Presentation by Lewis & Roca on Bond Legalities. Mr. Jim Giel, representative from the law
firm of Lewis & Roca, attorneys for the District, and Dr. Judy Richardson,
representative from Peacock Hislop, bond attorneys for the District, gave a
presentation on the legalities involved in a Bond Election and the limits
placed upon the School District and its employees. Item VII. B. Bond Election. Mr. Bob Flach, Assistant Superintendent
for Finance and Operations, and Mr. Bill Johnson, Assistant Superintendent
for Facilities and Operations, discussed the Bond Election and the amount of
the Bond. Mr. Carey moved that this Board
approve four bond projects, High School #6, Coronado, Arcadia, Saguaro,
Chaparral, in the amounts estimated and to include up to the amount estimated
for Mountainside, the gymnasium for Ingleside, the gymnasium for Mohave and
up to $6.8 million for Sierra Vista Alternative Education School. Mrs. Avianantos seconded the motion. Discussion ensued on the components
of the bond package. President Carey
stated that the Board is basically including all of the various things that
they have all discussed over the last two months, realizing that the District
does not have to spend this money, this is authorization only. If the District does not need the space at
Mountainside, it does not have to be built; if only half is needed, only half
could be built. But, this will
authorize the District to build it, should it be determined the need is
there. Mrs. Newby stated that she was
excited about the bond in regard to equity in the gymnasiums and high
schools; but felt she could not support this motion as presented because, in
her opinion, an addition to Mountainside Middle School would alter the
infrastructure. She did not feel the
addition was warranted and that additional funds should not go to
Mountainside any more than the other middle schools in the District. The motion was approved with a vote
of 3 – 1. Mrs. Newby voted nay. Item VII. C. Budget. Mr. Bob Flach, Assistant Superintendent
for Finance and Operations, and Catherine Rivera, Director of Language
Acquisition Services, discussed the proposed 2001-02 Budget in regard to the
growth and need for language minority students. At 10:16 PM, Mrs. Newby moved to
adjourn the meeting. Mr. Goldstaub
seconded the motion. The motion was approved and the
meeting was adjourned. Dated this 5th
day of June 2001. The Governing Board of the Scottsdale
Unified School District #48 ABSENT
