WORK SESSION
a. Facilities and Bond Discussion
Chairman Lisa Burtenshaw stated this is the first work session since the failed bond election on
November 7, 2017. The Board wanted to discuss what it is going to take to get the 66% needed
to pass a bond. The objective for today is to discuss a path for moving forward, after all, we did
receive 58% yes votes. Chairman Burtenshaw provided Board members with a copy of the
framework for today’s discussions.
Superintendent Boland introduced Mike Hicks, a real estate professional, and Bonneville County
Assessor Blake Mueller who the Board invited to join the discussion today (Matt Morgan, a local
contractor, was unable to attend). Mr. Hicks shared information about housing developments
being planned within the City, shifting populations and declining home inventory. Mr. Hicks
suggested the district provide tours of the existing IFHS facility to get people in it to see what is
really there. Review the financial aspects of the proposal often, it’s important to inform patrons
of the financials, the more information you can provide the better. Mr. Mueller shared that
patrons came into his office on a daily basis to find out how much would their property taxes go
up if the bond passed, and explain to them how levies worked. Discussions were held regarding
the no tax rate increase, scope of work and the overall cost. Chairman Burtenshaw stated the
tax rate approach didn’t really work well, people got confused by tax rate verses taxes. Mr. Hicks
shared that people want to know if you are planning to finance $150 million over 20 years what
would their payment be. Trustee Lent reviewed that the Board started this process almost two
years ago, the Board is looking for validation and to reconcile as a community to come up with a
viable solution. Chairman Burtenshaw thanked Mr. Hicks and Mr. Mueller for their time and
expertise.
Scott Strauhbar and Mandy Boam, Hummel Architects, and Mike Clements, Bateman-Hall,
shared information regarding standard cost per square foot when building a high school facility.
Discussions were held regarding possible revisions to the current design to lower the overall
bond amount, 4% building escalation costs and comparisons from surrounding district’s that
have built new high schools.
Superintendent Boland then reviewed other district facility needs, stating the new
transportation facility is on schedule with the bid opening to be held on February 7, 2018. The
district office remodel has been put on hold, still have the issue of not enough space, but will
need to look at other options. The Career Technical Education Center is in need of a central
location to house all of their programs. Board members asked for another meeting to be
scheduled so they can discuss options for the Career Technical programs. The superintendent
stated the district is also in the process of purchasing land north of town for another elementary
school, and will continue looking for land in the southeast portion of the district for an
elementary school location in the future. The superintendent stated the district will definitely be
looking at extensive elementary school boundary changes if we are not looking to build a new
elementary within the next five years. The discussion also included what to do about the
proposal for wheelchair lifts at Ravsten Stadium.
01/12/2018 D91 Board Minutes Page 2 of 3
Carrie Smith, Director of HR & Business, provided and reviewed a financial report for the current
fund balance and budget reserves. A brief discussion was held.
Chairman Burtenshaw asked board members if they were to run the bond again when do they
feel would be the best time to run it? Discussions included the patron polling information being
gathered in early February and the deadlines for getting it on the ballot in either May, August or
November. Chairman Burtenshaw asked board members to give it some thought. The next
meeting is scheduled for February 14, 2018.
Trustee Wilson made a motion to adjourn. Trustee Lent provided the second. The meeting
adjourned at 2:09 PM.
