Others present were Superintendent Chuck Shackett, Deputy <br />Superintendent Bruce Roberts, Assistant Superintendent Marjean McConnell, Chief Financial/Operations Officer April Burton, Director of Operations Todd Hicks, <br />and Board Clerk Valerie Messick.

The vote was 4 in favor with 0 opposed and 0 abstentions. <br /> <br />IV. Discussion Items <br /> <br />A. Additional State Allocation $2,000,038.00. <br /> <br /> Chairman Lords stated that we should have a public meeting to get ideas on what to do with this money. <br /> <br /> Each furlough day for certified personnel saves the District $180,000 – $200,000 per day. <br /> <br /> Classified personnel had a calendar adjustment not furlough days. If the District were to decide to pay classified employees who work with students for 170 – 180 <br />days they would be paid even though students are only in school for 165 days. They should not receive additional days until the calendar is adjusted to increase <br />student school days. <br /> <br /> Chairman Lords asked April Burton how much of the additional allocation the District should save. She responded that $1.4 million in one-time federal jobs <br />money is included in this year’s budget. Also the salary based apportionment will be cut $470,000 to pay for pay for performance. In light of these facts, April <br />would like to save the entire allocation for next year. Chairman Lords asked if it would be feasible to give back two furlough days. We need to consider the <br />impact of the 4% the state will withhold on the salary based apportionment for next year. <br /> <br /> This additional money is based on the support units and is more than amounts we have seen before. It is 20 support units over previous accounts from the state. <br />It is based on the best 28 weeks of attendance. April should have a report within the next couple of weeks detailing the allocation. <br /> <br /> We need to do something to bring moral up in the District <br /> <br /> April asked the Board where they want the fund balance to be. It is now 3%. <br /> <br /> The consensus was to give back some but save some to offset next year’s decrease in funding. <br /> <br /> If the Board chooses to give back furlough days it will need to make a decision soon because there are only two days in the calendar that could easily be <br />changed. They are August 22, that could be given back as a workday and October 7 that could be given back as an in-service day. <br /> <br />B. Board Work Session Locations. <br /> <br /> The Board asked to change the Ucon work session location to Sandcreek Middle School and the Tiebreaker work session to Rocky Mountain Middle School. <br /> <br /> The possibility of changing the starting time of the regular meetings from 7:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. was discussed. A motion has to be made in a regular or special <br />meeting. Since this meeting is a work session, the start time will be placed on the August 10, 2011 meeting agenda. That meeting’s start time will remain at 7:30 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />C. Board Plant Facilities Assignments <br /> <br /> Chairman Lords made the following assignments for Board members to attend the Facilities Planning Committee Meetings: <br /> <br />July 20 – DeVere Hunt <br />August 3 – Kip Nelson <br />August 17 – Wendy Horman <br />September 7 – Annette Winchester <br />September 21 – Annette Winchester
