6. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Christina Van Horne – Mayer Resident

• Supports the aquatic center

• Her daughter attends BMHS and is a member of the swim team (qualified for State)

• Her daughter sustained a gymnastic injury and her doctor recommended swimming for therapy

• College scholarship opportunities will be available for swimmers

• Her two year old son could take swim lessons at he pool, and her disabled mother could benefit from the therapy pool

• She is willing to volunteer one weekend a month to work at the pool

Patti Eller – BMHS Teacher and Swim Coach

• Supports the aquatic center

• Was a competitive swimmer for 14 years – up to National level

• Felt that the building of the pool has not been looked at fairly, that only negative and false information has been presented, and that there was not a feasibility study done

• She and her husband prepared a study that will show how the pool can make money

• Created a schedule for pool use

• Education is gained by competition, defeat, and personal challenges, not just from a textbook

• Encouraged the Board to keep all of this in mind while making a decision as critical as this one

Anthony Eller – General Engineering Contractor / Construction Consultant

• Supports the aquatic center

• Conducts feasibility and economic studies

• Everyone is worried about costs, but have not looked into how money can be made

• A pool is the most community friendly facility a school can own

• When looking at activities for a pool, 17 of the 21 that he quickly thought of were community related activities that would be revenue producing

• The pool is not just for competition

• He suggested many income producing programs (health and safety, non-school athletic activities, open swim, pool parties) – generating approximately $206,000 annually and suggested that HUSD run the programs

• The handout he and Patti Eller prepared is available at the District Office for public review

Kymothy Moore – Community Member and BMHS English Teacher

• Supports the aquatic center

• Pollution is caused by a number of Prescott Valley residents that drive to Prescott to swim

• The pool would increase the fitness level of the community

• Water safety classes could be available for community children – Mountain Valley Splash is inadequate and not appropriate for children (too cold and windy)

• She feels that swimming helps her stay young and makes her a better teacher

Shelli Pettit – Proponent of Proposition 13

• Her family has invested heavily in the community and are property owners

• About half of her building is vacant

• Expenses, particularly taxes have risen substantially

• Rents have decreased

• She wants to see the community remain strong

• In regards to the pool discussion, her friend’s son was recently laid off from the Scottsdale pool for budget reasons

Jack Fowler – Community Member and Realtor

• Taxes on his building went up 36%

• He is not the only investor in the area that is concerned about the tax rate; several people have called him and want to join in the effort

• He realizes that many people would like to have an aquatic center, but doesn’t know how the tax payers can afford it, there is no money left after the tax increase this year

• He is looking to the Board to help rectify the tax problem

• From the Governing Board brochure he read that the Board is to develop an educational program consistent with community resources

• Back to the year 2000, business was good, not anymore

• Tax payers have consistently supported what the District wanted in the past, now he is looking for relief from the Board

• The aquatic center cannot be maintained after it is built

Bill Riviere – President of the Board for the Prescott Pirates Club Swim Team (PST) - USA Swimming

• Supports the aquatic center and Patti Eller as high school swim coach

• The team currently swims at Yavapai College

• The team consists of 45 swimmers between the ages of four and eighteen

• PST is interested in renting the facility to conduct a variety of programs

• He tried to become a member of the Steering Committee. As a member of USA Swimming there are certain advantages for projects such as providing expertise and support to aquatic centers at no cost to the committee, if a USA Swimming member team is associated. His attempt to join the committee was unsuccessful

• USA Swimming offers expertise and consultation in the areas of programming, design, construction and operation.

• Now a year later, he has been approached to manage the pool, and to bring USA Swim to the pool to cover the estimated $300,000 and ongoing cost to maintenance and operation

• He would need to bring USA in and do due diligence on the project (now a year later) and figure the financial sustainability based on the current design

• Analysis that would be done: look at the project vision; community needs assessment; financial support; design requirements and limitations, and; budget assumptions

• He wished that USA had been involved from the start because all of this requires time

• If the project moves forward, PST looks forward to working with the committees to create a successful project

• The rate has been set and there is nothing that the building owners can do

• Business are being driven out

• Taxes on his lot in Humboldt went from $1,600 to $2,800 in one year – the lot next to his was foreclosed

