can you hear me now thank you okay um Mr superintendent members of the board um our presentation today will be an overview of the 2425 millage rates and budget this budget includes all governmental funds and proprietary funds better known to you as the internal service fund of the district oh okay the next slide represents our calendar for this year's budget approval and uh approval for the tentative millage rate as you know I believe last Thursday you all did re um noticed in the newspaper that we did advertise the budget and of course the um the capital outlay millage rate and how we will be spending those dollars as well as um based on our millage rate uh the increase to our overall millage rate and I'll go into detail about all of those items as we go through the presentation this is okay with this uh calendar as you can see we are here today the first public hearing for uh the tentative millage and the budget the next will be of course our final hearing which will be on September 12th and it's part of your uh approval process at the end of the presentation okay this slide represents a historical millage rates for for at least 13 years and what I wanted to bring to your attention on this slide is that the first line item is by state law what do I mean by that it is part of the required local effort required local effort are those dollars or millage that generates the dollars for us to participate in the ffp program Finance Florida education Finance program that program actually does the calculation for the funding for all 67 school districts and and part of it is that required local effort we are we cannot run our education system if we do not participate in the ffp it it represents a larger number of our Revenue that does come in to support our education programs but before I go on to the next I need to give you a little history about the millage trim truth and millage was enacted in 1980 this has been a a around for quite some time now it is the requirement and detailed in the Florida statue under 2.65 this millage or the millage rate includes the required local effort the base basic discretionary effort and the capital outlay millage there is also an opportunity for districts to Levy additional voted millage this additional votage millage is actually uh voted by the community the taxpayers of Clay County in July 19 2024 the Florida Department of Revenue certifies the 20242 estimated property tax role that is the basis for determining the required local effort millage rate for the ffp program also in this certification is the 2324 final tax roll this is also required to Levy the prior period funding adjustment millage in addition to our regular millage the prior period funding adjustment millage offsets the unrealized required local Revenue resulting from the tax Ro decrease that occurs when the certified final tax role is less than the tax role used in the ffp calculation what that means is basically um remember during my presentation before when I did the millage rates I explained to you that the districts are required to let 96% of those funds many times throughout the year we do not generate all of the 96% so at the end of the year when there the the the property appraisers office is uh looking at the property values and the calculation for the value that we collected last year if it does not meet the amount that we should have generated the the property appraiser assess the prior period adjustment ours is about 0.003 sometimes it's about 05 sometimes there's none because there's times where we do generate more than the amount that more than the 96% so that is the reason for the prior period adjustments so per state law the required local effort is 2.98 Ms the base basic discretionary local effort is 748 Ms the voted millage is 1.0 the capital millage is 1.50 for a total Mill of 6.23 4 this is actually a decrease from last year's rate of 017 the proposed re required local effort which is 2.98 Mill will generate 61 milon 17104 the proposed discretionary 748 will generate $15.3 million the proposed additional Mill will generate 20.4 million the specific numbers are in the slide so you have those numbers and the capital outlay 1.00 will generate 20.4 859 950 million so you'll see this in the next slide okay part of this presentation is to discuss the roll back rate and what that really means and this calculation really sort of shows you uh explains what that roll back rate means as I've said you've got what the roll back rate represents the amount of dollars or the rate that we need to uh millage rate that we need to calculate to determine the the dollars to generate similar to last year so last year we generated 122 m84 804 if you go back to last year's presentation you'll see those numbers there when you do the calculation we've got to come up with what that millage rate is I will go through and I I will actually explain the calcul because I do have it here um so what is the roll back rate the roll back rate rbr is the millage rate that would provide the same amount of Revenue as the previous year's millage rate if applied to the current property tax tax role Florida statute 2.65 states that when the current proposed state required rate exceeds the roll back rate the legal advertisement must be a notice of proposed tax increase so when you look at our uh millage rate last year was 6.40 the roll back rate calculated is 6.14 the current rate is 6.23 4 that is an increase of the .17 that I indicated therefore because of that we have to advertise an increase to the millage okay trying to make sure I see everything okay yeah that's all uh let's see the proposed millage rate 2425 is 6.23 five that exceeds the roll back rate by 1.54% again it is an increase to the prior years uh to the back rate therefore we must advertise an increase school districts are required to budget 96% of the proposed dollars to be raised which is 122 m61 037 okay what does a mill represent in value in dollars you take the property value uh the property assessor assessed our property for uh for about 20 million 20 billion 485 9501 127 The Collection rate required by Florida statute is 96% the value of one mil represents 19 million 666 512 this is a summary of the different V the uh um the various millage rates that we do Levy the required local Le 2.98 6 61 million 17147 basic discretionary 15 milon 323 491 the 1 and a half mil 30 million 728 925 additional voted millage which is the 1.00 is 20, 485 950 the total millage 6.2 34 representing 127 milon 79413 you take 96% school districts are required to um to budget 122 milon 60102 37 okay how does the millage work what does it mean as far to a a homeowner looking at scenario one you assume there are no uh increase to your property value so take a value of about $280,000 your 2324 millage was 6.44 last year that is the millage rate that was approved your 2425 millage is 6.23 4 that's an increase of 2.65 I'm sorry a decrease of 2.65 Ms last year taxes were $1,633 point0 for a homeowner with a value of $280,000 this year's taxes will be 1,589 67 that's actually a decrease of $43.35 school districts are allowed to Levy only I mean to take the exemption uh homestead exemption of just $25,000 so basically that value that was calculated is not on the 280,000 but it's on the 255,000 so therefore if your property remained the same no increase in that value you would actually experience a $43.35 savings that's two trips to Burger King oh some of those places okay let's go over scenario 2 scenario 2 assumes a 3% increase to your 280,000 um home value where did I get the 3% if you can recall um in um a bit of History 1995 there was something called save our homes the save our homes Amendment to the Florida constit Constitution took effect and it states that the annual increase for any assessed value cannot be more than 3% so with that I use the 3% value because I know it will be around that um for next year for this year I'm sorry so taking that information you take the 3% to the $280,000 home you take 3% of that it becomes $288,400 you minus out the 25,000 homestead exemption you have a value of now 263,000 look at last year's millage of 6.44 and then you take this year's millage of 6.23 4 last year's taxes 1, 63302 this year's taxes will be a slight increase of 1,642 three that's an increase of $91 it's less than 1% for this year okay all right so moving on our next slide represents our assess values over the last 13 years as you can see since 20134 we were down to 2.20 but our properties continue to increase even through the covid year the 2122 year you can see in between there it still continued to rise now 2223 apparently our property