District finance director reports roughly $1 million in delayed revenue; board told to tighten next month’s budget
Summary
Dr. K told the board that delinquent tax collections are about $500,000 below last year and state payments are about 5% behind (roughly $500,000), leaving the district about $1 million below prior projections; staff said a tighter budget will be prepared next month.
Dr. K presented a financial update showing revenues lagging and expenses tracking close to plan, and advised the board that the district will tighten budget projections next month.
Dr. K said local collections were behind prior expectations and cited a shortfall in delinquent tax receipts. "Locally we're up, but we received about $500,000 less in delinquent taxes than we did last year," Dr. K said, adding that the state was also about 5% behind in payments — roughly another $500,000 — leaving the district roughly $1 million below where it was projected to be at this point in the year.
The presentation showed the district’s cash balance is similar to two years ago while expenses have risen, producing a lower fund balance than anticipated. Dr. K said the district typically sees a February uptick in receipts that did not materialize this year and said staff will prepare a tighter budget for the next month’s review.
What’s next: The board was told to expect a tighter budget presentation next month and to monitor whether delinquent tax collections and state payments catch up in the coming months. No formal budget action was taken at the meeting.
