ACTIONS No action items were presented. REPORTS Three Rivers Boundary Recommendation – Dr. Susana Reyes
Board Meeting Minutes January 22, 2019 3
The purpose of this report was to provide the board a recommendation for the Three Rivers Elementary School boundaries. The school is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2019 and will open in August of 2019. With the 2017 bond construction work underway, revisions to school boundaries for elementary and middle school are needed. Three Rivers Elementary is scheduled to open in August 2019 followed by Columbia River Elementary and Middle School #4 in August 2020, and Stevens Middle School Replacement in January 2021. The boundary revision work began in May 2018 with an online survey and board study session resulting in the guiding principles. A committee of district staff and community used the guiding principles to developed initial boundary scenarios. In collaboration with JUB Engineering consultant, Spencer Montgomery, the boundary committee developed draft boundary scenarios for Three Rivers Elementary, Columbia River Elementary, Middle School #4, and Stevens Middle School Replacement. Community meetings took place in November 2018 which offered stakeholders an opportunity to review and provide feedback on draft scenarios. The draft scenarios and feedback form were also available online. Feedback was received from parents, staff, students, and community members and was reviewed and analyzed along with student enrollment projection data. Board study sessions and board meetings have included boundary revision work updates along with review and discussion regarding the work and the draft scenarios. For this report, the committee is providing the Board with a recommendation for boundaries for Three Rivers Elementary which opens its doors to students in August 2019. The boundary revision work will continue for Columbia River Elementary, Middle School #4, and Stevens Middle School. Further review of information and recommendations for boundaries for these schools will be provided in future updates. Mr. Christensen reiterated that it is recommended for scenario B.2 be the boundary selection for the new Three Rivers Elementary. The next steps for this selection will be for the Board to take action on February 12th approving scenario B.2. Mr. Christensen noted that the committee is coming to the Board with these recommendations after doing extensive research and would like to go with the recommendations that the committee has presented to the Board. Encourages the Board to consider the size of the school. They have tasked the committee with providing these recommendations. The Board thanked the committee for their hard work and time they have invested researching and recommending each of the boundary scenarios. Dr. Richardson suggested to survey the 5th grade students that will be moving to the new school as 6th graders and providing an option for parents to stay at their current school rather than moving schools their last year of elementary.
Board Meeting Minutes January 22, 2019 4
Mr. Lehrman would like to have an additional boundary option that would look at a more balanced brick and mortar capacity in year 2020. He expressed concern that Livingston is still at 25% over capacity and the older schools have less likely to accommodate over capacity than the newer schools. Dr. Richardson suggests that L3-97 could be broken in half, compromise breaking the neighborhood in half vs keeping them together as requested by the community. Perhaps a homeschool partnership, would utilize the portables and meet student/family’s needs that would like to have that type of learning opportunity that other surrounding districts currently offer, and PSD does not. Growth projection in the next 2-3 years under B.2 scenario is over 120 students beyond 2020 in 2-3 years. Ms. Phillips encourages putting the scenario and gathering feedback from the community members in response to Ms. Kubalik’s concern that the community has not been presented with scenario B.2. Audience member, Heather Kubalik addressed the Board regarding the scenario B.2 when taking the original scenarios to the community this was the one that was most favored. She was concerned that this modification has not been seen by the effected community members; they were originally given information that they would be going to Three Rivers Elementary. She suggests that this modification be shared for community feedback. Audience member, Nathan Grim, addressed the Board with his concerned with scenario B.2. with the year 2020 showing that Livingston is still at over capacity. He suggested providing equity in the overcrowding and not start any schools at under capacity with the reasoning that the newer schools will be better prepared with the overcrowding. EXTENDED STUDY/DISCUSSION Growth Monitoring Framework – Mr. Mark Garrett The purpose of this extended study/discussion is to provide an update on the district’s design and implementation of its goal setting and monitoring framework. Last year, district staff proposed a framework for setting and monitoring growth goals related to the district’s Outrageous Outcomes. Since then, the district has implemented the goal-setting framework and created a dashboard to monitor progress toward the goals along with several other key performance indicators. Board discussion followed. It was requested to have a study session prior to getting the next set of data for this tool. There were no audience comments. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS

• Students may use their phones appropriately in the park. Appropriate things include taking pictures and communicating with group members/chaperones. Students should not be on social media while at the park and have been asked to refrain from posting pictures until they return.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval of Resolution No. 970 accepting recommendations of the Middle School #4 Constructability Analysis Study as proposed by Sazan Environmental Services, the design team and district staff.
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events)
A constructability analysis was performed at the 95% level of design for Middle School #4 by Sazan Environmental Services. The constructability review is a state requirement for projects receiving state matching funds.