value Sky skyrocketed as you can see these numbers came from our uh uh Property Appraiser's office or the Florida Department of Revenue so you can see those values how much they've increased over the years okay in last year's pres I mean last year last week's presentation I provided you detail regarding every one of these funds our general fund our special Revenue fund Debt Service and capital project funds these are the funds that actually operate our total budget for the school system the general operating fund which is the largest of our budget is 452 m519 486 our special Revenue fund 52 mil 71826 Debt Service 6,99 6246 Capital project 148 mil 6611 165 that represents a total fund of 660 m888 723 that number there that's 660 you will find that in the summary budget that was advertised in the newspaper so it will tie back to all those numbers okay so now we'll get into the specifics of the General Revenue um which is the general operating fund the 6452 so what represents what what brings in those dollars okay you can see here the total dollars brought in again it's 452 this is just a revenue and and the um other financing sources it does not include the fund balance the fund balance includes is included in the overall budget but this just represents the funds coming in into the general fund and it's represented by state local Federal and of course some transfers as you can see here the main contribution here is the state revenue it's the ffp it is the dollars that are s uh generated from our um uh the ffp program the finance um State program that's amount to about $452 million and that represents 68% of our budget the special Revenue within the general fund there's two kinds of special Revenue there's the general fund and then there's actually special revenue and I'll go into a detail with that but the actual the special revenue from the general fund represents 52.7 million 8% of our budget that includes the student uh that includes um I'm sorry I'm going in hold on I'm sorry the state revenue local taxes are are f um required local effort I'm sorry I I got off here hold on here we're getting into it okay here I am yes I know where I am now okay so the federal dollars are estimated to be about $3.4 million and that includes our Roc programs it includes also our Medicaid funds and also our impact aid funds and we are required to report those funding that those funds received in federal category the local dollars are a combination of our required local effort our discretionary millage um and other miscellaneous grants that we receive throughout the school year also our VPK dollars uh our transfers which it indicates a slight amount it's about $6 million that's uh transferred into the general fund to support maintenance Activities The major portion of the general fund or the operating budget are used to maintain our educational programs offered to the children families and citizens of Clay County this does not include our fund balance and the total estimated Revenue again is about 452 mil uh 59486 okay so how do we spend all these dollars this is our appropriation what this slide represents is the dollars and where they where they're are actually targeted to so as you can see the majority of our funds at least 66% represents the direct instruction that supports our K12 basic programs our ESC programs our prek programs DJJ CTE esol and all of those direct instruction programs programs charter schools and our scholarships the instructional support is the are those programs that support the direct instruction student services instructional media instructional and curriculum staff training and instructional related technology the labels that you're seeing here is um linked to the um the overall budget under the function codes so in last week's presentation you'll see those uh terminologies in there and the values that go alongside with it the directed uh support General Administration facilities and acquisition facil fiscal Services me uh Central Services and transportation Board of Education yourself and administrative technology Services School support are School administration operation of plans maintenance of plants and uh com community service when you take a look at the direct instruction and the instructional support I will the the total amount of dollars that go towards those two programs are 78% of those dollars so Mo the majority of our funds are targeted for our students at the school level and at District but it's primarily for instructional our expenditures by object code and object codes are the details um it's another subset of the function codes so we've got multiple function codes um that represent our operations however this is another dive a deeper dive into the specifics of how those dollars are specifically spent the majority of the funds are spent in our salaries and benefits that represents the larger amount of our dollars and where it's targeted to specifically um salaries and [Music] benefits okay and this is our general fund fund balance over the years it's just a historical picture of what our fund balance should be or where we end up um the state requires us to have at least 3% uh right now we are we ended the year and we're still closing our books so this number could change when we re uh when I do the final presentation however at this time we are at 4.72 ending the year and I am we are projecting at least 5% for the end of next year the next slide represents the one mil one one of the things I do want to say is the one Mill is part of that general fund budget so when you look at the advertisement the total under the general fund or the operating budget includes the one mill because it is local it is taxes um uh yeah Revenue that's generated from the local tax okay the one mil the one mil expenditure Appropriations um expenditure are about 24.9 million and it's detailed as follows uh the instruction is about 2 million or less than 1% and that supports our district insurance program and that is per directive from the resolution that was uh placed on the ballot the operation of plant includes uh 10.5 million and that's about uh 41% of um of the budet budget 9 million or 36% represents the school safety services and the other represents um hardening of our schools the operations the hardening of our Schools maintenance includes 24,000 less than 1% and that's for support of the school maintenance um one of the positions I believe we support is the locksmiths some of the locksmiths it's a yeah facilities and acquisition is about $12 million that that represents 48% and a for hardening of our schools and I will discuss uh um some of the projects that that supports that funding supports okay expenditures by object I apologize for it being so tiny but I think you can see it in the book um the one mill expenditures represent $24.9 million and are detailed as follows the largest category of expenses in the one mill of for Safety and Security of our students the salaries um salaries are 736 3% and that supports the guardian positions out of school of the and the district insurance program for the resolution the $2 million that's identified in the resolution the benefits of course we've got to oh yeah not the salaries I'm sorry the benefits which is 2.3 million or 99.2% supports the 2 million for the health insurance benefit and also health insurance for our Guardian program for our Guardian positions which includes FICA Medicare retirement health and workers comp the operation of plant includes uh 10.5 million 9 million 36% for our school safety police services and the rest are um um let's see includes 36% for safety Police Services the other um purchase Services 9 million 38% supports our contracts with the Sheriff's Office the city of green curve town of Orange Park materials and supplies Energy Services and other expenses the next slide represents the details of really um how we spend those dollars the $24.9 million and it's broken down by the different pieces this um the next slide that I will show is the Safety and Security of the school facilities and where that 12 million is actually being spent on oh the other thing is um on the first uh bullet there the UN audited 2324 typically that should be zero but this year last year uh that includes the transition cost to the Sheriff's Office okay so that 12 million under the um operations uh facilities this is where those that 12 million will be spent it will be countywide doors repairs uh these are the different projects specifically I'm sorry I cannot go into specific schools because it that would be a safety issue so I cannot reveal that uh the windows and hvc replacement are countywide as well