The first page compares the current month to the same month from last year with the corresponding percentage change for both revenue and expense. It is then further broken down by showing the actual current month’s activity in each individual fund. The second page looks at previous and current year to date revenue and expenditures and compares them against last year’s actuals and the current year budget along with corresponding percentages for each. Also included are the two dashboard reports that show high-level results: one for revenue and one for expenses. Both reports visually compare the current year actuals against the prior year as well as how we compare against monthly projections at this point in the fiscal year. Revenue: The month of January is typically a month of not much revenue collection, with the district receiving just under $8 million, or less than 3% of all budgeted revenue. These receipts include our State monthly Evidence Based Funding as well as the second categorical reimbursements for transportation and special education. Local funding consisted mainly of the fifth of eight distributions for Corporate Personal Property Replacement taxes as well as investment income, both again at higher than expected levels. To date, we’ve received almost 95% of the budgeted revenue and monthly revenue receipts will continue to be low until the end of the year. Overall, there are no concerns with revenue projections to the end of the year. Expenditures: Taking out capital outlay expenses for the close-out of the Steeple Run addition as well as the wall rebuild project at NCHS, expenses are tracking at a similar pace against last year at this time. Those costs will be part of an amended budget to be brought later this year. Salaries and benefits are slightly behind pace of budgeted spend due to one less payroll period to date. This is expected to catch up as the year closes out. There are no other concerns to report for this period. We will continue to watch spending through the end of the year and report any significant budget variances.

Furthermore, we recommend the Board authorize the administration to execute all necessary documents related to this bid. BACKGROUND: The Capital Improvement Plan presentation in December 2023 included this work for the NNHS tennis court which is in dire need for replacement. There have been incremental repairs and patches completed over the life of this court, but it has reached the end of its useful life. I would like to acknowledge that we received only two bids for this work. Post-tension concrete tennis courts, especially of our size, require certain expertise that we outlined in our specifications. However, I am confident that we received competitive bids based on the results and that we had qualified bidders for this work. The original estimate for this project was presented as $1,600,000. The base bid, with required contingencies and allowances of $94,750 added in, came in at $1,724,750. There were three alternates as part of the bid package, two of which we would like to also accept. Alternate #1 is to add a premium color to the court design. The court coloring is currently a standard green with blue courts. The alternate was to have orange with blue courts. There was concern about the cost of continued maintenance on a premium color. The cost of this alternate is $44,500 but we wish to decline. Alternate #2 is to install windscreen slats in the new fencing around the court. Currently, our staff spend many manhours to install and uninstall the current banner-type windscreens around the court. The banner-type windscreens also tend to need to be replaced often. The windslats are a welcome upgrade in regard to space and labor considerations. The cost for Alternate #2 is $23,042. We would like to accept. Alternate #3 is to do an overlay versus full asphalt replacement in the parking lot and driveway near the courts. The bid document includes a replacement of the asphalt area outside of the courts due to the current condition of the asphalt as well as the expected damage that may occur during the court project. Our general asphalt parking lot procedure is to complete the overlay process, we would like to accept this alternate. The deduction of cost for Alternate #3 is $102,000. FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT: Base Bid with required contingencies & allowances = $ 1,724,750 Alternate #1 = decline Alternate #2 = $23,042 Alternate #3 = -$102,000 Total Bid = $1,645,792 This project is planned for and will be budgeted within the FY24-25 Operations & Maintenance capital improvement budget.

