Uintah School District Claims Paid Ads About Expenditures Untrue Story and Photo

by Jack Gillund jgillund@ubmedia.biz

Countering ads that the district is miss-managing its budget, and making plans to build elaborate facilities, the Uintah School District’s business manager recently sent an email to district employees. That email describes what he claims is actually taking place.

“I have received multiple inquiries asking questions about the Uintah School District’s finances, Derek Anderson, the district’s business administrator, said in the email. “These emails appear to be the result of a few newspaper ads that have been published.”

“We’ve only heard com-

plaints from the group that has been complaining the entire time,” Anderson told the Vernal Express. “The people that are running the ads in the paper.”

According to Anderson, one of the claims made in the ads is that the district intends to spend $20 million to build a new district office.

“Ultimately, it’s not representative of what has been discussed with the board,” Anderson said. “The board, all five members who are currently on the board, which includes Mr. Caldwell, know what the plans have been.”

Those plans, Anderson explained, have “always been a CEC (Central Education Center) facility,” which is a school, the transportation facility and another district office that would consolidate departments into one facility.

“Right now, our technology is in the preschool. It’s part of the preschool. We have a foods warehouse, which is its own separate place with the offices for foods. We have the transportation, which is another separate facility,” he said. “We have talked about having essentially the district office piece, just the one district office piece, include the foods department head, the technology department head and the transportation department head over in the one facility, (to help a parent who) comes in and says ‘I need to pay school fees,’ or ‘I need to deal with my student’s (bus) route,’ or ‘I’m enrolling a new student what do I do?’”

The way the district is currently configured, according to Anderson, means that parents would have to travel to separate locations throughout the Vernal area to accomplish these tasks.

Under the district’s plan, they would only need to make one stop, at one facility.

“The transportation facility, with all the busses, with the bays, is all still going to be a stand-alone facility,” he said. “The preschool is still going to be a stand-alone facility, we would just be pulling technology out of it. The school foods facility would remain the school foods facility for the warehouse of

A messAge from KeVin DicKson:

I wanted to thank my supporters for all of the time and effort you have put into this race. For those of you still deciding who to vote for in School Board District #2, I wanted to let you know a little bit about myself in the hopes it will help your decision.

Over the past forty years, I have worked for the Uintah School District as a teacher, coach, administrator, and, for the past few years, a school board member. Based on those experiences, I think a good school board member needs to understand the following: • The best way to give our children the best education they can have is to empower our educators. This requires competitive salaries, strong staff support, twenty-first century facilities, and genuine commitment to those who have devoted their careers to the education of this community’s children.

• School boards make tough decisions on which reasonable people can (and do) disagree all of the time. In making those decisions, board members should review all facts before them, and then vote in the way they believe best serves the children of this district.

• Passion and commitment to this district and its students are crucial. This is not a part-time, once-a-month, job.

• A well-rounded education involves more than test scores, and students’ talents – whether they be in math, literature, the Arts, sports, and/or the trades – must be nurtured and encouraged whatever they may be.

If you would like someone with my background and the above views representing you for the next four years on the school board, I ask for your vote. In addition, regardless of who receives your vote, I ask that this community continue to support the Uintah School District, its students, and its educators as they have for the past forty years. We have a great school system, in large part because we have a great community, and I firmly believe that will never change.

The Vernal Youth Council includes back row, left to right, Mayor Doug Hammond, Jackson Liesik, Bowde Mold, Derek Mansfield, Eoin O'Hearn, and Quinten James. In the front row, Melanie Peacock, Kacee Bennion, Liberty Bennion, Emily Siddoway and Rosalinda White.

By Bruce Tippets btippets@ubmedia.biz

Vernal City Mayor Doug Hammond conducted the swearing in of Vernal’s Youth Council on Oct. 3 during the regularly scheduled Vernal City Council meeting.

The youth city council is sponsored by Vernal City Council. This year the youth council includes a mayor, city manager, judge, deputy recorder, tourism, police chief, parks and recreation, fire chief and a water superintendent.

Heidi Bennion is the youth city council parent advisor for the group.

“We like to have 10 to 12 students,” Bennion said.

