Public Hearing Type Information Districts are required to amend their 2025-26 budgets for the current year by end of May 2026. This is solely a compliance issue as taxes do not change nor any other funding. The budget amendment is only for expenditures but is across all funds. If the district is high by jut $1, an audit finding is required, so it is advised to estimate a higher amended amount.

Non-Instructional Programs: This is for nutrition services. We are estimating an increase of $578,103 related to higher food costs and higher wages. Total Other Expenditures: This is for construction costs for the TJ auditorium renovations and other district projects.

Legislations allow the district a 1% increase over prior year if approved by the board. The budget guarantee is a budget adjustment bringing regular program funding to 101% of the previous fiscal year's regular program funding. The purpose of the budget adjustment is to give districts some time to adjust expenditures to account for reductions in funding. For FY 2027, we qualify for a budget guarantee in the amount of $541,528. In years past, this would be paid though additional property taxes but for FY2027, the State of Iowa has agreed to pick up the cost which will lower our overall property taxes levy by roughly .1753 cents per thousand of taxable valuation. File Attachments Motion & Voting BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of COUNCIL BLUFFS community school district, will levy property taxes for fiscal year 2026-2027 for the regular program budget adjustment as allowed under section 257.14, Code of Iowa.

Opening Items Type Information This is an opportunity for members of the public to address the Board regarding agenda items or other matters of concern. Code: 221 Page 1 of 1 Title: Public Attendance and Participation at Board of Directors’ Meetings Every regular, special or called meeting of the Board shall be open to the public except as otherwise provided by law. Citizens may exercise their democratic privilege of attending public Board meetings except as otherwise provided by the Constitution. The Board shall make and enforce reasonable rules and regulations regarding the conduct of persons attending its meetings and regarding public participation. These include: 1. Any person wishing to address the Board is encouraged to notify the Board Secretary or the administrator designated by the Presiding Officer, in person or by telephone no later than thirty minutes prior to the start of the meeting, giving his/her name, street address and the topic upon which he/she wishes to speak. 2. Those who address the Board will be recognized during that portion of the agenda entitled “Public Participation.” All speakers must be recognized by the Board President before addressing the Board. All questions and comments by speakers will be directed to the Board President in all cases. The Board President may defer speaker’s comments until the time when the appropriate agenda item is being discussed. 3. The Board reserves the right to place reasonable time limits on each speaker or group of speakers. Each speaker who notified the Board Secretary no later than thirty minutes before the meeting will be limited to no more than five minutes. Each speaker who is recognized by the Board President and who did not provide prior notification will be limited to three minutes. 4. When multiple individuals wish to address the Board on one or more topics, a 30-minute limit shall apply for total public participation with the time limit of no more than five or three minutes per individual as described above. When these time limits exceed the 30-minute total time limit for public participation, then the Board President shall assign time limits. In so assigning time limits, the Board President may either set a total time limit in excess of 30 minutes and divide that time between all individuals requesting to address the Board or retain the 30-minute time limit and divide the 30 minutes between all individuals requesting to address the Board. In dividing the time, the Board President must divide the allotted time equally between all individuals requesting to address the Board. 5. Other regulations for persons addressing the Board are: a) The speaker’s remarks shall focus on a topic that is under consideration by the Board, or within the Board’s authority to address. b) It is the prerogative of Board members to ask the speaker questions during the speaker’s presentation or make comments as frequently as necessary to clarify the discussion. The speaker may make comments and ask questions but may not interrogate or debate issues with the members of the Board. Any person interrogating or debating with members of the Board shall be ruled out of order by the Board President. c) Personal attacks should be avoided. d) Complaints against individual employees of the District may be made during public participation only after they have followed Board policy addressing complaints. If a speaker makes such a complaint, the Board President should inform the speaker of the proper procedure for making such complaints. e) The President may terminate any speaker’s presentation for persistent violations of these rules, provided the speaker has been ruled out of order for violation of these rules. 6. If the Board determines a need for additional discussion of an issue raised during public participation, the item may be added to the agenda for a future meeting.
