It's been well over 6 months since it was pointed out by a citizen at a school board Finance Committee meeting, and later at full board meetings, that Tim Culver's reimbursement for Rotary Club dues exceed the terms of his contract.Finance Committee chair Jim McCourt isn't concerned. Off the record, another current board member stated that it should be addressed, but "likely we [the school board] will simply vote to amend Culver's contract to include the Rotary Club dues".
Some wonder how sweet a deal does our District Administrator have to get before our elected school board members, cry foul? A contract is a contract, and if this one is being exceeded, what else is being exceeded? Are the school district's finances an open-air chicken coop?
Culver's contract calls for :
$135, 454 salary ( $11,288/mo)
$ 3,900 ($ 325/m0) for use of his car within Dane Co
$ 1,500 ($ 125/mo) for "miscellaneous out of pocket expenses"
We, the taxpayers, already pay for two memberships, as per the contract.
Should Culver's $125/month, automatic pay, for "miscellaneous expenditures" be used to cover his $25/quarter Rotary dues? Last year taxpayers paid just over $400 for his Rotary Club dues and meals during their meetings. Isn't that precisely the kind of expense for which he's already paid $125 per month?
We're sure this is one of those small insignificant amounts that new board member Terry Shimek indicated that he wasn't concerned about during the elections. Wonder if he'd feel that way if it were coming out of HIS own pocket?
