Budget Presentation March 24, 2010
Starting Point • Projected Appropriation Increase (Roll-Over Current Programs) • $6,128,710 • Projected Revenue Decrease • $5,383,190 • Withdrawn Fund Balance Use • $3,060,000
Total Projected Budget Gap • $6,128,710 + $5,383,190 + $3,060,000 • $14,571,900
Information • Available Unreserved/Undesignated Fund Balance • Available Dedicated Reserve Balance • Program Student Impact/Costs
Available Unreserved/Undesignated Fund Balance • $9,484,980 • This is a projected number and is the best case scenario based on current spending levels. • Current law allows for a maximum of 4% of the district’s budget to be retained in this fund balance account. Our current $9.4 million projection exceeds that allowance. • I recommend the use of no more than 50% of the projected fund balance to reduce the levy impact of the 2010-2011 budget. • It is important to remember that the use of fund balance in this way requires a like commitment in subsequent years.
Accessible Dedicated Reserve(s) Balance • $7,879,250 • This balance is the sum of all accessible reserve accounts: workers’ compensation, unemployment, debt service, liability, tax certiorari, and insurance reserves. • I “do not” recommend allocating any of these reserve funds to this year’s budget. I am very concerned about the impact of the loss of ARRA funds on the 2011-2012 budget and the impact of decimating these accounts in the event of unforeseen emergencies.
