Saranac Lake board approves budget transfer report; staff notes unpaid taxes to be relevied
Summary
The Saranac Lake Central School District Board approved Resolution 058-2024 to accept the current budgetary transfer report and heard that unpaid school taxes — recorded in meeting notes at about $1.263 million — will be relevied to county tax rolls, roughly $211,000 more than last year.
The Saranac Lake Central School District Board of Education voted to approve Resolution 058-2024, which accepts the district's current budgetary transfer report. District staff told the board that the transfers reflected in the report were minimal and covered items including library textbooks, busing, transportation and field trips.
During the financial update, district staff reported that unpaid school taxes past the October 31 deadline would be relevied to counties and added to county tax bills. The figure included in the meeting packet and read aloud by staff was recorded as roughly $1.263 million, about $211,000 higher than the previous year. The board did not take an additional formal vote on the relievy; staff indicated the relevey is an administrative step once the statutory deadline passes.
Board members did not ask for further budget transfers beyond those shown in the packet. The board also noted that Nancy and others had prepared the required forms for the relevy and that those signatures would be completed by staff.
The district did not provide a detailed line-by-line vote tally in the meeting transcript beyond the announcement that the resolution carried.
