014that small group of individuals that we just recognized. And um we do thank you for your service and uh as Mr. Whittle has said very very good very well there that um you will be definitely missed but the ripples that you've made in people's lives will continue uh forever and so we thank you for that board. Anything to add to this? Thank you for your service. Um we will jump into the gym award. Dr. way. It is not very often that we get to recognize one of our students. In fact, I'm not sure we've recognized one of our students with the going the extra mile award, but this is Caleb Frell. Caleb is a senior in high school. He'll be graduating in just a mere four days. Uh and then he will be shipping off
015in August, August 11th, uh to the Army to serve our country. And uh and y'all, as much as I'd love to say that's why we're recognizing, that actually isn't why we're recognizing him. Uh we we thank you for your service. But more more importantly, uh last week, um Caleb uh was in a classroom with one of our teachers, Miss uh Herrera. And um Miss Herrera all of a sudden started choking on her lunch. And uh Caleb, she made the international sign of I'm choking and I need help. And Caleb without even hesitating uh was able to uh help her perform the Heimlick maneuver. Had to I think perform it a couple of times to get it dislodged, but ultimately in the opinion of our nurse, our our teacher, and our SRO, potentially saved her life.
016And so, uh, it gives me great, uh, um, I feel very confident with him going into our our armed forces that our hands that we're in good care because of young men like this. And so, uh, Caleb, on behalf of Marble Falls, we want to present you with just a certificate that you can hang on your, uh, refrigerator. But um but this is something that that we give to our staff to let them know how much we love and appreciate them. Thanks for going the extra mile. Thanks for saving her. Thanks for doing being there. [Applause] All right. Very good. Welld deserved. Congratulations and thank you for being there and jumping into action. All right. My item 7C is Marble Falls High School esports state qualifiers. Miss Feller. So, most of you all that know
017me know I like to talk, but I'm not going to say what I was going to say, and instead I'm going to use the words from our coach Cwell, who could not make it today because he is sick. Um, so he first of all sends his regrets that he cannot be here. But, um, he says, "My apologies for not being able to attend today. I would like to thank each and every player that has been a part of the Marble Falls esport team. Um, I would also like to thank the parents of these players. Marble Falls ISD, the high school Ace program, sorry, Coach Adam Ray, who is our former coach, um, for helping us get esports esports off the ground. We started esports with only one team consisting of four guys last year and
018that quickly elevated to over 35 active players within nine different teams. Those guys over one year brought home one state title, one national title, and three runner-up titles, one of those being national and one of those being state and 12 playoff appearances. I could not be more proud of this team and I wish my seniors well as they move forward in life and do amazing things after graduation. I have one last special shout out who couldn't be here today either. Um, this is a special kid to be too. Um, Jeremy Williams. Jeremy has captained six teams during this time with esports and I thank him for the many hours, practices, and games he put into the esport program. Um, thank you to everyone who has supported us. Um, and the tears are because neither one
019of us will be here next year. And so we're kind of leaving on a really high note, but hoping that someone will be able to kind of pick up this team and carry on the legacy that we've been able to create in just two short years um with esports and with the ACE program. So, um, and I have to credit thanks to the amazing esport team and the 34 kids that we recruited for esports. We were able to make our ACE numbers at the high school, which was huge. We started with one kid last year and have over 200 enrolled at just the high school now. So, very proud. Um, I only saw a couple of them. We have Oliver Lions. If you'll stand up, have him come. Freshman, so hopefully he'll keep us going.
020and Lun. [Applause] Thank you'all. Congratulations, y'all. And keep uh keep making us proud. We're looking forward to what you've got in store. Very good. All right. Item D is Marvel Falls High School track qualifiers. Uh state qualifiers. Um Coach Silva, Coach Gonzalez. Here we go. Okay, I was going to uh I was going to present Tyler since he's the the only boy and then Coach Gonzalez is going to present the girls. Um not sure if I want to use this or not. Um so good afternoon. Uh my name is Austin Silva and I'm the head boys uh track coach here at Marble Falls High School and I'm here to present Tyler Hamlin. And uh before I get started, I just can't help but remember standing in this exact spot last year basically telling all of
021you that Tyler would be back his senior year. Um and I didn't say that to be arrogant, you know. I didn't I didn't say that to put more pressure on Tyler. Uh, I said that because I believed in Tyler. Um, and and the belief I had in Tyler came from the qualities that he displayed over the course of his entire high school track career. Um, you know, where others made excuses, Tyler stayed committed. Where others got distracted, Tyler remained focused. And where others let up, Tyler always gave everything that he had. Um, and in my opinion, that's what made Tyler special. Uh, and ultimately that's why Tyler is a two-time state finalist in the 3200 meter run. Uh, as a senior set to set to graduate this year, I hope that Tyler can take the
022lessons that he's learned on the track as well as the qualities that he's displayed um into his next chapter of life. Uh, and then I just want to close with this. Tyler, we want to say that we're incredibly proud of you for not only everything that you accomplished this year, but for everything that you've accomplished over the course of your entire track and field career. Uh we want to thank you for everything that you did for our track program. Uh, and most importantly, Tyler, we want to say that it's because of you and the standard that you set for our younger guys and our returners that our track program will continue to have success in the future. Thank y'all. All right, if Maddie and Ky can come over. All right. So, good evening everyone. I
023am the girls head coach um at Marble Falls High School. So, I can't wing it like he did. So, I wrote it down. It is It is my honor and privilege to recognize three remarkable student athletes who represented Marble Falls High School at the US uh UIL State Truck and Field meet this year. These young people exemplify what it means to be a Mustang. driven, dedicated, and determined both in competition and in the classroom. Senior Maddie uh Copelan, not senior, sophomore, had a phenomenal season. Maddie is a hard worker, humble, and focused young lady who brings energy and joy to everything she does. She dominated throughout the season in both her sprint and field events. Maddie was a district champ district and area champion in the 100 200 long jump and triple jump, an incredible
024accomplishment. At the regional meet, she made the finals in both sprint events and was crowned regional champion in long jump and triple jump, earning her first trip to state meet. At the UIL state meet, Maddie delivered under pressure, earning a bronze medal with the third place finish in the long jump and placing fifth in triple jump, just shy of her personal best. What a way to cap off a sophomore season. What truly sets Maddie apart is her relentless work ethic, her competitive spirit, and her genuine love for the sport. I am honored to be part of her journey so far and I can't wait to see what she does next. Great job, Maddie. Proud of [Applause] you. Next, we have senior Kylie Roberts, a thrower whose growth and grit over four years has been nothing
025short of inspiring. As a freshman, Kylie advanced to area and discus. As a sophomore, she won her first district title and area titles in Discus and competed at regionals. Her junior year brought both her district titles in shoput and discus, advancing to area in both events. She moved on to the regionals again in discus and narrowly miss qualifying for regionals in the shoput by just one spot. This year, Kylie swept district titles in both shot and discus, added an area title and discus and placed fourth in shot put in area to qualify for regionals in both events. Her first time doing so in shotput. At regionals and discus this year, Kylie was out of finals with one throw left in prelims. She needed to throw over 104 feet to advance and earned three more attempts.
