Audit finds no issues as Measure S spending winds down; committee schedules follow-up
Summary
A presenter told the Measure S Facilities Oversight Committee that Clifton Larson’s audit found no findings for the year ending 06/30/2025. Committee members heard budget and DSA-closeout details, were told 22 sampled transactions represented roughly 74% of $2.4 million in expenditures, and set a follow-up meeting (proposed April 29) to finalize the annual report.
The Measure S Facilities Oversight Committee heard an audit report finding no financial findings and reviewed remaining project spending as it prepares to close out the program.
The Chair opened the meeting and Crystal, a district staff member, led roll call and the facilities status update. Crystal reported there were no new Measure S projects since the committee last met and that remaining work consists of finalizing expenditures tied to past projects.
A presenter who reviewed the budget and audit told the committee: "There were no findings related to the financial audit of the Measure S bond, building fund for this year ending in 06/30/2025." According to the presenter, Clifton Larson conducted the audit and the auditors examined procedures and a sample of expenditures.
Why it matters: The audit’s clean finding is the latest sign that Measure S spending is closing out as expected, and staff said the remaining expenditures should be exhausted by the end of the fiscal year. Committee members will compile an annual report and present it publicly at a subsequent meeting.
Details from the budget review included line items read aloud by the presenter: Roosevelt construction costs (reported around 536,000), security hardware upgrades, a BHS security camera system (reported at about 140,000), and playground resurfacing (reported about 2,200). The presenter also discussed DSA-related closeout work and associated fees, and clarified that some software fees reflected project-management and DSA closeout assistance rather than ongoing software purchases.
On audit sampling, the Chair and presenter said the auditors reviewed 22 randomly selected transactions totaling "just over 1,800,000," and the Chair noted that those sampled transactions represented roughly 74% of a 2,400,000 total figure cited in the discussion — a large share because overall Measure S activity is winding down.
Next steps: The committee did not have quorum and deferred formal approval of prior minutes. Members discussed dates for a follow-up meeting to finalize the annual report and close out 25/26 expenditures. The group agreed to propose April 29 as the next meeting date and asked staff to circulate a poll with time options (examples discussed included 07:30 AM and 04:30 PM) and to announce the chosen time by Friday, February 20. The Chair adjourned the meeting at 07:59.
