10. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT Dr. Tate reported on the following: Recognized the Marine Corps Junior ROTC for winning first place overall in drill competitions last Saturday, March 31st in Des Moines. Recognized the Central Quiz Bowl Team on winning the Champion title for the Virtual Quiz completion at Iowa State University and the West Bands went to Orlando, Florida for a band competition and the Concert and Jazz band placed first in their division and the Concert Band was name overall Grand Champion. Read a letter from Government Finance Officers Associations notifying him that the District s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year ended 2017 qualifies for GFOA s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. This Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment. He congratulated CFO, Marsha Tangen. Attended the Young Artist Display at the Figge Art Museum and said this is was a great ceremony and great artwork by the students. Met with student groups from three of the four high schools and will meet with the last student group this week to discuss security concerns. He is getting some great ideas and feedback and the students expressed their appreciation for being included in the conversation. Reported that he had reached out to the Governor and leaders in the House and Senate and then reached out to every legislator both the House and the Senate and also reached out to the 165 districts that get less per pupil in funding like Davenport and have only received two replies from people who feel as strongly as we do about security in our schools, but he will keep trying. 11. OTHER ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION 11.01 Approval to 2017-18 Budget Amendment Motion by Director Beck and seconded by Director Potts the board amended the 2017-18 certified budget in the following areas for the following amounts: Instruction $128,256,870, Total Support Services $68,758,671, Non-instructional Programs $10,543,346, and Total Other Expenditures $30,207,929. Discussion: Ms. Tangen explained the two areas where amounts were changed was Total Support Services and Total Other Expenditures. The Total Support area was increased by $1.2 million dollars and included in this line item are expenses related to departments outside of the classroom such as expenses for general and business administration, central office, plant and operations, transportation, and non-instructional building expenses. Approximately $300,000 of that was attributed to plant and operations and that was due to the increase in construction projects taking place. There was $200,000 attributed to the management fund where it was re-estimated and the expenses had to be increased by $200,000 and the remainder fit into the other categories. The Total Other Expenditures category went up by $5 million dollars and $3.2 million of that was in the SAVE Fund and $2 million was in the PPEL fund and again it was due to an increase in the schedule for construction projects. 11.02-Approval Proposed 2018-19 Budget Motion by Director DeSalvo and seconded by Director Hayes the board adopted and certified the Budget and Tax levy rate for the 2018-19 fiscal year as published and presented. The proposed property tax levy rate per $1000 taxable valuation will be $15.45640 and resources and requirements are estimated at $261,661,462. Discussion: Director Beck asked about the increase in Line 26-General Administration and Ms. Tangen explained this is related coding corrections. President Johanson asked how much money is in reserve fund and whether there is a limit for this fund. Tangen said there is 17 million dollars in reserve and there is no limit on this fund but there is a percentage limit on the cash reserve levy. 8

Director Beck asked what if the board doesn t pass the transportation changes for a savings of $300,000 and Tangen responded that whatever budget reductions that are planned do not take place then we will have to find something else to take its place. Director DeSalvo asked about the current levy rate which is $15.83985 and why would we lower this amount when the district is making budget cuts. Tangen explained that the cash reserve levy is what is being impacted by this change in the levy rate. The cash reserve levy does not bring spending authority with it and so when looking at the budget and making reductions it is not because we don t have the money, it is because we don t have the spending authority. Director Mayfield stated that the benefit is to the taxpayer and Tangen said that was correct. President Johanson clarified that this vote is specifically on the tax levy rate. Vote: Ayes: DeSalvo, Hayes, Mayfield, Potts, Beck and Johanson. Nays: Gosa. Motion carried. 11.03-Approval of Budget Guarantee Motion by Director DeSalvo and seconded by Director Potts the board approved the following resolution: RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Davenport Community School District, will levy property tax for fiscal year 2018-19 for the regular program budget adjustment as allowed under section 257.14, Code of Iowa. Discussion: Director DeSalvo asked Ms. Tangen to explain Budget Guarantee. She said that the state puts in their formula a guarantee that if the dollars a district generates on the per pupil times the enrollment does not result in at least 1% more than what the district received the previous year the state will guarantee a 1% level. Since the district had a decline in enrollment last year and this is multiplied by per pupil the district was well below the 1%, so by approving this agenda item, the district is guaranteed a 1% increase from last year s funding. The amount of the guarantee is all property tax generated and the state aid does not play a part and in the resolution this amount has been included in the levy rate from the previous motion. DeSalvo said the bottom line is that state legislators are not providing enough funding to prevent us from having to close a school and ultimately the funding has to come from the taxpayers. She encouraged everyone to register to vote. Director Mayfield said he appreciates what is being discussed but stated let s say we got equal funding tomorrow. We went from 18,000 students to 15,000 students and this is not being talked about. He stated the problem is bigger than equal funding and that the board needs to discuss declining enrollment over the last 10 years. He said he would like to see the board talk more about declining enrollment than equal funding. Student board member, Madison Cousins, responded to Director Mayfield stating that equal funding won t solve the whole problem but it would go a long way in helping the district draw in more students. 11.04-Open Enrollment Denial Appeals Motion by Director Potts and seconded by Director Hayes the board upheld the Superintendent s decision to deny open enrollment between districts based on the District s Diversity Plan for the students who have appealed as presented. Discussion: Dawn Anderson-Rascher presented information concerning open enrollment data. Dr. Tate acknowledged this is the hardest time of the year and he wishes the district could approve these requests but the Board has approved the Diversity Plan and as long as we have the plan we need to follow the plan. Dr. Tate stated the he had reviewed every appeal that was submitted and investigated medical and other situations and determined that the district can satisfy all the needs for these students so did not make any exceptions. Vote: Ayes: Potts, Hayes, Beck, Mayfield, DeSalvo and Johanson. Abstained: Gosa. Motion carried. 9