and the emergency communication are also countywide okay now we'll go into The Debt Service The Debt Service fund is a part of the um budget as well but it's also a transfer from Capital outlay the funds generated to support the the debt is transferred from Capital Outlet when I spoke to you about transfers that's part of the transfer which is about the 6.4 million um we have three debt Serv three areas of Debt Service the first one is the special act Bond it's a racetrack uh bond that is held at the district office I mean the state office it's about 150,000 and we do have interest attached to it so therefore the total expected amount to be paid is 218 325 one of the things I do want to put in here is that a lot of these numbers could change this is a budget it is just the beginning phase of um what we are projecting to occur to be spent our cops the certificate of participation our principal this year is 1,975 the interest is 2.6 million there is a fee attached to um um taking care it's a indirect type cost that the banks assess it's about $6,100 so the total amount is about four is 4,607 624 the bus lease that we do have it is considered a debt so therefore um the payment for this year is 1.5 1 milon 561 561 o that's a good number 53 m 53,9 189 is the interest a total of 1, 61554 so taking all of that debt together total 6.44 498 million and that is one of the transfers you'll see from the capital funds the one and a half Ms this slide represents our our commitment to the various debt our loan um payment plan as you would say so the bus lease we have two years remaining to include this year and it's about 3.1 million remain uh to be paid the special act bond which is the racetrack bond that I spoke of we have about 1.4 million remaining to be paid on there and uh you can see the total interest there are um the expansion which is our cops as you all are familiar with we just went through through that um um um cops therefore the total um is about 47 million 515 47 m million 47.5 million the total interest for the cops is about 21 million 21.4 so the majority of our interest comes from the um cops our total debt without interest is 52 mil7 9 89154 to be paid between now and 202 30 I I can't see that I need glasses anyway moving on uh the total fees every year it will be about $6,100 it there's a slight decrease because of probably the amount going down um um so the total debt fees and interest is 74 million 068 29.95 okay I'm going to move on trying to be quick okay we'll get into the capital funds I promise you I'm almost finished okay our Capital Revenue um is made up of state and uh local funds the majority of our Capital funds comes from the sales tax revenue our impact fees and our local tax dollars the local tax is one and a half Mills as I discussed earlier the impact fees of course is um part of the impact fees that's assessed uh for uh the homes and the sales tax and that represents 95 5% of our total capital [Music] budget the 5% represents the um the uh the 3 million which is um the CS Capital outlay and the one and a half million for charter schools which is actually a pass through those funds they just what I mean by pass through is that it comes to the district and we turn around and pay the charter schools distribute the funds to the Charter Schools okay Capital Appropriations where are we spending These funds here is a listing of the different categories um on how we spend our funds each category building and fixed equipment is 46% which is 67.7 million furniture and fixture equipment 2.3 which is 3.3 million our land is about about purchase of land is about 200 we do budget some dollars there um and that's really less than a percent of the total motor vehicles our new buses as part of our bus replenishment program is about 2.6% uh 3.9 million Improvement other than buildings is 7.9% or 11.6 million Remodeling and Renovations are 27% or $4.3 million computer software less than 1% 58,000 library books really less than 1% about 17.6 charter schools are 1.5 million uh 1.5% which represents 2.2 million and of course I talked to you about the transfer which uh goes to General operating for maintenance and property um Insurance um and of course Debt Service which represents the bus lease and any um the fees for the payment for our cops our cops which is 88.2% and or the 12.2 million this is just a summary of our charter schools and where they are receiving um the the funds that they are receiving in the past they've received our ffp and um that is um calculated five times throughout the year uh as you know we have about um two major counts throughout the year where we count our students so like I said this is a budget and it changes throughout the year we do have counts the um calculations that are done the major ones are in October and in February of the upcoming year what happens throughout that is throughout that process is that the state requires us to send them send them there our enrollment throughout that period for one week they you they utilize those um those numbers Che convert it to FTE which is a full-time equivalent which is 1.0 and um calculates the revenue that we receive so with that this also affects the charter schools so their funding is also adjusted so at this point I'm telling you that in the fefp they are going to get about oh my goodness I can't even see that um 20 million I think right anyway so that number could change because of that um because of the counts throughout the year the one mil is also calculated the same way it is used the F FTE throughout the October count and the February count so it is adjusted at that point as well the capital lcif is based on cofy cof E capital outlay FTE what does that mean that means it's the same it's our FTE that's counted however it's really based on a projection from the prior year not the projection the actual from the prior year it is done once a year at the end of that fiscal year the the state takes those numbers utilizes it as as part of our project as part of my projection and then at the end of this fiscal year they will identify exactly what the the cofy actually was and then I will make that adjustment to the charters to ensure that they receive the funding that's owed to them cofy are those FTE that are in uh um um brick and mortar schools so for instance scholarships are not included in the numbers um virtual education is not included in those numbers so uh home homeschool students are not included in those numbers um what else there are certain things within the calculation that is not rec that is not included in the numb so it's butts in the seats converted to FTE okay okay we'll get into the federal programs the federal programs uh includes several different programs we've got the food and nutrition food service uh special Revenue 420 contracted program special Revenue the Esser the ks the chrisser and the AR funds I'll go in okay I I'll go into the Food Service Food Service revenue is made up of some local some state and federal the majority of our funds um comes from the federal national school lunch program uh that presents um uh approximately 60 uh 76% of the total budget for food service and again when you go through the pre previous presentation which is available on our website you can see the details on the numbers that these uh percentages represent how does um Food Service spend their funds as you can see the majority of the funds is in food and supplies that's their business they provide lunches breakfast is um snacks to our students throughout the school [Music] year the uh 40 the larger is the 52% the 43% represents the salaries and benefits for the employees that work under the school for school Food Service program the next part of the special revenue of the federal projects and this this is a listing of those projects that we receive each year to supplement our our operating uh programs they're Title One title two which represents principal and teacher training title three is esol title four uh title 10 uh I mean I'm sorry nine homeless uh we don't receive a lot of dollars there idea one with the um uh basic program and then of course there's the prek we do have CTE funds it's the Perkins Grant and um adult and Community Ed family literacy and we do receive a little bit of setet funds now again the total is 1919 million this number is going to change because at this point we have submitted our applications to the state they are in the process of reviewing those applications once it's reviewed the District received an award notification that identifies the specific amount of how much funds we will receive at that point I'm hoping by September I'll be able