Call to Order

President Romens called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

Upon roll call the following Board members responded as being present:  President Romens, Dave Blum, David Warren, Henry Clark and Linda Young.

 

The Board of Directors reviewed several different scenarios showing how the Instructional Support Levy could be funded. The scenarios compared different tax rates, different Instructional Support percentages and different amounts of SILO used for debt reduction. Following discussion, Dave Blum made a motion to approve scenario number three on page two as the funding for the Instructional Support Levy. This scenario sets the income surtax rate at 7%, put approximately 10% of the ISL on property tax, reduces the cash reserve levy and uses $200,000 additional of SILO funds to reduce the debt service levy. The debt service levy will be reduced by $200,000 for the next five years and school textbook fees will be eliminated if the Instructional Support Levy passes. This action of the Board will reduce property taxes and school fees for next year if the ISL vote passes on February 1, 2011. Dave Warren seconded the motion. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.

The Board talked about how important the revenue purpose statement for our SILO funds is to the school district and when would be a good time to take this to a vote. Our current revenue purpose statement expires in 2013. If the district does not have a new voted revenue purpose statement, in 2013 these funds will have to be used only for debt reduction and once all debt has been paid off the funds will revert back to the state. In Glenwood, SILO funds have been used for such things as resurfacing the track and tennis courts; remodeling the office at Northeast Elementary; installing lights at the football and baseball fields and the installation of sidewalks. Future projects include building a baseball/football concession stand. The SILO funds have also been used for property tax relief  by lowering the debt service levy; helping to  purchase a grand piano; purchasing computers and technology for the district and for the purchase of a new transportation facility. During the construction of the new high school $1.9 million of the SILO funds were used to help pay for the building costs and for furniture and equipment in the new high school.

Dave Warren made a motion to approve the agreement with the Iowa School Employee Benefits Association Governmental Cooperation Agreement for our insurance benefits. Henry Clark seconded the motion. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.

The Board talked about how important the revenue purpose statement for our SILO funds is to the school district and when would be a good time to take this to a vote. Our current revenue purpose statement expires in 2013. If the district does not have a new voted revenue purpose statement these funds will have to be used only for debt reduction starting in 2013 and once all debt has been paid the funds will revert back to the state. SILO funds have been used for building upkeep; buy down our debt service levy; resurface the track and tennis courts; remodel the office at Northeast Elementary; install lights at the football and baseball fields; purchase a new transportation building; install sidewalks; computer and technology purchases for the district and $1.9 million of our funds were used towards building and equipping the new high school.

 

As there was no further business to come before the Board at this time, a motion was made by Dave Blum and seconded by Linda Young to adjourn the regular meeting at 9:39 p.m. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.
