Eagle County Schools Board of Education Meeting June 24th, 2020

001I'd like to call this meeting to order and I want all of you to turn off your mute buttons and stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance with me because I don't want to do it alone ready so the first thing is we need someone we need to approve this consent agenda I move that we approve the consent agenda Missy you're very very soft mr. nando sorry cuz they don't he didn't hear me say but for an under once I thank you can you hear me better now only a little bit okay I'm not sure what's wrong here but thank you for letting me know I'll continue to work on it Kelly alter kelly alter I Shelly Jarno Billie Jo i Ted long dead long i Michele Stecher Michele Stecker I Lucille of T

002bar Kunis you see Lautenberg kunas ID thank you motion passes six zero Shelly I think your your muted Shelly so we'll need you to alright so the next thing is public participation submitted so do you have copies of those Michelle I do okay I will begin with our first letter and we have our three minute timekeeper being tracked at the boardroom I'm sorry first letter begins hi there I would like to submit public comment on kovat protocols that are being discussed during tonight's Eagle County School Board meeting my name is Kim slipper and I live in Vail Colorado I completely understand the necessity of individualized lunches for students so that kids and staff can avoid unnecessary contact with each other however I would strongly caution against using single-use items that are made from styrofoam and

003would strongly encourage the school district to look at healthier and more environmentally friendly food packaging styrofoam has a large number of health risks associated with hot food and chemical leaching and I believe the risk is too great to expose that number of kids to in addition styrofoam used for food containers cannot be recycled and we'll all end up in a landfill that is a huge amount of waste that is completely avoidable heading to the landfill directly from the school district Vindico Courtney's school district is a partner in the climate action collaborative for the Eagle County community therefore I believe it is of paramount importance that the school district evaluate all options for school lunches and try as best as they can to find a solution that helps cut back on waste while educating kids on

004keeping staff safe the climate action collaborative has a goal to divert 30 percent of our community's waste away from the landfill by 2030 and that goal is going to be difficult to achieve every partner in the collaborative needs to be doing their best part doing their part to ensure the climate goals of our community are realized especially important is this job is to educate our future community leaders and who has a huge impact on the amount of waste that is generated within the schools the district took a huge leadership step in the right direction last year by higher the first sustainability manager for the district and launching a waste reduction grant program in every Eagle County school moving to styrofoam disposable containers six months later would be an incredible step in the wrong direction the

005district continues to have an opportunity to be a community leader in helping us realize our waste diversion goals with the right planning and community partnerships my suggestions to avoid styrofoam are as follows one reusable trays with compostable plates I recognize this would be a large investment from the district but the trays would be reusable able to be washed and reused able to be handled with gloves for safe handling and would be the way to eliminate waste or number two use compostable non plastic containers for food in addition the schools would need to ensure they all have composting service so the containers and food waste do not end up in the landfill thank you for your consideration I appreciate the opportunity to provide public comment and I hope the school district can make a decision for

006the 2021 school year that both protects the health and safety of our kids and staff as well as the environment again this is from Kim's supper and then our second letter reads and this is from Wendy Rimel I would like to quickly share some comments after the board of education conversation regarding the renewal of 3a effect would be working on what does it mean to be a public education voter right now we would know it means for statewide initiatives YES on 271 FairTax Colorado YES on repealing Gallagher there could be a vaping tax for education which may be a yes and locally yes on 3a if you vote to put it on the ballot there will be noes also for which will advise as soon as we know more regarding the sunset the best information

007is from our local community and the March poll and the big selling point in how the language begins as no new taxes even an unofficial poll closer to the election put on by effect could give us information not totally valid but better than another community's experience and that was Wendy Rimel okay thanks so moving on we have the superintendent report from Phil Coleman thanks mr. Arno I'll ask if Joanne can put that report on the screen from the boardroom or should I present from here Joanne what works perfect all right we can go ahead and go to the second second slide there all right let's start with the legislative update as you're well aware the legislature finished their session mid-june which is a good three or four weeks after they usually complete the session so

008just to provide some high elevation summary items overall there was a shortfall in IDI spending to the tune of 3.3 billion dollars the significant portion of that came from an increase in the budget stabilization factor this year of over five hundred million dollars so next year we'll see a budget stabilization of 1.12 billion in public ed that nearly doubled the negative factor or budget stabilization factor from this school year so in other words amendment 23 to the state constitution says that schools will be funded at a certain amount of money and and and that's what it takes to run schools in a satisfactory meaningful way but what this legislature has figured out is that they can drill a hole in the bottom of that bucket and take money out of the bottom of it through

009what they call the negative factor or the budget stabilization factor and what they'll do next year is to remove 1.12 billion dollars from that budget which will then have to carry and figure out how to sort out at the state or at the school level at districts around the state so it was it was a tough session for us we do see some efforts on the horizon to increase the revenue at the state level which would it help mitigate that budget stabilization factor I think key among those are FairTax 271 so with petitions still in play we're hopeful that 271 will end up on the ballot in November and then Colorado voters can express their opinion on whether or not we should have a more differentiated income tax taxes the that was that higher income

010rate at higher than the lower income rate that would generate a lot of revenue there's also going to be a repeal of Gallagher on the ballot for November that could also generate additional revenue at the local level from property taxes we did see a nicotine tax passed at the state level which I think follows what we've done here both with some of our municipalities in Eagle County as well as the county in general so we were they were ahead of the curve on that and we'll see some additional revenue coming from from nicotine tax from the state our big concern though about budgeting moving forward is that next year we anticipate the challenges to get even worse this year we were able to offset some of the losses with dollars from the cares act or

011the gears act various relief funds that were set up specifically related to Cove it but we don't see those relief packages lasting for two or three years so we know that the restrictions that Tabor imposes on our on our budget will make it difficult for us to recover from this overtime so year to year three as we learn from the recession that we just passed through a decade ago it will take a long time for Colorado to come out of this outside of the budget there were a couple of other changes that the board should be aware of the state did remove high school social studies testing from the CMOS testing regimen so we won't see that for high school students anymore as you're well aware they have allowed for electronic meetings for Boards of

012Education pursuit participating in right now and they've also ordered that no SAT or a CT scores end up on transcripts or for our high school students so those are some of the key highlights related to education and then I also wanted to switch gears here and talk about an equity update in the last several weeks civil unrest political activity commentators and pundits and activists around the country talking about racism talking about equity talking about equality and in light of all those conversations I wanted to just take a moment to point out some of the concrete things that have happened in the last couple of weeks that I think have they been significant on our system and and significant to our work the Supreme Court we don't talk about very much in our typical meetings but

013they've got two rulings in the last two weeks that I think are really important the first one was that they overturned the Trump administration's suspension of daca that's the deferred action for childhood arrivals in a vote of five to four which came as a huge surprise to a lot of folks they've overturned that that suspension of daca allowing a lot of our students who were brought here as children the ability to stay and deferred the formant allow them to stay in school and get jobs those students are called dreamers we've been pursuing the DREAM Act for many years and a non decision by the executive branch to overturn daca was devastating to a lot of our local families but this has been encouraging news it doesn't mean that daca is safe forever it really just

014means that the decision that the administration took to end it as in the Supreme Court's words were arbitrary and capricious so in other words they did not do due process in how they filed for that to to end and there's limited time for them to do so before the November election so we have a lot of happy dreamers in our community and happy executors that get to work with those students I think the second Supreme Court ruling that's important for us is that in a six to three decision the Supreme Court upheld protections for non-binary because of gender or gender identity or sexuality protections against discrimination in the workplace this is this is huge for for many many years folks who are gay or or bi or transgender could lose their jobs and there was

015little protection at the federal level against that so with those changes from the Supreme Court also the prohibition of use of the Confederate flag in places like NASCAR or Marine Barracks and the removal of some Confederate war monuments all these things happening around us I think are important I think we need to understand what what that means for us as a school district I think we're in a time of national awakening I think we're at a time of understanding that it's good to be reflective it's good to be sensitive it's good to have environments that are inclusive and and this culture will shift this societal change is something that we've been pursuing here in Eagle County for the last year and a half when we made equity our priority I think we demonstrated that we're

016on the vanguard of this movement that we put our money where our mouth is we put our policies and practices where our strategic plan is and we do everything that we can to provide respectful inclusive environments for kids and staff and parents we're having tough conversations we started those last year well how those conversations are around the race around gender identity around religion ethnic identity and our purpose in is understanding that through those tough conversations we learn more about each other and we grow and we increase our sensitivity so I are very proud to be a part of your County School District proud that equity is one of our key priorities and that we'll continue to pursue that into next year next item on the list is planning for the school year so we've already

017reviewed data earlier in this meeting from staff survey and then Thursday and Friday I'll be meeting with other community members and parents to address their questions and concerns about the school year so as I shared with you in in the board session and I'll share with our general audience right now that we hope have draft documents prepared for the board to review for the July 8th meaning and after we take comment and concern and questions from the board and we revise those documents and should have them in a position to distribute publicly the week of July 13th so I am thankful for the patience of our community and and their feedback and their their involvement in this process because without their without their comments and questions and engagement we wouldn't know what the values are

018of this community as relates to education so so thank you for being engaged and if we could skip to the next slide slide 3 I want to demonstrate let's see here this is okay this is an old version I'm gonna read for you a slide that I have in my version and it's real simple it's the Facebook post of the week I don't usually talk about Facebook but I thought this was an important one for you to hear so you don't see it in my notes but I'll read it to you it's a Facebook post and it says as our leaders begin to plan for what school will look like in the near future pray for them if school starts normally people will be angry if school starts with restrictions people will be angry if

