Following a presentation by a Colliners representative, the board adopted a resolution authorizing issuance of capital outlay certificates not to exceed $4,000,000 as part of financing steps for the powerhouse remodeling project; staff said they plan to use reserves first and borrow only if necessary.

The Wall School District 51‑5 board adopted a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of capital outlay certificates in an amount not to exceed $4,000,000 to finance the planned powerhouse remodel.

A Colliners representative (Toby) briefed the board on the standard financing steps and said the authorization does not bind the district to borrow the full amount but allows staff to pursue financing steps if needed. "This amount does not bind you to that, rather just allows you up to the maximum amount," the presenter said. District staff said they expect to use some cash reserves and hope not to issue the full authorized amount; state rules on debt thresholds were also discussed.

Board members approved the resolution by voice vote. Administration said it will return with final financing terms and any voter‑approval steps required if the debt would exceed statutory thresholds.