“That is a good manageable number. They can learn their positions that they decide to pick and learn more about. We really want as many involved as we can. City government is something I didn’t know a lot about as a youth. I’m thrilled there are students that are interested in learning more about it.”

Bennion said the group picked the positions because those are the main contributors to the city.

“Every year we list out those main positions,” Bennion said.

“This year, we added the judge and the tourism. They will go and interview the people and bring the information back to our meeting to tell us what their role is and what they learned.”

The youth city council is made up of Jackson Liesik, tourism; Bowde Mold, police chief; Derek Mansfield, parks and recreation; Eoin O’Hearn, fire chief; Quinten James, water superintendent; Melanie Peacock, deputy recorder; Kacee Bennion, judge; Liberty

Bennion, co-mayor; Emily Siddoway, co-mayor; Rosalinda White, city manager.

“I’m pretty excited about being the mayor,” Liberty said.

“It’s a pretty neat opportunity.”

Liberty said one of the highlights last year was when the group traveled to Salt Lake City and meet with local lawmakers and the governor.

“That was a lot of fun when we toured the capitol building,” Liberty explained. “We also got to sit in a legislation meeting.”

Siddoway wants the youth council to do a lot of service for the community.

“That is what I really like about this is that it’s completely service oriented,” Siddoway said. “I really hope to get some stuff done for the community.”

Right now, Siddoway said the group is in the process of planning a clothes drive tentatively set for November.

“We also cleanup the high school parking lot,” Siddoway explained.

Siddoway liked how the word is spreading more around Uintah High School about being on the youth council.

“It’s a big group,” Siddoway said.

Heidi wanted to mention the youth council is making plans on going into a nursing home and visiting with the people.

“They are also talking about helping a family for Thanksgiving that they can provide a meal for,” Heidi said.

Heidi enjoys the atmosphere the youth council brings to the table.

“I love how service minded these kids are,” Heidi said. “We ask at every meeting who has

Air Traffic on Rise at Vernal Regional Airport Passengers exit a United Express Flight after landing Friday at Vernal Regional Airport. According to airport officials, air traffic has increased since SkyWest began flying there four months ago.

In the four months since SkyWest started flying out of Vernal Regional Airport, records show an increase of nearly 600 passengers monthly. Continuing that trend, could mean big dollars for the facility.

“There are certain benchmarks, for us as an airport, within the (Department of Transportation) Essential Air Service program that we have to meet,” said Doug Brown, airport manager at Vernal Regional Airport. “We have to be averaging 13 passengers per flight in order to meet our subsidy cap. We are now averaging over 17 per flight, which is good news for us because at 16 and one-half, 17 people, that average puts us in a new bracket.

“Thirteen is the minimum that we have to do to meet the requirements with the DOT,” he added. “Seventeen is where we look at getting to 10,000 people per year flying out of here.”

Ten Thousand, Brown said, is where funding begins to increase dramatically. According to him, if the airport can maintain or improve on its current passenger numbers, it will see an increase in entitlement funding from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) from $150,000 to $1 million.

“It’s going to be very close this year, because we had the first half of the year with Boutique” he said.

The monthly passenger enplanement average with Boutique, according to Brown, was approximately

1100 people. Currently, with SkyWest, the airport is averaging about 1700 passengers each month and “did over 2,000 people in the month of August alone.”

Brown said that corelates to an increase in travelers of approximately 150 percent.

According to him, while the number of people who fly s into the terminal has added to the total use numbers, it is the number who fly out , (enplanements) that matter.

If the area can continue to see an increase in that number, it could mean additional money for the facility. l “We are really shooting for as many as we can possibly s get,” he said. “Our goal is, in the 2019 calendar year we will hit that 10,000 enplanement and be able to receive the $1 million towards projects here on the airport.”

said, include repaying the county for previously purchased equipment, the possibility of a new terminal building, a crosswind runway, and additional hanger space – just to name a few.

“Eligible projects that the FAA approves,” he said.

Brown is hoping that area residents realize the benefits a local airport provides.

