Land Sale (3 parcels/Land Lease (1 parcel)
The district has received the paperwork back from the attorney with the wording for the bid packets on the three parcels of
land that the district will be selling and the additional parcel that the district will be leasing. The wording will be published
in the Time News on February 14 and 17, 2026. Biding will open on February 18, 2026. Bids will be accepted in the
district office until March 6, 2026, at 4 p.m. All bids will be opened on March 9, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. The land sale
wording requests the highest bid with no set minimum. The district has the ability to reject any bid. The lease lot will be
published and opened the same time frame as the sale lots. The lots for sale will include a 5% down with the bid.
Trustee Jensen made a motion to approve the resolutions as presented with the amended change including adding the
business managers email address to the posting of the resolutions. Trustee Volle seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Bus Lease
The board had previously approved the purchase of an activity bus for the 2026-2027 budget year. The bus is done and
the district needs to move forward with the lease. The lease is set up with DL Evans Bank on a five-year lease. Purchase
price for the bus is $231,389.05. Annual lease payment amounts will be $50,085.91.
Trustee Volle made a motion to approve the lease agreement through DL Evans bank for a new activity bus. Trustee
Kelly seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Modernization Money Discussion
Modernization money was given to school districts to allow districts to update schools as needed without having to go out
for a bond for the necessary repairs. There are three projects that were previously added to the November bond, which
failed, but can now be covered with modernization money. These include the FIS playground, FES parking lot, and FIS
parking lot. Discussion was held by the board on upgrades to the HVAC in the CTE buildings which is also a need. The
board would like to see if both the FIS playground and FES parking lot can be completed during the summer. There are
other projects that will need modernization money to complete but the district needs to manage the fund responsibly to
use accrued interest as much as possible.
Trustee Jensen made a motion that the board move forward with repairs of FIS playground and rear parking lot as well as
the FES parking lot utilizing modernization money. Trustee Kelly seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Lanting adjourned the meeting at 8:00 a.m.
