And so going to 10 B measure

005construction bond program update. And with that we invite a Dan Noris our director of MOT who provides you with his monthly report. Good evening everyone. All right. So this would be January 14th. We'll be talking about the bond updates for the last month for the last of 2025. As you can see that is the picture of the new fence for the TK and K playground at Brook Tree Elementary. Um we also be and I'll talk about it in a minute but we be in design another fan for the sumale school. Um so these are the project updates in the schedule. A projects and design. Uh so December was kind of a slower month because you know we had the break in there and we kind of slowed down because of the hold up on the

006uh MOT warehouse but I'll get to that in a second. Projects in design right now we have like I said the Summerdale playground fence and um as a matter of fact the layout we did the created the layout today and once it goes to plan we'll be sharing that with the principal. But we're going to be utilizing some space kind of in the front of Summerdale um and not really taking away from the playground area. So I think it's going to be a great design. Also the playground design at Brooky, the current place structure. Um it's it's a pretty amazing design. We got to pick the colors yesterday and our um we're looking for the April break for the installation. as always the the the school we we're still in design is the school kitchen

007assessments um as well as the openings which the reconfiguration of the sister school pot entrance openings that will a take place over the break or over the summer break and those are in design as well as the mechanical systems in a majestic way in summer the hehensive infrastructure renewal and utility assessment projects out to bid. So over the last summer we moved a bunch of portables and added two new restrooms at uh Majestic Way and Ruskin. Um we bid the painting of all those buildings and so that came back um and um um we're going to have that done. The next project is uh that was bid was the Vancy Park various improvements. That includes the windows and doors. So we're going to replace all of the windows and doors at Fincy as well as

008install a set of double doors inside the the main hallway from the office area. And I think we're going to actually move the entrance to the office uh over a little bit so it kind of all um is the right layout for that for that office area and those improvements uh will be taking care of place over the summer and that's for a centralized point of entry. Correct. That's correct. Yes, thank you. So, project in progress right now. So, although the progress on the warehouse has slowed, we have made great improvements with AT&T as well as creating our raceway. So, um, the whole setback was because of the fiber, um, the main fiber ran into the district and it ran right across the the building of the MOT, so we couldn't really demo it. Um,

009so we've created a new raceway coming from the the telephone pulls and uh it goes into the uh central kitchen which then ends up temporarily in room A3 at Pedmont. Um, so we've been working with AT&T very closely. We actually met them out there today. We they approved our raceway one that we had done and one there should be starting to pull their fibers within the next week or two. That's very good news. A security replacement. So oh I'm sorry the comprehensive infrastructure renewal and utility assessment so solar. That's the other part of that. Um, we are nailing up the last punch list items for all those sites and we're just waiting on PGE for the interconnection. Um, so we're really really close and you know, we're just waiting waiting for PG basically at this

010point. A projects continued with and progress continued. So we're right now um installing the new PA systems at Noble and then once that's done uh Smont will will start um and security replacement Brook Tre Cherrywood Lanew Ruskin B par Park and are all taking place. Brooky is 99% complete. We're going to be training staff there next week and that will be fully implemented. Projects completed. Uh the gender neutral signage in the restroom at all three sister schools. So that's all completed and and on next the next slide actually have a couple pictures of that. So I wanted to make sure that that was known. Also the TK playground fences like we saw at the beginning that's completed as well as the security replacement Majestic Way and Northwood and there's actually the new signage for those

011restros that all right measure you. All right. So during these presentations we show you the the uh construction schedule and it has a bunch of different colors. Um and basically uh Josh and I we decided to make the key. I think Tony did this like 10 years ago when he started but no one really knew what the key meant. Right. It's going to be difficult for me to show you during the on those slides because I'm color blind. But uh I can just tell you what they are. So the red vertical line kind of goes down the middle that's your board meeting date and that moves every month. The yellow line is basically where it says it's in design phase. Uh red line is in DSA review phase. Purple line is the bidding phase. Green

