Mr. Stegall asked Ms. Uslan to add anything to the previous month's presentation regarding the facility assessment. Mr. Stegall informed the board that he feels confident that the district can get a lot of work done on the building and have the ability to pay for it with the presentation from King Financial last month. He stated the annual levy of $223,000 would not increase but rather extend the length of time. Ms. Uslan stated the plan is to post the legal notices for the RFP's. Engie will submit an RFP and hope that the district choses them for the project.
