7.3.2.1. Consideration to Approve Petition of Landowners for Detachment and Annexation From One School District to Another School District
Presenter:
Rich Hanson
Description:
Charles Kotasek, Jr. and Brenda Kotasek wish to construct a machine shed for agricultural use on an existing farm site. This farm site is located in a wooded terrain with limited area for the building site to permit a 50 foot set back required by Nicollet County Environmental Services. In order to obtain permits to build, both tracts of land need to be under the same taxing authority thereby necessitating detaching this tract of land from the Le Sueur School District and annexing it to the St. Peter School District.
The tract of land is a very small one and will not effect our school district funding. I, along with the the Finance & Facilities Committee recommend approval of the petition.

9.1. Levy Certification Report
Presenter:
Pat Goggin
Description:
This is the first step in the levy process, we need to approve the maximum levy at this point. The summary page is included. The state can still adjust these numbers. The actual, final levy is not set until the December 2nd meeting. At that point all of the adjustments will have been made. It is at that point that we can decide what amounts we will levy for in the different program areas. This current levy is showing a 2.8% increase in our 2013 pay 2014 levy as compared to last year. These are still very preliminary figures at this point and will fluctuate as more accurate information is gathered. We will look at these numbers in more depth over the next couple of board meetings.
