CEC 25 approves $25,000 budget allocation and finalizes meeting dates
Summary
The council approved its $25,000 annual budget allocation, confirmed meeting dates including a June awards meeting, and discussed reimbursement rules and spending categories.
Members of Community Education Council District 25 voted to adopt the council’s proposed budget allocation for the year and to finalize several meeting dates for the coming school year.
The council discussed a total allocation of $25,000 and the major spending categories: reimbursements for members, meeting expenses, supplies, equipment and an administrative p-card. Staff explained the p-card default is $500 and that reimbursements were calculated assuming a full 12-member complement (each member eligible for $125 per month and the president $200 per month). Members were advised that budget modifications can be made before the typical March window and that unspent funds do not roll over into the next fiscal year.
After discussion, the council voted by roll call to adopt the budget as presented so the council could begin processing reimbursements, order meeting refreshments and place modest supply/equipment orders. Council members also agreed on calendar changes: they flagged April (proposed April 15), moved the September meeting from the day before school starts to Wednesday, Sept. 10, and set June’s meeting and awards event for June 10 to avoid typical holiday travel. The council agreed to revisit specific calendar logistics if conflicts arise.
Council members emphasized the largest budget lines are member reimbursements, meeting expenses and supplies and asked the administrative assistant to circulate a clearer breakdown for further input. Members were reminded that unused funds are returned to the city rather than carried forward.