019we wear masks people will be angry if we don't wear masks people will be angry if student sports are canceled people will be angry the student sports are allowed to continue without spectators people will be angry if we have a staggered start ton continue distant learning or a combination of both people will be angry our leaders are in a lose-lose situation the choices they make over the next few weeks and months are completely uncharted territory for them they are doing the best they can with the things they are told pray for them show them grace have sympathy stay positive now that that resonated with me and all the professionals that I work with they saw hundreds of happy faces and hearts on on that particular post because that's exactly how a lot of us are

020feeling okay so then the last slide as you see on your screen there be MHS u.s. News best high school this is an exciting Easter report in recent years we have had a high school that has been on this US News and World Report best list of high schools in its single Valley High School they've done a tremendous job in the last few years of showing just how high quality their program is and and this year I'm proud to announce the Battle Mountain High School has made the list and this is based on five factors college readiness in other words how many AP courses are being taken and are being passed at the school what's the math and reading proficiency and performance also how our underserved students performing so that would be for minority or

021low-income students and also the the breadth of college curriculum which they count as the variety of advanced placement classes and also graduation rate so with those six factors a Battle Mountain has broken into this list of best high school so I encourage you to visit the website for US News and World Report and you can see the specific data on that so that's exciting also negotiations did want to just celebrate that we have an excellent agreement that it's good for students it's good for teachers and it's good for the long-term financial health of the district and we'll provide details about that a little bit later on I did want to comment that the search for the missing Vigo County Schools student the young three year old boy from evil continues in the river with with

022local law enforcement so our hopes and prayers continue with that family and with law enforcement as they continue to search for that young boy and that concludes my report thank you okay moving on to board reports we'll start with Fernando Almanza hi thank you for my full report this week they'll have a lot in the reason is I was sick last week and I'm just used the last week to come back to work and they've been on it for a week now so I'm starting to get my energy back and and everything but yeah sorry I missed the the previous meeting other than that we are working still with chef Han injure and Mark Wentworth with the communication sending the police chief they're really focusing on our well-being a matter of mental health and with

023all this happening within the in the news and in reference to law enforcement they're really focusing on our well-being as far as everything else then just keep going but I don't have as much of our report that's all thank you okay moving on to kelly alter hi usually mr. Han's was tough to follow up i have absolutely nothing to report this week to summer vacation sort of and Jenny with my own personal family and trying to get our life situated and next fall organized so that is it for me okay and I think I am next so I attended the walking mountains board meeting last Thursday a few exciting things that are going on there they're continuing with work are finishing up employee housing units and those will allow Rocky Mountains to increase capacity and

024and host more of our students in the future they're also we're moving forward with some improvements at the Sweetwater property which will help make it easier for some of our gypsum and down valley schools to more quickly and easily get to some of their programs down that direction they are continuing with summer camp or they have Reece they have started summer camps they are a little smaller and you know there are definitely social distancing issues and things in place but they are moving forward with camps so that's kind of walking mountains also Friday and Saturday it's ended the Cosby board meeting online and they are definitely financially no if I could I would say struggling they had been in some deficit spending under a previous executive director and when they switched executive directors that sort

025of came to light and it's it's significant and we're working hard to remain to maintain the services that they provide while at the same time dramatically cutting expenses you're you may be most interested in the Broadmoor and it sounds like that will happen it may be mixed where some people go in person and there's also an online option they have a commitment to the Broadmoor who's being somewhat flexible but not they can't get out of there out of all of their commitment to hold that conference so we'll see how that moves forward but it sounds like there will be some version that will happen in December other than that I have been involved in lunch distribution and let's see I had a question for Phil do you think that now that they've opened more spaces

026it's important for us to attend the safe and resilient schools mental health program or do you think that's not really something that we need to worry about I think if that content is of interest to you that you certainly could I just recently signed up myself to familiarize myself with the content and and programming because I think it will play an important role and what the district is doing next year on the social emotional side of welcoming kids and students back into classrooms so you know at the time and it's of interest I think it's a good idea okay and just to the other board members there was an email that just went out so if you are interested check and then my only other question or I think that I wanted to bring up

027with Phil had mentioned the equity issues and with what's going on in our country today and I know that some boards have moved forward with a resolution in support of sort of their actions that they will be taking and wondered if that's something that we want to think about and also I hesitate the whole we put our money where our mouth is I agree that we have invested heavily in equity and in teaching our staff and I think that's great but I am Not sure that I will believe that we are putting our money where our mouth is until we see the demographics of ICI see a change and I think that situation is exactly indicative of what these problems are with systemic racism so that's my two cents so moving on I think next

028is Ted lon yes thank you my family and I have been trying to get kind of more back to normal what we consider to be normal anyway so we've been we've been trying to go out and support the local restaurants we've been we did go see a movie and it was it was a little surreal you know they have a lot of the a lot of the seats are taped off or whatever but it was it was good to get out and and support our local businesses for sure through the college and we've been working closely with Rocky Mountain Science Center so we do have a internship with them so that the students and I believe they have seven students at the walking Mountain Science Center who are doing in an outdoor internship for six

029weeks in the summer and because they were able to work closely with the college those students will be able to get three credits towards an environmental science degree there was a lot of Hoops to jump through mostly having a plan of action that would insure us and then we sent that plan of action on to the state saying that we'll follow these you know health restrictions health guidelines the only other thing I'd like to report was I took part in a mmm a search committee to find a new full-time math faculty who is mostly going to be teaching a dual enrollment classes at Eagle Valley High School probably 75 80 percent of their job responsibilities will be teaching dual enrollment math Inigo Valley High School and then they'll teach one or two courses depending on

030their load at the high school they'll be teaching one or two courses at the CMC and Edwards in the fall and we did find someone and they're going to be starting real soon I think they're getting ready to make the big announcement but we have a full-time faculty member whose outstanding she's gonna serve our students very well we think and that's a part of the collaboration that the college has with with the with the School District as well I didn't I didn't I've been paying attention to what's happening at the national level with you know the Floyd issues and also all the other issues that the koban has brought out and that just some of the issues with systemic racism my family is going to watch the movie 13 tomorrow I don't know if you've

031seen it or not but it's a I believe it's on Netflix but it was an outstanding outstanding movie it talks a lot about the systemic racism in our society and a very eye-opening and also very uh kind of almost humbling to think you know that these things have been going on for such a long time I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree a little bit with Shelly on I don't I don't think my opinion EC CA is not an example of systemic racism I know that we disagree on that for a lot of different reasons being there and having a tour and being at the board meeting and talking with the people the leadership there it seems like there's something else going on I don't I I know that the statistics are not great but I

032think that I don't think there's any I don't my opinion I don't think there's any systemic profiling going on and allowing students in for the color of their skin I just don't think that's happening at ACCA so that's my opinion about that thank you okay Michelle sticker um so since our last board meeting I got to tend to of the Eagle Valley behavioral health community conversations with a couple of goals from Eagle Valley behavioral health and hosting those to start resuming some in-person community connection which has been really valuable to obtain some updates from the medical field on Co vid and trends and projections here in our community and then to support local businesses who host them I went to both of those primarily with my Mountain youth hat on and while there people are

033way more interested in what's going on with the school district so was happy to be able to pass on information around our conversations and processes and really use that as an opportunity to encourage people to get involved via public comment or the events going on tomorrow and Friday night I've also been helping lead with a handful of community partners and school district staff planning for rolling out social-emotional learning programming again there's about a half a dozen community partners mostly nonprofits that have been providing this type of programming and we've been really working hard over the years and are eager to to grow upon that with more of a unified consistent set of programming for all of our schools starting when school starts also through Mountain Youth have been working on summer opportunities for young people

034starting to do some of those in-person we have a big event we've just started announcing July 12th which will be a hybrid a limited number of in-person attendees by Nottingham in Avon and then you can join virtually as well and the whole theme of that is arts and creativity as a way to cope and overcome boss and helped manage depression and other challenges it's really excited about that I have been participating in the safe and resilient schools course and just to offer a bit of clarification my understanding is the course has always been open and three free through the University of Colorado so there's not a cap from CU on anyone that wants to participate so the messages we're seeing from the school district with increased slots is more funding for in financial incentives for

035school district staff to participate so I would definitely encourage anybody that's interested in learning more about trauma and supporting students to partake I'm about halfway through and a lot of the topics are around mental health stigmas are our bias reactions to certain situations and then tying in to some of the social justice aspects you know very timely there are components on racial prejudice gender identity and sexuality so strongly recommended beyond all of the educators and school districts staff that are taking it there's about two dozen prevention partners and so we're all really excited to be taking it to have that common learning common language and Mountain youth is meeting weekly kind of debriefing on a module a week and have invited all the community partners to join and it's been great to have representation from

036the Hope Center and just have some conversations around how this content applies in our community in our schools June being Pride Month I have been happy to be able to help support and spread the word about a couple of events going on to support the LGBTQ community there's a story time that the bookworm is hosting virtually on Saturday with a children's book as well as a March going on on Saturday and then piggybacking off of Shelly's report with walking mountains I've gotten the serve on this youth programs prevention and education task force that convenes frequently and talks about providers resuming programming and so it's been really interesting to be a of those conversations around safety protocols and restrictions personally our family has I'm really grateful been able to find a couple spots for our kids