to provide you with the actual amount of the allocations for most of these grants and of course throughout the year I do bring to you uh the budget amendments so if there's any other federal grants that we the district does apply for um it will be represented as a budget amendment to to the original original budget okay I apologize again this is a tiny chart but this represents all of the cares fund funds that we received the Chrissa funds that we receive gears and the ARP funds most of these funds have already been expended the majority of the $2 million that's remaining is part of the ARP fund and it's the last of those funds that we will receive so and and the the 2 million is targeted specifically to pay for a July summer school we're in the process of processing the um the salaries to those folks that participated in the summer school and of course any tutoring that's occurring or did occur um over the next couple of months these grants the the remaining uh ends in September of 2024 and therefore um a lot of the fund the this will go away for next year and the reporting begins okay finally um no it's not final uh this is the internal service fund as I indicated before this is part of the general fund and it the details of the dollars that's represented is in that um budget that I provided to you at the last meeting but basically there are two funds within the internal service fund it's the fund 11 which is our workers comp and liability program and it's our insurance for um property insurance and then of course the 712 which is our medical program where we are self-insured and we manage those funds so you can see 91% of it represents the medical program okay this concludes the information presented to the board as the public hearing related to the fiscal year 2425 um representing the proposed millage and the 2425 budget upon your approval of the millage rate and the tentative budget my responsibility is to advise the property appraisers office of the

2025 through 2028 2029 educational facilities plan I believe we have a presentation from Mr Lance Addison our director of facility planning Mr superintendent okay can you hear me okay Mr superintendent Madam chair board members MERS good evening it's my favorite time of the year my annual growth presentation um we're going to be going over planning growth capacity for the um efp as you'll see you can follow along in our efp um the the the presentation is kind of like a condensed version of everything that's in in the efp uh our objectives are growth enrollment studed Trends areas of growth in the county and projected School needs currently we have 43 schools then we um have three Charter Schools we're projected to grow to 45 District managed schools within the next 10 years right now we have two Wing additions under construction hooray and two more planned at our current schools our current District membership enrollment as of the end of May was 4297 we're projected to enroll greater than 11,800 more students in the next 10 to 20 years also as you can see in some of the areas we're U we're looking to build well they they are building greater than 25,000 more homes over the next 10 to 20 years um our new projects that we have that we are planning um are over $355 million to accommodate the student stations that will be necessary for the growth and that's based on projected growth population growth from the Census um this stays the same until the next Census count so you've seen this year after year as you can see um we grew um 14.3% in 10 years with a change of 27380 residents in the 10year period these are the latest um estimates from Bieber as you can see the um estimate from and and it's always from the 2023 estimate so it's always one year behind when they do the Bieber estimates so as you can see the 2023 was um 231,000 42 the total change from 2020 to 2023 was um close to 13,000 residents and our April 1st was 218,000 you have population projection projections that Bieber puts out um on an annual basis they have a low a medium and a High um estimation as you can see throughout the years they're projecting our high projection in 2050 will be 358,000 residents that's quite a jump from the 231,000 that we are experiencing right now and like I said that's their High estimation even their medium estimation would be 290,000 residents prior your comparison I put this together because I wanted to see how the estimations are going year after year um last year's estimation when I gave this presentation was 225,000 553 this year's estimation is 231,000 42 for a difference of 2.4% increase in one year that's fairly significant for onee period if you see our County and if you can locate our County we're just below Duvall and right above putam putam is the light blue we're right above that as you can see we are the 10% in over growth during uh the change in population from 2010 2020 so Florida is growing and our county is one of those counties that is growing fast like the rest of the counties um just as Dr Lego was explaining cof is capital outlay full-time enrollment um basically it's derrier and chairs it's um students in our brick and mortar schools the the these are from the education estimating conference they come up with these numbers it's based on a cohort survival method they take the previous three years add birth rates in and come up with a formula to give an estimation based on uh in the next 10 years however these estimations uh the education estimate um estimating conference does not know our growth they don't know what what is happening in our County so they do not take in um take growth into consideration when they're doing these estimates this is what the chart looks like um for the cofy um projections for the next 10 years and like I said this one is with growth not considered so what I do is I take the growth and I create the charts based on what I see in the growth and I have to take so I have to explain this I have to take the cofy estimations and I have to add the growth in there per the statute so I have to use their numbers that's why it seems a little flat and then we come up higher later on um in 2030 31 um I can explain that I'll show you the growth uh Trends in in later why I say that it's going to jump like that so this is a pretty difficult to read chart however there's a lot going on here um I'm thinking about breaking it up in the um in in the in the coming years um as we grow larger and larger this is going to get smaller and smaller every time we add a school this chart gets bigger and bigger so we're going to have to start breaking it up to where I like it all together because you can see the continuity and see the totals all together and kind of keep a good flow of what's going on there however I think the chart is getting too big and we're going to have to break it up into different slides what this is is this is the the growth estimation by school that I take the once again I take those cofy estimations and I add the growth into it and I apply it to each School in the district that's for the next 5 years after um 28 29 to 293 through 33 34 I also want to mention that the two uh Wing additions that we are building right now they are not included in these estimations and the reason for that is because I can't add student stations for a certain period of time the the capacity is the capacity as it is right now so when those wings are fully built then I can add that capacity in it'll change those numbers um we're going to move into the growth um where the houses are being built this is projected long term um as you can see my AI over on the left that's the entire County all the pink that's where the growth is happening as you can see it's all happening along the uh First Coast Expressway corridor that's where all the houses are being built right now um Lake Asbury greater than 7,000 homes Oakleaf from middleberg greater than 4,000 Saratoga Springs just that Community alone is about 5,000 homes Governor's Park approximately 6,300 that's about 3,400 Acres that is they're starting to ramp up right now Saratoga Springs they're also starting to ramp up um other areas include Green Cove Keystone Heights and fiming Island it's approximately 3,000 for the rest of the areas for a total of U greater than 25,000 homes if you do the student generation rates and apply the student generation rates to the types of homes that come in you'll see that uh the projecting students are about 11,860 projected students over the course of these homes bu being built now take into consideration that as these homes are being built they're not all built at once they trickle so they they build 100 homes and