Consultants tell Flambeau board community support could fund $5–7 million in referendum projects
Summary
SitelogiQ summarized a community survey and facility assessment for the Flambeau School District, listing a 12-item referendum package and saying community support appears to center around $5–7 million; the firm will coordinate workshops and tax-impact modeling with BAIRD.
At about 7:30 p.m., Michael Smith of SitelogiQ presented results of a community survey and a facility reassessment to the Flambeau School District Board of Education, outlining 12 possible referendum items and showing initial modeling of what the public might support.
Smith said it "looked like the support might be around $5-7 million dollars for a referendum," and noted the district's current mill rate at 5.03 percent, comparing it with Ladysmith's 9 percent mill rate. Engineer Jack Mata showed slides detailing building issues — heating-system improvements, sealing the building envelope, upgrading exterior doors, replacing an unsafe playground, small-gym flooring replacement, corridor upgrades, and athletic-field drainage improvements — and discussed options that would depend on referendum proceeds or use of fund balance.
Smith said SitelogiQ would begin scheduling workshops and work with BAIRD to model tax impacts for the board so members can give informed information to voters if the district pursues a referendum.
