of that for governor and ask for those fees. Usually that will come through the substitute the superintendent may be direction from us to say hey we want to look at this and we may superintendent may tell them that who that person is Josh but um he would he would be directing them on hey I need help doing this or hey I need you to

011look at this development agreement or whatever that is or attend a city meeting because they're going to talk about whatever u oh platinum ranch running I've seen it all on Facebook that that bill of agreement is moving up again and they're willing to renegotiate that and so they're here to speak when I already have so yeah we we serve in a similar capacity for numerous districts Salina Proser Sherman Dennis so helping them on this end of the you know the project cycle looking at land coordinating with developers city entitlement text dots uh coordination so that's that's kind of where we serve you know kind of in this genesis area and on a kind of on a case by case or project project or assignment by assignment basis and in cross where I've probably looked at

012150 pieces of property in the last 15 years. So we kind of just identify our billing by individual tracks and then we just track that you know whatever that uh you know effort is and we just bill against that and we just maintain that communication with the district and leadership so that everybody's aware and comfortable with what that effort looks like. Yeah, that's the thing. I just want to make sure we're aware how that works. Absolutely. I don't want to wake up one day and we're like, "Oh, we're at $49,000. What do we got?" You know, I'm not saying that you guys would do that. I have a good reputation. Make sure we understand. Sometimes just happens. Everybody gets busy and you get 6 8 months, a year down the line and all of a

013sudden, but we try to good be good stewards with that, good communicators, and let you know ahead of time if we're getting close to that budget and if there needs to be a budget amendment. And then just work through that good communication with you so that everybody's comfortable with the agreement and the arrangement. Got it. I guess the superintendent would keep us up to date as what services we're using and roughly how much that's costing, right? And that's issues. So if anybody else in the office have questions about and their services, it'll be communicated. Yeah. All our invoicing would have assignment and then whatever those accumulative costs would be, we could provide any of that bookkeeping information that you needed. Perfect. Thank you. You bet. likely as we get into more development mode, our executive

014session will include it on more than likely for development issues. They're working through development agreement, superintendent will bring back and say, all right, here's what we're talking about. Do you like it? Do you not like it? And then we can agree or disagree and then vote on it. And then if we don't like it, they work this deal or hey, we're good with this deal. Let's get it done. Yeah. So even little things like some of the pering issues we had with the city in the elementary work his butt off to get that kind of push through but you know having some engineers help shepher that so we have a good relationship with city staff the the new staff uh so we got some rapport there so that's usually what I think we bring to

015the equation here is we we live in the infrastructure arena. So, we know the a lot of the public works directors, the city engineers, the tech stock folks, you know, drainage engineers. So, that just help lets us have that dialogue uh directly with them and talk talk engineer talk, which is really exciting. No, I think it's great to have somebody No comment. You know, it's good to have somebody in our corner that clearly knows way more than all of us put together probably, you know, game side that more than we are. But yeah, I think it's smart. So that's that's where we've I think where we've served other districts well and I named a few, but we we probably work for 20 25 districts in North Texas between region 10, region 11, and all the

016way through with construction. But we're kind of a full service firm, so we can do survey work. We have a tech stock group. We have a landscape group that's all in house. They're not subs. And so we have a lot of these services in house where we're not having to use ne having to go outside of that necessarily for a lot of that expertise. So I think uh we kind of developed a little little niche there. Mark questions. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Motion second. All those in favor say I. Any opposed passes. Uh item eight. I need to read the shield. Uh the board will now convene to executive session executive session pursuant to Texas government code section 551.072 land 551.074 1074 personnel uh 551 1076 and safety. No voting will

017take place in close session. Any action the board wishes to take as a result to discussions close session will take place after board reconvenes in the the open meeting and the time is 65. [Music] He will. They are. They are. They're our plate. Yes. He'll be so proud. 8:46 we are out of executive session. 8:46 we stand. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good morning.