037to partake in camps through Bell recreation and mountain recreation and I've been just so impressed with their safety protocols and what they're doing creatively to engage students since this doesn't look like a typical summer for them so thank you to all the providers that are figuring that herd puzzle out and trying to open their doors and then lastly on the social justice and I did get to watch that 13 film it was really thought-provoking and I think even more than that been trying to figure out having these conversations effectively with my kids there are five and six years old so we've been able to find some children's books and literature and films out there that are appropriate for them and it's just been so interesting to hear the questions they ask and the thoughts that

038they have and trying to have those conversations early on that's everything from my end Lou T bar Kunis yeah I'm really quiet around here I don't really have a report just spending time with the kids we've been camping and trying to keep them entertaining and happy I just want to take the opportunity to thank to all the community members that have been um sending emails with our input I appreciate that and I read all of them and also to everybody that has reach our reach out to me personally to thank me for everything we're doing for everyone and the positive reinforcement so um yeah that's it all right we've been on to all new and old business looks like the topics for the July meeting our review of the revisit of the strategic plan the

039facility master plan housing master plan 3 a renewal decision will be finalized in early childhood at start end of year report and approval of designated election official and intent to participate as well as authorizing Eagle County Schools participation in the state interest-free loan program does anyone else have oh end we have added a CO vid topic but and I also mean Phil had mentioned that at that point they will come to us with sort of what the current plan is so that should be on there but does anyone else have other things that we should add to the next meeting I'd like to think that I've read a lot about in the newspapers and I've seen even myself having my two boys who go to battle Mountain and also some emails that have come in

040recently because of in the classroom the there were some even in previous meetings that parents were posting you know emails to us about how can we keep the accountability up in the classrooms when they're in a hybrid and I I would like to know you know what in the college environment establishing rigors is complicated but it can be done and I'm interested in knowing how we know our courses are rigorous how we when we compare you know different schools even in our own School District are we comparing apples to apples so I'd like to be able to have a discussion about what is rigor mean to us how do we establish it you know when there's a problem with rigor how do we solve it what are the things in place to solve it and

041be able to answer some of the questions that we're getting from the communities about how do we keep you know that the the classroom accountable and make sure that the students are getting the the learning outcomes that we're saying that they're getting so it's a huge huge question I know but I'd like to get some answers for people and the answers for myself as well and another update I would really appreciate and I am a little bit indifferent on whether it falls within the board meeting agenda or just to be a weekly updates or communications from the superintendent but I'm curious about conversations with law enforcement about school resource officers presence I understood that we were trying to solicit some input from students on their perceptions and preferences and just really curious where that stands

042and similarly I just really enjoyed earlier in our work session getting to hear directly from a few students that are involved in Career X so with any topics that we have on future agendas if it's ever possible to have a student or a parent be able to join whoever the district staff lead it is on certain topics I think that's so helpful for us to get that personal insight anything else for the next meeting okay moving on to the approval of revisions to administrative policies DB adopted budgets and DB D determination of budget priorities and I'll turn it over to sandy Mutchler and this is an action item hi good evening everyone before we get too far into the adopted budget and our financial plan for next year we wanted to talk a little bit

043about policy DB and DVD but both of these policies contain language about what the board does as far as requirement of our bones to be held in our fund balance and so I'm currently it does state that the amount needs to be maintaining a general fund balance amounting to 10% of the district's current fiscal year adopted budget or 10 million whichever is greater at fiscal year n and currently our practice has been that this has been outside of the amount required by Tabor which is the taxpayer Bill of Rights and with the impact that we're having on the economic reduction from the state on our funding that we're recommending that the policies be changed to go back to where the 10% includes the Tabor portion what this does is it frees up some fund balance

044dollars for us to kind of sustain over the next couple of years to get through the reduction in revenue on policy DB we also added some additional stuff for best practices and I'm going to share my screen real quick and share those changes with you and I do apologize I'm kind of set up a little bit differently tonight so I'll have to kinda toggle back and forth but if you have any questions go ahead and interrupt and I'll see if I can answer those but this is policy DB in our annual budget and it talks about a three-year budget plan and so we've added anything in red to the policy as a recommendation for board approval and this first statement here if the budget plan does not depict a positive operating position in all three

045years the district will strive to balance the operating budget for all the years included and this is something that we do anyway it's just defining it within our policy to show that that's the practice we're using now the same philosophy goes for the balanced budget requirement which is this next section and this also is something that we already do but our what we're doing is just reflecting those practices within our budget there's part about one-time uses will be defined as expenditures so one thing that the we'll be asked to do tonight is also approve a resolution about spending into our fund balance and what those purposes are for so again this just reflects our current practices and is being added to our policy under the budget process you can see another statement added here that

046says that the district shall review programs annually to identify programs and services that are not cost effective this also is something that we do on a regular basis and so we want to make sure that we define that and so that that's the expectation by the district then the one little piece that would be changed about the amount being reserved or held and reserved is taking out the not so that it will include the emergency reserve the recommendation would be that this is a temporary fix if we wouldn't have been having the policy the way we did we would have these funds available at this time to support us through these times so recommending that those go ahead and be used at this point and then this last paragraph is something that we also would

047like to have added to the policy where we establish a system for assessing assets into appropriately plan a budget for any capital maintenance and replacement needs we do a complete inventory we have that on record and we have our facility master plan so this area again we have plans in place to allow us to to follow this practice and keep those practices in place all we're doing is adding it to our pulp policy so that other people understand that we actually do that practice any questions about Posey DB I have a just to make sure I understand what's that what's but you're asking us to do it seems is it accurate to say that we had kind of two reserve pots there was the one that was required by the Colorado Constitution and then there

048was also the 10% that we just kind of did beyond what the Colorado Constitution says so there was two of those before and you're asking us to merge those together yes so wait by state law we're only required to reserve the tabor amount but for financial stability and breakfest practices most districts in addition to that 3% have a required balance or percentage of balance that they have and so you have some flexibility with that as you move forward in and the district just said that since pretty much the last recession wanting to make sure that we have a fund balance available or poor economic times so we're gonna go from the 3% emergency reserve plus what we used to have which was a 10% kind of different district reserve we're gonna go down to just

049a 3% it would be closer to say like a 7% of the unassigned so if you take the 7% plus the 3% of Tabor you would have a total of 10 percent okay ed up 13 okay I understand yeah okay so with policy DVD the changes within that are really minut the only change in that is to take the word not out so that it mirrors the same language and policy DB so those would be the changes that I'm you guys would be voting on tonight the adopted budget is built on those premises that the policy would be supported in that way to allow us to use portions of our fund balance to sustain through the next couple years so that's why we wanted to make sure we voted on the policy part first there

050are there other questions for Sandy to have a motion I'll move to approve administrative policy revisions DB adopted budget and DVD determination of budget priorities second Missy no mr. Almanza Kelly alter I know Shelley Jarno eye doctor dr. long I Michelle's Tucker I you'll see let ivar Kunis eye okay moving on - sorry it seems like these are listed as approval of the 2020 21 adopted budget okay I just said seen the asterisks and was confused that it was consent but obviously it's not so I'll hand it back to Sandy again and again this is an action item so I did turn my camera off to make sure that you had the ability to see the entire screen on the budget so again all pause if you have questions interrupt and we'll see if we

051can get those answered but as Chile mentioned this is an action item and it is the presentation of our 2021 adopted budget and just before we get really into the numbers just a reminder of what our focus is on and what our budget is built on so we have our strategic plan which includes the equity and you can see the different priorities we have there that we were going to continue to focus on and then our budget is built on I'm not going to go into detail on that lease it is in your packet and available on the board dock so I'm going to go through them quickly other priorities identified under multilingual education and the related priorities around that we also have MTS s multi-tiered symptoms of system of supports which is being used

052heavily throughout this past year and going into next year with also the priorities identified for that and then math where we have our purpose in our mission to tied to that and what our vision is for our students and the related prior so as we go through this please keep in mind that the the budget is built around our strategic plan as it continues to be so some of the areas where we needed to make reductions we did it in a way to keep those as our priority and the forefront of our financial plan as a Phil mentioned earlier in his opening comments around the school finance act and the financial impact of the district we'll go into that a little bit but they did finalize it June 12th which was very grateful that they

053did by then and then it didn't take any longer than that but the biggest impact to us and across the state was that increased to the budget stabilization factor and we're talking about an increase to the budget stabilization factor that's not a good thing in any way whatsoever especially when you look at the impact of it across since 2009-10 so across the years we go for 2019-20 this career our reduction of income from the state when it was down 4.6 million dollars and as was mentioned it more than doubled so now we have lost nine point six million dollars of funding that the district should be receiving and when you look at that over time it's seventy five point nine million dollars since the last recession that occurred and so this is this is a

054huge financial impact and this is where the support of local taxpayers for 3a has been a significant impact to offset that but as it still doesn't get us where we need to be when we were at our peak in 2013-14 which was actually four years after the recession last time of 8 million and so now we've not only worse than we were at the peak at that time we're greater than that so when we are building our budget it has been difficult and we continue to need that support of three a as we move forward when we take all this into consideration of that impact of the budget stabilization factor one of the other things that we look at is our enrollment and our enrollment impacts our funding because we're paid on a per pupil

055dollar amount and that's what the this pp R stands for off to the side and this slide really just shows you the difference between this current fiscal year we're in and what that would look like for next year um there is also a difference between the funded people count in the actual people count so some students it used to be like kindergarten were only funded part-time but we might have some high school students that only are enrolled part-time so we would get a partial funding for those students but you can see that the the difference that we have as far as our funding as a reduction of 56 students and as we've started the year of our budget processing we were initially at a reduction of 123 students that we would be funded on with