026With all the pressure on her shoulders, Kylie stepped into the ring with confidence and delivered her best throw of the competition, 114 ft 6 in. And it held for second place, securing her first ever trip to the state mean, continuing to the proud Roberts family legacy of lead throwers. It was a moment that captured her resilience, determination, and ability to rise when it mattered most. At stage, she competed with the very best in Texas, a dream come true. and well-earned reward for years of hard work. Kyla leaves Marble Falls as one of the most decorated throwers in school history and a record holder in shot and discus. Great job, Kylie. Proud of [Applause] you. And I know Coach Silva talked about Tyler, but as one of the distance coaches, I I got to experience a
027lot of his work ethic throughout the year. So, senior Tyler Hamlin had an incredible career he had. Tyler finishes his uh career at Marble Foss as a four-time cross country state qualifier, state medalist, and two-time state qualifier in track and field. He has been a leader and a competitor, an example for his teammates, always bringing out the best in those around him. His teammates, especially the distance crew, will miss him dearly, both for the way he led and the way he loved the grind. It's been a true blessing to be part of your journey during his his senior season. Great job, Tyler. Proud of [Applause] you. These three athletes have not only made history, they've inspired our program and set a new standard for excellence. They are backed by a strong support system at home
028with families who have been by their side every step of the way. And of course, none of this would be possible without the many coaches who have poured into their growth and success. As we celebrate these three athletes tonight, we also want to wish Kylie and Tyler all the best as they begin the next chapter of their lives. Tyler will be attending the University of Houston and Kylie will continue her journey at Texas State University. They leave behind a legacy that will continue to inspire future Mustangs. On behalf of Marble Falls track and field, thank you for letting us honor Maddie, Kylie, Tyler. We are so proud of them and excited for what lies ahead. [Applause] Okay, ready. while they make their way back. If you're family, Tyler, uh, Maddie, Kaylee, y'all stand up and

Tell me who you want to nominate and why. So, I am nominating Miss Kelly Figueroa. She is one of our cafeteria workers here um at the middle school, but she's also one of our most amazing ACE teachers. Uh, I am nominating her because she just goes above and beyond all the time and with a huge smile on her face and with the most following energy. Awesome. Tell me tell me about some of the things like that you get to see from her in Ace. So, not only is she a teacher, but she also helps pass out our snacks and she knows almost
034every single kid's face from the regular school day, but also in the A school day. So she sees them and she's like, "Hey, John Doe, how are you doing today?" And they go, "Oh, Miss Calie, how are you today?" And they all just love her so much. So when she gets in there, they all want to talk to her and they all want to tell her about their day and how excited they are. And when she gets to teach her um her enrichment class, I don't know if you guys know this, but she was actually a medic in the military and she's uh now teaching a field medic class for our ace kids.

Um I just I know a lot of them just want somebody to talk to and relate to them and I just try to talk to them like a person and not a child. Yeah. Just a regular person. Well, I will say that has not gone unnoticed. And um when you know when we think about educators that make such a strong impact on kids, you know, it's it's about the relationships that that kids aren't going to remember the lesson that they learned. They're not going to remember a particular assignment really, but they're going to remember

He shows all of us what student engagement is every day, no matter the age, no matter the circumstances. He's one of the most humble humans I know and I'm ever so honored that he agreed to come this evening for us to honor him with the spotlight and engagement. If we could have coach scarce come from falls come up here. [Applause] When you have someone this special, it's hard to put his impact in a few
039words. And once some people figured out that it was him, I started receiving all these emails. Um, I can't think of a better way to honor him than to read some of the words of his colleagues. And so, Miss Pond, she she wanted everybody to know Coach Scarce is the epitome of engagement. He works diligently with the students in his class to ensure their academic success. Beyond the classroom, he collaborates with the EPIC program to provide students with the tutoring support they need. He also teaches valuable life skills such as building and gardening. Miss Tennyson, who's known him for a while, says, "Coach Scarce has always shown loving and inspiring even before the district created the mission. He engages the students in gardening and other school activities. Miss Mada coach has a passion and dedication
040for supporting all students, especially our most challenging ones. His kindness creates a positive environment where falls and epic students thrive. His tireless work ethic and team player attitude are unmatched on our campus and we're very fortunate to have him as part of our team. Miss Harris, coach truly embodies what it means to love them where they are. He goes out of his way to make sure every student feels like he has their back. Whether it's the garden, in the halls, or in the classroom, he's always teaching, loving, and inspiring our students. Dennis Rose. Ronnie is one of the nicest individuals I've ever had the pleasure to work with. His wit, smile, and wisdom shine through everything he does. He does his best to ensure that every student he works with succeeds. I would personally like
041to add that coach Scarce is currently assisting a former Marble Falls High School student to finish credits to graduate and he's working with them. The gentleman is actually 78 years old and is is ill and so Ronnie helps him when he's able to do work. And so, um, that just goes to show even more. I mean it's it's more than just that student engagement for instruction for that lesson. Um Ronnie truly embodies our mission statement and so please help me in congratulating coach scarce as a spotlight on excellence engagement engagement. I'd like to say something about coach scarce. You know, I came in 82 and coach scarce came in 81. We've known him a long time and I'll say it here. And this the only time I'm saying it, okay? You're never going to find
042a greater kid, guy, man, okay, that loves kids, works with them, does everything he can do. And you have to really be around him to really understand how much he's put into this town in this athletic program. He's always been there. He's always done things for the kids, taken them home, fed them, took care of them. Anything you can do, he's done. and he's still doing it. He can only work two days because he's gotten old and kind of crippled, but he is really he he's probably a lot, you know, better than he looks. So, it's all gonna be okay. And I love him and I've loved him for 43 years. And we've been buddies. We've had a lot of lot of trips. And I'm not telling on you. I'm not going to tell you
043how you did. But there's not a finer person could been here at the school and done as much for kids every single year. and he's had some health problems and even during all of his his little health problems, he has been there for the children of Marble Falls ISD. If you want to know somebody to be really proud for, that's a man right there. I hope you remember him. He built that dead gum baseball field down there just about by himself. So, I just got a lot of memories and they're good. And I can't think of one bad one. And I'm just I'm honored I get to know him. I've known him for so long. Thank you. It's a good day. Coach, Coach Scar, you got any uh words of wisdom for us or anything
044you'd like to say? [Laughter] We appreciate you. All right, let's see. If y'all are just hanging out for um awards and stuff, this might be a good time to slip out. If you want to stick with us for the rest of the meeting, feel free. But um we uh take a little break here. Um I'll come I'm going to circle back to citizen comments while people slip out. We'll do information items. Uh general fund summary, expenditure report, special awareness dates. Uh those were mostly in your packet. Any questions on any of those? Huh? Oh, let's take a take an actual break. Okay, let's take an actual break for a second. Uh we'll stand adjourned for recess at 6:47. We'll have Let's uh reconvene into open session. It's uh 6:50 p.m. Let's finish out those information
045items. General fund summary expenditure report were all in the packet. Any questions on those? Dr. Gasaway, special awareness dates. We just have one the second Wednesday in May, public school pair professional day in recognition of educational pair professionals including teaching assistant instructional age educational trainers, library attendants, bilingual assistants, special education assistants, mentors and tutors and it's regularly observed and I know our principles recognized our pair professionals on that day. So, thank y'all very much. Very good. We need them to function and they are very good at what they do. All right. Uh, let's circle back to citizen comments. Miss Bushers, we got one citizen comment and uh, we just take these three minutes at a time and um, I'll start it and let you know if we get close to that three minutes. Go ahead.
