The Elko Television District board on Thursday accepted the treasurer's report, authorized payment of $34,784.07 in outstanding bills and approved a $300,000 transfer to Raymond James to be placed in staggered certificates of deposit.

The treasurer reported the district closed the fiscal year about $9,000 ahead of projections after a budget that had forecast a nearly $500,000 deficit. The financial statement shown at the meeting listed roughly $600,000 on deposit before the board-approved transfer. The board also heard that $105,000 of cash remains immediately available after the transfer.

The board voted to pay a list of vendors presented at the meeting, including City of Elko ($4,000), Eagle Communications ($5,974.92), Premier Wireless ($16,922.68) and other line items that together totaled $34,784.07. A motion to approve the bills passed on a voice vote.

The $300,000 moved to Raymond James will be placed into staggered one‑year CDs so roughly $100,000 matures every two months, board members said, preserving periodic liquidity. The board also noted the district will continue to manage shorter‑term cash needs from an interest‑bearing account and a cash reserve of about $105,000.

Separately, the board approved a two‑year renewal of the Copy Company LLC contract at the same monthly rate — a $12.50 monthly billing — following a motion and second. The motion passed on a voice vote.

Board members agreed to continue monitoring cash and investment timing and to review the CD ladder as maturities occur.
