VII.A. Recommend Approval of Resolution Calling the School District General Election
Description:
Due to the recent changes to election laws adopted by the Minnesota Legislature, some of the notification deadlines have changed.  Therefore, we should approve the resolution calling the election so we can proceed with the school board election and meet all the appropriate deadlines.  (Roll Call Vote)

VII.B. Recommend Approval of Resolution Establishing Refined Hand Count Procedures
Description:
Due to the recent changes to election laws adopted by the Minnesota Legislature, we are able to refine the hand counting procedures. The process of counting write-in votes on election night can be time-consuming and frequently does not produce a winning candidate. This will help to lessen the administrative burden on election workers on election night.  If we want to make this change, we are required to do so and notify our county auditors no later than July 29, 2024.  Therefore, we recommend approval of the resolution establishing the refined hand count procedures.  (Roll Call Vote) 

_______ recommended approving the resolution establishing refined hand count procedures; _____ seconded; those in favor: __________________; opposed: ____________; motion carried/failed.

VII.E. Recommend Approval of the Truth in Taxation Hearing Date
Description:
The district no longer needs to set up a special meeting to hold the truth in taxation hearing, it can now be held in conjunction with a regular meeting, but before the final levy is adopted.  We need to allow anyone who comes to speak about their taxes to talk.  The district still needs to notify the county auditors so they can put the information on the notices that are sent out.  The hearing must take place before we can approve the final levy certification; we can do this at the same meeting provided that we let people talk if they wish to be heard at the hearing.  Thus we could hold the hearing prior/in conjunction with the December 9, 2024 meeting.     

______ recommended approval of the truth in taxation hearing date of December 9, 2024; ____ seconded; motion carried/failed.