046Okay. Um, first off, if you um don't uh if you're not told enough as a board member how much you are appreciated, and I'm very sorry I'm emotional tonight, but if you are not told enough that you are appreciative for the work that you do, and if you've never ran in an election, um I encourage people to get out and do so. And if you have, thank you. Thank you for putting yourself vulnerable to the community. Um, so with that being said, um, good evening Dr. Gasaway and board of trustees. Um, my name is Michelle Boschers and I'm proudly married to Carrie Boschers who holds place one on the Marble Falls Highest School Board. I would like to take a moment to say Gary Boschers. I love you so much and I'm so incredibly proud
047of you. The past few months have been so difficult for our family during this election process. I am beyond proud of you for the humility that you have shown through it all. You chose Marble Falls as a place to graduate, as a place to raise your family, and we've been here for more than 18 years. You maintain a positive attitude even when our friends were bullied by others in this community for supporting you. It was heartbreaking to watch others who had an agenda seek to be negative in our hometown. I hope whenever folks look back they realize that it's not necessary or worth it. It takes just as much effort to love somebody than it does to cause harm. You're I encourage people to understand that you have to have a heart for people no
048matter whose side you're on. Folks should be proud of our community in MFISD that more people want to get involved. The election process turned nasty at times and folks would tell you, Gary, don't get involved in politics if you can't take the trash and disrespect that comes with it. People tried to silence you. They called you on your phone and told you that they challenged your freedom of speech, but you stood firm and didn't let it break you. You were treated very unfairly at times and unfortunately even in front of our children. You never let their words define you. And you continue to love this district. The kids and I stayed strong because we know how deeply you care about this district and the people that you serve with. You love every part of it.
049The students, the teachers, the administrative staff, the workers, the bus drivers, custodians, kitchen staff, support staff, the coaches, and so many more. You ran the campaign just the way that you did in 2016. You didn't change who you are or your approach. You were present at the polls. You participated in Q&A with local judges and answered questions from the papers in the community. The only thing different this time was a request for a recount, you being the only candidate who showed up, us having to hire an election attorney, and taking a poll watching class that I had to do in two hours before our daughter's choir concert, and having to count thousands of ballots by hand for seven hours of time that you and I can never get back. Please know that you are a
050man of integrity, grit, love, confidence, respect, and curiosity. And that I believe is why the community came out. Not just to vote for a name, but to vote for you, my husband, the father of our children, a man of respect, Gary [Applause] Boschers. Okay. Uh let's see. We um have some business to get to, quite a bit of business to get to, but I also want to be respectful. We've got at least one um position that we need to try to get approved that's all the way at the end of the agenda. And so um Dr. Gway suggested maybe we would move this um executive session up to right now and see if we can get this out of the way. Um and so let's see. We will I'm trying to find it here. Sorry,
051stumbling a little bit. Um let's see. So, let's uh go into executive session under discussion of board reorganization, Texas government 5 code 551.074, discussion of professional personnel, including the hiring of Spicewood Elementary School principal, Texas government code 551.074. Um, let's go into executive session at 6:56 p.m. Okay, we are back in open session at 7:28 p.m. Uh, let's see. We've got discussion and possible approval. This is 14A. Uh from action of rising from executive session, we're going to do A2 possible approval of professional personnel including Spicewood Elementary Principal. Dr. Gast recommendation from the district to approve personnel uh list as presented in close session. Make by Miss Tubing, second by Mr. Bers. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. With that, Mr. Nommen and board, I would like to introduce
052you and have her come to the podium. The new principal at Spicewood Elementary School, Miss Tiffany Brantley. [Applause] Miss Brentley went through a a process, but I will tell you she was uh for um that staff, they are very very excited about her her leadership and the great things she's done already and the hopes built on the great things that are going to happen under her leadership. So with that, victory speeches. Honestly, it's it's the only thing I want to say is um this has been a process, but I it it is amazing that I have in front of me. I see this word love all the time. I said this to the staff today when it was announced is this process has truly truly truly shown me love. the support I've been getting just
053uh from parents and um my family, colleagues, uh friends. Um I've got family listening right now from different places and then my family in the back who have been amazing these past couple of weeks. Um and so I'm so excited. I thank you so much for the opportunity um that you've entrusted me with and I cannot wait to get started. So, thank you. Miss Brantley, introduce us to your family before you leave. I have my amazing husband, John Brantley. I have my um interviewer, coach, Charles Brantley, and then my headshot coordinator who took my head shot, Hudson Brantley. It was a family event. Congratulations. Welld deserved. We're looking forward to uh getting it going as well. Board comments. Go ahead. Um, should we take a five? Y'all want to take Let's take a five minute
054recess and just congratulate Miss Brley and then we'll get back uh into the rest of this in just a moment. We're 7:31. 5 p.m. We'll get back into open session here. Let's get back on track here. Let's uh go to 10A. Presentation, discussion items, possible action, delinquent tax collection report. Mr. Reyes. Good evening. Evening members of the board. Uh it's always good to see you all, Mr. President, Mr. Superintendent, um all of you. Uh this is just going to take a couple of minutes. Uh it is our annual report on uh collections uh revenues. Um so if at any point you have any questions, please please don't hesitate. Um you have a provided a booklet for each of you and it contains quite a bit of information. I'm going to summarize it. I'm only going
055to talk about three or four different figures that I think give us a good idea of where the collections program is at. Uh so uh without further ado, we can get into it. Uh and just as a reminder, uh the tax calendar tax bills normally go out in October, sometimes November. Uh folks have until the end of January to pay without penalties and interest. On February 1st, whatever is unpaid begins to acrue penalties and interest. Uh then on July 1st, whatever remains unpaid is then turned over to my law firm for collections. So about eight or nine months after bills go out, we begin to collect the delinquent taxes. So just keep that keep that in uh in mind. If you'll go with me to page three on your reports, and it's the first slide
056on me. Okay, there it is. Yeah, very good. uh total revenue from tax collections. Uh this is an annual measurement of what we do uh as a percentage of your tax levy. We take uh to uh current year taxes plus all delinquent tax year collections plus penalties and interest and we measure that against your total against your tax levy of each year. Okay. So for 2023 for example fiscal year ending 63024 which is at the very top there. The adjusted tax levy was 61,474,000 roughly. Total current plus delinquent collections was 61 million 134,000. Penalty and interest collected on delinquent taxes was 595,000. So, your total revenue from tax collections was 61,730,421 for a percentage of 100.42%. Um, so of that 61,474 adjusted tax levy, 59 million, and it's not up there, but 59,777,000 was paid
057prior to July 1st. And what wasn't paid about under $2 million was then turned over to us. So about $2 million of that total revenue from tax collection 61,730,000 is your delinquent tax collections. Okay, just rough number there. Every year in Marble Falls ISD, we collect over 100%. Um, you know, we have a goal of collecting at least 98%. the state requires 95% or above. Uh and after a certain period of time, if that percentage is not met, it could affect state funding, meaning Marble Falls ISD could send more to the state. U so we don't want that to happen, right? Um so it's not a problem though. We are always u over 100% here. So you can see for 22 100.3 4 2021 100.87 and 2020 101.96. Any questions about this? If you'll go
058to page uh page four in your reports. Um this is what we call cumulative tax collections. U not sure how to get it up on the cumulative tax collections. You know, we went over tax levy, uh, what we collected over the year in all tax revenues versus tax levy. This is just the individual tax levy of each year collected over time. Um tax year 2023 again 61,474,000 was the uh was the tax levy for the year. What we've collected already um is 60,978,000. So all that remains due to be paid is 495,000. Um normally we will collect almost 100% on this uh in just a couple years. So as you can see there uh the cumulative collections are 99.19 99.48 99.72 99.75 with uh as as time goes by we will collect pretty much 100%.
