Appraisal History:

8-30-18 $710,000
6-17-21 $815,000
11-15-22 $895,000
 
In 4 years from 2018 to 2022 the property appreciated $185,000 or 26%.
 
The annual cost for the district to retain the property is essentially zero.  There is currently no maintenance or services provided to this property.  In the past, a tree fell, and the district was responsible for removal.  There is also a very small property tax bill on this property for sewage.  Under $500 per year. 
 
Should the district want to dispose of the property, there would be two options:
1. Sell the property
2. Give or trade the property to another public municipality such as the city of Broadview Heights.  For example, a few years ago there was outreach to the city of Broadview Heights to trade the property for help with DARE officer funding but it did not get traction.
 
If the property were sold now, the funds would be deposited into the PI fund for later use as there is no urgent PI project pending.

Description: 

Hearing of the Public - Persons wishing to address the Board of Education may do so at this point. No formal action will be taken on subjects that are not included on this agenda until the Board has had an opportunity to study them.

Description: 

We worked with two instrument recycling companies to get quotes on who would give us the best deal.  Green Horn essentially will buy these from us and we will then be able to purchase a newer piece of equipment.  Mr. Cocchiola is working on reducing inventory overall and properly align our musical instrument inventory to current demand.  

Description: 

1. All fees remain the same with exception of instrument rental which is increasing $10/instrument.  
2. 2024-2025 data suggests after this $10/instrument increase we will have equalized our revenue to offset repairs being done on district owned equipment.  Additionally, the district is reviewing all owned instruments and developing a replacement schedule/guide.
