Board approves CFD tax rates, employment contracts and Facilities Master Plan; multiple votes recorded

The Del Mar Union School District Board of Trustees carried multiple formal actions at its July 22, 2025 meeting, approving adjustments to special tax rates and budgets for two Community Facilities Districts, employment agreements for several assistant superintendents, an addendum for the acting interim superintendent, and an updated Facilities Master Plan that will support applications for state funding under Proposition 2.

The key motions and outcomes follow.

- Resolution CFD95102: Board approved Resolution No. CFD95102, determining adjustments in the special tax rate for Community Facilities District (CFD) 95.1 for fiscal year 2025–26. Motion passed unanimously. (Topic evidence begins with consultants' presentation at 00:03:45 and vote recorded at 00:05:14.)

- Resolution CFD95103: Board approved related actions for CFD 95.1. Motion passed unanimously.

- Resolutions CFD9968 and CFD9969 (CFD 99.1): Board approved an adjustment to the special tax rate (CFD9968) and adopted the district budget, directing the levy of special tax for fiscal year 2025–26 (CFD9969). Both motions passed unanimously.

- Consent item 6.6 — districtwide Student Farmers Market Nutrition Education Program contract: Board pulled this item from the consent list for brief discussion; the contract motion passed unanimously after board members described the program and its benefits to students.

- Employment agreements for district executives: The board took final action in open session and summarized compensation per Brown Act requirements. The assistant superintendent of business services employment agreement (annual salary $231,380; district health/welfare contribution $15,000) passed 4–1. The assistant superintendent of human resources agreement (annual salary $225,374; health/welfare $15,000) passed 4–1. The assistant superintendent of instructional services agreement (annual salary $210,578; health/welfare $15,000) passed 4–1. Names of individual dissenting voters were not specified in the board transcript.

- Interim superintendent addendum: The board approved an addendum to Christopher Delahanty’s agreement to compensate him an additional $225 per day for the period he serves in both roles; the motion passed unanimously. The board announced Mr. Delahanty’s appointment to serve as interim superintendent beginning July 22, 2025.

- Facilities Master Plan update: The board voted unanimously to approve the draft Facilities Master Plan update and associated addenda required to pursue Proposition 2 state funding. The plan updates the 2018 master plan, includes revised cost estimates and capacity projections, and lists funding sources and timing. District staff told trustees the draft shows a cash shortfall of about $23 million against the projects and that the plan is a “living document” to be refined as design and funding change.

The board recorded each of these items during the regular meeting; multiple motions were made and seconded and votes taken on the record. Where the transcript provides a roll-call or tally, that tally is reflected above; where individual member votes were not read into the record, the vote is recorded as reported (for example, “motion passes 4 to 1” without named yes/no votes).

Ending: Several items will continue to the district’s website and future board meetings for follow-up: the Facilities Master Plan will be posted in draft form under Facilities Planning, the annual district scorecard will be posted under the strategic plan link, and staff will return with priority actions and finalized scorecard metrics after the September 4 design-team meeting.
