<br />Committee was formed to examine the needs in our district as:it.relates to growth and building of future schools.
<br />The current options are:
<br />First, to move the current 6th graders from the elementary schools to the middle school level and build a
<br />third middle school
<br />• Second, to build one or more new elementary schools
<br />• Third, build additions to four existing elementary schools: Iona, Discovery, Summit Hills, Woodland Hills
<br />Mr, Pymm stated that NBW Architects and Headwaters Construction as the CM/GC have already been selected

<br />both elementary and middle school options. Projected costs do not increase the tax rate and also includes

<br />XI. Financial Presentation - Guy Wangsgard, Chief Financial Officer
<br />Chairman Bird invited Guy Wangsgard to present information from Mark Bird and the District Finance Committee
<br />relating to bonding necessary for any additional building for the district to accommodate the student growth in the
<br />district. Mr. Wangsgard presented information that answers the questions of what is the bonding capacity that
<br />district is now at and what can we can do without raising taxes. Main points were:
<br />a Current bond capacity is $34.5 million without raising taxes
<br />o Conservative assumptions include 4% market value growth, supplemental levy increase to $5,8 million,
<br />and a 17.5 year bond.
<br />• Increasing our bonding capacity would require waiting for the market value growth to increase, raising
<br />the levy rate, lengthening .the bond terms, or using lower or no -coupon bonds.
<br />• Building a middle school is needed due to growth and is the best solution relating to cost.