The goal of the analysis is to maximize construction funds by identifying and modifying potential omissions and errors that could increase project costs during construction.
Some good suggestions were made and accepted by the design and district team and will be incorporated into the final construction drawings used to bid the project. District staff recommends board acceptance of the Middle School #4 constructability analysis. A copy of the report is available in the Superintendent’s office.

OBJECTIVE: To request Board action on a recommendation for attendance boundaries for Three Rivers Elementary School. The school is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2019 and will open in August of 2019.
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events) Three Rivers Elementary is scheduled to open in August 2019. The boundary revision work began in May 2018 with an online survey and board study session resulting in the guiding principles. A committee of district staff and community used the guiding principles to developed initial boundary scenarios. In collaboration with JUB Engineering consultant, Spencer Montgomery, the boundary committee developed draft boundary scenarios for Three Rivers Elementary, Columbia River Elementary, Middle School #4, and Stevens Middle School Replacement. Community meetings took place in November 2018 which offered stakeholders an opportunity to review and provide feedback on draft scenarios. The draft scenarios and feedback form were also available online. Feedback was received from parents, staff, students, and community members and was reviewed and analyzed along with student enrollment projection data. Board study sessions and board meetings have included boundary revision work updates along with review and discussion regarding the work and the draft scenarios. A recommendation for Three Rivers Elementary was presented to the Board on January 22, 2019. Based on Board feedback, additional review took place and this rendered two alternate scenarios, B.3 and B.4.

OBJECTIVE: Update the Board of Directors and the public on recent developments of the Bus Lease Program to acquire 15 school buses.
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events) On September 25, 2018 Steve Story first presented that staff was exploring the options around a bus lease program to replace acquire 15 new school buses. The Board of Directors approved a commercial bus lease agreement with Mercedes-Benz Financial at its meeting on November 13, 2018 as a consent agenda item. In working to execute that agreement, Fiscal Services became aware of the Washington Office of the State Treasurer’s LOCAL Program as an improved funding options to acquire the 15 buses on order. The lease agreement approved in November 2018 was not executed and the District’s application has been withdrawn by Fiscal Services staff.
POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES:
PROJECTED COSTS: $2.08M BUDGET CODE:
SUGGESTED MOTION: There is no suggested motion. This is an update and informational item only. Action is anticipated at an April 2019 regular board meeting to approve the contract between the District and Office of the State Treasurer.
NEXT STEPS: Board approval of an inter-fund loan from the General Fund to the Transportation Fund and approval of a Budget Extension for the Transportation Fund, anticipated in March 2019. Board approval of the contract/agreement with WA Office of the State Treasurer in April 2019 to meet the May 3, 2019 deadline for document submittal.
Bus Lease Program Update
Kevin HebdonExecutive Director of Fiscal Services
History
• 53 buses that are over 13 years old• Bus lease idea presented to Board on 9/25/18• Bus lease agreement approved on 11/13/18• 15 buses on order at $2.08M• WA Dept. of Ecology grant of $525k• Funds needed of $1.56M• District owns buses at end of lease
Changes
• Canceled lease agreement• Utilize WA Office of State Treasurer “LOCAL
Program”• Timing of funding• Reduced overall costs/interest
LOCAL Program• Cost-effective way for Washington municipalities to finance
equipment and/or real estate projects• LOCAL financing is structured as a financing contract (lease)
offered through the Office of the State Treasurer (OST) • OST pools lease agreements across all LOCAL participants and
packages them as a security called a Certificate of Participation (COP) - similar to municipal bonds where investors are guaranteed an income stream from the lease payments made by municipalities for the life of the loan
• After the individual lease expires, ownership of the financed piece of property is retained by the LOCAL agency
LOCAL Program• Funds are generally available three times per year, in
February, June and October• The LOCAL Program allows participants access to the national
tax-exempt market through a competitive bid process, regardless of the size of their financing contract
• By pooling with the State’s Aa2 rated COP issuances, LOCAL participants are able to take advantage of the State’s very low tax-exempt interest rates and lower issuance costs
• 2.07% through OST vs. 3.495% through the approved lease agreement realizes a savings of about $41k
• Streamlined process with support from OST staff• Recommended by Bond Counsel & Financial Advisor
LOCAL Program Participants
Funding & Timing
• Apply with OST March 15, 2019• Buses arrive in April• Pay for buses with a loan from General Fund of $2.08M• Submit for reimbursement of $525k from DOE Grant by June
30, 2019• OST funds available June 25, 2019• Pay back the General Fund loan with DOE and OST funds• First payment of about $330k on OST LOCAL Program lease
