Facilities PlanlBond Discussion - Scott Woolstenhulme, Chairman Jeff Bird Chairman Bird opened discussion on the District 93 Facilities Plan and future bonding. Finance Committee actuary, Mark Bird, reviewed the current 15 -year facility plan as the District considers upcoming bonding for this coming year. Although a liberal action, it is important to be conservative in the assumptions. Growth assumptions are important in planning for the future. Per a recent Bonneville County market value growth report, current growth rate is 7%; our conservative assumption will be 4%, which will allow bonding without raising the tax levy in 2018. The new 15 -year Facility Plan assumptions are: • Enrollment growth at 3.0% • Need for future schools is based on enrollment thresholds • Increase supplemental and plant facilities levies at I% annual rate • Keep tax increases per $1,000 of $0.30 in 2023 and $0.42 in 2026 • Construction cost inflation = 4% • Market value growth = 4% • Term of future bonds = 17.5 years The new 15 -year Facility Plan scenarios are: Scenario 1 • Leave 6th graders in elementary schools • Build smaller middle schools (1,000 student capacity) • Build now: Elementary with special needs center Scenario 2 • Move 6th graders to middle schools • Build larger middle schools (1,500 student capacity) • Build now: Middle school Scenario 3 • Leave 6th graders in elementary schools for now • Build larger middle schools (1,500 student capacity) • After next middle school is built (about 2021), move in 6th graders • Build now: Elementary with special needs center Currently, the growth in the District is in the north part of the district and in order to alleviate the growth, buildings need to be built to accommodate the areas of growth, not necessarily the whole district. Next steps: In order to have a bond election in August 2017, the bond verbiage is due to the Election office on July 10, 2017. The Board will need to make a decision prior to that date. Public Meetings will be scheduled to encourage public input on which scenario is best for the community. VII.
