President Goelzer introducedBoard of Education candidates, Jason Dowd, Theodore Kinnaman, James Halbach, Tod Daniel, and Susan Jacobson.Comm. Thompson moved, seconded by Comm. Jacobson, to accept and place on file the minutes of the December 14 and 22, 1993 meetings of the Board and expulsion hearings of December 13 and 20, 1993. The motion carried.Grace Johnson, 2913 Dakota Drive, retired Janesville citizen, said she is concerned about the education of Janesville students and feit it is time the retired also help pay for the education of children other than their own. Building a new middle school now, she said, would save money in the long run Barbara Brackett, 2403 Ruger Avenue, told the Board that she feit the only fiscally responsible thing to do would be to build a new middle school, as there is no way to overcome the problems of poor parking, and inadequate safety, health, and classrooms conditions. She asked the Board to provide information to the citizens of Janesville regarding the conditions at Marshall. Philip Groth, 530 S. Parker Drive, told the Board that everyone must find ways to educate the children in spite of misgivings about the needs of athletics. The system should be educating children to learn how to prepare for future jobs He requested the Board consider a different option than building a new middle school George Kiskunas, 3414 Ruger Ave., member of the Marshall Middle School Advisory Committee, said he was concerned and he hoped the Board would not put off doing something about the problems in the elementary schools. He said that the district needs a new elementary school in the area of increasing enrollments. James Halbach, 2204 N. Concord Drive, said he remembers attending Marshall Middle School twenty years ago and he remembers the problems with the building at that time. He said he can only imagine that it has become worse. Some students, he said, are being taught in closets. He felt the people did not know enough about the situation at Marshall during the last referendum and he hoped more information would be available to the public if the question goes to referendum again. Al Hough, 432 Harmony, said it must first be determined how long Marshall Middle School would be an effective school from a student's point of view and second, until alternative uses for the Marshall Middle School structure ore proposed, the district will have a hard time getting the citizens to abandon the building.Dr. Mrdienovich informed the Board that the blower that had burned out at Marshall last week has been replaced.Comm. Huth moved, seconded by Comm. Karges, to approve the consent agenda items: a. Approval of Payment of Bills in the amount of $790,353.59; b Receive and File the Fund Summary Report; c. Appointments of Ufa Brace, Cheryl Mitbv, and Lynn Weil-brenner; d. Resignation of Monica Crandall; e. Authorization to send preliminary notice of non-renewcl to persons holding limited term contracts or conditional contracts: Sara Jean Aschom, Jean Ashenfelte*-, Nancy Bandsma, Ufa Brace, Mary Fox, Lon Lawrence, and Cheryl Mitby; and f. Commendations: Craig-Girts Tennis (doubles), GirlsCross Country Team, Girls Swim, Craig Pom Pons, Wisconsin Honors Band (3 students), and Parker-Boys Cross Country (individual). The motion carried.Comm. Anderson moved, seconded by Comm. Johnson, to send a letter to legislators, the Governor, and WASB to support allowing an increase in a school district's revenue limit in the subsequent year if the district does not increase its revenues by the maximum amount allowed under the current year's limit. The motion carried.Douglas Bunton, Director of Business Services, handed out financial projections for 1994-95 through 1997-98. The 1997-98 fiscal year would be the last year to come underthe revenue cap recently imposed. The projections are used in developing budgets and determining possible increases and reductions necessary to remain within the revenue caps. Comm. Jacobson asked Mr. Bunton to explain the benefit of the fire doors at Marshall Middle School. He answered that the intent was to slow the rate of spread of fire. Originally, DIHLR guidelines were toenclose the stair-wells, but given the design of the building, that couldn't be done,Mr. Bunton told the Board that although he had been an advocate of building a new elementary building, he would now recommend adding to existing buildings first to take careof the immediate problems. Even with the proposed additions, he added, portables may still have to be used in some areas and a new building would be needed by the year 2000 In answer to questions from the Board, Mr. Bunton said the district does not own land on the west side of town for a new building, but the city has earmarked a site out past Parker High School on Austin Road for that purpose. Mr. Bunton commented that it would be difficult to get a new building ready for occupancy by the fall of 1995, possibly by the fall of 1996. Mr. Bunton said the recommendations presented try to eliminate the use of portable classrooms. Comm. Karges asked if it would be viable to reduce the size of the additions and build a new school. Mr. Bunton answered it would be a possible alternative, but it again depends on the Board's determination of the proper size of the new building. If the building were to hold a maximum of 550 students, that is one scenario; if the building holds a maximum of 450 students, then the district may still need 2-4 classroom additions.Comm. Daniel moved, seconded by Comm. Johonson, that the Board direct administration to draft a borrowing resolution to borrow 3.3 million dollars for the purpose of building additions to Monroe, Madison, and Adams Elementary schools and remodeling Washington Elementary School to construct a lunchroom.

Resolutions that might go to a referendum at the Spring election would need to be acted upon at the February 8, 1994 meeting of the Board. The district, he said, could borrow 1.5 million dollars from the State Trust Fund, but would need to submit a special application to the trust fund for any additional dollars. A 3-million dollar borrowing would be within the spending cap and would not have to go to referendum, although the voters could petition for a referendum. Steve Fiskum, Hammel Green and Abrahamson, presented slides of middle schools recently built and gave the Board an update on construction costs. Mr. Fiskum pointed out construction optionssuch as not having a separate auditorium and combining a stage area with the cafeteria. The Board also discussed the question as to whether a pool should be a part of the school building project. Comm, Huth moved, seconded by Comm. Karges, to direct administration to draft the proper resolutions to build a new middle school for not to exceed $13,700,000, with options to build an auditorium for $900,000 and to build a pool for $1,000,000. The motion carried on an 8-1 vote with Comms. Anderson, Goelzer, Huth, Jacobson, Johnson, Karges, Mittness, and Thompson voting in the affirmative. Comm. Daniel opposed the motion. Comm. Daniel moved, seconded by Comm. Thompson, to apply to the Commissioner of Public Lands for the State Trust Fund for $3,000,000 for additions to Monroe, Madison, and Adams Elementary Schools and for remodeling to Washington Elementary School. The motion carried on an 8-1 vote with Comms. Anderson, Daniel, Goelzer, Huth, Jacobson, Johnson, Karges, and Thompson voting in the affirmative. Comm.