059Is there any questions about this? Uh the next one um just couple more things to discuss and and and that'll conclude our report. The next one is delinquent tax collections. Okay, this is what is turned over on July 1st to my law firm for collections. Uh I mentioned that the 2023 tax levy was 1.695 million uh dollars. That will was turned over to MVBA for collections on July 1st of 2024. In 10 months of collection, because this report is as of April 30th, 2025, we've collected 1.2 million of the 1.695 million. So all that remains is $495,000. That is uh that is being collected at a very rapid pace. Um I I shoot for at least 50 to 60% collected in the first 12 months. Uh and I think that's a healthy figure, but here
060of course uh at Marble Falls ISD, we're well above that. So and um the same for 2022 2120 as more time um as more time takes place uh as more collection activities take place I should say we will collect uh pretty close to 100%. Are there any questions about this? One last uh figure to discuss. If um if you'll go with me to on your booklets, it is page nine. This is what is outstanding for all tax years that are currently unpaid. Okay. At Marble Falls ISD, $1.585 million. Now, some of these go back as far as 20 years that are not paid. Why? Because of uh because of what we call tax deferrals. Uh and I'll discuss that in a minute. Um but while that 1.585 figure might seem like a lot, keep in
061mind that it is the only amount that has not been been collected for the last 20 years worth of tax levy. uh you know for 2023 alone it was $61 million right 60 62 almost $62 million multiply that by your last 20-year tax levies and this is all that remains unpaid which is almost nothing uh relatively speaking right um now of course we're working to collect all of that as well um one one of the things that we have here is that uh tax deferrals are um the amount of tax deferral in Marble Falls ISD is pretty high. Uh it makes up about 36% of everything that is outstanding and uncollected. So of that 1.585 million, basically the first 575,000 we cannot collect uh because it isn't a tax deferral. A tax deferral is when
062an individual that is over 65 or meets certain disability requirements uh applies for the postponement of taxes on his or her residents homestead. Um and as long as they live in that home, they can postpone uh their taxes until sometime in the future when they no longer live in that home for whatever reason. So that's that amount that is unpaid is 575,000. There's nothing we can do about that right now. At some point when the deferral is removed, then we begin collections on that. So, um that all that leaves us with uh everything else. Um we already have $444,000 in back taxes in a delinquent tax lawsuit where we're attempting to recover in court because we're required to do so through a through the judicial process. Uh and the rest are just uh various levels
063of research and progress. Some of them could be informal payouts. Uh some of the taxes are in formal payouts. Uh you can see 46,000 is in pre-litigation payouts. Um but we also have a number of the research in progress uh being in informal payment plans. So we keep an eye on that as well. Um any questions about this? It's a pretty pretty lean here. Um and of course um our our as a reminder our fee for for the law firm is not paid out of any kind of school funds. It is a uh 20% fee that is added on July 1st to whatever remains unpaid and as that gets collected that is how uh my firm is compensated. Uh the we don't only provide also uh delinquent tax collections. We provide an array of services
064that's included in the package um which includes uh taxable value studies uh taxable value audits, property value studies, uh short uh short-term reporting. All of those uh are ways that we get money back from the state that we've sent uh through through recapture. So, uh, we've collected a pretty pretty good quite a bit of of of funds um for a number of reasons. I won't I won't um I won't go into that, but we keep an eye on it in every every way that we can. We will uh apply for uh uh for the the school district to receive additional funds from the state. So, any other questions? Hope that wasn't too boring. So, glad you're doing your job. Yeah. Questions, comments, board, anybody see. Do we need to I guess probably approve this report?
065Do we need to approve this report? I don't think it's necessary. Very good. Just information. All right. Thank you for your time and appreciate your your work. Thank you. All right. Item 10B is 2025 2026. Budget discussion, Mr. Ore. Got all those taxes to work with. Yeah. Well, I wanted tonight to go over what all we knew about next year's budget, so it won't take very long. So, um, I wanted to start with last year's budget. You know, we had adopted a million79,000 deficit budget with the intention of Bader election that the election did or the vote did fail. So, we removed in February, we removed 2.1 million of revenue and we removed $950,000 of salary increases that were was dependent on that Vader. So, now we're looking at a deficit budget amended at 2.2
066million. uh we went through and cut back on personnel uh with the goal of meeting 2.4 million and we we've just about got that um depending on what we hire future vacancies at. So we're we're on track with that. Um and so that kind of sets us up. We wanted to get that deficit out so that when the legislature passes something then we're we're at an even keel. And so I feel like that's where we are right now. If you go right now, Austin is talking about um House Bill Two. The House passed that. The Senate has substituted their bill in there with that or against that. And so if you look at statewide the bill they're looking at appropriating somewhere between eight and n billion dollars both the house and the senate. Um on
067the house side they're increasing the basic aotment by $395. And that would require us to put two or require this uh school district to put in 2.4 billion in teacher salary increases and 0.8 8 billion in other salary increases for personnel. The uh on the Senate side, they are talking about a $4.2 billion salary increase for teachers and uh no salary increase for anyone else. And so, and then they're going to add on top of that $55 in the basic aotment, adjusted basic aotment. So there's there's very little, in fact, the the there's very little in there for anything but the teacher salary increases. In rural schools, uh I'm sure what you've heard is that uh if you've got three or four years experience, it's a $5,000 increase and it goes on into the future.
068But if at year five and above, it's $10,000 per student for every teacher that we have. And so, and if you have any questions, please feel free to stop me. Um, if you look at it from Marble Falls ISD, and these are kind of my estimates. We have some templates that we can work with. Uh, Mo Casey is a is a firm that that we're a member of their organization and uh they're giving us some information. Uh, but it looks like the House version would give us about two and a half million in additional revenue. There's a whole lot to the bill. There's a lot of specifics. Uh some of it safety money, some, you know, there just different areas, prek, early childhood, but basically we would end up with about $2.5 million per year.
069Uh the what I showed you on the uh statewide was uh that was two years if you try to do the math. So anyway, teacher salaries, we would we would be required to increase our teacher salaries by $750,000. That's somewhere around 5% pay increase. Uh and then we would be required to take 250,000 in other areas. U I don't think that would be enough. We would want to look at that a little harder uh to and maybe maybe put more salaries in there. But the discretionary amount that we would have it would be one and a half million. This is very workable. There are, like I said, a lot of details in there that that are not going to be pleasant, but um that's not a a bad bill there in my opinion. On the
070Senate side, we don't know how much the revenue is. Mo Casey's been working on uh estimating that for all the school districts. Uh they told us they'd have it out today and today's not over. So, we'll see. But teacher salary increases, if if we gave out what they say for every employee that we have on the teacher salary scale, uh it would be 2.6 million, which I don't see that there's enough money in their appropriation to do that statewide. Uh the only thing I can think of is there may be a different interpretation of what is an instructional classroom teacher but that but there's no other money for salary. So we don't know what our discretionary revenue is. So I have one other slide. There we go. So if we if you look at the
071salary schedule the bottom line the purple one is our current uh 2425 salary schedule. the House version. I just took the 750,000 and spread it out evenly. And you can see what kind of salary schedule we had. Um, if that passes, we'll we'll tweak that and and probably, you know, try to bend the curve a little bit and get more into that fiveyear range. But if you look at at the Senate version, it just jumps it up tremendously. Uh, and it's for every teacher from five years on. And so you can see that doesn't give us any flexibility at all to try to to to plan out, you know, the the future budgets that we have. So, and with that, I I'm you know, we're going to find out as soon as we can. Uh
072when is the send? Is that June 2nd? So, I'm looking forward to June 2nd getting an answer. Uh but anyway, we're we're uh we're going to be working on our campus budgets and things of that nature. Uh we we have set a priority of or emphasis on uh salaries, medical benefits, and campus budgets. And so we're going to be looking at those uh try to get that ready so we can have something for you at our next meeting. Any questions? Questions? comments. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you. More to come. Uh federal funds intent to apply. Mr. Le, good evening. I'm here to provide you an overview of the federal and state grant funding for the district. uh administration is required to annually provide you an update and then have your approval to apply
073for the federal funds for the 2526 school year. First thing I just wanted to review again is entitlement aotment versus compet competitive grant. I'm really reviewing entitlements with you. That is what the state gives us. Competitive grants. We do always watch out for those. See what we can apply for. Remember, a lot of times there's some give and take. How much do we have to give to be able to get the grant? Sometimes it's worth the squeeze, sometimes not. Uh these are our planning amounts uh for 2526. Um if you see the big question marks right there. Uh they have not released our planning amounts yet. Uh Mr. Orur needs to submit our application uh in June so that uh our budget year for July 1 comes open. Um Mr. or Dr. Garcia and I
