OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE • Energy Performance Contract: • Guaranteed Savings = $ 236,000 • This was built into the 2010-2011 budget preparation. No modification in 2011-2012 budget. 2012-2013 budget modified by adjustment and built-in energy source increase. • Energy Management Services: • Projected cost = $ 9,436 (w/aid)/$ 20,738 (w/o) • Projected Savings = $ 20,000 • All other codes are held constant or increased only as much as contractual obligations indicate (salaries)
TECHNOLOGY • SHIFT IN BOCES: • Decrease of Director of Technology with increase in curriculum and development • DECREASES IN STATE AID AMOUNTS • Result of decreasing student enrollment • IMPROVED TRACKING OF EXPENSES • Tech Director involved in all software/hardware purchases • Budget codes increased to include building identification for cost tracking • $30,000 SHIFTED FROM TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT
TRANSPORTATION • SAVINGS IN CURRENT YEAR • Projected savings of $50,000 in excess of budgeted savings • DEBT SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS • Debt service projections on 1/23/12 included replacement of $95,000 bond payment set to “fall off” in 12-13 • Our recommendation will be to purchase replacement buses at a debt service cost of around $50,000. • $45,000 additional could go to funding NetZero or NYSERDA projects.
Projected Budget/Revenue 2012-2013 Gap With appropriated $1.9M
FUND BALANCE PROJECTION • This means we will use (as needed) $1M rather than $1.94M of appropriated revenue in current year. • That will allow $1M towards next year’s appropriated revenue needs. • That $1M, coupled with ~ $400,000 excess unassigned in 11.12, allows for $1.4M appropriated in 12.13 without touching reserves.