012line award project construction and closeout phase. The blue line is just the duration of the project and the colored line it could be any color with the black spine is the percentage of completed project. Not all projects have a color coat. An if like for example if it doesn't go to DSA it's not going to have the red line in it. All right. So with that said there's a bunch of colors on there. One of them has a black line that goes through. It's hard for me to see. Um but that's kind of what it says. And we really work to try to make it a little bit more readable. So you can kind of see the fire alarm replacement design. So the the color chart kind of coincides with that. I would just think

013that's great offering that explanation of the legend going with those color codes. I would just recommend that in the future reports you maintain that legend moving forward. So one for our board but as well as for our public as they review our ongoing projects they have a good sense of where we are. Sure. Thank you. So the next three pages are the program schedule and then final question the final page is still the same picture of the MOT building that's in demo. But are there any questions? Thank you so much for the wonderful presentation. Are there any questions? I have c of question you talk i don't so classrocuration this is on your third sl the do for the special class we decide on having on convation our special teachers. Remember we did one pilot

014classroom this year and we have an upcoming meeting this month to get some feedback on how that's going so we can determine whether to stay on the course with that or if we have to revisit a different resolution. Okay, that's good to know. I think we were going to do two two pot openings per school. Okay, perfect. and the Vincy improvements. Can you run that bias one more time? Yeah. So, we're going to be replacing right now at each classroom has like a store front we call it section of windows and a door. A lot of those windows and doors have old plexy glass. We actually painted them a couple years ago to kind of make them look a little bit nicer. Um but they scratch really easy and um the bottom is kind of

015getting rusted out. It's it's it was built at time the school was built. So over time it kind of decayed. So we replacing all that with uh new windows and a new door system. Are those Are those going to be double pin windows? I believe so don't hold me to that if we invest in replacing windows. Yeah. Rather have it like two or three pains so we can insulate the classrooms better. Yes, I think we're actually changed it a little bit. So the bottom half is not current windows anymore. It's more of a panel which would get the installation but up higher the kind of the skylights would be. Yes, but I will get a 100% answer for you. just make sure because we are investing in that do it for the next 24 want

016to suggest is and because it happens to me do the fcing right for su that you can get someone to take a p can and p Those speed bums in the paring lot ied across the paring paring and don't go so speed m not vis and me and par you knowal for me over because i cann see not on the side me people on the side the teachers everybody knows the speed bums are the par know but for someone like like me someone doesn't know the side well you can see the speed b it can be haard right Absolutely painted back. Yeah, for sure. And that's something I can do within the MOT department. Not a problem. Matter of fact, we have a brand new awesome paint sprayer that our carpenter loves to use. There

017you go. So this is opportunity to perf everything else is good. Thank you. Any other com I'm trying to remember I don't mean to put you on the spot. So it was either December November's meeting we were applauding the new landscaping at Noble and we brought up the parking lot remember the has that I remember that was going to be maybe part of yes the paving project maybe tied with P metal or something that was already in the works in the plan. I don't see that here. Where does it fit? So are we refresh my memory on what we're talking in the Nobel parking lot the side one that's not in the turnaround. Uhhuh. Yeah, people are backing onto the sidewalk. Um, I can follow up start my team and get an answer for the

018next board meeting. Great. Thank goodness we get that. I'll make sure it gets done. Okay. To verify that portion of the school is our full responsibility. There isn't any portion of that that's the city. Uh no, it's our parking lot so it's ours. Yeah. Okay. I just wanted to make sure. So yeah, but we'll address it for sure. Any other questions? And thank you so much for having the photos of the signage to and the wonderful presentation. The key is also very helpful. So thank you for that as well. Thank you. All right. We move on to number 11 superintendent report. Dr. Yes, I just have two to three things. One, just want to wish everybody a happy new year. We certainly hope everyone had a good restful vacation and ready to be back in

0192026. I know our students are always eager to get back to school and see their friends again and get started one to close out the year successfully. One second, I just want to say thank you to our board. This month is National School Board's appreciation month. So not sure if you knew that but wanted to make sure one we gave our gratitude and thanks for your leadership. You know it's a very lonely job at times and it's not it's a volunteer uh role that's so critical to everything that we do in our district for our students and our families. And so thank you for you know your ongoing commitment and your support and always making sure that we put our students first in our decision making. So it's really a pleasure to have a strong

