Board approves 40-year capital plan, updates change funds and adopts two policies
Summary
The board unanimously approved the district’s draft 40-year capital plan (motion moved/seconded and approved), passed Resolution 14.02.26 updating impressed/change funds (ASB impress raised from $3,000 to $6,000), and approved Policy 6217 (electronic funds transfer) and Policy 6605 (student safety: walking, biking, buses). The financial update showed a general fund balance of $9.7M (15.08%).
At the meeting’s action segment, the board voted to approve the district’s draft 40-year capital plan after a motion, second and voice vote. District staff described the plan as a multi-year planning and prioritization tool that identifies projects funded by general fund transfers, bonds, capital levies and the transportation vehicle fund; the plan also incorporates grant awards (notably a $600,000 boiler grant for Valley View).
A motion to approve Resolution 14.02.26 (updates to impressed bank accounts and change funds) was moved and seconded and passed. The resolution removes unused change funds (notably for food services that are now online) and raises the ASB impress bank account from $3,000 to $6,000 to cover increased costs for student travel and immediate needs.
The board then approved Policy 6217 (electronic funds transfer), which had been introduced in January, and Policy 6605 (student safety: walking, biking and buses), which was updated to reflect recent law changes and completed a second reading. Each policy was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote; the transcript records the approvals but does not provide a roll-call tally.
Earlier in the meeting the district’s finance director reviewed January financials: general fund revenue was at 38.58% year-to-date with expenditures at 38.03%; the reported fund balance was $9.7 million (15.08% of budget). January district spending totaled about $4.7 million, with 83% going to salaries and benefits. Notable January payments included $98,000 to ESD 105 for services, $139,000 to the city of Ellensburg for utilities, $48,000 to nutrition vendors, and $94,000 for a new V10 passenger van.
The board approved the capital plan and the administrative updates and adjourned into executive session without further business reported in the public minutes.
Actions recorded in the meeting transcript: the 40-year capital plan (approved), Resolution 14.02.26 (approved), Policy 6217 (approved), Policy 6605 (approved).