Action by Consent Subject 7.11 Bid: NNHS Track Meeting Mar 18, 2024 - Business Meeting 7:00 p.m., Closed Session 5:00 p.m., District Administration Center, 203 West Hillside Road, Naperville, IL 60540 Type STAFF CONTACT: Michael Frances, CFO/CSBO Melanie Brown, Director of Buildings and Grounds SUBJECT: Bid Recommendation for NNHS Track Replacement RECOMMENDATION: We, along with our architects from Wight & Company, recommend that the District award the bid for NNHS Track Replacement to the lowest qualified bidder, Troch McNeil of Elk Grove Village, IL . Furthermore, we recommend the Board authorize administration to execute all necessary documents related to this bid. BACKGROUND: The Capital Improvement Plan presentation in December 2023 included this work for the NNHS track that is in dire need of replacement. There has been an overlay improvement and several repair jobs in the past that have allowed track usage, but we are now at a point where it needs to be replaced. The original estimate for this project was presented as $675,000. The base bid came in at $674,350, which includes another overlay of the track. However, there were three alternates as part of the bid package that we would like to also accept. Alternate #1 is to replace the fence and gates around the track area. The track and field space is the most utilized and public-experienced space on campus. The fences and gates are in disrepair and would be scheduled to be replaced in the near future. Since that area will be under construction now for improvements, we would like to accept this alternate and complete this work at the same time. The cost for Alternate #1 is $104,875. Alternate #2 is to install a trench drain around the “D-Zone.” The D-Zone is the area of track by the south end zone. This area historically has drainage issues that affect the constitution of the track material. This addition will assist in the drainage and maintenance in this area and extend the life of that section of track. The cost for Alternate #2 is $24,500. Alternate #3 is to do a full asphalt removal on the full track loop versus an overlay. This process will allow for proof rolling and re-compaction of the entire base and repair potential week spots. This will extend the life of the track system and will eliminate reflective cracking. The cost for Alternate #3 is $126,800. It should be noted that while the total bid award will be $927,525 if all alternates are accepted, there is a built in $100,000 contingency in the project. This means that if we do not run into any unexpected challenges or need for change orders, the cost will be lowered to $827,525. FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT: Base Bid = $674,350 Alternate #1 = $104,875 Alternate #2 = $24,500 Alternate #3 = $126,800 Total Bid = $927,525 This project is planned for and will be budgeted within the FY24-25 Operations & Maintenance capital improvement budget.

This abatement has been accounted for in all forecasting scenarios. TIMELINE: March 4, 2024 - Discussion without Action March 18, 2024 – Discussion with Action Week Following Approval, if received – File Abatement Documents with Will and DuPage County. BACKGROUND: Annually, the Board of Education has the option to abate all or part of the debt service levy if it is determined that the District has adequate resources to make the required bond payments without the tax levy. The 2023 levy year required bond and interest payments total $1,285,000. Since the district is estimated to receive $71,750 from the Federal Government for offset on the Build America Bonds, the abatement is for $1,213,250. FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT: Abating the 2023 debt service levy requires a transfer from the Education Fund to the Debt Service Fund.

BACKGROUND: Administration, in consultation with the Board and the Citizen Finance Advisor Committee, has planned to abate the 2023 Debt Service levy. In order to provide funding to the Debt Service Fund for the bond and interest payments, we must execute an inter-fund transfer from the Educational Fund to the Debt Service Fund in the amount of $1,213,250 to provide funding for the bond payments in lieu of collecting the 2023 debt service taxes. The attached resolution meets all legal requirements. FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT: The levy year 2023 bond and interest payment is $1,285,000 but we have an offset of Build America Bond revenue estimated at $71,750. This results in a reduction of $1,213,250 of the Education Fund balance. ENCLOSURES: Debt Service Transfer Resolution File Attachments Debt Service Resolution - Ed to Debt Transfer.pdf (154 KB) 11.

Furthermore, we recommend the Board authorize administration to execute all necessary documents related to this proposal. BACKGROUND: Our Focus203 Strategic Blueprint item 3.1 is to identify and create a long term plan to reduce the District’s Carbon Footprint. To guide us in achieving this commitment we solicited a Request for Qualifications for Carbon Action Plan & Greenhouse Gas Accounting Services. We had nine companies respond with proposals and we interviewed four finalists in February. We are excited to recommend Keramida to be our partner in this project. The project will be conducted in two parts. The first will be gathering historical data to develop and identify a baseline Greenhouse Gas inventory. The second will entail developing a Carbon Action Plan that will have realistic, achievable, and implementable strategies to achieve our carbon footprint reduction goals. Further details on the action steps are in the proposal included in this agenda item. As we move through the steps of this project, there will be opportunities for updates and stakeholder engagement. FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT: The proposed cost of this engagement is up to $12,000 for greenhouse gas inventory and up to $25,000 for development of a Carbon Action Plan.
