PUBLIC HEARING

2014-2015 Budget Hearing
President, Janice Watts, recessed the meeting into a public hearing at 5:06pm.

Stacy Brown said that she changed the capital projects expenditures since the budget workshop. Jim Bays had asked Stacy to show the Board how many staff are funded from local levy dollars. The Board discussed the information she presented.

Jim said he supports the proposed budget, but wants the Board to give some thought to the long-term picture.  He observed that we have quite a bit of new revenue, due to increased allocation from the State.  We are spending it all in the new budget, with some going to reinstate things that were eliminated in years past when serious cuts needed to be made.  At the same time, we are receiving increased local levy money.  As the State allocation increases, as is projected, he feels that in future years we should look toward being able to reduce the local levy that we ask taxpayers to approve. 

President, Janice Watts, closed the hearing and returned to the regular meeting session at 5:24pm.

Approval of Change Order #11
Kelley Wilson included a Change Order Log to his report.  It shows the change order number, date, description, amounts and types of change orders. The types of change orders are: owner requested, design team coordination/value added, design team coordination/non-value added, geo-grid/footings revisions, concealed/unforeseen condition, code required, and other. The majority of change order types so far from the new WHS project are owner requested items that have added value and will save money in the long run. Kelley said we’re about halfway through the contingency fund that they had set for this project. He said we’re about 40% through the job. The change orders will taper off as you get through the project. He feels very comfortable that the amount of change orders and costs are typical and according to usual construction projects. Kelley went over the details of the Change Order #11 summary with the Board, and they discussed it. The Board appreciated the addition of the change order log to the report.

Jim Bays moved to approve Change Order #11.

Jeremy Stuart  yes
Matt Donald  yes
