Call to Order

President Theresa Romens called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m.

 

Upon roll call the following board members were present: President Romens, Dave Blum, David Warren and Linda Young. Henry Clark arrived at 7:07 p.m.

 

The board held interviews with two superintendent search firms. Presenting proposals to lead the superintendent search were Dr. Tom Jacobson from McPherson & Jacobson, LLC and Dr. Richard Christie and Dr. Virginia Moon from Ray & Associates.

 

On a motion made by Dave Warren and seconded by Linda Young the Board unanimously accepted the proposal from McPherson & Jacobson, LLC to conduct the superintendent search as long as Tom Jacobson can lead the search.

 

The board discussed the Instructional Support Levy funding. On a motion made by Linda Young the board set the income surtax rate at 10% to fund the ISL levy. This will raise over 90% of the revenue from income rather than property tax. Dave Blum seconded the motion which was  unanimously approved.

 

Henry Clark made a motion to approve pay application 34 from Omaha Construction Services in the amount of $464,867.86. Dave Warren seconded the motion which was unanimously approved.

 

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 special meeting at 10:00 p.m. The motion was unanimously approved.
