The Eagle Valley School

Board met at 5 PM, July 25, and

one of the topics for discussion

was the November election,

when the district must go to the

voters to ask that its operating

levy be renewed.

The current operating levy

expires this year, and another

levy expires next year. The

board is considering whether to

ask voters for a simple renewal

of these levies, or whether to ask

for additional funding with alarger levy. The decision must

be made at the August meeting.

Generally, levies last for 10

years.

Another option for the board

to consider is a lease levy. This

type of levy is used for specific

items of technology, such as the

purchase of new computers for

students. Lease levies usually

last for three years. A lease levy

ballot question would be in addi-

tion to the operating levy refer-

endum.

In addition to discussing the

levy options, the board voted to

approve several actions. Theyapproved hiring Michael Johnson

as a special education teacher; and

approved a sidewalk upgrade on

the north side of the Clarissa

school building. The board

believes the city of Clarissa

should share in the cost of the

new sidewalk, and plans to make

a request at the August city

council meeting. The cost of the

project was estimated at $9,000

for dirt work and concrete instal-

lation.

The board also approved the

construction of an additional

parking lot on the southeast cor-

ner of the school grounds inClarissa. Because of the consoli-

dation of the elementary and

high school programs at

Clarissa, there is a need for 55

new parking spaces. The new

dirt parking lot will have 24

spaces and cost $4500 to $5500.

No one asked about where the

remaining 31 cars would park.

Finally, the board approved

fall extracurricular assignments

for staff. Coaching assignments

included John Seiling, head foot-

ball coach; Andy Lancaster,

assistant football coach; Ryan

Tourila, junior varsity football

coach; Ben Johnson, assistant

junior varsity coach; Miss

Drosdahl, head volleyball coach;

Heide Schnettler, assistant vol-

leyball coach; and Katie Kaluza,

C-squad coach.

Another topic for discussion

was the way the districts busi-

ness office should be organized

and staffed. At a previous meet-

ing, Superintendent Jim Madsen

brought up several ideas

designed to reduce costs in the

district office. First, he suggest-

ed the possibility that Eagle

Valley share services wit

Bertha and/or Verndale.

However, when he contacted

these two districts to discuss the

idea, he learned that neither one

was interested in sharing at this

time. Second, he suggested the

regional education office could

provide services for bookkeeping

and payroll on a contract basis.

He told the board this possibility

would cost about $1600 per month.

Despite numerous attempts, Mr.

Madsen was unable to contact

anyone at this office to get fur-

ther details. Third, Mr. Madsen

suggested the district change

software providers and train a

new person to operate the new

software that would coordinate

with other local districts. When

he attempted to contact both the

new and old software providers,

he was not able to connect with

either of them. During this dis-

cussion, board chair Sharon

Notch asked Mr. Madsen

whether he had considered hir-

ing a local accountant to provide

bookkeeping services for the

school district. Mr. Madsen said

he had not, but would do so right

away to get an estimate of the

costs and see how they compared

to existing costs. He said, Wed

like to keep as much school dis-

trict money as possible right

here in our community.

rst notice that

he rock walls have been slightly

atched. There is still a lot of

atch work left to complete and

he slabs of concrete that act as a

ailing across the top of the rocks

eeds to be replaced.

Once you step through the

door, the first thing you see is

dirt floors, and walls that have

been torn apart revealing layers

of what was supposed to be foun-

dation, but was actually a four

foot deep hand-

dug trench filled

with boulders and

paper. A tin can

was even found

among the mess.

The courthouse

was actually built

without a base-

ment. It was later

revealed that the

hand-dug, boul-

der-filled trench

was pinned and

specific areas

were dug out to

create a base-

ment. They are

currently digging

out all of the

foundation to

build a new struc-

tural foundation.

Next you walk

up the stairs to

the second level.

You can see the

rock wall from the

upper-level. The

vaults are also onthis level. Only

one vault will be

able to open, the

other three vault

doors will be

sealed shut and

left for decor. The

second level will hold the treas-

urer, assessor, and recorder

offices.