074attended a conference approximately one month ago in which we learned about the uncertainty of federal funds. All of the lead grant and compliance staff from TEA were at the conference and spoke. Uh last week on Tuesday, May 13th, we received notice that TEA was adjusting its process to publish planning amounts since one piece from the federal government would not be released till even July 1st. And so Corey Green actually asked, would you do y'all want us to release anything? And we were like, yes, release something, all the finance people, everyone. And so he said that he would work on he's the associate commissioner uh under this. He said that he would work on releasing a conservative planning amount for districts. So last Tuesday they said that they would uh release planning amounts on Wednesday. Um
075then on Wednesday they released a communication saying that uh they released the planning amounts for the special education consolidated and for the Perkins but that the ESSA, the ESSA, every student succeeds act would not be released until May 19th. Then one day later on Thursday, they released a communication saying that it would be May 21st. And so I just want to point out that the Texas Education Agency is struggling and coming up with amounts and they said that they would release amounts based on the latest that the US Department of Education would have. Uh they explained a lot of things to us that Mr. Or might jump in in a second in regards to uh what the uh what Congress can mess with or not mess with. And so, uh, really when we look at
076our title funds, uh, title one, title three, uh, are the main two that are the most secure. Title two could possibly mess with. It comes up each time. Uh, this just it shows. So, the reason why I did put these on here is because last year when I did this with you all, it said 2425 planning. And so, those are our final amounts then that ended up coming in for our grants. If you look here, then we do have our planning amount for Perkins. and we have our planning amount under special education. Uh many of these amounts, as you can tell, have gone down. Once they finalize, a lot of times it ends up not being as much down as possible. Last year, when I showed you this, uh we were estimating based on planning
077amounts having $229,000 less than 2324. In the end, it ended up being $119,000 less. So 100,000 um I guess not as bad as what we thought, but it was still bad. We still received $119,000 left. Uh right now for IDEA and for Perkins, that shows how much less that we uh the planning amount is um compared to the final amount from last year. Uh these are other grants that we've closed. Just so you can see grants that we've closed and that we've worked on. The ones in pink are grants that we still have. That's not the amount left. That's the amount that was awarded. Um, Mr. Orur tracks our tracks our grants on here. And so all of these pinks are grants uh or entitlements. Some of them were competitive like the 21st century learning
078one. That's competitive. Not very many districts got that. Dr. Fans did an excellent job as a grant writer for us. Safety and facilities grants. Those are things in which Mr. Orur and Mr. Whittle had to fill out for us to receive those that money. And then we received a lasso cycle three. And then teacher incentive aotments really a program. Um just a couple things to keep in mind. Right now TEA is being conservative in what they release us. So it could look a lot lower than previously. Um but they are trying to gauge information that they received from the US Department of Education. We will receive most likely you know close to what we've received for title one previously. It's a significant amount for us. I'll let Mr. Orhop in if he thinks there's anything
079additional. And mainly what what I got from the from what they were saying was that they were just going to release normally they release what 95 96% of the money and then in in January all the schools that didn't take the money they they reallocate and they just said that they were going to increase or decrease the percentage that they let out. So it might come in at 92% something like that. So you'll see a drop in there. The one thing that that they said they didn't have was the stat the statistics that they needed from Washington in order to tell the schools how much they had. So they're lowering their percentage until they get that percentage to where they can bring it up to where the true allocation is. Excuse me, one question. The
080ACE program, is that under one of these grants or is that a separate Yes, sir. That's under the 21st century learning grant. Is that like a fiveyear cycle? Yeah, that's a that's a fiveyear cycle and we're in our second year. Okay. So, we still have three more years of that. Yeah. That's been useful to our district. So, this is first read in June is when we would seek approval because Mr. Or needs to submit our application before the end of June. He probably has a target date in which he wishes to submit and we just need your approval um before uh for him to submit our application for federal funds and I can do it as soon as they give me the numbers. We don't have the numbers. Questions, comments about this? Is there anything
081that's going to change between now and then? Should we like is there would it hurt anything to approve it tonight or you need to I want to try to if if approved tonight we would just once we have those numbers we would send them in a Friday note to the board to just verify the numbers send you the PowerPoint with updated information. Anybody want to make a motion on this tonight? I'll move that we approve the the administration to move forward in applying for federal and state grant funds for the 2526 school year. Motion by Mr. Verell second by Mr. Bers. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Very good. Optional flexible school day program 2025 2026 application. Miss Lley, go ahead. Each year the administration requests that you approve
082the MFISD to submit the optional flexible school day application. It's required that I do go over a couple items with you and that's what I'm going to go over really quick with you here. Program requirements. The goal is to allow us to provide a flexible hours and days of attendance for students who meet one of the requirements of the code. Uh the goal is to improve graduation rates to keep kids from dropping out of school. Recover kids. These are the different uh requirements in which a student must meet one of these to be part of the program. Uh students are still required to take the state assessment on the timeline and on the days that we set. Uh students are allowed to participate in UIL as long as they meet UIL eligibility rules. Uh for
083attendance, this really is saying, you know, as a district, you're not allowed to count a kid more than once. And so there's a maximum number of minutes that you can count a kid for optional flexible and it's all outlined right there where you can't exceed 43,200 minutes. We are required to receive board approval to turn in our application. The application actually requires Mr. Nommen to sign several places as well as Dr. Gaway. And this is just to remind you that if we were to mess with things or not be honest and handle the program appropriately that the commissioner could revoke the program from us and if he was to revoke the program it may not be appealed. Um this year just for information our final application was not approved by TEA. We went back and
084forth and back and forth. Mr. Fields had all of his students attending all day and we had hit later into the fall and just kind of dropped the communication with TEA and Mr. Fields ended up not having a student in that situation nor did the high school but we kind of lucked out due to that. I've talked to the Texas Education Agency staff and anticipate our application will be approved for 2526 without a lot of going back and forth. Um the uh because we can't guarantee if we won't have a student at Falls or at Marble Falls High School who might need the help. Uh this is first read. Um and so uh next steps are board of trustees approval, then submit to TEA and approval from TEA. Um nothing will change between now and
085the June meeting. Uh if you choose to approve this evening, TEA receives our application sooner. I did date it this evening in case if y'all made that decision. If you choose to approve in June, I'll just redate the application for in June. Uh that way, whatever you all wish to do, you're able to do. So, very good. Are there any questions, comments, motions? Motion by Mr. Bushers. Second of Mr. Pac. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Contract renewals for instructional materials. Dr. Fields. Hello. Um I am bringing to you a proposal for some purchases that we need to make. Um, TEA has changed the timeline for some of our instructional materials renewals, which caused us to have some materials that would have a few gap years before the next
086time those materials are up for adoption or approval cycle. And so those resources are listed here, social studies, um, languages other than English, which for us would be Spanish, and then some of our CTE courses. So we had allocated the remainder of our bienium. We were in year two of the bienium for our instructional materials a lotment. We had allocated about $174,000 for this purchase. Um, we can take care of what we need to with these materials withund about $100,000 and that would give us the money left over to purchase the uh NWA map resources that Miss Lelet brought to you at the last meeting. So, we we came in under what we were what we were hoping for with that. That will include training for our teachers to use these resources. And I would
087like to point out that these are the same resources that we currently have. So we're sticking with resources we have. We've already made investments in the print resources. This will just keep our online and our training going for the next few years. Um let's make sure I don't have anything else I wanted to say about that. I don't think so. I think that was all I needed to needed to say. Um this is a first read, but I will bring it back in June for approval. questions, comments? Anybody want to get this one out of the way? I'll make a motion to approve purchasing the social studies, LOT, and CTE materials listed above as recommended not to exceed $100,000. Motion by Mr. Pac. Second. Second by Miss Tubig. Any discussion? All in favor say I.