056the consolidation of Jun Creek in the way all of that worked out and some differences that principals have provided based on open enrollment that we believe that we would be down actually a hundred and nine students so that is a difference between the preliminary budget that we had so if we're gonna be down 109 students might be asking well how do you get to 56 and the difference between that is school districts are allowed to average their enrollment over the five year period whether it's the actual year they averaged over the last two years three four or five and because our enrollment was higher in the prior five years were able to average that so our funding is only reduced by a matter of 56 students and so what we really need to do is

057we go forward into our enrollment for next year is keep an eye on that number too because if our enrollment comes in less than what we anticipated our funding can be reduced to the well students that are enrolled so the October count is huge it impacts us financially and of course we want to make sure that we get as many of our students in our schools as possible so you do see the 56 students coming off the top then the other thing that the state did is they decided to fund us based on the school finance act are required to do the cost-of-living factor and that came out this year it's released in February and it was a 1.9 percent increase so when you take our PPR which is our per-pupil revenue from last year

058they added 1.9 percent to fund it and so we actually got 268 dollars in 10 cents more per student but since the state doesn't have enough revenue to actually not only pay for what we were getting last year and not be able to afford the cost of living that's when that budget Stabilization factor comes into play and you can see that at this nine point six million dollars right here which this little small number on the side is how much that is they actually withhold starting next year one thousand three hundred and seventy three dollars per pupil of funding that the district should have based on the school finance act as it said but since they withhold that it drops are funding down to eight thousand three hundred and twenty eight dollars per pupil this

059next amount you see here this is what they call CS I so it's Colorado that's the Charter School Institute and that would be the dollars that are withheld directly by the state for stone Creek and so those dollars remain at the state in the state distributes those the next reduction is actually three dollars and 34 cents for people for a total of twenty three thousand three hundred and sixty-seven dollars and this is a rescission that's been going on for a while not really talked about very much but reflecting it here so that you guys can see that it's that it is there and if the state economy doesn't pick up overtime quickly enough then the state can also come back in the middle of next year and add to that rescission because they don't have

060the dollars to fully fund beyond the budget stabilization factor so that is another area that we need to be cautious of as we go into next year to make sure that we're financially stable to withhold withstanding the rescission if it does happen but a lot it really just depends on the state economy but that leaves us with fifty five million eight hundred thirty two thousand just from the school finance act so the district gets dollars in addition to that for other items but this is the the school finance act only and this is generally the the funds that we talk about because it's the only piece that is done at a statewide level based on that formula the funding from for the school finance act comes from three different categories the first one local is

061your property tax revenues and it's set by mills that are generated by assessed value and that would be thirty seven point three million of Eagle County Schools comes from local property tax revenues then the other portion is also a local taxes specific ownership and that's due to the dollars that are provided through when you go to register your car and get your license plate eights so we get 2.1 million from that and then any dollars beyond that to get to this 55.8 is backfilled by state and that is the sixteen point two million and so regardless of what that is we would have the fifty five point eight and so the difference here it's just a three point nine million dollars less in state funding with the school finance act formula because some of those

062other losses go to the other charter schools so I'm gonna I'm gonna stop first I get here and see if anybody has any questions don't have necessarily a question but just an observation and and I think seeing the graph and just huge gap downwards to on that it just kind of things a picture of how we must look at things and the decisions that we have to make so I just wanted to point that out and that just kind of I don't know it caught my attention when I sat on the graph I know it's it's a little bit difficult for us to see it in in just in in paper and on numbers but when representing the graph I think it just made me realize that it's it's quite a lot Sadie Shelley did

063you have a question or comment I'm okay okay so I'm gonna jump back over here again mentioned that there were additional dollars that we get in addition to the school finance act one of those areas are what they call categorical programs the four main ones that we get are listed here and it shows the amount that we got from two thousand nineteen twenty two twenty twenty-one so in some areas the state did provide increases in those when they increase in these areas it reduces the dollars available overall for the state which leads to also be increased budget stabilization factor so it's really just moving money from one type of funding source to another but you can see that there's some small increases in additional state revenue for these various areas and when you look at

064the total amount for like special ed of 1.3 almost 1.4 million considering that we spent about seven million dollars a year that is what we call an unfunded mandate where you're required to provide services like you don't get the funding to meet those needs and then even like English language proficiency program there's additional dollars throughout tied to this but 408 and then only 65,000 for gifted and talented so none of the the funding sources really provide the resources necessary to support these various groups of students okay so now I'm going to jump into the numbers a lot more and so if you have questions again feel free to interrupt but we're gonna focus mostly on the general fund we'll talk about the revenue and expenditure assumptions tied to those and just keep in mind that

065the majority of the assumptions that are built into the general fund are also built into our other funds as we go through but I won't get into detail on all of those just to pull it out remind that we're decreasing by 109 students but when we look at the funding piece it's only 56 when we look at the impact of the budget stabilization factor it went from 7 point 1 3 percent total of 14 point two percent reduction in our funding you're also gonna see a huge reduction of our in our interest income as interest rates have dropped where it was actually prior producing some additional revenue for the district we really won't see that happening in future years for a while again but when we look at it overall we're looking at a total

066reduction of 3.8 million which is equivalent to a four and a half percent reduction overall in our revenues this just kind of shows you where the difference comes from so you have an increase of property tax collections and this is based on the SS values and the mill levies set to generate those dollars and then other reductions throughout the various programs with the largest one coming through the school fine in fact the 2.8 million plus the 466 thousand tied to enrollment reductions and then here's the the big loss in our interest income and that's how we get to the the 3.8 and these these areas are rounded into various groups just for ease and not to get into this by line item but 3.8 million reduction in revenues and we also provide you with all

067the expenditure assumption reductions we look at a big adjustment of our FTE due to decreased enrollment not only does it include the reduction of the 109 FTE but we also did not adjust for FTE formulas for this current year and held everybody harmless and kept their positions intact as we move forward into next year we've rewritten our our standard practices for that that instead of waiting until after the October account that we make those adjustments within a 10 day window of school starting because it's too hard to move staff around based on enrollment if you wait until after October and then we also had 4 FTE that was a sign through transition as a carryover through the fund balance and so it is a combination of all of those together we look at the overall

068reduction for 4 FTE tied to the Jun Creek consolidation it's a reduction of five hundred forty seven thousand tied to those specific positions where we were fortunate that we were able to place a majority I think almost everybody from do Creek into other positions in with the adjustments of enrollment at Edwards and Avon it wasn't the initial 700 because we had the enrollment to support that FTE there's adjustments made to overtime and extra duty accounts so this is done pretty much through every department and these do not include the school level ones these are amounts tied to the the district-wide departments so not any really dollars available for overtime or extra duty so those dollars need to be provided for through flexing people's schedules and making adjustments in that way without creating those additional costs

069we also had a district level position for math that was not filled last year was it the initial budget but as we were realigning all the departments that was a position that wasn't filled and it will not be filled for this next fiscal year either part of the negotiations agreement um through this past year that we agreed to add two additional contract days for the one year and we had dollars assigned to that in our fund balance to support that cost but it is the adjustment within our budget so we made those adjustments we also felt that it's important to provide the lane advancement for educational purposes on the teacher salary schedule so the estimate tied to that for salaries and benefits is seventy one thousand we also had agreed to move forward with funding

070the teacher leader FTE at the secondary level in the early childhood education so dollars related to that are also added into this year's budget we talked earlier about the 1.9 percent cost of living um so if we account for that adjustment based on the employee share of their para is actually going up one point two five percent and then our employee insurance were estimating to go up ten percent and so in order to have our staff remain constant without a financial reduction in their net pay we needed to provide a 1.9 percent cost of living and so that amount is reflected in this year's budget Pera also is going up on the employer side another half a percent so there are additional costs of 235 tied to that you also see the health insurance costs

071of the 10% and this is we have tied to the district share as well as not making an increase to the employee share so I guess that I should clarify that 1.9 percent of the employee insurances that portion is not included in that it's the course I'm tied to the district share of the 814 and and our liability unemployment workers comp insurance quotes I came back with an increase of 84,000 we also will need to keep an eye on our unemployment costs as they could continue to go up with changes in the economy also and that people that have not been able to be employed that we have to pay for then the controlable school allocation reductions this is a portion that was reduced at the base level by 20% to be able to cut

072back in some of the areas so that is the school allocation portion and we also have generally budget for spending of they carry over and since they carry over policy is being kicked in with the 10% available only to be carried over that no longer needs to be budgeted for because all those funds should be spent within this year and then we also budget for revenue and allowing us to appropriate dollars to be available to be spent based on the revenue that schools bring in for student fees and tuition portions and so with the estimate of that reduction of revenue being received we also reduced the expenditure side because if they don't get the revenue then they're not able to spend it so that reduction is shown there we also went through at the the

073district level and requested everybody to cut as much as they could around a 20% average across all of the district-wide departments some of them didn't quite hit 20% because wasn't enough in their budget to make any reductions or we have legal requirements to fulfill agreements that we have and so we came up with a total which just right under 20% at a district wide level to get down to almost 1.3 million dollars reductions in cost there the board approved at a prior board meeting the the Century Link agreement which reduce our cost by two hundred twenty-eight thousand and we kind of overestimated on our concurrent enrollment budget last year so we reduced that by a hundred thousand this year we also have a reduction in charter schools funding because theirs is also tied to the

074budget stabilization factors so that reduces the transfer that we make to the Eagle County Charter Academy and then based on our transfers to other funds were able to reduce in those areas to get a total reduction of 2.4 million so the differences need to come from the fund balance which is why you will also be asked to approve a fund balance reduction to get to the total reduction of what we're reducing our revenues by so that was a lot also there so any questions about the revenue or expenditure assumptions that are built into the budget does anybody else have a question so I just have a question if we're seeing indications that if we don't go back full-time or people are nervous about sending their kids I mean if you've just said I just took

