001special board meeting because we had a shift in date from what we set in our organizational meeting the beginning of the year. So, not that it's not special, but not really. That's why it's titled that. So, um we're going to go ahead and call the the meeting to order and if we can do roll call. >> Mr. Mr. Bman >> here. >> Mr. F >> here. >> Mrs. Lman >> here. >> Mr. Napier >> here. >> Mrs. Winger >> here. >> Okay. And then next on number item number three is our adoption of the agenda. Um just want to thank Mr. Bellman for our board prep and I think everybody had a chance to take a look and it's been posted. So we'll do a roll call on or a motion I should say for
002the adoption of the agenda. So move >> second. Mr. Bman, >> yes. >> Mr. Napier, yes. Mr. F. Yes. >> Mrs. Lindman. Yes. Mrs. Winger. >> Yes. >> Okay. And June was continued to be busy. So, we actually had um two meetings, our regular board meeting and then we also had a special meeting. Um and that second special meeting, um as you all recall, was to wrap up what Heather needed, um us to review and approve through closing out the previous school year. Um, so if I can have a motion to approve the minutes for both our regular and our special board meeting. >> Second. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. >> Yes. >> Mr. Bowman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Lman. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nier. >> Yes. >> Okay, moving right along. Public
003participation. I don't believe we had anybody sign up this evening, so we'll >> skip over there. Um, again, I mention this every month, but I don't know that I've ever seen this um item empty. We have a very um giving um not only community, but we often see our FEA um and our PTO here consistently. So, again, this month, we've got some special accommodations to approve. Um looks like some money from digital impress impressions to the choir. um FBA stepping in and helping with snacks during the April D-stress, right? >> Yes. >> Uh testing week and year end um professional development breakfast. And um some another donation for kindergarten registration welcome bags, welcoming our our little kindergarteners. So fun. Um and then we have FEA for teacher lunches during teacher appreciation week and um FA
004lunch for juniors and seniors ELA field trip. So need a motion to approve all of those accommodations. >> So moved. Second. >> Mr. Napier. >> Yes. >> Mr. Bowman. >> Yes. >> Mr. F. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Lindman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. >> Yes. >> Okay. Now you listen to me for a while. Pass it over. Number seven is our treasures report and we'll have Heather bounce into the treasur's consent agenda. >> Okay. Uh for the year end um expenditures did exceed revenue for the month of June by 468,000. Uh this was due to some large onetime expenditures. We purchased some uh Chromebooks. We made a payment for the bus garage um ESC services and then other miscellaneous expenditures. the bus garage. Um, the last time I heard it is ahead of where we
005were supposed to be and they are to be wrapped up believe the first week of August. Is that right? >> Um, got an update that we're still delay on the sighting on the old part of the garage bus garage. A week delay at this point. So, >> okay. >> Yeah. Getting a little anxious. >> I don't know why that green is so pretty. >> Yeah. like that's going to be a party. Let's get her to the green. Peace out, green. >> It clashes quite well with everything else. >> Yes, I'm sure. I'm sure. >> Um revenue from fiscal year 24 to 25 did increase by 2.6 million. This was largely due to um uh property tax and also uh medical insurance reimbursement. claims reimbursements that came in throughout the year. Uh expenses also increased from
00624 to 25 by 3.3 million. The majority of that was the transfer of the 3.7 million from general fund over to the 070. That was um that happened at the very end of the school year, but that did stay within the realm of the the fund itself. The ending cash balance in fiscal 24 was 17.5 million and we ended fiscal year 25 with 18.5. So we ended with a million more than well actually 978,000 more than um fiscal 24. I was able to close out fiscal 25 on July 1st. uh actually closed out I think it was around 12 12:30 and Len got all 276 requisitions turned in purchasers and she started purchasing right away and then Don was able to get payroll in and payday for July 3rd. So everything was closed and done
007and we moved right into the new fiscal year um pretty seamlessly. So, uh, that is my financial report. I do have my, um, permanent appropriations for you for this time. I do have one, um, new item for the certificate of estimated resources. That is the title 28 grants. This grant, as of right now, it did come in about 25,000 less than last year. Um, I'm hoping when all the grants are done and is uploaded into the new I don't even want to call it the new CCIP because it's called the one financial plan now so it's the OFP which is something new to learn um but this grant usually runs close to 48,000 it came at 21 um but the appropriations uh the only thing that changed on my permanent appropriations is I added more
