Th Report TuMQoy, Augutt 1 1 H8 1 Pog 3 Lunch prices up $1.25 in secondary schools, $1 in elementary Lunch price increases of between 40 and 45 percent per week were approved Monday when the rond du Lac Board of Education established school lunch prices for the 1981-82 school year. Student weekly lunch prices for 1981-82 will increase $1.25 from $2.75 to $4 per week for secondary schools and from $1 from $2.50 to $3.50 for elementary schools. Student single ticket prices will jump from 50 cents to 70 cents in elementary schools from from 70 cents to 90 cents at secondary schools. Price for a carton of milk will increase from the previous 5 cents to 15 cents for 1981-82 Adult weekly prices will be raised to $5 from $4, while the individual adult ticket will increase from 90 cents to $1. The increase in prices, Supt.

of Schools Jerome N. Strupp noted, was not as great as school district administrators once thought would be needed to keep the school lunch program at the "break-even point." The school district attempts to operate the lunch program in such a manner that it is self-sustaining rather than to have its costs financed by taxpayers In April, administrators were predicting that lunch prices could reach as high as $1 to $1.25 per meal, due largely to projected cutbacks in federal subsidies to the school lunch program. Per individual meal subsidies were at the 18.5-cent level when school opened for the 1980-81 term and dropped to the 16.5-cent level by the end of the school year. They have been estamisn-ed at 10 cents per meal for 19H1-82, Strupp stated. Commodity subsidies have dropped from last year's 20 cents per meal to 11 cents per meal this year, he said.

The board voted to accept the lowest of four sealed bids for the milk supplier contract to the district for 1981-82. Submitting the apparent low bid was the Mapleton Dairy Distributing Mapleton. However, after the bid was accepted, Gerald G. Hanson of Morning Glory Dairy of Fond du Lac, questioned the manner in which the low bid was submitted. Hanson contended that the Mapleton firm's bid was not valid since no check accompanied the bid as set forth in specifica tions.

Kenneth Grove, the district's assistant business director, said the Mapleton firm's representative stated he did not know that a check had to accompany the company's bid. After being told of the requirement, the representative did bring a check to the bid opening, Grove stated. Strupp said administrators will ask City Atty, John Keefe for an opinion as to whether the bid procedure was violated by the Mapleton Dairy Distributing Co. Hanson also questioned how the board could award the milk supplier contract for 1981-82 to an out-of-town firm when the difference between the apparent low bid and Morning Glory's bid was only approximately $H0 over the length of the contract. The district is expected to pay the supplier about $95,000 for milk during the 1981-82 school year, Grove said.

In other action, the board voted to raise the annual music instrument rental fee from the previous $10 to $20 per year for 1981-82 and to $25 per year for 1982-83. Strupp, noting that the district each year rents out some 373 school-owned instruments to music students, said the district spent more than $8,500 for instrument repairs in 1980-81. The new fee, he commented, is "still a great bargain." Part of Main Street to be closed Mall project likely doomed The project is expected to take all day, said Koemer, adding, "Hopefully, it will be done by the end of the day." Koemer said there are no other plans to close Main Street during the remainder of the construction season. Traffic, however, will be restricted where intersections are being reconstructed. Main Street motorists will have a new obstacle to overcome Wednesday when a portion of the street is closed near the new Nielsen Office Building.

Main Street will be blockaded at Division and Sheboygan Streets, according to City Engineer Bill Koenier, to allow connection of the Nielsen Building to the city water system. School budget larger; levy may stay same Sc Nik Jit By MICHAEL MENTZER Reporter Staff Writer The proposed Darling Place Mall in downtown Fond du Lac appears doomed because of a money" market. Fond du Lac Community Development Director Robert I Peterson said this morning he will recommend that the city "discontinue its attempts to develop Darling Place Mall with American Redevelopers Inc. of Minneapolis; but he did riot rule out the possibility of future mall development. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Fond du Lac Redevelopment Authority at its meeting Aug.

19, and that group will then make its recommendation for consideration at the Aug. 26 Common Council meeting. In a letter to City Manager Myron Medin received Aug. 6 and obtained by The Reporter today, American Redevelopers 'President Jack E. McLaughlin requested an extension on the Oct.

1 deadline that required "a more definitive agreement" between the developer and city posal called for construction in a block bounded by Forest Avenue, Main, Macy and First Streets and on property along the north side of Forest Avenue between Main and Macy Streets. The developer had promised to spend at least $8.25 million on the project. Late in July city officials traveled to Washington, D.C. to explain the $618,570 grant application that would have triggered the project. They went to Washington with statements of support from local financial institutions and other businesses.

