District plans county commission request for capital reserve funding; board to transmit budget resolution
Summary
District staff said they will present a request to county commissioners (Sept. 15) asking the county to appropriate capital‑reserve funds; staff described the requirement to present a budget resolution and pre‑audit reports under state general statutes before the county will release funds.
District staff told the board they will ask Caswell County commissioners on Sept. 15 to appropriate funds from a county capital reserve so the district can pay for building maintenance and agreed projects, and outlined the required paperwork and timeline for the county to release funds.
Why it matters: The board must provide a budget resolution and reports that comply with state general statutes before county commissioners will authorize release of capital monies to the district. Staff said the county’s process includes presentation and then a separate resolution the commissioners adopt before funds are cut and made available to the school system.
What staff said: a staff presenter described having met with county officials and said the process requires the district to submit project lists, timelines, estimated costs and pre‑audit reports so the county can track spending. "Once we're ready to make paper, they will release funds to us for that and we can pay it," the presenter said, describing the county‑commissioner step as the mechanism that will allow the district to issue payments.
Next steps: staff said they will prepare the budget resolution and required pre‑audit documentation for the Sept. 15 county‑commissioners agenda and keep the board apprised of the timeline. Board members asked clarifying questions about the statute and the timing for releasing funds; staff said the county has procedures that may take more than one meeting.
No final appropriation vote by the board was recorded during the meeting; staff said the item will appear on the Sept. 15 county agenda and that the county will then release funds if and when the required reports and resolutions are complete.
