Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to review the audit bids. Please see the attached proposals received (6), and financial summary. The School Board has previously reviewed the audit bidder list, cover letter, and specifications. The financial proposals are all within a tight range. The lowest bid over the five year period is Clifton, with Wegner a close second. The current audit firm is Johnson Block. 

Administration is seeking a recommendation from the committee to bring forward to the School Board at the April 10th meeting. Our recommendation will be the lowest bidder, based on a verification of the proposal received. This recommendation would result in a change in the district audit firm.

Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to review the transportation bids. Please see the attached proposals received (3), and financial summary. In addition, please see the attached additional letter from Lamers that we will discuss with the committee.

The current transportation vendor is Lamers. 

Administration is seeking a recommendation from the committee on which path to follow to bring forward a recommendation to the School Board. The first path outlined in the bid timeline was a committee recommendation going to the School Board at the April 10th meeting. The second path outlined in the bid timeline included an interview process, and then a committee recommendation going to the School Board for the May 15th meeting.

Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to review a request from the Wisconsin Youth Company to rent Heritage for the summer of 2017. The School Board has previously approved a $2,400 per building rental fee for the 16-17 after school program. The Wisconsin Youth Company is proposing to run a 10 week camp at Heritage this summer to provide after school care. Dan Carter has been involved in these discussion, and is comfortable with this proposal for this summer. Based on our regular school year rental, the rental fee for the summer would fall somewhere between $2,000 and $2,500.

Administration is seeking a recommendation from the committee on a rental amount to bring forward to the School Board at the April 10th meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at ssummers@waunakee.k12.wi.us or 608-849-2491  Thanks for your time.
