\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 \u00a0The Jamestown Public School Board \u00a0met Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The school board discussed the \u00a0referendum \u00a0and election on Tuesday, September 24, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Thompson Community Room at Jamestown Middle School.<\/p>\n

If passed, the referendum would give the board the authority to double the district’s building fund from 10 mills to 20, a total of $718,000 annually.<\/p>\n

Superintendent, Robert Lech said “This is a piece of the solution, not the solution.<\/p>\n

We’re spending more than what we’re bringing in already … we’re asking for help.”<\/p>\n

Lech said the increase would amount to a $45 annual tax increase on a residential home valued at $100,000. The additional tax would be on tax statements distributed in December.<\/p>\n

Lech added that the district plans to \u00a0levy the maximum 20 mills for the next several years to cover larger projects, including a $6.5 million HVAC\/temperature control upgrade, building upgrades and roofing installments.<\/p>\n

The school board is looking for 10 additional temporary employees to assist with the September election.<\/p>\n

In other business, the school board approved reviewing a request from Jamestown Parks and Recreation to support a Jack Brown Stadium upgrade.<\/p>\n
