U.Revenue Purpose Statement
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.
Adjournment
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 9:10 p.m. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.
