March 13, 2013 at 8:00 PM - REGUALR SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

Description:  Upon more study and discussion of this request Attorney Paul Ampe has determined that this Deed involves approximately 20 feet of property not the 2 feet we first believed.  Regardless, after viewing the property and determining any possible expansion of that bus garage would most likely be to the West not to the East where this property sits, it would be the recommendation of the superintendent of go ahead with the quick claim deed but an no expense to the district.  Therefore, any surveying or expense for the Deed would be the responsibility of the property owner who is requesting the Deed. The exception would be the expenses of using Mr. Ampe.  This would be a cheaper option that moving the fence or having to maintain the property in the future.

Description:  Attached is a list of items discussed as possible Bond referendum items and a timeline going forward.

Description:  This MOU is between the AFT and the School District to

Description:  When Terry Quist retired as Alexandria’s
Superintendent of Schools I was asked by the rest of the CMETS superintendents to step
in as “Presiding Superintendent” replacing Terry. While I did not realize it at
the time I agreed to do this, there is a stipend paid for this additional duty.  It is $5,000
per year plus FICA and TRA. CMETS schools are billed this amount as part of their
yearly CMETS assessment and Alexandria, as the fiscal agent of CMETS, simply paid
Terry the stipend through their payroll..  Now with me in the position
they have to flow the money through our District which then pays me through payroll.  I
 did not want to do this without full disclosure to the Board and an MOU addressing this
flow through expenditure.  Therefore there is an MOU for your review and approval
attached. Note that it covers next year as well but I believe it is better that the
superintendent of the fiscal agent for CMETS serve in this role.  Therefore, I
am hoping Mr. Lahn, the new Alexandria superintendent, after having gotten the lay of the land, is ready to take this position over next year. If not the MOU is in place.
