Beth right now just going to review real briefly The Authority that allows the meet the process at where you where utilizing you're going to do the same reviews that you did at the last meeting I'll do it real briefly because what we'll do with this presentation is we'll put it up on the website buddy really wants to get in the house bill is actually Linked In the presentation so if people can go and read that wonderful language of the law if they really want to but the Marlowe School Board had elected to proceed with the structure that we have moved forward with by having to Virtual meetings to present the budget in the article the Warren articles to the school district the registered voters of the school district after the first meeting who did they opened up a mechanism for people to provide feedback with the second meeting and that we are having right now is intended to address all of the input that has been received but the house bill that allows this process board is House Bill 1129 which was signed into law by the governor back in July of last year anybody who is uncertain the process we've got the link here which I'll go ahead and just open so you can see where it takes you too and takes you to that document that we shared during our last meeting I just want to be very transparent with that for everyone so that they know what the process is we are in our second informational set session after today we will post the final Warren articles by tomorrow registered voters will come to the school on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and with that I think the first question that will be on the on the ballot this term greater will be are you in favor of adopting the procedures used for this meeting and it's important for voters to know that if they do not vote Yes then none of the other Warren articles will even be considered I just being very transparent with that as well and making sure that that was included in tonight's presentation for those who decided to zoom in so the first question on the ballot that folks will receive on Saturday is you in favor of the adoption of the procedures used by this meeting including the prior virtual meetings and the voting process used today in the note that accompanies that is if this is not adopted then all other vote Shelby. do a failed in the moderator will recess the meeting to a specific date time and place and with that we get to the Warren articles and it's all yours once again sir so one on the would you just ask what does the first question yep it will be like the way the ballot is set up and it doesn't say warn Article 1 what it'll be the designated as article a is my understanding Scott can you speak to that for me so we instead of having Lauren article one but it's replaced with that first part that we had listed there but because the the first question yes that replaces are the one because we have the Articles numbered as they were posted stuff so we didn't change our are you doing the dishes while you're talkin Scott sorry about the background noise so because we want to post the we posted the Warren articles we use the same numbers and we are eliminating number one because we're doing that with these meetings which is opening all right let that thank you for that clarification cuz that's what I was looking at the existing warrant or article one is to his reports etcetera Direct Read sub movie going to Article 2 operating budget to see if the district will vote to raise an appropriate amount of 2 million $274 take it back 2 million to 74000 $561 for the support of schools for the payment of salaries for the school district officials and agent and for the payment for the statutory obligations of the district this article does not include Appropriations contained in special or in Google articles address separately majority vote required a distant point in time I believe I need to ask for a abortion to me to move the article correct Soldier motion to move the article do you do I moved Aaron assing who seconded Kayla I don't have all your faces up at the same time stuff thank you and and then would Christie speak to the article as she did the last time with her briefly would like to do that the entire known again just to recap that it's down from previous year approximately 300 $3,424 or $4.78 Isaac projected decrease which would be $478 per $100,000 and that's before the war we are presenting a lower budget than we have in the past few years you said it was succinct as a superintendent Malia we in Channing Chad questions or anything at like that while we discuss this or would you review that at the end there shouldn't be any chat questions that is not the process that we had advertised you know this is really dead review any of the input that was submitted through the process that had been shared widely with all of the registered voters and no input had come in so it's ready for action why I stay still when I was asking that question this would be the space where indeed if there had been some responses other email text voice message you would have review those questions here right see your little Bella Pointe now okay so then I'm moving on to article 3 what we need to vote on that sir we've got a motion Okay so do a Roblox moderator a roll call vote of Z board members that I do that roll call for them happy the designated to someone else but Miss Smith Miss Dooley Spanish and of course we're not going to prove they are coming out because that will take place on Saturday correct bring it to the ballot all right we'll be going to Warrant article 3 the capital reserve fund to see if tomorrow school district will go to raise an appropriate $50,000 to be deposited the capital reserve fund previously established at the March 12th 2020 District meeting for the purpose of financing construction or reconstruction of the building and grounds of John D Perkins Senior Academy or to take any other action relation you're too and what's the rice to transfer up to $50,000 of the unassigned fund balance if any remaining on hand at the end of the fiscal year June 13th 2021 the board recommends is article of majority vote is required that I have a motion the moved that was Caleb Act II scene II in UK best all right once again miss miss would you like to briefly discuss this a couple years ago we closed out by boat it was decided by the voters to close out the capital reserve funds to offset an increase in taxes last year we reopened it with enough from another round of voting from the voters of a to increase it to open it at $5,000 so we are asking to put $50,000 back in 2 weeks to re-establish that significantly in case there are any unforeseen needs that needs to be met such as roof repairs building cost we we recently had to replace have work done to the septic lines to add a liner into the pipes and that was his significant cost and have you not had a surplus in this year's budget we would have had to ask for more money cuz we didn't have a couple to reserve to dip into so this is a necessity of a safety net to avoid an unexpected increase in taxes due to a major repair or need for the building thank you but this point in time roll call vote to move the article to the warrant valid for Saturday I'll start with Miss Smith was Julie yes yes rights of the article be moved to the ballot does seem kind of odd to be saying that are you all set best a reading of Warrant article for the two Expendable trust fund to see if the school district will vote to raise an appropriate to sum of $10,000 to be added to the over-budget tuition Expendable trust fund established by the voters at the 1993 District meet for the purpose of paying future year regular future year regular / special education tuition or to take any other action and relation there too and authorize the transfer of such some of the other sign fund balance there is an inn sufficient undesignated fund balance as of June 30 2021 to fund this appropriation and the appropriation in article 3 the capital reserve fund previously read article 3 will be funded is any additional Surplus to be applied to this warrant article no amount to be raised from taxation recommendations required to Marlow School Board recommends this warrant article in a majority vote required I have a going to ask for the motion and seconds and I'll have you do this discussion again Chrissy that was Karen best millisecond discussion Christi into this phone again and while it's still a large amount it's not enough to cover unexpected out-of-district placements fully so we would like to add a little at a time if we can to keep rebuilding that and we'd be believe $10,000. get us to a point that we would feel comfortable this year and will look at it again next year if there are any other unassigned funds available oh not hearing any further discussion discussion discussion I'll ask for a roll call vote to move the article to the ballot on Saturday the Smiths yes to transact any other business contact any of the business that may legally come before this meeting is there