• The buildings are not worth anything, yet the taxes are increasing

David Garrett – Commercial Property Owner

• Owns thirteen properties in Prescott Valley

• Concerned about property tax rate

• When there is an amendment to increase taxes for schools he always votes yes; he wants good schools for children

• It would be nice to have a pool, but was shocked when he received his tax bill; the school portion of the tax bill increased 36%

• He has decreased the rent for most of his tenants by 50% in order to stay in business

• One property that has recently become vacant has an increased tax of 48% for the school portion alone

• Six other properties in Prescott Valley did not have a tax increase

• He can’t raise the rent on struggling tenants

• The tax burden is unfair to all commercial property owners; the increase should apply to homeowners as well

Kimberlee Lenz – Parent of BMHS Swimmer

• Supports the aquatic center

• Her son is a first year swimmer; he participated in other sports at the middle school but did not commit to a second season

• Swimming and being a part of the team has given her son confidence

• Her husband is working in Iraq because there are no jobs here

• Her son uses the indoor pool at Stoneridge so that he can train year round

8. OLD BUSINESS

A. Update and discussion of the District’s bond funds – presented by Mike LaValle, Stone and

Youngberg, LLC

Mr. LaValle reported that all the bonds have been sold and that there is still money to spend. His report included an update on the secondary assessed valuation and tax rates that are affecting the District, and ideas to mitigate the tax rate. He stated that we are in a declining assessed value situation across the State. Discussions like this are being held by school boards across the state, and difficult decisions have to be made. He provided data based on various assumptions, and offered ideas in each case. His report was for discussion only. Assessed value for the following fiscal year will be available in February. At that point, the Board may decide to take action.

A twelve page report was provided for the Board and is available at the District Office for public review.

The following is a brief summary of the report:

Page 2 - Secondary Assessed Valuation for Fiscal Years 2009/10 and 2010/11

• Shows who pays taxes, by property class and value, within the District boundaries

• Data included:

o Percent change

o 2009/10 Net secondary assessed value

o 2010/11 Net secondary assessed value

o Percent change

Mr. Moody believed that had the levy stayed at the same dollar amount, the tax rate for commercial property would have increased 25%. Mr. LaValle confirmed Mr. Moody’s statement.

The Board will have the opportunity to look at updated numbers in February or March. Mr. LaValle stated that if the Board is thinking of restructuring bonds, the District should contact the firm in February for data to be available in March, and that restructuring should be done before July 1, 2011.

Mr. Moody commented that he wished that the people who had spoken about taxes during the public participation portion of the meeting had stayed for Mr. LaValle’s presentation.

B. Update, discussion and possible action on the Aquatic Center B-Bond project

Superintendent Stanton reported that he has been in contact with possible users. USA Swimming is interested in using the pool and working with the District on the project. The YMCA is interested; a meeting will be scheduled after the new YMCA Director is in place.

A representative from The Trust (District liability insurance carrier), Klissa, provided information to Dr. Stanton about open swim; additional insurance would need to be purchased. He also spoke with legal counsel regarding the requested variance related to the pool depth; if the project is sanctioned by ADEQ, the District would not incur additional liability. The handicap slope into the therapy pool and increasing the size to accommodate more users are part of the redesign discussion.

Scott Paulsen appreciated the handout from the Patti and Anthony Eller, and wished he would have had it prior to voting on the pool. Mr. Paulsen asked if any partners are confirmed, or if we have any signed agreements. Dr. Stanton replied that there are interested parties, but there are not any signed agreements. Mr. Paulsen’s perspective on building the pool may have been better if the District wouldn’t continue to lose one hundred students per year. Even if the District gained thirty students because of the pool, we are still down seventy students, and we don’t know when it will stop.

Shelly Damschroder stated that everyone knows where she stands on the pool. She noted that those who support the pool are very passionate and show up to the Board meetings. People who voice concerns (newspaper blogs) don’t normally attend the meetings. She received an email today from Georgeanne Hannah in support of the aquatic center; it was well written and she had good ideas. Ms. Damschroder commented that $400,000 has already been spent on designs and plans. She is still against paying for design improvements, but has been told this is unavoidable. She appreciated the report provided by Mr. and Mrs. Eller and referred to their projected income to be $206,000, but didn’t see any guarantees. If the programs were conducted by the District there would be more of a profit. She mentioned the football field where organizations want to use the field, but don’t want to pay the fee. The same may be true for the pool.

