# F&R Commitee Meeting, October 21, 2026

Tosa Schools’ Finance and Resource Committee met on October 21, 2026. The main procurement-related discussion concerned the district’s grounds-management services with TrueGreen. Committee members asked for information on alternatives to the current turf and weed-control approach, including the city’s integrated pest management practices, available TrueGreen programs, and their costs. TrueGreen agreed to provide cost breakdowns, and district staff were asked to prepare a comparison and summary for committee review. The district said it typically plans the work and budget around this time of year; the service is handled on a year-by-year basis. No contract award or change was approved. The committee also reviewed flood-related building repairs: a permitted connection to the city storm sewer is being scheduled as part of phase one, with foundation waterproofing and new drain tile planned for summer 2027. No project cost or contract award was stated.

The committee reviewed September financials, with spending at 15.12% against 15% expected and the district projecting to finish within $100,000 of budget, subject to later adjustments. Members discussed an upcoming board action on the tax levy and a proposed early debt payoff with at least $380,000 in interest savings; no levy or debt action was voted on at this committee meeting. The district also presented progress and spending dashboards for referendum-funded projects and said it can discontinue a paid reporting subscription by using software it already owns. The committee approved the September 16, 2026 minutes. No other procurement awards or purchasing approvals were identified.