Federal officials, however, stated that a detailed list of cost estimates, architectural plans and more lease commitments would be needed before the grant could be approved. The mall proposal has been controversial since it was first presented. Business owners on the west side of Main Street between Forest Avenue and First Street have expressed their opposition to the project several times in recent months. officials. The Redevelopers president requested that the memorandum of understandings be amended to allow "the parties until April 30, 1982, to enter into this agreement His reasons for requesting the extension are the tight financing situation and because a federal grant application necessary for financing has been carried over to the next quarter.

1 McLaughlin said the status of the grant application "makes it somewhat uncertain that this project ever will proceed." He said his company could not justify additional expenses in the meantime. Peterson, noting that the city "does not want to wait" another six months for American Developers, said other downtown development alternatives will be pursued. He said he is disappointed with the status of the mall proposal. "Anytime you lose out on a $10 million development, you have to be disappointed," he said. The Darling Place Mall pro The district had to ask for the advance payment when a large number of teachers requested payment of the remainder of their 1980 81 salary in one lump sum rather than spread out over the summer months.

Also included in the end-of-year balance is money collected from additional interest earnings, Strupp said. Members of the Fiscal Board, which includes the Fond du Lac Common Council and town chairmen from the Towns of Byron, Eden, Empire, Fond du Lac and Taychcedah asked Strupp and other administrators a wide variety of questions regarding the education budget but gave no indication of strong objections. "I think that you've done quite a job with what you have," commented Common Council member Al Timm. The proposed 1981-82 public recreation budget lists expenditures of $.374,578 an increase of $24,579 or 7.02 percent over 1980-81 expenditures of Projected tax levy for public education purposes for 1982 is $273,529 a decrease of $14,828 or 5. 1 percent from the 1981 levy of $288,356.

Last-minute changes by the Fond du Lac Board of Education could result in Fiscal Board adoption on Wednesday of a public education budget for 1981-82 with no accompanying tax levy increase. The Board of Education, at the recommendation of Supt. of Schools Jerome N. Strupp, moved to amend the 1981-82 proposed public education budget to reflect the addition of unanticipated state aids income of $50,475. The i board chose to use the unanticipated income to offset the previously-proposed increase in tax levy payment for 1982 for education purposes of $50,475.

The Fiscal Board, which Monday night conducted a public hearing on the school district's public education and recreation budgets, will consider at a meeting set for 8 p.m. Wednesday at City Hall adoption of what Strupp termed a "no-levy-increase budget" totaling $18,635,196 up $1,322,872 or 7.6 percent over last year's public education budget of $17,312,324. About 30 persons attended Monday's public hearing of an 1 hours. Few questions were asked. The proposed 1982 lax levy for education purposes, as amended Monday afternoon by the Board of Education, calls for collection of $10,076,314 the same amount as the 19H1 tax levy.

In his annual budget message, Strupp stated: "The budget proposal once again represents a Board of Education commitment to provide an excellent educational program in a fiscally responsible manner." Strupp explained that additional aids came about because of a "conservative approach" administrators took in projecting state aids for 1981-82. It was not until the recent adoption of the state budget that exact slate aids the district will receive for 1981-82 became known. A substantial end-of-year balance totaling $595,991 has helped make the 1981-82 public education document a no-levy-increase budget. The balance includes some $88,709 in revenue that the district was required to set aside following last summer's announcement by Gov. Lee S.

Dreyfus that districts could anticipate a reduction in state aids. Some $250,000 of the end-of-year surplus represents advance payment on the tax levy from the City of Fond du Lac. i)l1, ivoL-o Reporter Photo Fond du Lac County Planner Wayne Rollin emphasizes a point during Monday night's meeting of the Town of Fond du Lac Board. Rollin explained the county's search for a new landfill site as the town board voted unanimously to amend its zoning ordinance to require that solid waste disposal sites and facilities receive special exception approval from both the town board of appeals and the town board. "It does not prohibit a landfill, but we have a more definite handle on whether one can go in the township or not," said town Chairman Donald Schmitz.

"Obviously, it still doesn't prevent the county from setting up a landfill because they have the power of condemnation." Both Rollin and County Executive Anita Anderegg discussed the county's landfill search before a Fond du Lac Town Hall crowd estimated at between 125 and 200.

"There are going to be a lot of fired people around here," Heuer commented. "It gets to be really hectic around here.

People have been putting out 200 percent to keep it going so well. We've had superb cooperation from everyone involved. "Initially, low clouds were a problem for us and then there were the rain showers. All that set us back about a half a day," Heuer reported. "But other than that, things have been going very well, and there have been no major problems." Heuer said that the time lag caused by the weather can be corrected by eliminating certain phases of the competition.

"Even if we do drop a flight, the pilots will have plenty of time in the air," he said. After the first day of competition, Dennis Sawyer of Kingsboro, is leading in the Advanced division and Steve McKinney of Hamersville, Ohio, is leading in the Sportsman division. Wisconsin man, Bob Schlamer of Greendale, presently stands in third position in the Sportsman class.