008to the maintenance fund that was the uh when I took the appropriations At the end of June, it was like 350,000 and now I have it at 1.1 million. That's to help offset or to account for all the expenditures that we have uh budgeted right now. That's the paving, the carpet, the epoxy, everything that's going to be going into the building. Um everything's projected in there. And then the other item I have on here is for LGS, the local government services. They provide all my gap reporting. Um since we um we don't really keep track of inventory. We take we do the aa statements which is other financial reports. Um this saves audits expenses right around 25,000. So, I pay about 6,000 a year for LGS to come in and do that instead of paying
009for the actual um auditing of the all of the um inventory. And then I have all of my disposals that I need to do according to the record retention schedule. And I believe that is it. Okay. Well, let's do um a motion and then we can have um some discussion if needed. >> Okay. Anybody have >> Yes, sir. >> questions at the end of the table. Mr. N. >> Yes. Uh that title 2A is dropped. What? If you said it, I'm sorry. U but why >> why I haven't got an answer as of yet. >> Okay. >> Um even for last year for school 25. I submitted, they're called project cash requests and I submitted those. We they all had to be in by June 11th >> of last month for fiscal 25. Um I
010still have not received the cash yet for that grant as of today. So, when I contacted um DEW, they said it's a glitch in the system that um they're working on as fast as I can. I hope I get it by next month. Um that's when the grants are supposed to be wrapped up. Then the new grant starts September 1st. But this grant is usually based on our special ed numbers and our special ed numbers didn't drop that much for that grant to be cut that much. Um but our um title one which is also another special ed that did drop about 20,000. I anticipated that >> but not this grant to drop >> by 25. >> So that's a state that's a state grant. >> It's a federal grant. That was what I wondered
011because I'm wondering if some of the >> That's probably where it's >> That's my fear. >> Yep. Okay. >> Yep. We have four grants. Uh title four, title two, title one, and 6B, and they're all federal. So, um the only one that came in, not that I would say normal, was our 6B. Title one came in a little bit less, but this one dropped significantly, which kind of has me a little worried. So, so and piggybacking off of that, what does that affect? >> Teachers, we pay nine teachers total out of all of our grants. So, what the grant doesn't pick up then comes out of general fund. >> Just wanted that. >> Yeah. >> Added to the >> and the next part that will be and I was talking to Sonia about this today
012is my next concern is what will happen to food service because food service is 100% pretty much funded with federal funds. So if this this trend continues, what is that going to affect with our food service? >> And it just seems like there's not a lot of heads up. It's just like you're just not getting it. So it's not like, hey, plan for this and in three years we're going to take it away. >> It's just surprising. >> Um >> maybe we could use some of our cash reserve for that. I'm just kidding. Sorry, that wasn't funny. But you know what I mean? If we need to move our cash reserve into the general fund, I'm really not being funny. I'm being for real. >> We may need it for days like that. >> Yes.
013>> Okay. Any other So, I'm assuming legislative wise, like we'll just talk about some of that when we get to Chel's report if there's anything for treasure. So, anybody else have any questions for Heather? >> Okay, looks like we're ready for roll call on that. Okay. Mrs. Winger, >> yes. >> Mr. Napier, yes. >> Mr. Bman, yes. >> Mr. F. >> Yes. Mrs. Lindman. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Item number nine and 10. We have our superintendent report followed by superintendent consent agenda. >> Thank you. Good evening everyone. Um good place in front of you. I guess I have a very positive news as far as what I put in front of you is that as far as all certificated openings, positions, employment, we should be filled 100% as of this evening. So
014excited to share that all with you here. Um especially at this time. That's again I'm still going to knock on wood. I know it's past July 9th or July 10, but um we're obviously now ready to go. We've been looking forward to the upcoming school year. This afternoon, uh Mr. Shoemaker and I went down to the cur center, spent the afternoon with Mr. Lavin, Mrs. Greenwich, and Miss Robinson. um really talking a little bit there about the manufacturing grant that we received and the pathways and um and career tech. And so we spent about two hours with them there looking at different options and considerations and establishing that. Really it was more of a a learning opportunity for both Ryan and I um as far as that career tech education and the funding piece and
015the mechanisms that go with that. Yes. >> Um my sister had a I gota go. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm so I'm sorry. >> All right. >> You can take notes. >> Yeah, >> we'll take notes. Do you >> mind? Shel's gonna take notes. Y >> All right. Um, >> okay. Get back on here. Where was I? >> Um, career center. >> Career center. Um, thank you. Just again, we spent the afternoon with them. I just wanted to share that out. Also, I I want to uh um really give a shout out here to to Mr. Shoemaker. He has been working very hard um and um as far as burning that midnight oil, if you will, as far as learning all the things that he does need to learn, spending a lot of time there.
