| f. Resolution 908: Purchase Real Property for Construction of School Facilities

The resolution ratifies, affirms and approves an agreement to purchase approximately 30 acres of property on 180th Street S.E. between Sunset Road and 51st Avenue S.E. for $22,760,000 from Bear Creek Highlands, LLC. This property is needed for future school facilities to accommodate anticipated future student enrollment growth in the southeastern portion of the District. The Administration will present results of an appraisal prepared by a professionally designated real estate appraiser, and a feasibility/ due diligence study to assess the suitability of the property for the District’s intended use. |
| g. Resolution 912: Designation of Agent
The Administration recommends the Board of Directors adopt Resolution 912 designating the Interim Superintendent as the Board’s agent for the purpose of receipt of notice of a claim for damages against the Everett School District (ATTACHMENT). This action shall be effective September 1, 2008. RCW 4.96.010-020 requires that any person with a claim for damages against a government entity, including school districts, must notify that entity within 60 days before filing a lawsuit. Such designation must be filed with the County Auditor. Failure to appoint an agent for the receipt of claims nullifies any defense of timeliness the District could make if the claim were to be filed later than 60 days. Dr. Whitehead has served as the Board’s agent for the receipt of claims and Karst Brandsma’s appointment as Interim Superintendent necessitates the need to appoint a new agent. | |