075round numbers but if you took six thousand kids and said only 2% chose not to come back and I realize that they could do world Academy or something where we would still get the PPR but I mean that's 120 students so are we prepared for that what would happen if we lost 150 students or in addition to I mean the the enrollment that decrease that we're seeing is in here is just how many fewer kids we think are out there and not Kovan related so I guess I just I'm concerned that you know in six months we're looking at this and saying oh my gosh you know we're missing another 50 or 200 kids what would we do so what are the benefits that we have is we with the averaging that's allowed in the

076school finance Act we won't lose a hundred percent of our PBR per pupil so we have a little bit of a cushion there and then the students that would participate through world Academy online we would still get funding for those students the costs would just shifted in the other direction if we leave students prior to October 1 then we do lose funding for them but when we come back and make any of our staffing adjustments in within the first 10 days of school it should be a pretty big indicator of what we would expect the the rest of the year to look like and then any students that would move that we might lose after October 1 we retain the funding for them so it is something that we just have to continue to monitor

077and be prepared to be flexible and make adjustments as quickly and efficiently as we can ok thanks any other questions I'm going to jump back to the presentation then means you know in early October or whatever a few weeks after school begins does that mean if we end up having less students show up in making adjustments is it possible some teachers and without jobs if they are new contracts or what kind of staffing adjustments I mean you can move them from one building to another but what does it mean if we just had significantly less students so it would depend on their status as the teacher and where enrollment is so you're right we could move from one building to another and then we could make some of them into long-term substitutes and not have

078this substitute cost but if it was significant we would use need to follow our HR policies and make sure that we make the adjustments appropriately okay thanks okay okay so um the other part of the general fund assumptions is the fund balance and that is including Tabor over to keep it about ten percent over the next three years so that's the part of policy DVD and DB that was approved prior so the budget is built on that assumption also okay so looking at the general fund you have the history over prior years you have this year's budget in the 2019-20 column and then we have our 1928 estimated and then also next year's budget and then three years of forecasts across here so when we started I'm going to kind of go back and forth

079between the two slides but when we started our beginning fund balance this year we budgeted to start it at 18 million 113 and this is revised based on our audit so we have our budgeted revenue tied to that and as we look at our estimate you can see that we expect our beginning fund balance to stay where it is that our estimate would drop in revenue to 80 3.8 million and that is due to mostly the other revenue that would be collected through various school fees rebates anything like that but we have received and expect our the remaining of our property taxes that we're due to be collected at this point and so we're looking at that at eighty three point eight million then you can see their salaries and benefits are a little bit

080less than what we budgeted so this variance a lot of it comes from the reduction of not paying substitutes not doing extra duty and overtime and all of that so we have a little bit that's saved on our budget this year that can be added to our fund balance we have dollars in purchase services and this amount is highlighted in yellow for a reason our actual estimate is actually six million eight hundred and thirty eight but we're looking at what we can do to capture about three million dollars worth of expenditures tied to Kovan that can be attributed to the cares or - I'm sorry yet so the cares Act but under the the CRF funding and so the district is gonna receive about four million forty five thousand dollars from that of which over

081two hundred thousand goes to Eagle County Charter Academy so we keep the remainder of that and then we can attribute to any of the cost spent this year so this will leave us about eight hundred thousand dollars available for moving into the 2021 budget that we would have available to support kovat related expenditures and all of the CRS funding which we talked about in the preliminary budget has to be sent by December 31st of this year and so we need to attribute as many dollars as possible of it to expenditures that we have already had which allows us to use our other general fund sources to support us through the next fiscal year so that's why it's you're only seeing three point eight on this you can see other supplies and equipment of five million

082eighty-nine that really just is due to reducing our spending this year intentionally and looking at providing dollars to get us through the next year we have to this dollars here that show as expenses and transfer these go to Eagle County Charter Academy and it is their share of the school finance act and no levy dollars and then in c3a accounted for separately here so when we get through our total expenditures we're looking at a net change in our fund balance of 6 million 124 now I'm going to scroll down just to the next slide so you can see how that follows through into the fund balance where we budgeted to have this 252 in our fund balance and then we still need it to transfer out this 3 million 700 about what it is and

083we anticipated ending our fund balance with fourteen point six million dollars and then this portion is how it's broken out for our total and Ted you asked earlier about the amount that's reserved for this 2.6 million generally was excluded from our policy so excluding that from our policy left does at eleven point four one which was just a little bit above the ten percent requirement changing our policy actually puts us at the sixteen point five two percent if if we include taper that wasn't the case for our 2019 20 year um so we fell within our policy at this eleven point four one so I hope that shows that this amount here is the amount that we were talking about including so making those adjustments looking at our projections and you can see the difference

084here where we're estimating this six million 1:24 we still need to make our transfers out increases our fund balance by this twenty point three the big difference to keep in mind is when you look at the highlighted part here were estimating to be able to shift three million dollars of copán related expenditures to the grant fund and in doing so is what allows us to have a fund balance sufficient to get us through next year in making all of those expenditure assumptions that we did if we didn't have that amount the amount would be 17 million and in order to sustain through next year's budget we would have to make additional reductions so I'm gonna jump back up to the budget piece now or this column because the fund balance carries forward we still are

085anticipating a small increase in our property taxes and overall specific ownership where you see the big reduction is here in our state and federal revenue where it drops it from 23 down to 19 another huge drop in our interest income and our other revenue piece does show a small increase because we are anticipating hopefully to be able to still collect some of those additional revenues and so this numbers really based on an average of prior years so you can see this big job from eighty five point two million down to eighty one point four in revenue and when you look at the allocation overall it is a small increase in our salaries because of the additional days the teacher-leader portion and the 1.9 percent you'd also see in relationship to that increase in our benefits

086the increase in our purchased services this is more in line with what we have been spending as you can tell in the the prior two years we would have supplies and equipment and then the allocation to the Turnersville also shows a decrease and that's because of the reduction in the school finance act at this point we would then be reducing our fund balance by 1.7 million when you go down and then you still need to do the transfers out and you can see we've reduced those significantly to keep as little of an impact on the general fund as possible because that is where the majority of our salaries and benefits are paid out of it reduces our fund balance to fifteen point five million so overall drop um like 5.2 million it says see the

087percentages that that we're looking at overall so Taber does a small reduction because our overall expenditures are reducing our fund balance is reducing and then you see the significant drop here in our percentage of appropriation of the unassigned and then of the total and so these are within the policy as approved by you guys tonight and important that we keep it at this level for the 2021 year and the reason for that is when we start projecting out into our forecasting our fund balance drops we are looking at this is a 5% reduction in state funding so assuming that the recession and the the if it follows the same pattern as the 2008 nine recession that we would still see a five percent drop over the next couple of years so that's what the forecast

088takes into consideration in doing so you can also see that even with a 15 million dollar fund balances at the end of this year if we get a reduction in state revenue we will also have to do a reduction overall in our expenditures and keeping all other things pretty much consistent you can see that with 80% of our expenditures being related to staff whether it's a salary or benefit tied to that but the only way to get that type of reduction is to do it through salaries and benefits so the recommendation for the budget for the general fund is to build up to keep it follow the assumptions that we've built but to keep that fund balance around the 15 million so that our cuts are as minimal as possible in the next couple years

089because you also have this 5% reduction occurring in the 20 to 23 year the good thing is is that if the economy does recover we get a v-shape recovery and we don't have a 5% reduction then we'll be able to sustain one more year without having to reduce FTE overall that is not tied to staffing and enrollment so that means one of the things we were considering through the preliminary budget is we would have had to do furlough days or other reductions in order to get to the dollar and not needed and before I stop and give you an opportunity to ask questions I also wanted to point out this other highlighted area here where you can see our our other income the state and federal income and actually I have to say this was

090reduced out of the wrong number here it should have been taken out of here but this takes out the three a mill levy override and it would actually reduce our property tax and numbers not this one so we'll get that corrected but be the overall reduction you can see there is it's about a nine million dollar reduction because of that and in doing so without the 380 dollars moving forward you can see where we have to cut FTE drastically again and this is even assuming that there is no state reduction in revenue so it has a significant impact and affects the district very heavily and something and we need to be thinking about in order to meet that we would actually have to reduce by fourteen percent in the next that year in order to

091address that and then that in this case doesn't even maintain our current policy but it gets us barely above the policy that was adopted tonight so I am gonna stop and see if there's there's any questions at this point I know it's a lot of information but we now go ahead do we make the assumption that these two extra days that we've put in are just a one-time thing yes okay so even though the regardless of where the reductions come in the future years whether it's reducing the number of days or limiting that if we have a 5% reduction in state funding again next year we have to make an adjustment somewhere whether it's days or other things but the two additional PD days were just a one-shot thing correct correct that was the dollars

092out of the unassigned that was set aside for one guy Thanks okay I don't see anybody else coming on so I'm gonna jump back again okay for your information the history of the 3ml levy funds is shared and you can see what those dollars have went to and how the carryover comes through this is all part of this first section here gets tied to the general fund for 3a and then this section is in the capital reserve foot all of these are amounts are included in this prior amount here for 3 a and then the capital reserve part is identified in the capital reserve fund but as that comes through over it's time by the end of next year all those funds would be spent and there would be no dollars available for 2324 so

