Intergovernmental Meeting
May 7, 2008
Members Attending: Julie Arndtson, Judy Clement-Lee, Greg Eggers, Elizabeth Frueh, Mike Hunter, Maury LeBreck, John MacLennan, Mark Helmer, Superintendent Hulne and Donna Watterson.
Meeting called to order by Mark Helmer at 7:10 p.m.
Motion by LeBreck, seconded by Hunter to adopt agenda as presented. The motion carried.
Motion by LeBreck, seconded by MacLennan to approve the February 13, 2008 meeting minutes. The motion carried.
1. Update the Community Based Four-year-old Kindergarten Program
Superintendent Hulne discussed how the 4-K program will benefit the students, parents and community. We didn't consider this a few years ago because of space issues but now the state has allowed partnerships with local daycares. We have three daycares that are involved Beane Sprouts, Hands, Hearts and Minds, and St. Joseph's.
The daycares will hire teachers and provide space and we will provide the transportation, per pupil funding and curriculum. This increase in student count will actually increase the portion of state aid coming into the district and will help with property tax burden and better prepare children for school.
2. Possible Reopening of the Virginian
The Virginian may open in June.
3. Sidewalk Project by Malone
Mayor Hunter discussed the sidewalk project by Malone. The sidewalk should be approximately eight feet wide so the school district can run equipment down it to remove snow in the winter. Superintendent Hulne requested to be included with Dr. Halverson on the planning of that sidewalk.
4. Discuss Search Survey
The Police Chief was concerned about the student risk survey numbers and wondered if there was anything the Police Department could do to work with the school and/or community to help improve those numbers. Superintendent Hulne asked Mayor Hunter to talk to Joe Pavlichek, Middle School Guidance Counselor and Steve Peterson, High School Guidance Counselor to further explore avenues of cooperation.
5. Review Truancy Ordinance
Mayor Hunter stated that the truancy ordinance now reads that if a student is absent for five days they are truant. Some cities have more serious restrictions and fines. The City will request other cities' truancy ordinances and put something together for our city from that.
6. Lock Boxes at School
Bill Dravis would like to put a lock box on each of the schools so that they would have easier access if there was a fire.
7. Update School Budget 2008-09
Superintendent Hulne discussed the preliminary budget for the 2008-09 school year. All union contracts are settled. We have to under spend the budget this year by $280,000 so we have enough for year four of the levy cap override.
8. Other Items of Mutual Interest
The City Council members are looking for volunteers to work on a sub committee (Parks and Recreation) to make recommendations to the city council.
Clifton is slowly making progress on a comprehensive plan they are working on themselves. They have to prove they are doing cooperative comprehensive intergovernmental work with other neighboring governments.
The School District is having an enrollment projection done for the next ten years. Malone enrollment grew by over fifty students last year. We need to know if that is a trend of just a bubble. We should have the results sometime in June.
9. Set Next Meeting Date and Site
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, August 6, 2008 at 7:00 at Freedom Park.
