Recognition:

Presentations:
Mrs. Thorpe gave a financial overview of the financial needs/condition of the district. Several scenarios where presented to the Board regarding the renewal of upcoming emergency levies at the last Board meeting. The scenario in discussion is non-renewing two upcoming emergency levies and leaving the third emergency levy in place. These emergency levies would be replaced on the ballot with one combined emergency levy in the amount of 5 million. The Board asked what amount a 5 million levy would cost the homeowners of Monroe at the previous meeting. Mrs. Thorpe has the figures as $211.00 additional cost to the homeowner of a $100,000 home. The Board is still interested in information regarding a Substitute Levy. This is still before the Senate Sub-committee as HB562.
