Minnewaska board renews operating referendum authorization for 10 years starting with taxes payable in 2027
Summary
The Minnewaska Area Schools Board approved a resolution renewing its expiring operating referendum under Minnesota Statutes §126C.17, Subd. 9b, extending the district's current per-pupil revenue authorization for 10 years beginning with taxes payable in 2027.
The Minnewaska Area Schools Board voted July 21 to renew its expiring operating referendum revenue authority, extending the current per-pupil revenue amount for 10 years beginning with taxes payable in 2027. The board approved the resolution under Minnesota Statutes, Section 126C.17, Subdivision 9b, which allows renewal without an election if statutory conditions are met.
"The board is considering renewal under Minnesota Statutes, Section 126C.17, Subdivision 9b, which allows for renewal without an election under specific conditions," the board noted in the meeting minutes. The resolution maintains the current revenue level and sets a 10-year term; district administration will follow statutory steps required for an electionless renewal. No public comments were received during the time allotted for this item.
Board members voted by roll call; the motion carried. The board did not specify the exact per-pupil dollar amount in the meeting minutes; that figure was recorded as "current per pupil revenue amount" and is not specified in these minutes. Next procedural steps will follow the statute’s notice and reporting requirements before taxes payable in 2027 reflect the renewed authorization.
