C. ECC Grass Solution Vote Debbie Deem 5 m
Ever since completion of the landscaping of the ECC play area, we have had water drainage issues. The landscaping company that installed the sod has tried to rectify the situation.
After installing the cement and the turf, we were anticipating the turf drainage system would help solve the issues, but it did not.
We have consulted with the landscaping company, Ogden Lawn and Landscape, and we agree that we need to put in a French drain and dome the area.
Ogden Lawn and Landscape has bid the project at under $6,800. This includes the installation of the French drain, the addition of soil to dome the area, and covering all with new grass.
We contacted several other landscaping companies, and they either did not respond, or said they were too busy and refused to bid the project.
D. Kitchen Equipment Vote Debbie Deem 5 m
We applied for the Kitchen Equipment grant and were denied. We have received this grant every year for the past few years, so it was not surprising.
The Junior High needs a Combi Oven. They don't have one, and the oven they have is not performing as it should due to age. The combi ovens do a much better and more efficient job with cooking the food.
The Elementary needs a milk cooler. The current milk cooler has been struggling this year, and we have nursed it along.
The Elementary bench tables have proved to be less hardy than needed. As a result many have been broken. We have cannibalized some to repair others. The Bench tables we purchased for the ECC are much more durable.
Proposed that we purchase the following:
Junior High Combi Oven: $38,107.85
Elementary Milk Cooler: $2,592.72
Elementary Cafeteria Tables, QTY 8: $11,529.44
Total amount requested: $52,230.01
Attached are the bids and documentation gathered and created for the grant.

E. Zions Sweep Account Vote Debbie Deem 5 m
Zions Bank has the option for us to create a Sweep account in connection to our checking account. The account works seamlessly with our checking account, but provides a higher interest rate on the funds in the account. Funds flow in and out of the Sweep account to checking as needed.
This will not change our policy for transferring funds to the PTIF account. This will not affect our CD funds.
F. Fee Schedule Vote Debbie Deem 5 m
After providing the public 2 Board meetings to give input on the Fee Schedule changes, it is proposed that the Board approve the updated Fee Schedule to be effective for the FY25 school year.

G. Special Education Digital Assessment Library Vote Elizabeth Callison 5 m
The Special Education department has previously purchased non-digital materials for testing in the range of needs for our students.
It is proposed that they purchase the Digital Assessment Library to reduce the need for paper products as well as reduction of overall costs.
H. Meal Prices for FY25 Vote Debbie Deem 5 m
After reviewing costs, it is proposed that the meal prices remain unchanged for the FY25 year.
Breakfast
Full Student and Adult: $1
Reduced: $0.30
Lunch
Full Student: $2.00
Reduced Student: $0.40
Adult: $3.00
