In a historic move, the Exeter-Milligan school board sold the
Milligan school building and grounds to the village of Milligan during their
regular meeting June 12th in Milligan.
After the board opened the meeting and approved the
consensus agenda, the meeting was opened for public comment.
Milligan resident Gerald Slezak asked about specifics on the
sale of the Milligan building. Both
board president Adam Erdkamp and member Eric Milton responded.
Milton, who also serves on the village of Milliigan board,
replied specifically to Slezak’s query about the purpose the village will use
the building for, “anytime you look at any property there is always potential.”
He noted that the village had no specific plan for the
property at the moment.
The village purchased the property for $10,000 and the
district will pay the village each year for the next five years to use the
property in essentially the same way they are using it now.
The gym is used for an extra practice space, the locker
rooms are used for football games and some of the other buildings are used by
the district as well. The community will
have access if the facility is available but the district will maintain the
first priority,
Exeter-Milligan Superintendent Paul Sheffield updated the
board on the Elementary HVAC project. The
old boilers are being replaced and a whole new system is being installed.
The board looked at some options for dates when the EMF coop
area committee could meet.
The board reviewed and approved multiple policy updates many
updated by legislative action. Sheffield highlighted the changes in the
contract with A & M, Inc and the board approved the new contract for one
year.
The next topic was the elementary remodeling project and the
board discussed hiring a new design firm.
The board voted 5-0 to accept the sale and the lease agreement
of the Milligan building (Milton abstained).
The district will cover the costs of demolition of the old building should
the village opt to go that route.
The board set the next meeting for July 15 in Exeter.