020governance team and Baressa has had a well-known reputation for that and I appreciate you know we all do your leadership and your ongoing support with the work that we need to do. So thank you for that. And then also I just wanted to remind everyone there's an event this Friday. It's our district 4 um stars G um being hosted by council member Cohen over at the Barriessa Community Center and it's an opportunity just to recognize a lot of good folks across the Bariessa community that have been nominated for all of their good work. So hope to see you all there. Thank you. Thank you so much for that report. All right. Any comments and announcements from the board? Okay. Well, thank you so much again for that comment. And I also wanted to say that

021uh the district also received more red cards um for those who need uh cards that say they're right if an ice agent approaches you. So if you need some they should be in the office at your school site. Yes. So actually Miss Gomez has already distributed and divided them up school so everyone will have an allocation. Thank you for making sure we got those resources. Yes, of course. And nothing on review and discussion. No public hearings. And next up is review and action. We have item 15A1 board policy 2120. It is recommended the board review and approve board policy20 superintendent recruitment and selection for a first reading. This is an updated language per CSBA recommendation based on a new Senate bill 521 that was passed just recently in 2025 which prohibits the employment of a

022person as superintendent if within the past 5 years that candidate was convicted of any felonies and wrongdoings. So just making sure that background check is done thoroughly uh for those potential candidates coming into superintendency. I'll move to approve board policy 2120 for first reading. Second all those who approve all right any oppose all right and we pass that policy. All right. Moving on to A2 board by law 9321. So the next item along with the corresponding 15A3, 15A4 um are related to close session adjustment. So if you'd like to do a block vote, you're welcome to do so. And this just again outlines the provisions that the board has of what can be discussed during closed session and when decisions are made in closed session what kind of documents uh need to be made available

023for our public in terms of ono transparency allர to move to review and appr by 9321 one exibit one and exibit 2 all those in any all right those approved in pass on to item b1 acceptance of 2425 annual financial audit thank you it is recommend We do have our consultant here that works with us from Nigro and Nigro. Welcome, Jessica. It's a pleasure having you with us today and she will provide you with an update on how we did in our audit. Thank you for the introduction. My name is Jessica Miller. I'm a partner with Nigro and Nigro. We serve as your external independent auditor. Some familiar faces. So, you've probably heard my speeches in the past, but just to let you know, I like to go through kind of a brief overview of

024our process and then an overview of the report itself and then I'm more than happy to answer questions or maybe dig into areas in more detail if you'd like a little bit more explanation. So, our process, it's similar to how it has been in past years. We break it up into three different stages throughout the year. So I'll actually be kind of gearing up uh pretty soon for site visits which is our first stage. With our site visits, we do a rotation of your different sites and we look at attendance taking procedures at those sites. Attendance is a big driver for a lot of your different funding and so you want to make sure there's proper controls, checks and balances over how your attendance is being taken at the individual school sites. When we're out

025at school sites, we'll also go to some ASBs and look at the procedures happening over ASB. uh money coming in, money coming out again to make sure there's proper controls, checks and balances for those sight level transactions. A little bit later on in kind of spring time, we'll come to the district office. At this point, we're not at June 30th, so your books aren't closed, so we can't look at any final numbers. So, we're not doing a financial focus as far as the final numbers, but we are looking at controls as well as compliance. For controls, again, those checks and balances, we do a lot of questionnaires with different staff. These can be people in business service, sometimes ed services. Uh maintenance can be there a lot of different areas where going through our questionnaire

026just to make sure do you have processes in place? walking through those processes, who reviews, who approves who initiates those types of questions. We also pull samples of transactions. We'll pull a few cash receipts. We'll pull several different one scatters making sure we're hitting all your various funds that you're operating. We pull some payroll transactions, making sure the proper rates are being applied. So again, not testing 100% by any means really just kind of samples across the board to make sure that what we're seeing is lining up to the procedures that we were told were in place and that there are those approvals and checks and balances. At that time, we're also looking at federal and state compliance. So state compliance, the state has a specific list of different programs that we have to test