088I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you so much. Thank you. potential purchase of band instruments. Miss Lley. Yes, sir. The Marble Falls ISD brand band program is growing and is in need of additional instruments. You received two lists of instruments. The first list includes large brass items like tubas, sousafones, and euphoniums as well as a couple oos and bassoons. All of these instruments that all of these instruments are standard for schools, even colleges to provide. Right now, some of these are to go to the middle school and some to the high school. For instance, currently a bassoon player at the middle school is using a $13,000 bassoon that belongs to the high school. We need that bassoon to go back to the high school for a player. And we need to purchase middle school
089appropriate bassoons for the middle school that are cheaper than $13,000. And then tubas, euphoniums, and sussophones. Those are all uh sousones are high school only for the marching band, but tubas and euphoniums, some of those are for the middle school and some of those are for the high school. If you notice a couple of the tubas say three4s, that's because they're three4s the size and those are for middle school students. The second list is also due to growth and for six flutes. Even though more and more parents rent or buy instruments in Marble Falls ISD than before, we still have a number of families that do rely on us to provide. And so six flutes, that is the estimate uh that would be needed next year due to growth. Um we are recommending approval on
090first read due to current economic conditions that creates some instability with ordering and guaranteeing of pricing that Mr. Orur is going to explain to you. Thank you. Uh and we started looking at these and and looking at first read and second read and we realized that with the uncertainty with tariffs that these instruments some of them are from from overseas and we don't other countries and so we don't know they can't keep the quote to go past 30 days and so we thought we felt that the only direction that the price would go is up and so we decided to get the quote and are asking for it for you to approve it on first read. Good questions, comments. Yep. I just as we um as we hit F, GG, H, and I I do
091want to make sure and and I mentioned this uh even though I only sent it out this morning, unfortunately, but I mentioned it in my email u that we're finishing the 2018 bond. These are out of those funds. uh what little we have left that FGH and I will I will see a portion of that but that the these are all related to that. So when you see that it says out of bond funds it's talking about uh draining the the remainder of that to address the needs that are being presented tonight. Does that get them all the way cleared out? It does by the by I we will be done with that. All right. Questions, comments on this motions? Anybody? Motion by Mr. Proers. Second. Second by Miss McCary. Any discussion? All in favor
092say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Potential purchase of transportation vehicle twiddle vehicles. All right. Good evening. Um transportation department is seeking approval of uh three district vehicles um from several of the all of these were totaled last year's hell storm. Um if you'll recall in the fall you the board approved Toyota Sienna hybrid minivans and those have been an absolute hit. uh all of us who have had the opportunity to drive those um really enjoy them. Uh they they been a tremendous um purchase for us. So, we're asking that we'd like two more 2025 Toyota Sienna hybrid minivans. Uh those are eight passenger. Um one of those vehicles would be dedicated to our special services for our um transition house students. They commute to and from school job site back to the transition house
093uh daily and so uh this would be an upgrade for them. The other one would just go into the general um operation daily operational fleet uh for the white vehicles and those are combined for for the two of those are 80,594 so 40,100 a piece. Um the third vehicle uh transportation would like to purchase a 14 passenger um bus. This is similar to the people mover um bus that we have, but instead of it being white, uh we'd like for this one to be yellow so that we could also use it. It would give us flexibility in routes um to and from school. Plus, you do not have to have a CDL license to drive a 14 passenger bus. So that provides more flexible options for for driver. So 13 passengers plus the driver uh
09414 total and that is in stock. All three of these vehicles are in stock. The the Collins school bus 14 passenger is in Waco at um at Rush and then the the Toyota Siennas are in Silsby. Uh but they're all in stock and Gina said that we could have them if approved tonight by the end of the month. um which would be a big help to our transportation department. And so with that um entertaining any questions, questions, comments, motions, I make a motion to approve the purchase of two Toyota Sienna minivans and one Colin school bus total amount of $194,42.75. Motion by Mr. Pac, second by Miss Tubic. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Continue on with potential purchase of softball field upgrades. All right. Um, Coach Timberman and
095Coach Lzoya have met. Mackie Price has been in meetings with them and have walked the softball field numerous times um and and have identified needs, areas that we need to address uh to get our softball field improvements started. And so u with the remaining 2018 bond funds, u we would like to propose some of the initial work. Uh one would be to install a new netting system. um replace the chain leak fence that's at in the back back stop area and install a 30-foot tall netting system that would that would increase um the you know decrease the number of foul balls that are going into the bleachers because it would be taller but also the overall viewing experience from the fans uh to get that updated. Um also looking at adding a bullpin area to
096our visitor side where their pitchers can warm up and get ready during the games. We have a bullpin that's at the home side, but that needs to be uh kind of reworked and regraded. Um put some new um you know foundation base for uh decomposed granite in the bullpin areas. Um also installing new helmet racks, painting the back stop wall, handrails, uh press box needs some set touchup there, and then some new paint. um helmet racks, both the visitor and home dugouts, and then painting the scoreboard supports. Also included in this amount would be uh new back stop padding. And so with all of those items, looking at um a total of $136,658 and we feel like this would get us a good start. um if approved, they would be able to start June 2nd
097with work at the softball field and then later we would be able to look at um several other items that we that we address some drainage um on the field, you know, that can be addressed when they put in the new uh turf and then also some grading and and drainage over to the clubhouse area. And um we'll also need to look at fencing after after the turf gets put in. Um and we'll have further discussions with baseball and softball. We'll we'll we'll have u some upgrades to fencing at that point potent potentially. So um these six items would would give us a good start at the softball field and we are asking that the board u consider approval of American constructors uh to oversee that project and make improvements to the softball field in
098the amount $136,658. with that comments. Job job order contract. Yeah. Mackey, can you help me with that, please? Contract is a lot like tips or by board. It's done through an RFQ. Other questions, comments, motions? I I do have one quick question. How close is the softball field to the baseball field? The current baseball field. How close in proximity? Aren't they next door? They are next door. There's a concession stand in between. So there's no no I'm just imagining like construction going on where that where the old baseball field is. There's not going to be any damage to the softball field like we shouldn't invest. I'm just saying make sure if we're going to invest money there that it's going to be fine. There's not going to be construction vehicles parked on it or anything
099weird like that, right? Okay. Yeah. Okay. It doesn't seem like we've given softball in 11 years. So Okay. Thanks. It's been a while. I I will say I think this I I don't disagree with you and I I think this is a good first step that there's funds not only for the turf uh allocated for softball. There's 300,000 as far as their uh facilities that's addressed in Prop A of the bond. And then like Stan said, the final components that are really not spelled out in the in the bond or what we're doing tonight is some regrading that will will be addressed um when we do the turf and some fencing that will be done. And so I think it will by the end of the works that's done, I think it will u be
100in a much much different place. Anything else? Motions. You want to take this tonight? I'll make a motion that we approve American Constructors to make the improvements to the Mo Falls High School softball field in the amount of $136,658. Motion by Mr. Verell. Second. Second by Miss McCary. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Marble Falls High School roof replacements band hall weight room training room Max Copeland gym Mr. Whittle. So this this project will be um funded several different ways. The remaining funds from 2018 that will close out though the 2018 bond funds. Um and then we have funding from for our insurance already set aside for that. And so um both of those will be used on this project. So, this is really the first four roof replacements
101other than the out buildings. Um, you'll recall we we board approved that work's already been done on the A building, um, softball dugouts, the press box for the stadium, um, the the, um, fieldhouse and concession stand areas. All of those have been done. And so, this would be the the current band hall, the weight room, training room, and then the Max Copelan gymnasium. those four roofs. And this would be removing um and replacing with standing seam metal roof that is um it'll be red, same color that it was uh is. And it includes a 20-year uh warranty, also a 2-year workmanship warranty, and this includes removal and um and adding the new roofs. And so, um, this comes out to a total of $787,252.50. And administration is requesting approval of LBK roofing. That that's the
