Robert Devine reviewed the bond project status update.  The update is also available on the district’s web site.  He covered projects completed this summer as wells upcoming projects.

 

Mr. Fuentes reviewed the bond expenditures update as of September 30, 2009.  He explained that the district is sold $18 million in bonds in July 2009.  Mr. Fuentes also explained that the district was hoping as part of a lottery to receive the ability to sell additional federally backed bonds, but the district was not selected.  The district will wait until January to decide when to sell additional bonds needed for upcoming projects, about $20 million.  Mr. Fuentes also explained that the district is looking into future project timing and funding availability that might effect how aggressive a timeline future bond building projects will be planned.

 

The committee reviewed with the 2008/2009 Bond Performance Audit.  There were no findings.  The report will be presented to the governing board at the December 1st meeting.

 

The committee asked how this information is reported to the community.  Mr. Fuentes stated that all the committee’s meeting minutes, audits and project updates are posted to the district web site.  He also said that annually the committee must report to the community and that was done last year by advertising in newspapers and school newsletters.  The committee felt that was sufficient to meet the requirements of the law.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 7:18pm.

 

Respectfully submitted,
