Mh,Lre7F:S OF B-375 ai,LEff 131 226/ • Personnel 00-265 Hines moved and Scharber seconded the motion to approve the addition of an ECSE educational assistant at Handke for the first grade level for 7.5 hours per week for 12 weeks at an approximate cost of$1,392; and approved the addition of an ECSE educational assistant for a student at Parker for 3 hours per day for 12 weeks at an approximate cost of$2,782. The motion was unanimously approved. • Joint Powers Agreement for Community Recreation Charlie Blesener and Mark Strater, the School Board Representative on the Joint Powers Board, reported that the Community Education Advisory Board has recommended that our district not be a part of the joint powers agreement but that the district enter into an agreement with the Community Recreation Board in which both parties commit to non- duplication of programming efforts in exchange for rent-free use of each entity's facilities. They reported that the School Board is no longer the fiscal agent and that we no longer house the offices for the program. Mr. Blesener stated that he is concerned about the perception of not being part of the agreement, but that this change would not affect services. Director Swanson asked for a response from the Community Recreation Board and raised concern about the fairness and equity of the rent-free agreement. Chair Strater asked that the Board receive a copy of the new proposed agreement. This issue will be brought back for discussion at the March 22 meeting. It was suggested that it also be discussed at the Joint Meeting of the School Board and the City of Elk River. • • The 2001/2002 Proposed Calendar Chris Sandusky from the Meet and Confer Committee presented a draft calendar for the 2001/02 school year. The School Board will be asked to approve the calendar at the March 22 meeting. • Policy Changes for Purchasing Materials Superintendent Flannery requested that changes be made to the Executive Limitations Policy and the Purchasing Materials and Services Policy that would allow the administration to purchase equipment or supplies with a value of$50,000 or less, rather than $25,000 or less, without having to follow a bidding process. A recent Minnesota law change increased the amount for bids to $50,000 or more. These recommendations for change will go to the Board's Human Resource/Finance Committee for their recommendation. • Legislative Bill 00-266 Scharber moved and VanBlarcom seconded the motion to endorse the bill being proposed by Representative Kathy Tingelstad relating to high performance school facilities. The motion was unanimously approved. •
