Board approves treasurer contract, 10‑year substitute levy and routine consent items
Summary
In addition to the Morgan Fields vote, the Yellow Springs board unanimously approved a four‑year treasurer contract, acknowledged OFCC schematic review, passed a 10‑year substitute levy to consolidate two levies, and adopted the consent calendar including modest meal price increases.
At the same meeting where trustees authorized preliminary work on Morgan Fields, the Yellow Springs Exempted Village school board approved several routine and fiscal items.
Treasurer contract: the board approved a four‑year contract for the district treasurer by unanimous vote (5–0). Board members said the treasurer’s performance had been reviewed and the contract aligns with district needs.
OFCC schematic acknowledgement: trustees voted 5–0 to adopt a resolution acknowledging the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission’s review of the district’s schematic design documents and confirming sufficient funding at the schematic stage.
Substitute levy: the board approved a 10‑year substitute levy that consolidates two existing emergency levies into a single 10‑year measure at the same tax rate for current property owners. Board members clarified that existing taxpayers would not see a change in their current tax payments and that the ballot language will reflect the substitute nature of the levy.
Consent calendar and school operations: the consent calendar passed (5–0). The board approved a small increase to meal prices — lunch up $0.25 and breakfast up $0.10 — and accepted annual items including an MOU that allows up to three calamity days to be delivered via online learning.
Personnel and administrative pay: the board approved routine personnel items and revised the administrative salary schedule for principals and assistant principals. Board members asked for an August update on student meal debt and a future presentation on school visits and land‑use visioning at the July 31 work session.
Votes at a glance: treasurer contract — approved 5–0; OFCC schematic acknowledgement — approved 5–0; substitute levy resolution — approved 5–0; consent calendar (including meal price changes) — approved 5–0; personnel schedule and administrative pay revisions — approved 5–0.
