This was an item that to my knowledge was tabled at a previous meeting. Now that the facility, grounds, transportation, technology plan has been discussed and agreed upon by Dave, Kyle, Shirley and myself, we feel confident that this is a wise purchase. I am seeking approval.
7. NEW BUSINESS
A. Approval to Hire Engineering Firm to Design, Spec., and Bid Football Lights/Baseball Lights.

B. Approval to Hire Engineering Firm to Design, Spec., Bid Renovation of Northeast Elementary Office
*I am seeking approval to hire this firm to spec and develop bid information for the office renovation at Northeast Elementary.*
C. Approval for Review of all Board Policies Motion 7.C.
*Enclosed* you have two quotes from two organizations that do policy review and suggested revisions to board policies. We are in need of updating our board policies in totality and then annually we need to review policies that will get us through the entire policy book within a five year time frame. I am seeking approval to move forward with hiring one of these firms. Both are reputable.
D. Approval of Five Year Plan	Motion 7.D.
*Dave,* Kyle, Shirley and myself sat down and discussed the funding available for the projects we need to accomplish as well as planned out what we feel will need to be accomplished for each of the next five years. Due to things that come up each year, we will sit down and modify the plan annually, but will always be adding a fifth year to it. Shirley and myself feel comfortable with reserving an amount that can be used should a catastrophic situation occur in our district that would need dollars available immediately. We feel this amount should be no less than $500,000.

After several months of study and on the advice of legal cousel, the Iowa Schools Employee Benefits Association Board of Directors has decided to reorganize ISEBA.

K. Revenue Purpose Statement Discussion

I am seeking the board's discussion on the future of the Revenue Purpose Statement that is set to expire in 2013. Without a valid revenue purpose statement we will be forced to use 100% of all SILO funding to pay down debt. Once the debt has been paid the money received will be returned to Des Moines to be redistributed to other districts that have valid revenue purpose statments. This is not a taxing issue, rather a permission issue. It must be voted on by our constituents and have at least 50% plu one to be in place. The revenue purpose statements sunset in 2029.
