Roll Call Those attending were: Trustees Malcolm Goodrich, Rachel Stagg, Sandra Mossman, Kathy Kelker; Superintendent Jack Copps, Clerk Leo Hudetz, Scott Anderson, Nancy Hines, Dan Martin and Thomas Harper. Trustee Dale Getz was excused. The meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. by Chair Goodrich. Chair Goodrich presented a rough draft of the agenda of the Regular Board meeting of November 20, 2006. He stated that he had changed the order of the agenda slightly in that the legal report is toward the end. It is the intent that he will just present information on legal issues and not have an attorney present at the meeting. The Chair stated that there will be a Budgeting for Results update. There is a need to advance the process so to have a conclusion by February or March. After a discussion of the past legislator forum and intent to have another forum soon, it was decided that there would be a Special Board meeting scheduled within the next week or two to define a list of four or five items to propose to the legislators in a united front, one of which will be start-up money for full day kindergarten. November 27th is being considered for the next legislator forum. Members of the community will be invited as well, to include the Mayor, County Commissioners, Chamber Board, and other key business people within the community. Nancy Hines mentioned that presenting the same information to the community would be helpful. Also, the legislatures should be sent the information again once they are actually in Helena. Information will be distributed in advance of the meeting. Chair Goodrich stated that he would like to begin discussing the potential need for a mill levy. Thomas Harper will prepare a budget projection review. Superintendent Copps has done a survey of other AA schools and their legal costs. After discussion, it was decided that this item will be presented to the Planning and Development Committee. Guidelines will need to be developed. Superintendent Copps mentioned Cottonwood Park development. This will be presented to the Board in December. He also mentioned a Heights subdivision access at Castle Rock, off Governor’s Blvd. Trustee Kelker suggested that the meetings with City and County officials be scheduled again on a regular basis. Trustee Mossman stated that the ownership committee is meeting tomorrow and may have a recommendation for the Board. The Chair prefers to wait until December and pair this with the Cottonwood Park agenda item. Clerk Hudetz reminded the Board that there needs to be a hearing scheduled for Jerry Hansen’s complaints. The Chair will announce the hearing officers at the next Board meeting. Career Center staff will do a presentation on the 20th of November as well as be recognized for their recent honor.
