Banning Unified board approves 2024–25 unaudited actuals, several fiscal resolutions and personnel items; Measure O timing explained
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the 2024–25 unaudited actuals, multiple fiscal resolutions (including GAN limit and Education Protection Account) and personnel actions, and heard that Measure O proceeds arrived after June 30, requiring temporary accounting steps; the developer-fee rate was also updated to $5.17.
The Banning Unified School District Board of Trustees approved a slate of fiscal and personnel items during its Sept. 11 meeting, voting unanimously on the district’s 2024–25 unaudited actuals and multiple resolutions and reports.
Chief financial staff presented the unaudited actuals, a reconciliation of revenues, expenditures and fund balances as of June 30. Director Ramos reported an increase of about $1.8 million in revenues compared with estimated actuals, and an increase of about $574,000 in expenditures; the district’s reserve for economic uncertainty increased slightly (0.44 percentage points). Staff noted some capital projects and developer-fee carries that roll forward and said the unaudited actuals will be audited by external auditors later in the year.
On Measure O, staff explained that proceeds for Series A (approximately $17.2 million) were received July 17—after June 30—so the district used normal closing mechanics and short-term transfers to reflect timing differences; staff said proceeds have now been received. Trustee questions asked whether the timing could be improved; staff said that, given market and rating-agency processes, the timing varied and there was no statutory deadline missed.
Trustees also approved business-service resolutions: GAN limit resolution No. 26-005 (establishing maximum appropriation limitations), the Education Protection Account resolution No. 26-006, and the 2024–25 annual developer-fee report. Staff explained the developer fee rose to $5.17 per unit (from prior levels shown in the report) due to a state Allocation Board adjustment; staff said the increase affects future development uniformly and is not expected to uniquely impede growth in Banning.
On personnel and labor items the board approved an expanded learning opportunities grant expenditure plan and ratified tentative agreements with CSEA Chapter 147 under AB 1200 public disclosure. The board approved the employment contract for Kirk Skorpanich as assistant superintendent of human resources; Skorpanich introduced himself and described a collaborative approach.
All motions on reported agenda items passed by voice vote, typically 5-0 as recorded in the meeting minutes.