we get the student generation from those Hunter homes and they trickle into our schools that's the overall outlook for just Lake Asbury alone 1790 elementary students 570 junior high students and 1100 high school students this is one of the reasons that we're building one of the wing editions over in Lake Asbury because we need to be able to accommodate the growth we can't wait for the growth to happen we have to have the seats available as growth happens these are my my favorite pictures or Maps because I can zoom in and show you the pink is it's it's actually happening so that is all the pink is where it's going on right now as we speak um as you can see that whole Sand Ridge Road all the way out to Russell road all the way that and all the way up to the First Coast Expressway uh towards right out Elementary there's a lot of growth going on there and they're still coming to me for more proportionate share mitigation agreements I just got two in in the past two weeks that I have to um go ahead and look over and and submit and figure out the numbers on those so there's no there's no room for elementary students right now with all of the reservations that we have I don't have any room to give the builders so we have to go into proportionate share mtig mitigation for those Builders so you'll see a couple more coming across yes ma'am the three on the furthest right that where they're labeled El ljb land Lee East West Cross Creek obviously is already a planned Community but are those two planned as well they they are okay they don't have a name yet right they don't have a name they did come through DRC okay so they are being play and that LGB land they actually put a proportion to share mitigation that you are approved I think it's 265 homes is that right yeah I have a question yes ma'am so with those new new homes coming and our our new building that we're building at Lake Asbury yes ma'am we're still going to be overcrowded in that area correct eventually yes defined eventually a year I 10 years 10 years yes ma'am so we still have enough time to build a school to yes ma'am okay yes because I get a lot of questions actually about this area what are we going to do when are we going to build another school which I i r them or refer them back to what we've already discussed but as I look at this right now um where where we stand so that's what my question was yes ma'am and that was part of the plan of why we purchased that property because eventually and you can't pinpoint the exact timing we don't know how the economy is going to go So eventually the economy can slow down interest rates keep on going up so we don't know how um home sales are going to go in the future normally when these Builders buy this land and they start they're going to build those homes regardless of how the economy is so that's what we're seeing right now we're seeing where the builders have started in the previous years and once they start they have money invested they're not going to stop anymore so they're going to continue to build those homes um as as the as the time goes on and we see how the economy goes then we'll see whether it slows down or speeds up I'll show you another slide and and just a few slides I'll show you how it really hasn't slowed down at all um and like I said that's why we bought those 95 Acres we were trying to plan ahead so that when we do need that school we have the property to be able to do it because there's no other property there for sale there's every piece of green that you see right there all of that will be homes eventually can I say thank you for planning ahead yes ma'am being proactive thank you we have to jump on it when it's available sometimes we can't find it so we have to jump all over it when it's available this is just without the numbers and so you can just see a good picture of where the growth is happening I love this program because it really tells me in real time of what's going on Oakleaf so Oakleaf is slowed down and I'll show you the percentages but there is still some growth over there quick question when you talk homes are you talking um apartment complexes as well all yes ma'am okay all three types cuz that I'm thinking Oakley ma'am that's where those yes ma'am all three types of H whether it's multi family or single family homes in Lake Asbury it's all single family correct predominantly okay I believe there has there's one development that's trying to come through that's um is single family attached which would be more of a town home a town home right but I still count those a single family for the simple fact that normally they're three bedrooms so they generate the same amount of students as a as a a a regular single family detached home so I count those for the same student generation rate that's what's going on in in Oakleaf right now like I said it's slowed down but we do have some fairly large developments going in over there um what what I want to pay attent what I would like to pay attention to is where we're at in the percentages for the for the elementary schools um as you can see Discovery yolks is a 111 po 95.7 argal 99 um and there's still some growth going on that's why we have to give some relief to these schools in the near future Mr Addison I wanted to just so I'm clear the 750 and then back on Lake asbury's the 3,460 what is that projected number for this year H how many years before we see is that oh no ma'am my my projections are long-term projections so they're 10 plus years no it's not next year no ma' we wouldn't be able to handle that we would be yes ma' that's what I was making sure I'm like are we still on this 10 absolutely we're these are long-term projections these are 10 to 20 year projections so this is over the long term this um different Builders build at different rates normally we can figure around a 100 homes a year per Builder sometimes that fluctuates between 50 and 100 however we have some developments such as Cross Creek last year they built 400 this year they built up I think 250 so there's some developments that really crank them out and then some that remain at a steady pace of 50 to 100 homes per year so no no it's not coming all at once no we wouldn't be able to accommodate that that's the um active construction in Oakleaf middle mberg now middleberg is starting to ramp up so we're starting to see a lot of activity going on in middleberg so we've known that it's going to come is starting to come to fruition now where the builders are like all right it's time to build so Oakleaf has slowed down a little bit and middleberg is ramping up but as of right now we're only projecting only I say only but that's a full school but 900 students these are some of the developments going on in middleberg it's potential of greater than 2100 homes that's the student generation rates um 470 Elementary 140 Junior High and 290 high school students as you can see the construction in middleberg how it's starting to ramp up and once again right along that First Coast Expressway corridor it seems like all of from all the way from Duvall all the way down to St John's County it's all the growth is coming right on that First Coast Expressway Corridor so then we have the Green Cove Springs I call it this the Southeastern portion of the county that's the Green Cove Springs Saratoga Governor's Park growth area now once again miss Gipper this is longterm this is the 10 to 20 year it does take that we have 4,000 homes in one area 2,000 homes in another 5,000 homes in another it does take them quite a long quite a while to build that that number of homes um however with that being said we are still expecting 6,700 students in the long term for that so we will have to accomodate those as they trickle in there's one thing I didn't count in here and I'll try to show it to you this is the map of where these large developments are going Saratoga Springs for the 5,000 preserve is it's basically um it's a smaller development The Rookery and Governor's Park however if you go south they have applied to the state the Agricola property I think it's about 3,500 Acres it has been approved to transmit through the state it will get approved so they will be building about 4,000 more Homes at the most southern point of of Clay County that eventually we will have to accommodate again that's not in here because it's not fully approved yet but I suspect that it will get fully approved this year from the state so that's why I put does not include the 4,000 homes from Agricola that's south of Governor's Park yes ma'am it's South okay these are our um certific certificates of occupancy so our cosos as you can see the different areas and where