to September bills:
Page 6: Another $1,000,0000 was transferred to the
Capital Reserve Account. That is where
the $7.5 million for the administration building comes out of.
Page 19: $47,221.46 more was paid to SSP Architectural
Group for Lincoln School. Their professional services contract was NO
BID (approximately $400,000 in Architectural fees).
Lodi
has been lied to.
The teachers without a contract were told that the
$7.5 million was already in the Capital Reserve Account before the Board moved
forward with the project and that money could only be used on the project.
Truth: millions were transferred into capital reserves
after the fact. That money was taken
from our schools and transferred over for the project.
The taxpayers were told that the money was already
collected and no more tax dollars were required for the project.
Truth: Tax
dollars collected after the Board already moved forward with the project have
been transferred to capital reserves.
There was never enough money in capital reserves at the time the Board
said there was.
Once again: all $7,5000,000 is Lodi tax dollars. Lodi received ZERO grant money.