“Four months have been good,” he said. “We have to

kind of anticipate February in the Uintah Basin when everybody is just chugging along and doing their job and not worrying about flying out of here. February for Boutique was always their slower month. However, looking at that, I also have to consider that that was one of their worst performing months.

This year in February, they averaged an hour late on every flight.”

“I don’t know why Mr. Caldwell is saying we are going to be building a $20-million-dollar district office,” he added.

“As you can see, the district office is the smallest piece of it.”

That piece, according to architectural estimates, would cost $2 to $3 million, or just 10 percent of what paid school board ads are claiming.

Anderson said. “That’s been the claim. What this includes is actually three separate facilities. Three buildings, not just one.”

Those three buildings include a new transportation facility (estimated to cost between $5 million and $7 million), a new Central Cove (preschool) building (estimated to cost between $7 million and $10 million), and a new district office (estimated to cost between $2 million and $3 million).

All of which are planned to be built where the CEC facility is – on land owned by the district.

Another claim Anderson says that is falsely made in the advertisements is that construction costs would incur an inflation rate of 7.15 percent. His email counters that claim stating that the rate is currently 3.47 percent.

“That’s the 20-year average, based off of the National Association of Home Builders,” he said.

Claim three, Anderson stated, is that the school board currently has $50 million in surplus just waiting for use.

“This claim is primarily aimed at the $23 million in the District’s ‘Capital Projects’ fund and the $12 million in the ‘Unassigned’ category of the General Budget,” Anderson stated in his email. “That’s $35 million, which seems like a large amount until you consider the District’s monthly operating expenses.

“Each month, the District’s operating expenses total between $3 million and $4 million. This gives us about three months’ worth of reserves in the “General” fund.

“The balance of the ‘Capital Projects’ fund has been hotly debated for years.

Historically, our District is

the most volatile District in the state in terms of student enrollment,” he continued. “If our community experiences a boom in the energy industry, enrollment jumps rapidly and class sizes across the district easily swell to 30 students per class in our elementary schools, 32 in our middle schools, and 35 at the high school.

“Having cash on hand in the ‘Capital Projects’ fund gives the Uintah School Board and the District flexibility that is critical when it comes to making decisions about the need for new or expanded facilities based on our current needs.

“The unique thing about our budget is that we cannot run it like a business,” Anderson added. “By law the District is mandated to maintain separate funds.

The money in those funds can only be used for the designated items assigned to each fund type.

“So, when you look at it, the District would only have $50 million in surplus if we took the Capital Projects and Unassigned funds and lumped them together with: $5 million in debt service that has already been paid out and is sitting in a sinking fund to pay off future debt; $1 million in school foods money; $871,000 in State Institutional Trust Lands monies, Title 1 funds, Special Education dollars, and money from all the other state and federal programs; $700,000 from the budgets of Uintah High School, Uintah Middle School and Vernal Middle School; and $350,000 of out an account for student reading programs.

“At most, you’re dealing with a line of 50 people not 300 or 400,” he said about TSA screenings. “The other nice thing to is, you go to Salt Lake International and they tell you (to arrive) an hour and one-half to two hours before your flight.

“Doing this would be a clear violation of state law.”

Additionally, Anderson said the paid ads claim that “paying cash for new facilities costs taxpayers money due to time factors and inflation.”

“This claim fails to account for the fact that our District earns interest on the money in its “Capital Projects” fund, which all but makes up for inflation with the exception of half a percentage,” he states in his email.

“I asked Zions Bank Public Finance, a group that brokers securities, to look at every calculation and scenario where using cash to pay for District facilities would be unwise, based on current market rates. Its analysts determined that paying cash was better than taking on new debt in every scenario they evaluated with the exception of a few scenarios. These scenarios depend on market conditions that would be tough to predict and would have to be available at the time a school was needed.”

Another claim Anderson disputes involves teacher pay.

not sponsored by Uintah High School and has a small budget given by the city.

“It’s a great program. I think these kids getting interested in local government is huge,” Heidi said. “Local government effects everyone if you want it to or not. Serving the community is really what it’s about.”

TSA have informed me that, if (passengers) are checking bags, they should be here one hour early. If not, 45 minutes before your scheduled departure and you will be just fine.”

