EJ :AP � August 15, 1975 � T0: COLI�iOV COUNCIL FRO�I: CITY MANAGER / S�BJECT: ASSEMBLY BILL 964 AND PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS STATUS REPORT Attached is a memorandum from Ed Johnson; Executive Director of the League oi Wisconsin Municipalities and a copy of Assembly Bill 964 re�aring to the chanoiuo of the school system organization in the state. Unde� fihis Bill, our school district would be required to change to either a unified school district or a common school district. In either case, there would no longer be a Fiscal Control Board with any financial control or say so relative to tae schools. It is my understanding that the Board of Education or at least thz school adninistration is �.u�support of this Bill. This ineans basically �hat thz Board or Education would adopt i�s awn budget and set its own tax rate. T'he City, of course, would still be responsible for collecting the t�es. If the Council is in concurrence with this, it is not necessary to take any � position. If the Cauncil, however, feels t`nat.it should retain the present system with a Fiscal Control Board �vith some input into the budgeting of the school systen, then it would be appropriate to request that a resoluti.on be � placed on the Council agenda taking a position in opgosiL-ion to the Bill. Ii any Council Member wants such a resolution on the next Council agenda, please let me know. � � � � Attached is a capy of a status report on various Public LJorks Projects prepared by Jac'� Schneider, Director oF Public Works. This is self-explanatory. A capy o� tnis will be given to the press. �BJsj 1 8205 N r-I � �� ' � m � U �r-I Fi +� 1 u� F-i Y-1 N 'i� � r-1 r-I O r-I O �� .Q U � bD � Z7 v-� N u2 h-{ O 4-i O � �o o .N � +� t� � � �-+ •� o � �� c� r� +� � A� O 'i� � 0 H � 0 � � 0 � .-� .-. m m � `. � � N N � � � � 0 a � LC� ti � r-I � �� x N � � � U N + � � � � � �
