AGENDA ITEMS <br />A. MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENDUM <br />Mounds View School District Superintendent Chris Lennox thanked to Council for allowing <br />them to come discuss the bond request that will be on this fall's election ballot. <br />Mounds View School District Board Members Marre Jo Sager and Sandra Westerman gave <br />a presentation with information relevant to the upcoming bond referendum. <br />Councilmember Brenda Holden said she received a piece of literature that said the bond was <br />being requested because of the pressure TCAAP will put on the schools and asked if the school <br />district is using TCAAP as a reason for the bond. <br />Ms. Westerman stated that TCAAP is a piece of projected enrollment growth, but not the driving <br />force behind the bond request. She said there is a lot of existing development turnover happening <br />now in the neighborhoods and other developments being built that are contributing to the <br />enrollment. <br />Councilmember Holden noted that there are already 2 levy line items on resident's tax bill from <br />the school district. <br />