they are issuing the the co permits Lake Asbury is still running strong at 633 in this this past fiscal year at about 46% they they um they still are that's quite a few homes in that area I was doing the calculations today of just what Lake Asbury alone the 633 homes generate I was just doing some quick math um they're generating about 328 students just this past year so that's over the all three levels though elementary junior high and high school level is about 328 students we generated about 044 students per home so that's how we come up with those calculations um as you can see middleberg has pulled in the second place it has um it's now outgrowing Oakleaf and a total 1363 that is more than we have had in the past two years so that is so we are actually still growing even more and then I also put in how many impact fees have been paid so those are the CEOs and then the impact fees that are paid as you can see that's 1646 so during that fiscal year there's another 300 impact fee permits that have been applied for so once they pay those impact fees they're going to build that home so that that's that's just tells you how the trend the very near near future trend is are there any questions so far I have a question has anyone done done a study as to the timing of when all of these um developments were approved in relation to to when they began building them because I know from when the BC whenever whenever group approves the development right some of those were done years ago correct for example Saratoga Springs in 2000 Governor's Park has been 10 years I it's been a long time um there are quite a few that have been around for 20 something years and it's taken that long for them to either you know wait for the economy to to ramp up for them for to make it feasible to build but yes ma'am there are several of them that that um have been around for a long time and then you have some of them that as soon as they get the land as soon as they purchase the land and as soon as they get uh concurrency from me they're building so it just depends on the Builder um a lot of times the the minute I issue concurrency they're they're calling me on the phone is my concurrency certificate ready is my concurrency certificate ready we're ready to build ready to build so it just depends on on the Builder and normally the larger the development the more time it takes for them to get going I do I have one more question too so as we look at these numbers and we see Lake Asbury being the highest in growth in middleberg do we I know we've added and Oakleaf we've added the building in Oakleaf and we've added like asbery and the other schools that we've talked about with prediction would be Lake asbery and south of Green Cove but do we have predict uh like projections what we're going to do for middleberg yes ma'am we do we um we're looking at other classroom additions to at other schools for example after the two builds that we're doing right now we're looking at ride out which is kind of considered it's both it IT services both middleberg and Lake ASB and it's it's starting to fill up so we're looking at um building that one next and that'll help relieve some of the middleberg area and then we're looking at Coppergate um in future years however we have to look at what do we need right now right now we have to take care of Lake Asbury so but but yes ma'am we we are looking into the the the late future to to make sure we plan to put the student stations where they are needed uh future School sites these are this is the Kay County drri map um the drri stands for deel um development of regional impact it's usually so over a certain amount of homes I think it's 1,000 homes if it's over a thousand homes they have to apply to the state and transmit to the state these are the larger um areas Saratoga Springs Governor's Park um drri technically is not really in effect anymore they they don't have dris anymore from the state of Florida now they're just development orders so they still have to transmit to the state but they're not really considered dris anymore so if you hear drri that kind of an old term now they just call them development orders in Saratoga Springs we have um we're we're planning on the high school in Saratoga Springs we're looking to um begin building at the end of of this decade maybe 2030 we have to start designing and planning a little bit early in there at maybe a couple of years earlier in that um it's going to be an expensive school and then we also looking at sites down um by 16 at 16 and 218 for possibly another elementary school because of the growth that's going on over there and then we have Governor's Park we have three sites in Governor's Park that are going to be conveyed to us they don't have to convey it to us right now there are triggers in the in the prop share agreements of when they have to convey and as of right now we don't technically own the property as they build the homes and a certain amount of homes are built then there those are trigger points so they have to convey that property to us and those are already those have already been pre-planned land areas that um we have approved of where these sites are going to be and also we're and this is longterm again we're looking at a high school and two k8s in that area to service um Governor's Park and and The Rookery and all of those areas um projected near term for the student stations okay took a while to populate as you know right now we are under construction yeah yeah for um Oakleaf Jr for their classroom editions is 32 classrooms and Lake Asbury Jr that we are building them concurrently um both of them 32 classroom additions they're going to add about 704 student stations to each of those schools I mentioned that we're looking at r out next we have to start the planning phase for write out Elementary probably looking at about 12 classrooms on there that's probably all we can get approval for from the state so we have to get approval for all of this before we can build they we just can't just go out and build whatever we want to we have to ask the state and prove that we need these student stations and then we're looking at Lake Asbury Elementary following um write out and during this time we have to try to save for a high school a really expensive high school so we have to um really plan correctly on how to pay for all of these a really expensive high school because it has an auditorium possibly yes yes ma'am I I'm not going toomis I'm not goingon to put I'm not going to make a promise or put Lance Addison stamp but we have tossed that idea around how about that that's a great great way to toss it yeah into the mix yes yes ma'am so is that why it's 200 million now because when we talked about a high school we were thinking 130 okay construction costs are astronomical they keep going up um just to put it in perspective okay and I know that their wind loads are a little different in in Sarasota Sarasota is building a school right now is costing them $310 million for a high school we hope that our wind loads are a little less than Sarah Sarasota's wind loads but we have to take into account that we won't build this school for another six years how much more will construction costs go up in those six years when we do start building it so honestly yes we were looking at 130 then we said 150 and now I'm I'm I'm looking at about 200 to 210 based on my calculations of what we're paying for per square foot uh and adding on a percentage based on uh the Consumer Price Index so I take the square footage and I take the Consumer Price Index add that percentage on coming up with about 200 210 million right now hopefully it'll stay flat Mr Addison ma'am take it back one step to Lake Asbury Elementary you're talking about adding on literally another school to that elementary school with 480 students at least half a school yes ma'am we're looking at about 24 classrooms which would make it a total of how many students do you know well you have to take take into consideration that we also our um our portable reduction plan is also so as we add student stations we're going to try to take as many Portables out of there so we'll be reducing student stations overall and we really don't know the exact capacity of the school until we're right there depending on how the growth goes um just to put it in perspective when we when we um zon Spring Park I took Cross Creek and I put it in the ride out it was 140 students ride out started at about 90% for that year now they're they're bursting at the seams they're about 100% And um Lake Asbury when I took the 140 students out of Lake asbery to put in a write out to give Lake asbery