027and what we look for for that. These can be a variety of things. Sometimes it's certain notices being posted by a certain date or it can be allowable expenditures for a particular program whether or not a plan is updated annually. These types of things. Again, these are set by state of California as far as which different programs were required to test. And then we also look at federal compliance. So we do a rotation of your different federal programs. Uh we looking at the ones that are over a certain dollar threshold but then at least once every three year those larger programs have to be audited and so we're kind of rotating our way through those and then going through the federal requirements that will apply to it. A lot of a payment indenture testing and

028then some other various federal compliants that we have to check as well. Fast forward again, we come back uh in the fall and when we're doing our final audit piece for the fall, we're really focusing heavily on financials at that point in time. So, we're past June 30th, your books have all been closed for the year. We're taking your unaudited actuals and we're basically working our way through those numbers and verifying the numbers presented there by typing it out to supporting documentation. So, you report this much cash, let me tie that out to cash and county records. Tie it out to bank statements. You report these accounts payable. Let me tie those out to invoices, things like that. Again, just kind of working our way through those unaudited currents. And then all of that leads

029to this lovely audit report that you receive each year. So, not the most fun reading, but I'll kind of give you the highlights. Um, we start our very beginning. Page one is actually our opinion letter. This is again another year of a clean or unmodified opinion which is what you would want and saying that we agree that the financials as presented here are presented fairly in all material aspects. So that's what that opening opinion letter is. After you that there is managements discussion analysis. That's actually the page that's up right now. There's about six or seven or so pages at the beginning of the audit report. It's really gives smaller shortened financial statements but it gives comparative information as well. So a lot of times if you're just want to get a quick overview, this

030is where I would point people. It has current year as well as prior year data and some very generalized reasons for kind of what went up, what went down gives you a little bit of context and overview. After that, you're going to hit the main financial statements. And so those are going to be the full financials with all the numbers presented or somewhere like page 10ish. I'm guessing here. I do n't remember the exact page number I gave you. Go with that one. So, full financial statements that are presented. You got several pages of those and they'll show both government wind and the fund financial. School districts are actually required to report under two different models of accounting, which is why you have kind of two sets of financial statements there. Fund financial statements are

031going to look more similar to the reports that you're used to seeing coming from the district. That's how they report day-to-day. After that, you get to the notes. So, about five, six pages of the financial statements and then the notes. The notes have a little bit of a dry reading part. A lot of required disclosures about accounting policies and procedures. Uh, some of the more lengthy notes deal with pension and OPEB. probably have of any area the most required disclosure. So that takes a large section of the notes. After you get through the notes, we get into some additional supplementary schedules in the back. This is going to be a big jump forward. I know she's scrolling there. Notes are the big section in the middle. Uh there's a variety of different supplementary schedules in

032the back. Again, pensions and OPEDB require quite a few schedules. So, they're taking up really the bulk of this. Um, budgetary comparison is the first one. Then it goes into some pension and OPEB schedules. Also be schedules on your average daily attendance, your instructional time, your federal expenditures for the years. Those are some of the maybe the highlights. After we get through those different supplementary schedules, then we get to our additional letters in the back. So, the first letter was our opinion letter over your financials as a whole. The letters in the back are also opinion letters, but they are the auditor report in compliance with governmental auditing standards, in compliance with federal standards and state standards. So that's what those three different letters are and kind of the different areas that they're addressing. These

033are all it was unmodified as we're going through these. One after the letters at that point we get into the final section which is going to be findings and results. So this will list any findings that we noted during the audit process as well as any follow-up to previous year findings and whether or not those have been implemented. Then the very very end is any just kind of management comments. So these would be things not severe enough to be considered a finding but areas for improvement really is what those last very end comments are. So again this is really just an overview of kind of how the audit report is put together and what's included but if there's any areas you would like me to discuss further I'd be happy to do so. Thank you

034so much for the really wonderful and thoughtful overview. Are there any questions from the board? So as a summary are you able to provide for the benefit of the public listening how did we fair? So I think done well overall. So again clean un fight opinion which is saying we agreeing that things are presented fairly. There were a few findings this year. So, a lot of times I'll get the question of like, wait, how do we have an unified opinion but still have a finding? It's kind of the idea that you can pass a test, even pass it well, but maybe still get a couple of questions wrong is kind of the way I explain that buuse sometimes that's a question that will come back. So, overall again cleaner unmodified opinion. So, doing well overall.