093jumping into nutrition services we still have a lot of nuances going on between what this year's budget and our estimated year-end comes through the biggest significance you can see when you're looking at the the revenue is a large drop in the revenue from 2.1 to 1.6 which then also looking at our salaries and benefits we see some reductions but we did continue to pay our staff through the end of the school year so we have small reductions in our expenditures mostly due to reduced food and milk costs that we would be doing if we were serving meals in the kitchen instead of in the parking lot but overall we are still estimating that between the because of the decrease in the revenue small decrease in expenditures that we're anticipating in that change going from our

094budget of 427 down to 630 and in order to keep the nutrition services fund balance at about a hundred thousand we now need to transfer five hundred and fifty thousand from the general fund to support that our transfer from 3/8 would stay the same because that's based off of our initial salary increase that was provided to attract and retain but that ends our our ending fund balance at 90 thousand 578 so that becomes our beginning budget we do anticipate food sales can increase but we expect more than anything that our federal reimbursement would go up based on the number of free and reduced applicants that would be participating in the food program our commodities don't change either on the revenue or the expenditure side our salaries we actually budgeted those to increase and this is

095something depending on how we have to serve next year that we're going to make some adjustments whether it's being having students eat in the cafeteria just altering schedules so you have less students in the social distancing in place or they're in a classroom or they're in a classroom and we're in the AV model and we're serving also to students that could pick up lunches so we have a lot of unknown still in nutrition services so the budget has built on our best ideas that we have at this point but you can see a pretty significant increase in the the supplies and materials compared to what we actually spent this year and overall expenses going to 2.6 continuing to see a large net change deficit in our fund balance and continue to need general fund support

096to provide for the nutrition services went the idea in this one would be to keep this balance around a hundred thousand to address any needs that we have including equipment that potentially breaks down but we're looking overall at our total appropriation of two point six three eight one hundred and forty-five dollars forecast as we go through or similar to the general fund however on the expenditure side not really foreseeing the ability to reduce any of the hours for food service program because we need to continue to provide those meals and cost will continue to go up so that makes the expenditure assumption create an even bigger decrease in our fund balance as we move forward hopefully this is an area that will change and reimbursements go up and our participation goes up would be a

097great great thing for the district you also see the transfer in here from the general fund where the 3a piece no longer becomes available that was there to support the tractor routine portion and so then that requires a larger transfer from the general fund over the next few years any questions on nutrition services okay so designated purpose grant fund on this one we have the revised budget to help support the Karis funding and CRF and as our funding as well as our other grants that we've received for our budget this year we have the estimate of what we expected to spend and the one thing that's different with the grant fund is our revenues always equal our expenditures at the end of the year and any grants received announcement become an accrued and then those

098that are spent and not received become a receivable so it's always suggested out and we went ahead and increased the the grant budget up to seven million dollars for next year and that's anticipating that a portion of the cares dollars will be spent next year and hopefully other additional grants will become available to support schools and we will most likely apply for any of them we would qualify for so we expect to increase our grants next year significantly and then drop down to about five million in future years the Transportation Fund just a little side note here is that we do have a new director his name is Tim owlsley and he will be presenting to you later tonight on a purchase that is needed for transportation but looking forward to working with him throughout

099this process and has been able to jump right in there and provide support for us already this year but you can see the estimated fund balance as it comes forward here and based on our budget and we would still expect to get the the property tax in this specific ownership maybe drops a little bit our state categorical we talked about this in our preliminary budget how it's higher than normal due to a CDE 40 which is our annual report to the state where the mileage was submitted incorrectly and so we need to refund some of those dollars to the state and we expect to withhold that out of our fund balance and pay that back next year which is included in this purchase service payment back to the state so that's why the revenues in

100here a little higher our other income this piece of it this 563 compared to other years this comes from doing field trips and other services where transportation is needed and so those amounts drop significantly this year and then we are hoping that they go up next year so we have a little bit of change their salaries and benefits did drop significantly as expected we don't really have any of the work going on for our drivers this summer at all where we used to in prior years so we're not doing any of those additional programs like youth power 365 in past years we transported for those programs and we are not doing that this year so we are looking at our expenses to drop and actually being able to support through the fund balance we had

101budgeted to transfer eight hundred ninety thousand from the general fund to support our transportation above and beyond the no levy that we have we have our three a so the the one thing with transportation that you see though is that is a very large fund balance but by time you roll it forward and do our revenue for next year and our increase costs that are going to go up because a portion of that had to be reserved here to pay the state back but we're looking at a pretty big loss next year as are we expect our expenses to increase and then also not actually doing it an additional transfer next year from the general fund at all to get this self-sustaining for this one year so that we can keep as many dollars in

102the general fund as possible to support our general fund expenditures next year and then keeping our fund balance in in the future around one hundred and fifty thousand dollars but you can see how quickly that fund balance gets eaten away and needs to jump right back up there to be a transfer from the general fund and again an even larger transfer when 3a dollars go away so transportation is a lot like nutrition services that when we look at the future of that it will be very difficult to reduce the costs unless we start reducing the number of routes that we do work looking more on having students walk farther and things like that which is I think really difficult and in the climate here to change those so we don't have a lot of reductions

103in cost being shown in the future and that that being tied to increase in the general fund to continue to support transportation to get our kids to school any questions on transportation okay all right a bond redemption fund not a lot of changes on here we still need to set mill levies to generate property taxes to pay our principal and interest on our bonds that we have and so we just continue to generate enough dollars to make those payments at the end of the year but overall our ending fund balance is sufficient to make the payments that are due in December prior to additional property tax collections and I'm going to just go ahead and jump on to the building fund these are the proceeds from the bonds that were sold in 2016 with our

104small carryover amount that we have into this year's budget to finish up small construction projects a little bit of the ssa and a little bit mostly technology but we anticipate all of these funds being fully spent by the end of this 2021 fiscal year and so you don't see any more in the future anything on those two funds okay so we're gonna get into capital reserve a little bit and looking at how this rolls out you can see that we had beyond putting dollars aside every year and adding to make them cumulative for the expenditure side and so in order to complete some of the projects that we had in line for 2021 and dollars that had been carried over from prior years we've been able to support that that this leaves the three hundred

105and fifteen thousand for our facility improvements and so these are anything inside to a break fix that we need to address and you can see over time that will probably have to reduce those and we can have conversations as we go into future years budgets about what the board would like to do because not addressing your capital projects is kind of what gets you lined up to have to go back to the voters for a bond but as we look and just really focus on this year the federal and state sources we did get best funding last year and I believe that we might still get best funding this year for gypsum Creek middle the last thing I saw published was that we did make the final list just in waiting for clarity because some

106of the best fund was best funds were reduced but we may get some additional funds and if we do we'll add that into our revised budget um it also provides for a roof replacement at gypsum Creek middle school to finish up that because that's occurring right now and we'll finish up through this summer there's some dollars for concrete asphalt that we are he had scheduled to take care of or this summer and some flooring needs that need to continue to happen one of the big projects we have going on right now is Brush Creek Elementary and putting their flooring in which looks pretty good actually the big section here that we have as HVAC where we do have a couple of boilers that we identified for replacement however those dollars can be reallocated and supported

107to finish up the Jew Creek consolidation at this point as well as the best funding that would provide us the dollars to be able to complete the Jin Creek consolidation the health and safety maintenance this 189 these are tied to the radios that's part of a board action item later on tonight for you guys to vote on and then this 200,000 tied to the Joong Creek will also be rolled into this 563 to be able to meet the AI a contract agreement that is also presented later for board approval the area is down here and we still have those hundred thousand in here for the copiers to get one more year replacement and then we most likely will not be able to continue that unless we allocate more funds to capital reserve in the future

108but at least one more will get us up a step further than the these are the 3a expenditure dollars and by the way if I think I forgot to mention that earlier is the 3a does increase by the one point nine percent cost of living so there's a few more dollars available next year for that portion of it and that's where a portion of the additional property tax comes from but overall we would need to continue to do our transfer from the general fund in the 3a dollars and scheduling our our future out it always maintaining a fund balance of about 1.5 which leads to this appropriation of 3.4 but just know as we go into our future years unless there's additional state grants or things that we get to support capital reserve our other

109local income that is generated through like auction items and things like that will eventually go away and average about 35,000 and then continuing a hundred thousand a year for our health and safety in order to balance that one-point-five you can see that that just barely leaves about two hundred thousand average available for break fix items the 3a items would continue however once 3a goes away those dollars for those capital projects of continuing to update our bus fleet our maintenance equipment technology all of that would no longer be available but overall we're looking at ending fund balance of 1.5 and just as you're aware we do have the copier purchase in here and this was an agreement that it's not a multi-year agreement but when the board approved it the last time that they would like

110to see that consecutively so that's why that's built into the budget and we don't have a separate action item for those copiers because the board already kind of voted on that and it'll be approved with approval of the budget but you do have that separate action item for the health and safety of the radios because it's kind of above and beyond what you've seen an agreement for yet okay any questions on capital reserve okay we're almost through so get through this next one is district housing fund and we do have things a little bit different than we initially had in the preliminary budget and really that that's a change here on the salaries and benefits where those dollars are then put into the subsidy and our financing costs for employee housing and the reason for

111that really is like I have to see you guys but hey um we we initially had a job description out there to support somebody that can help do the property management contact with the developers intern to master leases and manage all of our employee housing agreements and um in doing further research into this and possible future partnerships that we could have with other entities we decided that the funds could be best used as a financing or subsidy cost to continue to increase available employee housing and so we have a few individuals that currently work on a lot of the housing which is myself and then caring Yorker and errants of windows for facilities and so we're gonna add a little bit of work where we bring in a portion of somebody from human resources that

