  11. Operating vs. Capital Referendum

  12. CAPITAL Capital Referendums incur debt for facilities (cannot be used for operational expenses)

  13. 2014 $49.6 Million Capital Referendum Provided: $21.2M in Deferred Maintenance $8.0M in Technology Infrastructure $12.6M in Safety and Security $ 7.0M in Limited Renovated Space

  14. OPERATING Operating Referendums are utilized for operating expenses (not debt) - Personnel - Transportation - Utilities - Programs - Co-curriculars

  15. We listened after the April, 2019 referendum. KM is asking for what it needs, when it’s needed. This is not a Band Aid. There is no cliff. This funding offers a sustained future with 100% of tax dollars staying in Kettle Moraine.

  16. What KM needs, when KM needs it $2,500,000 for the 2020-2021 school year + $1,500,000 for the 2021-2022 school year + $1,500,000 for the 2022-2023 school year + $1,500,000 for the 2023-2024 school year ...which equals $7,000,000 in sustained funding on an annual basis.

  17. Legally-required language Legally-required language Gives the board authority, Not a Band Aid but they are not required to utilize it

  21. Tax Rate Stays Flat at $9.78 The tax rate, as a result of a successful referendum, will increase by $0.15 (per $1,000 of property value) in the first year. This referendum WILL NOT INCREASE the tax rate above $9.78 in future years. It is a one-time increase. For example, a home valued at $400k would see the following impact: Tax Year Home Value KM Tax Impact 2020 $400K $3,852 2021 $400K $3,912 2022 $400K $3,912 2023 $400K $3,912 2024 $400K $3,912 2025 $400K $3,912 2026 $400K $3,912

  22. KM Tax Rate Over Time 8 th lowest tax rate in the past 36 years.