Ms. Damschroder agreed that sports and extra-curricular activities help to keep kids in school. Important lessons are learned through sports, lessons just as important as those learned in the classroom. She is not ready to “kick the project to the curb”. She felt that Ms. Hannah offered a good solution in forming a committee in support of the aquatic center. The District has looked for paying partners; this is the problem. If the people who support the aquatic center are this passionate, Ms. Damschroder is willing to give them three months to secure committed partners who will sign an agreement. She is not willing to fund $200,000 - $300,000 from the District’s M&O budget for upkeep of the pool; although she is willing to take some from that budget.

Dr. Stanton has been hired as the District’s new Superintendent, and she wants this project off of his plate. He has not complained about it, but she wants him to concentrate on academic achievement and other pressing issues. She likes the idea of a committee, but not one that he is in charge of.

Richard Adler stated that he voted for the pool in January. Over the course of the last few months, as the economy and student enrollment continues to decline, his concerns became more and more acute regarding the M&O costs. This is the toughest issue he has voted on as a Board member. He thought that the proposed design changes were a part of the original design when it was voted on in January; it was very clear from the January meeting that this project was to be a community pool available every day of the week. Financially, this is the only way it could be done. This type of project needs to benefit the entire community. He does not feel that it is fair that the District be asked to pay for the design changes, and understands that there might be a way to get around this. Originally, personnel costs were projected to be covered through community usage and partnerships. We knew that some of the maintenance costs would have to be covered by the District. In reviewing the Eller report, there may be other ways to look at this.

Mr. Adler agreed that this project needs to be removed from Dr. Stanton’s plate, regardless of what the Board decides to do. Dr. Stanton needs to focus on other things. He suggested paying for a feasibility study from Bond proceeds. This may not need to be done at this point, but can be discussed. There will be uncertainty no matter what as the District looks forward; and questioned if users will really be willing to pay for use of the pool. He also felt that the pool needs to be as educationally oriented as possible.

Mr. Adler had the opportunity to talk to Ms. Hannah earlier today. Ms. Hannah has had personal experience with swimming activities, as has her son. Knowing that there are many people in the community who have expertise in this area and would be willing to help, she offered to form a Partners of the HUSD Aquatic Center Committee to find these partners. Her family and others like hers would be happy to make this plan happen. She has experience on other boards and has ideas that have not yet been investigated. He felt the committee is a great idea and that the project should be put on hold until more information is available, taking advantage of community members with expertise who are willing to do this. The B-Bond Steering Committee should also be involved. He requested that information be brought back to the Board in three months.

Howard Moody commented that there has been a lot of talk about this project being good for the students and the community. What we haven’t seen are the people who spoke in favor of the pool attend Town Council meetings to speak in favor of the aquatic center during public participation, and encourage them to become involved in the process and to work with us. Mr. Moody, Mr. Marks, and Dr. Stanton met with some members of the Town Council and Larry Tarkowski, Town Manager, where they expressed their support. Mr. Moody has not yet seen the support forthcoming.

Gary Marks thanked Mr. and Mrs. Eller for their report. He suggested that people review the minutes of the January 19th meeting if they did not attend. He was in favor then, and is in favor now. He felt that the focus of the project has shifted to whether or not it is revenue generating. This is the only Bond project that has been questioned about being revenue neutral as it relates to M&O. We are not unique in the loss of student count, this is happening all across the State. The decision on the project was the right one in January, and is the right one today. When it is said that the pool has to generate revenue, it is saying that there is no benefit to the students of the District. He suggested the possibility of students paying a $20 or $30 aquatic fee; this is no different than any other fee. When it comes to the loss of students, the aquatic center is not going to change that. He added that if HUSD Administrators and staff would bring their children back to this District instead of going to other districts, the loss of over one hundred students would be neutralized.

Mr. Marks stated that this project should be taken away from Dr. Stanton. The next step is to meet with the Bond Steering Committee to form a volunteer “partners” sub-committee. Information gathered by the committees is to be brought back to the Board for action.

