Urbandale board approves renewal of revenue purpose statement for SAVE funds; consent agenda passes
Summary
The Urbandale Community School District Board voted 6-0 to approve a resolution renewing the district's revenue purpose statement for the state SAVE fund; the board also approved the consent agenda by roll call.
The Urbandale Community School District Board voted unanimously Sept. 8 to approve a resolution renewing its revenue purpose statement for expenditures from the state's SAVE (Secure and Advanced Vision for Education) fund, and carried the consent agenda by roll call.
The board approved a resolution that will place the district's revenue purpose statement on the ballot in November for voter information. The vote was by roll call: Hauser, Kent, Mead, Mankey, Williams and Young each voted "yes," producing a 6-0 result.
Superintendent (name not specified) told the board the action is procedural: it does not levy new taxes or authorize new spending but restates, consistent with state law, how the district would use funds collected from programs such as SAVE, PPEL or potential general obligation bonds. The superintendent said the resolution was drafted by the district's bond attorney, identified in the agenda as Beth Grove, and will be posted to the district website for public review.
Board members then moved the consent agenda, which passed on a separate roll call with the same six "yes" votes. The consent agenda items were not read into the public record during the meeting.
No additional financial commitments were made as part of either vote tonight; the revenue purpose statement vote was described by the superintendent and staff as a transparency step ahead of the November election.