112can help do that like communication hub to connect people our employees to housing options and kind of absorb that into HR to be that third wheel to make this happen so we're kind of excited all summer so I'm excited about that because it does allow us the ability to enter into some master leases in other areas and then be able to begin to work on the initial housing projects and Edwards and an eagle and be able to have some of those subsidies for those financing costs so we can get those off the ground before it for awhile so that's why the recommendation is that for the employee the district housing fund that those dollars be reallocated in here for this subsidy in financing but overall you can start seeing where even though we have some

113revenue coming in for a while that's going to adjust and we look at a negative into our fund balance and over time as we continue to build out even though the revenues increase our expenditures increase and the fund balance begins to to start going down this was anticipated it's expected and it's necessary very much in order to get these additional units off the ground where you have an initial capital investment working towards that and you have a effectively over time before the housing fund will start building its balance back up so I know that was kind of a lot of information about that too but any questions on the housing fund okay moving on to the last one here Student Activity Fund and you can see that our expected revenues generated for this year have

114dropped significantly but also we didn't really have a lot of time for the students to send them or use those funds so even though we anticipated we actually budgeted to expend all of our funds knowing to make sure that they were appropriated but a reduction of sixty seven thousand dollars is anticipated at this point and then it brings our fund balance up and then we would continue to add next year most likely and then we would have continued expenditures but overall looking at just a small amount remaining in that account and then over time we would have the appropriation equal to the amount of dollars that are generated and then the last one here is the information on Eagle County Charter Academy and how they've built their budget and if you are interested in more

115detail on what is available for the Eagle County Charter Academy that would be available on their district website as their budget presentation also if you're interested in more detail it's going to go back to presentation this up so at this point you have this all fun summary that ties everything together and breaks it out by source and object and what the total fund balance is but overall this leads to the final appropriation and when you're looking at the final appropriation we be asking you to approve a resolution tonight by fund to approve this one hundred and thirty one thousand eight twenty seven and nineteen dollars we identify the portion that's above and beyond the revenue brought in and this is that nine point seven and that's the part of the beginning fund balance and so

116that's also ties back to the policy that was approved tonight policy DV that says that will identify and explain what each of those beginning fund balances are used for as part of a resolution later in the meeting so I would turn that back over to you guys if you have any questions otherwise it's a action item to approve the budget tied to the resolution 2019 20-20 these questions for Sandy say thanks Andy for dragging us through that and I it does make sense the way you explain it it does to me I get a little the details are kind of fuzzy but I appreciate all the work that you put into it and I appreciate your you know concerning the budget budgeting as well it is good to look forward and see what could happen

117if 3a is not not and I appreciate your keeping that on our radar because that's so pertinent to the other a lot of the other discussions that we're that we're being part of being a Civ to consider as well thanks um I'll try to work on it so I'm not dragging people to painful I can't imagine how you would do it better I know what you have to do so you do a great job with it I appreciate it anyone else this is an action item if there's no others then I'll move to adopt the twenty 2021 budget for Eagle County school district re v oj as presented and to appropriate each fund is specified in resolution 20 19 20 - 20 for the fiscal year beginning July 1 2020 and ending June 30 2021

118second about the same mrs. alter kelly alter i missus Jharna shelley Jarno i dr. long i michelle Stucker i missus t-bar kunis Messina TR I thank you motion passes 6 0 okay move on to the approval of fun balance reduction resolution number 2019 - 20/20 - 21 and I'll hand it back to sandy okay so we mentioned this kind of repeatedly throughout the budget presentation for each of the funds but this one specifically identifies by fund and how much of the revenue is being spent in the purpose or it all of these do have a statement in it that says the future adjustments must be made to revenue and or expenditures and the fund to maintain financial stability so you do all need to be aware and very clearly that the dollars being appropriated this

119year are not sustainable in the future under the assumptions that were made during the budget presentation but we you know budgeting the adopted budget that was approved we have the fund balance to sustain it for this one and so this one again is an action item it is clearly defined now and budget DB so we tasks for the board to take a vote on this one any questions for Sandy do we have a motion I move to approve the solution number 2019 / 2021 authorizing the use of a person of the beginning fund balance am I on the right you got it up but you're right okay perfect I'll second little on sigh mrs. alter Kelly altar I missus Jharna Shelli jar no eye doctor long doctor long eye mrs. Decker Michels Tucker eye mrs.

120Cheever Kunis you see that T bar Kunis i60 thank you and moving on to the approval of interfund borrowing resolution 222 okay so this one is also it's all tied to the annual budget approval process and because we have one consolidated checking account for all funds except the the bond redemption in the building fund which are kept at color trusts we need to have this resolution that allows us to borrow from each fund during the year and so that's what the resolution identifies what that is based on the budgets for each of those accounts so we're just asking that you approve this resolution to allow us to continue having a consolidated checking account and pooling our cash and the amount by fund any questions for sandy they're the motion I moved to adopt resolution number

1212019 slash 20-22 authorizing the chief operating officer and the superintendent to borrow unencumbered money from other district funds as authorized by Colorado statutes all right second all circle putting on building monssai mrs. altar kelly altar i mrs. jar no jelly jar no i dr. long dr. long i mrs. Decker Michelle's Tucker I Mrs T bar Kunis Lucy left ivar Kunis i motion passes 6-0 thank you next we will look at an approval to purchase replacement radios thank you good evening everybody thanks my name is Tim Owsley I am the new director of transportation for the district I'd like to thank everybody for allowing me to participate and present at the meeting tonight our school district is in need of new handheld mobile and portable bus powered radios for the transportation department here at Eagle County

122the two-way communication radios that we use in transportation are essential pieces of equipment for the safe and efficient transportation of our students here in Eagle County Schools the radios are central for things such as you know routing changes based on road conditions or closures situational support for student behavior for the drivers and first responder response for either a student or a driver in need on the bus without an upgrade to the radio hardware we own essential safety and everyday functions would be delayed or not available to our drivers all of which could create a safety hazard for our students and Driver team the county network suite that we utilize are no longer supporting our current radios and those radios have been discontinued through Motorola our existing radios are also no longer supported from a maintenance

123and repair standpoint through the county or Motorola and an upgrade is needed in order to keep Eagle County School District student transportation running as safely and efficiently as possible I'm asking this to be an action item this evening for approval to go ahead with the purchase of a total of 75 new radios for the school district to include 59 hired amount of radios for the bus fleet and 16 for handheld radios for support needs asking for approval of up to a hundred one hundred eighty eight thousand three hundred and $5.25 for the purchase so I am currently working with Eagle County and due to some of the benefits of our partnership with the Eagle County radio cooperative I do expect to see some savings on the purchase but I don't have a solid dollar figure

124for that savings tonight there's some additional fees that I think we'll be able to get around from the radio provider they were purchasing through little save us to might on the back end due to our partnership with Eagle County and I'm working through that currently with Mick McConnell I think is his last name with Eagle County he's part of the radio cooperative and heads up the 800 megahertz ward for us the that we utilize so as Mick and I work through that any of those dollars that we would save obviously will just go back to the cap over is there fun and I spoke with Sandi about this earlier today as well so once we have the dollars then it easy to return those and so that's why we're asking for an approval up to

125the hundred eighty eight thousand with the anticipation the spend will actually be a little less than that so thank you all very much for your time consideration and support on the initiative does anyone have a question I have one might be quick I'm Tim great to meet you welcome and thank you I thought your background information on these being kind of the industry standard was really helpful to see because it's a pretty big dollar amount purchase do you have any sort of range you could share with us on like similar products we were to look elsewhere like price point wise is this similar to what else is out there so I don't have price points there are other providers I mean Kenwood is a radio provider and they might offer some products at a lower

126price point book it's ordered through our County cooperatives that we have so we pay annual radio and to to be able utilize the county in the state written work for basically first responders as were classed as if we if we purchase a radio outside of that then we don't get the free support for repair of programming and of that type of support that we will need as especially as videos age we would have to pay out of pocket for all of those expenses down the road slight amounts on the radio on the front end but it would only cost us more on the back end to support those devices over the next 10 years got it thank you that's helpful hmm questions real quick question - how long did the old radios last and how

127long are these supposed to last and the warranty and that stuff so the old radios were purchased about ten years ago and like expectation on these would be a ten-year expectation as well warranty through Motorola is I believe two years with radios that we're purchasing but I've support on the county side via MEC four pairs of maintenance and things like that that's just included with the dues that we already pay would and we are so interested in purchasing this - supported supported devices that we're pushing forward we are opting for the least expensive or options that the county supports people fit these that we have and they're the most cost effective solution we can get where we still retain all that support okay thanks a lot welcome to the team thank you anyone else we

128have a motion I move to purchase radios for a total of one hundred and eighty eight thousand three hundred $5.25 a second you see I apologize mr. Almanza [Music] for another month so I mr. Salter Kelly altar I missus Jharna Shelley jarred oh I dr. long dr. long i mrs. Decker Michele's Tucker i Mrs T bar Kunis to seal at Iwakuni aye motion passes six zero thank you thank you thank you nice to meet you next we need to approve AIA agreements with Hazelden for construction sandy and it isn't actually so we talked a little bit about this at the on the capital reserve side of this but we've gotten the final pricing in for for June Creek to be converted into the Edwards Learning Center and we did put an RFP out for the

