LOYAL BOARD MULLS REFERENDUM

The Loyal School Board is a step closer to sending a referendum to voters.
They held a special meeting last night with Dave DeYoung, a financial adviser from Stifel Nicolaus.
DeYoung’s analysis projected a $465,000 budget deficit by 2011, and close to $1-million by 2013, unless cuts were made or the district approved a referendum to allow more tax revenue to be collected.
He presented two options:
- A 3-year referendum, $453,000 revenue cap exemption referendum
- A 4-year referendum, $581,000
DeYoung said the shorter referendum would be easier to pass and would probably be based on more accurate predictions.
The board is set to meet again Wednesday night, but probably won’t approve the resolutions authorizing the referendum until November.
The board seemed in agreement that the referendum would go to voters either during the February Primary or April General Election.
