07.14.2026 Regular Governing Board Meeting

The SCV35 Communications Governing Board held a regular meeting on July 14, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on the adoption of the fiscal year 2027 budget and associated tax rates. The board approved the budget totaling $43.6 million for the operating fund, including a 9% override amounting to $2 million, and a $4 million capital fund. The tax rate presentation highlighted a decrease in the primary tax rate due to increased property valuations and a drop in enrollment, resulting in a lower tax burden despite rising property values. The board also discussed the financial implications of the override, emphasizing its importance in maintaining current programs and staffing levels. Additionally, the board approved the release of a contract with assessment of liquidated damages. Policy updates related to membership dues for policy advisement were noted but deferred for future discussion. The meeting concluded with approval of the consent agenda and scheduling of upcoming board meetings.