102roofers that did the outuildings um as well to replace the roofs at Marful High School band hall, weight room, training room, and the Max Copeland gym. The uh timeline on that would be if if approval uh would take roughly three weeks for materials to arrive and then likely hopefully get started on June 9th and it would take about two to three weeks to finish all four. This is a big project for them and u you know usually it's about 30 days but he said this would have a a large crew working on all four of those roofs could be finished in in three weeks. questions, comments want to make a motion on this one. One by Mr. Bers. Second. Second by Mr. Pac. Any discussion? I had had one question. Um, with all the summer
103weightlifting and various programs that go on during the summer, does this impact the ability for those to happen? I know you got to do at sometime. So, okay. So, there'll still be places where they can adjust and still get their things out. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Very good. Budget amendment for the high school roof replacements. Mr. Roar. Okay. Uh you have in your package the proposed budget amendment. Uh what I' I've done is I've included the February budget amendment so that you can see the progression of the budget. Uh the last three columns are what we're going to talk about right now. The I've done I've broken it up into two different uh amendments. The uh first one is to appropriate funds out of
104the uh proceeds from the insurance of 650,000. That's an estimate of what the 2019 bond uh funds won't pay for. But if you look down below other resources, that is all of the resources that we've that the b the insurance proceeds that we have received this year. We did receive 960,000 uh in 2425. So we're increasing our estimated revenue uh by 7,815,524. This money will go into reserves what is unspent. And so that's the first part. The second part I'm asking you to uh reserve part of that fund balance or assign it actually uh to show that that's how much money we have left of the insurance proceeds that are unspent and you can at any time unassign it. It just will make it more understandable in our audit report that that's where these funds
105are from and we have this this future liability or expectation of uh spending those funds. The and the amount that of the assignment is the 960,000 we received last year. the 7,574,000 that we have received so far minus the 650 that I'm asking you to appropriate tonight. If we do receive some more funds before the end of June, then I'll probably come to you with the and ask you to reserve even more or that amount. So, any questions on that? Do you know if we maybe that's the question you can't answer, but do we expect to receive any more insurance funds in the coming year or years? Yeah, we should receive some u in the next few weeks. I'm not sure exactly when. Stan's working with uh our insurance to there's a conversation ongoing where
106it's over one more at least the anticipation of one more payment of over a million dollars that we're anticipating uh with our insurance they stand in our insurance have had some very fruitful conversations that have gone well. Do we know if that amount will be enough to cover what we expect our roof repairs to be or are we going to have to dip into other funds for that? I I think that with the roots we have that are end of life that would be covered by the uh 2025 bond combined with what we've received in insurance that we're going to be in a very good place that I don't I don't anticipate we're going to have to come back and address any roofs that aren't covered through either end of life that we would have
107addressed uh through the bond or uh the insurance funds. Thank you. That's the water tower. The selling to the city, the water tower property. Yeah. Sorry. Okay. Other questions? Anybody want to make a motion for this budget amendment? I move we approve the budget amendment as presented. Motion by Mr. Carrie. Second by Miss Tubig. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. I. Any opposed? Thank you. Motion carries. Reimbursement resolution. Dr. Gway. So this is um for your consideration uh to adopt a resolution expressing our intent uh to finance expenditures that will be occurred. This is a common uh practice that districts will do. Julie, if you'll switch the to the other attachment, the resolution if you don't mind and just I'm going to have that in the background. Let's get it. And so, um,
108one of the things that may jump out to you is is in section two, it says right below, there we go. Stop right there. It says $55 million. Do we anticipate we're going to spend $55 million before we have the bond funds? Absolutely not. But it will allow us to start doing work on different projects that we don't have those funds. And in fact, what I would tell you is we'll have very I don't anticipate we'll have very much spent by the time we get those bond funds. But it gives us the green light that as we have expenses related to some of those projects and those projects are all the way down. Julie, if you'll go to the very last page, thank you. Right there. that this is where it really gives us kind
109of a focus on these are the things that we're looking at. Uh and it really to be to be completely honest it's it's really just prop A, Prop B, Prop C, Prop D. It gives us that ability to uh that if we were to exceed 55 million, we would have to come back to y'all. But if we exceed 55 million, man, holy cow are we working fast. And also we we're going to have Brian Grubs come next week to talk about sales. In fact, we're going to have a conversation with Brian tomorrow about just the the process of selling the bonds. But this gives us the green light. So, so what you've witnessed tonight with uh FGH and I is the closure of the 2018 bond and this is the kickoff of the 2025 work
110that we're about to do. And so it it's it's almost like that was the last phase. Now we're we're talking about the new phase. And so this is just a reimbursement resolution that gives us the ability to start the work. And you'll hear one of the very first projects that we're going to talk about before the end of the night is Highland Lakes Elementary Drive. That is going to be that that would be one that not only are we going to be talking about doing, we hope to have done before we actually have all the uh bond bonds sold. So So anyway, I would entertain any questions. I will tell you this is my first rodeo to do this. Uh and so Mackie will be riding shotgun with me if y'all have questions, comments, what
111is the approximate timeline of the bond sale and the funds being received? So, we're going to actually we've not had that conversation. That's a great question and and so tomorrow, Bill and I and Mr. Verdell are going to be uh with Brian Grubs in a Zoom for about an hour, I think. Um, and we're going to get a better idea of of those bond sales. But what he's going to be doing, Brian is going to come to the board meeting uh on June 2nd and do a presentation on that very topic. Generally speaking, and Bill, you can help me out on this, but generally speaking, it's probably going to be somewhere in August when we sell the bonds. Any other questions? Yes, sir. That's exactly correct. We would uh and so the very you know
112one of the ones we'll be bringing towards uh tonight that I already mentioned is the Highland Lakes uh drive that that has to go through the process that it does not negate any of the rules that apply. If it's above 25,000 will bring it to the board. Anybody want to make a motion for that resolution? I'll move that the board of trustees adopt the resolution declaring intention to reimburse project expenditures which is before the board this evening. Motion by Mr. River Purto. Second by Mr. Bergman. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. All right. Bond architect and engineering services. Mr. Riddle. All right. So, one of the first orders of business is um to retain services of of an architect. And as you all know, we retain services from Fluger
113Architects for the pre-bond work. And now that the bond has been approved, u the board may amend the contract with Fluger Architects to clarify the scope of work to include any and all work related to the approved bond projects. Um, Marble Falls ISD administration recommends um that we continue utilizing the services of flu fluger architects for the 2025 bond uh projects. We feel fluger is is our best option in terms of uh e economically and to be able to just hit the ground running uh with with these projects. They they know us, we know them, they know our needs. um they they can swiftly begin um the design phase of of the process for us. Um I will tell you if we were to go out for new RFQS with with other architects, we can
114do that, but that that could take additional months um to go through that process before we could get started. Um again, it's it's Marfallist's administration recommendation that we use Flugger Architects for the 2025 bond projects. With that, I would entertain any questions that you may have. Questions, comments. Is is this who we use for the last set of bond projects? We used them for um pre-bond planning. No, I mean the 2018 we used for 2018 for pre-bond planning and the the actual uh work. Huckabe was who we used. just the ones that are listed. Yeah. No, there there would be some other projects. um that that we would need to discuss later. So, this is just specifically for those um at the high school for the um you know, the multi-purpose and uh weight room
115or yeah, the weight room auxiliary and um the new baseball field, softball replacements, the additions to the Max Copeland locker rooms, um and the and the new CTE wing. Is this a max dollar amount or will it decrease depending on where bids come in at for the specific projects? Because I now we're doing all these projects in one fell swoop. We're probably going to do them individually. Um, but I know they're they're hand they're handling all the plans and design for each one, but I just asking the question if that's 3.275 275 is that max or can it go down depend on SDS, CDs, DDS, all those things as they come in and construction bidding comes in accordingly. It's what it is whether prices are actually more or less because usually it's a lot of