He commented that his understanding is that the $25,000 design fee change will be covered by contractors and sub-contractors; no cost to the District, guaranteed.

Richard Adler added that the District should take advantage of USA Swimming and their expertise.

Shelly Damschroder addressed Ms. Lopez (B-Bond Steering Committee Chairperson) asking her to get committed partners who will sign an agreement; a letter of intent including a long-term partnership. Mr. Adler referred to the list of potential partners in the January 19th Board packet. Mr. Marks felt that too many stipulations will make it virtually impossible to get committed partners.

Mr. Marks spoke about a program offered by Arizona Public Service that provides solar service to school buildings that is owned, operated, and maintained by the utility company with no front costs to the schools with a guaranteed purchase price per kilowatt hour for twenty years. This rate would be about thirty percent lower than the rate that we are currently paying. The District has the ability to look at this program for three of our facilities each year.

This item was for discussion only. No action was taken.

C. Discussion and possible action regarding the review (by the Yavapai County Attorney) of the

Intergovernmental Agreement for the Formation of the Yavapai County Forest Management

Association by and between Humboldt Unified School District, other Yavapai County school

districts and the Yavapai County School Superintendent.

Dr. Stanton reported that the Intergovernmental Agreement between HUSD and the Yavapai County Forest Fee Management Association was approved by the Board at an earlier Board meeting. The County Attorney, upon approval, will review the IGA for both parties. The signing of a Waiver of Conflict of Interest is required.

Richard Adler moved to approve the waiver of the conflict of interest and authorize the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office to proceed with review of the Forest Fee Intergovernmental Agreement between HUSD, other Yavapai County school districts, and the Yavapai County School Superintendent. Howard Moody seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

9. NEW BUSINESS

A. Request for overnight, out of state travel for Bradshaw Mountain Middle School eighth

grade honors Science students and their teacher, Gail Pereira, to Six Flags Magic Mountain

in Valencia, CA, in April of 2011.

Gail Pereira, BMMS Science Teacher, reported that her 8th Grade Honors Science Class would like to attend an experimental physics trip to Magic Mountain to gather and analyze real-life data as the physics occurs on the rides. Included in the packet of information was information about the trip, academic standards, financial costs, funding sources, and number of students and chaperones.

Richard Adler moved to approve the trip to Magic Mountain for the 8th Grade Honors Science Class, with the funds coming completely from fund raising activities. Shelly Damschroder seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

B. Request for overnight, out of country travel for Bradshaw Mountain High School French students and their teacher, Michele Powers, to Paris, France in early June, 2011, for nine days.

Principal Dan Streeter and teacher, Michelle Powers reported that EF Tours has built into each tour educational and cultural activities for which students can receive high school credit. Upon completion of an EF Tour, students will be more confident and more enthusiastic about their French studies, as well as more knowledgeable and fluent. They will be able to use much of what they have studied in class. No amount of book work can ever compare to or replace the experience of being in the country where a different language is spoken and a different culture is lived-out. Travel outside of one’s own country is an invaluable tool to help students become more aware, tolerant, mature, self-confident, and on-the-way to becoming fluent in another language.

Cynthia Windham, Finance Director, commented that the trip can partially be funded by tax credit donations.

Shelly Damschroder requested that any student with behavioral problems not be allowed to attend. She added that trips such as these are a great cultural experience for those students who can afford them.

Scott Paulsen questioned how may chaperones will attend. Ms. Powers stated it will be one adult to every six students, and there will be an EF Tour employee accompanying the tour.

Richard Adler moved to approve overnight, out-of-country travel to Paris, France with EF Tours for select students and their sponsor (BMHS French Teacher Michele Powers), in early June, 2011, for nine days. Shelly Damschroder seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

10. PERSONNEL

A. Discussion and possible action regarding a request for an unpaid leave of absence for

classified Employee, Rhonda Rossi.

Philip Young, Human Resources Director, reported that the administration is recommending an unpaid leave of absence for employee, Rhonda Rossi, for the afternoon of November 23, November 24, 29, 30, and December 1, 2010.

Howard Moody moved to approve an unpaid leave of absence for employee Rhonda Rossi for November 23rd (p.m. only), 24th, 29th, 30th, and December 1st, 2010. Richard Adler seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

11. ANNOUNCEMENTS
