Summary
A resident told the board his property fence on the school side was damaged while he was on vacation and offered to either repair it himself and submit a bill or have the district hire a contractor.
During public comment, resident Keith Cole told the North Spencer School Board that he returned from vacation to find his fence damaged on the school side and offered two remedies: he would either fix the fence himself and submit a bill for materials or the district could hire a fence repair contractor. Cole said he took photos and video and invited board members to view them on his phone.
Why it matters: the report raises a property-maintenance concern involving a resident and school grounds. Cole described the damage, said he had photographic evidence and proposed practical solutions.
Supporting details: Cole said he "returned from vacation and I went to mow the grass and I noticed that the fence was damaged on the school side. I have taken pictures. I have did a small video, so if anyone wants to look at that, feel free to look at my phone to see those." He added, "When I come with a problem, I also come with a solution. The solution for this is either I could fix it and then submit a bill of things I've used to fix the fence or you all could find a fence repair person and have them come fix the fence yourself." The transcript does not record any immediate board direction or vote in response.
Discussion vs. decision: this was a public-comment request; the transcript records the resident's statement and no formal board action or direction in that segment.
Ending: Cole said he had photos and video evidence available; no follow-up direction from the board was recorded in the meeting transcript.