016He is essentially as far as career tech education is concerned, he has become the resident expert here at Frederick Town. So proud of his work and actually now it's starting to be me. I'm going to him and ask him questions of this is all fitting together and how this is all working. So just wanted to commend him and his work here this summer and getting ready to go for the upcoming school year. As far as the agenda is concerned here um uh let me go ahead and just go through it. Uh item A under the consent agenda would be a motion to approve a delegate uh and alternate for the uh Ohio school board's conference in November.

Thank you for >> having interest in handling that. >> We'll make sure if anybody has any suggestions or questions, we'll make sure they got your cell phone and everything else. >> Yeah, she's gonna need a new number. >> She's gonna like all of a sudden block some calls. I'm just kidding. Um, so Mrs. Wanger, remind me we need to do our delegate and alternate for >> um so Chel is our um legislative liaison. So I would nominate her to be our delegate >> and would somebody like to be the alternate?

Why? >> Right. >> I'm not >> Oh, you're right. >> I'm not saying I'm not taking my ball and go home. I'm just saying there's no sense. >> Okay. Well, then why don't I sign up to be the alternate since we know that Shel and I aren't going anywhere and then if we need to tap one of you in, we can do that. Yep. >> Is that okay? >> Fine. Okay, that works. >> Let's do that. >> Paul's taking us balls going home. I don't I I hear you on that though. I appreciate you being >> It doesn't make any sense why people I

So then after that I think we're ready for roll call and Shel's gonna >> do that. Yeah. Can you do that for us? All right. Here we go. >> Mr. Folk. I was sorry. >> Roll call. >> Oh, I'll roll call. >> Yep. >> Yes. >> Mr. Napier. >> Yes. >> Uh, Mr. Bellman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Lindamman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. Yes. >> Okay. And then to be I'll do the roll call on this one. So, to be voted on separately, we have a 11A. If I need a motion to approve. >> So, moved. Second. >> Okay. So,
025Mr. Bman. >> Yes. >> Mr. Faulk. >> Yes. >> Myself. Yes. Mr. Napier. >> Yes. >> And Mrs. Wanger. >> Yes. >> Abstain. >> Sorry. We're still catching up. >> We're all just on Heather. We got Heather on our screen. So, >> yes. Sorry. >> Okay. So, number 12, one of my favorite parts of the agenda. No disrespect to our treasur and our superintendent, but we have our committee reports where we get to talk about our connections with the community and ways that the board members try to do so um and different things that we participate in to kind of stay in the loop of what's going on in the in our um village or our I should say our zip code and the county. So, I'll just kick off because I'm the first two
026here. So, um, career center meeting was actually held on June 23rd and some highlights from that was they approved, um, a replacement of a roof section. Um, they did accept, um, several resignations and there was, you know, a lot of discussion around the state bienial budget. That was kind of some highlights um, from that meeting. And I do I say this every month, but I do appreciate um having the opportunity to attend that meeting and kind of hear their discussion and they always give me the floor to share anything I want to share about our district and I'm never going to turn down that opportunity. So, um just know that I enjoy getting to share that out at their meeting. They have shifted some of their meetings um due to some board members and as
027well as some things that the treasurer needs to have accomplished during those meetings. So, their next meeting is already actually this week um this Thursday the 17th. So, I'll be bouncing down um to that. Um moving on to the FCDF um Frederick Town Community Development Foundation. There's a lot going on there. So, I put a handout in front of all of you um on Jennifer Williams um is the president of Williams Nonprofit Consulting. She um I the reason I printed that off was I wanted you to have her bio and not read that all out loud here, but I would encourage anybody to jump on her website and look at she has quite the the bio and the history um doing some advocacy and lobbying and such in um down at DC and actually at
028the state and we're fortunate that the Knox County Foundation um contracted with her for the the entire year um to be able to offer her services expertise um to like for example this coming well actually tomorrow we're having a meeting here from 3:00 to 5:00 it's a coaching session and it's free to the Frederick Town Community Development Foundation so she's been doing um a lot of meetings with nonprofits she's not a grant writer um look at her as more like a fundfinder and also um I was on a call that she was um that her and her counterpart led last week um she really knows a thought about the state budget and what that and just like kind of some insight and things that she has seen over the years and ways that she can