11.05-Approval of Contract-$75,000 Retro-Commissioning at Central Motion by Director DeSalvo and seconded by Director Potts the board approved the contract with Baker Group for retro-commissioning School in the amount of $75,000. Discussion: Director Gosa asked about this agenda item being on the agenda again since it was voted down at the last meeting. President Johanson said there was a request from a board member to put it back on the agenda and this is allowed by Roberts Rules of Order and asked Mr. Maloney to provide some background about the discussion at the last meeting. Maloney referred to the additional that he provided to address some of the questions asked at the last meeting on why CLEAResult, which is an engineering firm, would do the assessment and then a different engineering firm would be hired to do the actual retro-commissioning work. He explained that CLEAResult can t do the actual work because they are the party who, on behalf of MidAmerican, verifies the energy efficiency work recommended was done according to engineering standards and the energy savings are validated so it would be a conflict of interest. The Baker Group was selected to perform the retro-commissioning and that the district must choose from a list of firms that are enrolled in MidAmerican s Trade Ally program. CLEAResult is the contractor hired by MidAmerican to administer an energy efficiency program and conduct the assessment of buildings. This firm has conducted all the assessments in the district as part of our energy efficiency initiative that was started last year. Once CLEAResult completes the assessment they provide a report on recommended energy efficiency measures that the district can undertake that would save money. In this case and several others, one of the things recommended is what is called retro-commissioning of a building. The retro-commissioning of West High School was completed last year and as a result of the retro-commissioning of West the energy consumption at this building has declined by 20% each month. On an annualized basis this will represent approximately $32,000 of continued energy savings which is savings to the General Fund. Also, the retro-commissioning at North High School is currently underway. Director Gosa asked if Baker Group will be doing all the work or just telling us what we need to have done and Maloney said it would be combination of both. They may find repair and maintenance items which would require the appropriate contractor to fix. Gosa asked if we really need someone else to tell us how to save energy and feels sometimes the district wastes money on stuff like this and his vote will be no. President Johanson stated he understands Gosa concerns and said he felt much the same way last year with the West retro-commissioning, but said he has come to accept this is the way it is and MidAmerican is a valued partner to the district and they are overseeing this program with Mr. Maloney and this is saving the money in the general fund and is the right thing to do. Maloney also noted the district has received thousands of dollars in rebates and incentives from this program from MidAmerican and the district now has a demonstrative record of reducing energy consumption and saving general fund energy dollars. Director DeSalvo stated this will cost the district $75,000 but there is also a rebate of over $33,000 which almost covers half the cost and Maloney said that was correct. Vote: Ayes: DeSalvo, Potts, Mayfield, Hayes, Beck and Johanson. Nays: Gosa. Motion carried. 10

11.06-Approval of Creative Arts Academy Lease Motion by Director Beck and seconded by Director Gosa the board approved the lease of the Eastern Iowa Community College space at 306 West River Drive at a cost of $250,000 annually for the Creative Arts Academy. Discussion: Dr. Tate explained the need for this new space and board members voiced their overwhelming support for the project. 11.07-Approval of Timeline for Closing a School Motion: Director Potts moved to approve the Timeline for Closing a School and motion seconded by Director Hayes. Discussion: Dr. Tate noted that everything in the timeline is required by board policy except the public forums but he believes the public forums are important. One of the more important dates on the timeline is September 10th, which is the date the board adopts a resolution stating their intent to close a school. That is the stake in the ground saying we are looking at closing a school and everything up to that point has lead us to believe that this is the right decision. However, there are still public hearings, exchanges of more information, continued discussions by the board, and two more votes to confirm the decision after this date. Tate noted that he is expanding by about 5 months the normal timeframe required by board policy. He will be providing worksheets that he and his administrators have used to make the consideration for closing a school and it will have options on it and all the information required by the policy which includes 7 different areas that need to be addressed so it will consist of lots of data, comments and information for the different options and then these options can be discussed by the board the late spring and summer. He said there has been lots of questions about how the K-6 will look and this will be included in this information. Director Beck emphasized for the public that this vote is only for the timeline and does not mean the board is voting on closing a school. Director Mayfield pointed out that June is not the best time for parents to attend a public forum and suggested September would be probably be a better time. Dr. Tate said we can add an additional forum for September. Motion to Amend: Director Hayes moved to amend the Timeline for Closing a School to add an additional public forum in September. Motion seconded by Director DeSalvo. Vote for amendment: All Ayes motion carried. 11.08-Approval of Bid for West High School Corridor Renovation 2018 Motion by Director DeSalvo and seconded by Director Hayes the board approved the award of bid of the West High School Corridor 2018 Project including alternate one and two to the lowest, responsible and responsive bidder, Sheets General Construction in the amount of $616,200.
