Travis: Some from this group and others from the community may be a <br /> good composition for the Bond Education Committee. <br /> Jean: Once bond is passed, suggest coming back to Capital Needs Work <br /> Group. If continue to meet, we can discuss how often to meet. <br /> Many express support of the group continuing. <br /> Jean: Need a plan but schools need to get input from other stakeholders. <br /> Group needs to review after that process is laid out. <br /> Bonnie: Ask about timetable of next steps and what is deadline for school <br /> boards. <br /> Travis: We need to set purpose and not to exceed amount in April. <br /> Al: Ongoing maintenance is important consideration. Concern if there is <br /> not$10 million per year for annual maintenance funding to be spent across <br /> both districts. $5 million per year for annual maintenance to be split <br /> between districts is not sufficient. <br /> Kirk: The $5 million or $10 million per year is on-top of existing school <br /> funding of $148 million per year. This would supplement that existing <br /> amount. <br /> Jean: It would be helpful to see a table to see numbers laid out to see how <br /> it looks over time to clarify which category the funds are coming from. <br /> Rani: What is the work backwards date for school boards? <br /> Travis: We have enough information for prep meeting with LGC. During <br /> March,we will have several opportunities to make adjustments to the model <br /> or what we decide on. <br /> Rani: School Boards are adopting resolution in February. Does that need <br /> to contain a dollar amount? <br /> Travis: Will check to see if dollar amount is needed. <br /> Rani: What are the potential implications to operating budget amounts? If <br /> approved, it feels like there is little capacity to come back to ask for more <br /> operating. <br />
