Preliminary budget shows $46.24M in revenues; staff reports proposed 1.051915‑mill increase
Summary
Staff presented a preliminary budget with revenues and expenditures totaling $46,241,697 and proposed increasing millage by 1.051915 mills to 28.024; staff said updated gambling-tax receipts raised revenue projections but the exact revised figure was not specified in the discussion.
At the meeting, district staff reviewed preliminary budget figures showing revenues and expenditures of $46,241,697 and a proposed millage increase of 1.051915 mills, which would raise the district's millage rate to 28.024.
Staff said these were preliminary numbers and noted an update from a recent letter that increased expected gambling/gaming tax revenue. Staff described that the updated tax amount allowed an increase in projected revenues but did not provide a precise revised figure during the discussion.
During the review, staff described adjustments to expense line items — including spreading some retirement costs across lines — which produced differences between top‑line revenues and detailed expense subtotals. Board members asked clarifying questions about one‑year versus multiyear options for certain contracts, and staff indicated they were prepared to discuss options for 2025–26.
Next steps: staff will continue to refine the budget and respond to board questions; numbers presented were preliminary and subject to change as tax and revenue confirmations arrive.
