IX. Informational

1. David Roberts - Beussink, Hey, Roe, Seabaugh & Stroder (Auditors) - Presenting Audit Findings for 2009-2010 School Year - Members of the audience did not get a copy of the audit. Therefore, the "explanation" didn't mean much. There was a "compliance issue" and a couple of "findings", but the auditor representative indicated the District personnel were already implementing corrective actions.

2. District Architect Dave Mevert and Bonding Agent Kevin Wills were back as promised with a resolution for the BOE's adoption. They presented the copies...to issue alternative funding bonds to finance the addition/work at Cairo Elementary...bonds not to exceed $1.5 million. Mr. Wills emphasized once again that a vote to approve the resolution would not commit the BOE to action...that they could later vote to issue "all, part, or none" of the bonds. They left the resolutions with the BOE for action and subsequent signing and exited the meeting.