129contractors on this job and Hazleton was the low bid and that were was able to be provided the one thing really that to point out is when we got initial quotes on this of what it would take to do the conversion on the construction we were provided an estimate of about 300,000 so that's what we estimated when we put it together to take care of this once we got inside and actually had the bid out and the contractors did the walk and we also walked with the county for licensing requirements the expectations that we had before of not having to add exterior doors to each of the classrooms that that went away we actually had to do that the plumbing piece of that we have to actually go down the middle of the hallway and

130then go to each of the rooms to be able to adjust the workstations that are in shared classrooms to restrooms and so the final bid has come in at the 608 179 the portion does not include air conditioning we did get a quote on that and that was an additional 325,000 so I actually did not bring that forward to the board for approval on that at this point we are able to meet licensing requirements as long as the temperatures in the the classrooms remain with a certain low and high point and we believe that we can sustain that in the classrooms without adding air conditioning so the dollars are available within the capital reserve fund being reassigned from HVAC funding that was reserved into the June crate consolidation to be able to support this so

131the AAA contracts are standard legal agreements they've been reviewed by legal and and it they always show the adjustments that were made so you can see what's different from the standard contract but would request that you guys could approve this tonight so that we can move forward with the renovation does anyone have questions from week I don't this can all be completed by start of school yeah that's what I was going to ask so the initial RFP required the construction schedule to be complete by July 24th we've got a revised schedule and it pushes it into the end of August right before school starts in possibly into September 4th right after Labor Day we've asked them since removing the air conditioning to go back and revise their construction schedule so we're hoping that that makes

132a difference on it but it's one of our biggest issues right now is the delay of getting our construction permits because of a backlog at the Department of Education figure the state permitting process and so we're doing whatever we can to push forward and get this stuff done Hazleton has been doing some of the design work and everything lining everything up in anticipation of this but some of the delays tha that we could have for the hardware equipment and the permitting could cause it to be pushed back a little bit and this is just information that I've gotten today so I'm sharing it with everybody at this point just to be transparent about some potential delay there's a week or two starting would if they were delayed and it weren't finished by the first day

133of school is it things they can work on while kids are there or is that not allowed and they have to have it approved or whatever before the kids before they can show up yeah we have to have our certificate of occupancy and approval from the licensing department and so you can get a temporary certificate of occupancy and approval from licensing as long as there is a plan in place to fix those remaining items but it just depends on what it is and as long as we don't run into any snags in this beyond what we already are so we might I'm still optimistic and hopeful that we're going to do this and I guess after going through the last three years of construction and getting schools open on time that I wish I had

134if anything we're going to answer for you today but we yet we can make them seven any other questions do we have a motion I moved to approve AIA agreements with Houston for construction of the Edwards the Early Learning Center for a total of six hundred and eight thousand seven hundred and $19 I'll second okay mr. Almanza he's actually driving and he was afraid he may not okay keep the signal driving to work mrs. alter kelly alter I missus Jharna Shelley Gordo I dr. long dr. long mrs. Decker Michele's Tucker I Mrs T var Kunis you see that's er Kunis I motion passes 5-0 thank you okay thank you guys thank you moving on we are looking at approval of resolution 2000 1922-23 terminating a technology lease purchase agreement and corresponding contract and I'll hand

135it over to Katie Jarno and Sandy again yeah sorry so footsteps to brilliance we have decided to terminate that contract it wasn't it wasn't being used in the way that we had hoped that it would it was being used by some classes in some schools but the hope had been that it would really be any sort of pique even prior to that you know three-year-old that people would be using at home people would be using it outside of school before their kids even got into Eagle County Schools and we found that that was just not happening we did a lot of marketing they provided a lot of marketing support we were with communications and so for I think three years we worked on that and it just wasn't happening so we decided that because of

136the cost when we looked at the price that we were paying and the number of teachers who were actually using it it was really exorbitant so we've decided to terminate that contract we have a couple of other options that we can use that are much less expensive one is a Renaissance project product called freckle and freckle is not only a reading piece but it they also have a piece that is in math social studies and science so all of the core subjects it's also something that should we have to move to remote learning we could certainly use in that way as well there are a couple of other options in terms of pieces that parents could use outside of school another Renaissance project that we're looking at that we're using at the secondary level and

137we're just kind of piloting it and we may push it down so school is called my own news which is similar to newsela and that's something that kids and parents can also use at home so it's a huge cost savings for us we I don't have the final numbers on what freckle will cost for the elementary level we're still working on that with our Renaissance rep but there is absolutely no question that it would be a great cost savings it would be far less than the hundred thousand dollars a year that we're paying for Foot footsteps so I feel like we've we've done our due diligence in trying to promote it and trying to market it it just didn't work out in the way that we had hoped and so we just like you know

138the the cost part of this is really prohibitive and the amount of the the resources that we could reassign to other curriculum purchases is really important and that's why it's being terminated through the the Tabor and that allows us to do that because we just don't have the resources to be able to continue to put forward in that product so that's why you have the resolution also part of the budget process that's why it needs to be adopted tonight and not done earlier in the year so this is already reflected in the budget yes because those resources are now going to other curriculum opportunities any questions there are no questions I'll move to approve resolution 2019 / 20-23 terminating a technology lease purchase agreement and corresponding contract second meeting currently so we'll start with mrs.

139alter kelly alter i missus Jharna jelly jar no I dr. Leung I miss mrs. G bar Kunis OC let's embark on a sky we're not moving to the approval of the negotiated thank you miss journal every spring we get together with the Eagle County Education Association as part of policy to negotiate the agreement with Teachers Association key provisions of this year's agreement we did started back in January when we agreed to add two days of professional development and planning and then on June 17th we were able to to reach a finalized agreement and once the state finished its budgeting process key provisions in this agreement sandy mentioned previously in her presentation but I'll reiterate of key importance we are able to provide a 1.9 percent increase to all employees and that is consistent with the

140Denver Boulder cost-of-living increase as published in May of 2020 this increased really offsets an increase that employees have to pay for their contributions to para to the state retirement account this year employees have to increase their contributions by one point two five percent so had we not provided any increase at all to to our employees actual out-of-pocket take-home pay would have been less so the 1.9% we believe covers the cost of living and and offsets that 1.25% that they're paying for para increase we also are able to provide Lane advancements in our new step and Lane salary schedule so the Lane advancements are for those who individuals who continued their school continue their education advanced degrees earned college credits and and we're able to move them to the right on that salary schedule as a

141result of their efforts in the event that the district sees any increase in health benefits the district will pay 100% of those increases for employees typically that's a negotiated item and the district pays a percentage and then employees would pay a percentage but in the light of the Kovach crisis and the increased risk to to health the district thought it important to cover that expense for all staff we also were able to provide FTE to high schools into early childhood education as a way to backfill their teacher leader positions those positions have been hired and and without funding for many many years in our district last year in the negotiated agreement we provided backfill for FTE for elementary and middle schools with an understanding that we would finalize that this year in a second wave

142to address high school and early childhood so that helps offset class size in those two levels where teachers have been performing leadership capacity either coaching teachers or or managing different elements of their school's strategic plans and finally just to reassure you that the two days that we added in January remained in the contract so to summarize you know as you've just heard from Sandy we're in an incredible budget crisis around the state but I could proudly say that our school district has no pay cuts has no pay freezes has no declaration of fiscal exigency or fiscal emergency we have no reduction in FTE ratio no in the calendar days we're still providing busing we're still providing sports and electives and we have a healthy fund balance for 21 22 and 22 23 because we do

143anticipate state budgets to to get even tighter in coming years and I don't mean to say that we haven't sacrificed I think that there have been significant sacrifices in our district first and foremost to close the closing of jeune Creek Elementary that was a significant emotional burden for for the families students and staff of Jun Creek and appreciate their willingness to work with us on that change and that hasn't saved us considerable money and the longer were able to run the early childhood program there the more that that will accrue financial gains for the district we've also made significant cuts to budgets at the district office most of the departments here in this office cut between 10 and 20 percent out of their budgets including my own so we've done a lot of belt tightening

144here we've also left district office positions unfilled says we understand the importance of keeping staffing in classrooms and working with kids as close as possible and finally we did have to reduce activity budgets in school so the discretionary funds used for athletic directors or or for extra extracurricular activities or slightly reduced but through those sacrifices we were actually able to provide that 1.9 percent pay increase to to everybody so that's teachers that's classified support staff administrators everybody across the board so we're very proud of this agreement and I'd like to take a minute to acknowledge our partners in the Eagle County Education Association they bring a professional attitude a cooperative attitude collaborative attitude and then through the interest-based bargaining model we have a very civil and productive discourse and it's always a pleasure to work

145with them to reach these agreements so Adel I'll ask if there's anything that I missed and also ask the board if you have any questions for clarification there's nothing that you miss but I did want to point out that the Education Association did send the vote out to the members and they had 84 members vote at a 96.4% yes vote so I think that if my math is correct that's about three folks that said no thank you the ecea forget it not done so quickly board members any questions for us on that it's outstanding I think because so many times what what I'm seeing and I have a lot of family and friends back in the Chicagoland area so there's never a situation like this there where everyone agrees and they come to the table

146and kind of good faith in working together to get things done so I would say outstanding job and the way that the Education Association is you know voting for it it's it's a it's a great way to do business so very well done other questions an action item if not all them to approve the negotiated agreement is presented mr. Salter Kelly alter I miss ajar no chili jar no I dr. long I miss Dekker Michelle Stucker I miss is t VAR Kunis lucila t VAR Kunis I thank you motion passes 5-0 I believe that brings us to the end and so it's now just did this meeting meet our can't remember what the questions are doesn't even have feedback or evaluation of this meeting okay then meeting adjourned
