Board begins planning for February levy; considers four-year cycle and range up to $235,000
Summary
District staff reported preparations to run a February levy and advised trustees they can legally run up to about $235,000; trustees tentatively agreed to start the process at the historic minimum and consider a four-year cycle to reduce long-term cost.
District staff told trustees they had met with an assistant superintendent at the Educational Service District to plan a levy for the upcoming February ballot. "Which historically we've been running a $150,000 levy," staff said, and explained the district could legally run higher amounts if desired; a document on the table showed potential maximum levy options approaching $235,000.
Trustees discussed the length of levy cycles and observed that running a four-year levy previously saved money for the district; the board indicated support for moving forward with planning at the smaller amount for now, while keeping options open if a capital project required a larger request.
