2. Review of Joint Facility Use Agreement & Joint Community Services Program Agreement:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith
Description:
On a regular basis, we meet with City representatives to review our Joint Facility Use Agreement and have any revisions approved by our respective board or council.  The City did change the agreement with regard to dragging our fields during the months of April and May as they have always done in the past.  We did not agree with this change, but the Council has taken action authorizing the change and that began on May 1.
The Agreement for a Jointly Sponsored Community Services program has not seen changes and is up for renewal for a two year agreement.  Both agreements will be reviewed at our meeting

3. Update on Auditorium/Community Center Study:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith
Description:
I recently learned that the City grant proposal to Scott County for funds to assist with the survey regarding a YMCA facility was not approved.  A meeting has been set to determine what the next step regarding this project is and how/when a survey will be conducted.  Our original agreement was to contribute up to $3,750 toward the study.  More details on requests for funding will be coming forward.

4. Review of Operating Levy Vote for Fall 2015:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith
Description:
As we have discussed our budget for next year, we also discussed ways we have of influencing our budget.  One option is to make reductions in programming and staffing and we have done that in the amount of $222,050 for next year.  The other option for impacting our budget is to seek additional revenue through an operating levy.
At our last meeting we briefly discussed the timeline for such an endeavor and looked at three amounts to request per pupil unit.  We will continue to review those scenarios in an effort to come to consensus as to the amount of our request and if we should move forward with this question this fall.  The timeline is attached for review along with several FPM Graphs showing the following:  
1.       Shows the Goal reserve, Base Assumptions and $220K in reductions
2.       Shows the Goal Reserve and the 3 referendum amounts.  The numbers include the base assumptions and reductions but the graph for those two items are not shown.
3.       Shows all the scenarios
