Board discusses 1-mill referendum, insurance renewal and operational items
Summary
Finance and operations updates included a reminder that a 1-mill referendum for $4,300,000 will appear on the ballot and plans for public education; the board also heard that an auditor is completing the financial audit, bus radios aided storm communication and an insurance renewal may increase premiums about 6.8%.
Board members discussed several finance and operational items. Speaker 5 reminded trustees that a 1-mill referendum worth $4,300,000 will be on the ballot and urged continuing public education efforts ahead of that vote.
Speaker 5 also said the auditor is conducting the district's financial audit and that there were a "couple findings" staff expects to clear up. On operational communications, the board noted that bus radios were useful during the recent storm when cellular service faltered and said the district may budget for additional radios in the future.
Speaker 10 said the insurance renewal process is underway and staff expected roughly a 6.8% increase in premiums; he said the insurance committee will meet to review options.
Board members were urged to assist with public outreach about the referendum and with internal follow-up on audit findings; no formal finance-related votes were recorded during the meeting.
