Board accepts finance report; business office flags MS-22 signatures and reimbursement grant
Summary
The board approved the finance report after a presentation from Sam, who said the district recorded about 3,500 media engagements and flagged line-item overages that are mostly grant-funded; the board was asked to sign MS-22 appropriations before leaving.
Sam, the district finance staffer, presented the finance report and asked board members to sign the MS-22 appropriations form before they left, saying he would upload the document to the DRA portal. Sam told the board, "we had about 3,500 total engagements" on the district's media drops and that the last month accounted for nearly 1,500 of those interactions. He previewed a fuller data dive for an upcoming meeting.
On budget details Sam noted items more than $2,500 over that are flagged in the packet. He said one overage line (2122) is grant-funded for about 98 percent and that the district is working with the vendor to correct billing errors. He also described SAFE grant reimbursements, saying once the work is complete the district expects to be reimbursed "at least a $135,000." Board members asked clarifying questions about whether the overages would be corrected and were told they should be eliminated once vendor adjustments are complete.
The board voted to accept the finance report by voice vote. The board also confirmed it will finalize discussion of engagement data and a planned media strategy at a future meeting; Sam offered to present deeper analytics at an April or May meeting.
Why it matters: MS-22 sign-off and appropriation clarity are administrative steps tied to state reporting; flagged overages and the $135,000 SAFE grant reimbursement affect how the district closes the fiscal year and manage cash flow.
What’s next: Sam will return with detailed engagement analytics and updated budget line explanations at a subsequent meeting; board members were asked to sign MS-22 before leaving the meeting.
