Board adopts 2025–26 budget, approves year-end fiscal resolutions and consultant agreements
Summary
The board adopted the 2025–26 budget showing a projected deficit and approved several year-end financial resolutions, surplus-property disposal and consultant contracts for employee benefits review and aquatic center planning.
The district adopted its 2025–26 budget after a staff review. Business staff reported a beginning balance of approximately $4.5 million, revenues near $33 million, expenses budgeted near $36 million and a projected $2.9 million deficit; staff said one-time revenues expected after the start of the year may change that projection. Trustees voted to adopt the budget and passed several year-end resolutions authorizing intra-fund transfers and a temporary borrowing authorization as a precaution.
The board also approved a $45,000 contract with Isaac Sports Group to support early planning and community engagement for a future aquatic center project funded by bond dollars and approved hiring a benefits-consulting firm (Volition Group) to convene staff, facilitate education about rising health costs, and run an RFP process leading toward possible benefit changes for implementation in October 2026. Finally, the board approved disposal of identified surplus items from transportation yards and library collections.
Business presenters said current budget assumptions will be revisited as additional one-time funds and property-tax information finalize; they also described the standard process for year-end journal entries and temporary transfers to protect cash flow.
