At the June 14, 2018 meeting of the Board they approved an audit service agreement with David L Moonie & Co. to perform a Performance Audit on the Measure K General Obligation Bond of 2016. Moonie & Co, LLP audited the 2017-18 management of the bond fund by the District.
There were two findings in the audit, one regarding the minimum number of members of the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC) and another regarding the due date of the audit.
The CBOC is required to have 5 members from specific stakeholder groups in the District. The CBOC needs one additional member from a taxpayer’s organization to have a full component. The District is advertising for CBOC members on our website.
The District has recruited one additional community member, Brenna Goodman, to serve on the CBOC in an at-large capacity for a two-year term during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The District will be making a recommendation to the Board to appoint her upon receipt of her membership application.
The District will insure that the performance audit of the 2018-19 management of the bond fund by the District is completed before the March 31, 2019 due date.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=12E8GLZvQhS-snpHlN6RR4VORSD1HiPDh2_l_uatADc4
- The following is new information regarding the local and state bonds:
Inspector of Record (IOR) for Project One:
The District sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an IOR. Two proposals were received. One of these was later withdrawn. The Assistant Superintendent has accepted the RFP and signed a contract with Fenton Construction Services, Inc. The District has worked extensively with Rich Fenton in the past and has always been satisfied with his performance.
Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee for Measure K (CBOC)
The CBOC met on Tuesday, July 31st. Agenda items 7.8, 7.9 and 7.10 address items from that meeting.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Cultural Artifacts
An agreement was reached with the three local Native American tribes on how to conduct fieldwork. Fieldwork started on Sunday, August 5, 2018. It will conclude on Thursday, August 16, 2018. As of this writing arrowheads and related flake debris have been found. On August 16th, service dogs will be on site to check for human remains. After this fieldwork is completed, we hope to have an agreement with the tribes that they will not object to our CEQA Categorical Exemption.
The City of Arcata:
The legal questions concerning to what extent the City may require the installation of curbs and sidewalks and sewer line repairs through a Encroachment Permit was researched by the Assistant Superintendent. His conclusion is that the City does not have the authority to require these improvements. The issue of the authority to make these improvements is related to the items listed below. If any of these items is not resolved expediently, it would delay our projects for an undetermined amount of time. A delay could potentially and realistically eliminate the District from the opportunity of obtaining millions of dollars in future state bond funding for the children of our community.
- i) A Zoning Nullification Resolution (ZNR) was passed by the Board on July 27, 2018, which renders the project excluded from the zoning ordinances of the City. The City may object to the resolution in Superior Court.
- ii) CEQA: The City may object to a Categorical Exemption to the CEQA.
iii) The City issues a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The City may refuse to issue a CDP when the District applies for a CDP Exclusion by filing for a Zoning Clearance Application (ZCA). The District will make a ZCA when the ZNR, CEQA and CDP issues are resolved.

Prop 51 state bond funds:
The current account of Prop. 51 bond funds may be exhausted as soon as the end of October and perhaps may still be available by the end of December.
If the issues with the tribes and city are resolved we are hopeful that our Project Two plans should be approved by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) and the California Department of Education (CDE), and our funding application submitted to the Office of Public School Instruction in time to allow us to access these funds.
I am not as optimistic as I was at the beginning of this process, but am still hopeful.
If we are unable to access Prop 51 funds during this funding cycle, we will have all that we will need in place to access the next funding cycle upon passage of the next state school facilities bond initiative. When the next bond will pass is a guess, but many school facilities advocates are expressing cautious optimism for an initiative on the ballot in the 2020 election.
Bridge funding:
Bridge funding is an amount we would borrow to meet the budgets of our projects between the exhaustion of our local bond fund and the procurement of state bond funds.
During the 2017-18 school year, the Board gave consensus consent to pursuing bridge funding if needed.
I am researching the amount of bridge funding we may need and the terms we can expect and will report this information to the Board.
Fiscal Implications:
Unknown.

FACILITIES
Subject:
9.1 Facilities Improvement Committee Project Two Plans
Action Requested:
Approval.
Previous Staff/Board Action, Background Information and/or Statement of Need:
The Schematic Site and Building Plans for Project Two, our potential state bond projects, have been refined and updated by the FIC. The project includes:
- Six classrooms. Three of these classrooms are standard classrooms. One is a science room, one is kindergarten room and one is a relocatable music room. A relocatable was decided upon for the music room to reduce the budget and due to construction concerns at the site of the music room, which is the current location of the resource room.
- Remodeling an existing kindergarten room into a transitional kindergarten room with a restroom.
- A new hallway, speech room and two bathrooms where the staff room is currently.
The board is asked to approve these plans so we may submit them to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) for approval.
