Board to consider waiving youth football fees and renewing solicitor contract at July vote
Summary
The board discussed a proposal to waive youth football fees for 2024–25 because boosters are funding field maintenance (estimated up to about $2,000) and recommended retaining solicitor Zach Shekel for 2024–25 at $100/hour and $30/hour for legal assistant time; formal action is scheduled for July 15.
At the workshop, Chair David told the board he will present a formal motion at the July 15 voting meeting to waive the district’s annual fees for the youth football program for the 2024–25 season. He said youth football boosters are contributing to field maintenance—painting lines and assisting with maintenance such as changing light bulbs and running a lift—and estimated the boosters’ contributions toward those projects could be "upwards towards $2,000 per year," which he said exceeds the district fees charged.
David recommended the board waive fees for the upcoming season and said the motion will be on the July 15 agenda for a formal vote. No mover, seconder or vote tally was recorded during the workshop.
Separately, David recommended retaining solicitor Zach Shekel for general solicitor duties for the 2024–25 school year, describing Shekel as prompt and thorough. The proposed rate is $100 per hour for attorney services and $30 per hour for legal assistant time; David recommended continuing the arrangement and said Shekel’s pricing remains the same as prior years.
Both items were discussed as consent/finance agenda items and will be voted on during the July 15 meeting.