035Good to know. Thank you. Any other questions? All right. All right. Is there a movement to accept the financial audit? to accept the audit. I'll second that. All those in favor? Hi. Does anyone oppose this? Thank you so much. Of course, I think I'm still up for the next item if I'm not mistaken. All right. Next up, B2. Acceptance of 2425 bond measure LNU annual independent financial and performance audit. Thank you. And it is recommended the board accept this 2425 bond measure LNU annual independent financial and performance audit. and Jessica will continue with her presentation on this portion of our review. Thank you. This will be a quicker presentation obviously a much smaller report. So um this is our audit focus specifically on your bond measures which are kept in fund 21 of your financial

036statements. We really break this up throughout the year as well. We don't have the site testing part where we're looking at attendance but the spring visit we're looking at your bond projects as well as the district as a whole. When we're talking about bonds, we're focusing primarily on expenditures and contract testing. Obviously, the purpose of a bond is issuing funds to then be spent on construction and modernization project. So the main activity is construction expenditure. So we pull a pretty large sample of construction expenditures one focusing mainly on the h dollar value items, but we also try to get a cross section and pull some lower dollar value so that we have things covering different areas as well. We'll also pull a sample of contracts and make sure that there was proper bidding done over

037those contracts that were announced when it needed to be announced that you didn't have change orders that exceeded the limits, things like that. And then have a you have any payroll which you guys do have a little bit of payroll charge to the bond we look at that make sure it's properly allocated that it actually was something bondrated that the payroll is covering. One at year end again as with your regular district financial audit at that point we're going through the unaudited actual specific to fund 21 and making sure we can tie out the documentation there. Bond's a little bit simpler in that sense it's usually just kind of cash. main revenue that you see is interest coming in from your cashing and county treasury and then usually some accounts payable for open construction projects

038that are being paid out throughout the year. That leads to this much more easily digestible smaller report here. So um this one actually starts off with just kind of an introductory sheet at the very beginning just talks about the current bond measures that you have and the members of your CBOC committee. So a little bit of background information there and then sorry know you're trying to scroll here. So that's really just an introductory no real changes on this one. Just kind of lays out the bonds. After that is our opinion letter. It'll look fairly similar to the district report. Again, a clean or unmodified opinion saying that financial statements presented here are presented fairly in all material aspects. Um, that's the shortened version of that very long lengthy leather letter, excuse me. Uh, after that,

039your financial statements a little bit smaller in this case really just have the two pages that are shown there and then some notes after that. Not really dealing with accounting policies and procedures. Although a kind of the one particular note that's also in your main district audit but you'll see the bond schedules as far as the open debt that you have related to the bonds and then the repayment schedules. That's probably the most interesting of the notes. Most other ones are just accounting policies that are listed out. One after you get through the notes, there's two letters in the very back. So the first one is an opinion letter with governmental auditing standard. So that's really going to mirror that first of the back opinion letters on the district audit. And then the second letter

040is uh what we call our performance report and it really just details the steps that we take when we're doing a bond audit. It's actually very very last page of the report kind of has a bullet point list of which is next one here of really procedures that we perform where it talks about a pulling samples of expenditures, looking at salaries, looking at contracts, change orders, that kind of thing. Kind of have just a bullet point. So if you're curious like, hey, what's actually involved in this? that gives you kind of a shortened version of what we do for a bond audit. So again, pretty brief overview but I'm happy to answer any questions you might have specific to the bond report as well. Thank you so much again. Any questions for this audit report

041specifically? So we have isued the enti bond amoun we have any more part of it left for the bond measure u weed all the 98 milon. have spending schle that would be more management yes i would on on spending we haven't noted any issues with not spending timely we don't have any such issue with spending no is spending down the funds and we have issued all the bonds we have issued all the bonds and we are on track for spending down so we avoid the irs oversight the other v on the on the comm challenges two opportunities right there included in the taanation be someone c get that be good to see more people inv more and on the good than you than you and just to reimburse to the public we have a vacancy

Well, thank you so much for your presentation. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Next up is item. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. Is there motion?