029attempt to predict kind of what some of that's going to look like. So really looking forward to that coaching session. FCDF is um and I believe that there's talk about maybe seeing about her getting in front of our superintendent and treasures potentially too because she's got a real good grip on uh the state funding when it comes to school funing which you know All of our associations obviously do a good job um providing us with that information, but I think it's just the more we hear it and the more we hear how it impacts um our communities. It's about our school, but really it's about our communities and if we don't have strong schools, what does that look like? And so she's um really excited about having that opportunity. So, um, in addition to that,
030um, I will say that during the FCDF meeting, the village gave us another update on more grant funds that they continue to get. Um, they have been awarded, I'll call it a continuation of the streetscape. So, it'll um, basically be from the center of town to the car wash. So, be looking at sidewalks, light poles, etc. I think there's some conversation around um the way that the electricity is tied to houses. They'd love to have it all be underground um but not sure if that's going to be possible. So, they're working on that with a so right now there's great funding for a sidewalk project out by Paul's neck of the woods out there's Trugal Circle. We've got paving um in in town. We've got the bridge enhancement and now this is another over a
031million dollar um project. So, those are ODOT projects. Yes, it's grant dollars, but like I've said many times, I don't know that we want those grant dollars going to other communities. Not that we don't love other communities around us, but um our village has done a really good job capturing and they just keep asking. We get told no and but their hit rate's pretty good and they just keep going after it. So, um those are projects that'll be anywhere from 26 to 27 into 28. So, >> I believe Sanduski >> Yes. sidewalks as well. >> Okay. >> Much needed. >> Yes. Yeah. So, that's good. I mean, again, it all ties back to, you know, safe. >> You know, we don't have a bike path. I call a walking path. Don't tell anybody said that
032while I'm on on recording saying that, but um you know, having good sidewalks to be able to get, they're talking about a sidewalk project from um Sman area over to Acriman, which would then at least let people ride their bikes like over to Acriman. And so just making sure that that's which is pretty cool that we've got those opportunities. Um Jim Blanchard reported that the Fourth of July festivities was a success and well attended and he also reported out that Acriman is still work in progress. That walking path that'll go all the way around accessible with an accessible bird blind is um in the works and Cosing has put a ton of volunteer time and effort towards that. So, we did get or I should say the parks and reccks got about $250,000 from the
033state money in the previous budget. So, that's a good thing. Um, Chief Tracy shared that um there's going to be the Frederick Town's National Night Out Celebration. I meant to bring that flyer for all of you and I forgot. Um, but Tuesday, August 5th at Marin Park, there's going to be music, food trucks, car show. Kind of a great event for families to get to know law enforcement, first responders. If available, they'll be doing all the things like the fire trucks and the police cars and the uh helicopter and all the things that are fun for the kiddos and families to see. >> August 5th. Tuesday, August 5th. Yes. And that's over at Marin. Um, and then I would just encourage you to continue to check out the FCDF Facebook page for upcoming events um
034for Saturdays with our vendors market and farmers market and and all of those those items. So, okay, I will I'll zip it. That's all I have for my Mr. Bellman. >> We didn't we didn't meet in June. Um, our next meeting is next week for >> work. Okay. >> So, I don't have anything. >> It is summer. Y >> I mean people work in the summer but >> you know >> they do. >> Okay. >> Policy liaison. Mr. Fal and Mr. Napier. You guys are on for what? September. >> September. >> Okay. Oh, here she comes. My turn. >> It's Shel's turn. Get your pen and paper out, everybody. Just kidding. Uh legislative. Uh yes. Now, >> what's that? >> Just send us that PDF. >> Is that what you want? Are you gonna read
035it if I send it? >> Yeah. >> Um, >> it's a lot of notes. >> It is. Okay. So, I think everyone knows House Bill 96 was finally passed by the general assembly um and signed by Governor DeWine um not without issuing several or a number of line item vetos. Uh several of those line it in vetos were um for items that were related to education and school funding. Um so just a quick summary of those. There was a veto on the cash balance carryover restriction on the changes to the 20 mil floor calculation uh on the elimination of fixed sum levies and there was a partial line item veto on the county budget commission authority which um would have given them the authority to reduce millage on voter approved levies. Um there was also
