Summary

Chief Financial Officer Mr. Anderson proposed transfers of appropriations across three funds (Resolution 24,506) to correct budget placements; the board approved the resolution. The CFO said the audit report is expected soon and noted a stable enrollment trend in recent years.

Chief Financial Officer Mr. Anderson presented the district’s financial update at the Dec. 19 meeting and asked the board to approve a resolution transferring appropriations within three funds to correct expenses that had been budgeted in the wrong places.

Mr. Anderson described the expenses as legitimate but misbudgeted and asked for action on Resolution 24,506. Director Nelson moved to approve the resolution; Director Richardson seconded. The board voted in favor and the chair announced that the motion passed.

Mr. Anderson also told the board the audit was nearly complete, with remaining items due to auditors and an anticipated issuance of the audit report soon. He noted that, unlike prior years, a five-year enrollment graph showed a roughly flat line for the most recent period, which he described as cautiously hopeful. The CFO listed recent maintenance and facilities work completed or scheduled, including Tremco roof repairs covered by a five-year warranty, planned gutter and drain cleaning, an ice machine replacement at Kurt’s Gym, playground chip replenishment at Colonel Wright and ceiling tile replacement at Watanka.

He also described an elementary “chef competition” scheduled for Feb. 19 requiring neutral judges and said auditors may email board members about management-letter findings prior to the next regular meeting. Board members did not record any dissent to the transfers at this meeting.
