District END certified at $1.77 million; committee re‑approves FY27 budget in technical revote
Summary
The Department of Revenue certified the regional district's END (excess and deficiency) at $1,772,572 (4.38% of FY26 budget). The committee performed a procedural revote to reapprove the FY27 budget after certification; administrators said the district remains within the statutory 5% cap and is budgeting conservatively.
Administration reported that the Commonwealth certified the district's excess and deficiency (END) at $1,772,572, equal to 4.38% of the FY26 budget, leaving a small cushion below the 5% statutory cap.
"We submitted on time and the Department of Revenue took its time to certify. We're certified at $1,772,572 and that's about 4.38% of our FY26 budget," Business Manager Bob said, noting the figure reflects recent one‑time revenues and interest income timing. Bob told the committee the district still budgets $300,000 of END to offset operating costs and that the current level is healthy for the coming year.
Because END certification happened after the district's earlier March vote on the FY27 budget, the committee performed a procedural revote of the FY27 proposed budget in the same amount as the March 4 approval; the regional vote carried on roll call.
Next steps: administration will continue to monitor one‑time revenue recognition and END levels during future budget cycles and present any material changes during budget development.