While flying out of Vernal takes you in just one direction – to Denver for a connecting flight, Brown hopes area residents see the advantage and continue their increased use of Vernal Regional.

“We can help the community grow,” he said.

“There is also a claim that we were the lowest paid employees in the state,” he said. “I am super proud of the salary schedule we have been working on the past few years that was just put in place, but even before when we were on the old schedule, this claim is not accurate. You can call the state or local UEA to verify its inaccuracies.”

“We operate in a manner in that we try to look at what is going to be the best savings and the lowest cost for the tax payers, Anderson said about the way finances are conducted at the Uintah School District, “not just this year and not just next year but over the generational time period of kids being in Uintah School District and as a resident of the county.

“The way the school district works is extremely complex. It’s not like a business. You don’t get to run it like a business,” he added. “There’s federal requirements. There’s state requirements. There’s local requirements. We’ve got to keep the people of the community happy, but also while following the requirements that are placed upon us.”

DID YOU KNOW? As the election dead line is fast approaching, this being my last “DID YOU KNOW? Article, (at least for a while); THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT I HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE LAST 1 ½ YEARS FOR THE “DID YOU KNOW? ARTICLES. A couple more things that I believe everyone in the Uintah School District should be aware of:

UINTAH SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICY

002.0100 BOARD LEGAL STATUS: POWERS AND DUTIES 10.0 EMPLOY PERSONNEL---Employ by contract a Superintendent, Business Administrator, principal(s), teacher(s), or other executive officer(s) and set salary schedules therefore.

1.3.1 “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and

Utah Code Ann. 20A-14- 202 (3) (2003)

NOW FOR THE UNBELIEVABLE ACTIONS!!

• Given that Uintah County and Vernal City did not pay for the lights on the ball fields, as announced in public meetings by Derek Anderson, four members of the Board held an “under the table” telephone vote (not including Mark Caldwell in the phone vote) to spend an additional $470,000 of “Taxpayers” tax money for ball field lights. In addition to violating their oath of office above, the Board failed to provide proper notice for its telephone vote, as required by the Open and Public Meetings Act

Utah Code Ann. 52-4-102, Utah Code Ann. 52-4-103 (6), Utah Code Ann. 52-4-201, Utah Code Ann. 52-4-202(1). Aside from the Open and Public Meetings Act referenced above, the public schools statute Code 10-9a-103(45); and Utah Code Ann. 53A-19102(3) does require the school board to hold a public hearing prior to adopting or amending a school district’s budget. At this hearing, the school board must provide a reasonable opportunity for members of the public to comment on the budget.

Once more, the “Controlling Group of Three”, after more than a year of many Uintah County Citizens trying to help, seem to really care less about the requirements of the State of Utah or what the taxpayer’s concerns or rights are. “We the Taxpayers” now have only one option left: vote in people that won’t allow such IRRESPONSABLE ACTIONS AND PRESUMPTIONS.

VOTE

SCOOT WILKINS DAVE CHIVERS MARK CALDWELL

Business people who pledge to listen to the taxpayers, (refreshing) also know how to obey the rules and regulations. Businesses can’t afford to always be in violation of the law. Neither can THE UINTAH COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. These candidates all have extensive fiscal and financial backgrounds.

They come already prepared to be responsible with our tax dollars.

Derek Anderson (former business manager of the Uintah County School District) made the following public statement in the Vernal Express on October 23, 2018: “The way the school district works is extremely complex. It’s not like a business. You don’t get to run it like a business”.

FACT: The Uintah County School District now collects and manages more than $86,000,000 per year. Now that’s a business!!! Nothing about the way the school district finances works is extremely complex if you have a business background and know what you are doing. It’s way easier than a business, because you don’t have to deal with impacts of income taxes, bad debts, markets, etc. etc. It’s about funds coming in and funds going out. Then posting it on the computer to its proper fund and then optimizing it’s allowable best use for everyone. Business people know all about that. Nothing about this is complex if that is your background. Optimizing the use and proper management of money, that “We the Taxpayers” as well as the Districts employees so desperately need; that is what businessmen do different than anyone else. That’s what they have spent their lives getting good at.