some relief they started last school year at about 85% they're back up to 93% so that tells you that that growth they're still trickling in little by little throughout and and their percentages are still growing so by the time we get Lake Asbury classroom Edition built in 27 we're probably going to fill it up I would I would I would assume that we're probably going to fill it up and and also we also want to reduce as many Portables as we possibly can with these new builds now do we get any any extra I know this is kind of laughable but I gotta ask just so the public can hear it too but do we get any additional funding for being a high growth um or and or um that's a great question cost so so there is something in the statute and I would have to read it so don't quote me on it that if you are a high growth District however when we talk to the state and I talk to the state quite a bit um um the the office of facilities OE F in this educational facilities in the state they ask me a question they say well do you have Mill yes we do do you have lcis lcif yes we do she says you're not getting any money so um you have to have a 1% growth over over a certain amount of time year after year to be able to qualify as a high growth District so we fund ourselves so we're kind of in could we could we not be there by 2030 well it's a it's a year after a year so it's it's it's based on a fiveyear a five-year historical um growth pattern and some years we do qualify however over the past five years the covid year really hit us hard and that kind of took us out of qualification for that so we have to restart we got to restart and start the fiveyear period over again I'm just asking I'm gonna I'll look up the statute for you and kind of and and and figure out the math so that I can go over it and then I can be I can have a little bit more knowledge up here and talk to you about it so I don't want to say anything and and put my foot in my mouth you said I don't mean to put you on but I just want to make sure I'm correct but there is a statue for high growth District yes ma'am okay because I think a lot of times people don't understand um they ask us you know why does the school cost this much or why haven't you built more schools or why haven't you done that but don't raise my taxes and don't don't don't add another Mill or don't do you know so I think asking these questions is good for the public to also understand what we are facing with as a board with high growth High construction costs yes ma'am um and are we utilizing everything that we can to not raise your taxes to not um to be conservative with our money to to be responsible with our money but at the same time are we maxing out other options state federal you know all those dollars so I just wanted to I don't mean to put you on the spot no there I want to also put it out there so people can hear I have calculated that before and I if I remember correctly the reason that we could not apply was because of the covid year it did not give us that it actually had a negative growth in that year so over that fiveyear span it took us out of the running for something like that and I would have to recalculate it again um if you look at cofy numbers over right now um and the only thing I can say about this is it probably the scholarships um just like Dr guto said we started at two million now we're up to 15 million in scholarships our cofy numbers have kind of remained a little bit flat as of late so that would take us out of the running right now because that's not a 1% growth over overall well how far the cost of student stations yes ma'am how far is that behind actual cost do you have an idea what the state considers because I think we had a conversation about how the money they say we should spend is nowhere near enough so so the cost of student station is not in effect anymore and so if there was a lobbying point right that would be an area possibly that we could um High interest in maybe is well so there was you know at one point every time we do new construction we have to give a cost per student station and our cost was always above what the state says is allowable but they don't give us any additional money for it um they've really just given us an exemption and it's across the entire State given us an exemption of you don't have to meet the cost student station because nobody can do it right now at what it what it is but they don't give us any additional money if we're over and we say well we couldn't because of you know market conditions and um you know just general general costs and construction and they say well okay we just say this is how much it cost and this is why and they say okay they don't give any any additional funding Unfortunately they provide a chart that also has a projection throughout I think it goes right now up to um 2032 and it's the CPI index that I go that I use um to to calculate cost of student station or future cost of student station however I take what I do is I go into the office of educational facilities and they have every year they're a little bit behind right now but every year they they um produced um actual plant cost what it what the state is averaging overall to build a plant which is everything included the rways everything so I take that I take that average and I I um multiply a CPI index factor to that to to how I calculate cost of student stations um for the future I love these questions love it and the last time that that cost per student station changed was like 08 or something correct was like several several years ago the cost per student station oh no ma'am they changed they it it actually the CPI index actually goes up a couple of points every year for the cost per student station I think you're you might be referring to impact fees that haven't changed since 2008 no no there there's a document on their website with cost per student station and it's through 2050 um and they'll tell tell you I mean it's it's kind of crazy cuz you're like you it's impossible we can't meet those costs okay yeah I think that's what I was thinking of that it's not not up to date with 2024's cost and revenue okay it's not even close it doesn't take into account the range of counties I mean the cost to build something in Miami is going to be a lot higher than the cost to build something in in Northeast Florida and we're all supposed to have the same cost per student station I mean it just in general doesn't really compute right and this is frustrating so especially when a school is200 million yeah and then you have all this growth and you have okay great questions I appreciate it um any other well Miss Ellis is gonna close it out for me all right thank you Lance he does a great job he does follow the growth um on a daily basis um he's part of um with the county on on their committees as well so we are aware of the growth um and follow it daily I mean it's what we do I don't want the public to think that we're not aware of of what's going on and that we have a plan um part of this efp it's it's required annually by the state so once we go over this with you this is tentative we we make changes we have to submit it to the state as well um and balance our um funding so um we are heavily regulated and watched um and going off of Lance's um growth topics um and this will be a little bit of repeat of Susan's information but these are our Revenue sources that we use when we talk about growth and um funding our educational facility plan in general so these are the different fund sources and as you guys keep peing these R categorical funds and you can see how they're broken out um if you look on page 21 of the efp it does have each uh a more detailed um description of what each fund source is and what we can use it for so this is each fund source and these are the projections of what we're anticipating to receive for each of those fund sources um we do work closely with Susan um and this again is just a more of a break break down of of herpy charts um even drilled down even further um so you have our our capital and that's the property tax and then uh Co and DS is is monies that we can only use for um classroom capacity and PPL which is approved by the state project priority list um again you know you realize that all of these have um these are all categorical we can only use them on certain things so I want to point out after uh Lance's uh presentation on growth you see in 2829 our bottom line has another cops the 2829 cops for 170 5 million is that high school that we're anticipating in Saratoga Springs um his our estimate right now is 200 210 we don't we plan to save over this period of time some of