Board reviews consent and action items ahead of Aug. 29 regular meeting; appraisal district budget concern raised
Summary
Board reviewed consent agenda items and a list of action items slated for Aug. 29, including multiple budgets, proposed tax rates, investment policy, an insurance interlocal and the $1,000,000 GMP for the softball complex; trustee Grant Lischka warned that Austin County Appraisal District budget increases reduce district funding capacity.
Trustees reviewed consent agenda items for the upcoming Aug. 29 regular meeting, including approval of minutes (July 25 regular, Aug. 19 special, Aug. 19 agenda review) and planned budget amendments and donations. The board also previewed multiple action items scheduled for the regular meeting: a defeasance resolution for 2024—25; Maintenance & Operations, Interest & Sinking, and Food Service budgets for 2024—25; proposed tax rates; the certified appraisal roll; the BISD Resolution of Investment Policy; a PCAT insurance interlocal agreement and three-year addendum; a resolution to reimburse maintenance tax notes or time warrants for BHS Softball Complex expenditures; and self-certification of the superintendent's purchasing authority.
Board member Grant Lischka reported on Austin County Appraisal District budget increases and warned that higher appraisal district budgets raise BISD costs because the district cannot increase revenues to cover those increases. The agenda-review meeting did not include final votes on the listed action items; the meeting adjourned at 7:31 p.m. on a motion by Grant Lischka, seconded by Heather Novicke.
