Speaker(s):
Kumlien
Description:
BE IT RESOLVED by the School Board of Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District No. 916, State of Minnesota as follows: 1. The school board of Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District No. 916 hereby approves a long-term facility maintenance program budget for its facilities for the 2025-2026 school year (pay 2025 levy) in the amount of $467,100. The various components of this program budget are attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. Administration is directed to apply to the Commissioner of the Department of Education for approval. 2. Minnesota Statutes, Section 123B.595, Subdivision 3, provides that if an intermediate school district's long-term facility maintenance budget is approved by the school boards of each of the intermediate school district's member school districts, each member district may include its proportionate share of the costs of the intermediate school district program in its long-term facility maintenance revenue application. 3. It is proposed that the proportionate share of the costs of the intermediate school district's long term facility maintenance program for each member school district to be included in its application shall be determined by utilizing a blended rate where 25% of the rate is determined by multiplying the total cost of the intermediate school district long term facility maintenance program times the ratio of the member school district’s net tax capacity to the total net tax capacity of the intermediate school district and 75% of the rate is determined by multiplying the total cost of the intermediate school district long term facility maintenance program times the ratio of ADM utilization by district to the total ADM utilization. The long-term facility maintenance costs shall be funded through an annual levy rather than issuing bonds. 4. Upon receipt of the proportionate share of long-term facility maintenance program revenue attributable to the intermediate school district program, a district shall promptly pay to the intermediate school district the applicable aid or levy proceeds.
Recommended Motion(s):
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve the Long-Term Facility Maintenance Program Budget and authorize the inclusion of those projects in the District's Application for Long Term Facility Maintenance Program Revenue.