these categorical fundings the Cs monies that we can use for classroom Wings some of those monies Will Roll every year to save for classroom wings um and and other projects um we can also use portions of mill money on classroom Wings if we're doing anything safety related on new classrooms we can also use mill money on that um but just wanted to point out that in 28 29 we are expecting to have to go out for another cops at that point so the current projection is that we would borrow the money in 28 and begin building then yes so we would open in 2030 with the new high scho yes yeah a high school build is going to be at least two years but we would start 28 29 and that would be um getting the architect and Engineers involved in designing this is a table of everything that we use um everything that we're obligated to pay so all the money that we we receive this is what that's what's coming in this is what's going out um you can see our cops what Susan mentioned that's everything um for the new classroom wings for the next 5 years we pay for districtwide equipment uh property Casualty Insurance is 2 million we pay for our maintenance department out of this funding as well with 5 million districtwide technology that's part of their plan as well they have a detailed in there as far as what upgrades they have coming the computer upgrades and what schools that we're putting in new technology the transportation department that's the bus lease that we have the two years on and then the bus maintenance plan will be purchasing um anywhere from 10 to 20 buses from here on out and then of course the charters um and again these are all projections and we base this on an estimate of about right now about 2% per Charter but as you can see the grand total going out is 22 million and when you say bus lease you're talking about a lease purchase correct yes correct we we will own those buses lot of people think that oh got to turn it in oh no no no no we will own those buses so just just going back to here's all the fund sources here's what we pay out before we look at facility type projects and then we have a list in the back of the efp packet um of every line by line every project that we plan to do this year um and that includes mill money Mill Mill projects as well um and this is just a snapshot of a general idea of the projects that we're planning to complete this year in the efp quick question melis I the project worksheet goes through 28 29 5year plan yes and if we don't see something on this list that we may have seen in the past can we ask you about it afterwards sure absolutely just a couple of schools that I frequently hear from okay sure sure and this is tentative got it um if if there's anything between tenative and final that for whatever reason we missed it or we already did something on it um um we can revise this and and that goes for any time of year if there's a major project that comes up we can come back to this and revise it and what I and here again it would it also helps then to discuss it with you because what I'm reading and what a Layman might be reading might have a different um sure outcome to what you're planning in other words I may be asking for whatever doors and you may say well this this particular project includes doors and windows something like correct correct or if it's a renovation it might be listed differently to include more yeah okay thank you okay uh that's all I have for um capital projects yes I have a question just because we talked about this the other day um the track improvements are that is that where are we're not doing are we okay I guess because somebody had asked me about this too and I I went and saw this on here are we're not putting in rubber tracks at every high school or are we we are okay so that's what this track Improvement would be yes what's what school specifically are you well right here I'm looking at fling Island high okay just because I'm on this page but it says okay so that's what that would be when you see that okay yes all the high schools will have the rubber tracks we have um we're finishing up Clay High right now um we just we had to tear out all the asphalt and they will at the beginning of 25 do the um the rubberized track um followed by Oakleaf High and then Fleming Island high okay any other questions we're not delaying clay High's football schedule right no NOP not at all no we won't we won't do that to any personal privilege okay that's all if let me know if you guys have any questions comments um and again between tenative and final we will um tell you what we have changed if anything i' I've got one comment it's all right um it goes back to Portables and that I want to make sure that we've got that in the Forefront and and as we're doing these buildings the expansion that's what we're trying to absolutely yes so people know that we have not forgotten that absolutely abolutely so yeah and remind people that we do have a lot it'll be kind of one of those how do you eat an elephant you know one bite at a time it'll it'll take some time but absolutely we we've got a plan and I I just want to say it's a wise plan because I I see that you're doing it in areas where the growth is paying for those additional buildings and so once we're able to build another elementary school then you can take a lot of those Portables Offline that way I think it's very financially responsible so I appreciate your foresight and your planning thank you I was wondering if we could make kind of a I think we talked about this before should have like a bar graph somewhere you know to show the portable reduction act going there are districts that actually do that so we're about to put up these 32 that would be a real nice start to the visual that people could actually see where that as it occurs I guess and I know it's a big number yeah but to take it down 100 is a big deal and if you're looking at certainly yeah share that and they have it in like a cal location like on a wall where they um display the progress that they've made yeah on our website um and you have celebrations when you get 10% that's a big deal you know and we are making big strides to that with these two new additions so we reach a certain percentage and then Josh has a barbecue for everyone invites everyone are we burning portable wood for that I don't think I'd eat anything that was cooked with that I'll sign him up for that he'll he'll love me for that too one more thing now all right our next item then is to approve the tenative 2024 2025 through 2028 2029 educational facilities plan do I have a motion I move approval and do I have a second I second motion from Miss Bola second from Miss Skipper give everybody a chance to refresh their computers all in favor please say I I any opposed motion carries 5 Z and Madam chair before we move forward on agenda item number seven we made the motion to approve the total millage it was stated 6.44 that was last year's number uh supposed to be 6234 I think uh the Board needs to make a motion to to amend previously adopted agenda item 7 to State 6.23 4 is a total millage it doesn't change any of the numbers uh motions 3 four five and six or agenda items 3 four five and six total to 6.2 34 okay so can I have a motion to amend um the action taken on item number seven and the motion would be that we would change the millage from 6.44 as previously stated to 6234 do I have a motion for approval of that Amendment I'll make a motion to approve the change from 6.44 um to amend it to 6.2 34 34 do we have a second I'll second okay I have a motion from Miss Hansen and a second from Miss Skipper any discussion all in favor please say I I any opposed motion carries 5 thank you for catching that Miss onor are you able to okay all right then

and we had a couple of folks join us and thank you for being here anybody else Miss Hansen yeah um I know as a politician with constituents there's a lot of questions posed online I read a lot I don't acknowledge very often but what I want to tell people of Klay County if you have questions about this budget I've spoke to Dr leuo she is really the expert and has and is willing to meet with any single person who doubts what they hear or doubt what they understand or needs to amend their thinking she would be willing to meet meet with you I am always disappointed about how much traffic there is online and conversation online and how few people actually show up and participate in the real process so for those of you that would like to gather I guess more information on a very complicated subject Dr leeko would be willing to meet with you all right any further comment this meeting is adjourned for
