Finance committee recommends FY 2024–2025 budget, truck replacements and contract amendment to Board

The Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District Finance Committee reviewed the proposed FY 2024–2025 budget and recommended that the district’s Board of Directors adopt the draft budget.

During the June 11 meeting, committee members examined individual line items in the proposed draft budget. Director Jim Freeman and Director Gary Graves participated in the line-by-line review; Dennis White, the district’s general manager, and Administrative Services Manager Penny Cuadras answered committee questions. The minutes do not list specific dollar amounts or line-item changes.

The committee also reviewed the vehicle and equipment scorecard and recommended that the Board authorize the general manager to replace two aging pickups: a 2005 Dodge Ram (Truck 8) and a 2008 Dodge Ram (Truck 9). The committee’s recommendation was recorded as a motion to forward the authorization request to the Board for decision.

Alyssa Gordon summarized an update on a proposed contract amendment identified in the minutes as Resolution 2024-06 (BRCE CMI). The committee recommended the Board approve Resolution 2024-06; the minutes record the recommendation but do not provide the amendment’s financial terms or contract details.

No formal votes or tallies are recorded in the committee minutes for these recommendations; each is noted as a committee recommendation to the Board, which must take any formal action. The minutes show no public comment and no further substantive conditions attached to the recommendations.

The Board of Directors will consider the committee’s recommendations at a subsequent Board meeting; the minutes do not specify a date for Board action.