036line vetos on the provision that would have made schoolboard elections partisan. Um and then also on the restrictions pertaining to the STS and SCS employee contributions. Um legislators uh can override those vetos any of those vetos with the three-fifths override vote in both chambers at any time between now and the end of the two-year legislative session. So they have until the end of December uh to veto any of those lane items. So um that's a possibility especially since there's a session scheduled already for the 21st of July uh for um the general assembly to consider vetos on the following. There might be more than this but these are the ones that concern us. um the county budget commission authority, uh the 20 mil floor calculation and the elimination of the fixed sum levies um in
037particular. Um so we'll see how how that proceeds. Um other pending bills uh currently um there are a few that are uh kind of progressing at this point. A lot of them stalled out for a while because they've kind of been rolled into this hospital 96 and These vetos have been issued. They're starting to pick up some steam again. So, a lot of them deal with property tax reform. Um the first one's House Bill 335. We've talked about that one in previous meetings. It's in play um in the House uh Ways and Means uh committee currently. Um it's also called the Property Tax Relief Act now package. Um so it it contains provisions that would eliminate inside millillage. Um that would have a direct negative effect on funding to school districts. Uh changes the 20
038mil floor calculation um to include emergency and substitute levies that would raise a lot of districts off the floor that are currently on the floor. Um and it caps revenue growth for school districts at the rate of inflation. Um there's also House Bill 365. That one was recently introduced uh called the property tax refund act which authorizes a refundable income tax credit for homeowners and renters whose property taxes or a portion of their rent exceed 5% of their income. Um so you'll note there's lots of overlap between some of these bills and some of the vetoed line items from the state budget. Um, so in addition to those bills that I just mentioned, there's several other bills and various seats of consideration that also overlap with some of those vetoed items. Um, they include additional
039property tax reform proposals, changes to the school funding calculation. Also, there's a bill still floating around out there that includes the parties of school board elections. So, that one hasn't gone away yet either. Um, you know, some relief, I guess, from the state budget concerns with the vetos that were issued. Uh there's still lots of things to keep watching. Um I think it's pretty safe to say that we're going to see some property tax reform happen. Um just don't know exactly what that's going to look like yet at this point or what that. So I'm sure there's more to come. Um that's it for me. >> Yes. So, >> can you remind me if there's a working committee for property tax stuff? >> The I when the governor when the governor issued his veto on
040some of that, I think that was what in his comments >> he said that he was going to establish the committee, but I don't I don't know. Right now, I think the general assembly is actually in recess other than when they're calling these like So I think they're technically recessed until September, right? Which is why them coming back is kind of and just I've learned continue to learn. So they so this now will go to go back to the house. So on July 21st the overrides the three things that they've listed that they want to override go to the house. And if they go out of the house then they go to the senate. But the senate can't add. So like you know when we were going through the budget process they could add and
041change and whatever. So those things have been determined that they'll go to the Senate and then they have to override them. It's like three fifths which looks like potentially with the way if you know everybody that's an R votes to override then they'll they will those vetos will be override overridden. Um, so anyways, but yes, there's it sounds like the some of the property tax stuff is the legislators trying to kind of combat um there being a real movement for no property tax in the state. And so they're like, listen, we've got to find relief somewhere or this could end up on our ballot in November. November. Yeah, November. um to potentially put in front of all of our our state registered voters to have their property tax. I don't know what that could that
042could be devastating to the states. I think they're trying to give some sort of relief. Um and they thought that by putting it in the budget bill, they could get that relief sooner. Like if they've got it in a separate these separate bills, that that process will most likely take longer. And so anyways, it's just a whole it's process. Um but like Shel had mentioned, a lot of those um things that got vetoed, they have individual bills that they'll still be trying to push through some objectives and whatnot. >> It's interesting. >> Thanks, >> Awesome. >> Okay. Um moving on. Oh, finance. Mr. Folk and I are on finance and we will have our next Heather or the treasures have a new time frame that was also part of the bianial budget and so we'll
043be having it was good that we ended up on that board prep because in August we'll have a finance meeting because she has to submit forecasts and stuff now in October >> October 15th but we want to have we just talking about that today we want to have that presented to you for approval forecast in September September.