The renovations at Motzkos

ield are well under-way and

oing as planned despite a few

minor bumps in the road. Two

eeks ago the building was

emolished by a sentenced to

erve crew, saving the

Browerville Softball Association

and Lions Club money. Now a

new outer-shell of a building

stands in its place.

The outer shell of the building

is completely done. Although the

doors have not been put in yet, it

is beginning to look like a build-

ing. As for the inner shell, there

is a lot of work to be done.

With hopes of finishing the

project by the end of August,

workers are working hard

despite a few minor set backs.

The set backs will only slightly

effect the budget, but the

Browerville Softball Associate

can cover those expenses.

One of the larger set backs

was with the plumbing. Because

of the government shutdown,plumbing could not be installed

in the building. Even if it was

installed, inspections could not

take place until after the shut-

down. It is sort of a waiting

game, said Marty Host, who is

in charge of the project. It

depends on the plumbers and

electrician.

Another minor set back was a

recent inspection that ruled the

concessions needed more stain-

less steel appliances, as well as a

separate stainless steel washing

bin and hand sink. The stainless

steel items needed to be added in

order to serve food from thevenue.

It was also decided instead of

putting fiberglass doors on the

building, steel doors would be a

better option. The steel doors

will work better and last longer.

The renovations could take

anywhere from two to four weeks

to complete depending on weath-

er, and changes in the plans. It

will hopefully be finished by the

end of August.

By Tarissa Host.

Renovations are taking place

the Browerville Public School

prepare for the coming school

ear. Projects, such as renovat-

g the locker rooms, installing

andicap accessible automatic

oors, performing maintenance

n fences, concessions, and a new

r system in the Agricultural

hop, are all hoped to be com-

eted by this fall.

One of the major renovations

king place at the school is the

modeling of the locker rooms.

oth the girls and boys locker

oms will be renovated, along

ith the downstairs locker room.

The locker rooms were built in

976, and are due for a much

eeded renovation. The rust on

h l k d d i i g h

The shower system was not

very environmentally friendly

and wasted too much water. The

new showers will be automatic

and much more environment ally

friendly. The steps into the show-

er have also been removed to

make the locker rooms handicap

accessible.

The rusty lockers will be

replaced by newer, space efficient

lockers. The floors in the locker

rooms will all be painted with

Epoxy paint, which will be clean-

er, and prevent slipping. The

Epoxy paint will require less

maintenance each year.

The locker room renovations

are not the only renovations the

school will be making this sum-

mer. So far, the old fencing

d f f th thl ti fi ld

installed in the elementary.

The school also hopes to

repair the weather damaged

cement in front of the football

concessions stand, and apply

new sodding where it is needed

around the school.

Another project, which has not

began yet, is installing a new

central air system in the agricul-

ture shop. The new air system

will provide better ventilation

and better air quality in the

shop.

There are many project pro-

posals in question yet and there

may be other changes before theschool year starts. The school

hopes to finish all of their proj-

ects before school starts this fall.

Courthouse, continuedAnother noticeable item is the windows, which will all be restored

to their original height. Some of the flooring and ceilings will be

restored as well. A $100,000 grant was received to restore the origi-

nal windows.

On the third level, you walk into an open, spacious room with ahigh ceiling, which will be lowered. The third level of the courthouse

will be made into conference rooms and board rooms. The ceiling in

the courthouse will be completely restored. A fourth floor will also be

added later.

As for the outer-shell of the building, the stone framing of the orig-

inal window openings is being restored. Royale Masonry is in charge

of all the masonry work, and have been doing a fantastic job. A50 car

parking lot will also be added to allow easier public access to the

building.

The project is planned to be complete in March of 2012. Todd

County Administrator, Nate Burkett, believes that the project will be

completed the middle of June because of minor set backs. We were

hoping by the end of the month that everything would start coming

together, but we are still working on piecing everything together,

said Burkett.

The foundation issue in the basement serves a bigger set back, as

a complete foundation needs to be built. A problem with plumbingposed by the state shutdown also created a minor set back.

The ultimate vision is to connect all of the government buildings

in the area. If the Todd County Detention Center, and the Todd

County Historic Courthouse were connected it would allow people to

access both buildings easier. We want to restore the historic integri-

ty, but it has to work for the people, said Burkett.
