Board hears Jan. financial update; staff proposes budget amendments to correct codes and recognize surplus sales
Summary
Maury County financial staff reported strong collections and a projected year-end revenue near $38–39 million, described an $8.5 million surplus with about $6 million in open purchase orders, and introduced budget amendments including a corrective amendment tied to a prior food-service grant and recognition of a surplus equipment sale.
Maury County financial staff told the board on Jan. 20 that property-tax receipts and sales-tax trends have the district tracking well for the fiscal year. Jake (financial staff) said property-tax collections were above 50 percent at the time of the report and projected year-end revenues "somewhere in that 38 to 39,000,000 mark." He also reported the district's current fund position as an $8,500,000 surplus with roughly $6,000,000 in open purchase orders.
Board members then reviewed multiple budget amendments. Jake explained amendment No. 46 is a corrective action to rescind and reissue a prior budget amendment because it used an incorrect object code; the correction ties to federal guidance governing excess balances for food service. Amendment No. 47 recognizes proceeds from a govdeals sale of surplus Career and Technical Education (CTE) equipment and places the funds back into the CTE budget.
Miss Stevenson and other board members asked staff to annotate future line items when they rescind or correct earlier amendments so the board can track prior actions; staff agreed. The chair indicated, absent further questions, the board would move the listed amendments to the consent agenda for the full board meeting.
No formal vote was recorded in the work session; the items were prepared for consent at the next business meeting.
