    Mark presented the 2021 final budget amendments for the General Fund and the Special Revenue Funds. The General Fund is projected to finish with a $3,970,515 fund balance (12.67% of expenses). The Special Revenue Funds are all seeing big changes to their bottom line due to COVID-19 and federal grants.
  2. Budget 2022
    Mark presented the proposed 2021 original budget for the General Fund and the Special Revenue Funds. The General Fund is projected to have a $682,516 deficit and end with a $3,287,999 fund balance (10.36% of expenses). The Special Revenue Funds are assumed to be back to normal pre covid revenues and expenses.
  3. Cashflow Resolution
    Mark gave an update on Fruitport’s cash flow.
  4. Food Service Prices
    Mark presented a document from USDA stating that all students are eligible for a free meal. The meal still has to have all of the approved components.
  5. L-4029
    The L-4029 is the report that Fruitport submits to the local townships to tell the township when and how much mills to levy the public. Every year, the board of education has to approve the report. The report states that summer taxes will be levied for Fruitport and Spring Lake Townships.
  6. ECC Playground and Mulch
    Mark presented a letter from Pam Bergey requesting the approval of two recommendations. The first is to use some of her budget to add three pieces of playground equipment. The second was to remove and replace all the mulch in her playground. These two recommendations will be on the board agenda.
  7. Chromebooks
    Mark presented a recommendation to get chromebooks for all K-2 classrooms starting next school year. Currently there is one chromebook cart being shared between two teachers in every building. There is a grant via E-Rate that will allow a district that can show need to be awarded a full reimbursement for purchasing chromebook.

Meeting Minutes

Attendance: Dave Hazekamp, Elroy Buckner, Kris Cole, Bob Szymoniak, and Mark Mesbergen

1. Bus Recommendation
Mark presented two recommendations in regards to purchasing buses for the upcoming school year. The first recommendation is to purchase two new special education buses through the MSBO consortium. Special education routes are getting bigger so we are running more miles than normal and our two oldest buses are having issues. This will also set us up great if we need to add a 7th regular run.
The second recommendation is to accept the bid from Midwest Transit to purchase three regular education buses off lease, assuming the mechanics agree that the buses are worth buying. These buses are replacing three buses that have been sitting throughout this year due to the inspector red tagging them.

2. Chartwells’ Renewal
The State has yet to approve the renewal so this item was not talked about.

3. CSM Renewal
Mark presented an extension quote from CSM for the 2022 and 2023 school year. The extension will increase the contract by roughly $94,568 per year. The district will add a night time supervisor and continue to have dayporters at Beach and Shettler Elementary (only had them due to COVID 19). John has done some research regarding districts going out to bid and he has found that charges for cleaning by third party vendors are higher than in years the past.

4. Furniture and Flooring
Mark presented an update regarding replacing furniture and flooring. John Winskas recommends that we replace the flooring and furniture at the same time and it can be done this upcoming summer. A future recommendation will come with firm prices.

5. Other – Brick @ HS science wing
Mark presented an update regarding the change order to replace the old brick at the science wing to match the new brick.

Meeting adjourned at 12:16 p.m.
