Summary

The board approved language for a school building bond on Jan. 13 after bond counsel advised retaining the technical term "acquisition"; the board set May 12 as the election date and approved the resolution by voice vote.

The Lakeville School Board voted Jan. 13 to approve a resolution authorizing the issuance of school building bonds and to call an election for May 12.

Superintendent Bauman explained he had consulted bond counsel about language on the ballot. He read a counsel-provided definition of "acquisition," noting the term covers purchase, condemnation, construction and acquisition of land, easements, buildings and equipment and that omitting it could create exposure under bond and debt-service law.

Director Swanson moved to approve the resolution; the board seconded and approved the motion by voice vote. The superintendent reminded the public that May 12 is the election date set for the bond question.

The board did not discuss detailed project lists at length in the meeting; Bauman said the language was revised to protect the district legally in the structure of the ballot question and to reflect counsel advice.