116times that numbers estimated based on your total budget cost for the projects, aren't they? So, yeah. Okay. No sir, that that would be later. So again, this is a proven flugger just for these specific uh projects at at the high school that are listed. Any other questions? Anybody want to make a motion on this? Something different. I'll make a motion. Okay. I move that the board approve Fluger Architects to be the designer for the above projects in the amount of $3.275 million. Motion by Miss McCary. Second. Second by Mr. Verell. Any discussion? I've got one more question just for fun. Okay. Do we know out of this total $172 million total bond project? Like what percentage of that are we talking about here? Is this$und00 million of it? $7 million of it. I'm just trying
117to get an idea of how much we're paying for these. About 5253 million. on their on their other the other attachment. Yeah. Thank you. Other discussion. Are we ready to vote on this? I guess uh all those in favor say I. I. I. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. Um, considering possible action to adopt a required prevailing wage rate schedule in connection with any and all 2025 bond projects and other con construction projects authorized by the board in the 2025, 2026, and 2026, 2027 school years. Mr. I'm going to say something real real quick because I just want to remind most of y'all have been there. Most of y'all remember we did this in consent for years and years and we just kind of got away from it and so what Stan's picking up he
118will probably redo periodically and so run with it Stan. So that this is a requirement that we you know required by law Texas government code section 2258.02 to adopt prevailing wages for any construction projects. Uh the last time that we did this again was uh in 2022. There are two options that are available for public schools when looking at prevailing wages. Either one, a school district may conduct a survey to determine what the prevailing rate of daily wages is for the community where work will be completed or two, a school district may use the prevailing wage rate as determined by the US Department of Labor through the Davis uh Bacon Act. So we recommend uh to continue utilizing prevailing wage rate as determined by the US Department of Labor through the Davis Bacon Act. Additionally,
119administration is presenting this for consideration of and possible action uh to adopt the prevailing wage schedule as presented uh for Bernard County as determined by the US Department of Labor in accordance with the Davis Bacon Act to be used by all con uh contractors as the prevailing wage schedule for all district construction projects. So, the these are updated a few times a year. Whenever the district goes out for bid, we will first verify what the current rates are and then to include in any uh of the bid packages. The proposed motion language allows administration to do that without going back to the board for at least those construction projects that are set out in the time frame above. And so I have motion language on this and and then moving forward we'll have this um
120in consent agenda throughout the year. Very good questions, comments. Well, can you repeat that one more time? I was going to say you just did it. Check. Thank you. Other questions, motions. Can I make a motion to approve all the beautiful language that Stan just said up there about 30 seconds ago? Sure. Motion as presented. As presented board packet. Sure. There's a motion by Mr. Pac. Second by Mr. sharers. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. All right. Consider and possible action regarding the selection delivery method for construction services for 2025 bond projects as required by Texas government code 2269.056. Mr. Will. Julie, if you could pull up um attachment A. spreadsheet. It just shows the different projects and um the different delivery methods. And so um this kind of
121gives you board an idea of each of the different projects and and kind of the planning that goes into that. And so this is specific to just the delivery method um used for each of those projects that provides the best value for for the district. And so you can see there that there there's really only three um delivery methods that we are are going to use throughout the course of all of these projects. Really the number one is construction manager at risk. And um what that means is that we would hire a construction manager and they would begin that process, work with the the architects on the design phase of it and once enough design is done, they would give us a uh um kind of a maximum price. And so if after that was
122going and and they exceeded the the cost of that where they would um they would been the be responsible party um if if that were to happen. So C is is what we believe is is going to be uh the best value for us. Mackie talked about job order contract um later um with the Highland Lakes project. We'll we'll get into that, but CM job order contracts and then our tips and buy board which are are vetted vendors that we've already vetted through the process and that helps with u instead of us having to go out for for bids that are timely, we can already use tips or buy a board for some of the delivery methods. So those would be the three major ones that are in uh attachment A and administration recommends that
123the board approved the proposed construction delivery methods for these projects as presented in attachment A. Some of these may change, but uh what you're approving is just construction manager at risk job order contract and tips uh tips and by board. Okay. Questions, comments? You want to make a motion on that? I'll move that the board approve the proposed construction delivery methods for all bond projects as presented in attachment B. Motion by Mr. Verdell. Second by Miss Tubig. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. construction testing for any 2025 bond construction project. Uh this is for the board to consider and possible action to delegate authority to the superintendent or his designated rank, select and execute agreement with one or more geotechnical engineer uh engineers for construction materials at testing of
124services land surveyors is necessary for the 2025 bond construction projects. pursuant to Texas Government Code Chapter 2254 based on their demonstrated competence and qualifications. Uh administration recommends the board approves the delegation of authority to the superintendent for limited authority to contract for construction related testing. Um and this would be for the new CTE wing for the the multi-purpose uh center and for uh new baseball field. all of those that will require some geotechnical engineers to come in and and survey the the land. Administrative recommendation. Anybody have questions, comments, motions. I'll make a motion that we approve the administration's recommendations as presented in the board packet here. Motion by Mr. Verell. Second. Second by Mr. Pac. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. Potential purchase of Highland Lakes Elementary queuing lane
125and additional parking. Mr. Whittle. All right. So, this was the first official project for the 2025 bond. Um, and this is much needed and will be much appreciated at Highland Lakes Elementary School for a queuing lane drive. You can see the the diagram image u on the as presented on the screen. This would be a two-lane queuing lane that goes um all the way around and and pretty far down at the end of the property line. And then we'll turn there will be new parking areas. Um they're to the north of the pond, south of the pond, and then uh on the west side of the the the current parking lot. That's a total of 56 additional parking spots that will be added to Highland Lakes Elementary for the different activities that they have going
126on. That will be much needed. And then the main purpose of this is to get the traffic flowing and off of Highway 1431 and away from some of those local businesses um that get congested during drop off and pickup at Highland Lakes Elementary School. Um if this project u were approved tonight, it could get started as soon as possible. They're just waiting on one um approval from LC Mackie. You heard that? We still are waiting on approval from LCR, but other than that, um workers are ready to and and eager to get started on this project. The hope would be that we could get started soon and would be ready to go by day one of the 2526 school year. Um we budgeted we allocated 680,000 for this project for uh with the community advisory
127council and our bid came in at this at $612,252. So um about $67,000 under budget on this project. So we're excited excited to announce that. Um we would like to select American Constructors as the um general contractor for this project at Holland Lakes Drive. With that, I would entertain any questions you may have. Questions, comments? Those ponds are also going to be new. New as well, right? Those retaining ponds. Is that part of it? The retaining ponds that's adding in those, right? Those aren't already there. They're they're already there's one already there. They may have to add um may have to add one small one, expand it. Okay. Um but yeah, it's it's pretty much ready to go. There's uh some tree work that'll be needed just clean up around and then u will help
128tremendously with the flow of traffic and it's exciting to get the first project going. This will be the first one. Absolutely. Island Lakes Administration. Are y'all good with this? Happy. Were you about to say something, Mr. Bush? Understood. Yes, sir. All right. Motion on this one. Motion by Mr. Boschers. Second. Second by Mr. Pac. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Carries. Thank you. All right. We are on item two. Almost out of letters here. Um, MFHS choir out of state travel request. And I've heard you've never had a queue at a board meeting.
